Sony CyberShot WX7
Sony CyberShot DSC WX7 digital camera :
Sony unveils five new CyberShot digital still cameras that makes it easy to get DSLR-like quality still images, stunning 3D photos and high-quality full HD videos. Among the new cameras is the 16.2-megapixel Sony CyberShot WX7 digital camera, the world's first compact digital still camera to include 3D Still Image mode for taking 3D images using only one lens and imager. The Sony WX7 also has innovative Dual Rec (record) technology, for taking still photos during video capture. With Sony's 16.2-megapixel "Exmor R" back-illuminated CMOS sensor technology, the Sony CyberShot WX7 provides excellent low-light performance, up to 10fps burst shooting and the Intelligent Sweep Panorama feature.
Sony CyberShot WX7 camera
"Sony is one of the first camera manufacturers in the industry to provide a 16.2MP CMOS sensor, which is a great benefit for consumers," said Kelly Davis, director of the digital imaging group at Sony Electronics. "They are getting the best image quality as well as all of the benefits of the "Exmor R" CMOS sensor technology in the very compact and stylish Sony CyberShot WX7 digital camera. The Sony CyberShot DSC-WX7 digital camera is a technology packed CMOS model providing the consumer with great "Exmor R" features such as low light, 3D Still Image/3D Sweep Panorama mode and AVCHD video all in a compact size with a wide, bright lens."
Sony WX7 photos and videos
The Sony CyberShot WX7 digital camera records crystal clear movies at 60i in 1080 AVCHD format. Borrowed from the Handycam camcorder line, the Sony WX7 camera has Dual Rec mode which can shoot video, while simultaneously capturing 3-megapixel digital still pictures (2-megapixel in 4:3 ratio when recording in MP4). The new Sony DSC-WX7 camera features a dedicated still image button and a dedicated movie capture button to make it easy to use for consumers. Dual Rec does not work in 60p mode.
Sony CyberShot WX7 3D images
Sony makes it easy to create personal 3D content that can be viewed on an HDTV with 3D home theater system. 3D images can be captured using 3D Sweep Panorama mode or the new 3D Still Image mode. In this mode, the Sony DSC- WX7 takes two consecutive shots in different focus positions to calculate the depths, and then it creates left-eye and right-eye images to produce a 3D effect. These images can be enjoyed in 2D or stunning 3D on compatible 3D televisions like Sony's new BRAVIA KDL-HX820 models (3D-compatible HDMI cables and 3D glasses are also required and are sold separately).
3D Sweep Panorama on the Sony CyberShot DSC WX7
The 3D Sweep Panorama feature lets you take panoramic pictures in one press-and-sweep motion. The high-speed burst of frames is stitched together using innovative processing techniques to automatically create detail-packed 3D panoramas. The Sony CyberShot WX7 camera will let you view images in a whole new way. Unlike 3D Sweep Panorama mode, which lets you view your 3D images on compatible 3D television systems, Sweep Multi Angle lets you view images moving in simulated 3D right on the cameras' LCD screen by tilting the camera back and forth. This shooting feature captures 15 images at different angles and then compiles them into one photo, creating a 3D-like effect on the display.
Sony CyberShot DSC-WX7 camera technologies
The Sony DSC-WX7 camera has a 5x 25mm wide angle lens for capturing the perfect group shot or landscape in one shot. You can view your images on the Sony WX7 camera's 2.8" LCD with the new Control Wheel. With improved Superior Auto and Intelligent Auto modes, the new Sony CyberShot WX7 camera captures more dynamic pictures. The digital camera automatically recognizes the correct scene mode, then quickly shoots and combines up to six multi-shots to produce images with greater clarity, optimum dynamic range using backlight correction HDR technology and lower image noise using six-shot Multi-shot Layering technology.
Sony CyberShot DSC-WX7 digital camera
Designed to help users learn about the cameras' features and how to use them on the spot, the "In-Camera Guide" is accessible from the menu button on the camera. Users can search by purpose or keyword and easily access the functions they seek. The Sony CyberShot WX7 digital camera also has a Background Defocus mode, which highlights your subject like a DSLR; Soft Skin mode, which reduces visible blemishes and wrinkles and Natural Flash, which corrects color balance for more natural shots.
Sony DSC-WX7 photography
The Sony CyberShot DSC-WX7 also offers fast capture with up to 10fps at full 16.2-megapixel resolution. With Backlight Correction HDR (High Dynamic Range) in the Scene Selection Shooting mode, the Sony WX7 digital camera makes it easy to get the best shot in difficult lighting conditions. The Sony CyberShot DSC-WX7 camera compiles two images in Backlight Correction HDR mode, enabling crisp details in difficult lighting.
Sony CyberShot DSC-WX7 features
• "Exmor R" CMOS sensor for stunning low-light performance
• 5x Optical zoom and 24m wide angle bright lens
• Fast capture with up to 10fps at full 16.2-megapixel
• Full HD 1080@60i with Dual Rec of stills and movies
• 3D Still Image and 3D Sweep Panorama photo function
Sony CyberShot DSC-WX7 price & availability
The new Sony cameras and a range of camera accessories will be available online at Sony Style retail stores and at authorized dealers nationwide. The new Sony CyberShot DSC-WX7 digital camera will be available in black, silver and red for about $200 in March. Presales will begin in January 2011.

