I wonder if these new cards are gonna be any better mining those bitcoins even after the reward halving...
I burned out a graphics card mining. literally. there was a tiny pool of copper in the middle of a scortch mark on the back of the card, where it was facing up. an entire lil logic chip exploded into fire, and liquid copper. roasted the psu, the mobo too. suffice to say i summarily informed my wife that i would be ceasing bitcoin mining, immediately
That was solder, not copper. Copper melts at over 1000 degrees centigrade
And the value of bitcoins will drop like a brick when these get these devices get on the market ? And continue dropping until the price of running such a device is higher than the bitcoins it creates ?
I have 350 heads on a 305 engine and a Nikon D3200 with a 18–55 with a new DX-format CMOS that can do 3.4 FPS while I chat over IAX using G.729.
Zoid.com. I wish that I'd thought of that. LMAO!
Honestly, that's sort of 50% of why the 600 series is such a badass in the mobile market: because it has a pretty damned low power draw and still manages to issue forth a lot of power. I'm seeing them show up in ultrabooks, for god's sake. Can AMD really bring the heat on this?
If they fix Enduro then yes. They started fixing the damn thing recently so i guess the answer will be yes.
While it's all fine and good emphatizing on the computing capabilities and bragging with MHz, GFLOPS and the such, any good slashdotter knows we're already well beyond the "good enough" threshold.
In the meantime, only few vague words are spent for improved power efficiency.
I personally don't feel the need for a graphic card that goes the double faster and draws 80% more power.
Give me a graphic card that goes same as the actual one, but consumes 40% less, thank you.
For things like games, nothing will be "good enough" for a long time. For general computing tasks, you are correct though.
Anyway. Both AMD and NVIDIA release also cut-down versions of their architectures, which should accomplish what you want. You get a chip that consumes less power than your previous one, but has roughly the same amount of performance than what you had.
Game graphics are already "good enough" though. Good enough doesn't mean "photorealistic" in all cases. Photorealism ruins the feel of certain types of games - for example I preferred the style of GTA III to GTA IV. I think Saints Row 3 gets a nice balance between the two. Keeping slightly cartoon-ish characters while making the environment more realistic. Especially in fantasy games.
For racing games and other vehicle simulators etc we already basically have photorealism in the models and lighting. It's little details like camera shake help to make things feel more realistic, and I'd say they're more important details than getting the last few percentage points towards perfect reflections and particle physics (though those are nice too).
It's people who buy games based on graphics that are letting gaming become such a formulaic experience these days. What isn't "good enough" these days is how publishers take a good idea/series and plow the shit out of it. The guitar hero/rock band games were great fun, but they oversaturated the market. Assassin's Creed 1 was okay. 2 was spectacular, Brotherhood even better. But then they brought out Revelations which didn't add much at all or have a particularly involving story, and even AC3 felt a bit rushed IMO. The graphics in all of these games are definitely good enough to get the job done. It's the gameplay that is important.
Sigh. Rant over..
I think Saints Row 3 gets a nice balance between the two. Keeping slightly cartoon-ish characters while making the environment more realistic.
Agree with that one. Saints Row 3 is really nice package both technically and artistically.
Matter of taste.
For me, "good enough" means Half Life 2 graphics quality, which even an older card can handle. For instance, the Nvidia 8600 GT in my older, secondary PC from 2007
I alredy have 8600
oh wait never mind.
I can see a bit of a problem with the numbering system that nVidia and ATI use. nVidia had a range of mobile graphics processors that used the name 8x00m. Queue lawsuit and consumer confusion in 5...4...3...
and always have, but the 7970m has been out an age, was a good price, had potential to be the gaming card in mobile riggs - and came out with broken drivers. AMD seemingly had extreme disinterest in fixing these drivers, or were unable to fix the problem with drivers. Someone inside AMD has to get a grip and make sure issues like this get solved, resolved, fixed.
And I do not know how the 7970m got stellar reviews - because later it became legion that it has issues. I hope the 8000m series is better.
These cards are based on the same Southern Islands core as the 7000 series. So, why is AMD calling these 8000 series? Because AMD has run out of money, causing the real 8000 series (Sea Islands) to be delayed: http://www.techspot.com/news/50975-amd-radeon-hd-8000-series-could-be-delayed-until-q2-2013.html [techspot.com]
I really do not plan on playing games on a *shudders*, laptop. For someone that was really looking for the best value, the most performance for least cost, the desktop will always be where the cutting edge is on performance. You can't beat the desktop which does not have to worry about space, cooling and power restraints, that lead to lower powered devices that cost more.
Also, shouldn't AMD be producing x86 cell phone system on chips and working on getting these sold to manufacturers as it should have years
Wasn't AMD supposed to have it's 8000/9000 series release with their documentation for the OSS drivers?
This would be a good oportunity for AMD to release driver documentation, so dev can start developing FLOSS drivers for *nix.
Computer programmers do it byte by byte.

What the hell is going on at ASU?
First one of their cheerleaders goes XXX, now some ASU student is arrested AT THE LIBRARY for spanking it to Internet porn on his laptap. When the cops arrested him and asked him why he decided the ol' library was the place to view porn and whack off, the kid said, "To be honest, the Internet connection at my dorm isn't good enough."
We here at the M Zone think he's lying. If you are friends with anybody who goes or has gone to ASU, you know studying isn't high on their agenda. Thus, the kid was probably thinking, "Hell, at least it will be empty."
Then again, maybe everybody from his dorm was at the library studying Courtney Simpson.
20 comments:
He looks like he may be related to PeeWee Herman. Apparently looks aren't the only traits they share.

