Great. Best basic biscuit recipe I've ever used.
Good if you want shortbread. Biscuits very fragile and very hard to work with dough cutters. I will not be making this one again
Tasteless and broke easily. A waste of butter. Do yourself a favour and give this one a miss.
Every Christmas we make shortbread Christmas trees for our school teachers. Every Christmas we go back to Taste for this fantastic recipe. It is a winner and the teacher's love the Trees.
Its easy to make but come out with tasteless floury biscuit. Kind of disappointed.
Totally agree I was disappointed as well and had to throw away the whole lot..
This was an excellent recipe for making shape cut outs my grandson and I made dinosaur biscuits, they were great. Using butter gives best taste, froze half of mixture as we found it made a lot.
excellent recipe - easy to cut and tasty - in one this simple you need to use good quality flour and not overmix - you will taste the difference-also good quality vanilla helps too
It's Easy, Fast and Delicious!
I made it exactly to the directions, and like other have said was flavorless. I also found it difficult to roll. When I cooked them I found they were much more like shortbread than cookies and could even have been a bit 'short' even for shortbread. The kids enjoyed it. Some I mixed chocolate into and I sprinkled icing sugar over all of them.
Like a few others have said the dough was easy to work with and baked into shape well but they taste of very little and so far have been often fed to the dog but my kids. We won't make them again
This dough was easy for the kids to work with, but were so bland that even the kids wouldn't eat them.
made bird house cookies. Cut with a playdough cutter "Arrow", used back of piping nozzel to cut out bird hole, iced in three different bright colours per biscuit (roof, house and strip of colour for base), then vines and flowers over the top too. Looked really good,and all went in a flash!! None left over!! Was for kids b'day party "bird" theme. (icing was royal icing that dries hard- recipe in Taste.com, vine and flowers were the store bought "tubes" for a few dollars). Baked cookies with toothpick petruding, and "stood up" on green flower arranging foam brick thingy. Left over holes (from cookie cutting) were made into flowers - also on foam thingy.
I made "5" biscuits for my daughter's birthday and they went in a flash. I love this recipe so easy and the biscuits were delicious!
Very easy for the kids to cut out with, and retains shape well, but I agree with earlier comments that they taste of flour. There was lots left in the bikkie bin at the end of week...not a good sign in our household. I think there are better recipes around that are good for cut outs and taste as well.
a great dough for young grandson to help roll and cut, thanks
yummy recipe, and yet so simple
A very shortbready recipe. Decided they definitely needed icing. Yum
I didn't mind the flavour. Some commented it was too floury but it didn't seem that way to me. I kept the sugar 1/2 cup. It reminded me of a shortbread. So perhaps if you were expecting a different type of biscuit it would be disappointing.
This tasted terrible, the kids said they tasted like flour and I have to agree. I won't be using this recipe again.
not bad, definitely needs 1 cup of sugar as it tastes a little floury but will cook again.
Love them! They have turned out perfectly every time I've made them. Sometimes I dip one side of the cooked biscuits into melted chocolate or glaze icing, absolutely divine.
I am a very novice cook so was looking for something easy for the kids... but i added sultanas and rolled oats for some flavour but still found the basic dough lacking in taste... then i tried some golden syrup which not only changed the taste but also the appearance when it came out of the oven... improved the biscuits making it a bit crunchier.
We all loved these biscuits! I did, however, add an extra half a cup of sugar by mistake - maybe that's why they weren't as floury as others had experienced!!
i found these biscuits really floury and would not use this recipe again
it is simple and easy to mould, but after baking, taste a bit flour-y

There might be a light at the end of the tunnel for Ouya, the struggling US-based indie game console maker. China's all-the-rage phone maker Xiaomi has just partnered with Ouya to get a dedicated channel on Xiaomi's smart TVs and set-top boxes, according to Reuters.
Ouya led a Kickstarter campaign to build a US$99 Android-based game console, but the product ultimately bombed after it went on sale, and Ouya looked to be dead in the water. The company pivoted. In addition to selling its own console, it started licensing its software to be installed on other companies' devices.
Enter Xiaomi, by far Ouya's biggest partner to date. Xiaomi will get access to the 40,000 developers and 900 games on Ouya's platform. The details are still being hammered out, and no financial dealings were disclosed except that the two companies will share revenue.
Ouya's games are designed to be used with gamepads, similar to Playstation, Xbox, and Nintendo consoles. Its timely entrance into the Chinese market comes just as the Xbox One prepares to go on sale next month. While it's not clear what the deal means for the console side of Ouya's business, the tie-up with Xiaomi will help it enter Chinese households around the same time as Microsoft's game console titan.
Xiaomi has expressed interest in gaming before. In February, it bought a stake in Kingsoft subsidiary Westhouse for $20 million. Westhouse mainly makes PC-based MMOs.
Xiaomi sells most of its devices at near-cost of production, which means it has a long-term plan of making money from software and internet value-added services on those phones, tablets, TVs, and set-top boxes. Gaming certainly falls under that umbrella. Earlier this year, Xiaomi led a US$310 million investment in streaming video site and media portal Xunlei to help beef up its entertainment offerings.

I've released pre-compiled Solaris CLISP packages for x86 and Sparc (32bit).
Anyone can grab them at http://riemann.solnetworks.net/~dlewis/packages/clisp .
As of yet, I've only thrown the x86 packages up. The Sparc ones are still being
tested and should be available tonight if anyone is intrested. I'll also be sure
to MD5 checksum all the files, and make the them available in an MD5SUMS file.
Be sure to take a look at the README.txt .

Unfortunately, I'm having a bit of trouble compiling for Sparc, but I'll have it
up as soon as it passes all the tests. Sorry for the inconvience.
The X86 package passed all the tests, and I'm actually using it as a dependency
for another piece of software. So, it's OK.

