A Pig of Cold Poison
In McIntosh's busy seventh Gil Cunningham mystery (after 2009's The Stolen Voice ), the 15th-century Scottish constable investigates a series of poisonings. When actor Dan Gibson falls down "deathly sick" at the end of a mummer's play performed on All Hallow's Eve at Gil's sister's house in Glasgow, it appears Dan was poisoned by the drops of medicine fellow actor Nanty Bothwell, who was playing an apothecary, gave him. Many of those present saw Dan and Nanty, who were rivals in love over the actress playing the apothecary's daughter, quarrel beforehand. Since Nanty is as distraught as everyone else at Dan's demise, Gil isn't so sure of Nanty's guilt. Soon more victims fall prey to the unknown poisoner. While the action gets off to a fast start, the onslaught of characters and conversation makes the plot somewhat difficult to follow. Series fans will be pleased to revisit old friends, but newcomers may find themselves lost in the Scottish hills. (July)

Brunswick County, N.C. - Road, Bridge, Ferry, and Mill Records (1808-1911)
Paperback, 140 Pages
Price: $20.95
Prints in 3-5 business days
Although a old county, the records are fairly sparse. Road records are from (1808-1911) in one folder. Bridge records are (1813-1905) also contained in one folder. The ferry records(1838-1841) are across three folders (only a few pages), and the mill records (1819-1907) are in one folder. A nice "general" set of records, but certainly not a complete or large collection.

Cruise out of Miami in 2 weeks and plans not finalized
We are flying into FLL and cruising out of Miami. Our original plan was to take a shuttle to our hotel (not booked yet) and spend 2 days down in the Bayside Marketplace area but all the hotels in our budget are booked. I have looked into rental cars and many are now charging a drop off fee. Thrifty which we use all the time wants $175.00 to drop off at the port of Miami plus the rental fees. Thought of driving to Key West and staying there but not paying $175.00 drop off fee. I am running out of time and options. We used a shuttle company a few years ago from FLL to Miami and everything went smooth for our party of 13 but cannot remember the company name. One of the moderators recommended the company. Also thought of staying by the Miami airport and taking a taxi to the port but not much to do within walking distance. Also thinking of trying the rail system to Miami. Any suggestions would be appreciated. This is a last minute cruise decision. I do not usually wait this long to finalize plans.
Perhaps you are thinking of Top Shuttle?
Might be Dave. You are the one that recommended it. Thanks!
Did you consider renting a car for the two days - bringing it back to Ft. Lauderdale and taking a shuttle back to Miami? The reason I ask is because I just called Thrifty Wednesday morning a rented a car for next Friday. They wanted $77 per day and I asked if there was any special deals. After a couple of minutes on hold the person came back and I could get a premium car for $46 (tax included). We're going on a cruise the next day and they have free shuttle service to the port. They also have free shuttle service to the airport where it's easy to get shuttle service to the Port of Miami. It's only a 45 minute drive from Ft. Lauderdale to Miami. If you could get a premium car for that price it might be worth it. There's room for 5 pcs of luggage in the bigger cars. The agent didn't know about any special deals so you have to ask.
Another thing about getting a car is that you can get a hotel anywhere and still go to the Bayside Market Place.
Sonny, do you mean you rented a car at FLL and will return it there and they offer you a FREE shuttle to the Port of Miami?? That is a good deal. I have rented a car with Budget as they are one of only two car rental companies that do not charge a drop off fee. Still have not booked a hotel but planned to return the car to Miami Airport and take a taxi to the port. If we decide to stay in FLL it might be a better deal to rent through Thrifty since I have a have a Blue Chip membership.
I'm sailing out of fort lauderdale. As long as you don't have to pay the drop off charge, you are better off what you have with budget. What is your sailing date?
just be careful when you book your hotel. A lot of the nicer ones charge for parking.
Sonny we are sailing Dec 4. Our plans now are to stay in Coconut Grove at Residence Inn by Marriott and take a taxi to the port. Still not sure how we are getting to Miami. I still have the rental car booked but the hotel charges $12.00 a day parking and I understand there is plenty to do within walking distance so I may cancel the rental car but still need to make reservations for transportation to Miami. I booked our return from the port to FLL with Top shuttle but they still have not contacted me to finalize the arrangements as they said they would.
Just so your not surprised the Residence Inn website says parking is $15 a day.
Cruise Fanatic I know they have parking fees. Most reviews said they were $12.00. They must have had a price increase. We most likely will not have a rental car. Sure we can find enough to do without it.

