Git is a distributed version control system which allows you to track all the changes to your project. It can be used for all sorts of projects: software development, Transcendence Mods, or even a book. With version control you have a record of all the changes you've made to your project (for example see the Transcendence commit log) and can easily undo changes if you've made a mistake.
GitHub is the most popular git repository hosting service with an easy to use web-based interface and several collaboration features (issue tracker, wiki, web hosting, etc.) you can even edit files directly in the web interface.
For a complete introduction to git you can read the Git book which even includes a chapter on GitHub. Other useful links are the Git reference guide and GitHub Help pages.
Command line or GUI
There are many different git clients available and several IDEs have built-in git integration.
The official Git for Windows includes both a command line client (using the BASH shell so you also get grep, sed, aux, diff, and lots of other useful tools) and a GUI.
Microsoft Visual Studio has built in git integration
GitHub Desktop is a GUI client for macOS and Windows which includes basic git functions and some GitHub specific functionality like creating Pull Requests directly in the GUI.
- NOTE The default download is now "Desktop Beta" the link for the old GitHub Desktop is at the bottom of the page.
- Includes a version of the official client (v2.11) with Power Shell integration.
- Some GitHub functions (e.g. create pull requests) are done via web-browser rather than in client.
- Does not include copy of official client, but will download the latest version when needed.
- Desktop Beta appears to only support git CMD (i.e. cmd.exe shell, no BASH or PowerShell)
This guide will assume you're using the official command line client. All the basic operations should be possible in a GUI client or one integrated into a text editor / IDE.
Getting started
1) Fork your own copy of the Transcendence repository
Go to https://github.com/kronosaur/Transcendence
Click the Fork button (you will need a github account)
2) Install git
Download and install git from https://git-scm.com/
Open Git bash, set your git username and email (use the same as your github account)
Code: Select all
$ git config --global user.name "Mona Lisa"
$ git config --global user.email "[email protected]"
$ git config --global core.editor notepad
3) Clone the repository to your local computer
Create a directory for your Transcendence development work, then right-click on it and select "Git bash here"
Enter the following commands in the shell (replace <username> with your username):
Code: Select all
$ git clone https://github.com/<username>/Transcendence.git
$ cd Transcendence
$ git remote add upstream https://github.com/kronosaur/Transcendence
4) Exploring the Transcendence code
If you want to work with the C++ code then you'll also need to fork and clone Alchemy and Mammoth the core engine and libraries used by the Transcendence game. However, if you just want to work with the XML code you only need the Transcendence repository.
Note - if you want to compile the latest version of Transcendence, but do not plan to submit any code changes you can clone directly from the kronosaur repositories:
Code: Select all
$ git clone https://github.com/kronosaur/Alchemy
$ git clone https://github.com/kronosaur/Mammoth
You will find the XML in the TransCore directory. This is compiled into the Transcendence.tdb file when the game is released; however, you can also run the game directly with the xml files. Just put a copy of Transcendence.exe into the Game directory and it will read the resources from ../TransCore instead.
Git Basics
You should now have access to three copies of the Transcendence repository
- The one on your computer (local)
- Your fork on github (origin)
- The official kronosaur repository on github (upstream)
The basic workflow for contributing a change to the Transcendence code is:
- fetch or pull from upstream to local (to get George's latest work)
- Make your changes and commit them to local
- push from local to origin (put your changes on GitHub)
- create a pull request on GitHub
- George can then pull your changes from your repository and merge them into kronosaur/Transcendence

A stunning hardback edition of the classic novel.
Animal Farm is one of the most famous warnings ever written. Orwell's immortal satire — 'against Stalin' as he wrote to his French translator — can be read on many levels. With its piercing clarity and deceptively simple style it is no surprise that this novel is required reading for schoolchildren and politicians alike. This fable of the steadfast horses Boxer and Clover, the opportunistic pigs Snowball and Napoleon, and the deafening choir of sheep remains an unparalleled masterpiece.
One reviewer wrote "In a hundred years' time perhaps Animal Farm... may simply be a fairy story: today it is a fairy story with a good deal of point." Over sixty years on in the age of spin, it is more relevant than ever.
Rejected by such eminent publishing figures as Victor Gollancz, Jonathan Cape and T.S. Eliot, Animal Farm was published to great acclaim by Martin Secker and Warburg on August 17, 1945 in an edition of 4500 copies. In the centenary year of Martin Secker, Ltd., Harvill Secker is proud to publish this special edition with a new introduction.
"synopsis" may belong to another edition of this title.
Since its publication in 1946, George Orwell's fable of a workers' revolution gone wrong has rivaled Hemingway's The Old Man and the Sea as the Shortest Serious Novel It's OK to Write a Book Report About. (The latter is three pages longer and less fun to read.) Fueled by Orwell's intense disillusionment with Soviet Communism, Animal Farm is a nearly perfect piece of writing, both an engaging story and an allegory that actually works. When the downtrodden beasts of Manor Farm oust their drunken human master and take over management of the land, all are awash in collectivist zeal. Everyone willingly works overtime, productivity soars, and for one brief, glorious season, every belly is full. The animals' Seven Commandment credo is painted in big white letters on the barn. All animals are equal. No animal shall drink alcohol, wear clothes, sleep in a bed, or kill a fellow four-footed creature. Those that go upon four legs or wings are friends and the two-legged are, by definition, the enemy. Too soon, however, the pigs, who have styled themselves leaders by virtue of their intelligence, succumb to the temptations of privilege and power. "We pigs are brainworkers. The whole management and organisation of the farm depend on us. Day and night, we are watching over your welfare. It is for your sake that we drink that milk and eat those apples." While this swinish brotherhood sells out the revolution, cynically editing the Seven Commandments to excuse their violence and greed, the common animals are once again left hungry and exhausted, no better off than in the days when humans ran the farm. Satire Animal Farm may be, but it's a stony reader who remains unmoved when the stalwart workhorse, Boxer, having given his all to his comrades, is sold to the glue factory to buy booze for the pigs. Orwell's view of Communism is bleak indeed, but given the history of the Russian people since 1917, his pessimism has an air of prophecy. --Joyce ThompsonFrom the Back Cover:
A farm is taken over by its overworked, mistreated animals. With flaming idealism and stirring slogans, they embark on the creation of a paradise of progress, justice, and equality. Thus the stage is set for one of the most telling satiric fables ever penned -- a razor-edged fairy tale for grown-ups that records the evolution from revolution against tyranny to a totalitarianism just as terrible. When Animal Farm was first published fifty years ago, Stalinist Russia was seen as its target. Today it is devastatingly clear that wherever and whenever freedom is attacked, under whatever banner; the cutting clarity and savage comedy of George Orwell's masterpiece have a meaning and message still ferociously fresh.

