via's forthcoming p4x333 scores high marks in tests at tom's hardware. a reference board was tested and it's well on its way to being available. it doesn't quite match the intel i850e with pc1066 rdram, but it comes pretty close. at the same time, it costs less, and offers support for ddr333, usb 2.0, ata/133, and agp 8x. in most of the tests, the p4x333 scores almost exactly the same as the i850e setup with pc800 rdram. the only advantage that intel has is when pc1066 is used. so far, dell and most other manufacturers are only shipping i850e p4 systems with pc800. another interesting via tidbit was highlighted by tech-report: some details on the kt400 chipset. the actual diagram of the chipset mentions only ddr333 (pc2700) and not ddr400 (pc3200) memory. i found that interesting.

|well duh. (6:13pm est wed may 15 2002)
ddr333 is good stuff. ddr400 is even better. kt400, no mem to match. there is a lot of unsupported memory these days. that's a kinda messed up way to market ram, to dangle fast ram with no stable way to use it for months. kinda messed up. does i850 oficialy pc1066? – by front side cannabuss

There is no better way to spend a hot summer day then at the creek. Sure the lake is wonderful too, but can often be taken over by tourist. So my two best friends and I set off to find a secluded area on ward creek where we can drink hard cider, pick flowers and play with our camera's.

Joining up with Lauren at The Little Things We Do for today's post.
As Lauren is getting used to being a new mummy, today's blanks were supplied by Meg of Mr. C & Me.
1. If money wasn't an issue, the first thing I'd cross of my life list is take the time off work to travel to Australia and New Zealand so that I can catch up with friends like Loz and Sheens and meet friends like Ruby and Branden from Sew, Cook, Create! for the first time in person. Also get to see all those places I've seen on the Internet and in films.
2. Ham, cheese and ketchup sandwiches is something I like that other people think is weird.
3. If my life were a movie right now, the title would be "The Blogger" yeah I know so not original then again it could be "The Deep Freeze" – its minus 3 Celsius (30ish Fahrenheit) tonight. It was like minus 6 last night at one point. (Our house is also really cold and I can't work out if that's just me, whether I didn't warm up properly from earlier or if it is actually that cold in here.)
4. Three things I am looking forward to this month are catching up with my girlies from university, hosting the women's breakfast at church (it's my first time and I'm kinda bricking it so prayers would be appreciated!) and and celebrating my cousin's 18th birthday.
5. My favorite song to sing in the shower is it really depends what I'm listening to at the time. So at the moment it's Hallelujah I Love Her So or Crazy Arms by Hugh Laurie. (I am absolutely loving his album at the moment. In fact as I write this post it's playing.)
6. If I found out that the production of Milky bar White Chocolate or Milky Way bars was ending this month, I'd go out and buy as much as I could tomorrow.
7. One thing I'll never grow tired of is music. It's always changing and being rewritten or tweaked. As long as there is live music I'll be a happy chicken lol.

Kurt Vile - "Feel My Pain"
On November 19, Kurt Vile is following one of the best LP's of the year, Walkin In A Pretty Daze, with a seven-track EP called It's a big world out there (and i am scared). The songs from the EP may technically be outtakes, but listen to "Feel My Pain" and you won't find anything less than vital from our current master of rambling, dreamy psych rock. Give it a listen below:
Vile included some liner notes for the track:
This track was recorded during the first cluster of sessions at Dreamland Studios, May 2012. (same sessions that conjured up most of album opener "wakin on a pretty day" I should add!) "Feel My Pain" is a particularly meticulous guitar composition that i remember playing over and over back when writing it and then even more so when i had finished it, sort-of possessed. We added a lot to this later only to strip it back again favoring the raw to the chamber-pop this go 'round. Spectral arrangement and a mellow-ominous delivery (if such a thing is possible)…
KV- gtrs/vox RL- bass engineered by John Agnello mixed by Rob Laakso produced by KV & RL
The EP will be sold on its own, but if you haven't copped Vile's 2013 LP, they'll be bundled together as Post Haze on November 19.
It's a big world out there (and i am scared) Tracklist:
A1. Never Run Away (string synth)
A2. NRA Reprise
A3. Feel My Pain
B1. Snowflakes Extended
B2. Wedding Budz
B3. The Ghost of Freddie Roach
B4. (reprise reprise)

If director Taika Waititi was a breakfast food, actor Cate Blanchett would eat him every morning. At least, that's the surprising revelation she's made concerning her time spent with the filmmaker on the set of Marvel's upcoming Phase 3 adventure Thor: Ragnarok. In a recent interview, the Oscar-winner had nothing but praise for her Marvel team, while sharing a bit of behind-the-scenes intel.
As you probably know, Cate Blanchett has joined the Marvel movie universe, playing the villainous Hela in Thor 3 opposite Chris Hemsworth as the God of Thunder and Mark Ruffalo as the green goliath otherwise commonly referred to as The Hulk. Ragnarok is in its final weeks of filming. And it's possible that Blanchett has already wrapped her role, though she has not confirmed that.
In a recent interview with Mark Ruffalo, the actor described his co-star as 'the worst of the worst' in terms of what she is bringing to the character of Hela (don't worry, he meant it as a compliment). Speaking with Entertainment Weekly, Cate Blanchett reveals that she did not actually work much with Mark Ruffalo, who wrapped the movie early playing Hulk mostly as a motion capture character. About the worst of the worst comment, she questions his compliment.
Did he say that? Well, he's the greenest of the green! I didn't get to work so much with Mark, unfortunately. But I did get to work with Chris [Hemsworth] and talk about delightful! He's just absolutely fabulous. The whole thing was just a riot and fantastic fun. Did you see [director] Taika Waititi's film, Hunt for the Wilderpeople? Or, What We Do in the Shadows? He's just got such a sure hand. He's wonderful, I'd eat him for breakfast if I could. He's absolutely delicious. And he's irreverent which is great because Marvel, at its best, has its tongue firmly in its cheek."
Mark Ruffalo apparently didn't spend a lot of time with any of the cast members, only occasionally shooting with his leading man Chris Hemsworth against green screen on an Australian soundstage. But the rest of the cast appeared on set together, and Cate Blanchett has nothing but good things to say about that experience. Especially working with Thor himself, Chris Hemsworth.
"He is a big guy! But, you know, you get on the Avengers/Marvel bandwagon - they're making so many of these behemoths at once - he doesn't have any time to sort of get chubby. I do love Chris in these movies - he has that really playful side of him that he gets to truck out.
So far, we have yet to see Cate Blanchett in her full Hela costume. Recent rumors (WARNING: SPOILER!) claim that some of the Thor characters will return this November in the Doctor Strange post-credit sequence. Though, Hela is not one of them. Thor Ragnarok is one of three new Marvel movies hitting theaters in 2017. Guardians of the Galaxy Vol. 2 arrives first on May 5, followed by Spider-Man: Homecoming on July 7, then Thor 3 on November 3. Doctor Strange will be in theaters this November, with its November 4 release date just a few weeks away.

