Andy Wilson is in India at the moment reporting on cricket and had been for a while. He must have cobbled this together from second hand information.
Cricket has been designated as Andy Wilson's primary concern by the Guardian - the recurring motif of his occasional blogs since this arrangement was put in place was Wilson starting off each piece with an apology for being somewhat out of the loop. He himself grew so frustrated at the treatment of rugby league in his own newspaper that, on one occasion last season that I can remember, he demanded that his on-line bosses cut the blog stone-dead... My admiration for Wilson grew the more he railed against the treatment rugby league received from his own newspaper!
The piece itself is spare - as he has to cover a lot of bases in very few words. If he genuinely is "appalled" by the play-off system then he is duty bound to say so. The poster above who remarked that Wilson had to cobble this little piece together while reporting on the cricket from India is correct.
I hope it appeared in the newspaper and not just on-line - that, I'm afraid, is the current status of our game in the national press.

The Port of Savannah will weigh export containers at no cost to help shippers comply with new International Maritime Organization requirements for providing verified gross mass data to carriers.
The transportation management system software provider had been planning for the next stage of its growth since early 2016 by looking for opportunities to extend the reach and capabilities of its LeanTMS platform.
Air cargo craft operator Atlas Air Worldwide Holdings, which saw net income and revenues plummet year-over-year in the first quarter of 2016, said it expects earnings and cash flow to grow over time thanks to new agreements with e-commerce behemoth Amazon.
Registration takes less than 1 minute.
Meanwhile, the U.S. Federal Maritime Commission is calling for carriers and shippers to work together to find a solution so exports are not left on the docks for lack of verified gross mass documentation come July 1.
The proposed alliance would become a dominant player in the three major east-west trades, beating out total capacity currently offered by the 2M Alliance on those trade lanes, according to an analysis from BlueWater Reporting.
House lawmakers brushed aside calls at a hearing to slow implementation of the Verified Gross Mass rule, while other shippers said compliance should be straightforward.

Not a bad idea there from an organizational standpoint.
I think I'm gonna end up being one of those people who has a million WIP threads and never finishes anything. This map isn't for any game, though I might end up using it for something or another. Mostly I'm trying to cram in every terrain type and every piece of furniture I've made into one map so that I can have a single file to grab things from when I'm creating other maps. Also makes it easier to write a tutorial when everything is in a single image.
It's very rough at the moment, as you can see. I'm still fiddling with the overall design and learning how to make things as they occur to me.
Warning: file resolution is humongous.

As long as you are continuing to learn new skills it can't hurt
Yes, I'm very much the way you describe, nothing is ever finished and I get distracted by other projects. I agree with the others though, as long as you are learning, then at least you are getting something out of it. The more you learn, the faster you can complete a project, and the more likely you are to do so.
What program did you use for your map? If it's dundjinni, I'd heard that including all of your images in one map was the best way to start off, since otherwise you'd have to individually import everything time and time again as you created new projects.

St. Louis, MO (KSDK) - Two East St. Louis teens convicted of a host of violent crimes including kidnapping and robbery during their November trial will be spending the better part of their remaining days in prison.
Alon Monigan, now 20, was sentenced to more than fifty years behind bars, and his 19 year old accomplice, Raymon Denzmore received more than forty years in prison.
In November, both Monigan and Denzmore was found guilty by St. Louis jurors on charges of robbery, kidnapping, armed criminal action, and resisting arrest for crimes that occurred within a week of each other in January 2011.
Monigan was also convicted of additional charges of assault, attempted kidnapping and robbery.
Police say included in the crime spree, two women were abducted on Washington Avenue in which they were held at gunpoint.
Later that week while police were hot on their trail, Denzmore and Monigan tried to flee police in another stolen car, but a fiery crash into a parked vehicle and the front of a Hooters restaurant at Seventh and Chestnut Streets downtown resulted in both of the suspects being captured.

