Healing Honey
By Lady Spirit Moon
Honey is hygroscopic, meaning it draws. This drawing power is why it is excellent for open wounds.
My grandson had a deep scratch on his ankle where he had poison ivy, with white bumps on the edge of the wound. The white bumps meant infection was ready to set in. I put raw honey on the wound then placed a Band-Aid on top. Because of honeybees putting hydrogen peroxide in the honey and the honey being hygroscopic, all bacteria were killed on the edges and any infection in the wound was drawn out.
This Band-Aid was put on at 5 p.m. The next morning around 11 a.m. I asked to see the Band-Aid and was told it was gone. Looking at the wound, the ugly red was replaced with a healthy pale pink color, the wound had closed, and all signs of infection were gone. Honey's density will not allow air to get to the wound. The wound not having to deal with bacteria in the air allows the body to heal the wound from within; thereby, healing faster.
Editor's Note: Lady Spirit Moon is an ambassador for the Center for Honeybee Research. We featured the Center in an article in last month's issue, and are making it easier for our readers to help the Center help honeybees. The Walter T. Kelley Company will donate a dollar for every contribution our readers make, so please donate today and know your dollar will go a bit further because of our continued interests in helping bees. Thank you!

Everyone is redeemable, he says, it just takes different strategies.
"Everybody is redeemable if they show sufficient penitence," former New York City Mayor Ed Koch said in an interview.
They are redeemable in gold and silver on demand at the places of issue.
This check was redeemable for one dollar—the girls' source of revenue!
Why, pard, them's chips; every one redeemable at the bar in gold.
The Confederate currency was redeemable "six months after the ratification of a treaty of peace with the United States."
The promises of theology cannot be made good till after death; ours are all redeemable in this life.
They were issued during the Civil War, they bear no interest, and are redeemable in coin upon the demand of the holder.
By and by there came a lull, and the redeemable woman appeared, emerging from the smoke of the fury.
But this letter proves that there are redeemable qualities in Molly despite her birth and bad life.

But Director of Rugby Ruddock was delighted with the way Jones handled the increasing pressure on him throughout the match and stepped up to the plate to nail a late kick to secure the win.
"Matthew apologised after the game to me, he knew he missed opportunities, but the great thing about good goal kickers is coming back, stepping up and not be afraid to go again," said Ruddock.
"That is what he did all through the night and he nailed an important penalty ten minutes before the end which pout us two scores ahead which was important. I commend him for that.
"The best goal kickers can have an off day, it is how they come back from that and he came back well and kicked that important goal for us."
After the match Ruddock dismissed any fears over the fitness of Sam Tuitupou after he came off in the latter stages after revealing the Pocket Rocket had been battling a virus all week to play.
But he admitted scrum half Ryan Powell faced an enforced layoff after suffering a knee injury midway through the second period.
"Ryan has damaged a medial ligament and could be out for six to eight weeks," revealed Ruddock.
"That is a big shame for him, he has been very competitive in the scrum half position with Matt Powell and a few other guys.
"Now he had become first choice he will be gutted to be out of action for a few weeks. But hopefully, as things settle down, it will be a bit quicker than that."

This is a SEVERE CASE of child neglect and abuse. Parents that are not capable of taking care of their son. A system of monitors and caretakers that FAILED the child, a victim of the neglect of adults that should have made a difference in this child's life.
There is a rampant disregard for children and the elderly in America. The abuse exists! The children are murdered, just as the elderly are also victims of murder.
Those that are aware or suspect such crimes should be just as responsible for not aiding the victims before it is too late. Those perpetrators of such horrendous acts, should never see freedom again as an option.

In 1012 Irish lords in the north began to rise up in revolt against the Irish High King Brian Boru of Dal Cais. Seizing the opportunity at hand, Mael Morda, King of Leinster and King Sygtrygg of Dublin laid plans and Sygtrygg sent word to his Norse allies Sigurd and Brodir for aid in the rebellion.
As word of Sygtrygg's plans reached King Brian Boru, he made his own preparations in the winter of 1013 to attack the bases of the rebelling Irish and their Norse allies. In addition to his own native army, King Brian Boru recruited his own Norse mercenaries and called upon his subject lords to join him as he marched towards viking Dublin to deal with the army of Mael Morda and Sygtrygg.
As Brian laid plans to attack the city, Sigurd and Brodir sailed out to sea with their men, apparently leaving Sygtrygg exposed and alone. In fact, this was a clever ploy to catch the Irish off guard. As soon as they were out of sight of land, the longships turned back towards Dublin. On the night before the battle, the longships came ashore on the strand north of Dublin, between the city and the army of the Irish.
The leader of the foreign Vikings on the field was the renowned Earl Sigurd of the Orkneys. He had brought with him the Raven Standard, a banner marked with the symbol of Odin's raven given to Sigurd by his mother. The standard reputedly brought victory to those who marched behind it, but death to the one who carried it.
At dawn, the two armies were drawn up opposite each other. Each
army's flank was held by their best warriors. The Irish were hampered
by the decision of the former High King Malachi not to commit his body
of warriors, who remained to the right rear of the Irish line until the
very end of the battle. Both armies adopted a shieldwall formation,
and pressed towards one another.
The battle began with individuals calling out for specific opponents,
and the fighting turned fierce as clan feuds were settled and years of
animosity between the Norse Irish and the Irish came to a head. Brodir
fled ignominiously and hid in a wood from the Irish warrior Wolf the Quarrelsome.
The Irish center was pounded by the Orkney Vikings and Sigurd. Some
of the heaviest and most brutal fighting took place in thick woods, where
it is said "the trees dripped with the blood of the slain."
However, Sigurd was watching the prophecy of the banner come to pass,
as a succession of warriors took up the banner and were slain. When Sigurd ordered the chieftain Thornstein to pick up the banner, he refused. Sigurd himself took the banner, but put it under his cloak. Sigurd suffered the same fate as the previous bearers, as he was slain by Brian Boru's son Murchad.
Without a leader and with the tide turning in favor of Boru's Irish, the
Norse line began to waver, and then broke. Seeing the battle was
decided, Malachi finally committed his warriors to the field As
the army fled back to Dublin, they were caught by Malachi's fresh troops
and destroyed almost to a man. Some Vikings were caught between the
Irish and the sea, and fled into the ocean.
Brodir, who was still hiding in the woods, saw Brian Boru just beyond
the treeline, and ambushed the High King. Brodir cut down the Boru, saying "Now let man tell man that Brodir felled Brian!" Brodir's victory was short-lived as he and his men were taken by Wolf the Quarrelsome, and Brodir was sentenced to die a coward's death (being tied to a tree with his own intestines).
The battle of Clontarf was a hollow victory for the Irish. High King Brian Boru, many of his sons including Murchad and Murrough, and his grandson Turlough had all been slain. Malachai once again declared himself High King, and few resisted him. King Sygtrygg, who had watched the battle from the walls of Dublin, was permitted
to live, but the Norse would henceforth be subjects of the Irish High Kings.
Of the 7000 to 8000 warriors who fought at Clontarf, it is thought that
as many as 6000 were slain, including most of the leaders of both sides.
High King Brian Boru Irish army and their Norse allies are at the top of the map. The Norse Irish under Earl Sigurd are at the bottom. General's elements are indicated in red (I apologize for the anitaliasing problems), camps in brown. Army composition
is somewhat arbitrary, and represents the author's particular idea as to
how the army should be fielded. Deployment roughly corresponds with
records of the battle, although the Ps are more-or-less randomly located
since no record of their deployment could be found. The Irish Aux
element occupying the camp represents the army of Meath, under Malachi,
who were unwilling to commit at the opening of the battle.
The body of water on the right is Dublin Bay and is impassible terrain
subject to the normal rules for trying to retreat into the ocean. The green area to the left is the wood which "dripped with blood", and counts as Bad Going.
The ferocity of both sides at Clontarf is prominent in depictions of the event. For added ferocity and simulated animosity, one might consider treating all Aux elements as Wb for the battle.
Furthermore, the hideous losses suffered by both sides cannot be adequately captured by conventional DBA rules. Instead, random break points or a high fixed break point (like 7 elements) should be considered. If these rules are adopted, the general's element and the army's camp is treated as a normal element in terms of element loss.

