Henry To Pull the SCCA Championship Tripleheader
LINCOLN, Neb. (Sept. 6, 2012) – Sports Car Club of America members generally focus on one discipline—rally, road racing or Solo. Sam Henry is proof positive that one doesn't need to be typecast, as he will tackle the Tire Rack SCCA Solo® National Championships, the SCCA National Championship Runoffs® and the SCCA RallyCross® National Championships over the next month.
Henry, of Republic, Mo., started racing in motocross, but after sustaining a number of injuries, subscribed to the old saying "with age, comes a cage." He got his SCCA start in the Solo program with his brother, Martin, and competed in three-straight Nationals from 2000-2002. He moved to road racing thereafter, competing in American Sedan before moving to Spec Miata.
"Spec Miata is some of the best racing in the Club," Henry said. "But the engineer in me wanted to get into something that I could tinker with a little bit more, which led to F Production.
"My main focus is the F Production road race car, but I ended up buying so many donor and parts cars to keep that car running that I ended up with a couple of spare chassis and some extra go-fast parts. The first car that I put together was kind of a bottom-of-the-barrel build, and that became the RallyCross car. It makes an absolutely perfect car for that sport."
Despite his recent experience on pavement, it was in RallyCross that he earned his first National Championship in 2011, perhaps drawing from his previous experience racing on dirt with two wheels.
"I didn't expect the Miata to do that well in RallyCross, but it actually did very well. It's a very lightweight car with independent suspension. That was last year.
"This year, I still had a bunch of parts on the shelf and an extra set of F Production bodywork. I figured I'd cut the lid off another car, put the bodywork on and go try Solo in D Prepared with it. I'm still developing the car, but I'm having a lot of fun with it."
Henry's goals this year are lofty, but attainable given his previous success.
"My goal is to trophy in all three events," he said. "At the Runoffs [where he finished less than a tenth of a second off the podium in 2011], I really think FP is really deep this year, with eight or nine drivers that can win the thing. Getting in the trophies there would be a real honor.
"I'd like to get a trophy here in DP, but it may be a little bit early. I still have a lot of development to do with the car. And in the RallyCross, I'm shooting for the win."
Henry was fifth after first-day runs in his Springfield Dyno/Goodyear/SafeRacer Mazda Miata, one position out of the trophies. He is co-driving with his father, Lester, who is making his first-ever run at the Tire Rack SCCA Solo National Championships.
"This car is really new," he said. "I ran a couple of local events and the Tour at Blytheville, but there's still a lot of development to do."
Henry will be the second driver to run the triple in the same year. SportsCar Magazine editor Philip Royle did the feat in 2010.
Henry finished his Club Racing season up in grand fashion, scoring seven wins to reach the maximum allowed 84 in the Midwest Division. His F Production race will take place Sunday, Sept. 23 at Road America.
The RallyCross National Championship will run Oct. 5-7 at Tulsa Raceway Park, Tulsa, Okla.
The 40th Tire Rack SCCA Solo National Championships are running through Friday at the Lincoln (Neb.) Airpark.

This Research Experiences for Undergraduates (REU) site is a nine-week
summer program on DSU campus, sponsored by the National Science
Foundation. The goal is to offer motivated undergraduate students from
DSU and other institutions across the nation with a competitive research
experience in information assurance and security (IAS). The summer 2012 program will host nine students
(five to six from other institutions) to conduct research with active
and experienced research faculty. Through the research experiences, students will
improve their ability to formulate and solve a research problem, and increase their
communication proficiency in both a scientific and community context. Each student
will receive a total stipend of $4,320, reimbursement
of the travel expenses for a round-trip from their home school to DSU, paid housing
and meals, and a paid community center (gymnasium facility) pass.
The nine-week summer program is scheduled as follows: In the first two weeks, students
will focus on developing projects. Tutorials and workshops will be held to help
students establish necessary background knowledge and learn about how to conduct
scientific research. Students will also work with their mentors, read literature,
and design their projects. From week 3 through week 8, students will carry out their
projects under the supervision of their mentors. They will also attend the weekly
seminars by faculty and invited industry speakers and report their weekly progress.
In the last week, students will prepare a written report in the format of a scientific
paper and an oral presentation modeled after a scientific meeting. Several field
trips to local industry and social events will be scheduled throughout the summer
IAS involves policies, procedures, methods, and techniques that protect and defend
information and information systems by ensuring availability, integrity, authentication,
confidentiality and non-repudiation. Presidential Decision Directive 63, issued
in 1998, identified the security and assurance of our nation's information and communications
infrastructure as a national priority.
Information assurance and security also has a far-reaching impact on our daily life.
Securing the sensitive business and personal data across the untrustworthy Internet
environment is of paramount importance yet remains a critical challenge. Today,
an increasing number of people rely on the Internet and even mobile devices to manage
their financial activities. The threat to online banking, however, is even greater
- as the money is stored on and moved around the Internet, the intelligent criminal
would migrate from the physical crime to the less dangerous options available online.
In 2008, for example, Falk et al. examined the web sites of 214 U.S. financial institutions
and found that 76% of them suffered from at least one design flaw.
DSU is a national Center of Academic Excellence (CAE) in Information Assurance
Education, with a focus area in banking and finance. DSU is designated by both the
National Security Agency and the Department of Homeland Security as meeting the
rigorous requirements to become a national center. DSU offers
undergraduate and graduate information assurance degrees, bringing both
depth and breadth in its information assurance curriculum. In the past
five years, DSU has been awarded grants from NSF,
the Department of Education, DoD, NASA, the State of South Dakota, and several other
regional funding sources for information assurance research and education. In January
2009, DSU established the National Center for the Protection of the Financial Infrastructure
through a $2M grant from the State of South Dakota, in partnership with Citibank,
Wells Fargo, First Premier, the Federal Reserve, FDIC and the Department of Homeland

Sounds like you hang out with some classy dames.
