tastes good!
- Familiarity: I've used it once or twice and have initial impressions
very similar in taste and texture to SIS Tropical flavor... more liquid than GU (still my favorite).. nice for variety.
Tastes like cough syrup
- Familiarity: I've used it once or twice and have initial impressions
- Fit: True to size
- Size Bought: fruit smoothie
I got the fruit smoothie after reading one of the previous reviews. I was excited to try it and when I ate one of the gels I thought that Honey Stinger used a cough syrup recipe to make the gel. FYI, fruit smoothie is horrible unless you like cough syrup.
They actually taste good
- Familiarity: I've put it through the wringer
Unlike many gels these are actually enjoyable to eat.
taste great, feel great
- Familiarity: I've put it through the wringer
these taste great and seem to do the trick energy wise
Great Gooey Gel
- Familiarity: I've put it through the wringer
The vanilla is my favorite! What I like about these are less viscous than PowerBar Gel's so they work better in colder climates.
Go to Gels
These are my go to gels, I'm celiac and these are certified gluten free. The vanilla and chocolate are my favorite flavors.
Works well
- Familiarity: I've put it through the wringer
These really do give you a boost of energy. Like, they actually work, it's crazy. I especially like the Kiwi-Strawberry because the flavor tastes great and it has a little bit of caffeine for an extra boost. I try to have a couple of these in my pack for longer rides to keep me going, Definitely worth it!
Good Taste
- Familiarity: I've put it through the wringer
Fruit smoothie tastes good and provides nice boost during a break on the trail.
Don't Stop
- Familiarity: I've put it through the wringer
- Fit: True to size
I don't like eating heavy food when out riding and doing cardio so the gels mixed with the chews are my favorite way to fuel up during a ride. The flavors are all easy to handle but the vanilla is my preferred flavor, not too sweet.
Honey stinger for the win.
- Familiarity: I've put it through the wringer
I am a fan of all Honey stinger products and the gels are no different. I love that are a honey based product. I do my best to eat healthy and fuel with healthy food which can be difficult on long rides or runs. Thankfully Honey stinger is offering a more natural based product that actually taste really good too. I have never had any stomach issues with honey stinger products either.
Mid Ride Boost!
These are perfect for that mid ride boost! Always usually carry one and like the mango flavor.
Taste Great
- Familiarity: I've put it through the wringer
I almost always carry one of these on a ride as backup energy. Really enjoy the fruit smoothie flavor. Work great for quick energy.
keep on keeping on
- Familiarity: I've put it through the wringer
Honey stingers are my go-to when I need a pick-me-up on the trail without wanting to stop for a picnic. They are easy to toss in my bag and have an my leisure, plus they taste great and since I'm not a huge bar person this is a much more enjoyable experience for me. Here's to getting a little gas in the tank and allowing me to charge a little harder for a little longer.
I make Rod Stewart jokes while ingesting
"Do you think Rod Stewart liked the flavor?"
People tell me it's an urban legend and not true. I don't care. It happened.
I can't look at a Gerbil without thinking about Richard Gere either.
The Acai wasn't too bad. Gel shots just suck when you take them and making a little joke helps the process of getting it down.
I'm a sucker for gels, these are my #1!
- Familiarity: I've put it through the wringer
I've always gone in for the convenience and efficiency of energy gels and they have certainly come a long way! In my opinion, Honey Stinger has put them over the top. I have yet to experience any stomach discomfort or ":::That's::: your idea of _insert flavor here_?!?!?" reactions with Honey Stinger gels.
As others have mentioned, the consistency is lighter in comparison to other gels which makes getting hem down less of an effort. The flavors are a big plus as well: no surprises with honey and the chocolate is remarkably like a chocolate you would actually choose and enjoy, rather than a soviet-issued chocolate-like concoction that you have no choice but to "enjoy".
The fueling aspects are predictable and reliable. Follow the instructions and drink plenty of water when consuming them (like any gel).
My un-solicited advice is to stick to the advised "every 45min", and follow the endurance training/racing mantra "eat before you're hungry, drink before you're thirsty!".
You should of course consult your Physician/coach/guru/mom when designing your training nutrition long before you listen to me though : )
The perfect re-fuel
- Familiarity: I've used it several times
The Honey Stinger Organic Energy Gels are great for providing sustainable energy on long runs or bike rides. The fruit smoothie flavor is a nice addition the the natural honey flavor- not too overwhelming so you can have several gels over a period of a few hours.
love the viscosity and flavor
- Familiarity: I've put it through the wringer
too many gus are too think or too runny, these are perfect and have great taste. Love the caffeine as well
Taste really good
- Familiarity: I've used it once or twice and have initial impressions
I normally don't like any of gel packs because they taste awful and leave a funny aftertaste. I picked one of these up in a few different flavors just because I was doing some extended hiking and wanted to save on weight so I could get the extra miles in with my compressed time schedule.
I was surprised at how good they tasted. It was like eating really good honey. No nasty fake flavor or aftertaste. I have already ordered more and will be keeping an eye out for when they go on sale to throw in my pocket while climbing multi-pitch routes.
all you need
- Familiarity: I've put it through the wringer
have you ever dreaded taking down a gel while on a ride?
well with these gels you dont have to dread having them, they taste soo good, and dont leave a nasty taste in you mouth. if you want quick energy that has a good taste, get these!
Energy Gels, amazing fast fuel!
- Familiarity: I've put it through the wringer
So many times we all eat bars and chews for a snack, but when you're actually burning at a super high pace, nothing has compared to Honey Stinger's products, especially Energy Gels.
Honey Stinger is a rad company that started from their beekeeper grandparents, who in the 50's, started the EN-R-G Bar and 2oz honey energy packets. The majority of their products are USDA Organic and have very simple natural ingredients.
The Energy Gels have been best used in my activities when I can't stop to eat something substantial. While on recent attempts to break a climbing speed record in Yosemite, it occurred to me how awesome it is to have a fast acting and easily digestible fuel source like the Energy Gels.
From my own personal experience, they are perfect for biking, swimming, climbing, running.. basically any and all high intensity activities/sports that require nonstop movement.
On my speed ascent I bring a small nalgene and one Gel with me, 1 hour into it while running down the decent trail I can squeeze in the fuel and can immediately feel the energy and power return, giving me the strength to keep it up 100%.
Both Strawberry Kiwi and Fruit Smoothie are very tasty and offer different benefits (S/K containing caffeine). They digest easy and don't require a gallon of water to wash down.. cough.. Clif Bar.
These are the only flavors of HS Energy Gels I've tried, while I also have two of every HS product including their Organic Honey, none disappoint!
You can eat these as a tasty snack, and you'll love'em! But bring them on your next adventure and see how well they keep you fueled and active!
Awesome picture Reed!!!

