Disturbances that intensify with agriculture and/or urban development are thought to promote the spread of invasive plants, such as the clonal perennial reed canary grass ( Phalaris arundinacea L). To test this relationship and interactions among disturbances, we subjected wet prairie assemblages within 1.1 m2 mesocosms to invasion by Phalaris and addition of nutrients, sediments, and flooding. Species richness decreased with the application of sediments and/or flooding of 4 consecutive weeks or longer. Losses of up to six dominant and subdominant species in these treatments increased light transmission through the plant canopy by as much as 400% over the control. Light availability in July and September was a strong predictor of end-of-season aboveground biomass of Phalaris. Phalaris was also 35% and 195% more productive when nutrients were added at low and high levels, respectively. Multiple factors in combination were usually additive in their effects on invasion, but sediments and nutrients interacted with flood regime to synergistically increase invasion in some cases. A separate experiment likewise revealed a synergistic interaction between added nutrients and simulated grazing. We suggest that multiple factors be mitigated simultaneously to reduce invasion of Phalaris.

Honoured Guest by LaurenBehan presents us with an adorable scene, neatly detailed with a good sense of colour. ( Featured by STelari )
Very cool! Took me a second to find the "honoured guest," which makes this even better.
very cool
Wow amazing artwork! I love it! <3
So cute! and such astounding detail! Congratulations on the well-deserved DD! <3
How regal! Also, what kind of bird is this? The spot of red on it's face is very interesting.
Thankies! It is a "mutated" ring neck Pheasant. Because of the mutation, the ring is purple rather than white.
What a peaceful scene.
Very adorable! I didn't know frogs could look so precious!! The atmosphere is so inviting. Beautiful colors. Great detail and an awesome vision. Congratulations on the DD! You deserved it!!
Thank you so much, I am ecstatic that you like it! :3 This piece was fun and such a great learning experience.
Goodness, I didn't even know something that amazing was even possible with colored pencil.
Awh, thank you!
Lmao, I didn't either before picking them up for an assignment two years ago. They are gorgeous and really fun to work with, very much like painting with pencils.

Skip to comments.Whittington Back in ICU (FNC Reporting Minor Heart Attack)
Posted on 02/14/2006 10:09:50 AM PST by be-baw
I just heard from a local radio reporter (during Rush newsbreak at approximately 1:00 p.m) that Whittington "may have taken a turn for the worse," and was put back into intensive care.
David Gregory looks like a monkey--and he sounds like one, too.
Right, usually the greatest danger of longterm Afib is a stroke.
I really miss her and David Aman, too.
Listening to Rush. They just interrupted with "Breaking News" about this. Furious! I just called WBAP to complain.
Brit was clearly NOT happy with the hysteria displayed..
Now this doc on FOX is ramping up the hype...
REQUEST: For those who believe- please take a minute to pray for this man, VP Cheney and their families...
He is one of the wealthiest people in Texas. He is well known in Texas Republican circles.
I'm sick about all this, knowing how Cheney must feel. Yesterday I said he'd never forgive himself.
who the hell is this doctor on fox?
I cant believe how many medical facts they are getting wrong..the press I mean.
No. The answer from the Doc was a good one..........basically SO WHAT??
They'll treat it. It's not a big deal.
Who is this doctor? She's critical of the doctors in the hospital and she hasn't even seen this guy?
Well, now Dayside has it's story, doesn't it?
This is outrageous.
He won't; bless his heart (and I mean that in the kindess way.)
who the hell is this doctor on fox?
She sounds like a liberal who wants to scare everyone.
........ and craven.
I'm praying and cussing at the same kind, do you think that counts? :-)
Who was the doc that they had on the phone? I just caught the end of that, but it looks like Mikey and Juliet's producer has managed to find the Cindy Sheehan of the Medical community to interview already.
didn't she say something also related to being suspicious that they waited 24 hours to notify the media?
Thanks for the exact size
No offense but the mans 78 ,theres probably lots of parts that are'nt coming back.
I hope she returns SOON.
They found somebody to question the doctors in Texas and imply that they are hiding something.
They must be thrilled.
I totally agree, Howlin. Very irresponsible. I am in shock.
Go here. They have 28 ga. slugs available for reloaders. They also have .410 slugs. Cool, huh?
HELL yes!!!! :)
..me too!
Whoever that female doc was being interviewed on Dayside is a hysterical ass-clown.
"When are we going to hear from PETA?"
Very Soon, I am sure. Did you see the quail flopping on the ground (in the CNN report)? Just a matter of time now before we hear about it. They won't show any concern for Whittington, just the quail.
It'll make a great PETA, HSUS fundraiser
Man, even Arial Sharon doesn't get this kind of media attention and his case is DIRE!
exactly what I was thinking!
They found somebody to question the doctors in Texas and imply that they are hiding something.
They must be thrilled.
My husband got up and walked out of the room!
He said this doc is an idiot.
He barely agreed to give me his opinion --- and he only translated to me what we were all hearing from the broadcast and presser.
That woman doc is way out of line.
Thanks for the number, I was just fixing to ask someone. Dialing now!!!!
Amen, SE. It is time for serious prayer.
DaySide email@example.com
Special Report w/ Brit Hume firstname.lastname@example.com
Not necessarily - as someone who has been in small, rural hospitals - the hospital floor is often something akin to the level of care of a nursing home or rehab facility while the ICU, has a level of care roughly equivalent to a modern, up-to-date hospital floor.
Put another way, the only way to get any sort of real care is to be in the ICU. Not to mention if you put someone in ICU you have more control of visitors which could be a key consideration in this case.
So I guess Cheney won't be going hunting for the rest of his term.
The doctor tried to explain this, though I don't think the press actually listened. He is rather heavyset and said it would be less likely in his case that such penetration would have occurred (more flesh to go through), but he basically said that Whittington is bony chested making such a penetration much more likely.
How can she do that over the phone?
That female doc has Whittington on the way to the grave. What a NON professional to question his hospital docs.
What really frosts me is the press has no regard for Whittington's family or for how a sitting VP must be beating himself up 24/7 since Saturday afternoon.
Like the reporters have never made a mistake, for crying out loud. It's something the VP will never get over.
Didn't you get the memo? It is no big deal. Happens all the time. I've been sprayed myself many times. Nothing to see. Move along...
Who has Tivo so we can get that doctor's name????
I think it was Julie London
I refer to Gregory as Cro-Magnan MAN!!!
That makes two of us. I'm listening to one of the empty heads on FNC and I just have to resign myself to the fact that I am going to hear all sorts of hysterical and inaccurate reporting on this for days.

