Python regius
- Common names: royal python, ball python.[2]
Python regius is a non-venomous python species found in Africa. This is the smallest of the African pythons and is popular in the pet trade. No subspecies are currently recognized.[3]
Contents |
Adults generally do not grow to more than 90–120 cm (3.0–3.9 ft) in length,[2] although some specimens have reached 152 cm and even 182 cm (5–6 feet), but this is very rare.[4] Females tend to be slightly bigger than males maturing at an average of 4-4.5 feet. Males usually average around 3-3.5 feet.[5] The build is stocky[2] while the head is relatively small. The scales are smooth[4] and both sexes have anal spurs on either side of the vent.[6] Although males tend to have larger spurs, this is not definitive, and sex is best determined via manual eversion of the male hemipenes or inserting a probe into the cloaca to find the inverted hemipenes (if male).[7]
The color pattern is typically black or dark brown with light brown or gold sides and dorsal blotches. The belly is a white or cream that may or may not include scattered black markings.[4] However, those in the pet industries have, through selective breeding, developed many morphs(genetic mutations) with altered colors and patterns.[8]
Common names
Royal python, ball python.[2]
The name ball python refers to the animal's tendency to curl into a ball when stressed or frightened.[9] The name royal python (from the Latin "regius") is based in part on the story that Cleopatra supposedly wore the snake around her wrist.
Geographic range
Found in Africa from Senegal, Mali, Guinea-Bissau, Guinea, Sierra Leone, Liberia, Ivory Coast, Ghana, Benin, Niger and Nigeria through Cameroon, Chad and the Central African Republic to Sudan and Uganda. No type locality was given in the original description.[1]
Prefers grasslands, savannahs and sparsely wooded areas.[2]
This terrestrial species is known for its defense strategy that involves coiling into a tight ball when threatened, with its head and neck tucked away in the middle. In this state, it can literally be rolled around. Favored retreats include mammal burrows and other underground hiding places where they also aestivate. In captivity they are considered good pets, for their relatively small size and placid nature make them easy to handle.[2]
In the wild, the diet consists mostly of small mammals, such as African soft-furred rats, shrews and striped mice. Younger individuals have also been known to feed on birds. Pythons that are imported from the wild tend to be picky eaters and may not respond to food as well as captive-bred pythons, which usually do well on domestic rats and mice, either live, pre-killed, or frozen-thawed.[4] The size of the prey item given to a python should be equivalent to or slightly larger than the width of the largest part of their body. This python is known for being a picky eater and may not eat for months, particularly during the winter breeding season. While this is not odd, care should be taken to watch that the snake does not experience significant weight loss.[10]
Oviparous, with anywhere from 3-11 rather large, leathery eggs being laid (4-6 being most common).[4] These are incubated by the female under the ground and hatch after 55 to 60 days. Sexual maturity is reached at 6–18 months for males, 12–36 months for females. Age is only one factor in determining sexual maturity and ability to breed – weight is the second factor. Males will breed at 500 grams or less, but in captivity are often not bred until they are 800 grams (1.7 lbs.), and females will breed in the wild at weights as low as 800 grams, though 1200 grams or more is most common--in captivity, breeders generally wait until they are no less than 1500 g (3.3 lbs.). Parental care of the eggs ends once they hatch, and the female leaves the offspring to fend for themselves.[7]
Due to their smaller size compared to other pythons and commonly docile temperament, these snakes are bred in captivity and have become popular as pets.[11] Juveniles tend to be more aggressive at first, but typically calm down as they get used to human contact. Wild-caught specimens have greater difficulty adapting to a captive environment, which can result in refusal to feed, and they generally carry internal or external parasites which must be eliminated by administering anti-parasitic drugs. Specimens have survived for over 40 years in captivity.[12] In captivity, most adult Python regius should be kept in a minimum of a 20 US gallons (76 L) long glass tank, as these pythons are ground dwellers and are highly secretive and largely sedentary. Some large females may require cages up to the size of a 40 US gallons (150 L) long tank. Also, at least two hiding places should be provided at different ends of the tank, one should have a thermostat-controlled heating pad under it to allow the animal to regulate its temperature. Be aware that most snakes are escape artists, therefore the tank should have a locking lid. Juveniles in particular may be stressed by overly large cages that do not have sufficient small hiding spaces. Controlled temperatures of 80 °F (27 °C) with a 90 °F (32 °C) basking area on one end of the cage are necessary for proper health. Humidity should be maintained at 60% to 80% with dry substrate.[7]
Beliefs and folklore
This species is particularly revered in the traditional religion of the Igbo people of southeastern Nigeria. It is considered symbolic of the earth, being an animal that travels so close to the ground. Even among many Christian Igbos, these pythons are treated with great care whenever they happen to wander into a village or onto someone's property; they are allowed to roam freely or are very gently picked up and placed out in a forest or field away from any homes. If one is accidentally killed, many communities in Igboland will still build a coffin for the snake's remains and give it a short funeral.[13]

I really want to get off the 304 branch, it has two annoying bugs: occasional "red screens" and compiz redraw issues (a single window becomes white until I resize it to force redraw).
Yeah. I'm using 313.18 since forever on Arch with 3.8.2 Kernel now without issues.
Well Intel might support hardware before it is released but NVIDIA drivers simply work.
I have heard that even with HD4000 glitches are not uncommon.
Let's just agree that AMD drivers suck.