with the hardwood floor!
Hey! What're you kicking me for? You want me to ask? All right, I'll ask! Ma'am, where do the high school girls hang out in this town?
I'm loving the new look too.
The only suggestion I might have is can you make the PD logo with the wood background as well instead of the grey?
*edit* Wait are you seeing gray all over where it says "pacers (logo) digest" ? It's a transparent background in .png format. On my current Firefox and Internet Explorer browsers it looks correct. Which browser are you using, and what version?
Thanks for the kind words, fellas!
In IE 6.0, the top looks like this:
Take me out to the black, tell 'em I ain't coming back. Burn the land and boil the sea, you can't take the sky from me.
Try 7.0
If I can find a way to make it work for all, I will, but get with the times, people!
I'll be using Firefox at home, so no problems there. Interesting change to the board.
Take me out to the black, tell 'em I ain't coming back. Burn the land and boil the sea, you can't take the sky from me.
Well the short term situation is I'm sticking with the .png format for now. I'd use .gif which has a transparency that works with older browsers too, but the problem is that when I save the file it adds these white pixels all around the logo and in bits and pieces around the letters, which makes it ugly and distracting. If I can solve that, I'll go back to .gif .
Does it look better now? I just applied what is "supposed to" fix the problem in IE6.
yeah i was seeing the same thing as modesty earlier and now it seems to be working.
nice work
This is the darkest timeline.
sorry to be a debbie downer, but i liked the previous look more...it was less busy. but anyways, thanks mal for all the hard work!
Fixed. Awesome Mal!
I dislike this look. Hurts the eyes, I preferred the older look. But since it is free and amazing regardless I am good with whatever.
Yeah, I was actually more fond of the old look. But either way, it doesn't make a huge difference for me.
Who am I to say? I opened up the page today, and had a PM notification which caused the entire background to be white. I thought it looked real, real nice/clean. So my tastes are probably weird anyway.
The previous look is still available. *edit* Well, actually it's not the old look, but similar. The difference is it's a gradient background that starts blue and then fades to white. I'm working on updated a logo that fits right now. (Pacers Digest May 2007)
I've just added another alternate simply entitled, "Clean". All white background with a simple text "logo".
the hardwood floors is a good concept but the color scheme doesn't work well with the color of the posts...
thx for the option to go back
I like the hardwood background. I think the site looks better today than ever.
Thanks for the clean version. Much better for the brain
It needs tweaking, but I've added one that's all blue (background). Look for "May 2007 - Blue"

Former NSW detective Roger Rogerson allegedly told his wife that he only went into the Sydney storage unit where Jamie Gao was fatally shot to give some "fatherly advice".
When he emerged minutes later carrying the 20-year-old's body, he was helping his fellow ex-policeman Glen McNamara, who he thought had acted in self-defence, a court has heard.
The claims were aired on Monday as Rogerson made an unsuccessful bid for bail, which included a $1.5 million security, at Central Local Court.
Rogerson is charged with murder and drug supply.
In opposing his application, Crown prosecutor Chris Maxwell QC played CCTV footage to the court, which he said demonstrated how Rogerson was part of a synchronised operation with Glen McNamara to carry out the "execution-style murder" of Gao on May 20.
The end game was to steal 2.8 kilograms of the drug ice from the student, he said.
The crown says CCTV footage of that day shows McNamara entering the dark Padstow storage unit in Sydney's south-west with Gao before Rogerson goes in three to four minutes later.
Eventually the two emerge with Gao's body in a surfboard bag and load it into a station wagon.
A week later Gao's body was found bobbing about three kilometres off Cronulla beach and 2.8 kilograms of ice was discovered in the back footwell of McNamara's car, police allege.
After Rogerson's arrest for murder and commercial drug supply, the crown says the 73-year-old was recorded talking to his wife Anne from prison.
He allegedly told her he had only entered the storage unit to see "what was happening" and give a bit of "fatherly advice" to the former detective.
McNamara has also been charged with murder and commercial drug supply. With CCTV cameras at the site, Rogerson opined it was the "last place in the bloody world" you would commit a crime.
In heated submissions put to the court, Rogerson's barrister George Thomas said his client had only gone to the storage unit to offer help to McNamara who allegedly feared Gao was connected to an organised triad crime group.
Mr Thomas said the 73-year-old only helped McNamara to dispose of Gao's body because he thought McNamara had acted in self-defence.
There was nothing that tied his client to Gao's alleged murder or the drug haul, nor any evidence about who fired the fatal shot, he argued.
But Mr Maxwell said the explanation Rogerson gave to his wife didn't hold up.
Rogerson had the access code to the storage unit and had scouted out the premises about half an hour before Gao eventually arrived.
Once the killing occurred, Mr Maxwell said Rogerson drove his car to the storage unit and popped the boot, thereby shielding them when carrying out Gao's body.
Rogerson offered $1.5 million as security but Magistrate Les Mabbutt refused him bail, saying he posed an unacceptable risk of committing an offence or fleeing.
Outside court, Mr Thomas said Rogerson will make another bid for bail at the Supreme Court.

