Book Description:
"Visual Basic Game Programming for Teens" teaches the younger reader how to write games with the easily approachable and popular Visual Basic 6.0 and utilizing DirectX 8.1 for the game library. It devotes little time to the fundamentals of the language, focusing instead on complete game projects to teach the subject of game programming. As a "for Teens" title, this book explains the game development topics in detail. It does not explain every aspect of DirectX, but rather, uses those components needed to teach a lesson in each chapter, focusing on game programming subjects first and foremost. The focus is concentrated on creating games rather than the logistics of game programming. For instance, several chapters will cover artwork, level editing, 3D modeling, and world building-subjects seldom covered in books of this type for the beginner/teen market. It shows how just a little more work and a few more lines of code can produce a really great game. The reader will finish this book with a satisfying sense of completion, a solid feeling of closure, and a desire to tweak and modify the sample games in the book

"Kameo 2″, successor of Kameo: Elements of Power, is a cancelled Xbox 360 title which was in development at British studio Rare Ltd. Although it was never officially announced, some Kameo 2 animations appeared in a reel of a former Rare employee, as noticed by some Kameo-fans at the neoGaf Forum. It's interesting to see that the style of the project looked different from the original game, with a more "realistic" version of the character. We can speculate that they tried to make Kameo more "mature" to appeal more to the typical Xbox userbase. It is unknown to what extent development was finished when the title was cancelled in late 2007 – around two years after the original was released. Thanks to Hey Hey for the contribution!

Thank you for the feature GT! Thanks for the views and comments! This is a list of games that I really enjoyed playing but did not seem to get the amount of attention they deserved. It is likely that you might not have played some of the games on this list. I highly recommend checking each of them out because they are all very fun to play.

CIBER Activity Reports
UF CIBER's Report to the National CIBER Network
The Centers for International Business Education and Research (CIBERs) were created by Congress under the Omnibus Trade and Competitiveness Act of 1988 to increase and promote the nation's capacity for international understanding and competitiveness. Since that time, CIBERs nationwide have worked to promote education, research, and business outreach activities that enhance international business in university programs and contribute to sustaining and improving the competitiveness of American firms in global markets. The national CIBER network is publishing a report of its many activities over the last 20 years, including UF CIBER's contributions, which are outlined below.
- Understanding Business Opportunities in Africa
- South American Study Abroad
- Learning in Different Contexts: UF CIBER Measures of Perception Changes from Participation in a Short-Term Study Abroad
Synergies: CIBER Annual Reports
In 2008, UF-CIBER reached a milestone—its 10-year anniversary. For more than a decade, CIBER has developed and supported international business programs and activities across UF and beyond. Some of these programs are long-standing and have stood the test of time: the Multidisciplinary IB Research Workshop and the summer Business in Brazil tour, for example. Others have been broadened greatly since 1998: language and study-abroad offerings. UF-CIBER has also created completely new initiatives not even imagined in its earliest years, including Culture Across the Curriculum classes and several cross-disciplinary courses, such as the anthropology of global trade.
As UF-CIBER expands its programs and reach, it is important for all stakeholders—faculty, students, and members of the wider local community—to have access to our extensive array of activities. In all of our annual reports, Synergies, posted below, readers will easily find information about everything UF-CIBER offers.

Can't complain too much though, I don't want her to come away from Rome with nothing to work on. Tomorrow should be a good match.
Judging from the 2nd set only, i thought Maria was playing some amazing tennis. She was hitting with so much power and precision + she didn't make that much errors.

Jewfish dock approved
Date: February 11, 2010
by: Kurt Schultheis | City Editor
The Jewfish Key boat dock will grow in size soon.
But by how much is unknown right now.
At the Zoning Board of Adjustment meeting Thursday, Feb. 11, the board approved a variance request to extend the current 50-foot dock an additional 176-feet into Sarasota Bay.
However, if two of the homeowners don't sign on to an agreement to build a 12-slip boat dock for the five lot owners who can't build their own private dock, an eight-slip boat dock with six boatlifts and two community slips will be built instead.
In short, if three homeowners sign up for the dock, the eight-slip dock will be built. If four homeowners sign up, a 10-slip dock will be built. And if all five homeowners sign up, the 12-slip dock will be built.
The homeowners have 60 days to let town staff know whether they agree. If they choose not to be a part of the process, they would have to come back to the town in the future for a variance request to the dock.
Because large sandbar west of Jewfish Key makes it impossible for at least five of the lots to build their own private docks, the main dock is crucial to some current and future residents trying to get to and from the mainland. Construction workers and businesses that offer their services to the island also use the dock.
As a condition of obtaining a building permit for the proposed new dock, and as part of a consent order from the Florida Department of Environmental Protection to close the violation case, the section of the dock illegally added in 2004 will be removed.

Pisto is the name of a Spanish dish typical from the Region of Murcia and La Mancha. It is made of tomatoes, onions, eggplant or courgettes, green and red peppers and olive oil. It is similar to ratatouille and is usually served warm to accompany a dish or with a fried egg and bread. It is also used as the filling for empanadillas and empanadas.
The dish is sometimes formally named Pisto manchego, from its origin in La Mancha. Pisto a la Bilbaína, from Bilbao in the Basque Country, usually has just courgettes and green peppers in tomato sauce, sometimes lightly scrambled with eggs.
Other uses of "Pisto"[edit]
- In Mexico and the Southwestern U.S., "pisto" is slang for hard liquor.
- In Honduras, Guatemala, and El Salvador, the term is slang for money.

What To Do The Day Before Your Wedding: Race Horses In Your Underwear While Drunk
2/25/08 in Horse Racing | 100%InjuryRate | 1283 respect
I'm not married, nor have ever come close to being married, so while I've been to a fair number of bachelor parties, I'm still not quite sure what a man's mindset is like the day before his actual wedding.
Anyway, if it's anything like this guy's mindset in the video above, then may God have mercy on our souls. Courtesy of the good gentlemen at the Sporting Blog comes the video of that Australian guy who got drunk with a bunch of his friends and decided to pull a Chad Johnson - in his underwear - at a track just outside of Sydney last week. Well, at least he didn't run naked. The absolute kicker though was that this happened the day before his wedding.
Let me say that I would not be surprised if the wedding wound up being called off by the potential bride. In fact, I'd be surprised if the wedding still happened.
Also, just to piss everyone off, the race results were voided as well. So if this guy winds up getting his knees bashed in, you'll know why. Although the question will be was it his bride to be that did it or the gamblers.