Before celebrating the gleaming history of the automobile and the musical prowess of the Highlanders band program, La Habra High took time to honor the victims and heroes of the Sept. 11 attacks.
As in the past, the fourth annual Highlander Car Show started with a 9-11 remembrance ceremony. The fundraiser also featured performances by bands and the cars – hot rods, custom cars, classics and more.
Proceeds are going to the band program to help repair instruments and hopefully the purchase of a vehicle to transport equipment to events, organizers said.

I wrote an application that use pthread. It has memory management problems.
It runs well without any problem but after some minutes, hours or day, is created Segmentation fault.
For detecting reason of segmentation fault, i use memwatch, a memory leakage detection tool. But when log file is created, it shows only function that cause problem. Beacuse of using some own functions(wroted by myself) for free specialized structures, the function cause problem, is always same function. I need to get stack trace so i can find where that it call the special function(that it free memory).
How can i do it?
I thank you for any other suggestions for memory leakage detection.

- //Drag the River
Even though Drag the River broke up almost a year ago, they've released You Can't Live This Way as the final hurrah in a decade's worth of Americana. Based on an extensive comparison of album tracks to YouTube clips, Drag the River seems to be a band best enjoyed live, so I guess we're all out of luck here.
Chad Price, better known for his stints in punk bands Descendents and ALL, has a lovely whiskey-and-cigarettes rasp made especially for country music; it's certainly not as loud as his earlier work, but it has the same punkish passion. Price alternates lead vocals with bandmate and writing partner Jon Snodgrass, who possesses an equally sandpapery voice, while the improbably named and woefully underused Spacey Casey gives good pedal steel on three tracks.
Drag the River
You Can't Live This Way
(Suburban Home)
US: 22 Jan 2008
UK: Available as import
The vast majority of the songs on You Can't Live This Way sound very similar to one another. "Rangement" is the most unique and interesting song on the album due to the speakeasy-esque horn and piano breakdown in the middle of the song that elevates it above its cookie-cutter peers. "Lost Angel Saloon" features the same down and out, quietly desperate, vaguely slutty small town girl that has been a trope of alt-country music since its inception: she left home at 18! Runs around with boys! Drinks cheap beer to forget! Retreads the same ground covered by Uncle Tupelo years ago, only without the songwriting chops of Jeff Tweedy and Jay Farrar! The other songs on the record are equally generic, save "Br00tal," which isn't bad, but loses points simply for its violation of Rock & Role Rule 29: unless you are Prince, numbers and letters in song titles must remain mutually exclusive.
The final track of the album, "You Can't Live This Way", is simply all the songs of the album without the gaps. While this may just be a slacker's way of trying to extend the length of a short record (of which 34 minutes is this final cut), this track really makes you appreciate the album's flow. In the age of MP3 players and their shuffle-crazed, possibly ADD-afflicted listeners, the whole of the record is often ignored in favor of its hook-happy singles; however, You Can't Live This Way is definitely a record worth more than the sum of its parts. There are no truly standout songs, but then again, there are no songs that are truly mediocre; Drag the River makes perfectly run of the mill Americana. That is more of a compliment than it seems, by the way, because we all know there's quite a bit of awful alt-country floating around out there.
You Can't Live This Way doesn't leave an immediate impact on the listener. At first listen, it seems bland, utterly forgettable once the stereo has been turned off or iPod stashed in messenger bag. It's certainly a record you can live without; passable longhaired roots rock seems to be as prevalent as Botox syringes at Faith Hill's house these days, so there's a good chance you've heard half a dozen bands just like Drag the River. But if for some reason you find yourself with a few extra bucks in your pocket and a couple hours to kill, grab a cheap six-pack and check these guys out. It won't change your life and it certainly won't get you laid (unless you go for the "Lost Angel Saloon" type), but it'll make your backyard drinking a little bit more enjoyable, even if not memorable.