AT&T to do home security in Dallas, Atlanta
DALLAS—AT&T has announced plans to bring its home security/home automation offering to Atlanta and Dallas this summer.
Called Digital Life, the offering will be professionally installed and professionally monitored from AT&T owned and operated 24/7 monitoring stations, the company said in a May 7 news release.
Calls and emails requesting interviews and comments from AT&T were not returned by May 9.
Connected devices offered will include cameras, window, door, smoke and carbon monoxide sensors, thermostats and appliance power controls.
Security Systems News reported in December 2011 that AT&T planned to come to Atlanta, where its new Digital Life Services division will be based.
Details on the products AT&T will be using are few, but in April 2011, SSN reported that AT&T was terminating its Xanboo dealer agreement.
According to the recent news release on Digital Life:
--The devices will be wirelessly enabled to connect to the IP-based AT&T Digital Life platform inside the home. The system will "contain a user interface application, which allows customers to customize a solution based on individual needs, and the ability to manage and control their services from the U.S. or while traveling abroad."
--The service will be sold through "AT&T distribution channels, including AT&T company-owned retail stores." It will also be available for online purchase after the trial period.
--The system includes "built-in AT&T mobile Internet service and will also be capable of Wi-Fi, Z-Wave, and wired broadband connections."
--During the trial period, subscribers can "use their own wired broadband solution with the Digital Life system and can access the service and remotely control the products from smartphones, tablets and PCs, regardless of carrier."
Providing the SECURITY your SECURITY COMPANY needs when hiring!
I think it's great that AT&T is joining Comcast and other telecom companies to promote Home Security Services. BUT.. Let there be a WARNING to the consumer. Most of these Fortune 5 companies contract this work out! The Sales Reps and the Installers are not AT&T or Comcast employees, they're contractors.
Who's making sure that these contractors are clear to enter someone's home?? Who's following up to insure that they're background checked thoroughly?
Protection Plus Solutions, a premier background screening company tailored around the home services industry can do just that, insure that sales reps and technicians are thoroughly background checked. Not only do they provide a thorough background check they also monitor your sales reps and technicians every month with their signature background screening product called CrimSPY. CrimSPY ID badging system will notify your company if there is a criminal hit after hire, not a year later.
Their ID badging system is both virtual and hard copy, so customers can verify first hand who's at their door or who's just entered their house. If criminal activity does occur after hire the virtual ID badge will show FAILED alerting them that the rep or technician is not authorized to enter their home or office.
BadgeLINK, another Protection Plus Solutions product allows their virtual ID badging system to be placed on your company's website for FREE if you're using their background screening products.
You should contact them today for an online tutorial; your customers will LOVE you for it!

The Michigan budget surplus was highly touted by GOP presidential hopeful and Flip-flopper in Chief Mitt Romney. Mitt not only likes the size of the trees in Michigan...he loves the down-sized education budget pushed through by Governor Rick Snyder. We can expect the same under Romney...cut education funding at a time when we need to invest more heavily in public education.

U.S. v. Jones, 565 U.S. ___ (2012)
Decision looks to 18th century sensibilities on the sanctity of personal property to resolve modern day legal problem occasioned by technology.
Today the Supreme Court issued its opinion in U.S. v. Jones, which addresses the question of whether it was a "search or seizure" under the Fourth Amendment when the police attached a GPS tracking device to a drug suspect's car. The information gathered from the device was used to convict defendant and send him to prison for life.
An originalist kind of opinion
Justice Scalia authored an opinion (which four other justices, including Roberts and Thomas, joined) holding that the placement of the GPS device on defendant's car was a "physical intrusion [which] would have been considered a 'search' within the meaning of the Fourth Amendment when it was adopted." Because the device was placed on the car outside the scope of the warrant authorizing it (after the warrant's expiration and outside its geographic jurisdiction), defendant's Fourth Amendment rights were violated.
Property is key
Key to Court's opinion was the Fourth Amendment's close connection to property. Historically, Fourth Amendment jurisprudence has been tied to the concept of common-law trespass. Later cases, such as Katz v. United States, 389 U.S. 347 (1967) deviated from that approach, looking more to a personal interest, namely one's "reasonable expectation of privacy."
Reasonable expectation of privacy does not matter here
The Government had argued that there was no search here because defendant had no reasonable expectation of privacy in the underbody of his car, nor in the information about the public places he went. The court rejected that argument. Instead, it observed that "[a]t bottom, we must 'assur[e] preservation of that degree of privacy against government that existed when the Fourth Amendment was adopted."
This "at bottom" analysis meant looking to the property interest defendant had (as informed by principles of common law trespass). By attaching the device to defendant's car, the officers encroached on a protected area.
Open questions about information tracking
The case involved more than the mere transmission of electronic signals. In dicta, the court noted that in cases that do not involve physical intrusion, the Katz "reasonable expectation of privacy" analysis would apply. And the court was able to skirt the thorny question of whether the pervasive gathering of information while assisted by technology (something that it would take an army of agents and vehicles to accomplish) would be unconstitutional:
It may be that achieving the same result through electronic means, without an accompanying trespass, is an unconstitutional invasion of privacy, but the present case does not require us to answer that question.
Many commentators have observed that the case bears similarities to United States v. Knotts, 460 U. S. 276 (1982) which involved a location-transmitting "beeper" that was placed in a canister of chloroform, which made its way into the defendant's trunk. In Knotts, the Court held that the gathering of location information in such a fashion did not violate the Fourth Amendment. The Jones case is different — in Knotts, the cops were not reponsible for placing the canister into the vehicle. Here, the cops actually had to encroach on defendant's property (and even changed the batteries on the device at a later date).
The Court's decision comes as a relief to those who worried about the Orwellian-like consequences of a Government victory. It appears that all of us — including the Justices of the Supreme Court themselves — are free from indiscriminate government surveilance of this sort. It will be interesting to go back and watch This Week in Law Episode 137, where we discussed this case and its issues.
What do you think? Was the court correct in looking at 18th century doctrines to solve a 21st century problem? Let's have a conversation below.

