Was thinking recently, and I came up with an idea... Is it feasible, or ludicrous??
1. Buy Nagant 7.62x29 revolver.
2. Duplicate the wheel 1cm longer, or get a spare wheel and use a 1mm end piece and taper a bit wider at the end...
3. elongate the frame 1cm for fitting said wheel.
4. Run 7.62x39!!!
Would it work?
My theory behind this:
7.62x29 and 7.62x39 seem to be no different aside from the round and the length of the case... They both seem to have the same taper to the case, and dimensions aside from length. Also, the bullets between the two are a bit different, but I wouldn't think any (or much) different in width...
So in theory, all it'd take to chamber 7.62x39 in the Nagant revolver is a longer mag wheel...
Maybe I'm just a n00bsauce and need a good cartridge lecture... If that's the case, please teach me!

California Gamers Caught "In the Demon's Hand"
Capcom's Spawn Arcade Game Debuts in Long Beach
November 17th, 1999
Todd McFarlane Productions was at the Fresh Tracks Snow & Skateboard Expo in Long Beach, California. At the event, the public got the very first opportunity to play Capcom's new game, "Spawn: In the Demon's Hand." This stand-up arcade game may also be translated into a Sega Dreamcast version for 2000 release and a PlayStation 2 version for 2001 release. At the event, the game will be set up in pairs, allowing up to four players to battle simultaneously.
"Spawn: In the Demon's Hand," is based on the incredibly popular comic book character of the same name, and was created in conjunction with Todd McFarlane Entertainment. Todd McFarlane and TME's President Terry Fitzgerald are the game's executive producers. Spawn allows for up to four players to play the game simultaneously, using four linked coin-operated cabinets, for an all out, four-way battle.
Utilizing the power of Sega's Naomi board, Spawn features unmatched game graphics and intense action. All of the characters and backgrounds in Spawn are polygonal, enabling the characters to move any direction and view items from any angle. The in-game camera is positioned directly behind the character and changes at key moments, increasing the cinematic feel of the game. Spawn features 'Team versus Team' mode which allows players to battle against friends or CPU teammates / opponents. Each character has their own unique ending that holds true to Todd McFarlane's storyline.
"Capcom has developed an amazing game," said Todd McFarlane, the creative force behind the Spawn character. "Their design team has truly captured all that is Spawn's world, including the central characters and story line and brought it to life in a really cool interactive 3-D environment."

Bread, wine and cheese, the Frenchman's favorite meal, I kid you not. How often does this make a meal in our home, with the addition of fresh fruit at the end? In winter, add a steaming, warming bowl of soup. In summer, a cool salad. But really, even those are not necessary for my Frenchmen to be happy and satisfied. Bread, wine and cheese.
Many moons ago, I worked in culinary tourism in Paris. A tour guide and interpreter, I brought clients through the best restaurant in the city, cheese and wine shops, visits with chefs, cooking demos and wine tastings. I loved my job. One of the classes my boss offered was a bread, cheese and wine pairing session. We picked up a selection of cheeses from one of the remaining two cheese shops in Paris that still had its own aging cellar; we picked up a fabulous selection of breads from Lionel Poilâne's famous boulangerie and wines from a shop owned by an Englishman. We (for I learned alongside the students) learned not only in what order cheeses should be eaten, but how each cheese (round, wedge or chunk) was to be sliced, which bread (baguette, compagne, dark, loaf with nuts and dried fruits, etc) paired best with which cheese and, of course, the ideal wine to accompany which bread and cheese combination.
And, married to a Frenchman, living in France, I have put all that I learned to practice each and every day. Bread, wine and cheese.
So what a welcome surprise was this month's Bread Baking Babes challenge recipe from hostess Tanna of My Kitchen in Half Cups. A Beaujolais Bread, shaped into rolls and formed into a gorgeous bunch of grapes. The wine incorporated right into the bread, the better to be served and eaten with a platter of cheeses.
These wonderful, earthy rolls are infused with wine, creating the perfect bread to be paired with cheese. And charcuterie. Dense and chewy, perfectly so, the wine gives the bread a faint rye flavor, or something close to it, deeper and just darker than a plain roll, making it perfect, flavorful enough as a backdrop for salty or smoky cured hams or salamis or a wide range of cheese from tangy goat to nutty hard cheeses such as comté, gruyere or beaufort or salty, creamy blue cheeses. And the beautiful grape shape makes this bread perfect for a party… not only is it pretty but everyone breaks off "grapes" as they desire.
And do visit my fellow Bread Baking Babes to see how their loaves turned out – and you may very well pick up tips and advice on perfecting this recipe (many are experts in all things bread):