How-To: Miranda Lambert's CMA Awards Bouffant
Go big or go home, right? The ladies of the country music world didn't disappoint on the red carpet for the 46th annual CMA Awards, sporting big curls, massive volume and a lot of teasing. With all of those head-turning hairstyles, which ones stood out the most?
Check out this retro style on country music favorite Miranda Lambert from celebrity hairstylist Mara Roszak, who has styled for starlets including Emma Stone, Zooey Deschanel and Halle Berry. Roszak offers up a quick how-to for recreating Miranda's Brigette Bardot-esque bouffant for your clients seeking a standout look of their own over the holidays. Plus, scroll down for more notable looks from the CMA Awards red carpet.
"I started by applying Couture Color Pequi Oil to her damp hair and rough-dried it. The oil is amazing for many reasons. It not only adds shine and smoothness to the hair but it changes the overall texture and condition of the hair, as well as protects it from heat damage.
"I then added a natural looking wave with my flat iron. After that I gently teased the crown with a Mason Pearson brush for some height, then pulled the hair back and twisted it into an effortless looking, textured modern French twist. I let some pieces fall out around the face for a softer look then sprayed all over with Elnett hairspray to hold through the night."
Check out more standout looks spotted on the CMA Awards red carpet, including Kellie Pickler's close crop (the singer shaved her head in solidarity with a friend undergoing chemotherapy), Shawna Thompson's romantic braided 'do and others.

Another family shares story of nursing home ambulance delay
INDIANAPOLIS - Viewers are outraged by what our 13 Investigates report uncovered. Nursing homes are failing to call 911 in true emergencies. Now another family says it happened to them too.
Wanda Thurman is hurt and angry over a questionable practice uncovered by 13 Investigates: nursing homes calling private ambulance companies instead of 911 during real medical emergencies, whether their crews are the closest response or not.
"They didn't call an ambulance for Bud either. I had to fight to get it," said Thurman, fighting back tears. "They were just going to let him die. They had just planned on letting him pass away right then.
Her husband "Bud" was found slumped over in a Kindred Healthcare nursing home in Greenfield. He had a history of bleeding, but staff not only failed to call 911, but put its private ambulance company on hold.
After waiting more than three hours, Thurman took matters into her own hands.
"I kept saying when's the ambulance getting here, and they said it's on it's way, it'll be here in 15 minutes. That's like 11 in the morning to 4 in the afternoon until I got mad and called them myself," she explained.
Hospital records obtained by 13 Investigates confirm Wanda Thurman's story. That her husband Bud was a resident at a nursing home just two miles away.
Phone records show Life Ambulance showed up 18 minutes after she called, but Bud Thurman died hours later from intestinal bleeding.
13 Investigates uncovered a similar story where help was just five minutes away for Barbara Parcel, but Kindred's Wildwood Healthcare waited for its private company to scramble a crew together from its headquarters, 20 minutes away.
"She should have had help right now, as quickly as she could," said Elsie Britton, Barbara Parcel's best friend.
By the time Parcel arrived to a hospital nearly an hour later, it was too late.
Her family drove from Greenwood and even beat the ambulance to Community East Hospital.
Both families want to know why patients are put at such risk.
"There's nothing really at the state level from the State EMS Commission that says you have to send the closest ambulance," admitted Rick Archer, the State's top investigator at Indiana's Emergency Medical Services Commission. He says some nursing homes won't call 911 to avoid disruptions.
"Firemen come in with their turn out gear on, and it scares the other residents," Archer said.
13 Investigates' findings are generating overwhelming response.
On WTHR.com, Caitlin, who identifies herself as a former Care Dispatcher said:
"Most nursing homes refuse to call 911 because they get audited for it."
On Facebook, Anthony Howard, said "They stole (Barbara Parcel's) right to just treatment."

Karen O'Brien, called it, "Absolutely ... ridiculous" and Brenda Sue Beabout, summed it up saying, "this should be illegal. It's okay to use a private company for non-emergency calls. But heart attack should be 911. We need legislation immediately."
More calls are in to Kindred Healthcare. The company has refused prior comment.
The attorney general and the State EMS Commission are now investigating. We'll stay on it, and bring you new developments.

The fact that about 2.6 billion humans around the world, especially in Africa and Asia, suffer from a lack of access to proper basic sanitation reveals the necessity of acting innovatively. Without sufficient sanitation people have to face not only an unworthy and polluted environment, but also a high risk of infection as well as a deficiency of privacy and safety.
In considering the state of public health, it becomes clear that in particular children are afflicted with life-threatening sanitation conditions – most notably at school.

Great for shots where I need to go straight for around 200' then suddenly go dog-leg right. Its a easier shot for me to consistently hit than a normal turnover with a stable disc, or even one under-stable.
The diamond will fly similar to a 150gm dx leopard, but with more glide. And of course more durable.
Do you know if Moonshine a Diamonds are more stable than Opto?

