Started to head out with the one and only Tarponator, as well as my cousin Jason at about 6:00 PM.
Ran out to 800-1,000 feet in search of the Dolphin everyone seems to be catching this week ... .....but no luck yet ... just a 7lb Black-fin Tuna
Decided it was time to hit the reefs at around 7:00PM with first lines and chum in the water by 7:15PM. Bite was on fire for the first 45 minutes at which point the current died and we had to relocate about 2 more times before we got back on the fish
The second spot produced some fat tails which were extremely far back in the slick and a ton of BLUEFISH for anyone interested in catching those.
All in all it was a beautiful night out on the water w/ great company and loads of fish
The tails are chewin' - Tight lines out there.
For anyone silly enough to consider keeping undersize fish ... here's a formal warning that FWC is actively doing their job out there ... if you know what I mean

Homicide suspect Dorner cites case in allegations; mountain search continues
BIG BEAR LAKE The hunt for a former Los Angeles police officer suspected in three killings continued in snow-covered mountains Saturday as the LAPD's chief said he would reopen the disciplinary proceedings that led to the fugitive's firing.
Officials will particularly re-examine the allegations by Christopher Dorner, 33, that his law enforcement career was undone by racist colleagues, Police Chief Charlie Beck said. While he promised to hear out Dorner if he surrenders, Beck stressed that he was ordering a review of his 2007 case because he takes the allegation of racism in his department seriously.
"I do this not to appease a murderer. I do it to reassure the public that their police department is transparent and fair in all the things we do," the chief said.
Authorities suspect Dorner in a series of attacks in Southern California over the past week that left three people dead, including a police officer. Authorities say he has vowed revenge against several former LAPD colleagues whom he blames for ending his career. The killings and threats that Dorner allegedly made in an online rant have led police to provide protection to 50 families, Beck said.
A captain named a target in the manifesto posted on Facebook told the Orange County Register he hasn't stepped outside his house since learning of the threat, and was taking it seriously.
"From what I've seen of (Dorner's) actions, he feels he can make allegations for injustice and justify killing people and that's not reasonable," said Capt. Phil Tingirides, who chaired a board that stripped Dorner of his badge.
Saturday was the third full day of a massive multiagency hunt for Dorner in the San Bernardino Mountains, about 80 miles northeast of downtown Los Angeles, where Dorner's burned-out pickup truck was discovered Thursday. A scaled-back search party took advantage of a break from stormy weather to search for Dorner using heat-sensing helicopters as vacationing families and weekend skiers frolicked nearby. A law enforcement officer told The Associated Press authorities found weapons in the truck. The officer spoke on condition of anonymity because the probe is ongoing.
Investigators have been examining the truck to determine if it broke down or was set ablaze as a diversion. Police say the truck had a broken axle. Investigators are trying to determine whether it was broken when they found it, or whether it was damaged when it was towed away.
On Friday night, authorities served a search warrant and collected evidence from a Buena Park storage unit as part of their investigation. Irvine police Lt. Julia Engen wouldn't elaborate on the nature of evidence or who had rented the unit.
Earlier Friday, another warrant was served at a La Palma house in Orange County belonging to Dorner's mother. Officers collected 10 bags of evidence, including five electronic items.
In his online manifesto, Dorner vowed to use "every bit of small-arms training, demolition, ordnance and survival training I've been given" to bring "warfare" to the LAPD and its families.
Dorner served in the Navy, earning a rifle marksman ribbon and pistol expert medal. He was assigned to a naval undersea warfare unit and various aviation training units, according to military records. He took leave from the LAPD for a six-month deployment to Bahrain in 2006 and 2007.
Feb. 1 was his last day with the Navy and also the day CNN's Anderson Cooper received a package that contained a note on it that read, in part, "I never lied." A coin riddled with bullet holes that former Chief William Bratton gave as a souvenir was also in the package. Police said it was a sign of planning by Dorner before the killing began.

Good morning. Would you like to be buddies? I hope you enjoy your day.
ef...I thought you would like to see this after your post on Fracking. __ Part 1 "Hydraulic fracturing has been used commercially since 1949, and there have been no known cases of drinking water contamination. In Oklahoma, the practice is already regulated by the Oklahoma Corporation Commission, the state agency that oversees the oil and natural gas industry. Similar agencies oversee hydraulic fracturing in other energy-producing states, and these state entities can respond more quickly than any federal agency to issues that require immediate regulatory attention."
Part 2 "The best scenario is the same scenario the EPA found in 2004, when the federal agency found no evidence fracking threatens drinking water. Just one week ago, Steve Heare, director of EPA's Drinking Water Protection Division, said he hadn't seen any documented cases that hydraulic fracturing contaminated water supplies. Hydraulic fracturing is a safe, well-regulated practice that is the key to increased natural gas production in America and a healthy energy economy in Oklahoma."