Every profession has it's frustrations. And sometimes you just feel like giving up on humanity. Teachers are no exception to life's aggravations.
Reddit user Cubbysablo asked "Teachers of Reddit, what is something a student of yours has said that made you think 'wow, there is no hope left for you?". Within 9 days over 15,000 responses were received. Here are some of the most shocking.

"I don't need to do any of this shit, Mrs. A. I go to jail next week for stealing a car."
Checked up on him five years later, and he was in jail for slamming his gf into the concrete, paralyzing her.

Spent 15 minutes on a math lesson, do examples. hand out worksheet, do one ON the worksheet with them. He asked: "So you just want us to fill this in with random numbers?" Speechless.

"I want to be a drug dealer, but the cool kind. You know, the ones that wear a suit and carry a briefcase." He was 17 at the time and completely serious. He was expelled a month later for jumping another student.

My wife told me this story about a time she was lecturing a kid on why he should try to do well in school. She asked him what he wanted to be when he grows up... his response "I want to be in jail. That's where my dad and uncle is." She had no response. Probably the only time in her career that she was left speechless by a student.
I teach high school math/geometry. One of my students said "Why do we even need math? All I care about is money." His classmates proceeded to laugh.

I teach 1st year US law students. More than you would care to believe, they don't know America has 3 branches of government, much less what the branches do.

I had a first grader throw chairs and desks at me for about a week (after 2 months of horrific behavior that the parents and administration ignored), one hard enough to injure my knee, before I finally had enough video evidence for the principal to get involved. He (student) refused to speak to me at all. Eventually my co teaching partner got him to explain why he was doing it. "I just don't like him."
I feel bad for the kid. He has serious emotional problems. I don't know if I'd say there is no hope left, because 1st grade is pretty young to write someone off. I hope he gets treatment.

I used to teach science in a public high school. Had to convince a sophomore that trees came from seeds... blew his mind.
John Lund / Getty Images
A girl (8th Grade) told me she wanted to have kids (2-3) by the time she was 18 so she could have the energy to keep up with them and then be an exotic dancer to support them.
I had one 4 year old who couldn't hold a pencil. He couldn't remember how to pick it up, and didn't have the strength to push it down hard enough on the paper to get any leverage. He couldn't color, had no motor skills whatsoever. He didn't have a dominant hand. His parents liked to leave him at my learning center for an hour, even though he couldn't use the bathroom on his own. He was 4 years old and didn't have the slightest grasp of the alphabet, and couldn't retain anything we taught him. It took a month to get him to count to 10.
My theory on all this is, on top of a learning disability/developmental delay his mom was in denial of, he was a natural lefty who was forced to use his right hand but, because of the disability, couldn't, and ended up not developing any motor skills in either hand. Poor kid.
Not a teacher but worked at a school for awhile. Had a 4th grader say that he didn't need school because he was going to have a wife and she would do everything. Same student while disrupting the entire class also said "what are you going to do? I know you can't hit me."

"I ain't doin any of that sh*t. My mom already said she's signing the papers [to dropout] as soon as I turn 16."
I taught lower elementary. Most teachers will get frustrated at some point by how hard it can be to get a child who may be lacking upstairs some extra help. This was the case with one of my favorite students. It didn't matter that he couldn't do any of the work that his peers were doing, due to his incredibly low IQ, he was performing "at his ability level." But he was just SO NICE to everyone.
I had set aside time every day to help him with his reading. We were using the short story of the ugly duckling. It had one short sentence on each page and after two weeks, he could get though it with minimal help. However, reading the words isn't all there is to reading. I had asked him if he could tell me what the story was about since we had spent time on it every day for the last two weeks. He starts his oral retelling off great and I'm super excited. This is a HUGE deal for my man because up until this point, I couldn't get any retell or comprehension out of him. I'm super pumped and he is feeding off my energy and he's so proud of himself. This kid is glowing.
We are only 3/4 through the story though. We come up to the end of the Ugly Ducking and he's telling me that the duckling CHANGES (this word took is forever to say, much less read!) But then he stops. And goes into this deep think stage. I prod him a little bit- "He changes? What does he change into bud?" He brings his eyes back from the ceiling and then with the biggest smile, he shouts out "A butterfly!"

My wife had a student in 3rd grade who refused to do any writing assignments. My wife told him that she was going to call his parents to explain to them what was going on if he didn't start doing his work. He said, "I don't care. My mom said I don't have to do anything I don't want to do. Rules don't apply to me." My wife called his mom and his mom told my wife that she (meaning my wife) just has to understand how her son is and if he doesn't want to do the work, then he doesn't have to. His behaviors all made sense after that and it was a very tough year. He stopped doing all work and started harassing other kids (probably partially due to boredom since he was doing nothing else by the end of the year). As long as he was happy, my wife couldn't get the mom on board.

University professor here. A student last term never purchased the text book (and thus never did his homework), sat in the back and spaced out all class, failed one exam, and barely passed the other. He came to me during the final week of class to ask me if he could do all of his missed assignments and then asked why I didn't remind him to do them. Bro, this is university. I'm not chasing after you.
I had one who stopped coming to class for the last 6 weeks of semester, and instead of writing the essay on the exam, wrote a 2 page rant about how "unfair" it was of me to base the exam on stuff that happened in class. Also in the rant, complaints about how I had not called her to remind her to do assignments, come to class and find out what was on the exam.

