ENGLISHTOWN, N.J. (May 15, 2000) - Tom Martino heads for familiar territory this weekend at Old Bridge Township Raceway Park and the 31st annual Matco Tools Spring Supernationals. Growing up just a few miles from this facility, it would be accurate to say that this is where the Century 21 Pontiac Firebird driver cut his drag racing teeth, and last year at this event, Martino used his knowledge of the racetrack to score a runner-up finish to Richie Stevens.
The Matco Tools Spring Supernationals on May 18 -21 is the eighth race on the 23-event NHRA Winston championship tour. Qualifying highlights can be seen on ESPN2 on Saturday, May 20, beginning at 7 p.m. Eastern. Same-day coverage of final eliminations can be seen on Sunday, May 21, starting at 9:30 p.m. Eastern. Heading into Englishtown, how is your program faring this year?
"I'm somewhat happy with the season so far. I'm very happy with the potential the Century 21 Firebird has of running strong. Whenever we make a halfway decent run, we run with the top two or three cars of the session. I'm very disappointed with our consistency. I'm not making any excuses because I'm the clutch guy and our biggest problem has been the clutch. We think the last couple of races we nailed down that we had coating that was just worn out. We borrowed a clutch for the last race and it made all the difference in the world. Up until now, I've had mixed emotions. I'm happy with how we can run but a little disappointed in how we've been running. I thought we would be one of the top three cars by the end of the year, and the way we've run I'm hoping to be one of the top five cars."
But it's a big improvement compared to last year.
"Last year at this time we were totally confused. I didn't know which direction to go in to fix the problem. The only thing we were doing good last year was making good horsepower. We were making horrible runs, horrible raceday decisions, horrible track decisions and every time we turned around we were doing something wrong. We just fought that car and I did a poor job with it."
How has the addition of Bob Cave helped?
"It has to be the best money I've spent in a long while. Bob Cave takes a lot of the preparation responsibilities away from me. Tommy Kling works his tail off on the engines, and he also runs Jesel Valvetrain, but it's very hard for Tommy to handle day-to-day racecar stuff. What little time he has left is devoted to Jesel. Bob has now taken over racecar preparation both at the shop and at the racetrack, and all the miscellaneous stuff. We wear things out, but we no longer break parts because of too many runs - he keeps track of that stuff. He's a more than capable mechanic so he does more than just keep the facts straight. He can make the decision to change something, make the change and not even have to bother me with it. He can handle anything on the car that I can do. He's here right now changing manifolds on the motor on the dyno. He's a very capable engine mechanic so I got a bonus out of it. Now Tommy (Kling) can concentrate on other things while Bob and I can work on something else. We get 150 percent more work done per week in the engine shop. I'm having dinner more often at the house this year than in all of last year. Plus when I go testing now, Tommy could never go with me because of his commitment to Jesel -- everything was on my shoulders. Now we have a full crew. Now we learn what we should learn because everyone is doing the job that they should be doing and not three other jobs."
Do you feel that you may have let a couple of opportunities get away from you this year?
"There were two races. Gainesville, even though I lost in the first round, I lost in a dead heat to Richie Stevens. The way the ladder shook out I would have been the fastest car all day. Then we go to Atlanta, struggle a little in qualifying with setup, and then on Saturday we got it right and really ran well. We ran good in the first two rounds of eliminations. I don't know if I would have won because Jegs has been awful tough in the finals. They do an excellent job over there. But I should have beaten Bruce (Allen) - that was just driver error. We both did as good a job as possible driving our cars from point A to B, but he did a better job on the tree than I did. I wasn't a happy camper on Sunday afternoon in Atlanta. I felt like I let my best shot of the year slip away."
And now you're coming into Englishtown where you had a good race last year. "Yes, and unless they did something weird to that track we should be fast again. We have a familiarity with the facility that no matter how the track conditions may change, we've raced on it. We can go up to the starting line, take a look and say 'remember when we were here last July and it did this?' We can go back to our notes and bam, we have a pretty close setup. I feel very confident going into Englishtown. I'd be very unhappy if we're not in the top five qualifying and we're not around in the late rounds of eliminations. A big error on my part, or something has to break to keep us out of the final there."
With it being your home racetrack, do you have a certain comfort zone when you're racing there?
"I hate to say yes because on two occasions I didn't qualify, but both times were due to parts breakage. One time I broke a line lock and the car rolled the beams during a one-session qualifying deal. Another time I broke a transmission, but yes there is a comfort zone. When we go out there, very seldom will we make an ugly run unless we're trying something new. We know that racetrack very well. We can go there in the middle of the summer when the track is 120 degrees and we can go right down the middle. So yeah, there's a comfort zone, but I'm not so sure that the added pressure of friends and family watching and being there doesn't cancel it out. I like to think that the pressure doesn't bother me, but at Englishtown I feel it more than any other place. I've been in a final at Indy two times, and it doesn't seem that it was as pressure filled as racing at Englishtown."
How did you get your start in racing?
"I've been around racing and automobiles my entire life. My dad (Sonny Martino) raced as a hobby, and he and a couple of his buddies raced. We were lucky enough that we had a large detached garage off of our house and that was where he and his buddies kept their cars -- that was the 'hangout.' After dinner if I was allowed to go outside I'd go out in the garage, and when you're seven or eight years old it's easy to develop a strong interest in certain things - especially cars and racing. I'd hear my dad and his buddies talk and you know, bench racing is still the most fun thing. I'd listen to them bench race and I couldn't think of anything that could possibly be more fun. My dad was involved in a Top Fuel car and back then they ran on a regular basis on Sundays at Englishtown. It was a weekly eliminator with five or six cars showing up each week. But the car he personally owned was a D-Gas 55 Chevy. He had the national record in D-Gas -- I want to say it was a mid-12-second time, and considering my street driven GTO ran in the 10s, I like to kid him about it."
The schedule picks up in the next couple of months. Are you ready?
"We're not looking forward to it because it's so hard to try and develop more horsepower and learn things at the shop when you're racing three out of the next four weeks. I'm looking forward to this time of the year because it does seem for whatever reason that we run better. We never could put our finger on exactly why, some years we think it's our engine combinations. We always think the guys who make the most raw horsepower fall off the least in the bad air. That's why Warren (Johnson) never seems to struggle when it gets hot - it's like he even shines more. The summer is always the better part of our year. Even last year that was the case."
In the long run, where do you see your career headed?
"I want to be one of the three or four guys that is fighting it out for the Winston championship every year. My goal is to win the championship, and I'd be very disappointed if I retire without achieving that goal. I'd be even more disappointed if I'm not fighting it out with a couple of guys four or five years in a row coming down to the last three or four races. I would also like to see it that Pro Stock becomes a viable way to make a living for racers. I'm very fortunate that I have companies like Century 21, Jesel and Pontiac that enable me to do this and be able to put dinner on the table. But there are other guys that work just as hard as I do that aren't as fortunate to have adequate sponsorship. If we all shine just a little more, then maybe we could get more corporate sponsorship involved and have a little more leverage with NHRA to get them to give us more money for being at the races. Even if you're not one of the top four cars you should be able to make a living in Pro Stock as a full-time job. You're not going beat the Jeg Coughlins, the Warren Johnsons, the Jim Yates, the Martinos, Reher-Morrison unless you are doing it as a full-time job."
How frustrating is it trying to get Pro Stock equal time with the Fuel classes?
"That frustrates me more than not being able to make enough horsepower to be dominant. We can work on a horsepower problem, and we'll see gains or no gains by how much effort we put into it. No matter how hard we try, no matter how good of a show we put on, no matter how professional we try to conduct ourselves, it's still how they (NHRA) look at us. Just look at the television package. It's absolutely horrible. They showed a little glimpse of Jeg beating Bruce (Allen) in the final. Here's Jeg and Bruce, after beating 38 Pro Stock Cars they get to the final - who cares who lost the first round of Funny Car? Jeg just won his sixth race, Bruce Allen is in his first final round in a couple of years, looking for additional sponsorship in addition to what they get from GM and Reher-Morrison Racing Engines. How hard is it to throw those guys a little extra play? I didn't want Bruce to be in the final, I wanted to be in the final. But they could use a little push to put in their package to take to the sponsors. We've been accepted into the PRO racers association thanks to Mark Pawuk and Jim Yates, who've done a lot of behind the scenes work and now PRO has doubled their membership. I'm in this for the long run. I'm hoping that in two or three years down the road you'll be talking to someone who feels good about being able to make a living at this just by fielding a competitive Pro Stock Car, not just a winning car. You have to be able to do that. If you can run in the middle of the pack, that means you're making a big enough investment that you should be able to see enough of a return where you can make an honest living at this."