From A Passion for Bread: Lessons from a Master Baker by Lionel Vatinet
Yields 16 bread rolls (one grape cluster)
3 ½ cups (16 oz / 455 g) white bread flour, unbleached, unbromated
1 1/8 tsps (7 g) fine sea or table salt
1 ½ tsps (5 g – I used 7 g) instant dry yeast
1 Tbs (21 g) honey
1 ¼ cups + 2 Tbs (320 g) Beaujolais or other red wine (should be around 82° - 84° F)
1 cup (115 g) salami cut into ¼ inch cube, optional (I also think coarsely chopped walnuts would be a great replacement for the salami)
Measure all dry ingredients into a large bowl. Add the honey to the dry ingredients and using your hands bring loosely together then form a well in the center.
Add the wine to the well in a slow steady stream as you rotate the bowl with one hand while simultaneously mixing the wine into the dry ingredients with your other hand. Frequently scrape your fingers and the bowl to gather all ingredients into the dough ball. The dough will be soft, slightly wet, extremely sticky and should pull away from the sides of the bowl, just coming together to form a dough. The dough will be very sticky; do not give into the temptation to add more flour.
Turn the dough out onto the counter. (I actually "kneaded" the dough in the bowl, which I found much easier.)
Knead the wet dough: Hold hands, palms facing up, at opposite sides of the dough mass. Slide your fingers under the dough and lift the dough an inch or so from the surface. Squeeze your thumbs and index fingers together to form a tight OK sign through the dough. While holding the OK sign, continue to curl thumbs and index fingers tightly together to pinch off a portion of dough. Working as quickly and smoothly as possible, moving the dough mass in approximately 1 to 1.5 inch increments, until the entire dough mass has been worked through. You should begin to feel the dough coming together.
*(Now you understand why I just worked the dough for this first knead in the bowl, turning the bowl clockwise – away from me – with my left hand, flipping, folding and kneading the dough towards me with the right.)
Turn dough a quarter turn and continue lifting, pinching and turning until it begins to take on an identifiable shape and becomes less and less sticky; taking anywhere from 5 to 15 minutes (I worked it for about 10 minutes). Resist the urge to add flour. A scraper is useful in collecting all the dough off the work area. Consider the dough kneaded when it forms into a ball. The dough should be soft, pliable and hold it's shape; it should not be stiff and dry.
Form dough into a ball: using both hands, lift front and fold over, quickly dropping it down to the counter. Repeat 4-5 times until a ball is formed. Use the scraper to ensure all the dough is gathered.
Using the palms of your hands, flatten the dough ball into a rectangle. Scatter the salami evenly down the middle. Wrap the sides up and over salami, pinch dough together, turn and repeat until the salami is incorporated. Form into a ball. Again lifting from the front, fold it over onto itself in one movement then dropping down onto the counter. Repeat 4 to 5 times until ball forms. Using your scraper to be sure all the dough is gathered.
The dough should no longer be sticky. If it continues to be sticky repeat the folding process until it is no longer sticky.
The wine will extend fermentation to about 3 hours, divided into 3 hour-long "rises" with folding in between:
Place the dough in a clean glass bowl large enough to allow the dough to rise without coming in contact with the lid. Taking care to maintain the round shape, transfer the ball to the bowl and cover the container (I covered with plastic wrap and then a clean kitchen towel. Fermentation will take about one hour in a warm 75° to 80° F draft free place.
At the end of the hour, dust the counter lightly with flour. Place the dough onto floured counter. Pat into a thick square. Lift the two right corners and fold into the center patting the seam lightly. Lift the left two corners and fold into the center lightly patting the seam down. Repeat with the top two corners and the bottom two corners meeting in the middle patting down the seams. Return the dough to the bowl seam side down, cover and return to a warm draft free place for another hour.
Repeat this process one more time. The total rising or fermentation time will be 3 hours.
Flour the counter. Scrape the dough onto the counter and allow to rest 30 seconds. If the dough is very sticky at this point dust your hands with flour but do not add additional flour. Use the bench scraper to lift the dough if it sticks to the counter but do not pull and do not stretch the dough. Press the dough into a rectangle 12 inches by 4 to 5 inches wide. Be sure the dough is not sticking to the counter by lifting it to gently up. Cut the dough into 16 equal pieces with the bench scraper.
Shape the dough: Line a large baking sheet with parchment paper or a silicone liner.
Roll 15 of the pieces of dough into small ball shapes for rolls, the last piece will become the grapevine. Create a triangle by setting four balls together in a line followed by a line of three balls then two balls and finally one ball. Angle the remaining four balls to one side of the triangle so that the entire piece resembles a large cluster of grapes with the smaller one to the side.
Shape the last piece of dough into a rope about 10 inches long and shape it into a curved grape vine shape that you attach to the top of the grape cluster. Dust with flour.
Final Fermentation: Allow the dough to rest for 60 – 90 minutes in a warm, draft-free place. Determine the dough is ready to be baked by uncovering and making a small indentation in the center of one of the rolls with your fingertip; the dough is ready to be baked if the indentation slowly and evenly disappears.
Preheat the oven to 450°F (230°C). If using a baking stone, slide the stone in the oven with the rack at the lowest level.
Vatinet recommends covering the entire grape shape with a large stainless steel mixing bowl or rectangular baking pan. Slide the baking sheet into the oven onto the preheated baking stone. Bake covered for 10 minutes then remove the bowl/pan and continue to bake until the bread is golden brown has a thick crust, total additional time 15 to 20 minutes. The total time then would be 25 to 30 minutes.
When fully baked transfer to cooling rack for at least one hour to cool.

The Manchester City striker has been back in his native Italy for the birth of his daughter ahead of Sunday's derby with Manchester United.
The Rossoneri were said to be keen to bring the Italy international back to his homeland, according to media reports.
However, Berlusconi has moved quickly to deny the speculation, telling Sky Sport Italia: "My words have been misinterpreted. I do not dream about Balotelli at night.
"There are no negotiations going on because he will cost too much and we cannot afford him."
The 22-year-old has also been linked with a move back to his former club Inter Milan as well as champions Juventus, although City have always insisted he is not for sale.

Chicks for Charity event to benefit boxing clubWritten by Brigitta Burks | News Editor | email@example.com
Toledo women of all ages will gather July 11 to attend Chicks Mix '12, a night of mingling and fun. Proceeds from the event benefit IBC Beat the Streets (International Boxing Club/Institute for Building Careers).
The event is put on by Chicks for Charity, a group that picks a new charity to support every two years. Women and girls do all kinds of things to raise money during that time, from bake sales to card games, said Sue Hague-Rogers and Rita Mansour, "Chicks in Charge."
"You have women there that have millions of dollars and you have little girls who have $20 that they've worked weeks for," said Mansour, a partner at Thomas McDonald Partners and head of Mansour Wealth Management.
Martha Vetter, president of R-P Marketing Public Relations, started Chicks for Charity in 2006. Hague-Rogers and Mansour have been involved since then and what began as a group of 100 now has about 1,800 "chicks."
"It brought the walls down for all those people who may just want to put their toe into it and contribute and feel good, whatever that means," said Hague-Rogers, senior exhibit specialist for 2020 Exhibits, a local exhibit production company.
"The whole idea that it didn't matter how much you gave, it was really good. It was a spectrum of teaching little girls to adult women the art of giving," Mansour said.
The group raised $65,000 for IBC in 2011. IBC provides free programming like boxing, sports, leadership training and homework help to give city youth an alternative to drugs and violence. The nonprofit recently collaborated with Beat the Streets, a national nonprofit that promotes wrestling as another alternative. It also recently moved to a new facility on Earlwood Avenue and expanded its services to include more girls.
The kids involved with IBC have continually impressed Mansour and Hague-Rogers. "Their demeanor and how they greeted you, it was like 'Wow'," Mansour said.
Picking a new charity to support every two years is the hardest part for Mansour and Hague-Rogers. In the fall, the chicks will select 10 charities from several applicants before narrowing them down to three. A new charity will be named around December.
A charity's involvement with Chicks for Charity provides more funds and increased visibility.
"A lot of these organizations are more grassroots and they don't get the exposure," Mansour said. R-P's involvement with Chicks for Charity helps, she added.
"Martha and her team will never tell you this, but they put so many man hours, woman hours, chick hours, behind this," she said.
At Chicks Mix '12 several items will be up for auction and raffle. These include a one-week stay at a villa in Puerto Rico complete with free surfing lessons and a Chicago weekend with tickets to "Dreamgirls." A "College Chick" basket with university essentials is also available. IBC will also present while men tend the bar.
"You can take your daughter, niece, mom. I take my mom every year," Hague-Rogers said. Six hundred women attended the event last year.
To learn more or join Chicks for Charity, visit www.chicksforcharity.net/become.html. Chicks Mix '12 is 5:30-9 p.m. at the Toledo Botanical Garden, 5403 Elmer Drive. It costs $37 to attend for general admission and $20 for those 20 and younger. Tickets are available at the door, although reservations are preferred. Call (419) 241-2221 or email firstname.lastname@example.com for tickets.
To donate to IBC, visit www.ibcprograms.org/. Check donations are not made to Chicks for Charity, but directly to IBC.

