Yoritomo Harui was a courtier of the Mantis Clan who was assigned to Kyuden Kurogane-Hana in order to help establish a Mantis presence in the court's political nexus, as well as offering support for Mantis traders passing through.

For hundreds of years colonist from Earth have lived on Kerren. They came to Karren to live a simplier peaceful life. A pity that dream never materialized.
Kerren is a world in an age of Saurians. Giant megafauna live among huge trees. Smaller saurians and giant insects live in their shadows. The Humans live in Clusters, walled cities usually along cliffs, to protect themselves.
Kerren is a world of little metal. The colonists expected resources to maintain a minimal level of technology. Those resources did not exist or were unobtainable given their tools. They adapted to the materials they had.
In short their life was simplier, but it was not peaceful.
Zhan are extradimensonal blobs that fall from rifts caused by electrical storms. Zhan infect living things, twisting them into rampaging monsters. If Kerren was not dangerous enough, now "things" roamed the lands.
However, the Colonists found allies on Kerren- The Dragons. Working with this native animal species, The Ryders defend their people. Riding their dragons they destroy Zhan as they fall before they can contaminate the world, remove Zhani monsters in Grey Zones, and wrangle Mega Fauna and Jumpers. Together with their Dragons, Ryders help build and maintain the colony.

Ever since I bought a copy of Jeffrey Kacirk's Forgotten Words tome, I have become somewhat obsessed with, well…forgotten words. As you read these bizarre, often-silly, and sometimes downright sensible words, phrases and their meanings, you may discover what I did. It seemed that almost every term I came across, instilled some sort of fantasy rpg idea in my head.
I propose a challenge for all word-lovers! Pick any one and do a submission featuring and inspired by said word. Simple enough right? I tried to pick some of the jucier ones.
This can be added to in three ways. Firstly as mentioned, as an entire submission based on one word or phrase. Secondly, more funky archaic terms can be added alphabetically as scrolls, and thirdly, just by using a word or two in future submissions.
If nothing else, these words can be used to pleasantly pepper one's writing!

Optimization of energy expenditure during level walking
- Received:
- Citations
- 654 Downloads
An analytical relationship between the basic variables of walking — step rate, step length, and metabolic energy expenditure — is formulated with the aid of data derived from the only two complete studies in the literature (Atzler and Herbst, 1927; Molen et al., 1972b). The relationship in its hyperbolic form indicates that for any given step length within the normal range of walking speeds (approximately up to 145 m/min) there is a unique step rate which requires minimal energy expenditure per unit distance traversed. Matching the given step length with any other step rate results in greater energy demand. As derived here, the condition of optimality requires that the step rate be directly proportional to the step length with a subject-dependent proportionality constant. Imposing this optimality constraint on the hyperbolic form yields an optimal pattern equation which virtually coincides, up to speeds of about 100 m/min, with an empirical equation of quadratic form, found by a number of investigators to adequately relate energy expenditure to speed under moderate walking conditions.

