" home of insidious poisoning records "
Insidious Poisoning Records is a very small black metal record label and associated webstore based in France. The record label itself is nothing to write home about as they have only a handful of obscure releases out to date, although these do include releases by Lyrinx, a promising UK black metal band who play in the depressive/shoegaze style of Trist and Hypothermia.
Insidious Poisoning's mailorder catalogue is very large however, and consists exclusively of black metal releases and nothing else. Though they carry the obligatory bigger bands like Darkthrone and Gorgoroth, the majority of the catalogue is given over to rare and obscure titles, and there are usually some good finds awaiting anyone prepared to work their way through the long list of titles, which can be downloaded in both Word and Adobe Acrobat formats.
The prices are reasonable if not particularly cheap, generally hovering around the 11 euro mark plus postage, although there are also numerous bargains on offer for as little as 4 euros. In addition to cds the site also stocks a fair number of stricly limited vinyls as well as cassette tapes, tshirts and obscure music zines, although some of these are in French. The site is simple but well laid out, although it does use some rather small fonts that can be a pain to read. The main problem is with postage, which adds a minimum of another 3 or 4 euros to each order, making the order totals often fairly expensive unless items are ordered in bulk, in which case postage rates are better value, with small discounts also available for large orders. It may be worthwhile getting postal insurance however, as the site takes no responsibility for items that are lost in the post, although this of course puts the overall price up yet further. They dont take credit cards, although they do accept paypal, bank transfers, or posted cash or postal orders.
Whilst Insidious Poisoning is a useful site for tracking down limited items on cd and vinyl, and they have proved very friendly, helpful and reliable in my dealings with them, it might be worth checking out UK based distributor Supernal Music first however, as they tend to sell similar items at a much cheaper price, and with lower postage costs too. Should you not be able to find the release you are looking for from a UK seller however, Insidious Poisoning is a good alternative.

Noli me Tangere Chapter 15 summary
At the height of the storm, the two brothers who Tasio was speaking to were at the second floor of the church tower. The boys, age seven and 10, are Crispin and Basilio, sacristans that were ordered by the curate to ring the bell.
Up there, the two boys were talking about the two stolen gold coins which were being blamed on Crispin. The two gold coins are worth P32.00, which are then worth 160 cuartos Crispin imagined that two gold could buy their mother an umbrella, shoes for their feet, a hat for his head, and clothes for all of them.
He then wish he stole them because he can produce what the curate is demanding, and that even if the curate beat him to death, Basilio and his mother could have at least some clothes. Basilio is also worried how their mother would react upon learning but Crispin said he will just show the welts on his back and torn pockets.
While they were still discussing, the senior sacristan appeared and ordered Basilio to stay until 10 in the evening while Crispin would not be allowed to go home until what he allegedly stole was returned. The two beg the senior sacristan to allow them to leave at eight because their mother is expecting them and they haven't seen her for a week.
The sacristan gave no heed and dragged Crisipin to the stairway and began beating him. Basilio continued to work on the belfry and after he was done, the rain gradually stopped pouring and the sky began clearing.

Pappadeaux's Key Lime Pie with Raspberry Sauce
Recipe by Lorac
The highlight of my first meal at Pappadeaux, a deliciously different version of the standard pie.
Top Review by TommyGato
This pie was a big hit on Thanksgiving. Everyone thought the raspberry sauce was the perfect compliment and made the pie taste fantastic. It was easy to make using jam that had the seeds already filtered out; the crust and filling were quick and easy to make also. At our local Pappadeaux's, I would describe the pecans in the crust as "finely chopped" since you can taste and almost feel tiny bits of them in your mouth. I ground mine in the blender almost into pecan butter and my crust was good but it wasn't the same. Next time I'll think "chop" rather than "grind". Another difference is that the resturant serves what looks like a tall slice of cheesecake. Doubling this recipe and using an 8 or 9 inch springform pan would probably be closer to Pappadeaux's version of this wonderful desert.

Kobe vs Jordan: Who is the Greatest Basketball Player of All Time?
Kobe Bryant vs Michael Jordan, who is the greatest of all time? Ultimately it's an argument of personal choice, but what if we look at just the hard data? Guest author Henry (Chito) Flores compares Kobe & Jordan's career stats and accomplishments to see how they measure up.
Kobe Bryant Career Stats & Highlights
Kobe's nickname is black mamba, an extremely lethal & deadly poisonous snake. Kind of like Kobe on the basketball court against his opponents – deadly, lethal, and quick.
Kobe a 13 year veteran in the NBA, has been proven a man amongst boys on the basketball court. As a scorer he averages 25.2 points per game, which is even more incredible considering that average is over a 13 year career span in the NBA. He scored 81 points in a single game (2006-2007 season) which is second only to Wilt Chamberlain's highest point scoring game record.
A five-time NBA world champion. Currently in his 2010-2011 season going for his sixth championship, which would tie him with Michael Jordan. He's been finals MVP twice, league MVP once, all NBA defensive 9 times and all NBA 8 times. He admits, all he cares about now is leaving his mark as one of the greatest (if not THE greatest) basketball player ever to touch a ball.
But despite his truly impressive record, is he really a better baller than Michael Jordan? Since Michael Jordan's retirement basketball fans of both players have argued all of the finer points. Let's take a look at Jordan's career stats & highlights and see for ourselves.
Michael Jordan Career Stats & Highlights
Michael Jordan, nicknamed Air Jordan because he appeared to glide through the air in his signature dunking moves. Considered, for years, to be the absolute paragon of basketball virtue – THE ideal basketball player – scoring, rebounds, assists, team play and overall sportsmanship. For years aspiring youth everywhere wanted to "Be Like Mike". His endorsements were on every station, bus bench, billboard and magazine. His arial silhouette adorned the shirts and sneakers on courts across the world. How does this 90's icon measure up in stats?
In high school he didn't make the cut for the varsity team, in fact he was cut from the team entirely. Perseverance was perhaps his greatest asset, and he diin't let that stop him from loving the game. He channeled it into motivation that powered his rise to greatness – practice, improve, practice, improve – through high school, college ball, and finally the NBA. His work ethic was out of this world. He played hurt, sick no matter what – he played.
He went on to play in the NBA for 15 incredible seasons, winning Six NBA championships, in two 3-peats. His career scoring average is 30.1 points per game, which one of the highest career average ever. Jordan won MVP three times, all NBA team defense nine times, all NBA first team ten times. The list of accomplishments and accolades goes on and on.
So is his legacy so for far ahead of everyone else that no one will ever supersede his accomplishments?
So then who really IS the Greatest Basketball Player of all Time?
Unless we could reverse the hands of time placing Kobe and Michael head to head in the prime of their careers we will never truly know who is a better player? We all have different perspectives and ideas about each player whether good or bad.
Chances are, if you grew up in the 90's watching Michael dominate the courts then you will probably be in the Michael Jordan camp. On the other hand if you grew up in the 2000's you will more likely be rooting for Kobe Bryant. So who knows, perhaps this is an argument with-out a simple and definite solution.