- Disclaimer
- How to Read a Study Record
Phase 1B: Open label (all patients receive PEGPH20+gemcitabine), dose escalation, safety and tolerability study to determine the safe dose of PEGPH20 to use in combination with gemcitabine in Stage IV previously untreated pancreatic cancer patients.
Phase 2: Randomized, double blind study to compare the effect of overall survival of gemcitabine plus PEGPH20 vs gemcitabine plus placebo in Stage IV previously untreated pancreatic cancer patients.
|Stage IV Pancreatic Cancer
|Drug: Gemcitabine Drug: PEGPH20+ gemcitabine
|Phase 1 Phase 2
|Study Type:
|Study Design:
|Allocation: Randomized
Intervention Model: Parallel Assignment
Masking: Double (Participant, Investigator)
Primary Purpose: Treatment
|Official Title:
|A Phase 1b/2 Multicenter, International, Randomized, Double Blind, Placebo-Controlled, Study of Gemcitabine Combined With PEGPH20 Compared to Gemcitabine Combined With Placebo in Patients With Stage IV Previously Untreated Pancreatic Cancer
- To determine the safe dose of PEGPH20 in combination with the approved dose of gemcitabine. [ Time Frame: 1 year ]The safety and tolerability profile of PEGPH20 used in combination with gemcitabine will be assessed.
- To compare the effect of overall survival between treatment groups. [ Time Frame: 2 years ]To compare the effect of overall survival of gemcitabine plus PEGPH20 vs gemcitabine plus placebo in Stage IV previously untreated pancreatic cancer patients.
- To characterize plasma PK of PEGPH20 when used in combination with gemcitabine [ Time Frame: Multiple visits and timepoints for the duration of the study ]Evaluation of plasma PK
- Assess the ORR by RECIST 1.1 criteria [ Time Frame: 1 year ]
- Assess PEGPH20 PD activities including HA catabolites in serum and urine, HA staining changes in tumor biopsies, as well as PEGPH20 effect on vascular perfusion and metabolic activities of the tumor using DCE MRI and FDG PET [ Time Frame: 1 year ]
- Explore the PEGPH20 effect on CA19-9 changes in relation to: 1. Intensity of tumor-associated HA staining 2. DCE-MRI perfusion, and/or 3. FDG-PEG/CT perfusion, anatomic data and metabolic activity [ Time Frame: 1 year ]
|Study Start Date:
|September 2011
|Study Completion Date:
|May 2015
|Primary Completion Date:
|February 2014 (Final data collection date for primary outcome measure)
|Assigned Interventions
Active Comparator: Gemcitabine
Gemcitabine + Placebo
Drug: Gemcitabine
1000 mg/m2 given IV one time a week (Cycle 1: 7 weeks on treatment, 1 week off treatment; Cycle 2+: 3 Weeks on treatment, 1 week off treatment)
Other Name: Gemzar
Experimental: PEGPH20
Drug: PEGPH20+ gemcitabine
(Cycle 1: 7 weeks on treatment/1 week off treatment; Cycle 2+: 3 Weeks on treatment/1 week off treatment). Doses start at 1.0 mcg/kg and modified until recommended Phase 2 dose is determined. Gemcitabine given at 1000mg/m2. Treatment continues until occurrence of significant treatment-related toxicity, progressive disease, or discontinuation criteria are met
Other Name: PEGylated Recombinant Human Hyaluronidase
Detailed Description:
PEGPH20 is a PEGylated version of human recombinant PH20 hyaluronidase that, in preclinical studies, has been shown to remove HA from the extracellular matrix surrounding tumor cells by depolymerizing this substrate. 87% of pancreatic ductal adenocarcinomas (PDA) overexpress HA. PDA tumor tissue may be especially sensitive to the HA-degradation properties of PEGPH20 and thus more responsive to the cytotoxic effects of a given dose of gemcitabine. Modifying the extracellular environment to increase the penetration and efficacy of anti-cancer agents represents a novel approach to treating pancreatic cancer and may provide important therapeutic outcomes in patients with Stage IV Previously Untreated Pancreatic Cancer.
This Phase 1B/2 study will assess safety, tolerability, treatment effect, and various PK/PD endpoints.

How I Wish It Was 1980 Again! Maybe Not For The Shoulder Pads, Ripped Sweatshirts And Big Hair, But Definately For The Gas Prices!
The year was 1980. Women were expressing themselves by big, curly and heavily styled hairstyles and make-up that was bright and heavy. Shoulder pads, sequins and ripped sweatshirts were must-haves in the fashion world. Men were supporting mustaches, thanks to the popularity of Magnum, P.I. and cutting their hair to more of a shoulder-length style. Gone were the long, flowing locks from the 70's!
Popular TV shows included 'Bosom Buddies', That's Incredible!', 'Galactica 1980' and 'Barbara Mandrell and the Mandrell Sisters'. Turn on the radio and you could hear Kenny Rogers singing 'Coward Of The County', Willie Nelson's 'My Heroes Have Always Been Cowboys', and 'Lookin' For Love' from Johnny Lee.
It was also on March 31, 1980, that the average price of a gallon of regular unleaded gasoline first reached the $1.00 mark in the United States. The average price that year was $1.19 per gallon.
Granted, 1980 gasoline prices will probably never happen again. But the good news is that today's trends are showing that prices of gasoline are falling. Again….for today anyway. The average gas price in South Dakota for March 31, 2014 is $3.48. Nationally, the average is $3.54. One week ago, South Dakota's gas prices were averaging $3.53 and one year ago, the South Dakota average gas price was $3.54. Here's where you can find the lowest and highest gas prices in South Dakota.
I guess I could go back to wearing my 'Flashdance' sweatshirt and tease my hair just so I could fill my car's tiny tank for under $15!