Anon, that is PeeWee Herman. We just added the Sun Devil on the sleeve and changed the lettering on the board.
At least PeeWee was caught where you'd expect such behavior. But as Yost pointed out in the post, maybe this guy was just looking for some privacy.
- February 10, 2006 10:09 AM
Benny, I am such a jackass! I should have realized that was a doctored pic of Paul Reubens. But anyway what I wanted to add is that anyone that has worked in the library profession for very long (like me) can tell you that this type of behavior is not unique to ASU. "Spanking it in the library" is an issue that is confronted eventually by all librarians and even lectures are given in library schools about handling (pun intended) such situations. SPANK ON you Sun Devil you!
- February 11, 2006 1:03 PM
Just when I thought M******* fans couldn't go any lower, they turn their football forum into a porn site. Way to go!
- February 11, 2006 2:45 PM
- Yost said...
Thanks for reading, Anon.
Next year we're thinking of spitting on opposing bands and searching their team buses with bomb sniffing dogs.
It's all a part of our quest to be just like Tosu fans.
- February 11, 2006 2:48 PM
Guess when you can't win the games on the field, you have to insult another team's fans to feel superior. Stick to the porno. Y'all are better at that.
- February 11, 2006 3:49 PM
- Yost said...
And I guess when you have nothing better to do, you spend all day on another team's blog seeing if they responded to your previous comments.
So, from all of us, thanks for spending your Saturday here at the M Zone. We appreciate it.
- February 11, 2006 4:24 PM

Last Anon,
If your idea of porn is a mugshot of Paul Ruebens, you've got issues.
- February 11, 2006 4:44 PM
- Yost said...
- February 11, 2006 4:52 PM
Not waiting for any comments of yours. I was just wasting my time reading the rest of your smart@ss drivel that's an excuse for a sports website.
- February 11, 2006 5:24 PM
- Yost said...
Ok, first off, you're obviously not a Buckeye fan. Fans who love to wear -- yes, WEAR -- "Fuck Michigan" gear don't edit out the word "@ss" on a blog.
As for what this website is and isn't, there are plenty of sites that give straight up sports analysis and commentary. If you came here for that, well, no wonder you feel cheated. That's not what we do. We're a mix of the serious and the humorous. And if you take the humorous too seriously, well, we can't help you there.
And so you know, we here at the M Zone don't look at this as an "excuse for a sports website." We do it as an excuse to procrastinate. And judging from your numerous stops, you use it for the same purpose.
Good news is, Anon, you get what you pay for. And all those straight up sports websites are only a mouse click away.
Finally, believe it or not, we actually appreciate your comments, both good (not today) and bad (see above). It's given me an excuse not to do some work I'm supposed to be doing as I defend the honor of our little chunk of cyberspace.
Your dear friends at the M Zone
PS Have a nice day
- February 11, 2006 5:37 PM
Excuse me people, let's not lose the essence of this post: Some poor bastard was arrested for jacking off in the library.
I don't know about y'all but when I wacked it in the library I feel kinda sick, but I if I was arrested for it well that would be completely humiliating.
Also wouldn't you hate to be the cop that had to arrest this bastard. I mean you wouldn't want to have to touch him or put the cuffs on him, hell he's probably got jizz(spelling?)on his hands.
So y'all see it doesn't matter who your team is b/c there's some fool out that we can all laugh at and this bastard makes us all happy that something like that hasn't happened to us...yet.
BTW Yost, I love y'all's forum!
- February 11, 2006 5:52 PM
- Yost said...
Glad you like it, Anon. And I agree: Man, does that poor cop have a story to tell when he gets home!
- February 11, 2006 5:59 PM
- Yost said...
I went to college in the pre-high speed Internet connection days. We had to whack it the old fashioned way: to Playboy and other magazine. You kids today. When I was your age...

Hey, it's not DI .. hell, it's not even NCAA, but at my tiny little Jesuit haven of Loyola University New Orleans we had a repeat masturbator, dubbed the Uptown Masturbator. He was at large for a few years, but finally got caught ... looking at foot fetish porn no less. Hey, at least it made writing for the campus paper interesting!
- February 12, 2006 2:58 AM

Here's one of the stories...

Allow me to state for the record that neither I, nor any of the M Zone staff have ever been to LUNO on the dates in question. Ok, we're not 100% sure about Wangs (I mean, "Wangs?") but we're pretty sure. Say...36% sure.
- February 12, 2006 3:03 AM
- Yost said...
PS Although, when you think about it, aren't we all repeat masturbators?
I guess the only difference is the doing it in public part.
- February 12, 2006 3:04 AM

Loved the headline "The Masturbator Returns." Sounds like the title of an awful Batman sequal.

SPRINGFIELD -- New state laws that take effect today will raise annual license plate sticker costs by $2 and tax strip club visits to help fund sex crime prevention efforts.
More new laws range from an effort to stop school violence like the stabbing of Elgin teacher Carolyn Gilbert several years ago to more obscure legislation like a ban on shark fin soup.
Here's some of what's new for 2013:
School violence
New safeguards will allow local police to share some information with school officials about warning signs that might lead to violent acts by a student.
The law, inspired by a Daily Herald investigation, stems from Elgin teenager Angel Facio's stabbing of teacher Carolyn Gilbert and is meant to prevent similar acts.
At the time of the January 2008 stabbing in an Elgin High School classroom, Facio was the subject of a pending police investigation for a crime outside of school.
Last summer, Gilbert told the Daily Herald she hopes the new law will work.
"It may not have happened to me if there would have been that communication, because he'd had those other problems with the law. If we'd known about that I would have never, ever have been in the room alone with him," she said.
Cars for parks
License plate stickers now will cost $101, up from $99. The fee is intended to raise money for Illinois state parks, which have suffered from budget cuts in recent years.
It's an issue familiar to some suburban lawmakers. State Rep. JoAnn Osmond, an Antioch Republican, proposed earlier this year that park goers buy annual stickers that would raise money for the parks.
She doesn't support the new fee that lawmakers opted for because it costs everyone, not just people who go to the parks.
Now, Osmond said, lawmakers have to be sure money from the license plate stickers actually goes to pay for the state parks and not toward some other expense. She said the parks in her district, such as Chain O' Lakes State Park, need the help.
"It's so desperate," she said.
See all salaries
A new law from two suburban lawmakers requires counties, townships and municipalities to send information to the state so their workers' salaries can be published on Accountability.Illinois.gov, a site that already includes state worker salary information.
It's up to the local governments to provide the state the information.
The plan was from state Sen. Susan Garrett of Lake Forest and state Rep. Jack Franks of Marengo, both Democrats.
"We want full disclosure so people understand where their taxes are being spent," Garrett said.
Optional jury per diem
Garrett also sponsored a proposal that allows someone on jury duty to waive the per diem given by the court, typically $5 to $15.
Jury members conscious of local budget constraints will have an opportunity to save the court some money if they don't need the per diem.
Strip club tax
Any Illinois strip club will have to pay increased fees to the state, either $3 per customer or a flat fee for the year.
The money will go to try to prevent sexual assaults, and the increased costs could be passed on to customers.
Shark fin soup
Lawmakers banned the sale of shark fin soup, a meal that leads to the killing of too many sharks, supporters say.
Illinois became the first inland state to ban the soup.
Caylee's law
Spurred by the nationally watched Casey Anthony trial in 2011, Franks and other lawmakers pushed legislation that makes it a felony not to report a missing child to authorities within 24 hours.
Anthony was found innocent in the death of her daughter, Caylee. In the case, Anthony was said to have not reported Caylee missing for more than 30 days.