Ina Miles has been a giver all her life.
Since 1954, she's dished up hot coffee, good groceries and a heaping side of religion at The 2nd Mile Coffee Shop and Variety Store, where highways 527 and 377 fork. Around 1995, Ina and her husband, the late Lavern "Vern" Miles transformed what was a gas station/grocery store into a haven for musicians and every third Friday of each month the sound of gospel music and the voices of the spiritually filled flood the night sky. After Vern's passing she went a step further to include a "prayer camp" where the community is invited to pray and enjoy Bible study.
But two months ago the music and the praying stopped. In April, a contractor who was paid a hefty sum of money to fix leaks came in; mangled air-conditioning ducts; then walked away - never to be heard from again. Since then the weather has taken its toll on the building that has withstood hurricanes and ice storms. Rotting ceiling tiles lay crumbled on the floor, water pools in drainage traps and the carpet is rotting.
The less-than-ideal conditions haven't dampened Miles' spirit. She continues to hold prayer meetings and depends on her faith, family and friends to see her through. Her grandson has offered to help but the work will be expensive.
Please turn to INA, 4
Ina from page, 1
"He's helping me but I'll just have to do it as I can," said the soft-spoken 81-year-old.
Her prayers are being answered. Miles was in for a surprise when on July 1, the community came together to provide financial support.
The members will also reach out to their respective churches for support as well. The outpouring of love made Miles cry.
"I don't know what to say," said Miles who could only thank the group - and God - over and over again.
"Ya'll have really been a joy and a blessing to me."
The group returned the salutation for opening her business and her heart to them.
"We have really enjoyed it," said Bible teacher Nadine Gause "This has been a place where everybody loves everybody and we feel the real presence of a living God."
Gause then led the group in prayer and songs of praise that very well may have reached the heavens.

Sat, May 26th, 2012, 11am to 11.45am PST – we will be broadcasting LIVE! (as long as the internet connection is strong enough)
Join me for this LIVE netcast celebrating my newest book "Ani's 15-Day Fat Blast". This event is being broadcast from 11 to 11.45am PST on Sat May 26th, 2012 from San Francisco, CA.
Please stop by if you're in the SF embarcadero area:
I'm starting to netcast for the first time again since I conceived of and executive produced 'Fiber' back in 1995, before ISDN or T1 were available! 'Fiber' was the World's 1st online fashion show event ever, and it was broadcast over copper phone lines to the Mbone at UC Berkeley, CA, and then out to the world!
Thanks for joining me here and for helping me celebrate my newest book "Ani's 15-Day Fat Blast"! Love you all xo, ani
On May 19. 2011 I got to visit Seattle along my tour for Ani's Raw Food Asia. First stop was with host Margaret Larson at King 5 TV's NewDay Northwest Show. Everyone in the studio audience received a copy of Ani's Raw Food Asia.
Next was Evergreen Radio's Kitchen Corner Show where I had a pleasantly challenging conversation with host Jo Ann Henderson. Jo was skeptical at first, but I hope I was able to convince her that raw foods are simply a way to enjoy more whole, fresh, organic ingredients.
At the same time, another pre-recorded radio program aired on Seattle radio where I spoke with host Keesha Ewers on her Healthy You! Radio Show.
By lunch I was hungry for some local raw food treats, and we stopped at Thrive Cafe for a meet-and-great and book signing, and they fed me delicious salad, green juice, and desserts.
Next stop was KOMO Newsradio where we aired during afternoon drive-time traffic. The hosts Herb Weisbaum & Jane Shannon are already into raw foods, and were already making their own kale chips. I love how main stream kale chips have become!
Our final destination for the day was the Woodmark Hotel and Yacht Club in Kirkland, on the lake. This was the view from my room, you can see snow topped mountains in the distance.
The Woodmark Hotel hosted what they call "Happy Hour and a Half". They made 2 recipes from Ani's Raw Food Asia, I gave a talk, answered questions, and then signed books. It was another clear, sunny, dry, warm day in the Seattle. After this final event, I went on a long walk along the lake front. The air was fresh, clean, and crisp. And I felt grateful for all the wonderful people who welcomed me to their beautiful city.
This was the awesome lady who made this day happen for me, Joy. In addition to shuttling me around town, she also hooked me up with a food assistant so that I didn't have to carry all my food, plates, props with me on the airplane! Plus, she kept the car stocked with cut, prepared veggies of all sorts for me to snack on all day long.
This was Joy's assistant Lee, who had shopped for props and ingredients, and helped me prep for my TV appearance. Thank you Joy and Lee!! You've officially spoiled me.
Watch my debut on Los Angeles TV with ABC 7′s Health Coach Lori Corbin. I show her 5 raw food recipes that have gone mainstream including my Zucchini Pasta (featured in Food Network Magazine), Nut Mylks (like Almond Milk), Green Smoothies, Kale Chips (from Ani's Raw Food Essentials), and Seaweed Chips (from Ani's Raw Food Asia).
Watch the 3-minute video, and learn how raw foods helps with weight loss too!
I was honored to have been invited to speak on a panel with superstars (from left to right above) Rachelle Carson Begley (married to Ed Begley), Sophie Uliano (NYTimes best selling author), Izabella Miko (actress), Carly Harrill (blogger ghost writer), Karen Stewart Brown (fashion designer), Kris Willey (host of WotGG), and Alexandra Spunt (author).
The focus of this panel was how we came into our careers. I explained how I used to work in a corporate environment that was not recycling, was wasting energy, and was using styrofoam cups for one 4 ounce shot of water. I realized my raw food catering and the weekly events I was hosting (to feed myself good food) was a successful business. So, I decided to leave corporate America to focus 100% on my prepared packaged foods, catering, and events. I followed my bliss because I believed raw foods helped people feel better and healthier. It also helps us tread lightly on our Planet.
This event was held in Culver City, Los Angeles, CA on Saturday May 14, 2011. These beautiful photos are courtesy of photosbyKailas.com. Thanks Kailas!
The 1st stop along my book tour for Ani's Raw Food Asia was at Santa Monica Place at Artisanal LA on April 16, 2011. Here are 4 short videos from my talk, Q+A, and book signing:
1) Ani's Raw Food Asia – I love organic, local, seasonal foods
2) Ani's Raw Food Asia – Probiotics, Happiness, Longevity
3) Ani's Raw Food Asia – Easy ways to add more raw to any diet!
4) Ani's Raw Food Asia – Recipe inspirations and sources for protein.
I had so much fun celebrating the pre-launch of Ani's Raw Food Asia at Artisanal LA in Santa Monica.
All of these beautiful photos were taken by the amazing Sherman Lee. Thanks Sherman!!
It was a weekend full of local and seasonal gourmet foods (though way too much bacon! – what's up with bacon these days?) and great expert panels and talks.
I love this fish eye photo, it was a full crowd with great people old and new to raw foods and the raw food diet and lifestyle. Thanks to the wonder woman organizer Shawna Dawson for all her support, for announcing my talk over the loud speaker, and for putting me and Ani's Raw Food Asia in their printed program.
Q+A is my favorite part of my appearances because I get to listen and interact with my new friends.
It's always so nice to have my brother Max and my family with me at my events.
This lovely lady kept asking me about how to learn to make raw food. I say if you're interested in making food, you have to learn how to make all foods first. Then you can translate it into raw food prep.
Libby drove all the way up from San Diego with her friends just to grab an early copy of Ani's Raw Food Asia.
Please check my homepage and also my calendar of events for upcoming events and stops along my book tour. Hope to see you all very soon. xoxo
Grab a copy of the April 2011 issue of Delicious Living Magazine and enjoy my Raw Power cover feature with 6 raw food recipes for a preview of the flavors I'll be bringing you in my newest East West Fusion raw food book Ani's Raw Food Asia, available everywhere May 10, 2011.
A super easy salad to make, this is my go to when traveling. Made by massaging avocado into torn leaves of kale and then adding a squeeze of lemon to soften the leaves, and then tossing in sprouts.
Full of vitamins, minerals, chlorophyll, and antioxidants to combat travel stress (including time zone changes, sitting on airplanes, and living in hotel rooms) while boosting my immune system. I carried this yummy creation onto my last flight from NJ to LA, and took it with me to Las Vegas for my raw food debut at ACAM's medical conference at the Paris Hotel last week, where they served up 5 of my raw food vegan recipes to over 500 doctors!
Kale, Avocado, Sprouts
Into large mixing bowl, place kale and massage with avocado. Squeeze lemon juice, and massage. Add sprouts and salt, if using. Massage and toss to mix well.
Will keep for several hours at room temperature. Store in fridge for a day or 2.
It was Kanga's 8th 'birthday' and also our anniversary on Labor Day. Each year, I make my darling pooch a heart shaped cake (you may have seen the photo from last year's birthday on page 301 of Ani's Raw Food Essentials). This year, the cake was made with sunflower seeds and a few Medjool dates. Kanga was so eager to eat it, she got green birthday candle wax on the tip of her nose….so cute!
In a blink of an eye, the cake was gone! And, I wonder if you can guess who's in the background with her 'magic' tatoos….hint….London and the UK.
For our birthday ladies' luncheon, I made Jicama Rice, Mexican style by processing Jicama, then adding chopped red bell peppers, onion, corn kernels, cilantro, and a pinch of sea salt. Recipe below…. It was a lunch of British guests, one of whom is a celiac. That means she needs to avoid wheat gluten. I love that about the raw food diet, it's free of wheat, gluten, refined sugar, dairy, and guilt!
I had made myself a beet, parsley, lemon, and cucumber juice earlier that morning, then mixed in the beet pulp with a sunflower pate. I used this pate to stuff poblano peppers, then dehydrated them for a few hours to soften. For a sauce, I blended a simple tahini with lemon juice, salt, splash of water.
This was the dessert my lovely friend Kate Magic made us for dessert! It was made with figs, cacao, coconut, and lucuma…and it was incredible! But this was one course poor Kanga didn't get to try (dogs and cacao don't mix well…chocolate).
Jicama Mexican Rice
Place jicama in food processor, process into small bits. Be careful not to over process. Scoop into mixing bowl. Add remaining ingredients, toss to mix well.