Personal Soup Chef Review
Time is running out on fun in the sun. All those activities–like going to the beach, picnicking in the park, or grilling in the backyard–are facing a closing window of opportunity. Soon, the weather will change, and outside activities along with it. The great outdoors, however, will still offer a fantastic assortment of things to do; it's just that they'll be a lot colder. Where once outdoor activities were associated with hot dogs and hamburgers, the turning of the season will now replace them with another, great seasonal food: soup.
What's that you say? You were too busy having fun this summer to learn how to make soup? Well, no worries, the Personal Soup Chef is here to help.
With "minimal human intervention," and for only around $150, the automatic soup-maker handles the entire task. Food-processing blades chop vegetables, and then slowly stir the soup as it cooks. An adjustable temperature range offers the ability to cook from a slow simmer to a rapid boil. The inclusion of a removable basket facilitates in the process of making smooth broths allowing for meat, vegetables, and herbs to be evacuated without the need for an additional strainer. Like any good soup-maker (human or otherwise), the ability to check seasonings as the soup cooks is important; lifting the lid on this unit doesn't stop the cooking process–although it does signify the end of summer.

Fans recall what Paul McCartney — and the Beatles — meant to them
On June 18, 1942, a boy named James Paul McCartney was born in Liverpool, England. He'd grow up and meet other chaps — John Lennon, George Harrison, Ringo Starr — and together as the Beatles, they'd impact the lives of countless millions around the world, and of people living in Milwaukee, during the '60s and the decades that followed.
McCartney has been active ever since, in Wings, as a solo artist and on the road. On Tuesday, McCartney will take the stage at a sold-out Miller Park for his first Milwaukee concert since 2005, to perform in front of about 40,000 spectators. »Read Full Article(2)

'Under the Skin,' with Scarlett Johansson, confounding, captivating
"Under the Skin" is so baffling and riveting that when a reel was skipped the first time I saw it I never batted an eye.
It wasn't all that narratively literal beforehand, and this, I thought, was just another ambiguity, in the tradition of David Lynch, whose "Lost Highway" and "Mulholland Dr." make U-turns in the middle and turn into something else. Even seeing it a second time as intended offered no a-ha moment — or more, accurately, posed a different set of questions. »Read Full Article

Introduction | Comparing previous versions | G12 vs P7000 vs EX1: Which is the best ? | Expert compacts? | Conclusion |
When a new model is issued, the first question that arises is what kinds of improvements it brings. The answer is different for each of our three competitors.
For Samsung it's quite easy, as the EX1 is the first of its kind.
For Nikon, the P7000 is a big change from the P6000. With its 10 megapixels, the CCD sensor of the P7000 also sees its pixel pitch climbing to 2.1 µm instead of 1.8 µm for the P6000. This helps it achieve a better low-light ISO score, reaching 147 ISO for the P7000…. roughly 14% better than the P6000.
This new heart provides the P7000 with better image quality than the P6000. This evolution is noticeable in all the tested fields—SNR, dynamic range, tonal range and color sensitivity have all improved.
For Canon, things are a little bit more complicated. The G11 was already very good. For the G12, Canon focused more on adding new functions and on video than on improving image quality. In all tested fields, the metrics are almost the same. People using a G11 should see very few differences with a G12 in terms of picture quality.
To provide photographers with a broader perspective about mobiles, lenses and cameras, here are links to articles, reviews, and analyses of photographic equipment produced by DxOMark, renown websites, magazines or blogs.

Seattle Seahawks cornerback Richard Sherman is doing a three-stop tour of high schools to promote education. / Timothy T. Ludwig, USA TODAY Sports
What did one successful blowhard say to the other?
"I'm better at life than you."
Seattle Seahawks All-Pro cornerback Richard Sherman was a master troll on ESPN's daily troll-fest, First Take, ripping Skip Bayless after everyone's favorite host tried to goad him into saying he's better than Darrelle Revis. Sherman spends four minutes blasting Bayless, calling him ignorant, pompous and worthless.
The whole thing comes off as contrived as the show usually is, but unlike normal segments on First Take, it's watchable. I highly recommend all four minutes.
The money quotes from Sherman:
â?¢ "Whenever you refer to me, whenever you speak to me, whenever you address me, address me as All-Pro Stanford graduate beacuse those are some accomplishments you will aspire to but never accomplish. You have never accomplished anything."
â?¢ "I think you think more of yourself than you can prove."
â?¢ "In my 24 years of life, I'm better at life than you."
â?¢ "I'm intelligent enough and capable enough to understand that you are ignorant, pompous, egotistical, cretin. I'm going to crush you on here because I'm tired of hearing about it."
â?¢ "I'm tired of your ignorant pollution."
It's fun to watch, even if highlighting it accomplishes the sole mission of First Take: Make headlines.
Even when he loses, Skip Bayless wins, again.

