Q: Plotly Dash How to get user input via slider to update values in plot I have an output variable (REC2) that is inversely dependent on a number of fixed factors and an input variable (REC1).  My oiginal code took the fixed factors and REC1 (hard coded in) and calculated REC2. This part works as I would like.
I then plagiarised from the Ploty Dash website and came up with the following code.  The plot displays correctly but the slider doesn't. I think it's the 'marks' line but I don't know how to set it up.  I'd like it to go from 0 to -2000 in steps of 50.

A: I've updated to work in a jupyter environment.

*

*you are creating a mark for every value between -2000 and 0.  These then overlap and you get a black line that are the markers

*changed dict comprehension to create marks every 200

*changed Slider step to be 50 as you note

The West Tennessee Amateur Radio Society was first incorporated in February,1958 in Jackson Tennessee. The name of the club at that time was Jackson Radio Club, Incorporated. We are an ARRL affiliated club. The club has monthly meetings at the Jackson-Madison County EMA office at McKellar-Sipes Regional Airport. We meet at 7:00 P.M. on the first Thursday of each month. Many of the club members are also ARES and RACES members. They support the Jackson-Madison County Emergency Management Agency. The ARES/RACES group meets the third Thursday of each month at the same location.
Several civic events are supported each year, including the Bagels and Bluegrass Century Bicycle race, several 5K events, and the Jackson Christmas parade. We take part in ARRL Field Day and the Tennessee QSO Party. In addition, we have Emergency Communications drills throughout the year.
If you are looking for fun, fellowship, education, and service in Amateur Radio, here are some reasons to join the West Tennessee Amateur Radio Society (WTARS). The West Tennessee Amateur Radio Society has been around, in one form or another, for fifty years. WTARS serves all of West Tennessee. The members have use of several VHF and UHF repeaters, as well as Internet-linked packet radio. "WF4Q" is the FCC-designated call sign for the West Tennessee Amateur Radio Society. "WF4Q" is used by operators of special events stations, club activities, sponsored events, SKYWARN and Field Day. Operators using "WF4Q" are acting as the Net-Control station. In such directed-net activities, all stations on the frequency should follow the directions from "WF4Q." Our radio repeaters are usually open unless some sort of drill, emergency situation, or severe weather event is going on. If you choose to use our repeaters, we ask that you become a member. Dues are $24 per year.
Founded in 1912, the ARRL is the national organization representing Amateur Radio interests in the United States. As radio amateurs, our single greatest resource is our frequencies. This requires representation in World Administrative Radio Conferences (WARC), Congress, and the Federal Communication Commission (FCC). For more information on the ARRL, go to http://www.arrl.org.
The West Tennessee Amateur Radio Society is dedicated to advancement and growth of the Amateur Radio service, and usually meets every first Thursday of each month. The meetings usually start around 7 PM in the EOC (Emergency Operations Center) office inside the EMA building at the McKellar-Sipes Airport, 239 Grady Montgomery Drive in Jackson, Tennessee. Occasionally, some meetings are scheduled for different days or locations, such as in local area restaurants. All meetings are open to the public, and visitors are welcome.
Thank you for your interest in WTARS and our radio repeaters. We hope you will seriously consider becoming a member of the West Tennessee Amateur Radio Society. The WTARS is a non-profit Tennessee corporation.
All of the WTARS radio repeater sites have battery back-up and are built with severe weather in mind. The National Weather Service, the MEDMERS, the Red Cross, and the Tennessee Emergency Management Agency all make use of WTARS radio repeaters during actual emergencies and disasters. Our radio repeaters are usually open unless some sort of drill, emergency situation, or severe weather event is going on. If you choose to use our repeaters, we ask that you become a member. Dues are around $24 per year. It costs a lot of money to maintain the system, and we cannot do it without your support. The success of the system is directly related to the wonderful support we have had from the amateur radio community over the past years.
You can connect one computer to another through amateur radio by using a packet radio TNC/transceiver. Use local node JCK59 or HUN59 on 145.590 MHz, and JCK01 on 145.010 MHz. A Winlink Packet RMS Gateway is on 145.050 MHz. The callsign is NQ4U-10.
NQ4U-10 is for Winlink 2000 (WL2K) traffic only, not the classic packet operating.

Self-Defense/Prepping:
First, Active Response System's most recent Weekend Knowledge Dump.
"What to Do in an Active Shooter Situation"--The Art of Manliness. Note this factoid: "In a study done by the FBI in 2014, it was discovered that most active shootings end in 2 minutes or less. That's not enough time for law enforcement to arrive. So when you start hearing gunshots in places you shouldn't be hearing gunshots, understand that you don't have very much time to think about what you should do."
"Drinking Swimming Pool Water in an Emergency"--Modern Survival Blog. I would be worried about chlorine levels, but the article (and some others I looked at) indicate that the level of chlorine should be fine. But they warn that the water will quickly (within a few days) become dirty if your pump/filter have stopped working or if your chlorine levels begin to drop. An interesting fact: "160 billion gallons of water that is stored in swimming pools across America. That is the equivalent of 1,500 gallons of water for every household in America, theoretically enough water to sustain each household (a family of four) for a year (except for evaporation) if all other sources of water were to become inaccessible for some disastrous reason." Of course, the swimming pools tend to be concentrated in the warmer, suburban neighborhoods, but that is good for people in those dry regions.