I also like how you prefaced this blurb with "I'm a frat guy". It kind of made sense from thereon out.
Thread: Female's Perspective
Ok, so, not to brag or anything but I'm a college frat guy who knows a lot of girls (young and old) and I've been doing a statistical experiment for a college class to see which scents women prefer. I've just started today even though it's due next week but here is the analysis for right now with one category COMPLETELY dominating!
Fresh: 31
Gourmand: 5
Citrus: 8
Powdery: 2
Floral: 5
Aquatic: 9
These are the seix main categories that I used for the experiment as I grouped a lot of the subcategories together for example I explained to the girls that Fresh was like vetiver(grassy), woodsy, etc
Gourmands were just sweet based fragrances minus citrus that was its own category.
Powdery was its own category cause I believe it to be unique. Aquatic, I guess is the same thing as fresh although it's more spring/summer based and is usually but no always combined with a citrusy background
So, this is just the beginning after one night. If you guys are interested, I'll keep the thread updated until I turn in my project and possibly after if there is enough interest.
Let me have your thoughts and personal experiences.
My personal opinion: I honestly thought more girls would be into smelling gourmands. I figured it was sexy and they would love to just eat my neck off. However, that is not the case as gourmands is second to last currently. Again, I figured more mature women would be into fresh/masculine scents but college girls and some younger as well are more into fresh scents...surprising, for me at least
I also thought citrus would be a lot higher since I get a lot of compliments during summer when I wear aquatics and citrus based substances.
This really hott girl called me about 30 minutes ago and she's complaining how she's stuck in traffic blah blah and I wasn't really paying attention to anything else she said but then I remembered I should ask her what her opinion was on fragrances and what her favorite scent was. I've hooked up with her before, but I was completely shocked at what I heard, to be honest:
She said, "I think it's really important for guys to wear colognes. When I smell a guy and he smells really good, it makes me want to have sex with him even if he's not attractive or anything"--She's a very mature 19 year old so I wasn't surprised when she said fresh scents were her favorite. She tried to describe a particular scent that she likes the most and from what I got out of it...it was Acqua Di Gio--go figure lol
I had a good laugh and responded: "that's why I wear colognes besides it being a hobby. Not all women are going to find me attractive as some girls like blonde and light skinned guys while I resemble a typical European. However, if she gets a good whiff of that La Nuit De l'homme and she has a sweet tooth for gourmands, then I have her attention immediately and let my charisma take over"
Not word for word obviously but pretty much and she had a good laugh and said soooo true
So, there you have it guys feedback would be nice

enjoyed the post. good info.
Also enjoyed the post from the OP.
Ok, this is really insane. So, I'm getting more input from girls and it's more fresh fragrances that are dominating. I've updated the statistics for now.
Again, it's not all college girls. I've asked girls on facebook as well so mothers and more mature women have responded.
The majority seem to agree that for men: Fresh is the best
For women: The majority seem to like citrus based fragrances the most.
The girls that have chosen gourmands I've noticed are all the extremely naughty girls. The girls that tend to put out on first dates or at parties after a few drinks. Or for older women, the cougars.
This might be just a coincidence but it's something i'll def keep in mind when I write my conclusion/discussion.
I'm glad I chose this topic
Are you not entertained??? Is this not why you are here??
Now that I think about it..look back at all the most complimented colognes, a lot of them are fresh based like Issey Miyake, Bleu de Chanel, Acqua di Gio, Polos, Creeds (majority are fresh and oriental/earthy based).
I wonder if it's a chemical/biological thing in females. Where does this arousing stimulation derive from when they smell fresh fragrances. Hmmmm
Idk whether to believe this La Nuit by YSL hype any more. I love the fragrance. A lot of BNers love the fragrance. It's my favorite in my collection and many claim that girls love it. However, in my personal experience, girls refute it. It makes them nauseous and is too strong.
Let me begin by saying welcome to fragrance_Extraordinaire. Interesting thread you have started. I am not at all surprised by the fact that most of the women you have interviewed go for the fresh scents. My lady has always said the same thing to me as have her sisters. My lady says that a clean, fresh scent such as a vetiver scent, is what a man should smell like. So I guess you are definitely on the right path with your assignment. Please keep us posted here on your further research. It is interesting. Thank you for the thread.
Thanks for the statistical study, but as I don't dress for girls, nor let my mum or girlfriend dress me, I'm not really interested having them pick my scents for me or choosing scents in the hope that it will please or attract them. Maybe that's because I didn't get into scents until I was well into my thirties and engaged.
The spread is pretty much what I'd expect. I would be interested in seeing how it plays out across a broader sample of the female population, both in terms of age and socioeconomic. I'd also be interested in seeing how that compares to the fragrance community, but I think all sides of the fragrance community seem to be interested in smelling how they want to smell rather than caring too much about how they want others to smell or perceive them (although a compliment is always appreciated)
No problem and thanks for your input.
If you guys have any other ideas on how to improve my experiment, let me know
I'll quote what most of the girls have told me: "A fresh, clean, musky-esque type of smell is what I like"
That's the general view
- - - Updated - - -
However, I'm that guy that likes to stand out in big crowds and not play it safe. I personally don't care what the majority people think. I'll wear what I like and the people that enjoy it, good for them
This is why I wear La Nuit by YSL everywhere I go :-p
As the sampling seems to be mostly college women and presumably young, the preference for fresh scents comes as no surprise. That is what men their own age wear.
It's a matter of what they are accustomed to.
Then again, if you took a sampling of older female professionals in, say, their 40s, you'd get a different result.
"No elegance is possible without it...perfume is a part of you." Gabrielle "Coco" Chanel
However, i'd say that about 30% of my survey is from older and more mature women and the majority of them also said fresh scents. My mom and sister also agree as well as all my aunts and their daughters. My mom's friend who is 70 said fresh with a citrus base. However, on a wider scale, I agree there should be a nation wide experiment done. Unfortunately, I don't think I can conduct such a thing but I think a fragrance company should invest in such a thing. If what is stated in my experiment is true, that women like fresh scents, I think the market would have a shift in offering more fresh scent based substances.