Place sunflower seeds in food processor. Process into small pieces. Add pitted dates, and process. Sunflower will stick together and bind into a cake 'dough'. Form dough into heart, and serve.
Note: Sweets should be served in moderation to dogs, as to humans as well.
If serving to humans or to mix up variations to this recipe, try adding in sea salt, vanilla, cacao / carob, and or goji berries.
I made several smoothies in San Diego on FOX TV including an Almond Buttered Banana Freeze.
Watch my 6-minute video segment here.
Almond Buttered Banana Freeze + Açaí Recipe (adapted from Ani's Raw Food Essentials) Makes 4 servings
Almonds provide calcium, protein, and vitamin E, bananas are loaded with potassium, and açaí is full of antioxidants and healthy omegas. This easy smoothie is a great post workout fuel – it helps increase circulation and blood flow to stressed muscles, while building lean tissue.
Combine the banana, almond butter, and organic Sambazon Açaí Juice in a high-speed blender and blend until smooth. Best served immediately, but will keep for a couple days in the fridge.
I'm using my favorite blender, the Personal Blender. It costs about $69, and you can find more about the Personal Blender and find organic ingredients at www.GoSuperLife.com.

It's about time someone created a tool to help new parents keep track of the overwhelming number of baby care details. Now someone has!
ITZBEEN Pocket Nanny was invented by a new mom and dad who found themselves sleep-deprived and needing help to remember baby care details like when their baby last ate or napped. They tried charts and journals but thought there had to be a better way, so they invented one. And alas, ITZBEEN was born. The ITZBEEN Pocket Nanny is a multi-purpose tool that helps you remember the basic details of baby care. It has four timers for changing, feeding, napping and more that count up with the touch of a button!
The ITZBEEN has several other helpful features including a nursing reminder switch that easily reminds mom which side baby nursed from last, a soft-glow nightlight to help parents find their way in the dark without waking the baby and a backlit display so parents can read the times and the clock in the dark. Plus, a back clip makes the ITZBEEN totally portable and allows for hands-free use of the nightlight!

