Embedded Computer for Space Applications suitable for Linux
This report briefly describes the special requirements for a computer board for use in space. In particular, component selection and ways of mitigating the soft and hard errors are discussed.
Furthermore, one implementation for a low-cost, relatively high performance computer that will work in the harsh space environment is presented. The report is primarily intended for those familiar with digital design, who need an introduction to construction of space or other high-reliability hardware.
As the quality (resolution) of imagers, spectrometers and other data sources in scientific satellite payloads is increasing, there is also an increasing demand for more processing power in order to compress or in other way process the data before transmitting it on the limited bandwidth microwave downlink to Earth.
Scientific instruments are usually mission specific and have rather low budget, so there is a need for a powerful computer board that can be used for a number of missions in order to keep the engineering costs down.

By a unanimous vote, the 17 members of an FDA advisory committee voted in mid-October against an expanded indication for rasagiline, saying it found no compelling evidence that the drug delays progression of Parkinson disease.
The first serious effort to establish that a drug for any neurodegenerative disorder can modify the course of that disease appears to have failed.
By a unanimous vote, the 17 members of an FDA advisory committee voted in mid-October against an expanded indication for rasagiline, saying it found no compelling evidence that the drug delays progression of Parkinson disease (PD).
But in comments to Neurology Today, two of the neurologists on the committee, as well as four other physicians familiar with its decision, expressed varying views on whether the problem was with the evidence or with the drug itself.
"This would have been the first drug approved as 'disease modifying' for any condition in neurology," said the acting chair of the committee, Nathan B. Fountain, MD, professor of neurology at the University of Virginia in Charlottesville. "We certainly don't want to miss a drug that has even a small disease-modifying benefit, but most members of the committee thought the data presented just didn't have sufficient power to demonstrate a difference if one exists."
He added, however, "I've been on several FDA advisory committees, and the data presented here were by far the most complex."
The complexity of the data on rasagiline, sold under the trade name Azilect by Teva Pharmaceuticals, could be seen in the 172-page package of studies and analysis presented to the Peripheral and Central Nervous System Drugs Advisory Committee in advance of its Oct. 17 meeting.
At the center of the debate was the ADAGIO (Attenuation of Disease Progression with Azilect Given Once-Daily) trial data. Published in the New England Journal of Medicine in 2009, the double blind 18-month trial involved 1,176 people with untreated Parkinson disease.
Rather than employ a straightforward placebo vs. active-agent design, the trial pioneered one meant to disentangle a merely symptomatic benefit from one that actually slows the progression of the disease over time. In an attempt to discern such a benefit, ADAGIO used a so-called "delayed start" design, in which half of the participants start the drug from day one and the other half are put on placebo. Halfway through the trial, however, the placebo group is switched to the active agent. If the drug is truly disease modifying, the theory goes, those who started on placebo should never catch up to those who started on the drug once both are put on active therapy; the benefits of beginning the drug earlier should persist.
While a significant benefit was seen for those who started early on the 1 mg dose, none was seen for those who started early on the 2 mg dose, for reasons that have never been adequately explained. That discordance is what led FDA statisticians to conclude, in analyses submitted to the committee, that the case had not been made for rasagiline being disease modifying. Some advisory committee members agreed with that statistical assessment.
An earlier smaller trial, TEMPO (The rasagiline in Early Monotherapy for Parkinson's disease Outpatients) was not designed to show a disease-modifying benefit, but offered hints that one might be present, which led researchers to mount ADAGIO.
One member of the FDA advisory committee told Neurology Today that the drug might in fact be disease modifying, but that the evidence presented simply wasn't strong enough to convince him or other members.
"I do prescribe this medication a lot because it's safe, it's well tolerated, and it does improve symptoms," said Samuel Frank, MD, associate professor of neurology at Boston University. "But I don't think the evidence presented at the meeting confirmed that it's disease modifying. There was a mixed signal that it may slow the progression. We just don't know for sure."
Although not on the committee, a neurologist who specializes in the treatment of PD said its vote was not surprising. "There's really little or no evidence that rasagiline is disease modifying or neuroprotective," said William J. Weiner, MD, professor and chair of neurology at the University of Maryland School of Medicine and director of the Maryland Parkinson's Disease and Movement Disorders Center. Dr. Weiner is also a member of the Neurology Today editorial advisory board.
While agreeing that the evidence was not strong enough to warrant an expanded indication, the principal investigator of ADAGIO expressed disappointment at the committee's unanimous negative vote.
"I think it's more likely than not that rasagiline does have disease-modifying effects and slows clinical progression," said C. Warren Olanow, MD, professor and chairman emeritus of neurology at the Mount Sinai School of Medicine in New York City. "Given that the 2 mg dose didn't work, the panel had no other choice but to vote no. But from my point of view, I still think that rasagiline is the closest we have come to a disease-modifying drug to date."
Dr. Olanow added: "I'm worried this decision will deter research and investment into finding a disease-modifying treatment for Parkinson's. I think the statisticians at the FDA are asking for a perfect study, and I don't think it's going to be possible to deliver a perfect study. This was the most rigorous study we've ever had in this area, by far. Who is going to be willing to do another trial like this?"
A former director of the FDA Division of Neuro-Pharmacological Drug Products agreed that ADAGIO came close to proving the case for rasagiline being disease modifying — just not close enough.
"Just because a jury doesn't feel there's enough evidence to convict a criminal doesn't mean he didn't do it," said Paul Leber, MD, who first proposed the "delayed start" design in a 1996 paper, and who now serves as an industry consultant based in Rockville, MD. "The 1 mg evidence was pretty good. The problem was the 2 mg result just didn't jibe with it. The jury didn't have much choice."
Despite the negative vote, the director of the Parkinson's Disease and Movement Disorders Program at the Henry Ford Hospital in West Bloomfield, Michigan, expressed confidence that other ongoing efforts will find a treatment that significantly delays the progression of the disease.
"A good biomarker, as a surrogate of the disease process, might offer a way to track disease progress better than clinical indices," said Peter LeWitt, MD. But, he added, "In all likelihood, an effective neuroprotective treatment would be obvious in a typical clinical trial regardless of availability of a good biomarker."
On the question of a Parkinson biomarker, Dr. Olanow commented, "A biomarker would be great, but we don't have one and it may be decades before we do. Indeed, it may be easier to prove neuroprotection than to prove that something is a valid biomarker, which leaves us back in the same conundrum."
To rise out of the statistical haze that has enveloped rasagiline, Dr. Fountain said, "The ideal solution would be to have a very potent drug with a quick onset of action. The problem is we don't have any drugs for Parkinson's where we see a huge effect quickly. Even if you had only a mild or moderate effect on disease progression, you might still be able to support that with validated biomarkers."
Dr. Weiner offered another possible route toward finding disease-modifying drugs. "I really think that Parkinson's is not a single disease; it's a clinical syndrome," Dr. Weiner said. "I think there will turn out to be many different causes for development of the phenotype of Parkinson's. The future of trials is we're going to divide out the genetic variations and test drugs for specific subgroups."