The U. S. Department of Transportation's Maritime Administration has signed fee-for-service contracts to recycle three more of its obsolete ships. Two ships, the Hattiesburg Victory and the Pioneer Contractor, are from the Beaumont Reserve Fleet in Texas, and one, the oiler Savannah, is from the James River Reserve Fleet in Virginia.
The Maritime Administration has moved 118 ships out of its National Defense Reserve Fleet sites since 2001. With the contracts announced today, there are only 24 ships left in the James River waiting to be disposed of and without disposal contracts, and 10 such ships in the Beaumont site.
The Hattiesburg Victory is one of the few remaining Victory ships built during World War II to carry cargo needed by U.S. forces all over the world. Hattiesburg Victory was built during the last months of the war, served in a commercial fleet in the Hawaiian Islands immediately after World War II, and later served in the Korean and Vietnam conflicts. Hattiesburg Victory will be recycled at ESCO Marine Inc., of Brownsville, Texas, at a cost to the federal government of $1,016,000.
The Savannah is 1970-vintage ex-Navy oil replenishment (AOR4) ship, not to be confused with the nuclear-powered ship Savannah currently moored in Baltimore. The oiler Savannah, currently moored at the James River Reserve Fleet site, also will be recycled at ESCO Marine Inc., of Brownsville, for $515,726. The third ship, Pioneer Contractor, was originally constructed in 1963 as the American Contractor, a breakbulk cargo ship. It is currently moored at Beaumont and will be recycled by Marine Metal, Inc., of Brownsville, for $321,000.
The Maritime Administration stores ships at three National Defense Reserve Fleet sites: the James River Reserve Fleet, the Beaumont Reserve Fleet, and the Suisun Bay Reserve Fleet in California. When ships become obsolete, the Maritime Administration arranges for their disposition in an environmentally sensitive manner. When a ship is recycled, the recycler often salvages and sells metal and other materials, and disposes of other materials in accordance with state and federal law.

Many LPNs in the state of North Carolina work in long-term care facilities. Those who wish to work here usually have a variety of work sites to choose from, including hospitals, medical offices, clinics, healthcare centers and hospices. The majority of LPNs in NC can be found within the counties of Forsyth, Guilford, Cumberland, and Mecklenburg. The 3-year first-time passing rate for licensed practical nurses pursuing the NCLEX-PN examinations are significantly high, ranging from 85-99%.
The state of North Carolina also features an increasingly expanding number of career opportunities for practical nursing graduates. Throughout North Carolina LPNs make up approximately 16% of all licensed nurses state-wide. The comfort score for the LPN profession is 92, which takes into consideration the average LPN income, state salary and living expenses. Average income for LPNs in North Carolina is $19 per hour or an annual wage of $39,800. Meanwhile, those who work in major metropolitan areas tend to earn more.

A true telephoto lens can actually be shorter than its focal length. The design of the lens moves the nodal point - the point from which one measures the focal length - forward to a point nearer the front of the lens. It is actually possible to have a nodal point that is effectively outside of the lens itself.
That sort of design makes for a smaller lens, but of course involves some other compromises.
Wide angle lenses often involve something similar (but in reverse). A retro-focus lens is designed to move the nodal point back, so as to allow it to be closer to the film surface then the lens elements themselves.
You cannot do this with a single element lens, but once you start using multiple elements of different shapes and types ....

PITTSBURGH -- This second half displayed No. 12 Pittsburgh at its best. Aaron Gray scoring consistently and teaming with Levon Kendall to make it difficult on opponents inside, and Mike Cook and Ronald Ramon hitting 3-pointers to extend runs and build leads.
What the Panthers want to do is keep this going for, say, another five weeks.
Gray and Kendall wore down West Virginia with their inside scoring and rebounding and the Panthers remained in contention for the Big East regular-season title, beating the Mountaineers 80-66 Tuesday night behind a dominating second half.
Despite losing at Big East leader Georgetown 61-53 on Saturday, Pitt (25-5, 12-3) can win the league title and be top-seeded in the conference tournament next week if it wins at Marquette (No. 21 ESPN/USA Today; No. 20 AP) on Saturday and Georgetown, an upset loser Monday to Syracuse, falls at home to Connecticut the same day. Pitt can finish no worse than second if it beats Marquette, which won at Pittsburgh 77-74 on Jan. 21.
"We're right where we wanted to be in the Big East," coach Jamie Dixon said, even though Pitt would be leading if it had beaten the Hoyas. "This is what we talked about, being right here in the conference."
The surprise was that much of that talking was done by Gray, a 7-footer who is one of the top big men in school history.
Normally not a big talker, Gray was unhappy that Pitt trailed 32-29 at halftime in his final home game and let his teammates know it. He was especially disappointed Pitt might lose any chance of winning the conference, which he called "a huge preseason goal."
"I'm usually not one to say something in the huddle, but I almost lost my voice from the halftime speech," Gray said. "We didn't want to let the chance for the championship slip away."
Gray, hampered by a badly sprained ankle for 10 days and not much of a factor against Georgetown, keyed a 9-0 run that started the second half and put the Panthers up 38-32. Gray scored the first four points of a run finished off by Levance Fields' 3-pointer.
"They're so hard to defend," West Virginia coach John Beilein said, a reference to Pitt's size and depth. "But I think we're coming. We did some things well, and we almost scored 70 points against one of the best defensive teams in the country, even though we didn't shoot well."
Cook credited Gray's talk for the Panthers outscoring the Mountaineers 51-34 in the second half.
"Aaron huddled us up at halftime, and we responded," he said.
West Virginia (20-8, 8-7) had a chance to win it, closing it to 54-51 with about 8 minutes remaining, but Cook made a 3-pointer and two free throws and Fields hit an off-balance 3 while nearly falling out of bounds during another 9-0 run that gave Pitt its first double-digit lead. Cook all but sealed it with another 3 that made it 66-53 after Joe Alexander hit two free throws for West Virginia.
"We started getting shots and we knocked them down," Cook said.
Gray, who missed one game after hurting the ankle Feb. 17 against Washington, had 12 points and 13 rebounds and would have had a bigger night if he hadn't missed 7 of 9 free throws.
The 6-10 Kendall, taking on a bigger role in the offense since Gray got hurt, added 12 points and nine rebounds. Cook played a strong floor game with five assists besides adding 12 points. Fields had a team-high 14 points and made 2 of 4 from 3-point range as Pitt went 8-of-16 beyond the arc after going only 3-of-15 against Georgetown. Ramon scored 10 points while making all three of his shots, two from beyond the arc, and two free throws.
The Mountaineers shot 40 percent (22-of-55) while dropping their fourth in six games and may need to win at least once in the Big East tournament to assure themselves of reaching the NCAA tournament -- prompting some Pitt fans to chant, "NIT! NIT!" as the game ended. West Virginia dropped the season series to the Panthers, who won earlier this month in Morgantown by 60-47.
Dixon disagreed with his own fans, saying, "I think they're an NCAA Tournament team."
Darris Nichols scored 14 points and Jamie Smalligan had 13 for the Mountaineers, who went 11-of-33 on 3-pointers and are only 20-of-74 in their last two games. They also were outrebounded 38-21.