- "Is that what you tell yourself at night? That you're a servant of justice? That you were avenging my father when you shoved your sword in Aerys Targaryen's back?"
- ―Eddard Stark to Jaime Lannister
Regicide, also known as kingslaying, is the deliberate act of murdering a monarch and is considered the most severe crime in the Seven Kingdoms. Whoever commits it is dubbed a kingslayer.
Somewhat like kinslaying, incest, or violating guest right, anyone who kills a king is believed to be cursed. Because the King of the Andals and the First Men is blessed by the High Septon of the Faith of the Seven at his coronation, it is considered a heinous crime in that religion to kill the king who sits the Iron Throne.
Known and alleged kingslayers
- "Perhaps you should speak to me more softly then. Monsters are dangerous - and just now, kings are dying like flies."
- ―Tyrion Lannister to King Joffrey Baratheon after the Red Wedding
- Ser Jaime Lannister, perhaps the most notable example of a kingslayer, who killed Aerys II Targaryen during the Sack of King's Landing. Jaime's actions were considered especially heinous, as he was in fact a member of Aerys' own Kingsguard, and took a holy vow to lay down his life in defence of his king[1] Jaime killed Aerys in order to foil his scheme to destroy King's Landing, but since he never revealed it to anyone (except recently to Brienne) - everyone assumed he killed Aerys so the Lannisters would seize the throne. It is unknown whether Jaime would still bear the stigma of kingslayer if he revealed his real motive.
- Khal Drogo murdered Viserys Targaryen by pouring molten gold onto his head. Despite technically being the rightful king of Westeros, Viserys himself was an exile at the time, and never actually sat upon the Iron Throne.[2]
- Queen Cersei Lannister, along with her cousin Lancel, conspired to bring about the death of her husband King Robert Baratheon. On Cersei's instruction Lancel replaced the wine in the king's flask with a stronger, fortified vintage, causing Robert to quickly descend into an intoxicated state, dulling his reflexes, and ultimately leading him to suffer a fatal wound upon a boar's tusk.[3]
- King Stannis Baratheon, who conceives a shadow assassin with Melisandre to kill his brother Renly. This may not be considered a true example of kingslaying, as Renly himself was a usurper, and was in open rebellion against his elder brother, the rightful king. Moreover, Renly never officially sat upon the Iron Throne.[4]
- Lord Roose Bolton betrayed and personally murdered his own King, Robb Stark, during the massacre known as the "Red Wedding".[5]
In the books
In the A Song of Ice and Fire novels, the taboo against kingslaying is much the same.

Computerized Placement Testing
Shippensburg University offers computerized placement testing in math and reading via ACCUPLACER, a test created by the College Board. We conduct computerized testing on numerous occasions during the late winter and spring. No special computer skills are necessary to take these tests. If you feel uncomfortable about computerized testing, a computer tutorial is available via http://www.collegeboard.org/.
TimingThe computerized tests are untimed. Plan on a maximum of two hours if you need to take both the reading and math tests. However, most students finish their exams in less time.
Students with a writing SAT of 445 or above will be placed into ENG 106: Writing Intensive First Year Seminar.
Transfer students without a college level math or writing/composition course may be required to complete placement testing in the respective area(s).
Test Materials
We will provide all necessary materials. Calculators are neither required nor permitted. If needed, a "pop-up" calculator will be provided in the test.ResultsYou will receive your results in math and reading immediately after testing.RetestingRetests are rarely given and then only under special circumstances. Students who qualify for a retest will be informed.Accommodations for Students with Special NeedsIf you have a learning difference or if you need special testing accommodations, you should contact the Office of Disability Services, Horton Hall 120, 717-477-1329 or 717-477-1364, as soon as possible. To be eligible for accommodations, you must file the appropriate documentation with Disability Services before testing.

Reading Comprehension Test
The Reading Comprehension Test requires you to understand what you read, to critically analyze the main ideas of a passage, and to draw inferences. Test questions consist of two types. The first type includes both long and short reading passages with questions based on the text. The second type involves sentence relationships. Two sentences are presented followed by a question about the relationship between the two sentences. For example, a question may ask if the statement in the second sentence supports that in the first, if it contradicts it, or if it repeats the same information. A passing score requires no further action; a developmental score requires you to participate in a special course, RDG 050: Reading and Study Skills. RDG 050 is designed to improve your reading skills.Mathematics Placement TestYour test results will determine your eligibility to enroll in college-level math courses.

In this case there is the added question of mental problems but even here the liberals must take responsibility for closing institutions to protect the ill and the public. The atheistic Left has done its best to red America of its Christian heritage and introduce multiculturalism that denies Truth, Justice and the American Way.

