Subject: [htdig] Dummies Guide to Restricting searchs
From: Terry Collins (firstname.lastname@example.com)
Date: Wed Nov 15 2000 - 17:14:46 PST
I'm after the dummies guide to restricting searchs?
I have a number of email lists that I archive and make available on the
WWW with mhonarc.
I'm currently using htdig to allow searching of one list, but that is
invoked by
http://www.woa.com.au/cgi-bin/htsearch as supplied.
I would like to expand the searching to a number of lists from one
database, but obviously some one chasing genealogical info doesn't want
linux stuff, etc
I understand from my reading that I can restrict the search to returning
only results from one list. i.e. http://www.woa.com.au/lists/list-name
by using exclude and restrict parameters when htsearc is called.
My problem is that I don't understand HOW to go about this?
Can anyone point me to some further info/how-to/etc?

But this is rarely enforced these days because of security concerns. If you refuse to show ID and they refuse to take you card, what would you do?
I realize this is an old comment, but here's my answer anyway: I would probably just show them my ID in that situation. To be honest I don't find it that big of a deal, but it's nice to know whether or not I can feel safe carrying only my credit card (as long as I stay in-state I'm good xP). I could've sworn I've been ID'ed plenty of times before...but maybe all those memories are from times out of state.

Vinaros Vacation Packages
Vinaros is situated 95 miles (153 kilometers) northeast of Valencia and about 220 miles (354 kilometers) east of Madrid, Spain's capital.
The area around Vinaros is brimming with fabulous things to see and do, from firm tourist favorites to lesser known gems. Head to the MUCBE Cultural Centre of Sant Francesc Convent and Placa Constitucio in Benicarlo, which is roughly 4 miles (6 kilometers) distance from Vinaros. Peniscola is another spot worth investigating. Here you'll find the Peniscola Castle and Gardens and Virgen del Socorro Cathedral. Peniscola is approximately 8 miles (13 kilometers) from Vinaros.
Around 45 miles (72 kilometers) to the southwest of Vinaros is Castellon de la Plana, an important regional city and the home of El Fadri, Plaza del Mar and Castellon Planetarium. Castellon de la Plana has a lot to offer visitors willing to spend a little time here. Plaza de Toros de Castellon, Heliopolis Beach and Jaume I University are just a couple of the other sights not to pass by.
Experience a little local culture amid the great outdoors at Valencia 's fabulous open-air museums, open-air markets and gardens. Holy places are the perfect portals into a community's heart and soul. The cathedrals of Valencia are no exception.
If your idea of a great holiday is working up a sweat in unique natural environments, then join one of the hiking or mountain biking adventures the Vinaros area has to offer. If the weather is good while here, get outside. Swimming and sea kayaking are two local options.
You'll be sad to say "Adiós" (farewell) to this special spot.

"I wanted to make a photo card for our thank yous so that everyone who attended had a photo of my husband and I; further, I wanted to send a photo to all those who sent along a gift or card, but who could not attend. I think these turned out beautifully. The cardstock is a nice weight, it is the perfect size for terse and simple thank yous and I was impressed with the picture quality. Other reviewers complained about the sides not meeting up correctly - there is the slightest overlap when folded, but it is minimal and does not detract from the card. Would highly recommend."
"very nice thank you card I am happy that I ordered this design, I had our dates put inside the card NOT ON THE BACK as shown so you gotta watch."
"These cards are perfect, printed on quality paper and delivered with quality envelopes. We've gotten many compliments on them. The layout for the design is great, I recommend not changing much and just inserting your picture and names!"
"Added "thank you" to the front. Customer service was so helpful correcting a problem with my order. They really helped me out."
"I was able to rotate this card, as the photo I chose was landscape. The design team were able to do this without a hitch. I decided to keep the navy blue color, as it suited the colors in my photo. Although the product itself is small, the photo quality was perfect. The ink printed beautifully on to the plush cardstock used, I couldn't be happier! I was actually able to use my printer at home to print a personalised message to each of the recipients, which saved my hand many hours of pain!"

What To Expect
Drive to the magnificent Shivasamudra Falls located on the banks of the Kaveri River. Your chauffeur will pick you up from your hotel and continue to the second biggest waterfall in India.
The location, which forms a boundary to the Chamarajanagar District is one of the first hydro-electric power stations in Asia. Marvel at the spectacular feat of nature which plunges 320 feet into a gorge, breaking into a cloud of misty foam. The waterfalls are surrounded by the lush green hill forests of the Kaveri Wildlife Sanctuary.
Enjoy the tranquility and the sound of gushing waters at the falls before you continue for a drive to Somnathpur. Set during the 13th century, the region is an abode of astonishing Hosyala architecture. The Hoslayas were the last dynasty to rule the area and had played a major role in constructing its temples.
Have a delicious lunch at a local South Indian restaurant before proceeding to the Chennakesava Temple, which is also known as the Keshaya Temple. The temple is built on a star-shaped platform with three carved pinnacles and shrines. It is dedicated to Lord Janardhana, Venugopala and Kesava.
Somnathpur is also famous for sandalwood oil, incense sticks and other handicrafts. Many local artisans are involved in the production of teak, ivory, rosewood, as well as sandalwood carvings.
Your chauffeur will drive you back to your hotel where services will end.