Peter Enns, Westminster, Inerrancy, and Textual Criticism
"Two of the hottest issues in evangelical theology right now are the New Testament's use of the Old Testament and evangelical textual criticism." (Ted Olsen, 'Westminster Theological Seminary Suspends Peter Enns')
It is great that our blog is one of the two hottest issues in evangelical theology; but unfortunately I couldn't detect much interest in textual criticism in Enn's book Inspiration and Incarnation (2005); or in the debates initiated by it, for an introduction to these see e.g. Green Baggins and Digital Brandon.
Now, however, WTS have released some of the internal faculty documents (debating papers), which are quite helpful in clarifying (some of) the issues that have divided their faculty. At a fairly basic level this reflects an important debate about the role of the phenomena of Scripture in clarifying and modifying a doctrine of Scripture derived initially from Scripture's direct self-testimony; with a predictable division between the biblical scholars ('yes the phenomena are really important' - see the Hermeneutics Field Committee's Reply to the HTFC, pp. 28-97) and the systematicians ('phenomena? ha! they didn't pose a problem in the 17th century so why worry about them now?').
But in this document we also have some discussion of textual criticism, as illustrating the principle that reformed theologians have had to adjust to the changes in the realia since the 17th century, and that Warfield in particular was at the heart of various theological adjustments in the light of hard evidence - in one case regarding the Long Ending of Mark (Hermeneutics Field Committee's Reply to the HTFC, pp. 50-52).

This is a very interesting issue, but one I think will be hard to grasp unless one is throughly versed with/in Reformed theology and believes it as "a more perfect representation of Christianity."
I have not read this book, but I do recall a similar case when Dr. Norman Shepherd was called onto the carpet about his understanding and **articulation** of the relationship beheind faith and works.
Without going into this issue further, I would just like to observe that I remember Dr. Peter Enns while he was a student and a remark of his once while we were sitting at he same table in the library at WTS. I was reading Ridderbos or someone else's book and asked Peter what he thought about some statement. He was reading the OT in Hebrew and candidly remarked that he would read the Hebrew text (through first, i.e. the whole OT in Hebrew) before he would or could comment upon an author's opinion.
What surprises me is that the OT faculty did not proof read Dr Enns work first and suggest improvements on the way the matter was presented, esp. since so many ill-informed and less informed conceptualizations of the relationship between the human author's capacity and the divine responsibility and accountability are so widely and variously understood.
One problem, as I see it, is the fact that the Reformed tradition already has had so many capable expounders of this issue, i.e. Alexander, Young, Hodge, Warfield, Berkhof, et al and the set ingrained manner that this doctrine is articulated in the WCF as well as other Reformed creeds.

Is this an instance of a scholar/theologian deriving a doctrine of the Scriptures from the way the Scriptures are, instead of first filtering his statements through a creedal grid or lens?