Section 623 - Newsstands on Public Sidewalks
Section 623:00. Declaration of Policy.
Subd. 1. The City Council recognizes that under the provisions of the First Amendment to the United States Constitution, and Article I, Section 3, of the Constitution of the State of Minnesota, a person has a right to distribute or vend newspaper and periodicals on the public sidewalks within the City. Further, that the City may restrict the time, place and manner of the exercise by a person of the right to do so, only for a reason which is directly related to the preservation of public health, safety and welfare. That if such a restriction is imposed, it should be no more stringent than required to accomplish the purpose of protection of the public health, safety and welfare.
Subd. 2. Findings. The City Council finds that the unrestricted placement of unattended devices on the public sidewalks in the City to distribute or vend newspapers and periodicals has the potential to threaten the health, safety and welfare of the public; and, to interfere with the City's responsibility to provide a safe place for pedestrians, protect public facilities already in place therein, and to provide the City and adjacent property owners the opportunity to properly maintain the sidewalks in good condition. Therefore, the regulations set forth in this ordinance are established to set standards governing the placement of unattended devices designed to vend or distribute newspapers and periodicals on the public rights-of-way of the City.
Section 623:05. Prohibition. No person shall vend or distribute newspapers or periodicals from an unattended dispensing device on the public sidewalk if the device is placed on the sidewalk in violation of any of the regulations set forth in this ordinance.
Section 623:10. General Provisions.
Subd. 1. No unattended newspaper or periodical dispensing device shall be placed:
a. within six (6) feet of any fire hydrant, or fire alarm box, ornamental street light pole, utility pole, traffic signal or any traffic control device post, building entrance/exit doors so as to interfere with access to business.
b. or attached in any manner to any fire alarm box shaft, ornamental street light pole, utility pole, traffic signal or any traffic control device post;
c. where it projects beyond any curb line onto the roadway;
d. within three (3) feet of any crosswalk;
e. within three (3) feet of any curb return at any intersection;
f. within three (3) feet of the curb return of any driveway;
Section 623:10, Subd. 1. g.
g. within three (3) feet of the approach to any sign marking a designated bus stop, or any designated loading space or three (3) feet forward of such sign;
h. where it restricts access to a designated vehicle loading or unloading area;
i. in any handicap access ramp;
j. in such a manner as to reduce the clear space for the passageway of pedestrians using the sidewalk to less than eight (8) feet in the central business district, or four (4) feet in areas where the sidewalk is six (6) feet or less in width.
k. on any boulevard or other place planted with lawn, flowers, shrubs or trees.
l. so that it is bolted or permanently attached to the sidewalk surface;
m. so that it is weighted down or anchored by any device or material which is not an integral and attached component of the dispensing device, or which is readily separable from the device by an unauthorized person or by weather conditions.
Subd. 2. A dispensing device shall only be placed adjacent to the wall of a building, and shall be placed parallel to said wall and shall not project more than thirty (30) inches into the right-of-way. Where there is no building adjacent the right-of-way, placement shall be made as far as possible, within the right-of-way, from the center line of the right-of-way.
Section 623:15. Maximum Size. An unattended automatic dispensing device for newspapers or periodicals shall not exceed five (5) feet in height, thirty (30) inches in width, or two (2) feet in depth.
Section 623:20. Use and Appearance. An unattended dispensing device for newspapers and periodicals shall be used solely for the distribution of newspapers, magazines and other printed materials and shall be maintained by the applicant in a state of good repair and neat appearance. In addition, the name, address and phone number of the owner of said device or a person responsible for maintenance shall be legibly displayed thereon.
Section 623:25. Severability. If any section, subsection, sentence, clause or other part of this ordinance should be adjudged void or of no effect, such decision shall not affect the validity of any other portions of this ordinance.