Well, I have some very exciting news:
I am moving to Japan to teach English for a year!
I was recently accepted for a position in Okazaki (Central Japan, near Nagoya) and I leave this coming June. I know that this will be an extremely enlightening and exciting adventure because, besides the fact that I have never been anywhere in Asia, this will be such an inspiration to my writing. My whole experience there will be one based on language. The challenges of learning a new language, teaching a language to a new people whose language I don't understand, and immersing myself within their culture is going to be an invaluable opportunity for me!
I plan to use this experience to grow as a person, of course, but also to make my blog grow. I think I'll be able to write some pretty interesting things once I get to Japan. At the moment, I'm going through some books I got about Japan, the Japanese language, and the Japanese people. Because of their long history of isolation, they have been able to preserve some of their oldest traditions and remain very unique in culture. Unlike Western Europe and the United States, both of which have common backgrounds and melded histories, Japan is a singular entity and I expect to receive some major culture shock. :)

Motorists on South Dakota Highway 20 might have seen a skater in bright neon yellow heading eastward into town Thursday afternoon. The team behind "A Push To Remember: Skateboarding Across America to End Alzheimer's" had an overnight stop in Watertown during their cross-country project to raise $100,000 for research on the disease, which took the life of organizer Jack Smith's father in October 2012.
Smith, of Morrow Bay, Calif., created "A Push To Remember" to honor his father and help other families dealing with Alzheimer's. The trip began with a ceremonial start July 4 in Morrow Bay, and three days later the team began to travel across the continent from Newport, Ore.
Melanie Castro, Marc Juvinall, Colleen Pelech and Jack's son Dylan Smith make up the rest of the skateboarding team on the way to New York City. The group stayed at the Ramkota Inn on Thursday night.
"I may be skating for my dad," stated Jack in a press release, "But this project is intended as a symbol of the fight and resilience of everyone out there who has been, and will be affected by Alzheimer's."
Jack Smith has had other cross-country trips before, passing through Watertown in 1976 and 1984.
"In 1984 Smith, along with friends Paul Dunn, Bob Denike, and Gary Fluitt broke the world skateboard distance record by skating across America in 26 days, six days faster than Smith, Jeff French and Mike Filben set when they made the first transcontinental skateboard crossing in 1976," the team's donation website stated.

The goji berry lives a double life in the beauty arena. The berry, also known as wolfberry, is seen as a strong Chinese medicinal, herbal ingredient. Although the goji is known for its strong antioxidant protection, it comes with its own controversy. Some groups argue that the goji berry is a completely different berry known as the Tibetan Lycium berry, indigenous to the Tibetan and Mongolian regions. According to the Tibetan Goji Berry Company, the goji berry "grows in very remote, unpolluted hills and valleys of Tibet and Mongolia, in soil so rich in nutrients that the berries are exploding with this special nurturing vitality."
Other groups, however, claim that the wolfberry is simply the name that is most commonly used in English, while gǒuqǐzi (goji berry) is the Chinese name. Mintel Cosmetic Research shows that the while wolfberry has been showing up in skin care products for a few years, it is indeed the goji berry that is being listed in some of the newest, most innovative products this year. The wolfberry is touted for its strong antioxidant protection, while the goji berry is being used in more forward-thinking products.
Estée Lauder launched Re-Nutriv Revitalizing Comfort Crème in 2005, citing the use of Reishi mushroom and Chinese wolfberry to "boost natural collagen levels while rich emollients lock in moisture." The product was inspired by ancient Chinese medicine and used ginseng extracts, along with the Reishi mushroom and wolfberry, for their powerful antioxidant protection. Sweet almond oil, apricot kernel oil and cupuacu butter provide the skin with hydration.
Elizabeth Arden First Defense Advanced Antioxidant Cream SPF 15 was launched in China in 2004, claiming that carnosine and wolfberry plant extracts were used for their ability to outperform vitamins A, C and E in neutralizing skin-damaging free radicals. The ingredient is actually listed as Lycium Chinese fruit extract, which some would claim to be goji berry if it came from the right region. However, the use of "goji berries" had not yet become popular.