Bulimia Nervosa
Topic Overview
What is bulimia nervosa?
Bulimia (say "boo-LEE-mee-uh") is a type of eating disorder. People with bulimia will eat a large amount of food in a short time (binge). Then they will do something to get rid of the food (purge). They may vomit, exercise too much, or use medicines like laxatives.
People who have bulimia may binge because food gives them a feeling of comfort. But eating too much makes them feel out of control. After they binge, they feel ashamed, guilty, and afraid of gaining weight. This causes them to purge.
Without treatment, this "binge and purge" cycle can lead to serious, long-term health problems. Acid in the mouth from vomiting can cause tooth decay, gum disease, and loss of tooth enamel. Any type of purging can lead to bone thinning (osteoporosis), kidney damage, heart problems, or even death.
If you or someone you know has bulimia or another eating disorder, get help. Eating disorders can be dangerous. And willpower alone is not enough to overcome them. Treatment can help a person who has an eating disorder feel better and be healthier.
What causes bulimia?
All eating disorders are complex problems, and experts do not really know what causes them. But they may be caused by a mix of family history, social factors, and personality traits. You may be more likely to have bulimia if:
- Other people in your family are obese or have an eating disorder.
- You have a job or do a sport that stresses body size, such as ballet, modeling, or gymnastics.
- You are the type of person who tries to be perfect all the time, never feels good enough, or worries a lot.
- You are dealing with stressful life events, such as divorce, moving to a new town or school, or losing a loved one.
Bulimia is most common in:
- Teens. Like other eating disorders, bulimia usually starts in the teen years. But it can start even earlier or in adulthood.
- Women. But boys and men have it too.
While bulimia often starts in the teen years, it usually lasts into adulthood and is a long-term disorder.
What are the symptoms?
People with bulimia:
- Binge on a regular basis. They eat large amounts of food in a short period of time, often over a couple of hours or less. During a binge, they feel out of control and feel unable to stop eating.
- Purge to get rid of the food and avoid weight gain. They may make themselves vomit, exercise very hard or for a long time, or misuse laxatives, enemas, water pills (diuretics), or other medicines.
- Base how they feel about themselves on how much they weigh and how they look.
Any one of these can be a sign of an eating disorder that needs treatment.
How can you know if someone has bulimia?
Bulimia is different from anorexia nervosa, another eating disorder. People who have anorexia eat so little that they become extremely thin. People who have bulimia may not be thin. They may be a normal size. They may binge in secret and deny that they are purging. This makes it hard for others to know that a person with bulimia has a serious problem.
If you are concerned about someone, look for the following signs. A person may have bulimia if she:
- Goes to the bathroom right after meals.
- Is secretive about eating, hides food, or will not eat around other people.
- Exercises a lot, even when she does not feel well.
- Often talks about dieting, weight, and body shape.
- Uses laxatives or diuretics often.
- Has teeth marks or calluses on the back of her hands or swollen cheeks or jaws. These are caused by making herself vomit.
How is it treated?
Bulimia can be treated with psychological counseling and sometimes medicines, such as antidepressants. The sooner treatment is started, the better. Getting treatment early can make recovery easier and prevent serious health problems.
By working with a counselor, a person with bulimia can learn to feel better about herself. She can learn to eat normally again and stop purging.
Other mental health problems such as depression often happen with bulimia. If a person has another condition along with bulimia, more treatment may be needed, and it may take longer to get better.
Eating disorders can take a long time to overcome. And it is common to fall back into unhealthy ways of eating. If you are having problems, don't try to handle them on your own. Get help.
What should you do if you think someone has bulimia?
It can be very scary to realize that someone you care about has an eating disorder. If you think a friend or loved one has bulimia, you can help.
- Talk to her. Tell her why you are worried.
- Urge her to talk to someone who can help, like a doctor or counselor. Offer to go with her.
- Tell someone who can make a difference, like a parent, teacher, counselor, or doctor. The sooner your friend or loved one gets help, the sooner she will be healthy again.
Frequently Asked Questions
Learning about bulimia:
Being diagnosed:
Getting treatment:
Ongoing concerns:
The cause of bulimia is not clear, but it probably results from a combination of family history, social values (such as admiring thinness), and certain personality traits (such as perfectionism).
Your risk for developing bulimia increases if your parent, sister, or brother has the condition. But family history may be only part of the cause.
Stressful life events such as moving, divorce, or the death of a loved one can trigger bulimia in some people.
Many young women, such as those in college or high school, have unhealthy attitudes toward eating and toward their bodies. Socially, they may accept and encourage destructive behaviors like extreme dieting or binging and purging. These beliefs and behaviors are not normal or healthy. They can play a part in developing eating disorders that need treatment. Women who begin to severely restrict their diets in order to lose weight are at risk for bulimia.
Bulimia, like all eating disorders, is a complex physical and psychological condition. Recovery requires treatment that helps you change your behavior and also deals with the deeper attitudes and feelings that cause you to binge and purge.
Symptoms of bulimia include:
- Repeatedly eating large amounts of food in a short period of time (less than 2 hours).
- Frequently getting rid of the calories you've eaten (purging) by making yourself vomit, fasting, exercising too much, or misusing laxatives, diuretics, ipecac syrup, or enemas. Misuse of these medicines can lead to serious health problems and even death.
- Feeling a loss of control over how much you eat.
- Having binge-purge cycles.
- Feeling ashamed of overeating and very fearful of gaining weight.
- Basing your self-esteem and value upon your body shape and weight.
Any of the above symptoms can be a sign of bulimia or another eating disorder that needs treatment. If you or someone you know has any of these symptoms, talk to a doctor, friend, or family member about your concerns right away.
Bulimia and other eating disorders can be hard to diagnose, because people often keep unhealthy thoughts and behaviors secret and may deny that they have a problem. Often a person won't get evaluation and treatment until someone else notices the signs of bulimia and encourages the person to seek the help that he or she needs.
Other signs that a person may have bulimia
Common signs that a person may have bulimia are when the person:
- Is very secretive about eating and does not eat around other people.
- Sneaks food or hides food in the house. You may notice that large amounts of food are missing.
- Has frequent weight changes. For example, the person may gain and lose large amounts of weight in short periods of time.
- Has irregular menstrual cycles.
- Seems preoccupied with exercise.
- Often talks about dieting, weight, and body shape.
- Seems to be overusing laxatives and diuretics.
- Has low levels of potassium or other blood electrolyte imbalances.
- Looks sick
or has symptoms such as:
- Tooth decay or erosion of tooth enamel.
- Sore gums or mouth sores.
- Dry skin.
- Loose skin.
- Thin or dull hair.
- Swollen salivary glands.
- Bloating or fullness.
- Lack of energy.
- Teeth marks on the backs of the hands or calluses on the knuckles from self-induced vomiting.
- Feels depressed, anxious, or guilty.
- Shoplifts food, laxatives, or diuretics.
- Drinks large amounts of alcohol or uses illegal drugs and may have a substance abuse problem.
Conditions that commonly occur with bulimia, such as depression, substance abuse, or anxiety disorders, can make treatment of bulimia harder. Recovery from bulimia can take a long time. And relapse is common. If the person feels extremely discouraged, be sure to tell the doctor immediately so that the person can get immediate help.
In some cases, people who have an eating disorder may feel suicidal.
- Warning signs of possible suicide in children and teens can include being preoccupied with death or suicide, giving away belongings, withdrawing, being angry, or having failing grades.
- Warning signs and possible triggers of suicide in adults can include alcohol or substance abuse, depression, giving away belongings, a recent job loss, or divorce.
If you or someone you know shows warning signs of suicide, seek help immediately.
Bulimia is different from anorexia. People with anorexia weigh 85% or less of their normal body weight. But most people with bulimia are in their normal weight range. Some people who have anorexia make themselves vomit, but this is a different eating disorder. For more information, see the topic Anorexia Nervosa.
What Happens
Bulimia can develop after a person has followed a very restrictive diet. Binging may also be triggered by a stressful event, when food gives you a sense of comfort. Feeling guilty and ashamed of binging can cause you to purge to avoid weight gain. This starts the cycle of binging and purging that becomes a habit.
As bulimia develops, you may not eat at the beginning of the day. But later you may binge to comfort yourself, especially at the end of a stressful day.
Vomiting causes the body to release endorphins, which are natural chemicals that make you feel good. Eventually you may make yourself vomit even if you have not overeaten so that you can feel good. Soon you lose control over the binge-purge cycle. Repeated vomiting, fasting, exercising too much, or misusing laxatives, diuretics, ipecac syrup, or enemas will eventually cause serious, long-term health problems.
After bulimia becomes a pattern, it is very hard to return to normal eating without help. Unhealthy eating behaviors can continue for many years before a person seeks treatment.
If not treated, bulimia can lead to serious, long-term health problems. It is common for people to hide the condition from others for years. By the time others discover the disorder, many people with bulimia already have serious problems. These range from mild to severe, depending on the type of purging behaviors and how long they have continued. Health problems caused by bulimia include:
- Tooth decay, toothaches, swollen gums, gum disease (gingivitis), and erosion of tooth enamel. These are caused by acid in the mouth from vomiting.
- Osteoporosis .
- Electrolyte imbalances and changes in metabolism that can lead to heart problems, such as arrhythmia and even death.
- Dehydration, which can lead to weakness, fainting, or kidney damage.
- Inflammation or tears of the esophagus, which may cause bloody vomit.
- Swollen salivary glands.
- Fainting or loss of consciousness, usually because of low blood pressure.
- Low body temperature.
- Suicide risk when feeling discouraged about having bulimia or a relapse or about ongoing body image issues.
- Long-term problems with bowel movements because of laxative abuse.
Overuse of medicine (such as ipecac syrup) to cause vomiting can lead to diarrhea, weakness, low blood pressure, chest pain, and trouble breathing. A person can die from prolonged overuse of these medicines.
Other mental health problems often occur along with bulimia, which may make treatment take longer or make bulimia harder to treat.1 These conditions include:
- Depression , which commonly occurs with eating disorders and increases related feelings of guilt, anxiety, and obsession.
- Substance abuse , which occurs in about one-fourth of those with bulimia.
- Borderline personality disorder , which more commonly occurs with bulimia than with other eating disorders.
- Anxiety and anxiety disorders .
- Obsessive-compulsive disorder .
- Social anxiety disorder or other phobias.
- Panic disorder or panic attacks.
Although bulimia is a long-term disorder linked to serious health problems, it can be successfully treated. Most people who seek treatment for bulimia get better. About half of people with bulimia recover completely with treatment. 2
Although treatment is usually successful, bulimia is a long-term disorder, and setbacks can occur. A return of symptoms (relapse) might happen. But with ongoing treatment and patience, most people can eventually overcome bulimia.