I'm looking for an implementation of CRC32 in C or C++ that is explicitly licensed as being free or public domain. The implementation here seems nice, but the only thing it says about the license is "source code", which isn't good enough. I'd prefer non LGPL so I don't have to fool around with a DLL (my app is closed source). I saw the adler32 implementation in zlib, but I'm checking small chunks of data, which adler is not good for.
Use the Boost C++ libraries. There is a CRC included there and the license is good.
The SNIPPETS C Source Code Archive has a CRC32 implementation that is freely usable:
(Unfortunately, c.snippets.org seems to have died. Fortunately, the Wayback Machine has it archived.)
In order to be able to compile the code, you'll need to add typedefs for
The only critical item in the header is this macro (which could just as easily go in CRC_32.c itself:
I am the author of the source code at the specified link. While the intention of the source code license is not clear (it will be later today), the code is in fact open and free for use in your free or commercial applications with no strings attached.
The crc code in zlib (http://zlib.net/) is among the fastest there is, and has a very liberal open source license.
And you should not use adler-32 except for special applications where speed is more important than error detection performance.
pycrc is a Python script that generates C CRC code, with options to select the CRC size, algorithm and model.
It's released under the MIT licence. Is that acceptable for your purposes?
using zlib.h (http://refspecs.linuxbase.org/LSB_3.0.0/LSB-Core-generic/LSB-Core-generic/zlib-crc32-1.html):
The mhash library works pretty good for me. It's fast enough, supports multiple types of hashing (crc32, MD5, SHA-1, HAVAL, RIPEMD128, RIPEMD160, TIGER, GOST, etc.). To get CRC32 of a string you would do something like this:
rurban's fork of SMHasher (the original SMHasher seems abandoned) has hardware CRC32 support. The changes were added before the initial commit, but try comparing the new CMakeLists.txt and the old one (which doesn't mention SSE at all).
The best option is probably Intel's zlib fork with PCLMULQDQ support described in this paper. This library also has the SSE 4.2 optimizations.
If you don't need portability and you're on Linux, you can use the kernel's implementation (which is hardware accelerated if available): http://stackoverflow.com/a/11156040/309483
I came across this usefull article on Checksum calculation.

We wasted no time getting back into our workout mode after a fun and relaxing weekend. It was really nice to have a weekend where we could really relax and let go. Just live in the moment and enjoy it to the fullest!
Bodyrock was the workout of choice, we did the hard bodies getting harder workout.
We grabbed our Gymboss Interval Timer and happily went to work.
Nothing like an intense workout to get our butts in gear.
It was nice taking a few days off, but yesterday's workout felt really nice. Almost a little enjoyable to get the body moving again.
We also have updated our workout page, which has been forever since we have.
Love how we can go back and look at what we did (or did not do). Helps keeps us motivated to exercise daily if possible. And now with a wedding we are both determined to stay on track more!! Hopefully by us announcing here will help too.
Twins Question: What helps get you on track with your workouts? Do you write it out? Share it with others? Or do you do best with no plan, just do what you can whenever?
speaking of workout, time to go do one this morning…
Till next time

