Tho man drove him into the house,

after potatoes.

as he took up tho basket, 'but my good

Ho knew that the grocer favored the

and 'Hamlet' had to come down from

mother as he returned.
'Thy grave shall be dug in the cy

Whon his father came home at noon
Mrs. Gurley told him that she believed
the boy was going crazy and related
what had occurred
'I see what ails him,' mused the fath
er; 'this explains why he hangs around
Johnson's burn 60 much.'
At the dinner table young Gurley
spoke of his father as tho 'illustrious

if be would have some butter gravy ho
answered :
'The appetite of a warrior cannot bo

When tho meal was ovor his father

a sprout, and tho boy was askedjjto step
into the woodshed and seo if the pen

old man there and he said.
'Why, most noblo, lord I supposed
thee far away.'
'I'm not so far away but what I'm
going to make you skip,' growled the
father. 'I'll show you how to fool
around with ten cent tragedies ! Gome

For about ten minutes tho woodshed
was full of dancing foot, flying arms
and moving bodies, and then tho old
man took-a rest and inquired.

What do you guys do when you get yelled at while riding?
Yesterday was the first time a driver honked at me and started yelling but i couldnt tell what he was saying.
I was riding through a gas station parking lot to exit onto the main road. Anyways, I beat him to the road by about 2 car lengths as he was leaving also. Apparently he didn't like me being in front of him and honked, then yelled something. This wasn't a near accident or anything where either of us had to brake hard. But it did surprised me he was being a jerk when it only took me 5 seconds to be gone and out of the way. I just ignored him and never looked his way and kept on riding. What do you guys do in these situations? I thought about giving a dirty look like "whats your problem" but Im not gonna give someone a road rage motive while im on a bicycle.
Haters gonna hate. You did the right thing.
Smile and wave - drives 'em nuts -
I stop right in their way and ask them what's the matter.
They're in a hurry so I slow 'em up.
I will give you one point. I am so used to a motorist potentially honking at me, that it doesn't phase me. The only time it bothers me extremely, is not when it would amount to intimidation on the part of the motorist. But that, they would have done the same thing to another motorist i.e. A traffic light going from red to green but not noticing it. Changing lanes without signaling and gauging the speed of the traffic in the other lane, causing a motorist to slam on their brakes.
When it happens (one or twice a year), I ignore it...
I remember some advice from my childhood that started with "Sticks and stones, ..."
I just ignored him and never looked his way and kept on riding. What do you guys do in these situations?
The same, and maybe a casual wave as if I misread his intent. Am I someone who knows him, a neighbor down the street, a higher-up where he works? Commuting, any of these are possible. If they have even a second's doubt about it they have to confront their own misbehavior.
If I ever have a situation where someone yells and I'm actually able to hear anything besides "yeraaarraaaahgaablaaaaaa" I'll let you know.
But in general, try this advice:
I almost never really seem to have any idea what they're saying. One time I heard the word "sidewalk" among some other garbled crap. I don't think there's going to be any fruitful discussion stemming from any engagement that involves a raging narcissist yelling incoherently at me, so I just shake my head and move on.
When car drivers yell at me, it never seems to matter what they are trying to say... all I can hear is "Look at me, I'm a complete moron!".
wave, who knows it might even be the appropriate response
In a security job years ago, I had a guy come in and give me all sorts of trouble over what should have been a painless bit of procedure. He was unhappy and had been quite a prick, so I enhanced his experience and had him waiting around DMV style to return the favor.
Shift change happens, I move into the back room to enjoy my gourmet breakfast and the day shift desk sergeant takes on the happy case for me.
From the back room I hear the guy, who now realizes his company truck has no paperwork and won't be allowed onto the base, making a cellphone call to raise hell with his boss over the situation.
I hear: "I don't care what it takes, I've run into this great big ******* here who isn't going to give an inch"
So I do the rational, logical thing...I jump up, burst into the reception area and ask him "Can you swim?", stunned he says "What?" and in my best Jules from Inglewood impression I tell him, "I hope you can swim, because that's about the only way you are getting out on that pier ever again with that attitude"
So the dust settles, he leaves and the day sergeant comes back and asks "What the hell was that all about?" So I explain that anyone who calls me a great big ******* isn't going to be subject to my best customer service.
The sergeant then proceeds to explain to me that, in fact, what he said was "I've run into a great big hassle"
So in fact, this great big ******* doesn't often respond to random things shouted at him anymore.
Also having worked in security, as a bouncer and in the clubs for years as a soundman, I've learned a solid fact. There are some true animals out there in this world and one never quite knows when one will meet one of them. Some things just aren't worth that gamble. Just keep pedalling.
If I am at fault, I apologize.
If I am not at fault, I tend to respond with a finger (or sometimes two).
Most yells are from friends and neighbors so I either wave hello or stop and talk. Attempted verbal abuse I ignore as if the attempted abuser did not exist. The attempted abuser pays the penalty of non-being.
Waving at least lets people know that you heard them. I suppose it might be escalating the situation, but I've never had anyone do that.
I simply tune it out. Some people need to vent, so I let them.
A lot of the times I've been yelled at, I've been able to understand them: "GET ON THE F****** SIDEWALK!", or "GET THE F*** OFF THE ROAD!" I usually tell them what they can do with themselves, and see if they want to escalate things. ONE did -- reminded me of the "Green Mile" convict, so he kinda got the better of that one, I escaped.
There was one other, a senior police official, in his own vehicle (which still had a PA in it); he broadcast to me TWICE, "SIDEWALK!". This was in December, and the sidewalks were under two feet of plowed snow drifts. I loudly told him, "SAME RIGHT TO THE ROAD AS YOU!" The second time, he threatened to arrest me. I repeated myself, he drove off, I rode home. . . and wrote a letter to the Chief of Police detailing the matter. The response letter was, on the face of it, unsatisfactory -- but it did what I wanted, it got attention paid to the issue. They dealt with that internally, somebody was called on the carpet.
Since about '07, I've averaged about 1-2 'hollers' a year; last year could easily have bumped that, but just as I was getting good and geared up for them, they died out.
Ignore while slowing down slightly.
I almost never really seem to have any idea what they're saying. One time I heard the word "sidewalk" among some other garbled crap.
That's my experience as well. I can't really hear what they're saying, so I assume it's a friendly greeting and I smile and wave. One time I did hear the word sidewalk, but I figured he was making a joke as we were on a tiny, chipseal country lane and the nearest sidewalk was about 10 miles away.
Whenever a driver does something stupid, like buzzes me or turns in front of me, I usually just raise my left hand up in the air as if to say "what the hell is wrong with you". No one has yet to react to me doing that, though.
sometimes i flash the peace sign!
sometimes, just half of it.
What most of these cars want when they harass a cyclist is to get a knee jerk reaction out of them. Nothing rewards bad driving more then a cyclist flipping the finger or being seen going into a tantrum. And over-reacting when a car harasses you only will make it worse for the next cyclist.
Don't reward them.
I cuss them out flip them the bird and everything else that makes me happy
My standard "Ride on the F'ing sidewalk" reply is: "Your wife/gf/mother really isn't that appealing to me."
But generally I just wave, 'cause I mostly have no idea what was said.
Mostly immune to it, tune it out, as I'm too focused on my ride. But I would say in general I don't get many comments, as most cars/drivers are fairly accommodating.