The Facilities Administration Council will from time to time develop and revise rules and regulations for the use of facilities. Such rules and regulations must be approved by the President of the college.
The fee schedule for use of college facilities by non-college groups is given in No. 29. The usage fee includes the base plus any supplemental fees. The base fee includes maintenance and upkeep, utilities, administrative and management support, and a service fee. Supplemental fees are charged for use of and set up of staging, tables, chairs, etc., as well as for custodial and other special services.
All charges are applied equally to all groups except that charges for indirect costs may be waived for other state agencies and usually for county school systems.

No direct costs will be waived.

The White Stripes' official site revealed that the band has just shot a new video and record never-before-heard songs.
The White Stripes is back, their official website has revealed. The band that shut down their remaining 2007 tour in September, has just recorded a video and some new material plus a new version of their song.
The post on their website read, "The White Stripes have just filmed an exciting new video and recorded three never-before-heard original songs (with a special collaboration) and one unique new version of a song from their latest album 'Icky Thump'."
The website will reveal the release dates of the new songs and the premiere schedule of the video in the coming weeks.
The band pulled the tour after member Meg White was said to suffer from "acute anxiety" that disabled her from traveling for the gigs.

tblo163 posted a topic in New Member IntroductionsHello everyone,as I am new to the forum,I would like to offer a little gift,a birth sign avitar just 4 you.
tblo163 posted a topic in Ford Escort ClubA friend,who lives in Wales,is allways asking me for help to fix his Escort,and as I live in Nottingham,I can't keep "nipping" round to help him.His latest problem was the Auxillary drive belt had snapped,his local motor shop told him there were different sizes,so he contacted me.After confirming he didn't have Air-con,I told him the correct size to buy.He got back to me saying it was too long and couldn't figure how to route it round the pullies and there was no instructions in his manual.So, I sent him this and told him to save it for future reference.
tblo163 replied to sam1.416v's topic in Technical KnowledgeHi Sam,Need model of stereo to identify pin outs,however if you just want to check which speaker is connected to a paricular wire,connect a 1.5 battery to the speaker wires and you will here it "click",and if you can see the cone you will see it move.
tblo163 posted a topic in Technical KnowledgeThere has been numerous MOT failures here in the UK,the centre seat belt that is inside the fold down seat back is prone to failure,it usually jams solid and is unusable.There are various options,depending on how much you wish to spend to fix it:-Main dealer prices would be expensive,as the seat has to be dismantled,(removing the foam interior etc.,)& this would incur high labour charges.If you are prepared to do the work your self you could install a replacement into the existing seat back,I find the easiest and cheapest is to get a complette one from the breaker's yard,there is lots of them and you should be able to match the colour ok.However,that's the easy part,there is a "key"inserted into the anchor housing which must be disconected,the attachment shows how to do this.It seems to be a "secret"as the dealers don't want you to know about it.Also do not condem the belt until you have made sure that the seat has been "slammed" shut,it is this catch that releases the belt.Good luck!
tblo163 posted a topic in Ford Escort ClubMy first ford was a 1935 Y type and I've owned just about every model since,from V8 Pilot to Zodiac,I saw a recent program on TV about the history of the Escort,it was complettely misleading,it indicated that the 1st Escort was introduced as the MK1,in 1967,however I owned an Escort which was built in 1955.The 1955 Escort was introduced in Sept.,as an estate car,there were two models,Escort (basic)and Squire (de-lux)the Squire had wooden side strips and upgraded interior.They were powered by the 1172cc 10hp side valve engine.Engine numbers Escort 157603 > Squire 155392>.Allthough the side valve unit was not particularly high powered,it was very smooth and quiet,having less moving parts than the OHV engines.
tblo163 replied to sarah streetka's topic in Audio & ElectronicsIf it's a cassette player then,yes,see my new post,july 18th 2010.
tblo163 posted a topic in Audio & ElectronicsI have noticed a lot of threads from members wanting to connect a MP3 player to their 5000 RDS radio cassette,there is an easy and cheap way to do this (approx £1.50p) I was considering a cd changer,but decided that it would limit me to the number of music files,where a MP3 Player would give me the option of 100s.So take the top cover off the head unit,you will see the tape pick up and 3 wires (screened) going to the circuit board.You will need a 3.5mm stereo jack socket and a suitable lengh of cable,also an old cassette stripped of all the tape.All you need to do is splice the new wires into the existing ones eg.,red=right,white=left,black=screen.I decided to make it neater by removing the front and mounting the socket on it(6.6mm hole)when conecting the wires to the socket,the tip of the 3.5mm plug is white/left and the middle is red/right.That's it! The empty cassette is the switch,when inserted it will turn the tuner off the same as if you had inserted a normal cassette.Volume can be controlled either by the head unit or the MP3player,I find that the best balance is MP3 volume about 75%,and adjust volume,bass,treble etc.,via the radio.Sound quality is excellent.there is enough power from the MP3 to drive the pre-amp on the board,and the amplification is excellent.Obviously you will need a 3.5mm jack to jack plug to connect your player and it should be long enough for you to change tracks if you need to.The other alternative would be to just feed the wire through the front of the set and connect it to the pick up (not so neat)but works just as well. Good luck. I have had to edit this information because I have discovered a problem that was previously unknown.It appears that the 5000RDS has more than one type of pick up head,one is a normal stereo head with two channels,this is easily modified to enable MP3 playback and the sound quality is excellent.The other is a four channel quad-stereo unit,this will also work but there is considerable sound distortion,so I will have to research this to find the best place to introduce the signal.If you have the 2 channel set,then there is no problem.