Kate Hudson to Portray "Big Eyes" Artist Margaret Keane
Kate Hudson to Portray "Big Eyes" Artist Margaret Keane
Kate Hudson has been cast to play Margaret Keane, the painter well-known for her depictions of children with gigantic eyes. According to Variety, Keane's works became "one of art's first mass-market success stories in the 1950s."
Aptly titled Big Eyes, the movie will be a drama that follows "Keane's personal awakening at the onset of the feminist movement, leading to a lawsuit she filed against her husband, Walter, who claimed credit for her works."
A pretty far cry from Fool's Gold, it will be refreshing to see Hudson get back to showing her real acting chops, the kind of stuff we've been craving ever since her performance in Almost Famous. Despite those little painted kids totally creeping me out, I'm curious to see how this film turns out.

Official Motorola Droid X2 specs leaked
As far as the Motorola DROID X2 is concerned, it will be powered by a 1GHz dual-core Tegra 2 processor and will apparently be Verizon's first dual-core handset. It is not an LTE enabled phone which means that the honor of being the carrier's first 4G supported dual-core phone will go to the Motorola DROID Bionic.
The Motorola DROID X2 keeps the same sized 4.3 inch display and resolution has been increased to qHD (540 x 960). The RAM/ROM duo matches the original handset at 512MB/8GB and the camera remains at 8MP with video capture at 720p although the Tegra 2 allows for 1080p playback using HDMI at 26-30 fps. Wi-Fi now supports 802.11a as opposed to the 802.11b on the first-gen model. Android 2.2 is listed as the OS on the spec sheet although there is some hope that we could see Gingerbread on board out of the box.
Thanks, Philip!

If it was LTE I'd be buying it in a heartbeat. I love my X, but this is a refresh, not a brand new phone. THat's why I'm waiting for Bionic.
2. Sniggly (Posts: 7305; Member since: 05 Dec 2009)
Well, lack of Gingerblur is disappointing, but it could be just like the original X, where we see the update within a month or two of launch.

Bugger you Motorola... Android 2.2 is so last year!!!!!
5. Droid_X_Doug (Posts: 5993; Member since: 22 Dec 2010)
I'm with bossmt_2 - the X2 is looking like a refresh. Since the Bionc is looking more like a 4Q2011 phone, I may be looking real hard at the EVO 3D. Especially if the EVO 3D is available in mid-July when my contract is up.

1080p video recording will come with Gingerbread? Who knows?
7. stagger0 (unregistered)
Dual-core tegra 2 processor, qHD screen, True HDMI mirroring. This thing is a bit more than a refresh. For instance, I have a large desktop case. It's ugly, bullet proof, but biig enough for amything I wish to put in it. If I upgrade my Atholon X2 6000+ to. Phenom X6 1090 is that aa refresh? To do that I would need a newer motherboard, andd i would likely upgrade a gpu along with it.
Refresh is like the incrdible to incredible 2.
10. testman22 (Posts: 339; Member since: 03 Nov 2009)
There's not a single enhancement to the design of the phone. The bump in processor speed is not going to be an extreme difference without 4G. And it is not true hdmi mirroring, it is the same hdmi function as the original X with the addition of 1080p playback. This is absolutely a refresh. No increased ram, no increased memory, no front camera, and still running 2.2. The original X will probably get gingerbread before the X2
13. Thump3rDX17 (Posts: 2160; Member since: 10 May 2010)
i kind of get what he's saying testman, a refresh would mean the phone as a whole would receive aesthetic and performance updates to "refresh" the experience. the Droid X2 does not fit this bill, it's more like an upgrade or it's merely being retrofitted enough to be on par with the new echelon of Superphones.

Verizon contiues to churn out phones that are outdated before they hit the streets. I haven't seen a single phone with specs that even compare with phones AT&T and T-Mobile are getting soon(dual core/4g). Sad to see Verizon loading up with phones that aren't even worth the 2yr contract handcuffs. Falling behind again......My Droid X running Gingerbread and overclocked at 1.2ghz will do fine for now...no sense in having a dual core and no 4g

Not sure why anyone would buy this .... Unless of course your not expecting LTE for a long time in your area.
Right now, seems like the Thunderbolt and Charge are the only choices anyone should consider if you can't wait.
18. StillStuckWithDroid (unregistered)
Simply can NOT understand how this phone came out with 3G.....
Seriously Verizon....you better get off your arses and give us a REAL phone to buy that has in it what we want
Thunderbolt...... battery...nuff said
Charge.......sub 1000 Quadrant???.....really??????
Revolution....single core
O Bionic........ screwed that one up
I have two upgrades ready and they don't have a single phone I would waste the money on......still using OGD (over-clocked and Gingerbread)
btw,.....my droid (enhanced) is getting better Q' scores than the Charge....thats freaking sad
Verizon is sooo over confident right now and they dont see how many customers they are losing.......If I dont see the Bionic by the end of July I am going to AT&T