Lafayette-based Stone Energy Corp. is selling its non-core Gulf of Mexico shallow-water properties to Talos Energy Offshore LLC.
The sale is for $200 million in cash and assuming future abandonment liabilities estimated at about $117 million.
The estimated proved reserves associated with the oil and gas properties represented about 9 percent of Stone's year-end 2013 estimated proved reserves. Stone will retain an option for a 50 percent working interest in the deep-drilling rights on the properties.
"The sale of our non-core GOM (Gulf of Mexico) shelf properties will allow us to further focus our efforts on GOM deep water, Gulf Coast deep gas and Appalachian projects, which we have targeted for our growth," said Stone Chairman, President and Chief Executive Officer David H. Welch.

Brassieres come in different kinds of readily available for women to put on having a certain style of dress. This is among women's couple of vagaries because bra will not just provide women support and can provide them confidence for searching their finest internally. This icon of womanliness is no more just a functional bit of clothing. The science from the bra has advanced incredibly, supplying us with amazing support and exceptional comfort that is available in all shapes, dimensions, materials, and styles.
Once the bra was initially invented I am certain the inventor could not start to suppose through the twenty first century there'd be a lot of bra types open to purchase it would become quite confusing.
Novelty Bra was created more for attitude, good look, showcase, stylishness as opposed to the fundamental functionality of the bra. Enhanced comfort, hold and exposure functions of the bra are partly or completely overlooked inside a novelty bra. A Novelty Bra can include trendy or a material that increases the fashion and look, materials like leather, fur, plastic, coconut shells, frozen treats cones, desserts and much more strange stuff may be used in novelty bra.
Novelty Bra is available in different fashion like peephole bra that discloses the areolas and hard nips, peek-a-boo, open tip etc. Normally the inner a piece of novelty bra consists of affective fabric like nylon material tricot, satin, tie, silk, polyester or Lycra. Novelty Bra is most appropriate for putting on for erotic or physical situations. Novelty bra could be worn with no upper clothes or tops.
In a number of events like festivals or beach parties, novelty bra may be used sensibly to include style statement for your appearance. These braziers are apt for any sensuous look. They're a lot of show bizz than from the functionality. They might feature highly exotic features, designs, particulars, etc. They are constructed with wealthy exquisite materials.
Novelty Bras are equipped for sensuality and also to include that extra pleasure inside your sex life with that special occasion. Our assortment of Novelty Brazier include original gem bra. Novelty Brazier also helps make the perfect holiday gift and anniversary gift!
Novelty bras are focused on attractiveness. Incorporated within this category are peephole brazier who only loosely cover the chest and then leave the hard nips uncovered, leather and latex brazier that are likely too uncomfortable to put on outdoors of seduction, and open cup brazier which offer support and coverage only underneath the nipple.

There are no customer reviews yet. Be the first to write a review!
Released in 1976 to huge critical acclaim and skepticism in equal parts, the album smashed new boundaries both lyrically and musically. But the fact that Selda was one of the few female voices to adopt the use of such cutting edge techniques put the LP in a league of its very own. Frowned on by the paranoid Turkish authorities she would face the threat of imprisonment due to her unwaning desire for freedom of speech and a demand for a quality of human life. Selda would face future jail sentences and travel restrictions as her popularity spread amongst Turkish communities in Europe and America. Luckily Turkuola arranged the immediate release of a second which was released in late 1976 (some songs recorded in the same sessions are presented on this release as bonus tracks).