Ohio State Basketball: 5 Questions Buckeyes Face in B1G Stretch RunFebruary 14, 2013
Ohio State Basketball: 5 Questions Buckeyes Face in B1G Stretch Run
Ohio State has won at least a share of three consecutive Big Ten championships, and a primary reason why is because stars like Evan Turner and Jared Sullinger came to play during the stretch run.
While a conference crown is likely out of the picture at this point, this year's Ohio State Buckeye team needs to rally around its current leaders—Aaron Craft and Deshaun Thomas—to emerge from a recent funk. There are still a number of potential accomplishments that are on the table for the Scarlet and Gray, but a strong performance during the stretch run is necessary.
Read on to see five questions the Buckeyes face in the season's final few weeks.
Is LaQuinton Ross the Second Scoring Option?
The question of who will be Ohio State's second scorer behind Deshaun Thomas has been discussed ad nauseam since the beginning of the season. Unfortunately, for Ohio State Buckeye fans, that question still hasn't been answered.
However, if LaQuinton Ross continues to perform as he has the past two games, Thad Matta will finally have his solution. The swingman scored a combined 27 points on 12-of-20 shooting against the likes of Michigan and Indiana, and finally looked completely comfortable with the ball in his hands.
He possesses a dangerous combination of athleticism, height and a lethal shot, and after sitting out the majority of his freshman season, he appears to be gradually putting it all together.
If Ross wants to see more playing time, he will have to improve his defense, but the possibility of a bona fide second option has to be intriguing to Matta when he is determining his rotation.
Can This Team Close the Door in a Big Road Game?
The Ohio State Buckeyes have already played games at Duke, Michigan State and Michigan, and each contest had one thing in common—the Buckeyes had an opportunity to walk away with a victory down the stretch.
Thad Matta's squad controlled the majority of the game at Cameron Indoor before falling apart in the final minutes, and held an eight point lead in the second half against the Michigan Wolverines. What's more, the trip to the Breslin Center was a back-and-forth affair that saw the Michigan State Spartans make the game's final plays.
The Buckeyes still have trips to Wisconsin and Indiana on the docket. Winning in Bloomington may be too tall of a task for this year's team, but a win at the Kohl Center would be critical for seeding in the Big Ten tournament, and possibly even the NCAA tournament.
If that is going to happen, Ohio State is going to have to learn to close the door down the stretch and make the big play when the moment arises.
Can the Buckeyes Pick Up Wins Against Ranked Teams?
Ohio State's record against ranked teams (at the time of the game) is a rather ugly 1-6. Yes, the majority of those games have been close and a couple can even be classified as heartbreakers (Michigan, Michigan State and even Duke considering the second half lead), but the three-time defending Big Ten champions are not in the business of moral victories.
Of the Ohio State Buckeyes' final seven opponents, three are currently ranked and the Minnesota Golden Gophers have a chance to be in the Top 25 again by the time the Gophers travel to Columbus. The opportunities are there, and if the Scarlet and Gray want to get a decent seed on Selection Sunday, they need to take advantage of them.
It is a lot to ask, but if Thad Matta can figure out a way to defend home court against Michigan State and Minnesota, and split the road games at Wisconsin and Indiana, Buckeye Nation would feel much better about this season.
Can Ohio State Finish in the Top 3 of the Big Ten?
Assuming Ohio State takes care of business tonight against an injury-plagued and outmatched Northwestern team, it will at least be tied with Michigan for fourth in the Big Ten. Wisconsin will also be part of that stalemate with a loss to Minnesota, meaning it would be for third place.
Indiana and Michigan State are sitting pretty right now on top of the conference, but considering the overall strength of the league, a top three finish would be a nice card to play on Selection Sunday. It would also earn the Ohio State Buckeyes a first round bye in the conference tournament and more winnable contests in the later rounds.
Ohio State has a home game against Michigan State and road contests at Wisconsin and Indiana coming up, so there are chances against the competition. Winning six of the final seven games will not be easy (assuming a loss comes in Bloomington), but it may be necessary if the Buckeyes want that top three finish.
Will Poor Rebounding Derail the Buckeyes?
Much of the glass half-empty discussions about Ohio State basketball this year have revolved around the lack of a second scoring option behind Deshaun Thomas or the stagnant half-court offense.
While those concerns are certainly valid and could be the ultimate undoing for this team, there is another issue that likely has Thad Matta worrying—rebounding.
The Ohio State Buckeyes rank a middling 102nd in the nation in total rebounds per game. That is a statistic that can be somewhat skewed by a slower pace of play, but it, nonetheless, is difficult to imagine a squad that doesn't even rank in the top 100 in rebounds going far in the NCAA tournament or even the physical Big Ten tournament.
For context, Indiana and Minnesota both rank in the top 25 in the same statistic and also play against the same slower Big Ten competition.
With bruising Michigan State, Cody Zeller-led Indiana, athletic Minnesota and grinding Wisconsin still on the slate, Ohio State's rebounding is going to be tested. Matta has to be concerned with the fact that the two starting guards (Aaron Craft and Lenzelle Smith Jr.) are arguably better rebounders than the starting center.
Stats never tell the whole story, but the Buckeyes sure would like this stat to be a little more forgiving.

Hoosier Hill Prague Powder #1 vs Morton Tender Quick Meat Cure?
SmokingMeatForums.com Top Picks
- "Four probes, great iPhone/iPad app, easy parameter creation and alteration, excellent with the Yoder YS640 ports""true wireless monitoring, cool interface, 4 PROBES!! This is awesome~!!, very configurable"
- "Ease of use, consistant performance.""Stainless steal outer cabinet, internal temperature within 4 degrees of setting, probe within in 5 degrees. Doors does not leak.Top exhaust. "
Morton's Tender Quick is used for curing meat, poultry or fish in dry or wet-cures. It is a mixture of salt, 0.5% sodium nitrate, 0.5% sodium nitrite and sugar. It also includes propylene glycol to keep the mixture stable. Sodium nitrate (NaNO3) is a curing agent. Sodium nitrite (NaNO2) is a preserving agent.
Prague powder #1 contains 6.25% sodium nitrite and 93.75% sodium chloride
I assume these two cures have totally different applications right?

They are not the same but they do have similar applications. You have to ensure that you are following the recipe as one can't be substituted for the other.
Also, some people don't use TQ as they don't want the nitrate.
I bought a 1 lb tub of cure #1 and that is all I use. Since you use a small amount at a time 1 lb will last a while.
They do the same, but in very different amounts. As a general rule, use 1tablespoon of Morton's Tenderquick per pound of meat.
And the amount of Cure #1 is one teaspoon per five pounds of meat.
And as always, make sure you are following a reliable recipe and procedure from a trusted source before you mess around with curing meat. It's not quite juggling dynamite, but there are risks involved.
And for the record, Internet forums (even this one) are neither reliable nor trustworthy for information on things like curing. Too many folks post things as Gospel truth when they may not have the right information. Take any advice on curing with a grain of salt and make sure you back it up with info from a known expert.
So just get the Hoosier hill one?
I should clarify, in my earlier post I didn't mean to bash the wonderful info on this site. I didn't choose my wording very well. All I meant was to be sure you have the right info before curing meat.