A Salt Lake City man was charged with a felony after he and two others allegedly dressed up as police officers, stormed a home in West Jordan and assaulted two men while looking for drugs.
An affidavit filed Tuesday in 3rd District Court alleges that the 35-year-old man took part in the 2009 home invasion when he, a 38-year-old man and a juvenile stormed into a house dressed in police uniforms and masks while carrying guns, telling the men to get on the ground.
The intruders tied the men up with zip ties and demanded to know where drugs and money were located in the house. The men also allegedly kicked the men and assaulted them with the butts of their rifles.
When police arrived, all but one of the three had fled. The 38-year-old was stuck in the basement, so he hit himself in the face, tied himself up and tried to make it look like he was one of the victims in the burglary. The man was later arrested, charged and convicted on one count of aggravated burglary.
Sometime after his arrest, the 38-year-old identified the 35-year-old Salt Lake City man and an unidentified juvenile as the two others in the burglary.
Prosecutors say they matched DNA at the burglary to that of the 35-year-old.

Dragons answer call of the past
Page Tools
Breathing fire
Dean Young scores in the Dragons' first-half
blitz against North Queensland last night.

Cowboys 16 Dragons 36
Emotional Dragons coach Nathan Brown asked his players to replicate the spirit of the 1977 St George premiership side before they ran out to demolish North Queensland at Dairy Farmers Stadium last night.
After a minute's silence to commemorate the passing of '77 grand final prop Robert Stone, St George Illawarra blazed to a 22-0 lead after 27 minutes before coasting to a 36-16 victory that put them third behind Parramatta on points difference on the NRL ladder.
Brown said it would be crass to suggest Stone's death was a motivating factor for his team.
"Using someone's death to fire a team up - I think it's quite sad if you rely on that," he said after the six-try shellacking.
"[But] we spoke about the team bond they must have had in the team that won the '77 comp.
"For the funeral, you saw walking down the aisle basically every player. It's 26 or 27 years since they won so they must have had a special bond, you know?
"We spoke about [the fact that] that bond must be what it takes to win.
"What he's left will carry on. His son and daughter told me on Wednesday night that we'll be playing with 14 this week."
St George Illawarra props Luke Bailey and Jason Ryles certainly evoked memories of some of the best front-rowers from both clubs that make up the joint-venture with commanding performances.
Bailey, bound for the Gold Coast in 2007, lived up to his nickname of "Bull" with a Pamplona-style trampling of the locals, revealing afterwards that he had primed himself for a torrid battle with North Queensland props Paul Rauhihi and Carl Webb from the kick-off.
"Our forward pack's been going well this year, so we knew teams would come out and try and whack us and put us off our game," he said. "You've got to be on your game or you'll get touched up."
That battle never really eventuated, although tries to Cowboys centre Paul Bowman and fullback Matt Bowen either side of half-time gave the 21,021 local fans some hope at 22-12.
The Dragons regained control, however, when skipper Trent Barrett ducked under a David Faiumu tackle to score with 16 minutes left; winger Colin Best closing the visitors' account with his 16th try of the season three minutes later.
"We've laid a pretty good platform in the last three games, four games and we didn't want to drop our bundle as some people are probably expecting us to," said five-eighth Barrett, hit heavily in several contentious incidents.
"We've been in this position before, where we're going to make the top four, going to win the comp, going to do this, going to do that and we haven't.
"We've got Brisbane next week. We have to improve."
Bowen finished the night with a corked hip, while Dragons lock Shaun Timmins was convinced his ankle injury was not serious.
The one positive for the Cowboys was their success in containing boom St George Illawarra centre Mark Gasnier.
Coach Graham Murray, who singled out his winger Matt Sing for saving several tries, compared the victors to competition front-runners Brisbane. "We're in a decent spot on the ladder, we're not saying we can't make it, we've got some football in front of us," Murray said.
But Barrett summed up the significance of the win for his players when he said: "We wanted to win, not just for [Stone] but it was nice, I guess, for his family and he's got some friends here as well who came to watch. I think he'd have a smile on his face now."
ST GEORGE ILLAWARRA 36 (S Timmins, D Young, B Creagh, L Thompson, T Barrett, C Best tries; W Naiqama 3, M Ennis 3 goals) bt

Professor of Mathematics Gregory S. Call, who has served as interim dean of the faculty at Amherst for the past two years, was officially appointed dean by President Anthony W. Marx in May. "It has been a privilege to serve the faculty, our students and the college community for the past two years," said Call, who has taught at Amherst since 1988, "and I am honored to have the opportunity to continue."
In a message to the college announcing Call's appointment, Marx wrote, "During the past two years, we have all benefited from his many talents as a scholar, teacher and administrator; from his understanding of Amherst's unique culture; from his devotion to the college; and from his dedication to supporting the work of faculty, students and staff."
A mathematician with special interests in algebraic number theory, arithmetic geometry and cryptography, Call received an A.B. degree summa cum laude in mathematics from Dartmouth College and A.M. and Ph.D. degrees from Harvard University. Call served as Amherst's dean of new students during the 2002-03 academic year.
The dean of the faculty is the second-ranking officer of the college and works closely with the president on all college business, administers departmental budgets and oversees academic departments in the preparation of tenure cases and in faculty searches. The dean also serves on many college committees, including, in Call's case, the Committee on Academic Priorities, which is assessing Amherst's future academic needs.

