I waited and waited for Thunderbird to arrive in-store at my local Sephora and it was so worth the wait. This is a rich, glowing dark bronze/brown and has the black base that Christine described. The beauty of this black base is that if I pat and press Thunderbird onto my mobile lid and then use a fluffy blending or crease brush to buff out the edges, I get a murky "almost black" shade in my crease. Using just this one shadow gives the effect of having used 2 shades for a sultry effect. Buxom Bronzed Bod is listed as a dupe for Thunderbird. I have it, and it has the same effect - intense bronze when patted or pressed but blend it out and you get the black base acting as a great crease/contour shade.

Applies great for me. My review is to note that on me, it definitely shows green - like a sheer light bright peridot - to gold, in the shift. It doesn't seem to show like that in the swatches, but it really does on me. (Nc25-ish) So much so, that if I re-use the brush or blend with the brush I used in this, I get a light green pearl sheen in the next color I use. This made the shade a bit less versatile for me although it is pretty.
By M 2 months ago.
I love the duochrome - it is an orangy peach on me, but then the shift is sheer hot pink, definitely two different shades. On me (NC25 ish) this is not a dark shade, and is fairly wearable. I love it on the lid, with a matte neutral in the crease, as if I use up into the crease, I feel I get an overly bright orange/pink eye look, for my comfort zone. The purpose of my review is to comment that I also use this eyeshadow as a blush/highlighter. I debated getting the Afterdark highlighter version, but decided to just use my Fireball shadow, and I am very happy with it. I just go lightly, and I enjoy the results. I also use Sin eyeshadow and X eyeshadow as highlighters on my cheeks, by the way. I have also dabbed Fireball eyeshadow over lipstick with my finger (two lipsticks that work well for me are Urban Decay Naked, and Revlon Sandalwood Beige) and love the resulting color... it's beautiful. I dab in center of bottom lip and smudge around a bit. On my skintone, doing this lip look, with a bit of Fireball as cheek highlighter, and eyelid shadow, is a super pretty look that wakes up my face and looks cheerful. I love when I can multiuse a product.

I like the richness of the color, but I noticed that it has an insane amount of fallout during wear. Not as much during application, but after a couple hours of wearing this shade (on the outer corners of my eyes) I found a lot of it had migrated to the bridge of my nose. Everything else about it was nice, but seriously, be mindful of the FALLOUT.
By Mariella 10 months ago.
Can I just say how much I LOVE this eyeshadow (especially paired with its palette-sister, Deeper)? I have this in the 15th Anniversary palette but I'm glad UD had the wisdom to make this stunner a permanent shade. It is a lovely golden bronze shade that is warm but doesn't lean at all red. I can't wear red-toned shadows and yet I really love warmer shades like this one, which is so flattering. It is creamy smooth and pigmented and just a dream to use which is another reason I'm glad it is permanent - I can use it freely without worrying about using it up and not being able to replace it. I just wish UD would get with the program and make shadows available in simple pan form so we could easily put them into our own palettes and not have to pay for packaging we don't even want.
By Mariella 12 months ago.
The colour pictured above is actually the shade "Anger", not Furious. If you look at both the packaging and the instruction card for this palette, you will see that "Furious" is the black shadow that shares a pan with "Anger" but the instructions clearly state to use this shimmery white shade as a highlighter and the black shade (Furious) to line. It seems that UD put the first run of these palettes together with the split pan placed incorrectly but they eventually did correct it. My palette has the split pan placed as it should be and as the outer box shows it and, more importantly, to be in line with their own instructions for recreating the Mrs. Mia Wallace "look". So, Anger (labelled here as "Furious") is a wonderful shimmery shade that is great for inner corners but I find it a bit too sparkly to use as a browbone highlight except for evening/parties, etc. Pigmentation and texture are SPECTACULAR.

I initially got the Mariposa palette because I really, really wanted Mushroom but Wreckage has actually been the shade I've used the most in that palette (together with Skimp and Spotlight). It's a really wearable bronzy brown that isn't too dark and even though it has a lot of shimmer, it's not glittery and it applies really nicely. I'm not sure if UD has released this as a single since way back when it came out in Mariposa, but they really ought to, as it is such a flattering colour and not too red for folks like me who don't look great in really red-toned brown shadows.