"Police officer opens fire on teen running towards his school gymnasium while carrying a gun - and manages to shoot the pistol out of his hand"--The Daily Mail. This may indicate that the officer was too focused on the suspect's weapon, directing his aim at the weapon instead of center of mass.
"Submit Your Paperwork NOW: ATF Ruling on Trusts for NFA Transfers Still Due January 2016"--The Truth About Guns. The author expects that the ATF will proceed with new rules requiring trusts to obtain the sign-off of the local chief law enforcement officer in order to obtain an NFA regulated firearm.
The World In Which We Live:
"Hive Mind"--West Hunter. "Garrett Jones has a new book out: Hive Mind. He argues that 'while individual IQ scores predict our independent success moderately well, a country's average score is a remarkable bellwether of its general prosperity.'"
"Muhammad and People of the Lie"--New English Review. A 2011 article that is still very relevant today.
Related: "The video of revelers cheering 9/11 that no one got to see"--New York Post.
On the afternoon of Sept. 11, 2001, thousands of jubilant Palestinians took to the streets, chanting "God is great," firing automatic weapons and handing out sweets to passers-by. The largest demonstration took place in Nablus in the West Bank, where some 3,000 marchers danced and cheered as guerrillas fired assault rifles and grenades into the air.
Many journalists were on the scene, but they were forcibly detained in a hotel by armed Palestinian security forces to prevent coverage of the rally. One cameraman — a freelance AP reporter — nevertheless managed to film some of the celebration.
The next day, members of Tanzim, the military arm of Fatah, physically threatened the cameraman and warned AP not to air the material. A cabinet secretary for the Palestinian government told the Associated Press that the government could not "guarantee the life" of the cameraman if the film were broadcast.
The Palestinian information minister explained to the Washington Post that the coercive tactics "were not against the freedom of the press but in order to ensure our national security and our national interest. We will not permit a few kids here or there to smear the real face of the Palestinians."
The threat worked. After initially declining to confirm the incident, the AP bureau chief in Jerusalem acknowledged the intimidation and the news organization's capitulation to it. On Sept. 14, 2001, the news organization made known that "in light of the danger," it wouldn't release the video for world broadcast because "the safety of our staff is paramount. At this point we believe there to be a serious threat to our staff if the video is released."
Fourteen years later, the historic footage from 9/11 remains inaccessible to public view.
"Who Lost Eurasia?"--Robert Zubrin at PJ Media. Europe's helplessness by accident or design?
"ISIL/Da'esh and 'non-conventional' weapons of terror" (PDF)--a report to the European Parliament. Basically, the report indicates that ISIS has reportedly used chlorine gas and mustard gas (easily manufactured from common chemical constituents), and may have access to more advanced nerve agents developed by Syria. Based on the group's rhetoric, the authors of the report warn that ISIS may seek to use a chemical weapon or dirty bomb (conventional explosive used to spread a radioactive material) in Europe. So, an awful lot of ifs and nothing concrete.
San Bernardino Shooting:
"Jihadi bride led the way at party massacre: Tashfeen Malik opened fire first as her husband hesitated, report reveals - amid claims that she 'wore the pants' in the marriage"--Daily Mail.
"'Momma's boy' Farook was fiercely religious conservative, told his dad he shared the ideology of ISIS and wanted to eliminate Israel"--Daily Mail.
"San Bernardino Terrorist's Politics Were 'Very Liberal,' According To His Dating Website Profile"--The Daily Caller.
"Shooter's Mother Active In US Branch Of Pro-Caliphate Islamic Group"--The Daily Caller.
So, is terrorism generally carried out by r-selecting people?

Is There A Casino Resort Coming To North Queensland?
Isn't it nice to see casino moguls other than James Packer in the spotlight? Packer is without doubt the industry's most outspoken Australian, and we have had a pretty good seat to hear about his plans both to dominate the casino scene here in Australia, and to draw in overseas customers, making Australia's casino resorts into world-class tourist destinations.
It's all in aid of luring the 'whales' – those high-roller, VIP guests that can literally make or break a casino in fairly short order – to his casinos, because Packer believes that where the whales are, there also lies success.
And it looks like he might not be the only one, as news starts to filter out of plans to build Aquis Great Barrier Reef Resort. The proposal that has been put to the Queensland Government is an impressive one, and not without ambition, to say the least.
In the submission's own words, it 'will be Australia's only genuine, world-class, integrated resort. North Queensland is missing the man-made wonder of the world, which is presented in Aquis.' Quite a claim to back up, but we're talking about development on an epic scale.
A project costing more than AU$4billion, Aquis would include more than 7000 hotel rooms, apartments and staff units to accommodate guests who would be looked after by an army of as many as 10,000 permanent staff. The huge complex – 343 hectares, according to the proposal – would include a 25,000-seater stadium, a convention centre, nine hotels, a golf course and one of the largest gaming floors in the world.
And all of this is the ambition of Tony Fung, a Hong Kong-based billionaire who can clearly give James Packer a run for his money when it comes to putting together schemes for making Australia a casino destination that's the match of any in the world.
Of course, this is just the start of the process for Aquis, and we'd have to see lots more detail before we could reasonably make up our minds as to whether we think it would be a good thing for casinos here in Australia (and especially for casino-lovers here in Australia).
Comments on Is There A Casino Resort Coming To North Queensland?