Is there a way to get a report which fill in automatically, PASS / FAIL / NOT TESTED YET ? (want to add NOT TESTED YET function)
Are you willing to log the results on the fly?
I need to know if my card has been tested or not.
If not ; Write NOT TESTED YET
If yes ; Write the test result (PASS/FAIL)
Is it possible to add a "not tested yet" state to the report generation ? And How ?
I don' t know if i want to log the results on the fly because i even don't know how to log results on the fly with Test Stand.
If you want to set on the fly reporting, there's a check box in the report options (in the configure section)
Regarding your report generation, I'm not sure what would be the best way, I might start something from scratch because it seems like you'll need to check some serial numbers in a database or something.
I set on the fly reporting but i didn't find any change on my report generation. What changes should be done ?
The report generation i attached in a previous post is far away the application needed.
I'll check from an XLS file (reporting cabinet hardware configuration) some serial number. Attached to those serial numbers the report has to show if the test goes right, wrong or not tested yet.
From this XLS file, the test sequences should generate automatically.
Someone could provide an example with 3 LV buttons/indicators which are tested ?
The report generation should say right the button has been hitten and the light is on, wrong the button has been hitten but the light is off, the button has not been tested yet.
An easy example like this should help me to understand better how report generation in Test Stand is done.
Thank you for your support.
Hi all,
I know my question is not easy but I really need your support there.
Thank you in advance for the brave of you who will answer !
People are probably hesitant to help you because it is unclear what you are asking for. Reports are not generated for code that hasn't executed. So if someone has not tested a unit then there won't be a report for it.
Is it the case that you could have 3 units and based on some deterministic code only 2 of them would be tested and the third left out for some reason? If so then what generally happens is the report shows that unit as skipped.
Hello Jigg,
I know what I am asking is not easy. I just want to figure out if that kind of running is possible or not.
So i have I/O to test. For instance, one card, i have 12 measurements to do. If 24V is here, pass test to true. If not it is wrong. If i forget to test one of my card i want to advise operator that he skipped one test. That's the reason why i thought about a report generation using TRUE/WRONG/NOT TESTED YET states.
That issue is there only to be sure we are not forgetting to test one or severals cards into the cabinet.
Is that clearer ?
You are saying reports are not generated for code hasn't executed.
But ;
I gonna get back my hardware configuration from an excel file. From my Excel file i gonna know how many cards and what kind of cards are there into my cabinet. Those informations will be used to generate testsequences automatically sending the card location to the operator in order to do the test.
So it is important that each cards have been tested once and that report indicates if there are cards which have not been tested yet.
Do you have an idea to do so ?
Can't we set a default value (Not tested yet) to the entire report generation (thanks to a model created from Excel file)
Like this if the card has not been tested the default value will last.
I am not familiar to TestStand activities. I apologize for my lack of knowledge and to make my explanations not as clear as I wish.
It is possible to do what you want but it doesn't make sense to do it that way. In other words- I feel you are going about this the wrong way. Just don't generate a report until they have tested all the cards.
In your code you should handle whether or not a card has been tested. Not on the report.
You mentioned an Excel document. Is that your report? Or is that a file which you use (or the tester uses) to determine which ones are tested or not? If so where is this document being generated from? Whatever generates that document should be writing NOT TESTED as the default.

Because imports account for a sizable portion of our nation's fruit and vegetable supply the Food and Drug Administration's newly released draft rules under the Food Safety Modernization Act promise to have an enormous effect on the safety of fresh produce.
The new proposed rules, released in late July, address foreign supplier verification and accreditation of third-party auditors, both of which are critical elements of our nation's produce safety system.
With the release of the draft rule for imported foods, we have become increasingly concerned about FDA's exemption for small farms.
United Fresh supports adherence to common food safety standards by all produce suppliers to help ensure a consistently high food safety standard for all fresh produce sold to U.S. consumers.
That precept about consistent standards is why we've objected to the exemption for small farms in the proposed rules. The FDA's draft Produce Safety Rule would not cover farms that have an average annual value of food sold during the previous three-year period of $25,000 or less.
This small-farm exemption amounts to a loophole in the proposed regulatory framework of our food safety law — not just for farms in the U.S., but for the farms in other countries that export to our market.
On a global scale, especially with small farms being significantly more prevalent in other production regions, that's a substantial portion of imported fresh produce that will be exempted from the regulation.
It's a gap in FSMA's effectiveness for domestic production. It's an enormous breach of the FSMA standards for imported foods.
Like I've said before at industry conferences and in dialogue with FDA officials, pathogens don't know what size operation they're on.
Equal rules
Back in 2007, when the United Fresh board of directors advocated to the FDA for mandatory, risk-based, commodity-specific produce safety standards, the vision was to adopt standards that were applicable to all produce, grown domestically or imported.
That fundamental principle was what we advocated to Congress in support of the Food Safety Modernization Act.
Add to this the logistical challenge of ensuring the verification of third-party auditors around the world.
According to the draft rule, "a foreign government, agency of a foreign government, foreign cooperative, or any other third party may seek accreditation from a recognized accreditation body (or, where direct accreditation is appropriate, the FDA) to conduct food safety audits and to issue food and facility certifications."
Accreditation of third-party auditors is critical to upholding consistent food safety standards for U.S. produce consumers, and it's equally important for domestic fruit and vegetable production and production in all the countries that export to the U.S. market.
That's a huge, complicated objective that could potentially involve numerous audit entities in multiple regions, so we've got to work with the FDA and industry partners to help ensure that the audit process is as efficient as possible.
Just as we've done with the FDA's earlier rule proposals on produce safety and preventive controls, United Fresh is conducting a deliberative education and review process for the draft rules on imported foods and third-party auditor accreditation.
In the near future, United plans to host Web seminars on each of the proposed rules with FDA.
You'll have a chance to go to the FDA offices and talk face to face with FDA staff during United's Washington Public Policy Conference, Sept. 30 to Oct. 2.
Now that we finally have four proposed rules to consider, it will be an excellent opportunity to hear what FDA has been hearing about all four proposed rules and to share your comments with FDA.