|Product Descriptions as Social Constructs
|The Cave
|Written by Editor
|Tuesday, 17 May 2011 13:27
IVP has released a new book called The End of Sexual Identity. The book challenges the idols of categories like "gay" and "straight," social constructs that do not take into account complex postmodern realities—themselves social constructs developed by professors who spent too much time in junior high huffing model airplane glue out of brown paper lunch bags.
Where was I? Ah . . . here is the Amazon product description.
Product Description
But here is the concern that we all have here in the editorial department of the Cave (located in the back, where it is particularly dark, and kind of damp), which is that we are prioritizing this all wrong. Before we can topple the idols of sexual identity, we must first throw down the idol of Amazon's quote unquote product descriptions. Ya know? This is an idol which has maimed more souls, isolated more egos, and marginalized more people than any other idol in the history of North America. Think about it! It is beyond ironic that IVP failed to come to grips with this idolatry before listing their new book with Amazon. Physician, heal thyself! And not only did they allow a product description, they also allowed the book to be categorized—given an identity, forsooth!—under Books > Religion & Spirituality > Religious Studies > Gender & Sexuality. But before the Enlightenment, there were no such Amazon categories. Is this not obvious, people? Before Oscar Wilde, there were no gender & sexuality books. So why do we put up with them now? Hmmm?

Hi Adam - the main problem with the realtek chipset under m0n0 (and *BSD I
guess) is that there are so many implementations of the chipset.
If the chipset is poorly implemented, the windows drivers seem to just deal
with it better. The BSD drivers seem to be less forgiving.
The only real answer is "suck it and see" and make sure you report back to
the list so the rest of us know :) Make sure the supplier knows what you're
doing so that if it doesn't work you can return for a refund.
Having four NICs would be an advantage over the two and three port wraps and
soekris boards.

Bucs sign RT Dotson to four-year deal
Demar Dotson has gone from project to prospect.
Dotson, a former basketball player at Southern Mississippi who played only one year of organized football on the defensive line, signed a four-year contract worth $4.5-million Thursday, the team announced.
Last March, the Bucs signed Dotson to a 2-year, $2.5-million contract as a restricted free agent. The 6-foot-9, 315-pound Dotson wound up taking over the starting right tackle job from Jeremy Trueblood in Week 2 last season.
Under terms of the new contract, Dotson will earn $2-million in 2013, including a $1-million roster bonus. His new deal has base salaries of $1.25-million in 2014, $1.5-million in 2015 and $1.75-million in 2016.
Dotson signed with the Bucs as an undrafted free agent in 2009 and was converted from defensive to offensive tackle.
"He brings incredible work ethic and focus and commitment to get better,'' Bucs coach Greg Schiano said of Dotson at the NFL owners meetings. "And when you get those two guards back (Carl Nicks and Davin Joseph) back, that makes his life better, too.''

Would you like to save as your currency permanently or for this visit only?
Location, and the restuarant for dinner. Excellent food and good wine - service very good. Very freindly staff in both restuarant and hotel. The pillows really need replacing. We have stayed in two different rooms and in both they are very poor and thin. Take your own. Beds ae comfortable. The shower again in our room didnt work properly and again this is an area that could easily be updated by the hotel and one that is actualyl necesary for the prices that they charge. We would stay here again - and hope that they may consider updating these points in the hotel as it really is the only thing that lets it down for us.
Easy to find. Excellent staff. Spotlessly clean. Biasca, Switzerland is a beautiful quaint town. No.
The room was basic, staff friendly, most spoke english, the food in their restaurant was the best we had in Switzerland for the price.
Good breakfast No Balkony
breakfast was nice, staff really friendly the beds were not really comfortable
Friendly staff, good restaurant - good hotel for a stop over heading south.
very friendly staff - excellent price - excellent restaurant Not a thing
The helpfulness of the staff when my husband slipped and fell during the night. The location is nice. The shower room is very small, and a sliding door instead of one that opens inwards would be a very sensible modification.
Convenience to what I needed to do and helpfulness of staff.
How can you have a room with a bed that's 60cm wide ?

Rosetta's Wake-up Call
The European Space Agency's (ESA) deep-sleep spacecraft – Rosetta — is due for a wake-up call in 100 days' time.
Shot into space in early March 2004, the ESA probe is en route to comet 67P/Churyumov–Gerasimenko. Rosetta is an orbiter and lander mission, designed to show us more about the role of comets in the evolution of the solar system.
Rosetta's internal alarm clock is set for 10:00 GMT on January 20, 2014.
Once it wakes up, Rosetta will first warm up its navigation instruments and then it must stop spinning to point its main antenna at Earth, to let the ground team know it is still alive and mission ready.
After wake-up, Rosetta will still be about 6 million miles (9 million kilometers) from the comet. As it moves closer, the 11 instruments on the orbiter and 10 on the lander will be turned on and checked.
A busy bird!
It has previously completed a complex series of flybys – three times past Earth and once past Mars. It also flew by and imaged two asteroids, Steins on September 5, 2008 and Lutetia on July 10, 2010.
In July 2011, Rosetta was put into deep-space hibernation for the coldest, most distant leg of the journey to its ultimate destination, comet 67P/Churyumov–Gerasimenko.
What's ahead?
According to an ESA press statement, at the end May next year, Rosetta will execute a major maneuver to line up for rendezvous with the comet in August.
The first images of a distant 67P/Churyumov–Gerasimenko are expected in May, which will dramatically improve calculations of the comet's position and orbit.
Closer in, Rosetta will take thousands of images that will provide further details of the comet's major landmarks, its rotation speed and spin axis orientation.

