Wizd on Gentoo
This article is based on the original Wizd for the Kuro Box page at http://jhue.users.sonic.net/.
Wizd is a server daemon originally designed for the Vertex MediaWiz, but is compatible with other popular media players such as the Buffalo LinkTheater and the I-O DATA AVeL LinkPlayer2.
Preparing for Build
First download the version of wizd you would like to install. Wizd has recently been moved to Sourceforge, so we have to download the source through CVS, as well as download the supporting files. In this example, we are going to use version 0_12h_pvb_21.
Source files
You will need a CVS client for this part. You can get this through portage:
# emerge dev-util/cvs
You can also use dev-util/colorcvs but it is currently masked for ppc. You can add this to your packages.keywords if you want to use it, and know how. Next we change directories to /usr/local/src and retrieve the Wizd build from http://wizd.sourceforge.net/
# cd /usr/local/src kurobox src # cvs -d:pserver:email@example.com:/cvsroot/wizd co -P wizd
The latest version of Wizd's source files should now be in /usr/local/src/wizd. Wizd requires the jpeg library, and the libdvdread library in order to compile properly. We can download and install these through portage.
kurobox src # emerge media-libs/jpeg media-libs/libdvdread
Modify the Makefile
We will need to make some small changes to the original Makefile in order for wizd to compile properly.
kurobox src # cd wizd kurobox wizd # nano makefile
replace LDFLAGS += -static -L/usr/local/lib -ljpeg -ldvdread with LDFLAGS += -L/usr/local/lib -Wl,-rpath,/usr/local/lib -ljpeg -ldvdread -ldl -lm
The makefile that comes with release 21 is misnamed. Makefile needs a capital M
mv makefile Makefile
Compile Wizd
Now that we've created the appropriate directories, and updated our Makefile, we can go ahead and compile Wizd.
kurobox wizd # make . . .
and then move it to its final location.
kurobox wizd # mv wizd /usr/local/wizd
We need to make the /docroot directory and get the skins for wizd.
kurobox wizd # cd /usr/local/wizd kurobox wizd # mkdir docroot kurobox wizd # cvs -d:pserver:firstname.lastname@example.com:/cvsroot/wizd co -P skin
Get and Modify the Configuration File
You will need to update your configuration file to tell Wizd where to find your media files, etc. Getting the wizd.conf file is a bit tricky since it is not in CVS. It is found in the windows package .zip file. To make life easier a copy of it has been placed in the Gentoo downloads area.
kurobox wizd # wget http://www.kurobox.com/downloads/gentoo/wizd.conf kurobox wizd # nano wizd.conf
Add Wizd to Runlevel Default
If you want Wizd to start automatically after boot, you will need to add Wizd to your default runlevel. Here is a sample script written by a member of the Kurobox forum (Dave Taylor), with a few modifications (original post).
# cd /etc/init.d # nano wizd
Copy and paste the following:
#!/sbin/runscript # # start/stop the Wizd daemon. # start() { ebegin "Starting the Wizd daemon" start-stop-daemon --start --pidfile /var/run/wizd --make-pidfile --chdir /usr/local/wizd --exec /usr/local/wizd/wizd eend $? } # # Stop the Wizd server daemon # stop() { ebegin "Stopping the Wizd daemon" start-stop-daemon --stop --name wizd eend $? }
Have Wizd start automatically when you boot your Kurobox.
# chmod 755 wizd # rc-update add wizd default * wizd added to runlevel default * rc-update complete.
Run Wizd
You can reboot your system to make sure Wizd starts at runlevel default, or you can start it manually.
# /etc/init.d/wizd start
Any time you make any changes to the wizd.conf configuration file, Wizd will need to be restarted.
# /etc/init.d/wizd restart
You can test that Wizd is working properly by pointing your webbrowser to http://your_kurobox_ip:8004/ and you should be able to see the Wizd media selection screen.

What season is this?
I was struck by the latest infrared satellite picture...a winter-like front is heading for us tomorrow morning (see image)...and look a the predicted 24-h rainfall ending 5 AM on Tuesday (image)! Wow..this is serious rainfall, particularly in the north Cascades. We are going to cooler and wetter than normal for a few days...but guess what...we get warm and dry for next weekend!

Thanks for the news that the sun will return before next year! My garden needs rain, so let it rain.

Agreed Chris, I just received my latest water bill. Should have invested in soaker hoses, I guess. Certainly is more comfortable at work in the kitchen this week, but I can tell my tomatoes are pretty darned confused. Sounds like I should prepare for a tomato explosion next week, though.

Sorry for a dumb question, but what's the scale in that second image? Apparently my house is predicted to get 84 of rain! (Not inches, one presumes.)

While I did not enjoy the heat wave, I don't like this stuff during the summer either. I'm happy to see the longer range forecasts suggesting that warmer and drier weather will return . . . though I'm sure it will be nothing like before.

how warm and dry?

Cliff and others more knowledgeable than I might want to hazard a guess with more detail. I'm just referring to the http://www.cpc.noaa.gov/ site where you can view their 6-10 and 8-14 day outlooks.