Liver Conditions
When you or a loved one is living with liver disease, it is important for you or your loved one to receive ongoing care from doctors who specialize in treating the liver.
Liver conditions
When diagnosing liver disease, your doctor will look at your symptoms and will conduct a physical exam. In addition, your provider may ask for a liver biopsy, liver function tests, an ultrasound, a computed tomography (CT) scan, and/or a magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) scan in order to properly diagnose your condition.
Some common liver disease symptoms include:

Below I added it to a scarf made from strip of an upcylced t shirt. Strips are cut 1 inch and stretched. This is about 5 strips and then they are doubled.

Also working Saturday for a possible start in the San Felipe was Hollywood Prevue S. (gr. III) hero Fonz's, who went a half-mile in an easy :51 2/5. The son of Out of Place hasn't started since finishing second to Siphonic in the Dec. 15 Hollywood Futurity (gr. I).Hofmans also said Jerry Frankel's Triple Crown-nominated colt Joey Franco suffered a stress fracture just above his elbow and will be out of training for about three months. The California-bred son of Avenue of Flags won his last race, a non-winners "other than" allowance at a mile on the main track by an impressive 3 1/2 lengths, on Feb. 15 in what was his third career start. "It's the strangest place for that type of injury," Hofmans said. "It's a little stress fracture right above his elbow. He did it in his last race, I think. He came out of it fine and cooled out fine and then a couple days later he was sore. Thankfully it's not a big deal and he'll be back in action." Joey Franco finished third in the Dec. 28 California Breeders' Championship S. in his first start and broke his maiden by a widening two lengths three weeks later. Overall, the colt has earned $78,000.
by Margaret RansomTop Triple Crown hopeful Siphonic worked five furlongs in 1:00 1/5 over a fast track at Hollywood Park Saturday in preparation for the March 17 San Felipe S. (gr. II) at Santa Anita. Trainer David Hofmans clocked the Amerman Racing Stables colorbearer in splits of :12 3/5, :25, :36 3/5 and :48 3/5. Regular exercise rider Michelle Jensen was aboard for the move."I'm just tickled," Hofmans said. "If he had gone in 1:01 or 1:02, that would have been fine, but in the final eighth he just drops and kicks it in and makes it look so easy. Everyone talks about gears with horses. This horse had two or three more gears left today. That's kinda cool."This latest breeze was the second for Siphonic since finishing second after a troubled break in the Santa Catalina S. (gr. II) at Santa Anita on Jan. 19. He logged a half-mile in an easy :50 3/5 two weeks ago and then missed a scheduled breeze last weekend after developing a slight fever. With all the trouble apparently behind him, Siphonic is now firmly back on track and looking toward the May 4 Kentucky Derby (gr. I)."This horse has such intelligence," Hofmans said. "He's got such a great personality. He's really a nice horse to be around."Plans call for the Kentucky-bred son of Siphon to run in the San Felipe, followed by the April 6 Santa Anita Derby (gr. I) before moving on to Louisville and the Run for the Roses. Siphonic, who came out of Saturday's move in fine fettle, is scheduled to breeze again on Friday.Another Hofmans-trained Triple Crown hopeful, Definite Edge, also was on the Saturday worktab at Hollywood Park, logging a half-mile in :47 3/5 just minutes after his stablemate. The son of Deputy Minister, who finished fourth after bleeding in the February 8 Sham Stakes at Santa Anita, scoped cleanly after his drill and a decision will be made about where he'll likely run next within the next few days, according to Hofmans. Definite Edge, who has one win and one second-place finish from five career starts, is owned by David and Jill Heerensperger."Definite Edge has to put more work into it, but he went very well today and I'm pleased with how he went. He's a very nice a horse and he can really run."