There's a young boy who can be very sweet and is an adorable blonde butterball. However he has pretty severe behaviors and gets restrained at some point on a daily basis. I saw his parents one day because they live in government subsidized housing close by and walk him to school. It was 50 degrees out and the little boy was in a basketball jersey and shorts. His parents looked exactly how I expected them to look and were rude to all the staff they interacted with. It just showed me that no matter how much we do, he spends most of his life with his shitty parents.

I had a student say, "I don't need to learn any of this, I won't use it in real life". When I tried to explain why math was going to be useful, he responded, "you're a dumba**, watch me get rich without even going to school." I mean sure it's been done but probably not the best idea.
"Are we ever going to use this as an adult?"
"You won't, but some of the smart kids will."

I teach Computer Science in university. I get alot of freshmen that plucked the major because they heard it was a high paying major, but don't actually like the subject.
But the worst was a recent student that asked if they could just do the assignments by hand. They didn't want to use a computer, they didn't really like using them. "People use computers too much, I don't start doing that." Also thought computers could do too much, and wanted people to stop using them. Brah, this is a programming course. For computers. In a major about making computers do things. You are gonna need to use a computer.
Needless to say, I told them this wasn't probably the major for them...

I had one student at a bilingual school in Mexico, who after being at this school and supposedly learning English for 5+ years, still couldn't speak it and barely tried to make any effort to learn anything. Didn't do assignments and failed almost every test. When we mentioned it to her parents, their attitude was that she doesn't really need it because she will just marry someone who will take care of everything for her. My thought was, "Who would want to marry someone who doesn't know anything and makes no effort?"
Adam Hester / Getty Images
I asked my students what they could have done to better prepare themselves for their exam. One responded with "you should have told me to revise better". The revision sheets and "this is reallyyyyyy important" wasn't enough apparently...

A new generation of Chinese leaders is poised to enter positions at central and local levels throughout China in the Party, Military, and Government. Two main Chinese political coalitions (also called cliques "bang" in Chinese) has been dominating the political landscape over the last ten years and effectively sharing power within the CCP Central Committee. The newer coalition which appears to be in control is the Chinese Communist Youth League (CCYL) or Tuanpai-led Populist Coalition. The other coalition is the Shanghai Bang-led Elitist Coalition. These two coalitions represent a balance of power that forms the basis of the CCP consensual decision-and policy-making in China today under China's Fourth Generation leadership headed by Hu Jintao and Wen Jiabao. China's Fifth Generation leadership comprises these people born in the 1950s and early 1960s (50-60 years old today). They are also called the First Generation of Republic, as they were born after the founding of the PRC in 1949. They were sent down to work in the country side as youths during the Cultural Revolution and many of whom entered university only after the 1977-78 reopening of China's universities where they did part-time work study programs for higher level post graduate degrees. Fifth Generation leaders have a higher level of education-29 of the Fifth Generation leadership rising stars have higher education in law and politics (13 of 29-45%) , economics and management (8 of 29-30%), humanities (4 of 29-14%) and engineering (4 of 29 14%). In contrast, within the current Fourth Generation leadership, an engineering education was the standard (18 of 24-75%) of the current Politburo members and 9 of 9-100% of current Politburo Standing Committee members are engineers. This means Fifth Generation leaders have had more exposure to western thought via higher education and frequent trips abroad than the current Fourth Generation leaders. It also means that they can be expected to be more critical of western ideas, given their better capacity to analyze and make independent judgments about complex issues. This does not mean that they would be more supportive of western ideas – they are often more critical of them. China remains a one party state primarily focused on maintaining domestic stability while transitioning the Chinese Communist Party (CCP) from a revolutionary to a ruling party. Any intra-party policy differences within the CCP focus on mainly methodology and timing of how to achieve this goal.The political agenda of the current Fourth Generation leadership is driven by Hu Jintao's 'Harmonious Socialist Society' which is focused on reforms aiming to achieve greater social cohesion after the 6th Plenum of the 16th Party Congress (held in October 2006). This policy direction is different from the Third Generation leadership's political agenda which was driven by Jiang Zemin's 'Spiritual Society' which focused on achieving higher standards of living via rapid coastal-driven economic growth. This new policy direction mean that there will be more emphasis on the Rule by Law and legal rights under the Fifth Generation leaders including greater protection of property rights (including intellectual property rights), stricter enforcement of anti-corruption rules, more consumer protection. This socio-political focus also means that under the Fifth Generation we can expect stronger participation and support from core CCP units such as the PLA and the Women Federation. This new priority on dealing with socio-political issues also means that instead of foreign direct investment and foreign business interest groups, the Fifth Generation leaders will be more focused on farmers, migrant workers, welfare/social security issues and heading off increased domestic social unrest. The Fifth Generation leaders will also continue China's increased engagement with international diplomatic relations and related issues that impact China's energy and raw materials access, environment and security. A key milestone in China's transition from the Fourth Generation leadership to the emerging Fifth Generation will be whether Hu Jintao and his Populist Coalition will be able to anoint one or more Generation successor (s)-among them are Li Keqiang, Li Yuanchao and Liu Yandong. The current most thought successor Vice-president Xi Jinping is only the result of a compromise between the two cliques and might not represent entirely the interest of Hu Jinto. Now called the Five Year Program instead of the Five Year Plan the Fourth Generation economic agenda is focused on indicative and strategic rather than hard targets to hit at all costs. During the aftermath of the 17th Congress, Hu Jintao and Wen Jiabao will continue pushing forward with sustainable scientific development of the economy and with a more socio-political, people-centric focus. The Fourth Generation Hu-Wen sustainable economic growth model will include better pollution controls and energy efficiency versus the Third Generation Jiang Zemin and Zhu Rongji obsession with higher economic and GDP growth at any social cost and export/trade-driven surpluses that created international tensions with USA/EU. Economic policy emphasis will be more on inland rural/agricultural advancement concentrating on the successful completion the Land Reform and the stimulation of domestic demand especially in inland regions versus excessive focus on coastal economic growth with urban construction, foreign investment and foreign trade. Within the current Fourth and emerging Fifth Generation leadership, a feeling has become prevalent that China has not truly benefited as much as it should have from the last 20 years of unprecedented export and GDP growth. This has led the current leadership to conclude that China has become too dependent on external trade which relies on foreign markets and international business dominated by foreign companies. This view has also led to increased economic nationalism and the emergence of competition policy targeting foreign companies in China. Current Fourth Generation economic hot buttons include: • Increasing focus on quality of growth, not just GDP growth for its own sake• Increasing emphasis on innovation, brands making Chinese companies world leaders• Harmonious society/balanced development/attempts to reduce social pressures as the focus shifts to dichotomy between haves and have nots• Increased focus on sustainability both in a 'get the resources' sense and in terms of the environmental cost of growth• Real attempts to back up regional development initiatives• Rural, agricultural development, abolition of agricultural taxes, increase in farm incomes to reduce urban rural split. Emphasis given on the welfare of the farmers (particularly around a new National Social Security) and stronger urbanization drive• People centric policy and reform focus, not as Darwinian as before If the Populist Coalition continues to dominate CCP policy formulation and is able to appoint its own Fifth Generation successors, this means that what we can expect from the rising Fifth Generation leadership in terms of their economic agenda will be: • More of same focus on people –centric socio-political reform with an even greater redistribution tendency• Potential to reign in advanced mainly coastal regions out of regional jealousies• Potential to make life very difficult for foreign companies• Potential to meet WTO commitments, but just• Likely to enforce more effectively anti-graft measures• Since most Fifth Generation leader rising stares are found today in major provinces and cities, they will still need to show progress and do deals while toeing the current CCP policy line Given that most intra-CCP political jockeying is non-transparent to nearly all outsiders, the key will be that foreign business must begin to track key people with the Fourth and Fifth Generation to monitor developments. As Fourth Generation leadership emphasis shifts to a more balanced economic agenda, this means there will be less high-level CCP interest in export/trade and linked foreign direct investment (FDI) and more emphasis on rural/inland regional development and a shift towards less but higher quality foreign investment (e.g., higher-level technological transfer). This will also mean less interest among and more barriers to accessing top CCP leadership in connection with foreign investment and foreign business related issues. The goal is to move China towards a consumption based economic growth model. There will be greater emphasis on the Rule by law and its enforcement in terms of property right (IPR) and anti-corruption will be good for foreign business in China. There will also be more laws related to protecting China's domestic groups and their interests such as Chinese companies and Chinese consumers from dominant western/foreign companies active in China for example the new anti monopoly and unionization laws-which will increase the complexity for foreign companies active in China. Assuming we see a continuation of power sharing within the leadership of the CCP, this means that we can expect the following from the emerging Fifth Generation in terms of global business: • Less emphasis on FDI and foreign trade, more economic protectionism and competition policy• Harder to see top CCP leaders and less accessibility to them on investment and trade related issues• But they still have to keep the economy growing and domestic firms cannot do all the leadership wants done so leaders are still going to have to be pragmatic• OPPORTUNITY is in helping the leadership meet their goals in key areas: technology, branding, "higher quality" growth, internationalization of Chinese companies, resources, energy, energy efficiency, modern services• OPPORTUNITY in serving new secondary, inland cities and new markets created by urbanization and improved infrastructure• POTENTIAL to meet likely fifth Generation leaders in their local jobs before they get elevated therefore increased short term need to meet them before they get into the top spots• POTENTIAL to help them meet their local goals with win-win propositions