History: The school was created by the Mississippi State Legislature on February 28, 1878 as The Agricultural and Mechanical College of the State of Mississippi (or Mississippi A&M). As you would expect with a name like that, it was one of the national land-grant colleges established after Congress passed the Morrill Act in 1862.
This new university received its first students in the fall of 1880 under the leadership (and presidency) of former Confederate General Stephen D. Lee. Lee is famous for being the youngest Confederate Lieutenant General in the American Civil War. Lee was the officer that first delivered the "surrender and evacuate" ultimatum message at Fort Sumter to start the war. After the wars started he fought and led troops in many major battles including the Peninsula Campaign, Second Bull Run, and Antietam where his cannons played a prominent role in defending the ground near the famed Dunker Church. He was also taken as a prisoner of war after the fall of Vicksburg, was returned to the Confederate Army during a exchange and eventually wounded in the Battle of Nashville. He fought until the bitter end of the war, finally surrendering with Joseph E. Johnston's troops in April 1965.
Other important dates: In 1932, the Legislature renamed the university as Mississippi State College. In 1958 it was again renamed the university as Mississippi State University after Graduate programs had been established. In July 1965, Richard E. Holmes became the first African-American student to enroll at the school.
Location: Mississippi State is located in Starkville. It is the state of Mississippi's largest university and is also the largest employer of Starkville and dominates the city's economy. Artifacts in the form of clay pot fragments and artwork tell us that the Starkville area has been inhabited for over 2100 years. The modern European settlement of the Starkville area was started after the Choctaw inhabitants of Oktibbeha County surrendered their claims to land in the area in the Treaty of Dancing Rabbit Creek in 1830. A mill southwest of town provided clapboards which gave the town its original name, Boardtown. In 1835, Boardtown's name was changed to Starkville in honor of Revolutionary War hero General John Stark.
The town is the birthplace of National Baseball Hall of Famer Cool Papa Bell. In 1965 Johnny Cash was arrested for public drunkenness, though he described it as being picked up for picking flowers, spawning a song and the Johnny Cash Flower Pickin' Festival which is held each year. In 2006, Starkville became the first city in Mississippi to adopt a smoking ban for indoor public places, including restaurants and bars.
Academics: The university offers 78 bachelor's degree programs, 59 master's degree programs, and 35 doctoral degree programs. listed among the "100 Best Values in Public Colleges" in Kiplinger's Personal Finance Magazine. The list recognizes institutions that are "noteworthy for their combination of top flight academics and affordable costs." Now listed at 88th, it is the only Mississippi institution included in the national publication's annual survey. Forbes magazine has ranked Mississippi State University among the top 20 of its top 100 best college buys in America.
Ask any SEC fan which school has the worst academic reputation in the conference, and more than likely you will get told: Mississippi State. According to the US News & World Report National University Rankings. the school is ranked 151st. This is good enough to make MSU the 2nd ranked school in the state of Mississippi, behind Ole Miss (ranked 143rd nationally).
Alumni: Famous Mississippi State people include WorldCom whistle blower and 2002 Time co-person of the year, Cynthia Cooper. Former DOW Chemical president Hunter W. Henry Jr. and Fred Carl, Jr., Founder and CEO of Viking Range. Mississippi State also educated former US Senator and reformed racist John C. Stennis. Notorious American gangster Machine Gun Kelly lived in Starkville and enrolled in the university to study agriculture in 1917.
Famous ex-MSU athletes include former baseball stars Will Clark and Rafael Palmeiro, Boston Red Sox closer Jonathan Papelbon and Baltimore Orioles manager Buck Showalter. Former football stars D.D. Lewis and Fred Smoot and former basketball player Eric Dampier.
No former US Presidents or Astronauts.
Nickname, Mascot, Colors, Helmets, and Fight Song: They call themselves the Bulldogs, but MSU teams have answered to a couple of different nicknames through the years. The first squads were called Aggies. When the school officially became Mississippi State College in 1932 the nickname changed to Maroons. It wasn't until 1961 that Bulldogs became the official title for teams. Yet references to bulldogs actually go back to early in the century, and this nickname was used almost interchangeably with both Aggies and Maroons, since at least 1905.
As is the case with several SEC teams, there is some confusion with mascots (Ole Miss Rebels/Black Bears & Auburn Tigers/War Eagles comes to mind). Nonetheless, a live bulldog was first used official game mascot in 1935 when coach Major Ralph Sasse sent his team to Memphis to select a bulldog puppy. They named him Ptolemy and the
A litter-mate of Ptolemy became the first mascot named 'Bully I' shortly after Sasse's team beat mighty Army 13-7 at West Point. This is considered the greatest victory in MSU football history. But "Bully I" earned other fame the hard way, in 1939 he was killed by a campus bus. Days of campus mourning followed, as Bully lay in state in a glass coffin. A half-mile funeral procession accompanied by the the Famous Maroon Band and three ROTC battalions went to Scott Field where Bully was buried under the bench at the 50-yard line. Even LIFE Magazine covered to the event. Other Bullys have since been buried by campus dorms, fraternity houses, and also at the football stadium.
On November 15, 1895, the first Mississippi A&M football team was preparing for a road trip to play Southern Baptist University. Since every college was supposed to have its own uniform colors, the student body requested that the school's team select a suitable combination. Considering making this choice an honor, the inaugural football team gave the privilege to team captain W.M. Matthews. History records that without hesitation Matthews chose Maroon and White.
Only once has a MSU team appeared in any other color combination. In 1938 football coach Spike Nelson secretly had cardinal and gold uniforms made, a selection that did not sit well with the team or the college at the first game. Neither the uniforms nor Nelson were back for the next season.
They currently wear maroon helmets with maroon face masks adorned with a simple block M/State ribbon combo. During the years 2004-2008 they wore white helmets with a similar logo. They have also used an interlocking MSU helmet logo in the recent past. In general, the MSU helmets are about as generic as you will find in the SEC and all of college football.
The words and music for the Mississippi State Fight Song called "Hail State" were written by Joseph Burleson Peavey in 1939.
Hail dear 'ole State!
Fight for that victory today.
Hit that line and tote that ball,
Cross the goal before you fall!
And then we'll yell, yell, yell, yell!
For dear 'ole State we'll yell like H-E-L-L!
Fight for Mis-sis-sip-pi State,
Win that game today!
What is the deal with these Cow Bells? Cow bells are a significant part of any Mississippi State University experience. The tradition began after a jersey cow wandered on to the football field in the early 1900s, disrupting a game. Subsequently, they won the football game, and the cow became a symbol of good luck. Eventually, the cow was replaced with just the cow's bell. Handles were welded onto the bells to ease ringing, and cowbells are now manufactured and sold specifically as athletic noisemakers.
Cowbells seem to be as important to MSU fans as winged helmets are to us. They decorate offices and homes of alumni and they are passed down through generations of Bulldog fans. These bells are not heard at Southeastern Conference games (not legally, at least). In 1974, the SEC vote 9-1 to ban them issuing a conference rule against 'artificial noisemakers' at football and basketball games. Don't worry -- Michigan will hear them loud and proud during the Gator Bowl.
Football: Mississippi State is a charter member of the Southeastern Conference. They have been playing football at Mississippi State since 1895 and the SEC has been around since 1932. In that time, the Bulldogs have won exactly one SEC conference title (1941). They also won the 1998 SEC West division -- but lost to Tennessee in the SEC title game.
Their primary rival is the University of Mississippi. They play annually in a trophy game called the Egg Bowl. Ole Miss leads the series 41-60-6. The Bulldogs also have a heated, yet lopsided rivalry with Alabama and their game is sometimes referred to as the "90 Mile Drive" or the "Battle for Highway 82". Alabama leads that series by an astounding 17-73-3 record.
Mississippi State has an all-time bowl record of 8-6, highlighted by wins in the 1941 Orange Bowl, the 1963 Liberty Bowl, and the 1999 Peach Bowl. Most recently, the Bulldogs defeated the Conference USA champion UCF Kinghts 10-3 in the 2007 Liberty Bowl. Saturday will be the first bowl appearance in for Head coach Dan Mullen, who in direct contrast to the Michigan coaching situation just signed an expensive extension.
Nick Bell: On Tuesday, November 2, 2010 Mississippi State defensive end Nick Bell died after a short battle with cancer. He was 20 years old. Bell, from Bessemer, Ala., was diagnosed in late September after experiencing headaches during football practice and had surgery in October to remove a mass from his brain. He had another emergency surgery a few weeks later after it was found that the cancer had aggressively spread throughout his body. Bell played in four games this season, starting two, including his final game against Georgia on Sept. 25. He made seven total tackles, including two for a loss. He played in all 12 games as a redshirt freshman in 2009, making 16 tackles.
Other Sports: Not many people think of this, but the Bulldogs are much more of a basketball school. They have had a lot more success on the hardwood, including nine SEC championships, ten NCAA tournament appearances, and a Final Four in 1996. They also have a pretty strong baseball program, making eight College World Series appearances, the last being in 2007.
I could not find any record of NCAA titles in any sport, but in 2009 the disc golf club won the National Championship at the Collegiate Disc Golf Championship in Augusta, Ga.
The Game: This will be Michigan's third appearance at the Gator Bowl. Bo brought his Wolverines against Lawrence Taylor's North Carolina Tarheels and lost 17-15 at the 1979 Gator Bowl. In 1991, Desmond Howard had his coming out party as Michigan curb stomped Ole Miss 35-3.
I expect this game to be very much like many of our games this year. High scoring, entertaining, and ultimately resting on Denard Robinson's capable shoulders and our defensive ability (or inability) to make stops. I would not be surprised if Michigan comes out like we did against UConn: crisp, confident, and dominate the game. But then again we could come out and play like we did against the other "State" schools we played this year (Michigan State, Penn State, and Ohio State) causing me to start my annual New Years Day channel surfing early and dreaming about a new era.
End of the day prediction?
Michigan: Jim Harbaugh
Miss State: Dan Mullen