This question is exactly the kind of response I was referring to in my previous post.
The source of theology/principium theologiae are the Scriptures themselves. Historic Creeds are based upon them. They themselves represent slovo zdravnoe/ "form of sound words." They are viewed as summations of the contents of the Scriptural teachings themselves and are easily demonstrated to be adequate representations of such.
The problem arises when one attempts to convey the conceptualizations behind the words in teaching.
Consequently, do we have the Scriptures teaching infra or supralapsarianism? Or is the idea of free will taught in Scripture or is it so taught in relation to other issues (Erasmus/Luther dialogue). How does the mystery of prayer and predestination relate? Can a believer be demon possessed or simply at weak moments influenced and what is the difference between this and the flesh?
So too, the relation of the biblical human author and that of the Divine author in inspiration. Is Philo's definition of inspiration adequate - that, the human author is like a flute played by the Almighty? Or is it more complex than that?
Now, lets posed a question. Is Church discipline remedial or condemnatory only. And in addition, who is judge - Dr Enns' accusors or Dr Enns himself? Do they understand properly or has Peter Enns failed to adequately convey his findings? If the latter, are they heretical and detrimental to the historic Christian faith and naive and innocent readers of this book?
Dr Enns was educated at both WTS and a certain bastion of liberal education. Is he a produce of his environment or simply a victim of both - misunderstood or ill understood by some?
The faith has not changed, hAPAX is hAPAX (cf Jd 3). But the understanding of its contents has divided Christendom (at any rate externally) for quite some time.
Finally, who determines meaning - the author or the interpreter. Was Origen correct with his four levels of meaning - somaticos, pneumaticos, psyxicos et cetera or is there simply a single intended meaning conveyed in a statement? Who knows - is it not God himself?
One can not divorce theology from academia, esp when it concerns the holy. TC is not a sterile, mechanical, merely historical and profane undertaking. There are consequences - both now and then.
Malcolm Anonymous asked:
"Is this an instance of a scholar/theologian deriving a doctrine of the Scriptures from the way the Scriptures are, instead of first filtering his statements through a creedal grid or lens?"
I don't think that is the situation here. I think that PE would affirm that 'the way the Scriptures are' (the phenomena of Scripture) must have some contribution to make in developing a doctrine of Scripture, and in supplementing the creedal inheritance, which emphasises the authority of divine voice of Scripture, but is silent (underdeveloped) on the humanity of Scripture.
I think where PE steps outside of 'normal' approaches is in extending this notion of "the phenomena of Scripture" beyond internal matters (use of OT in NT; synoptic parallels; diversity etc.) to external matters and issues of critical orthodoxy (the ANE setting of Gen 1-11 etc.).I haven't read Peter Enns' book either, but regarding the statements about NT TC, a few comments:
p. 50 ~ WH-1881/Revised version is described as "a revision involving the complete rejection of the Textus Receptus as late and unreliable."
It's nice to see such an honest, candid assessment of WH's work.
p. 51 ~ "Burgon's rejection of modern textual criticism" and "Burgon, in rejecting modern textual criticism . . ."
The author either seems to have misunderstood Metzger's statement, which itself presents a caricature of Burgon. Burgon did not reject modern textual criticism. He rejected Hort's fixation upon Aleph-B, Hort's theory of a Lucianic Recension, Hort's approach to "Non-Western Interpolations," etc., but anyone who sits down and reads Burgon's works can see, I believe, that underneath a mildly bombastic style there is a clear commitment to sound text-critical principles, canons, etc. Burgon was describing the "Orthodox Corruption" of Scripture while Hort was insisting that no variants were doctrinally induced. So who's the more "modern" text-critic in this respect?
p. 51 ~ "It seems as if Burgon, in rejecting modern textual criticism, was expressing the convictions of WCF 1.8."
It may seem so, but it does not have to be so. All that needs to happen for WCF 1.8 to be true is that the Scriptures used by the church be kept pure. The default meaning of this statement, written by men who surely were not ignorant of patristic statements (by Origen, Tertullian, Jerome, etc.) to the effect that some copies of Scripture had been altered by various individuals, is that the Scriptures used by the church have been kept /doctrinally/ pure. Not textually pristine. All that WCF 1.8 means is that the non-original variants casually adopted by the church have not detracted from or diminished the truth which emanated from the original text; nor have these variants introduced non-truth.
(The extra phrase in Acts 19:9 that appeared in the Geneva Bible (about the length of the daily lessons Paul gave) would be one example of this sort of benign accretion. So would harmonizations, generally speaking. But other passages might not be so easily accounted for, such as John 5:4.)
p. 51 ~ "Warfield concurred with modern textual criticism in its rejection of the longer ending" --
(I'd like to have a look at Warfield's entire article. Anyone have access to it? If Warfield discussed the external evidence in any detail, I suspect that I could find a few cracks in pedestal on which he set his conclusion that Mk. 16:9-20 is "no part of the word of God.") And thus Warfield departed not only from Justin, Irenaeus, Augustine, etc., but also from Calvin, Luther, the makers of the Geneva Bible, etc. The "paradigm shift" that the author posits on p. 51, as far as NT TC is concerned, rests on the premise that Mk. 16:9-20, and else that is rejected in the critical text(s) but accepted in the TR and Byzantine Text, are *impurities.* While many non-original Byzantine variants are, well, non-original, it is not so easy to find one that everyone at WTS would agree is doctrinally "impure."
Finally, I rather wish the author had not referred to *a position held by many modern text-critics* as if it is the opinion of "modern textual criticism" itself.
(Sorry this comment is so long. The WTS paper was a lot longer.)
Yours in Christ,
James Snapp, Jr.I found Carson's review of the book rather condescending, putting it down to "angry young man" syndrome. It struck me that the loudest critics were not OT Studies people.
Enns was trying to help poor Christian undergrads with a John MacArthur Study Bible in the one hand and the Gilgamesh Epic in the other to try and get a grip on it all. He was incredibly helpful, IMO.- Anonymous2:38 p.m., May 02, 2008
augustianian successor wrote:
"Erasmus deduced "free will" from Scripture and reason. Luther refuted Erasmus on the basis of Scripture and reason."
Yes, but in fact they spoke pass one another.
The **interrelatedness** of God as sovereign and man's own free moral responsibility are not inseparable in Scripture - anymore than any other doctrine taught therein.
Malcolm - Anonymous5:27 p.m., May 04, 2008
I must beg to differ with you on certain representations/interpretations you have made here regarding the significance of certain issues.
1. Dean J. Burgon in fact - in spite of his high level of erudition - rejected any and all advances made by TC scholars who departed from the textus receptus and the Authorized Version (KJV). His posture was one of defense, not progress.
2. Dean John Burgon in fact confounded Divine providential preservation of the autographa (as taught and understood by WCF). In no way should one limit this understanding by WCF to mere doctrinal homogenity among the biblical MSS. WCF affirms the full and verbal inspiration of these documents while concomittantly affirming the preservation of its original written form in its own inherent purity "through the ages." The phenomena of textual variants in fact validates this understanding expressed by the Westminster divines and the "textual pristineness" is safeguarded within all copies of biblical MSS (although with varying degree and reliability). This fact is substantiated both by the MSS themselves as well as the science of textual criticism.
Dean John Burgon failed to see and accept such a demarcation.
3. B.B. Warfield and others of like mind (modern text critics) have not failed to acquaint themslves with the patristic evidence, but do differ with persons like Dean John Burgon on its apprasial and significance (e.g., Justin Martyr, Irenaeus and Tatian's alledged early witness to Mk 16:9-20).
Malcolm - maurice a robinson2:43 a.m., May 05, 2008
Contrary to Malcolm's assertion, Burgon did not reject "any and all advances made by TC scholars who departed from the textus receptus and the Authorized Version (KJV)."
Even a cursory perusal of Burgon's works on NT textual criticism will show time and again Burgon arguing for a non-TR non-KJV reading, in almost every case supporting a reading found in the various current Majority Text or Byzantine Textform editions. - Anonymous11:12 p.m., May 05, 2008
Thanks Dr Robinson for the correcting clarification. I'll be sure in the future to differentiate between textus receptus, Majority., Byzantine and Koine as well as Ecclesiastical text etc.
Malcolm Knowledge gained from other disciplines should always inform theology. Who wouldn't jump at the chance to improve upon doctrinal formulations if they can be improved upon in light of biblical studies, for example?
Again, what would be the most exciting thing to happen to textual criticism? A new set of first century manuscripts being found in some place of geographic significance, I would imagine. The very text of scripture would have to be reconsidered in light of such a finding, I'm sure. That's the way all scholarship proceeds, isn't it?- Eric W2:52 a.m., May 08, 2008
I just realized that I have an unread copy of Enns' INSPIRATION AND INCARNATION (the book under discussion) that I bought on sale at Mardel who knows when. :)