I'd agree with this. I liked (didn't love) Nuit, but my wife had no interest at all. Easily her least favorite YSL frag I've tried so far.
Meanwhile...I'm not your friend, jackass!! *Love this scene/movie...I read that most of the lines those two delivered in the movie were ad libbed*

I thought I'd add another comment from this cute girl on her view:
"On a guy, love the fresh smell!!!! Woodsy for sure, or clean smell. And girls or myself definitely fruitsy or floral. NEVER gourmands, yuck!"
-_- unbelievable
My favorite, gourmands, being ridiculed endlessly
I'm not surprised. Girls like to eat sweets, not smell them.
Fresh scents and woody scents are what always get attention.
Boss Bottled and YSL L'Homme are really loved. Maybe it's my skin, but they just smell great. That's why I have 2 100ml's of Boss and about 150ml of L'Homme
Nobody on earth except for us weirdos on basenotes would give a shit, or know what gourmands are in the first place, so that seems to skew the stats a little bit. Are you sampling scents when conducting this?
Because all this really tells me - is what women are used to. Nothing more.
There's no doubt in my mind many women would find something like DHI or Original Santal or New Haarlem far more sexy than something like Acqua di Gio. They simply just don't experience gourmands. If you describe it as "sweet smells," and they don't have much base for that, they'll just think of bubblegum or something, and be turned off. What woman is going to say "ooh I love a man to smell powdery." Very few. But put on some Midnight In Paris, and they'll have no idea that what they're smelling is "powdery."
There are certainly fresh scents that drive women wild (Aventus on line 2), but to me, this study yields far from conclusive evidence of any kind. This post is not at all meant in negative light toward the original poster, not in the least. I appreciate what you've gathered. I just think if you collected multiple heavy hitters from each genre, they results would be far more even.

That's a key factor (or flaw whichever way you view it) in my experiment. Unfortunately, I can't get all these girls to come experiment my collection of the various scents of fragrance realm, so I just base it off of what they enjoy smelling.
But you're right. I explained to one girl what Tobacco Vanille smelled like and she said eww Tobacco and Vanilla together? Gross. However, if she actually got around to smelling the well blended fragrance, I don't think she would go ewww. I think she might say it smells nice but not on a man. So, yeah, definitely see where you're coming from and something i'll mention in my conclusion,
- - - Updated - - -
I would love to do an in person experiment some day. Go to different parts of the city (rather large city) I live in and conduct experiments from various age groups, ethnicities, wealthy/poor etc. For ex: People from school, downtown (business people), and so on and have them each sample a popular fragrance from each genre and choose the best smelling
That could be a rebuttal to my argument that I present in favor of females preferring fresh scents
Let me guess, you questioned these women at a Dave Matthews Band concert?
Unless these women actually smelled the fragrances, I'm not sure how much you can rely on these results. I suspect that they'd have trouble truly understanding the categories.
"Fresh" is a familiar word and sounds good; not as many people have the same everyday familiarity with the word "gourmand".
"Powdery" sounds awful, but many musks are powdery; if you'd said "musk" I suspect the results on that one would have been different.
People don't think of men wearing flowers, but they also probably don't recognize the floral notes in many fragrances.
Not all gourmands are sweet; not all sweet fragrances are gourmands. The average person would probably interpret vetiver as citrus rather than grassy.
I definitely wouldn't put woody or oriental fragrances in "Fresh". You seem to be equating "fresh" with "masculine", and I don't see that at all. Also, incense and animalic notes have been left out altogether. Leather, smoke civet, ambergris, indoles....left out altogether. That's a huge group of perfumes ignored.
I think that the experiment would have more value if the women actually smelled something. You can't tote a briefcase full of bottles around with you, but you could get a little bit of an idea with, say, scent-dampened cotton balls in baggies.
I might go to the mall tomorrow and get a bunch of test strips and put various fragrances on there and start asking girls at the mall to smell it and then monday go downtown and wednesday at school to round it off.
I might even throw a wild card female marketed fragrance in there and see if any girls would choose it for their man. It would be interesting.
- - - Updated - - -
Cause his concert was...fresh?
I get your joke ;b
Welcome to basenotes.
I think your "fresh" category is misleading as I would classify vetiver as "green" or "woodsy."
When I think "fresh," and I don't think I'm alone, I think of your "aquatic" and "citrus" category.
Also- I'm not your friend, chum!
- - - Updated - - -
I don't have a signature fragrance. My signature changes a little bit every day, why shouldn't my fragrance?
Just my take on this -
Gourmand = food = fit for eating
Vanilla = baby = mother love
Fresh = sexy on a man
Aquatic = sexy on a man
Musk = eeek
There are no answers, only choices. (Stanislav Lem)
'Easy' girls don't really need excuses. Wear whatever you like.
But, when you add a fresh cologne, it is reminiscent of a guy stepping out from the ocean water, muscular and tingling with drops of water, under the sun ...
Again, that is just me.

"When you're all alone, when no one is watching, and there's no one around to impress, that is who you are" - Greg Laurie
Not surprised at all by these results, flawed survey or not. Most women I know HATE gourmands. I do too. I don't think there's anything even remotely sexy about smelling like a bakery or a chocolate bar. Just... no. That and really loud fragrances, which the mainstream gourmands often are, are usually no-gos with women. Or people in general.
Where I live, A*Men = the smell of douchebags.
What is the difference between 'fresh' and 'citrus' or 'aquatic'. Acqua di Gio is certainly a "fresh" and "aquatic" scent, same goes for Bleu de Chanel. Something like Allure Homme Sport is a 'fresh' and 'citrus' scent. Most citrus and aquatic scents are fresh, so I don't understand your definition of fresh.
I think it would be a great idea to try out some tester samples in a public environment.