Party In The Park
The Nuns Moor Park four-day circus spectacular is finishing on a high today, with a grand Party In The Park.
Gates open at noon for this family-friendly event to which all are welcome. It continues the big top carnival theme started on Thursday, with a number of circus skills workshops which can be joined up to during the day. The day rounds up at 4pm.
According to the Met Office, the weather should be mainly sunny, with an occasional light shower perhaps. Temperatures are set to reach a comfortably warm 16˚C.
There will be live music from local talent and rising star, Kema Kay (of I, Daniel Blake fame). There will also be performances from a number of other local artists, including Kay Greyson, Rex Regis, Provident Band, Zombie Killers and the magnificent SHE Choir.
For the children, there will sports and games, organised by local charitable company Hat-Trick. There will be kite-making workshops, facepainting, balance bikes and a forest school. Craft stalls, food-growing sessions, free plants and 'upcycling' workshops will also be on offer. If you end up getting a little hungry with all that activity, the park's outdoor pizza oven will be serving fresh food throughout the day.
Entry is free. Children must be accompanied adults.
There will be an official Greening Wingrove photographer at the event, so check back here tomorrow to have a look at some of the pictures. A Photo Gallery from the last Nuns Moor Park Spring Event is still available on this website and can be viewed here.
The event has been organised by Greening Wingrove, with the help of scores of local volunteers from Arthur's Hill, Fenham and Wingrove areas of the city. Local charities, CHAT Trust and Time Exchange have been centrally involved and the event has been supported by the Workers Educational Association (WEA), Lottery Fund and Newcastle City Council.

|300 year anniversary of the Defense of Vienna
against the Turks
Some years ago, I went to Spain and had a fabulous time in Andalusia, looking at the historical site where the Muslim world had its heyday. I ran into two students from the Bellas Artes in Granada who were delighted to show me around and got an insider's tour of Alhambra and other fascinating places. One of them had a very poetic nature. "Antes que vinieron los católicos…" he kept saying. "Before the Catholics came…" A very romantic view of happy days gone by. "You would knock on the door and a servant would open it to you and say, 'What do you require?' You would say 'a meal and a place to sleep,' and they would say, 'Come in and take a bath and I will call you when the evening meal is ready.'
"Then the Catholics came," he continued. "They chased the Muslims out, and taught us it was bad to take a bath because we would have to get naked first. The Muslims are all gone now, and the Catholics have taught us to stink."
I'll always remember Granada, not just for the Alhambra, but for that phrase, "it was the Catholics who taught us to stink." The guy wasn't just a clueless romantic. He was a gay man and had it in for the Catholic Church and its claim to be a moral leader, a sine qua non of morality, when in fact it is the source of a vicious mindset which for centuries has caused grief for women and gay people. Its power has greatly receded in the past few decades, at least in Europe and America, and one can be grateful for that.
I remember another chance meeting, years before that one in Granada. I was a student in Munich and had hitchhiked to Vienna – I had no money in those days, but Europe was a wonderful place for students. At the youth hostel where I was staying was an old man in his 80s who hung around and offered his services to anybody who would buy him lunch. Today he would probably be labeled a suspicious character. Then, he was seen as a marvelous source of historical information. Several of us at the hostel pooled our spare change and he walked with us around Vienna with the same mindset as the art student from Granada. "Back then, there were heros in the land." Only his heros were not Muslims who compared favorably with los católicos, but the other way around. It was the power of the Church that held out against the Ottoman Army. It was in Vienna, he declared proudly, where the Ottoman Empire began its decline. For over a century, beginning in 1529, the Ottomans had tried to extend their control over Europe. They were defeated, finally, in 1683 at the Battle of Kahlenberg, when the Christians joined forces for the first time, the Holy Roman Empire and the Polish/Lithuanian Holy League, against the Turks. And Europe was free. Or so the narrative goes from the Christian European perspective.
And now we're living in the Brave New World where some speak of a new "Clash of Civilizations" between Christians and Muslims, and others, including me, reject that framing of what's going on and insist it's a clash between those who think and those who surrender to a religious ideology and fanatics who claim to speak for God. I've been blogging lately about the struggle over how to frame Islam. Is it a religion (and is religion a good thing?) that is being warped and twisted for nefarious purposes? Or is it an ideology of the bronze age which we have failed to recognize for its potential to do great harm? And if you take the latter stance, you have to ask what exactly happened to Christianity and Judaism, both of which are grounded in the same – or very similar – ideologies?
In that interview Hamed Abdel-Samad had with Peter Huemer in Vienna which I translated there is a moment when Hamed makes reference to the fact that right there in Vienna there is a "Center for Interreligious and Intercultural Dialogue." Its full name is the "King Abdullah Bin Abdulaziz International Center for Interreligious and Intercultural Dialogue." I didn't pay much attention at the time to what Hamed said about it, but in this morning's Independent, there is an article on the center which reveals that the Austrian government is having second thoughts about having established the center.
Hamed commented in that interview:
We are sitting here in Austria in this wonderful center for international dialogue built with money from King Abdullah – interreligious dialogue! – and we get all excited when IS cuts off the heads of people. How many of you know that in the last weeks when we were occupied with the beheadings by the IS that Saudi Arabia beheaded nineteen people? You don't know that. Or only a very few of you. Do you know that my friend Raif Badawi, a very nice blogger, was sentenced to ten years imprisonment and a thousand lashes of the whip and a fine of 260,000 euros because he blogged something critical about Islam? And we sit here, with representatives of the Saudi government and have "interreligious dialogues." How nice! How nice!
According to the Independent article, "(a) government-commissioned report demanded the centre's 'withdrawal from Vienna' unless it starts criticising the Saudi government."
I wonder what that guide at the Youth Hostel back in 1961 would say of this brave new world's very different kind of interaction between religious organizations going on in Vienna today.
Katha Pollitt has a sardonic article on King Abdullah – "Why I Heart King Abdullah" in the most recent Nation (February 23, 2015). She starts off by citing Joint Chiefs of Staff General Dempsey who trained Abdullah's troops and found the king to be "a man of remarkable character and courage." He's not alone. David Cameron loved his "commitment to 'peace and prosperity.'" John Kerry called him "a man of wisdom and vision." Barack Obama had a "genuine and warm friendship" with the man. Realpoliticians all. Even Christine Lagarde, head of the IMF, is quoted as saying, "He was a great leader, and in a discreet way, was a strong advocate of women…"
What incredible bullshit. What total unimaginable bullshit. All to keep the international order in tact. The oil money managed. The balance of power against Iran, and now ISIS.
Who am I to argue those smart people who run the world should not make alliances that serve long-term interests of the United States? As they see them, that is. They do call the shots, in any case, those people who launched a war in Iraq and set civilization (and the American economy) back a decade or more. But, as Katha Pollitt - and Hamed Abdel-Samad - point out, there is a cost. Pollitt mentions the case of the imam who raped and murdered his five-year-old daughter because he thought she wasn't a virgin. Got five months in prison. And the religious police who forced schoolgirls back into a burning building to die because they were not properly covered as they fled. Got off scot free.
So the realpolitik of supporting fundamentalist Islam has its costs. The Saudis don't call it fundamentalist Islam; they call it "true" Islam and they call themselves the keepers of the sacred sites of Mecca and Medina. We don't have any control over what they call it, but we can at least be clear in our thinking about what we call it. Sometimes you have to choose the lesser evil, you say?
Like when you choose to let religion off the hook for death and destruction in the name of the Lord?
Nothing more than a reasonable cost of doing business?
Sure thing.