Your Online ClubhouseJeff Atwood May 20, 2013
I've gotten in the habit of explaining Discourse to people as a clubhouse. A place on the Internet that belongs exclusively to you and your friends — whether you have 10 friends or a few hundred thousand.
There's a big difference between a Facebook Group and having your own clubhouse. A Facebook Group is like the Teen Paranormal Romance section of Barnes & Noble. It's just a specialty area within Facebook that ultimately belongs to Facebook.
A Facebook Group doesn't really belong to you. It belongs to the store it is a part of, and you can visit all you like during business hours as long as you don't disturb the other customers, and maybe buy something every once in a while.
But when you build your own space with forum software, it truly does belong to you. You get your clubhouse, built exactly the way you and your friends wanted, with whatever rules and norms your community deems appropriate.
I was fascinated to read exactly this metaphor in Mehan Jayasuriya's NYU master's thesis Online, Underground: The Untold Story of the Original Social Media Revolution (pdf).
I came of age in Racine, Wisconsin, a rust-belt town of roughly 70,000 people that had once been a regional manufacturing hub. By the time I was a teenager, in the late 1990s, the town had fallen on hard times, its downtown filled with empty storefronts and boarded-up windows. Like most American teenagers who grow up outside of major urban areas, my friends and I spent our free time bored out of our skulls, aimlessly wandering a landscape that had little to offer us in the way of culture.
That all changed when we discovered punk rock, an art form that seemed to give voice to our suburban frustration, angst and boredom. It helped that punk culture was accessible to us in nearly every way: the music was easy to play, the CDs were affordably priced (unlike the major-label releases sold at the local mall), the shows were inclusive and cheap to attend. Soon, we were playing in punk bands, buying records via mail order and sneaking out to attend shows. There was just one problem: in order to do most of this, we had to drive to Milwaukee, the closest midsize city. Live music, to the extent that it could be said to exist in Racine, was the exclusive domain of adults, something that happened in the back rooms of a handful of dank bars. Why couldn't we have an all-ages arts space in Racine, one that could serve as the locus of our budding punk community?
There were, of course, a number of reasons why such a thing didn't exist. Luckily, being teenagers, none of us had the good sense to assess the practicality of our idea. Soon, a couple of enterprising friends had pooled together a few hundred dollars and found a landlord willing to rent a vacant downtown storefront to a group of minors. The Tokyo-A-Go-Go was born.
I can still recall the shared sense of excitement we felt once the bare-bones space — essentially, a concrete-walled room outfitted with a cheap PA system — was up and running. Racine bands finally had a place to play in their own hometown and local kids finally had a place to hang out, hand out flyers and political tracts and discuss the unimportant matters of the day. Best of all, it was a space that members of our community had built without any outside help and subsequently, one where we all felt a collective sense of ownership. The venue's coronation came when some touring bands from out of state scheduled a stop in Racine to play at the venue. Surely, this was a sign that we had built something of lasting value.
Of course, we hadn't. As you might already have guessed, the Tokyo-A-Go-Go didn't last very long. If I remember correctly, it was gone in a matter of weeks. To this day, there are conflicting reports about what finally did in the venue. Some say that a building inspector showed up and demanded that the place be shut down immediately. Others pinpoint the night that a kid accidentally pushed a friend through the room's front window as the moment the experiment ended (despite their initial fundraising success, the kids who ran the club were, apparently, unable to raise enough money to repair the window).
Whatever the reason for its demise, the Tokyo-A-Go-Go taught us all a valuable lesson. If the cost of building something is low enough and the benefits of building it are great enough, you can simply build it yourself. This is, of course, the equation that so many bored kids who came before had arrived at, the "do it yourself†or "DIY†ethos on which punk culture was built. It doesn't matter how small or how niche your community is — if that community wants its own space badly enough, it will find a way build it. Of course, this is easier done in places like Racine, Wisconsin where the transaction costs of setting up shop are low and the benefits, in providing a home to a community that lacks one, are high.
I was reminded of this lesson a few years later when I started spending a lot of time on online messageboards. This was the early 2000s, when it was becoming increasingly easy to find vibrant online communities dedicated to seemingly any topic. Such messageboards provided me with virtual spaces not unlike the Tokyo-AGo-Go, places where like-minded people would congregate to discuss shared interests. However, unlike the Tokyo-A-Go-Go, messageboards allowed me to connect with people in other small towns or even big cities, to gauge what was considered cool in other parts of the country or world, to feel as if I was a part of a much larger community. It was like stepping into a stadium-sized version of the Tokyo-A-Go-Go, one that was populated by people from all around the globe.
I honestly go in expecting the worst from a lot of dry, academic studies but this one is unusually genuine and heartfelt. If you liked the above excerpt, download the PDF and give it a deeper read.
Mehan's history of the online messageboard captures a lot of what I love about the Discourse project, and underscores our effort to ensure that these amazing communities have great 100% free open source forum software to rely on — now and forever.
This could be related to the whole hackerspace movement. I love the whole idea of pitching up a "you-space", even more so when there's a goal involved. That's also why I love discourse.
It's funny, today I was talking to a few friends about how guilds will work in a game we're working on, and we considered giving every guild a forum as their kind of meeting ground, and the idea really played to this.
I raised the question about preserving communities on quora but it didn't get any answers. Discourse may be the solution. However, if someone else is hosting it and they want to shut it down, can the community be sure that they can get at the content?
This is the problem I currently have. To use @codinghorror's analogy…My current clubhouse is being guarded by a troll that will come and knock it down if I stop paying him.
I'm not sure if this is an answer to what you're saying, but that could usually be solved by building your own servers. Apparently it's not super expensive, and if you're willing to have friends pitch in for a public space, pitching in for a server and some supplies should be cake! If someone can't afford to host it themselves any more (for some reason), there are always places to go. (payed hosting, "the cloud" if you will, moving the server to a friend's house)
Though I'd hope that most legit hosts (ones that cater to personal projects, anyway) would "freeze" your account, and allow you to reactivate it once you have paid up to date.
Another thing, and one that I hope the Discourse team considers when they move toward providing hosting solutions, is the case of someone who has started a discourse-powered forum using the paid hosting solutions, who later wants to move to self hosting. (for whatever reason) Hopefully, there will be a reasonably easy migration path to move to a new server.
I've been running off the back of a popular hosted forum, without mentioning the specific host…It's also used by the likes of Netflix, Mozilla and Webtrends. All I can say is they must have a ton of VC cash to advertise everywhere as the actual framework behind it is terrible… It's mostly window dressing. Anyway I digress…If I stop paying this host (USD 1,200 p.a.) they will flick the switch and dump my forum into the recycle bin, which is fine, that's the deal!
Since finding Discourse, I'm ready to write off the collective wisdom in those several thousand posts and start again. It will be painful but I hate paying all that money for a sub-standard system, an army of customer support drones and glacial rates of change.