Fact Sheet | Tanner EDA
Tanner EDA is a business unit of Tanner Research. It was founded in 1988 by Dr. John Tanner as a means to develop and market cost-effective, easyto- use EDA tools. Tanner had previously founded Stac Electronics, a company responsible for the introduction of a patented disk-doubler technology. Over the years, Tanner's extensive experience with ICs and other electronic components made it readily apparent that few flexible, affordable tools existed for the creation of innovative new products, thereby motivating the creation of Tanner EDA tools.
Tanner EDA is now the thriving core of an established corporation that employs 75 people and has experienced consistent annual growth of more than 25 percent. It is one of the largest software companies in the Los Angeles area and has received a number of awards, including being named to the Deloitte & Touche Fast 50 list of companies.
Tanner Research's other business unit, Tanner Laboratories, conducts advanced research and development under government contract with an emphasis on image processing and micro-electromechanical systems (MEMS) design and fabrication. Tanner Laboratories also has fabrication facilities for MEMS and other devices.
Other divisions include ClearSync, the online shared calendar system that syncronizes schedules on PC, web and mobile devices.
Tanner's fully-integrated solutions consist of tools for schematic entry, circuit simulation, waveform probing, full-custom layout editing, placement and routing, netlist extraction, LVS and DRC verification. Tanner EDA's innovative solutions are used in a range of applications in power management, next-generation wireless, consumer electronics, imaging, power management, biomedical, automotive and RF market segments.
Tanner's S-Edit™ schematic capture tool, has been completely rearchitected and rebuilt into a new tool with user interface, performance and interoperability enhancements added. S-Edit supports integrated analog simulation with automatic conversion from Cadence® and ViewDraw® schematics. Users can run simulations and cross-probe from S-Edit, making the design process real-time and more efficient. The ability to view operating point simulation results directly on the schematic is another S-Edit productivity enhancing feature, plus multiple libraries and language support for English, Chinese, Russian and Japanese, all combine to deliver a comprehensive and interactive design environment.
The T-Spice™ Circuit Simulator product delivers highly accurate results by supporting the latest foundry models, along with state-of-the-art numerical methods. T-Spice offers options and commands not found in Berkeley SPICE or most derivatives, such as design optimization, Monte Carlo analysis, multi-dimensional parameters, source and temperature sweeping. Tightly integrated with Tanner EDA's S-Edit schematic entry and W-Edit waveform probing tools, T-Spice provides the highest level of complexity for modeling and analysis.
Tanner's L-Edit® tools for physical design product features integrated solutions for layout editing, verification, placement and routing of Analog/Mixed-Signal ICs and MEMS. Its intuitive and customizable interface minimizes the user's learning curve. Plus its fast rendering - the fastest on the market - significantly speeds the design cycle.
The HiPer Verify® product automates design rule checking (DRC) for deep submicron manufacturing. Foundry-compatible rule support allows it to run Calibre® and Dracula® foundry files natively, without conversion or modification. Plus it tightly integrates into the L-Edit environment, allowing design rule violations to be identified and repaired early before they become a major problem.
Tanner EDA tools are used by more than 30,000 engineers for Analog/ Mixed-Signal ICs and MEMS devices. Customers such as Phillips, Catalyst Semiconductor, Honeywell, Jet Propulsion Laboratory, NEC, Ricoh Company Ltd., Sarnoff Corporation, Xerox Corporation and others rely on these tools to help them speed from concept to silicon efficiently. Some of the products designed with Tanner EDA tools include imaging technology for the Mars Rover, components for Bluetooth peripherals and thermal management sensors for cell phones and notebook PCs.
Tanner EDA is headquartered in Monrovia, Calif. It sells its products directly in North America, Japan and Taiwan, and through distributors in Europe, China, Singapore, Malayasia, Indonesia, Hong Kong, India, and Israel.

Silver-tone metal chainlink fringed collar necklace with metal coin detailing. Hook and eye closure.
*By Chanour

Measurements:Total Length: 20"
Drop: 5"
Rated 4.8 out of 5Â by 42 reviewers.
Rated 5 out of 5Â by noish Works with anything! Never in my life would I ever think of spending anything over $30 or $40 on a necklace, and especially not this much! This necklace, however, was so unbelievably gorgeous that I decided to get it. I am so pleased I did! It goes with everything and makes any ordinary outfit look amazing. Looks perfect over shirts, singlets, dresses or jumpers - can be worn casually or dressed up for the occasion. I bought the silver colour and it is even more lovely in person, the engravings are stunning and the entire piece brightens up my skin! It is weighty (in a good way) and sits firmly on your chest too. 6.27.2013
Rated 5 out of 5Â by sashacharnin The Coin Collar Great great necklace. It's more than a statement. People have stopped me in other retail stores asking where I got it. I bought the silver and really like the fact that i can and should wear with anything from a tshirt to a jersey dress to an evening look. It's very rich. And have always thought that jewelry like this is timeless and chic. Add the dangling coins-and you get some extra bang. I wore mine with a another piece from Free People that embroidered jacket with the camou print. Love the mix. 6.21.2013
Rated 5 out of 5Â by KarmaQueen Worth IT !!!!! This necklace is beautiful and well made. It has a little bit of weight to it but nothing noticeable when you wear it. Everywhere I go I get compliments and people comment on its uniqueness. I absolutely love it!!!! 4.25.2013
Rated 5 out of 5Â by lizzieu Gorgeous One of my favorites necklaces I own. Goes with everything, will make any outfit stand out. Beautiful! 3.6.2013
Rated 3 out of 5Â by cvalentine love lovvvve 3.27.2013
Rated 5 out of 5Â by taytum beautiful, looks expensive this necklace is amazing. i got it in the silver and it really brightens up my skin. it looks like an authentic piece of jewelry made by some ancient tribe. in actuality it's made in turkey out of turkish coins. it's weighty and looks very expensive. i'm not normally a jewelry person, but i will find excuses to wear this. the one bad part-- the clasp is just a hook- it seems not smart for such a heavy necklace. i will probably take it to a jeweler and have it replaced with a real clasp. 6.13.2013
Rated 5 out of 5Â by Chelseaa Very authentic looking Another rave review on this necklace. I love how much of a statement it is. I have a pretty basic style. Jeans and t-shirt girl here! This necklace instantly adds interest and makes an outfit look so thought out. It looks very authentic - I've had people ask me if I got it in India or Morocco or some other country. Feels pretty heavy, which is good because that means it's well made and will last! I'm pretty petite and I don't think the size of it overwhelms me. 8.30.2014
Rated 5 out of 5Â by jamila20- Stunning necklace I saw on instagram someone wearing this necklace and it just caught my eye. It looks interesting and unique. Works with everything and looks beautiful. I haven't seen the same necklace with many so it definitely stands out from those necklaces that stores are selling everywhere at the moment. The price is a bit high but worth it! This necklace has so many details and the weight of it just makes you feel you are wearing something very valuable. I absolutely love this necklace! i recommend it for everyone. 7.4.2014

So I loved the book. I was so mad whenI actually shouted out; "NO!" and slammed my hand on the book. I was that moved.
Beaver died
The intricacies of the Dream Catcher being the minds of the boys was well done. I felt a little more explanation could've been given, but I got the idea. The chase scene is monumental in the book and ends on a sad note. In the movie, you get a campy twisted, straight-from-left-field version that left me wanting to tear into the movie screen. Also, right when the helicopters take off to give chase, I felt like a new director had taken over and the movie switches tones almost entirely. I know of no one who thought the movie was good. Which IS a shame because I felt like the 1st 45 minutes of the film were perfect! Right down to the cabin and how it looked on the inside! I kid you not; it looked almost exactly what I had pictured when I read the words on the page.
I think, given money and time, take that 1st 45 minutes and redo the 2nd half of the movie. It could be done.