It is widely recognized that the quality of trading environment has a significant impact on export competitiveness. The studies compiled in this publication analyse the relationship between trade facilitation and export competitiveness; analyse quantitatively and qualitatively the impact of trade costs on export; examine the status of export competitiveness in the region by using various indicators; and identify the effective ways of improving trading environment through trade and transport facilitation.
The principal aim of this publication is to fill a perceived gap in policy-related research and understanding of the development of the small and medium-sized enterprise (SME) sector in the Asia-Pacific region, in the context of a rapidly changing and mutating international business environment. To foster growing national economies, policymakers in virtually all countries are expected to facilitate the entry of new business ventures and to increase the competitiveness of SMEs.
Asia-Pacific Population Journal Volume 24 was released in 2009.
Since 1990, the Human Development Index has revolutionized discussions about human development. However, it suffers from two deficiencies, which can now be mitigated: geographic incompleteness and insufficiently "on-target" representation of economy, knowledge, and "a long and healthy life" at the level of the individual. This report summarizes attempts to rectify those deficiencies.
The Asia-Pacific Development Journal (APDJ) is published twice a year by the Macroeconomic Policy and Development Division of the United Nations Economic and Social Commission for Asia and the Pacific (ESCAP).
The primary objective of the APDJ is to provide a platform for the exchange of knowledge, experience, ideas, information and data on all aspects of economic and social development issues and concerns facing the region and to stimulate policy debate and assist in the formulation of policy.
The Asia-Pacific Trade and Investment Report is an annual publication prepared by staff of the Trade and Investment Division as a full in-house publication. The Report replaces the Asia-Pacific Trade and Investment Review with its first issue in 2009. The theme of APTIR 2009 is: "trade-led recovery and beyond". This issue analyses the impact of the global economic crisis on trade and investment flows in and to the region and implications for trade policy.
Life skills education, using the peer-to-peer approach, can effectively promote youth health and protect young people from HIV, drugs, sexual abuse and other threats.
The Global Economic and Financial Crisis: Regional Impacts, Responses and Solutions
This paper evaluates the potential contribution of both trade and business facilitation measures to trade and export competitiveness, as well as the potential gains from adopting a more integrated and coherent approach to trade and business (investment) facilitation. The analysis confirms that measures aimed at reducing the behind and at-the-border cost of exporting, such as reduction in customs and port fees and charges and improvement in transport infrastructure and logistics services can be expected to have a significant impact on trade.
This paper reviews the progress in trade-related areas of ASEAN Economic Community to be established by 2015. It provides empirical evidence and qualitative analysis on how the process of trade integration worked and what could have been done for it to have worked better. Where appropriate it elaborates on forces or institutions driving the process of integration. The paper uses descriptive statistics and some off-the-shelf indicators to track progress in trade integration which is the main pillar of building ASEAN Economic Community.