Cemetery Railway
The Brookwood Cemetery Railway
An unusual feature of Brookwood Cemetery was that it had its own private railway running through the grounds. The main reason for this was that the Cemetery was over 25 miles from central London, and the only convenient method of transporting coffins and mourners was by the London & South Western Railway. The funeral trains began to operate from 13 November 1854 when the Cemetery opened to the public.
A private Necropolis terminus was provided just outside Waterloo station (see photograph on the left). The original station (1854-1902) was located between York Street (now Leake Street) and the Westminster Bridge Road. This station was replaced by a more extensive building in 1902. This was due to the complete reconstruction of Waterloo Station. The original terminus was demolished at about this time.
The new station was located at 121 Westminster Bridge Road and continued to provide railway funeral traffic until the station was bombed on the night of 16-17th April 1941. More information about the destruction of the London station may be found on The Historyplace Website. The terminus was never rebuilt after the Second World War although the entrance at 121 still survives (see photo). Some further photos of this station can be seen here.
The funeral trains ran from this private station, down the railway company's main line, and was then reversed into the Cemetery grounds at Brookwood. The trains ran once a day, assuming that funerals were booked to take place. The Sunday service ceased after October 1900. Thereafter the trains operated largely on an "as required" basis. By the 1930s they were running at most twice a week. The service was never reinstated after the Second World War, and the track in the Cemetery was removed c1947-48.
In the Cemetery grounds two private stations were provided, one for each main portion of the burial ground. "North" station served the Nonconformist sections (nearest the main railway line), whilst "South" station served the Anglican sections (close to the A322). After calling at North Station, the railway crossed Cemetery pales (the road which runs through the Cemetery grounds) on a level crossing.
North Station was demolished sometime in the 1960s due to dry rot. South Station survived as the "South Bar", providing refreshments to visitors until it was closed in c.1967. The building was burned down in September 1972. The photograph (above right) shows the surviving platform of South Station as it was in August 1976.
The trackbed of the railway may still be followed through the grounds, and the Society organises guided walks following this route during the course of the year.
You can read more about the cemetery railway in an article by Paul Slade and there is another article here. Radio 4 broadcast a thirty minute documentary "One Way to the Necropolis" on the cemetery railway on Monday 7th February 2005 at 8.30pm.
There is a useful virtual tour of the railway route here. However this link currently covers only the former Nonconformist section of the railway.
My book, The Brookwood Necropolis Railway, gives a more detailed history of the cemetery railway. It is published by Oakwood Press and is available from the Cemetery Society or the publishers, or from any good bookshop.

The Time in Between by Maria Duenas is an enjoyable book. It reminded me of reading books like A Tree Grows in Brooklyn, To Kill a Mockingbird and Rebecca. Books that are some of my favorites and I would love to reread. Books that I read for pure entertainment. The Time in Between is one of these books.
Sira Quiroga lives in Madrid with her single mother. She knows nothing of her father. Her mother is a seamstress and when she is fourteen years old she becomes her apprentice. At age twenty her life is mapped out for her, including a future marriage to a young men she has known forever.
Then two events happen that change the course of her life. Her mother takes her to meet her father and she also meets and falls in love with an attractive salesman. It is the beginning of the Civil War in Madrid. Sira and her handsome salesman move to Madrid.
This is the start of many problems for her. While in Madrid eventually on her own she meets many interesting people and rebuilds her life.
This book spans the Spanish Civil War to World War II. If you want to lose yourself in a good book this is the book for you!!
The Well and the Mine is Gin Phillips first novel. It takes place in 1931 during the depression. The Moore's live in Carbon Hill Alabama. Albert works in the mines. He and his wife have two daughters and a son. Tess the younger of the two girls loves to sit on the back porch near the family's well. The well is a comfort to her. Then one night when she is nine years old she sees a woman drop a baby until the well. At first no one believes Tess but then the baby is found. This is the story of the two sisters trying to find out who the baby belonged to and why the baby was put in the well. It is the story of the men working in the mines and their families that worry about them and it is a story of the depression. A very good book. Gin Phillips next novel Come In and Cover Me will be published in January. I am looking forward to reading it.

Comments: Nice shoe but too narrow for me which gave me foot pain. Good price for the quality just not for wide
From: Bob, 7/13
Comments: I wish I had found these shoes a long time ago. I just picked up a pair of these shoes in the
and liked them so much I quickly bought another pair before they ran out. These are really nice shoes. They are stable, fit my
well, and have very good traction. They have a lower-to-the-ground feel that I like in a high performance shoe. I've worn
Barricade's, Prince, and Nike shoes in the past. I'm very happy with the quality and fit of these shoes. I'm concerned that TW may
stop carrying them now that I have found how good they are.
From: Rick, 1/13
Comments: I need a shoe with an arch and room in the forefoot. Took a chance with these. It took 2-3 sets to
in. I can go 3 sets with no problems and feet feel reasonably comfortable. The wear seems to be normal but I am easy on shoes.
From: Mark, 7/12

great buy
"I love these! I've had these for about two months now and I wear them so much, they're pretty comfortable (I accidentally screwed up the back of the right one somehow the first time I put the shoe on, so now the back is a little rough and rubs against my feet a little bit but not too badly) but other than that they're great. The pattern is different from what's shown though, it's similar and the same colors but the pattern is diagonal instead of horizontal as shown. I don't think it's a problem, it's so bright and lovely. Everyone always compliments me on these."