HUNDREDS of parents affected by the Mortonhall baby ashes scandal have been told they will never know the final resting place of their children.
Former Lord Advocate Dame Elish Angiolini said the results of her year-long investigation, published yesterday, would "cause more pain and distress" for most of the 253 families involved.
The remains of foetuses and small babies were secretly buried at the City of Edinburgh Council facility over more than four decades, despite their families being told there would be no ashes following cremation.
Loading article content
In her long-awaited report, Dame Elish concluded that, while the remains of some babies were buried in a garden of remembrance, ashes from others had been mixed in with the remains of adults.
On other occasions, they had been vacuumed up and buried in another area next to skips and tractors.
Dame Elish said: "It cannot be said with any certainty what remains of which babies are interred in the Garden of Remembrance.
"The great tragedy of these events over many years is that many parents will now be left with a lifetime of uncertainty about their baby's final resting place."
Bereaved parents called for a full public inquiry following the publication of the findings, which contained 22 recommendations.
The Scottish Government, which has appointed an independent commission chaired by former high court judge Lord Bonomy to look at practices across Scotland, said it was committed to changing the law regarding cremations and that a wide-ranging bill was planned.
The report into Mortonhall practices between 1967 to 2011 found that former superintendent Anne Grannum and bereavement and public health manager George Bell had mistakenly believed it was impossible to obtain ashes from babies and ignored evidence to the contrary.
The investigation found "overwhelming evidence" that foetal bones do survive cremation.
Former cremation assistant Hazel Strachan told the investigation that, on occasions where remains were found, Ms Grannum ordered families should not be informed as it would be "too distressing" for them.
Although Ms Grannum disputed the evidence, Dame Elish said she found Ms Strachan to be "reliable and credible".
Dorothy Maitland, operations director of the bereavement charity Sands Lothians and one of the affected parents who helped expose the scandal, said she felt "total devastation".
"My daughter's ashes could be in the garden of remembrance, she could be next to a skip or she could be in someone else's urn," she said. "I also feel very let down by a previous manager at Mortonhall - he blatantly told me on many occasions, 'You don't get ashes from a baby'. He seemed so genuine, I feel really let down. Worse than that, I feel like I've let my baby and my family down. We have wandered for years around Mortonhall wanting to put flowers down but didn't know where to put them."
Madelaine Cave's daughter Megan Heather died in 1994 at 15 days old. She said: "In reading the report it's clear that there were remains for Megan."
Arlene McDougall, who lost her son Fraser five minutes after he was born at 23 weeks, said she blamed Ms Grannum, who was superintendent of
the crematorium until 2011. She said: "She was the one who told me there were no ashes."
Calls for a full public inquiry into infant cremations across Scotland were supported by the Labour Lothian MSP and health spokesman Neil Findlay and Ruth Davidson, leader of the Scottish Conservatives.
While the Scottish Government has not ruled out such an inquiry, it will examine Lord Bonomy's recommendations, which he is due to publish in the coming weeks, before deciding what further action to take.
Solicitor Patrick McGuire, of Thompsons, who represents many of the families involved, said he believed "there won't be a single community in Scotland that hasn't been affected" by similar practices at other crematoriums.
Public Health Minister Michael Matheson said: "My thoughts today are with all the families affected. I can't begin to imagine how they must be feeling to not only lose a child, but then be put through the further trauma this report highlights.
"I am clear that no parent should ever have to go through a similar experience to those affected by practices like this, at any crematorium in Scotland.
"We are absolutely committed to changing the law and a wide-ranging bill is already planned. The findings from Dame Elish's report will be used to inform the wider national review, and any recommendations for government will be looked at by the commission as part of their investigation."
City of Edinburgh Council chief executive Sue Bruce extended "sincere apologies to the bereaved families" on behalf of the authority for the distress they had suffered.
She added: "Dame Elish has made many important recommendations, some of which relate directly to working practices at Mortonhall. I will be working with council colleagues and elected members to take these forward.
"It is also clear from the recommendations that there are far-reaching implications regarding cremation practices and the legislative framework not just for Edinburgh but across Scotland and the United Kingdom and I will be working with the Scottish Government and other relevant bodies to address these concerns.
"We will now consult with families and relevant organisations regarding their views on a suitable memorial.
"It is vital that we learn from this and look to the future. We must ensure that the highest possible standards are adhered to at Mortonhall and that nothing like this can happen again."