Well if you have $10 and the urge to annoy people or know someone annoying who would like to be more annoying the ThinkGeek Annoy-a-tron would be a good gift. How long before we see circuit bent Annoy-a-tron orchestras? Please no.
"The Original ThinkGeek Annoy-a-tron would be useless against an army of Snowbots, but it's very effective at disturbing that guy in the sales department or your "friend" down the hall. With its thin design and embedded magnet for easy hiding, the Annoy-a-tron can be placed in a variety of locations. Select one of the three sound choices (2 kHz, 12 kHz, or alternating) and push the switch to the on position. Place it in a proper hiding spot and let the "fun" begin. The Annoy-a-tron generates a short (but very annoying, hence the name) beep every few minutes. Your unsuspecting target will have a hard time 'timing' the location of the sound because the beeps will vary in intervals ranging from 2 to 8 minutes. The 2kHz sound is generically annoying enough, but if you really really want to aggravate somebody, select the 12 kHz sound. Trust us. The higher frequency and slight 'electronic noise' built into that soundbyte will make a full-grown Admin wonder where his packets are." – thinkgeek.com

Jan '12 - Aug '13
or at least it was last week. Was it? What day is it? Where did I get this #11 x-acto?
That isn't too dark is it? I'm just a little disoriented. We are ramping up the efforts for our midterm review. Hyperanalyzing the site. Scrutinizing envelopes and program requirements. Crafting experiences. Designing for users (little ones, at that)... and regular sized ones.
Things overheard during critiques:
Making poetry is hard.
/delusional reflections
insert mediocre drawings from project thus far/
In a constant effort to distract myself from studio I did this:
Hand sketch, scanned, digitized, vectorized, lasered. It's a birthday present for a great friend at Univesity of Minnesota. He's a art student so I can pretty much guarantee he'll never see this.
Midterm is Monday. Hear from me after that.
I should go back to drawing/x-actoing tiny little louver details...
Are you sure you want to block this user and hide all related comments throughout the site?

Treat this as an imaginative game to see how much does Buddhism matters to you.
The person you love most is ailing and close to dying. In the mist of such sorrow while walking into a crossroad, Mara appeared and offers to help.
"The illness can be removed and health perfectly restore… in exchange for all your dhammic faith, insights and attainment" promised the Evil One.
The contract also makes sure the client will be bared from practicing any Buddhist teaching for another 666weeks.
For those who had practiced the 8fp for more than 20 years or have more than 10,000 posts in DW will have a 20% rebate of their insights when the contract expired, consider if the client is still alive.
Since you bloody Buddhists don't believe in soul, the devil wants the raft.
How selfless can you be to trade it for the sake of others?

This purports to be for standard or slimline jewel cases. The back insert is not properly designed or perforated such that one of the spine labels is missing. This label is useless for the purpose it's designed for. Go find the Memorex CD Jewel Case Inserts... they're perfectly laid out and perforated AND they're made from much better paper for printing on an inkjet printer. The Avery 8693 is junk.

The Nissan Altima was the No. 2 selling sedan among all nameplates last year. Over its 20-year lifespan, some four million have been sold, making it Nissan's best-seller. Built primarily in Tennessee, the Altima enters its fifth generation with a completely new design.
Sit still in the car business and people will beat a path not to your door, but right past it. Car companies are launching lots of new models, and Nissan is no exception. The Tennessee-based company plans four new upcoming models in addition to the Altima. The just-launched Pathfinder and Sentra, as well as a hatchback and a crossover to be named later, are in the pipeline.
The Altima competes in the midsize sedan category, which is arguably the most hotly-contested group in the auto industry. It is available in seven models: 2.5, 2.5 S, 2.5 SV, 2.5 SL, 3.5 S, 3.5 SV and 3.5SL.
If mileage is one of the top reasons people choose a vehicle, the 2013 Altima 2.5 has the advantage with its estimated 38 miles per gallon on the highway and 27 mpg in the city. And if you use that estimate and do the math with the Altima's 18-gallon fuel tank, you get an astounding range of more than 600 miles on a tank of regular unleaded gas. If price is one of the top reasons people choose a vehicle, the 2013 Altima with the 2.5-liter 4-cylinder costs $21,500, or about $200 less than the 2012 model. Our test vehicle, the 3.5-liter 6-cylinder in the SV trim, starts at $27,780.
Both Altima engines are mated to continuously variable automatic transmissions. The 2.5-liter engine develops 182 horsepower and 180 lb.-ft. of torque, while the 3.5-liter V-6 bumps the horsepower to 270 and the torque to 251. Mileage estimates for the 3.5-liter engine are 22 mpg in the city and 31 mpg on the highway.
The Altima gets a number of new technologies for 2013, including a standard advanced drive assist display that puts key information on instant mileage, the audio system, a trip computer and turn-by-turn navigation in a 4-inch display right in front of the steering wheel.
Tire pressure monitoring is also displayed, but Nissan takes the mandatory monitoring to the next level with its Easy Fill Tire Alert function. When the driver starts filling a tire, the hazard lamps flash to let the driver know the system is functioning. When the tire reaches the correct pressure, the horn beeps to let the tire-filler know to stop. It's a neat feature that eliminates the need for fumbling around for a tire pressure gauge.
The Altima also has hands-free phone and streaming audio via Bluetooth, a new blind-spot monitor and lane departure warning system that works off the rearview camera, available remote starting, and smartphone integration via the Nissan Connect system.
Inside the cabin, Nissan engineers used NASA research to develop the front bucket seats. Nissan says the "zero gravity" seats deliver a proven increase in blood flow, decreased muscular load and lower fatigue.
On the road, the Altima with the larger engine delivers great performance and surefootedness, along with a comfortable ride. It has an overall length of 191.5 inches, and overall width of 72 inches, an overall height of 58.1 inches and a turning diameter of 37.4 feet.
The 2013 Altima has not yet been safety tested by the Insurance Institute for Highway Safety, but has sophisticated safety technology that includes the warning systems for blind spots and lane departure, as well as a moving object detection system that warns the driver when anything is moving behind the car. All three systems work off the rearview camera, which is less costly than other radar-based systems.
With its new technology and features, great mileage and attractive pricing, the 2013 Nissan Altima presents strong value in the highly competitive midsize sedan segment.