Pokémon X & Y Shiny Gengar Event Confirmed for Japan
Pokémon X & Y is scheduled to receive a new event exclusively for Japan, with it allowing users to download the well-known Ghost-type Pokémon Gengar in its shiny form.
Centred on an upcoming promotion for Halloween called "White Gengar," the shiny Gengar is presented to Trainers in a Dusk Ball and is set at Level 25, with the moveset for the Pokémon also revealed: Shadow Ball, Confuse Ray, Sludge Wave and Astonish.
Serebii has stated that Gengar cannot learn the move Sludge Wave normally, meaning that it's an opportunity for enthusiastic Pokémon X & Y users to receive a very special Pokémon.
Gengarite is the Mega Stone that participants of the event will receive along with Gengar, allowing you to use a white Mega Gengar during a battle.
Running from September 13th to October 14th, no specific details have been confirmed as to which stores will be hosting the event in Japan, but more details are expected to be announced in the next few weeks.
It was announced yesterday that Pokémon X & Y will be receiving an upcoming battle competition taking place worldwide in September, with the tournament dubbed as Fairy Garden and, as the name suggests, focuses on Fairy-type Pokémon. Specific details regarding that event can be found here.
Nintendo also confirmed that the highly anticipated Pokémon Omega Ruby and Alpha Sapphire are set to receive steelbook bundles in Europe, with retailer GAME stating that all pre-orders will come with either a Primal Groudon or Primal Kyogre figurine depending on the title being purchased.