This will help lessen the fire danger at least for a while; however, I do hope summer returns for a while. Interesting weather year hey?

I can't believe I'm bummed out about rain but I just put my kid on Da Boata for a week of horse camp at Camp Sealth. It stinks that it's going to be cool and rainy for her first sleep-away camp!
Oh well. The garden will be happy.

Yea, unfortunately it could be 90 degrees again by next Tuesday. Mother Nature likes to tease us with the weather we've had the past few days, making us think the weather is finally getting better... but we should all know it doesn't last. It's not even mid-August yet, it'll definitely get worse again before it gets better for awhile.

There is a book by CE Rusk, "Tales of a Western Mountaineer: A Record Of Mountain Experiences On The Pacific Coast" , about his observations in the NW from the previous century. He noted that the middle of August, give or take a week, there is usually a break down in the weather which lasts for several days.

A "break down in the weather"? Meaning?
Seems to me like the weather breaks down all summer - there's nothing going on.
- August 12, 2009 at 5:15 AM

Meaning you secretly love our summers and this is some kind of cheap therapy for you trying to bait everyone with your weekly dilemma. You can always move to Alaska.

My tomatoes have been queuing up; ripening at a slowly increasing rate over the past week. I have a feeling that next week, picking tomatoes from my twenty-ish plants will be like pulling weeds. Time to start the canning process, which never seems to take place in cool seasons.
Should have PLENTY of Summer left. If it boringly tops out at 78 F. for the next month I won't complain too much.

I'll tell you what season it is - summer... don't let the past couple days fool you - the strong ridge and the heat is coming back. Looking at the extended GFS-WRF and the strength of the ridge and offshore flow it depicts next Wednesday is amazing considering the heat event we already just had. We'll see how things evolve, but it's looking increasingly likely that we may at least tie the annual record for 90+ degree temperatures (record is 9 in 1958; we've had 7 this year at the airport).
The 589 decameter 500-hPa ridge and offshore flow is so strong on the 00z GFS from this evening that these are surface temps on the GFS at 5pm Wednesday, August 19 - yes, that's upper 90s in Seattle:

I remember a heat period of 90+ about the 16th or 17th of august last year when I was transferring radios/antennas from one vehicle to another so it's possible again.

Has anyone noticed that the leaves are falling off the trees? It looks a bit like October around here! My assumption is that the trees are stressed from the lack of water and high heat. Anyone else have any thoughts?
- August 13, 2009 at 11:19 AM
- mainstreeter said...
I have seen some of the alder and other trees shedding leaves and others turning fall like. Should be another good year for fall colors.
- August 13, 2009 at 11:27 AM

Chris, I've noticed the same thing. I think it does in fact have to do with the dry and hot conditions that have prevailed since mid-May.

Officer in Central Florida Shooting Cleared
Dennis D.R. Smith, a reserve officer for the Orlando Police Department, has been cleared of any wrongdoing in the shooting death of Central Florida campus police officer Mario Jenkins, left, who was working an undercover operation to combat illegal drinking before the Central Florida-Marshall game on Sept. 24. But authorities said Michael John Young, who allegedly grabbed Jenkins in a bear hug during a pregame confrontation between Jenkins and a tailgater, will face charges of felony battery on a law enforcement officer and a misdemeanor charge for obstructing a law enforcement officer.

Another OPD officer who killed someone cleared in Orlando? What a surprise. This case might be different, but the DA never fails to clear an officer in Orlando, no matter what is the circumstance. It's the definition of corruption. And the Orlando daily keeps running this crap like it's news.

Ongoing Projects
North Hillsborough park-and-ride lot
GoTriangle is continuing its search to find a replacement for the North Hillsborough park-and-ride lot to allow Orange County and Hillsborough residents to access the Orange-Durham Express (Route ODX). That bus route provides peak hour bus service between Mebane and Hillsborough to the Duke/VA Medical Centers and downtown Durham. The park-and-ride lot will include parking for 35 to 50 daily customers, transit amenities and capacity for two buses at a time. We're looking at sites along U.S. 70 within the general area between NC 86 and St. Mary's. Here is an update on the effort and our progress to date:
Adopted plans and programs
The 2014 Orange County Bus Program highlighted a need for a park-and-ride lot along the U.S. 70 corridor. The program was adopted by the Orange County commissioners and the GoTriangle Board of Trustees. The Orange County Bus and Rail Investment Plan was adopted.
- GoTriangle was operating a park-and-ride lot in North Hillsborough on private property from the summer of 2014 to the summer 2015. The property was sold and the new property owner told GoTriangle that the lease would end in the fall of 2015. Red Womens Ivory Satchel Johnson Crossbody Bows Mini Betsey OSpxHO
- GoTriangle has been actively working with the Town of Hillsborough and Orange County to identify a permanent location for a park-and-ride lot.
- We reached out to businesses, residents and a church in an effort to secure a location.
- We met with New Hope Church and discussed improving its parking lot to make it suitable for a park-and-ride lot. We had a number of productive conversations but were unable to reach an agreement.
- We expanded our search and met again with the town and county to discuss potential sites. We identified a potential location and have reached out to the property owner. We are evaluating the site to determine whether it is suitable for a park-and-ride location. We will continue to provide updates as soon as we know more.
Renaissance park & ride lot
Served by GoTriangle Route 800 and 800S. Renaissance is a free park-and-ride lot in front of the HomeGoods along Renaissance Parkway. To access, enter the shopping center at traffic center near Tomato Jake's Pizzeria, turn right in front of Harvest 18 and then turn right into designated park-and-ride spaces.