Fordham Foundry
, a collaborative program between New York City's
Department of Small Business Services
(SBS) and Fordham Schools of Business' Center for Entrepreneurship, welcomed friends, students and partners to an open house on March 20.
The gathering was held at a 30,000-square-foot facility adjacent to Fordham's Rose Hill campus that combines in a single location the Foundry, NYC Business Solutions services, and Workforce1 Career Center services for job seekers.
Joseph M. McShane, S.J., president of Fordham, called the Foundry, which is part of the Gabelli School of Business, a great example of how the University is recommitting itself to the Bronx.
From the offices' 7th floor, north-facing windows, he pointed out Montefiore Medical Center, 1.5 miles away yet easily visible as the host of Fordham's WFUV radio station antenna. The medical center is also close to Mosholu Parkway, where fashion icons Ralph Lauren and Calvin Klein both grew up. They are examples of the entrepreneurial spirit of the borough that the Foundry will tap, he said.
"Ogden Nash was wrong. 'The Bronx? No Thonx' is wrong. It's yes to the Bronx, because it's yes to the future," he said.
"This is a day for celebration. Never doubt the Bronx. Never underestimate the Bronx, never sell the Bronx short."

Center co-directors Christine Janssen-Selvadurai, Ph.D., director of the entrepreneurship program at Gabelli, and Mitchell Fillet, lecturer in finance in the Schools of Business, also spoke, with Janssen-Selvadurai highlighting the Foundry's goals:
• to support the Fordham community in developing and launching businesses;
• to create businesses that remain in the Bronx and spark economic growth and job creation;
• to serve the greater Bronx community of entrepreneurs.
Donna Rapaccioli, Ph.D., Dean of Gabelli, introduced three entrepreneurs at the gathering who are currently working with the Foundry, including Rhona Silver of CaterBid, who catered the event.
"What comes to my mind is the word promise, because everytime I'm in this space, I think about the promise that each of our students has," she said.
Robert Walsh, FCRH, '81, GSAS '83, commissioner of New York City Department of Small Business Services, recalled first sitting down with New York City Mayor Michael Bloomberg to talk about the partnership.
"We are a college town. How can colleges and universities open their doors to make our city a better place? As he always does, Father McShane said it's a shared value, not only what we need from the community, but what the community needs from us," he said.
"We're all in here together, and we could end up building something powerful."
Founded in 1841, Fordham is the Jesuit University of New York, offering exceptional education distinguished by the Jesuit tradition to more than 15,100 students in its four undergraduate colleges and its six graduate and professional schools. It has residential campuses in the Bronx and Manhattan, a campus in West Harrison, N.Y., the Louis Calder Center Biological Field Station in Armonk, N.Y., and the London Centre at Heythrop College, University of London, in the United Kingdom.

OCPD Citizens' Police Academy is invaluable
To the editor:
I would like to extend a big thank you to Lt. Tim Wakefield, Chief Griffin and the Oldham County Police Department for offering the Citizens' Academy.
This 10-week course was informative and a lot of fun. The academy was an eye-opening experience into the workings of local law enforcement. I continue to be amazed at how professional these officers act during interactions with the public.

That's your response for Sasuke knowing those techniques? that's wrong. Based on the manga, once you awaken MS or Rinnegan, your automatically granted those techniques that they come with & you train to master it, you don't need to see another preform them in order to do so yourself. Also, Madara would not use Preta Path to absorb chakra from Sage Mode Naruto directly because of the consequences, that doesn't mean he can't still absorb Naruto's chakra based attacks.
Proof, he's no different then Naruto & Killer B.
I've given proof and evidence supporting my claims while you only respond with your opinions and it's just that, your opinion & not factual. While some of my responses you could say are opinionated also, it's backed up by manga proof.

3T3 Phototoxicity Poster Presented at the 2013 SOT Meeting
This page contains supplemental information for the poster titled "Screening of Cosmetics Ingredients for Phototoxic Potential Using the In Vitro 3T3 Neutral Red Uptake Phototoxicity Test" (Abstract Number 1479 Poster Board 536) presented at the Society of Toxicology annual meeting in the poster session "Alternative High-Throughput Models I: March 12, 2013 from 1:00 PM to 4:30 PM". For more information on the 3T3 Phototoxicity assay, please visit the 3T3 phototoxicity assay section of our website.