Collmenter leads D-backs in opener vs. Rockies
Colorado's Bergman takes mound on heels of first big league win
If the Rockies' or D-backs' seasons had gone even remotely close to plan, there's no chance Friday's pitching matchup would be what it is.
But with both clubs battling injuries and ineffectiveness, right-handers Christian Bergman and Josh Collmenter now find themselves with the chance to prove they belong in starting roles going forward.
Bergman wasn't even on the prospect radar to begin the season, but after proving an ability to pitch at altitude with Triple-A Colorado Springs, the Rockies called upon him when the injury bug bit.
Bergman registered quality starts in two of his first three Major League outings before catching a bad break himself in the form of a fractured non-pitching hand. Following a two-month layoff, Bergman made his return Sunday and registered his first win, lasting 6 1/3 innings while surrendering nine hits and four runs to the Marlins.
As for Collmenter, he found a niche in Arizona's bullpen the last two seasons but returned to the rotation this year when the D-backs needed a proven arm.
Although the right-hander hasn't been as effective in the rotation as he was during his rookie year in 2011, Collmenter has shown promise at times, no more so than last Friday against the Padres.
Collmenter was in line for his first career shutout and second complete game before running into trouble in the last frame. He finished with four hits and one unearned run allowed in 8 1/3 innings. He also tied his career-high with eight strikeouts while putting some of the concerns about his diminishing velocity to rest.
Rockies: Morneau deal not reached
The Rockies and Brewers almost found a way to send Justin Morneau back into a pennant race.
Jon Heyman of MLB Network reported Thursday that the clubs discussed a trade that would have sent Morneau to Milwaukee, but they ultimately couldn't reach an agreement. Milwaukee successfully claimed Morneau off waivers, but couldn't assemble the right pieces to convince Colorado.
Morneau is currently leading all NL players with a .314 batting average, and he's clubbed 14 home runs in 113 games for Colorado. The Brewers are playing veterans Mark Reynolds and Lyle Overbay at first base.
Morneau, a four-time All-Star and the 2006 AL Most Valuable Player Award winner, has regained his form after a few seasons affected by concussions. The veteran has played in the playoffs in three seasons, twice with Minnesota and last year with the Pirates after being acquired in August.
Morneau, 33, signed a two-year contract with the Rockies last December that includes a mutual option for 2016.
D-backs: Corbin not expected back until June 2015
D-backs manager Kirk Gibson said Tuesday he didn't expect Patrick Corbin to return from Tommy John surgery until June of next season, and on Wednesday, Corbin confirmed the news.
"I figured [I would] probably miss a month or so of next season," Corbin said.
Corbin underwent the operation on his left elbow in March. He'll begin his throwing program on Sept. 8.
Corbin was an All-Star last season while striking out 178 over 189 innings. He finished with a 14-8 record and a 3.41 ERA.
He is one of five D-backs pitchers currently working their way back from Tommy John surgery -- the others being Bronson Arroyo, Daniel Hudson, David Hernandez and Matt Reynolds.
Worth noting
• Left-hander Jorge De La Rosa (thumb) will make his next scheduled start, according to Rockies manager Walt Weiss. De La Rosa was forced from Tuesday's start early with the injury.
• In his return from his second Tommy John surgery, Hudson will make his second rehab start Friday with Triple-A Reno. He's expected to join Arizona shortly after that.

Wisconsin doesn't look to have a game plan offensively and Iowa is taking advantage defensively. Bricks all over the place. Surprised this Wisconsin team beat Illinois and Indiana in back to back weeks.