1. What makes a real community, a real Sangha?
In the Pasadika Sutta in the Pali Cannon the Buddha expresses his pleasure that his disciples are proficient in the true Dharma, and that among the sangha there are experienced, trained and skilled teachers who are liberated and able to proclaim the Dharma and refute wrong ways, that there are middle ranking disciples who are experienced and trained, that there are novices and lay followers, that there are males and females, celibate and non-celibate. In this way the perfect life flourishes. It is clear from this passage that Buddha drew huge satisfaction from the existence of this community that he had brought together. This was his boast. He had created a wholesome community; one in which there would not be major quarrelling or trouble and which had a capacity to be of benefit to people far and wide. We would be mistaken to think that the Buddhist path is something just for individuals or that the Buddha would have been satisfied with a situation where each individual had their practice that they got on with in their own way in their own space. He certainly did tailor his injunctions to the needs and temperament of individuals, but the life that he led them toward was one in which there was a whole and wholesome community with all its constituent parts playing their respective roles, each complementing the others.
The word "community" is on everyone's lips, but the reality is that we are living in a vast marketplace, where everyone is a consumer, but no one is a neighbor. Every day we are bombarded with goods gone ballistic and services turned sadistic. Even in the best of neighborhoods, we are afraid to go out at night. Is it any wonder that, when we go home at night, we try to draw the night about us like a cocoon? How to form a community, then, is not a rhetorical question. It is the most urgent issue before us... There is a new wind blowing in the world, and it whispers to us that the time for community has come. We are frightened by this wind, for sometimes its whisper becomes a scream. The wind can be as loud as a hurricane and as penetrating as a tornado. We run for shelter to what used to be our communities, only to find that the rooms that once kept us safe are now only walls that keep us apart from each other. We keep looking for the larger world. We want the larger world to take us in, and keep us warm, and make us safe. We want the world to be our community. We want it to be real. Well, why not? It is not too much to ask, really. We are learning how to overcome our own fears and how to find our own faiths. We are learning how to listen to each other. This is the only way to build community, and this is where we start.
[Nationalism] is imagined because the members of even the smallest nation will never know most of their fellow-members... yet in the minds of each lives the image of their communion... This fraternity... makes it possible... for so many millions of people, not so much to kill, as willingly to die for such limited imaginings."
2. What's lacking in an "imagined community"?