Whatever you summon is made out of what you drew it upon, so it'd be a bad idea to draw a boat on a rock for example, same as if you drew a sword on a tree, it'd be stronger than the wood itself because it has been infused with magic, but it'd still burn if set on fire. If you were to make creatures they'd be the same as any other item you summoned, but when compared to the real version of it are nowhere near as powerful, so drawing a horse on stone would give you a stone horse that isn't as fast or as strong as a normal horse, although a stone horse might have other bonuses, like being resistant to swords and arrows etc. Just don't make it too overpowered when you do things, so no "I draw an awesome X that does Y and is better than everyone else's X's put together". Other than that, the form is fine.

Char flew over the forest. Her wings ached from the long flight. She had to find a place to stay, a place to hide. Then, out of nowhere, she heard a scream. "KYAAAAAAA!" That scream caused her to crash into a tree. "Darn it!" Char started running towards the yelp.
A few minuets later, she came across a Urisang holding what seemed to be a eevee... Or was it an Umbreon? Whatever it was, she was not to let it die. With a puff of smoke she said, "You leave it alone, and battle me ok?"Then, what seemed to be a ferroseed leaped out. "What the-?" She just stared. The the other Umbreon creature grabbed the teddiusa, and held a claw to its neck. She just stood watching.

UPDATED: Cincinnati Reds release North Delta's Jeff Francis; reports say Colorado Rockies showing interest in left-handed pitcher
It was this time 10 years ago, when North Delta's Jeff Francis became the second highest MLB draft choice to ever come out of the B.C. Premier Baseball League.
The left-handed hurler, who, then at the age of 21, ascended almost to the top of baseball prospects as a member of the BCPBL's North Delta Blue Jays and later the UBC Thunderbirds, was selected ninth overall by the Colorado Rockies in the 2002 MLB First-Year Player Draft.
Now at the age of 31, his career is once again at a crossroads.
Francis was released from his minor league contract by the Cincinnati Reds on Monday, at his own request, according to a tweet from ESPN baseball writer Jerry Crasnick (@jcrasnick). Francis is now, as per Crasnick's tweet, a free agent.
The Reds signed Francis to a minor league contract in January. In 12 starts this season with Triple-A Louisville, Francis collected a 3-6 record with a 3.72 earned-run average to go along with 65 strikeouts and just 18 walks in 77.1 innings pitched.
News of the release comes one day after Francis tossed a seven-hit complete-game shutout for the Louisville Bats, as they toppled the Durham Bulls 7-0.
Now begins the guessing game as to where Francis, who had one start in the 2007 World Series as a member of the Rockies, will end up.
MLB.com is now reporting that the Rockies, the same team that first brought Francis into the world of professional baseball, has is trying to bring him back, although there is no guarantee of that happening.
"We are interested; I have no idea of the outcome of that interest," Rockies general manager Dan O'Dowd was quoted as saying on MLB.com Monday afternoon.
As a professional, Francis has fallen victim to injuries, particularly in the last four years, spending considerable time on the disabled list with inflammation and soreness in his pitching shoulder.
The 2012 MLB First-Year Player Draft goes this week, beginning today with the first round, Tuesday with rounds two through 15, and concluding Wednesday with rounds 16 through 40.