Germany Short Ban Rattles Markets
Financial markets were rattled late Tuesday by Germany's move to restrict some bearish bets on bank stocks and sovereign bonds. U.S. stocks declined, the euro dropped to a four-year low, and oil descended to its first close below $70 a barrel since mid-December.
On Tuesday, traders said Germany's clampdown, while largely symbolic because it would be impossible to police, added to anxiety in the financial markets and drove more selling the battered euro and drove investors out of risky assets like stocks and commodities.
The Dow Jones Industrial Average slid 114.88 points, or 1.1%, to 10510.95, led by a 3.4% slide in American Express. AXP -0.51 % The Dow is up 0.79% for the year-to-date.
"Everybody's jittery on the euro and the risk trade," said stock trader Andrew Busso, of Cowen & Co. "You're seeing risk come off the table. People don't know what to do right now."
Corporate-bond prices also turned lower on news of Germany's crackdown, driving yields, which move in the opposite direction of prices, higher. In the past three trading sessions, high-yield bond prices have more than given up all of their gains accumulated in the week following the "flash crash" selloff earlier this month, according to Steven Miller, manager of Standard & Poor's Leveraged Commentary & Data Group.
Other credit-market indicators flashed red. The cost of protecting against a default by an investment-grade company rose 9%, according to Markit's CDX index. The Chicago Board Options Exchange Volatility Index, seen as fear gauge, rose nearly 9% to 33.55.
Investors poured money into relatively safe Treasury bonds, pushing the 10-year note yield down to 3.38%, its lowest since December.
Crude futures were off for a sixth straight day, down 67 cents to $69.41 a barrel. The commodity has fallen 19.5% over the last 14 trading days, nearly to the 20% threshold traditionally considered the definition of a bear market.
Germany's financial regulator Bafin said it will temporarily ban naked short-selling of euro-zone government debt traded on German exchanges, as well as uncovered credit-default swaps on euro-zone government debt, and naked short-selling of Germany's 10 most important financial-sector stocks.
A crackdown on naked shorting in Germany would echo similar steps taken by U.S. regulators following the meltdown of Lehman Brothers in late 2008. The U.S. ban was controversial at the time, however, because some analysts said it had the unintended effect of encouraging investors to sell shares quickly rather than be subject to even more rules tightening later.
On Tuesday, some analysts said the German move also pushed bears into the currency markets, which are more freewheeling than securities markets. A currency can change hands in any country, whereas securities tend to be subject to restrictions by the countries where they are issued.
"People figure that if they need to short something, they can always short the euro," said currency strategist Win Thin, of Brown Brothers Harriman.
He added: "This move by Germany just seems out of left field to a lot of people. It fits into the idea that the credibility of the European Union is suspect.

Top 25 breakdown
Apparently, Georgia didn't beat Georgia Southern bad enough in Week 1. At least, that's what the voters in the Associated Press and ESPN/USA Today coaches' poll thought.
USC is now the No. 1 team in both polls after throttling Virginia, 52-7. Georgia beat Division I-AA Georgia Southern, 45-21. All but seven of those Georgia Southern points came in the fourth quarter.
USC picked up nine more first-place votes this week than in the preseason poll, which put the Trojans ahead of the Bulldogs. Maybe USC is the best team in the country, but I don't see how one week of a 12-game season changed that many minds.
Moving on...
To absolutely no one's surprise, Pitt fell out of the poll this week after losing at home to Bolwing Green. Pitt fans can only hope that it doesn't take another three years for the Panthers to get ranked again.
Before being ranked No. 25 in the preseason poll this year, the previous time Pitt held a ranking in the AP poll was the preseason of 2005. The Panthers also lost the season opener at Heinz Field that year, to Notre Dame, 42-21.
If the Bowling Green game was any indication, the Panthers will be hard-pressed to crack the rankings again this year.
But Pitt wasn't the only ranked team to fall flat in the opener. Pitt was one of five ranked teams to lose in the opening week. Clemson, Illinois, Tennessee and Virginia Tech also lost. All but Illinois fell out of the rankings.
Pitt was the only one of those five to lose at home.
Here is the new AP top 25 followed by my ballot:
2. Georgia
3. Ohio State
4. Oklahoma
5. Florida
6. Missouri
8. West Virginia
9. Auburn
10. Texas
11. Wisconsin
12. Texas Tech
13. Alabama
14. Kansas
15. Arizona State
17. South Florida
18. Oregon
19. Penn State
20. Wake Forest
21. Fresno State
22. Utah
24. Illinois
25. South Carolina
My ballot:
1. Georgia
3. Ohio State
4. Missouri
5. Florida
6. Oklahoma
8. Auburn
9. West Virginia
10. Texas
11. Kansas
12. Wisconsin
13. Alabama
14. Arizona State
15. Penn State
16. Texas Tech
17. Wake Forest
19. Oregon
20. Illinois
21. South Carolina
22. Boise State
23. Fresno State
24. South Florida
25. East Carolina
First week analysis: The ACC stinks and the Big East isn't much better. Whatever became of the notion that the ACC would develop into a superconference after raiding the Big East. Well, it's five years after the raid and the ACC is the worst of the six Bowl Championship Series conferences.
Want proof?
- Clemson, the highest ranked team in the conference at No. 9 in the preseason poll, was non-competitive in a 34-10 loss to No. 24 Alabama in a game that was played at a neutral site.
- Virginia Tech, ranked No. 17 entering its opener, lost to East Carolina, 27-22, at a neutral site.
- USC went to Charlottsville and blitzed the Cavaliers, 52-7.
- In a conference with Miami and Florida State, Wake Forest is carrying the banner for the ACC. That ought to tell you how bad the league is.
- The Big East didn't have it much better Week 1. In addition to the Pitt losing, Syracuse lost to Northwestern, Louisville fell to Kentucky and Rutgers lost to Fresno State.
- At the moment, West Virginia and South Florida look to be the only teams worthy of being mentioned among the nation's elite. And I still have to be convinced that the Bulls can duplicate their success from last season.
New on my ballot: Fresno State, South Florida and East Carolina.
- Fresno State --The Bulldogs traveled cross-country and beat Rutgers on its home field. Now they'll rest for a week and await a visit from Wisconsin Sept. 13.
- South Florida -- South Florida was close to being on my ballot in the preseason. With Pitt losing and the Bulls taking care of business against Tennessee-Martin, I slotted them in at No. 24.
- East Carolina -- The Pirates beat Virginia Tech in Charlotte and hope to use that momentum in the biggest game in Greenville this century. They play host to West Virginia this week.
On the cusp of my ballot:
- Utah -- The Utes went to the Big House and beat Michigan. Had Appalachian State not done the same thing a year ago, I would have ranked Utah. Since Michigan isn't Michigan anymore, I'll take a wait-and-see approach with the Utes.
- UCLA -- Yes, the Bruins beat a ranked team from the SEC, but their performance was less than dominating. QB Kevin Craft was intercepted four times in the first half and the Bruins had just 29 yards rushing for the game. They'll get a chance to prove they're for real Sept. 13 at BYU.
- Bowling Green -- While it was impressive that the Falcons came to Pitt and won, I still can't get over the fact that they lost to Tulsa, 63-7, in the GMAC Bowl last year. Plus, the Falcons can prove they deserve to be ranked by beating Minnesota at home this week or by winning at Boise State the following week.