In this tattoo, a number of natural elements have been used. The key focus is on the cross and the praying hands at the bottom. The enriched caricature with black ink looks elegant. Trees, birds and several other objects of nature have been used in the tattoo.
This is a large and elongated tattoo, covering the entire forearm. It features Jesus in a cross and a pair of praying hands at the top. The background is set with a complex radiation of rays from the cross. The thick lines of in are projected outwards and cover the hands.
If you want to be a bit experimental with the praying hands tattoo design, you may add floral elements like rose to it. In this tattoo, the key focus lies on the praying hands. A beaded garland is entangled around it, and a cross is hanging from the garland. The pink rose looks bright and conspicuous at the bottom.
Shoulder tattoos are popular in different parts of the world. This particular design may make you look elegant, with a pair of praying hands and a cross. The fine intricate shades in the hand makes the design sleek. The cross hangs from a garland wrapped around the hand.
Neck tattoos are common among tattoo-lovers. To strike a change, go for a conspicuous pair of praying hands in the throat region. It is a delicate piece of art, with rich lines of ink and shows energy radiating from the pair of praying hands in all the directions.
This particular tattoo design is ideal for the chest region. It is small and delicate, with sharp black lines and prominent edges. A semi-circular band of leaves mark the bottom of the tattoo. It is a simple yet beautiful style of incorporating tattoos above the heart.
This tattoo comes with a quote. The pair of praying hands is marked with dark and light patches of ink. It is a sophisticated piece of art, without much caricature with the ink. Still, the inherent beauty of the tattoo makes it a classy choice.
You may opt for this bright yet detailed tattoo for the arms. The pair of praying hands comes with two crosses. A large cross forms the background of the tattoo, while a smaller one hangs from the hands, dangling with a beaded thread.
When you opt for hand tattoo designs, make sure that the right shades are incorporated with the ink. You may consider the complexion of your skin before opting for a particular design. The thickness of the lines and the intricate detail also play a decisive role in the choice of tattoos. Choose the tattoos perfectly to streamline your fashionable looks.

Q: How can I use mass assignment together with two model? I have a user model (User). I also have a profile model for this user (Profile).
What I want to do; Batch transferring data from an only form to these two models in the ProfileController@update method. But I could not fully grasp this issue. And what's the best practice to do this? I do not know if there is any article I haven't looked at... If you can explain it to me with an example, I would be very happy.
Thank you very much in advance
Here are some codes:
ProfileController@update
    public function update(UpdateUserRequest $request, \App\Models\Profile $profile)
    {
        $request->authorize('update', $request->profile);

        // Get all data
        $data = $request->except(['_token', '_method', 'password_confirmation']);

        if($data['password'] == null) {
            unset($data['password']);
        }

        $profile->user($data);
        $profile->update($data);

        toast(__("Profil bilgileriniz başarıyla güncellendi"), 'success');
        return redirect(show_route($profile));
    }

App\Models\Profile.php

batsman in the side has the ability to win games single handedly and the hoopla around him is something he cannot do anything about.
"This (obsession) is something that I don't believe in, at all. Whatever batsmen we have, all of them have so much ability that every one of them can single-handedly turn any game," Kohli told reporters on the eve of India's first rubber here.
"This is something I believe in 120 per cent, and even they have faith in themselves. On the outside what people think, we cannot control. I cannot tell people to not to talk about it or write about it," he added.
A lot of talk has been on how to stop Kohli from getting runs in this part of the world where the World's No.1 batsman has enjoyed enormous success in his last visit.
At Adelaide Oval, Kohli has three hundreds from two Tests. "I love coming to this ground, the city in general. I really enjoy the city, I don't know what the connection is, but I just feel really good here. Not to say that the performances are always guaranteed in a certain place but yes, coming to Adelaide I feel different from places that I have gone in the world and that's been the case," said Kohli.
Asked about the Australian team's mindset post the ball tampering saga, Kohli said: "I don't think, personally, any team should be totally negative after something like that happens (ball-tampering scandal).

Google has updated its Chrome browser for iOS with support for its Physical Web standard, which allows smart devices to communicate with your phone without the need for other apps.
This refers to Google's open source protocol that lets connected devices like parking meters and bus stops send URLs straight to Chrome's Today view widget for actions like payments or checking how long you'll have to wait for your ride.
The company says it's only begun exploring how this technology can make users' lives easier, so it's not clear exactly how widely available Physical Web devices are just now.
In addition, the update brings a a much-requested feature to Chrome: swiping to navigate between pages.
When browsing pages in a single tab, you can go back by swiping from left to right, and forward by swiping from right to left. This saves you the two taps previously needed to bring up the toolbar and hit the navigation buttons.

Q: I would like to grep all files except some file types? How do I recursively grep files within a given folders except a couple file types?
For example, I'm looking for a string within my workspace folder but it ends up searching inside sql files and generates serialized strings.
So in this case, I'd like to grep the workspace folder except sql files.
I'm preferably looking for a one-liner if possible.