Pilkington took studied music extensively in his youth and received a bachelor of music degree from the University of Oxford Lincoln College, Oxford, in 1595, . He became a cantor lay clerk at Chester cathedral Cathedral in 1602 , and a minor canon in 1612. His First Book of Ayres 10 years later. After taking holy orders in 1614, Pilkington held various curacies in Chester as well as a rectorship in nearby Aldford. He remained involved in the Chester Cathedral choir, however, and in 1623 was named its precentor (song leader), a position he held until his death.
Despite his active career in the church, Pilkington published primarily secular compositions. The First Booke of Songs or Ayres of 4 Parts (1605) contains 21 songs for four voices or for solo voice and lute and a Pavin for Lute and Bass Viol. He published sets of madrigals in 1613 and 1624. Though , as well as a pavane for lute and bass viol. While showing some influence of English composer John Dowland in their attempts at expressiveness, Pilkington's songs more closely resemble the melodic ayres of Thomas Campion and Philip Rosseter, even as their structure generally has been deemed inferior. Pilkington's shortest compositions, especially Rest sweet nimphes, are considered by some to be his best. The volume was dedicated to William Stanley, 6th earl of Derby, whose father and brother had served as patrons for Pilkington and his family.
Pilkington later published two sets of madrigals. Though the madrigals are not of the first rank, they are pleasing and well constructed. Particularly known is the madrigal O Softly Singing Lute, for six voices. He also The First Set of Madrigals and Pastorals of 3, 4, and 5 Parts (1613) is rooted in the light and, at the time, somewhat antiquated style of English madrigalist Thomas Morley. The 22-piece collection notably includes a resetting of When Oriana walkt to take the ayre, a madrigal by Pilkington's one-time colleague Thomas Bateson (the former organist of Chester Cathedral) that paid tribute to Queen Elizabeth I. More accomplished, however, is The Second Set of Madrigals and Pastorals of 3, 4, 5, and 6 Parts (1624), which offers a broader range of works, including a fantasia for six viols. Particularly known among its 26 compositions are the madrigals O softly singing lute, for six voices, and the five-voice Care, for thy soule, which has been noted for its sophisticated use of chromaticism. In addition to the pieces in his three printed collections, Pilkington composed a number of solo works for lute.

"Float Like a Butterfly, Sting Like a Bee"
Heavyweight Boxer Cassius Clay who later changed his name to Muhammad Ali, described his fighting style with the words: "Float like a butterfly, sting like a bee".
Another contender with heavyweight specifications but a lightweight body, is the HTC J Butterfly smartphone with a 5-inch screen putting it directly into a form-factor classification known as phablets. The J Butterfly joins the Oppo Find 5 in a rarefied, but soon to explode category, of full-HD, 1,080p, high-resolution smartphones that make Apple Inc.'s so-called "retina display" look like last year's obsolete technology.
Considering the slow pace of Apple's iPhone releases by comparison to other manufacturers, the situation is serious enough to make Apple's top executives cringe at what could become a flock of smartphones released before the next generation iPhone, with displays that are vastly superior to Apple's current iPhone 5.
The Eyes Have It
Even more important than display size, the primary feature that determines perception of quality in a display screen is the PPI density (Pixels Per Inch). Recently this writer covered a 651 PPI, 2.3-inch display by Japan Display Inc. (JDI) that appears to be only a research and development device for now. That display offers almost precisely twice the PPI of Apple's iPhone 5, but does not pose an immediate threat for three reasons.
First: it is not nearly large enough for most device applications. Second: the current state of graphics hardware and software operating systems are not capable of controlling the total number of pixels that 651 PPI would generate on larger displays. Third: software developers have not written enough code for controlling such large total pixel counts. The upshot is that it will probably be twelve to eighteen months before consumer devices with 651 PPI displays of five-inches and larger become available to the public.
The Future Threat to Apple Arrives in 2012
[caption id="attachment_8073" align="alignright" width="300"] HTC J Butterfly[/caption]
Apple's "retina display" provides only 326 PPI by comparison to 440 to 443 PPI displays on smartphones that will be released in the immediate future. Those new display screens bring a 35% improvement in pixel density over Apple's "retina display".
The HTC J Butterfly will probably be released in Japan before the end of 2012, with a later arrival in the USA, accompanied by a change of name better attuned to U.S. markets.
A release date for the Oppo Find 5 has not been announced, but it's only a few months away at most, and may be available to consumers before the end of 2012.
Incoming Barrage of 440 - 443 PPI Full-HD 1,080p Displays
LG is the company that will provide full-HD screens for the Oppo Find 5, and without any doubt to several other companies by early 2013.
Sharp Corporation is producing its own 5-inch full-HD (1,080 x 1,920 pixels) LCD panels for smartphones utilizing CG-Silicon (Continuous-Grain Silicon) technology and a new pixel design.
It's reasonable to expect most smartphone manufacturers to make products using 440 - 443 PPI display screens from LG, Sharp, or other sources within a matter of months.
Apple Inc. may want to hide in a bunker and batten down the hatches, because if pixels were projectiles, Apple would be punched full of holes.

Sautéing was a method of cooking food in a thin pan with high heat.
In 2369, Commander Benjamin Sisko and Lieutenant Jadzia Dax had dinner together in Quark's. Dax's choice of food was steamed azna. She told Sisko that he should consider having steamed anza to eat, as she believed it would add years onto his life. Sisko replied that he didn't want to add years onto his life if he could only eat steamed azna. He told Dax he might consider eating it if it was sautéed, rolloped or fricasseed. (DS9: "A Man Alone")
In 2370, while trying to convince Fallit Kot not to kill him, Quark gave him a free meal in his bar, consisting of Vak clover soup and jumbo Vulcan mollusks sautéed in rhombolian butter. (DS9: "Melora")
In 2371, Commander Sisko prepared a meal for the senior staff of Deep Space 9 in his quarters that included sautéed beets. (DS9: "Equilibrium")
Later that year, during The Doctor's delusion on the USS Voyager's holodeck, a hologram of Neelix knocked out a Kazon with his sauté pan. (VOY: "Projections")
In 2373, Quark prepared numerous meals for the Regent of Palamar before his arrival at Deep Space 9, including Palamarian sea urchin, lightly sautéed in garlic and moon grass. (DS9: "Business as Usual")
In 2375, Noss gave Neelix her recipe for sautéed spiders. (VOY: "Gravity")

Dear Perlmonks,
I am querying a sqlite database which contains XML data in a TEXT column using DBI.
Here is a sample of the data contained in that column:
<element xmlnssi="http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema-instance" xmlnssd="http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema"><items><item><data>some text here</data></item></items></element>
Although I can successfully retrieve the content of that column via a SELECT statement and performing some search and replace to get only the content of element/items/item/data, this is unsatisfactory:
I would like to be able to match the content of /element/items/item/data directly against a LIKE expression such as (pseudo-code):
How could I achieve this? What modules would I need?
Thanks for your help.