The location of the hotel, the interesting courtyard and the comfort of the bedroom
There was notghing we didn't like
The location of the hotel suited our needs perfectly, as it was a stop over on our drive home from the south of France & it meant we didn't have a long journey to Calais the next day. The building itself was beautiful & it was nice to see a modern design/decor incorporated into a traditional building. The staff were friendly, efficient & very helpful & when we were unable to eat in their restaurant as it was full, they reccomended & booked a lovely alternative.
That we weren't there for longer & that it was raining heavily so we were unable to explore the area!!
The location.. so close to the Cathetral, the Gros Horloge, shopping.
The room was very small for 2.
Very nice location in central city.
It may be difficult to find hotel by car. But i think it is usal in France due to many uni direction road.
The staff were friendly and helpful. The suite was very large and comfortable. We liked the fact that this hotel is in a fairly quiet neighbourhood and it is about a 15 min walk or a short bus ride to the Old Town. Rouen is a very busy place and not a fun place to drive in so we especially appreciated being able to leave our car at the hotel during our stay. The hotel parking is a tight squeeze but the price is very reasonable.
Our spacious room had high ceilings and looked just like a classic French hotel room. The breakfast was delicious.
The only positive experience was the staff. They helped us to change our booking!
Cleaningness, too much distubance and poor quality.
The hotel is ideally located near the banks of the Seine. We used it for a late evening visit to the huge funfair in Rouen in October/November. We did not eat in the hotel at all and made an early morning start for the Eurotunnel.
The shower wall holder was missing. After a long journey I was looking forward to a good shower. Had to hold the shower head myself and shower as well as possible like this!
It was right for 4 adults but generally acceptablr
There are openings in the swinging doors to the shower area that created a problem with privacy. We had two teenage girls and two men.
Functional. Fridge, microwave and kettle provide alternative food options. Simple no nonsense breakfast
All three of the women at the front desk were extremely helpful both with room and town questions. We had an early departure and were taken care of graciously.
The very pleasant hotel. The rooms is small but very comfortable.
It`s not possible to reach the hotel by car. The very, very small lift.
Found the position of the Hotel is great and service staff is nice.
The hotel car park is extremely expensive. 14+ euros a day
Access to the internet. Nice welcome, staff was very helpful, however French language is a must (as almost everywhere in France, I am afraid).
Breakfast - too sweet for people used to the German, English or Nordic type of morning meals.
Fantastic location just opposite the railway station. Very helpful staff, able to give information on restaurants, public transport etc.
The room was small and the bathroom very small, especially the shower
It is very close to the cathedral and the historic city. The breakfast was good and they had the best coffee during our stay in France.
It is very small one-way street which can be difficult to find and there was no lift and some interior construction while we stayed.
We particularly liked the location and the friendliness of the staff. Rooms were comfortable and the breakfast very nice.
There is no lift in the hotel and carrying a baby up 3 flights of stairs was quite hard work. Parking is quite difficult.
Very very good location. I studied there and I know what a good location in Rouen is. From our room we had a view to Palace Justice. 10 minute walk from train station and walking distance to any sightseeing in Rouen. Room was nice and clean. I will definitely stay there again and would recommend to others with limited budget.
No elevators. Reception desk doesn't works 7/24, though it was not a problem for us.
The location is fantastic - right in the middle of the historic city centre and opposite the stunning Court of Justice, one of the most beautiful late medieval structures anywhere. The hotel building, from the same period, is quaint and charming. As things go in France, the breakfast was above average.
The wifi did not work properly (save in the staircase, not the most convenient of options...) and the room furniture was very flimsy indeed and certainly not 'design', as rather boldly stated. No staff on location on a Sunday night - all I got was a room key, in sharp contrast with the services mentioned on the web.
I used the hotel for a one night stop over and found the hotel clean, comfortable and good value. Remember this chain is providing clean and comfortable accomodation to a budget so dont expect high end luxury. Make sure you have good directions before you leave as relying on the french post code alone on the satvav couldnt find the address.
Good food menu
this hotel is great if you need a quick stop off - Rouen is well worth a visit
when we wanted a drink from the bar we were directed to sit in a room with the washing ?? and the tumble dryer. Staff didn't see this as a problem... strange thing was there was a room divider that could have been pulled across to make a smaller much nicer room. didnt spoil our stay.
staff friendly and help full restaraunt facilities and food good
that they were flexible about the rooms and allowed us to check-out 30 mins later than advertised. a tiny bit "random" about finding reception staff would be the only slight criticism but that was by far outweighed by their flexibility once found.
Good value for money and friendly staff and, above all, very conveniently located.
Room a bit small, and no lifts
the breakfast
lack of elevator and difficult to park the car
Proximity to the Old Quarter of Rouen.
Our room was "tatty".
Here's why:

Our service lets you quickly and easily compare results from hundreds of travel sites at once. In this sense, KAYAK is a search engine and we don't guarantee prices we find.
Why aren't prices accurate 100% of the time?