WASHINGTON, DC – The World Bank has set two new goals for itself: ending extreme and chronic poverty in the world by 2030, and promoting shared prosperity, defined in terms of progress of the poorest 40% of the population in each society. Now that the United Nations General Assembly Open Working Group on Sustainable Development Goals has endorsed the Bank's anti-poverty target, debate about how to achieve it has revived an old question: Will the benefits of economic growth trickle down on their own, reaching all, or will we need targeted redistributive policies?
Many people remain in the growth-only camp only because of an error in deductive reasoning; unlike committed ideologues, they can be weaned from their position. That is why the World Bank's second goal of promoting shared prosperity is important not only in itself, but as an essential complement to the goal of ending poverty.
Recognizing that some "frictional" poverty will inevitably persist over the next two decades, the World Bank's formal target is to reduce the percentage of people living below the poverty line – defined as daily consumption of less than $1.25 (in purchasing-power-parity terms) per person – to less than 3%.
World Bank research predicts that if all countries grow at the same rates that they did over the past 20 years, with no change in income distribution, world poverty will fall to 7.7% by 2030, from 17.7% in 2010. If they grow faster, at the average rates recorded in the 2000's, the poverty rate will fall to 5.5%.

Hey there, time traveller!
This article was published 24/9/2013 (1424 days ago), so information in it may no longer be current.
In the Chinese calendar, this is the year of the snake. But to horseplayers at Assiniboia Downs, this has been the year of the Bull.
More precisely, this has been the year of Bull drama.
That's because Balooga Bull, described by longtime veterans as the best horse ever to race at the Downs, has produced a roller-coaster of emotions, both for his connections and his fans.
He came into his four-year-old year with two Horse of the Year titles and victories in the three most important stakes races at the track: the $50,000 Winnipeg Futurity, the $75,000 Manitoba Lotteries Derby and the $50,000 Gold Cup. Only one horse beat him in one of his first 10 races, Pleasant Closing, but Bull vanquished him by 10 lengths in their next race, the Derby.
But this year has been different. He didn't seem quite himself in his first few races, getting beaten twice by his nemesis, Pleasant Closing — even finishing a highly-uncharacteristic fourth in one of them, way behind the others.
Bull-lovers wanted to know just what was going on. He was their horse and in one race they even bet him down to odds of 1-9 (a mere $2.10 return on a $2 investment). And the Bull camp, consisting of 10-time leading trainer Ardell Sayler and his owner Paul Brandt, a Montana cattle rancher, really felt the heat. There was talk around the backstretch that Bull wasn't eating well, that he wasn't happy.
So what to do? Send the Bull down to Nebraska for a full vetting — scoping his innards to see whether something physically was wrong. Thankfully, they discovered the problem: stomach ulcers and a colon issue. That gave the trainer a chance to do something about it: After his fourth place finish in the Wheat City Stakes July 6 — at less-than-even-money odds — he disappeared, then suddenly burst onto the scene six weeks later, posting a jaw-dropping workout of 59 seconds for 5/8ths of a mile.
As trainer Sayler said later, this race was more important than winning the Derby last year, so when his Bull utterly demolished the field, the trainer was almost speechless. "I had an apple in my throat after the race," Sayler said. What a relief!
Then his great horse came back to win the Gold Cup for a second time to now be considered for an unprecedented third Horse of the Year title. Yet, said Sayler, the horse is "just 70%" and will continue to be treated down at his South Dakota ranch through the fall and winter. Does that mean fans will see an even better Bull emerge next season? Now that's an exciting — and scary — thought!