Screening of Cosmetics Ingredients for Phototoxic Potential Using the In Vitro 3T3 Neutral Red Uptake Phototoxicity Test

Phototoxicity is an acute toxic response after exposure to a phototoxicant and either UV radiation or visible light (UV/VIS). Phototoxicity from substances applied topically typically occurs at the site of photo-irradiation. Phototoxicity is the result of direct cellular damage caused by a nonimmunulogical inflammatory response. Clinically, phototoxicity resembles an exaggerated sunburn (erythema, increased skin temperature, pruritis and edema). Phototoxicity reactions have been reported for both synthetic substances and those which occur naturally (eg., botanical extracts). Although symptoms generally subside quickly, the potential for substances used in topical products to cause phototoxicity is clearly of concern for manufacturers of cosmetics, personal care and other consumer products. Historically, the potential to cause phototoxicity from substances applied topically was evaluated by utilizing various animal models; however in 1997 the 3T3 Neutral Red Uptake Phototoxicity Test (3T3 NRU PT) was validated by ECVAM's Scientific Advisory Committee as an in vitro method for evaluating the phototoxic potential of chemicals shown to absorb in the UV/VIS range. To illustrate the utility of the 3T3 NRU PT as a useful screening tool in the safety evaluation of potential cosmetic ingredients, the results of the evaluation of 42 botanical extracts and 25 synthetic chemicals found to absorb in the UV/VIS range are reported. Most substances evaluated were found not to be photoxic in vitro; however, 9 substances were identified as potentially/probably phototoxic in the 3T3 NRU PT and were eliminated from further consideration for use as cosmetic ingredients. Several substances found to be non-phototoxic in the 3T3 NRU PT were formulated with other ingredients in a prototype cosmetic formulation and subject to clinical testing. No manifestations of phototoxicity were observed in any of the test subjects in the prototype formulation containing any of the substances identified as non-phototoxic in vitro.

Vehicle License Plates
Revision as of 17:23, March 31, 2013 by WildBrick142 (Talk | contribs)
this wiki
Vehicle license plates are introduced in Grand Theft Auto III with the player's ability to explore in a three-dimensional environment making plates viewable. The feature has very little use aside for cosmetic purposes.
License plates in GTA III and Grand Theft Auto: Vice City are static textures, with all plates in GTA III reading LC R29 (the LC could stand for Liberty City). In GTA Vice City, some vehicles retain the LC R29 plates; others have blurred and illegible versions of the Florida state plate.
License plates are dynamic in Grand Theft Auto: San Andreas, generating random 7 character license numbers that consist of both letters and numbers. The pattern is: two letters and two numbers, then a space, then a number and two letters (e.g. AA00 0AA). Each of the three major cities in San Andreas have their own plates and some vehicles have their own custom license numbers. Note, however, that during a session of play, all cars of the same model will have the same number plate (for example, all Landstalkers will have the same plates). These will change if a new session of play is started, even if stored in a garage.
For Grand Theft Auto: Liberty City Stories and Grand Theft Auto: Vice City Stories, license plates in both games feature an "LC" (Liberty City) and "VC" (Vice City) prefix, respectively, followed by a four-digit number. While still more varied than in GTA III and GTA Vice City, the games only offer a limited number of license numbers, with each of them specific to certain vehicles' models.
In Grand Theft Auto IV, license plates do not have an actual letter-number combination. Every vehicle that has a license plate has "LIBERTY CITY" in large blue capital letters. If a player zooms in with the analog sticks, or with a sniper rifle, they can see that it says "Liberty City State" . These license plates are almost an exact clone of the current New York license plates, as seen here. It is possible that the plates were intended to have a letter-number combination, much like the vehicles in Grand Theft Auto: San Andreas, but it may have been forgotten during the game's development. Trailers, however, have numbered plates. In Grand Theft Auto IV, the license plate from the beta version of the game can be found on the back of fuel trailers. (check the gallery below)
In Grand Theft Auto V , the license plates resemble the current California plates, but have "San Andreas" written on top instead. There are 8 random characters on each plate; the pattern is two numbers, followed by three letters and three numbers (00AAA000).
Custom plates
Custom plates are typically vanity plates featured on special vehicles, such as vehicles belonging to certain individuals or custom vehicles. Such plates has been seen in use in both GTA Vice City and GTA San Andreas. In San Andreas they cannot be saved in garages, if they are they simply revert to a usual seven digit plate.
- In real-life, the United States of America's license plates shows only the state's name and not the city's name like in GTA series. Only Grand Theft Auto V will feature the name of the state.

Extreme Makeover: Home Edition needs help in Bastrop
by Heather Rivera
posted Nov 28 2011 5:48PM
Volunteers needed to help the folks in Bastrop with a fantastic rebuild with 'Extreme Makeover: Home Edition".
Here's some 411 (KVUE):
Because Bastrop was hit so hard by the Labor Day wildfires, the show has chosen the city to be the location for one of their builds.
The project will start on Dec. 7, and the Bastrop family, who has yet to be revealed, should see their new home on Dec. 14.
An average of 3,000 volunteers are needed to pull off the entire project. Anyone with construction skills such as framing, roofing pluming, etc. are encouraged to participate as well as hundreds of helping hands are needed to serve food, pass out water bottles, pick up trash, etc. Volunteers must be 18 years or older.
*Central Texans are asked to attend a free community pep rally Tuesday night that will kick off the event. The pep rally will take place from 6:30 p.m. to 8 p.m. at the Jerry Fay Wilhelm Center for Performing Arts (in the main auditorium) at 1401 Cedar Street, Bastrop, TX 78602. The center can be reached at 512-832-8588.
*Volunteer builders and building supplies are in need to!