Which sex is the worst about washing up? Why is it so important? We've got the dirty truth on how and when to wash your hands.
Ear Problems and Injuries, Age 12 and Older
Home Treatment
Home treatment may be all that is needed to relieve minor or intermittent ear discomfort.
- To ease ear pain, apply a warm washcloth. There may be some drainage from the ear when the heat melts earwax.
- Do not use a heating pad when you are in bed. You may fall asleep and burn yourself.
- Do not use a heating pad on a child.
- Try an ice or cold pack to reduce swelling from a minor injury or sunburn. Apply for 15 minutes 3 or 4 times a day during the first 48 hours after the injury. The sooner you apply a cold pack, the less swelling you are likely to have. Place a cloth between the ice and your skin.
- Oral or nasal decongestants may relieve ear pain, especially if the pain is related to fluid behind the eardrum (otitis media with effusion). Avoid products that contain antihistamines, which tend to cause more blockage, unless allergies seem to be the problem.
- Chewing gum may help relieve pressure changes in the ear, such as when flying in an airplane.
- Try a nonprescription earwax remover if your ear feels plugged but you do not have obvious signs of infection. Be sure to follow the label directions carefully.
- Do not use ear candles. They have no proven benefit in the removal of earwax or the treatment of other ear problems, and they can cause serious injury.
|Try a nonprescription medicine to help treat your fever or pain:
|Be sure to follow these safety tips when you use a nonprescription medicine:
Symptoms to watch for during home treatment
Call your doctor if any of the following occur during home treatment:
- Pain develops or increases.
- Fever or other signs of ear infection develop.
- New or different drainage from the ear develops.
- Other symptoms develop, such as hearing loss or vertigo.
- Your symptoms become more severe or frequent.

I need to SSH into a client server that has an IP whitelist as part of access control. I don't have a static IP - sometimes I work from home, sometimes the library, sometimes a coffee shop, etc. How can I get a static IP? If I am on vacation, and a remote coworker has to connect to the whitelisted server, how would they get in (assuming they have credentials)?
Does this involve setting up and connecting through a VPN? Or a proxy server?
I am looking for both a solution and an explanation of how it works.
A bit more detail: There seem to be a few options here, and maybe that's where I get confused.
- Set up and connect to a VPN, and then my ssh requests will be routed through there. The server will see my IP as that of the VPN gateway (is this proper terminology?)
- Set up a server, and ssh into that server and then ssh from there into the end server. This is not ideal, since I will have to move files to the intermediate server, and then to the main server.
- Set up a server, and use port-forwarding as a pass through.
What is not clear to me is the pros/cons of these approaches. Web searching didn't explain that, so I am asking here. Not just for a solution, but for an explanation as well.

Diverse show of pride
There are 230 comments on the Columbus Dispatch story from Jun 21, 2009, titled Diverse show of pride.

This is a joke, sorry I never have nor will I ever go to one of these events. It's an embarrassment to the gay community. I went down to dinner last night and embarrassment to gay by the way these people acted! Each to own, but as a gay man, I keep what I do in private at home so others donât need to see it. Itâs also a shame that men have to act like women and dress up in womanâs clothing. So what if you are gay, stop acting like a woman! And trust me I am not the only gay man in Columbus that canât stand the way the community is.
#2 Jun 21, 2009
I agree with you. I am a "straight man" and it makes me vomit to witness the public display of kissing and laying on pool tables "making out". My wife and I do not lay on pool tables and do displays of sexual acts.
#4 Jun 21, 2009
You failed to explain to the readers that you are still in the closet.
Its OK to be gay. Get over it.
#5 Jun 21, 2009
There was a pool table on one of the floats?
Saint Marys, OH
#6 Jun 21, 2009
Not in the closet, I just don't feel the need to go out and march in a parade where many act like women! Being gay does not make a man a woman!
#8 Jun 21, 2009
Borngay people don't recruit. Sexual orientation is an invisible force similar to gravity and is unchangeable. When is the last time you changed yours?
Recruitment is the realm of religious fundamentalist wackaziods; a dying breed of torqued-out desperados.

Recruit kids, Jesus ****....

Satan could not have said it better.
#11 Jun 21, 2009
How refreshing to hear the truth. Even the city council wanted to vote in another Lesbian from Stonewall Union as an unelected representative. Our state and local reps march in the parades to assure the votes. The poor sick drags will never be anything but victims of their own making. All of this does not represent the overwhelming majority of decent gays and lesbians. I challenge you to go to 10th annual Gay, Lesbian, and Straight Education Network Conference (GLSEN) supported by fed and state funds in Mass.: http://www.massresistance.org/docs/issues/fis...
#12 Jun 21, 2009
Sounds like the same stupid canned reply. Is this in a manual of some kind.
#14 Jun 21, 2009
Why would someone "choose" to be gay to be ridiculed and defamed by people like you? Do you really think they want to "recruit" (really?? this is 2009 for Pete's sake) kids and others into a group that faces so much hate? Why would someone do that purposely?? Get a grip, and instead of taking what is said in the Bible so literally, remember it was written by scholars (not Jesus or God), to help gude us in how we should lead our lives...including how to treat others.
#15 Jun 21, 2009
Satan exists exclusively in the realm of religious fundamentalist wackaziods; a dying breed of torqued-out desperados.
He can be found in the congregation of every fundamentalist wackaziod meeting house

"Born gay" as opposed to what?
Yes, they do. I have been hit on four times and I can name names, two of them are family members.
#20 Jun 21, 2009
Being "hit on" is not the same as being recruited into "being" a gay person.
If a hot chick hits on you, do you consider she is trying to recruit you into being another hot chick?
Here's how you can work it out within yourself.
Consider a gay man to be a woman trapped inside a man's body. The woman within the body "hits" on you the same as a hot chick "hits" on you; because you are a hottie turn-on (its all your fault ;P
It is a compliment to your good looks and magnetic personality; not an insult.
#21 Jun 21, 2009
It's very sad that the only pictures the Dispatch showed are the drag queens and the boys in underwear. That was a very small part of the parade and the pride event. There were over 100,000 of your typical everyday people. But why would the dispatch want to show pictures of that.
#22 Jun 21, 2009
I also seem to remember, after 12 years of Catholic education, all those parts of the new testament which rejected those ideas. Jesus spoke of loving our neighbors. I seem to remember things about casting the first stone, love your neighbor and other revolutionary ideas of peace and love. If you recall, Jesus often shocked his followers by dining with lepers, conversing and caring for the Samaratins-all outcasts in that day.
It's amazing that those who want to hold the bible and religion as the sole authority on life tend to forget some of those passages.
#23 Jun 21, 2009
Verysad, they had pictures of the marching band, the married couple, and the flag bearers. So it wasn't just the drag and party boys.
#24 Jun 21, 2009
Newspapers customarily show the best of a parade in the pictures, just like Disney does it.
Pictures of 100,000 everyday people are reserved for the revolution in Iran; and that, my dear, is no parade.