Cultural appeal
County boasts variety of ethnic events
This time of the year, there's no shortage of fun things to do in Henrico County.
For example, on two recent weekends, some of the county's diverse music and dance offerings were on display at three events.
You could enjoy performances by a Latin ballet company, a church choir and Asian Indian dancers.
Ana Ines King, director of the Latin Ballet of Virginia, and two members of the Glen Allen-based company performed June 23 at the CultureWorks CultSha Xpo.
Dressed in a shimmering, floor-length red dress and fringed shawl, King performed a Spanish flamenco on the Science Museum of Virginia's rotunda stage.
Her dance featured beautiful fluid motions alternating with swirling spins as her shawl stayed in almost-constant motion. She twirled across the small stage, punctuating the dance with rapid-fire footsteps.
Afterwards, King introduced two young dancers costumed in brilliant, tropical colors. The duo performed a hot Caribbean rumba.
For the finale, the trio invited spectators onto the stage for a group dance lesson.
King, who founded the company, said the arts play a dominant role in Latin cultures.
"The most important part of the culture and part of the history is actually dance and music and without that we cannot live," King said.
The following day in Chester another kind of dance took center stage.
Henrico County resident Bina Shah hurried around the expansive Cultural Center of India making last-minute arrangements for the final day of the Taste of India event.
About 100 people, many from Henrico, performed at the two-day festival. Sunday's opening performance was a classical Indian dance called Bharat Natyam. The dance, performed by four teens, featured elaborate traditional dress and a tribute to Lord Ganesha, the Indian elephant god.
Shah said the event's music, dance and food were an opportunity for people to learn about India's culture without leaving the country.
"We take them to India without going to India… you experience India here," she said.
The following weekend it was busy at Gravel Hill Center in Varina despite damaging storms the night before and a temperature of 100 degrees by noon on Saturday.
The historic community hosted its "Civil War to Civil Rights" event as part of the 150th anniversary of the Battle of Glendale.
About a dozen members of Gravel Hill Baptist Church's combined choir gathered under a large white tent dressed casually in the steamy weather.
Accompanied by Alvin Campbell, a music teacher at Highland Springs High School, the choir sang four songs including, "We've Come This Far By Faith" and "Amazing Grace."
James Washington Jr., chairman of the church's music committee, said gospel music appeals to people across many cultures.
"Anybody can sing gospel music. As long as your heart is right and you have the right spirit, you can sing gospel music," Washington said. "Gospel music is something that everybody can relate to."
Even if you missed these performances, Henrico County's broad range of cultural events take place year round. The Cultural Arts Center at Glen Allen is one of the county's busiest venues.
"We make certain that our performance offerings are culturally diverse," said Anita Waters, director of public relations and marketing for the center. "Over the [past] five years … we have strategically included the Shangri-La Chinese Acrobats, The Harlem Gospel Choir, Kenya Safari Acrobats, Ezibu Muntu African Dance Company and Eleone Dance Theatre to name a few, as a way to allow our patrons the ability to experience the artistic styles from different cultures and ethnicities."
So even when this summer's heat melts into fall and eventually winter, there will still be plenty of opportunities to experience a diverse range of arts, music and dance in Henrico County.

The Boathouse to open at Short Pump Town Center
The Boathouse restaurant will open at Short Pump Town Center in the spring, its third location in the region.
"People have asked us to come to the West End for years," said owner Kevin Healy. "When the opportunity arose, we knew had to jump on it."
The new restaurant will be located in a 5,800-square-foot space under the Hyatt House Hotel at the town center and will include a large outdoor patio. > Read more.
Getting a 'mouf'-ful
Boka Kantina exceeds its strong food truck reputation
Already a fan of Boka fare from outdoor events with the Tako Truck, I was delighted to learn of the new restaurant, and eager to see if its reputation held up after putting down brick-and-mortar roots.
Would the food lose its zest if I wasn't enjoying it in the great outdoors? Would it seem pedestrian served from an ordinary kitchen instead of a truck?
Would the tacos be less satisfying as an antidote to normal lunch hunger – instead of being ingested to stave off desperate hunger after a long afternoon of crowds, sun, and tedious lines? > Read more.

Customer Raves & Reviews
Excellent Service
Candlelit Mason Jar Save the Date Magnets Received my save the date magnets yesterday and was very impressed by the product & the presentation. Colors were exactly as they appeared online. Totally satisfied.
Perfect for Mailing!
Candlelit Mason Jar Save the Date Magnets Really love the magnet! It came quickly and all the details were correct. The magnet is around the size of a credit card so you can use regular priced stamps to send them out in the envelope.
Rustic and Refined
Candlelit Mason Jar Save the Date Magnets These magnets were so great and easy to personalize! They really captured the Rustic idea of our wedding and the end product was very professional. It was a lot of fun to play around with the colors to get the exact right combination. I also purchased coordinating return labels and seals to complete the envelope. They all looked great and we got lots of compliments. I was only a little disappointed that there was only one size to choose from and that the magnets are much smaller than the envelopes that they arrive with. You can buy the card for the magnet but it wasn't advertised or suggested with the product so I did not get them and am sorry that I didn't.
Perfect for us
Candlelit Mason Jar Save the Date Magnets We are having a rustic colorado style wedding and these worked great for us. We got the smallest size which is honestly my only regret. good material and they come in a really pretty blue box that you can reuse. I would do it over again, but just get the size up. Nice purchase! Do it.
Save the dates
Candlelit Mason Jar Save the Date Magnets I expected them to be slightly larger, but I actually like the mini magnets even more being slightly larger than your average business card. I was also worried the magnet itself wouldn't be strong enough to hold anything, but I am happy to admit they proved me wrong. The colors are exactly what I wanted, I chose my own and it matches the theme perfectly. Would definitely use the company again in the future!

Google really wants you to know that the Nexus S is free today
Summary: As a quick look at the Google homepage shows, Google is really throwing its massive weight behind its one-day free Nexus S deal
If you are one of the poor saps that paid full price (or anything, really) for a Nexus S recently, Google sure does seem like it wants to rub it in your face.
Google is really pushing its one-day deal with Best Buy to offer the Nexus S for free, going as far as to advertise the offer on the Google homepage. Of course, as with all smartphone deals nowadays "free" isn't really free: The Nexus S will only cost you zero dollars if you add a two-year contract to it. So it's only mostly free. Even so, considering how much of a wonder the Nexus S is, you could certainly do worse.