TQ would be easier to use on multiple applications.
I wouldn't want to try to spread 1 Tsp over 5lbs of pork loin.
My $.02
Get whichever one works for you. I have both, and usually use the Prague #1 as I like to have a say in how much salt I'm adding. I use TQ mainly for things like quick cured pork chops where they'll be braised so the salt content isn't as important.

Prague Powder #1 vs Prague Powder #2
By: SmokinHusker
Posted 1/2/13 • Last updated 1/2/13 • 11,884 views • 3 comments
Rick (NEPAS) posted this recently in another thread here.
CURES - Cures are used in sausage products for color and flavor development as well as retarding the development of bacteria in
the low temperature environment of smoked meats.
Salt and sugar both cure meat by osmosis. In addition to drawing the water from the food, they dehydrate and kill the bacteria that make food spoil. In general, though, use of the word "cure" refers to processing the meat with either sodium nitrite or sodium nitrate.
The primary and most important reason to use cures is to prevent BOTULISM POISONING (Food poisoning). It is very important that any kind of meat or sausage that will be cooked and smoked at low temperature be cured. To trigger botulism poisoning, the requirements are quite simple - lack of oxygen, the presence of moisture, and temperatures in range of 40-140° F. When smoking meats, the heat and smoke eliminates the oxygen. The meats have moisture and are traditionally smoked and cooked in the low ranges of 90 to 185° F. As you can see, these are ideal conditions for food poisoning if you don't use cures. There are two types of commercially used cures.
Prague Powder #1
Also called Insta-Cure and Modern Cure. Cures are used to prevent meats from spoiling when being cooked or smoked at low temperatures (under 200 degrees F). This cure is 1 part sodium nitrite (6.25%) and 16 parts salt (93.75%) and are combined and crystallized to assure even distribution. As the meat temperate rises during processing, the sodium nitrite changes to nitric oxide and starts to 'gas out' at about 130 degrees F. After the smoking /cooking process is complete only about 10-20% of the original nitrite remains. As the product is stored and later reheated for consumption, the decline of nitrite continues. 4 ounces of Prague powder #1 is required to cure 100 lbs of meat. A more typical measurement for home use is 1 level tsp per 5 lbs of meat. Mix with cold water, then mix into meat like you would mix seasonings into meat.
Prague Powder #2
Used to dry-cure products. Prague powder #2 is a mixture of 1 part sodium nitrite, .64 parts sodium nitrate and 16 parts salt.
(1 oz. of sodium nitrite with .64 oz. of sodium nitrate to each lb. of salt.)
It is primarily used in dry-curing Use with products that do not require cooking, smoking, or refrigeration. This cure, which is sodium nitrate, acts like a time release, slowly breaking down into sodium nitrite, then into nitric oxide. This allows you to dry cure products that take much longer to cure. A cure with sodium nitrite would dissipate too quickly.
Use 1 oz. of cure for 25 lbs. of meat or 1 level teaspoon of cure for 5 lbs. of meat when mixing with meat.
When using a cure in a brine solution, follow a recipe.

1 tbs tender quick per lb for whole meat
1 1/2 tsp tender quick per lb for ground meat
I dont know why they dont add that into the instructions on the bag!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
If you add 1 tbs tender quick to 1 lb of ground meat it will be too salty. A lot of meat has been thrown away due to this missing information, then the user either throws it away or it sits on the shelf all alone
Dave this is a great explanation. So if I wanted to do biltong or jerky or salami, I should use cure #2 for dry hanging meat?

Yep.... air cured meats are cured with cure #2.... Follow a proven method... maybe something from Marianski or nepas.... As in all dried meat curing, temp, humidity and % weight loss (Aw) are the important things.....
Dave there were some guys in the biltong thread that disagreed. Biltong hangs for 4-7 days so they recommended using cure #1 instead.

I just looked up Marianski's Biltong recipe.... YEP, he calls for cure #1..... about 130 Ppm.... and 2.3% salt..... and soaking in vinegar for 2 hours and then patting dry.... Between the vinegar, salt and cure, there won't be any "stuff" that's bad for you....
That's probably the safest method I've seen for making beef jerky.... the acidification step is cool..... I guess the African people knew how to dry cure meat.... the acid will tenderize the meat also......

Soooo, for those of you who want to store this factoid for later recall, have at it..... Dave
Meats were traditionally cured with Nitrate. Before Nitrate can release nitrite (the real curing agent) it has to react with bacteria that have to be present in the meat. Putting Nitrate into a refrigerator kept solution (below 40° F) will inhibit the development of bacteria and they may not be able to react with Nitrate. On the other hand sodium nitrite works well at refrigerator temperatures. When used with Nitrates/nitrites, salt is an incredibly effective preserving combination. There has not been even one documented incident of food poisoning of a meat cured with salt and Nitrates.