Mickey Mouse StudiesTrying to draw Mickey, some are really bad!
Loosening up. Studying Mickey's head.
Re: Mickey Mouse StudiesA tip of the hat to you! Mickey Mouse is a difficult character to draw. When I started out at hallmark cards I became the official Mickey Mouse artist for the non-greeting card division of the company. I designed a complete birthday party set with Mickey and Donald, Goofy Minnie and Daisy and Pluto. I was sent to Disney Studios in Burbank to take some private lessons with the late Carson Van Osten to get some specialized training. Helped a lot. I appreciate anyone who can draw Mickey well.
You're doing pretty good. Take your time and focus on each drawing a little more. The quality of your sketch is more important than how fast it can be done.
Re: Mickey Mouse StudiesThat is awesome Charles! I will do more for sure, here is more! I would love any feedback that will help me learn how to make them look on model.
Re: Mickey Mouse StudiesSweet Mickey drawings!!
Re: Mickey Mouse StudiesNice drawings Lavalle. What I see is that Mickey's proportions are a little off. The legs are a bit too long and it's making him look taller and longer than he really is. None the less these are improvements over the first batch. With more practice you'll be an expert Mickey Mouse artist.
Re: Mickey Mouse StudiesThanks Car t00n and Charles! Mickey is really hard.. I would love to become an expert or even be able to animate him!
Re: Mickey Mouse StudiesAm I allowed to double post? As long as it's new artwork?
Re: Mickey Mouse StudiesVery good Lavelle! Mickey is still reading as kind of lanky. In that regard he may be slightly off model and there's an issue with his nose. It's a bit too bulbous. The quality of your drawing is improving and it shows!
Re: Mickey Mouse Studies
Thanks Charles! Can you explain what you mean by lanky? Do you mean to tall and stretched out?
Re: Mickey Mouse StudiesYes, that's what I meant. He's appearing too tall and skinny. One of the methods to drawing any character with consistency is staying on model. Mickey Mouse is somewhere around 2 1/2 heads tall. You were drawing him at least 3 heads tall and maybe more in some of the sketches. Also look at the ears in relation to the head and his nose/snout as well.
With each posting you're getting better. Watch the way you're drawing the hands. Give this area the same attention as you would everything else. In the cowboy/lasso drawing check his arms. One is longer than the other. Same with the legs.
Re: Mickey Mouse StudiesHey, i like your mickey mouse drawing's especially as they are rough, you've got the character and expressions,
Re: Mickey Mouse StudiesThanks Zey! Many more to come and a surprise!
Thank you for the advice on 2 1/2 heads tall, I now make sure I think of that. I need to practice hands and feet a lot more, they are my worst subjects.. I was wondering if i/we could see some of your Mickey's you have done, I would love to see them & learn from them!
Re: Mickey Mouse StudiesThat's cool! You're animating Mickey Mouse! In the video his ears are set a little too forward on top of his head. Move them back a bit more and he'll be closer to model. Nice work Lavelle!
The Mickey Mouse stuff I did is from the very beginning of my career. I think I've got a birthday set around somewhere. It's very rare and a collector's item that was produced by Hallmark Cards. When I find it I'll can of shoot some photos and show you.
Re: Mickey Mouse StudiesYa, the ears are a little off, but still, really job on the animation. Hope to see more Mickey anim's soon!
Re: Mickey Mouse Studies
Thanks Cart00n, I might make another
Thanks Charles, I will work on the ears. Mickey was really fun to animate but I still feel, I am missing the illusion of life. I hope to see some of your Mickeys some day Oh, remember my name is spelt Lavalle! lol Here is some more Mickey Study
Re: Mickey Mouse StudiesThe reason why I tend to mistype your name is because of a friend. His name is Lavelle and I'm afraid it's become force of habit. Sorry about that Lavalle, I'll make it a point to correctly address you from here on out.
Re: Mickey Mouse Studies
No worries Charles. One day everyone will know how to spell my name.
Re: Mickey Mouse StudiesI tried a Mickey and Minnie together
Re: Mickey Mouse StudiesHere is another Mickey study

In the anime, he appeared in the animated trailer for Pokémon Black and White Versions 2 with Hugh. He visited Bianca and got Tepig, accompanied by Hugh with his hatched Oshawott. He and his Lucario later appeared where Colress told him that he didn't believe that Team Plasma should seperate Pokemon from humans. He later entered the Pokémon World Tournament and battled Elesa, where his Tepig had evolved into an Emboar at the time. She used her Emolga and Zebstrika, but the winner was unclear.
Later, he was on a boat with Cheren and Hugh when Team Plasma attacked. He used his Arcanine against their Seviper and won, and he and Lucario later battled the Shadow Triad. However, although they won, they escaped.
- If Rosa is chosen in B2W2, the player can encounter Nate in front of the Battle Subway in Nimbasa City, where he will ask the player to tag battle with him to defeat the two Subway Masters.