When you use Microsoft Outlook, you use data files to store your e-mail messages, calendar, tasks, and other items. Data files allow you to keep your data on your computer. You can add passwords, change the location of data files, or decide which data files appear in Outlook.
If you created a .pst file that does not appear in the Navigation Pane, add the .pst file to Outlook so that you can work with the items in it.
The name of the folder that is associated with the data file appears in the Folder List. To view the Folder List, on the Go menu, click Folder List. By default, the folder will be called Personal Folders.
Top of Page
The following is a list of where Outlook data files are saved on your computer. Some of the folders might be hidden folders. To view them, do one of the following:
Outlook data files (.pst) drive:\User\user name\Local Settings\Application Data\Microsoft\Outlook
Offline Folders file (.ost) drive:\User\user name\Local Settings\Application Data\Microsoft\Outlook
Outlook data files (.pst) drive:\Documents and Settings\user\Local Settings\Application Data\Microsoft\Outlook
Offline Folders file (.ost) drive:\Documents and Settings\user\Local Settings\Application Data\Microsoft\Outlook
Find links to more information about where Outlook files are saved in the See Also section.
Keep these points in mind:
If you use a Microsoft Exchange account, typically your e-mail messages, calendar, contacts, and other items are delivered to and stored in your mailbox on the server. When you install Outlook on a new computer and configure an Exchange account, all your items on the server will be available to you again. The remaining information in this article does not apply to you, unless you have archived local data files or specified that your Exchange e-mail messages be delivered to a local data file.
If you use a POP3 e-mail account, which is one of the more common types of personal e-mail account, your e-mail messages are downloaded from your POP3 e-mail server at your Internet service provider (ISP) to your computer and delivered to and stored locally in a Personal Folders file (.pst) named Outlook.pst (the default data file name). Outlook.pst is stored in the drive:\Documents and Settings\user\Local Settings\Application Data\Microsoft\Outlook folder.
Note The default location of the .pst file is a hidden folder. To use Windows Explorer to navigate to this folder, you must first turn on the display of hidden folders. In Windows Explorer, on the Tools menu, click Folder Options. On the View tab, under Advanced Settings, under Files and Folders, under Hidden files and folders, click Show hidden files and folders. If you want to see all file name extensions, clear the Hide extensions for known file types check box under Files and Folders. Hidden folders appear dimmed to indicate that they are not typical folders.
You can move any Outlook .pst file to any location on your computer. For example, some people like to keep their Outlook data files on drive D or under My Documents, so that creating backup files is easier.
Before you move your .pst file, you might want to change its display name from Personal Folders to something more meaningful to you. Changing the name helps you to distinguish between different Outlook data files when you work with more than one .pst file.
Note Personal Folders is always a top-level folder in the Navigation Pane, in Mail.
Now you can begin moving Outlook data files to another location on your computer.
Note The default location is a hidden folder. To use Windows Explorer to navigate to this folder, you must first turn on the display of hidden folders. In Windows Explorer, on the Tools menu, click Folder Options. On the View tab, under Advanced Settings, under Files and Folders, under Hidden files and folders, click Show hidden files and folders. If you want to see all file name extensions, clear the Hide extensions for known file types check box under Files and Folders. Hidden folders appear dimmed to indicate they are not typical folders.
Note If you are using the Classic view in Control Panel, double-click Mail.
If you work offline with Outlook or use Exchange with Cached Exchange Mode, you can change the location of the local Offline Folder file (.ost) to a different folder or hard disk drive.
When you see this message: You must restart Outlook for these changes to take effect, click OK.
The next time that you start Outlook, the new .ost file will be synchronized with your mailbox on the server running Exchange.
Currently there is no way to password-protect Outlook on startup or to lock Outlook if you need to quickly walk away from your computer, other than by using your Microsoft Windows logon password or by using third-party software written specifically to password-protect Outlook. However, you can set a password on your Personal Folders file (.pst). If you use an Internet e-mail account in Outlook, such as a POP3 or HTTP account, your e-mail messages are delivered to a .pst data file on your computer's hard disk. You can use a password on your .pst file to help prevent accidental intrusion by other people with whom you share your computer.
Note If you provided a custom display name for your data file, substitute that name for Personal Folders.
Note Use strong passwords that combine uppercase and lowercase letters, numbers, and symbols. Weak passwords don't mix these elements. Strong password: Y6dh!et5. Weak password: House27. Passwords should be 8 or more characters in length. A pass phrase that uses 14 or more characters is better. For more information, see Help protect your personal information with strong passwords.It is critical that you remember your password. If you forget your password, Microsoft cannot retrieve it. Store the passwords that you write down in a secure place away from the information that they help protect.
Important Neither Microsoft, your Internet service provider (ISP), nor your mail administrator has access to your password, nor can they assist you to recover the contents of the .pst file if you forget the password.
When you click the e-mail account folder, you will be prompted for your password. After you gain access, you won't have to enter the password again for that session. If you exit and then restart Outlook, you will be prompted for the password when you click the e-mail account folder.
Important The .pst password feature is not intended to provide security against hackers. It is just a way to prevent inadvertent intrusion by other people whom you trust and share your computer with, such as at home with your family. A more secure way of protecting your data on a computer that you share with other people is to create a password-protected Windows user account for each individual who uses the computer.
The default display name of the Personal Folders file (.pst) is Personal Folders. This can be confusing if you work with multiple .pst files, all of which have the same name. A best practice is to customize the display name.
In the Navigation Pane, you see a top folder with the name that you entered. Now you can quickly distinguish your data file from any others.
Tip Customizing the file names is also useful if you keep multiple .pst file archives. For example, if you create a monthly .pst file to store all of your sent items for that month, you can rename the display name from Personal Folders to something more friendly, such as Sent Mail Archive – December 2007.
Even if you have a tendency to hoard e-mail, you might want to clear some of the clutter in the Navigation Pane. You might not always need instant access to an archive .pst file. You can remove an Outlook data file from the Navigation Pane without deleting the file from your computer.
If the Close Personal Folders option is not available, you are probably trying to remove the .pst file that Outlook uses for saving your new messages. If you remove that data file, new messages will have nowhere to go.
Tip Afraid of deleting a file and losing your data? Closing a .pst file doesn't delete the file or any items that it contains. The file just no longer appears in the Navigation Pane. You can always add any .pst file back to the display by doing the following:

Supreme Court Vacates Ninth Circuit Ruling on Generic Ibuprofen Case
On Oct. 31, 2011, the U.S. Supreme Court vacated the Ninth Circuit Court of Appeals' holding in Perrigo v. Gaeta that a state law duty-to-warn lawsuit alleging defects in generic over-the-counter ibuprofen was not subject to federal law preemption. Despite granting certiorari, the Supreme Court remanded the case to the Ninth Circuit. In its remand, the high court requested the Ninth Circuit appeals court to reconsider its holding, given the Supreme Court's ruling that state failure-to-warn cases against generic drug manufacturers were preempted by federal law.
Landmark Federal Preemption Case, Pliva, Inc. v. Mensing
The Supreme Court's pivotal ruling on federal preemption, Pliva, Inc. v. Mensing, was issued in June 2011. The Court's rationale for finding a basis to justify federal preemption came from the Hatch-Waxman Amendments to the federal Food, Drug, and Cosmetic Act. Those amendments require generic drugs to use identical warnings to consumers as their brand name counterparts.
Generic prescription medicines derive their preemption protections from the Mensing case. Mensing stands for the proposition that state law-based failure-to-warn claims are preempted by the Supremacy Clause of the Constitution. The preemption is due to the fact that generic drug makers cannot bolster drug warnings without running afoul of federal law, and the resulting conflict between state law mandates and federal drug regulations makes compliance with both sets of laws impracticable.
Background Facts of Perrigo v. Gaeta
The underlying claims in the Perrigo case stemmed from severe injuries suffered by a child, Gaeta, that were purportedly caused by an allergic, toxic reaction to over-the-counter generic ibuprofen made by the L. Perrigo Company. The injuries mounted to the point of the pediatric patient requiring a liver transplant. He first took the generic over-the-counter medication after having dermatology surgery to remove several moles. The product liability suit was ultimately filed by Gaeta's parents against drugmaker Perrigo. The suit's chief allegation was that Perrigo's failed to warn of hepatoxic risks associated with ibuprofen when it was prescribed along with Halothane. Halothane is an anesthetic that was administered to Gaeta during his mole removal surgery.
Significance of the Supreme Court's Remand to the Ninth Circuit
In Perrigo v. Gaeta, the Supreme Court flatly directed the Ninth Circuit Court of Appeals to reconsider its prior preemption ruling adverse to a manufacturer of generic over-the-counter ibuprofen. As such, the landmark case gives both the Ninth Circuit, and quite possibly also the Supreme Court, another chance to ascertain whether generic over-the-counter medicine claims are subject to the same preemption preclusions as generic prescription drugs. The scope of federal preemption law and its precedents are now subject to additional judicial scrutiny, particularly in the specific context of over-the-counter medications.

The Voice Promo Pics: Airbrushing Christina Aguileraby Free Britney at . Comments
Christina Aguilera is one attractive woman, but the airbrushing she gets in these two new promotional shots for The Voice makes her borderline unrecognizable.
On her own and with her cohorts, the 31-year-old looks great with her wavy hair, custom Xtina bling, and a piano-themed, black-and-white slimming dress.
And Photoshop. Lots and lots of Photoshop.
We'll never quite understand the need to doctor images of someone so pretty already (see Christina Aguilera photos), but such is life for PR folks.
The singer will reportedly perform her new song, "Your Body," on The Voice when it comes back in September - its first season premiering in the fall.
Are you excited for the NBC singing competition's next go-around?
She looks great!
(photoshopped -or- not)
This isn't a lot of photoshop, and she doesn't look borderline unrecognizable. Anyone who knows her could easily tell that it's her. Recent photos- not just this one- show that she's been steadily losing weight over the past couple of months. I think she looks fabulous.
@Raych- r u bein serious or R U just an intern at THG tryn to create drama? THAT'S what u call a " lil chubby"? I can't even go there, can't debate with assholes cuz their full of shit and that's all they know to spew out. Can't wait for the season to begin
She's a lil bit chubby but she looks good

Ben Draiman Brother Of David Draiman Covers Disturbed [VIDEO]
Ben Draiman brother of Disturbed and Device frontman David Draiman recently covered the Disturbed song "Stricken" which you can checkout here!
Ben Draiman brother of Disturbed and Device frontman David Draiman recently covered the Disturbed song "Stricken" which you can checkout here!
Megadeth debuted "Dance In The Rain" at the Lubbock Gigantour stop. That wasn't the only surprise though, as David Draiman of Device and Disturbed came to help finish the song.
David Draiman is a very intimidating individual. His bald head and chin piercing along with the butt-kicking boots give off a real "don't mess with me" vibe. In real life, David is an intelligent, well spoken, and maybe even a little nerdy kind of guy. So now that you know the two David Draimans, get ready for a third.
Dan Donegan and Mike Wengren of Disturbed plus Dan Chandler of Evans Blue are Fight Or Flight. Well, them and like 2 other dudes who weren't already in a band.
while David Draiman is busy with Device, and John Moyer is doing Adrenaline Mob, the remaining members of Disturbed started a new band of their own. Along with Evans Blue singer Dan chandler and others they've created Fight Or Flight.
We've done a TON of interviews over the 4 years we've been doing The RockShow. Many of them are great and some of them suck. This one rocks total balls!
I've been waiting on this one from the minute I heard about it. David Draiman (under the guise of his new band "Device") teams with Lzzy Hale on this classic tune. More after the jump.
The latest from Device as leaked! Are you ready for David Draiman's latest project? It's more of an industrial offering but it definitely will make and Disturbed fan happy. I personally think it rocks and can't wait until we get sent a copy (we need one that is "f word" free). Check it out after the jump.
The new project from Disturbed vocalist David Draiman is about to drop, and we think it just may be epic. I'm talking, the end of Disturbed epic. More after the jump.
We've all heard about David Draiman's side project Device. But we obviously haven't heard ALL the details yet. I just found out something awesome!

On 24th February 2006, I started blogging about my job as an emergency medical technician in the NHS Ambulance Service. I tried to make the posts informative, with an amusing edge where possible, and told the story of what it is like out there on a frontline ambulance.
Around two and a half years later, following some sporadic posting, I qualified as a paramedic and with that came formal registration. Combined with the increasing guidelines and concerns surrounding the use of social media at work, I felt that the blog was an unnecessary risk that I could live without and around mid-2010 I ceased updating it. It was finally 'removed' mid-2011 (it was never actually removed, the DNS records were intentionally broken).
It wasn't a decision I took lightly, and still to this day I go to incidents that I think would make a good blog entry. But without the formal backing of my employer - which might not be all that difficult to get as we now have official Twitter users from the Ambulance Service - I am not going to restart this anytime soon.
The blog itself has been backed up and removed. It has suffered comment spamming, with some entries having several thousand comments; a MySQL injection appears to have taken place as there are spam links in most of the posts and because the blog was running on Wordpress 2.0 (it's currently 3.6 at time of writing), the blog doesn't run properly due to several deprecated PHP functions. I can't even log in to the administration panel any more.
In its later days in 2011, the blog was getting around 5,000 hits a month. The vast majority of those were spam visitors, with probably about 50 genuine visitors a month. At its prime around 2009, there were probably between 400-500 genuine visitors a month.
Before I removed the blog, copied and pasted the articles into a Word document just to hold on to them. In Times New Roman size 12, the articles only (no comments) take up 71 pages, and is over 35,000 words. Somewhere between a masters and a doctorate thesis...
So this is the end. It just remains for me to say thank you for coming by and maybe we'll connect in some other way in the future.