Bulimia among teens with type 1 diabetes is becoming more common. These teens often lose weight before their diabetes is discovered, then quickly gain weight when treatment begins. Some learn that they can lose weight by skipping insulin doses. This causes poor control of their diabetes and can result in serious problems that can lead to blindness or kidney failure.
What Increases Your Risk
The risk of developing bulimia or another eating disorder is greatest if a person:3
- Has a biological parent, brother, or sister who has an eating disorder or who is overweight or obese.
- Has a family history of substance abuse.
- Is overweight and is starting a restrictive diet.
- Has certain personality traits such as perfectionism.
- Struggles with cultural and social factors such as admiring thinness.
When To Call a Doctor
Call your doctor immediately if you or someone you care about has been diagnosed with bulimia and now:
- Is not able to pass urine.
- Notices that his or her heart skips beats or beats slower than normal.
- Has severe belly pain, is vomiting up blood, or has black, sticky stools that look like tar. These signs may mean that there is bleeding in the digestive tract.
Call your doctor to discuss bulimia if you or someone you care about:
- Binges and then purges to get rid of food.
- Is concerned about weight and is embarrassed about eating behaviors.
- Shows signs of an eating disorder, such as secretive eating habits, a preoccupation with body image, or an unhealthy appearance.
Watchful waiting
Taking a wait-and-see approach (called watchful waiting) is not appropriate if you think you or someone you know may have an eating disorder. Call a doctor or an eating disorder hotline to discuss your concerns and learn what you can do to help.
Who to see
Bulimia may be diagnosed and treated by the following health professionals:
- Family medicine physician
- Psychiatrist
- Psychologist
- Physician assistant
- Nurse practitioner
- Licensed mental health counselor
- Registered dietitian
To prepare for your appointment, see the topic Making the Most of Your Appointment.
Exams and Tests
There is no single test that can diagnose bulimia or any other eating disorder. But these illnesses may have a visible effect on your health and eating habits.
If your doctor thinks that you may have an eating disorder, he or she will check you for signs of problems caused by your diet, such as malnutrition or starvation. He or she also may ask questions about your mental well-being. It is common for a treatable mental health problem (such as depression, anxiety, or obsessive-compulsive disorder) to play a part in an eating disorder.
Common exams and tests for a possible eating disorder include:
- Questions about your medical history, including your physical and emotional health, both present and past.
- A physical exam to check your heart, lungs, blood pressure, weight, mouth, skin, and hair for diet problems.
- Screening questions about your eating habits and how you feel about your health.
- A mental health assessment to check for depression or anxiety.
- Blood tests to check for signs of malnutrition, such as low potassium levels or other chemical imbalances.
- X-rays , which can show whether your bones have been weakened (osteopenia) by malnutrition.
A person can have bulimia and be underweight, average weight, or overweight. Most people with bulimia are in their normal weight range. Many binge in secret and deny that they may have a problem. These factors can make bulimia hard to diagnose.
People with bulimia often seek medical care for related health concerns, such as fatigue or stomach problems caused by repeated vomiting.
Early detection
Early, accurate diagnosis and treatment of bulimia can decrease the chances of long-term health problems and even death in severe cases. Unfortunately, there is no routine screening for eating disorders. It is common for a person with bulimia to try to hide symptoms, which can make it hard to detect. Most often a loved one thinks that there is a problem and seeks help for bulimia. It is common for a person to have bulimia for a long time and to develop serious health problems before anyone realizes that the person has the disorder.
Treatment Overview
Treatment for bulimia involves psychological counseling and sometimes medicines such as antidepressants. Treatment does not usually require staying in the hospital, although this is sometimes needed. Both professional counseling and antidepressant medicine can help reduce episodes of binging and purging and help you recover from bulimia. Both are long-term treatments that may require weeks or months before you notice significant results. You may need treatment with counseling and possibly medicines for more than a year.
Bulimia that occurs with another condition may take longer to treat. And you may need more than one type of treatment. If you have another condition that commonly occurs with bulimia, such as depression or substance abuse, your doctor may want to treat that condition first.
People who seek treatment for bulimia or another eating disorder may have other health problems caused by the disorder. If you have had bulimia for a long time without treatment, or if you have used substances such as laxatives, diuretics, or ipecac syrup to purge, then you may have a health problem such as dehydration that needs treatment first. In serious cases, these conditions related to bulimia may require you to spend time in the hospital.
Initial treatment
Initial treatment depends how severe the bulimia is and how long you have had it.
If you have no other conditions that need treatment first, then treatment for bulimia usually consists of:
Psychological counseling, such as
cognitive-behavioral therapy (CBT). This often
nutritional counseling to change certain behavior and
thinking patterns. The goals of CBT are to teach you to:
- Eat three meals and two snacks a day and avoid unhealthy diets.
- Reduce concern about your body weight and shape.
- Understand and reduce triggers of binge eating by examining your relationships and emotions.
- Develop a plan to learn proper coping skills to prevent future relapses.
- Medicines. Antidepressants, such as fluoxetine (Prozac, for example), are sometimes used to reduce binge-purge cycles and relieve symptoms of depression that often occur along with eating disorders.
Ongoing treatment
Continuing treatment will depend on the how long you have had bulimia and how severe it is. Continuing treatment usually consists of:
Psychological counseling, such as
interpersonal therapy or
cognitive-behavioral therapy (CBT). The goals of CBT
are to teach you to:
- Eat three meals and two snacks a day and avoid unhealthy diets.
- Reduce concern about your body weight and shape.
- Understand and reduce triggers of binge eating by examining your personal relationships and emotions.
- Develop a plan to learn proper coping skills to prevent future relapses.
- Antidepressant medicines. Antidepressants can help lower the number of binge-purge cycles you have and may also be used to treat another related condition, such as depression or anxiety.
Treatment if the condition gets worse
If you develop other health problems such as dehydration or an esophageal tear because of bulimia, you may need to stay in the hospital or in an eating disorder treatment facility.
Sometimes people with bulimia get discouraged because recovery can take a long time and relapse is common. If you or the person with bulimia feels very discouraged or feels suicidal, call a doctor or other health professional immediately to get help.
What to think about
Treatment with an antidepressant medicine alone may not be enough. The most effective treatment for bulimia may be a combination of psychological counseling and antidepressants.4
Eating disorders are hard to treat. Recovery may take months to years. The sooner treatment begins, the better the chance for a full recovery.
Unfortunately, many people don't seek treatment for mental health problems. You may not seek treatment because you think the symptoms are not bad enough or that you can work things out on your own. But getting treatment is important.
If you need help deciding whether to see your doctor, read about some reasons why people don't get help and how to overcome them.
There is no known way to prevent bulimia. Early treatment may be the best way to prevent the disorder from progressing. Knowing the signs of bulimia and seeking immediate medical care can help prevent long-term health problems caused by bulimia.
There are many ways that adults can help children and teens develop a healthy view of themselves and learn to approach food and exercise with a positive attitude. Doing this may prevent some children and teens from developing this disorder.
- Encourage a healthy view of self and others. Teach children to take good care of their bodies. Avoid making comments that link being thin to being popular or healthy.
- Have a healthy approach to food and exercise. Avoid punishing or rewarding your children with food. And be a good role model for healthy eating and exercising.
Home Treatment
Home treatment is very important for people who have bulimia. You will set individual goals along with your doctor, nutritionist, and professional counselor. Some of these goals may include:
- Practicing emotional self-care. Don't blame yourself for your condition. Pace yourself, and try to spend time with other people who care about you.
- Taking one day at a time. Remember that your goal is to feel better with each passing day.
Family members will also need to support the person's goals for healing. Learning about the disorder will be helpful for the entire family. Also, show support of a loved one who has bulimia. Offer support if the person gets discouraged about how long treatment is taking. Listen to his or her feelings.
Medicines such as antidepressants may reduce the frequency of the binge-purge episodes of bulimia. They may also be used to treat other mental health problems, such as depression, that often occur along with bulimia. And you may need antacids to decrease stomach acid or bulk laxatives such as Citrucel to replace the overuse of more harsh laxatives.
Medication choices
Antidepressant medicines are used to reduce the frequency of binge-purge cycles and treat any related depression or anxiety.
What to think about
Sometimes several antidepressant medicines are tried before finding the one that works best. Treatment with medicines is more effective when combined with psychological counseling, which includes nutritional counseling.5
There is no surgical treatment for bulimia.
Other Treatment
Several types of counseling may be useful in treating eating disorders. The two most proven types are:
- Cognitive-behavioral therapy (CBT). CBT teaches the person to understand the triggers of binge eating and to develop coping skills.
- Interpersonal therapy (IT) . IT helps the person examine the relationship between interpersonal conflicts and symptoms of bulimia.
Other therapies that may be helpful include:
- Nutritional counseling , which teaches the person to eat three meals and two snacks a day and to avoid unhealthy diets.
- Dialectical behavior therapy , which is a long-term approach that focuses on helping the person regulate emotions. Coping better with life's challenges and negative emotions should help you reduce the binge-purge behaviors.
- Group counseling, which may enhance individual therapy. Often it is helpful to speak with other people who have this condition.
- Family therapy . Family members can be very helpful to their loved one's recovery, especially for an adolescent with bulimia. Family therapy teaches about the disorder and ways to help.
Self-care programs
Organized programs that provide self-help materials, such as manuals or computer-based activities, may be useful in treating eating disorders. But most people who have an eating disorder also need counseling and possibly medicine.
Managing stress
Although it isn't part of the treatment of bulimia, relieving stress can help during recovery. Techniques for managing stress include:
- Exercising. Regular, but not excessive, physical activity is one of the most effective stress management techniques.
- Writing. Research shows that expressing yourself in writing can be a very effective way to reduce your stress level.6
- Expressing your feelings. Talking, laughing, crying, and expressing anger are normal parts of the emotional healing process.
- Doing something you enjoy. A hobby or other healthy leisure activity that is meaningful to you can help you relax. Volunteer work or work that helps others can be a powerful stress-buster.
- Learning body-centered relaxation. This includes breathing exercises, muscle relaxation exercises, massage, aromatherapy, yoga, and the traditional Chinese relaxation exercises called tai chi and qi gong.
- Learning mindfulness activities. These include learning how to relax your body through self-hypnosis, meditation, imagery exercises, listening to relaxing music, and using humor to reduce stress.