However I do agree that you need to refine your categories a little.
1. Fresh seems to be too broad and too encompassing.
2. Naming the categories leads to positive or negative associations according to the wording used - who isn't going to agree with the statement that they like fresh smelling fragrances?
3. You need to include smoke and leather and, I would suggest, wood as separate categories as a minimum.
Finally it would be fascinating to throw in some wild card female-marketed fragrances to see how women responded. If you'd like some suggestions, why not check out the thread 'what female fragrances are even deadlier on the male? - people have been suggesting literally hundreds over the last 10 days.
Happy experimenting.
Here is what you need to do. Not sure if you've seen Street Scents on Youtube, but same idea:
Spray some fragrances on test strips (or just cut some index cards). Make sure to have 3 sample strips (so 3 fragrances) for each category for a total of 18 strips. Go to a big party and tell girls that these are what fresh smells like, what gourmand smells like, etc. and have them smell the strips so they get the idea. It's best to use fragrances that are popular and that girls are already familiar with. Ask them which category they like the best:
I would go with these ones:
Fresh: Cool Water, Terre D`Hermes, A&F Fierce
Gourmand: La Nuit, 1 Million, A*Men
Powdery: Le Male, Armani Code, Allure Homme
Citrus: Allure Homme Sport, Versace Pour Homme, D&G Pour Homme (current formulation)
Floral: Leau Dissey Pour Homme, Rive Gauche, Mugler Cologne
Aquatic: Acqua Di Gio, Bleu De Chanel, Versace Man Eau Fraiche
Seriously, though, I do believe it's true for the most part that women tend to prefer "fresher", lighter/cleaner scents on men. However, I do think a lot depends on the environment, social setting and simply how it actually smells on an individual vs. the general smell on a test strip. For example, while generally someone may say that they "hate" gourmands, I'm willing to be if an attractive, classy guy, dressed sharply on a cool or cold evening, walked by wearing a light application of something like Tobacco Vanille, LIDGE, New Haarlem, or heck, even A*Men, they would just think he smells nice and not think twice whether or not it's a "fresh" scent or "gourmand". Just a thought...
Even though I sometimes feel like drinking eau sauvage, I love some Sweet ambery spice on a man, and for flowers, coffe, you name it, I say go. Standing out of the crowd is hot!

VIRGINIA BEACH-- A Chesapeake sherrif's deputy, who is the son of Va. Beach Sheriff Ken Stolle, was acqutted this week of a driving under the influence charge.
A special retired General District Court judge heard the case.
The judge found Kenneth W. Stolle Jr., 27, not guilty of drunken driving, but convicted him of misdemeanor hit-and-run and fined him $250.
The charges were brought after a rear-end collision on Virginia Beach Boulevard the night of Nov. 14th.
Stolle is the son of Virginia Beach Sheriff Ken Stolle and the nephew of Virginia Beach Chief Deputy Commonwealth's Attorney Colin Stolle.
An attorney from the Norfolk Commonwealth's Attorney's Office prosecuted it, to avoid a conflict of interest.
Stolle's insurance covered the damage to the other driver's vehicle, which was less than $500, said Amanda Howie, a spokeswoman for the Norfolk Commonwealth's Attorney's Office,

Draft Status: With the inclusion of so many 3-4 base defenses in recent years, a player like Cody who could be dominant as a 2 down nose tackle will make him almost certainly a first round pick. He won't gain a lot of momentum in the offseason because he's not going to impress anyone in shorts. Trust me. But when you figure in Suh and McCoy will be gone in the top ten, Cody is almost certainly a mid to late first round pick. The Jets, Niners, and Chargers will all be picking in that same area and all could need a new NT.
Final Analysis: When Cody is on and motivated he's a crusher. He can just walk the pocket back into the backfield on a quarterback, plug multiple running lanes, and just generally beat down offensive linemen. But he's massive, and a little bit on the tall side if that's possible, so when his conditioning or effort waiver, you see it in poor posture and leverage, and he gets out played by guys who never should. He might be better off playing at off playing at a weight of around 340 rather than 365, and being able to be on the field for more snaps, where that power and disruption can be put to better use.
Reminds me of: Shaun Rogers, DT Cleveland Browns-Watch Rogers play, and see the highs and lows he and Browns fans go through, and you can picture Cody doing the same things. When they are going strong, they are impossible to block, and even harder to avoid. When they are gassed or just not feeling 100 percent effort, they are just another body on the field. Cody has a chance to be an instant impact type of player for a 3-4 team, if he can maintain his conditioning and attitude, because physically he's simply overpowering.

Non-Tip Final Release
A final release is prepared and published when FIXME
If you want a checklist you can mark off as you go, cut-n-paste these contents.
- Assumed Setup
- Check Out Branch
- Edit Configuration Files
- Update Release Values
- Confirm Users' Guide is OK
- Commit Branch
- Run Regression Tests
- Build Candidate Packages
- Test Candidate Packages
- Tag the Release
- Archive Candidate Packages
- Update SourceForge
- Update scons.org
- Update the scons.org Web Site
- Update Tigris.org
- Announce
Assumed Setup
These initializations are the conventions that will be used in the rest of this flow.
The location of the SCons SVN archive:
$ export HG=https://bitbucket.org/scons/scons
The version string, which should look something like this:
$ VERSION=3.2.1.final.0
Check Out Branch
From within your base directory, execute this command:
$ svn co $SVN/branches/3.2.x working $ cd working
Edit Configuration Files
Update Release Values
Verify that the release_level variable in ReleaseConfig is being set to 'final'.
$ python bin/update-release-info.py release
The ReleaseConfig file is where the "official" version number ($VERSION), the Python version floors, and other information about the release is recorded. This command takes the information in ReleaseConfig and inserts it in the necessary files.
Confirm Users' Guide is OK
CAUTION: Only try this step if you have the toolchain for building the documentation. The packages needed are discussed in DeveloperGuide/Documentation. It's quite a list.