I'm glad that you found happiness but I disagree with your characterization of American women.
According to you:
"These American women truly had no heart deep inside, not the kind that we do. Thus, I became disillusioned and jaded with them, and rightfully so. It was obvious that deep down, American women only cared about themselves, and were only out to fend for themselves in the end. And this was the case even with the nicest of them, such as Robin. Thus, I could no longer trust them or give them my heart."
It's not that American women only care about themselves, it's that they're forced in the end by the thoughtlessness of boyfriends or husbands to fend for themselves. When "hubby or sweetie" decides to run off with another woman, someone that he finds "more exciting" what is she supposed to do? American women have a tough time too and the smart ones learn to fend for themselves but mostly out of necessity. To say that American women have no heart is an unfair characterization. They have as much heart as anyone but they get sick of putting up with all the nonsense too. In the end the only person that you can truly depend on is you.
@ Vicbowling
Are you seriously defending american women, really........???
You're worried about american men running off with younger women. Seriously you need a reality check
-One don't be surprised if a man cheats on his wife, if she looks like a fat cow that doesn't want to put out.
- Second who COMMITS 70% of the divorces when they love the idea of marriage, huh the same men that run away too right
- Who ends up with 92% of full custody of children and then use it against the men in divorce courts by using false accusations
- Who keeps the house, the children at least 50% of money, assets, etc. Huh gives a lot of incentive for women to divorce
Your claims are just stupid okay, you know how many miserable married men i know that don't leave the wife because they dont want to lose the kids and house. Basically feeling strangled, emasculated and just miserable because of the fear of losing everything
If you think american women have it bad here, you don't deserve to speak at all. Go to Asia or South America for a while and see how women are treated over there by men, you'll see America is a picnic for women, you idiot :p

From the Lab
High-end cosmetic companies often receive their skin care and beauty product formulas from overseas research facilities.

Founded in 2005, this meal delivery service provides vacuum-sealed, ready-to-cook frozen dinners made with all-natural ingredients for busy families who want meals that are healthy and easy to prepare.

Cost: $20 per box, plus the cost of items [Learn more about Stitch Fix on BusinessNewsDaily]

This brand-new service, launched in November 2013, ships boxes filled with snacks, food items, beverages and personal-care products.

Thank you for joining our webinar session this morning. Please find a few key pointers below to take back to your business to fuel your landing page success.
Q: How can you capture your visitor's eyes?
A: Encourage your visitors to connect with the ad creative. Strategically use hero images to draw engagement and lead attention to your call-to-action. People are drawn to look where others are looking. This human behavior plays a large role in the conversion success of your visual ads.
Q: How can you provide a sense of credibility in an easy, non-distracting way?
A: Place customer testimonials on your landing page. People love to see why others love your product. You want your audience to view the testimonials, but you also don't want to distract from your conversion incentive. Therefore, it is best practice to place your testimonials either at the very top of your page in a subtle manner, or in a side-bar. This is a good way to complement the credibility of your site and the value behind your product.
Q: What is a point-of-assurance?
A: A point-of-assurance is a security logo or trademark sign that reinforces the fact that your site is safe and protected for your customer's activity. It is a perfect element to include in your call-to-action path to lead your visitor through a sustainable conversion funnel. A point-of-assurance captures trust and when paired with a discount offer and eye-catching buttons, the chances for conversion are increased significantly.
Please join us next week for our webinar on "5 SEO Tips for Successfully Navigating a Website Redesign" which will be held on September 8th at 11 AM PDT. We look forward to seeing you there!

A PIZZA store is appealing for women who are getting down on one knee this leap year to come forward and reveal how they plan to pop the all-important question.
To celebrate 2012 being a leap year, the Papa John's store in Victoria Road wants to hear from brides-to-be who are planning to make use of the tradition that allows women to propose to their man on February 29.
In return, the pizza chain is offering one lucky couple the chance to win their very own Papa John's proposal meal, aiming to prove the theory that the best way to a man's heart is through his stomach.
Davood Daryan, owner of the store, said: "We're really looking forward to hearing from women who are planning to propose to their other half this leap year.
"To give our hopeful brides a helping hand and make the occasion even more special, we will put together a proposal meal from the menu for both of them to enjoy.
"It will take a lot of courage for the men to say yes so we don't want them doing it on an empty stomach. We just hope it is a yes."
Blushing brides-to-be need to register their details by emailing Papa John's and reveal how they plan to propose, to be in with a chance of winning the prize, including two large pizzas, two sides and a drink.
To register email firstname.lastname@example.com