The Power of One
Will ZF and SeaVee shake up the boating world with their single-pod center console?
One of the best things about the Miami International Boat Show is that it's so big, I always find at least one thing there that I never expected. This year the surprise was a 34-foot center console with a single-diesel pod drive. The boat, a joint project of SeaVee Boats and ZF Marine, attracted a lot of attention at the Marriott Marina, where it was available for test rides. I had a special interest in the rig because I used to own a 34-footer powered by a single diesel, and since she lacked a bow thruster, I often daydreamed about what a single pod would do for her rather quirky low-speed maneuverability. Back then I even broached the prospect with some Volvo Penta engineers, but they shot it down on two counts. One, despite the fact that the IPS software can accommodate triple and quad installations, it apparently is not amenable to single-pod operation. Two, the hydrodynamics of the IPS drive are not very efficient at the displacement speeds my boat was restricted to. Indeed, the engineers warned that I might even see a decrease in efficiency.
This installation, I discovered, handily sidesteps both obstacles. First, it employs the new 2800 Series pod from ZF, the smallest pod the company offers and one that is programmable for use as a single. Second, SeaVee's 340 Series is anything but slow. Whether rigged with dual or triple outboards or single or dual diesel inboards (or as an open or cuddy) the boat can fly. Since the motive power in this case was a 480-hp Cummins MerCruiser diesel, exceeding displacement speed would not be a problem.
ZF programmed the 2800's software to allow it 180 degrees of movement—90 degrees to either side of centerline—when the helmsman selects Easidock mode on the ZF electronic control. This also limits full-throttle operation to 930 rpm (about six knots) and transfers steering from the wheel to the ZF joystick. Twisting the joystick not only rotates the pod but also activates the ZF 185 electric bow thruster. When Easidock is not engaged, pod range is limited to 60 degrees—30 degrees to either side of centerline—to preclude imprudent high-speed maneuvers. Move the single-lever control forward, and as the diesel throttles up, Easidock automatically disengages.
While the SeaVee was available for rides during the show, neither ZF nor SeaVee were willing to allow an actual test of it —i.e., fuel consumption and speed data—as it wasn't dialed in. (In early April, the tweaking was continuing.) While the demo boat performed admirably, replicating the precision pirouettes we've come to expect from multiple-pod installations, there were reports of proportioning issues, principally the bow leading the stern during lateral movement. It's worth noting that the thruster is proportional; the amount of thrust varies with the amount of twist in the joystick. The ZF system also includes an electronic compass designed to eliminate yaw. Balancing these two factors is largely what is involved with the testing and tweaking.
SeaVee was a natural partner for this installation as it was an early adopter of IPS and currently offers it as an option on its 39 center console/cuddy and 43 express. SeaVee vice president of sales Ariel Pared's personal boat is an IPS-powered 390 center console, which he regularly enters in tournaments, and he claims the company is the only center console builder currently offering pod drives. Pared is building a single-pod 340 as a replacement for his 390.
The big advantage of this package is its combination of fuel efficiency and maneuverability, one likely unmatched by other boats in its class. But it comes at a cost. While pricing had not been firmed up at presstime, reports had the base at around $207,000. That's a lot of money for a 34-foot center console but not out of line when you consider the cost of the diesel engine and the fact that SeaVee is a premium brand. Its boats feature vacuum-bagged PVC foam and reportedly spend from seven to ten days in the mold to ensure full curing.
Consider also that part of the single-pod package is ZF's iAnchor station-keeping function, which can reportedly maintain boat position to within a three-foot radius. Anyone who's ever tried to hold a single-engine boat—even one with a bow thruster—in position while waiting for a fuel dock or bridge knows what a huge advantage that could be.
All up, this boat is an impressive accomplishment. Will it make single-pod drive a viable option for boats under 35 feet? That depends on its performance numbers and whether prospective buyers can demo it and actually feel how the boat reacts. Even absent test numbers, I have to admit that I'm intrigued.

MERCED - For the first time in history, a solar-powered car is
driving around the world without any carbon emissions - and it will
be in Merced next week (July 18).
Swiss adventurer Louis Palmer is taking a small, blue,
environmentally friendly taxi around the world. The solar-electric
two-seat taxi with attached trailer is an attempt to call attention
to global warming while providing solutions for oil independency.
School of
Engineeringat the University of California, Merced, is
sponsoring a stop on the Solar Taxi world tour to help advocate for
alternative energy. UC Merced is home to the UC Merced Energy
Research Institute, which is made up of several energy-related
research efforts, including projects developing innovative solar
technology, forecasting solar power, and analyzing alternative
fuels. The
LEED-certified UC Merced campus- one of the most
energy-efficient university campuses in the world - is also a
living laboratory for the institute's energy efficiency and
intelligent infrastructure research focus areas.
The public is invited to view the Solar Taxi during an open
house on Friday, July 18 from 12:30 - 2:00 p.m. Press availability
will occur during this time along with a photo opportunity with
Palmer and his crew. The Solar Taxi will be parked outside the
Yablokoff-Wallace Dining Commons at UC Merced.
With a full component of batteries, the Solar Taxi can travel
without recharging for almost 200 miles. With additional energy
from the solar cells on a sunny day, it can travel almost 260
miles. The vehicle has a top speed of 60 miles an hour and needs no
gasoline at all.
By the time the Solar Taxi travels the Earth, it will have been
to 40 different countries upon five continents, including the
United States.