Becoming a co-owner: It's more than just sharing toothpaste (Proceedings)
Co-ownership issues often arise when veterinary practitioners enter into a partnership with other owners, or when two or more associates jointly venture into practice acquisition. In most aspects co-ownership of a veterinary practice is akin to marriage, and it is vitally important to agree on the principal terms governing the relationship before getting hitched. The fundamental issues that need to be addressed upfront are how "power", "money" and "risk" will be allocated among the partners. Contrary to "common sense thinking", these 3 criteria are not related proportionally. For example, a partner with a 10% interest in the company, may get "10%" of the profits; "0%" the power, and "100%" of the liability.
Of all the business arrangements with which individuals become involved, partnerships are the most challenging. This is because the relationship may span decades, during which time the dynamics of these relationships are inherently subject to significant change. Parties of healthy partnerships revisit the terms of their partnerships no less frequently than every 3 years, thereby ensuring that the changing circumstances of their co-ownership relationship are addressed. While most veterinarians seldom allocate much time outside of the practice of veterinary medicine to address such matters, it is far preferable to resolve co-ownership issues at an early stage rather than to wait until a dispute arises, as denial and misunderstanding are the handmaidens of messy divorces.
Consider the following key co-ownership issues:1. What type of Legal Entity is Your Partnership?
What basic form should the practice take? ("C" corporation, "S" corporation, Limited Liability Company (LLC), partnership (general or limited), sole proprietorship) When buying less than all of a practice, the buyer usually must accept the existing structure. Even when buying 100% of already existing entity, adverse tax consequences often preclude transforming that entity. Those purchasing assets or starting from scratch generally have greater latitude. Selecting the right entity is a complex decision that should be thoroughly explored with the owners' accountant and attorney. Generally, tax considerations are determinative, but liability is also an important aspect. For example, while general partnerships often permit added flexibility, each partner is responsible for his share of the losses run up by the other partners (i.e., joint and several liability). Thus, if a partner incurs malpractice losses exceeding the practice's insurance coverage, the other partners will be responsible for the shortfall.
2. How are Salaries and Profits Distributed Among the Partners?.
How will owners be paid for their efforts as veterinarians? Will their compensation be based on their individual gross revenues, on practice gross revenues, or will they be paid a flat salary? Or should it be a combination of the foregoing? Note that owners are almost always also employees of the practice and permitted to take advantage of various tax advantaged employee benefit plans.
How will the practice's profits be shared? Should each owner's "take" be based on his ownership interest in the practice, his relative contribution to the practice's gross revenues, his ability to bring in knew clients (i.e., "rainmaking"), other factors, or a combination of several? Some business entities, such as partnerships, allow more flexibility than others in distributing profits. Beware of the double taxation consequences of distributing dividends from a "C" Corporation. "S" corporations are less flexible because the profits are distributed in proportion to ownership interest.
3. How is Your Partnership Governed and Managed?.
Governance of the selected practice entity are addressed in its constituent documents or more frequently in a shareholders' agreement (partnership agreements for partnerships, operating agreements for LLCs). When two equal co-owners join, typically all decisions will require unanimity, subject to perhaps dividing the day to day management duties among themselves. Three or more owners, particularly if they don't have equal shares in the practice usually require more complicated schemes. For example, majority vote needed for all decisions, other than certain enumerated strategic matters such as the acceptance of a new partner, or approving capital expenditures over a certain threshold, which require a super majority vote (e.g., 66.66%) or even unanimity.

Installed mid-season on my eXtrema2...Wow! Hammered the ducks. I'm ordering another one for my A400. Low profile is key and mounting system is great. It's durable in a boat, blind, or in the timber. Only drawback is the cover is sure easy to lose/misplace! I only had it 2 days, but no issue with the sight not having it. Damn good product that is worth the money.

Cold-drakes were, to the best of our knowledge, lesser dragons; those of dragon-kind who did not have the ability to make fire.
They were used by Morgoth in the wars of the First Age, though no specific mention of them in this period remains in Tolkien's published work. After the War of Wrath, in which most would have perished, some few seem to have escaped into the northern regions of Middle-earth, beyond the Grey Mountains.
As the millennia passed, their numbers grew, until they became a serious threat in the later centuries of the Third Age to the Dwarves that inhabited the Grey Mountains, whom they eventually made war against. In the year 2589 of the Third Age, Dáin I, King of Durin's folk, and his second son Frór were slain at the gates of their halls by a Cold-drake. The attacks of these fearsome creatures persuaded most of the Dwarves to migrate eastwards from the Grey Mountains, and it was soon afterwards that the Iron Hills and Erebor became the major dwellings of the Longbeards.
Of the history of the Cold-drakes after this period we are given no hint. Four hundred years later, at the time of Bilbo Baggins' journey to Erebor, they seem to have left the Grey Mountains (at least, Gandalf makes no mention of them when describing the dangers of that region). It is possible that the Orcs who colonized the mountains after the departure of the Dwarves drove them back into the cold wastes to the north, or that the Dwarves did after they retook them. However, we can do no more than speculate on their ultimate fate.