Imran Awan Asks Judge to Remove GPS Claiming 'Emergency With Kids' – In Pakistan! (VIDEO)
Debbie Wasserman Schultz's former IT staffer, Imran Awan was arraigned in federal court Friday on four felony fraud charges.
He appeared with three attorneys including Chris Gowen, a former close aide to Hillary and Bill Clinton, The Daily Caller reports.
Investigative reporter for The Daily Caller, Luke Rosiak broke the story about the Awan brothers several months ago. Since then, he has written well over a dozen reports documenting their various scams and illegal activities. Awan was arrested at Dulles airport trying to flee to Pakistan.
The Daily Caller reported that Imran Awan wired $283,000 from Congressional Federal Credit Union in a House office building to two people in Pakistan. Awan and his wife were also carrying $12,000 at the time of the arrest.
Former Chairwoman of the DNC, Debbie Wasserman Schultz is knee-deep in this scandal. She threatened the chief of the U.S. Capitol Police with 'consequences' for holding equipment that she says belongs to her in order to build a criminal case against Imran Awan.
Questions have also surfaced regarding Awan's attorney.
One of the first questions is how can the Awan brother afford his attorney? Already reported was Awan's financial duress. If he was in poor financial condition who is paying his attorney? His attorney is Chris Gowan who is a high-powered Clinton attorney.
Fox News' Jesse Watters even asked, "Now why is a Clinton attorney getting involved, representing a low-level IT Staffer for the House Democrats? Doesn't make a lot of sense."
Now Awan's attorney is asking for his client's GPS monitor to be removed so he can travel to Pakistan!
Daily Caller's Rosiak reported:
Gowen asked that Imran Awan's GPS monitoring bracelet be removed, citing that Imran might need to attend to an emergency with his children. In a press conference outside court, Gowen admitted that the children are in Pakistan and refused to explain the discrepancy.
Prosecutors opposed the motion strongly, saying Imran is a severe flight risk who made a massive and deliberate effort to send hundreds of thousands of dollars to Pakistan before trying to board a flight to the country. The FBI arrested him at the airport. They said his wife is already in Pakistan and that authorities are sure she has no intention to return.

Twenty-five years ago this month, a new jazz club in St. Paul's Bandana Square took a financial risk by booking its first "name" artist, pianist McCoy Tyner.
So it was fitting that Tyner returned Wednesday night to help the Dakota, now well-established as a cherished jazz venue in downtown Minneapolis, celebrate its 25th anniversary.
Although he's based on the East Coast, Tyner has a couple of other local connections: His current drummer is longtime Twin Cities resident Eric Kamau Gravatt, back to being a full-time musician after retiring from his job as a guard at the Lino Lakes state prison.
And the combo's bassist, Gerald Cannon, is married to a former Dakota employee.
At this stage of his career, Tyner — who turns 72 on Saturday — isn't expanding his repertoire; his early show at the Dakota consisted of tunes he's played many times before.
Tyner opened the set with two samba-based compositions he wrote and recorded back in the 1970s: "Fly With the Wind" and "Walk Spirit, Talk Spirit." Saxophonist Gary Bartz, a longtime collaborator who is a special guest on this tour, blew some John Coltrane-style polytones as he voiced the latter tune's melody.
Tyner's health may be fragile, judging by his somewhat labored gait walking onstage and hoarseness of his voice in his between-songs remarks. But he's still a powerful pianist. His trademark percussive piano sound is still instantly recognizable.
One reason for Tyner's distinctive keyboard attack is his hands; they are the size of an NBA center's. He'll often raise his left hand six inches or more from the keyboard before striking a chord, exploiting the piano's resonant qualities. He also makes liberal use of the piano's sustain pedal, which also helps fill out the sound.
The pianist showed his gentler side with his lyrical composition "Ballad for Aisha," which featured Bartz on soprano sax.
Tyner, who first rose to fame as the young pianist in Coltrane's groundbreaking 1960s groups, recalled his iconic mentor with a driving rendition of Trane's bebop standard "Moment's Notice."
Then it was Duke Ellington's "In A Mellow Tone," propelled by Cannon's perfect walking bass line and Gravatt's impeccably swinging touch on the cymbals.
Tyner and his quartet play again at the Dakota at 7 and 9:30 tonight.

After the OpenDocument Format (ODF) Plug-in mentioned in my previous post (Oracle starts to monetize Free Software, is it wrong?), here goes Solaris.
Oracle has changed the Solaris (aka. Sun Solaris [not OpenSolaris]) terms of use to reflect the Oracles policy of monetizing and generating more revenue from Sun applications by changing service models.
According to the Sun Solaris 10 license as it was offered back in 2005:
Obtaining an Entitlement Document is simple. On the Solaris 10 Get It page, select the platform and format you desire from the drop-down menus, and then click the Download Solaris 10 button.

While my Halloween decor taste has always leaned far closure to fall harvest than haunted house, I still love to do something a special and a little different each year to make my apartment feel more festive. After making glitter pumpkins last year, I wanted to do something equally glam and obviously gold leaf pumpkins seemed like the best option. It was quick and easy, and to be honest, required less cleanup than the glitter pumpkins. And while I chose to decorate a real pumpkin, this could easily be done with a fake one and used year after year.
You'll need a pumpkin, or any object really, gold leaf spray adhesive, gold leaf, and a brush.
1. Protect your work surface with newspaper and spray your clean pumpkin, holding the adhesive about eight inches from the surface. Wait two minutes for the glue to become tacky.
2. Use wax paper to pick up the gold leaf and press onto the surface.
3. Using your brush, press the gold leaf onto the pumpkin until the entire surface is covered. Don't worry about any creases or overlaps, this will only add to the look.
4. Allow the glue to dry for 24-hours and then brush off excess gold leaf with the brush.
5. Kick back, relax, and decorate!