Is Glenn Beck smearing people just for the hell of it?
Blog ››› ››› SIMON MALOY
Twelve hours ago, I knew nothing about Deepak Bhargava. I didn't know that he is executive director of the Center for Community Change. I didn't know that he worked for ACORN a number of years ago. I had no idea that he was getting his BA at Harvard undergrad at the same time President Obama was at Harvard Law. But now that I've listened to Glenn Beck's radio program yesterday and watched his television program yesterday afternoon, not only do I know Mr. Bhargava's name and these curious factoids about his personal life, I also know that he's a "radical," he's at the center of some inexplicable government conspiracy to engineer crises of financial and foreign policy, and we should all be "scared" of him.
Beck, as is his wont, didn't really explain how the heretofore unheralded Bhargava came to hold such influence. What Beck did say, however, was this: "I want to make it clear -- I don't have any evidence that he has any links to the White House. I am not bringing him up and saying, 'Look, he's making policy.' I just want you to listen to his words and compare them to the words of our president." OK, so no evidence of any connection to the White House or any policymaking of any kind, which doesn't really help to explain why Beck is attacking him. And just in case you thought Beck would actually explain why he thinks this man is important, he followed this all up with: "See if you can figure out why I think this man is important."
Ah, so it's our job to figure out why Beck is going after Bhargava. Apparently, it has something to do with a panel discussion hosted by The Nation in April that Bhargava spoke at, in which he praised the administration's anti-poverty measures but bemoaned Obama's "stealthy agenda" that doesn't "lead with questions of poverty or racial justice." OK, so Bhargava likes the administration's anti-poverty measures but wishes they were more about racial justice. Of course, that's just one man's opinion, and since Beck explained that Bhargava has no influence with the White House at all, we still hadn't figured out why Beck cared about him.
However, in spite of this lack of influence, Bhargava, according to Beck, is a key component of the "strategy" being employed by Obama, which involves creating "intentional" crises in order to "transform" the country. Beck explained all this -- well, perhaps "explained" is too generous a word -- he shouted lots of words about all this in one of his bizarre albeit entertaining chalkboard segments, all the while telling us that we are not going to "freak out."
But clearly he's bad, right? I mean, for Beck to call him a "radical" who wants to engineer crises and devote so much time to exploring who he is, he must be a pretty awful guy whose doing some serious damage to the country, right? Well, not really, it seems, as Beck led off his discussion of Bhargava with Breitbart crony Scott Baker by saying, "So, help me out on who this guy is. I'm not even claiming this is a bad guy, or anything. Who is he?"
At this point we didn't know what to think. Thankfully, Baker was there to do the thinking for us. "He's not a guy who works in the White House, but he's not just a guy either," Baker explained. "There are connections between Deepak Bhargava and his Center for Community Change and Barack Obama." Those connections are, apparently, that Bhargava worked for ACORN for a few years and was at Harvard with Obama at the same time. And they've appeared at a few labor events together. That's it. What matters most to Beck and Baker, apparently, is that Obama and Bhargava "use the same language." Words like "transform" and ... well, that's the only example Beck offered. But apparently that's enough in Glenn Beck's world to not only earn yourself an entire cable news segment devoted to you and you alone, but also a key role in the Obama-engineered conspiracy to create "intentional" crises.
And to round it all out, Baker declared, based solely on the fact that Bhargava is tangentially connected to Obama, that "people should be scared." Beck and Baker could offer no link between Bhargava and Obama other than the utterly trivial, and they acknowledged as much during the 20 minutes they spent defaming him on national television simply because he and the president have used similar-sounding language in the past.
The only thing more reprehensible than Glenn Beck dragging Deepak Bhargava through the mud was the fact that Beck admitted that he couldn't explain why he was doing it.

Organic Filtered Apple Juice
February 4, 2013—Fearlessly Archived—Still a fun read, price & availability may have changed.
100% Juice, Fortified with Vitamin C
Even a casual glance at our juice section will reveal a wide variety of organic juices. In some stores, organics tend to be more expensive than their conventional counterparts, but we've discovered that doesn't necessarily have to be the case. By working with the right suppliers and buying in large quantities – with cash—we've been able to negotiate prices on organics that would be bargains even for conventionals. And if the price is right, the juice is delicious and it's organic, well, if you're comparing apples to apples, the choice becomes obvious.
And speaking of apples, our Filtered Organic Apple Juice is 100% organic apple juice from concentrate, with just enough water added to reconstitute the juice. Other than vitamin C, nothing has been added, so what you get is simple. Pure, delicious, Filtered Organic Apple Juice, at the terrific everyday value price of $3.69 for a 64 ounce bottle. You'll find it with the shelf-stable juices—that's "non-refrigerated" in grocery-biz speak.

5 Plus-Size Tops I'm Loving for Fall
Fall is here and I'm sad to say that my wardrobe is not ready. As much as I wanted summer to be over, this procrastinator hasn't really done any fall shopping. I blame it on the warm L.A. weather. Now, that I know it's fall, there are five plus-size tops I want to add to my closet.

One of the Valley's best-kept secrets, the Roastery of Cave Creek was started by Dave Anderson as a small operation that roasted estate-grown organic coffee for some of the best local restaurants. Chances are you've sipped this expertly roasted coffee once or twice without even knowing it. If you have had a cup of joe with your breakfast or brunch at Matt's Big Breakfast, Bertha's Café, or Vovomeena, you have tasted the divine elixir that results from these exceptional coffee beans. There are several single varietals and blends available from ROC2, but they all have in common a great sense of balance, full-bodied flavor, and rich smoothness. These beans can be purchased directly at the roastery or by e-mailing email@example.com. The blend made especially for Bertha's Café can be purchased at the restaurant.
There's something so addictingly romantic about sipping a shot of espresso, cleansing your palate with the accompanying sparkling water, and pondering life's great mysteries while sitting in the open, airy Giant Coffee lounge in Central Phoenix. For local espresso lovers, Giant's Four Barrel Friendo Blendo espresso is a high point in a town of many great coffee joints. Two dollars gets you your shot and the side shot of sparking water, which is an unbeatably cheap pick-me-up. The thick, almost syrup-like consistency of the espresso paired with its tart fruit notes somehow make the perfect companion to Giant's flaky, savory quiche, which has been known to contain bacon, goat cheese, and pecans on certain days. That combo is sure to get you moving, maybe right across the street to the Phoenix Art Museum — now, doesn't that sound like a lovely day?
When Central Phoenix locals want to show off their neighborhood know-how to out-of-town guests, chances are they take them to Lux Central. Stationed in a nondescript building, this hipster hotspot houses a lively interior of mismatched mid-century furniture, typewriter centerpieces, grandma-chic dishware, and a seemingly endless maze of rooms in which to work, study, and socialize. Open from the wee hours and back again, Lux triples as a coffee shop, bar, and restaurant, serving up mason jars of iced lattes, as-you-like-it cocktails, and an ever-changing made-to-order menu. With so much action happening in one place, it's no wonder Lux draws such an around-the-clock assortment of people. From posh professionals and caffeinated study groups to late-night socialites and (don't say we didn't warn you) a fair share of awfully loud religious zealots, Lux Central is a miscellaneous mecca.
Shine started off as a retro trailer coffee shop that cropped up at different farmers markets and events in downtown Phoenix. Since then, it's expanded to include a permanent coffee stand just south of Thomas Road off of Central Avenue. Though the small outdoor shack still serves up some of the best pastries in town, like raspberry peach handpies and orange blossom shortbread, the best part is Shine's brand-new "Living Room" lounge in the neighboring building. It may seem intimidating to walk into a separate building with your wickedly delicious vanilla bean latte in tow, but once inside, you'll find a space that looks like a living room anyone would be happy to call their own, with lovely vintage furniture, great local art and mellow, ambient music — the perfect environment for reading a book or getting a boatload of work done. Plus, unlike most living rooms, there's no TV to distract you.
Pomegranate Café is as much about fresh juices, teas, and gluten-free, organic, local and vegan cuisine as it is about the coffee — maybe more so. But that suits us just fine when we're in South Phoenix, because it's nice to have a cafe to go to when we want a caffeine rush with a side of über-healthy. The kombucha and cleansing juices are definitely a more chakra-friendly option to your classic coffee drinks, but the espresso drinks are nothing to sneer at, either. If you get hungry after your soy latte, the simple, wholesome menu includes vegan burgers, raw tacos, kale salads, gluten-free bowls, and some great granola. Picky eaters with a laundry list of diet restrictions are always welcome at Pomegranate Café, which is good 'cause it's hard to find many other places in the Valley to take them while still satisfying our caffeine needs.