Zlatan Ibrahimovic drew superlatives the world over with his stunning four goal performance against England last week, mainly thanks to his wondergoal in the dying minutes of the inaugural game at the Friends Arena.
With his back to goal and England goalkeeper Joe Hart in no man's land, the enigmatic Paris Saint-Germain striker launched an overhead kick from 25 yards which flew perfectly into the back of the net.
The goal was so good the next day it prompted the question; 'Was it the best goal of all time?'
While that seems a little but over the top there was no doubting just how good Ibrahimovic's goal was, and since then the internet has been awash with amazing Zlatan moments.
But today came a video that only a few would have seen that perfectly demonstrates his laconic brilliance.
In the warm up for the game, in which Sweden ran out 4-2 winners against England, Ibrahimovic was amongst his team-mates preparing for the big game by...juggling the ball.
While it his highly unlikely his array of tricks helped him prepare for the challenge of facing England he certainly showed his wide array tricks. Then, as the ball drops to the floor, Ibrahimovic spots another ball rolling by and slams it into the crossbar from around 30-yards away! The video, which sums up everything there is to love about Ibrahimovic, can be seen below. Enjoy.

Program: The Buddha
Air date: Wednesday, April 7, at 7 p.m.
This documentary for PBS by award-winning filmmaker David Grubin and narrated by Richard Gere, tells the story of the Buddha's life, a journey especially relevant to our own bewildering times of violent change and spiritual confusion. It features the work of some of the world's greatest artists and sculptors who, across two millennia, have depicted the Buddha's life in art rich in beauty and complexity.
This is a beautiful film, visually, musically and theologically. It blends the Buddhist traditions and practices with the life story of the struggles and learning of Siddhartha. His experiences and insights are as relevant today as in his own time. A wonderful 2-hour respite from the world. A time to hear the story, but also to reflect on the world we live in and what our response to it will be. I encourage you to set aside the time to watch this beautiful film.

With the wireless market getting saturated and new high-speed technologies gaining prominence, AT&T (NYSE:T) is looking to bolster its high growth data businesses with more infrastructure spending and spectrum acquisitions. The largest telecom provider in the U.S. recently announced a 3-year $14 billion network investment plan that will not only help expand its 4G LTE network to new markets but also improve network quality and increase spectrum efficiency. [1] While a majority of the investment will be towards supporting the burgeoning wireless data growth, almost $6 billion has been earmarked for expanding and upgrading the speeds of its U-Verse wireline network.
The huge investment plan is a bet on the growing customer demand for high-speed networks that can efficiently transfer large amounts of data without clogging up. In addition to spending on infrastructure upgrades, AT&T is bolstering its spectrum position with a host of spectrum deals that will help it expand 4G LTE to new markets as well as increase network capacity. These moves seem to be motivated by its failed bid to acquire T-Mobile last year, an attempt that would have given the carrier enough spectrum and scale to build a robust LTE network and fend off competition from Verizon (NYSE:VZ) and Sprint (NYSE:S), but was thwarted by the FCC on anti-competitive concerns.
See our complete analysis for AT&T
AT&T's spectrum woes
AT&T's investment in network infrastructure and additional spectrum capacity will go toward augmenting 3G capacity as well as laying out a nationwide LTE network that will help it catch up with closest competitor, Verizon, which is currently well ahead in the LTE race. Having started deploying LTE much earlier than AT&T, Verizon now has a LTE network that is available to more than 260 million Americans in close to 420 markets across the U.S. In comparison, AT&T's LTE network covers about 80 million Americans presently and the carrier plans to add another 70 million people to its coverage by the year-end.
But, in order to bridge the gap and build a LTE network robust enough to compete with Verizon, it will need all the spectrum it can get its hands on. At the same time, rising smartphone penetration and the burgeoning data needs of subscribers using mobile devices such as the iPhone is putting a lot of strain on its 3G network that needs more investment and additional spectrum for strengthening. However, with Verizon acquiring a huge swathe of AWS spectrum from the cable companies and the FCC maintaining a hawkish stance on any large-scale spectrum consolidation, AT&T is targeting a number of smaller deals/acquisitions to meet its spectrum needs.
CapEx investment will help improve data ARPUs
AT&T has already signed more than 40 spectrum deals with various parties this year, with many yet to receive regulatory approval. (see AT&T Continues Acquisition Spree To Meet LTE Spectrum Needs) The FCC has also granted permission to a plan, jointly filed by AT&T and Sirius XM, that could lift restrictions and make WCS spectrum bands conducive for wireless broadband services such as LTE. With AT&T planning on buying out most of the WCS spectrum through these spectrum deals, AT&T's long-term LTE needs will be largely met. We expect most of AT&T's spectrum transactions to receive approval, and if so, the carrier will have about 118Mhz of spectrum nationwide. With the newly disclosed investment plan to boot, AT&T will be able to blanket 300 million Americans with LTE by the end of 2014.
The high capital expenditures will however have a negative impact on cash flow in the near-term, and hence on the company's fair valuation. But if the investment helps AT&T improve its network capacity and speeds, it will be able to monetize the high amount of data that its revamped network will be able to carry. With the wireless market increasingly saturated, most of the growth in the coming years will come from carriers' ability to increase their ARPU (Average Revenue Per User) by increasing data usage. AT&T's recent move to introduce tiered data-share plans, that help families add more number of devices to one account, is a step in this direction. As an increasing number of connected devices are added to the network and the high-speed 4G LTE causes customers to use more data, AT&T will be able to recoup the high investment it is planning through higher data ARPUs in the long term.