See what happens when you have cabinet ministers with gay utes
People are soft these days, but to be expected when you have cabinet ministers who drive gay utes:
The great Kiwi camping holiday seems to be dropping out of favour, with few people willing to rough it in the wild without some modern comforts.
Almost six out of 10 people told a Herald-DigiPoll summer survey that they wanted some comfort when camping – and nearly 15 per cent admitted they would like as many modern conveniences as possible.
Less than a quarter said they like to rough it.
The Holiday Parks Association says the changing demands of Kiwi campers are forcing many holiday parks to reduce tent sites and build more cabins and chalets with modern conveniences.
Chief executive Fergus Brown said it wasn't necessarily a bad thing as it meant camping was appealing to a wider group of Kiwis.
Harsher Penalties for hunters who shoot people
Rotorua Coroner Dr Wallace Bain today echoed those views in a raft of recommendations released today, and has called for the Law Commission and the Government to "urgently investigate" the rules and regulations applying to hunting deaths.
For those who failed to properly identify targets, he called for harsher penalties.
"Whether in order to emphasise the extreme seriousness of hunters shooting dead other human beings because their targets have not been properly identified, the time has come that the more appropriate charge should be manslaughter."
As Dr Bain earlier detailed in previous findings into the hunting death of William Gillies, he further recommended that "careful consideration be given to making offences in hunting situations, ones of strict liability so that the hunters have to establish that they have complied to the appropriate standards required with the Arms Act and the Arms Code".
Spotlighting on any land to which the public had access should be a specific offence, he said.
Dr Bain also recommended more education and messages to hunters over the obligations under the Arms code and general firearms safety and hunter training.
This should place "special emphasis" upon the identification of targets and the risks highlighted with snap shooting, buck fever and the use of high-powered telescopic sights, he said.
Further, he wanted hunting laws to make it clear that "associates and those involved in a joint hunting enterprise, such has occurred here, should have culpability either the same as the principal offender (shooter) or at a far higher level than occurred in this case".
I am all for harsher penalties for hunters who are stupid enough to shoot another person. It should be manslaughter, and they should go to jail for a long time, preferably with a mandatory minimum sentence to be served in full, and one that really hurts like five or seven years.
What I am not in favour of is expensive regulation of hunters, hunter education or hunter certification. The cost of this will be huge, and probably will not save lives. Rather than respond to a problem with creating a massive expense for all hunters we should ensure that all hunters get the message that if you don't identify your target, and shoot someone, you will go to jail for a very long time.
No wonder Trevor Mallard is so tetchy
He isn't getting his busted leg over much:
In a recent survey of 5000 Bicycling magazine readers, 50% of men and 58% of women said that—if pressed to choose between sex or bikes—they'd pick the bikes.(Via Maria Popova)
I chose sex and gave up cycling especially after Missus told me to stop cycling because she was worried about me sitting on my nuts for 60ks.
She said "Whale, there's no way I am coming second to a bike seat"
For once she had a point.
Labour's latest vote winning policy
Labour are copying National of 2002, reminding New Zealand's political elite of what happens when you let decidedly average middle managers run strategy.
Compulsory School Sport is not going to capture the public's imagination and win votes for Labour. It is a bit like National's 2002 strategy which involved new policies being released right up until the last week of the election, with 72 released in total.
Compare Labour's policies to Nationals very clear and effective billboards. Big important vote winning issues. Not compulsory sport in schools.
On the plus side this policy is the first that labour have released that doesn't a have a billy or two in additional costs attached to it.
How did they know he was gay?
A prestigious Christian school's Board of Trustees have been told to attend a human rights awareness course after sacking a netball coach because he was gay, the Christchurch Star has reported today.
Middleton Grange School also had to apologise to the 28-year-old and pay him a confidential reparation sum. Yesterday, the man broke his silence about the situation, hoping it would prevent the same thing happening to someone else.
"It's hard enough to go through finding yourself and accepting yourself and being `out' in the first place," said the man, who wished to remain anonymous. "Having to go through discrimination doesn't help."
The man said he was trying to look at the positive and that the apology from the school had given him closure.
How'd they know he was gay? Because he coached netball?
At least the girls weren't in any danger. It isn't the gay teachers you should be worried about it is the creepy pedos anyway.
I mean what where they thinking? Really? Just because you are christian doesn't mean you have to be naive and bigoted.