Comment on Financial Reform Implementation
August 24, 2010
Dear Panel:
I am a residential real estate fee appraiser; that means I am a small business; simultaneously, I am also a home owner and consumer. This combination gives me and my peers a unique view into to what might be corrected to protect consumers in this area as well as the industry concerned.
Appraiser independence is very important to me and those of my profession. Appraiser independence is equally important to the society in general though they may not realize it. Without appraisers, the banking industry would have total control of the process and that is a situation unfavorable to all. In fact, it is estimated that within five years, banks will make that argument as attrition befalls the appraisal industry due to actions there are taking today. 40,000 appraisers commented on this subject in early 2009 and it seems we were totally ignored. What was predicted at the time was theory; over a year later theory has become fact.
The Problem
In May, 2009 HVCC was enforced in a way it was never intended. Inferring that banks and mortgage brokers could no longer speak directly with appraisers and had to order through an AMCs. This resulted in reduced competition as Chase, Citi Bank, Bank of America and Wells Fargo receiving an estimated 80% of all residential appraisal fees and thousands of small businesses going out of business. The appraisers who have survived so far, have lost an average 54% of their income, while the AMCs are over charging for appraisals. Example, in Florida a man was charge $700 for an appraisal, but the appraisers only earned $300. Before May, 2009 this appraisal would have cost the owner $400 to $450 as it is a duplex; plus the owner would have had portability. This is just one of many examples.
Fannie Mae, in a recent announcement, SEL-2010-09 06/30/10, clarified that HVCC nor Fannie Mae required the use of a third party vendor for appraisals. Why did it take so long? There were lawsuits filed regarding this matter. How could Fannie Mae not know about this and not respond sooner as thousand of appraisers went out of business? I am not a lawyer, but if criminal negligence could be applied to a situation, this is it; plus, the appearance of collusion, but with whom and for what purpose?
The Solution (for a better system and consumer protection)
I end the way I started, The most important rule(s) this committee can implement will be the one(s) that limit bank participation in the appraisal process to quality control and review, and to sever all ties between banks and their Appraisal Management Companies (AMCs), which is not needed beyond quality control and review. If you are not willing to take this action, than I fear your work in this area is for not.
Respectfully submitted,
|Last Updated 9/14/2010