Sonic Advance 2
True Area 53, or Truth Area 53, is the true final Zone in Sonic Advance 2. It consists of a true final boss battle, which is fought as Super Sonic. True Area 53 can be accessed after the player defeats the final boss of XX with Sonic with all the Chaos Emeralds and beating the game with all the other characters. The boss is a different type of mech controlled by Dr. Eggman.
Eggman's mech has an appearance of a crooked-gun. It is mostly orange with some black and yellow stripes. Some of the lines are either gray or purple and it has orange headlights. An Egg Mobile is located on top of the mech's cockpit.
Super Sonic had to fight against the mech to free Vanilla and the captured Flickies (which were trapped inside a pod after being sucked inside the mech, as shown in the cutscene).
After losing to Sonic, Dr. Eggman found Cream's mother Vanilla in a meadow with some Animals and used his mech to capture them while cloaked. Sonic, Tails, Knuckles, Cream and Cheese arrived just as Eggman flew away. Cream couldn't do anything more than watch as Eggman got away with her mother and cry. Sonic, seeing Cream in tears, uses the power of the seven Chaos Emeralds to transform into Super Sonic. Sonic slyly gives Cream a thumbs up and chases after Eggman.
During the fight, Eggman will fire a couple of waves of energy balls at the player in various patterns. He will then fire missiles which the player must deflect them back at the cockpit and damage the mech using the Super Sonic Boost. Also Eggman will fire small energy orbs at Super Sonic's direction. From the second wave of missiles and onwards, Eggman will fire a laser which will freeze Super Sonic if he is hit. He will then inevitably be sucked in by a vacuum on Eggman's mech, causing him to lose rings while on the inside and be spit back out. However, if the player is attacked before being hit by the laser, Super Sonic will not be frozen but Eggman's mech vacuum will still activate. To avoid this, the player can just repeatedly boost away from it. As the fight progresses, Eggman will fire the laser at different phases of his missiles (either during or after the wave of missiles). Near the end of the fight, Eggman will perform a spin attack towards Super Sonic, making it harder to aim the missiles at Eggman while doing so. After enough hits, the mech is defeated.
After the mech is defeated, the capsule will start to fall to the planet. Super Sonic then tries to stop its fall, but the capsule breaks and Sonic loses his Super Form and Vanilla is falling. Sonic tries to save her and manages to grab her hand just in time. Sonic makes a safe landing and Cream embraces her mother with tears in her eyes. While Tails and Knuckles watch the loving moment, Sonic runs off for another adventure.
- The zone Exception from Sonic Rush is similar to this boss fight.

THE late David Hookes once claimed Australia's selectors were so biased towards New South Wales players that they should post a baggy green cap with the blue one to avoid making two presentations.
Almost a decade after Hookes made that famous accusation, the best chance these days of getting a call-up to the Australian side could be by posting back the blue cap from interstate.
The elevation of Usman Khawaja and Jackson Bird to the squad for the second Test against Sri Lanka continues the recent trend of former Blues players earning national call-ups after they left NSW.
Khawaja was picked in six Tests last year as a NSW player, but if he replaces Michael Clarke on Boxing Day he will do so as an adopted Queenslander. Bird played at under-23 level for his home state but never at the highest level, meaning his departure was Tasmania's gain.
Their inclusions come one Test after Phillip Hughes was recalled to the Test side after switching from NSW, while John Hastings, Ed Cowan, Peter Forrest, Daniel Christian and Jason Krejza are others to have earned a recent national debut after seeking options elsewhere.
Adam Gilchrist's departure from his home state in the 1990s - he famously went to Western Australia because he could not dislodge Phil Emery, the then Blues skipper - shows how even some of the greatest slipped through the NSW system.
But other states have also seen future Test players go in recent years, such as Matthew Wade becoming a star in the making after leaving his native Tasmania and Ryan Harris establishing himself after heading to Queensland from South Australia.
Tasmania coach Tim Coyle, whose state has benefited from an influx of established players and potential stars from the mainland, said professional athletes were obliged to chase opportunities, especially when 30 was closer to the age most cricketers matured.
Coyle said in the case of Cowan, the Tigers could provide the assurance his native state could not.
''It's certainly happened in Tasmania, for a number of people for us who have got an opportunity to do well and then [played without being] worried about when the Test players come back, are they going to get dropped,'' he said.
''I know Ed talks about that a lot. In NSW he got some opportunities and might have done OK, but their wealth of international stars forced him out of the team. In Tasmania he got the opportunity to play consistently - not guaranteed a game - but so long as he performed he could stay in the team long-term and that's what's happened.''
Tasmania offered Bird a contract after monitoring his efforts in Sydney club cricket, but it was not a raid by stealth, as Cricket NSW chief executive David Gilbert said the Blues were close to picking the fast bowler, until they plumped for Trent Copeland.
Gilbert himself moved to Tasmania in the late 1980s when he could not see a way of overtaking Geoff Lawson, Mike Whitney and the spinners to get more games.
NSW was plunged into a player exodus this year when Hughes, Khawaja and Nathan Hauritz all left. But given his own history Gilbert said he could not fault players who chased opportunities when competition in the most-populous state was so tight.
"In terms of home-grown, the competition for spots isn't as intense (elsewhere) as it is here," he said.
"We have a lot of people vying for places and you've only got 11 spots to allocate. It's that competition ... those players have had to move because they want to play and you can't blame them for that."