This colour seems just ok in the pan but a mess to use. Hard to blend, fallout, and no colour can qualify this eyeshadow.
By Mariella 2 years ago.
Money is such a gorgeous shade of icy green. It's cool and sort of "watery" looking, if that makes any sense and it is a terrific colour for hot summer days or night because the cool, silvery green-ness is looks so fresh and easy. I have this in 2 separate LE palettes and I'm glad it is now available as a single shadow as well.
By Mariella 2 years ago.
I've had Evidence since it came out in the 15th Anniversary Palette but I often forget about this palette and it's been tucked away, ignored, for some months. I just got it out today to use before going out for drinks with my son and a few of his friends and since I was going to be with a young crowd, I figured "what the heck". Evidence looks so amazing against brown eyes!!! While I wouldn't have gone quite so heavy or extreme in my daily life, I am so pleased with how this looks applied all around my eyes as a smoked out liner. Truly a stunning colour!
By Melonie 2 years ago.
I love this color. I'm obsessed with it. I use it wet. I love it. I had it in the fun palette. The palette finally expired on me so I'm about to repurchase this shade. I also replaced Sellout from that palette and its a staple color for me. These are great eyeshadows for me since I have sensitive eyes and I prefer wet application. These shadows become long-wear / "waterproof" after wet application. They are so far the only shadows I've found fully blendable while completely wet. Also I prefer mostly shimmer and their shimmer is just the right amount for every shade.
By Mariella 2 years ago.
I am more than a bit surprised by the low rating (C-) for this shadow from Naked2Basics as it is probably the shade I use most often. I love the coolness of the tone and the fact that it can be built up for more intensity but I don't need to worry about ending up with it being too dark after my first (often rushed and so sometimes heavy-handed) swipe of this. For a "naked" and "basic" shade, it is perfectly balanced in terms of pigmentation and "build-a-bility" for my needs.
By Mariella 3 years ago.
This is one of the shades I really liked in Vice3. I don't know if I got a bad one (I'm sure this can't really happen all that much with mass production like this) but I find this shadow a total pain in the neck to use. It just sticks in the brush and won't transfer at all to my eyelids. I press and push and brush and pick up more on the brush but still there is very little "pay-off". I've actually taken to using a fingertip to apply this - it's the only way I can get the lovely bronzey-brown shade onto my lid at all. I'm surprised that Christine found this to have intense colour payoff because my experience was exactly the opposite.
By Emilie 3 years ago.
Really not a fan of this shadow. I have it in my Ammo Palette and I find it pretty much useless. It's meant to be sheer and it really is when applied, overly so. It just kind of blends out to nothing. Plus, it leaves glitter all over my face even though it hardly seems to show up on my eyes... Ick. I used it once and haven't touched it since. One and a half stars because the color isn't unattractive, I just wish it worked. I hope I find some way to make it look good so it doesn't just sit there. Doesn't make the Ammo Palette not worth it, but purchasing it on its own would be a mistake in my opinion.
By Mariella 3 years ago.
I am surprised by just how much I love Strike and how beautifully it flatters my dark brown eyes. I thought it would be one of the colours that would go unused in the palette but I love pairing it with Derailed applied lightly for a daytime look or more heavily for an evening out look.
By Mariella 3 years ago.
I have this, of course, in the Vice2 palette but I sincerely hope that Urban Decay sees fit to release this as a single shadow as it is just a wonderful rich taupe with the most beautiful finish. Not that I've ever actually finished an eye shadow but I can see this being the first one to be finished in this palette and it would be good to be able to buy it on its own. Perfect colour!
By Mariella 4 years ago.
A large part of the reason I got the 15th Anniversary Palette (beyond the great value) was to get this colour which is a beautiful deep purple with a lush sheen. It leans more blue than red, so it works well for me and it's just beautiful. Pair it with a matte grey shadow and it's easy to wear/more work friendly but it's also great if you like more extreme looks.
By Mariella 4 years ago.
I first got this in the BOSIII and used it in such a miserly fashion because if I used it up, that was it! Then when it came out in the Naked 2 palette (which I wanted in any case), I was so happy. This is a beautiful bronzed champagne shade that is a delight to wear and mix with other shadow. LOVE it.
By Mariella 4 years ago.
I have this in both the "old formula" in BOSIII and in the new formula as a single shadow. This is SUCH a beautiful colour and totally unique but the fallout (the type that can't be brushed away and that "keeps on giving" in that it will continue to fall throughout the day or evening) made Maui Wowie pretty much unwearable. But because the colour is so lovely, I broke down in hopes that the newer version would not have the fallout issue. Sadly, while it's better than the "old" version, there is still plenty of fallout to deal with. But the stunning colour makes it worth struggling with. Looks amazing on my brown eyes and I think it would suit any eye colour!
By Mariella 4 years ago.
I have this shadow in the 15th Anniversary palette and I'm so glad to have it (in spite of the impractical packaging). This is such a beautiful shimmery brown with a gorgeous finish that just glows and doesn't have the annoying glitter-bomb fallout that far too many UD shadows have. The even pigmentation means this applies beautifully and easily - great colour payoff. It also blends easily, without loosing all its "oomph". This shade is perfect for autumn but feels right in summer too - that beachy, bronzey glow that is so flattering. I love this all over the lid or as an outer V shadow and smudged under my lower lashes, it is perfect too.

May - July 2008
LeRoy Henderson
Anti-Iraq War Series, Washington D.C.
2005, Gelatin silver print
|"Protest," an exhibition of evocative black and white photographs by LeRoy
Henderson that capture the deep and conflicted emotions of anti-war protests,
will open at the E.M. Bannister Gallery, of Rhode Island College, on May 29th.
The works will remain on view through July 11th.
Henderson, a committed "people-oriented photographer," is showing images from two separate bodies of work and time -- the Vietnam War and the current war in Iraq. Both visual journals reflect his strong interest in documenting human behavior in acts of opposition to warfare. Henderson seeks in his images a common relevance between these two historical conflicts; similarities and differences in the protests against each war are the underpinning of his photographs.
In his quest for directness and authenticity, Henderson has created work that is part research, part inspiration. The two series in the exhibition represent formal documentation of raw emotional truth as recorded the moment Henderson first glimpses it and realizes his own desire to make it into a photographic statement.
His imagery provides a graphic depiction of the broad swell of human energy, and its contagion, as well as close-ups of faces in which a cognitive transition seems to be taking place. Henderson's photographs suggest gatherings of people joined in unanimity with deliberate quiet energy hinting at surety and commitment.
Even though he is shooting and chronicling historical activities, Henderson likes each image to be independent. "I look for good strong images that allow the viewer access to the stages of both world and street theatres," he says.
"Familiar sights and sounds reminiscent of protest during the Vietnam War are now drifting back loud and strong as people protest this war in Iraq," Henderson asserts. "The implication is the same."
Presenting a stark reminder of how the past repeats itself, Henderson says, "we can't see the future but with photographic images we can certainly see the past.
"Hopefully my work is visually engaging as it runs the gamut of time, emotions, ethnicity, gender and age. I want to capture something behind the obvious in the story...evoke allusions that intrigue others' value systems."
Henderson lives and works in New York City. A native of Richmond, Virginia, he received a bachelor's degree from Virginia State University and a master's degree from Pratt Institute. He also attended the School of Visual Arts to study photography and film.
Henderson's work has been shown in many group exhibitions, including Committed to the Image: Contemporary Black Photographers, an exhibition organized by the Brooklyn Museum of Art. He is represented in many public and private collections, including The Brooklyn Museum of Art, The Schomburg Center for Research in Black Culture, New York, and the Harpo Collection, Chicago, Illinois. He shows regularly with the June Kelly Gallery in NYC.
Join the artist in discussing the power of art, specifically his own, in shaping political issues and what in his photographic work moves the public to action. J. Bela Teixeira, independent curator, will moderate the discussion with Henderson at the Bannister Gallery's reception for Protest.
Opening: Thursday, May 29th