A new chapter in the epic of Islanders ownership began yesterday when Charles Wang and Sanjay Kumar vowed to revive a storied franchise tainted by losing records, slashed payrolls and one former owner who sits in jail.
Wang and Kumar, the chairman and president, respectively, of Computer Associates International of Islandia, N.Y., are paying $187.5 million to three owners led by Howard Milstein, whose reign featured $40 million in losses, a brief abandonment of Nassau Coliseum and dwindling crowds at home games.
''We want to make the New York Islanders the world-class sports franchise that our community deserves, wants and needs,'' Wang, 55, said. ''This is no easy task. We are not medicine men promising a very quick cure.''
They insisted that they have no deal with SMG, the Nassau Coliseum's tough landlord, to modify the team's unfavorable lease, and have not analyzed deeply the possibility of a new arena to replace the creaky 28-year-old Coliseum.
''We are not committed to building anything anywhere,'' Kumar said.
SMG has not talked to Wang or Kumar, said Wes Westley, SMG's president, but to another Computer Associates executive. ''I've tried to send indications that we'll be cooperative,'' Westley said.Continue reading the main story
Wang and Kumar's purchase, which requires National Hockey League approval, is not a guarantee of free spending, even for a team with the league's lowest payroll.
''Whether you have to have a bigger payroll, less payroll, I don't know,'' Wang said. ''Just because you may have the lowest payroll doesn't mean you have the worst team.''
But Mike Milbury, the Islanders' general manager, who had to shed numerous high-priced players to accommodate the team's losses, sounded hopeful. ''It's nice to know that we'll be able to compete with our colleagues and know that the money will be there for a free agent if it makes sense,'' he said.
Kumar and Wang gently chided the Rangers, the league's freest spenders, and Charles Dolan, the chairman of Cablevision, which owns the Rangers. ''It's been demonstrated,'' Kumar said, ''that having the highest payroll in the league doesn't buy you much either.''
''Ooh, that's mean to Chuck,'' Wang said, with a gleeful smile.
Wang said that Dolan, a friend, gave him a Rangers umbrella and that he nearly brought it yesterday. ''Wrong umbrella to take to this conference,'' Wang said.
''We wish him well, but we won't be going to any more Rangers games,'' Kumar said of Dolan.
''We'll go to Rangers games,'' Wang said, ''but root for the Islanders. And we're going to have the better team.''
Wang and Kumar, 38, share a jovial relationship. They also present one of the sports world's most diverse pair of owners: Wang was born in Shanghai and Kumar was born in Sri Lanka.
They are also hockey novices. Basketball is their preference. Kumar said he has read seven hockey books lately, including ''Hockey for Dummies'' by John Davidson, the Rangers' TV analyst.
The arrival of Wang and Kumar, whose Computer Associates stock is worth $2 billion, is a balm for fans who reviled the Milstein group's running of the team and scorned Nassau County Executive Thomas S. Gulotta and Alfonse M. D'Amato, the former United States Senator who advises SMG, sits on the Computer Associates board and is on retainer to Milstein (for non-Islanders issues).
''I'm totally elated,'' said Robert Ceparano of the Save the Islanders Coalition. ''This is the end of a surreal ride. This couldn't be better.''
In 1997, John Spano agreed to pay John Pickett, then the Islanders' owner, $165 million for the team and its cable television contract. But Spano was later sentenced to prison for bank and wire fraud, having illegally obtained loans to buy the team. Then Milstein, who acquired the team with his brother Edward and Steve Gluckstern, feuded with Gulotta in 1998 over a county promise to ease the way to build a new arena. And the Milstein group's austerity payrolls angered fans.
The last piece of the team's sale to Wang and Kumar occurred Tuesday, when Milstein settled financial and legal issues with Class B shareholders, who include the Picketts. The Picketts will receive an unspecified payment from Wang and Kumar if a new arena is built within 10 years.
Wang and Kumar resisted two previous attempts to interest them in buying the Islanders, but their pursuit accelerated with D'Amato's guidance.
D'Amato privately supported Wang and Kumar for the past three months to counter the only other bid, from a group led by Bob Gutkowski. ''I knew this group could do something Mr. Gutkowski could not,'' D'Amato said.
Wang said: ''When we first looked at it, it just didn't make any economic sense. But the counsel from the senator was, 'You can't look at it as a business.' He said, 'It ain't going to make money the same way your business does.' And once we stopped looking at it as a business, it was easy then.''
Wang and Kumar said the team would be an extension of their charitable involvement, mostly in children's causes. But they are paying a steep premium for a losing team because of the lucrative Fox Sports New York cable contract.
''I don't think we overpaid,'' Kumar said. ''We're paying fair value. We're paying for the legacy, the demographics and the future franchise potential.''
The Devils recently cost the YankeeNets $175 million. Last year, the Penguins sold for about $75 million; the Blues for $100 million, and the Lightning for $110 million, 10 months after selling for $117 million.Continue reading the main story