TETON Sports Outfitter XXL Cot - Finally, a cot sturdy enough for couples and large-framed people. The Outfitter XXL Cot holds several hundred pounds without sagging or bending. Though not exactly lightweight at 26 pounds, the cot is portable and comes in a durable carrying case with shoulder strap. The extra weight is well worth it for most car camping trips.
TETON Sports Outfitter XXL Cot - Count on a sound sleep every night with the Outfitter XXL Cot. The sleeping area is bigger than a twin size mattress and supports up to 600 pounds without bowing or sagging. Rubber feet have been redesigned to provide better protection for tent floor, and the whole cot folds into a sturdy drawstring bag for carrying or stowing. Comfortable enough to use as a guest bed, especially when paired with the Outfitter XXL Camp Pad (not included).

- Pack Weight: 26 lbs
- Bed: Heavy-duty 600D Poly Canvas
- Frame: Aluminum top surround
- Legs: Steel Leg Assembly
- Storage: Oxford with Drawstring Closure
- Color: Black
Scott of Casper, WY - August, 15 2015:
The cot seemed to be well made, but I returned it. It was too big for my use.Glenn of Moab, UT - August, 10 2015:
Got tried of sleeping on the ground with an air mattress so I thought I would try a cot. I'm 6'3 and opted for this large cot. It is very comfortable and strong. I really liked the design feature of the rubber bumpers on the leg axis. The only issue I have had with it is that the rivets that secure the leg axis came apart and I had to use screws to re-secure the bumpers to the legs and thus the 3 star rating. I always prefer shopping at Sportsman's Warehouse for its selection, quality, and price.Skip of Littleton, CO - December, 08 2011:
I am a 6' 4" 320 lb guy and have owned this cot for 5 years and use it many times every year when I go camping and I love this cot. Sturdy, strong and durable!!!!!!!!!!Jamie of Lynnwood, CO - March, 02 2011:
It's huge! But I love it. It is very sturdy and doesn't rock back and forth when moving around like many of the others do. Thanks!Joel of Idaho Falls, ID - May, 03 2011:
Very sturdy cot. When away from home hunting or camping a good night sleep is very important to me and this cot was wonderful. I am not a very big guy so I felt like I was at home in my bed. Great cot!Bobby of Sacramento, CA - October, 18 2012:
This cot is amazing. Not only is it huge, but it is very sturdy as well. When you add the Outfitter camp pad its like your sleeping on your bed at home, if you have a really nice and comfortable bed. I have never slept as good as I did while camping, then I did while on this cot. It is very easy to put together and to tear down and put away. It comes with a canvas bag with a handle and is pretty light for its size. I wouldn't be taking it backpacking, but if you are packing or driving to a location, it is definitely doable.Bill of Twin Falls, ID - July, 16 2011:
Huge cot and very durable. Quick and easy set up. Have had no problems at all and very pleased with the cot so far!Kelly of Riverton, UT - June, 21 2011:
I own two of these cots and love them. I am tall and weigh a lot and never had any problems sleeping on this cot. It is easier to set up then older models I had and easy to take down. Very durable and large cot. These things are worth the money and nothing really beats them for tent camping.Justin of Palmer, AK - July, 14 2011:
This is by far the strongest cot I've ever seen, with a rated carry capacity of 500LBs. 500! You don't have to worry about it breaking if you have a lot of gear with you and you decide to sit down after a long day of hunting. It'll take the abuse in stride. It's a bit wide, so make sure you have room for it in the tent, but otherwise it's fantastic.Tom of Anniston, AL - February, 07 2013:
I bought the XXL Cot, Pad, and Teton Sports 0 degree bag and I waited till I used it to do this review, I am a really big guy and this met and went beyond what I excepted. Company slept on it and gave it great comments. Delivery was fast and I am now a fan of Teton Sports and Sportsman's Warehouse.Harvey of Loveland, CO - June, 18 2011:
I am 6'6" and 300 lbs I love how big this cot is. But do not site on the end rail, It will bend like a twig. I have used it for 5 years on the range ride before finding this out.Jeff of Tucson, AZ - November, 28 2011:
Pros: Long, wide, comfortable, strong, solid, quiet. Everything you buy this one for. Cons: a bit big and heavy when folded, as you'd expect. Unwieldy and even bigger during the unfolding process. Had trouble setting it up inside the tent as it is momentarily much longer as you unfold the legs. Can be difficult to assemble until you get the hang of it (read the instructions!) and the fabric stretches out a bit. Have used it twice and it's comfortable and roomy for us XXL guys.JHart of Onancock, VA - June, 12 2014:
This is a good, heavy duty, man-sized cot. Keep in mind though that it is heavy and the large size makes it a bit cumbersome; however, it's worth it to have a good night's sleep. Add the perfect-fitting Teton pad and it is almost as good as a regular bed.MDman1 of St. George, UT - November, 12 2015:
It's a littel heavy but worth the moneyWilliam of Erie, CO - February, 03 2013:
I love the size and height. It is very sturdy. A very good buy.Jim of Medicine Lodge, KS - April, 25 2011:
I purchased two of these cots. They are solid with lots of room to change sleeping position. Built to last. Even my wife gets a good nights rest on this cot. Love them.ryan of sandy, UT - February, 29 2012:
i bought this because i have a huge sleeping bag. im glad i chose this one. this is top quality. i think 2 people can fit on this! its huge! now i have to get a bigger tent...... thats the only downsideBrianna of Idaho Falls, ID - July, 31 2013:
My 60 lbs dog, my 300 lbs husband, and my 220 lbs self all slept on this together and it held up fine. It was a little snug with all of us on it but it worked great. Its very comfy for a cot if you are on it by yourself. :)alex of fairview, OR - June, 05 2014:
Just a little advice for people buying ANY cot. If you are a large person like myself... 300 lbs+ don't point load your cot, I don't care how strong it is it will break. Point loading means to put all your weight in one area... distribute your weight over something that will carry your(our) weight. Sit on the canvas not the rail, your weight will be distributed over more area and hold up better and the cot will last longer. I hope I'm not offending anyone I just want a few select people to know that they can avoid breaking strong things by using a little logic/physics. Thanks, enjoy this great cot, it's strong as heck!! Holds me and my wife all night long but she doesn't want me to post her weight(we're well over the recommended total recommended weight of 500 lbs).Willy of Colorado Springs, CO - February, 06 2015:
Bought this bad boy 3 years ago and use the heck out of it. I'm 6'3 270 (too many smores) fit on it just fine with plenty of room to stretch out. Bought the pad to go with it and it is really comfy. Yea it is big and heavy and somewhat hard to get the second cross member to lock (use a axe handle for leverage). I toss and turn a lot when I sleep and this bad boy has the strength to take it. Yes it is hard to set up in smaller tent, big boys need big toys so buy a bigger tent.Ricky B of Mesquite, TX - August, 03 2012:
Bought this cot for summer camp. Loved it. I am big man and needed a cot worthy of my stature. This thing will give you plenty of room. Now I am saving up to buy the cot pad.Frank C. Martinez IV of Redding, CA - April, 15 2016:
This is a truly wonderful cot. This is the second one I've bought from you, since I wore the other one out. This is comfortable, wide and stays tight. This new one is even easier to set up. The only reason that I didn't give it five stars is because you've changed the bag. This bag is harder to get on, and it stays open to dust. I am going to get my old bag, which I still have, replicated in heavy duty canvas, and use that.Andy of Pocatello, ID - June, 29 2011:
I highly recommend this cot. . . it's pretty easy to set up and take down and has a huge sleeping area.joe of cedar city, UT - February, 07 2011:
well i got this cot 2 years ago. Used it 3 times one lag bent on its 3rd time out. I am only 335 lb. The ad said it well hold 500 lb it well not hold 335lb. So don't wast you moneyAntonio of Mesa, AZ - February, 04 2010:
Huge cot. Never felt the side rails on this one. Easier to set up then I've had before. Bulky and heavy though. Truck camping gem.kh of , UT - December, 06 2009:
Most heavy duty cot I have could find. Im 220+ lbs and had no issues with this at all. I like the extra length and the way the legs are braced. It's also doesn't creak loudly like others I have tried. I do wish Sportsmans Warehouse stocked some organizers to go along with them.Chris of Phoenix, AZ - January, 02 2011:
I'm a big guy, 6ft and around 300lbs. This is a very comfortable cot for me. Plenty of room! New it is tough getting the material to strech to get the end bars into place but after several uses it is easier.