The following steps verify that the user guide sources (some of which are generated from other files) are up to date.
FIXME (This will probably be reworked to be part of the build step.)
$ python bin/scons-doc.py --diff $ python bin/scons-doc.py --update
Commit Branch
Create log.file ... FIXME
$ svn commit -F log.file Sending some/file Sending some/other/file Transmitting file data .. Committed revision 54321. $
Run Regression Tests
The SCons BuildBot will usually be monitoring this branch, so all you have to do is wait until the BuildBot display for the commit from the previous step shows that all the regression tests have been run. On the other hand, if you're feeling bored, you can run the regression tests while you're waiting...
To run the tests, simply execute this command:
$ python runtest.py -a
If the regression tests fail, fix the problem in the branch following your usual development practices and start the flow again.
Build Candidate Packages
Provided you have all of the necessary utilities installed, this should be a simple matter of:
$ rm -rf build $ python bootstrap.py
Test Candidate Packages
The build step above not only builds the packages but also unpacks all of them into subdirectories so that you can run the test suite against the packaged goods. This is intended to catch packaging problems such as not adding a new module to the packaging MANIFEST list(s). The runtest.py script supports a -p option and arguments that run the SCons tests against the different unpacked directories.
Edit the script to include the tests you want to include. If you want to be complete, test all of the packages.
To be quicker but still reasonably thorough, test tar-gz and zip, one each of local- and src- (probably do -tar-gz for one and -zip for the other), and rpm.
For a quick-n-dirty test, just test tar-gz or zip, and maybe rpm. Since all of the different packages use the same lists as input, it's pretty unlikely that the tests will pass on one package and fail for another.
If any of the candidate packages fail, fix the problem in the branch following your usual development practices and start the flow again.
Tag the Release
Verify that you have SVN and VERSION in your shell environment as described in the setup section above, then run this command:
$ svn cp . $SVN/tags/$VERSION -m"Tagging $VERSION"
Archive Candidate Packages
Verify that you have SVN and VERSION in your shell environment as described in the setup section above, then run the bin/FillMeIn script:
set -e # stop on error rm -rf ARCHIVE svn co --depth=files $SVN/ARCHIVE mkdir ARCHIVE/scons-$VERSION cp build/dist/* ARCHIVE/scons-$VERSION svn add ARCHIVE/scons-$VERSION svn commit -m"Saving copy of $VERSION in archive" ARCHIVE rm -rf ARCHIVE
Update SourceForge
Upload packages
Verify that you have SVN and VERSION in your shell environment as described in the setup section above, then run the bin/scp-sourceforge script:
$ sh bin/scp-sourceforge sf_username
Mark packages with release notes
Navigate to the SourceForge File Manager page for SCons. If you're reading this from a printed copy rather than the wiki page and can't click on the link, follow these instructions:
Log in to your SourceForge account
Click on Develop just under Forge in the SourceForge banner.
Under My Projects, click on Develop next to the SCons project.
Click on Project Admin -> File Manager
Open the scons, scons-src, and scons-local directories. Within each one, open the $VERSION folder. In the scons/$VERSION directory, select the RELEASE.txt file and mark mark it as the release notes in the popup that appears, then save.
If this is a final release of the production branch, select scons-$VERSION.win32.exe and mark it as the default selection for Windows, then select scons-$VERSION.tar.gz and mark it as the default for all other OSes.
In turn, select each of the files (other than the release notes file itself, which is automatically set) in all three folders (and the folders themselves) and specify that RELEASE.txt is to be the release note for that file. Because of the way the page refreshes after clicking Save, it seems to be easier to start at the bottom and work your way up.
FIXME: TEST THIS: You can do multiple releases quickly by opening the File Manager page multiple times in a separate tabs, but if you do, make sure to wait for the page to reload completely in one tab before clicking Save in another. Trying to update multiple releases at once doesn't work, presumably because the session can only handle one update at a time.
Hide previous releases
- For a checkpoint release, hide all checkpoints in the same series that are older than this checkpoint.
- For a minor or micro release, hide all the checkpoint releases leading up to this release.
- For a major release, hide all the checkpoint releases leading up this release AND hide all major and minor releases older than this release.
For each release name you wish to hide, you have to do the following in scons, scons-local, and scons-src:
Click on the gear icon to the left of the package name and select Cut from the popup.
Click on the gear icon to the left of old checkpoints and select Paste from the popup.
Test downloading
Navigate to the SCons download page. If you're reading this from a printed copy rather than the wiki page and can't click on the link, follow these instructions:
FIXME Add instructions if can't click.
For each of the scons, scons-src, and scons-local directories:
- Open the directory.
- Open the $VERSION folder within the directory.
- For each package in the folder, click on the link to download it.
- Verify that the files arrived and look reasonable.
Add news item
Navigate to the Project News page. If you're reading this from a printed copy rather than the wiki page and can't click on the link, follow these instructions:
FIXME These aren't complete.
Go to the Project Admin -> Feature Settings page
In Project News, click Submit.
Once you get to the Project News page:
Fill in the Subject: box with something like "Release $VERSION now available"
Cut-and-paste the blurb you prepared above into the Details: box
Click Submit
Update scons.org
Update the scons.org Web Site
Apply changes to web site
Commit the changes you prepared above:
$ svn commit -m"Changes to publish the SCons $VERSION release"
Now you have to go update the site:
$ ssh -l scons manam.pair.com $ cd public_html $ cp -al production new # hard-link the whole tree; fast. $ (cd new && svn up) # should be fast here too $ rm -rf previous $ mv production previous && mv new production $ exit
Now point your browser to the SCons home page. If anything is amiss, fix it, commit the necessary changes, and update the site.
Test downloading
Navigate to the SCons download page.
- Verify that the opening paragraph makes sense.
- In the right-hand sidebar, find the download section corresponding to $VERSION.
- For each file in the section, click on the link to download it.