A: If you have GNU grep you can use the --exclude=GLOB option, like
grep -r --exclude='*.sql' pattern dir/

A: This will do that for you and exclude .sql and .txt files:
find /some/dir -type f ! -name '*\.sql' ! -name '*.txt' -print0 | xargs -0 grep 'foobar'

However it sounds like ack would be a far better tool for what you're trying to do:
ack -a --nosql 'foobar' /some/dir


Netflix, beautiful, beautiful Netflix shall be gifting us yet another romcom starring the internet's boyfriend Noah Centineo. And, because the TV gods are being good to us, he will once again star as a fake boyfriend. This time to Laura Marano and Riverdale's Camila Mendes.
The streaming giant's See What's Next Twitter posted two piccies from the upcoming movie, which according to IMDb, is currently in post-production.
SURE, that sounds awful and something you might find on Wattpad but I will still watch the hell out of it.
Everyone looks so gorgeous, I'm READY.
FUN FACT: Noah once played Dallas, an old crush of Laura's Austin & Ally character from back in her Disney days.
So, according to IMDb, Noah stars as Brooks Rattigan, Camila stars as Shelby Pace, and Laura plays Celia Lieberman.
Through the journey of being a different person every night of the week, he finds out that the real Brooks Rattigan isn't who he thought at all and to his surprise falls for the real girl of his dreams…..
The Perfect Date will hit your tellies this winter.
Sometime after that, we can expect the To All The Boys I've Loved Before sequel which was recently confirmed by Noah and his brilliant co-star Lana Condor.

That "feeling small" feeling. I've never been able to articulate it, but I thought I might as well try because somehow you guys still read my posts even when they're bad… J Have I mentioned y'all are awesome?
Before you point out the obvious that I am already small (I'm 5'2, and what's even more pathetic is that I got the height in my family…), let me try to explain.
It's a feeling of beautiful insignificance, realizing I am a small piece of a puzzle with infinite pieces. It's a feeling of gazing in wonder at the grandeur of our world. It's a feeling of accepting your situation and understanding that your problems are small setbacks to the greater plan. It's a feeling of calm, of contentment, of awe.
I live for this feeling.
But do you know what I'm talking about????? If you don't, you haven't experienced it. And you need to.
Finding something that makes you feel that feeling is soooooooo important.
The feeling humbles you while also empowering you. It relaxes you, but also challenges you. It makes you feel like, for a few minutes, that your problems aren't really problems, and who wouldn't want to feel like that?
Every time I start to get a big head, about something I never deserved to have a big head about it in the first place, I go stargaze. I lie there and look at the thousands of stars and I think about how I am one small person, of 7 billion, of one planet, in an entire galaxy… And it helps me get a reality check.
Every time I start to feel powerful, I go stargaze. I lie there and look at the thousands of stars and think about all that I don't know. I think about all that I will never know. I think about the whole universe and how we know only small, small pieces of it.
Every time I start to feel in control, I lie there and look at the thousands of stars and wait for a shooting star. One never comes. And I laugh, remembering that I am not in control. And to this day I've never seen one. Because I'm too controling.
Every time I feel absolutely exhausted, I lie there and look at the thousands of stars and think about how I'm alive and these stars are not and what a life I have to live.
Where and how do you feel that feeling? And how do you articulate it?
Live for that feeling. We are small, my friends, so very small.
I KNOW that feeling…it was defining to realize that ANYONE could do my job – but I have been given this opportunity…it is constantly encouraging to be the worker bee in a setting – because the bigger picture is about something else…one of my "largest" moments was lying under the stars in the South Pacific, the only light from the billions of stars, and knowing that I mattered to an ever large & precious God. Hope you are well.
Hope, you have an amazing (and enviable) ability to use words to evoke feelings. Keep up the excellent work with your blog posts. See you in August!


The Elizabethtown Area School District will consider implementing a therapy dog program for the 2019-20 school year.
At its meeting on Tuesday, Dec. 18, the school board heard an overview from school nurse Brandon Aukamp, home and school visitor Jennifer Kenny and school counselor Amy Robinson.
Therapy dogs "provide an immediate, tangible option to support students and staff to remove barriers to education," Kenny said. Kenny said therapy dogs can decrease anxiety and control depression, noting that 476 district students visited guidance counselors for social, emotional and personal issues from the start of the school year through November.
Projected application for the therapy dog or dogs would include Aevidum, ESL, life skills, autistic support, new student tours, crisis, occupational therapy, speech and other needs.
Presenters looked to nearby school districtsthat have already implemented similar pet therapy programs, including Lampeter Strasburg, Penn Manor and Cocalico. Aukamp addressed potential plans for dog-free zones, initial cost and funding from community partners, building and grounds cleaning and maintenance, determining handlers and general dog maintenance.
Pending approval, involved parties hope to formalize a therapy dog plan with further details by April 2019.
In another matter, Richard Schwarzman, assistant to the superintendent for student support services and compliance, explained the new Future Ready PA Index as a precursor to the K12 analyses to be presented by Daniel Serfass, assistant to the superintendent for learning, in January 2019.
The Pennsylvania Department of Education created The Future Ready PA Index to serve as Pennsylvania's one-stop location for comprehensive information about school success. The index uses a dashboard model to highlight how schools are performing and making progress on multiple indicators.
"It's not a comparison; it's a collaboration tool," Schwarzman added. The board intends to evaluate school data — released in late November — before taking action regarding index results and student progress.
Business manager George Longridge presented an update on the 2019-20 budget, including revised projections for salaries, benefits, other large expenses, and revenue and estimates on special education referendum exception.
While numbers will not be finalized until closer to the end of fiscal year (June 30), Longridge provided projected budget increases with a total initial expenditure increase of $3,987,268. This includes factors such as salaries, building and department budgets and technology.
To offset the expenditure increase, Longridge anticipates a revenue increase of approximately $2.2 million. This is due largely in part to a 2.9 percent increase in real estate tax that will generate $1.2 million in revenue to support the district.
In other business, the board voted unanimously to: Appoint a representative to the Lancaster-Lebanon Joint Authority to serve a five-year term beginning Jan. 1; to approve Policy Manual updates 105 (Curriculum), 138 (Language Instruction Educational Program for English Learners) and 302 (Employment of Superintendent/Assistant Superintendent) and to hire McClure Company to replace the middle school auditorium's main HVAC rooftop unit at a cost of $143,835.
Human Resources Director Richard Toth presented the ABCD Award Winners for the District.
Short for "Above and Beyond the Call of Duty," ABCD awards recognize and reward support staff professionals who consistently go above and beyond their formal, identified job duties to exceed the needs of students and staff. Honorees are nominated by their peers.
Award recipients include: Missie Heisey, custodian at Mill Road; Shannon Kreider, paraprofessional at East High Street Elementary; and Jody Bitner, licensed practical nurse at Elizabethtown Area Middle School.