The national netball team, Taifa Queens, will compete at an inter-continental tournament to be held in Singapore in December.
The tournament dubbed as the 'Six Nations Cup' will attract teams from four continents, namely Australia, Asia, Africa and Europe.
The deputy chairperson of the Africa Netball Federation, Joel Mwakitalu, said yesterday that Taifa Queens got a chance to represent Africa after emerging second in the Africa Cup tourney held in Dar es Salaam recently.
She said Tanzania is ranked second in Africa after Malawi who won the title in the championship staged at the National Stadium.
Mwakitalu said that if Taifa Queens will again perform well in the Singapore event, Tanzania will improve in world rankings.
Other countries which will send their teams to Singarope are Namibia, Papua New Guinea and hosts Singapore

Celestial prints are at the top of my list of trends to work into my wardrobe this spring. Their pastel, watercolor hues and geometric motifs make them perfect for a season of warming temps and budding flowers.
Whether it be leggings, shoes, tops, or accessories, I can't wait to get my hands on more pieces to make some far-out combos – but to do it without looking like a wannabe astronaut? That's the tricky part. Lucky for you, I'm here to try it out before you land yourself on a tabloid's "Don't" fashion list.
Out there
For a futuristic, space-age look, wear this print with a holographic clutch, studded bangles, and neon accents like a belt or shoes. I tried pairing a celestial crop top with a high-waisted neon green scuba skirt and a light-wash denim jacket for a casual weekend night out.
More grounded
Think this trend is a little too much? Bring it down to a safer level by pairing a celestial-print top with a solid basic, such as an ivory skirt or tailored boot-cut denim. Throw a blazer on top to make it office-chic.

Brother Moses Smote the Water, CD
The Klezmatics have always chosen the path less traveled in its 20 years as a band. And with a variety of lefty political messages injected into traditional klezmer music, there's no disputing its reputation as radical. This live effort is a collaboration with guest singers Joshua Nelson and Kathryn Farmer joining in on the fun. The Newark, New Jersey-based Nelson brings (believe it or not) a serious gospel music flair to four songs, turning the klezmer band into a fire-and-brimstone gospel group as he exhorts both the players and the crowd on songs like gospel standard "Walk Into Jerusalem." The remarkable pairing is more balanced on the rest of the album, but never better than on "Shnirele, Perele," a duet featuring Nelson and Klezmatics singer Lorin Sklamberg that has an ecstatic drama that bridges these seemingly contradictory religious cultures. The album's eight new songs and two hits is as good a collection yet produced by this band, and one of the most remarkable examples of genre-bending heard in years.