A novel by Scott Oden
He lived in the shadow of kings. One trusted him with his empire; the other feared his every move . . . Memnon of Rhodes (375-333 BCE) walked in the footsteps of giants. As a soldier, sailor, statesman, and general, he was, in the words of Diodorus of Sicily, outstanding in courage and strategic grasp. A contemporary of Demosthenes and Aristotle, Memnon rose from humble origins to command the whole of western Asia in a time of strife and slaughter. To his own people, he was a traitor, to his rivals, a mercenary. But, to the King of Kings, his majesty Darius III of Persia, Memnon was the one man capable of defending Asia Minor from the rising power of the barbaric Macedonians.In a war pitting Greek against Greek, Memnon proved his quality beyond measure. His enemies fought for glory and gold; Memnon fought for something more, for loyalty, for honor, and for duty. He fought for the love of Barsine, a woman of remarkable beauty and grace. Most of all, he fought for the promise of peace.Through the deathbed recollections of a mysterious woman, the life of Memnon unfolds with brilliant clarity. It is a record of his triumphs and tragedies, his loves and losses, and of the determination that drove him to stand against the most renowned figure of the ancient world -- the ambitious young conqueror called Alexander the Great.

According to Joe Celentano, who with his brother John owns and manages Rudy's, "We are about to add a 900-sq-ft refrigerator to supplement the operation." The facility, on the grounds of Westchester County Airport, has also extended its hours and is now serving clients 24/7/365.
Flight Explorer is offering a 5.0c version of its Flight Explorer Professional aircraft situation display. The new version delivers extended integration capabilities with third-party and customer in-house systems and other enhancements. Version 5.0c will interface with Java and non-Windows-based client systems and has been expanded to include two-way, interactive route building and evaluation. It can be fully integrated with flight-planning systems and customer applications and compared with known weather patterns and FAA delays. The route can then be modified and sent back to the originating system to be filed, "lowering fuel cost and saving the customer time."
AirFuel International, a member of the Air Routing Group, is getting a new name–Air Routing Fuel. A spokeswoman at the Houston-based company said the move was an effort to more closely identify the fuel procurement management company with the Air Routing Group parent company. Nothing else has changed, she said. Air Routing Fuel manages aviation jet fuel procurement for 2,500 corporate aircraft worldwide and offers total fuel management services and cost/price analysis.
Also, Air Routing is expanding its travel department to keep pace with what it described as "the growing demand to handle all travel arrangements for the company's flight crew client base." The Houston-based company established its own in-house travel desk four years ago, and according to Air Routing v-p Tim Maystrik, the company booked more than 20,000 room nights last year for flight crew clients. Much of the demand, said travel manager Kaaren Scoggins, is the result of a "tremendous growth" in travel to the Far East, particularly to China.
Risk management and crisis response is now part of Arinc Direct services, along with an enhanced flight following program. Last month, the Annapolis, Md.-based company formed an alliance with iJET Intelligent Risk Systems, a provider of risk-management and crisis response services, to offer detailed destination intelligence to business jet operators as an integrated part of the Arinc Direct suite of flight services. It allows Arinc Direct flight-planning customers real-time access to iJET's global intelligence database. Included in the database is information on current risks and situations in the destination city or country, from weather conditions and the political climate to terrorist threats and vaccination requirements. Arinc Direct provides the integrated service to subscribers at no additional cost. Also last month, Arinc Direct began offering its subscribers a premium flight-following service tailored to the needs of individual operators and flight planners. It allows Arinc flight coordinators to take a proactive approach to flight planning, aircraft tracking and pilot communications, working directly with the operator's dispatcher or flight department.

A former Citigroup vice president in New York City has admitted to embezzling more than $22 million from the bank for his personal use.
Gary Foster pleaded guilty to bank fraud charges in Brooklyn federal court on Tuesday.
The New York Post says that under the plea agreement, he faces up to 10 years in prison.Prosecutors say Foster also could be fined as much as $44 million.
Authorities say he used the money to buy luxury cars and homes in Manhattan, Brooklyn and New Jersey.
Foster was arrested in June. He was vice president of the treasury finance department until quitting in January.
According to court papers, Foster siphoned funds from various Citigroup accounts and wired the money into his private account at another bank.