No, the title is not what you think. I know, Aerosmith is playing in your head right now, right? This is just a little story about the sweet innocence of a child. The Faith of a child. The belief of a child.
I have had the privilege to work at the school that my little one attends. This is our last year together. It has been one of my joys! We come in together, I see her at lunch every day and sometimes we eat together. I get to go by her classroom for special events. We leave at the end of the day together. I will miss her so much when she moves to the intermediate school next year.
At our little school we have two floors, which allows for a small elevator. Granted it only goes two floors, but Addison loves it. She loves taking the elevator everyday upstairs to leave. I on the other hand would rather walk the stairs, it just seems faster. When we ride it I pretend that I can do magic and make the door open and close, Addison hates it when I do this. I love to aggravate her. The other day, thou, she decided that we will never ride the elevator again! We got stuck. This is another reason why I don't care for this particular elevator. I usually don't mind them, but this one does have a tendency to get stuck. Well at 4:30 in the afternoon was one of those times. We get in, Addie presses the '2" button and it goes up, but I didn't feel it catch to stop. The arrow keeps blinking. I look at Addie and I wait. Patiently I press the "DOOR OPEN" button. Nothing. Calmly I press it again. Nothing. VERY Calmly I press it again. NOTHING. Addison looks at me and says "why isn't the door opening?" I am trying not to panic. After all it is after hours. No one is in the front office. ASP is open (I am the director and it was time for me to leave for the day) but my cellphone is out of range in the elevator. I said , "Well Addison, I believe we are stuck" She looked scared. "Mommy I am scared" I told her it was okay, but I am starting to get a Little ill. "Addison, this is why I don't like taking the elevator!" but I am really getting worried. I was already suppose to be at the high school to get Brady. Addie says " there is a phone right there" I press the help button and it alerts the elevator operator. But it takes two tries to do this. Finally someone answers and she tells me that someone will be there soon. Addison says' Mommy I am so scared!!" I tell her it is okay , it will be okay. She then looks at me and says "Can we pray?" Yes I tell her, pray, you go ahead a pray" She closes her eyes and out loud with out hesitation she starts "Dear Lord, please help us get out of this elevator, we are stuck, please be with us an help get us out of here very.... " as she is praying the door opens. Jesus came right on time. I knew it would be okay, but I was so thankful for this small little lesson with my Little one. Jesus does answer prayers. They might not always be how we want them, but he does answer. She just looked at me and smiled. What a life lesson. When in doubt, or times of fear, pray, Pray loud, without ceasing. Pray, no holds barred. He will answer.
I let her know how proud I was of her faith. I also let her know that her prayers also will not always be answered that fast :)
"Then some children were brought to Him so that He might lay His hands on them and pray; and the disciples rebuked them. But Jesus said, "Let the children alone, and do not hinder them from coming to Me; for the kingdom of heaven belongs to such as these." After laying His hands on them, He departed from there. Matthew 19:13-15

If a bear craps in the woods…
Today was my last day of vacation. {insert sigh} My quasi plan was to re-introduce routine and
drag my ass rise out bed before the sun, then caffeinate, finish my food prep for the week, put together the DIY I've been working on, restore order to my house and create in my little space here in the interwebs before shutting my eyes again. The Beast on the other hand? She had different plans.
Every day for almost two full weeks Ms. Lois has been spoiled with long hikes in the woods behind us and she looooooooves it. I've enjoyed it as much as she has. We don't leash her as she's pretty good to stay within semi-view; that is until she sees a deer. You can then expect her return anywhere from 8 and 28 minutes later as she attempts to herd it.
Hubs was actually home yesterday and did the late afternoon/evening walk. She burst for the path like Usain Bolt out of his starting blocks, happy to be free. She buried her head in the snow and zoomed by with sticks that were more like saplings ripped from the frozen earth. Shortly after their return the head shaking began.
{queue allergy attack}
Allergic reactions aren't anything new to us. We've been doing our best to manage her food and seasonal allergies with our vet since adopting her almost a year ago. However it wasn't long before she was going berserk. Like crawling out of her skin crazy. She was up and down the stairs; crying to get outside then barking to get back in. This was a whole new level of attack for us.
At 10:00 pm we gave her a 2nd dose of Benadryl. Around midnight she fell asleep on my side of the bed – head on my pillow – for 12 minutes. I caught a few winks between head shakes, scratching and gnawing. Finally around 4:00 am – and let`s be clear: this chick does not do 4 am unless she`s getting on a plane headed for the Carribbean – I loaded the dishwasher. Figured I might as well have been somewhat productive if we were going to be up.
It wasn't long after that I shone the flashlight in hubs face somewhat by accident – and by sort of I mean fully intentionally – looking for her ear drops. He then got up to take a shift to scratch and sooth Ms. Lois. We were all given some relief when she finally fell alseep.
A couple of hours later we sipped caffeine over the soft sounds of a paw furiously waving up and down behind an ear. We recounted the steps from the day before to try to figure out what trigged the worst allergic reaction to date. And then it hit us: bear crap.
The Beast had devoured a good ole pile of bear sh*t that was next to the trail. Unfortunately we have all been paying for it for more than 24 hours now as sicky sickerson has been tormented by her feast of feces à ours.
It's just after 8:00 pm and for the first time today she is sleeping…on my side of the bed. I'm off to take the toothpicks prying my eyes open out so they can close, on hubs' side of the bed of course. Like I'm going to disturb her. He can sleep in the doghouse. Don't worry, he's used to it.
Moral? You don't have to hear a bear crap in the woods to know it smells. The Beast's breath says it all.0

Review: Midnight Movie (2008)
Since the wifey was going to bed early tonight, I decided that I was overdue for a horror movie. Considering that I have a ton on DVR that I haven't watched yet, it was a tough decision on exactly what to watch. In the end, I chose Midnight Movie. I can't say I regret it but I'm not exactly thrilled by it.
The premise sounds neat enough. A bunch of people come to a theater to watch a cult horror film and end up getting picked off one by one by the killer from the movie. The execution is a little lacking in places and it leads to an uneven film. The main part is shot competently enough, but the movie within a movie was rather terrible. I'm not saying they needed to make a classic, but when you're watching something that's supposed to be from 1968-ish and in B&W, you should at least put a little effort into the filters. Converting a film to black and white and putting some scratches on it does not authenticity make. They could have fiddled for about 5 minutes in FCP and done better if they tried. Honestly.
The cast is likable enough and do a good job, though there are the usual stereotypes found throughout it like the asshole, the final girl with a secret, the burly tough who has a good heart, a little fucking kid. You know the drill. You get to know most of them and care a little bit when they get killed and you find yourself rooting for them against the killer, who has a cool mask, kinda like Leslie Vernon in a way, but a shitty weapon, which looks like a metal ice cream cone. In the end, it doesn't matter, as there isn't really an ending. What leads up to a third act doesn't really pay off and you're left wondering what happened to everyone. I know it was semi-magical and I didn't need to know exactly how the film comes to life, but I do want a little sense that I didn't just waste a half an hour, which is what I'm kinda feeling.
If you can catch it on tv, I'd say give it a whirl, but prepare to be disappointed in the end. The rest of it was worth it but the ending just killed me. Maybe they're just waiting for the sequel.