Beth Long: Good question. I think it has had a very positive impact, espeically because these two high profile kids are both QBs. That has helped lots on offense IMO, and keeping some talented kids in state. As these two start taking the field over the next couple years, it will help even more. Plus, it fits in with the "our team our state" motto that the staff is building.
HHSILLINI - Do you think the Illini end up with either Sykes or Westphal if they can win 4-5 games?
Allen Trieu: Nile Sykes they have the better chance with. Westphal, you can't count out because of his relationship with Aaron Bailey. They need to get him, well both of them, on campus for some games. I still see Parrker as a longshot though.
Long: I think the staff can get Sykes if they really want him, he's not been very active on the recruiting trail. I think their main competition are Iowa State and Syracuse.
Westphal is a possibility -- he's not out but it would be quite a coup to get him. If Aaron Bailey has a great experience and is in his ear though, it isn't completely out of the picture for him to choose Illinois.
IflyIllini - What is the staff focused on position wise with the remaining 2014 scholarships? Do you foresee them continuing to look heavily at JuCo prospects to fill gaps?
Trieu: Offensive tackle is a big need. They are still on a couple of defensive ends too, but I'd say offensive tackle would be the big one right now. I think they'll continue to take JUCO guys at positions they need help at right away, like wide receiver was a big one. However, the more that they can bring in high school guys who fit the system and develop them, I expect the need for JUCO kids to lessen.
ILLINIJOE23 - How many spots do we have left for this class? Who do you think is still in play to round out the class? Also I read a recent article suggesting the staff has a little momentum with the 2015 class even though we dont have a commit. I would be really really excited if we could land WR Miles Boykin before any of the big boys get involved.
Trieu: I don't know the exact number. However, it was a fairly big class last year and it's a young team. Looking at the roster, there are only 15 seniors and not all of those guys are on scholarship, so I wouldn't expect a big class. I'll see if I can figure out or find out an exact number though. I'll answer the still in play as there's a question on that below.
As for 2015, I do think there is some early momentum just simply by being on top of it and being the first school in on several guys, like Boykin, who you mentioned. The Illini had a lot of 2015 in-state kids on campus this summer too, guys like Gabe Megginson and Leonard Ross, so they're setting themselves up pretty nicely in-state.
Long: Boykin is a big one, but the staff has also done good work with Flynn Nagel, David Edwards, Gabe Megginson, Jack Beneventi and identifying plenty of other talented 2015 kids like Leonard Ross and more.
bermey52 Can you inpoint any prospects any of the coaches are heavily recruiting/ spending a lot of time on? Its probably a tough question for football recruiting, I would think.
How's it looking for us and Sam Wren?
Trieu: I think, right now, one of the key prospects is Nick Padla. He added an Illinois offer and has been to campus twice this summer. As I mentioned, offensive tackle is a big need and he's the most realistic guy on the board right now.
ILLINIJOE23 - What kind of season do you think we need to have to get a 2015 recruiting class somewhere in the top half of the B1G and top 30 in the nation. Do you think we have the staff to do it? Personally I think we do.
Long: I think the key is just showing improvement. Showing improvement in the record as well as the offense and defense overall. And yes, the staff is in place to do it in my opinion.
calibear64 - Is there any kids from the south showing real interest in the team? Can you name any names? What kind of pursuit are the coaches showing for ot's and de's and possibly a big power back in the jc ranks?
Trieu: As of now, nothing much going on down South or in the JUCO ranks at those positions. Now, if you look at last year's class, four of the five JUCO commits happened in November-December, so I think, again, you'll see the coaches take part of the season to see who legit targets are. The same actually with some southern kids. D.J. Taylor, James Crawford and Paul James, all from Florida, all committed in the Winter last year.

Back to All Announcements
Call for papers
will be announced soon
The South Asian Conference on Statelessness (SACS) 2017, has been postponed to mid October.The revised dates will be announced soon.We regret the inconvenience caused.
Statelessness is a profound violation of human rights of an individual and remains to be one of the most pressing humanitarian issues of the twenty-first century. Article 15 of the Universal Declaration of Human Rights clearly states that
Despite this guarantee, people in all parts of the world face the prospect of living without a nationality or citizenship. The exact number of stateless people is still unknown, but UNHCR estimates that there are at least 12 million stateless globally. In 2014, the UNHCR announced its Campaign to end Statelessness in ten years. The same year, the Institute on Statelessness and Inclusion reported that more people in Asia and the Pacific are affected by statelessness than in any other region of the world.
Centre for Statelessness and Refugee Studies under the School of Law, Rights and Constitutional Governance (SCLRG), Tata Institute of Social Sciences (TISS), Mumbai is hosting the first of its kind 'South Asian Conference on Statelessness' with the aim of increasing research and focus on the nameless faces suffering due of lack of citizenship or nationality. We are looking for contributions from academicians, graduate students, humanitarian workers, legal experts, and independent researchers who have been working on issues related to statelessness and allied themes.
The papers could be focused around the following themes:
The conference will be held on July 07-08, 2017 in TISS, Mumbai. Questions can be directed to: email@example.com. Proposals/Abstracts should not be more than 300 words with a title, institutional affiliation and contact details.

|apr_atomic_t: can we change it to apr_uint32_t?
|Tue, 31 Dec 2002 01:32:26 GMT
While trying to replace some mutex-based synchronization code in the httpd with atomic spinloops, I ran into a problem in the APR atomic API: With the API split between apr_uint32_t for the CAS operation and apr_atomic for most of the get/set operations, it's impossible to use write portable apps that need to use both CAS and read/write on the same object. I think we could fix this problem by forcing apr_atomic_t to be defined as apr_uint32_t on all platforms. This would work fine for the default (mutex-based) atomic implementation, as well as most platforms for which we currently have custom code (Linux/x86, Solaris, etc). The only two I'm not sure of are: Netware: apr_atomic_t is defined as unsigned long. Does Netware run on any architectures where an unsigned long isn't 32 bits? OS/390: apr_atomic_t is defined as cs_t. Can someone familiar with that environment please comment on whether it would be safe to use a uint32 as the atomic type? Thanks, Brian