Valdosta - Rod Willcox and Organic Milling only recently moved to Valdosta. "We bought the plant in June of 2006 and opened the plant up on July 31st of 2006," says Rod Willcox, the General Manager of Organic Milling.
And they've seen enormous success in that short amount of time. "We are already in production and I expect to see production go up 2 to 3 times in the next three months," he says.
In fact, they've been so successful they plan to hire almost 100 new employees this year.
This seems to be a trend for Valdosta businesses. Many of them are planning an expansion, which not only helps the business but the local economy and unemployment rate as well. "Existing industry is just as important, or even more important to us then new announcements," says Brad Lofton of the Valdosta-Lowndes Industrial Authority. "80 percent of existing jobs that are created in Georgia come from existing industry not new announcements."
Last year the unemployment rate fell below national and state averages at 4.2 percent, with the city creating over 1,000 new jobs.
And with Valdosta's explosive growth, they expect it to stay that way in 2007. "We are poised for continued growth in 2007 and beyond. It's a great place to be right now and there are many opportunities. We just need to seek those out and continue in that positive pace," says Dr. Cindy Tori, an Associate Professor of Economics at Valdosta State University.
An it's easy to see why, with businesses like Organic Milling continuing to grow. "We are building the business slowly and all I can say is the future looks good," Willcox says.
And continuing to make a positive mark on the economy.

Former Franklin County Sheriff's Deputy Jonathan Agee faces the possibility of receiving two life sentences tomorrow at his sentencing hearing in Roanoke Circuit Court. It is a joint sentencing between Roanoke and Montgomery County.
On Memorial Day 2011, Agee drove to Roanoke and shot his ex-wife, Jennifer Agee, at a Roanoke Sheetz.
Then, former state trooper Matt Brannock helped chase him down I-81 until both crashed. Agee, driving his marked Franklin County Sheriff's Office cruiser, got out and shot Brannock. Brannock survived. He has since retired from state police.
The hearing will start at 9:30 a.m.
Sources said to expect at least one of Jennifer Agee's family members to testify to explain to the judge their enormous loss. Brannock could testify as well.
The defense is expected to be the so-called "steroid defense." Defense attorney C.J. Covati hired a renowned psychiatrist to examine the case. Dr. Harrison Pope Jr. is on staff at a teaching hospital affiliated with Harvard Medical School. Pope is an expert on how long-term steroid use impacts the brain.

Dipl.-Geol. in Geology
The Enviromental History of Lake Stymphalia (NE-Peloponnese, Greece)
The project deals with the relationship of the different cultures inhabiting the karst valley of Stymphalia, i.a. the Mycenaeans, the Classic Greek, the Romans, to their natural environments. The aim is an integral environmental history of the Stymphalia area, which can be divided in two structural fields: firstly, the scientific research of lake archives by means of sedimentological and geochemical (e.g. X-ray fluorescence) methods to decipher the local and regional palaeohydrological and -climatic pattern (Late Glacial to present), secondly, the scholarly study of archaeological findings and historical sources to establish the linkage between cultural development (human activity) and climate history in the mountain valley of Stymphalia and surrounding areas.

CINCINNATI – After Chipper Jones took the wrap off his severely bruised and swollen lower left leg on Thursday afternoon, the Braves veteran described how a trainer "milked" the area around his contusion to dissipate the blood and how he felt worse than the day before.
It was unpleasant enough just to listen to his description and look at the grotesquely discolored area stretching from the bottom of his foot up into the top portion of his calf. But for Jones, a veteran of six knee surgeries, this was particularly painful and frustrating.
"I don't know what to tell you," said Jones, who missed his sixth consecutive start since being struck just above the ankle by a one-hop grounder Friday at Tampa Bay. "I figured I would be back playing in no more than three or four days. Feeling the way I do today, I think it's going to be a little bit yet."
His was just the ugliest of an assortment of health issues for the Braves, who were also without Brian McCann (flu) and Freddie Freeman (vision problems) in the lineup for Thursday's series finale against Cincinnati, as they tried to avoid a four-game sweep.
The Braves had lost three in a row and four of five, but at least manager Fredi Gonzalez had not lost his sense of humor.
"If we used this lineup in some games, we might get fined in spring training," Gonzalez said of his reserve-dotted lineup Thursday. "Not enough [regular starters] in there."
Reliever Jonny Venters also had his bruised left calf wrapped after being struck by a line drive Wednesday, but he hoped to be available to pitch as soon as Thursday. Finally, outfielder Matt Diaz had some similar symptoms as McCann the past two days, though not as severe.
Jones was no longer speculating on when he'd be back.
"My range of motion in my ankle is not back yet, now I'm having trouble firing my calf because of all that [bruising that moved up the calf]. And not to mention that tickles [he pointed to the painful spot where a blister formed and popped atop the hematoma]. Then they wrap it up and put this [bandage] on it, and then I've got the protective guard to [wear while hitting], which isn't real comfortable.
"So it's kind of a bad deal all the way around."
Not how the 40-year-old future Hall of Famer wanted to spend any day, much less a day when the Reds honored him during a pregame presentation Thursday. They gave him one of the three special bases that have been used during the series, bearing a message on the side of the Reds "celebrating the career of No. 10 Chipper Jones."
Even if a 15-day stint on the disabled list retroactive to the day after his last game might have been considered when his condition worsened Thursday, that didn't seem like an option after Jones was used as a pinch-hitter in the seventh inning of Wednesday's 2-1 loss, his first game action since Friday.
Braves manager Fredi Gonzalez mentioned the possibility of Jones being available to pinch-hit again Thursday night, and he took batting practice again. But Jones said when he tried to run on Wednesday he couldn't go much harder than a light jog.
"Anything else past that is impossible," he said. "And like I say, I'm probably worse off today than I was yesterday."
Jones said the timing of the injury was particularly bad, with the Braves struggling and about to host a weekend series with Washington, which was a half-game ahead of Atlanta atop the NL East standings before Thursday's games. It's the first series between the teams that have held the top spots in the division for most of the season.
"Hopefully we'll get him in the lineup in one of those games at home during the weekend," Gonzalez said.

that's one of the many downsides to getting older, you don't heal as fast as you use to. Not that surprising really

That ball was smoke and there's no meat down there, He's asking for a blood clot doing too much on it, that's why the massage it so important and the massage hurts like a b**ch too, Could easily have broken it. DL the man and let him rest. Send Francisco out for a mile of baseline before the plane leaves, maybe we can lose him in Cincy. The player FW wanted for so long is a colossal bust. Play Diaz and move Prado to third. Diaz has an idea even if it isn't a great one which is more that Wandering Juan has..