Education That Matters: Make A Difference with WGSS!
GENDER is a society's ideas about what it means to be male or female. Gender works with with other ideas like RACE, CLASS, SEXUAL ORIENTATION, to shape our lives. It influences how we think about relationships. It structures our decisions about work and determines how much money we are likely to make. It disrupts health diagnoses and treatment. It stigmatizes behaviors and actions. It even determines what we eat, wear, and buy.
And it has always generated action and organized movements seeking equality, worldwide.
The Department of WGSS enacts the Wisconsin Idea: that universities should produce knowledge and educate students in ways that serve real people. We study and teach on the lives of women, men, and sexual or gender identity minorities. We examine the ways that race, social class, age, and other socially constructed hierarchies connect to gender to impact people's real lives. We study how social change works and what social justice might look like. We use and teach students to use academic skills to make social change. We maintain the connection between theory and practice, issues and advocacy, throughout our curricula and in all our programs.
Join us on Facebook!
Our programs include:
In the tradition of Women's Studies and its sister disciplines, our courses approach problems and issues from interdisciplinary perspectives. They enhance courses on women, gender, and sexuality issues crosslisted in the traditional disciplines, and provide students with numerous opportunities to integrate their learning across their baccalaureate degree.

Will Jeff Immelt Be Larry Summers' Replacement?
In theory, the role of the director of the White House National Economic Council is to present the president with an unbiased range of economic opinions. Larry Summers didn't do that -- he promoted his own views instead. But what will his successor do -- and will it make any difference?

It's time for Singalong Storytime! An evening storytime with music, movement, great picture books, puppets, and a special musical guest. This time we'll meet the violin and our special friend who plays it. Don't miss it! Singalong Storytime is Tuesday, May 17, at 6:30 pm.
There are so many wonderfully fun stories about monsters that we had to have a singalong storytime all about them. We read Go Away Big Green Monster, Thelonius Monster's Sky-High Fly Pie, and considered the merits of The Monster at the End of this Book along with When a Monster is Born. Our very special guest was Mr. Steve who brought along Honey the Bear to sing along with Octy and all of us. Then we had a monster parade over to the craft tables and made big green monsters. Join us for our next Singalong Storytime on May 17 where we'll have more music games and singalong songs along with favorite stories, puppets, a special guest, and a craft.
Stories, songs, puppets, movement, musical instruments, a special guest, and a special craft - it's Singalong Storytime! I hope you'll join us as we celebrate almost spring time with fun stories and a special craft about monsters (the fun kind, not the scary kind). This month's special guest is... a surprise! You'll have to come to find out who it is. We'll ask our special guest to sing along with us and Octy the Octopus who, as you know, speaks with musical notes, not with words as you and I do.
Join us for a fun almost-springtime evening of fun at the library!
What a great time was had by all when Jim Gill came to the Van Deusen Auditorium! Jim performed audience favorites while children and families clapped, danced, and sang along. When he presented his new picture book, A Soup Opera, the whole audience had the chance to be opera singers complete with sound effects and a musical score.
Jim Gill leaves people feeling like they attended something more than a concert. With wordplay and movement opportunities, Jim leads families in playing together with music and movement. He has a unique ability to get everyone in the room participating in songs and musical movement games.
Take a look at upcoming events for children and families at the KPL children's program calendar.
Here's a quick listing of great events for children and families coming up at KPL!
And there's more to come in March! Have a look at all the upcoming events at Kalamazoo Public Library and save some dates with fun!
At Sing Along Storytime, we sang call-and-response songs, shared some great read aloud stories, and made crafts about the cow that jumped over the moon. We also met Octy the Musical Octopus (who speaks with musical notes) and Octy's new friend Inky. Now Octy and Inky are off travelling to who-knows-where in their yellow suitcase. Inky promised to send a postcard, so check back here at the Kids' Stuff blog for updates about their trip! Bon voyage, Octy and Inky! Maybe Octy and Inky will be back from their big trip by the time we have our next evening Sing Along Storytime in May. Let us know your favorite sing along songs by replying to this blog post. Then, we can sing them together.
There are more and more great books with CDs or DVDs included. What a great idea! A picture book based on a song with a CD to sing along. A picture book with a DVD might have a short video or animated feature that enhances the book for you and your child to enjoy together.