Carroll's recruit, Jordy Raines, approaches Linda outside the Delta Rho Gamma Sorority at Winslow University, VA, posing as a campus security guard. He offers to check their doors and windows and Linda invites her in. Jordy goes to an upstairs room where a girl is out and tells Linda that he's studied the room a lot. He then opens the window and brings in a leather bag that he tossed there earlier. Linda wonders what it is and Jordy says that it's important to have the right tools as he takes out a knife and explains that he's been planning for a long time.
Claire is at home watching broadcasts about her ex-husband Carroll's recapture and the abduction of her son Joey. Ryan arrives with Reilly and Claire runs to hug him. She then asks why Emma, the woman she knew as Denise Harris abducted Joey, and Ryan explains that Carroll put Denise there. When she insists that she has the records on her nanny's background, Ryan asks to see them. Mike confirms that Emma drugged the guards and Joey, took him out, and abandoned the car 45 minutes later. Claire gives Ryan the background files and admits that Emma kept to herself and read in her room a lot. She blames herself for not seeing what Emma really was and Ryan tells her not to think that way.
Emma, Jacob, and Paul drive Joey to an isolated house in the forest. Joey runs across the lawn and Jacob runs after him and playfully tackles him. Emma comes over and tells Joey that the house belongs to a friend of a friend. As they go in, Joey asks to call his mother but Emma claims that Claire said that she doesn't want anyone to call. Meanwhile, Jacob talks to Paul, who is uncomfortable with abducting Joey. Paul half-seriously says that he wants to break Joey's neck. They walk over to Emma and Paul insists that he likes Joey. Once Paul goes inside, Jacob tells Emma that Paul has a rough night and then Emma says it's good to have him back and they kiss.
At the Federal detention center, Mike briefs Ryan on their search for Joey and introduces their consultant to Agent Mitchell with cyber forensics. She explains that "Denise Harris" doesn't exist, but they have identified Jacob and Paul by their real names. Paul is a computer consultant with a history of fraud. When Ryan asks where Agent Mason is, Mike sends him to Reilly, who is talking with Deputy Marshal Turner. Turner wants Ryan off the case, well aware of how he cracked after the Carroll case. They're meeting with Agent Debra Parker, who introduces herself as Mason's replacement. She explains that Mason has been taken off the case because she let Ryan talk to Carroll privately and Ryan then broke three of his fingers. Debra is willing to give Ryan the benefit of the doubt and figures that they have to keep Ryan on as long as Carroll has cast him in his new story.
Ryan asks to be deputized, insisting that Franklin was the one who wanted him on the case. Debra only says that she'll take it under advisement and asks about first his drinking and then his heart. Ryan tries to focus on the case and explains how Carroll solicited people like Jordy via the Internet. Debra asks about the letter that Carroll mentioned in the interrogation and Ryan tells her that Claire received a personal letter from Carroll questioning her relationship with Ryan. Reilly comes in to tell them that they have more bodies.
The team goes to the sorority house where Jordy killed all nine girls in the house. The killer removed the eyes and wrote "Nevermore" on the walls, just like Carroll, and Ryan figures that Jordy is Carroll's acolyte. He speculates that they abducted Joey as a sacrifice, and warns that Carroll won't tell them where they can find the boy. Reilly suggests that Carroll might tell his wife and tells Ryan that he asked to see Claire.
Before they send Claire in, Ryan suggests that she address Carroll's paternal instincts. He asks if she wants to do it and realizes that she doesn't, but she doesn't have a choice. As she goes in, Claire briefly touches Ryan's hand.
Ryan visits Claire at her new place and she tells the agent that she doesn't want to see Carroll again. He assures her that she doesn't have to.
The Present
Claire goes into the interrogation room and he starts to talk about how beautiful she is. She demands to know where Joey is but Carroll talks about a trip to Antigua that they took. Claire focuses on Joey but Carroll expresses his sympathy for her feelings and then asks if she got his letter. He refuses to discuss Joey until Claire answers her questions, and she says that she received the letter. Claire admits that they had an affair for two months after the divorce, and Carroll asks if the sex was good. She says that it was and Ryan, watching the monitors with the team, says that they have to get Claire out of there. Debra refuses and they watch as Carroll asks if she loves Ryan. Claire slaps her ex-husband and he chokes her, insisting that he'll always love her. Reilly and the guards go in and get Claire out.
As Ryan checks Claire's throat, she apologizes for what she said to Carroll and asks if they have any word on Joey. Ryan promises that they'll find her son.
Joey and Emma check out the house and discover that they set up a room just like the one at home. He asks to call his mother and Emma insists that they have to wait. Joey asks why her father is such a bad man and Emma suggests that he's not so bad and they don't understand him.
Emma listens to Carroll reading at a book signing, fascinated. Later, he signs her book and Emma says how beautiful it was. Carroll moves her hair out of her eyes and compliments Emma on them, and she asks if the protagonist, Gwendolyn, died. Carroll asks what she thinks and Emma talks about how she died, swimming toward hope. Emma's mother Sharon Cooper comes in to pick her up and flirts with Carroll, who signs the book "Hopefully yours."
The Present
Paul comes by and asks which room is theirs, and Emma tells him that he'll be sleeping alone while she and Jacob take the master. He objects but claims it's only because of what Joey might think, and Emma tells him not to worry about it.
Mike goes over the video logs and confirms that Emma visited with Jacob, and later Jacob visited with Paul. Ryan has him check the first time Emma visited to see if she used her real name and Mike confirms that her last name is Hill and she has a home address in nearby Petersburg. Reilly doesn't believe Carroll would risk hiding Joey there but Debra sends him to check it out with Ryan and Mike.
In Petersburg, the FBI calls in the local authorities and approaches the house. The place is seemingly deserted and Ryan checks out the back. He breaks in while Mike listens nervously, and goes inside. There are discarded carryout boxes in the kitchen and Poe's works and pictures on the walls. In the bedroom are a collection of Poe masks and a copy of Ryan's book. A man wearing a Poe mask charges out at Ryan, draws a gun on him, and says that he shouldn't be there. The attacker promises that Ryan will die later and knocks him unconscious.
Later, the FBI secure the house and Ryan tells Debra that the man didn't match Jordy's height and build. He figures they weren't supposed to find the house, and Debra realizes that Carroll has created a religion around Poe's works. She analyzes it in some detail and explains that she runs the Bureau's alternative religion branch and specializes in cults.
Paul gets them online via wireless wifi and uses an untraceable connection to log onto Carroll's board. They confirm that Jordy pulled off a serial killing despite his relative incompetence. Emma comes in and tells Paul to check on Joey. Once they're alone, Emma asks Jacob if Paul is really gay, and Jacob explains that it was just the two of them for a long time. She says that Paul needs to adjust and insists it's what Carroll wanted.
Emma comes to visit Carroll and shows off her new, shorter haircut. Carroll compliments her on it and offers to put her in touch with a guy who he thinks would like her. He suggests that she go out and have some more fun. Later, Emma meets with an equally shy Jacob and they immediately hit it off.
The Present
Jacob and Emma make out on the couch.
At the Hill house, Debra tells Reilly to run handwriting analysis on all the writings. Ryan looks at the wall and finds a clipping about Claire.
Claire asks if she should be happy that she's divorced and Ryan tells her that she deserves some happiness in her life. They share a toast and then Claire tells Ryan to kiss her. He asks if she's sure and Claire says that she's been sure for a long time, and they share their first kiss.
The Present
Paul tells Jacob that Rick sent them an update that the FBI found Emma's house. Rick wants Emma to call because she's in charge. Jacob says that he has to stop fighting with Emma because it's awkward, and Paul warns his friend that Emma is out of his league. Jacob turns toward Emma, who has overheard the whole thing, and says that she's amazing.
Jacob has supper with Emma and Sharon, and Sharon flirts with him. She admits that she's surprised that they're dating, and Jacob says that Emma is the most amazing woman he knows. When Sharon puts down Emma, describing her as plain-jane, Emma stabs her in the back. Jacob looks at her and says that she finally did it.
The Present
Emma and Jacob smile at each other for a moment.
Ryan checks out the attic of the house and finds the names of women written on the wall. He tells Reilly that they are all women in Poe's life who died. Among them is a photo of Sarah. Mike finds a hollow space behind the wall and pries a board loose, and Sharon's mummified corpse falls out. Ryan points out that burial behind a wall is c Poe, while Debra finds a photo of Claire. She has her people call Claire's residence to make sure she's safe.
The team go to Claire's house and Detective Morales confirms that Claire is safe and there's no sign of forced entry. Ryan tells Claire about Emma and how she was visiting Carroll in prison. As Debra watches, Claire takes Ryan's hand for a moment. He goes outside and complains to a couple of officers who are drinking coffee.
Inside, an officer escorts Claire upstairs and checks her room. Once he's done, he takes up watch outside in the hallway.
Reilly informs Debra that nine different handwritings were found at Emma's house. Four match Emma, Jacob, Paul, and Jordy, but five remain unidentified. They have confirmed the dead body is Sharon and Debra wonders how Jordy managed to disappear despite his low IQ.
As Claire washes up, the cop notices something down the hall and goes to investigate. Jordy drops down behind him and shoves him into a room. Once he disposes of him, he goes into Claire's room and closes the door behind him. She sees him in the mirror just as he charges at her.
Outside in the command van, Ryan brings up blueprints of Sarah's house that were written on the walls at Emma's house. Among them he finds a blueprint of Claire's basement and, realizing what it is, runs back into the house. He runs upstairs to Claire's bedroom and Jordy, holding Claire hostage, shoots at him. Ryan ducks back and Jordy says that they've been waiting for him. He tells Ryan to keep everyone out and the others back up. Ryan comes in while Reilly slips a gun underneath his belt, and then Ryan closes the door.
Jordy insists that he has to kill Claire and make Ryan watch, or Ryan has to kill him. Ryan insists that nobody has to die and that Carroll doesn't want Claire dead, but Jordy insists that it's his chapter and he can write it anyway he wants. The ex-agent suggests that they call Carroll and points out the phone. As soon as Jordy looks at it, Claire shoves her captor away and Ryan shoots him in the shoulder.
Later, Reilly and Mike complain to Morales about her failing to allow for Jordy having inside help. Turner orders the cops out while Debra checks on Ryan and Claire. After a moment, Ryan releases Claire's hand and goes outside with Debra, who tells him that they'll question Jordy as soon as he wakes up. Ryan insists on seeing Carroll and Debra reluctantly lets him.
At the detention center, Ryan enters the interrogation room with four armed guards accompanying him. Carroll points out that Ryan looks tired and tells him to take care of himself. Ryan points out that Claire almost died but Carroll says that he figured Ryan would arrive to rescue her. He tells Ryan to toughen up because Jordy is nothing compared to some of his cult members. When Ryan asks why he's doing it, Carroll tells him to accept the challenge and tells him that he'll have to figure out his end game. He asks Ryan how it feels to kill the villain and win, and Ryan tells him that Jordy is alive and well and confined nearby. Carroll admits that his survival wasn't part of the plan but dismisses Jordy as a halfwit. Satisfied that he's put Carroll off of his game, even momentarily, Ryan leaves.
Ryan goes back to Claire's place and offers to take her somewhere else, but she doesn't see the point. When he starts to leave, Claire asks him to stay, insisting she doesn't trust anyone but him. Ryan assures her that he's not going anywhere. Claire curls up on her son's bed, holding his stuffed animal.
Paul looks in on a sleeping Joey, and then looks into the master bedroom. Emma and Jacob are making love and after a moment, Paul walks away.
Debra goes to Carroll's cell to give him the book he requested: the complete works of Poe. He peers out at her through the window and she shoves the book through the slot.
Ryan watches over Claire until she dozes off.
The next day, the masked man from Emma's house walks up to a man getting food from a vendor. He pours gasoline on him, sets him on fire, and walks away.