Stocks bounced back from yesterday's losses–and it was blue chips like International Business Machines (IBM), Johnson & Jonson (JNJ), Caterpillar (CAT), Merck (MRK) and 3M (MMM) that led the market higher.
The Dow Jones Industrial Average rose 91.19 points, or 0.6%, to 16367.88, while the S&P 500 gained 0.4% to 1865.62. The Nasdaq Composite ticked up 0.2% to 4234.27, while the Russell 2000 ticked down 0.02% to 1178.05.
The Dow was led higher by International Business Machines, which rose 3.6% to $195.04 amid talks of acquisitions and partnerships, while Johnson & Jonson gained 2.3% to $97.38 and Caterpillar advanced 1.8% to $98.59 despite preparing to defend its offshore tax strategies. Merck rose 2.6% to $55.19 as multiple bidders emerged for its consumer-health unit and 3M gained 1.2% to $134.06.
Stocks got a boost from a stronger-than-expected consumer-confidence reading–the Conference Board's measure rose to 82.3, above for forecasts of 76 and the highest since 2008–and ignored weaker-than-forecast new-home sales. Capital Economics expects consumers to become even more confident:
The rebound in the Conference Board measure of consumer confidence…reflects mainly a reversal of the weather effects from a month ago. With equity prices close to record highs and labour market conditions strengthening, confidence could climb further in the coming months…The entire increase in the headline index was due to a sharp rebound in the expectations index to 83.5, from 76.5. Although this index is by no means a great predictor of actual spending, at this level it is consistent with annualised first-quarter consumption growth of close to the fourth-quarter's 2.6%. It bodes well for the start of the second quarter too.
Credit Suisse strategist Andrew Garthwaite and team recommend investors cut back their overweights positions in stocks. They explain why:
■ China remains our biggest global macro concern, but only sub-5% GDP growth would lead us to underweight equities. We think this is unlikely unless Chinese property prices fall sharply or there are deposit outflows;
■ Macro momentum appears to have peaked, but we think global GDP growth is set to plateau from here (rather than decelerate) and equities appear already to have discounted the rollover in ISM and macro surprises;
■ A slightly more hawkish Fed: markets typically do not correct until six months before the first rate hike or three to four weeks after the end of QE. This implies late Q4 is the problematic time for equities. The ECB and BoJ might be more dovish than consensus expects;
■ Global liquidity conditions have become less supportive but OECD excess liquidity is still consistent with a modest re-rating of equities;
■ Earnings revisions are at a one-year low, but we still expect EPS growth of 8.5% in the US and 12.5% in Europe;
■ Valuations: the gap between the US earnings yield and the 10-year US government bond yield has fallen to a four-year low. However, the ERP, at 5.1%, is still above our target of 4.5% and we think it can eventually fall below 4%. Furthermore, the equity earnings yield is still abnormally attractive relative to the junk bond yield;
■ Russia: we believe that it is not in Russia's economic interest to escalate the crisis in Ukraine.
That's a whole lotta worry.

Cabomba plant dying, Please Help!
I have some Cabomba Green (Cabomba carolina) that I put in my 10-gal Hagan Fluval Edge aquarium 1.5 months ago (their standard 44 LED light). Until 4 days ago, they were doing GREAT. They grew so quickly, I had to cut them and replant the cuttings.
Now, they all appear to be dying. They are slowly turning darker green to brown (they used to be a really vibrant green). The leaves are folding up and some are falling off. The worse bunch of leaves appears to have a little web of algae on it too.
Most recent tank events:
(1) I did a 50% water change 2 weeks ago (using filtered water AND added water conditioner)
(2) About 1.5 weeks ago, I killed a bunch of snails (25+) that had come with the plants (these or others I got on the same shipment). When I killed the snails, I smashed them and then pulled out the bodies with a paper towel. However, about a week later, I noticed 6-8 very small (.5mm thick, 5-8mm long) white worms on the back glass. They slowly got bigger. From what I can tell, they might be planaria.
It was 2-3 days after I noticed the worms that my Babomba Green started dying. Any ideas?
Last night, I did another 50% water change (hoping to get rid of the worms and help the plants).
Aquarium details:
No fish, just 4-5 different types of plants, 2-5 stems each
water check showed
PH: 8.0 (pretty standard for me, can't seem to get it lower, probably same as it's been for months)
Ammonia: 0 ppm (checked 2 weeks ago and again 2 days ago)
Nitrite 0 ppm (same two checks)
Nitrate 5ppm 2 days ago; 2 weeks ago it was 40-80ppm which is why I did the 50% water change with gravel vac
I have CaribSea's "Eco-Complete Plant Substrate" in there. It's been there since October (when I opened the new bag). It's about 2 inches deep.
For extra CO2 I dose daily with small amounts of Flourish Excel.
Snail note: I'm not sure it matters, but the snails I killed off were small, mostly translucent, and moved in a continuous gliding fashion. I did not kill off my 3-4 trumpet snails (which inch around, moving more in steps than the other kind). I now have one big trumpet snail (1 to 1.5 inch long) and probably 6-8 smaller ones (some are just big enough to see).
Here ya go.

Have you been dosing any ferts? Eco Complete, like Flourite, is pretty lacking in nutrients and should be supplemented with additional fertilizers.
Also, what Lady Hobbs said. Excel can be deadly to certain plants.

No, I didn't think I needed to add any "nutrients." I thought that's what Eco Complete was for. So you think I should add fluorite? Anything else? Do your recommend any particular product or website?
It's hard to imagine it is the Flourish Excel or the light. I've had them since Dec 15 and they grew faster than any of the other (5 different types of) plants. I had to keep cutting them halfway and replanting them somewhere else in the tank (so my original 5 stems quickly became 8 or 9). They grow roots like mad too. So when I cut them, I just cut below some recent root growth (which appears to happen anywhere along the column) and then replant that.
Anyway, they did well for 1.5 months with my lighting, the Excel, and my substrate. But if they've used up their fluorite, that could be it.
I'm not entirely convinced unless you vaccuum really well. I've seen cambomba do fairly well in the gravel in a fish bowl. They can get enough nutrients from fish poop to struggle by at least. A sudden decline is usually related to a sudden change. Any change you accidently overdosed the excel? Or dosed it twice on a day?My 33 gallon/125 liter tank. My photography on flickr.