- Verify that the files arrived and look reasonable.
Update Tigris.org
Update project pages
Send the changes you prepared above to Tigris:
From within the www subdirectory of your trunk directory:
$ svn commit -m"Update project web pages for $VERSION"
Point your browser at the roadmap page; if anything's amiss, fix it and commit again.
Add news item
Log in to your tigris.org account
Click Announcements in the left-hand nav bar
Click Add new announcement
- Double-check the date (it's probably already set)
Fill in the Headline box
Fill in the Body box with the HTML blurb
Click Add new announcement
Add release name to issue tracker
Click Issue Tracker on the left-hand nav bar
Click Configuration options
Click Add/edit components
Under scons, to the far right of Add ..., click Version
At the bottom of the list, to the right of "Add a new version", click Add
Fill in the Version: box with the release ($VERSION)
Click the Add button
Prepare a blurb by starting with a copy of src/Announce.txt. Edit the file and follow these guidelines:
- If the "scheduled for the next release" section has no content, cut it.
- Keep the first "changes since release" section (which should be since the last production release).
- Cut all of the subsequent "changes since release" sections.
- Leave the copyright notice at the bottom.
In general, use your own judgment as to what to keep and what to cut.

xabir wrote:Emptiness of person is the emptiness of a subjective self, agent (perceiver/controller/doer/thinker), soul, being, within or apart from the five aggregates. One sees that the framework that "a seer is seeing the seen" is delusional, I.e.in seeing always just the experience of the seen, colours, shapes and forms without a seer. One realizes that a subjective self is illusory.
Emptiness of phenomena means each of the five aggregates does not have objective existence. There is no formness in form, no substance of thought, etc. So they are appearing but empty, illusory like a magician's trick, like a mirage, a dream.
Here is an excerpt from a Buddhist glossary site on the definition of twofold Emptiness:
Two emptinesses (二空) include (1) emptiness of self, the ātman, the soul, in a person composed of the five aggregates, constantly changing with causes and conditions; and (2) emptiness of selves in all dharmas—each of the five aggregates, each of the twelve fields, and each of the eighteen spheres, as well as everything else with no independent existence. No-self in any dharma implies no-self in a person, but the latter is separated out in the first category. Realization of the emptiness of self in a person will lead to attainment of Arhatship or Pratyekabuddhahood. Bodhisattvas who have realized both emptinesses ascend to the First Ground on their Way to Buddhahood.
I can't argue, because I have already intuited that an arhat must be determined within emptiness. To go even further I think that it is because of the teaching that this is so. There is no reason to be stuck there, unless in absoluteness. The absoluteness has been deduced to a wrong view, from this perspective. The reason for that is the altering views and "phenomena" have yet to be realized to be able to conclude anything about everything or nothing.

Dog Jaundice
Dog Jaundice
When your dog develops a yellow color to their mucus membranes and other body tissue, your dog is jaundiced. This is the result of elevated levels of bilirubin. Bilirubin is the material that comes from red blood cells that have broken down.
Jaundice is not normal. The first place an owner may notice it, is in the whites of their dogs eyes. It will also be noticeable on the abdomen, gums and at the base of the dog's ear.
Prehepatic Causes
If the condition is "prehepatic" it is occurring before the blood enters the liver.
• Blood parasites
• Dogs may have it as a result of eating pennies composed of zinc or eating onions
• Reaction to a blood transfusion
• Dog Hemangiosarcoma or other blood vessel tumor
Hepatic Causes
This is the result of Dog Liver Disease and can be caused by:
• Hepatitis, cholangitis (disease of the bile duct system) or both
• Toxins being ingested, such as heavy metals, certain chemicals
• Viral, protozoal or bacterial infections
• Cirrhosis that is end stage
Posthepatic Causes
• Disease of the pancreas, gall bladder or bile duct
• Intestinal disorders that cause blockage of the bile duct
Signs and Symptoms
Obvious symptoms include a yellow tint to the whites of the eyes, skin and gums. Your dog will have Dog Lethargy and a Dog Loss of Appetite. This will cause Dog Weight Loss and poor condition of your dogs body. There can be distention of the abdomen.
When the condition becomes severe, your dog will have difficulty breathing, Dog Vomiting, Dog Diarrhea and will have Dog Increased Urination and Dog Increased Thirst.
Your veterinarian will perform standard laboratory studies such as CBC, chemical profile, urinalysis and liver profile. There will also be tests that evaluate protein level, blood sugar, electrolytes, ph of the urine.
From that point and after a complete medical history, your veterinarian may choose to do the following:
• X-rays of the abdomen and chest will enable your vet to see any masses and evaluate the potential enlargement of body organs
• Ultrasound will assess the size and shape of the organs of the abdomen with emphasis on the liver
• Serology will test for any infectious diseases that attack the liver or cause the destruction of red blood cells
• Clotting profiles will also be done. Abnormal clotting is possible with severe disease of the liver
• Liver biopsy if it is determined that the liver is diseased
• Coombs test evaluates for the destruction of RBC's by the immune system
• If necessary your veterinarian may choose to do an exploratory surgery of the abdomen. This is done if the tests performed are inconclusive
During the testing period your vet will discontinue any new therapies that were in progress before jaundice. Your dog will be encouraged to rest and not to be exposed to stressful situations. If the dog has Dog Dehydration, intravenous fluids along with electrolytes will be administered. If anemia is profound, blood transfusions will be done.
Once you get your dog home, palliative steps need to be taken, such as found with Dog Palliative Cancer Care. You should administer any medications ordered by your vet and remove any other materials that may be toxic.

The Sports Network
DATE & TIME: Saturday, October 20, 3:00 p.m. (et)
FACTS & STATS: Site: Bobby Dodd Stadium (55,000) -- Atlanta, Georgia. Television: RSN. Home Record: BC 1-2, Georgia Tech 2-2. Away Record: BC 0-3, Georgia Tech 0-2. Neutral Record: BC 0-0, Georgia Tech 0-0. Conference Record: BC 0-3, Georgia Tech 1-3. Series Record: Georgia Tech leads, 5-2.