Here's What Fear Does to Your Brain
At Halloween, we confront our biggest fears on the streets instead of in our nightmares: Mummies skulk as if they just crawled out of their tombs; ghosts seem to have arisen from the grave; and spiders, snakes, and skeletons run around us.
We'll get to the answer in a bit. But first: What IS fear?
The almond-shaped amygdala, a part of the brain, is responsible for our strong reactions. It is the source of intense emotions, such as aggression and fear. David Bilbas, Curator of Technology Programs at the California Science Center — who also curated the exhibition "Goosebumps: The Science of Fear" — told ATTN: that fear is a universal emotion, such as joy, anger, or disgust.
But unlike the other emotions, fear is essential to our survival.
"The brain is always on the lookout for danger," Bilbas said. "Most of the time we aren't even conscious of that, and this is the survival mechanism. When we perceive danger, we react to something second. It's always good to mistake a rock for a snake rather than a snake for a rock."
Of course, too much or too little of the emotion can cause psychological problems such as anxiety, PTSD, and other mental health issues.
"If you're fearful, you'll be too afraid to go out and get food, but if you're fearless then you might get killed by an animal," Bilbas said.
"Goosebumps: The Science of Fear" explores different types of fears: Innate fears such as falling and loud noises, and learned fears, such as animals and electric shocks. In the case of electric shock, there's also the fear in the anticipation of fear: People really do fear fear itself.
"With conditioning, you can fear anything," Bilbas said. "If your fear system is healthy."
Abigail Marsh, an Associate Professor in the Department of Psychology at Georgetown University, explained to Bytesize Science that there are three stages of fear: Sensing something threatening and freezing in response, responding by fleeing, or responding by fighting the threat.
"The stages of the fear response that are mediated by [brain] structures at low levels to hearing something scary is usually vigilance and freezing," Marsh said in the interview. "There's an evolutionary reason for this, which is that movement will often release predatory attacks in predators."
After freezing, if the brain concludes that the environment is harmful, Marsh says the nervous system moves into stage two: the flight response.
The third and final step in the brain's assessment of fear: fight, which is used when the threat is so close that fleeing is no longer an option.
When you encounter something you fear — say, a tarantula lunges toward you or you hear a loud noise — you jump or squeal. That's adrenaline sparked from your amygdala, which has released a chemical called glutamate that triggers your fight-or-flight response through the hypothalamus, another part of the brain. These reactions all take place automatically and instantly, and you have little control over them.
The fight-or-flight response is a physiological response to events that could cause you harm. Your muscles tense up as your heart races; your pupils dilate; your breath quickens; and your body surges with endorphins, oxytocin, adrenaline and dopamine. Your reaction is hormonal, physical and mental.
So let's get back to our initial question: Why do we seek out things that scare us to death?
If you are facing a real threat that initiates the fear reaction, you get no pleasure from it.
But during Halloween, your rational brain (you hope) understands that the terrifying figures you see aren't really a threat. And that's when the hormonal, physical and mental experience of fear becomes fun. "You have to keep in mind that you can go to a scary movie, and you know that you're in a safe place," Bilbas said. "It's a safe-risk situation where you know you're not in danger. But at some points, the brain doesn't distinguish between the real and the perceived."
It's the same pleasure you get from roller coasters, bungee jumping, extreme sports, and other risky activity: If you recognize that no harm will befall you, the adrenaline rush is addictive.
Of course, in a situation where you recognize that "this is just a movie," or "that's not a real skeleton falling from this haunted house's ceiling," your parasympathetic nervous system eventually steps in to calm you down and ease the adrenaline rushing through your body. So in this Halloween season, just be grateful for that. Without it, being terrified wouldn't be nearly as fun.