One of the great advantages of being an educational establishment or a student is access to Microsoft Imagine and Software from DreamSpark.
Today there is a huge desire for students to learn and build applications for as many platforms as possible.
As educators and students you need to learn and embrace modern way of doing cross-platform mobile development.
Todays studios and agencies can no longer afford or simply recruit and retain dedicated teams on all different platforms (Android, iOS, Windows).
So the question I have is are you teaching or learning with Visual Studio 2015? If the answer is No.. here are some reasons to upgrade now!
Getting Started with Cross Platform development
If you're teaching, learning web development with CSS, HTML, JavaScript or Typescript you can target Windows, Android, and iOS devices by using Visual Studio Tools for Apache Cordova.
Getting Started
- Install the Visual Studio Tools for Apache Cordova. available via www.dreamspark.com
- Getting Started with Visual Studio Tools for Apache
Cordova (MSDN Library)
- Connect your Cordova app to a Microsoft Azure cloud backend (MSDN Blogs)
- Learn about the Visual Studio Emulator for Android (VisualStudio.com)
You can also build a native application for Android or Windows devices with C++ templates
- Install the Visual C++ for Cross-Platform Mobile Development tools. (MSDN Library)
- Learn more about using C++ to target multiple platforms. (VisualStudio.com)
- Install what you need, and then create a native activity application for Android (MSDN Library)
- Learn about the Visual Studio Emulator for Android (VisualStudio.com)
You can build native apps for Android and iOS by using C# and the Xamarin framework Apps not only look the way the end user expects; they behave that way too. Xamarin apps leverage platform-specific hardware acceleration, and are compiled for native performance. This can't be achieved with solutions that interpret code at runtime.
- Learn about Xamarin in Visual Studio (VisualStudio.com) Xamarin is free for all students via www.dreamspark.com
- Learn about Xamarin (Xamarin
- Install Xamarin (Xamarin
- Connect your Android
or IOS app to a Microsoft cloud backend (Azure.com)
- Learn about the
Visual Studio Emulator for Android (VisualStudio.com)
Visual Studio Online
Visual Studio Online (VSO) is the cloud-hosted toolset to organize, build, test, deploy and report on your software project.
Again Visual Studio Online is free to all students via www.dreamspark.com at https://www.dreamspark.com/Product/Product.aspx?productid=99
Why use source control from Visual Studio
Cross platform / all languages
You can write code in Java or any other language using any IDE and fully leverage the capabilities of Visual Studio Online
Git/Github is great but will not support you enough
You can keep your code in Git/Github and use Visual Studio Online for all the other processes. GitHub is great with some nice features like collaborative code review but you have the same capabilities in VSO (if not better like the team management) with a fundamental difference: traceability and predictability
Traceability is the foundation
VSO will connect the dots between the requirements, the project management, the source code, the versions, the defects and the tests. VSO (or TFS for the on premise version) is by far the best (if not the only) candidate to support any organization looking to regroup all the important project artefacts in one place.
By using VSO today, you will get a full traceability on what is happening in your project starting from any angle (requirements, project, code, defect, test…)
Move to Predictability by controlling the quality
Quality is not a "phase" or a "campaign" in the project cycle, it's something that is diffused from requirements (bad alignment), project management (wrong estimation or no control on the team capacity), code (bad quality), test (not enough or wrong functional and performance tests) or defect (no prioritization)
Tests are the best way to reveal the quality but they will not increase it. It's the combination of early tests, process (tests at the right time, get insights back to the developer, review practice, automate part of the testing effort) and coverage (code, architecture, functional, performance, mobile scenario ….) that will validate if the task closed was done the right way. To "trust" what you are tracking, you need to validate them with tests.
Visual Studio Online will offer you a platform to track each part of the project, integrated them, set practices and process, manage/run/automate tests and also deploy the solution (with a full release management capability)
Check the links below for more information and start using VSO today for your projects.
Continuous integration with Microsoft Azure's Java services (hosted build controller with pre-installed Ant and Maven libraries)
Access and manage your Visual Studio Online projects using Team Explorer Everywhere—an Eclipse plugin
Leverage the best Agile toolset
Monitor the usage of your solution with Application Insights
Cloud based load testing with VSO