"I was originally shopping for work booties but told myself I needed these for weekend-wear. I'm usually an 8-8.5 because I have wide feet, and I'm glad I ordered the 8.5. They "just" fit, but I'm sure the leather, while sturdy, will stretch. I will also need to buy an insole because there are as flat as they appear. I took away a star because of the flannel pattern on the side. Like a previous reviewer stated, the pattern is similar but not as nice as shown. Its still a great buy for Fall."

"These boots are the perfect fall accessory! The pattern on the boot is a little different in person however the colors are the same. They run a little tight so going up a half or whole size is recommended."

just lovely
"I get countless compliments about this purse. I just have it sitting on my desk at work and nearly everyone who walks by stops to admire it! I got the brown to match a coat i had bought (i usually don't wear brown!) and i am so impressed by the quality; it looks like real leather and the stitching is flawless. It fits a lot of stuff too. I wear it as a crossbody but you can also wear it in the crook of your arm or slung over your shoulder. It is a little tricky to open and close so i wish it had an outside pocket on the back for my MetroCard but you can't have everything! If you're thinking about it just get it!"

"I love this bag!! It stands up on its own, and is the perfect size to fit my tablet.The only problem is that when they ship it to you the strap is situated in a way where it is really easy for it to catch on the sides. This happened to me and my strap actually broke, I loved it so much though I got a new one. Thankfully the straps can be clipped off.Do yourself a favor and re-clip the straps upside down and they won't catch anymore. Once I did that this bag became my best friend!!!I would buy this bag again!! It is such high quality and it is gorgeous! PS. I got it in cognac."

SPODDING is the most efficient way of delivering particle feeds at long distance. Aerodynamic spods will fly 100 yards and it's possible to lay down large, tightly grouped beds of feed in minutes.
Spods come in various sizes and a fully loaded, larger model weighs several ounces when filled with broken boilies, hemp, pellets and other goodies.
That demands a spod rod with a minimum test curve of 4 lb. Standard carp fishing rods are not built for repeated casting with heavy spods and it's unwise to risk overloading them.
Casting gloves or fingerstalls from your local chemist will prevent deep cuts caused by line. Shockleaders are also a must for buffeting the extreme pressures.
For shorter distances up to 60 yards you can use lightweight mini spods, which only weigh around 3 oz when fully loaded with bait.
These can be used with your standard carp rod of around 2.5 lb test curve or more, but it's still a good idea to reel on 30 feet of shockleader to prevent crack-offs.
Tight baiting is easily achieved using a marker float. It only takes a few dummy casts with a spod to hit the right spot, and then you simply put the line in the line clip, reel in, load the spod with feed and aim for the marker float. The clipped line ensures that the spod will fall on the same spot every time.
Spodding can be quite addictive, especially when you get into a rhythm.
Remember, it's easy to introduce too much feed into the swim – and you can't remove it once delivered!
1 – Centrifugal force keeps feed in a spod until splashdown. Then the cork or polystyrene nose-cone makes it invert and spill the contents. Different coloured cones are needed for changing light conditions. Casting to a marker float is the most accurate method.
2 – Gardner pocket rockets are safe to use with a standard 2.5 lb test curve carp rod, but stout shockleaders will prevent any line breakages caused by repeated casting. A lack of holes improves performance with wet, sticky particle mixes.
3 – A loaded spod will weigh several ounces but dedicated spod rods have sufficient backbone to cope with repeated long chucks. Shockleaders are needed to prevent crack-offs and leather fingerstalls or a glove will protect your index finger.
4 – A loaded spod will comfortably cast 100 yards in experienced hands. Holes in the body allow passage of water when the empty spod is being retrieved. Different coloured nose cones ensure successfully inverted spods are easily seen.