In the early part of the college basketball season, a lot of our time is spent trying to find signal amid the noise — be it the small samples of what our eyes see on the floor or what the numbers are saying. We're seven games into the Friars' season, and while that's not nothing, it's still not a great sample, especially considering the opposition PC has played this season.
Still, it's enough information to try to make some determinations based on limited information. So, let's play the famous icebreaker "Two Truths and a Lie." I'm going to parse the information based on the games I've watched and what the stats are showing to determine two things that we're seeing that are real and one that is not.
Truth No. 1: Bryce Cotton is the man.
It's hard to convey just how good Bryce Cotton has been this season. This game log gives us some idea, but it doesn't tell the full story. Get this: Bryce Cotton is sixth in the nation in Offensive Rating (through Tuesday's games, courtesy Kenpom.com) among all players responsible for at least 28 percent of his team's possessions when he's on the floor. He's one spot ahead of preseason All-Big 12 selection Pierre Jackson of Baylor and one spot behind preseason All-Big Ten selection Deshaun Jackson of Ohio State.
Replacing Vincent Council as the team's primary ballhandler (and thereby becoming the team's only ballhandler), Cotton has put up assist rates just slightly lower than Council's last year while taking even better care of the ball than the Friars' injured senior. (It's only fair to note that Cotton's competition has been much worse than what Council faced over the course of last season) He's put up these performances while missing only two minutes of action in the six games he played, much like Council did last season (indeed Council only sat 10 total minutes in the 18 Big East games he suited up for). It's probably just a mild exaggeration to write that Cotton has been a better-shooting version of Council.
Despite Cotton taking good care of the ball, the Friars haven't had the ball security this year that they did with Council last year. PC has turned the ball over more than the national average (21 percent of possessions) in four of the seven games, including a season high 33.5 percent in the loss to Penn State, when Cotton was injured and did not play (by comparison, the Friars didn't commit turnovers on even a fifth of their possessions in any of the final 14 games Council played last season). Turnovers were also a problem in the NC-Asheville and Fairfield games, despite Cotton only having four combined turnovers.
The big difference is that, though Council could single-handedly bring the ball up the court, even against a press, Cotton cannot. He needs help, and that help — particularly Josh Fortune — has not protected the ball. It's the turnovers, along with poor 3-point shooting, that's kept Providence's offense from being good (I have them as 12th-best in the 15-team Big East so far). But, without Cotton stepping his game up to levels no one could fairly dream of in a post-Council world, the Friars would look something like Saturday's opponent, Mississippi State, perhaps the worst major-conference team in America and one of its worst offenses.
Allow me to be one of the first to offer a mea culpa on Cotton. I thought he was a limited, undersized 2-guard, very useful in a role as a deadly spot-up shooter but unlikely to ever be much more than he was last season. He had not shown much of an ability to create his own shot or to create for teammates, but now it looks like that was due in part to Vincent Council's rightful ball domination not giving him an opportunity to do so. Cotton's become a complete guard when Providence needed him most, and he may be the Big East's MVP to date. It should be fun to see how he plays as part of a true three-guard rotation once Council and Kris Dunn are healthy.
Truth No. 2: This is the perfect schedule for this team at this time.
It was clear entering the season that the Friars' non-conference schedule was soft. As the season has gone on, the schedule is only looking weaker. The Friars are likely to play only one top-100 team (according to Kenpom.com) before Big East play and perhaps just four other top-200 teams. Only one of those four — Boston College — is still ahead.
It's not that hard to argue that Providence, by the end of December, will have played the worst team in three other major conferences: Penn State from the Big Ten, Mississippi State from the SEC and Boston College from the ACC. Add in Rhode Island, which figures to be near the bottom of the Atlantic 10, and even the "name" opponents on the schedule aren't imposing.
With a team so short-handed — particularly after Council's injury — the timing of this cupcake slate couldn't have been better. Providence hasn't faced a team that could truly out-man it, and it has played particularly well since having some practice (and rest) time in the days following the trip to Puerto Rico. Looking ahead, there are two types teams that figure to give PC some problems until they get Council back — teams that force a lot of turnovers and teams dominate the offensive glass. Of the remaining non-conference opponents, only Mississippi State is good at either, and the Bulldogs are actually good at both.
Though the Friars are clearly the better team and are playing at home, the matchups might make Saturday's noon tip tighter than it looks at first glance. MSU's Roquez Johnson and Gavin Ware are terrific on the offensive glass, and Johnson, Craig Sword and Trivante Bloodman are great at drawing fouls and getting to the line. Of those three, only Bloodman is shooting better than 60 percent from the stripe, and Mississippi State has ruined its offense with constant turnovers and wretched shooting. Still, the Friars will need to avoid foul trouble and hold their own on the glass. Defensively, Johnson, Fred Thomas and particularly Sword are ballhawks worth being aware of. I'm sure Ed Cooley is preparing his team for a trickier than expected opponent.
With a lineup this thin, there's always the possibility that an upset is looming, but there's a real chance that PC could win out until conference play (a 38-percent chance based on Kenpom.com's projections), and 9-3 should really be the minimum expectation. Providence is well positioned to, for the seventh straight season, win at least two-thirds of its non-conference games.
Lie: The Friars' defense is really good.
Providence has held six of its first seven opponents to less than a point per possession and has been particularly stingy in the two games since returning from Puerto Rico, holding consecutive opponents to fewer than 50 points for the first time since (as far as I can tell) Dec. 3 and 5, 1992, vs. Robert Morris and New Hampshire. PC's defense rates out as fifth best in the Big East so far when you compare their defensive play to what an average defense would be expected to do against the same competition. That's a remarkable turnaround from last season, one that's made a 5-2 start possible, but there's a "but."
On the other hand, we've seen something like this before. In the last six games of non-conference play last season, Providence's defense was stifling. Against competition just a bit worse than what PC has faced so far this season, the Friars held six consecutive opponents below a point per possession. Here's how those six games (from South Carolina through URI) last year stack up against the first seven this year.
Comparing defense-dominant stretches, last two seasons
|Stretch of Games
|To Date 2012-13
A few things to note:
1) The set of opponents Providence did this to last year was actually worse offensively than PC's opponents this season. This year's opponents are, on average, as good offensively as the 200th best team in the county; last year's group ended the season equivalent to about the 275th best offense in the nation.
2) The Friars have been highly successful defending the 3-pointer this season, holding opponents to just a 23.9 percent 3-point shooting percentage, good for 16th in the country, this despite playing a majority of zone. The problem with 3-point defense this good is that it tends to regress — heavily. Ken Pomeroy has shown that defenses have plenty of control over how many 3-pointers their opponents take but relatively little control over how many they make.
3) PC has, surprisingly, been able to turn over its opponents more often during this year's run while sending those same opponents to the line less often, and, besides the 3-point defense, much of PC's stinginess is attributable to forcing turnovers. Unfortunately, steals are highly correlated to turnovers forced (a correlation of .82 last season for the math nerds) and the Friars are not getting many steals (PC is 114th in turnovers forced vs. 230th in steals), so, all else being equal, the Friars will likely need to start getting more steals or they'll probably start forcing fewer turnovers.
4) The main reason I wanted to compare last year's unlikely run to this year's was because of what immediately followed it. Providence held its subsequent opponents (all conference foes) below a point per possession just five times in 19 games. The Friars' defensive efficiency ranked dead last in the Big East in conference play and undermined what was a pretty solid offense.
This doesn't mean that the Friars' defense so far this year hasn't been quite good – it has. It also doesn't mean that what happened in league play last year will happen again this season. There are good reasons why it might not.
First, this is a slightly larger sample against slightly better opposition. Second, just because it went sour last year doesn't mean it will again this year. Most importantly, this year's team has reinforcements coming. Council, Dunn and Sidiki Johnson will likely be on the floor by the start of Big East play. Dunn figures to be a plus defender and Johnson should be a boon to the team's still-weak defensive rebounding. It's unclear whether Council's addition will help much defensively, particularly if it makes PC smaller by moving Cotton to the 2, Fortune to the 3 and Henton to the 4, although it will provide more depth.
Moreover, this is not to undermine the incredible job Ed Cooley has done to get this team to play effective defense with just six scholarship players. The team's defensive play, along with the preparation that has led to it, has been remarkable and it may indeed be sustainable. And every subsequent game of good defense makes it more likely that PC has indeed transformed. But, all in all, despite starting my research for this article hoping that this defensive improvement would give strong evidence of sustainability, I'm left needing to see more to believe it.