Did the Daily Show or The Onion lay off some headline writers, or was someone at the New York Times making a not-so-subtle pitch for a comedy writing job with this one:
Future of Solar and Wind Power May Hinge on Federal Aid
You know what they say about satire: it works because it cuts to the truth more effectively than analysis. The only way this headline could be improved is if it said that the "Past and Present" of wind and solar depended on federal aid, too.
Money quote:
"Unlike oil and gas, where those companies could still make money doing their operating if they didn't have some of the credits they currently have, I'm not sure that would be true for the wind industry," said Amy Jaffe, director of the Energy Forum at Baker Institute at Rice University.

One of Congress' fundamental responsibilities under the Constitution is budgeting. With large majorities in both houses of Congress, the only hurdle Democrat leaders have in developing and garnering support for the annual budget resolution is themselves.
Yet, this past week House Majority Leader Steny Hoyer officially announced during a speech that Congress will make no attempt to develop and pass a budget this year.

mert gokceimam needed a new logo design and created a contest on 99designs.
A winner was selected from 35 designs submitted by 10 freelance designers.
Depkac.com is a community about Culture. Sub categories are music ( rock , punk , metal ) , philosophy , cinema. Community also includes other parts as technology , news and fun categories.
We also have other websites that we'll like to get logo after first project is completed.
Target audience is people who are looking for quality articles and topics about site categories. The most important thing with out target audience is a place where they will feel them self comfortable and a place where they can freely express their opinion. As the site is targeting Turkish audience this is a little important for us.
We are looking for a clean and attractive logo. Logo should hold Depkac word. The site always had a clean design and we want to keep it like this.
Typeface should be clear. Dep and Kac are two seperate words. Dep means "kick" and Kac means "run away" . The meaning can be highligted within logo as a cartoon but it is not a necessary thing.
Most important thing we want to express is a place where visitors will feel themself comfortable and a place mainly they are at their home chatting with their buddies.
The site header will change after implementing the new logo. However the main content holder places design and colors will not be updated. Thats why we prefer the logo match site content colors.
Please let me know if any other information is needed. Site adress is http://depkac.com