Tykn is modern certification & authentication made simple. It can be used to prove the existance and authenticity of any digital document, such as certificates issued by a verified authority or transcripts issued by a universitiy.
When an important digital file is issued, the issuer can certify it with Tykn as an original document. The file's fingerprint is then permanently embedded a decentralized peer to peer network. The document can be checked for it's authenticity by dragging it from the desktop to Tykn's web interface. A file's digital fingerprint is unique to every file, small modifications (even by 1 pixel) to the original file changes its fingerprint entirely. The exact file (Its fingerprint) must already exist in the network for it to be verified as authentic. When a file is forged or modified, it contains a different fingerprint. A certificate that is uploaded with a date changed will not have its fingerprint in the network, and is therefore identifed as unoriginal or uncertified.

There are three ways to create users in Yosemite Server (the Server app running on Yosemite if you're so bored you feel the need to try and correct me). The first is using the Server app, the second is using the Users & Groups System Preference pane and the third is using the command line. In this article we will look at creating users in the Server app.
To do so, open the Server app and connect to your server. Then click on the Users entry in the ACCOUNTS list. The list of users is displayed, based on the directory domain(s) being browsed. A directory domain is a repository of account data, which can include local users, local network users and users in a shared directory service such as Open Directory and Active Directory.
The drop-down list allows you to see objects that are stored locally as well as on a shared directory server. Click on the plus sign to create a new account in the chosen Directory Domain.
When prompted, provide the following information about the new user:
Note: Optionally, you can also drag an image onto the image shown in the New User screen if you'd like the user to have an avatar as done in the above screenshot.
Once the account details are as you would like, click on the Done button. The account will then be displayed in the list of available accounts. If the server has not been made an Open Directory server then you can only create local users through the Server app.
Once the account is created, right-click click on the user to see the option to edit the account you just created, edit their access to services hosted on the server, configure email information and change their password.
Click Edit User. Here, you have two new features. You can add the user to groups and use the checkbox for "log in" to disable the account.
Click Cancel and then using the cog wheel menu while the user is highlighted, note that you can, click on Edit Access to Services. Here, uncheck each service that the user should not have access to. If the service isn't running then it's not a big deal. You can highlight multiple accounts concurrently and then use this option to disable services for users en masse. Here, you can also edit your user templates (which are settings inherited by new users who you select that template for) as well as edit advanced options, such as changing the UID, default group, short name, aliases, default shell and home directory path. As the screen indicates, only change this stuff if you know exactly what you're doing.

WASHINGTON/ANKARA Turkish President Tayyip Erdogan and U.S. President Donald Trump agreed in a phone call overnight to act jointly against Islamic State in the Syrian towns of al-Bab and Raqqa, both controlled by the militants, Turkish presidency sources said on Wednesday. President Erdogan pressed Trump not to support the Syrian Kurdish fighters, and to "stand with Turkey" against Gulen's network of supporters, the news agency said.
Turkish President Recep Tayyip Erdogan visits the blast site outside the Besiktas FC's Vodafone Arena Stadium, Istanbul, Turkey, Dec. 12, 2016. "We said it would be a mistake but we were not able to get them to listen", Daily Mail cited Cavusoglu as saying.
Two Turkish soldiers were killed and 15 slightly wounded in the clashes on Tuesday night and Wednesday morning with so-called "Islamic State" (IS) militants in northern Syria, Turkey's military said on Wednesday.More news: No animals were harmed during production, investigation reports
Few believe the Pentagon will abandon the YPG and its Arab allies, who have proven to be the most effective fighting force against IS on the ground ahead of a planned offensive to seize Raqqa, the jihadis' "capital". His statement came as Turkish troops pushed their offensive against IS into the Sunni Arab town of al-Bab, capturing the strategic Aqil Hill and al-Bab's hospital.
The U.S. president reportedly told Erdogan Washington wished to develop ties with Turkey and to engage in close cooperation with the country on regional issues.
After years of estrangement under Barack Obama over the White House's refusal to forcefully remove Syria's President Bashar al-Assad from power as well as Washington's support for Kurdish paramilitaries, Ankara is hoping to rebuild its relationship with the US. The US president said during the conversation that he sees Turkey as a North Atlantic Treaty Organisation ally and a partner in the global war against ISIS terror. Erdogan also asked the US not to provide assistance to the Syrian Kurdish YPG militia which Turkey considers as a terrorist organization. Ankara has complained in the past about a lack of US support for that campaign.