← Is Hillary getting nervous?
I reflected as we were singing that God is concerned about purity of actions (our hands) and purity of motives (our hearts). It's been easy for me in the individualistic evangelicalism I have lived to make sure my heart is right (i.e. between me and God) but not always get the action part right. More specifically, I think I have worked really hard to deal with my sins that actively affect others (sins of co-mission), but have not done so well on those sins of omission. How unclean have my hands become because I avoided making a phone call to someone to encourage them? Because I didn't do something intentional to make my wife feel loved and special? Because I didn't buy some extra food to stock the food pantry at church? Because I didn't stand up for what was right when there was an injustice? These (and even bigger ones) are the kinds of questions I am wrestling with this Lenten season. What is God doing in your heart during this Lent?

Poland to Provide Piorun MANPADS for Norwegian Army
Rojoef ManuelDecember 1, 2022
Norway and Polish firm Mesko have signed a 350 million Norwegian kroner ($35.6 million) contract to deliver man-portable air defense systems (MANPADS) to the Norwegian Army.
The agreement is part of Norway's plans to integrate the latest, upgraded missiles into the armed forces. The Piorun MANPADS will cover the lowest elevation level with their fire-heat-seeking missiles.
The missile system specializes in aircraft, helicopter, and drone targets from ground level to an altitude of 4,000 meters (13,123 feet).
Signing of Mesko Piorun MANPADS contract. Photo: Norwegian Materiel Defence Agency
Norway has been negotiating with industry partners to acquire new MANPADS since 2021. The latest contract will deliver the air defense systems as early as 2023.
"This is the first time that Norway will operate this type of air defence system, and the Norwegian Armed Forces will therefore receive an important capability that they have previously not had in their inventory," Norwegian Defence Minister Bjørn Arild Gram said.
"We received very good offers from several suppliers but decided that Piorun offers the best combination in terms of time, performance and cost," Norwegian Defence Materiel Agency Air Systems Chief Brig. Gen. Jarle Nergård added.
Piorun MANPADS
The Piorun MANPAD is designed to defend against unmanned aerial vehicles, winged rockets, planes, and helicopters.
It is equipped with a proximity sensor-assisted fuse for precise detonation and features such as day sight, thermal vision sight, pursuit-collision mode, and target identification.
The Piorun is compatible with other thermal and optical imaging sights and related authorization systems.
The 19.5-kilogram (43-pound) missile has an average flight speed of 560 meters (1,837 feet) per second and a range of up to six kilometers (3.73 miles).
"Piorun will supplement the Army's new tactical air defences and the Air Force's NASAMS and F-35 combat aircraft," Norwegian Defence Materiel Agency director General Gro Jære explained.
"Along with other capabilities in the Norwegian Armed Forces, Piorun will serve as a deterrent to any future opponent who will now have to deal with a wide range of defensive systems. We therefore consider this an important addition to our overall capabilities."

Game Review: Leisure Suit Larry Magna Cum Laude: Uncut and Uncensored
This is the first video game review that I have written for BBspot. With my computer, the most graphic intensive game I can play is Nethack, so I couldn't review any of the current games. I had hoped to have my new computer by now, so I agreed to review Leisure Suit Larry: Magna Cum Laude: Uncut and Uncensored. Unfortunately, my new computer is still but a dream.
I know the specs to run this game are pathetic, but my system was still below the bottom end. I had to borrow a Radeon 7000 from a friend to get the thing going. Even then, I had to turn off every task other than the game to get acceptable game play. Now you know why I'm buying a new computer. Most of you I'm sure have a system like mine in your house, but it's your third or fourth back up system that you let your dog surf the Internet with.
The game is a continuation of the long dormant Leisure Suit Larry series. In this incarnation, Larry Laffer has been replaced by his nephew Larry Lovage, who attends Walnut Log College.
This is the uncut and uncensored version of the game, and it certainly deserves its A rating. I had to make sure the kids didn't venture down into the basement while I was playing. Dad wearing lipstick I can explain more easily than naked babes bouncing on trampolines on the computer screen. "It's for daddy's work sweetheart. You want to go to Disney World, don't you?"
To win the game, Larry has to conquer enough babes to get on the reality dating show Swingles. On the show, Larry will get a chance to bed one of three lovely contestants.
To conquer the babes Larry has to win various mini-games like quarter bounce, pong, whack-a-mole, tapper and others. If that doesn't sound too exciting, it isn't. The first time playing them can be fun, but often you have to play them multiple times to win the quest and that can get repetitive.
The best of these mini-games, but often the most difficult to win is the "chat game." You guide Larry's conversation by navigating a sperm through obstacles. Hit the right targets and Larry says the right thing, hit the wrong targets and he says something not so good. These often turn into rather hilarious conversations. Not to give too much away, but one of the conversations about Hayden Christensen was particularly funny. One of the conversations also included mention of Babylon 5 warships.
What most people playing the game want to know about are the babes. There are plenty of them of various shapes and sizes. I can only imagine what they could've done with more polygons.
Another problem I had with the game was much time was spent wandering through areas just to get to the next quest. This wouldn't be so bad, but each time you go to a new area there is a loading screen. This can cause a long delay just to walk through an area you've been through twenty times already. A teleporting system would've made the game much more enjoyable.
I don't think I unlocked all the secrets of the game, but I did conquer all the women and complete the side quests to win the Swingles date for my one-on-one action with Morgan.
Pros: Boobies, Funny dialogue
Cons: Repetitive game play, loading times
Full Disclosure: I was given the game to review, and was paid to run ads for the game.