- Engine: 3.5-liter V-6
- Transmission: CVT
- Horsepower; 270
- Base price: $27,780
- As tested price: $29,335

Dear Breezi User,
There are many reasons why you may decide to rewrite an entire platform that you spent 2 years building.
For us, it was speed. Specifically, it was concurrency and latency.
Concurrency, in our case, was when many users saved changes at the same time, and we were unable to anticipate a huge spike in usage at random instances.
Latency was users from all around the world trying to save changes and experiencing slight delays because of the networks that their requests must travel through.
The new release addresses both of these issues.
Our users love Breezi because they can customize. A lot.
So now each tinker will be so much faster than before.
Nitrogen is the name of our new Breezi version, and the basic concept behind it is very simple: Save locally, and let the user send changes to the server when you can.
That means that every change you make is first saved locally to your computer, and we then sync your changes with the server every so often.
This allows you to work on your site without experiencing any lags.
Pretty simple idea. Pretty big undertaking.
Breezi had to be completely rewritten from scratch to be able to work like this. For the last 8 months our entire engineering effort has focused on this new version of Breezi.
We really hope that you'll enjoy this release.

Rita Ora came from nowhere to release three No 1 singles and a chart-topping debut album in 2012, and now she has two BRIT nominations to her name and is about to begin her first UK tour. The rising star tells Andy Welch how she's been "pinching herself" over her meteoric rise.
By Andy Welch
At the tail end of 2011, Rita Ora appeared in the video for Hot Right Now with DJ Fresh.
Before that, she'd only really been seen in a handful of online videos, but by the time of the song's official release in February last year - it went straight to No 1 and ended up selling more than 480,000 copies - she was one of the most talked-about singers in the country.
As an introduction, it clearly worked, and Ora's subsequent two singles, RIP with Tinie Tempah and How We Do followed Hot Right Now to No 1.
Meanwhile, her debut album Ora topped the chart, finishing the year with sales of around 240,000.
"That's definitely the most surreal thing that's happened to me," says the 22-year-old Londoner, on the morning of the Brit nominations. "The success of the singles, and the tour selling out within minutes of the tickets going on sale as well - all of last year was crazy."
Ora is getting used to "surreal". She was signed by Jay-Z's management company and record label Roc Nation in New York after Mr Beyonce himself called to request a meeting.
At the time she was at college studying for her A-levels and working in a trainer shop on Portobello Road in west London in order to pay musicians to play with her at gigs in the evening.
"I'd play anywhere - bars and clubs, in my dad's pub, just to be out singing," she says. "I guess Roc Nation heard about me just through people they know in the industry, called me up and asked for a meeting.
"It was a real pinch-yourself moment, and the meeting we had when I met Jay-Z was just unbelievable. It was so nerve-wracking, interesting, exciting and weird all at the same time. You know when you can feel someone's power? It was like that, you could just tell when you walked in the room that he was powerful and successful.
"It was so odd. I walked in, shook his hand and then we were suddenly having a conversation. Now it feels like we've known each other a long time. I get lots of advice from him. He's not just a great friend, but a boss and a brother. He's the man."
That is a rather simplified version of events, of course. Multi-million-selling artists and business moguls like Jay-Z don't just call 18-year-old singers in London on the off chance. Ora has pursued a career in showbiz from a young age and went to the prestigious Sylvia Young Theatre School in London.
"I loved the school," she says. "My choir teacher at primary school told me about the school. The audition was massively exciting, and I'm really proud of the fact I got in and went. I really didn't think I'd be good enough, but then the only thing I was ever interested in was singing. Ever since I was really little, like six or something, it's all I've wanted to do."
The transition from theatre school to a professional life as a performer was difficult, she admits, and there were a few bumps along the way.
"There are so many people leaving there each year as brilliant performers, plus all the other schools putting out the same amount of quality. I didn't want to go to another performing arts college after I'd done my GCSEs, although most of my friends did. I just went to a regular college and carried on writing my songs. I followed my gut, really.
"The first time I thought I might make it was when I was 14, when I was signed to a production company. That didn't work out. A year later, I was signed to a management company, but that didn't really work out either. There were a lot of promises, but nothing came of them. The important thing is you believe that it's going to happen eventually, and that keeps you going despite rejections and other things coming to nothing."
I catch up with Ora later that day at the launch for the Brit Award nominations, where it's revealed she's up for two awards: Best Breakthrough and Best Single, in which she has two songs on the shortlist.
"I went to the Brits last year and no one even noticed I was there, no one took a photograph or anything, and a year later I'm up for some awards," she says, while dodging the other journalists on the red carpet. Stories about her private life appeared in the papers that morning and she doesn't feel like talking to anyone.
"I don't think about it," she says of the non-music-related stories which generally concern her split with ex-boyfriend Rob Kardashian and rumours of romances with other people.
"It's not a distraction, and it doesn't faze me," she adds. "I have great people around me and I know the truth. The only time I have to take things into consideration is when my family are upset by something that's written. If they're hurt, then I'll take it seriously."
Ora was born in Pristina in the former Yugoslavia, now Kosovo, and moved to the UK with her Kosovar-Albanian parents when she was aged one, during the brutal conflict in the region.
She says the people of Kosovo have been hugely supportive of her, and she's "so proud" of her birth nation.
Family clearly matters. She took them to Dubai for Christmas and New Year, and when she had a well-publicised wardrobe malfunction on stage which left one of her breasts exposed, the first and only person she had to call was her mother, to apologise and promise it would never happen again.
Immediately after her UK tour, which Ora's currently rehearsing for, she has dates in Australia, and then mainland Europe. Between now and the summer she'll record her second album, and hopes to have it released by the end of the year.
"My first album was finished when I was 19, and I'm 22 now, so I have a lot more I want to talk about and say," she adds.
Ora's self-titled debut featured production from the likes of Major Lazer, will.i.am, The-Dream, Stargate and Diplo, but she promises the second album will see fewer writers contributing more.
"I'm very excited about some of the people lined up, I can't wait to work with them. But obviously I can't say who they are yet. Pop music's very secretive."