the Land of the Lost
|Distinguishing features
Huge black eyes, and has reptilian skin
|Famous members
The Sleestak are a race of reptilian creatures that evolved from the peaceful Altrusians.
1974 seriesEdit
The Sleestak are a reptilian bipedal humanoid species. They have a thin but wide-set mouths and large, round black eyes that are averse to light. Covered mostly in green scales, their bellies are yellow. Sleestak also have claws on their feet and on their hands, with a horn protruding from the top of their heads. They breathe with a pronounced breath sound as if breathing through congestion. This is probably due to their wide set mouth and flat nostrils.
Sleestak HistoryEdit
At one time, in the distant past, the Sleestak were known as Altrusians. They were a very peaceful and intelligent race. They eventually grew into an advanced civilization, and had seemingly mastered many (if not all) of the secrets of the Land of the Lost. They created cities and temples. Unfortunately, the Altrusians lost control over their emotions, and destroyed their civilization becoming known as the Sleestak.
The Sleestak now are a degenerate race that have lost much of their knowledge and culture. They have come out of the Era of Intelligence and into the Era of Solitude. The Era of Intelligence was the period in time when the Sleestak first arrived at The Land of the Lost. The Sleestak also built these temples that are now called Pylons. There was a period when there was only darkness, before the Sleestak built the Time Pylon, which controls the light and dark cycles of The Land of The Lost.
Then as the Sleestak went into The Lost City they became less intelligent as they had nothing to look at except hard rock and each other. The Sleestak eventually became ruled by a Sleestak called Sol. Sol reorganized the Sleestak and taught them how to hunt and kill.
Sleestak's AccomplishmentsEdit
The Sleestak are accomplished in the arts of building, foraging, and hunting, and make and use crossbows and nets to hunt. The crossbows are no larger than the size of a Sleestak's forearm. The nets are made to catch either the Altrusian Pig, or the Altrusian Moth which comes from the Altrusian Mountains. Also, during the Era of Intelligence, the Sleestak built Pylons and a temple that the Marshalls called The Lost City.
2009 filmEdit
Originally the free willed sentient species of the Land of the Lost under the leadership of The Zarn, they were enslaved by the Tachyon-manipulating Enik after he killed the Zarn and was sealed within the Central Pylon. Unlike their 70's counterparts, they possess razor-sharp teeth.
- For budgetary reasons, there were only three Sleestak costumes created for the 1974-1976 series. Therefore, only three Sleestaks were ever seen on screen at any one time, even if a scene's script clearly implied the presence of more than that number. To imply larger numbers of Sleestak, scenes were edited with extra footage inserted to give the impression of larger numbers.
- The Sleestak first appeared in the second episode of the original series, "The Sleestak God".
- The Pakuni word for Sleestak is "Sarisataka".
- In the 1991 series, Sleestaks are an anamorphic trio of dinosaurs who follow their leader, Shung. They are one of the many antagonists in the show. Shung is an especially evil tyrant, powered by his crystal--which only intensifies his evil and makes him especially corrupted.


text: Hi Guys, I am very new to the wonderful world of Football / NFL. I started following the Texans last year and the Texas Longhorns. Must admit, so far I have enjoyed college football more than the professional league. I am planning on playing at the end of year in New Zealands domestic league. (http://eteamz.active.com/nz-american-football/) Cant wait to start playing! Although I have no idea what position I would play yet I just have a few questions to help clarify my understanding of the game. The main thing I have trouble with is a lot of the positions to me seem to be the same. For example centre back and safety, what makes a good centre back and what makes a good safety? What makes a good guard and what makes a good OT? Am I right in saying the left tackle is the most important in the offensive line if the quarterback is right handed because it covers his weak side? Also, is the weak side the blind side of the quarter back? So when I see someone stated as a weak side linebacker they are talking about right hand side linebacker if the quarterback is right handed? So what makes a good weak side linebacker and a good strong side linebacker? Sorry for all the questions guys but Im dead keen to get up to speed before the next season of the NFL kicks off. Go Texans!

Xbox 360 voice search, TV content deals launch December 6
Posted by Andru Edwards Categories: Corporate News, Home Entertainment, Microsoft, Video Games
Microsoft said Sunday night that it plans to launch its fall 2011 dashboard update for its Xbox 360 game console, complete with voice search via Xbox Kinect, this week.
Microsoft also announced a significant number of related content partnerships, bringing most major services to the Xbox platform this week or by early 2012. On Dec. 6, Starting Dec. 6, a free Xbox Companion app for Windows Phone will let also let users find, learn more about and control content from popular entertainment services on Xbox LIVE.
Shortly after midnight on Sunday night, Microsoft said that the "Bing on Xbox" update would arrive on U.S. consoles beginning "tomorrow," and roll out to U.S. console owners over the coming weeks. Those without a Kinect peripheral will be able to search using Bing text search.
The voice search capability, first revealed in June, will work with both the Xbox Live Marketplace, Zune Video, and selected content partners. On Dec. 6, presumably the date of the update, Microsoft plans to add content from new entertainment partners, including apps, from EPIX, ESPN, Hulu Plus, Netflix, and MSNBC's Today.
Microsoft's vision for the Xbox platform, including voice search via Kinect, probably was more significant six months ago before Apple's Siri began dominating headlines with its ability to naturally search and interact with the user and a variety of apps. Nevertheless, it allows users to interact with a growing sea of content as simply as possible.