Over the last couple of days I've been involved in a couple of discussions where it is clear that other people don't understand how Perl deals with Unicode. The documentation is clear and detailed (there's even a good tutorial) but for some reason people still persist in misunderstanding it.
Here's a quick quiz. Can you explain (in detail) what is going on with all of these four command-line programs? And for bonus points, which one should we be emulating in our code?
$ perl -E'say "£"' £ $ perl -Mutf8 -E'say "£"' � $ perl -C -E'say "£"' £ $ perl -C -Mutf8 -E'say "£"' £
In all cases, assume that my locale is set to en_US.UTF-8.
I'll post explanations in a few days time.

DUBLIN, Ireland (AP) — Rory McIlroy will spend part of his week before the Masters on a humanitarian mission in Haiti.
McIlroy says he will meet with children and their families April 1-2 to see how their lives have changed since the 2010 earthquake that ravaged the country. McIlroy also made a trip to Haiti before going to the U.S. Open in 2011. He won his first major at Congressional with a record score.
McIlroy is an Ireland ambassador to UNICEF and has geared his own charity work toward children.
The 23-year-old from Northern Ireland says he is excited to return. He calls Haiti an inspiring and humbling country where children face daily struggles. McIlroy says he hopes his presence can create international awareness of the plight Haitian children are facing.

In terms of the stage, none will be bigger than when Ashton Goodley tees it up Thursday at PGA National in Palm Beach Gardens, Fla.
When it comes to size and length, Goodley likes her chances of trying to tame the famed home of the Professional Golfers' Association of America.
After wrapping up a top finish at the Illinois Optimist Junior Golf Championships at Red Tail Run Golf Course in Decatur with a 83-78-161, Goodley now sets on sights on the Optimist International Championships.
One of the big reasons for Goodley's top finish in Decatur was due to her distance off the tee.
This summer, the Eldorado High School junior to be has found a new love with her driver and has her irons dialed in as well.
PGA National is expected to play 5900 yards in length when Goodley goes for the championship of the Optimist International Tournament.
In comparison, Red Tail Run played 6100 yards, where the Eagle linkster had to overcome unfavorable weather conditions.
"The course played long, but with the wind, it played even longer." Goodley said after she won at Red Tail Run.
Goodley is booming her drives some 270 to 265 yards off the tee box this summer with no only length, but with accuracy.
She knows that will be the X-factor come Thursday.
"I have a goal of shooting 70," she said. "I know in order to do that, I have to put the ball in the fairway and keep it in play. I can't come away with anything more than a two-putt on any green, but obviously, I got to mix in some birdies."
Goodley is hoping that logic puts her in position to contend on the weekend after the first cut is made Friday.
Along the way, Goodley plans to make the most of the experience.
"I'm excited and really looking forward to it. I'm excited about the new competitors and meeting some international players."

The End Of History For Corporate Law
Henry Hansmann
Yale Law School; European Corporate Governance Institute (ECGI)
Reinier Kraakman
Harvard Law School; European Corporate Governance Institute
January 2000
Yale Law School Working Paper No. 235; NYU Working Paper No. 013; Harvard Law School Discussion Paper No. 280; Yale SOM Working Paper No. ICF - 00-09
Despite the apparent divergence in institutions of governance, share ownership, capital markets, and business culture across developed economies, the basic law of the corporate form has already achieved a high degree of uniformity, and continued convergence is likely. A principal reason for convergence is a widespread normative consensus that corporate managers should act exclusively in the economic interests of shareholders, including noncontrolling shareholders. This consensus on a shareholder-oriented model of the corporation results in part from the failure of alternative models of the corporation, including the manager-oriented model that evolved in the U.S. in the 1950's and 60's, the labor-oriented model that reached its apogee in German co-determination, and the state-oriented model that until recently was dominant in France and much of Asia. Other reasons for the new consensus include the competitive success of contemporary British and American firms, the growing influence worldwide of the academic disciplines of economics and finance, the diffusion of share ownership in developed countries, and the emergence of active shareholder representatives and interest groups in major jurisdictions. Since the dominant corporate ideology of shareholder primacy is unlikely to be undone, its success represents the "end of history" for corporate law.
The ideology of shareholder primacy is likely to press all major jurisdictions toward similar rules of corporate law and practice. Although some differences may persist as a result of institutional or historical contingencies, the bulk of legal development worldwide will be toward a standard legal model of the corporation. For the most part, this development will enhance the efficiency of corporate laws and practices. In some cases, however, jurisdictions may converge on inefficient rules, as when the universal rule of limited shareholder liability permits shareholders to externalize the costs of corporate torts.