Unfortunately, many nursing home residents end up exhausting their assets on long-term care. But it doesn't have to be that way. The best time to plan for the possibility of nursing home care is when you're still healthy. By doing so, you may be able to pay for your long-term care and protect assets for your loved ones. How? Through Medicaid planning. You worked hard all of your life to pay off your mortgage and build a retirement fund. You expected to live off your savings in the comfort of your own home, and you planned to leave something to your kids at the appropriate time. Suddenly, the unthinkable happens--you suffer a stroke at age 70 and must spend the rest of your years in a nursing home. What will happen to your life savings?
Medicaid is a joint federal-state program that provides medical assistance to various low-income individuals, including those who are aged (i.e., 65 or older), disabled, or blind. It is the single largest payer of nursing home bills in America and is the last resort for people who have no other way to finance their long-term care. Although Medicaid eligibility rules vary from state to state, federal minimum standards and guidelines must be observed.
In addition to you meeting your state's medical and functional criteria for nursing home care, your assets and monthly income must each fall below certain levels if you are to qualify for Medicaid. However, several assets (which may include your family home) and a certain amount of income may be exempt or not counted.
To determine whether you qualify for Medicaid, your state may count only the income and assets that are legally available to you for paying bills. Medicaid planning helps you devise ways of making your assets and income inaccessible. Over the years, attorneys have developed several strategies to rearrange finances and legally shelter assets from the state. These strategies--and the Medicaid rules themselves--can be complicated, especially since the passage of the Deficit Reduction Act of 2005, which significantly tightened restrictions on Medicaid planning. You should consult an experienced elder law attorney if you wish to take steps to protect your assets from the state.
Along with qualifying you for Medicaid benefits, Medicaid planning seeks to accomplish the following goals:
Let's look at these in turn.
Countable assets are those that are not exempt by state law or otherwise made inaccessible to the state for Medicaid purposes. The total value of your countable assets (together with your countable income) will determine your eligibility for Medicaid. Under federal guidelines, each state compiles a list of exempt assets. Usually, this list includes such items as the family home (regardless of value), prepaid burial plots and contracts, one automobile, and term life insurance.
Through Medicaid planning, you can rearrange your finances so that countable assets are exchanged for exempt assets or otherwise made inaccessible to the state. For example, instead of spending your savings solely on nursing home bills, you can pay off the mortgage on your family home, make home improvements and repairs, pay off your debts, purchase a car for your healthy spouse, and prepay burial expenses.
There are many other ways to shelter countable assets. Consult an experienced attorney for more information.
Why not simply liquidate all of your assets to pay for your nursing home care? After all, Medicaid will eventually kick in (in most states) once you've exhausted your personal resources. The reason is simple: You want to assist your loved ones financially. You want to be able to leave something to them, rather than to strangers.
There are many ways to protect assets for your loved ones. One way is to use an irrevocable trust. (It's irrevocable in the sense that you can't later change its terms or decide to end it.) Property placed in an irrevocable trust will be excluded from your financial picture, for Medicaid purposes. If you name a proper beneficiary, the principal that you deposit into the trust (and possibly any income generated) will be sheltered from the state and can be preserved for your heirs. Typically, though, the trust must be in place and funded for a specific period of time for this strategy to be an effective Medicaid planning tool.
For information about Medicaid planning trusts, consult an experienced attorney.
Nursing homes are expensive. If you must go to one, will your spouse have enough money to live on? With a little planning, the answer is yes. Here's how Medicaid affects a married couple. A couple's assets are pooled together when the state is considering the eligibility of one spouse for Medicaid. The healthy spouse is entitled to keep a spousal resource allowance that generally amounts to one-half of the assets. This may not amount to much money over the long term.
A healthy spouse may want to use jointly owned, countable assets to buy a single premium immediate annuity to benefit himself or herself. Converting countable assets into an income stream is a plus because each spouse is entitled to keep all of his or her own income, in contrast to the pooling of assets. By purchasing an immediate annuity in this manner, the institutionalized spouse can more easily qualify for Medicaid, and the healthy spouse can enjoy a higher standard of living.
Be aware, however, that for annuities purchased on February 8, 2006 and thereafter (the date of enactment of the Deficit Reduction Act of 2005), the state must be named as the remainder beneficiary of the annuity after your spouse or a minor or disabled child.
Medicaid planning is not without certain risks and drawbacks. In particular, you should be aware of look-back periods, possible disqualification for Medicaid, and estate recoveries.
When you apply for Medicaid, the state has the right to review, or look back, at your finances (and those of your spouse) for a period of months before the date you applied for assistance. In general, a 60-month look-back period exists for transfers of countable assets for less than fair market value (for transfers made prior to February 8, 2006, there's a look-back period of 60 months for transfers into an irrevocable trust and a look-back period of 36 months for all other transfers). Transfers of countable assets for less than fair market value made during the look-back period will usually result in a waiting period before you can start to collect Medicaid. So, for example, if you give your house to your kids the year before you enter a nursing home, you'll be ineligible for Medicaid for quite some time. (A mathematical formula is used.)
Note: In some states, the date the new rules took effect may be different than the federal enactment date of February 8, 2006. Ask an elder law attorney in your state for more information.
Also, you should know that Medicaid planning is more effective in some states than in others. In addition, federal law encourages states to seek reimbursement from Medicaid recipients for Medicaid payments made on their behalf. This means that your state may be able to place a lien on your property while you are alive, or seek reimbursement from your estate after you die.

Celebrations for first experimental Olympic stadium "wrap" artwork
Colourful cuts of the Olympic stadium have found their way into the underbelly of the contemporary art world emerging from the industrial landscape of Hackney Wick, gritty neighbour to the Olympic Park.
The iconic fabric panels, which wrapped the stadium during the Games, have been re-used and transformed to evoke the breaking dawn by London designer Natasha Reid. With the stadium itself as the backdrop, this joyful art installation entitled "AfterParty", celebrates the beginnings of the legacy of the London 2012 Olympic and Paralympic Games. The piece is the first of a series of artworks to be made from the material and was created in under a week following the closure of the Olympic site.
"AfterParty" is being exhibited until 28th October 2012 at Forman's Smokehouse Gallery, found a stone's throw away from the Olympic Park in Hackney Wick, with unparalleled views of the stadium. "AfterParty" is part of the group exhibition, Celebration: The Big Picture.
Natasha Reid, who works between the worlds of architecture and art, has transformed a portion of the 25m long fabric panels using only a Stanley knife, a stapler and some string, in the first of a series of artworks which investigate the concept of an Olympic legacy and the future change it will bring to London and beyond.The material has been cut into slivers, twisted and woven together, each piece like a brush stroke painting a sunrise in a radiant riot of orange, yellow and blue.
Suspended high in the gallery, AfterParty conjures up ideas of a new day after the celebrations of the night before, the advent of the next chapter of the London 2012 Olympic Games now the euphoria has passed. The piece defines a space in the gallery where visitors can reflect upon what they think the after-party of the Games is, with a panoramic view to the very heart of the events themselves; the stadium.
Natasha Reid said:
"By embarking on this project, where the end result would be unknown until the opening of the exhibition I wanted to highlight that in a similar way, the legacy of the Games cannot be predicted until it occurs. The idea of transformation, of positive change, was very important and by re-using and hand-crafting a material from the Olympic stadium itself, the project aims to highlight how even small changes can make a big difference."
The artwork itself was made and installed during an exciting and intensive week due to the timing of the Olympic site shutting down and the opening of the exhibition. Natasha Reid said;
"It all had to happen at the speed of light; the designing, the making, the installation of the piece itself. I had ideas of what I wanted to create, but I could only really start planning what I was going to make once I had collected the material, a week before the exhibition opened. It was incredibly exciting with so many unknowns: Would I be able to cut the material? How I was going to fix it together?"
In the end, the final idea to depict a sunrise only arrived when Natasha laid the material out in her narrow North London garden and realised the blue fabric looked like the night sky, dusted with stars. However, the final piece not only reflects the concept of transformation, but also its form and texture expresses the specific qualities of the fabric, which was cut and shaped in a fluid manner, guided by what the material naturally wanted to do.
Following the success of this first installation, "AfterParty" will transform, grow and adapt to future sites and gallery spaces, inside or outside, creating something totally new each time. Natasha hopes to create the subsequent artworks in collaboration with other artists in order to explore a range of interpretations of the concept of legacy and transformation.
The story so far of the AfterParty project can be found here:
Please note the gallery has unusual opening hours:
Thursday—Friday 5-9pm