10.17: History of Mesozoic Life
If you wound up in the Mesozoic would you recognize Earth?
So if you woke up in the Paleozoic, you probably wouldn't recognize Earth. How about if you woke up in the Mesozoic? In some ways, the planet would look a lot more like it does today. Animals would fill the niches you're used to seeing animals fill. But if you looked closely, you'd see that the animals are mostly all reptiles. And some of them may be interested in having you for dinner!
Mesozoic Life
With most niches available after the mass extinction, a great diversity of organisms evolved. Mostly these niches were filled with reptiles.
Climate alternated between cool, warm, and tropical, but overall the planet was much warmer than today. These conditions were good for reptiles. Surprisingly, there was more oxygen in the Mesozoic atmosphere than there is today.
Marine Life
Tiny phytoplankton arose to become the base of the marine food web. At the beginning of the Mesozoic, Pangaea began to break apart, so more beaches and continental shelf areas were available for colonization by new species of marine organisms. Marine reptiles colonized the seas and diversified. Some became huge, filling the niches that are filled by large marine mammals today.
Terrestrial Life
On land, seed plants and trees diversified and spread widely. Lush forests covered much of the land, especially at higher altitudes. Flowering plants evolved during the Cretaceous (Figure below).
The earliest known fossil of a flowering plant is this 125 million year old Cretaceous fossil.
Of course the most famous Mesozoic reptiles were the dinosaurs. Dinosaurs reigned for 160 million years and had tremendous numbers and diversity. Species of dinosaurs filled all the niches that are currently filled by mammals. Dinosaurs were plant eaters, meat eaters, bipedal, quadrupedal, endothermic (warm-blooded), exothermic (cold-blooded), enormous, small, and some could swim or fly.
Some examples of Mesozoic dinosaurs include the Ornithopods. Pictured far left: Camptosaurus, left: Iguanodon, center background: Shantungosaurus, center foreground: Dryosaurus, right: Corythosaurus, far right (small): Heterodontosaurus, far right (large) Tenontosaurus.
Scientists now think that some dinosaurs were endotherms (warm-blooded) due to the evidence that has been collected over the decades. There are still some scientists who do not agree, but the amount of evidence makes it likely. Some dinosaurs lived in polar regions where animals that needed sunlight for warmth could not survive in winter. Dinosaurs bones had canals, similar to those of birds, indicating that they grew fast and were very active. Fast growth usually indicates an active metabolism typical of endotherms. Dinosaurs had erect posture and large brains, both correlated with endothermy.
An interesting look at the points for dinosaur endothermy is seen here: http://www.ucmp.berkeley.edu/diapsids/endothermy.html.
Rise of the Mammals
Mammals appeared near the end of the Triassic, but the Mesozoic is known as the age of the reptiles. In a great advance over amphibians, which must live near water, reptiles developed adaptations for living away from water. Their thick skin keeps them from drying out, and the evolution of the amniote egg allowed them to lay their eggs on dry land. The amniote egg has a shell and contains all the nutrients and water required for the developing embryo.
Amniotic egg containing a tortoise hatchling.
Cretaceous Mass Extinction
Between the Mesozoic and the Cenozoic, 65 million years ago, about 50% of all animal species, including the dinosaurs, became extinct. Although there are other hypotheses, most scientists think that this mass extinction took place when a giant meteorite struck Earth with the energy of the most powerful nuclear weapon (Figure below).
An artist's painting of the impact that caused the Cretaceous extinctions.
The impact kicked up a massive dust cloud, and when the particles rained back onto the surface they heated the atmosphere until it became as hot as a kitchen oven. Animals roasted. Dust that remained in the atmosphere blocked sunlight for a year or more, causing a deep freeze and temporarily ending photosynthesis. Sulfur from the impact mixed with water in the atmosphere to form acid rain, which dissolved the shells of the tiny marine plankton that form the base of the food chain. With little food being produced by land plants and plankton, animals starved. Carbon dioxide was also released from the impact and eventually caused global warming. Life forms could not survive the dramatic temperature swings.
You may be surprised to know that dinosaurs in one form survived the mass extinctions and live all over the world today. Birds evolved from theropod dinosaurs, and these creatures not only survived the asteroid impact and its aftermath, but they have also diversified into some of the most fantastic creatures we know (Figure below).
Archeopteryx, the earliest known bird, lived during the late Jurassic.
- Phytoplankton evolved to become the base of the marine food web.
- In the Mesozoic dinosaurs filled the niches that mammals fill today.
- Life of the Mesozoic appears to have ended with a giant asteroid impact.

Even without expiration of the Bush tax cuts, those over $200,000 will be paying more taxes. The way things are structured, this will also affect wealthier retirees and the self-employed (who already pay both sides of their Medicare contribution).
The details are pretty complex (just like the rest of the Tax Code!)
Not sure if I've got this right, but if people move their investments that are subject to capital gains (like stock) to tax-exempt or tax-deferred vehicles, then 2012 tax year revenues (generated by that move) may look good, but would be much less in 2013. If a lot of people sell stock, won't the stock market take an unexpected hit?
If people move investments from regular IRAs to Roth IRAs, a similar situation would develop. They might pay some taxes now due to the move to a Roth, but the regular IRAs would have been tax revenues in the future.
It doesn't mention anything about indexing these figures for COL or inflation. While we don't have high inflation now (hah! rhetorically speaking!), that could change in a few years.
I'm a little stunned by the total possible tax rate of 43+% since that doesn't include other state and/or local taxes, and sales taxes. Big cities like NY, Philadelphia, Pittsburgh have an additional sales tax on top of their states' sales taxes. Would this encourage more people to continue to flee cities ... except for the $ million+ earners?
Probably more complex stuff in there that is over my head.