Character interaction was cute though. XD
| quintilis chapter 19 . 1/5/2011
Aww, I can just imagine Kent being all proper and knowing his cutlery. What a cute idea!
| Qieru chapter 17 . 6/7/2010
So, I must get some kind of loser award for taking so long, but here we go~ X3
[He had chosen to stay with her, of course. As a knight and as…a…friend…it would not do to leave her alone.] I like the ellipsis around "friend" since it accents his person hesitation and feelings, as well as accompanying his poking of the fire. It shows well that his mind is "somewhere else".
[Her nose was still red and the first thing she did was pull a handkerchief—which, he remembered, was actually his own—from where it was tucked in her sash to blow her nose.] Aww~ One, it helps give a picture of her illness without going "She had a runny nose, durrrr 8U", and two, it tells more about him in that he gave her the handkerchief. c: A simple little sentence, but it carries a lot.
[t was a long moment before he remembered that he was attempting—note: attempting—to make something for their breakfast.] Forgetting that you're cooking while you are doing so is never a good sign xD;
[Lady Lyndis's eyes widened with curiosity, and she tucked her borrowed handkerchief back into her sash as she leaned closer to him. "You cooked? For me?"] Awwr, I really like this bit. Her curious innocence and how she tucks the hanky before inquiring is so cute and very 'her', I think.
["Y-Yes…" He suddenly felt…very out of place. He didn't really know how to cook, but he was certain that she was tired of eating dried meat and nuts—things they had been practically living on for months. The evening before, he had gotten some eggs from a farm they had passed by, and the same farmer had also offered him a freshly killed rooster for a very reasonable price.] He tried so hard for her~ ;0;
[Her eyes softened, "But I really want to…"] Aww. Poor Kent. Maybe she'll teach him when he's better. x3
This was so cute~ I loved it very much, thank you~ :D
| Trevor X chapter 17 . 5/19/2010
["I know you had the best of intentions…doing all this for me." she finally managed to swallow her first bite, and then her hand gently squeezed his shoulder. "Kent, I never lie…"
"Yes, milady."
He inclined his head, daring to look up at her. She was gazing at him quite seriously. "But…?"
Her eyes softened, "But I really want to…"] - That is awesome. Crux of the whole tale!
I do however pity Kent. It bites to want to do something for someone and have it come out badly.
| serene-fire chapter 15 . 3/21/2010
Keep on writing pointless crap - I'll always read it!
I liked this chapter, since it was believable, I could totally imagine Lyndis doing this to Kent. I was a bit surprised at Kent's behaviour though - but he has a teasing, playful side to him as well, I'm sure of it.
I simply loved it when Lyndis said 'Hello there' since it seemed so casual and friendly, which is quite humorous when you think that Kent is touching her whilst she is supposed to be asleep.
Well done, Manna, keep on writng!
| Xirysa chapter 16 . 3/20/2010
So. This made my day.
And I was going to review this when I was at school, since I managed to get through the firewalls and such.
That's totally my luck right there.
But ahsdkghakdrfgsdfh. This is made of awesome.
| Trevor X chapter 16 . 3/18/2010
Kent... you are so pwned. Reluctant to let go. Persuaded to hold on. Beside her forever. It's a promise.
| Qieru chapter 16 . 3/16/2010
[She blinked at him, and though her gaze was level, he saw a hint of sorrow in her eyes.
A trace of it always lingered there.]
Aww. But that he notices, that he sees it there is testament to his care for her.
["You promised," she purred, wrapping her arms around his neck with a tantalizing slowness that left him feeling bewildered and torn. The softness of her lips brushed against his jaw. "You promised."]
She his /that/ pretty well though, hahaha. xD So sweet and cute. She tangles him up so well, verbally and literally, hee.
[His thoughts shattered as she pressed a kiss against his throat. His tongue felt thick as he swallowed again. "I did," he finally admitted.]
That's it. She broke him. The poor man.
[She suddenly ducked out of his embrace and flashed him a brilliant smile. He found his hand in hers and he found himself walking after her, his knees feeling terribly stiff and his mind left whirling.]
Aww! How teasing of her! She breaks his ability to resist and then brings him along with her. Poor Kent.
Cute little piece~ Thank you~ v
| Trevor X chapter 15 . 3/16/2010
Whee! An update from the world of Manna!
Sneaky Kent! Sneak, sneak! Sh! People might wake up!
Loved the description of the quiet little game that they play. Especially with Kent counting himself the victor of the round here.
The whole gently touching and waking up scene was just too... CUTE!
*Goes off and babbles in a corner*
| Qieru chapter 15 . 3/15/2010
aww~ So cute. :D Just a short little moment in time. No rush or frenzy. Just as lazy as Lyndis herself is and it gives it a nice feel.
[Her lips curled upward as she gazed at him sleepily. "Busted," she murmured, her syllables slurred together so badly he could hardly understand her. ] Hee, this was so cute and so very like her. And I like her small movements like turning on her back and stretching her legs.
["Good night, Lyndis," he whispered before he got to his feet and walked the six feet to his own bedroll.] Hee~ Protective and close~ :3
| NewPaladin chapter 15 . 3/15/2010
Why do you write so many cute things that make my brain melt? Once again my brain is... an undefinable mass. No that it's something new...
God, I don't even know what to write because, uhm, I can find nothing but teh cuteness. Maybe a bit rambling? ... I wish I could write cute and pointless crap like you but it's hard. Most of the time my brain does not accept pointless things. It's just my nature. But I love to read pointless fluff because the world needs fluff. :D
Hn, no more rambling. There's a cat sitting in my lap and it's hard to write while she wants to be cuddled. Bye :D
| Trevor X chapter 14 . 11/27/2009
And there was much sadness as the characters all continued to move in their scripted paces... Because that's all that it was, a scripted life. She was losing herself inside the character that she had to portray, and he had never had the chance to find out who he was aside from the expectations of his station.
*Tears galore*
And you're right. Something like this had to be written, somewhere, somehow.
Still cuts ya to the quick tho, don't it?