Commercial space imagery (satellite photos) are becoming a commodity. Currently, you can get high resolution (items under a meter in diameter can be recognized) for about $20 per square kilometer, with a minimum order of some $1,500. It costs more to get a more recent shot of a particular area. But this industry has become very competitive, with over half a dozen major players out looking for new business. The space imagery companies recognize the need to be discreet, and will keep a clients name, and needs, confidential. While some countries still want to put their own satellites up, this is so they can have the dedicated use of a photo satellite whenever they need it. While American military satellites have the best resolution (a few inches, or less), the best commercial satellites can give you 24 inch resolution. In practical terms, this can show you B-52 bombers on an airfield, with the ability to make out the turbine blades in the jet engines. The photos are not always from directly above, the cameras can shoot at an angle and give you 3-D like detail.

Great product for the money
I have gone through quite a few vacuums trying to find the right one, and this is it. Consumer Reports also rates this for one of the THE best for hardwood floors and it most surely is. The only thing I don't like about it is it's a bit on the heavier size. Other than that, if you're looking for a solid hardwood vacuum, this is the one.

I've got a C++ data-structure that is a required "scratchpad" for other computations. It's not long-lived, and it's not frequently used so not performance critical. However, it includes a random number generator amongst other updatable tracking fields, and while the actual value of the generator isn't important, it is important that the value is updated rather than copied and reused. This means that in general, objects of this class are passed by reference.
If an instance is only needed once, the most natural approach is to construct them whereever needed (perhaps using a factory method or a constructor), and then passing the scratchpad to the consuming method. Consumers' method signatures use pass by reference since they don't know this is the only use, but factory methods and constructors return by value - and you can't pass unnamed temporaries by reference.
Is there a way to avoid clogging the code with nasty temporary variables? I'd like to avoid things like the following:
scratchpad_t<typeX<typeY,potentially::messy>, typename T> useless_temp = factory(rng_parm);
I could make the scratchpad intrinsically
mutable and just label all parameters
const &, but that doesn't strike me as best-practice since it's misleading, and I can't do this for classes I don't fully control. Passing by rvalue reference would require adding overloads to all consumers of scratchpad, which kind of defeats the purpose - having clear and concise code.
Given the fact that performance is not critical (but code size and readability are), what's the best-practice approach to passing in such a scratchpad? Using C++0x features is OK if required but preferably C++03-only features should suffice.
Edit: To be clear, using a temporary is doable, it's just unfortunate clutter in code I'd like to avoid. If you never give the temporary a name, it's clearly only used once, and the fewer lines of code to read, the better. Also, in constructors' initializers, it's impossible to declare temporaries.

Ralph Reed's Religious Right Tea Party Will Be The "Christian Coalition on Steroids"
I've made no secret of the fact that I am amazed to see Ralph Reed continue to be hailed as some sort of political guru despite the fact that his own political aspirations came utterly unglued due to his close ties to Jack Abramoff and his related record of exploiting the very group he claimed to represent.
Case in point: his recent appearance on "The Brody File", the new half-hour TV program from CBN's David Brody, where Reed explains that GOP losses in 2008 convinced him of the need for a "21st Century version of the Christian Coalition on steroids, married with MoveOn.org, with a sprinkling of the NRA" and led him to create his Faith and Freedom Coalition.
He goes on to report that the recent Citizens United decision will allow them to play an even more direct role in upcoming elections, and that the organization has 100,000 members and activists and 15 state chapters and predicts that it "will be a major force for good" and become a "permanent fixture on the American political landscape."
Reed's mission is to harness grassroots energy by merging the fiscal conservative agenda with the social conservative agenda ... which is pretty much the mission of every other Religious Right group already in existence. Please, try and name one socially conservative group that does not also support the standard fiscal conservative agenda.
Reed's real focus seems to be on merging Christian conservatives and Tea Party activists, as he reports that he has several Tea Party organizers who are also active in his Faith and Freedom Coalition, that he is personal friends with several national Tea Party leaders, and that he has personally participated in several high-profile Tea Party events.
Reed says that a significant number of Tea Party activists are also social conservatives and that what the entire movement is really concerned about is "moral issues":

An earth tremor measured in North Korea on Tuesday morning was a "suspected explosion", China's Earthquake Administration said.
The webpage of the China Earthquake Network Centre, affiliated with the administration, said a quake "at 10:57 on February 12 in North Korea was a "suspected explosion" and occurred at a "focal depth of 0 km".
The North vowed last month to conduct a "high-level" nuclear test, its third, in retaliation for tightened UN sanctions following its December rocket launch.
China, the North's most influential ally, said last week it was "extremely concerned" by recent developments on the Korean peninsula and called on relevant parties to exercise restraint.
China has not announced whether it would implement punitive measures if North Korea conducts another nuclear test. Analysts say the emerging superpower values stability in North Korea above other foreign policy aims.

645 PRO Mk III
By Michael Hardaker
Open iTunes to buy and download apps.
645 PRO Mk III has been designed, from the ground up, for professional and serious amateur photographers. So it works the way a camera works—and it's the most powerful camera app we've ever seen!
You have instant access to everything that can be controlled on an iOS camera.
That means fully manual exposure control, as well as semi-automatic Shutter Priority and ISO Priority, together with fully automatic exposure with a choice of spot or matrix metering. Automatic and semi-automatic modes also include ±3 Ev. exposure compensation, while the on-screen meter lets you judge your manual exposures to perfection.
It means the choice of AWB or a selection of white balance presets—and even the ability to create and save a completely custom white balance.
And it means manual focus override—just swipe your finger up and down the viewfinder to control the lens position. And you even get focus-peaking to help you identify what will be in perfect focus!
And you have all the information you need, all the time, including real-time exposure metering, real-time ISO and shutter-speed readings, Ev, real-time GPS data and a choice of histograms. And many aspects of the interface can be customized, so you can—for example—configure the Shutter Release button to behave the way you want.
645 PRO Mk III—TOP-QUALITY OUTPUT
645 PRO Mk III combines the ultimate in lifelike "film look" output with the ability to save completely unprocessed image data at the highest quality possible.
Its gorgeous Film Modes are inspired by classic film stock as used by top photographers from the 1960s through to the present day—and if you want to edit them, and save custom, personalized films, you can. Meanwhile its unprocessed images are just that—ready for later post-processing or to be used "as is" for reportage.
Whether you shoot Film Mode, unprocessed or both, you have the choice to save in HI-Quality JPEG, MAX-Quality JPEG, or—for top image fidelity—TIFF.
And you have the option to shoot in one of seven formats, from square 6x6 to panoramic 6x17, all inspired by classic Medium Format cameras. Also inspired by film, you can add one of 21 Photo Filters, all with fully-adjustable densities.
You'll get photographs from your iPhone like you never imagined!
Drawing its inspiration from the obsession with quality embodied by top-end Medium Format film and digital cameras, 645 PRO Mk III exists purely to help you use your iPhone as a tool for composing, taking, saving and sharing the finest possible photographs.
"645 PRO takes the best iPhone photos you have ever seen"
-- Charlie Sorrel, Cult of Mac
"My number 1 camera replacement app"
-- Glyn Evans, iPhoneography.com
"If you're looking for a camera app which leans toward a professional pallet of tools, then 645 PRO is certainly the best there is"
-- Ben Reid, Redmond Pie
"Not only do you get what is arguably the best, serious-shooter, camera for the iPhone but you also get a level of customer care, devotion and attention to detail that you will be hard pressed to find elsewhere on the App Store. In short: 645 PRO is a steal. Buy it today!"
-- Aaron Stanley, Appsolute Reviews
What's New in Version 4.26