Bleeding Edge TV 405: Xbox 360 Fall 2011 dashboard update review
Posted by Andru Edwards Categories: Full Episodes, High Score, Features, Microsoft, Podcasts, Video Games, Videocasts, Videos
The next major Xbox 360 dashboard update happens on December 6th, and we've got a look at all the new changes and additions in this episode of Bleeding Edge TV. The Fall 2011 Xbox 360 Dashboard Update is the official name of this release, and we show you the update process, and then walk you through the new interface. We give you a look at new features like Bing, Cloud Storage for games and profiles, the new Social, Games, Movies, and Music channels, and more. Expect good things from Microsoft's latest update, including full Kinect integration. This is a big update that brings another big redesign to the Xbox 360, similar to what they did a couple years ago with the New Xbox Experience. Things are a lot more flat...even boxy. It's somewhat similar to the Metro UI that you'd find on Windows Phone 7 devices or Windows 8, and the synergy is understandable…plus, it makes things a lot more user-friendly as it pertains to Kinect.
Big thank you to GoToMeeting and JackThreads for sponsoring the show - be sure to check them out! As for JackThreads, we've got exclusive invite codes that give you $5 to use towards anything you'd like.
Follow your favorite baseball team on Opening Day the geeky way
Posted by Andru Edwards Categories: Editorial, Home Entertainment, Software
Spring has sprung, and the best thing about spring isn't the warmer weather or the allergies—it's the baseball. The 2011 MLB season begins Thursday, taking over the lives of fantasy owners and fans alike for the next seven to eight months (depending on how good your team is). Whether you're at work, at home, on on the road, here are a few ways to track your favorite team.
MLB at Bat 11
MLB at Bat 11 is the sanctioned-by-the-league option for following your favorite team throughout the year. It's an app for iOS, Android, BlackBerry, Mac OS, Windows, and other platforms, and it lets fans watch out-of-market games (crucial if your team isn't your local team), track every statistic you can think of, and see "Live Look-Ins" whenever something critical is happening in another game.
There's a lot packed into the MLB at Bat app, but it comes at a cost: the app itself is $14.99 (there's also a very stripped-down version that's free), but if you want to watch live games you'll need a subscription to MLB.tv, which starts at $99 for the season. Luckily, thanks to a deal MLB made with Volvo, you won't need a subscription for the first month of the season, so you can try before you buy.
MLB.TV on Roku and Apple TV
If you own a Roku box ($69 at Amazon) or an Apple TV ($99 at Amazon), you're already almost all set up to watch baseball this season. With an MLB.tv subscription (the same one you'll need for the MLB at Bat app), you get access to live-streaming games via your Roku box or your Apple TV, along with plenty of other features like fantasy player tracking, DVR controls, and even on-demand access to local games (which you can't watch live) 90 minutes after the game ends.

Bleeding Edge TV 366: Xbox 360 Fall 2010 dashboard update review
Posted by Andru Edwards Categories: High Score, Features, Microsoft, Podcasts, Video Games, Videocasts, Videos
The next major Xbox 360 dashboard update happens in November, and we've got a look at all the new changes and additions in this episode of Bleeding Edge TV. This is a big update that brings another big redesign to the Xbox 360, similar to what they did a couple years ago with the New Xbox Experience. Things are a lot more flat and boxy, like what you'd find on Windows Phone 7, and the synergy is understandable…plus, it makes things a lot more user-friendly as it pertains to Kinect.
What else do you get? Netflix search and DVD queue management, along with a Netflix app redesign. ESPN brings 3,500 live sporting events per year (close to 100 per day!,) Zune finally brings music to the Xbox 360 with Zune Pass integration, and more. Get a look at the video above for the full scoop.
Xbox LIVE membership fee increasing $10 per year—lock in lower price now
Posted by Andru Edwards Categories: Corporate News, Microsoft, Xbox Live
If you haven't heard by now, Microsoft is going to be increasing the yearly cost of Xbox LIVE membership by $10 per year starting on November 1. This comes after 8 years of the service remaining at a steady $50 per year, and kills rumors that the service would actually go free sometime soon. On November 1, a year of Xbox LIVE Gold will cost you $59.99, one month will cost $9.99 (up from $7.99,) and the three-month subscriptions will go from $19.99 to $24.99. They say it's to support new features like Kinect, ESPN, and Hulu Plus coming to Xbox LIVE (despite the fact that Hulu Plus costs $10 a month in the first place.)
The one silver lining here is that you can currently buy yourself a one-year Xbox LIVE subscription for just $39.99, locking in that $20 savings for a year. It will just get tacked on to your current subscription if you already have one. If you want multiple years of savings, you can always find Xbox LIVE discounts on Amazon.