It was about a month ago I realized something very important was looming on the horizon.
Ainsley's third birthday party.
Birthdays one and two were affairs mainly for adults. But three? Three-year-olds have classmates and themes and preferences. And are vocal enough to tell you about them, especially when you get it wrong.
PURPLE cupcakes, Mommy. PINK plates and napkins. These gummy bears, not those. DORA!
So-and-so's birthday party had inflatables. Such-and-such's mommy brought us all goody bags. Well, good for them.
I blanched when I saw inflatable prices and could not even begin to imagine the logistics in planning around December's unpredictable weather. And goody bags?
I don't remember getting presents for coming to a birthday party.
What do I put in them? What is the standard for goody bags these days?
It got overwhelming with a quickness. I maybe felt a little faint.
To make matters worse, our girl was born just before Christmas, meaning calendars fill up early and often. Plans had to be made. Now.
We researched several options, ruling out those that were outside because the weather was too much of a wildcard.
That left us with a party at home (cleaning, cleaning, cleaning, cleaning) or moving to a venue (money, money, money, money).
Attending other children's birthdays didn't help. Scores of inflatables and stories of pony rides left us feeling quite inadequate as parents.
Up against deadline, we opted for a party at home. We based it on Ainsley's favorite book, "Bear Snores On," in which a hibernating bear's friends invade his cave and make all sorts of treats while he sleeps.
It helps that Ainsley's nickname is Bear. It's also a theme that, while wintry, is far from Christmas.
I whipped up miniature chocolate cupcakes (always a favorite), poured Swedish Fish and gummy bears into bowls and popped white corn (just like in the book).
Ainsley was delighted — especially because the candy was kept within reach.
I did deviate in that the characters in the book made stew and the thought of a herd of toddlers armed with hot stew made me woozy all over again. Instead, I opted for crowd-pleasing, appetizer-sized meat pies that were perfect for both big and little hands.
I offered them up with a ketchup kicked up with Creole seasoning and Sriracha hot sauce for the grown folks and a store-bought, sweeter dipping sauce for the kiddos.
They were gone in minutes. And maybe, with all their attention focused on pies, the guests didn't notice the crumbs on the counters or the dirty laundry hidden in the bedroom ... Beth Colvin is The Advocate's assistant Food editor. She can be reached at email@example.com.

The three shows join 'The Blacklist', 'Parks and Recreation', 'The Voice' and 'The Celebrity Apprentice' on the network's renewal list.
NBC gives another year to live for "Grimm", "Chicago Fire" and "Chicago P.D.". The network has renewed these three shows, bringing them back for the 2014-2015 TV season. The fantasy procedural series will return for a fourth season, the firefighter drama is renewed for a third season, while its spin-off will return for a sophomore season.
These shows' renewals were quite predicted. "Grimm" is averaging a 2.5 rating among adults 18-49 and 8.1 million total viewers on Friday nights. "Fire" posts an average of 10.6 million viewers and a 3.1 rating in the coveted demo, while its spin-off "P.D." is averaging a 2.5 rating among adults 18-49 and 8.9 million total viewers.
The trio join "The Blacklist", "Parks and Recreation", "The Voice" and "The Celebrity Apprentice" which have secured renewals earlier. Other dramas which are still awaiting verdict on their future include "Parenthood", "Revolution" and "Hannibal".

NEW YORK, Aug 1 (Reuters) - Pipeline company Williams Cos Inc on Monday laid out plans to move forward as a standalone company and invest $1.7 billion in its master limited partnership, Williams Partners, in the wake of the breakup of its more than $20 billion takeover by rival Energy Transfer Equity LP in June.
"I don't think there's anybody positioned the way Williams is right now, very narrowly focused on the concept of growing natural gas volumes," Chief Executive Alan Armstrong said in an interview, arguing that there is currently a wave of capital investment by industrial companies that is dependent on natural gas.
"I really think we've got ourselves in a real sweet spot and are very well positioned for the next three or four years."
Williams' shares have fallen nearly 60 percent over the last year as the company fought unsuccessfully to force rival Energy Transfer Equity to close its agreed upon purchase of Williams. Shortly following the deal's collapse, nearly half of Williams' board resigned after failing to oust CEO Armstrong.
Williams posted a second quarter loss, with results weighed down by a one-time charge related to the upcoming sale of its Canadian operations. It said it will slash its dividend by more than two-thirds to help pay for the reinvestment in Williams Partners.
The company also unveiled a distribution reinvestment plan which will allow Williams and other investors in Williams Partners to forego payouts from the partnership in exchange for new shares. (Reporting by Michael Erman and Mike Stone)

Presumably, when you sold your home, you set aside money for certain repairs that your buyer was going to take care of. However, we would assume that if the cost of those repairs was lower than the $13,000 you deposited, youd get that money back. Otherwise, we think that you wouldnt have deposited money into an escrow but given the money to the buyers. Thursday's Photos of the day When you deposited the money in escrow, you should have signed a document that outlined when and how those funds would be disbursed. Since you closed in Virginia, you probably were not represented by an attorney, but rather that the closing was handled through a closing attorney. If you have a copy of the escrow agreement, you might want to see what it says about the timing and disposition of the money.