HARTFORD — Ridership fluctuated on the first workday morning for the CTfastrak busway as workers hurried to fix small defects and bump up efficiency.
Most comments from passengers were positive, and many rush hour buses — especially on the 102 route — appeared at least half full. For most of the day, though, there simply weren't enough riders for the steady procession of buses.
CTfastrak officials, who've been cautioning for the past year that building ridership will take time, said they were more than happy with Monday's turnout and generally strong reviews.
"The breadth and scope of people we're seeing is tremendous," said state transportation Commissioner James Redeker, who chatted with commuters on buses and greeted others at the New Britain and Flatbush Avenue stations.
"Sixty percent of ridership is from word of mouth — people tell their friends they had a good trip, and more people try it," Redeker said.
At midday Redeker held a conference call with CTfastrak managers and engineers to press for faster progress on some of the high-tech amenities, such as digital "next bus arriving" signs at each platform and the automated onboard announcements of each station and its connecting routes.
By afternoon, many signs at the New Britain station were functioning. In the field, supervisors were reminding drivers to activate the GPS-style bus trackers. Evidently many drivers on the 102 route left the trackers off; the "next bus arriving" system couldn't monitor them, so buses arrived at stations with no warning.
On Monday morning, at least 30 people picked up the 7:45 bus from New Britain to Hartford, with riders boarding at all but two of the 11 stations.
But less than an hour later, a reporter was the only person waiting for a Hartford-bound bus at Newington's Cedar Street station. It carried just nine riders, including John McNamara, who was on his way to work at Capital Community College.
"I'm going to use it as much as I can," McNamara said. "I think if you have ever driven I-84 at 4:30 or 5 at night, sitting there, you are wasting your time."
McNamara predicted CTfastrak will get more popular, saying, "I think it's going to take awhile to change steady habits, but I think people will eventually catch on."
James Cooke, one of two people who boarded at the Elmwood station, said he was riding just to try see what CTfastrak is like.
"It's free," he said, but added that he'll probably keep using the service after free rides end Sunday night.
The Flatbush Avenue stop in West Hartford was quiet for much of the morning, but several commuters trickled through on their way to work.
Frank Luongo, 29, an underwriter, walked to the station to catch a bus to his job at Aetna. The commute would normally take 10 to 12 minutes, he said. At seven minutes per ride, Luongo predicted the bus could save him some time in the morning, especially when there's heavy traffic on the highway.
A bus leaving Signorney Street for New Britain at 9:26 a.m. carried just three riders, and it passed through four stations without picking up more. At Newington Junction, two people boarded, including student Nellie Samuels of Hartford, who was on her way to Central Connecticut State University.
Asked if she liked CTfastrak, she replied: "I have to see. It's the first time."
CCSU students on the busway can catch a shuttle bus that runs between CCSU and the Cedar Street and East Street stations, making stops along Paul Manafort Drive, Stanley Street and Ella Grasso Boulevard. The shuttle runs every 15 minutes at weekday peak hours, and less frequently on off-peak times and weekends.
David Lee, CT Transit's general manager, said drivers are still perfecting the technique of quickly edging their buses up to the raised, subway-style platforms at the stations.
In a Courant-sponsored "race" between a car and a Route 101 bus that both left the New Britain station at 7:45 a.m., the bus finished second. The car went through rush hour traffic on Route 9 and I-84, and reached Travelers in Hartford about 6 minutes ahead of the bus.
Part of that appeared to be from the bus driver slowing well before each station and gingerly approaching the platform. She also rarely took the bus above 35 mph, even though the busway has some mile-long open stretches with a 45 mph limit.
At the several signal-controlled intersections along the busway, many drivers slow even though they have green lights. They're being cautious about the chance of a motorist going through a red light; CTfastrak reported a minor collision between a bus and car late Sunday night at the East Main Street crossing in New Britain. Nobody was hurt and the bus sustained only cosmetic damage, Redeker said.
The 101 route uses new NovaBus LFX diesel-electric hybrids, which are designed more for efficiency than speed. They're 62 feet bumper-to-bumper, 102 inches wide and — fully loaded — weigh in at more than 55,000 pounds. Even so, some drivers glide them up to platforms quickly and get up to speed soon after departing; others are still more tentative.
Redeker and Lee predicted CTfastrak's trip will be faster if the race is repeated in a couple of months.
Despite arriving later, the bus rider had benefits that the car driver missed out on: Free time to check email, make calls, read a paper or catch up on game scores, all courtesy of CTfastrak's free Wi-Fi.
During the afternoon rush hour Monday, an outbound 101 bus arrived at Union Station mostly empty at 4:05. But several young West Hartford skateboarders hopped on after a visit to the Heaven Skate Park downtown and were impressed.
"I like it way more than the regular bus," said Sergio Rodriguez. "It's spacious, comfortable and obviously much faster."
Some late afternoon buses bunched up, with the front one fairly full and the trailing one nearly empty. About 4 p.m. in West Hartford, a 102 bus destined for Bristol after New Britain looked to be standing room only. Soon after, a 101 rolled by with only a few seats taken.

As if first-time home buyers were not having enough trouble getting into the market, now they have to contend with rising interest rates.
After dipping to record lows earlier this year, rates on fixed-rate mortgages have risen considerably in recent months. Though still low by historical standards, the increased rates create yet another hurdle for first-time buyers already contending with higher home prices and tight credit. First-timers typically account for around 40 percent of home purchases, but as of May their share had dwindled to 28 percent, according to a National Association of Realtors report.
The upsurge in rates has breathed new life into adjustable-rate mortgages, or ARMs, which contributed to the housing-market collapse by trapping borrowers in loans they could not afford. The renewed appeal of ARMs lies in the teaser rates offered in the opening years of the loan. The initial rate on a five-year adjustable-rate mortgage, for example, ranged from 3 percent to 3.5 percent as of last week, depending on the lender, while 30-year fixed rates were closer to 4.5 percent.
ARMs can be a smart option for borrowers, under certain circumstances and with a thorough understanding of the terms. Buyers must be prepared for what could happen to their monthly payment once that alluring teaser rate expires.
"People tend to look at what's cheapest," said Marc Schwaber, a New York City-based mortgage professional. "But that ARM rate that starts in the threes could eventually end up in the nines."
Here are some pros and cons to consider when deciding between a fixed- and an adjustable-rate mortgage.
Fixed-Rate Mortgage
This is your grandfather's mortgage, the financing vehicle created after the Great Depression to make homeownership accessible to the average working American. A 30-year term is still the most common.
One of the chief benefits of the fixed-rate loan is its predictability. Because the interest rate is fixed for the life of the loan, the borrower's monthly payment for principal and interest will be the same in Year 20 as in Year 1. (The total payment, though, will fluctuate because of changes in property taxes and insurance, which are usually paid incrementally as part of the monthly mortgage.)
"You should be in a fixed-rate loan if you're on a fixed salary, you plan to stay in the house a long time, or you don't want the risk of an ARM," said Peter Grabel, a senior mortgage loan originator at Luxury Mortgage, in Stamford, Conn.
The trade-off for stability is a long period of paying interest, with the amount of interest declining over time as your principal balance declines. And equity is slow to accumulate on a 30-year loan, because the borrower pays much more interest than principal in the early years. Opting for a 15-year term, which carries a lower interest rate, can alleviate those disadvantages. But, of course, the shorter term means a significantly higher monthly payment.
A fixed-rate loan does not make good financial sense for those who are able to take advantage of the lower ARM rates, Mr. Grabel said. Among his examples for ARM candidates are borrowers likely to get a big raise or inheritance in the near future, those with enough assets to pay off the mortgage if they had to, and those who plan to move within 10 years.
"You're paying a premium for a 30-year fixed," he said. "It's the safest, but it's like, how much life insurance would you buy?"
Adjustable-Rate Mortgage
Adjustable loans, which are usually amortized over a 30-year term, carry greater risk for the borrower, because the rate may rise after an initial period of fixed interest. Lenders offer various options for the length of that initial period, with 3, 5, 7 and 10 years being the most common. Rates are lower on the shorter ARMs, but "most people want the longest ARM these days as it's the next best thing to a 30-year fixed," Mr. Grabel said.
After that initial period ends, the rate adjusts periodically based on an index like the Cost of Funds Index, or Cofi, or the London interbank offered rate, known as Libor. Lenders set the new rate by taking the index rate and adding a few percentage points, called the margin. So as the index rises or falls, so does your payment.
Mr. Schwaber advises borrowers to find out which index applies to the ARM they are interested in, and then do some quick Internet research to look at how it has performed in the past. HSH.com tracks the performance of a variety of ARM indexes.
A standard, or hybrid, ARM adjusts annually. These loans are usually expressed as 3/1 or 5/1 ARMs, in which the first number represents the years of fixed interest, and the second stands for how often the rate can adjust after that. So, for a 5/1 ARM with a loan amount of $300,000 and an initial rate of 3 percent, the payment for the first five years would be $1,265. In the sixth year, the rate would adjust according to the index and margin. Assuming the rate rose by 2 percent, to 5 percent, the new payment for that year would be $1,559.
Still, the length of time between rate changes may be longer or shorter, depending on the loan, so borrowers should ask about the time frame. Another key consideration is the lifetime cap on the loan. This is the maximum percentage by which the interest rate can increase over the duration of the loan. For example, if the initial fixed rate is 3.5 percent, and the lifetime cap on the loan is six percentage points, then the interest on that loan can never rise above 9.5 percent.
"Consumers need to think about how frequently the interest rate can change, and the maximum amount it can change," said T. J. Freeborn, a mortgage professional with Discover Home Loans. "They need to think, if the rate goes up X amount, can I still afford that monthly payment? You need a good relationship with your mortgage banker, so there aren't surprises down the path about what your reset period will look like."
Using an ARM can save the borrower thousands in interest payments during the teaser period, because the rate is lower than that of a fixed-rate product. And for the most qualified buyers, ARM rates on jumbo loans, or loans above $417,000, are even lower than rates on conforming loans.
According to Mr. Grabel's calculations, on a $417,000 loan, a seven-year ARM with an initial rate of 3.625 percent would save the borrower more than $20,000 in the first 10 years compared with a 30-year loan at a rate of 4.375 percent.
His estimate assumes, however, that the initial ARM rate stays the same in Years 8, 9 and 10. And given that ARM indexes, too, are at historic lows, that may be an overly optimistic assumption going forward.
"People have to understand that when you have low interest rates, the only way to go is up," said Donald Frommeyer, the president of the National Association of Mortgage Brokers. "So those payments could change." Refinancing might be an option, but if interest rates are up significantly, a new mortgage might not provide much relief. Borrowers who are not in a position to take that risk should stick with fixed-rate products. And, as Mr. Frommeyer pointed out, if the days of fixed rates in the threes are over, a fixed rate around 4.5 percent is still "a pretty great rate for a house" — especially compared with the double-digit interest rates of the 1980s.