IT typically runs once a day for an hour. > you really have filesystems that get quickly fragmented (or are you Yes, fragmentation with xfs is enourmous - I have yet to see whether the changes in recent kernels make a big difference, but for log files, reading through a log file with 60000 fragments tends to be much slower than reading through one with just a few fragments (or just one...). Freenet and other daemons are also creating enourmous fragmentation. As such. xfs is much much worse at fragmentation than ext4, but at least it has xfs_fsr, which at least reduces file fragmentation. > just running it from a cron-job because having on-line > defragmentation is what all the cool kids do ;)? Didn't know that, maybe I should run it more often then... Or maybe not, now that you tell me I shouldn't because xfs implementation quality is so much lower than for other filesystems? > If you are getting fragmentation, what is the workload that is causing > it? Basically, anything but the OS itself. Copying large video files while the disk is busy with other things causes lots of fragmentation (usually 30 fragments for a 100mb file), which in turn slows down things enourmously once the disk reaches 95% full. Freenet is also a good test case. As are logfiles. Or a news spool. Or database files for databases that grow files (such as mysql myisam) - fortunately I could move of all those to SSDs this year. Or simply unpacking an archive. Simple example - the www.deliantra.net gameserver writes logs to a logfile and stdout, which is redirected to another logfile in the same directory (which gets truncated on each restart). Today I had to reboot the server because of buggy xfs (which prompted the bugreport, as I am seeing this bug for a while now, but so far didn't want to exclude e.g. bad ram or simply a corrupt filesystem), and in the 4 hours uptime, I got a 4MB logfile with 8 fragments. This is clearly an improvement over the 2.6.26 kernel I used before on that machine. But over a few months this still leads to thousands of fragments, and scanning through a few gigabytes of log file that has 60000 fragments on a disk that isn't completely idle is not exactly fast. The webserver accesslog on that machine which is a file on its own in its own directory is 15MB big (it was restarted beginning last month) and has 1043 fragments (it doesn't get defragmented by xfs_fsr because it is in use). OTOH, that filesystem isn't used much and has 300gb free out of 500, so it is surprising that I still get so many fragments (the files are only closed when runing xfs_fsr on them, which is once every few weeks). Freenet fares much worse. The persistent blob has 1757 fragments for 13gb (not that bad), and the download database has 22756 for 600mb, fragments (that sucks). On my tv, the recorded video files that haven't been defragmented yet have between 11 and 63 fragments (all smaller than 2gb), which is almost acceptable, but I do not think that without a regular xfs_fsr the fs would be in that good shape after one or two years of usage. The cool thing about xfs_fsr is not that the cool kids run it, but that, unlike other filesystems that also fragment a lot (ext3 is absolutely horrible for example), it can mostly be fixed. Given that xfs is clearly the lowest quality of the common filesystems on linux (which I mean to be reiserfs, ext2/3/4 - and before you ask, literally each time I run a file system check xfs_repair crashes or hangs, and the filesystems have some issues, on all my numerous machines, and the number of bugs I have hit with xfs is easily twice the amount of bugs I hit with reiserfs and extX together, and I was an early adopter of reiserfs, before it even had a fsck), it is important to have some features left that cancel this general lack of quality. Right now, these features for me are the very tunable nature of xfs (for example, 512b block size for news spools), the very fast xfs_repair and the long-term maintainability of the filesystem - a heavily used ext3 filesystem basically becomes unusable after a year. Another feature was the very good feedback I got from this list in the past w.r.t. bugs and fixes (while nowadays I have to listen to "xfs is optimised for nfs not for your use" or "then don't use it" replies to bug reports). All that and the fact that I haven't lost a single important file and the steady improvements to performance in XFS make xfs currently my filesystem of choice, especially for heavy-duty applications. PS: I run xfs on a total of about 40TB of filesystems at the moment. PPS: sorry for being so forcefully truthful about xfs above, but you really need an attitude change - don't tell people to not use a feature, or tell them they probably just want to be cool kids - the implementation quality of xfs is far from that of reiserfs or ext3 (not sure about ext4 yet, but I do expect e2fsck to not let me down as often as xfs_repair), there are things to do, and I contribute what little I can by testing xfs with actual workloads. -- The choice of a Deliantra, the free code+content MORPG -----==- _GNU_ http://www.deliantra.net ----==-- _ generation ---==---(_)__ __ ____ __ Marc Lehmann --==---/ / _ \/ // /\ \/ / schmorp@xxxxxxxxxx -=====/_/_//_/\_,_/ /_/\_\