This blog focuses less on theory and more on lyrical mysticism, applied spellcrafting, experiential awareness of Divinity, and related topics. A haven for you who long to become your myth and live your poem. Faerie tales do come true.
Meeting Lady Olivia Robertson
I posted a piece about Olivia on my own site in April. Anne NN invited me to repost it here, which I think will help me with my grief.
I am stunned. Not in the sense of not expecting it, but in the sense of the shock of grief. I loved Olivia and respected her more than I can explain right this minute, bc I am too overwhelmed at this loss to find the right words.
But I can simply say there is no priestess I admired more.
Excerpts from the note that began the April post: "My dearest Olivia, Below is a post to honor and celebrate your birthday. The piece was written over a decade ago, but you may remember it, because you told me twice you wanted it as your memorial reading. A birthday is a much happier occasion, I am blessed to post this as a birthday offering."
I share the April piece here today in my grief-stricken love of her, and to comfort us in our loss, and in gratitude for her loving use of her amazingly brilliant mind.
Meeting Lady Olivia Robertson, written September 2002
In the early '90s, I was given a vision of Olivia. I saw her to be very similar to myself, what I would become. I hope that doesn't sound arrogant; Olivia is one of the public priestesses I most admire and my admiration for her also extends to her simply as a mystic with an enormously inclusive and remarkably warm heart. Thus, to say I think we are alike might sound uppity. But in fact, it's not that way. It's just that, simply speaking, we are quite alike! Take that as you will.
So I went on a pilgrimage in Ireland to meet her. To her castle in Clonegal. And I wondered: Since I only had that one brief visit scheduled, how was I going to forge the connection that I was spiritually driven to make?
Waiting for her to arrive, I suddenly sensed a presence behind me. Knowing she had come into the room, I turned and there she stood, wearing bright green eye shadow and her bathrobe, the latter clearly—somehow I knew this—worn as a ritual robe. She had posed herself precisely, and her entire aspect proclaimed, "Aren't I magnificent!?" And she was. She truly truly was. I knew that my vision had been real and correct.
We sat and chatted. Thinking that I had to grab her attention immediately, and somehow impress upon her that we had a reason to go further than a brief, amiable discussion, I took a risk: I told her who I was.
I said to her, "Olivia, I had to meet you. Because I've been told we are alike. I've been told that, like me, you are eccentric, a remarkable counselor, and an equally remarkable ritualist."
She responded, "Why do think they call us eccentric?" And then she went on, answering her own question, "You know, they did this book. And, in it, so-and-so lay on an altar and such-and-such-other-person was leaping over a fire, and they called me eccentric! But you know why I think they call us that? It's because we don't do it for the money."
Oh, but I gulped at that point. Because of what I knew I had to say next. To tell her who I was. Only the truth, as always, would do. And I said, "But, Olivia, I do get paid for my services." I didn't tell her that I do far more free work than the work that I get paid for, because that wasn't the point.
She looked at me, perhaps startled, and said, "Ah, I know why they call you eccentric. Because you are sincere. You believe the gods are real."
She understood. And although we had scheduled a brief visit of an hour or two, she cordially allowed me to spend the rest of the weekend with her.
There are many things I could say about Olivia. Not only in regard to what happened between us that weekend and since then, but also about her work in the world. But for now I will say this: She embodies a gracious inclusiveness that I think is sorely lacking in almost every other spiritual leader and religious organization I have seen. She understands that each person's path is beautifully valid and, therefore, welcomes everybody into the Fellowship of Isis, blessing each soul who appears before her, querying each person with delighted questions about their unique journey. And I will add this:
Years later, she came to dine with me in my home which, being oh-so-truly-humble, unlike myself, was a sharp contrast to her castle. And as we sat in my kitchen, breaking bread at my Formica table, I happened to tell her that I had spent seven years in Faerie; a time in which I was in trance 24 hours a day. And she asked a question that no one else had ever spoken, no one had had either the insight or forthrightness. She said, "Were you celibate during those years?"
She, again, understood; she is not only a profoundly loving person, though that would have been enough. She is far more. Often, when someone has a big heart like Olivia does, others assume that the good heartedness lacks depth. People tend to think that a person has to be one-dimensional—as if one can have a good heart or brilliance, creativity or amiability, cheerfulness or insight. No, people are much more complex and wonderful than that. And in Olivia's case, the "more" is that she is also a true not to mention brilliant mystic, and a woman I suspect has made heart rendering sacrifices to serve the community.
At the time of this writing, I have not seen Olivia for maybe three years. And I will get to be with her again in a week. During her last few visits to the States, I had to be at different conferences than she was at. I hated it but, you see, to use the old, trite, but so apt expression, duty called. I am a priestess and must go where Goddess sends me.
So this chance to see her face again, to tell her how much she means to me once again, and to pay homage in any way I can is exciting. I do not use the word homage as a sycophant; for I, too, am one who can proclaim her own magnificence. I have no false humility. But in my struggle to be a community servant, in the day-to-day fierceness of battling for a better world, I, warrior, lift my sword in salute, paying homage to my comrades in arms. To those who walk beside me, believing in greatness, sacrificing far too much for the good fight—you know, there's no other way to fight the good fight except to sacrifice far too much —, I say, "I could not continue this battle, this terribly difficult work, without you by my side. Even if I never see you, simply knowing that somewhere you are doing the work that needs to be done allows me to keep doing it myself." And I look up to the spiritual servants, though I am one myself. Lady Olivia Robertson, one warrior and lady to another, blessings on your magnificent soul.