A Bit Clumsy But Full Shutter & ISO Control
This app does not have the smoothness of some manual photo apps – for example, you have to repeatedly and laboriously hit a series of plus or minus signs to set your parameters. But it is the only one I've used that allows you to capture photos at ISO 2000 at 1/2 sec. Other apps allow you to set those parameters, but when you look at the EXIF data afterwords you find that they actually shot at 1/15 sec. As such, this is a must-have app for anyone interested in total manual control in low light situations.
Freeze !
While I am impressed with this app, what turns me off is the fact that the screen freezes after a few shots. You then have to exit and go back into the app only for the same thing to happen. I've uninstalled and the whole thing and still the same. Hopefully, this gets fixed because this would be a great app on my 6s+.
Well worth it part 2
Update: 3 years later still my go to camera app, more fun than ever on the 6s+
Congratulations on a well designed and continuously developed app. Now it's up to Apple to make ever better camera hardware. Focus peaking works fine even on older phones (4S)

Assuming for a moment that the last ditch effort of throwing the football into the end zone is being compared to a prayer, shouldn't the headline use the phrase "Hail Mary" instead of "Hale Mary"? Not being Catholic, I'm no authority on such prayers, so I could be wrong...

Really? Today the US plays world cup soccer in the round of 16 and there's
not a word about it on the "front page" of the D-News. It may be buried
somewhere here, but nothing on the home page. But right up front is an article
about BYU Football. Really? I've always thought the D-News Sports dept. had
way too many football writers.
What to do with so many during the dog days of summer?
Right another legacy football article. And ignore that other football going on south of the boarder this afternoon.
Go USA!

"That's something that BYU has over a lot of other schools, the
commitment of the fans. The stadium that we have, it's 65,000, but we could
probably hold a 100,000 and fill it up." -- former LB, Leon White
Not so Leon. You're stadium capacity is 63,470, and you can't even fill THAT up unless Utah comes to town. And we won't be coming to town for another 4-yrs. So what makes you think expanding LES by nearly 58% would magically fill those extra 36,530 seats...plus those ALREADY unoccupied seats available at LES?
It's just like a cougar to imagine themselves as though they're bigger than they really are.

There are obviously few Catholics around out there. It's "Hail Mary," although wishing Mary good health I suppose is fine too.

Naval Vet,
Yes you are correct. BYU players and fans love to sink into delusions of grandeur. They get so caught up in the emotions of the moment that they, somehow, believe that this is the most magical program in all of football.
But if they would take the goggles off and see what the outside world sees, they would NOT be pleased.
They think they are entitled to everything programs like Alabama and Texas have, despite the fact that they have never done anything to earn it. And don't even get me started on the Notre Dame comparisons.
Fine BYU fans, love your team. Be passionate about your team. But don't go trying to make them something they aren't. In the grand scheme, they are just a mid-major (not by opinion, by definition) vehicle for the Mormon church that happens to be on the outside looking in.
If BYU was as great as its fans believe, they would have joined a P5 loooong ago and elite teams like USC, Notre Dame and Alabama would be beating the door down to play them.
You gotta be real about your team, or you come off as naieve.

Unlike Utah fans, who continue to have delusions of grandeur that the Utes could fill a 63,000-seat stadium.
There's a reason Utah's crackerbox of a stadium has almost 20,000 fewer seats than LES.

"hmmm, the majority of the big games are against Utah"
new Utah math?
4 of 10 is not a majority, even so, unlike our little brothers on the hill, BYU fans have never tried to claim that playing Utah wasn't a big game.
Personally, I enjoyed the back-to-back-to-back beat downs in 1979 27-0, 1980 56-6, and 1981 56-28, even though one of them, the most lopsided game in the series, occurred on Utah's home field.

"But if they would take the goggles off and see what the outside world sees, they would NOT be pleased."
Who exactly is the "outside world". Have you taken a poll beyond the North Salt Lake city limits? You seem to confirm that the "outside world" is so aware of BYU as to have an opinion about them which is more than we can say about the Utes. Regardless of what the "outside world" thinks, at least the Cougs have a history....and Championships. The "mighty" Utes of the PAC? Not so much.

Between The Senses
by Haven
- Record Label: Radiate / Virgin
- Release Date: Aug 27, 2002
- Critic score
- Publication
- By date
Combining the Verve's soul-searching themes with Radiohead's whisper-to-a-scream dynamics, Haven has come up with a weighty debut stocked with tender ballads, beautiful acoustic passages and several potential anthems.
Haven's one weakness is their failure to ever pick up the pace or well, y'know, really rock; like Coldplay's two agreeable, unhurried albums, there's a sort of same-y-ness throughout Between The Senses' 12 lullabies.
MojoSome of the most powerfully surging melodies from a British band since the second Travis album. [March 2002, p.114]
Alternative PressBetween The Senses follows in the hallowed Brit-rock tradition of trembling vocals, chiming midtempo guitars and delicate lyrical sensibilities. [Oct 2002, p.80]
The music here might be gimmick-free, but it's imbued with a dark sense of confidence.
By the end, the album feels too long, with too many tunes trying and failing to make a unique impression.... At its best moments, though, Between the Senses is simply and unnervingly beautiful.
Like a new friend who turns out to be a bit of a bore when you let them dominate the conversation, repeat listenings reveal an album bravely attempting to be a monumental statement on the state of life and love but falls short.
A few too many of these songs follow an all-too-familiar formula -- slow-burning introduction building to a crashing finale -- but on Still Tonight, Lately and last year's single Til The End, the bluster melts away to reveal Haven's passionately beating heart.
BlenderMost of the tracks don't quite rise above their obvious influences, Radiohead and U2. [#10, p.118]
Between the Senses rests with honesty and a tenderness similar to the likes of the Verve, but without pretense.
this is pretty much all good stuff. So why does it feel like there's something missing? Haven's problem is their chosen genre - epic, ball busting indie, guitars that jangle, then jangle harder, vocals that ride melody like diseases might pterodactyls.
UncutVery pretty but as predictable as Haven's guaranteed elevation to the Indie Premiership before the summer's through. [Feb 2002, p.118]
This record is dull, predictable aural soup, and dullness in music should be punishable by death.