by Lee Brake
Being able to throw a cast net, at least adequately, is one of those skills you pretty much must have if you're ever going to do any serious live bait fishing. This week Lee Brake will show you the method he uses.
The author secures a throw line
We all know blokes who can spread a 10ft net over a flying mullet at maximum range nine times out of ten, and I'll tell you right now that I'm not one of those guys. I can make a school of herring pretty worried though, and that mullet would be about a 50/50 chance of ending up on the pointy end of a barra rig. I'll share what I know and how I do it with you, but if you can do it better, then let me know, so that if I ever take you out, I'll know to do the driving...
How to throw a cast net:
Before I start, let me clarify that this is how I throw a cast net, as taught to me by my grandfather and as was taught to him by his. It is just one of many ways and has its strengths and weaknesses. Feel free to Google the 'off the wrist' method if you'd like an alternative.
Step 1. Loop the throw line securely over your wrist (of your throwing arm). It may seem simple, but the next person to cast a net only to watch it disappear won't be the last.
Men's One Person Dinghy Heavy (Finn) Fleet on day one - ISAF Sailing World Cup Weymouth and Portland
Step 2. Gather the rope up into your throwing hand and when you get to the top of the net continue to grab lengths of the net, about a foot each time, and store these in your hand. Continue this until the length of what remains stretches from your shoulders to your knees, or just above.
The author holds the net out and selects the leadline from the far side.
Step 3. Hold the net about shoulder height and take a bit of the leadline, with your other hand, from the side of the net facing away from you.
He then he flicks it over his shoulder.
Step 4. Make a skyward-facing wing with your casting arm and place this bit of the net over your arm. Note: this is the biggest weakness of this technique, as you have to be mindful of stingers, stonefish and other nasties. A long-sleave, button-less shirt is a must.
With the net in place on his "wing" the author begins running his fingers through the excess hanging net to gather around half. He then holds this gathered net out forward with his spare hand.
Step 5. Reach inside the net with your free arm and grab the leadline closest to your body, then gather this by running your fingers through the bunched up net. Gather about half of the net and hold this out in front of yourself, so that it forms a semi-circle.
The net is now primed to throw and you'll note that it forms a semicircle.
Step 6. Swivel your body backwards 90 degrees and swing the net back behind your shoulder. Then assume a pose of concentration while you watch for signs of bait... either tongue out the side of your mouth or biting the bottom lip works well.
The caster now rotates his body 90 degrees and waits, primed, for a target.
The Throw: Once bait is spotted, the caster begins to rotate his body 180 degrees. You'll note that half way through the cast the net comes off his shoulder as his casting arm straightens.
He then straightens the casting arm completely once it's pointed at the target but continues to rotate and bring his spare hand, which still holds the net, around. Once turned almost a full 180 degrees he releases the net with the spare hand.
Step 7. Once you've seen your target, it's time to throw the net. In the process of the swing you swivel your body 180 degrees, however, you will 'throw' the net and dictate the direction it will go halfway through by letting go and straightening your throwing arm. Where your arm straightens is where the net will go. To get a spread though, you need to keep hold of that bit of gathered net with your non-throwing arm until you get to the full 180 degrees. This is what creates the spin and opens the net.
Once the net has hit the water it pays to hold the throw line taut and low to the water so the head, or tube, of the net is submersed. Once the leadline sinks, the bait will head towards open space, which will be up the net if it's submersed. Then, once you start pulling the net in, it will 'close up' and flatten out, forcing any bait that hasn't bottlenecked in the top of the net into the pockets at the bottom. For this reason, if you're casting from a boat, a good driver can be just as essential as a good netter. Communication is the key. Verbalise your actions: 'Okay, I'm sneaking in; we're in neutral; cast when you're ready.' And then as soon as the net leaves the caster's hands, the driver should start reversing gently. This constant verbalisation will prevent any mishaps like driving over nets, throwing the caster off balance, or running aground, and once the net is being retrieved, gently driving backwards will help to close the net and lower the angle.
Other tips:
There are a few other tricks that veteran mullet-musterers use to make the job easier. Firstly, be prepared with a shirt that has no buttons on the sleeves – nothing throws you inside-out like catching a bit of your net on a button and then throwing yourself with the net. Secondly, invest in some polarised sunglasses. A good pair will halve the time it takes to spot bait and will make the job so much easier. Thirdly, prepare your surface. Nothing mucks up your boat carpet like cast-netting and nothing makes an aluminium deck slipperier. A few hessian bags laid down over the front of a bare tinnie deck can stop you doing the Boson Two Step and ending up on your bum, or worse, in the drink, once the deck gets wet and muddy. They are also easy to take out and hose clean. The last tip involves being aware of what may be under the water where you are about to cast. The next net to be ripped to shreds on an oyster covered rock or tangled on mangrove roots won't be the last.
Till next time, fish hard and stay safe.