Neuschwanstein Enjoy a guided visit to the dream castle built by Bavaria's "mad" King Ludwig II. For Neuschwanstein, the model for Walt Disney's Sleeping Beauty Castle, it is said that Ludwig employed a stage set designer rather than an architect. The result is pure fantasy, stimulated by the King's fancy for Wagnerian music: from artificial grottoes to ornate rooms to dazzling views of the Alps from the belvedere. Travel to Oberammergau Travel to the town of Oberammergau, surrounded by lofty Alpine summits and known for its woodcarving industry. You'll admire the Parish Church and the many ancient houses adorned with frescoes painted on their exterior walls by the well-known local artist, Franz Zwink.

The play has been produced every ten years ever since. The entire town's population participates in the play, which is re-enacted in the Passion Play Theater, large enough to accommodate 4720 spectators. The open stage incorporates the natural setting into the backdrop.

His house has been a museum since 1880, where you can see personal documents, pictures of his family and his original instruments. Free time in Salzburg Enjoy some free time to explore today or consider the following optional excursion. Excursion to Hellbrunn Palace OPTIONAL Visit the grounds of the 17th-century Schloss Hellbrunn, summer residence of Salzburg's visionary but somewhat daft ruler Marcus Sitticus. The park contains the gazebo where The Sound of Music teenagers Liesl and Rolf danced. Watch out for the famous Wasserspiele, an amazing series of whimsical trick fountains designed by Marcus Sitticus himself for his amusement, as he inflicted his unique sense of humor on his unsuspecting guests. Visitors enjoy that same delightful torture as they dodge the showers that come from nowhere in this quirky repository of fantasy and fun. Highlights Professionally guided walking tour in Salzburg Visit to Mozart's Birthplace Meals Breakfast Dinner Overnight Salzburg DAY 7: Melk, Wachau Valley, Vienna Enjoy your ride in waltz time along the River Danube and through the scenic valley known as the Wachau.

See theHeldenplatz where Hitler announced the Anschluss of Austria to the German Reich in 1938. Schoenbrunn Palace A visit is included to Schönbrunn Palace. Schönbrunn was a royal hunting lodge transformed by Empress Maria-Theresa into the magnificent summer palace of the Hapsburgs. Outside and inside, the buildings form a dizzying display of Baroque and Rococo art, and the park with its fountains is one of the finest examples of 18th-century landscape architecture, much influenced by Versailles. Free time in Vienna This afternoon is free to plan as you wish. Visit Freud's house or the House of Music, a museum opened in 2000 which uses the latest in audiovisual techniques to offer unequaled, hands-on encounters with music making. You could climb the 345 steps of the Old Steffel, the south steeple of St. Stephen's Cathedral, to catch a bird's eye view of the city. You may wish to check out the Prater Amusement Park, immortalized in Orson Welles' film The Third Man and known for its Ferris wheel, the Riesenrad. A single revolution takes ten minutes and the view is grand!

Singer-songwriters at Volunteer State Community College will perform original works as part of the Spring Music Department Spring Showcase Concerts. Students in the songwriting class have been coached this semester by hit songwriter Clay Mills (Diamond Rio, Darius Rucker). Student musicians will also debut original songs that will be performed in Ireland this June as part of a travel-study trip. The concert features the Commercial Music Ensemble, the Jazz Piano class and the Bluegrass Ensemble, called Bluegrass Ablaze. The event coincides with the release of a CD highlighting original student compositions and performances. It's titled "The Men inside Your Radio."
The Spring Showcase Concerts will be held on Friday, April 27 and Saturday, April 28 at 7:30 p.m. in the Wemyss Auditorium at Caudill Hall on the Vol State campus, 1480 Nashville Pike in Gallatin.

Internal software developers are members of the software development team with access to change the software and some aspects of the software configuration. In many organizations, these developers will have the ability to modify any part of the software baseline. Some organizations have strict controls about what internal software developers are allowed to access in production, but others are more lax, allowing developers to make production changes.
A malicious developer is one of the most difficult threats to deal with, as it is extremely difficult to identify malicious code. A talented attacker will make attacks look exactly like an inadvertent error for plausible deniability. In addition, malicious code may be obfuscated to prevent easy detection. Some techniques include spreading an attack throughout a software baseline, using inheritance and class loading tricks to hide calls, and even formatting tricks.
Because internal software developers may have more access to production systems and more knowledge of other internal systems, they are more dangerous than outsourced software developers. However, because their actions can be tracked more closely and their job is on the line, many organizations trust them more than external developers.

- Blending and contrasting the artificial and the natural: Russel Wright's Manitoga
- Author(s)
- Huppatz, D. J.
- Abstract
- This integration of a 1950s domestic dining room with a natural environment, and the juxtaposition of artificial and natural materials, textures, and colors, were central design strategies in Russel Wright's experimental "dream house," Dragon Rock. For Wright, Dragon Rock was 'a designer's experiment, not only in designing a house, but in designing a home and the way to live in it'. Wright's experiment went beyond the house to encompass the surrounding environment, shaped by him into a woodland garden. He called the property Manitoga, derived from an Algonquin word meaning 'Place of Great Spirit'.

Instant chronograph
One of LeCoultre & Cie's first patents was to protect an instant chronograph counter device. Rather than advancing with each oscillation, the hand jumps from one unit to the next, thus improving legibility of the counter. Since 1888, when the system of intellectual property protection was created in Switzerland, the Manufacture has filed over 400 patents in all areas of watchmaking: complications, cases, power reserve, ruggedness, precision, etc.

SUN-LIFE Is an NGO founded by Stephen Pearson, by building on his earlier experiences introducing solar cooking in Ghana. The focus has been producing low-cost cookers based on the CooKit design. Involvement of the local residents with the production of the cookers has provided a foundation for the success they have experienced in training and introducing others to solar cooking.
News and Recent Developments
- May 2010: The SUN-LIFE sponsored Oven Festival was recently held in the Dangme East area of Ghana (80 miles east of Accra). Quite well attended, there were about sixty ovens on display, all locally made using the CooKit design. The oven components were salvaged and recycled from local materials. Only the aluminum foil, at a cost of $2/oven, needed to be purchased. The event was held in collaboration with the Community Directed Development Foundation, started by Professor Bosompem. Stephen Pearson was the only European present. Other guests included representatives from several government ministries. The festivities began with a procession of local "oven ladies" led by the local brass band. After introductions and speeches, there were competitions and prizes awarded for best oven, best recipes, best group, etc.