Just read this on Forbes:
Social media is also no longer just an infatuation of the consumer world. Facebook, LinkedIn and other sites have large communities of users who are able to quickly offer up a point of view that is very effective in shaping a small business owner's decisions. Sector-specific social sites are also emerging including the likes of Spiceworks, which provides a community of IT users that readily share views on their experiences across virtually every technology product and solution.

If you type in "comic book" while visiting Kickstarter you will see over one thousand results. It's opening up a door for creator owned projects that wouldn't be available otherwise. There's competition to gain the attention of comic fans everywhere. The only difference is Kickstarter gives them a say in what type of books they'd like to see published. In return they get perks for donating to the book. The perks range from free copies of the comic to issues signed by Andy Hurley (Fall Out Boy drummer), which was the case with Matt Miner's November release Toe Tag Riot. Matt Miner is one creator who uses Kickstarter to his advantage. It has helped him produce his comic Liberator, while bringing attention to his new titles Critical Hit and Toe Tag Riot. Miner was gracious enough to answer a few questions for me.
Lindsey Bass: How did you first get involved with using Kickstarter to fund your comics?
Matt Miner: For creators I think Kickstarter has two main benefits. The first is obviously financial – I went to Kickstarter for my debut comic series last year because I didn't have the money to fund the art. The second is exposure – through Kickstarter you can build an audience for a book long before it hits the shelves. For a book like Toe Tag Riot or Liberator (or Critical Hit, the sequel) that's very valuable.
L: What inspired you to write the stories for Liberator, Critical Hit, and Toe Tag Riot?
M: I got lightly involved in human rights activism when I was in my late teens, I worked on a couple pro-LGBT things back in the mid '90s and about ten years ago I got involved doing work on behalf of animals. I was raised to think beyond myself, to be considerate of other people and to love animals, so I've always had a keen interest in social justice issues.
L: Westboro Baptist Church brought some attention to Toe Tag Riot. What effect did it have on your Kickstarter campaign for the comic?
M: Westboro Baptist gave us a knee-jerk endorsement of the book since their awful signs showed in one single image on the Kickstarter page. It wasn't until later that they realized the book is LGBT-positive and includes a gay couple in the ensemble of heroes that they got upset. They gave us the best pull quotes we could have asked for, calling me and Sean Von Gorman (TTR co-creator) "Insincere pervs" and claiming the book would "Split Hell wide open."
So what effect did they have? They gave us some laughs. Aside from being zombie food, they're really only good for mockery.
L: What comic book writers inspired you to write yourself?
M: When I was young I was bigtime into Frank Miller, Alan Moore and Garth Ennis. Darker stuff. In 2003 I had a house fire that destroyed my comic and toy collection (and everything else) so I dropped out of comics until a couple years ago when I got sucked back in my Scott Snyder & co's Gates of Gotham and TEC Black Mirror stories. Scott really made me want to start writing again.
L: Are there any causes that you're passionate about that you plan on adding into comics in the future?
M: I don't have any plans, no. However, Sean and I want to do a Toe Tag Riot second series and with that book I really dig being able to look at issues from a less serious standpoint. Instead of dissecting the issues and examining a cause we can just sic a punk rock zombie attack on shitty people.
L: Is there any advice you'd give people that are looking to become more active when it comes to social issues?
M: Follow independent news media. Follow twitter accounts from citizen journalists in areas like Ferguson or Palestine or wherever something's going down. See what's really going on and then you'll start seeing ways you can help.
"Critical Hit #1", the follow up to Liberator, hits shelves on October 1st, while Toe Tag Riot will be released in November. If you haven't read Liberator, I highly recommend you check it out as well. Whether you're into human rights or zombies, Miner's books have a little something for everyone to enjoy. Of course, a big thank you to Matt Miner for taking the time to talk with me.

Can someone define " Fuzz Testing " .
What is a Fuzz Testing
{ 2 comments }
- September 18, 2008 at 7:10 pm
Fuzz testing or fuzzing is a software testing technique that provides random data ("fuzz") to the inputs of a program. If the program fails (for example, by crashing, or by failing built-in code assertions), the defects can be noted.
- September 20, 2008 at 11:47 pm
How about this definition: A means of testing that causes a software program to consume deliberately malformed data to see how the program reacts.

This year at the Pebble Beach Concours d'Elegance, an enchanting 1936 Lancia Astura Pinin Farina Cabriolet left the judges spellbound and drove away with the Best of Show prize.
The Astura's win at the prestigious Pebble Beach Concours d'Elegance was the first time a Lancia took top honours at the most prestigious classic car show in the world.
The winning Lancia, is just one of six 'Tipo Bocca' Lancia Astura's that were ever built. Each Tipo Bocca Lancia Astura had a different personality and this specific car had a power top, curved side glass and engraved side trims running around the entire car. Also present were a basket-woven interior, skirted rear fenders and dashboard made with woodgrain dash.
The Lancia Astura Pinin Farina Cabriolet is powered by a 2973cc V8 engine that produced 82bhp. The engine was mated to a
However, the car was quite lucky to have made it to Pebble Beach as it was almost sent to the scrap heap in 1962, 26 years after it was first commissioned from Pininfarina by an Italian Lancia dealership in 1936.
The car was found rusting in England by some Lancia enthusiasts, who purchased it for just £15 for it (around £224 or Rs. 19,868 in today's money). The new owner reached out to Pininfarina for help who offered to restore the car for free.
After it was restored, the Astura made its way into the collection of English rocker Eric Clapton in the 1970s. Clapton must have thought it looked 'wonderful tonight' as he described it as "the most fun I've had off stage and out of bed."
Clapton sold the car back to Pininfarina who displayed it at their museum till 2009, when it was purchased by current owner Richard Mattei of Paradise Valley, Arizona, who tried to sell it off in 2010 at the Pebble Beach auctions.
However, when the car did not sell, Mattei commissioned an extensive restoration which brought the car back to its former glory after six years of work. Mattei was then invited for this year's Concours d'Elegance event and well you know what happened next.