This new york times bestselling series has a multitude of great characters. But all i want is Jacen Solo, Jaina Solo, and Anakin Solo in their prime as Jedi Knights and Tsavong La Warmaster and a Yuuzhan Vong warrior. This would be one of my oldest wishes granted and many other star wars fans.

text: So. I wanted to get around the city and look for cheap bikes today. Instead, I got flat tyre and spent entire time I had allocated on first attempting to fix it, and then getting new one and changin it. Ghrr. Also, the laptop I'm using right now has danish keyboard, in small notebookish layout to that. And some genious invented having "Fn" key instead of Ctrl, and Ctrl slightly to the right. So I need to aim to the right when I want to hit Ctrl-Backspace, which often results in Alt-Backspace instead. Which for some reason means "delete everything" in IE (yeah, I'll be installing FF ASAP here). So first half of this post has been already typed in 3 times. Yay for great ideas. Now I need to finish before I run out of battery juice, because I have the laptop, I have the power adaptor, but I don't have cable to connect that adaptor to the mains :>

We have countless threads on the future of Jeff Ireland, while we also have a few as always on the future of the Fins logo. Both subjects bring much trepidation as well as emotion from the fan base. Finheaven member TheJetsBlow actually gave me an idea: what if Mike Dee ran the draft and Jeff Ireland redesigned the logo? Could things actually be much worse? Probably not.
So for this thread, let's see what your best idea of what the logo would look like if Jeff Ireland had full logo design authority. Use your imagination and creativity counts. Art skills are a plus.
I will pick a winner and the winner will get something cool. Not sure what yet, but it will be cool and will be totally free. I am thinking free Sunday Ticket next year by way of user name and password, using the online option for Sunday ticket viewing. As a 15 year subscriber, I will gladly share this online option with the winner.
The logos will be judged by:
artwork/Internet picture photoshop abilities/etc
best fit/applicability
Good luck! Let's just say the contest ends the second the actual redesigned logo is released....

Hydrocele repair is surgery to correct the swelling of the
Baby boys sometimes have a hydrocele at birth. Hydroceles also occur in older boys and men. Sometimes they form when there is also a hernia (an abnormal bulging of tissue) present. Hydroceles are fairly common.
Surgery to repair a hydrocele is often done at an outpatient clinic, not a hospital. The patient will receive general anesthesia and will be asleep and pain-free during the procedure.
In a baby or child:
In adults, the cut is usually made on the scrotum. The surgeon then drains the fluid after removing part of the hydrocele sac.
Hydroceles often go away on their own in children, but not in adults. Most hydroceles in infants will go away by the time they are 2 years old.
Your surgeon may recommend hydrocele repair if the hydrocele:
It may also be done if there is a hernia.
Risks for any anesthesia are:
Risks for any surgery are:
An anesthesiologist is a doctor who specializes in pain control and giving pain medicines. He or she will talk with you about your or your child's medical history. This information helps the doctor choose the type and amount of anesthesia to use.
Always tell your doctor or nurse what drugs you are taking, even drugs, supplements, or herbs you bought without a prescription. Also tell your doctor if you have any drug allergies or if you have had bleeding problems in the past.
Several days before surgery, adults may be asked to stop taking aspirin or other drugs that affect blood clotting. These include ibuprofen (Motrin, Advil), naproxen (Naprosyn, Aleve), some herbal supplements, and others.
You or your child may be asked to stop eating and drinking at least 6 hours before the procedure.
Take the medicines your doctor told you take with a small sip of water.
Patients usually recover quickly. Most can go home a few hours after surgery. Children should take it easy and rest more than usual the first few days after surgery. Normal activity can usually start again in about 4 to 7 days.
The success rate for hydrocele repair is very high. The long-term prognosis is excellent, but another hydrocele may form over time, or if there was also a hernia present.

Glory Mentioned in Latest WON Poll
- Written by Dave Walsh
If you are curious where the biggest Kickboxing promotion in the world stands right now, this might help provide some idea as to how Glory is viewed by the non-hardcore Kickboxing public. The Wrestling Observer Newsletter, run by Dave Meltzer and Bryan Alvarez has been around for a very long time, starting out as simply a sounding board for everything and anything professional wrestling. Over the years Meltzer has shifted to covering fight sports more and more, to the point where his newsletter and news is pretty split between the UFC and WWE coverage.
So one of the latest WON polls asked the question; Which promotion do you find most interesting right now? The top promotions are pretty much what you'd expect from the audience, but surprisingly enough, there was some Kickboxing represented on the list, although it is the lowest one on the list and only accounted for 0.5%, tying with Pro Wrestling NOAH in Japan, who have all-but fallen off the map for pro wrestling in Japan.
WWE came in a 29.8%, UFC at 22.1%, New Japan Pro Wrestling at 18.9%, TNA at 16% and then there is a rather steep dropoff.
What is interesting is that Glory made the list, yet K-1 did not. While those numbers aren't fantastic for Glory, at least their name is somewhat being mentioned, right? As for K-1, that is pretty rough.

....if we can get any sponsors.
OK! The GUADEC2 is on the way, and we (kanikus, me and some other dudes) are working hard to get it all ready before it's too late... Our biggest problem is to get Sponsors, so if you know any companies that would like to sponsor us (all the money goes to travel expenses for the hackers, hotel expenses, room reservations, posters etc.) then please contact us at email@example.com or on the guadec list at gnome.org.
I have changed school, so now in studying to become an Computer science engenier. Actually it's not that big a change, because its only a mater of how my schedule is being made and how many years it takes to finish.
Anyway! it gives me the opputunity to have classes like "how to make Linux Device drivers" or "advanced Database programming" or "GUI development for the industry".
I have been working on some small projects........My Dream about making a MP3 jukebox is finally realized -and it realy rocks. It is build-in into a closet, and it streams music to a bounch of people on my dorm. I have a small lcd display in the wall showing info about the music, numbers of listners etc. Finally theres a nice webinterface, where you can make individual playlists (it makes a new stream for each playlist), vote for songs, download the songs and ofcause do the normal play stop and forward reward stuff.
I have also started making my own hompage again (family stuff etc.) and a projects site (www.linuxia.dk when it comes up). This takes a while though, because I have to work alot besides school, and that doesnt give me much spare time.

I'm going to assume everything has been discussed in this enormous thread, but I think I missed the discussion on the Faith Militant. What role are they going to play in the future? GRRM started setting up their story at the beginning of AFFC. They have to be a big part of the next two books.
Imagine a secret raven sent throughout the realm directing the Septas and Septons to assassinate high born Westorosi in an attempt to save the faith. The implications are fun to think about.
Imagine if GRRM was upset with how widely accepted r+l=j is and just made it not true
I'm probably more intrigued about how the Maesters are going to play into this vs. the High Septon and Co.
This. The High Septon will prove to be troublesome, but is not a major player IMO. The Maesters are just way to sneaky. It is said that Maesters throw away their real name, but someone (think Lady Dustin?) says they believe they stay loyal to their houses. Would be a nice twist if all the High Maesters are inclined to one particular house and wreck shite across the realm in order to better serve that particular agenda.