GAME NOTES: Two teams at the bottom of the Atlantic Coast Conference will meet up at Bobby Dodd Stadium when the Boston College Eagles collide with the Georgia Tech Yellow Jackets.
It has not been a very successful season for Boston College, which enters play with a 1-5 overall record. That includes an 0-3 mark against ACC opponents with the most recent defeat a 51-7 thrashing at the hands of the Florida State Seminoles. The loss was the fourth straight for the Eagles who have yet to defeat a team at the FBS level this season. Boston College's lone win came against Maine of the FCS.
Things have not gone so well for Georgia Tech either. The Yellow Jackets have dropped three straight games to fall to 2-4 overall this season. The Yellow Jackets are just 1-3 against ACC foes with the lone win coming against Virginia in mid-September. Georgia Tech lost a 47-31 decision in its last matchup.
This will be the first time since 2008 these schools have met. In that contest Georgia Tech pulled out a 19-16 victory in Chestnut Hill to puts its all-time series lead at 5-2. The last time the squads met in Atlanta, the Matt Ryan-led Eagles took home a 24-10 victory in a matchup of nationally-ranked foes.
As might be expected for a 1-5 team, Boston College has struggled in a number of areas on both offense and defense. The Eagles are 10th in the ACC in total offense (383.8 ypg) and ninth in scoring (24.7 ppg).
Despite the difficulties, there is talent on the roster, most notably wideout Alex Amidon. The junior has hauled in 38 passes this season for 644 yards, while ranking second in the ACC in yards per game (114.7). After Amidon, the weapons in the passing game have been more limited with Johnathan Coleman (15 receptions, 237 yards, 3 TDs) the second most productive receiver.
Chase Rettig has begun to develop into a more efficient passer after struggling mightily last season. Although he has completed just 56.8 percent of his passes he has thrown for 1,531 yards and 10 touchdowns with only three interceptions. Last season Rettig had only 1,960 yards passing and 12 touchdowns.
Rettig has thrown more due in part to the Eagles constantly trailing but also due to a lack of an effective run game. Boston College is only averaging 103.3 yards on the ground which is the second worst mark in the conference. Andre Williams (379 yards) is the featured back, while Rolandan Finch, who had over 700 yards last season, has totaled only 115.
For all its struggles on offense, Boston College has been even worse on defense. The Eagles have allowed teams to score at a 32.7 points per game clip while racking up nearly 500 yards of offense (498) per game. Both of those marks are the second worst in the ACC thus far. The Eagles also have the fewest sacks (five) and tackles for loss (14) in the conference.
Although he has not been able to bring any ball carriers down in the backfield, Nick Clancy has recorded an ACC-leading 73 tackles. Both Steele Divitto (59) and Sean Sylvia (55) each rank in the top 10 in the conference as well.
Despite its one-dimensional nature, Georgia Tech has been one of the more successful offensive squads in the ACC this season. The Yellow Jackets are third in the conference in total yards this season (486.8 ypg) and fourth in scoring (37.8 ppg). However there is no semblance of balance for Georgia Tech. For every pass, Georgia Tech runs the ball 3.6 times, which has helped the Yellow Jackets compile the third best rushing offense (331.0 ypg) in the nation.
Quarterback Tevin Washington has been the lead rusher with 408 yards and an ACC leading 13 touchdowns this season. Washington has been relatively solid when he has thrown the ball, completing 62.8 percent of his passes for 804 yards and four scores along with two interceptions.
Behind Washington in rushing yards is Orwin Smith (362 yards, three TDs) and Zach Laskey (325 yards, one TD). Smith has also been a contributor in the passing game with 11 receptions for 155 yards. Only wideout Jeff Greene (12 receptions, 233 yards, two TDs) has more receptions or yards through the air.
The Yellow Jackets have not been as prolific on defense with the unit in the bottom half of the ACC in a number of categories. Georgia Tech is eighth in scoring (30.2 ppg), ninth in total yards (431.0 ypg) and second to last in tackles for loss (31).
Isaiah Johnson has been the most productive player in terms of tackling with a team-high 46, while also tied for the team lead in tackles for loss with Brandon Watts (4.5). In the secondary, Jabari Hunt-Days has been strong with 37 tackles, four pass breakups and an interception.
Both of these teams have not started the season how they would have hoped. Boston College has struggled in just about every area and Georgia Tech has not been all that much better. Still with a much more efficient offense and the benefit of homefield advantage if any team is going to start a turn around it will be the Yellow Jackets.
Sports Network Predicted Outcome: Georgia Tech 34, Boston College 20

There are no junk miles. If you're not injured so badly that you're altering your form, or so sick that you feel much worse after running, then it's all good. Even if you think a run doesn't advance your fitness, it has other benefits – promoting blood flow, clearing your mind, getting you away from the computer, burning calories, getting you out in nature, helping you spend time with friends, maintaining the rhythm of good training, and infinitely so on.
It's not uncommon to go to bed thinking, "Darn, I should have run today." It's not common to go to bed thinking, "I shouldn't have run today."
When you're feeling flat, a little fast running is often the best cure. A slow 5 miles might leave you feeling more lethargic. Instead, throw in some random short pick-ups, or do a set of striders on your street once you've done your normal loop. See "Managing Muscle Tension" here for an explanation of why little bursts of fast running can help you surpass sluggishness.
Multipace training is, of course, the key to top performance regardless of your target race distance. But that's not the only reason to regularly do all sorts of workouts, from long runs and basic speed sessions to slow recovery runs and tempo workouts. There's no better way to keep your running interesting than to have peaks and valleys of intensity and duration woven throughout your training weeks.