Gardening Hero is the 20th episode of Battle for Dream Island. It was released on August 1st, 2011. In this episode, the contestants are sent to space because of budget cuts.
Before Cake at Stake
The episode starts with Firey and Leafy playing tic-tac-toe and Leafy just won her 73rd game in a row. Firey wants another rematch, in which Leafy eventually agrees. Rocky starts barfing which makes Leafy believes he's sick. She starts running to him, and Firey called Leafy but then she gets caught in a net and thrown into space. Firey starts to worry but then is caught in a net and shot into space too. So did Rocky, along with Spongy, Ice Cube, and David. Bubble starts to wonder what's happening as Ice Cube screams. As they get into space, they see Announcer floating. Rocky barfs. Bubble comments on how she's weightless while Ice Cube is amazed. Firey then calls Speaker a radio and asks him why are they in space. The Speaker says it was because of budget cuts, right before the intro plays.
After the intro, Bubble notices the Big Dipper. She takes a star from it and ask to play catch with Ice Cube, Ice Cube then played catch with Bubble. Leafy starts to freak out about how the star of Big Dipper is gone and how Bubble and Ice Cube are playing catch. Speaker announces that even though they are in space, they still need to do Cake at Stake.
Cake at Stake
First off, there is a new Cake at Stake music, much longer than the previous one. Speaker confesses that he learned that a normal cake would explode in space so he got an ice-cream cake instead. Leafy asks how it would make a difference but Speaker tells her to "hush". Bubble, Rocky, Firey and Leafy get the physics-defying ice cream cake. Ice Cube is the first one safe with 72 votes. This time, there is no drum roll when showing who got the most votes because Speaker found it too annoying, prompting Firey to make his own. The result shown that Spongy gets 142 votes and David is eliminated with 331 votes. This episode marks the first time the Double Teleportation Device was used. The intro starts to play again but Speaker stops it after he notices they already played it. Leafy says that they might as well play it, "just for good measure", causing the intro to play again.
The Contest
Leafy and Firey start to talk about how weird David was. Firey says that he looked a lot like human as he does not know what that means. Leafy confesses that they should be friends. Firey thinks it's an alliance but Leafy quickly interrupts saying "just friends" possibly because she doesn't want other people to think that she and Firey are dating. Speaker wants to be friends too but Firey rejected him.
Speaker gives everyone immunity but then says they can lose it. Ice cube get hit by an asteroid while Rocky is abducted by a UFO, but then Rocky barfs, destroying the UFO. So Ice Cube and Rocky lose their immunity.
The twentieth contest is to get into a spaceship. Spongy is the first to do so. Bubble and Leafy get into theirs while Firey can't hold the spaceship. Speaker says if he gets hit, he will lose immunity. Firey is about to get hit with the asteroid but then he can able to gets into his spaceship quickly. Leafy says they should get Spongy, but he dodges all the laser shots as Leafy did in Lofty. Firey tries to go super-speed mode but Leafy says he shouldn't as Spongy shoots her. Bubble starts to be sucked into a Black Hole (by maristanaweb) as well as Spongy. Spongy falls into it first. The others begin to fall into the Black Hole, Bubble scream but then the black hole disappears as it's "sold because of budget cuts". Firey's spaceship is also deleted due to budget cuts while Bubble still has hers as she shoots Firey. Bubble wins immunity, She is happy to say "YOYLECAKE!". The contestants are slowly recovered with a Master Recovery Center. Bubble gives the 2nd immunity to Leafy again. She is amazed of how she was chosen twice but then says she has to do it a lot more times. Speaker announces that 1 of an eliminated contestants will join the game, and that all the eliminated characters will decide who goes home instead of the viewers.
Bold means the contestant has immunity. Italic means the contestants are up for elimination.
Strikeout means the contestant will be eliminated in the next episode.
Ice Cube
- Leafy
- Firey
- Spongy
- Bubble
- Rocky
At the end, Leafy asked the Announcer how they are able to breath, talk, etc. in space, to which the Announcer replies, "budget cuts".
Re-joining lines
- Flower: You better vote me or...or I'll stretch you!
- Blocky: Come on guys! I really deserve a 3rd chance.
- Woody: Eeeehhh... yehh... (nervous)
- Pin: Vote for me, and I'll make improvements to the show of Battle for Dream Island!
- Needle (Announcer calls her Needy): *slaps* DON'T CALL ME NEEDY! (Announcer says Needy and Needle slaps him a couple times in a row)
- Teardrop: *silence*
- Golf Ball: I have a 6.666 repeating percent chance of rejoining the game, and if I rejoin, I'll have a 16.666 repeating percent of winning Dream Island. So from this moment, I have a 1.111 repeating percent chance of winning Dream Island!
- Coiny: Viewers, all you people out there! I love you guys, you're all my friends but just, just think for a moment. Does it really make sense that someone as stupid as Firey is in the game, yet someone like me, is not? Just, just think about that and the answer will come to you; the person you think should win!
- Snowball: I'm the only one who deserves Dream Island, the rest are all weak losers!
- Match: OMG, vote for like, me, and plus, I dyed my hair like blue.
- Eraser: (pressing a button) Hey! This re-join button isn't working!
- Pen: If you vote for me, I'll give you five hundred million vigintillion dollars!
- Tennis Ball: (Announcer calls Tennis Ball "Clumsy Tennis Ball") You know, Announcer, I wouldn't say that if I were you, I've got a magnet and I can de-magnetize you! "Yikes."
- Pencil: Vote for me! Yeah yeah yeah! Type my name! Yeah yeah yeah! So I can re-join the contest! So I can re-join the contest!!
- David: Awwww seriously? "Say something else." NO!
- This is one of the few episodes where Bubble doesn't pop.
- Ironically, she is the only one who doesn't use a Recovery Center that episode.
- GOOF: Jacknjellify made an error, and forgot to add "substantial" important information to the episode, which includes recommended characters, voting details, etc.
- This is the first episode to use the new Cake at Stake song "The Points Are Gone" instead of "There's Points Now".
- This episode marks the first time where Spongy (Leafy) and Bubble (Firey) have killed other characters.
- This is the second episode with a curse word (OMFG) in Leafy's nice list.
- The opening credits are played 3 times throughout the episode, the most of any episode thus far.
- When Spongy was dodging Leafy and Firey's lasers, his dodging looked a lot similar to Leafy's when she was dodging the nails from episode 11 and Leafy dodging the acid spit ball in BFDIA 2.
- This is the second time Flower did her "you better vote for me" animation.
- This episode has the most budget cuts, at 3.
- GOOF: When Leafy says that they did play the intro already, her voice became Bubble's voice.
- Good Guy Greg, a meme, has a text appearance in this episode on the levels of niceness.
- GLaDOS in Leafy's niceness list is a reference to the video game Portal.
- In the updated version, Jacknjellify clarifies that the eliminated contestants will vote someone in the game to be eliminated while the viewers vote a character back into the game. The recommended characters gasp throughout his explanation, which the Speaker eventually shushes.
- The MRC says: "IF YOU, SOMEHOW, MANAGE, TO READ, THIS, PLEASE, COMMENT, ON THIS, VIDEO, SAYING, THAT YOU, FOUND THIS" = If you somehow manage to read this please comment on this video saying that you found this.
- Fire can't survive in the space because the oxygen but Firey is still alive, possibly because of Budget cuts.
- GOOF: For a frame, the TLC's background is different (space).
- GOOF: In 6:22, Golf Ball has 3 legs.
- Ice Cube is shattered by a meteorite.
- Rocky is abducted by aliens.
- Leafy is shot by Spongy's spaceship
- Spongy is sucked into a black hole.
- Firey is shot by Bubble's spaceship.