Grade Skipper YKTTW Discussion
|Grade Skipper
A significantly younger character in a school where most students are the same age.Tropeworthy? Needs Examples Description Needs Help Better Name
In most school systems around the world, kids are grouped together by age from pre-school to graduation. However, there are some children (usually the Child Prodigy or Teen Genius) that, for various reasons, have skipped entire years of material. As a result, some characters will be a child in high school classes, or a teenager at a university. This is convenient for putting a Kid-Appeal Character into the main cast of a work set in school. While missing a single year might often just emphasize intelligence, widening the gap often causes social differences or difficulties for the characters. Often, the Grade Skipper is one of the most awkward characters on the show when he shows up, especially if he's the protagonist. Some of them wander into Cloud Cuckoolander territory; most are also the Innocent Prodigy. If they're not into their early teens yet, expect them to be the Tagalong Kid that doesn't understand romance or dirty jokes. Sometimes, one of the more intelligent characters might be skipped ahead as a one-episode plot. Generally, if this happens, either the skipped character will feel isolated enough to rejoin the main cast, or some improbable turn of events will completely undo the process. If parental meddling was the reason for their skipping, then it's likely that these characters go to a private school or an Elaborate University High. It's common for these characters to continue on to Ivy League schools or top colleges, but it's also fairly common for them to be rejected. This can also take place in non-academic environments, as long as a young character is placed into a group of traditionally older people due to skill. Though it may seem unusual, this is often Truth in Television, as this is a fairly common practice in some parts of the world. Fiction usually takes it to extremes, though: children skipped more than once or twice are extremely rare; and most of them will not be accepted instantly to a top college, even if they were skipped more than twice, because of the somewhat-arbitrary standards of admission to American universities. Subtrope of Improbable Age. Contrast Held Back In School. Note: Some high schools also allow students to take college classes part-time in both real life and fiction; that isn't this trope. If a student got into higher-level classes with normal school policies, then they're just smart.
Examples:Anime and Manga
- Azumanga Daioh. Chiyo Mihama is a Child Prodigy who skipped ahead 5 grades to 10th grade, the first year of high school in Japan.
- In Rosario + Vampire we have Yukari. She's 11 and skipped several grades. Despite this, she is obsessed with having a threesome with Moka and Tskune.
- A non-academic example: Limone from Simoun is the youngest member of Chor Tempest (a squadron of teenage priestesses-turned-fighter pilots) by the virtue of having completed her flight training ahead of everyone else in her class.
- Extra exaggerated in Mahou Sensei Negim] where the TEACHER is a ten year old teaching fourteen year olds.
- Paniponi Dash is exactly the same.
- Subverted in Problem Child 2; Junior is skipped ahead to the sixth grade so that Principal Peabody will be rid of him in a year instead of three years.
- In the Gary Coleman Made For TV Movie The Kid With The 200 IQ Coleman plays a 12-year-old who goes to college studying astronomy and has a hard time fitting in.
- In Almost Famous, William's mom lied about his age - not just to the school but to him - to get him ahead in school.
- This happens in the epilogue of Matilda: Matilda's Psychic Powers disappear once she gets put in an advanced class, and are explained as a reaction of her brain having very little to work with.
- Ponyboy from The Outsiders is 14, but he skipped a grade so he's already in high school.
- Arby the Black And Nerdy kid from Michael Crichton's The Lost World is supposed to be in 5th grade but was bumped up to 7th.
- The Big Bang Theory:
- In the episode "The Jerusalem Duality", a 15-year-old physicist who defected from North Korea joins the research staff at the university, and turns out to be smarter than Sheldon in the field.
- It's been mentioned numerous times on the show that Sheldon was also much younger than traditional age when he went to high school and college.
- In Eureka this is apparently pretty commonplace seeing as it's a town full of geniuses. More than one of Zoe's high school classmates appear to be younger than 12.
- Maya Matlin in Degrassi is a 13-year-old high school freshman when first introduced, implying that she's skipped a grade.
- Doogie Howser, M.D. attained his medical license at age 14, having breezed through Princeton University at age 10.
- Charlie and his brother Don on Numb3rs graduated high school on the same day. Don is five years older than Child Prodigy Charlie.
- "Weird Al" Yankovic graduated from high school at age 16; he was the class valedictorian.
- Out of The ClueFinders, it's stated in Leslie's bio that she's in the 6th grade, but is only 10 because she skipped a grade. Out of the other Cluefinders, Owen is 11, Joni and Santiago are both 12 and in the 7th grade. None of the games show the characters in school, so it's really only a minor detail.
- In the prequel comic to Dr. Horrible's Sing-Along Blog, we find out that Dr. Horrible was in sixth grade when he was eight, implying a skip of 2-3 grades. He ends up being picked on by a more normally-aged bully for both being smart and for still playing with action figures.
- In Hey Arnold!, Phoebe moves up to a higher grade for an episode, but the older students are kind of jerks, and she eventually realizes she'd rather go back to the 4th grade with her friends. And she does.
- The Simpsons: Lisa Simpson. She's smart for her age, certainly, but only brilliant by comparison with Springfield's stupid children and horrible school system. When she gets the opportunity to study at Waverly Hills, an elementary school with actual standards and quality, Lisa finds that she's only a B student, rather than the straight As she got at Springfield Elementary, which traumatizes her. In another episode, she gets to skip to the third grade early, but finds it difficult (made more embarrassing for her because Bart was demoted a grade and found it easy):
Principal Skinner: Lisa, you have a choice: you may continue to be challenged in third grade or return to second grade and be merely a big fish in a small pond.Lisa: Big fish! Big fish!

NFCC Appears to be Talking Out of Both Sides of Their Mouth
Recently the National Foundation for Credit Counseling ("NFCC"), the nonprofit franchise operation for credit counseling outfits, filed a public statement in which they were winging about the amount of funding they get from creditors. Historically, a significant amount of support for those activities came from creditors in the form of "fair share." In recent times, however, and due in a ... Read More »
Credit Counseling Against Registration of Debt Relief Providers? Huh?
In what is another of the ultimate ironies of nonprofit charitable credit counseling, it appears that at least two trade associations feel nonprofit credit counselors should not have to participate in any national registration of debt relief companies with the Consumer Financial Protection Bureau. I must admit, the position against CFPB registration stumps me and seems anti-counsumer at face value. ... Read More »
Dear Credit Counselors, You Are Your Own Worst Enemy.
I'm frustrated. For the life of me I can't understand why credit counseling continues to look at debt settlement as the enemy.

The other day over a delicious Cracker Barrel lunch I was asked which side of the ... Read More »

NFCC and CCCS Should be Open and Transparent When It Comes to Performance
For far too long credit counseling groups have remained silent about how their service actually performs. Many routinely direct consumers to nonprofit credit counselors but how effective are they?

An update...
I have increased the concentration and decreased the amount of of citric acid in order to lessen the dilution of final volume of SN+CA used for coating.
I have mixed %50 citric acid. (you can dissolve up to 70grams of CA per 100ml)
I added 1 drop of %50 CA per 0,5ml of SN.
So roughly to coat 8x10 inches area it is 1,5ml SN + 3drops of %50 CA. (The optimum amount of SN might change with paper so consider it as a guide only)
I left the coated paper in 27C %60RH condition for an hour. There was no fogging. If fogging happens it happens before the paper gets dry, so I believe the amount of CA is safe.
Maintaining the solution used for coating around the optimum volume would help IMO.The coating would be easier and less prone to problems because it would require less brush strokes or less passes with glass rod.

Comments Thread For: Mercito Gesta's Trainer on His Fighter's Next Step
Earlier this month, undefeated lightweight contender Mercito No Mercy Gesta continued his path towards a world-title shot with a hard-fought decision victory over tough journeyman Manuel Perez in Parker, Arizona. A native of Mandaue City in the Philippines and now residing in San Diego, Calif., Gesta has been generating some serious buzz in the sport and the southpaw is next slated for a November 11th appearance in Las Vegas one night before the third encounter between Manny Pacquiao and Juan Manuel Marquez.