Congratulations to our June Winner!!
And now a word from your winner.....
Wow, well I have to say, this is not one victory lap I ever thought I would take and so many people to thank! First, GT, without whom we would not have this awesome site to hang out on, his behind the scenes efforts make all of this possible! BlueJet and her tireless dedication has made her a cornerstone of this forum as well, thank you! Brad, Shawn and Shane and all the rest of the staff here who put so much time in helping keep things here running smoothly and making all of our new members comfortable, you are appreciated! gonefishin776 for his MOTM discussion thread, which brought to light the fact that this contest had gotten so far away from what it was intended to be and for so long, helped pave the way for people like me to have this rather unique honor. Warlock III who, with his usual humor, sent me on what I would call a beeline to the front of the class when I usually tend to prefer sitting in the back, so I sure hope I pass lol!. To EVERYONE who stepped aside and declined their nominations on my behalf and those who voted for me, I am truly humbled by the awesome show of support you all have shown me! What you have really shown everyone is integrity and, in the process, demonstrated what happens when people show some selflessness, it makes things that otherwise wouldn't have been possible a reality. It is that kind of character that makes everyone a winner and, for that, all of you I consider more worthy of this than myself.
A little about me, for those that don't know, my name is Dana. I'm 37 and live in beautiful Cajun country south Louisiana, been home now for 12 years. I was an Army brat so moved around a bit, but the people, the culture and the food here, well, you just can't beat it! The past 11 years, I worked in the oilfield in some capacity or other, offshore and onshore. It was great work that I did enjoy but just wasn't what I was looking for so, last year, I made a career change and got back into a job I don't dread going to everyday. Now, I have regained my sanity and I am a Parts Sales Manager for the parts store everyone either loves, hates or loves to hate lol, Autozone, and couldn't be happier, made my first year this past April. Every day is a challenge as every customer and vehicle/problem is different so it's never the same day twice, I get to keep up with the latest technology and hopefully in the fall I will get my ASE certification and can really be a contributing member to the industry I have a passion for.
My truck is a 2008 RAM 1500 ST reg cab short bed 2WD V6 which I bought brand new in March of 2008 with 9 miles on the clock. She now has just over 48K and every mile has been a smile! This was my first ever brand new vehicle purchase on my own so I played it smart but, after getting out of a fully loaded Jeep, it was time, in many respects in my life, for me to get back to basics. I'm not big on chrome so that worked for me and I just don't need all the fancy stuff. My 1981 D150 was my project truck which I did do a lot of work to, even some engine mods, and it got me hooked on Mopar. I missed having a truck so getting another RAM was just the natural choice and I bought what I needed and got everything I wanted, a well built and fully capable truck for what I use it for. She's stock (which may change soon) and, no, to most, she's not the biggest, loudest or even fastest, but, at the end of the day, what I do drive is MY truck lol. I do enjoy seeing what all of you do with your rides, there are some seriously sweet trucks on here!
I found Ram Z one night at work, almost a year after buying my truck. I was looking to see what there was out there for RAM owners and enthusiasts and keep me occupied while working all those crazy nights. Checked out a few sites, lurked on this one for a couple weeks and the people and conversation here seriously, always kept me laughing and coming back so I decided why not just join up and be part of the fun?! Who would have thought that 4 1/2 years later, this is where I would be, addicted to this place just like all of you! I enjoy the people here, this is an awesome community of folks who love their trucks as much as I do, like a good laugh and, most importantly, are so willing to share their knowledge, ideas and experiences with everyone, such a great benefit of being in the company of the membership we have here and that is something NO other site has!
Thank you all so very much again and if I have to go down in history as being the first at a one person contest, I sure am glad it was this one, that really means a lot to me!
Wooohooo. Cograts Cajun, thanks for all of the time you put into this site to make it what it is today.
Congrats Cajun Dodge for a well deserved win and for all your help.
Congratulations on a well deserved win, this is by far the best example of Member of the month. Yes your truck is great but the driver greater. Again, congratulations on a very well deserved win. The Orange Badge has a great new member.
Well that's pretty cool! Congratulations to you.
Well congratulations on a very well deserved win. You are truly the definition of "Member" of the month with your selfless dedication to the site, the members, and the thing we all share in common that unite us, Our trucks.
Your story is one that emulates the different backgrounds our members have and the joy we share in owning something we all share in common.
It's funny though, the only thing I can think of in closing my response is something my step-father used to say back in the '70's, and I think it's very apropos. And I quote:
"I ain't big, and I ain't bad...but when the big and the bad get together. They call me boss."
He never mentioned he had our trucks in mind.
Congrats on the win!.. It is great to see the members come together and able to give the award to someone who deserves it very much.
congrats Dana!!!!!!!!!!!!
Congrats Dana, very well deserved and so long over due!!!