Denise Richards' father to wed
Actress DENISE RICHARDS is set to welcome a new stepmother into her life - her father is engaged.
The former Bond girl, 42, reveals her dad, Irv, found love online earlier this year (13) and he has already proposed.
She tells U.S. talk show host Chelsea Handler, "He did one of those dating sites. He's getting married. I think he could have maybe waited a little longer, but whatever."
However, Richards knows few other details about the planned ceremony and she isn't even sure if she'll be invited: "I don't even know when it is! They're probably going to Vegas or something."
Irv Richards lost his wife, the actress' mum, Joni, to kidney cancer in 2007 and, in early 2013, the widower appeared on U.S. dating show Millionaire Matchmaker in the hopes of finding a new partner.
He told matchmaker Patti Stanger he wanted a woman older than his daughter, who he lives with, and added, "I'm not looking for eye candy. I'm looking for real relationship."

Telos needed a new web page design and created a contest on 99designs.
5 winners were selected from 71 designs submitted by 16 freelance designers.
No brand name, since it's templates (to be customized by the user).
** Who We Are **
We run an online web application that helps people in home-based businesses (MLM, network marketing, etc) build and manage their own web sites.
A step by step process guides our users through picking a template, adding content and publishing.
** What We Need **
We need to fill our website builder with functional, beautiful templates for them to choose from. This is where you come in!
We currently only have a basic template created quickly as an example. It includes all the elements you need to design. You won't need to add any elements or get creative with content. Everything we need designed is already on the web for you to preview! http://design.soleavenue.com
All you need to do is take what content we have and throw your style into it. Colorize it, texturize it, imagize it.
** Better chances! **
We will be choosing multiple designs, so you have a much better chance to make some dough!
Our users are home-based business professionals marketing their products and/or business opportunity through our website building tool. They will try to market their products over the internet, as well as recruit people to their business. They are in the nutrition and wellness industry, so you're designs should reflect that.
There are essentially two types of templates we need: 1) business opportunity and 2) nutrition/wellness product.
You are welcome to design templates for one type specifically, or a mix of both.
** Business opportunity templates **
Be careful not to be too "corporate" when designing. We want the business oriented templates to be warm and inviting, but still professional.
** Nutrition/wellness templates **
Our users will mainly be talking about nutrition, being healthy, taking supplements, etc. Again, warm an inviting is good. We'd also like to see some very creative elements (perhaps edgy) as well.
** A little bit more **
Most of our users are 30-50 year old women. However, we're starting to break into a much younger (and male) crowd, so don't make them old fashioned or *too* feminine.
This business is built on trust and a personal relationship.
** Basics **
We've build a basic design to give you something to start with. As we said before, all the elements we want are on that page. You don't need to add any content to what is already there. We simply want you to restyle what content current exists!