Parra doesn't know *****! Gesta should leave his A$$ - starting out slow my a$$!!! Gesta should've finished Perez once he knew Perez's number, not stick around and play let's learn from this fight BULL$H!T! Parra told Gesta to hold back and work his technique, w/c is bull***** - the more needless time you spend in the ring with a fighter like Perez (and future fighters of the like) the more chances of getting KTFO by a lucky punch!!! That's why you have sparring sessions in training camp Parra!!! You freaking idiot!!! When it comes to fight night you go to KTFO YOUR OPPONENT; NOT TO PRACTICE!!! Don't know what Parra is trying to do, but Pare Gesta you need to drop Parra and get with Roach!

The very best are truly horrible, in the most complimentary sense of that word. "His Mouth Will Taste of Wormwood" (Poppy Z. Brite), "The Adder" (Fred Chappell), "Fat Face" (Michael Shea), "The Unthinkable" (Bruce Sterling), "Love's Eldritch Ichor" (Esther M. Friesner) and "On the Slab" (Harlan Ellison) are the keen standouts, but all the rest, practically, are of almost equal quality. However, there are a couple of tales that do not deserve to be amongst this company, and the tome would have been better and tighter by their absence. Certainly, at 398 pages, there's no lack of material.
In "His Mouth Will Taste of Wormwood," Poppy Z. Brite deftly invokes a vampric flavor to themes of decay and the forbidden, his writing style as ornate and refined as rococo and in the real spirit of the master. Fred Chappell's "The Adder" draws the dangerous and inimical from the ordinary in a tale delightful for its originality. Bruce Sterling also slings some fresh ideas around in "The Unthinkable," melding modernity and necromancy in a brief, effective story.
Horror gourmands will find a good meal here, but Cthulhu 2000 should have a bit of life outside its traditional genre, for the writing is strong, imaginative and entertaining. --Tamara Hladik

Can u explain the bills pick? Thx.
Great Bears pick
If the Bengals pass on Jarvis Jones I will stop rooting for them.
Tyler Bray in the first... I guess if any coach can get his ass in line it'd be harbaugh.
Don't really see linebacker as a first round need for Miami. We need depth, sure, but Misi, Dansby, and Burnett have all been playing above average this year.
I don't want a QB that high unless its Barkley, Mingo or Milliner would be ideal additions to help our pass defense
I haven't watched Werner play so I can offer no criticism. Is he better than Mingo to you razor?
LB for Miami? Hmm... Not seeing a logical reason there
Some suggestions:
Matt Barkley is a better fit for Kansas City if they stick with Daboll, but obviously they should build around whichever QB you think is the best (I'd go Barkley.) I like Mingo or Jarvis Jones for Cleveland over Weerner because it gives them some freedom; they've invested in Sheard at left end and Frostee Rucker at right end, without much at outside linebacker. I'll eat my hat if Tyler Wilson goes in the top five. Cordy Glenn has played very well at left tackle for the Bills. I can't imagine Warmack going anywhere close to 11 after David DeCastro couldn't even make the top 20 as a much better player. Corey Lemonier is too thin and one-dimensional to go in the first round; he kind of reminds me of Aaron Maybin, pure speed rusher, muscular but not strong. Cooper is another OG who probably can't make the top 20. There's no chance Jarvis Jones slides to 19; he is one of the draft's elite rushers and a better prospect than Bruce Irvin was last year. Dallas Thomas doesn't belong in the first or second round as far as I'm concerned; he has a lot of trouble suystaining blocks. Why would the 49ers draft Tyler Bray after signing Alex Smith to a $24 million contract extension this year and with Colin Kaepernick waiting? I don't see Bray as a first-round pick anyways.
Good KC pick. And I seriously doubt Daboll is kept after this year. I don't think anyone in the FO or coaching staff will return.
There were reports that the Ravens have tried to start talks with Oher and his agent for an extension so I don't think OT is a likely pick at all in the first few rounds. They have Osemele or Reid to play RT so I don't think they move Oher over to that side either. Jordan would have been a better pick regardless though.
Not a thing wrong with the Saints pick although I personally believe that on draft day you will see us picking a pass rushing DE.
49ers do not need to take a QB in round one!Some one on the defense side would work much better , S or OLB or even CB.
LOL at the Niners pick.
Not that great of a pick for the Pack, we worked on our D-Line last year. Give us a D-Back or O-Lineman here.
I do not see Jarvis Jones falling that far in the draft
If Jarvis Jones falls that far then a lot of people should get fired
Please excuse me while I go change my pants at the thought of that completely unrealistic, yet o so sexy Giants pick

The problem statement, all variables and given/known data An object moving at a constant speed of 31 m/s is making a turn with a radius of curvature of 4 m (this is the radius of the "kissing circle"). The object's momentum has a magnitude of 87 kg·m/s. What is the magnitude of the rate of change of the momentum? What is the magnitude of the net force? 2. Relevant equations p = mv [tex]\Delta[/tex]p = Fnet[tex]\Delta[/tex]t dp/dt = magnitude of V / R (sry dont know how to put that in latex) 3. The attempt at a solution Question 1: Velocity divided by radius? Using the 3rd equation, but the units dont check out.

Wow, and I thought the five-footer my friend shot in the desert with is .22 was big. That things a f@%kin monster!