Healthy Eating: Cutting Unhealthy Fats From Your Diet
Foods like cheese, butter, sausage, and desserts may taste good to you, but they can have a lot of saturated fat and cholesterol. Eating too much of these unhealthy fats could lead to high cholesterol and heart disease.
Start with small changes first. Use heart-healthy olive or canola oil instead of butter for cooking. Drink fat-free or low-fat milk instead of 2% milk or whole milk. Pick leaner cuts of meat.
Use this topic as a guide for making healthy choices.
Unhealthy fats
- Saturated fat. Saturated fats are mostly in animal foods, such as meat and dairy foods. Tropical oils, such as coconut oil, palm oil, and cocoa butter, are also saturated fats.
- Trans fat. Trans fats include shortening, partially hydrogenated vegetable oils, and hydrogenated vegetable oils. Trans fats are made when a liquid fat is turned into a solid fat (for example, when corn oil is made into stick margarine). They are in many processed foods, such as cookies, crackers, and snack foods.
- Cholesterol. Cholesterol is only in animal products, such as eggs, dairy foods, and meats.
These unhealthy fats can raise your total cholesterol and your "bad" (LDL) cholesterol.
Healthy fats
- Monounsaturated fat. Monounsaturated fats are liquid at room temperature but get solid when refrigerated. Eating foods that are high in this fat may help lower your "bad" (LDL) cholesterol, raise your "good" (HDL) cholesterol, and lower your chances of getting heart disease. This fat is found in canola oil, olive oil, peanut oil, olives, avocados, nuts, and nut butters.
- Polyunsaturated fat. Polyunsaturated fats are liquid at room temperature. They are in safflower, sunflower, and corn oils. They are also the main fat in seafood. Omega-3 and omega-6 fatty acids are types of polyunsaturated fat. Omega-3 fatty acids may lower your chances of getting heart disease. Fatty fish such as salmon and mackerel contain these healthy fatty acids. So do ground flaxseeds and flaxseed oil, soybeans, walnuts, and seeds.
Even though it's better to eat healthier fats, it's still important to be careful about how much of them you eat. All fats are high in calories, so watch your serving sizes.
Test Your Knowledge
If I stop cooking with butter and use olive or canola oil instead, I can reduce the amount of unhealthy fat I eat and replace it with a much healthier fat.
This answer is correct.
Eating healthy monounsaturated fats may lower your chances of getting heart disease. Monounsaturated fats are found in canola oil, olive oil, peanut oil, olives, and avocados. Butter is a saturated fat.
This answer is incorrect.
Eating healthy monounsaturated fats may lower your chances of getting heart disease. Monounsaturated fats are found in canola oil, olive oil, peanut oil, olives, and avocados. Butter is a saturated fat.
Eating foods that contain saturated fats can raise the LDL ("bad") cholesterol in your blood. Having a high level of LDL cholesterol increases your chance of clogged arteries (atherosclerosis), which can lead to coronary artery disease and heart attack.
Trans fats also are unhealthy. Try as much as possible to avoid eating them. Trans fat raises the level of "bad" LDL cholesterol in your blood and lowers the "good" HDL cholesterol in your blood.
HDL cholesterol is important. It helps clear the bad cholesterol from your blood so it does not clog your arteries. A high level of HDL can lower your risk of having a heart attack.
Remember, your body needs some fat to be healthy. Use the example below as a guide for eating less saturated fat.
In general:
- Make less than 10% of your fat intake from saturated fats.
- Replace most saturated fats with monounsaturated and polyunsaturated fats.
- Lowering saturated fats to 7% can reduce your risk for heart disease even more.
If you're not sure how much fat you should be eating or how many calories you need each day to stay at a healthy weight, talk to a registered dietitian. He or she can help you create a plan that's right for you.
Test Your Knowledge
As I try to eat less unhealthy fat, I especially need to avoid trans fats.
This answer is correct.
Avoid trans fats as much as possible, because they raise your bad cholesterol. They also lower the good cholesterol in your blood. Trans fat is in many processed foods made with shortening or with partially hydrogenated or hydrogenated vegetable oils. These foods include cookies, crackers, chips, and many snack foods. (Look for trans fat on the Nutrition Facts label on packaged foods.) Restaurants often use hydrogenated oils for frying foods, so try to limit fried foods when you eat out.

(Look for trans fat on the Nutrition Facts label on packaged foods.) Restaurants often use hydrogenated oils for frying foods, so try to limit fried foods when you eat out.
Use the following chart as a guide.
|Food group
|Limit foods that are high in unhealthy fats
|Make healthier choices
|Meat, poultry, and fish
Regular ground beef, fatty or highly marbled cuts, spare ribs, organ meat, poultry with skin, fried chicken, fried fish, fried shellfish, lunch meat, bologna, salami, sausage, hot dogs
Extra-lean ground beef (97% lean), ground turkey breast (without skin added), meats with fat trimmed off before cooking, skinless chicken, low-fat or fat-free lunch meats, baked fish
|Dairy products and eggs
Whole milk and 2% milk; whole-milk yogurt, most cheeses, and cream cheese; whole-milk cottage cheese, sour cream, and ice cream; cream; half-and-half; whipping cream; nondairy creamer; whipped topping
Low-fat (1%) or fat-free milk and cheeses, low-fat or nonfat yogurt, egg substitutes, egg whites
|Fats and oils
Coconut oil, palm oil, butter, lard, shortening, bacon and bacon fat, stick margarine, peanut butter that has been hydrogenated (the no-stir kind)
Canola oil, olive oil, peanut oil, soft margarines with no trans fats and no more than one-third of the total fat from saturated fat, natural peanut butter that has not been hydrogenated
|Breads and cereals
Breads in which eggs, fat, or butter is a major ingredient; most granolas (unless fat-free or low-fat); high-fat crackers; store-bought pastries and muffins
Regular breads, cereals, rice, corn tortillas, pasta, and low-fat crackers. Choose whole grains as much as possible.
|Fruits and vegetables
Fried vegetables; coconut; vegetables cooked with butter, cheese, or cream sauce
All fruits and vegetables that do not have added fat
|Sweets and desserts
Ice cream; store-bought pies, cakes, doughnuts, and cookies made with coconut oil, palm oil, or hydrogenated oil; chocolate candy
Fruit; frozen yogurt; low-fat or nonfat versions of treats such as ice cream; cakes and cookies made with unsaturated fats and/or those made with cocoa powder
Tips for healthier meals
Try some of these ideas:
- Fill up on fruits, vegetables, and whole grains.
- Think of meat as a side dish instead of as the main part of your meal.
- Try main dishes that use whole wheat pasta, brown rice, dried beans, or vegetables.
- Use cooking methods with little or no fat, such as broiling, steaming, or grilling. Use cooking spray instead of oil. If you use oil, use a monounsaturated oil, such as canola or olive oil.
- Trim fat from meats before you cook them. Drain off fat after you brown the meat or while you are roasting it.
- Chill soups and stews after you cook them so that you can skim off the fat after it gets hard.
- To get more omega-3 fatty acids, have fish twice a week. Add ground flaxseed to cereal, soups, and smoothies. Sprinkle walnuts on salads.
- When you bake muffins or breads, replace part of the fat ingredient (oil, butter, margarine) with applesauce, or use canola oil instead of butter or shortening.
- Read food labels on canned, bottled, or packaged foods. Choose those with little saturated fat and no trans fat.
Restaurant meals
If you eat out often, it may be hard to avoid unhealthy fats. Try these tips:
- Order foods that are broiled or poached rather than fried or breaded. Restaurants often use trans fats (hydrogenated oils) for frying foods.
- Cut back on the amount of butter or margarine that you use on bread. Use small amounts of olive oil instead.
- Order sauces, gravies, and salad dressings on the side, and use only a little.
- When you order pasta, choose tomato sauce rather than cream sauce.
- Ask for salsa with a baked potato instead of sour cream, butter, cheese, or bacon.
- Don't upgrade your meal to a larger size.
- Watch portion sizes. Share an entree, or take part of your food home to eat as another meal. Share appetizers and desserts.
Fat-free foods
Sometimes a fat-free food isn't the best choice. Fat-free cookies, candies, chips, and frozen treats can still be high in sugar and calories. Some fat-free foods have more calories than regular ones. Eat fat-free foods in moderation, as you would other foods.
Test Your Knowledge
To eat less saturated fat, I'm going to try to choose leaner meats. I'll trim the fat off the meat that I do eat, and I'll eat skinless chicken.
This answer is correct.
You don't have to cut meat out of your diet completely if you want to eat less saturated fat. Buy extra-lean ground beef (97% lean), trim off fat from other meats before you cook them, and pick low-fat lunch meats.
This answer is incorrect.
You don't have to cut meat out of your diet completely if you want to eat less saturated fat. Buy extra-lean ground beef (97% lean), trim off fat from other meats before you cook them, and pick low-fat lunch meats.
Now that you've learned what fats to cut first, you can make healthier choices for meals.