Dana White: 'Mark Hunt proved everyone wrong' to become 'one of the greatest stories in sports right now' - Bloody Elbow
On Thursday, Dana told MMA Junkie what he thinks of "The Super Samoan's" renaissance:
He felt very disrespected and felt like he never really belonged here," White said. "He had a losing record in PRIDE and we didn't want to bring him into the UFC, so we said, 'We'll pay you the money and you can ride off into the sunset and do your thing.' And he was like, 'F--- that. I want to be paid to fight.' First of all, a losing record, his age, the guy hadn't fought in a long time. It just made no sense to bring the guy in.
Even though we weren't wrong (about not wanting him at first), we ended up being wrong. He proved us wrong, he proved everybody who doubted him wrong. We just didn't cut him, we kept him and imagine if we had cut him.
Since that day, how we didn't want him, and just wanted to pay him and have him basically go away, he took incredible offense to that and never felt like he really belonged here," White said. "I understand that. I said, 'I'll fix the things that made you feel this way. You're right, and I'm sorry this happened to you. We do respect you and I think you're one of the greatest stories in sports right now, to be honest with you.' So I got everything worked out and now he's ecstatic and I'm happy I could do it.

And Daniel Griswold of the libertarian Cato Institute writes in a 2007 report, "The Fiscal Impact of Immigration Reform: The Real Story," that it would be misleading to "count the costs of educating the children of an immigrant without considering the future taxes paid by the educated children once they have grown and entered the workforce."
Educated voices of reason are drowned out by FAIR's populist appeal. If you want to measure the group's effectiveness at convincing Americans that illegal immigrants are an undue burden on taxpayers, consider this: U.S. Senator Lindsey Graham of South Carolina, a staunch supporter a few months ago of legalizing the undocumented already in the United States, now seeks hearings on whether their kids should be citizens.
"People come here to have babies," he told Fox News in July. "They come here to drop a child."
His assertion that parents illegally enter the United States just to pop out "anchor babies" to obtain parental green cards makes no sense.
First, under current immigration law, undocumented parents would have to wait for their "anchor babies" to reach adulthood before they could legally apply for parental green cards.
Second, if the parents live illegally in the United States, immigration authorities generally require that they return to Mexico and stay there for 10 years before the U.S. government will consider giving them green cards.
But this doesn't stop Graham's bluster. He's even hinted that he might introduce legislation to change the 14th Amendment to the Constitution, which grants citizenship to most children born on American soil, regardless of whether their parents have papers. Graham was probably grandstanding; such an amendment requires a two-thirds majority in both the U.S. House and Senate and would have to be ratified by 75 percent of the states. (Alternately, two-thirds of the states could call a constitutional convention, but so far, this has never happened.)
The more practical path would be for Arizona to pass a birthright-citizenship law and then test it all the way to the Supreme Court at taxpayer expense. (Just like all the other Arizona immigration laws that FAIR has heartily supported.) And sure enough, fresh off his SB 1070 victory, Russell Pearce vowed he'd ramp up his efforts (a longtime FAIR fan, he's pitched "anchor baby" laws) to get a birthright-citizenship law passed in Arizona.
Pearce didn't return phone calls and an e-mail seeking comment for this story, but now that he's president of the Arizona Senate, he has publicly stated he will back off sponsoring the birthright-citizenship law himself and turn over the issue to his compadre in the state House, Representative John Kavanagh. It is unknown whether Kavanagh will introduce another of Pearce's favorite measures — a law that would require parents of kids with no papers to pay tuition to attend public school.
Such a law would work in tandem with a birthright-citizenship measure. Arizona would deny birth certificates to kids born to undocumented parents, and then the state would charge tuition because the children would not have birth certificates.
If a birthright-citizenship law were passed, it would create a burgeoning, illegal, illiterate, expensive underclass.
What's more, if children of the undocumented were deprived of schooling, government revenues would plummet.
That's because cost benefits of a public high school education are significant, according to a 2007 Columbia University study, "The Costs and Benefits of an Excellent Education for America's Children." The study found that even kids who needed expensive interventions (such as English classes) to get their high school diplomas netted the public purse an average of $127,000 per student over a lifetime.
On the other hand, high school dropouts tend to commit more crimes, be less healthy, rely more on public benefits, and pay fewer taxes, the same study reports.
The Center for Immigration Studies, FAIR's sister organization, has long pointed to a 30-plus percent dropout rate among Latino immigrants. The implication is that Mexicans drain the economy with social costs, and if they don't leave, it will only get worse. As if to underscore the Mexican menace, the CIS Web site displays hidden-camera-on-the-border videos of brown people purportedly sneaking into the country.
Scaremongering about Latino dropout rates is based on National Center for Education Statistics data on the "16- to 24-year-old status dropout rate."
Richard Fry, of the Pew Hispanic Center, determined that 38 percent of Hispanic immigrants, ages 16 to 24, were high school dropouts.
But here's the catch, according to Fry: The 38 percent dropout rate includes thousands of young immigrant laborers with minimal educations who never attended American schools.
They're still counted by the National Center for Education Statistics as high school dropouts because they haven't finished 12 years of school.
The sadder part of this story is that U.S.-born Hispanics actually do have a relatively high dropout rate — 11 percent. That's not a good statistic, and it does have social costs.
But it's impossible to tie this dropout rate to illegal immigration. Fry says there's no way to determine how many of these U.S.-born dropouts are children of the undocumented.
Seeing their peers waste educational opportunities mightily frustrates many of about 825,000 illegal immigrant children known as "DREAMers."