Draft Street and the Nations
Kent Wilson
October 09 2013 11:10AM
Due to popular demand Draft Street is back on the Nations. We ran some Free Rolls for DS last year and got some really good feedback, so we approached them about getting this going again for us again this year. They finally acquiesced when I threatened to send Wanye to their house with a bullhorn and a clown costume.
For those unfamiliar, Draft Street here's some background on the Free Roll:
1. Sign up at Draftstreet for your FREE Entry into a $500 NHL contest
2. Pick your favorite NHL players
3. Get Paid $$$$
Draft Street is a new way to play fantasy hockey that turns the season long grind into quick hitting one night leagues. And the best part is that you can win cash every single day. You draft a team for one night and get paid out as soon as the games end. DraftStreet.com is at the forefront of this new trend in the fantasy world and is giving us a great promotion: a FREE one-day fantasy league with $500 in prizes.
This free contest will be salary-cap style drafting where everyone tries to assemble the best team out of the available players.You will have a $100,000 budget to build a team of:
2 LW's, 2 RW's, 2 Center's, 2 Defensive players, 1 Goalie, and a flex player.
Each NHL player has been allocated a price based on their expected fantasy performance. You can adjust your roster up until the contest starts on Saturday October 12th at 2:00pm ET/12:00 pm MT at which time your rosters will lock. After that you can track your team's performance versus others in the league via Draft Street's real time, Live Scoreboard.
CLICK HERE to sign up for free and join the $500 Freeroll on DraftStreet.com.
My brother and I have been regularly entering teams in small bet pools since the season started and I can say I've already won about $70, so it's not one of those deals where it's impossible to win and cash out. I'll definitely be entering a team in each and every Free Roll we get going with DS this year too.
Sign up and give it a whirl. And of course, make sure to check your picks against roster and goalie updates over at Daily Faceoff. I've found DF to be invaluable in my DS roster building so far this year.
Apparently the new Flames Third Jersey is Leaked... Like the striping more than the current home/aways, but that symbol looks like something you find on an unlicensed kids sweater from Walmart.
@Kent Wilson
Hahaha, Oops I guess I'm not following FN close enough it seems two jobs have gotten the best of me. Until the Flames return the Retro's to the everyday rotation everything else is going to suck. Why do they keep on pushing to have Black as a primary colour?!?!?!
October 09 2013, 12:40PM
@Kent Wilson
Hey Kent,
Any chance this could be a huge "red herring"? I mean, I can't imagine the Flames allowing a video game to reveal it before the official launch. I thought there'd be too much money at stake.

(223 quotes found)
"Twenty years from now you will be more disappointed by the things that you didn't do than by the ones you did do. So throw off the bowlines. Sail away from the safe harbor. Catch the trade winds in your sails. Explore. Dream. Discover."
"The person who goes farthest is generally the one who is willing to do and dare. The sure-thing boat never gets far from shore."
"Be daring, be different, be impractical, be anything that will assert integrity of purpose and imaginative vision against the play-it-safers, the creatures of the commonplace, the slaves of the ordinary."
"Nothing splendid has ever been achieved except by those who dared believe that something inside them was superior to circumstance."
"You cannot be wimpy out there on the dream-seeking trail. Dare to break through barriers, to find your own path."
"To endure is greater than to dare; to tire out hostile fortune; to be daunted by no difficulty; to keep heart when all have lost it; to go through intrigue spotless; to forego even ambition when the end is gained - who can say this is not greatness?"
"Champion the right to be yourself; dare to be different and to set your own pattern; live your own life and follow your own star."

Nor I ... in fact, this is the first time I ordered a Yamashita gyo though someone gave me a sample.
You can still get the sampler ... 37.50 USD seems like a pretty good deal.


text: Admin on October 25, 2011 0 Comments When I arrived at Austin Home Brew, I realized that their set up was much larger than I expected. They have a great facility complete with retail and shipping operations. They appeared to be very transparent, giving you a view of the grain room and how they work inside it. The sales floor has everything under the sun related to home brewing, and we spent several minutes browsing the equipment, ingredients, etc. Once the initial awe wore off it was time to get started. The first step was to pick a recipe, and it was a little daunting looking through their recipe book because there were literally hundreds and hundreds of recipes and clones to choose from. A clone is a recipe that matches a specific name brand; if you have a favorite beer the chances are extremely good that they have a clone recipe for it. One of the experts, Christian, explained to me that the cost of the recipe kit goes up by ABV %. I finally landed on the Imperial Stout recipe and they gathered up the materials. The next step was to learn how to brew. JB took us to the back of the building where the shipping bays were, and where he had bag of grain already steeping in a stockpot sitting on a propane cooker. He explained the process of steeping the grains like a tea bag, moving it up and down. Next was removing the grain bag and to bring the brew to a boil and then to add the malt. The malt was almost like caramel – very thick and sticky – and it was important to get it all in there while stirring vigorously to help it dissolve. Once again, JB brought the brew to a boil and it was time to put in the hops additions to add bitterness, aroma, and flavor. At this point it was just a matter of waiting to add in hops as the recipe called for it, in this case every 30 minutes or so. While we were waiting JB set up a cold bath to quickly bring the brew down to 80°F. From there he poured the contents of the stockpot into the primary fermentation bucket, added the yeast, and locked up the bucket with an airlock to let the CO2 out and keep oxygen from getting in. no images were found The class was very informative and allowed for socializing with my fellow Living Directors and I look forward to the second part of class.