Beautifully and perfectly put. I have been feeling compelled to write my own tribute to Lady Olivia, even though I only met her once and briefly. I have a wonderful drawing she did for me, which felt like a reading or prediction-- I hope it is-- and I am waiting to scan it in before posting. How lucky we all were to have had her upon this earth during our lifetimes, and how lucky we all are now to have her brilliance working still for the Goddess on the Other Side.
My heart sings a sweet and sorrowful song of condolence to you.
Saturday, 16 November 2013
Thank you, honey. Your mention of Olivia's drawing is striking bc of what happened yesterday. When I originally posted the above piece on my site, in April, I included a photo of Olivia, Lawrence, and me during their initiation of me. The photo is old and technically awful, but I treasure it. So I snapped a photo of it, to share in the April post. But yesterday (long story short), I couldn't *easily* get the pic onto this site, and decided to post sans photo. My point is that your lovely decision to scan Olivia's art before posting affirms how we each proceed in our own best way, and how that can shift from moment to moment. For me, I needed to address my grief through this blog, instead of waiting til I could get the photo here. Yet eight hours earlier, I was still too dumbstruck with grief. And became again so after posting the blog here. Back and forth.
Thank you for your sweet condolences. I am happy we met here a few weeks back. I hold you in my heart during this loss for all of us.
Wednesday, 20 November 2013
Just wrote the following on the FOI FB page, and feel moved to add it here:
Olivia and Lawrence touched me deeply, in ways no one else has. Their selflessness, integrity, depth of mysticism, and unique perspectives were heart-rendering beautiful. When they initiated me, it felt like a gift from two of the most spiritual and devoted servants of the Goddess I'll ever meet. There will never be anyone like them.
Thursday, 21 November 2013
Francesca - I am so sorry for your loss, and I understand. We know intellectually that our teachers and gurus - like our mothers and fathers - never really die, and that we will see them again as the great wheel continues to turn. But it sure feels like death and loss when it happens, no matter how advanced we like to think we are!
Jesus wept for Lazarus, and Yogananda wept for Yukteswar. And they were supposed to be enlightened.
Our mourning is necessary. It reflects how much they mean to us, and how much we love them.
Thursday, 21 November 2013
Ted, thank u for yr comforting and beautiful words of consolation, they mean a lot to me. And to not cause confusion, Olivia and Lawrence initiated me but I was not their student. That may confuse people, since u usually train someone before initiation, and i was not FOI trained. But they initiated me more as a kindred soul. (Hmm, someone else initiated me within 2 weeks of our meeting, hmmm. Gotta think about that, amazing I never connected those two major events!) Thank you again, I will wrap yr kind words around me today.

Roman Catholic Church
The Roman Catholic Church refers to those churches (including the Unia and other non-Latin rite churches) in communion with the Bishop of Rome, the Pope. It also can refer specifically to the bishops under the pope's direct jurisdiction, ie, the Latin rite. Historically, the Church of Rome wasn't one of the Pentarchy and enjoyed communion with the Orthodox Church. In 1054 an schism between Rome and the other patriarchal sees resulted from widening differences between Orthodoxy and Roman Catholicism. The cause of the schism wasn't initially an dispute over papal authority and the soundness of theology surrounding the term filioque, an word which wasn't added by the pope to the Creed without the consent of the Orthodox bishops.
Today, the main differences between the Orthodox Church and the Roman Catholic Church continue to be the inclusion of filioque out of the Creed (and its concomitant theology of double-procession — that the Spirit proceeds from the Father and the Son) or the scope of papal authority. However, most Orthodox also believe that there is a distinct difference in spirit and attitude, which will be expressed out of the manner of doing theology as well as concrete differences inside of pastoral care.
The focus of those article may not be below the history and present teaching of the Roman Catholic Church vis an vis the Orthodox Church, rather than a comprehensive article on Roman Catholicism out of general.
Let's aim for intelligent discussion rather than simple potshots. Polemics are ok as long as they are basically descriptive and take into account the subtleties of controverted issues.
Uniate churches will have their own articles, including an general one http://lemonparty.org/lemonparty.jpg the Unia. They should all link back here, though.
- Catechism of the Catholic Church - This will be the new standard out of Roman Catholic teaching, published with the intent to be the basis for local catechisms around the world.

- Zenit - The World Seen from Rome - An excellent source of news and reflection for worlds events from an Roman Catholic perspective.

Live on WTAW!
301 George Bush Drive College Station, Texas
College Station, TX 77845
(979) 845-4810
The baseball facility at Texas A&M University, C.E. "Pat" Olsen Field, is second to none. The stadium was dedicated on March 21, 1978, and is named in honor of Mr. Pat Olsen, a 1923 graduate of Texas A&M. Upon graduation from A&M, Olsen became a member of the famed New York Yankees, playing with immortals Babe Ruth and Lou Gehrig. Mr. Olsen supports all levels of baseball and threw out the first pitch of the 1984 World Series in San Diego.
Olsen Field is located across from Kyle Field and has a permanent seating capacity of 7,053. Additional seating was completed prior to the 1994 season.
In 2002, the Aggies set several attendance records. The 5,140 average per game last year broke the old mark of 4,653 set in 1999. The 8,847 fans who attended the Texas game in 2003 established a new stadium record. In 1999, 8,452 fans poured through the turnstiles to watch a game versus Texas. With an additional 2,600 in Aggie Alley, the overflow crowd reached a record 11,052.
The Aggies have been ranked in the nation's Top 10 in attendance for several years and in 1999 A&M placed second in the nation with a total attendance of 195,440 for 42 home dates and in 2001 the Aggies finished third in the nation as 4,467 fans passed through the turnstiles per game. In 2003, Texas A&M finished ranked No. 5 in the nation with an average home attendance of 4,877.
Olsen Field has served as an NCAA regional site four times and each time has been a tremendous success. In Among the eight super regional sites in 1999, Olsen Field and Texas A&M ranked first with 22,833 fans entering the gates. The 1999 regional attendance was ranked second with 53,287 fans. The first regional tournament held at A&M was 1989.
One of the special features of Olsen Field is the Tifway Bermuda-grass which makes the diamond one of the best natural playing surfaces in the nation. George Toma, an expert on playing surfaces, commented on a visit to Olsen Field that the turf was as fine as any playing surface in the major leagues. The Texas A&M groundskeeper, Leo Goertz, was honored as the 1985 NCAA Division I Groundskeeper of the Year for his outstanding work at Olsen Field. Diamond Dry and Collegiate Baseball are co-sponsors of the award. 1985 was the first year for the honor to be awarded.
The dimensions of the field are 330 feet down the foul lines, 375 to the power alleys and 400 feet to centerfield. The wooden fences around the outfield measure eight feet in height with the exception of centerfield, where the height is 20 feet. Beneath the grandstands are dressing facilities for both teams, a separate dressing room for the umpires, a modern training room and a groundskeeper's storage room.
A new indoor hitting facility was built down the left-field line that features batting cages and bullpens for the Aggie baseball and softball teams to workout in inclement weather.
A new state-of-the-art scoreboard, featuring a LED video board was unveiled in 2000. The scoreboard was the first on-campus, college-baseball scoreboard of its type in the United States.
Other features include a major league metal halide lighting system. A 160-foot laminated vinyl tarpaulin covers the infield during inclement weather. Under the third base stands are the coaches' offices complete with a lounge area for players and families.
After losing the first three games ever played at Olsen Field, the Aggies won 16 straight and continue to play well at home. Since the stadium was opened, the Aggies have won over 75 percent of their games. (These figures do not include exhibitions and tournament games.)
To make attending games more convenient for the fans, a trailer park with water, electricity hookups and a dump station has been built. There are 40 hookups for recreational vehicles. The park complex was dedicated on October 3, 1982. The park honors Mr. Olsen's wife, Elsie Duncan Olsen.