This is the third and final part of a three part shopping guide for soccer goals. If you happened to find this page first, you can look at part one, choosing a class, by clicking here, and part two, picking a size, by clicking here. This portion of our soccer goal shopping guide will go over choosing the correct model. There are basically two different models that most soccer goal companies will offer, they are traditional and lightweight. As with everything else, each company has different names for each of these models, but in order to keep it simple we will use and define these terms for the purposes of this shopping guide.
Traditional Model Soccer Goal
A traditional model soccer goal has a top depth of one foot or more. Because of that little feature, most of these goals have a framework that runs down the back of the goal and that framework makes the goal both heavier and safer than lightweight model goals.
A traditional soccer goal looks cool, it has the classic frame that you see in pro games. The extra framework means that it is unlikely to tip over.
Traditional soccer goals are heavy, they have more material involved in their construction and so they are tougher to move and in the unlikely event that they do fall, there is more weight to cause injury, always anchor your soccer goals and this won't be a problem.
Why You Should Choose a Traditional Model of Soccer Goal
This type of goal is a great choice for leagues and for families who are planning to set a goal up and then leave it up, or move it only a short distance. If there is a field in place that is used solely for soccer, the traditional model is the way to go.
Lightweight Model Soccer Goal
A lightweight model soccer goal has no top depth. Thanks to that little feature, these goals don't need a lot of framework to keep shape. This also makes them less expensive and as the name states, much much lighter than traditional models.
Due to the fact that there is less framework involved, these goals last longer. While this sounds counter intuitive, it is true, the more welding that you do with a soccer goal, the shorter the lifespan of that goal. Lightweight goals often need little to no welding at all to work. They are also easier to move and cost less.
Anchoring is more important with these goals than with traditional goals as these goals have less weight pushing them down. They don't have that cool traditional look.
Why You Should Choose a Lightweight Model of Soccer Goal
This type of goal is a great choice for leagues and for families who may not be leaving the goal up all year round. They are meant to be moved. They are also great for families and leagues on a budget as they cost less and last much longer.
That is all that we will be covering in this year's shopping guide, we hope that the guide was helpful and that it enabled you to narrow down which goal would be ideal for your home, league or school. We will end this guide with a list of soccer goals that we recommend you take a look at.

Toledo joins Compassionate Cities movement; April events plannedWritten by Staff Reports | | firstname.lastname@example.com
By Nick Batt, Toledo Free Press Staff Writer
"It's all about ordinary people making a difference."
That's how Judy Trautman, a retired teacher and co-chair of the MultiFaith Council of Northwest Ohio, describes the Compassion Networking Convention scheduled for noon to 8 p.m. April 25 at the SeaGate Convention Centre, 401 Jefferson Ave.
As a part of Compassionate Cities movement, the convention, which is free and open to the public, will bring together an assortment of community action, nonprofit, government, civic, corporate, arts and faith-based groups.
Based on the writings of Karen Armstrong, an inter-religious scholar and winner of the 2008 TED (Technology, Entertainment, and Design) Prize of $100,000, the movement seeks to build healthy local communities by spotlighting and supporting existing groups and institutions.
Toledo's convention, which will include more than 100 participant organizations, will provide an opportunity for these groups to network among themselves and raise awareness of their resources for the community.
From Belfast to Cincinnati, more than 25 cities from all over the world have accepted the challenge to become a Compassionate City. Another 196 are in the process of becoming Compassionate Cities.
Among the critical community issues to be addressed are Safe Homes/Streets, Food Sufficiency, Arts, Education, Care for the Suffering, Youth Engagement, Inter-Cultural Relations, the Arts, Health Care, Employment and Housing.
Toledo and Lucas County have adopted resolutions supporting the goal of making continual efforts to make the community more compassionate. Mayor D. Michael Collins recently declared April as a Month of Compassion.
The Lucas County Commissioners in their resolution designating the county as a compassionate community stated "compassion programs could ultimately save cities and counties tax dollars."
Collins, Toledo City Council and the Lucas County Commissioners will hold a signing ceremony at One Government Center with a news conference and reception on the morning of April 25. Collins' proclamation, quoting from the Charter for Compassion, states that "any interpretation of scripture that breeds violence, hatred, or disdain is illegitimate." Trautman will receive the documents on behalf of the Compassionate Cities Campaign. In addition to the convention, the initiative will sponsor a series of community service days throughout the month.
The culmination of the month will be the 13th annual MultiFaith Council Banquet, set for 4 p.m. April 27 at the Franciscan Center at Lourdes University, 6832 Convent Blvd., Sylvanis. The keynote speaker will be Fr. Jim Bacik, Catholic priest and theologian. Campus tours, educational displays and an optional Buddhist meditation are part of the program. In addition, the banquet will honor the 2014 Heroes of Compassion: Rep. Teresa Fedor, Janice Grimes, Alice Mosiniak, Dr. Anne Ruch, Yusuf Ali and Melinda Sutton. Prior recipients include familiar names such as the St. Vincent dePaul Society, Cherry Street Mission, Judge Charles Doneghy, local businessman John Shousher and Wanda Butts, who founded The Josh Project to teach inner city kids to swim after her son Josh drowned at the age of 16 in 2006. CNN named her one of its Heroes in 2012
The MultiFaith Council includes a number of faith-based groups. Trautman and her husband, Woody, co-chair the council, which seeks to promote inter-religious dialogue, respect and understanding. Trautman said Toledo is quite welcoming of newer, more diverse religious communities. She points to the experience of thousands of ordinary citizens who encircled the Toledo Islamic Center when it was attacked after 9/11. The community "needs to re-brand itself," she said, and raise awareness of all the resources available for those in need.
Trautman said compassion needs to build on its success while not ignoring the problems that still exist and this month and these events are the first steps in an ongoing process.
For more information contact Trautman at firstname.lastname@example.com or call (419) 475-6535.

FROM THE FRONT | Daisy de Villeneuve paints Angie, Audrey, Marilyn and Cheryl
I LOVE ILLUSTRATORS. My dream job (yes, like Dawn from The Office) is to be an illustrator... and a baker, the Belgrade bureau chief for Bloomberg and, well, a few other sundry things. Back during my more regular tenure in London, I spent a fair amount of time at The Hospital Club and particularly in the Bellini Bar. I like a fizzy cocktail as much as the next freelance writer, but it was the Julie Verhoeven walls that kept me coming back. Garance Doré inspires both jealousy and admiration (she's brilliant AND gets to snog The Sartorialist!?) in equal measure. Natasha Law has a strange, hypnotic hold on me and Quentin Blake brought Roald Dahl to life (not that he needed any help) before my very eyes... still does, in fact, as I don't think you should ever stop reading Dahl (and if you haven't, read his sinister short stories. Macabre and hilarious.... Tales of the Unexpected is a treat). My friend Carol Chu (the lovely lady who turned my vision for a logo into reality once upon a time. Thank you!) blows me away with her work. Teach me, I implore!
But, whoa, whoa, back to the point (focus, Jess, focus). There's another illustrator who has a certain way with a felt-tipped pen.