David Shrigley might be the popular favourite on this year's Turner Prize shortlist, but when the actress Saoirse Ronan announces the winner of the £25,000 prize in Derry tonight, the maverick artist is convinced it won't be his name on her lips. For the first time ever he has read his reviews and, he says, the consensus is "I'm never going to win" — Tino Seghal, the orchestrator of energetic and philosophical performances, is the bookies' and the art world's favourite.
But this doesn't really bother Shrigley, because he's got his eye on what he sees as a bigger prize. He's among the six artists to have created proposals to replace Katharina Fritsch's blue Cock on the Fourth Plinth in Trafalgar Square in 2015. The public can air their views before the decision is made by the commissioning group in January. Shrigley's idea, a giant bronze thumbs-up called Really Good, is the most arresting work on the list.
"I wanted to make a statement that was kind of political and was positive but really ambiguous," he says. The thumb is almost manically extended, echoing Nelson's Column, and Shrigley intended it to gently mock the idea of shrill, shiny-happy sculptures being lumped in our plazas at the behest of politicians. "It's sort of a public artwork by some hysterical political artist apparatchik of the city of London," he says with a broad smile.
He admits he "would be chuffed beyond measure" if he won the commission. "The Turner Prize is just an idea, it's just a discussion and some kind of status that you might get, if you want. But with the Fourth Plinth, you actually get to make a massive sculpture in a public space and that's really exciting. You get to say something to people. I'm being realistic about the Turner Prize, but with this, I think I've got a chance of winning. If I could make a trade with God, I'd be like, 'I don't care about the Turner Prize, it's fine, but please, let me have the Fourth Plinth, please! I really, really want it'."
These grand ambitions are a far cry from the days when the 45-year-old Macclesfield-born artist sold little books of his brilliantly surreal and strangely wise drawings in the pub. He has since developed a unique career, in which his drawings, photographs and sculptures are as comfortable in the Tate's collection as on a greetings card, in political cartoons in the New Statesman or in the restaurant Sketch, which he is transforming next year.
Shrigley lives in a magnificent early Victorian terrace in Glasgow's West End with his wife, Kim. A gentle giant standing 6ft 5in, he is softly spoken and self-deprecating, the only hints of his work's frequently edgy, chaotic voice appearing in the hilarious characterisations that pepper his speech.
The work he has on show for the Turner Prize show in Derry, Life Model, consists of a seven-foot animatronic naked man standing in the gallery, surrounded by chairs and easels, there to be drawn by visitors. He originally made it for his exhibition How Are You Feeling? in Manchester last year, in tandem with a mock self-help book of the same name.
"Everything I did for that show had some interactive or therapeutic element to it, and the culmination of that was this piece — some art therapy," he says. "I'm asking the public to do some drawings of a giant naked man who makes it easy for you because he stays very still, and he's very badly proportioned, so even if you're very good at drawing, nobody will know."
The work makes Turner Prize exhibitors of all who take up the challenge and make a sketch. "The prize, as I see it, is supposed to be about some representation of your expertise as an artist, whereas this is a way of inviting everybody else to represent their expertise."
But it isn't without his familiar sense of mischief — as well as blinking, the figure periodically pees into a bucket beneath him.
It's "a childish transgression", Shrigley admits, "but also an acknowledgement that this is a representation of a living person. The whole thing about being a life model is that you're not allowed to move, so the kinetic element is a reference point to that, I suppose. But then also, it was like, 'Can we make him blink?' 'Yeah, we can make him blink.' — Shrigley adopts a curious, mischievous voice — 'Can we make him pee?'"
It's this sense of fun that has made him the people's favourite. "I suppose my work's accessible and it's easy to digest, and it's honest," he says. "I'm trying to make all the points of reference as universal as I can possibly do and that's a really considered decision."
But "it doesn't necessarily make it good art", he agrees. "I was listening to Grayson Perry's Reith Lectures on Radio Four and he had a great title — Democracy Has Bad Taste — and that's really stuck in my mind, and I've been using that ad nauseam. Because on one hand people say 'You're so popular', but that's not really a good thing, is it? Jack Vettriano's really popular."
Shrigley grew up in the Leicester suburbs. His father is an evangelical Christian and his mother is Church of England. And though a certain scepticism occasionally creeps into his work — one drawing memorably declares "God is Idle" — the artist is "quite pro-religion", he explains.
"I have a lot of sympathy for people with a spiritual side to their lives, although I don't really have one myself. But, then again, I am definitely on their side rather than Richard Dawkins's, because I don't want to live in a world where everything is material. I want there to be a metaphysical side to the world. I don't want it to be some empirically measured set of phenomena. That's not to say that there aren't a lot of contradictions within Christianity and other major religions as well. But, ultimately, a religious upbringing has had a positive impact on my life."
And while he is clear that his work is "not Ernest Hemingway, it's not Franz Kafka, it's funny drawings", he feels that some pieces "are quite resonant in a political way", though they emerge subtly and haphazardly.
He sees his 2006 drawing of a plane dropping bombs on a city — on which one speech bubble reads, "I feel really bad about this" and another answers, "Don't worry, it's fine" — as a "very profound" response to the morality of war, but found it difficult to replicate that profundity when he was a cartoonist for the New Statesman for about 18 months in 2009-10: "I never made a work as a political cartoonist as resonant," he says.
But he's wary of over-analysing the practice that has brought him so much success. "I don't want to unpick it too much because it would probably make it less fun," he says. "I don't care to pull at those loose threads, just in case the whole garment disassembles itself."
The Turner Prize winner is announced live on Channel 4 tonight at 7.30pm.