A survey of used tyres – often called part worn tyres – has shown that many are potentially dangerous. TyreSafe (a not-for-profit organisation) carried out a study which involved the purchase of 50 random part worn tyres from retailers across the UK. It found that 98 per cent were being sold illegally as they did not meet current requirements, but more seriously, over a third of the tyres were found to contain potentially dangerous forms of damage or non-compliance.
"Despite clear legislation it would appear from our investigation that the sale of illegal part worn tyres is a very real problem and needs to be tackled head on by Trading Standards as a matter of urgency. Those who sell illegal part worn tyres need to be educated and stopped as it really it could be a matter of life and death," said Stuart Jackson, chairman, TyreSafe. One tyre in its investigation was described as having the "potential to kill" as it still contained a metal object penetrating 5cm through the tread in a manner which was likely to result in sudden and total tyre failure had it been fitted to a vehicle. Other serious safety breaches included dangerous and unsafe repairs, exposed cords, bead damage and evidence of runflat damage. TyreSafe says that, last year, there were more than 1,200 road casualties where illegal, defective or under-inflated tyres were a contributory factor." Source: AOL
TyreSafe's latest investigation (2018) has highlighted that part-worn tyres are increasingly problematic on Britain's roads. In 2018, 99% of tyre retailers were found selling illegal and dangerous tyres.

A pawn loan from Oro Express Chandler Pawn and Gold is the fastest way to get the cash you need. At Oro Express Chandler we don't require a credit or background check. All you need is a valid government-issued ID and an item of value for collateral.
A pawn or "collateral loan" is a 90-day cash loan. You simply bring in an item of value. We appraise your item and offer you a fair price. Our loan terms are simple: You can pay back your loan at any time during the first 90 days along with the interest due.
If you choose, at the end of the 90-day term, you may choose to pay only the interest due and renew the loan, or you may choose to let your loan default. If you choose to default, we keep and resell your collateral. One major benefit of pawn loans is that you will never receive any collection calls.
We're the best pawn shop in the Valley and we offer you the highest cash value for your collateral!
What Can You Use For Collateral?
We can give you a loan on anything of value that you own.

The entirety of your pawn loan is based on whatever electronics, cell phone, laptops, jewelry, gold, silver, coins you end up bringing us. The interest rates and anything associated with it are also based on this meaning that as long as you have something of value, then you can get a fair amount of money that you need.

We Also Buy All Items As Well!
A pawn shop isn't just about getting short term loans, but perhaps unloading extra items that have just been sitting in a closet, or that you've recently replaced. Just bought a new laptop? Sell your old electronics to Oro Express Chandler Pawn and Gold. Pair of gold earrings you haven't worn in eight years? SELL THEM! Anything that we'll give a pawn loan on, we'll definitely buy from you. We sometimes can even offer higher prices for buying things like gold and silver, so it's nice to explore those options as well. We pride ourselves in our immense flexibility offering our customers in Chandler, Gilbert, or Queen Creek multiple options to get financial aid.

Protecting your Child from Identity Theft
We have heard about Identity theft happening to adults, but parents need to be aware it could also happen to children. Children are prime targets because their information is readily available when it is stored within a school system. In addition, almost no one monitors a child's credit report so it could be years before the problem is even detected. There are many ways that a child's identity could be compromised. For example, it could happen from a large data breach, it...Read More »