Windows 10 Insider 14960 with Fast Ring Build Rumors
The Windows 10 Insider is a program that gives its users the option to sign up for beta versions of the operating system that are available only for Microsft developers at first, and they can check out the new updates and give feedback. The program is available at the moment on different platforms, and it can be found on platforms such as Xbox devices, Mobile smartphones or PCs. The program has received more build updates over time for the said platforms, and a new build for Windows 10 Insider Fast Ring is being built right now.
A twitter user named "Core Insider Program" has made many leaks regarding technology updates over time, and he is considered to be a trust source. In a series of Tweets, the source confirmed that the release candidate was the 14959 version and the upcoming build to be released is going to be 14960.
What the source basically meant in his tweets is that there were some unknown issues with the 15959 build and that is the reason that they skipped it, and that the 14960 build has to pass a few tests before it can be rolled out to users.
The new Fast Ring Insiders 14960 version was compiled on 28th October, and this was confirmed by the website BuildFeed, which specializes in Fast Ring Insiders updates. This means that it had a few days to be put in tests and see if there are going to be any bugs, and if the test results come out good, Windows 10 users should expect their update to come any day now.
All we can do now is to wait for Dona Sarkar, the Leader of the Windows Insider Program at Microsoft, to officially announce the update roll out for devices that run on Windows 10 OS. And after it gets announced we can go and update our devices.

New Years Eve is well known for the champagne, staying up late, kissing, and glamorous outfits. But what about those who are a bit younger? They definitely want to be able to ring in the new year with just as much fun and pizazz as their parents and older siblings! So here are a few Holiday Party Ideas to make their night just as memorable as your own.
- Sleep over party! If you just so happen to have young ones of your own and a lack of plans for NYE, why not offer to host a sleep over for the neighborhood kids. Other parents may be appreciative of the night out, or may even offer to help you out! As a result the kids will have a safe and fun place to be for the night. Have the kids get dressed up and provide themed snacks like cupcakes bedecked in glittery sprinkles, cookies decorated like clocks, or dip sugar cones in chocolate and then decorate to look like NYE hats. Hand out noise makers and bubbles to celebrate and plastic glasses of sparkling cider. If you want to avoid the sugar of cider and the possible mess, seltzer or sparkling water adds the bubbly without the extra sugar.
- Karaoke party! If your kids are a bit older and still want to have their friends over, try busting out the karaoke machine or singing video games. Everyone can take turns belting out their favorite tunes between munching on finger foods and dips. Kick it up a notch and offer prizes for a contest. Set up a rotating panel of judges (so everyone gets to sing and everyone gets to judge) to pass out scores. Just make sure everyone stays nice with their comments! Just Dance! and other dance related games can make a fun addition to a karaoke party. Contestants take turns getting in front of the television and trying to match their own smooth moves to the avatar on the screen.
- Glam it up! If you have teens living at home who want in on the fun but you want to make sure they stay out of harm and out of trouble, let them invite their friends to the house. The kids can dress to kill for the night. Set up appetizer tables and a "bar" with virgin mixed drinks (just make sure they stay unspiked!). A photobooth can add a fun element as well. Set up a glitzy backdrop with 2014 or "Happy New Year" and leave out props like boas and masks for the guests to use. Either set up a point and shoot digital camera with a remote on a tripod or a webcam on a laptop. Guests can take their own pictures to be posted to a social media site or party website later. Have your kids make a fun playlist of music and offer games like Apples to Apples to keep the laughs coming and everyone actively having a good time.
The most important part of New Year's Eve is to have a good time and make sure that everyone stays safe, happy, and healthy so they can enjoy the coming year.

Random Haul
Beauty Bar is on sale, so I dropped by.
I found this bag organizer which was going for 65% off.
It's actually pretty neat. While most bag organizers are like mini-bags with a lot of compartments, this is like a chain of pockets. This is what it looks like inside the schlepping bag:
Now if you're like me and your teeny stuff always get lost inside the abyss that is your bag (and yes, this happens even with the conventional bag organizer), this thing is a god send.
I skipped on the make-up because they're kinda iffy, like really really old stock.
But I did get this microfiber hair turban thing because it was only 300 Php from 1500 Php and I'm a sucker for things like that. And towels don't expire so even if this is five-year old stock I still don't mind.
And then I got random things elsewhere:
A swirly cup for mixing foundations and stuff. I got this from Gourdo's for only 20 Php.
Tea lights and strawberry aromatheraphy oil from some random stall.
An oil burner from The Body Shop. See, I live with people who smoke, and I really really abhor the smell of cigarette smoke, so I'm hoping this would help.
I got a tub of Mango Body Butter for 50% off because I have a Love Your Body card (you get 50% off on your second item with a purchase of any regular item). I do think Mango is the yummiest-smelling of all body butters but it's for very dry skin so it's too greasy for the body. However, my hands have been getting extra dry in the office so I figured I'd use it as a hand cream.
I bought a second Clippa for my mom, because I promised her I'd get her one. They're a bit expensive for bag holders, but they're extra nifty and much prettier, too.
And in the spirit of wardrobe change and shiz I bought a dress. For no reason other than I like the way it fits, and it has pockets! It's from the Ponds x Plains and Prints collaboration and it actually came with a free facial wash which is probably never going to get used just because Ponds and I, we're not really good friends.
Anyway, that's that. I have got to sleep. ^^

When reading Karen Litfin's inspiring book, I was reminded of my recent visit to the Lancaster Cohousing community on the edge of the village of Halton in northwest England. For more than 10 years, young professionals have been battling with planners, bankers, architects and local residents to build some 40 eco-homes in a rural location, centred around a common house, which features shared facilities such as kitchen, laundry and pantry. Community members also co-run car-sharing and food-buying cooperatives.
The UK's planning laws are not exactly conducive to setting up such sustainable ventures, as the Lammas community in Pembrokeshire also found out. Setting up shop there was even more complicated, as the community hoped to take over agricultural land and live on it as smallholders, which is impossible within the current legal framework.
Thanks to devolution, however, Wales now has an innovative sustainable development scheme called One Wales: One Planet, which enables rural, land-based livelihoods to be created. To meet its planning permission, Lammas must follow strict rules to minimise its impact on the ecosystem. The community achieves this by following permacultural, off-grid design standards, mimicking nature to sustainably manage the land, in stark contrast to the monocultures of contemporary industrial agriculture.
Lammas and Lancaster Cohousing are the sort of eco-villages that Litfin, a political scientist at the University of Washington, would love. They are part of a growing movement of intentional communities experimenting with new ways of sustainable living. In her quest to learn more about such communities, Litfin travelled the world, visiting 14 ecovillages on five continents. This book is her way of making sense of this research experience, as well as part of a very personal growth story. In lively, honest and reflective prose, she offers deep insight into how this research project has been part of her own mission of living more sustainably.
While Litfin provides us with a range of practical information about the principles of ecovillage organising – including countless nuggets of inspiration that will be useful to anyone, not just those intending to live in communities – she also puts forward a theoretical framework for analysing these emerging ways of sustainable living.
What she calls her "four windows into sustainability" – ecology, economics, community and consciousness – are not particularly new. The triple bottom line and three-legged stool approaches have defined sustainability as the balancing of ecology, economy and society for a long time. Litfin, however, adds the "inner dimension of sustainability, the deeper questions of meaning and cosmological belonging that have informed human existence for ages".
Their thoughts dominated by economics – jobs, healthcare and education costs – many people in so-called developed countries have lost this dimension of consciousness, as well as their deep connection to nature. The natural world is more likely to enter people's lives through consumption – eg, organic supermarket food – than via a real connection to the land.
Although the ecovillages Litfin visited are mostly based in developed countries – housing well-educated professionals, like me, who want to exit the rat race by reconnecting to people and the land – it is important to bear in mind that many developing countries are still dominated by rural, land-based communities. Their livelihoods are often threatened by large-scale so-called "development" projects: mining, dams, agri-businesses and forest plantations.
Any attempt to reconnect to the land in the rich world should be celebrated, but we must not overlook the struggles faced by poor rural communities trying to carve out a land-based living at the edges of industrialised capitalism. For the rich to go back to the land is important. Equally important is to enable the poor to stay on the land and make a decent living.