School Library JournalGr 2-5-Dooling has brought Edison's boyhood into focus through careful attention to visual detail and a readable text. What emerges is a story of a determined, focused young man who, despite significant hearing loss and other setbacks, continued to experiment and create inventions that we still benefit from today. His questioning nature and creative genius were recognized and supported early on by his mother, who pulled him out of school to teach him at home when his teacher called him addled and sat him in a corner. The writing style is understated: "Eventually-Al set up a laboratory in the baggage car of the train. Soon the young scientist was experimenting with everything: chemicals, gadgets, test tubes, beakers, doohickeys, and thingamajigs." Dooling's somber oil-on-canvas illustrations use a dark palette and are extraordinarily beautiful. Each page exhibits an artistic mastery that perfectly draws out the subject and fills the space with objects that reflect the period. This inspiring book honors a brilliant inventor and belongs in every library.-Lee Bock, Glenbrook Elementary School, Pulaski, WI Copyright 2006 Reed Business Information.

Editorial Reviews
Kirkus ReviewsIn this sketchy but inspirational profile, Dooling pairs realistic paintings of the home-schooled boy experimenter-usually intent on a book, bottles of chemicals or some gadget-with an early-years account that stresses the influences his mother, and his encroaching deafness, played in shaping a lifelong habit of hard, constant study. Complementing the many other basic bios that focus more on Edison's later career, this closes with a spread full of Edison inventions and a pointed reminder that they exist because their inventor always wanted to know, "What is this? Why does that happen? How does it happen?" (afterword, resource lists) (Picture book/biography. 8-10)

My mini-jack input is broken, so my computer(HP pavilion dv6 Notebook) thinks there is headphones plugged in at all times. If I physically press lightly on the headphone intput location, speakers start working again. Even if headphones are plugged in, the cable needs to have tension in a certain angle to work. This is extremely annoying! Fixing it wud cost more than the computer is worth, and I can't afford a new one worth buying. I'm running Windows 7 with IDT audio. In all different options I've found, the speakers and headphones seems to have the same muscle. If I deactivate one, i deactivate the other. In fact, I cant find different options for them at all. Does anyone know a way I can force my computer to ONLY play through the speakers, even if headphones are detected? Not both at the same time, ONLY speakers!
Check out the screenshot.
Open [Control Panel] > [Sound] > [Manage audio devices]
From there, click the device you wish to activate, and click [Set Default]. I wanted to switch between speakers and permanently plugged-in headphones, so I threw a shortcut to the [Manage audio devices] window directly onto my desktop (see image). You may use this to easily switch between the devices.!
I've never tried this as a solution to this problem, but you could try disabling the headphone output device in the playback device manager.
If this doesn't work you might need third party software. As @ShankarC suggested, try using the Realtek audio manager (drivers on CNET) to disable the headphone output.
If you use Realtek to manage audio, you will have options for disabling headphones.
You have a alternative way also. you can buy a USB digital audio converter and use it .It will work without any hassle.
you have to select Digital output instead of analogue in the Sound-driver.
the use the converter and use it.

The Los Angeles Marathon is still 26.2 miles long.
That's about all this year's marathon has in common with last year's, or any other of the 24 Los Angeles Marathons.
From start to finish, concept to execution, dream to daylight on race day this Sunday morning, everything is different.
Except the length -- that part is non-negotiable.
Why the complete overhaul?
"It just wasn't inspiring running through light industrial areas near downtown," said Peter Abraham, the race's creative director. "As a runner, you want to feel like you went on a journey."
So instead of a circular loop around downtown, as the course has been designed in the past, this year's race will start at Dodger Stadium -- as an ode to the race's new owner, Dodgers owner Frank McCourt -- and finish at the Santa Monica Pier.
The 26.2 miles in between are designed as though the lead race car should be a red double-decker tourist sightseeing bus.
"We wanted to hit the icons of Los Angeles. Downtown, Hollywood, Rodeo Drive, the Sunset Strip," Abraham said. "And we wanted to finish at the beach, because in all the great running events, you need a great finish, and I can't think of a better finish than at the beach, where people can jump into the water afterwards."
The guiding vision behind all this belongs to McCourt, an avid runner who purchased the race in September 2008.
"It was abundantly clear when we started to look at the marathon that the success of the race would be based on a new route, the so-called stadium-to-sea route, and that possibility is what made this so attractive," McCourt said.
"Our goal is to make this a world-class, internationally recognized event, and I believe that on Sunday, people will see that we're well on our way to realizing that vision."
Vision and execution were two very different issues, though. Instead of dealing with only the municipal agencies in the City of Los Angeles -- fire department, police departments, engineering department, etc. -- the race now passes through five municipalities: Los Angeles, West Hollywood, Beverly Hills, the federal government property at the Veterans Administration in West Los Angeles, and Santa Monica.
It's hard enough to get all of these people on the same conference call, let alone the same page when it comes to organizing a 25,000-person marathon, but that was the task at hand and it's been done.
"The coordination effort has been monumental," race director Nick Curl said. "There have been meetings with five different agencies in each one, and each has their own staffs.
"There were so many meetings that had to be held. So many people that had to be educated. There is nothing that we are doing in 2010 that remotely resembles what we did in 2009."
So far the response has been positive. After attracting a mostly static number of entrants (between 17,000 and 20,000) over the years, this year's race has already sold out (25,000).
The next test will come Sunday when all those runners hit the streets, and all those streets will be closed.
Abraham thinks that their traffic-control plans won't be all that disruptive, but no amount of thinking ever predicted Los Angeles traffic patterns. (If anyone can correct me in that statement, please e-mail me ASAP with your secret. I promise not to tell anyone.)
"I don't think it's going to be too bad," Abraham said. "The first half of the route, we'll be out of there in two and a half hours, by 10 a.m. or so. The longest closures will be at the finish line in Santa Monica, but we made sure that we won't block Wilshire Boulevard, so I think that will help."
What's clear is that the organizers stayed true to their vision throughout the redesign process. From a marketing standpoint, their vision for the new course makes all the sense in the world.
Think about it: When people come to visit you from out of town, where do you take them to give them that L.A. feel? Rodeo Drive, Olvera Street, down the Sunset Strip. We all have our own little touches, right? I usually point out the corner on Hollywood and Vine and say, "That's where Richard Gere picked up Julia Roberts in 'Pretty Woman' and the Viper Room on Sunset where River Phoenix died." If we're passing through Los Feliz, I might point out The Derby bar from "Swingers." People love that stuff.
But is that L.A.? The real L.A.?
Yes, we are Hollywood and celebrity and glamour. But we're also Canter's Deli and Little Ethiopia and Koreatown.
Ethnic neighborhoods and so many different people, all driving around in our cars with the windows rolled up and fighting the same traffic, but basking in the same 72-degree sunshine about 330 days a year.
I asked Abraham about the creative choice, to emphasize, say, passing by Capitol Records in Hollywood over running up Fairfax to pass by the shops in Little Ethiopia as an ode to the great distance runners from that country.
"We definitely talked about Little Ethiopia," he said. "But that would've introduced another hill into the race, and you just can't hit every cool area in Los Angeles. We would've loved to [have] gone through there, and areas like Koreatown and Leimert Park, but when you've got a 26.2-mile string, there's only so many places you can pass through."
Perhaps the real conclusion is that we live in a city that's too large and complex and layered to define neatly, in one sentence, or along one 26.2-mile-long string.
We all simply have visions of it. This one is cool, and easy on the eyes, after 26 miles of pavement.