Anyone doubting our evolutionary tie to other apes should check out that Philadelphia festival of food and fun known as Wing Bowl. The annual event has some striking parallels to behavior outlined in the article "Chimpanzee Hunting Behavior and Human Evolution," which appeared in the magazine American Scientist.
Chimpanzees sometimes "go on hunting binges, in which they kill a large number of monkeys and other animals over a period of several days or weeks," the article states. The hunting is done mostly by males, though there are a few female hunters and the party is joined by many other females in estrus (heat), who help turn the event into an orgy of sex and monkey eating.
Wing Bowl, which will take place this Friday, has much in common with this chimpanzee ritual, except the monkeys are replaced by pre-killed chicken wings, and the abundantly fertile females may just be advertising, not delivering.
Beneath the surface, however, there is an essential difference: Top competitors engage in eating feats that push the outer limits of the human body's capacity, some consuming more than 200 wings within 30 minutes.
From an evolutionary perspective, Wing Bowl, despite its Animal House atmosphere, highlights something uniquely human: The discipline on display here may represent part of what sets our species apart from other animals in our artistic and technological achievements.
The top competitors in Wing Bowl are experienced speed-eating champions, many of them experts at downing hot dogs, hamburgers, eggs, and tacos. Speed eating so fascinated gastroenterologist David Metz that in 2007, he asked one of these champs to perform in his University of Pennsylvania laboratory after swallowing a barium tracer.
Then the speed eater was compared with a "control" — a normal but big guy with a healthy appetite, who ate seven hot dogs and promptly felt sick.
The eating champ, who was 5 feet, 10 inches and then weighed a fit 165 pounds, "consumed two hot dogs at a time to facilitate rapid ingestion," Metz wrote in a paper published in the American Journal of Roentgenology. "At 10 minutes, the speed eater had eaten a total of 36 hot dogs. His stomach now appeared as a massively distended, food-filled sac occupying most of the upper abdomen." From the outside, Metz wrote, the man looked pregnant. Over the speed eater's objections, the gastroenterologist stopped the test, afraid something might burst.
That led Metz of Penn's Perelman School of Medicine to wonder whether speed eating didn't reveal a latent form of an ability humans share with predatory animals for whom speed eating is a matter of life or death. While we humans are adapted to eat a so-called omnivorous diet, we share the same basic body plan with other mammals that are natural-born eating champs. The Philadelphia Zoo's curator of carnivores, Tammy Schmidt, reports lions can eat 50 to 75 pounds of meat at one meal.
Snakes can top this by eating animals that outweigh them, said herpetologist Scott Boback of Dickinson College in Carlisle, Pa. "You're talking about an animal that can eat 125 percent of its body mass in one sitting," he said, or more accurately, in one bite. Typical meals for snakes include chipmunks, squirrels, gophers, and rats.
Not all snakes can do this, Boback said, and the first snakes probably didn't, but around 100 million years ago, mammals started to become more plentiful, offering a food source for any snake that could manage to eat them. Venom is key, since the snake's dinner selections sometimes have teeth and claws, Boback said.
Rattlesnakes inject their venom and withdraw their heads in time to avoid having them bitten off. The bite not only kills the prey animal, it also acts as a tracer. The victim usually runs some distance away before dying, but the scent of the venom enables the snake to find it.
And then, when it's time for dinner, the snake's lower jaw unhinges in the middle, Boback said, enabling the snake to swallow the victim whole and begin digesting it, bones and all.
For the snake, digestion is a race against bacteria, which could cause the victim to rot, he said. To break down the prey, snakes use digestive enzymes similar to ours, but more powerful.
"Snakes do not get reflux," he said, which is pretty amazing, all things considered.
Still, lions and snakes developed their natural abilities over eons of evolution. For our species, eating 36 hot dogs in 10 minutes or 200 wings in 30 doesn't come naturally. This is a form not of gluttony, but instead of extreme discipline.
Some of the most formidable eaters are thin, most notably the size-zero Sonya Thomas, also known as the "Black Widow," who won the Wing Bowl in 2004 with 167 wings. Her resumé includes other victories in which she ate 42 soft tacos in 11 minutes and 65 hard-boiled eggs in 6 minutes, 40 seconds.
The average human body may not seem impressive compared to stronger, faster, more powerful animals, but we humans have discipline, so outliers never fail to amaze, whether they are ultra marathoners, memory champions, or contortionists in Cirque du Soleil. Perhaps lack of discipline could explain why other animals such as elephants and marine mammals show signs of high intelligence but never seem to get anything done — no cathedrals, no cars, no contributions to the Large Hadron Collider, and no space program.
Without discipline, Wing Bowl would really be no different from the chimpanzees' monkey bowl — just another party.

As spring training rapidly approaches, perhaps the New York Mets' most interesting bid of news this week, was Matt Harvey's statements he expects to start throwing Feb. 22, a week after pitchers and catchers report.
"They said I should be able to start throwing four months after the surgery, and that's Feb. 22,'' Harvey said. "|And I haven't had any setbacks. I can't wait. Even if it's 10 feet, I just want to pick up a ball. As if right now, I don't see why I wouldn't be able to do that.''
The worry about Harvey is he'll push the envelope. The accepted recovery time for rehab from Tommy John surgery is 12 months, which Harvey said he wants to beat.
Nonetheless, he vows not to push it.
"I completely agree that I shouldn't come back too soon,'' Harvey said. "I haven't touched a baseball yet, so I don't know how things are going to go once that happens. But if things are still progressing and it shows I'm ready to go and I get cleared, I want to be able to play.''
There's the rub.
The dilemma is hypothetical: What will the Mets do if they find themselves in wild-card contention in September? Will they keep him down or let him loose?
Already in his young career Harvey has tried to pitch through, and/or ignore pain. He didn't say anything after tweaking his back and missed a start. Later, he said nothing about soreness in his forearm, which eventually led to the surgery.
Pitchers must learn to differentiate between pain and injury. Nonetheless, he must be more forthcoming in reporting pain and discomfort to the training staff. He's not informed or trained enough to make his own diagnosis.
A pitcher's arm is a fragile and precious thing. Harvey has a bright future and the last thing he needs to do is jeopardize it by being reckless with his health, which can be concluded by his comments about wanting to be able to pitch in September.
Regardless of where the Mets are in the standings or how well they are playing in September, Harvey should not be allowed to pitch this year. There should be no discussion or consideration about it.
The Mets have a reputation of playing fast and loose with injuries – see David Wright, Carlos Beltran, Ryan Church and Johan Santana, among others – and with their future seemingly on the upswing, don't blow it now.
Everybody needs to be smart about this, even if it comes down to protecting Harvey from himself.