Drug launch curves in the modern era, a new article in the January 2017 issue of Nature Reviews: Drug Discovery, contains projections of relevance for forecasting pharmaceutical sales in the US market. Relying on unit sales for 61 innovative drugs receiving FDA approval between 2000 and 2002, the authors determined that the median product follows an S-shaped launch-to-peak penetration curve: achieving 11% of peak sales in Year 1, 31% in Year 2, 58% in Year 3, 76% in Year 4, 89% in Year 5, and 100% (i.e. peak sales) in Year 6. On an interquartile basis, time-to-peak (TTP) ranged from 4 to 9 years; the minimum TTP was 2 years and the maximum was 14.
Using data from the Supplemental Materials file we find that the average for TTP for first-in-class drugs is 5.65 years as opposed to 6.93 years for subsequent entrants. Unlike other research on the subject, however, the authors did not that there was a statistically significant relationship between entry order and TTP. But, as they note, TTP is distinct from factors such as market share and revenue potential that may be more indicative of first-mover advantage.

An amazing Trip with the USYD PhotoSoc Execs 🙂
In this scene we can observe two Luddites hanging on to the dwindling art of film photography. A puzzled kangaroo looks on and kindly waits till they adjust their aperture, shutter speed and focus before squeezing on that shutter, but alas, no flip of the mirror. They had both forgotten to wind on their film from their last dance with light. The beast floats away in the blink of an eye and the shot is lost. But they were close, oh so close. Till Next time my furry friend. (Comment by Tino)
If you don't have a tripod with you be spontaneous and do it some home. But secure your camera not to fall down 😛
Ui, let's take a photo of the guys taking a photo taking a photo taking a photo taking a photo 🙂
have fun:P

In this statement we'll give you an update about the lack of updates and communication from us.
We've created an official company with the name Hidden Monster Games.
You can check out the temporary website to read more about it.
In a week or two we'll be moving to our new office in Amsterdam.
And, from the 10th of April, we'll also have two new people joining our team (game designer and UI/UX designer).
We'll continue to look for more people like a front end developer, back end developer and someone to do the marketing and community management.
We also have an Instagram page now where you can check out some photos we made during GDC last month in San Francisco, and a look at the new office in construction.
So, what about Curve Fever?
You've probably noticed that there haven't been any updates the past month.
The reason for this is because we got a lot of inspiration during GDC and got some things confirmed.
The game is made with Unity which is a very generic game engine mostly for standalone and mobile games.
WebGL and HTML canvas are fairly new which means the engine was never build for this platform/target.
During GDC we had a talk with some experts that work for Unity and got some answers on questions we've been having for a while.
Currently 20% of the users are unable to load the game entirely.
Another 25% of users has horrible performance under 20 FPS.
There's only a small percentage of players that doesn't have any issues.
Normally you would be able to fix these kind of things by doing performance optimizations and creating workarounds.
However, since we use Unity we don't have any control on how the game is loaded and can't do anything about all the things that run in the background.
Apart from the technical issues there are a lot of other things that could've been done better.
As mentioned earlier we've hired an experienced game designer and an experienced UI/UX designer.
They'll rework a lot of concepts in Curve Fever to improve the user experience and replay-ability of the game. We want the game live more to its core concepts: A very accessible, competitive game with great social support.
This means the UI of the game will probably be changed completely and game concepts will change.
We can conclude that CF3 was a bit of a flaw and didn't work out the way we hoped it would.
Because of the issues mentioned above we've had to make a drastic decision.
The result of this is that we'll be creating a complete new version of the game.
Here are a few points that made us decide to create a new game.
To make sure we don't make the same mistake we're currently experimenting with different 'engines'.
We're putting a lot of effort in testing performance with different approaches and make sure all requirements are met.
Currently we're investigating Pixi.JS with a ReactJS UI.
This basically means the game rendering is done directly on the canvas (with webgl) and the UI will be seperate with the rendering system Facebook uses.
We're trying to make sure the game will look great on any resolution screen and that the performance will be great on any machine.
For the game itself how it's gonna be we can't tell yet.
In the next month(s) we'll do a lot of brainstorming and prototyping with the game designer and UI/UX designer.
We're aware of all the things that can be improved in CF3 and will use that to make an even better game.
During development we'll keep posting updates about the state of the game and we might ask for some feedback from time to time.
Currently we estimate that it'll take between 6-10 months to realize this new game.
The first months will be mostly designing what the new game will be and prototyping different concepts.
We'll also lay down the foundation of the game such as networking, curve drawing and so on.
After the design is finalized we'll have 2 extra developers and we'll start on creating the new game.
We plan to put out an open beta before the release to make sure the release will be smoother this time.
During the open beta we plan to continue developement and we'll do updates like we've done the past months on CF3.
This means the first version of the new game will lack features and might be very basic again.
However, we'll be able to add new features much faster especially with the new developers we're hiring.
As told before, we are in search for 2 new developers. To be more specific (click to read more):
Senior JavaScript / HTML5 developer
Senior Go developer
The new developers will work on this amazing game, in the heart of Amsterdam. Work at Curve Fever consists of short iterative sprints that is immediately tested by thousands of players. Further we believe that great games are created by the best teams. Therefor we provide all means for the developers to get on top of their fields, meaning we provide free conferences. For example, this March we have been at the Game Developers Conference in San Francisco to get inspired by great talks and meet new people.
We're not gonna take down CF3 but we'll mostly drop support for it.
This means there won't be any more feature updates and a lof of known issues and bugs will remain.
We might still fix a few bugs from time to time but the main focus will be on the new game.
This topic is now a banner. It will appear at the top of every page until it is dismissed by the user.
Curve Fever 3
2016 - 2017
Why, just why it's an awesome game
Drastic but smart decision.
will we have the same login?
We might use the same login yes.
However, accounts will be new.
The reason for this is because we'll change around a lot of core elements in CF3.
Like we might change currencies completely, change the curve system and so on.
It wouldn't make sense to try and migrate accounts because so much data will be completely different.
So this means you might still be able to login with your current username/password but you won't have your currency, curves, achievements, stats and so on.
Hmm oke! Goodluck with this ^^
That is unexpected. I quite enjoyed CF3, despite many flaws and lack of content.
Hm. Could have had potential i think but this might be the right idea. I just dont want to start all over again
Everyone creates new accounts anyways so it'll be fine
I meant like a new game.
U'll be fine, u'r pro anyway
so what will be the new cf called?
curve fever 4 or do we just replace 3 completely
or maybe even battlefield style and call it just "Curve Fever"?
Dunno so far in the office we just call it CF4.
I don't think we're gonna keep CF3 up like we do with CF2 though after CF4 is released.
Big news here ! Its bad for CF3. I was so addicted
But if this new one will be geater (I hope not the other way!) I will play beta and give you some FB !
Noo, please don't take CF3 from us! I love playing CF3, it's so pleasant!
The curves run very smoothly and it's so much fun, though that's right, there are few bugs…
We're not taking it down we'll just replace it with a better version once that's ready.
Awww and i was just starting to get good at CF3… Viva la Curvefever.io
will you get some "compension" for the coins and gems you had? I saved gems and now have 5k+ because i thought you would release new skins just as in cf2. I never bought the white and purple skins for this reason.