1/4 cup cornmeal
1/4 cup cracker crumbs
1/2 cup milk
1 egg
1/4 teaspoon garlic powder (not garlic salt)
1 teaspoon salt
Dash pepper
Mix dry ingredients. Whisk milk into beaten egg and use to dip snake steaks. Then coat them with dry ingredients. Fry, uncovered, in 400 degree oil until brown.
Yum,Yum! It sorta tastes like chicken.
(I always wonder why folks just don't eat chicken)

No snakes is one reason my daughter likes living in Fairbanks.
We had to pull some security at Camp Gruber in Oklahoma with a couple thousand Katrina evacuees and had some issues with them roaming at night until we posted a pic of a snake about that big that had been caught on post

read the movie review
I didnt think I would like this title. Im not a fan of girl on girl action, but I do like some of the females in this cast, so I thought I would check it out. Much to my surprise, this was an easy watch, and be sure to read below to find out how the scenes shake out. Christie Lee & Sativa Rose [ /image ] --> [ /image ] --> Sativa is a Big nose, Thick Lip, puffy breast bitch, and I love her. She is so sexy, and brings so much heat to her work, you cant sleep on her talent. If she did IR, she would most likely be my favorite performer. Christie Lee looks good, but I have seen her look better. Neither girl looks to excited to be with the other, but they manage to masturbate with each other in spit of it all. This was a slow starter, but Sativa saved the day with her trademark nastiness. Solid start to this title. Female Looks 8/10 Sex Rating 7/10 Jennifer Luv, Olivia O Lovely & Lani Lei [ /image ] --> [ /image ] --> [ /image ] --> Jennifer and Olivia are two beautiful women, who lack heat and passion on screen.
morbidthoughts' review on 10/4/2004
read the movie review
Normally, lesbian scenes bore the hell out of me. I'm a heterosexual male. My imagination is very limited. When I see two girls by themselves in a scene, my mind wants to shut down because most porn actresses are not really lesbian and I'm not one either. I thought the whole point of fantasizing about two girls is to be in the middle. This movie is what the fantasy is really about. Lesbian sex interrupted by a cock. Yeah! Christie Lee, Sativa Rose, and Brad Baldwin: Canadian Christie and Mexican-American Sativa are fine exhibits for NAFTA. They can cross my borders any time they want. Christie is wearing black lingerie while Sativa has contrasting whites. They play with each other for a while with toys in the mix. The most striking thing about these two are their hair. Christie's is longer than in her previous film and Sativa's raven black hair.... ohhh who am I kidding. I'm not a hair dresser. Sativa's boobs do the trick. Ten minutes into the scene and these girls are still going strong without a cock.

Grooming for Ephraim Manti and Twelve mile has come to an end. The weather has not cooperated with us much this season. At this time we will not be doing any more grooming until next season. Enjoy the snow that is there and lets hope for conitued snow in the higher elevations for you to enjoy.

Ephraim Canyon was groomed on 2/11/14 all the way to Skyline Drive. There was about a foot of new snow from the last time it was groomed. There was an avalanche just up canyon from Bluebell that covered the trail. I was able to groom past it but it left the trail a little rough in that spot. So slow down and use caution in that area. The snow is very unstable right now and there is a very high avalanche danger. Use caution when riding anywhere in the Manti-Skyline area. To get current avalanche conditions visit the website of the Utah Avalanche Center at utahavalanchecenter.org Also to remember to wear your beacon and know how to use it when out riding. Be safe out there.
Here are a few pictures of the avalanche

On 2-10-2014 and 2-5-2014 grooming was done up Twelve Mile. As of 2-10 there was approximately 24 inches of fresh snow that was being pushed by the snowcat. Snow conditions are considerably better than last week. There is not much riding pressure, so there is plenty of untouched areas to play. Be careful though as avalanche dangers are still very high.

What are your plans for this year?

Re: What are your plans for this year?
There are a few things I want to get done this year:
New Job - I'm currently a substitute Custodian at a school district that doesn't pay very much and offers no benefits. I really need to get a move on on actually starting my career and working a lot more. That might happen as I do have my first job interview lined up for tomorrow
New Car - My old car might be falling apart so by the end of the year I'm probably going to be in the market to get a new one.
Getting a physical - This one will probably happen next week. I recently changed health insurances (The one I had was starting to get too high in terms of paying the monthly premiums) and I just got approved. Will go get the check up next week. Haven't had one in over 6 years
Meet new people and possibly find a girlfriend - I'm not the most socially active person, but I don't have many friends or live as actively as I would like. That needs to change. Even if I don't find a girlfriend, I should wake up every day knowing a good day is ahead of me. I'm not there yet.
Happy New Year all and good luck with your goals.

Why the 2015 BMW X4 Matters:
The 2015 BMW X4 is a new 'sports activity coupe' that will slot in between the more-practical BMW X3 and BMW X5 SUVs. We say 'more practical' because the new BMW X4 is all about style: its sloped roof cuts into rear seat headroom and cargo space, all in the name of sparking up the passions of drivers and passersby. The BMW X4 is an experiment that tackles a traditionally slow-selling segment, as the larger BMW X6 'coupe' has seen only modest success in its lifetime.
New 2015 BMW X4: What's New
The 2015 BMW X4's looks are essentially the entire story, as the rest of the crossover's platform and mechanical details are borrowed from the X3. You get the same gasoline engine options (240 horsepower, 2.0-liter turbocharged four-cylinder or 300 horsepower, 3.0-liter turbocharged six-cylinder) along with an eight-speed automatic transmission and standard all-wheel drive. The BMW X4's body has been buffed up to present a more muscular appearance to go along with its plunging roofline, and the vehicle can also be ordered in M Sport trim for extra speedy styling.
New 2015 BMW X4: What Autobytel Thinks
The 2015 BMW X4 is the answer to a question accountants were asking: namely, how many more segments can BMW expand existing architectures into in an effort to recoup development costs and maintain sales momentum. Whether there is an audience for this type of vehicle remains to be seen, as its closest would-be competitor, the Acura ZDX, unceremoniously left the market last year due to extreme consumer apathy. A higher price tag than the X3 might add exclusivity, but it may also prove too bitter a pill to swallow for customers already smarting from the X4's lack of interior space.