Libyan government loyalists on Tuesday repelled the westward advance of rebels, sapping their momentum and adding urgency to London talks on how to resolve the Libyan conflict.
Bolstered by Western airstrikes, the rebels had been moving rapidly toward Muammar Qaddafi's hometown of Sirte after retaking the key eastern city of Ajdabiya over the weekend, recapturing the oil towns of Brega and Ras Lanuf along the way.
But that advance stopped on Monday some 20 miles east of Sirte, where rebel forces – which have proven themselves to be disorganized and sometimes dangerously bold – ran into the defenses of the strategically important city. In a panicked retreat under fire on Tuesday, the rebels reportedly moved back to the hamlet of Bin Jawwad, just west of Ras Lanuf.
"There aren't a lot of us in Bin Jawwad right now," rebel Faisal Ali told the Associated Press. "If [Qaddafi] has enough firepower and forces using tanks, he will surely take over Bin Jawwad."
Qaddafi decries 'barbaric, unjust offensive'
Pressure mounted for Col. Qaddafi to step down as UN chief Ban Ki-Moon, top US diplomat Hillary Clinton, and the Arab League and dozens of other foreign ministers joined the talks in London.
They were expected to spell out plans for a cease-fire, safe path to exile for Qaddafi – perhaps in an African country – and a proposal to discuss the future of Libya with the opposition and tribal heads.
RELATED: Libya timeline (updated daily)
But Qaddafi has shown no sign of being willing to step down or step away, after nearly 42 years at the helm in Libya.
"Stop your barbaric, unjust offensive on Libya," Qaddafi wrote in an open letter published on the state-run news agency Jana.
"Leave Libya for the Libyans. You are committing genocide against a peaceful people and a developing nation," Qaddafi wrote. "It seems that you in Europe and America don't realize the hellish, barbaric [military] offensive which compares … to Hitler's campaigns."
Speaking late Monday, Libyan Deputy Foreign Minister Khaled Kaim added official anger to the diplomatic moves. "We call upon Obama and the Western leaders to be peacemakers and not warmongers, and not to push the Libyans towards a civil war and more death and destruction," he said.
Obama lays out his vision
President Barack Obama said on Monday night that the US and its allies had "stopped Qaddafi's deadly advance."
But while Mr. Obama said the US was not pursuing "military" regime change – that was the task of the Libyan people, he said, and their weeks-old rebellion – the president noted the US would "continue to pursue the broader goal of a Libya that belongs not to a dictator, but to its people."
Translating that vision into an anti-Qaddafi reality on the ground in Libya resulted in a surge of excited anticipation over the weekend, when rebel forces backed by allied airstrikes finally broke a stalemate at Ajdabiya.
Pro-Qaddafi forces retreated – claiming they did so in a "tactical pullback" to protect the civilians of Ajdabiya from rebel bombardment – which opened the way for the rebel sweep to push further west than they ever have.
Rebel government issues 8-point plan
Today, even as the rebels found themselves stalled at the front, the self-declared rebel government based in the eastern city of Benghazi – the Interim National Council, which has been recognized only by France and Qatar – issued an 8-point plan that it called a "vision of a democratic Libya."
Listed there is a new constitution with a balance of power, free parties and elections, and freedom of expression. Recovered will be "social freedoms that were denied…during the rule of dictatorship." The rebels also call for a state that "draws strength from our strong religious beliefs in peace, truth, justice and equality."