Best Uses
Comments about Water Brooms:
The idea is great, and would work much better than a rotary floor scrubber in a large area, since you can push the water and not end up with a puddle.The execution isn't stellar though. The product is just one step above home fabricated. The nozzles plug very easily and are exceptionally small, so are very difficult to clean. In fact, the smallest wire on my torch cleaners was too big to use. Cleaning them is compounded by the fact that they are very hard to remove without breaking.For the cost of assembly, I might try to make my own out of pipe fittings and pressure washer nozzles, would save a few bucks and be more usable.Definitely get the version of this product with more nozzles, as you can use it longer- while some sprays are clogged, the others still work.

'Eat More Kale' gets preliminary 'no'Toby Talbot / AP Photo
Bo Muller-Moore holds a stencil used to make shirts Monday in Montpelier. He built a T-shirt business around the phrase "Eat more kale" and is in a legal fight with the fast food giant Chick-fil-A to protect the saying.MONTPELIER — The Montpelier artist who built a T-shirt business around the term "Eat More Kale" said Monday the U.S. Trademark and Patent office has given him a "preliminary no" in his legal fight to protect the term that sparked a legal battle with the Chick-fil-A restaurant chain.
But artist Bo Muller-Moore said he has six months to respond to the ruling.
Muller-Moore said he had expected to learn more Monday about his ongoing fight to trademark the phrase, which also appears on round stickers that adorn many cars in Vermont.
The fast food giant Chick-fil-A objected to his efforts in the fall of 2011 because the company said the words could be confused with its trademarked slogan "Eat Mor Chikin."
The company also requested that Muller-Moore stop printing his three words on T-shirts and stickers.
The company has deep pockets for the fight. In 2010, Chick-fil-A reported more than $3.5 billion in gross sales. As of 2011, it had more than 1,300 stores in 39 states.
Muller-Moore built his business from his artist studio in an old garage behind his slate-roofed Victorian home in Montpelier. He first traced the distinctive font used for the phrase — based on outlines of his own fingers — in 2000 after a farmer friend asked him to silkscreen a pair of shirts with the now-famous words.
The legal battle for the phrase prompted Vermont Gov. Peter Shumlin to say in December 2011 the state would do all it could to help Muller-Moore in his battle with Chick-fil-A.
Muller-Moore's attorney Daniel Richardson, of Montpelier, said an official with the Trademark and Patent office thought the two phrases could be confused.
Chick-fil-A did not respond Monday to an emailed request for comment.
In a statement issued in late 2011, Chick-fil-A said it became aware of "Eat More Kale" T-shirts in 2006 and it had co-existed since, but that had to change after the Vermont company submitted the application to trademark its slogan.
"We support the entrepreneurial spirit of small business," said the 2011 statement issued by Chick-fil-A spokesman Don Perry. "Unfortunately, when protecting our trademark, the law does not allow us to differentiate between a large company or a small enterprise... we must legally protect and defend our "Eat Mor Chikin" trademarks in order to maintain rights to the slogan. It is not uncommon for us — or for any corporation to defend our trademark rights."
Muller-Moore says he needs the trademark to protect against knockoffs himself. No fewer than nine T-shirt makers, he said a couple of years ago, have already tried to replicate his design.
"I need to protect my design, because it's really pretty easy," he said then. "A monkey could do it."MORE IN Vermont NewsThree professors in the University of Vermont Extension program are losing their positions next...

As a young surgeon, Peter Attia felt contempt for a patient with diabetes. She was overweight, he thought, and thus responsible for the fact that she needed a foot amputation. But years later, Attia received an unpleasant medical surprise that led him to wonder: is our understanding of diabetes right? Could the precursors to diabetes cause obesity, and not the other way around? A look at how assumptions may be leading us to wage the wrong medical war.

Very nice summary, thank you.
I've been using Reiser4 since it first hit -mm series. While it really IS
very fast (no FS untars a kernel tarball faster), it has two major flaws:
1. it maintains too large in-memory caches. When it decides to write its
huge caches back to disk, my system gets unresponsive for ~5secs (even
mouse cursor freezes sometimes).
EDIT: this is also a problem with sudden power loss. I lost *LOTS* of files
on reiser4 partitions this way.
2. it does not reserve a tiny amount of diskspace for "emergency" use when
the disk gets full. This is especially annoying if you use it as rootfs:
disk gets full and you can't launch any apps (not even rm!, heck I can't
even shut the machine down properly).

How to install a water butt
Not only is rainwater free but it's better for plants than tap water as it contains more nutrients. Also, unlike hard mains water, rainwater won't leave limescale deposits or increase the alkalinity of the soil.
The best way to collect it is in a water butt connected to a downpipe. If you put it on a stand, you'll be able to fill a watering can straight from its tap. If you have a big garden, you can connect two butts to a single downpipe by using a flexible hose link kit. Water butts do more than provide water for your plants, some can even be attached to pressure washers.
Buying guides