Bread and Butter Pudding French Toast Sandwiches
Total Time
Prep 5 mins
Cook 5 mins
Yes really! This is a pan-fried version of bread and butter pudding, made in the method of a French toast sandwich! A wonderful recipe, which is just the ticket for a lazy weekend breakfast or brunch, OR as a mid-week quick and easy dessert. Although it is not necessary to stamp out the rounds of bread, it DOES look so much nicer - you can use the excess bread to make breadcrumbs for baking, I never seem to have enough! I have also made this recipe with sliced brioche, now that is TOTALLY delicious, especially when served as a dessert with jam, whipped cream or even custard! You can "lighten" this recipe very easily by using low fat cream, low fat spread and fat free milk, then spray the pan with low-fat cooking spray.
Ingredients Nutrition
- 16 slices medium white bread
- 125 g butter, softened
- 100 g mixed dried fruit
- 4 medium eggs
- 150 ml double cream
- 150 ml 1% low-fat milk
- 3 drops vanilla extract
- 50 g caster sugar
- cinnamon
- Cut out an 8cm (3") circle from each slice of bread and lightly spread with butter. Divide the dried fruit between 8 bread discs and sandwich with the remaining discs, buttered sides together. Press together well.
- Beat the eggs, cream, milk and vanilla together in a shallow bowl.
- Clarify the rest of the butter, by melting and pouring off the buttery liquid into a large non-stick frying pan, leaving the white solids behind. Put the frying pan over a medium heat.
- Dip the fruit 'sandwiches' into the egg mixture until well-soaked and evenly coated. Fry the sandwiches for 2 minutes on each side until golden. Drain on kitchen paper, then dip in the caster sugar and sprinkle with cinnamon.
- Serve immediately.

These little gems were delicious! I used dried apricots and light butter. I think these would also be great with just cinnamon/sugar sandwiched in between. Thanks for posting this yummy treat!
How quick & easy to prepare this wonderful tasting sandwich! I used a mix of chopped dried fruits ~ pears, dates, apricots & tart Fuji apples ~ & they made for great sandwiches! Very nice, as is, but I'd also like to try this with a multigrain bread, or one bread disc white & the other multigrain! Thanks for posting such a great recipe! [Tagged, made & reviewed for one of my teammates in the Aus/NZ Recipe Swap #16]
These little french toasts were incredible. So much flavor and the texture was fantastic. They were so delicious. Quick and really easy to make...I have enjoyed them three times already...I keep using the same fruit as they were perfect together. I used a combination of dried cantaloupe and dried blueberries for a treat that is out of this world. Sprinkled with a little icing sugar and cinnamon for a perfect topping. Thank you so much for sharing this lovely recipe my friend. Made for Aussie Swap 3/2014.

Google Street View Cars Can Also Monitor All the Methane Leaks in Staten Island
Street View vehicles do more than view streets.
Google is putting its mapping cars to work on a problem much bigger than the changing facade of your local bodega: urban methane leaks. Google's camera-equipped cars have recently been driving through three U.S. cities with gas monitors, and now the results are available in map form. Residents of Boston, Staten Island, and Indianapolis can see where gas leaks are most intense throughout their cities here. Staten Island, unsurprisingly, has almost 1,000 leaks, "an average of about one leak for every mile we drove."
Methane leaks can be dangerous for a host of reasons in the short term, including their ability to cause explosions and dizziness, nausea, and headache. Long term, methane is an environmental scourge, trapping heat 30 times more effectively than carbon dioxide. As Google's maps show, small leaks are rampant in major American cities, and while they may not be producing as much methane as the digestive tracts of America's cattle, they're a problem that should be dealt with, eventually.

Is it the Stranger staffer who recently jumped off of something and hurt himself? Who was that? Jonathan?
Brendan "Glass Heel" Kiley!
Its Brendan Kiley!!!!! Look out for that bus! Under your window...D O N T J U M P!!!!
Has to be Brendan Kiley, though that pic is way blurry.

For example, there are packages and their dependencies:
a -> b (a require b)
b -> c & d
x -> a
y -> x
z -> x
z -> x & y
Now, give
c and
z, there are two dependency paths:
z -> x -> a -> b -> c
z -> y -> x -> a -> b -> c
The question is how to find out the dependency paths between two specific Debian packages?
P.S. The idea behind is to draw the dependency graph for a given set of packages, include the intermediate ones missing in the chain.