Hey Freddi. Try something different you idiot. This team is about as weak as you get. September 2011 all over again.

I still don't understand how he gets hit on the ankle by a ground ball. Com'n Chip get the glove down.

Why are people so swept up by the Brave's success? They are NOT a good team. Sure, they are near the top in the division, but the truth is they have no bench other than Hinske (who is erratic). Look at what happens when Chipper (part-time player at best), Diaz and McCann (and now Freeman)are out of the lineup. Nothing. Juan Francisco is a joke! Call up some players and quit playing scared. It's the same story every year. The Braves keep a stocked minor league system and rarely call up anyone unlike most of the other clubs. Just ridiculous to see the poor play lately highlighted by lackadaisical play in Cincinnati. Good teams find a way to rally and fight when their stars are injured. This team lacks the edge.
May 24th, 2012
8:36 pm
Get well soon Chip. Heck sometimes in the past few games I think a one-legged Chipper is better than a Juan Fransisco.
May 24th, 2012

If we were gonna consider a change in pitching coaches any ideas who might be available ?

There you go you loser Braves.Swept by the Reds. I think I will watch Kardashian reruns and have a better time than watching you losers. Bye Bye
May 24th, 2012
9:23 pm
@UGAGOLFER, no team in baseball has a deep enough bench to cover the loss of 3+ main pieces (Jones, McCann, Freeman). How well do you think the Rangers would play if they lost Hamilton, Kinsler and (pick another player here)? What about LA if they lost Kemp along with Ethier and Loney?
May 24th, 2012
9:52 pm
Such a mediocre team and organization now.
May 24th, 2012
9:59 pm
WTF? We have same # of wins as Nats in 1st and can be back on track this weekend. Long way to go and our regulars need to get healthy. I agree the bench had a bad series this time, but that Small Park is a freak show: the powerless hitters (incl. Bourn) hitting HR's and 300ft grand slam. Just put it behind us and stop bailing before even game 50.
May 24th, 2012
10:00 pm
chipper is 40…not longer a spring chicken..we need to make a trade for an established bopper….come sept you will see why
May 24th, 2012
10:19 pm
What do you guys want Fredi to do? He can't make chipper's leg heal any faster, he can't make McCann get over the flu, and he can't heal freeman 's eyes.
I knew something had to be up with freeman because he has looked awful at the plate since he had to come out of the game with a scratched cornea.
May 24th, 2012
10:20 pm
FSUBrave, what trade would YOU make if you were the GM? And better yet, where would you find the $$$ to pay said bopper?
May 24th, 2012
10:25 pm
Chumper basically stole Braves money this year. He said coming back was best for the team but everyone knew he'd be out half the games. Clearly the Braves could have gotten much more for the $14m they're paying him. Don't think for a minute that Chumper didn't know this as well going into the season. In the end, this guy will be known for a bunch of good years but no memorable accomplishments when it counted most- the playoffs.
May 24th, 2012
10:31 pm
….Braves are something like 19-5 with Chipper in the lineup…just FYI.
May 25th, 2012
12:13 am
"No Show" Jones is beaten up pretty badly but FG needs to put him on DL til he gets completely well He needs to forget about this baseball for a while and go swim etc. There are over 110 games left in this monster season,so Go Home and come back when he is well. In the long run, he may come back and kick real axx
May 25th, 2012
12:16 am
I sure hope Bones Jones is not pulling one on all of us. I do wonder because men like Larry Bird of the Celtics and Cal Ripken of the Orioles sure went through alot of pain and STILL played. I am wondering about Bones a little
May 25th, 2012
12:32 am
Chipper just pinch hit last night – so putting him on the DL at this point would be a waste, I think. Should be ready to play again in a few days….and as I said before, our record with him IN the lineup speaks for itself. Can't afford to have him miss any more games than necessary – since no one else on the team will step up and be a leader on the field.
May 25th, 2012
3:55 am
They could trade for David DeJesus from the Cubs and move Prado to 3B. DeJesus can play left and right field and gets on base a lot. He would be great batting 2nd, he takes a lot of pitches and would give Bourn the chance to run a lot.
May 25th, 2012
8:56 am
We gotta find a way to win without Chipper. Not looking forward to this young guy manning 3rd base next year. Prado back to Utility (3rd for now), Hinske/Diaz in left with some at bats.
May 25th, 2012

matty d and b mac need to stop making out.
brooks conrad never had health problems. we would be in first place if we had kept him……….hahahahahahahahahahahaha. just joshin.
May 25th, 2012
11:09 am
Let Chipper alone to have time to heal…………that hematoma could be dangerous! He needs to stay off that leg……….just ask and physician!
May 25th, 2012
11:51 am
cranbery is probably right. Bones Jones needs to say to H..with baseball and dont come back til he is well. We have over 110 games left in this marathon,so he can join in later
May 25th, 2012
12:00 pm
Cal Ripken would have played with that injury, and he wouldn't miss three games with the flu either. I don't care if Chipper can't move at the third base, if he can pinch hit, he can play.
One of you guys, Chipper, Mccann, Freeman—-s;uck it up and get out there and play.
That's what players on pennant winners do.
May 25th, 2012
12:25 pm
The most troubling thing is that the Braves medical staff has mishandled the situation. He should have been DL'd from the beginning so that he could have properly healed and we could have promoted a player who could have helped us.
May 25th, 2012
3:09 pm
Go ahead and trade for Wright..I just read that Mets would probably trade him. However don't give away the Barn to get him.
Hope Chipper is well very soon..Go Braves.
May 25th, 2012

[...] Diaz for the second-half of the series and Freddie Freeman missed time. Jones has been nursing a bruised and swollen ankle and calf following a line drive he took off of it Friday in Tampa Bay. Brian McCann and Matt Diaz have both [...]