Aston Martin takes double class podium
Aston Martin triumphed over adversity in the closing hours of the 38th ADAC Nürburgring 24-hour race in Germany after encountering a number of challenges in a highly eventful final quarter of the race (May 16th, 2010). Featuring the AMVOX2 Transponder on its livery, the new four-door Rapide, recorded a hugely impressive podium finish in the SP8 class after running faultlessly throughout the 24-hours. Meanwhile, featuring the latest AMVOX5 World Chronograph on its livery, the factory-entered V12 Vantage having spent time out of the race owing to a combination of driveshaft and fuel pump issues mounted a dramatic comeback thanks to a blend of impressive lap times, efficient team work and a little help from another Aston Martin. After taking the wheel for the final stint in the Rapide, Aston Martin Chief Executive, Dr Ulrich Bez said: "Our main objective was to come here with our new four-door Rapide, just as we would with any of our sports cars and prove its ability and reliability in what I strongly believe is the toughest race in the world. The car we ran in this race featured some weight savings, a standard production six-speed automatic gearbox, standard engine and FIA approved safety modifications. We have succeeded in what we set out to achieve." Since 2004, Jaeger-LeCoultre and Aston Martin share the same passion for precision and excellence. Discover more images, sign up for LeClub.

Solar Cooker Workgroup Sliedrecht NL
this wiki
During its starting period the work group produced over 150 cookers in order to prove that cooking by sunrays would be possible. Since that time lots of experiments have been done and several projects with the cooker are going on now. During this process an enormous amount of knowledge has been acquired. Apart from the Parabole Cooker and the Cookit the work group thinks cooking by sunrays with the Dierkx type Box Cooker (with its slanting window) the best way in most cases.
The services provided by the work group: ~ giving advice whether introduction is possible in a certain area; ~ providing drawings and advice about the various materials; ~ providing a folding device to make inner boxes; ~ providing a cooker for experimenting; ~ providing money for a project introducing the solar cooker;
News and recent developments
- September 2012: During the past months the workgroup Solar Cookers Sliedrecht (The Netherlands) has been busy with training people in building and introducing the Dierkx type box cookers, model BC 65 and BC 122. The cookers are built during workshops in Sliedrecht. This year a few projects will recieve money to raise a micro credit to acquire box cookers. In the Hungarian village Gerde as a test a project is supported to provide a whole village with box cookers. For people in Holland who want to build there own box cooker to use it on campings for example, this year we have developed a do-it-yourself kit. The kit contains the inside en outside box, with an oven thermometer, and a DVD with instructions and drawings for completing the cooker at home.
- February 2012: The workgroup Solar Cookers Sliedrecht receives a yearly donation from a recycle shop in Sliedrecht in order to build and promote solar cookers. The group is still promoting the Dierkx type box cooker. In our opinion it is the best type of box cooker, because it is less dependent on wind and sun compared to the CooKit. As compared to the parabolic systems, we think the cooker has an advantage, because there is no need to stay with the cooker while it's cooking. For refugee camps the CooKitis a good solution. We think the Dierkx cooker is the best solution in permanently colonized regions. In our workplace we offer workshops to people who want to produce and introduce box cookers anywhere in the world. First we help them starting the project by providing those who have attended our workshop with money and materials to build 5 box cookers. Whenever we receive a positive response and when people seem te be willing to cook with the help of the sun, in the second phase we help them by providing money for building another 10 cookers. After that we judge if the project can be continued autonomously. An important condition for the help given by the workgroup is that during the manufacturing of the box cooker and the use of it, there must be a possibility of daily e-mail contact. Questions will be answered within 24 hours.
- July 2007: In partnership with Dutch organization Solar Cooker Workgroup Sliedrecht NL, Solar Serve (SLS) has developed a new solar box cooker for use in Vietnam. The previous SLS solar box cooker is made from wood, which is increasing difficult to purchase in Vietnam. The new cooker is made from aluminum sheets that are shaped using two molds, one for the inner box and one for the outer box.
|Two molds are used for the inner and outer box of the new solar box cooker
- March 2006: Mr. Vazja Racvieshvili spent a week in the Netherlands with Workgroup Solar Cooker Workgroup Sliedrecht NL (WSCS) learning to construct an expanded Dierx-type solar box cooker. The cooker — dubbed the BC.122 — is 122 centimeters wide, making economical use of plywood sheets of the same width. During summer tests, the cooker reached temperatures of 175°C. With tools and funds from WSCS, Mr. Racvieshvili will set up a small workshop in his village of Gurdzhaani. He believes that solar cookers can help reduce the cost of living in Georgia, a country with high unemployment.