Trouble is coming home to roost in Leesburg, Va.
Vultures, by some estimates up to 200 of them, are making their home in neighborhoods around Mayfair Drive and Plaza Street in the northeast part of the town.
Vultures are important for the environment but cause trouble when they make their homes in residential areas. They tend to damage roofs by picking at rubber seals and roofing material, and their waste falls on vehicles, buildings and yards, causing health concerns.
So starting Monday and continuing daily through the week, federal wildlife officials will set off fireworks, lasers and noisemakers to disrupt and disperse the vultures. The effort begins at 4 p.m. and lasts for about an hour.
Wildlife officials say if the effort works, both resident and the vultures will benefit.

Hi, Semantic uses files explicitly included into a C file as a sort of search optimization to find things more quickly. It has a nice side effect of showing you the definition that the C compiler would actually use. The "find the implementation" part is on my todo list. The problem is that Semantic may not have parsed the file with the definition, and there is no way to know what of the many files in a project may have the definition. I'd like to use EDE to help with this part. Anyway, it is possible, Semantic could have this info to be used, but no one has written that specific interface for senator yet. >And BTW, can you suggest a convenient method to jump back to the >original buffer after a semantic-complete-jump with some >keybinding/function? You can use semantic-mru-bookmark mode, which is enabled with the code-helpers. Use C-x B (capital B) to jump to some tag you have recently been in. If you use senator-jump, then it will default to that last place. The history contains all the tags you dallied in. Eric -- Eric Ludlam: eric@...

Tanner Sanders took another trip to Oregon State this past weekend, once again impressed by how the Beavers are playing and where the program is headed.
It's especially important for Sanders since the Corvallis (Ore.) Crescent Valley athlete is a hometown kid and has seen significant changes at Oregon State since last season.
"Oregon State is really impressive right now," Sanders said. "I got invited to their game on Saturday. I went down to the field and I watched them. They also had someone come to my game on Friday which was great.
Article Continues Below
"The atmosphere is nuts. They're excited to go to Beaver games now. You look up in the stands and it's packed. I don't know if they had that all of last year but people are excited now and it's great.
"Especially being the hometown team where I can go down and watch them every weekend it's awesome."
Oregon State and San Diego State have already offered the 2014 prospect who's mainly being recruited as an athlete and many other programs are also getting involved.
Two Pac-12 programs especially - Oregon and Arizona State - are showing the most interest and Sanders is hearing from others as well.
"Everything is going great," Sanders said.
"I'm getting tons of letters from the Pac-12. I'm getting 7-10 letters per week from Oregon and Arizona State. Washington has been coming along with Boise State. It's going great right now and we're on a three-game win streak and I've been playing well so far.
"I'm getting recruited just as an athlete now. I'm hoping to get a few more personalized letters once the season wraps up. I know coaches are super busy so I'm just getting mainly form letters right now."
The 6-foot-5, 198-pound recruit said he's mainly hearing from all Pac-12 programs except for USC so far.