create variable for Record ID and send in URL
As you well know, I have the ability to look at a page full of PHP code, and within just a few seconds, come up with a recipe for lemon-drizzle cake. I need help to do this simple procedure:
I have done a couple of sites that have a 'Quick Links' area which draws its content from a database (here and here)
On the page I have a recordset (calendar).
I have a repeating region containing the dynamic text drawn from the recordset, therefore I have (once the HTML is stripped out) the following, which is all OK:
<?php echo date('jS F Y',strtotime($row_calendar['event_begin'])); ?>
<?php echo date('g:ia',strtotime($row_calendar['event_time'])); ?>
<?php echo $row_calendar['event_title']; ?>
<?php echo $row_calendar['event_short']; ?>
I need to add in to the repeating region a value for event_id from the recordset (hidden) as a variable that I can carry forward in a URL to another page, so that I can do a SELECT FROM using that ID on the new page.
The simple aim is to have a 'more . . . ' link for each record in the repeating region that links to a page with full details of that particular event.
Please could someone baby-step me through this apparently simple procedure?

Poppies, Scotland (2013)
35mm film. Tape. Glue. Shot with damaged Zenit camera. Single negative scanned/printed as is.

strong light made me cry
Many years ago, I saw this 'headline' in a medical advice column and the ambiguity of it has always
stayed with me. Traditional C-type from 35mm film.

objection 2
again. black and white. there is so much happening in the surface of this print which, sadly, my ancient scanner barely approximates.
Wednesday, 16 October 2013
I don't often work in black and white but, recently, I'm feeling influenced
by so many photographers who do. Photographers from history but, also,
my contemporaries like Deborah Parkin, particularly, whose work reminds
me how powerful and pure this medium can be.

The Strand Gallery
Many thanks to The Strand Gallery for this 'spotlight' feature.
Monday, 7 October 2013
this random bit of 35mm cine film was under layers of yellow splicing tape when i first discovered it about 25 years ago. i know nothing about it except that i've always been drawn to it and am finally getting around to printing it. look at the delicate, almost feminine hands of 'the taper'. the menacing stare of the henchman assisting in the (presumed) abduction. the sparkly 50's-era glasses. the deteriorating surface of grime, glue and debris. i like everything about this picture. i would love to know the name of the movie and the context of this scene.

Today the 2009 Recovery Act's temporary boost in SNAP (food stamp) benefits expires. This will translate into a benefit cut for each of the 424,000 SNAP recipients in Connecticut.
The change will cut SNAP benefits an average of $36 for a household of four. A household of three, such a mother with two children, will lose $29, or a total of $319 a year. The cut is equivalent to 16 meals a month for a family of three, based on the cost of the US Department of Agriculture "Thrifty Food Plan". 87% of SNAP recipients live in households with children, seniors or people with disabilities. These cuts directly affect the most vulnerable.
The cuts have a direct economic impact. According to a Center for Budget and Policy Priorities study, Connecticut will receive $44 million less a year in public benefits. The cuts will decrease the disposable income of many families, creating a ripple effect on local retailers and businesses. The Congressional Budget Office has long ranked SNAP as one of the most effective fiscal stimulus programs: the money goes to families in need that spent the money right away. Pulling these money out of the economy will also hurt the economy as a whole, not just its recipients.
Congress is working on the long delayed farm bill, with House and Senate delegations trying to reach an agreement in a conference committee. The House proposal includes more than $40 billion in cuts; the Senate $4 Billion. As part of our work with the New England Consortium CAHS is advocating to the New England delegation to stop these cuts.
SNAP is a crucial part of this country's safety net. We can not afford any more cuts.

We are one of the leanest, most cost-effective global charities who achieve extraordinary things with the resources gifted to us by our supporters.
Compassion's campaigns have already seen the beginning of the end for many of the worst aspects of factory farming – the banning of barren battery cage for hens; the end to near-permanent confinement of sows; the abolition of the horrifically restrictive veal crate. The EU has listened to our voice and enacted legislation on all these issues. And, to date, our tough, pragmatic engagement with leading food firms from McDonald's to Unilever is set to benefit over 1.88 billion farm animals every year.
Veal crates: Banned in UK & Europe
In 1987, the UK government voted to phase out cruel veal crates for calves following a court case and campaign from Compassion in World Farming. The ban came into place in the UK in 1990. Six years later, continued pressure from Compassion in World Farming also resulted in legislation to ban veal crates across Europe from 2007. Because of this campaign, veal crates are now outlawed in all countries in the EU.
Harnessing industry power that transforms animal lives
Since 2007, Compassion in World Farming's Food Business team has been working with some of the world's biggest food companies - retailers, producers, manufacturers and food service companies - to place farm animal welfare at the forefront of their corporate social responsibility agendas. The companies we work with are a key part of the drive towards a more ethical and sustainable food supply.
Read more about our progress with food companies here
Barren battery cages: Banned in Europe
In 1999, against all the odds, the EU agreed to ban barren battery cages for laying hens from 2012. Hailed by many as the single biggest victory for animal welfare in recent history, Compassion is now working tirelessly to ensure the ban is enforced across all EU countries.
Read more about the welfare of laying hens
Sow stalls: Banned in UK, restricted in Europe
Following intense campaigning by Compassion, keeping pregnant sows in narrow stalls has been banned in the UK since 1999. Continued pressure has meant that, from January 2013, these stalls are now also prohibited across the EU after the first four weeks of pregnancy.
Live exports: An end to subsidies
In 2005, the export subsidies for farmers transporting live cattle to countries outside the EU were eliminated. Compassion in World Farming continues to fight for an end to all live exports from the EU.
Read more about our work to end long distance transport of farm animals
Animals can feel pain and suffer: EU law agrees
In 1997, animals were legally recognised as sentient beings (capable of feeling pain and discomfort) by the EU, following a ten-year campaign by Compassion in World Farming. This fundamental agreement now underpins and paves the way for all future improvements to farm animal welfare in Europe.
Read more about animal sentience
We investigate and expose the true costs of factory farming, calling to account those with the power to change our food system. By working in partnership with inspirational supporters, progressive policy makers and visionary companies, we are mobilising a movement for far-reaching change in our farming that can feed the world and will improve the quality of life for billions of farm animals worldwide.
Compassion in World Farming punches well above its weight. Pound for pound, I think they contribute more to the cause of animal welfare than any other group I've ever met.
John Webster, Emeritus Professor,
Bristol University Veterinary School
Compassion punches way above its weight, with an influence and impact out of proportion to its modest resources
René Olivieri,
Tubney Charitable Trust
The world needs compassion in every nation, in every food company boardroom, in every farm, on every kitchen table. Join Compassion as we take the next big step and kick start a food and farming revolution.