Scott seven shots from US PGA lead in LA
Adam Scott will attempt to go back to the future as he pushes for victory in the final round of the US PGA event at Riviera Country Club.
Scott fired a one-under-par 70 in the third round to move to five-under-par for the tournament and a tie for 11th, a distant seven shots adrift of defending champion American Bill Haas who leads by three.
Haas blitzed the field on moving day with a seven-under 64 to sit at 12-under, three clear of fellow American John Merrick (70), current US Open champion Webb Simpson (68) and 2011 Masters champion Charl Schwartzel (68).
World No.3 Luke Donald (70) and overnight co-leader Fredrick Jacobson (72) share fifth at eight-under.
Scott was left to rue a wobbly driving performance, hitting just four of 14 fairways to be ranked equal second-last in that category in the field.
At his best Scott is one of the longer, more accurate drivers on tour but the Queenslander saw a silver lining in his scrambling performance.
The 32-year-old worked extensively on his short game over the off-season and it is seemingly paying off - being ranked sixth in the field for scrambling on moving day.
"I wish I could have been one or two shots better," Scott said.
"It wasn't pretty today.
"I was still trying to find my rhythm off the tee. I'm just not playing how I was off the tee last year but I guess that's all right as I am fiddling around with a few things and trying ... to not be afraid to hit a bad one here and there.
"And it's been good as the short game work has paid off in that sense.
"But off the tee... I'd like tomorrow to have it all tightened up."
Scott wasn't giving up hope of a run towards victory, pointing to 2006 when he finished runner-up to Rory Sabbatini, the year after he won this tournament.
He started nine shots off the lead on that occasion and ended up second by just a shot after a 64 in the final round.
"The last three holes today I felt like I finally found a result with my swing," he said.
"You can put up a number up here tomorrow and make a move.
"I was warming up for a playoff at one point in 2006 so absolutely feel I'm still in this.
"It's that kind of course where it is hard to go super low so if you do you can make big moves and it's also hard to play in the lead here as you can't be too aggressive because it's easy to drop shots."
Greg Chalmers (73) was the next best Australian in a tie for 22nd at two-under while Marc Leishman posted a nice 68 to get to one-under-par in a tie for 35th and Stuart Appleby (71) is tied 45th at even-par.

Former Malmesbury mayor Steve Cox is launching his long-awaited Athelstan's Army project this week.
The scheme, which is aimed at elderly people in Malmesbury and the surrounding area, has taken Coun Cox since last year to put together.
He said: "I'm trying to start a campaign to get volunteers to visit an isolated, lonely person once a week.
"I want to get people to identify people who are on their own.
"There are people who in their lives have done a lot for the community and people who are lonely.
"There are two prongs to the project – a regular drop-in club on Friday mornings at the town hall from 10am to noon, and volunteers to visit isolated people.
"In the community, lots of elderly people are isolated. They could be isolated by circumstances or it could just be one of those things."
The drop-in club launch will be held tomorrow in the town hall from 10am.
Coun Cox, who was the Mayor of Malmesbury until May last year, said: "I raised the money as mayor and had help from Age UK.
"They gave a worker for free for six months to help set up and with paperwork.
"There will be activities, for example on Friday we're going to show a film made in 2012 with older people talking about Malmesbury.
"We're hoping to have activities like games and people giving advice about benefits and health and fitness.
"We've had a survey of things for older people in Malmesbury and the villages, and there's something on every day of the week.
"We're hoping to publish a booklet of them."

Ausmus continues to size up bullpen options
JUPITER, Fla. -- The Tigers received another solid inning of relief from Ian Krol on Sunday. The club sent a procession of lefty relievers to the mound on Monday against the Cardinals with solid results, from Blaine Hardy to Casey Crosby and then Kyle Lobstein. They'll have Phil Coke on schedule to pitch back in Lakeland on Tuesday against the Blue Jays.
However, manager Brad Ausmus cautioned on Monday that he's not married to the idea of a two-lefty bullpen.
"I do think it helps. I think it's a benefit," Ausmus said. "But you have to put your best team and your best bullpen in the stadium when the season starts."
Crosby, who missed the early Spring Training action with tendinitis in his forearm, made his spring debut with two-thirds of an inning on Monday, walking one and striking out one. His fastball ranged from 89 to 91 mph on the ballpark radar gun, while he mixed his curveball with a changeup that has improved from last year.
"I felt comfortable," Crosby said. "It was good to get back out there finally. Obviously, I kind of joined the party late, but it feels good out there."
The fact that Crosby is competing as a reliever now, rather than a starter like he was in past springs, gives him a better chance of catching up to his counterparts. It's not a major adjustment for him.
"I feel a lot more comfortable doing the short-inning stuff," Crosby said, "not really thinking, more just going. Just go pitch and let it go. That's what I'm most comfortable doing, I feel like."

The biotech executives will discuss the current state of bioscience in the UK, the BIA's Citizens' Innovation Funds proposal and the progress with the government's Strategy for UK Life Sciences as well as hold focussed meetings to discuss the UK tax regime and the future of manufacturing.
These meetings are part of the BIA's thirteenth annual Parliament Day which provides an opportunity for policymakers to gain feedback from senior figures involved in running innovative UK businesses on current policy and to discuss the measures that the sector believes are necessary to build a globally competitive industry.
Steve Bates, BIA Chief Executive Officer, said:
"Today's meetings in Westminster and Whitehall provide a chance for Chief Executives and leading industry figures from both large and small bioscience companies to meet with key policymakers and discuss the sector and its contribution to UK jobs and growth as well as improved patient outcomes.
"The UK medical biotech sector is growing and turnover increased 5% to almost £4bn and had almost 26,000 employees last year.
"The Biomedical Catalyst, changes to R&D tax credits and the Patent Box have been well received and are leveraging additional private finance helping biotech companies grow faster.
"We will continue to promote our Citizens' Innovation Funds proposal which we believe would unlock the patriotic potential of the British public to support innovative businesses, such as those in the life sciences."
The BIA is pleased to note that one of its member companies, PolyTherics, is expanding its operations at the London Bioscience Innovation Centre (LBIC) in response to rapidly increasing interest in its technologies.
Steve Bates said:
"PolyTherics' decision to double its space in London demonstrates the vibrancy of the UK scene; as the Investors Chronicle said this week - Biotech is back."