Discussion in 'Important Gun Control Info' started by Jeff82, Apr 26, 2004.
Well all I can say gentlemen, is that I am glad that I don't live in England anymore ^3
Hey, Metallic,
Enemies Foreign and Domestic by Matt Bracken is a real good read about how stuff can spin out of control. It's fiction, but you'll find it a hard book to put down. Amazon has it or you can order directly from Matt Bracken at http://www.enemiesforeignanddomestic.com
Why in the world would one need to learn first aid for gunshot wounds in England? Aren't guns illegal there? I'd have thought it would be all Mary Poppins , candycanes and buttercups from there out...;Q
I hope that we never wind up the same way.
So now the Islamofacists have attacked the public transport system in London, killing some and maiming many. Missing one or more limbs or faculties such as eye sight for the rest of one's life is one of the results of these kinds of bombings. And for those who were at the blast sites but not injured, the psychological wounds will never heal.
But now that the Brits have been completely disarmed, a citizen couldn't have stopped the bombing even if he'd seen what was going on. And the way Britain's justice system has been handling cases of self defense the "vigilante" who might have tried to stop the perps barehanded would most likely have been tried for "offensive conduct." What a sorry state of affairs in what was once a proud country.
You'd think with over 100,000 cameras (just around London) and all the gun and violence control, Big Brother Nanny should've been able to safeguard the citizens of the realm! Of yeah, almost forgot, it's not interested in safeguarding, it's interested in controlling and suppressing...
Hardly surprising considering most are illegal here.
My first post on here and I must say I am somewhat astonished with the ignorance some members of this forum view the laws of the UK. Many of you seem to try to compare the UK to what may or may not happen to gun laws in the US. In my honest opinion it's not really realistic to do this as the cultures are totally different.
Strict gun law in the UK finds it's roots in 1987, and a horrific incident in the quiet country town of Hungerford. SEE HERE
Following that incident all automatic weapons were banned, with no exceptions.
Then on 14th March 1996 THIS HAPPENED
Following that equally horrific incident all handguns were banned.
Now you as Americans certainly dont seem to agree with our laws, but equally, you dont seem to understand why they are there. We are a democracy and the new laws were universally popular and called for by the public.
I for one am not going to criticise your gun laws. You have the right to bear arms, and fair play to you, but please, oh please, don't criticise ours. They were introduced to protect the public, and for the most part are very effective. Contrary to what you might see on the news, gun crime here is very low.
How do I know this? Well, ok, time for me to tell you what I do. I am a police officer. It is true that most UK officers are unarmed, and nearly all WANT TO CONTINUE be unarmed. We are a civilian force and therefore police by consent of the citizens.
We do have firearms teams, and very effective they are too, but to be honest they are rarely needed (Although they are ALWAYS available)
Sure, bad things happen here, they do everywhere, but please bear in mind things are very different here. British people dont want guns everywhere. It's as simple as that.
I have spent a lot of time in the States (I have family in Texas) and I must say I love it out there, and I love the culture. I am comfortable around guns, indeed I use guns on a regular basis.
It may surprise some of you to know that hunting rifles and shotguns are legal here. I enjoy hunting, and do it on a regular basis.
The point of this post? I just wanted to maybe help some of you understand the reasons things here are like they are. I'm certainly not here to pass judgement on you or the use of firearms in your country.
Thanks for your time,
P.S. Coolknight - A lot of us know quite a bit about guns actually
Took the words right outta my mouth! ;D
You are not allowed to carry a pocket knife, you are not even allowed to carry pepper spray!!!
What nonsense.
My mother just came back from a stay in London, and was with her sister traveling on London Transport. She resisted having her purse snatched (like she did the year before on a London Bus) and the "gentleman" struck my Aunt around the face.
No one came to their assistance.
What a farce.
You have no right to protect yourself in the UK.
Unfortunately you are showing your ignorance of English Law.
Everyone has the right to defend themselves. The legal definition is "with as much force as is reasonable in the circumstances". If that means a pre-emptive strike to prevent an attack on your person, then sobeit. As long as your actions can be justified, then you are allowed to use force.
You can carry a pocket knife, as long as it is not a lock knife or in excess of 3 inches.
It is true, you cannot carry pepper spray. Pepper spray is a class 5 firearm under English law. Police (including myself) carry CS or Pepper spray routinely.
I cannot comment on your aunts experience. I do not work in London. I work in a county police force, where all violent crime is dealt with the utmost importance.
In not saying the UK isn't violent. London, like any other large city in the world suffers with many violent incidents.
What has your aunt being mugged got to do with gun crime?
Did the attacker point a gun in her face (like what would be the norm in a major US city?) I doubt it.
TommyT, you are a prime example why i will never move to the UK. Oh, and pretty much the only people moving to your country are muslim terrorits. I'd still be speaking with a limey accent had my fore fathers been disarmed. Probably with a 60% tax rate also. You guys are our allies and friends but just don't get it about our 2nd amendment.
i wonder why all you europeans, besides the swiss, have no guns listed below your sig line? can you carry off duty?
No. I don't carry one ON duty either.
Don't get your 2nd ammendment? No, of course I don't. And you don't get our laws. That's my point. Our countries have differnt laws for their own reasons. Yours works for your country, ours works for mine.
I posted on here to maybe introduce some understanding as to why we have the laws we do, not to turn this thread into a slanging match.
no slanging?;z
Yes we are, and I for one am proud of that friendship. My younger brother is in Iraq with the army now, doing his bit. You mention the swiss, but are they your brothers in arms when the brown stuff hits the fan?
ok, fair point.
I was just trying to prove a point. Badly. ;Q
correct, the swiss will just make watches and chocolate while we(the u.s. and uk) take care of terrorists. but it's gotta be cool to have a fully auto sig558(model #?)under your bed.
Does kinda have an appeal I suppose. Knowing my luck though, I'd blow my ears off. ;i
Not last time I looked at my paycheque!
We actually have one of the lowest income tax rates in Europe.
And it's great not having to pay for healthcare. ;f
i shall sleep much better tonight. especially with my G22 loaded with speer gold dots in my nightstand.;?