Although normally associated with enterprise application development, C# can also be used in the lab, on the factory floor, and in similar environments that involve electronic test and measurement instrument control. In fact, with C# and I/O libraries compliant with the Virtual Instrument Software Architecture (VISA) specification (http://www.vxipnp.org/), you can create test and measurement applications, complete with GUIs. VISA is a specification developed by the VXIplug&play Systems Alliance, which identifies a common I/O API for communicating over a variety of bus interfaces, including GPIB, VXI, USB, and Ethernet. A number of vendors have tools that support this specification, including Agilent (the company I work for). In this article, I'll use C# and VISA-compliant software to develop test programs. Then I'll improve the test program by using software compliant with the Interchangeable Virtual Instrument (IVI) specification. The IVI spec was developed by the IVI Foundation (http://www.ivifoundation.org/) to promote specifications for programming test instruments.
While test program applications are traditionally written in C, C++, and Visual Basic, C# provides several benefits when compared to these languages [1]. With C#, for instance, C/C++ programmers can easily create applications with a GUI and not have to learn MFC or Visual Basic. You can develop programs immune to memory leaks. You can also use arrays and automatically detect any out-of-bound array accesses. And with C#, you can write programs free of assignment mistakes (if (a=3) {...} instead of if (a==3) {...}). And since C# applications are compiled (not interpreted), they offer faster execution times than Visual Basic programs.
While learning any new programming language can be daunting, learning C# does not have to be especially for experienced C/C++ programmers. It supports the familiar bool, int, float, and double types and multidimensional arrays of types. The syntax for declarations (int a;) and expressions (a=3;) is very much like C and C++. C# has the familiar operators, such as +, -, !, ~, *, /, ++, , <=, ==, and the like. C# has if-else, switch, continue, break, goto, and the for, while, and do-while looping constructs to control program execution. Enumerated types and structs can be defined. You can create C# classes with private, protected, and public variables and methods. Classes can inherit from base classes, and base classes can have virtual members. All in all, this is very much like C++.
But as you might expect, there are some new types in C#. The string type, for instance, contains an immutable set of Unicode characters. Here is an example of how straightforward it is to declare and manipulate strings in C#:
string s = "What"; s = s + " a beautiful morning."; s = s.ToLower(); s = s.Insert(0,"Oh,");
After all of this, s = "Oh, what a beautiful morning."
There are many other programming tasks that C# makes easy. Creating GUIs in C# is as easy as in Visual Basic. All you need to do is drag the Label, Button, GroupBox, CheckBox, and like items from the Toolbox onto a Windows Form. Tooltip help, tabbing, and pull-down menus are also easy to set up.
Another simple task is creating a distributed application that consists of a server application running on one computer and a client program running on a different one. When both computers are connected on the network, the client can call methods on the server (a process referred to as "remoting").
Moreover, it is just as easy to create an application that remembers state information; for example, a UI setting. This is done using the DynamicProperties of an object. Once a DynamicProperty for an object has been set up, the IDE creates an XML app.config file that stores the state information. The next time the application starts, the state information reads from app.config.
C# provides get and set accessors to read and write object properties (member variables). These are naturally grouped together, as shown in Listing 1(a) and Listing 1(b).
Of course, there are things that are commonly done in C/C++ that are more difficult in C# the use of pointers, for instance. Pointers for memory manipulation must be done inside unsafe code blocks and the fixed keyword must pin the object the pointer is pointing to so that it won't be moved by the garbage collector.
fixed ( byte *pSource = &myDataSinkBuf[idx1] ) fixed ( byte *pDest = &myDataSourceBuf[idx2] ) { *pDest = *pSource; }
Pointer arithmetic is disallowed:
fixed ( byte *pSource = &myDataSinkBuf[idx1] ) fixed ( byte *pDest = &myDataSourceBuf[idx2] ) { *pDest++ = *pSource++; // won't compile }
Multiple inheritance is something else you can do in C/C++ that you can't do in C#. There is no multiple inheritance in C#, although a C# class can implement multiple interface classes. This may cause concern for some programmers, but over the years I've only once used multiple inheritance in C++.
Building a Test/Measurement Application
The sample application I present here is a test and measurement system that communicates with a function generator. The application includes a GUI that lets users control the sine wave frequency.
To start, you need the correct software and equipment installed on a development PC:
- Visual Studio .NET. The programs I present were developed with Development Environment 2003 and Microsoft .NET Framework 1.1.
- Agilent I/O Library (VISA) Software.
- Agilent 33220A Function Generator.
- USB cable.
The concepts and programming details I provide here are applicable even if other test equipment is used, and much of the detail presented here pertains to any C# application.
Step 1: Creating the Skeleton Application. Start the Visual Studio .NET IDE and select New Project. In the dialog box that pops up, select Visual C#, Windows Application, and an appropriate directory and project name. I used "functionGenerator_1" as the project name. The IDE then automatically creates several files; see Table 1.
Step 2: Creating the User Interface. To let users control the frequency, add a GUI TrackBar item onto Form1. If Form1.cs [design]* is not currently visible, make it visible by finding the Solution Explorer window, right-clicking on Form1.cs, and selecting View Designer. Move the mouse over the Toolbox area on the left, then drag a TrackBar onto Form1. Figure 1 shows the TrackBar about to be added to Form1. The Toolbox contains many familiar GUI controls, ready to add to the GUI just by dragging onto Form1.
After adding the TrackBar GUI item, add three Label items from the Toolbox and set the Text properties equal to: Frequency, 1 Hz, and 30 KHz. After selecting Build|Build Solution and Debug|Start, the skeleton app should run and display Figure 2. Naturally, your results will vary, depending on your placement of the Label boxes and the TrackBar properties; I set TrackBar minimum to 1, TrackBar maximum to 30,000.
At this point, I haven't manually typed in any C# code, yet I already have the beginnings of a GUI for the application.
Step 3: Adding VISA Initialization Calls. Here's where you add C# code to initialize the VISA software. The VISA software is a DLL, and for each DLL function a C# application calls, a DllImport (or DllImportAttribute) statement must be added so that the C# compiler knows how to insert code to call the function. Agilent (the company I work for) ships a visa32.cs file that contains all of the necessary DllImport functions for the VISA API so you don't have to actually type in a single DllImport statement all you have to do is add the visa32.cs file to the project. For example, a DllImport statement for viOpenDefaultRM() is:
[DllImport("VISA32.DLL")] public static extern int viOpenDefaultRM(out int sesn);
To begin using the VISA software (but before sending any program messages to a device), two VISA API calls must be made:
- viOpenDefaultRM(ViSession sesn). The sesn parameter is an output parameter and a session to the VISA default resource manager.
- viOpen(ViSession sesn, ViRsrc rsrcName, ViAccessMode accessMode, ViUInt32 timeout, ViSession vi). viOpen() returns a session handle (vi) to the resource described in rsrcName.
Listing 2, for example, is inserted into the Form1 constructor in the Form1.cs file. The italic text represents code that has been manually added. For brevity, I've omitted error checking. Notice that the VISA viOpenDefaultRM() and viOpen() are done just after InitializeComponent(), after the TODO: comment that was automatically generated. viOpen() uses the rsrcName string functionGenerator, which is an alias set up by users when the function generator is first attached via USB.
Next, add the Form1 class variables in Listing 3. The programMessage byte array is used as a buffer when calling viWrite().
Step 4: Adding VISA Calls to Change the Frequency. The IDE automatically adds additional skeleton code that executes when users change the TrackBar slider position. To see this, make Form1.cs [Design]* visible in the IDE, then double left-click on the TrackBar. The IDE generates a skeleton event handler, switches the view to the Form1.cs code view, and prompts you to enter in code. Listing 4 is event-handler code that changes the function generator frequency.
Before compiling, add:
<i> using System.Text;</i>
near the top of Form1.cs, just after the existing using statements. This uses the types in the System.Text namespace, allowing Encoding.ASCII.GetBytes() to compile successfully. Encoding.ASCII.GetBytes() serves to convert a stream of Unicode characters into ASCII bytes and pack them into the programMessage byte array.
So after writing just 10 or so lines of C# code, you have a simple program complete with a GUI which can be used to control the frequency of a function generator.
C# and IVI Software
Admittedly, the program I've just presented has a limitation. The program message string syntax to change the frequency is hard-coded, and may need to change if a different function generator is used. This is because the syntax to change frequency may not be universally understood. IVI software, developed within the IVI Foundation (http://www.ivifoundation.org/), works around this problem by defining common APIs for function generators, digital multimeters (voltmeters), oscilloscopes, and other such instruments. If an application uses IVI software and only calls the specification-required functions, there should be no need to change the application code if a different instrument is used.
Since Agilent has IVI software available for the 33220 function generator, I'll use it to develop a second application that also sets the frequency. I use IVI-COM software because C# has built-in support for COM. This requires the installation of Agilent's IVI components and 33220 IVI-COM Driver (both available at http://adn.tm.agilent.com/).
After installing the software, go ahead and create a new project, but this time call it functionGenerator_IVI_1. Again, the IDE creates a skeleton application with a Form1.cs file. To use COM objects in C#, you must add a reference to the COM object. In the Solution Explorer window, add a reference by right-clicking on References, then select Add Reference, then select the COM tab. As in Figure 3, scroll down to the IVI Agilent 33220 (Agilent Technologies) 1.0 Type Library entry, then add it in using Select|OK. This is the only COM object reference that has to be manually added; the other necessary references are added automatically. The Solution Explorer window in Figure 4 should then appear. Next, with the IDE view of Form1.cs [design]*, drag the TrackBar and Label GUI items onto Form1, as in the first example. Switch to view the code in Form1.cs and add a Form1 class variable for the function generator IVI-COM object, fgen; see Listing 5.
In the Form1() constructor (after InitializeComponent()), the fgen object is instantiated (Listing 6). Again as in the first example, double left-click on the TrackBar in the Form1.cs [design]* window, and the IDE automatically adds a skeleton trackBar1_Scroll() function, and prompts you to enter code. The code I added was:
private void trackBar1_Scroll(object sender, System.EventArgs e) { fgen.Output.Frequency = trackBar1.Value; }
The application is now complete and fully functional and after manually adding only four lines of code. These examples show how easy it is to use C# to communicate to electronic test instruments. They also illustrate how easy it is to use C# to call functions in existing DLLs and call COM object methods.