TRON: Betrayal
A Gridbug is a digital creature that causes glitches. They can derez programs and cause havoc throughout an entire system. The size of a gridbug is not entirely known, but in TRON: The Ghost in the Machine (Issue 5), they were depicted as about the size of large insects. They usually appear in large numbers, as seen, for example, in the TRON arcade game. Their counterpart in the real world would probably be programming bugs that disrupt system activity. In Tron 2.0 Killer App it is shown that Grid Bugs spawn from hives.
In the movie, TRON, they have a very short appearance, as Tron, Yori and Flynn fly over a group of gridbugs in the Solar Sailer. Yori comments on them:
|This isn't going to be easy. If those gridbugs get us, we've had it.
In User Error, gridbugs make an appearance as AI. They seem to have the same traits as viruses, firing corrupted blobs at the player.
Although their biggest official appearance is probably the TRON Arcade Game, they have appeared in many things.
In the TRON app for iPod Touch or iPhone there is a tank game where you have to exterminate Gridbugs in order to move on to the next level. The Gridbugs apear light brown in the game. These gridbugs come in different sizes and are called drones.
In TRON: Betrayal, Gridbugs frequently appear in swarms that disintegrate buildings. They are seen as glowing blue clouds (though one panel shows them as having a more bug-like look). They are first shown chasing Flynn and Tron, who fled on light cycles. Another swarm almost results in the derezzing of Ophelia, but Tron saves her. Clu blames the ISOs for the later swarms, saying they may attract or even create the gridbugs.
Their appearance in the original film is confusing because they're never seen or mentioned after this scene. Earlier drafts of the movie's script allude to a big scene with gridbugs, but the scene was not a part of the final script. However, this explains why they were in the TRON arcade game - when the game was in development the movie was still in development as well. The developers needed something to work from, so pulling from the script that they already had they created the Gridbug Swarm.
The fourth draft of the script has little mention of the gridbugs as well.
We see Flynn looking back the way they came. Yori is at the controls,
with Tron beside her, his arm around her shoulders, looking at Flynn.
What about our friend - Sark?
Probably decided not to pursue us,
The Sea of Simulation is tricky..
lot of illusions...rough navigating.
Programs have a way of just...
disappearing here.
Not us, I hope.
(shakes his head,
indicates disk)
Not with this disk. I'm going to
check on the beam connection, Yori.
You two can keep a watch out for
grid bugs.
They were designed by the same person who designed the recognizer, John Norton.
Other Appearances
Tron 2.0: Killer App (GBA) features Gridbugs as enemies, and shows that they spawn from hives. Unless the hives are destroyed, a new Grid Bug will spawn for each one destroyed. As well, there is a Cheat option in the game that allows one to play as a Grid Bug in the main storyline. This game also shows that Grid Bugs can turn their head and blink.
In the rogue-like computer game, Nethack, Grid bugs are one of the many enemies, and often one of the first encountered. The in-game description of them is followed by a quote from the novelization of the film. In the tty mode of the game, where everything is ASCII, grid bugs are represented by a small purple lowercase x. In the visual version of the game, it appears that the sprite is the same sprite as the arcade game.

Creating Profiles
Want to create your own custom profiles? Thought up a mix-in that's not currently in the Funtoo profiles? Have an overlay with profiles and want to make it easy for people to use them? Well you've come to the right place. This article will show you how to easily add you own profiles. No more ugly hacking of parent files and other nonsense. Once you follow this guide, not only will portage easily recognize your profiles, they will also show up in eselect right along with the ones from the main tree.
How to do it
Rules to follow
- You will need a version of eselect that supports Funtoo profiles (already integrated into Funtoo Linux.)
- Your overlay must have a profiles directory. It must include a repo_name file with the name of your overlay.
- Your profiles must be inside of the profiles directory
- You need a profiles.eselect.desc file inside the profiles directory. See profiles.eselect.example in your Funtoo Portage tree for instructions.
- If you're creating profiles of types arch, build, flavor, or mix-ins, your profile must be inside a directory with same name, such as profiles/my_profile/flavor/new_profile, profiles/my_profile/mix-ins/subdir/profile.
- Currently NoMix (see profiles.eselect.example) is only supported for profiles in the same tree.
- If you're not using a standard Funtoo tree, you must ensure that your main Portage tree has profile-formats = portage-2 set in metadata/layout.conf in order for portage to interpret the <repo_name>:<profile> syntax.
Example of how to set up
For our example we will create a mix-ins profile called 'fake_pro' in a local overlay called 'local_overlay'. fake_pro will set the 'dummy' USE flag globally and also set the 'fake' USE flag on sys-apps/not-exist. We will then add the profile to eselect so it's visible when running 'eselect profile'.
Creating the profile
We will use
${OVERLAY_DIR} as the path to local_overlay. These instructions assume the overlay exists.
If you haven't set a name for your overlay, do that first:
# echo "local_overlay" > ${OVERLAY_DIR}/profiles/repo_name
Next lets create a directory to store our profile. Since we're creating a 'mix-ins' profile we need to make sure our profile is inside a 'mix-ins' subdirectory. This is a requirement in order to ensure that the profile will show up in eselect. If your not planning on using eselect then there's no requirement to use 'mix-ins'
# install -d ${OVERLAY_DIR}/profiles/my_profiles/mix-ins/fake_pro
Now that we have a directory for our profile, lets go ahead and add our settings. Global USE settings go in
make.defaults, package specific USE settings go in
# cd ${OVERLAY_DIR}/profiles/my_profiles/mix-ins/fake_pro # echo 'USE="$USE dummy"' >> make.defaults # echo 'sys-apps/not-exist fake' >> package.use
Note that no matter if your using funtoo or gentoo, profile settings all work the same. For more information please check the portage man page.
Adding to eselect
eselect reads from the file
profiles.eselect.desc in your profiles/ directory. Format is "Type Name Status NoMix" space-separated. For more information look in
# echo 'mix-ins my_profiles/mix-ins/fake_pro testing' >> ${OVERLAY_DIR}/profiles/profiles.eselect.desc
Watch the result:
# eselect profile list