The Reviews: "Paano ba ang mangarap?" rates high for its slickness and production gloss, something that its producers, Viva Films, shouldn't hope would last them more than two seasons.
Eddie Garcia is a good director. He stages his scenes well, with a minimum of fuss and a modicum of winning faith in narrative primacy. Viva's movies are well-structured, well-paced, and at their best show how the cosmopolitan Filipino behaves under romantic stress. But if you get past that level and dig into substance, you encounter that self-same compost pit wherein all the biodegradable scraps of melodrama you can find southeast of your favorite mother's kitchen have been thrown.
Such is the case, to a most lamentable extreme, with Paano Ba ang Mangarap? It's well-acted, well-done, tastefully correct in elementary mode. But it is strictly local comics fare, this well-wrought turn of circumstantial twist and escalating conflicts which all spell high drama. Viva makes films that are at best our answer to Hollywoodian slick, the stuff of which The Other Side of Midnight and Imitation of Life are prime generational examples. The Barbra Cartlands and Harold Robbinses turned celluloid; Mills and Boon on the big screen.
Here you have two fine actors, Christopher de Leon and Vilma Santos, waxing once again with their special chemistry. Boyet is so good he can, by merely varying his inflection, go through a simple line like "Tama na.." three times and prove positively sensitive and believable each time. Subtlety of feeling is shared equally well by Vilma Santos. They are both aware of the value of underplaying their emotional scenes, so much so that in any confrontation with other thespians who play their role to the hilt, these two, Boyet and Vilma, come out on top through the simple process of undercutting.
Vic Silayan and Perla Bautista are equally good in Paano Ba ang Mangarap?, but it is Moody Diaz who wins us over by applying a different tack in her "mayordoma" role, something that is usually played for laughs and other such effects by less gifted, or less imaginative, performers. Armida Siguion-Reyna is hampered by her termagant mother-in-law role, the catch-all character of cruelty spawned by all the soap opera dramas of Philippine comics and radio serials. And she plays this thoroughly unbelievable character, typecast as she already is, much to the hilt. That fantasy scene where she makes out like a satanic figure, though well-shot by Romy Vitug, is quite embarrassing for a picture like this, except of course we know that it is based on a comics serial where such fictive excesses may appear.
Here is where this otherwise finely-crafted film suffers. Viva knew it had to be faithful to the comics serial, so in effect opted for the surefire commercial draw at the expense of a truly artistic, credible film. I'm not saying that a character like Mrs. Monteverde does not, or cannot, exist. Perhaps one in a million. Filipino mothers can be as overbearing, prejudiced, unfeeling, and downright cruel. But to have a situation where an improbable character like her meets up with other improbable characters like the one Vilma and Christopher play, is stacking up the cards too much on the side of atrocious melodrama.
Vilma is the martyr type who would subject herself to indignities just so her coming child can have a name and possibly better upbringing. Boyet is the unloved son who would ditch his sophisticated girlfriend (Amy Austria, who is still uncomfortable in such role, so she doesn't fare too well here) for this martyr-type who's been impregnated by his brother. Now, any of these characters may exist, if by a long chance. But to have them all together living under the same roof is stretching the bounds of possibility much too much.

Seeing fossils in a new light
Gretchen Vogel*
Gretchen Vogel
In the bowels of Yale University's Peabody Museum of Natural History lies a wickedly sharp, sickle-shaped dinosaur claw, black as coal. It is part of the type specimen of Deinonychus—the basis for the Velociraptor in the Jurassic Park movies. The black color signals something just as striking. The fossil isn't just a mineral replica of the original claw. It is likely two-thirds dinosaur residue. That fossils can harbor organic matter isn't new. Whole fields of science have sprung up to decipher ancient DNA and intact proteins. But in fossils as old as the Deinonychus claw, most of the useful sequences of those molecules have long vanished. Now, researchers at Yale have devised a way to extract information locked in degraded proteins. They have shown how, when conditions are right after an animal dies, cellular proteins can transform into a mix of hardy polymers that repel water, are inedible for microbes, are impervious to heat, and last for eons. They are now starting to apply their nondestructive technique to help solve paleontological mysteries such as where turtles fit on the vertebrate family tree, and whether an extinct animal was warm-blooded.