Can anyone out there tell me how to distinguish a cb250 k1 and a cb 250 rs I am trying to get some down pipes and the flange is a strait ring with two Collet type pieces with a finned ring and two bolts in each pipe. I do know it is not the original engine and on some web part sites the rs pipes have that type of flange.

isreali attack into palestine has nothing to do with how sri lanka has conducted this war. isreal has murdered more than 600 civilians in a matter of days. if anything, this attack will increase support for hamas and breed more hate towards isreal among the palestinians. sri lanka is solving the problem. isreal has just compounded their problem.ReplyDelete

STF said...
Where are those LTTE monkies PEE-EATER, mAhan, Sharp (as blunt),
gay jet, ponna puli.
Right here sorry mthrfker. So SLA has been given Killinochi by the Tigers. Big Deal.
So this just means the Tigers are going to capture it AGAIN when time suits it. - This is not far away nor is it far away in memory...hehe.
How many Tiger bodies were found? How many Tigers were captured alive?
The only thing is the firepower and help of more than 7 countries helping a mentally handicapped Sinhala army who was earlier castrated by Tamil Tigers.
Also, there is no point jumping in homo-sexual excsatacy since it is not you sinhalese scum that were able to enter K-nochi by yourselves.
Here is the current scenario:
SLA SCUM (200,000 + hermaphodites) is the PUPPET.
Fighting a rebel a force of 2000-5000 as said by Funsekar?
SLA has the hands of China, Pakis, India, America, Russia and a few others shoved UP THEIR A$$HOLES directing them to go where its safe, attack here and how, providing weapons and vehicles, satellite imagery, tactics and other forms of help.
Despite all this, it took you more than 2 Years to fight and terrorise and finally be given Killinochi? Is that what defines a Sinhala MAN? Guess it does...

-haha. Have you no shame? You and your Sinhala Army are pretty much slurping up the filth pouring in from 6 countires, their technology and brains to fight a 5000 member freedom movement? which has lasted for 30 years?
Sure you re-wrote the books on
1. "PUPPET" history.
2. "Cripple Help"
3. "How far crying and self-prositiution can go in helping you fight someone smaller than you"
5. "How to party after fighitng with Machine Guns and accomplices against a people with a pistol"
You sorry little dropping from the anus of a donkey.
There is absolutley nothing to celebrate for Sinhala scum. It is actually something you should be ashamed about.ReplyDelete
You entering Killinochi with all the help is like someone else writing the final exam for YOU in order for you to graduate.
Shameless, losers. Grow some testicles. If you had any, you would realise how sad you being handed Killinochi is.
Sharp: I feel sorry for your miserable existence. Seems like you are pretty bummed out about the possibility that the days of the LTTE brainwashing children for use as suicide bombers is coming to an end.ReplyDelete
The biggest curse for the Tamils in Sri Lanka has been the LTTE. For all the death, destruction, and violence caused by the LTTE to Tamils all over the world, what do they have to show for it? I'm an American following what is going on in Sri Lanka and it is nice to see that Sri Lanka is finally freed from the scourge of LTTE terrorism.
I'm glad Sri Lanka is getting help internationally to eliminate the LTTE. By the time the LTTE is eliminated, Sri Lanka will become a text-book case on how to fight and eliminate a rutheless terrorist insurgency.

New Delhi: A day after the Sri Lankan army captured the LTTE's headquarters in Kilinochi the army now claims to have taken the Elephant Pass north of Kilinochi.ReplyDelete
The Elephant Pass is known as the Gateway to Jaffna. It is a thin strip of land with sea on either side.
The pass was taken by the LTTE in April 2000 after a fierce and bloody battle with the Sri Lankan army. When CNN-IBN travelled to the Elephant Pass in 2006, reporters had seen the remains of a battle like the one raging now.
A burnt Sri Lankan tank stood at the pass - it had been left untouched by the LTTE as a symbol of the tremendous victory, a rallying point for the Tigers to motivate it's cadres.
Eight years later the historic Elephant Pass has now been secured by the government forces. The army is clearing up the area a day after it took the LTTE headquarters in Kilinochi. This means that the arterial A-9 highway, which connects Colombo in the south to Jaffna in the north, is now completely under army control for the first time in a decade.
And the LTTE is now fleeing into their strongest bastion - Mullathivu and the adjoining jungles in the north.
The LTTE's only support seems to be from politicians in Tamil Nadu who have long used the Sri Lankan conflict for political gains in India.
MDMK General Secretary, Vaiko says, 'This victory is only a temporary victory for the Sri Lankan army. They can't have a permanent victory. The Tamil Tigers will bounce back just like the waves in a sea do. At least in this time of need, the Tamils world over should remain together. I just want to assure the Eelam Tamils that even in this time of war and crisis, we won't give up on them. The Indian Government must at least now realise that it has betrayed them. '
In the island though, the Sri Lankan army hopes to eliminate the LTTE and then answer the Tamil question. Sri Lanka is aware that a military victory cannot end an intense and decades-old ethnic conflict.
Lankan military helicopters are now bombing LTTE positions. LTTE chief Prabhakaran is said to be hiding in the thick forests near the port town.
Meanwhile in Colombo, a bomb went off in Pettah Market. The blast allegedly executed by the LTTE, left at least three civilians injured. This is the second blast in Colombo after the fall of Kilinochchi on Friday.
Sorry for the cut and paste job.ReplyDelete

"DN even gives it's link!"
We had promised from the very beginning that even pro LTTE blogs will be linked by DefenceNet (specially on times when this blog was spammed by a lot of LTTE supporters).
It good to see at least one pro LTTE blog went online. Now readers have more choice and no once is forced to read unwanted or extremist comments. Thus we kept our promise and linked to it.
I hope for the sake of the island and it's peace living people that our defence forces are correct that they heard VP giving orders from a spot in the un cleared areas, perhaps this a deception as these messages can be sent remotely by a state of the art process of onward linking. Per haps his close associates are operating from the south and VP may be gone abroad. Just rushing to his bunker will have to be with caution as it may be booby trapped.ReplyDelete
It's time the gosl hired some foreign based intelligence officers with the best of surveillance communication tracing and location equipment. Israel is a good place to start with as they have the best. One has to expect these guys to spread their terror to our assets outside Vanni and even abroad. I am glad our patriots attended well the memorial service held at the Kingsbury temple last evening in spite of the puss bomb let off at the temple earlier.
At the temple the prelate too remembered the loss of the young lives of the Tamils that were victims of the terrorist forced recruitments thus praying for the unity of all communities in the island..