CORONA DEL MAR — Winter sports are here, but the members of the Corona del Mar High girls' basketball team are understandably still quite interested in the school's last fall sports squad competing.
The CdM football team plays for its second straight CIF Southern Section Southern Division title at 2 p.m. Saturday at Angel Stadium. The girls' basketball team also has to play its last game of the CdM Tip-Off Classic on the same day.
The more games the CdM girls win in the tournament, the later their game on Saturday, which means more time for football watching.
"That's more incentive for us to win," CdM Coach Mark Decker said.
It's less of an issue now after his team moved to the semifinals Wednesday night with a 51-40 victory over Mission Viejo at CdM. The Sea Kings (2-0) will play Segerstrom in the semifinals at 7:30 p.m. Thursday at CdM.
The third-place game is Saturday at 5:30 p.m. at Northwood High, with the title game to follow at 7 p.m.
Corona del Mar (2-0) appears to be capable of winning the 16-team tournament for the first time since 2008. The Sea Kings have size inside with 6-foot-1 freshmen Krista Anderson and Natalie Bruening, and talent on the perimeter with players like junior guards Kate Thompson, Katie Scott, Chanel Wosoughkia and Keaton Gaughan.
"I think we're going to win [the tournament]," said Anderson, who led the winners with 12 points and 18 rebounds, in addition to two blocked shots Wednesday. "I hope so. I think that if we play like we did today, we'll do great."
Mission Viejo (1-1) pressed the Sea Kings most of the game, with varying levels of success. But the Diablos backed off by the end.
"We definitely figured it out in the second half," Decker said. "They dropped out of their press, because we started tearing it apart. That's what we have to do. Most teams are going to need to press us, or try, because we have the size advantage."
CdM trailed, 17-14, early in the second quarter. But a three-pointer by Scott helped spark a 14-2 run, and the Sea Kings opened up a 31-26 halftime lead.
Mission Viejo tied the score at 35-35 late in the third quarter on two free throws by sophomore forward Samantha Leyds, who had a game-high 20 points.
But the Sea Kings scored 11 straight points to gain control.
The Diablos missed their first 12 shots of the fourth quarter before a runner by Leyds with 3:10 left in the game.
Bruening battled early foul trouble but finished with 11 points, seven rebounds and six blocks for CdM.
Scott scored all nine of her points in the second quarter, and Wosoughkia chipped in nine points and seven rebounds off the bench.
Thompson had five points for CdM, and led all players with eight steals.
Segerstrom will not be an easy opponent for the Sea Kings in the semifinals. The Jaguars are the defending tournament champions, and beat CdM in the semifinals last year.
"They're very good," Decker said. "They're the top-seeded team on our side [of the bracket], so we know we have our hands full. I think it'll be a good, competitive game. I'm looking forward to it."
CdM Tip-Off Classic

Though the weather in NYC might be indicating otherwise, Spring is here and the Spring wine tasting events are in full swing. I had the opportunity (& good fortune) to attend two such tastings the past few days. The first was a Chianti event down in the Meatpacking area. It was a partially outdoor venue and was well attended with a good crowd tasting the wines and speaking with winemakers.
What has been of most interest in the world of wine to ME lately are really unique wines; those wines that stand out as different in one way or another from others. In general that "different" comes from aromas detected as soon as I put my nose in the glass. And not all different is good. Sometimes different is medicinal, oxidized or otherwise unpleasant. But picking up on aromas that are not familiar to me is always fun. And while the diversity of styles at the Chianti tasting was limited by the fact that all the wines came from the same region, there was a pleasantly surprising assortment of wine styles present.
The wines that stood out that afternoon were the simply made DOCG Chianti wines; those made mostly from Sangiovese and aged in either concrete or stainless steel tanks – not seeing any barrel aging. The wines were fresh & lively, fruity, well made and easily drinkable. These are wines I think a large percentage of people can appreciate as wines that don't need a big steak to pair it with, instead great for sipping on their own or pairing with a more diverse range of foods.
What was pretty amazing to me is how many of these quality producers don't currently have US importers and were at the tasting seeking representation. I hope I'll be able to help them out in one capacity or another as I embark on my next project.
The second tasting was a very different type of tasting. It was Wine Spectator's "Grand Tour". I've attended the WS tasting once before but was not prepared. WS attracts some world renown wineries and I discovered them once they were all out of wine. I was not going to make the same mistake twice.
First Growth Bordeaux…not the easiest first wine for a palate, but I was not going to miss out this time. 2004 Chaueau Margaux. 2007 Chateau Haut-Brion. OH MY. Both wines are babies and were in my (very inexperienced when it comes to top Bordeaux) opinion not showing too much about what makes them special, but they were beautifully aromatic, velvety soft and had long yummy finishes. What a TREAT!
I got to taste some great Premier Cru Burgundy, some Barolo, Super Tuscans, WS's #1 wine for the year the CVNE 2004 Gran Reserva Rioja and enough Champagne to plaster a big smile on my face for several days! But there were also some very "fancy" (expensive) wines that didn't do it for me. They were in most cases good, but they didn't really stand out to me as special and were certainly not wines I would spend my coin on (if I had that kind of coin). In the end though, I marked about 30 wines I hoped to taste and figured I'd be in & out within an hour. I ended up being there for just shy of the full 3 hours and tasted over 60 wines. It was really a special night and I am super appreciative of my industry friend who helped me procure my ticket.
Takeaway for you…forget the score, forget the rating…trust your palate and when given the opportunity buy a wine YOU TASTED first rather than one someone else insists you will love.
Happy Spring Wine Tasting!