The majority of our jobs today focus on the computer screen. We sit for more than eight hours a day glued to the screen or immersed in our daily work without getting a break at all which is not healthy for our sight. Here are some of the measures that you can take to ensure that you continue to have good sight throughout your life or at least for as long as you can.
Your day to day diet needs to be one that is enriching. It needs to have some crucial components in it such as vitamin A, vitamin C, lutein and beta carotene because they have the ability to repair your eye sight. They can be easily found in foods such as cod liver oil, butter, papaya, kale, spinach, blueberries, apricots, sweet potatoes and other greens. If you and your children do not favour munching on greens, at least include them in your daily smoothie and save yourself the trouble of having to go through laser surgery for eyes somewhere down the line. Our lifestyles are unhealthy at the very least anyway these days and the smallest thing that we can do for the betterment of our vision is to eat right.
Rest is very important to all of us and for all of our body. This is the only way that the body can repair and restore itself after a long and tiring day and the same goes for the muscles that enable vision. Sleeping the full eight hours daily is very important but more important is the fact that you need to take little breaks from work for at least five to ten minutes and look away from the screen to relax yourself and refresh your vision. Constantly looking at a bright screen or working with absolutely no rest is a great way to make sure that you will have to bear laser eye surgery cost somewhere down the line.
Having enough water or remaining hydrated throughout the day can help a lot as well. Drink the recommended amount of water on a daily basis and remember that when you feel tired and stressed, washing your face with some cold water and filling your mouth with water then washing it out can help to make you feel refreshed and energized as well. Even though we many overlook these three factors thinking that they will not have a bearing on our vision, they really do and it is important to make sure that you at least follow these steps to ensure that you continue to have good vision.

The purchase resulted from Bayer's decision to leave the region, providing Yale with ready-made facilities. Although the asset price was not revealed, the Hartford Courant speculated it was around $100 million.
The buyout comes at a time when the State of Florida has passed a new law that will provide financial aid to students in technical-training programs beginning July 1. Sponsored by Rep. Aaron Bean, the bill covers a wide range of workforce training programs.
Apart from including training programs in air conditioning and refrigeration, aircraft and automotive service, carpentry, electricity, and welding, the bill also benefits students pursuing healthcare careers—eligible areas include nursing, dental assisting, surgical technology, cosmetology, and massage therapy.
Students training to become public servants (such as firefighters or correctional officers) are also eligible for aid.
The Florida Student Assistance Grant for Career Education Program is open to students in workforce programs requiring at least 450 hours of training. Eligible students must be enrolled in programs at community colleges or career technical centers operated by Florida school districts.


The Quartiere Ticinese is one of Milan's liveliest districts and a favourite with young people, in particular students and young alternatives.
Ticinese is just a few minutes on foot from Piazza Duomo, to which it is linked by Via Torino, one of the city's main shopping streets.
Corso di Porta Ticinese is a lively young retail street that joins the medieval Porta Ticinese with Piazza XXIV Maggio and one of the main night spots in Milan. Just a stone's throw from the Columns of San Lorenzo and the Navigli canals, Corso di Porta Ticinese is filled with restaurants, pubs, aperitif locations and lots of on-trend clothing stores.
In summer, the area around the medieval Porta Ticinese and the Columns of San Lorenzo are a meeting place for young students in Milan and a venue for many events and happenings.
The Corso is also the centre of tourist and cultural itinerariesthrough the city, which take in the Basilica of Sant'Eustorgio, one of the city's oldest most valuable churches, its cloisters home to the Diocesan Museum, and the Basilica of San Lorenzo.
Corso di Porta Ticinese leads to the Navigli. While by day the Navigli are the haunt of painters, artists and tourists seeking out picturesque scenes of old Milan, at night they are one of the busiest places of the city nightlife, especially on summer weekends.
The mood of the Navigli is very special and it brings the Milan of yesteryear back to life, with its characteristic osterie, pubs, disco bars and live music venues.


When we started planning for Kayla and Phil's engagement session she brought up wanting to get them done INSIDE Comerica Park where the Detroit Tiger's play! We were pretty excited. We had shot outside of the park several times along with inside the Big House (Michigan Stadium) but never inside a Pro Sports Stadium! So when Kayla let me know it was a go it was a happy moment!!
I think we did a great job finding all the little and BIG spots to capture inside the stadium! From shooting in the aisle of the chairs to being allowed in the dugouts! Yes, YES I did pick up the dugout phones hahah I had too! Here is just a small sneak into this session I cant wait to share the rest of the session with you!!
We would love to capture your engagement session! All engagement sessions are included with Wedding collections! Email us at info@kayesphotography.com or CLICK HERE to check availability!
When planning your engagement portraits you might be deciding on whether you should bring your furry friend to your engagement shoot. When it's possible, I am a HUGE fan of having dogs in engagement sessions! Including your dog is a great way to personalize your shoot, and it can be a wonderful opportunity to have professional photos taken of you with your pet. It is also a great way to keep the fact that you are in front of the camera out of your mind since you will be able to cuddle with your pup!
First ALWAYS ask your photographer if it is ok if you bring along your pup! You never know if they have allergies or some reservation with dogs! Also your photographer will still need to know ahead of time so that they can prepare to make the most of the opportunity. I like to ask whether my clients would like to include a pet in their engagement photos on my Getting To Know You questionnaire right after they hire me, but if your photographer doesn't bring it up, make sure you DO!
2. Bring along someone that can hold the dog.
No matter how much you adore your dog, you probably want a significant portion of your engagement photos to focus just on you and your fiancé. So ask a friend or family member (who is already comfortable with your dog) to come along and take care of your pup during the dog-free portions of the shoot. I usually like to incorporate the dog in the first half of the session that way we can get warmed up there is a conversation starter and you aren't as focused on my camera!!
This sounds like common sense, but when you're thinking about whether your outfit goes with the one your fiancé is wearing and what the traffic will be like on the way to meet your photographer ... well, it can be easy to forget to bring pet-necessities. So plan ahead and have a little go-bag prepared to accompany your dog to the shoot. This can contain: a water dish and bottled water, treats, a toy, and waste bags -- anything your dog needs to feel safe and well cared for on the shoot!
Just because a location is outdoors doesn't necessarily mean it's a good fit for your pooch! For example, there is a few parks around here that do not allow pets so I would not want to plan for your session there if you were planning on bringing your pup. Or what is your dog just does not do well with a ton of people we wouldn't want to take him/her to a busy location!
One of the reasons your want your dog to be part of your engagement photos is because most of the time they are your baby at this point of your life. So let that connection shine!