Facts and Tips on 620 Aligner
- It is possible to store the positions of the objectives and return to the positions using the "Set" and "Train" functions in the EV620 menu.
- Vacuum contact will typically yield the best resolution, followed by hard contact, soft contact, and finally proximity.
- The stage should be centered
with the micrometers before the start of any alignment process. This ensures
that the mask will be centered on the mask holder, or the wafer will be
centered on the bond tool or the chuck. This is especially important during bond alignment and back side alignment also make sure that the wafer covers the vacuum groove on the bond tool.
- The vacuum is transferred to the bond tool frame and bond tool or mask holder through o-rings at the back of the cover. The bond tool or mask must be pushed all the way back in the holder to make good vacuum contact. No vacuum grease should be used.
- There is an option in the microscope parameter menu to choose either normal or flat objectives. If you are having difficulty moving the objectives to your alignment keys, switching the objective settings may give the objectives more range.
- The chuck weight LCD readout should read about 300 (270 to 300 range).
Facts and Tips on the EV501 Bonder
- It is possible to switch the units that the software uses by selection "Options" and then "units". The two choices are: mbar for chamber pressure and Newtons for contact force OR torr for chamber pressure and pounds force for contact force (we use the first option). The choice of units is not stored in the recipe file, and should be verified in the "Options" menu before bonding.
- There are green LEDs on the side of the bonder that indicate illumination of the heating lamps. One LED is for the top side heater, and two are for the bottom side heater (there are two circuits for the bottom).
- There are also two green LEDs near the main heater switch on the electronics rack, indicating that a signal is being sent to the heater lamps.
- A common cause of the "low vacuum" error during bond alignment is loose mounting screws for the bond tool insert. These screws can become loose during repeated thermal cycling, and need to be tightened periodically.
- There is a thermocouple in the bottom heater chuck, one in the top heater, and one that makes contact with the bond tool. The software offers the choice of using either the bottom chuck thermocouple or the top thermocouple. The bottom chuck thermocouple is the one that is normally used, especially when bonding in an evacuated chamber.
- The pressure converter window is used for extremely precise control of the contact force. The user must enter the pressure under which the chamber will be during bonding. This allows the software to compensate for any pressure differential between the chamber and the facility ambient.
- The "S" button on the record file chart can be used to configure the chart. The current, voltage, temperatures, and chamber pressure can be set to record or not, and the state lines can be set to show the state of any three of the pump, purge, piston, voltage, or wafer bow.
- The range of the current that the record file records can be set to either 9 or 5 mA or 0 to 50 mA by clicking on the current (I) button.
- The record file can be opened in Microsoft Excel or another spreadsheet program, and customized graphs can be made from the data.

If you made pancakes and caught up on Game of Thrones today instead of going to day two of the Seed, I'm not going to say you made the wrong choice. If you went yesterday (like I did—read about my Saturday visit), there were few reasons to return today since the vendors were basically the same, and if you chose Sunday over Saturday, you may have felt a little cheated when things started winding down around 3pm (when the event is scheduled to run til 6pm). There were some high points, though.
People seemed pretty thrilled to watch Brendan Brazier, triathlete and founder of Vega nutritional supplements, speak. To be honest, I had no idea who he was until I looked him up while writing this, but apparently he's also written some books, which he signed after his talk. I didn't see a ton of lines at the Seed this weekend, but there was definitely one to meet Brazier. I guess I don't know who's who when it comes to vegan athletes (with the exception of the WWE's Daniel Bryan, but he's no longer vegan, anyway), but he gave a pretty decent speech. Mostly about how being vegan is really good for your health, which I think I've heard somewhere before.
I was looking forward to watching John Joseph McGovan's talk. Mostly known as the singer of NYC hardcore band the Cro-Mags, he now spends his days participating in ironman competitions and writing and speaking about veganism and food politics. His speech was a little unorganized, but I wasn't exactly expecting an eloquent delivery from John Joseph. He spoke a lot about the Farmer Assurance Provision, which we all know as the Monsanto Protection Act, and expressed his lack of trust in Big Pharma when it comes to personal health, while sharing how a vegan lifestyle addresses these issues.
Other worthwhile moments included Chef Juan Pablo Chavez's cooking demo and JL Fields's talk earlier in the day about expanding vegan activism from blogging to offline advocacy. Other than that, many of the same vendors were doling out samples and selling their goods, although by midafternoon it looked like several had run out of food and were packing up.
Overall, the Seed wasn't bad this year, but it also wasn't amazing. It may have been worthwhile for new vegans or those curious about the lifestyle, but as a longtime vegan, I wasn't particularly impressed. Still, it's nice to have options.