The Pioneer CDJ850 Multi-format DJ CD Player is closely based on the industry-standard CDJ2000 and CDJ900 and features Rekordbox- just like its hi-end siblings.
Click below for Paul Dakeyne's overview of the Pioneer CDJ-850
Pioneer CDJ-850 - More Information
Apart from the ProDJ Link connection, the CDJ-850 inherits many of the most exciting features from the CDJ-2000 and 900, offering major enhancements over the outgoing CDJ-800MK2.
The CDJ-850 features the same large rotary select dial as the CDJ-2000 and is the most affordable product in the range to feature the Wave display to see peaks and drops of the music. An intuitive Tag List feature allows you to think ahead 10, 20 or many more tracks by arranging temporary set lists on the fly. You can save this as a playlist and recall it later in rekordbox or use it again at the next gig. And what's more, it's the only player to feature Tag List editing, so you can add, remove and change the order of tracks in the list.
Rekordbox music management software intelligently analyses the tracks you import, and via a cunning mix of BPM counting, beat positioning and other programming voodoo, groups tracks by genre, album and artist, ensuring that you have fast coherent command of you playlists.
The Auto Beat Loop function means that With one press of a button on the player, the user can create various loop performances including- Beat Loop which matches the beat and repeats a 4-beat loop, Loop Divide which while you're playing a loop, plays the loop at a different rhythm, and Hot Loop which allows you while playing a loop, to return to its start, and begin playing it again.
Loaded with features, the CDJ850 brings Pioneer's pro-quality sound, design and mixing tools within the reach of the aspirational semi-pro DJ and smaller venues. As well as spinning MP3, WAV, AIFF and ACC encoded CD/CDR/CDRW's, you can plug in a USB Flash Drive and mix tracks off that too. Despite the price point, it's capable of playing professional 24-bit music files. It can be used as a Midi controller and 24-bit soundcard for music software, and with HID capability, software companies will be quick to announce Plug&Play support.

Drug turns a man in to a beast. The drug addicted person so called father William Stephens whose age was twenty five years old murdered his sixteen week old offspring after trailing his anger. I have used so called because a father can not kill his daughter. So a drug addicted person is not a person at all when he is drunk. Some days ago the same thing had been happened in this city and the father is till now in the jail. When a man in addicted by cannabis then he does not love too much sound. After being run by the cannabis William Stephens wan in his home. Meanwhile his six weeks baby started crying. He could not bear the crying sound then he attack his baby and the has been died at the spot. He frequently took heroin and crack cocaine, and so on. Paris's mom Danah Vince whose age is ninety was also suspect of murdering her daughter, but was innocent of homicide throughout a seven-week experimental. I don't know how it is possible to take drug both the husband and the wife.
The couple had consequently contended, beforehand Miss Vince left Paris in Stephens's care while she departed to the medics. At the time of her nonappearance, Paris was self-confessed to Bristol Children's Hospital with thoughtful head injuries with one surprised skilled proverb he had not ever beforehand understood such a plain case of hemorrhage in the eyes. The baby had died latte the three days she attended in to the hospital. The news have spreaded around the country and some of the people are trying to give up drugging. People take drug in order to his or her mental satisfaction. But drug can not provide mental satisfaction. The real satisfaction is come from the practical life as well as the family life.

What is all this fuss about "nature"? What is it, even? Nature eats her young, her frail, her elders. Nature is cruel. Are you "nature-centric"? Good for you. I am not; I simply affirm that she exists. I affirm that death exists, and birth, but I am the bringer of culture to Man, I am she who brought you letters and art and warmth from the cold harsh winters that made you starve your young on hillsides. What is so wonderful about "nature" that made you do that?
– Saraswati, on the romanticizing of nature

Obama's Justice Department: Filling in the Blanks
The transition to a new administration is underway and people are naturally curious about what to expect at the Department of Justice. Asked to check into this, I called on friends inside and outside the Justice Department, on the Hill, and in think tanks. No one seems to have a very clear or full picture yet, although there are some hints in specific areas which I'll deal with below.
Obama will need to act quickly to fill not only the attorney general slot, but the slots of all the assistants, deputies, and all the Schedule C (political) positions in the Justice Department if he hopes to put his stamp on its operations. The Bush administration never did, and the animus of the generally liberal civil servants along with the failure to take charge resulted in no end of trouble, particularly since it became ever more difficult to lure competent lawyers into such a hostile, thankless environment due to time and natural turnover.
Obama will be luckier than Bush because, unlike his predecessor whose transition was shamefully impeded by Clinton, Bush has been gracious and helpful. Moreover, he will have a sympathetic Congress of the same party to help move his many appointments through more smoothly and quickly. Still, in the long void which preceded the election, Senator Schumer exercised unusual control over the Justice Department -- its appointments and operations -- and it remains to be seen if he thinks he should cede any of this control to Obama or how Obama would handle this encroachment.
Since personnel is policy, we will not have a particularly clear picture until we see some nominations (especially since many of his positions on the issues were muffled, distorted, or falsified in the campaign period).
For the top spot, it appears from press reports as if Obama has settled on Eric Holder for the job of attorney general. National Review summed up the view of many in an editorial published on November 19, when they warned that Holder represented a return to a "9/10 mentality" where "a national-security outlook marked prominently by its lack of seriousness about the terrorist threat" would be the consequence. NRO also criticized Holder's involvement in several of the high profile pardons made by President Clinton at the end of his term:
Much has been made, and appropriately so, of Holder's untoward performance in the final corrupt act of the Clinton administration: the pardons issued in the departing president's final hours. Of these, most notorious is the case of Marc Rich, an unrepentant fugitive wanted on extensive fraud, racketeering, and trading-with-the-enemy charges -- but granted a pardon nonetheless thanks to the intercession of his ex-wife, a generous donor to Clinton's library and legal-defense fund.
Holder's role was aptly described as "unconscionable" by a congressional committee. He steered Rich's allies to retain the influential former White House counsel Jack Quinn (Holder later conceded he hoped Quinn would help him become attorney general in a Gore administration); he helped Quinn directly lobby Clinton, doing an end-run around the standard pardon process (including DOJ's pardon attorney); and he kept the deliberations hidden from the district U.S. attorney and investigative agencies prosecuting Rich so they couldn't learn about the pardon application and register their objections.