Not every "hard" workout has to be a killer session. You can sneak in more quality without going to the well by stopping by a track or hill or obstacle-free stretch of road toward the end of a run and doing a few up-tempo repeats of between 200 and 800m.
Finish some of your longer repeat workouts, like miles or kilometers, with a few 200s or 300s. You'll be pleasantly surprised at how fast you can run the short segments once you're fully warmed up. I once set a 200m PR on the last of four 200s done impromptu after a set of six 800s.
When you hear elites talk about their training, translate their workouts into efforts relative to race pace. A 20-miler with the last 8 miles at 5:00 per mile sounds really fast – and it is – but for an elite man, it's a long run with the last portion at marathon race pace. You can and should do such a workout regularly before your next marathon.
It's also helpful to understand elites' recovery paces relative to race paces. A national-class woman who runs easy mileage at 7:30 per mile is doing those recovery runs more than 2 minutes per mile slower than her 10K race pace. Do you?
At least a few days a week, decide what course you're going to run, and then leave your watch at home. Other days, run wherever, guided by total time on your watch. The thing to mostly avoid is timing yourself over the same courses day after day. That way lies the madness of beating yourself up for running slower than you "should" or forcing yourself to pick it up because you're 6 seconds slower at your 45-minutes-into-it checkpoint than you were yesterday.
When you're hurt and have to cross-train, try to spend more time on it than you do your running. After all, you can get in a decent run in 30 minutes, but you're not going to find lots of cyclists who would consider half an hour anything but a warm-up. Make the time go faster on individual workouts by translating your usual hard running workouts – VO2 max sessions, tempo workouts, etc. – to the pool or bike or elliptical or wherever you're spending your non-running time. Structure cross-training weeks like your running weeks; the variety will help your time in injury limbo pass faster than if you do the same medium-effort waiting-out-the-clock workout every day.

Lejeune made it a sweep Saturday.
Both the Devilpups' boys and girls' track and field teams came in first place in the NCHSAA 1-A East Regional championships aboard Camp Lejeune.
The Lejeune boys finished with 90 points, 12 ahead of Southwest to win its first regional since 1995. The Lejeune girls ended with 78 points, 10 ahead of the Stallions, who tied for second with Camden at 68.
Sweeping the regional event at home meant a lot to Lejeune's track and field programs given it's the first time since 1987 both Lejeune teams are regional champs.
"It's just exceptionally great. It's fantastic," boys' coach Darryl Schwartz said. "When a school our size competes in a big regional with (17 girls' teams and 15 boys' teams), it's big. We both worked hard and both came out on top."
Lejeune girls' coach Debbie Bryant was also pleased.
"That's really awesome," said Bryant, whose team also won the 2011 regional. "I am proud of the boys as well as the girls."
Granted, it certainly helped the Devilpups being on their home track.
"Oh, yes," Schwartz said. "When you're used to your track that you train on everyday (it helps)."
Next up for both Lejeune teams is the NCHSAA 1-A championships Friday at North Carolina A&T University. The top four individuals and relay teams in each regional event advance to states.
But before the Devilpups prepare for Friday, they can enjoy a clean sweep on what was an overcast and chilly day at the track.
"This means a lot," said Malcolm Hunter, who won the 110-meter and 300 hurdles. "I have run track all four years and we have come close. Now we made it my senior year and it's amazing. The key is hard work and dedication."
Ed-Konie Gilman, who won the 800 and 1,600 for the girls, was surprised.
"There were very good teams and good competition," she said.
The Lejeune girls had three individual winners and one relay champion, compared to one individual and two relay wins for Southwest.
Gilman won the 800 in 1:28.36 and the 1,600 in 5:42.61 while teammate Chryssandra Tatum won the triple jump at 35-2½. Tatum also anchored Lejeune's 4x400 relay team, which won in 4:26.29.
"I knew coming in it was going to be close between the top three teams, us, Southwest and Camden," Bryant said. "It just came down to who would perform."
And the Lejeune girls' performed well, avenging a narrow loss to Southwest last week in the Coastal Plains Conference championships. Southwest won the girls' regional last year.
"Today it came down to the 4x400," Bryant said. "We were ahead of them by six points going into the 4x400. We have key runners and we have other runners who are also great who come in second, third and fourth. In the 3,200 meters, we ended up third, fourth and six. That's 11 points in one event. I also had some girls come through in the hurdles to get us points."
And what did Tatum think about of the win?
"It feels good," she said. "It is expected."
Meanwhile, the Lejeune boys had five individual winners, compared to one individual winner and three relay champions for Southwest.
Hunter won the 110 hurdles in 15.83 and the 300 hurdles in 42.45 while teammate Jamaz Richardson won the long jump at 22-7½ and the 200 in 23.4.
Matthew Cancassi won the discus at 134-6 and Timmy Vaughan won the pole vault at 9-6 for the Devilpups.
"Matt did excellent in the discus and in the shot put," Schwartz said. "Malcolm is always steady and so it Jamaz."
Lejeune was coming off a third-place effort in the CPC championships. The Devilpups knew they could have performed better and they showed that Saturday.
"The key today was hard work and being focused," Schwartz said. "When we started off this year, we lowered our tolerance and raised the bar for excellence. They bought into it. The whole team bought into it. We have worked very hard and this is what happened when you work hard."
But while it was Lejeune's day, the Devilpups weren't the only local team to have winners.
Southwest's Devin Velez won the shot put at 46-10 and Dixon's Zach Foster won the 3,200 in 11:18.36. The Stallions also won the 4x200 and 4x800 relays.
In the girls' competition, Southwest's Haleigh Crouson won the 3,200 in 12:58.43. The Stallions also won the 4x200 and 4x800 relays.
TEAMS: Lejeune 90, Southwest 78, North Edgecombe 77, Camden 53, Dixon 44, Manteo 39, Southside 30, Pamlico 27, Riverside 24, Perquimans 24, Northampton 24, Southeast Halifax 16, KIPP Pride 13, Jones Senior 10, East Carteret 6