Present at the creation
This year, proclaims the Guardian, "the Blog turns 20," and they interviewed three of the old-timers. One section resounded with me:
What was blogging like 20 years ago? What kind of tools did you use? What did the web mean to you?
Dave Winer: My first blog post was on October 7, 1994. I was playing around with some scripts to do stuff on the web, which was new and I found fascinating. I started out timidly at first, to see what would happen, and quickly saw how powerful this was. I could publish all on my own, and get lots of interesting people talking, and push that back out to them. It felt risky, but I loved the feeling.
Meg Hourihan: My first post on megnut.com was May 9, 1999, and I considered that my blog. I was using a database back-end to manage entries, and I was consciously putting new posts at the top of the page, but keeping the older ones too. Before Megnut, I hand-coded entries and just over-wrote whatever was on the page. With a new domain, pictures and a database of entries, I felt like I was starting my own publication. It was incredibly empowering.
Justin Hall: My first web page went live in January 1994. My first daily entry on the front page went live in January 1996. When I started writing regularly on the web, the pages were crude basic pictures and text. Meg describes the feeling of owning a publication and it's true blogging felt like you'd launched your own magazine. I started writing on the web because I could. Because it seemed easy.
I know from crude pages: mine certainly were. (Some might argue that they still are.) But "incredibly empowering," I suggest, actually understates the case; if you ever harbored notions that you just weren't good enough, there are literally (in the literal sense) millions of blogs out there, and some of them are written by people who actually get paid to come up with that crap.
Everything here was hand-coded from the finest-quality bits from spring 1996 to summer 2002, when I first decided to install something resembling a content-management system. The static pages still are written and maintained by hand; it's too much trouble to merge them into WordPress. (And there are more than 8,000 of them.)
Says Dave Winer:
There will always be a small number who are what I call "natural born bloggers." They were blogging before there were blogs, they just didn't know what it was called. Julia Child was a blogger as was Benjamin Franklin and Patti Smith. I inherited my blogging gene from my mom, who is 81 and has a blog.
I don't think I have any genetic component in my urge to write or if I do, it's because of a beneficial (maybe) mutation that occurred after I started.

Edit/Modify the Ubuntu Installer, Ubiquity
Hi Guys,
I was wondering how I would be able to modify/edit the Ubuntu installer, Ubiquity, so that whenever I boot up the Ubuntu LiveCD (for example, version 7.10 LTS), and click install, I can choose which packages I want to install. Would anyone like to help me, or know any internet guides/books, or know from experience how to do this?

Gamasutra - Anatomy of Development Contract
While completely off-topic, Gamasutra has a fascinating -- though dry -- feature that fully reveals the depths of a game development contract. Call of Duty: The Finest Hour developer Spark recently filed suit against Activision for beach of contract and with the contract filed as an exhibit and unsealed by the court, Gamasutra has posted the entire contract, including all terms and the detailed milestone payment breakdown.
While not exactly entertaining reading (and amounting to 15 pages of complex legalise), this is fascinating material for anyone interested in the business side of game making. Gamasutra has provided a page-by-page analysis from three attorneys to assist in understanding the document.
Among the details are that Activision retained all rights to all material including development tools created in the process, that Spark was responsible for all patches for "a reasonable period of time", the full details of their royalty agreement including the extensive costs excluded and, as mentioned, the milestone payments for the $8.5M development. Head here to read the entire document - bring a stiff drink and plenty of time with you.

The bill Walker signed Wednesday changes current law, which lets the chief inspector or municipal clerk designate areas for election observers to stand.
Walker also signed a bill requiring that an equal number of people nominated by the Republican and Democratic parties serve as poll workers.
A third bill Walker signed allows election officials to stop counting most names entered as write-in candidates. Current law requires every vote be counted but election officials say that can be a time-consuming process.
The new law requires in most cases that write-in candidates only be counted for registered candidates.