Refining selections and creating masks are unglamorous but utterly essential Photoshop techniques—you've got to master both in order to perform tricky compositing tasks, such as extracting a person from an image and then adding a different background.
In Photoshop CS5, the Refine Edge command makes the process less tedious. In today's installment of Photoshop CS5 Top 5, Deke McClelland shows it in action. Watch as Deke uses Refine Edge and its cousin, Refine Mask, to create a finely crafted mask that encompasses every strand of a model's hair.

Did this for Rockyraccoon, a confederate flag on a 176g ESP Meteor. Disc was originally a misprint:
The stamp is quite deep. Actually, BOTH stamps are deep in spots. I was afraid this dye would bleed through the stamp seams no matter how much pressure I put on the vinyl, so I used my spin dye mix to paint over the mask. Turned out great, with the exception of a few small bleeds on the underneath rim(all from the seam bead on the Meteor mold). The design covers the entire top of the disc, and the mask is very clean. Should look even sweeter flying through the Smokey mountain air!

Thigpen staying in contact with Cooper
SEATTLE -- Even when White Sox pitching coach Don Cooper was healthy and with the team, bullpen coach Bobby Thigpen was an integral part in all the pitchers-and-catchers meetings. The biggest change for Thigpen during Cooper's absence due to vertigo, an absence which reached 15 games Friday, is that he's now the voice of the staff.
"It's the same material that we go over. It's really the only thing," said Thigpen, referring to him doing the talking instead of Cooper. "Like last year, the only difference is his voice isn't here. His constant bantering is what everyone misses. They miss him in the dugout. I miss being in the bullpen. We have to make the adjustments and do what we have to do."
Thigpen readily admitted that Cooper is better at the talking part, with Thigpen focusing more on individual instruction. But as long as the information is given, the staff simply has to go out and execute better.
White Sox manager Robin Ventura talked to Cooper on Thursday and said that he's feeling better. But Cooper still won't travel for the two-game set in San Francisco.
"He's frustrated, obviously. He wants to be here. He started feeling better in the homestand but he came out and then he would just fade as he was there," said Thigpen of Cooper, who missed 10 games last year due to diverticulitis. "He came Monday, but he was only there for an hour and a half or two hours. He looked worse that day than he had the previous day.
"This has got to be frustrating for him. It's an unknown thing for him. The other thing you know what it was and they could take care of it. This is a wait and see. They are doing different things as far as a rehab stuff. Hopefully he's feeling better by the time we get back. The poor guy. He's trapped in his walls. He wants to get out. That's why he came to the park when we were back there. Hopefully it won't last too long."

New Whitchurch United boss Carl Bennett has been busy building his squad for the new Wessex League Premier Division season and with the first league game now known as well as all the various cup draws the tempo will now start to rise.
Frustratingly the FA Cup extra-preliminary round draw has once again pitted the Jam Boys with Bristol-based Western League Premier Division side Hallen, who beat them in both the FA Cup after a replay and the FA Vase last season.
Bennett said of the draw: "We must prepare properly as this is a big game and we will not take it lightly as there is money involved plus the chance to pit ourselves against a Southern League side in the next round."
Whitchurch will go to Swindon Supermarine in the preliminary round if they get past Hallen while in the FA Vase they have been drawn away to another North Bristol Western League side, Almondsbury UWE.
Yet another Western League team awaits the winners as Chippenham Park FC have home advantage in the second qualifying round.
Almondsbury UWE have no connection with the ex-Southern League Almondsbury Town, who as Almondsbury Greenway got to the Vase final in 1979, losing to Billericay while Chippenham Park came from the Wiltshire League and play at Hardenhuish, home of Chippenham Town.
Whitchurch's luck was better in the Hampshire Senior Cup as they are home to Combined Counties League Alton Town in the first round on September 2 with the prospect of a juicy derby at the Portway Stadium against Andover Town in the second round on Sept 16.
It all kicks off on August 2 as the side begin their league campaign at Fareham Town.
Bennett's squad was further increased this week as former Southampton Academy keeper Brad Snelling signed.
The 20 year old is also a useful outfield player and Bennett describes him as 'one of the best three keepers in the league.' Also on board is defender Josh Green, who was at Romsey Town last year having been at Eastleigh while Elliott Parker is another defender who has returned to the area from university in Plymouth and 'looks sharp in training.' Tom Lockyer, Shane Lock and Scott Hassell are all back for another season while 21-year old midfielder Jack Garner and ex-Sholing striker Ryan Lambert are also on board.
On the minus side last year's skipper Ali Brown has joined Hartley Wintney.
United's friendlies begin tomorrow at Hampshire League Otterbourne, who beat Andover Town in the Andover Open Cup Final in May before a game with Hamble Club next Tuesday night at 6.30pm.
Saturday July 19 sees the squad at Hampshire League Division One Lyndhurst and the only other game pencilled in so far is on July 29 at home to Western League Gillingham Town.
Bennett is looking for away fixtures on Tuesday 22 and Saturday 26 July to complete the preparations.

is it possible for someone to take the video of Avery throwing that is taken in slow motion and from a top perspective and break it into actual individual frames?
if we could lay out each frame sequentially (vertically in the post) and write the explanation of what is happening, why it is happening and when it is happening...i.e. the conceptual ideas Leopard, JHern, JR and the others are trying to convey it might be easier to understand
plus rather than a hand drawn diagram that has it's limits we can actually see and understand the process in relation to a Pro's throw
e.g. a frame of Avery with the disc at the right pec but with an explanation of what happened to get it there and what happens next and the timing of same
it could be done from reach back to follow through...probably quite a few frames mind you
hopefully I am being clear
EDIT: the explanation of the mechanics and concepts would be next to each frame so we get the explanation and picture in a vertical sequence