Everyone is looking to save, but using coupons that are fake is not the way to do so. Using a coupon that was not made by the manufacturer can land you in jail and with thousands of dollars in fines. Coupon fraud is quickly becoming a hot trend, but don't jump the band wagon unless you are ready to suffer some very serious consequences.
Even if you were unaware of a coupon being a fake and use it at your local store, you can still serve jail time and pay huge fines, so be careful of where you get your coupons. I tend to only use coupons from my local Sunday Newspaper and from the printable coupon sites that I have used and trusted for years- Coupons.com, RedPlum, Coupon Network or SmartSource.
Here are a few tips to spotting a fake coupon….
- You are able to print multiples of the same coupon– most legitimate printable coupon sites will only allow you to print 2 from the same computer. Getting an email with a sheet full of coupons to print or a PDF file of a coupon should tell you right away this coupon is not legit.
- The deal is too good to be true– if the coupon is making an item completely FREE before it is even on sale, is a good sign it's not legit.
- It expires months or even years from now– most coupons are only good just a few weeks. So when you get a coupon that expires several months from now or even years, you know it is a fake.
Here is the latest fake coupon…..
Manufacturer: Unilever
Brand: Axe
Item: On any one (1)
Value: $5
Expires: 12/31/2011
Bar Code: none listed

Symposium explores contemporary Chinese art
Posted February 12, 2009; 12:15 a.m.
Six artists whose works will be on view in an upcoming exhibition at the Princeton University Art Museum are among the featured speakers in a symposium on Chinese contemporary art scheduled for 9 a.m. to 5:30 p.m. Saturday, March 7, in McCosh 50.
The symposium, "ARTiculations," was organized in conjunction with the March 7 opening of the exhibition "Outside In: Chinese x American x Contemporary Art" at the art museum. Speakers will include the artists Arnold Chang, Vannessa Tran, Michael Cherney, Zhi Lin, Liu Dan and Zhang Hongtu, along with the curators of the exhibition and experts on contemporary Chinese and American art.
The six artists all are U.S. citizens. Some are immigrants, some were born in America, some are ethnically Chinese and others have simply adopted Chinese art and culture as their own. They are widely diverse in terms of the style and subject matter of their art, as well as their age and experience, and geographical and ethnic origins. The symposium will provide a forum for the artists and other speakers to challenge perceptions and biases about what is "Chinese," what is "American" and what is "contemporary" art.
The symposium is open to the public, but anyone interested in attending must register by Friday, Feb. 20. For registration information and the event schedule, visit the symposium website.
The event is sponsored by the Tang Center for East Asian Art and the Princeton University Art Museum.

Last week we learned that both Madonna and Britney Spears would be featured on 2 different covers of the inaugural Ladies We Love issue of Out magazine and also last week got to check out Britney's HOT Out magazine photospread. Today we get our first look at Madonna's appearance in the magazine as Out releases a teaser photo of one of the "previously unseen" photos of Madonna that the magazine will publish in their special issue of their magazine.
Almost three decades ago, and a year before her first album was released, a then-unknown Madonna invited Richard Corman to photograph her in and around her New York City walk-up. The pictures he took that day, unpublished until now, capture the energy and vitality of a woman destined to become a legend. Check out this sneak peek of Madonna on the cover of our April "Ladies We Love" issue and then come back to Out.com on Monday, March 14 at 11am ET to see the full cover, all of the never-before-published photos, and to read Corman's personal account of shooting Madonna in 1982.
Oh yeah, I am very excited to see these "unseen" Madonna photos. I love old skool Maddy. It seems too coincidental that this vintage photo of Madonna looks very much like the pose that Britney is using in her new Out magazine photo. I'm guessing the classic Madonna photos (well, at least this one) was used as inspiration for Britney's shoot. And speaking of Britney's Out spread, a new unseen "web exclusive" outtake photo — or Out-take photo — has been released:
It's cute!! I hope we get to see more outtakes from this hot shoot. Apparently we'll be seeing the new old Madonna photos tomorrow. I'm excited, are you?

Free personalized radio that
plays the music you love
Timo Maas
Maas' first exposure to music came via listening to the radio when he was young. He bought his first record when he was nine and his first pair of turntables when he was 17. His earlier gigs were around Germany playing mostly Top 40 records at bars, sneaking in the occasional techno record. In 1982 he played his first real official set in the basement of a friend's house at a party and was booked a lengthy six years later for his first official all-techno gig. He was introduced to the rave scene in 1992, in its early German days, through a booking at an Easter rave. Following were a long string of big rave events and local exposure. The production bug first bit Maas in the early '80s, but his first record, "The Final XS," was not released until 1995. Called cheesy by Maas himself, the record did not do very well in most markets. Shortly after, he teamed with producer Gary D on the more successful "Die Herdplatte" record. Gary D also landed Maas a residency at one of Hamburg's better-known clubs, Tunnel, from 1994 to 1996.
Connections in England later brought Maas to the Bristol-based progressive house club Lakota and the label Hope Recordings. During 1996-97, he released singles through labels including Hope, Lakota, Phuture Wax, and UK44, as well as an album under his Orinoko moniker. He also recorded with manager and mate Leon Alexander under Mad Dogs and Englishmen. In 2000, Timo Maas took a residency at the New York City mega-club Twilo with colleagues Deep Dish. Following the massive success of his Azzido Da Bass remix "Dooms Night" and his own track "Ubik," Maas released 2000's Music for the Maases, a mix album largely composed of his own productions and remixes. After one more mix album, Connected, his production debut Loud appeared in early 2002. ~ Diana Potts

Special occasions call for extraordinary soups like this rich and creamy shrimp bisque.
Cooked shrimp works great in this recipe, too. Just add the shrimp to the bisque and simmer until heated through.
If you use cooked shrimp, reserve 8 shrimp and tie a chive around each shrimp for an extra-special garnish.
As you dish up the soup, sprinkle chopped fresh basil leaves and a little freshly shredded Parmesan cheese on each serving.