Wow–you really missed out if you did not hear the mind-blowing presentation by Robert Ostfeld, MD, a cardiologist at Montefiore and co-director of its Cardiac Wellness Program. http://www.montefiore.org/cardiacwellnessprogram
Not kidding–AMAZING.
And before that, Sea Shepherd crew who talked about the Taiji dolphin slaughter and the Dam Guardian campaign (Oregon & Washington state).

I'm curious about JL Field's talk – how exactly did she say to take blogging to offline advocacy?

Elisaon #
Sorry for not responding sooner! I don't get notifications regarding comments on my posts, so I've learned to start checking them more often.
JL primarily discussed how ethics plays in to turning a vegan blog into a business. She gave some sound business advice and discussed how to approach the ethical aspect of veganism with clients (who may only be familiar with the food aspect).
She gave a pretty good recap on her blog: http://jlgoesvegan.com/talking-vegan-activism-beyond-the-blog-at-the-seed-seeing-friends-old-and-new/

he talked about this on BBC2's Something for The Weekend and his episode on food on his stand-up show John Bishop's Britain.

I Want to Change This Year
December 31st, 2012by TheNoNamer
So it's basically 2013 and I give up on those new years resolution. I know I won't follow them, and if I do it won't last. I know the number one thing is to stop hating myself and I just can't, not alone. Number two on my list is to get more friends, REAL friends. I hate it when people tell me to be more social, if people don't want to hang out then I won't hang out with them. Number 3 is to stop my habits, including cuttting. Why I hate my self is because I started comparing myself to how I do math. My problems are like algebra to me, I can't solve them. I know I depend completely on how others see me, when I realized that you can guess that made me feel pathetic. It makes me feel worse because the people at my school are very judgemental and narrow-minded. My grades can get pretty sh*tty, and my step-dad wants straight a's. He yells at me if I don't do something right, my favorite was when he called me a deaf idiot, deaf only from you yelling all the time. I swear it's not child-abuse please don't think that. I just wish he would listen and see I have problems too, ha I end up making myself laugh. As for my mother, she is good hearted she makes sure my dad keeps breathing and she would call a mind doctor if she found out about any of this. She can also be a drunk which I try to hide from my siblings. They say I'm shockingly irresponsible. Oh really? What about that time when I had to keep you awake when you drove us to school when I couldn't breathe because of the alchohol and smoke smell that was filling the car MOM. or that time you fell down the stairs and nearly killed yourself, you have no idea how lucky you are to only end up with bruised ribs MOM. Wait, what about those times I had to hide you from my younger siblings until the beer wore off, and I had to be the responsible one because you couldn't MOM. That was the time I was scared to death that she was going to lose her, it's a thing of the past because she finally sworn off drinking…I hope. I wonder about what my birth dad was like, why mom left him. She says they fought alot, but I know her better than that. Please don't think that I suffer alot because it's nothing compared to people that are starving in Africa, or kids who suffer real child abuse at home. I am as selfish as a person can get, and I hate myself for it. I want someone to talk to, I can't ask any of you because 98% of you don't need to. By the time you are done reading this you will eaither say, "damn what an insecure, selfcentered b*tch" or you might say," if its really that hard to you why don't you take out that bottle of aspirins?" or even," I honestly don't give 1 f*ck, 2 f*cks, red f*cks, or green f*cks because I have problems too." whichever works for you. I don't know how I ended telling a huge part of my life to you, and if you are still reading this congrats you have earned my respect. My point is that I want change this year, I don't know about you guys but I don't want to die just yet. Besides I (literally) don't have the balls to kill myself. Now do yourself and others a favor, and put down your suicide tool. You can still pick up yourself and change.

The decision to release one more interim alpha-version before the beta release was motivated by the following reasons:
1. The release of beta-version, unfortunately, was obscenely delayed
2. Compilation errors in the Monkey v58
So, meet Flixel for Monkey v1.0a2. List of changes:
* Compatibility with Monkey v58
* Added support of the Jungle IDE automatic module updater
* The prefix of internal library assets was changed by suffix _flx. Now you can filter the application resources using standard Monkey tools, without breaking the framework. For example, #IMAGE_FILES = "* _flx.png|* _your_filter.png"
* Added implementation of Revive method for FlxGroup class. This API is absent in original flixel
* Simplified the use of FlxBasic.Cameras property. Now, to specify object cameras use a simple snippet: object.Cameras = [id1, id2, ..]. Note that now FlxBasic.Cameras is a property, rather than a field and, therefore, a CamelCase is used
* Added support of the Cameras property for class FlxGroup. This API is absent in original flixel
* Added FlxText.GetFontObject method. In order for you to have the opportunity to customize the font properties for a particular object
* Added FlxG.RemoveBitmap function. This API is absent in original flixel
* Added the accelerometer support in WP7
* Improved class FlxQuadTree FlxObject.SeparateX and FlxObject.SeparateY functions. Now they do not generate a huge amount of garbage
* The use of class FlxArray is simplified. All methods are replaced by functions, and now you have to use it static. For example, FlxArray<Int>.GetRandom(array)
* Many other bug fixes
But that's not all! Now Flixel for Monkey has a website that will contain some useful information. Hope you enjoy it!
Official website: http://devolonter.github.com/flixel-monkey/. There you can download the latest version of the framework.
P.S. Now you can support the project financially! In Donate section you will find everything that's necessary for it:) Thank you!

I am 26, I had gastric bypass surgery and am now at my goal weight and would like to get a Tummy Tuck.
My question is, I haven't had any kids yet, but plan to in the future, would getting a Tummy Tuck before kids kind of be redundant? Since pregnancy can cause more skin down the road, stretch marks, etc? Thanks for your time.