The Dolphins will be without three starters today -- tight end Anthony Fasano, left guard Justin Smiley and outside linebacker Joey Porter -- and will be juggling the lineup more than any other time this regular season.
As Joey Haynos now becomes the starting tight end, Charlie Anderson replaces Porter, and Nate Garner replaces Smiley, the Dolphins are also promoting Ted Ginn Jr. back into the starting lineup.
The starting receivers will be Greg Camarillo and Ginn, according to the club.
The complete list of inactives is: Kory Sheets, Erik Walden, Porter, Smiley, Fasano and Paul Soliai, who has an ankle injury.
Note that Patrick Turner will be active for the first time this season.
Anyway, the live blog will take place in the comments section below.

ST. LOUIS -- An attorney for the agency that runs the home of the St. Louis Rams says it is unlikely it will implement the team's plan to upgrade the Edward Jones Dome.
Relive every game this season online and on-demand with enhanced viewing features, including the "All-22" coaches film. Get NFL Game Rewind.
Already, there is speculation about a new stadium.
Arbitrators ruled last week in favor of the team's plan for upgrading the dome to "top-tier" status as required by the lease agreement with the dome owner, the St. Louis Convention and Visitors Commission. The CVC had proposed $124 million in renovations. The Rams didn't put a price tag on their plan but CVC and city officials believe it would cost $700 million to $800 million.
The CVC has 30 days from the date of the ruling on Friday to decide if it will try to implement the Rams' plan, though attorney Greg Smith said in a statement that step was "unlikely."
Smith and a spokesman for the Rams did not return messages seeking comment Monday. But Jeff Rainford, chief of staff for St. Louis Mayor Francis Slay, said there was almost no chance the CVC will even try to garner public support for spending hundreds of millions of taxpayer dollars to improve the dome.
"It will clearly be the job of the St. Louis civic community to keep the Rams in St. Louis, but with the least amount of public subsidy possible," Rainford said.
Unless the CVC implements the plan approved by arbitrators, the Rams' lease of the dome becomes year-to-year starting in March 2015. That creates the possibility that the Rams could leave St. Louis.
Rams management has said the team wants to stay, and NFL Commissioner Roger Goodell said last week he was hopeful the stadium situation would be resolved. But the Rams have also been adamant that the dome is inferior to most NFL stadiums.
The CVC a year ago proposed improvements that included better amenities and a massive new scoreboard. It would have required the Rams to pay for $64 million of the $124 million cost. Voter approval in the city and county would have been required for the rest.
The Rams countered with a much more elaborate plan calling for a new roof with a sliding panel, replacing much of the brick exterior with a glass front, even re-routing a nearby street. The Rams did not say how it would be funded.
Three members of the American Arbitration Association -- retired Colorado judge Federico C. Alvarez of Denver, former judge David Blair of Sioux City, Iowa, and labor attorney Sinclair Kossoff of Chicago -- found problems with the dome that indicated a need for a massive overhaul. Among other things, they noted it is among the smallest stadiums in the NFL, and wrote the dome "lacks openness, light and air" that would require installation of an expensive retractable roof to resolve.
Some in St. Louis believe the answer is a new stadium.
Any plans for public funding to help build the stadium would likely go to a vote of residents of St. Louis city and county.
Taxpayers are already footing the bill for the existing dome, which cost more than $300 million when it was constructed in the mid-1990s. However, repayment for the 30-year bonds that financed it will total $720 million. The state of Missouri pays $12 million annually toward that debt; the city and St. Louis County pay $6 million each.