The Smithsonian's clouded leopard cubs are
thriving. The male cub outweighs his female
sibling by about a pound.
WASHINGTON – The Smithsonian's clouded leopard cubs are thriving.
The cubs were born at the Smithsonian Conservation Biology Institute in Front Royal, Va., on Feb. 6.
According to the National Zoo, they just received their first vaccinations and their caregivers have adapted their diet so that it matches their needs and appetites, graduating them from bottle-only feedings to chopped, cooked chicken and a small feline diet recently.
Zoo officials say the male cub weighs almost 3 1/2 pounds and the female cub weighs just over 2 1/2 pounds. When the cubs are 3 1/2 months old, they will move to other zoos for breeding, as recommended by their Species Survival Plan.

Hot Chocolate Australian Tour
Thursday, October 24, Panthers Port Macquarie
Where you from, you sexy things? One of the most successful bands to come out of the UK in the 70's and 80's was Hot Chocolate – amazingly they had at least one hit every year for fifteen years – beginning with a John Lennon approved reggae cover of 'Give Peace a Chance' on The Beatles Apple label.
Founder members Patrick Olive (bass, backup vocals), Harvey Hinsley (lead guitarist), and Tony Connor (drums), are joined by new lead vocalist Kennie Simon, sought after keyboardist Andy Smith and Steve "The Beast" Ansell on multiple instruments to bring their slick and addictive disco music to life.
Expect their best known singles 'Every 1's a Winner' and 'You Sexy Thing' to get an airing of course, and they have plenty more hits up their sleeves to make it a big night of boogying.


text: Gemini Rue: A neo-noir detective game on an exoplanet Gaming 14 March 11 by Mark Brown Gemini RueWadjet Eye Games Some video game genres are like an endangered species. Their numbers are critically low and they're constantly on the brink of extinction. Take manic bullet-hell shmups and dusty dungeon-crawling roguelikes, which struggle to find relevancy in a world of online shooters and bird-flinging phone apps.Another is the humble point and click adventure -- once a staple of PC gaming and a money-making boon for publishers of franchises like Monkey Island and Broken Sword, they're now deemed as archaic and irrelevant as arcade cabinets and floppy discs.So, like capturing an ultra-rare Javan Rhino on film, we should cherish any last remnants of this long-dormant genre. Such is the case of Gemini Rue, a pixel-art point-and-click from indie developer Wadjet Eye Games.Gemini Rue is a future-noir detective story with a juicy dystopian twist. It's obviously been influenced by genre greats like Beneath a Steel Sky and the movie Blade Runner. It's even drenched in that same soaking rain that plagued Ridley Scott's film. Barracus -- the distant exoplanet where much of the game is set -- has an otherworldly atmosphere which provides a perfect excuse to set the game in a constant, mood-setting downpour.Fittingly, the game is more about investigations and sneaky detective work than the illogical item combinations that so often bog down games in this genre. You'll find out which apartment room someone's staying in by peeking at the mailboxes in the lobby or badgering the clerk on the front desk. Gemini always upholds a sensible, practical logic which hopefully means you can get through the game without resorting to a walkthrough. You'll play as two characters, often switching between them for narrative reasons. There's the comically-named Azriel Odin, a grizzled trench-coat wearing detective bloke with a bronchitis-sufferer's growl, and Delta-Six, an imprisoned lab-rat with about as much personality as cottage cheese. Unfportunately, it's those lacklustre personalities that let the game down at times. None of the characters, especially our two heroes, are particularly likable. Plus, the voice-acting just doesn't feel quite right, betraying the game's otherwise-professional polish. But, unsympathetic protagonists aside, Gemini Rue has all the ingredients for an ultra-gripping sci-fi noir story, including cosmic rehabilitation centres, seedy gangster offices and back alley shoot-outs. The game doesn't outstay its welcome, either. The excellent storyline is neatly wrapped up in just a few hours, making for a perfect weekend distraction. At £10 it's also the right price -- and for that you even get a commentary track from the developers. Still craving point-and-clicks? They's still a few out there -- on places like the iPhone App Store, Steam and Xbox Live Arcade -- it's just a case of finding them. Find a list of some that are worth hunting for over the page.