The Last Frontier of Free Viewing
Albuquerque's autumn horizon is typically dotted with hot air balloons, and for the eight special days of the International Balloon Fiesta, it looks like an oversized gumball machine busted open in the sky. It's worth attending at least one Mass Ascension in your lifetime. Watching a field of deflated orbs slowly come to life and launch into the sunrise is an experience like nothing else on Earth.
Still, there are undeniable drawbacks to the pre-dawn ritual. There's simply no way to beat the equally spectacular Balloon Fiesta traffic no matter how early you get up. You also have to pay $10 to park a significant distance from the field, before shelling over more money for admission and getting swallowed by a sea of humanity. Sure, all of that is part of the experience. But when an exercise in large-scale human togetherness doesn't fit the mood of your morning, it's still possible to enjoy the balloons without the claustrophobia and Porta-Potty lines.
If you've already been to the Balloon Fiesta Park and want to observe takeoffs without the surrounding throngs of people, there are a few dwindling open spaces where you can watch for free. They're close enough to the main event that you can see groups of balloons take off before they disperse over the city. With a little planning, some favorable winds and a couple of lawn chairs, you can find a little piece of aviation heaven in one of these free spots. Wait patiently, and you might even have a balloon touch down right beside you.
Southern Sandoval County Arroyo Flood Control Basin
Feeling that early autumn chill in the air? If you park on Eileen Road off Meadowlark facing due east, you can sit warm and cozy in your vehicle and not miss any of the excitement. The length of Meadowlark Road is well-elevated with plenty of beautiful overlooks of the river basin—which also makes it an ideal location for scoping the evening Balloon Glows™ and fireworks displays.
Second Street, North of Alameda
If you can see the roof of the Balloon Museum, then you'll be able to watch the inflations and takeoffs in the adjoining field. The stretch of Second Street near the city limits is close to the action but just on the fringe of bumper-to-bumper traffic. There's plenty of roadside parking (if they don't put signs up forbidding it—watch out for those). If parking is prohibited, just drive to the west side of the irrigation ditch. This is usually a quiet area with no one to hassle you for staking out a viewing spot if you're quiet and respectful of the surrounding private property.
San Pedro, North of Alameda
You'll find other unobstructed vistas of the morning sky close to the Fiesta Park along the east side of I-25. However, securing a view on the Frontage Road from Paseo Del Norte north to Alameda can be a gamble with heavy traffic. Try picking up San Pedro off Paseo Del Norte, and head north to Florence, just past Alameda. Because of the high density of recent development in this area and the difficulty of finding parking on Tramway, this is probably the closest you can get without heading further east. But San Pedro is generally calm and not heavily traveled. There may be some low-lying buildings to peer around, but you should be able to get a clear visual of the horizon close to the balloons' takeoff point.
Market Place at Journal Center
The next stop on our free-range viewing tour also offers the potential for crossing paths with a balloon crew. Located just south of Paseo Del Norte, Market Place at Journal Center has convenient access and skirts traffic if you use the Osuna entrance. If the breeze is in your favor, the balloons will drift south right over your head. An added bonus at this location are the many nearby early morning breakfast joints where you can grab a bagel or burrito. The parking lot is especially festive on Balloon Fiesta Saturday mornings when car enthusiasts gather to show off their autos and talk motors over hot coffee.
Blue Sky Business Park
Make your way to El Pueblo near the Journal Center office park between Jefferson and Edith, and turn south when you see the Blue Sky Business Park sign. Follow the short jog to the end. There you'll find yourself in one of the few open spaces left in the area. This makes it a popular southern landing spot, directly in line with Balloon Fiesta Park. Pull on your mittens, set up your lawn chair and wait for the balloons to drift your way. This whole part of town has great viewing potential, but this peaceful little street puts you right in the path of balloons and provides a nice clear view.
North Valley
Prefer a panorama with some greenery? Try the Rio Grande parking lot alongside the Paseo Del Norte overpass. If you've brought your bike along, you can pick up the scenic Bosque trail, and cruise along with balloons floating above you.

Future generations must not bear debt burden - Phillips
MINISTER of Finance and Planning Dr Peter Phillips says the Government's economic imperative is to reduce the debt burden and put the country on a solid path for future generations.
He stated that measures such as the Public Debt Management Act, which was passed in the House of Representatives recently, will ensure that "no future generations of Jamaicans will ever have to walk this way again and bear the burden of the kind of debt that has set us back over the past decades."
"Your Government is pursuing every avenue to ensure that generations to come will have a firmer economic foundation than the one that now exists, and we are confident on the course we are following," Dr Phillips stated.
He was addressing the third in a series of parish fora organised by the Social Development Commission (SDC) which was held yesterday at the West Jamaica Conference Centre in Mount Salem, St James.
The Finance Minister said that part of the programme is to ensure that meaningful growth takes place in the economy, noting that focus will be placed on key growth sectors such as Information Communication Technology (ICT).
He said that through US$20 million, which was added to an existing programme in March, the sector will be delivering scores of jobs for young people by year-end, and it is projected to continue on a growth path.
"We believe there is a tremendous future for Jamaica in the ICT field," Dr Phillips said.
He acknowledged that measures put in place to relive the debt, including passing a credible budget "has been tough for some Jamaicans", but noted that provisions have been made for the most vulnerable in the society.
"We expanded PATH (Programme for Advancement Through Health and Education), provided $4. 2 billion for the Jamaica Emergency Employment Programme (JEEP), over $2 billion for small business development, and support in that budget," the minister said.
He assured that the Government will continue to provide the public with relevant information on vital issues. "We are committed to the principle of openness and transparency," he stated.