From Michael Jordan's famous midair, hand-switching layup to Mike Tyson's infamous midfight chomp on Evander Holyfield's ear, Michael Wilbon has had a front-row seat for countless unforgettable sports moments. He set out on that career path as a senior at St. Ignatius (Chicago) -- about the same time he realized he wasn't destined for a pro baseball career. In addition to teaming with Tony Kornheiser for "Pardon The Interruption," Wilbon also talks hoops regularly on "NBA Shootaround," so we asked him about a few of today's NBA stars who went from the preps to the pros.
ESPNHS: What was your high school sports experience like?
Wilbon: I played baseball for two years and tennis for one year at St. Ignatius in Chicago, and it actually helped me figure out who I was. It sort of laid out my career. I was OK doing team sports because I like the camaraderie, taking trips to play other teams together. But I didn't like it because, part of me was an individual sports person. I didn't really collaborate all that much.
Here I am now, I only play individual sports, like tennis and golf. So it was very accurate about what I would become. Of course, growing up, I wanted to play professional baseball like a lot of kids. But high school showed me that I didn't have that kind of talent. So after I quit the baseball team before my senior year, I ended up marrying my two interests, which were writing and sports.
ESPNHS: How often did you cover high school sports when you started out as a journalist?
Wilbon: Very little. When I started at the Washington Post, Georgetown was recruiting Patrick Ewing, so suddenly Georgetown became a major beat at the paper and I was assigned to cover them. Along the way, though, I saw a lot of guys play in high school who went on to the NBA. I saw Sherman Douglas before he went to Syracuse. I saw Danny Ferry when he was at DeMatha (Hyattsville, Md.). I saw Adrian Branch at DeMatha, too.
ESPNHS: What impact did not going to college have on guys like Kobe and LeBron?
Wilbon: It changed all of them. You look at the players before them -- did going to college hurt Michael Jordan? Did it hurt guys like Ewing and David Robinson? Did it hurt Grant Hill, who for seven years there, before he got hurt, was a beast? Did it hurt Tim Duncan staying at Wake Forest for four years? Of course not.
Kobe and I talk about this all the time in a good-natured way. There's no way you can tell me he wouldn't have been a better player by spending some time at Duke in that system. He disagrees with me and he knows I disagree with him.
ESPNHS: What exactly do you feel like they missed by not having that college experience?
Wilbon: In college, you learn how to rely on your teammates better. The whole AAU system doesn't teach you that; it does the opposite. I talk to guys like Michael Jordan and Magic Johnson and they agree. Magic would come home after games at Michigan State and be frustrated that he couldn't do it all by himself. So it forced him to learn how to depend on guys like Greg Kelser and Jay Vincent.
I wouldn't call it failing because he's a great player, but what does LeBron have issues doing? Closing games. You look at all the great players who won championships, except Kobe with his last two -- and even then, he had to figure out he needed help on the Lakers. Those guys learned how to do it in March. Kobe might be the last one who has won it all without having that tournament experience. LeBron is a great, great player, but to me it's evident what's missing. It's not a big thing, but it's an important thing.
There are plenty of guys who don't become great at winning, but look at all the guys who won in March and then look at how they did in the pros. Even a guy like Derrick Rose with just one year at Memphis, you see the difference. Look at guys like Bill Russell, Bill Bradley. Larry Bird learned how to use his teammates in college, and they learn how to be coached, too. You make that transition from boyhood to manhood. They knew they couldn't do it by themselves. At one time, they probably thought they could, but those are the cultural aspects of basketball that you have to learn.
ESPNHS: How different are things when Kobe and Kevin Garnett came out of high school in the '90s and when LeBron and Dwight Howard did in the 2000s?
Wilbon: Kobe and KG had a culture of players around them who had played three and four years in college and were much more fundamentally sound. That's not the case for LeBron and Dwight. Everybody now is coming from high school or a year or two in college. You look at some kids now; they can't play. But think what would happen if they spent three years in college. You learn how to play and you can get paid more long-term and not just be a high draft pick.
NBA Finals prediction: Whoever wins between Miami and Chicago versus Oklahoma City.
Sleeper team: I said Memphis at first, but I like the Indiana Pacers. I think they are the only team that could crash the Bulls or Heat party.
Breakout player: Either Kyrie Irving or Ricky Rubio. There hasn't been a sophomore player who's been really great.
Pick one player to build your franchise around: LeBron, because you can put the ball in his hands. Fifty years ago, MVPs were always big men; it was a big man's league. Now, I take the guy with the ball in his hands, like LeBron or D-Wade or Derrick Rose.
Favorite athlete: Muhammad Ali. He's been the most important athlete in my lifetime. Other guys like Jordan and Tiger changed their sport; Ali changed the world. The whole NATION was divided over Ali-Frazier. People don't understand that. It was big. Nothing hurt me more than when he lost. Nothing was more triumphant than when he won.
Best game you ever covered: I've seen too many to have one. When you're ringside when Mike Tyson bit off Evander Holyfield's ear, on the sideline when Jordan hit the shot against Georgetown in 1982, a few feet away when Jordan switched hands in midair in the Finals, in the box when John Elway is executing "The Drive" downfield, above home plate when Cal Ripken is breaking the record for consecutive games played, you can't pick just one.
Favorite athlete you ever covered: Again, there's too many to pick one. Ali, Jordan, Len Bias, Arthur Ashe, Pete Rozelle and then people nobody has ever heard of. I have maybe a top 15 or 20, but there are just so many fascinating people.

Projected Syrian-Saudi Trade Exchanges
The mutual trade exchanges between Syria and Saudi Arabia is expected to hit $1 billion this year.
Projections includes the official as well as the unofficial (parallel) trade as well as being supported by expectations that the Syrian finance ministry will expand the list of products to be traded with Saudi Arabia, al Anwar daily reports. As a result, Saudi Arabia is expected to hold firm control of its status as Syria's leading trade partner, this at least for years in the near future. In the past year, trade between the two partners reached SP5.4 billion, with Saudi Arabia controlling 78 percent of the Arab Gulf exports to Syria and 59 percent of Syrian exports in the same region. (SP50=$1).
Unofficial trade estimates place levels at $465 million per annum, approximately $140 million higher than official trade numbers. Unofficial trade is primarily carried out by Saudi visitors in Syria, this assumes that they consume $365 million of Saudi products while in Syria.