4:02 pm
Come on Freddi get uggla out of the game you got him 4th he can't hit only way he gets on base is walk. He was 0-6 for 3 nights. Put somebody in there with a better batter than that thing. The 4th batten 300 or better. I would have keep the other players that you traded for uggla for that was a joke. Check his strikeouts to his hit see what the most is. Braves NEEDS A CHANGE……………………………….

MLB World Series Preview
Baseball fans, rejoice. The World Series is here.
The St. Louis Cardinals and the Texas Rangers hit their way through the playoffs and will collide in a best of seven series starting tonight at 8:05 p.m.
If you read my predictions from the MLB Playoff Preview a few weeks back, you'll notice that I predicted both teams to falter in the first round. (In my defense, the Rays had all that momentum from their seven-run comeback, and the Phillies were everybody's favorite). But predictions aside, this has been an outstanding postseason so far. Many of the games have come down to the wire, and fewer errors have consistently led to more victories. (How many errors did the Brewers make? It seemed like one an inning.)
And now we are down to the two contenders, the championship bout, the main event, the reason people come to the show—the 107thWorld Series. (I hope those clichés got you pumped.)
And with that, I wonder, are you pondering what I am pondering?
Here are seven things to ponder about the World Series…
1. Will the Rangers and Cardinals continue playing softball?
In the championship series, these two teams were scoring runs like they were playing softball, not baseball.
The Rangers scored seven or more in three of their wins. And in the clinching game, the Rangers knocked in 15 runs. But that's not all. Texas scored 39 runs for the entire series, and Nelson Cruz hit six home runs in one series, which is just incredible.
The Cardinals scored 43 runs in the NLCS. They scored 12 runs in both Game 2 and the clinching Game 6 and scored seven in Game 5.
For a league which has become so much in favor of the pitcher the last few seasons, this year's playoffs have seemed more like slow-pitch softball games.
2. Will anyone on any team pitch like an ace?
None of the Cardinals pitching staff were able to complete six innings during the NLCS. The starters pitched just 24 1/3 innings and recorded a 7.03 ERA. Chris Carpenter did, however, pitch an outstanding complete-game shutout against the Phillies in Game 5 of the NLDS, and the Cardinals have to hope he can regain that form.
The only Rangers pitcher to go at least six innings was C.J. Wilson in Game 5. And he gave up six earned runs, three homers and got the loss. The Rangers got zero wins from the starting pitching staff.
3. Will the bullpens hold up?
The Cardinals relievers threw 28 2/3 innings in the NLCS. The Rangers bullpen threw 28 1/3 innings in the ALCS. Since neither teams' starters were particularly great, the bullpens had to be, which begs the question: will they be tired?
4. Will home field advantage matter? The Wild Card winning St. Louis Cardinals can thank rival Brewer Prince Fielder for home-field advantage in this series. Prince was the MVP of the 2011 All-Star Game helping the National League gain home field advantage in the World Series. The pitchers will have to hit in four games (if necessary) in this series. It will be interesting to see if the Rangers staff is able to lay down bunts to move runners over or have decent at-bats at the plate.
5. Will we miss the TBS broadcast crew? TBS did a great job with their postseason coverage. They have Hall-of-Famers and All-Stars throughout their broadcast team. David Wells, Dennis Eckersley and Cal Ripken were the analysts in the studio. In the booth, Milwaukee Brewers announcer Brian Anderson handled play-by-play with the insightful John Smoltz and Ron Darling. And who doesn't love or at least find sideline reporter Craig Sager and his crazy suits entertaining?
But the World Series will be on FOX. Chris Rose and opinionated White Sox catcher A.J. Pierzynski on the pre-game show is great. But baseball fans have complained about FOX color analyst Tim McCarver so much that he is on the Mount Rushmore of AwfulAnnouncing.com. And I feel Joe Buck can often lack enthusiasm when calling the play-by-play.
So much of making three-hour baseball games enthralling can come down to the broadcasters' storytelling and joke-telling abilities (bad jokes in John Smoltz's case), especially during mundane innings.
Hearing former Red Sox manager Terry Francona with Joe Buck during the ALCS was outstanding during Games 1 and 2. It would be nice if they could have made it a three-man booth for the World Series…
6. Mystery vs. History
This isn't just the title of Monday's "How I Met Your Mother" episode; it applies to this season's World Series. The St. Louis Cardinals franchise is the second winningest franchise in all of baseball with 10 championships. Until last year, the Rangers had never even been to the World Series. Will this season be the one for Texas?
7. "Titletown"
This summer, the Dallas Mavericks won the NBA title in six games verses the Miami Heat. The Rangers are technically in Arlington, but can the Dallas area become the next Titletown, USA?
Something to mention that has been really cool about the Rangers playoff run has been the implementation of the Ginger Ale Celebration. Texas slugger Josh Hamilton's struggles with alcohol have been well documented (read his story from the May-June 2008 issue of Sports Spectrum here), and starting pitcher C.J. Wilson is a well-known straight-edger, so the Rangers whole team had dropped champagne in favor of ginger ale for their series winning clinchers. And that would be a pretty cool thing to see in a World Series winner.
Prediction: I really shouldn't make these considering that I whiffed in the Division Series, and I'm second to last in Sports Spectrum's NFL picks, but I will anyway. I think the St. Louis Cardinals will get Chris Carpenter back to form, and he will be the difference in the series, pitching Games 1, 4 and the clinching Game 7 in St. Louis (I actually haven't heard Cardinals manager Tony LaRussa's plans; I'm just guessing). People in Green Bay, Wis., and Gainesville, Fla., and wherever else they call themselves "Titletown" can rest easy because their nickname won't be challenged this year. Cards in 7.

Oh I might have to try that. Question, I don't have a food processor, do you think the blender will be fine?
- January 8, 2012 at 2:35 PM
- Eve Fox said...
Ruth, I think you could probably use the blender. You'll probably have to do the nuts in smaller batches to get them to grind down into a paste is my guess.
- January 8, 2012 at 2:55 PM
- Julia said...
Actually, I don't think the blender will work. The blender needs liquid to get everything to puree and blend around.

I've made a nutella-like spread before. The recipe I used called for cocoa powder, not chocolate. Mine never set up like yours. If it bothers you, I'd totally suggest switching the chocolate for cocoa powder. You'll probably have to add a few tablespoons more oil to make the substitution work. Looks super delicious! :)
- January 28, 2012 at 10:55 AM
I have a question... Can this be canned in some way, like if I wanted to give it to family or friends or just wake larger batch and hoard it all for myself? :) just curious
- February 5, 2012 at 8:07 AM
- Eve Fox said...
I am afraid that I don't know of a way to truly can it (that does not mean it does not exist, though.) However, short of processing it, I imagine it will keep for quite a while if you keep it well-covered in the fridge. But I don't have any actual estimates for you on use by dates, unfortunately.