Anchor Belly Button Rings Barbell 14 Gauge Dangle Anchor
What's in a gauge? The most important gauge on belly button rings is the piercing gauge itself; the belly button ring gauge, which indicates the size of the actual piercing within your navel. 14G is the standard belly button ring gauge size. 16G a slightly thinner gauge, is one of the belly ring sizes most often thought of as the other navel ring size. When shopping for a belly button ring, remember to look over Size Chart to make sure you understand what the measurements actually mean. All of these body jewelry measurements, and specifically, all of these belly button ring sizes, are going to help you determine which belly ring is going to fit and look the best on you.

Eddie Murphy: baby momma drama curiously timed
So Eddie Murphy has kept an ultra, ultra low profile for several years, but even before his divorce that sh-t was swirling. You know what I mean… And now Dreamgirls is coming out, said to be the finest performance of his career, possible nomination for Oscar, now all of a sudden he finds himself sandwiched between two women, one of whom claims his prolific seed is growing inside her. Coincidence or conspiracy or just plain Cruise??? Here's Eddie with his new accessory – Tracey Edmonds – ex wife of BabyFace who felt compelled to tell People Magazine that the two are together and have been seeing each other for a "month and a half". Haven't seen a couple so eager to confirm itself since…the GMD and Kat. This on the same day word broke that Eddie is denying ownership of Scary Spice's bump – telling some Dutch journalist not to make presumptions, that they're no longer together, that essentially anybody could be the daddy, but at the same time subtly acknowledging how badly Scary wants it to be his. Virility, thy name is Eddie Murphy. Oh right, and Tom Cruise too. Source

Windows 8 Couldn't Save Holiday PC Sales
Microsoft's new Windows 8 operating system was supposed to catalyze PC sales over the holidays. But it didn't even manage to cause a ripple.
Despite all the hype, PC sales during the year's most important buying season remained as sluggish as ever. In fact, for the first time in a half-decade, PC sales declined in the fourth quarter. Vendor rankings remained the same, with Hewlett-Packard ranked first in PC shipments, followed by Lenovo, Dell and Acer.
PC makers sold 89.8 million units globally in the fourth quarter of 2012, down 6.4 percent from the same quarter in 2011, according to new figures from IDC. Sales for the year also slipped, falling from about 364 million in 2011 to 352 million in 2012. That's a 3.2 percent drop.
Why the decline? A number of reasons: Continuing economic woes obviously had some effect on sales, as did consumers' increasing fascination with tablets and smartphones. But IDC also thinks PC makers blew it by not releasing compelling new hardware to take advantage of Windows 8's new features.
"Consumers expected all sorts of cool PCs with tablet- and touch-optimized capabilities," IDC research director David Daoud explained. "Instead, they mostly saw traditional PCs that feature a new OS (Windows 8) optimized for touch and tablet, with applications and hardware that are not yet able to fully utilize these capabilities."
In other words, it was going to be a tough quarter to begin with. But PC makers didn't do themselves any favors by failing to capitalize on the benefits of Windows 8, or at least explaining them well to consumers.
And that will likely remain a challenge in the year ahead. For 2013, IDC forecasts a meager 2.8 percent growth in PC sales.

Arizona State Trailer Sales, Inc. d/b/a Little Dealer Little Prices RV v. World Wide RV, No. FA1003001315658 (Nat'l Arb. Forum, May 7, 2010)
Startups in the process of selecting a company or product name are often frustrated to see that someone else, years ago, registered the .com version of their newly thought-of name. Similarly, companies that have acquired a trademark registration wonder whether they can use their crisp new registration certificate to stomp out someone else who has been using a domain name similar to the company's new mark.
A recent case arising under the Uniform Domain Name Dispute Resolution Policy (UDRP for short) shows us that the earlier domain name registration is usually going to be on solid ground against a later-arriving trademark owner.
In the case of Arizona State Trailer Sales, Inc. d/b/a Little Dealer Little Prices RV v. World Wide RV, a National Arbitration Forum panelist denied the trademark owner's cybersquatting claim against another company who had registered the domain name version of the trademark in 2006.
To be successful under the UDRP, the complainant would have had to show:
- the domain name registered by the respondent was identical or confusingly similar to a trademark or service mark in which the complainint had rights;
- the respondent had no rights or legitimate interests in respect of the domain name; and
- the domain name had been registered and was being used in bad faith.
The complaint failed on the first of these three elements. The panel found that the requirement of being identical or confusingly similiar "necessarily implies that Complainant's rights must predate the registration of Registrant's domain name." Since the domain name in this case was registered years before, there was no relief to be had. The request to transfer the domain name was denied.

UNIVERSITY PARK, Pa. -- There's no denying that online learning is sweeping across higher education. To keep Penn State up to date with the latest technologies, the Center for Online Innovation in Learning (COIL) is leveraging the University's extensive research efforts with publications, grants, events and research and development initiatives. The growing community has been working hard to push online learning into exciting new frontiers at Penn State.
"COIL is designed to bring together people — like those from Teaching and Learning with Technology (TLT) — who are interested in innovating the teaching and learning process," said Kyle Peck, co-director of COIL. "We work hard to connect faculty, staff and students from across Penn State and beyond to create a community that will move the University and online learning forward."
COIL's vision is to be an all-encompassing organization that goes beyond faculty research.
"The idea is to integrate not just faculty but also staff, learning designers and students into our efforts," said Fred Fonseca, COIL co-director. "Instead of being a traditional research center, we think the process and sharing of research should also involve a community of practitioners who are creating the courses."
One method of building this community is COIL research initiation grants (RIGs), which are designed to stimulate research and development in areas related to online innovation. Faculty, students and staff from any Penn State campus are eligible. COIL has two proposal cycles — one in the fall and one in the spring. The spring 2014 proposal deadline is May 15.
One RIG was granted to Ann Clements, associate professor of music education in the School of Music, who is developing a music education module that will be available to Big Ten institutions with music education programs. The module will function much like a massive open online course (MOOC) and will act as the first five weeks of an introduction to music education course at the partner schools.
"With help from COIL, Ann is traveling to different schools, meeting with the faculty who are interested and generating different pieces of content, assignments and videos," said Bart Pursel, faculty services coordinator with TLT and COIL co-director. "Then Ann's coming back to Penn State and essentially creating a five-week music education module with some help from COIL and other folks."
Another RIG is being developed to help improve social skills for children with autism.
The team — led by Suzanne Scherf, assistant professor of psychology in the College of Liberal Arts — is working with Blizzard Entertainment (makers of the popular game "World of Warcraft") on developing game-like technologies that can help autistic children learn social skills online.
"It's a really interesting and out-of-the-box approach to addressing a pervasive issue," said Brad Zdenek, education strategy and planning manager for COIL. "We think the project could be especially helpful for individuals in rural communities where some of the support services may not be as developed as in other places."
These examples show the diversity of projects that RIGs support, and Peck said there have been proposals sent in by a variety of colleges, campuses and academic programs.
"It's great because the University understands that online learning innovation is not just the domain of the College of Education or the IT community — that in fact it's everyone's domain," Peck said. "Everybody understands that from the departments of anthropology to zoology, there's a big range of people who can improve learning. That's one of the most exciting parts of COIL."
Pursel added that COIL has received proposals from other institutions like Drexel University, Ball State University and the University of Michigan.
"We realized that online learning doesn't just revolve around Penn State," said Pursel. "There's some really interesting expertise at these other universities that we've been able to pull in. It's a great opportunity for collaboration."
COIL also reaches out to the Penn State community with events, both those held by COIL and other groups. Recently, COIL co-sponsored the Penn State Symposium for Teaching and Learning with Technology, including a session track and e-poster sessions.
"We do a lecture series, the COIL Fischer Speaker Series and also what we call COIL Conversations," Peck said. "Anyone can suggest a topic they'd like to explore with other faculty and staff. Then we arrange a meeting room, both in person and through Adobe Connect, so people from all the campuses can participate."
COIL also reaches out in other ways.
"Occasionally COIL may also hold or sponsor different gatherings, travel to a conference, join and participate in a webinar or hold research discussions," said Lawrence C. Ragan, co-director of COIL. "It's all part of building a community of research and development that will take online learning to some very exciting places, and we're thrilled for the future."
To learn more about COIL and how to submit a COIL Rig proposal by May 15, go to http://coil.psu.edu/. For more stories about IT at Penn State, visit Current at http://current.it.psu.edu.
COIL often collaborates with staff from TLT, including Chris Millet, assistant director of Education Technology Services, and Chris Stubbs, IT project manager. As research and development affiliates, they work with COIL to directly contribute to the center's research endeavors.