Comics - CASTERMAN ´ L'oeil Ãtait dans la tombe ª
February 16, 2008
´ L'oeil Ãtait dans la tombe ª (The eye was in the grave) with WC Roughtrad in the title. A book by Christian De Metter is never a book like the others. He works on direct coloring and creates boards which can be compared to real paintings. His style is original, easily recognizable and most of all gives an unbelievable feeling of life. Emotion is transcended by his drawings. And in this specific book, the story features a deep emotional dimension. Christian De Metter tells about the damages caused by some memories buried deep inside the main character's mind since his childhood. Drams, scenes and words will suddenly trigger a pernicious mechanism, leading to madness for that man. This terrific tragedy is perfectly put into scene by De Metter. Despite its detective novel style, the book leads us through the different steps of this eventually deadly neurotic, placing us into a tense atmosphere. What can be more frightening and dangerous than a man who seems to be normal but who reveals to be a monster?The story's rhythm is lively and the reader immediately dives into the story and won't stop until he knows. Many thanks to typotect for having given such a nice layout to the WC Roughtrad Bta, I am proud of it.

I'm not a big fan of Hemingway, but there's a short story I've always loved about lonely old men drinking. A Clean, Well-Lighted Place, it's called, and it deals with escape from consuming nothingness in the company of strangers.
The Details
- At Neonopolis, 471-0056. 24/7.
I thought of the café in the story when I walked into the bar at Denny's. That's not a typo. The Denny's at Neonopolis has a bar. Come spring it'll have a chapel, too, so you'll be able to get sauced, get married and celebrate with Moons Over My Hammy. I was looking for a drink, not a husband, so I sat in front of the taps with my back to the giant windows (I'd seen enough of Smurfette for one night) and got cozy.
The cocktail menu, familiar plastic inside a sleek metal binder, offers spins like the Grand Slamosa (mimosa with a shot of Grand Marnier), classics like the Bloody Good Mary (with Major Peters' mix, Bakon vodka and a horseradish sidecar), and dessert-in-a-glass like the Chocolate Toasted Almond (Kahlúa, Amaretto, vanilla ice cream, whipped cream and chocolate syrup and shavings). The most expensive cocktail on the menu is $6.50, though you can order a $23 shot of Martell Cordon Bleu Cognac. Beers run $2.50-$3.50, and a short list of red, white and sparkling wine runs $6-$14 a glass. Screw happy hour—this place is ecstatic 24/7.
I ordered a Cosmo ($4.50!) and struck up a conversation with a pair of guys at the bar. They had abandoned their buddies at a casino steakhouse and laughed when those buddies were still waiting for food by the time they tucked into hot breakfasts and enormous beers. Andy and Pete (both in the golf business, both from the Midwest) felt no guilt about ditching their friends for America's diner. Pete mentioned that his "lady-friend" was hinting about marriage, and I asked if he would make her an honest woman at this Denny's. He just smiled and gulped his drink.
Lowball Diary
As bartender Marco mixed a Grand Slamarita ($6.50!) to go with a jalapeño-laced burger the size of my head, he let me pour out my heart about long-distance love. I said I missed the everyday small things. "No spooning," he said, getting it better than my best girlfriend. Then he shared a recent epiphany about the woman he loves, and his excitement about getting a second job, quitting smoking and starting the Insanity workout to pump up his "two-and-a-half-pack." Marco taught me about Detroit ZipSauce, and that crickets can endure 100 times more radiation than cockroaches. That roped a tattoo artist named Eli into the dialogue, and he warned us never to put names on our skin. Soon bartender Rene was singing some Three Dog Night: "Eli's comin', hide your heart, girl." I felt like a character on a show with a great ensemble cast and no plot. Even the hot-toddy drinker who chatted me up about corporate benefits was memorable.
Strangers became more, and nothingness got its ass kicked by connection. That's what's missing from so many Vegas bars and what Hemingway's loners hoped to find in their clean, well-lighted place. Had they known about the $4 mojito at Denny's, I think the story would have had a happier ending.