The African Development Bank is to start arranging project finance jointly with commercial banks, and selling maturing debt in its portfolio, as it battles to bridge a vast gap between Africa's infrastructure needs and lenders' weak appetites
The AfDB is to start arranging project finance jointly with commercial banks, and selling maturing debt in its portfolio, as it battles to bridge a vast gap between Africas infrastructure needs and lenders weak appetites.
Tim Turner, the AfDBs head of private sector operations, told Emerging Markets in an interview that the two initiatives would boost the banks ability to make projects it is working on creditworthy.
The AfDB will later this year lead a E430 million syndicated loan deal to finance a wind power project in Turkana, Kenya. It will lend E100 million itself and arrange a E330 million syndicated loan, he said. The bank is also developing a syndicated loan structure for the Egyptian Refining Company.
Our operations are a drop in the ocean given the vast infrastructure needs so they need to focus primarily on demonstrating and catalyzing private sector appetite for African projects, Turner said.
The AfDBs objective in selling to commercial banks maturing debt in its loan portfolio such as projects in the operating stage that are generating stable cash-flows is to free up new capital for infrastructure.
The business model of development finance institutions will need to change. The classic model of originating loans and placing them on your books needs to be adapted to free up resources and encourage private sector participation, Turner said.
In the 2010 fiscal year, 40% of an estimated $2 billion of new lending will be in infrastructure, 30% in industries and services and 30% in financial services.
Turner said the composition of investments will not change in the next three years, but the AfDBs expected 200% capital increase will allow it to expand investments by 5% to 10% annually from the projected $2-2.5 billion in 2011.
The AfDB will also seek to increase lending to low-income countries from 40% to 50-60% of its overall investments in this three-year period, he said.
Research published in November from the World Bank-backed Infrastructure Consortium for Africa said that sub-Saharan Africa needed to double infrastructure spending to $93 billion a year to upgrade roads, water and power networks. But the high cost of bank capital and new financial regulations have reduced Western bank appetite.
Bill Appleby, Citis head of infrastructure and energy finance for Europe, Middle East and Africa, said: The most significant change to the project finance market has been the reduction in the number of players and consequent reduction in capacity.
Many banks have struggled through 2008-09, and now they have more aversion to committing long-term capital. The multilateral agencies and export credit agencies are more important.
Citing Citigroup and HSBCs African infrastructure finance business, Turner said: These banks see the attractive margins and fee-generating opportunities in Africa and so I expect them to come back and commit financing though it will take time for them to return.
The African Financing Partnership set up by the AfDB and the Canadian International Development Agency, to coordinate project finance initiatives with other development finance institutions is leading to a greater harmonization of due diligence and environmental standards that is speeding up project approvals, its coordinator, Preeti Sinha, said.
The European Bank for Reconstruction and Development is staging its annual meeting in Warsaw in a year that marks a number of important anniversaries for Poland, Eastern Europe and for the EBRD itself
A leading politician in Georgia last night condemned Russia's annexation of Crimea and intervention in Ukraine as fears mounted among other small CEE states, notably Lithuania and Estonia, that Moscow could take fresh steps to intervene in countries with large Russian speaking populations

The EBRD will take on Libya as a member this week but analysts are warning that the multilateral may be biting off more than it can chew
Debt levels are still too high and some are rising again. Equities and bonds sell at dangerously high prices. The conditions required for another crisis are with us.

I'm with flux and have finished soldering the MIDIpal, but there is something wrong because my old steam punk RS-232 AVRISP can't seem to program the ATMega328p. Will have to do some continuity testing to find some clue to what can be wrong. First impressions after building a whole SMT/SMD thing is that it is fairly easy but a bit slower than THM. But with good light, magnification and a lot of flux it's quite doable and a satisfying experience. We'll see if I'm as pleased after I find what is wrong...

Despite shooting his worst round of the tournament on Sunday, Scotland's Stephen Gallacher became the first golfer to win back-to-back Dubai Desert Classic titles.
The 39-year-old turned in a final round score of 72 to finish the tournament at 16-under par. Argentina's Emiliano Grillo, fueled by a blistering round of 66, finished in second at 15-under for the tournament. Tied one stroke behind Grillo were France's Romain Wattel and Brooks Koepka of the United States. Four golfers finished in a tie for fifth at 13-under.
Gallacher was honest when he discussed his performance with reporters:
My emotions are gone, I'm a nervous wreck. I never really played the front nine that well all week. No one was racing ahead, that was the key, if someone had come out of the traps maybe it would have been different (Reuters).
Gallacher began the day with a slight lead over Rory McIlroy, but the 24-year-old also struggled on Sunday, shooting a round of 74 to finish the tournament in a tie for ninth.

Two 8 gauge inputs
They actually mean,
One 3 gauge output
One 5/6 gauge output
Two 9/10 gauge output.
Spend the extra 10$ and get a good name brand because i couldnt fit any of my power wires in this...

|The perfect solution with one caveat
Review by
John from North Fort Myers, FL
This is a really nice clean solution but I found the wire openings to be very tight for the gauge of wire that it was rated for. I went ahead and found the drill bit that fit the hole then went one size up and drilled them out just a little. Worked perfectly and made the install much smoother. I REALLY like it except for the snug wire holes.

I've had better but overall its a good product. Screws strip easy though so watch out. And the accepting holes are off by at least a gauge size.

Beer for Kids?!
Ever worry that your kiddos will feel left out during a celebratory toast? Well, apparently the people in Japan do!
That's why they made "Kodomo no nomimono" -- a kids' beverage that looks an awful lot like something straight out of "Cheers." Before you panic, it's non-alcoholic and tastes supersweet. But, fill a tall glass with it, and the amber brown color and frothy foam mimics the real thing. There's just something not right about little Timmy kicking back a cold one.
Do you think this sends kids the wrong message, or is this nothing more than our version of sparkling apple cider? You decide.
This is just another reason why Japan differs from us greatly. They probably didn't think 'this may send the wrong message to the youth' because not as many things are taboo in Japan. Some company just thought kids would like to pretend like they're grown ups and drink fake beer. Its just like those candy cigarettes we had when we were growing up. I loved them when I was a kid and I don't smoke now, so I don't think this product is the beginning of a drunken child-nation in the far east.