It's only an empty threat if you refuse to back it up. Which is what Corbyn is doing.theadore wrote:The idea that a nation, particularly one like Russia can't spot an empty threat when they see one is a bit ridiculous. The very idea of a western invasion of Russia is laughable, we lack the means as well as the appitite for it.
If the threat was so empty, Russia wouldn't have given two fucks about the Ukraine joining Nato; however they did, leading to military action to shore up their own line of defence.
Should both Corbyn and Trump end up in power, I think Russia would invade the Baltic countries fairly shortly after.

- 1 MT (we used a prot warrior with frost resist gear)
- 1 OT (recommended; feral druids work best as they are uncrittable in dps gear)
- 3 healers
The first 65% may make you feel like you can get away with two healers. While this is accurate for that first 65%, phase 3 (starting at 35%) will take up half of the fight length and will require 3 healers: one healer will always have the unchained magic debuff, and if another gets iceblocked (which is very likely), then you will be down two healers until that block is broken.
The Pull:
Now, this is very, very important. Sindragosa will aggro immediately after you kill Rimefang, and as she arrives, she will block off the ramps and upper platform at the top of the stairs. Any players caught up there will be out of LoS and unable to contribute to the fight. Do not stand at the top of the stairs when Sindragosa aggros!
Below is the way we (generally) arranged ourselves for phase 1: tanking her facing away from the raid, with melee arranged along her side and ranged clustering together within aoe heal range and heal range of the tank, but out of the front cone of her breaths. She has a decently sized hit box.
Besides the usual "cleave, tail whip" dragon abilities, Sindragosa has a raid-wide frost damage aura, as well as these other tricks:
- Unchained Magic: this debuff will always cast on one magical dps, and one healer. If you have no magical dps, then it will just cast on one healer. Whenever a player has this debuff, any spell they cast (including heals) will stack Instability on them. When the Instability stack falls off, it will deal magical damage to that player. 6-7 stacks is fine for P1/P2; in P3, I recommend reducing that by at least one for every stack of Mystic Buffet you have on you (since that increases the damage you will take).
- Frost Breath: cone breath attack, slows the tank. We had our tank wearing frost resist gear (the crafted stuff) for this reason. If you are not the tank, you need to avoid standing in her front cone, even if you are out of cleave range!
- Chilled to the Bone: where casters have instability, this is what physical dps get stacking on them. It has a chance to stack on each melee attack. 3-4 stacks is fine; once you get up to 5-6 stacks, however, pull back and hold off on attacks until your stacks drop.
- Icy Grip: Sindragosa will pull the whole raid (and sometimes the totems too) on top of her. IMMEDIATELY run away from her. If you're lagging, have a holy priest cast the speed-bubble on you (if specced!) or some sort of life-saving buff! Otherwise her Blistering Cold attack will one-shot you. You have 5 seconds to get more than 25 yards away from her. RUN.
Phase 2:
At 85% health (and every 1:50 afterwards) Sindy will fly up into the air and cast Frost Beacon (good debuff to add to your raid frames) on two random targets. At this point, your raid will want to run to a predetermined location (we chose the corner by the stairs) and gather up. The two players who are marked with frost beacon need to spread out nearby (more than 10 yards away from others): healers should pump the beaconed players full of HoTs and then, when the beacon wears off, the two marked players will become ice tombed.
Sindy will begin firing explosive frost bombs around the room: she will cast four of them before landing again. Everyone will need to use the ice tombs to LoS the explosions. DPS down the frost tombs a little bit at a time as she sends down the bombs; after the fourth bomb goes off, break the tombs and run back in to repeat Phase 1. If you take too long to break an ice tomb, the player inside will begin to suffocate.
|Important: you need to LoS the bombs, NOT Sindragosa herself. There will be little blue frost runes on the floor marking where her next bomb will land. This is what you need to LoS.
Use bloodlust/heroism if available right after she lands from an air phase. You will want to push her past 35% before she enters a 4th air phase, due to the enrage timer. Remember, the last 35% of this fight will take as long or longer than the rest of it, and you want to push through the early phases as quickly as possible.
Phase 3:
At 35% health, Sindy stops hopping into the air, but she will begin casting ice tombs (via frost beacons) one by one on the raid and pulse out mystic buffet on everyone in LoS of her. You will use the ice tombs to drop your mystic buffet stacks as often as possible.
The key to ice tomb positioning is keeping them close enough to the tank for healers to be able to LoS the buffet, but still be able to see the tank to heal them. Your raid will use these ice tombs to drop their mystic buffet stacks via LoS.
If your MT is using frost resist gear, they will want to drop their own mystic buffet stacks after about 9-11 stacks (assuming their OT isn't in an ice tomb). Coordinate a swap after a frost breath to limit the likelihood of the OT needing to tank through a frost breath of their own. Equipping the OT with frost protection pots will help in a pinch, if you are using a dps-geared feral druid. Our OT was getting 4 stacks at most. If you are using a warrior, they can use intervene to quickly rush themselves to an ice tomb to drop their stacks, or use it to get back to the offtank. When the tanks are swapping, avoid having both tanks standing together in the same frost breath.
This phase is all about controlling yourselves, as a raid.
- Melee should focus on killing ice tombs, as it gives them plenty of opportunity to drop their own stacks without gaining stacks of Chilled to the Bone (from attacking Sindy herself). We had our three melee, including the OT, focus entirely on killing these blocks. One of the melee took charge on vent to coordinate ice tombs: which to kill, when, and to verbally alert who had the next beacon. If any players looked to be standing too close to the next beaconed player, he'd also call out warning.
- Ranged DPS should try to drop their mystic buffet stacks behind every other ice tomb, while spending the rest of the time killing Sindragosa. It is very important that they pay attention to their instability and mystic buffet stacks, as they can easily kill themselves in this phase.
- Healers should try their best to keep the tanks and raid alive around ice tombs and instability. Do your best to LoS the mystic buffet at all times without loosing LoS on the tank. If you have unchained magic, limit how many stacks of instability you gain with your mystic buffet stacks, as it is very easy to kill yourself.
We did have a few attempts where we did everything perfectly, but came up against the enrage timer. It is for this reason that we used a dps-spec offtank, since she was able to pour out full DPS when she wasn't tanking, and a frost-resist maintank, since he could take far more stacks in P3 than he could without it.
Good luck!