The Mine Safety and Health Administration announced seven recipients of a total of $500,000 in grant funds for education and training at underground coal mines. MSHA established the competitive grants program through a provision in the Mine Improvement and New Emergency Response Act of 2006.
"These grants will go a long way toward providing mine emergency training for coal miners," said Richard E. Stickler, assistant secretary of labor for mine safety and health. "The program is a fitting tribute to the miners lost at both the Sago and Jim Walter #5 mines."
Twelve applications were submitted. The selected grantees are as follows:
College of Eastern Utah, $54,000, mine emergency training;
Colorado Department of Reclamation, Mining and Safety, $53,000, training materials for mine emergencies;
Pennsylvania State University, $135,000, mine emergency training;
United Mine Workers of America Career Center, $73,000, mine emergency training;
Virginia Department of Mines, Minerals and Energy, $85,000, mine emergency training;
Vincennes University (Indiana), $50,000, mine emergency training;
West Virginia Miners Health
Safety and Training, $50,000, training materials for mine emergencies.
Applicants for the Brookwood-Sago grants must be states or nonprofit entities. MSHA may award as many as 10 separate grants a minimum of $50,000 each with a 12-month period of performance. These grants will be made on an annual, competitive basis to provide education and training for employers and miners.mines.
In 2001, 13 men died in two explosions at the Jim Walter Resources #5 mine in Brookwood, Ala. Another explosion at the Sago Mine in Buchannon, W.V., claimed 12 lives in early 2006.

About the Rhetoric and Writing Program at UT Dallas
As part of UT Dallas' School of Arts and Humanities, the Rhetoric and Writing Program offers multiple sections of the core writing requirement: Rhetoric (RHET 1302). Our course aids students in improving their writing ability by emphasizing transferrable skills that they can apply in their other academic courses, their careers and their individual lives.
Students enrolled in RHET 1302 benefit from computer-based learning environments. Our teachers hold classes in three different "smart" classrooms equipped with instructor stations and LCD projectors, as well as individual computers for students. We also keep class sizes small, with no more than 20 students in each section, so that teachers can give greater individualized instruction.
Every semester, RHET 1302 students complete a series of assignments for helping them improve their writing ability. Students draft and revise essay assignments asking them to call upon their writing, research and critical thinking skills. These assignments require students to identify their purpose, to analyze audiences and to articulate effectively a thesis as well as to provide adequate support for that thesis with good reasons and accurately cited and documented sources.
See rhetoric courses available in A&H
However, regardless of the media, medium or genre, we make certain students practice conventions that remain important for good writing. Through peer review and student-teacher conferences, we emphasize the importance of revision so that students can improve, for example, their paper's organization as well as achieve greater fluency at the sentence level.
Our program director is Dr. John C. Gooch. With almost 15 years combined teaching and administrative experience, Dr. Gooch became interim Director of Rhetoric in August 2006, and he was named to the permanent position beginning Fall 2008. After earning a PhD from the nationally recognized technical communication and rhetoric program at Texas Tech University, Dr. Gooch served on the academic faculties of Louisiana Tech University and Collin College before coming to UT Dallas in 2005.
We are very proud our program's role in helping fulfill the missions of both UT Dallas and the School of Arts and Humanities. Our teachers demonstrate the utmost in dedication to student-centered learning, and they embrace creativity in developing instructional approaches for ensuring that students gain the most from RHET 1302. Those wanting to know more about our program should contact Dr. Gooch.

The Gospel according to Matthew 7:21-23
The Lord said, "Not every one who says to me, 'Lord, Lord,' shall enter the kingdom of heaven, but he who does the will of my Father who is in heaven. On that day many will say to me, 'Lord, Lord, did we not prophesy in your name, and cast out demons in your name, and do many mighty works in your name?' And then will I declare to them, 'I never knew you; depart from me, you evildoers.'"