When you step out and take a risk with God, it's tempting to think everything is going to happen just how you imagined.
You've talked about it, prayed about it, presented your plan to God and subsequently felt His blessing on it. This is your faith offering so you trust that God will honor your risk taking by doing things exactly as you planned. But it never happens like that, does it?
Yet every time I put my faith in God, what I actually do is put my faith in His ability to fulfill my plans.
So here I am, unemployed for 2 months and praying for a job.
When I took the leap of faith to leave a job I loved as a Communications Director at my church in Florida to move to Charlotte, NC with my wife, I knew it was what I was supposed to do. I talked about it constantly with my wife, shared it with my closest friends and family and presented my plan to God. I felt numerous confirmations that God was with us.
The plan was to move to a place where we could start over as Tony and Katie, as one rather than two different people. The plan was for Katie to quit her job and be a stay-at-home mom with our boy. The plan was for me to find a great job that provides for our family on a single income.
We've been in Charlotte for two months and only the first part of the plan has come to pass. Not many people know us here so they meet us as Tony and Katie. She's no longer the girl Tony met online. She's no longer Tony's new wife. We're introduced as one and it's actually pretty great to be known as Tony and Katie (with a beautiful little boy). We're united and operating as one more than we ever have in our marriage.
The other parts of the plan haven't quite happened as I expected. Katie is still working remotely at her job for a few reasons. It's helping carry us financially right now and it's reassuring to have health insurance. But the plan was for her to settle into our new home and focus only on that. She's not complaining about having to work because she's amazing but this wasn't the plan. She just recently agreed to work one more month and honestly, it frustrates me that she has to do that.
The biggest weight on my shoulders right now is finding a job. I can't count the number of people I've talked to and resumes I've sent out. I have 10 years of professional work experience and I haven't had so much as a phone interview. It's discouraging to say the least.
And so I find myself asking God what happened.
Am I doing something wrong? Am I not trying hard enough to find a job? Was I wrong to think I could make enough money to provide for all 3 of us?
But every time I begin to get down, Katie reminds me of God's promises to us and of the blessings we already have here.
She reminds me that we still have everything we need. She reminds us that there are people who will help if we need it. She reminds me that this is a special time for the 3 of us together before I go to work. She reminds me that rest is gift from God.
Ironically this both encourages me and discourages me.
I'm encouraged because she's right and I'm discouraged because I realize I don't have as much faith as I thought.
I realize that my faith was in a plan and not in God. I just wanted Him to bless the plan. I didn't want to really trust that He is our provider. I didn't want to trust that my plan might have been good but that He has something better. I realize that I've been content with a safe faith.
I say I want adventure but what I really want is it to appear like I took a big risk and everything worked out exactly as I planned.
So here I am learning to trust for real, ready to throw my plan out the window. Not because I have a ton of faith but because I can't put my faith in a plan anymore.
I'm learning that safe faith isn't real faith. I'm learning that trust on my terms is really just trust in myself.
I'm going to believe that God is trustworthy. I'm going to believe that He is with us. I'm going to believe He is our provider. I'm going to believe that His plan is going to be better than the safe plan I created.
Because I'd rather have real faith in God than safe faith in myself.