A friend of mine gave me this recipe several years ago. I never used it until a couple of days ago. We really enjoyed it and I have another batch of bacon ends simmering as I type this
Servings: 4
3 pounds pork belly, sliced into 1-inch cubes
1 cup mayonnaise
6 tablespoons maple syrup
½ cup salt plus more for seasoning
Six (6) French baguettes, sliced horizontally and toasted
Louisiana-style hot sauce I use Crystal sauce. Less sour than Tabasco
2 cups chopped lettuce
I also and some thinly sliced sweet onions
1 cup sliced dill pickles
Peanut oil for frying
Salt & pepper
Fully submerge the pork belly in a pot of water, add the ½ cup of salt and bring to a boil. Reduce to a simmer and cook until the pork belly is flaky, 3 to 4 hours. Turn off the heat and drain.
Heat the peanut oil to 350˚F in a fryer or large pot. Gently place handfuls of the rendered pork belly into the fryer until golden crispiness, 5 to 7 minutes. Transfer to a plate or bowl and season with salt and pepper.
I use my air fryer instead of wasting peanut oil. Same great results.
Mix the mayonnaise and maple syrup in a bowl. Spread a heft portion on the bottom baguette halves, followed by a little squirt of the hot sauce. Top with a handful of chopped lettuce, a couple of dill pickle slices and pork belly. Finish with a heavy drizzle of the mayonnaise-maple syrup mixture and enjoy!
Ribs, butts, chops, any pork recipes.

Waianae Gold Kiawe Flour
Like son, like father. Vince Dodge is trying to do for kiawe flour what his son, Daniel Anthony, is doing for taro and paiai. Except there's one problem: Kiawe is an introduced plant with no ties to native Hawaiian culture, unlike taro, which is deeply intertwined. Which means that Hawaii's knowledge of kiawe is pretty close to zero, at least when it comes to using it as a food source.
Eight years ago, a couple from Arizona introduced Dodge to kiawe (or mesquite) flour—a sweet, gluten-free flour with an aroma of molasses and coconut— made by milling dried kiawe pods. Turns out, the tree we see mostly as a source of firewood and painful thorns actually yields a staple for Southwestern tribes and some Andean cultures.
Dodge traveled to learn more. He went to Tucson, Arizona and learned to mill kiawe beans into flour. He destroyed a few blenders and coffee grinders before purchasing a mill made specifically for kiawe, upping his production to 300 gallons of beans at a time.
"But I began to realize that we were groping around in the dark with kiawe," says Dodge. "This wasn't an original plant or food for us. Daniel, my son, is going back to the original recipe [with taro and paiai]. When you have that, you have a foundation to play off of."
Dodge didn't. Almost all the recipes he came across used very little kiawe flour. Wouldn't it be great to find recipes that were straight mesquite, he thought. To do that, he needed to "hang out with people for whom kiawe is their main tree," he says. He headed to northern Argentina, with no connections and no plan, and just by chance, happened upon a Wichi tribe who showed him how they ate kiawe flour. (The secret: lots of pounding and some water. Sound familiar?) From them, he derived his popular Waianae Gold Aina Bar, a dense, raw energy bar of kiawe flour, peanut butter and honey. "They're the gateway drug to kiawe," Dodge says.
Since then, Honolulu pastry chefs have picked up on kiawe flour, like a strawberry cheesecake with kiawe flour crumbles at MW Restaurant and kiawe flour "cornbread" and chocolate chip cookies at Highway Inn. Dodge has even fielded inquiries from Big Island Candies and the Halekulani.
Dodge wants to make clear, though, his "first priority is not a business that makes kiawe flour. Our vision is not some large factory in Waianae. Our vision is many many mills in different community organizations, small businesses that are number one feeding their community." In addition to selling the kiawe flour, Dodge trains Waianae youth and works with the drug rehab center to harvest and dry the beans and produce the flour.
Though the flour is available at Kokua Market in town, Dodge says he sells more of it at the Waianae farmers market: "We get everybody from the surfers to the lifeguards to the aunty, uncle and kupuna" interested in what he calls a "brand new ancient food."
"This is gold," he says. "That's why we call it that."

[January 19, 2013]
HEYWORTH -- The reign as radio speaking
champion continues for Lincoln Community High School senior Sara
Shane, as she was crowned the varsity champion Saturday at
Heyworth's The Link Tournament.
Heyworth's tourney was the first
back for the team after a winter hiatus for finals and Christmas
Head coach Jennifer Keith said her team's seventh-place finish
was a great way to start 2013 for this small team.
"We have been plagued by illness, stomach flu and bronchitis, but
it appears other teams are in the same boat," said Keith. "I am very
proud of how our kids performed at this tournament and look forward
to great things when we host in a few weeks."

Many of the team members are preparing for the LCHS winter play
and hosting the Lincoln Community High School Endangered Speechies
Tournament on Jan. 26 at Lincoln. The LCHS speech team will also
host the IHSA regional tournament Feb. 2.
Any former "speechies" or fans and community members wishing to
help with either tournament would be greatly appreciated. Contact
Keith at 217-732-4131 or
email@example.com for more details.