It looks like you're new here. If you want to get involved, click one of these buttons!
Crafting is a make it or break it proposition for many MMO players. A good crafting system can keep a player involved for years. A bad one can chase them out very quickly. In The List this week, MMORPG.com Lead Writer Bill Murphy takes a look at several MMOs that he thinks set the standard for all that's right in crafting. Check it out and then weigh in with your thoughts in the comments below.
What you see here is merely the best of the current crop - examples that companies even thinking about adding crafting should take a look at. While you may not agree with every title on this list, we definitely ask that you toss in your own nominations. That's the point of this weekly List of ours as always. And so, we present to you these seven examples of MMO crafting at its finest.
Read more of Bill Murphy's The List: Top Crafting Systems.
Good choices.
1)Star Wars Galaxies (Pre-NGE)
I have to agree ... best crafting system I have tried so far.
I haven't played all those games but of those I have, I definitely agree that SWG was the best of the lot with Fallen Earth at number two and PotBS at number three.
Interestingly, all three had an offline element where you could start a project one day and have to wait until the next one to retrieve resources or goods.
While I haven't played all the games on there, I think it's a really good list.
Good list, though unfortunately other aspects of some of those games watered down their value to most.
Personally I loved FFXI's, even though it was a bit obscene in many regards, it was one of the most complex & rewarding systems I've personally experienced. Maybe FFXIV's (though its a work in progress). Most would disagree with me.
Expand on the list in the future, maybe categorize it by time frame of the game or difficulties, etc...
Have to agree with Fallen Earth. Only game I've enjoyed crafting in. I'm usually just into fightin.
"Never met a pack of humans that were any different. Look at the idiots that get elected every couple of years. You really consider those guys more mature than us? The only difference between us and them is, when they gank some noobs and take their stuff, the noobs actually die." - Madimorga
well number 1 I agree with possibly number 2 also I'm quite surprised AIons isnt there though I enjoyed Aion's crafting and a lot like SWG a good crafter could make a rela name for themselves.
Yes it has a lot of RNG to it but its sytem is still decent certainly better than a few on the list.
SWG number one, (absolute)
vanguard number two (fun and complex minigame)
and eve number three. (mainly for the Blueprint thing complexity)
defently missing: ryzom and istaria
These are terrible choices in this article. The only decent crafting choices on it, are EQ2 and SWG, with SWG being the better one of the two. The all-time best crafting system in an mmo should of been listed is Istaria. Yes, I know it doesn't have the popularity or subscriber numbers like a lot of mmo's today, but the article was about the best crafting system in an mmo, and Istaria has it hands down. It would of been nice if the OP would of done more research before throwing just the most current talked about mmo names on a list.
All true... but one thing needs to be of note... The crafting system of SWG today is THE SAME as it was 7 years ago. Its more geared the way you descibed today then in the past. For instance... back in the day crafters were less dependant on other crafters then they are now.
Got to agree with the number 1 of SWG , I have crafted in many games but none have come close to what there was in SWG pre NGE .Got to be honest I keep on hoping that something as good will come again ..oh well
BestSigEver :P
I mostly agree with the list except that I would have put EVE Online at number 2 and not 4. Having not played Fallen Earth (yet), it might have earned that spot. Having PotBS, I didn't find crafting there that engaging (just my opinioin).
Let's party like it is 1863!
ryzom was interesting, but I found I was always behind the curve - perhaps I just made some poor skill choices, but I found that all through the trial I played I couldn't get materials without buying more advanced gear than I could make myself. So while the crafting system was complex, it wasn't satisfying that made-it-myself desire.
Bit of a mixed bag this list, perhaps telling us more about what games the author played instead of what games have a top crafting system.
Definitely missing: Ryzom, Horizons (now Istaria) and Tale in the Desert, all of them candidates for a top 5 spot.
I maintain this List of Sandbox MMORPGs. Please post or send PM for corrections and suggestions.

yeah, not to mention small indie sandboxes like wurm of haven and hearth, also maybe puzzle pirates, tho i am not sure if to count that one as full fledged mmorpg
My list: 1 SWG, 2 Vanguard, 3 EQ2. I found Fallen Earth crafting boring; combine and wait 2 hours. Haven't played the others so cannot comment. But I like crafting that has it's own mini-game that can effect quality. I hate boring crafting that results in the same thing every time. Make it a fun, diverse, skill influenced activity please.
Great choices. I've tried all those games but SWG and I love crafting quite a lot. Are there any people still playing that game and would you still recommend it for a crafter (at least before SW TOR is out, because that is actually the game I'm waiting for today)?

Still playing fallen earth and enjoying crafting. the most fun part to me is that the crafting fits in with the world. Hunting for scraps in the wasteland and making nicer (often not nice) things.

While Darkfall crafting & gathering is boring, it is nice that everything is craftable and the stuff that you make is better than any mob dropped item. The next major expansion promises some extra crafting love as well.