DIAMOND BAR – More than 1,000 marijuana plants were seized Monday night from a house in the 24000 block of Highcrest Drive, CBS2 reported Tuesday morning.
Police arrested two men in what they said was an indoor operation to grow pot, according to the report.
From an upstairs window, investigators said, you could see the glow of a lamp designed to grow marijuana, the CBS report said.
Filters were fitted on the house so smells wouldn't escape, but a tip from Southern California Edison on a high power reading led investigators to the house, according to the CBS account.

Middle name transfers to Last name field in Authorize.net integrationAsked by SunbridgeInstitute on January 21, 2016 at 11:44 AM
In my form, we are using Authorize.net integration, and I am also asking for middle names in the Name field.
When the Authorize.net confirmation comes through, it has mapped the shipper's actual middle name to Authorize's last name field. It should be mapping the shippers actual last name to Authorize's last name field. I'm imagining this is a bug. Can this be fixed?
I'm including a screen shot so you can see the data as it came through from Authorize.net. The name should be "Constance Davis" in both the BILLING and SHIPPING information. You can see that it is "Constance G" under shipping; this is incorrect.
Thank you!
JotForm Support
I think that is because Authorize.net doesn't support the middle name in the Name field of your form. The name field is mapped under the Auth.net properties as the Shipping Name Field. You may consider removing the middle name to fix this.
I will also forward this thread to our developers to see if they can do something about this. If there are updates, you should know it in this thread.
If this was because of Authorize.net not supporting the middle name, wouldn't the Billing name have the middle name instead of last name, just like the Shipping name? Currently the billing name is right and the shipping name is wrong, both while referencing the same field (at least in my form, in this particular case).
For our purposes, I cannot delete the middle name because the State Board of Education requires us to collect it for identification purposes, and often billing and shipping names are different, so this is quite a problem when the last name comes through as a middle name.
This may seem like a tiny problem, but for us it may cause major errors, or at least a lot of confusion and extra work. Can you please ask the developers to see if there's something that can be done? I really don't mind work-arounds, but in this case I can't think of anything else that will solve the problem and still meet our requirements.
Thank you so much!
JotForm Support
This has been already reported, you should be notified via this thread about any updates on this request.
JotForm Support
JotForm's Authorize.Net integration can distinguish between middle name and last name. My tests can confirm this:
It is most likely that your customer entered "Constance G" as their billing name.
Hope this clears this issue.
Thank you for looking into this. Indeed I checked, and wouldn't you know it, our first user put a "G" for her last name on the form, and she uses her middle name as her last name (how bizarre). Thank you for your trouble.

The last leaf!
I finished the last leaf! First I completed the pattern of four sided stitches in the bottom right leaf and then I did the six into one cording and couched it around the outside edges. The basted line at the top was the last thing I did tonight. I am to baste the entire perimeter of the design in preparation for the next step. As a reminder, the basted line is the actual top of the piece. I previously told you a different position, but according to the pattern instructions, this is it.

Starting Seven
Tonight I started the final leaf-number seven. It is the lower left one in this photo. It is worked using Kreinik #8 in gold and coppers and done in the four sided stitch. One diagonal row working from right to left is done and then a left to right alternately across the sketched area. The multi tone carries the general theme of the different colored leaves. This piece is on 14 x 15 stretcher bars and is being worked on 24 count canvas.

More of the filling
I worked on the filling in leaf six. You can now see that the two strands of silver and the one of black silver are part of the pattern and that the two strands of gold and one gold black create the rest of the pattern. This leaf is another in Ms. Chen's variations in metallic colors to add highlights and yet allow continuity in the design. There is a little at the bottom left to stitch and then couch the cording around--that is for tomorrow.

A different view
Anne pointed out that I was showing you this piece from the wrong direction, so here it is with the correct position. I also worked more on leaf number five. This flat stitch is worked with two strands of 105C Kreinik cord and one strand of silver. It is a counted pattern worked on the diagonal. And, the three strands together are slippery! I must have re threaded the needle six or eight times to get this much done.

Around tuit
I finally got around to it and framed Stitches in Sterling. It is a brushed silver frame and sets off this piece nicely.
Then, I finished stitching the Stitch n Zip gift. This is a wild one and done in all Kreiniks and Vineyard Silks. I then lined the inside with some Ultrasuede to cover the back of the stitching.
Tomorrow I will resume the Lacquered Leaves.

Finish on four
Tonight I did a four into one twist with the Lacquered Jewels and couched it down with a single strand of the Lacquered Jewels all around the fourth leaf. This finishes this one as well. I started working the next pattern in the bottom right leaf. You will see lots more of this one tomorrow.

The interior
I completed the interior of leaf four. I finished the pattern by using the copper and copper black in the remaining top rows. Then using a single strand of Kreinik cord in 205C, I filled in the edges of these leaves just like leaf three. I am glad you all like this one and have noticed the subtle shading and how the colors flow between the main focal leaves. I need to do the twist in cord and outline this leaf and I will start this tomorrow.

Two more rows
I was able to complete two more full rows tonight! I must be getting faster at this! These top two rows are either copper or gold and a mix of them in the middles. I should be able to get the last few rows in tomorrow nite! Then you will be able to see what happens with the tips of these.

Half the fourth one
Last night was stitching group and I worked on another present so you will have to wait a while to see it. But tonight, I got back to work on the fourth leaf. The rows are numbered on this one from the bottom up. The bottom right row one is all copper and then row two adds copper mixed with black. Row three has copper/black and gold as does four with some regular copper. Row five is all copper. Remember I am pulling each row with the pearl first and then removing it and adding the Kreinik braids back in. Did you notice the empty spaces at the bottom of the points of the leaves again?