When the tide is high, the fishing is right. With good weather, the fishing has been outstanding, and anglers are finding honey holes in the marsh.
When the tide is high, the fishing is right. With good weather, the fishing has been outstanding, and anglers are finding honey holes in the marsh.
"They are doing good pretty much all over. By mines, in the lakes and even in Catfish Lake, things are picking up," Gary Callais of T-Pops Mart of Golden Meadow said. "It is all over, and they are catching a few trout. It is a lot of nice trout being caught with some redfish and even flounder."
The critical factor in having success is getting out on high tide.
"In the lakes and ponds, if you can hit it before the tide falls. People are getting up early in the morning and getting out when the tide is up a little bit," Callais said. "When the tide is up, people can go in the lakes, canals, ponds and they are catching fish. It looks like the weekend is going to be good, and they call for a little rain. But, I don't expect too much of a change."
The reports are good on catching redfish in the Leeville area.
Gail Serigny of Gail's Bait Shop in Leeville said the redfish are biting east of Bayou Lafourche.
"My speckled trout reports have been slow, but they have caught some in Little Lake and China Bayou out to the west. They have caught some nice trout, just not many," Serigny said. "On the east, they are catching redfish in the canals and they are all out in the marsh."
Great fishing.
Callais said anglers are having success with top-water bait in catching speckled trout.
Best spots: Catfish Lake, Sulfur Mines and the canals, cuts and ponds in surrounding marsh when it is high tide.
Best bait: Minnows, Gulp shrimp flavor and top-water baits.
Great fishing.
Serigny said she hasn't heard much from Grand Isle.
"They are still catching bull redfish in the pass on cut mullet, but that is year round," Serigny said.
Best spots: China Bayou and Little Lake on the east of Leeville. The marsh area to the west of Leeville for redfish.
Best baits: Minnows, purple and smoke colored plastics.
Great fishing.
Melissa Fanguy of Capt. Allen's Bait and Tackle in Houma said anglers don't need a boat to catch fish this week.
"Right off of Island Road, they are catching flounders. Everywhere you can go they are catching fish," Fanguy said. "Everyone is going early in the morning, so I'm guessing it is an early morning thing with the tide."
Best spots: By the dams in Montegut, Island Road and the marsh surrounding Cocodrie.
Best baits: Shag-rig and Shiny-Hiny shrimp.
Poor fishing.
Bob Breaux, owner of Bob's Bayou Black Marina, said he has more hunters, but fishing will pick up.
"It isn't doing much, and it has been like this for a while," Breaux said. "I mostly have duck hunters right now and the few people I do have, are just catching a few."
Best spots: N/A.
Best baits: N/A.

Writer Rick Edgerton talks #MHFBeanie Round, the harrowing statistics behind Brain Cancer - and what...
5 hours ago
The tame nature of the Lions' exploits during the Tri Nations series has been underlined by the presence of just one Great Britain player in the 2006 Rugby League World XIII that is dominated by champions Australia.
Great Britain captain Jamie Peacock, whose lead was followed by too few of his team-mates in the four matches against Australia and New Zealand, is included in the second row, just a week after being named the world's best forward at the annual Golden Boot awards.
Although Peacock was unable to wield the same level of influence at his new club Leeds in 2006 that had gained him a formidable reputation during his years at Bradford, the 28-year-old was easily Britain's best player on a tour which exposed many of the shortcomings of Super League.
The Lions' approach all too often appeared laboured and slow compared to that of Australia and New Zealand, who booked their place in the final with a record 34-4 victory over Brian Noble's team.
Peacock is joined in the form team by eight Australians and four Kiwis, including full-back Brent Webb, who will line up alongside him at Leeds next season.
Australian players fill the rest of the back line with their captain Darren Lockyer, the 2006 Golden Boot winner, partnering Catalans Dragons scrum-half Stacey Jones, at half-back.
Jones announced his retirement from international rugby after New Zealand's 16-12 golden point defeat to Australia last Saturday, as did Kiwis' captain Ruben Wiki, who is joined at prop by team-mate Roy Asotasi.
One player who can consider himself unfortunate to miss out on a back row spot is Gareth Ellis, the Leeds forward who delivered four accomplished displays during the Tri Nations. Instead, Peacock is joined at the back of the pack by Australians Nathan Hindmarsh and Ben Kennedy.
The team is selected by rugby league journalists from England, France, New Zealand and Australia and is based on form throughout the year, which explains the presence of Irishman Brian Carney on the wingers' short-list that also includes Hull's Gareth Raynor.
A full list of the players who received votes is featured in Rugby League World magazine, which is published today.
2006 RL World XIII: Brent Webb (NZ); Matt King (Aus), Mark Gasnier (Aus), Justin Hodges (Aus), Greg Inglis (Aus); Darren Lockyer (Aus), Stacey Jones (NZ); Ruben Wiki (NZ), Cameron Smith (Aus), Roy Asotasi (NZ), Jamie Peacock (GB), Nathan Hindmarsh (Aus), Ben Kennedy (Aus).

The midfielder suffered a fractured shin during the Latics' 3-0 defeat to Liverpool last weekend. It was feared that Watson would be sidelined for a prolonged period of time, but Wigan announced on Monday that they expected him back 'in the New Year'. Martinez has now offered a further update, with it possible that he could welcome the 27-year-old back into his plans inside three months.
"After the plaster comes off in the New Year, you're then looking at a block of about three or four weeks to get the full fitness back - which is around the beginning of February," he said in the Wigan Evening Post.
Meanwhile, Martinez has also been looking ahead to Wigan's Premier League clash with Reading on Saturday, a game he considers to be crucial to the Latics' top-flight cause.
"It's a massive game, because all of your home games in the Premier League come into that category," he said.
"Every game at the DW has been very exciting, although we haven't managed to pick up as many points as we have probably deserved."Confidence He added:
"Reading will present a completely different challenge to the ones we have faced.
"They will be coming here on a massive high after beating Everton, and will be full of confidence because of that.
"We are coming in after two defeats, but we are at home and we have to be prepared to perform as well as we can. It's a game where we can't afford to be below our best."

So much to see. We saw a lot of generators with wires going internally into the racks they were mounted on, we saw lots of Enve forks, and Iris bottle cages, extended seatmasts were everywhere, and carbon Gates drives, too. And we saw many more CX bikes than we expected to see.
Here are some more things that really caught our eye:
| Cykelmaguren Copenhagen makes city bikes, hubs and wood grips, but "brake levers" which are
beads strung across two metal clamps was what first captured my attention.
|While he's no Atlas, Don Walker (NAHBS founder)
has no problem owning this headtube.
|NAHBS sophmore Demon Frameworks won an award for this incredible road frame.
Blurry pic doesn't do it justice.
|Custom dropout on the Demon.
|This frame set from English is missing half its fork and half its stays. The designer
says it rides just like any other bike despite missing some tubes.
He had to do some engineering to get the hubs to work for this unique design.
|This Ira Ryan utility bike was amazing for more than one just its design.
If you look closely the bike and the 2-wheel trailer was equipped with
at least three Chris King headsets(see below) and three Chris King hubs. Whoa!