I have been fortunate to be an active member of AAPGAI and full time fly fishing guide/instructor now for many years. I am frequently asked many questions about taking people out on the water, especially novices and how to avoid some of the potential pitfalls that can occur during a typical day (if there is such a thing).
As professional instructors we have a duty of care to uphold , not just to give your charge a great day out, but that they have a safe day, a positive experience and an enjoyable time.
At first glance, guiding people for a living on a river that is in good condition, set amongst beautiful surroundings along with great weather would seem an ideal, glamorous, sublime way of life, and often it is. Your client turns up on time, fully equipped, experienced and with a cheery demeanour, the fish are "on the fin" and he/she has a fantastic day out, just perfect! Unfortunately in reality, the above scenario is seldom the case. More often than not, human nature, fish behaviour or adverse weather, can cause the exact opposite to happen or anything in between that and the perfect scenario.
As professional game angling instructors, a title that will often cover several categories such as guiding, teaching, fly fishing enthusiast, demonstrator, wild life expert, social worker, weather controller, confidant, entertainer, friend, psychologist and even on occasions marriage guidance councillor, we sometimes have to be equipped and well prepared for just about anything and everything! I have many times over the years wished that I had started out in this wonderful business when I was much younger, as I have made many true friends though the sport and have had a great deal of fun during my time on the water.
Hindsight they say is 20/20. But on hindsight though, it would have, in my case been probably the wrong thing to do. Being young, I would not have had the maturity or much experience of life, I would not have had the long apprenticeship needed to have the confidence of dealing with the days that sometimes inevitably head in the wrong direction. Besides that, there was a young family to raise, bills to pay and a mortgage to contend with, the things that guiding just could not subsidise at that particular time.
So, here I am now, many years on with a little more experience, grey hair and hopefully a little wiser. Guiding and instruction, the two titles are more often than not inextricably linked, it is a vast subject. I have broken this article down into several weekly parts and hope there is something in the content that you might find of use.

Tab Benoit at Tower Theatre in Oklahoma City on July 18th!
Benoit dug further into his roots in 2006 with the release of Brother to the Blues, a recording that encompasses not only his trademark Cajun blues but also traditional country and vintage R&B.
Joining him on the project are members of the cult blues/R&B/rock combo Louisiaina LeRoux, veteran country songwriter Billy Joe Shaver, Americana pioneer Jim Lauderdale and Cajun fiddler Waylon Thibodeaux. Brother to the Blues received a GRAMMY® nomination for Best Traditional Blues Album. Benoit's Power of the Pontchartrain, released in June 2007, is in many ways a musical tribute to the natural beauty of his homeland and the dedication and perseverance of those who still live there.
An environmental activist as well as a stellar blues musician, Benoit has made the preservation of the endangered delta wetlands his personal crusade. He serves as president of Voice of the Wetlands, an environmental organization he co-founded in 2003, and he appeared prominently in Hurricane on the Bayou, a 2006 documentary by filmmaker McGillivray Freeman that chronicles life in Louisiana after Katrina. Hurricane on the Bayou played in iMax theaters in the U.S., Canada and Europe throughout 2007. In 2007, Benoit won the dual awards of B.B. King Entertainer of the Year and Best Contemporary Male Performer at the Blues Music Awards (formerly the W.C. Handy Awards) in Memphis.
Medicine, Benoit's latest release on Telarc, successfully joins two gifted guitarists/songwriters in a session that proves greater than the sum of its very talented parts. Set for April 2011, the 11- track recording features seven new Benoit originals co-written with ace songwriter Anders Osborne. Engineered by David Z, Medicine spotlights the work of keyboardist Ivan Neville, drummer Brady Blade and bassist Corey Duplechin. Fiddler/singer Michael Doucet of BeauSoleil makes a special appearance on three tracks.

how to wire up a festo sensor to the Neuron?
2 = Analog out, 0V to 10V. I've wired this to the Analog in of the Neuron and it seems to be working.
4 = switching on/off at preset pressures. I want to connect this to a digital input on the Neuron.
My question: The analog ground on the Neuron bells out to the power supply 0V, so the analog connection is working. The digital input ground does not bell to the 0v power supply, so the digital signal is not registering. Can I connect the digital ground input to the analog ground input? If not, how should I wire this up?
btw, Evok is running on this for me on the S10x, and allowing me to use my own python program with get and posts to read and set input/outputs on the Neuron. Thanks for the pre-release!