Turboing right along
I finished all the single strands of cord in the rest of leaf three. Then, using the braid, diagonal lines criss cross the pattern areas and are couched in the center. Notice the copper one on the outer left. Last I did the six into one with 205C cord and then couched it down all around the outside edge. Being curious, I started the pull for the next leaf to the left in the bottom right corner. Remember, I used pearl cotton in black and pull the design and then take that out and fill it in with the Kreinik braids.

The third leaf
I worked on the third leaf tonight and completed the wrapped bar patterns in the copper, gold-silver, and gold. Notice the color changes within the rows providing a blending/shading variation. I then started the remaining design for the remainder of the leaf. Using a single strand of yet another color of copper cord, I am doing long stitches to fill in the rest of the leaf! Very different approach to more color variation

Second one is done
I finished the second leaf by continuing to work the pattern in the copper, silver gold and gold. I then did a four strand into one Japanese twist with the Lacquered Jewels this time, and couched it around the outside edge of this leaf. tomorrow I will start on the leaf that has already been started to the left of these. More surprises coming up!

Three colors
Working my way up to the top, I have added the 102 silvery gold and then tonite I added 002 gold along with the copper. This gives the appearance of shading in the leaf. I am getting a little quicker at the pulling technique too!
Posted by NCPat at 9:55 PM 1 comment:
Thursday, September 2, 2010
A couple more rows
Here I have added more in the copper Kreinik all except the very end of the top row. It progresses to 102, the gold and silvery blend. There are more variations coming up as well.

Starting number two
I started leaf number two, which is directly below the top right one, by taking out all the previous stitching. I spent some time reading over the pattern, looking at the pictures and decided that what was there was not right. This pattern is created by first pulling the threads using size 8 pearl cotton with medium pressure. That is removed leaving the design in the canvas. If you enlarge the above picture you will see some of the next section that is pulled. The notes on the pattern say to pull two sections at a time. Then using the Kreinik you fill it back in thereby saving the stress on the Kreinik and creating the pattern.

Have an opinion?
There's a Bob's Burgers episodes about it so it's officially too ridiculous for me
LOL IKR? How weird would it be to use the restroom while your toilet talks? Ewwww...
I'd take one for free. Might be kinda fun messing with on.
It is kind of funny really
Toilets in Japan = Wash you, dry you, heated seat so your ass does not get cold, flush for you, puts the toilet seat up and down for you, the toilet cleans itself so you don't have to, you can even adjust the strength of the water that gets squirted at your ass and much more.
Toilets in the rest of the world = Toilet paper
Sounds like the kind of man I need
That, and does everything else for me 😝
Yeah... thats too groos. Seriously didn't need to know that.
You should be sorry... Well, im outta here. Later.
Jarvis please eat my shit
I'm with this guy. I want the toilet to greet me like it's my butler. Then he can eat my shit.
@atomique @ClauseViter Well these toilets in Japan even have heated seats so your ass does not get cold and a feature that massages your ass.
Of course it's in Japan...
They must be ridiculously advanced over there, since they were able to work on upgrading their toilets.
They're probably already teleporting to and from work.
Well, can't say I blame them.
They got the brains, so might as well work on enhancing the life necessities
You lived in Japan? Or you just mean you love them because of their inventions?
I love their innovations but also my sister went to Japan and told me all this stuff when she got back. It sounds like an awesome country. If they ever have a problem with something they work out a solution to it. They even have the problem of some non smokers and smokers not liking each other sorted out I think.
I see what you mean. Yeah I wouldn't doubt that it's a completely different world over there.
But I've had heard that they (really Asians in general) are like weirdly socially disconnected. Like they, in a sense, won't be human with you.
I am not sure about that. I think in Japan smokers for example have their own smoking areas, these smoking areas are all over the city and they are equipped with everything a smoker needs you can buy cigarettes, have a place to smoke them in the area and then you have a butt bin to dispose of the butt when you are done. From what I understand these areas are all over the city.
You cannot undo this action. The opinion owner is going to be notified and earn 7 XPER points.

turbulence boundary condition in groovyBC.
how is it possible to use a variable with time boundary condition for turbulancy in groovyBC?
i want to apply a boundary condition for k and omega in kOmega turbulency model so that it varies between kqrwallfunction for wall and a fixedvalue for environment.how can i enter kqrwallfunction when the patch is wall?
How can i do it?
Any idea and thoght is appreciated and is thanked.
Please do the following: imagine you're another person and don't know what you want to do, then reread you posting and think what you (the you that wrote the posting) wanted to ask ... probably then you'll feel the urge to reformulate the question
hi.as i told it should be modeled a changing with time turbulent BC.
As it mentioned there is a patch that changes between a wall and inflow or outflow(like shock tube but left wall is rotating and have some ports in it to the outside environment)i want to use kOmegaSST model.for example for k value in this model there is a submodel for wall named kqRWallFunction.then as i want to use groovyBC i should write the formula of that manually in groovyBC.my question is this.how to write kOmegaSST formula in groovyBC?what are the formula i should use for instance how to write kqRWallFunction?can i write it directly in groovyBC?
I hope this is clear.thanks.
If you look at the implementation of kqRWallFunction it says in the comment "Boundary condition for turbulence k, Q, and R when using wall functions. Simply acts as a zero gradient condition." so by switching the fractionExpression to 0 and having the gradientExpression 0 as well should give you what you want
thanks.you mean in folders k,Q and R i should set them as zeroGradient when the patch is wall in fact.right?but I don't know what are k,Q and R and I haven't a folder named Q in my case.also I have deleted R folder because in parallel run an error has occured and referred to the R function and as I asked at another thread someone replied that I have no need in R folder in kOmegaSST model.please explain a little more.thanks.
thanks.for only knowing im curious about what can be q and r?is r refered to reynolds stress?
Then i should only set k to 0 in gradientExpression and value at inlet?