Looking for the perfect portable entertainment device? Check out the Apple iPad first.
Nothing illustrates the confluence of electronics technology better than the new Apple iPad. As far as most people are concerned, it's just a new toy–but the early adopters are legion, because it offers so many things that people want, all in one slim package.
All In One
Now, the iPad doesn't have quite everything; you'll still need a separate phone. It does use a spiffy iPhone-like interface, though, which is why it's sometimes described as a cross between a tablet computer and a smartphone.
And it's a tablet computer, all right, but not the kind you're used to. The keyboard is a virtual set-up that some people find a bit off-putting, for example. But with a little experimentation, you'll be typing like Mavis Beech in no time.
The rest of the interface is pie-simple. There's a home button at the bottom of the unit; everything else is virtual. You can move from one group of icons to another by swiping your finger on the surface. One touch opens most applications, and you can change the screen orientation just by turning the iPad on its side.
As you'd expect from an Apple product, the graphics capacity is excellent; digital photos have never looked better. Also, you can use Wi-Fi to easily access the Internet, and the gaming capacity is OMG-worthy.
The iBook e-reader software is particularly striking. To turn the page, you drag your finger across it… and it turns like a real page. The interface is easy on the eyes, and it's backlit, unlike most book readers.
I found myself regretting buying that snazzy e-reader for $250 six months ago. If only I'd waited… Curse you, Steve Jobs! Curse you!
And did I mention that it's got the same iTunes capacity as the iPod? Don't have to carry one of those around anymore, either. Plus, you can play movies and (soon) TV shows on a screen much larger than any you'll find on a smartphone or mp3 player.
Basically, Apple has packaged an iPod, a tablet computer, an e-reader, a gaming device, a video viewer, digital photo frame and more in a sleek package that appeals to just about everyone. Leave it to Apple to invent something that'll make them a pile of cash in the middle of a recession (they sold 3 million in the first 80 days!)
Bottom line: the iPad is well worth buying, even at minimum price of $500. It's more for fun than productive work, but there's nothing wrong with that. So while the Apple iPad isn't the laptop killer some people hoped it would be, buying one is a lot cheaper than buying all those other portable electronics separately.

Heavyweight oil for my 2001?
So I have a 2001 with what I think is low oil pressure. At hot idle its at about 12psi and at 1300 RPM its at about 35 psi. What concerns me is when I do a hot start, it takes up to 7 or 8 seconds to create pressure and the check gauges light comes on.
I guess I have two questions: Is this normal? Would putting a heavier oil in help the problem?
I run 10w30 right now.
Heavier oil is not a good idea. The vehicle was designed for a certain oil and that's what it needs. You need to find out what the problem is and not try to mask it. Start with the cheaper stuff like sending units etc...good luck!
How many miles?
Typical signs of worn bearings. I would go to a little thicker oil and give that a shot. Lots of people go to Rotella. Trying a new sending unit might be worth the $
I would try the Valvoline Racing oil VR-1. My brother swears by it, says it has quitened his down a lot.
Make sure you are using a good filter... I run Wix. I had an issue with a Mopar filter and haven't used one since
Install a mechanical guage so you are taking a lot of guess work out of the diagnosis. Then report back what your "real" pressures are.
oh sorry. its got 127,XXX on the clock. And.....uhhh...a mysterious coolant leak..... But my oil shows no signs of contamination. Im gonna send a sample to blackstone though.
YES to the above try 20-40 and see if that helps at that mileage it won't hurt the engine maybe mileage a little--I run 15/40 in mine in Arizona all the time at 30K miles
Replacing the bearings is a major project.
What temp does your jeep run at?
If you can stay around 12-15 psi when hot then I wouldn't worry about it. LOTS of jeeps are riding around with the oil pressure that low... and LOTS of jeeps are running Rotella for that exact reason.
Temp is normal, always just below the 210 mark when fully hot. Its never overheated. I add maybe a cup of antifreeze every other week. When the motor is fully hot, the pressure guage will be around 15-18 psi driving 55mph down the road.
Is rotella that much safer or better? What weight?
It's just a HD 15w 40 motor oil. And its a quality motor oil. I don't use it but if I had one that was getting that close to 10 psi I certianly would try it. It's only around 14 bucks a gallon. Give it a shot

For years, Nevada allowed all seniors who passed their classes to walk at graduation, even if they failed the high school proficiency exam.
These students wore caps and gowns and walked across the stage with their class, but instead of a high school diploma, they received a "certificate of attendance." More than 20 states, including the Silver State, awarded these certificates to hardworking seniors who "completed" high school, but failed to demonstrate proficiency in math, reading, writing and science.
However, last year, lawmakers ended this practice, eliminating the "certificate of attendance." Policymakers said these certificates couldn't get students into college, military and sometimes even the workplace. They feared parents were confusing certificates with actual diplomas, and wanted to strengthen graduation standards.
So next month, the Clark County School District — following new state laws — will no longer issue a "certificate of attendance" to hundreds of seniors. While some educators praise the more rigorous academic standards, some parents are protesting this policy change.
Parents argue that district officials should recognize their children's work: attending and passing 12 years worth of classes. They said their children are being stripped of an important milestone, all because they couldn't pass a single test.
Clark County Schools Superintendent Pat Skorkowsky said he empathizes with these parents and students. However, he said he is bound by the new state law. Students who pass the summer administration of the high school proficiency exam may walk at the district's summer graduation in August, he said.