I know this is a very very basic question. For some software applications there are a large almost infinitely high number of test cases for an application. It is not practical to test all those test cases. How do we decide when to stop testing? (other than "when money runs out").
Glenford Myers's book The Art of Software Testing has a simple but well principled rule for this: Testing is complete when you have stopped finding bugs. Or, more practically, when the rate at which you find new bugs greatly slows down.
Bugs tend to "cluster" in certain modules and certain functions: The moment you find a bug in one, you know that you should look in it further for more bugs. To find bugs, you can use the techniques of blackbox testing, whitebox testing, and mutation testing. As long as you are finding bugs, you know that your testing process is working!
To visualize your progress, chart the number of bugs your team has found per day. If the chart slopes down, then you know the techniques your team is using aren't going to find them anyway. Of course, if you believe your techniques aren't up to par, then please read Myers's book an apply the principles.
Now, there is a chance that you might just be short of missing a new patch of bugs, and the rate of finding bugs would have greatly increased had you continued testing for a little bit more. However, if you believe your techniques are sound, this is unlikely.
The simple answer is it depends on the system. If you're writing embedded software for a heart monitor or safety monitoring tools for a nuclear reactor then the standard is far higher than if you're writing a blogging platform.
This is really a question for a good system tester (and I'm not one) but I'll give it a shot.
Your basic measure is going to be test coverage: How much of the application has actually been tested (both by unit test and functionally).
You need to assess each potential use case (and parameters for that use case) for likelihood of it actually being used (so you may drop edge cases), complexity (simpler things being less likely to contain bugs, or rather less likely to contain hard to find bugs), cost to test (in terms of time) and potential impact of a defect if discovered in that area (this is where the nuclear reactor vs. blogging platform comes in).
Based on that assessment you need to work out which of those are going to be tested and in how much detail. Once you have a list like that the team (including a product manager / project manager / user representative) can go through that list and prioritise based on the constraints you have.
One useful technique to think about is that you may also vary the use cases that are tested with each release. For instance you might have a list of non-critical test cases and test half of them with one release and half with the next (then alternate). This way you're increasing the total test coverage you get for the effort (though at the risk of regression bugs being introduced).
This could also extend to platform testing - if you support two database back ends (or multiple browsers) test half the app on one, the other half on the other and then swap next release.
(I think this is referred to as striping but don't quote me on that.)
And then the final thing to think about is not what you test but what you actually fix when issues are discovered. It's common to say "fix all bugs" but the reality is that there are time pressures and not all bugs are equal. Again, regular bug scrubs with all the relevant parties are the best way forward. This is particularly relevant where a bug fix may be particularly intrusive as the additional work in retesting and regression testing it generates may outweigh the benefit of the fix.
When the risk associated with the software's use has been reduced to an acceptable level.
"Program testing can be used to show the presence of bugs, but never to show their absence!" --Edsger Dijkstra
Something good to keep in mind when doing any testing, automated or otherwise. You can only prove that you haven't found any more bugs, not that there aren't any more.
But the more eyes you put on a section of code, the more confident you can be of its proper operation. Its a lot like Knuth's quote on optimization in that regard: you can test the wrong stuff very easily, and you can test at the wrong times in your development.
Essentially, you want to be covered in two big places:
If you wait till the project finishes, you'll indeed have a very large numbers of test cases. If you deliver continously, focusing on small deliveries, you'll have less test cases at each iteration and you'll be able to test everything. If you can't do small deliveries, then prioritize and start testing from the greatest priority and go testing untill you have to stop.
When the date of shipping has arrived. There is no end to testing for a software. But then again there is something known as schedule. You will have to test most of your functionality in the scheduled time and fix the bugs that you encounter. There is no way you can guarantee that the software is perfect.
If you're talking about unit testing and you're doing TDD (writing the tests first) then this is a non-issue: you just stop testing when the features are done.
In incremental TDD, you write a test that fails, then implement the smallest amount of code that can make it pass, then refactor. Keep adding tests in this manner until the method is feature complete.
Here's a great example.
The first things to test would be the "happy path", edge cases, and invalid inputs. If there will be more than one concurrent user, you'll need to test for concurrency issues like locking and race conditions. If the app uses external resources, you'll need to test how the app behaves when those resources are unavailable. After that, you can use the code to look for things that might cause it to break and test for those. When all of those tests pass, the cost/benefit ratio of further testing starts to go up, so it's reasonable to stop at that point.
It all boils down to a matter of confidence. Do you feel confident that the system is tested enough?
Obviously, "confidence level" is highly subjective since you can never feel completely certain, but certain enough -- and that is what we are looking for. For that, you need to create a list of indicators, commonly known as definition of done and should be something your whole team agrees upon.
Here are a few test related "Done-indicators":
If you can check these points, then you probably can say you have tested enough.
Never, I think you will never finish testing in a system.. there are sooo many variables you can't manage.
But, as we know, you can not test "for ever", so i think the limit depends basically on:
When the people that have to sign off on the deploy are satisfied.
or in some cases the majority of the responsible parties are satisfied.

Launching a startup takes a lot of hard work, and you do not know if the idea is going to be successful until it is often too late. The Institute tries to help Founders refine and test their idea before spending months or even years pursuing something that will fail.
In the following 30 minute video, ten quick steps are discussed to take an idea that you like and launch it for less than $2,000. The goal is to get to a "Ghetto Launch," where you test if you have both a good idea and a viable business. Once the idea is validated, the hard work begin.

These are the ten steps that were used to launch the Founder Institute. Since the Institute does not have an online or physical product that needed to be mocked up, we used Topicki to develop a prototype of the curriculum. Enjoy!