MAN — It has come full circle for the senior members of the Man High School softball team.
Three years ago as freshmen, Taylor Tomblin, Summer Sword, Emilee Osborne, Micayla Gibson, Tabby Ferguson and Rachael Griffith were members of Man's 2010 Class A state tournament team.
The Lady Billies would fall to South Harrison as their attempt to win a historic three straight state championships was foiled in extra innings in an 8-7 heartbreaker.
No varsity team in Logan County history had ever won three state titles in a row.
Some have won two straight but none for three straight.
The Lady Billies were close.
Oh, so close.
Fast forward three years and the Man softball team is back in Vienna with another run to the state softball tournament.
Those green freshmen are now seasoned veterans and the sextet would like nothing more than to make it back to the Class A state championship game and bring home a fourth state title for Man's storied softball program.
Man (20-5) advanced to the state tourney with last Friday's 16-0 drubbing of Fayetteville in the Class A Region 3 championship game at home.
The Lady Billies, ranked No. 7 in the state in Class A, had escaped a 6-5 regional semifinal win at No. 5-ranked Sherman.
Man, riding an 11-game winning streak heading into the state tourney, is scheduled to open state play on Wednesday at noon against Moorefield (26-3).
Two-time defending Class A state champion Buffalo (31-4), winners of 19 straight games, takes on Wheeling Central (21-8) on Wednesday at 9:45 a.m. in the other Class A state tourney matchup at Vienna.
Tomblin returns to the state tournament where she played a critical role on the 2010 Man team.
As Man had to fight its way out of the loser's bracket that year after a 2-1 upset loss at the hands of St. Marys, Tomblin was pressed into pitching as the Lady Billies' ace hurler that year, Marlena Frye, had reached her 14-inning limit for the day.
Tomblin ended up pitching for the Lady Billies in the final against South Harrison. She said it's great to have another shot.
"It feels awesome to get to go back," Tomblin said after last Friday night's win. "I want to thank God for being my strength."
Sword, Man's starting catcher and a West Virginia State signee, said she is equally excited to play again in the state tournament.
"I'm excited to go back and excited to share it with a great team. All the glory goes to God," Sword said.
Osborne has been a four-year starter in center field for the Lady Billies, including the 2010 state runner-up team.
"I'm excited to go back to the state tournament," she said. "My freshman year was a good experience and I couldn't imagine a greater group of girls going back. We have really worked hard to get to this point."
Tabby Ferguson, a senior DH, catcher and first baseman and WVU Tech signee, said she's also happy to be going back to Vienna.
"Going back to Vienna was my goal since ninth grade," Ferguson said. "I'm very proud of my team."
Gibson, Man's starting second baseman, said winning the regional title was a big accomplishment
"It was," she said. "I'm excited to go back to Vienna and I've been wanting to go back since I was in the ninth grade."
Griffith, a Man outfielder, said she can't wait to go back.
"It's a blessing," she said. "It feels real good to go with this bunch of people."
Lady Billies' junior shortstop Cari Blair said Man has worked so hard to make it this far. Man was taken out the last two years in the regional championship game by Buffalo.
"It's our time to shine," Blair said. "Those three-hour practices have paid off."
Junior right fielder Elizabeth Dickerson is following in her older sister Jaclyn Dickerson's footsteps. The older Dickerson was a member of Man's back-to-back state championship teams of 2008 and 2009.
"My big sister won two state titles and I want to follow in her footsteps. I'm glad I get the chance to achieve that goal," Elizabeth Dickerson said.
Casey Albright, the Lady Billies' starting junior third baseman, said Man can go all the way if it can play well and match the competition.
"This is what we have been working for since we were five years old," Albright said. "Now, hopefully, all the hard work will pay off and we can win a state championship."
Kelly Grimmett, Man's junior left fielder, said the Lady Billies can compete.
"It's the most amazing feeling in my life. I'm really excited and if we keep playing like we have we've got a good chance to win it all."
Junior first baseman and No. 2 pitcher Madison Keffer summed it up the best.
"I'm so thankful to get the opportunity. It's go hard or go home," she said.

The eventful life of Lodovico Ferrari
Lodovico Ferrari was an Italian mathematician famed for solving the quartic equation. Ferrari was born in 1522 in Bologna and at the age of 14 became the servant of Gerolamo Cardan, a celebrated Italian Renaissance mathematician, physician, astrologer and gambler.
Ferrari showed mathematical promise at a young age, and at the age of 20 became a public lecturer in geometry. He was also a player in a great mathematical controversy of the time - who should get credit for the development of solutions for the cubic and quartic equations.
The controversy includes another notable mathematician of his day, Nicolo Fontana Tartaglia. Tartaglia was an Italian mathematician who was the first to apply mathematics to the investigation of the paths of cannonballs. He had developed his own solutions to the cubic equations, and when Cardan heard of this achievement, nagged a reluctant Tartaglia to show him his work. He succeeded only when he challenged him to a debate and implied that through his influence he could arrange a potentially lucrative contact with the governor of Milan. Tartaglia agreed to tell Cardan his method if Cardan would swear never to reveal it and to only ever write it down in code so that even if he died, nobody would ever discover it. Cardan agreed to this, and Tartaglia enigmatically handed over his formula in the form of a poem.
Several years later however, Cardan and Ferrari saw unpublished work by Scipione del Ferro who had independently devised the same solution as Tartaglia. This work was dated before the work of Tartaglia, and so they decided to break their promise and the include Tartaglia's solution in their published work. Based on Tartaglia's formula, Cardan and Ferrari found proofs for all cases of the cubic and, more impressively, solved the quartic equation - this was reportedly largely due to the work of Ferrari.
Tartaglia then started a campaign of public abuse directed at Cardan and Ferrari, and whilst most of the insults washed off Cardan - who was now established as the world's leading mathematician - Ferrari wrote to Tartaglia challenging him to a public debate. Tartaglia however did not consider Ferrari as worthy of debate - it was Cardan he wanted. Ferrari and Tartaglia traded insults for over a year until 1548 when Tartaglia received an offer of a lectureship in Brescia. To establish his credentials for the post, he was asked to take part in the debate with Ferrari.
Tartaglia was an experienced debater and expected to win. However, by the end of the first day, it was clear that things were not going his way and that Ferrari understood the cubic and quartic equations more thoroughly. Tartaglia decided to flee that night, with victory left to Ferrari. Ferrari's fame soared and he was inundated with offers of employment, including a request from the emperor.
Ferrari was appointed tax assessor to the governor of Milan, and after transferring to the service of the church, retired as a young (aged 42) and rich man. He moved back to his home town of Bologna and in with his widowed sister Maddalena. He died in 1565 of white arsenic poisoning, most likely administered by Maddalena. Maddalena did not grieve at his funeral and having inherited his fortune, remarried two weeks later. Her new husband promptly left her with all her fortune and she died in poverty.