Big news! I have finished three patterns for some crochet iPhone cases and I've put some of each up for sale on my new Etsy shop. You can look at them (and shop them!) here. This is a big deal for me! Opening a shop for my original items has been a goal of mine for a while, and - with this little launch - I've finally accomplished it!
The three iPhone cozies I made are Gameboy, Pokeball, and the cutest little Dragon Quest slime. I'm pretty proud of them. Here are some photos:

I remember as a child the very first time I saw one of my teachers outside of the school. I was actually shocked that they seemed to have a real life. I had always considered them just a part of the school building much like the desks or cafeteria. It just never occurred to me that they existed outside of school.
I am now working at the Greater Hartford Academy of Math and Science and I am sure that some of my students probably have similar thoughts about me. So to help them I have put together this information about some of the things I have done. This material is not meant to be bragging or as an example of what you should do, but I have done a lot of very varied things, some successfully and some not so successfully. This material is presented strictly for informational purposes in case somebody might be curious.
Resume - Everything that is on this resume is true, but not everything that is true is on this resume.
Medi-Alert - This device was created and sold before the Life-Alert ("I've fallen and can't get up") device
Nationwide Robots - Made and rented Robots internationally for promotional and entertainment purposes.
Robot Eggs - A strange idea that got a lot of attention.
Technology Services Institute - Just some of the products I designed and sold once I moved to Connecticut.
RobotACTS - A Robotics curriculum developed for the Thames Science Center in New London
Connect Magazine - A magazine for teachers.
Midnight Engineering Magazine - A magazine for engineers who do their best work after dark (and maybe even in the dark).
Miscellaneous Stories & Articles - Things that didn't fit anywhere else.
Modern School Supplies - Designed many products for Modern including these.
Manufacturing Applications Center - Was the first director of CCSU's center to help Connecticut manufacturing companies.
Trinity College Fire-Fighting Robot Contest - Founded and ran Trinity's international Robotics contest for 10 years.
Batrow - Designed the hardware and software for Batrow's microprocessor controlled products (MPC-S and MPC-M). The products sold very successfully for many years before the owners of the company decided to retire and close down the company.
Nationwide Amusement Products - Great design. Great engineering. Great product. Terrible sales.
A Robot's Guide To Survival - What I learned from many years in Robotics
Footprints on the Moon - I actually helped make footprints on the moon.
China - I have been invited to China three times to preside at their national Robot contest and to give talks on educational Robotics at high school and universities.
Silly Putty - I helped create a revolutionary breakthough in Silly Putty technology and set a manufacturing production record at General Electric at the same time.

Is Surfactant D or CC-Chemokine Ligand 18 Biomarkers for Interstitial Lung Disease in Systemic Sclerosis?

Previous studies have indicated that surfactant D (SP-D) levels correlate with the presence of interstitial lung disease (ILD) in patients with systemic sclerosis (SSc).
CC-chemokine ligand 18 (CCL18) is a chemokine produced by activated macrophages that upregulates collagen production in lung fibroblasts. Previous studies have suggested that CCL18 predicts the change in forced vital capacity (FVC) in patients with idiopathic pulmonary fibrosis.
Our goal was to investigate the predictive significance of SP-D and CCL18 for the decline rate in FVC over time in a large prospective cohort of SSc patients.
SP-D and CCL18 levels were determined in 266 SSc patients and 100 age, ethnicity and gender matched unaffected controls using commercially available ELISA kits. The SSc plasma samples were collected at the initial visit of the Genetics versus Environment in Scleroderma Outcome Study (GENISOS), an observational cohort of patients with early SSc. Pulmonary function tests (PFT) were obtained at the initial visit and annually thereafter. The primary outcome was FVC expressed as a percentage of predicted value. First, the protein levels between patients and controls were compared by t-test. Subsequently, the correlation of protein levels with the FVC at the enrollment visit was investigated by linear regression. Finally, a generalized linear mixed model with the sequentially obtained FVCs as the outcome variable was utilized for the longitudinal analysis. The predictive value of SP-D and CCL-18 for the decline rate in FVC was investigated by the interaction term between the protein levels and follow up time. The protein levels were examined as continuous variable as well as a dichotomized variable according to the 95th percentile level in controls.
The average disease duration at enrollment was 2.5 years. 156 patients (59%) had diffuse cutaneous involvement. The mean follow up time in the study was 3.8 years. 926 FVC measurements belonging to 244 patients fulfilled the American Thoracic Society criteria and were included in the analysis.
SP-D levels were significantly higher in SSc patients than controls (p=0.001, mean difference= 643.9, CI= 2561031.8). Furthermore, the SP-D level correlated with the FVC levels at enrollment (p=0.008, R2=0.033). However, the SP-D did not predict the decline rate in FVC over time (p=0.649). Similarly, the dichotomized value of SP-D (based on 95th percentile in controls) did not predict the rate of decline in FVC (p=0.195).
CCL18 levels did not differ significantly between patients and controls (p=0.212, mean difference=7.4, CI=- 4.3 19.1). The CCL18 did not correlate with the FVC at enrollment (p=0.21). Furthermore, CCL18 did not predict the decline rate in FVC over time as a continuous or dichotomized variable (p=0.439 and p=0.212, respectively).
A repeat analysis after adjustment for smoking status showed similar results for both proteins.
Although SP-D correlates with the concomitantly obtained FVC levels, it is not useful as a predictive biomarker for the decline rate in FVC. On the other hand, CCL18 correlates neither with the concomitantly obtained FVC nor with its progression over time in SSc.

Campus Standards & Guidelines
Introductory text including:
- Purpose:
- Support goals and objectives of relevant planning documents (IMP/DCMP/NP, etc.)
- Help facilitate the design and construction process
- Promote ease of operation and maintenance of campus facilities and grounds
- Accommodate future renovations and alterations
- Ensure that work on campus results in a functional, integrated whole, compatible with its surroundings and furthering the mission of the institution
- Scope:
Standard and enforceable design guidelines for all design and construction work done on campus for use by in-house staff (architects, engineers, shops, etc.) and consultants. A coordinated effort between Facilities Design, & Construction Administration and Maintenance & Operations (change to reflect terminology on FM home page?) with input from other campus departments such as University Residences and Telecommunications. Identification of Western owned properties located in other neighborhoods (32nd Street Building, Armory, etc.).
- Format (How to Use Standards) i.e. "Planning principles" covers elements relevant to campus as a whole, "District Descriptions" describes individual descriptions and unique character elements, "Product Specifications" contains technical specifications for standard campus products.
- Revision Procedure (provide hot link to a revision form?)

Carrollwood Apartments
Head just a few miles northwest of USF and you'll run into a nice community called Carrollwood. It's a well established area with numerous Carrollwood apartments to choose from. Students are never far away from grocery stores, eateries and local shopping thanks to Dale Mabry, a major artery highway that runs through the entire city of Tampa.