©2005 Laura Whitcomb; (P)2006 Random House, Inc. Listening Library, an imprint of the Random House Audio Publishing Company
"The author's poetic prose, capturing the spirit and sorrow of the two unearthly protagonists, will likely have a mesmerizing effect." (Publishers Weekly)
"Whitcomb writes with a grace that befits Helen's more modulated world while depicting contemporary society with sharp insight." (School Library Journal)
In pursuit of truth, justice, and an end to spoilers!
"Lovely, unusual ghost story"
A Certain Slant of Light is a different slant on a ghost story, and I really enjoyed watching the way it progressed. The two main characters are ghosts looking in on the living world, at first experiencing it without being noticed and later going unnoticed for what they really are. The prose is lovely and elegant, the story emotional, and once I got into this it was hard to stop listening. The story felt fully fleshed out, and yet I was left wanting a bit more at the end. That's probably a mark of a great book but for myself I would have prefered just a little bit more info in a couple areas, but overall this was a great listen!
This is very much a love story, so be warned to expect a bit of mush. I found that part of the plot a bit rushed, not in terms of pacing but for the characters, and there were several times I found myself aghast at the lack of foresight shown by the main characters in some ways. Let's just say that not all ghosts haunt Girl Scout meetings, where we were taught to tread through the forest so as to leave as little damage as possible! That's a thought that was with me pretty much throughout the whole book!
This is listed as a young adult novel, but it's one of the most adult ones I've come across and I wouldn't think of limiting this to a teenage audience. This is not at all a kiddie story. There's a good bit of sexual content, which, although never crude, might be something for which parents might want to prescreen for younger teens.
The narrator is just right for the part. She perfectly captures the hushed urgency of the gentle-souled Helen, a ghost desperate to communicate yet terrified of notice.
Fantasy & Sci-Fi lover who mostly refuses to read books without their audiobook counterparts. How else can a girl get any housework done?
"Beautiful Story!"
This is one of the best audiobooks I have listened to! Once I started, I went straight through, not stopping until I was done. No joke! Laura Whitcomb did a superb job with this story. I thought the narrator was spot on; her sweet and harmless demenor was a perfect portrayal of Helen. I didn't expect this story to tug at my heart strings, but it sure did. It is such a beautiful story and I would definitely recommend it. It was 100% worth the credit point. =)
"I never stopped listening"
This book had depth I did not expect. It is a fantastic love story about death, living, and forgiveness. It seems a bit too mature for teenagers, to me. The sex in the book is not overly explicit or in bad taste, though. It reminded me a little of the Twilight books. The charecters were emotionaly very mature and noble, with some old fashioned type vaules.
The narrators voice and style were perfect. All around an awesome book. I sure wish there were more like this. I wonder if this author has any other treasures in her future.
"WOW!!!!! Mesmerizing."
I cannot brag enough about this book. It got me by surprise actually. Read the synopsis and thought...looks like a good story. Little did I know I would be soooo caught up and mesmerized with this book. Totally obsessed with it. Went thru it in a day. AMAZING!!! You wont be disappointed at all. Great love story. Lots of suspense. LOVED IT!!!!!! Want more like this one. :)
I'm a voracious audiobook listener, rarely found without my iPod.
"A ghost story."
I love a good ghost story! This book tells the tale of a ghost who, as she haunts a school teacher, discovers another ghost inhabiting one of the students. She hasn't seen this before...a ghost that could reside in the body of a live human. She has only followed her teacher and is very intrigued by this other spirit. The two spirits are drawn to each other and over time find a way to live out their love stories by inhabiting bodies of the living. The humans they inhabit are not living good lives, so the story makes you think about the morality of possessing a living person, taking life from them.
The story has a dark side and is edgier than I expected. A good YA read with some sexual and drug-related incidences...not for younger kids...
"Entertaining Book"
Pleasantly surprised. I really enjoyed this book. Well written, unpredictable and imaginitive.
"Ghostly love story"
This was not the most intriguing story I have ever read, it did drag slowly for me in a few areas but wading through was worth it in the end. An experience from the view of the ghost is a different outlook and interesting.
The two souls do find each other and is sweet and heartwarming in their relationship.
The ending wrapped this story up in a wonderful way and reading this book to get to the finale was well worth it. Joyful relief and long awaited answers for our ghost heroine are her rewards. It left me with a happy heart.
Lauren Malina's delivery of this novel is gracefully given with the spirit of the muse who possessed Laura Whitcomb inspiring her to write a novel with such mastery of literary technique that both consumes the reader's senses and invoke breathless anticipation for each proceeding word.
The subject matter is intriguing, giving a fresh and original glance at the possibilities of the spirit world, the possibilities of life and relationships, and that of belief in the ever after.
This novel is a treasure.
I am a book junkie...I read and enjoy a variety of stories, so please don't "define me" by one book or review! :)
"Interesting, ghostly love story"
This is a well written, unusual take on a "paranormal" love story. I found it engrossing and entertaining while I listened, throughout the course of the story. The narrator uses the softer range of her voice, which suits the ghotsly aspect of the main character and the story, ..though some listeners may find it a little too relaxing if they usually listen while working out or other more active activities. As other reviewers have noted, it may seem (depending on your taste or perspective) that the two main characters engage in a physical relationship quite quickly, but you have to remember that the people they actually are/(were) are not underage. Parents may want to preview and/or at least have a conversation with preteens or younger teens before enjoying this story. Overall, a very good story with fitting narration.
"A fun read."
Yes I would recommend this book. It wouldn't be one of the first I'd think of to recommend but if someone asked me about it I would say that it's a great rainy day book to curl up with. It's well written and it is a unusual tale to tell. I enjoyed it a lot, but it's not a book that "sticks to your ribs" so to speak. It was fun to read.
I found it similar to "The Lovely Bones" as both are stories told from the perception of the ghost.
I have not listened to anything else by Lauren Molina, so I have nothing to compare it to. I do think she was absolutely perfect for this book. Her voice was soft and haunting and very easy to listen to.
Yes- I really enjoyed spending the time one lazy Saturday listening to this story. I stayed up late into the night to finish it.

Staggs wins American Physical Society award
Posted October 2, 2003; 06:20 p.m.
Suzanne Staggs , associate professor of physics at Princeton, has been named the winner of the Maria Goeppert-Mayer Award from the American Physical Society.
The award is intended to recognize and enhance outstanding achievement by a woman physicist in the early years of her career, and to provide opportunities for her to present these achievements to others through public lectures in the spirit of Goeppert-Mayer, who won the Nobel Prize in Physics in 1963.
The award citation commended Staggs "for her original and lasting contributions to experimental cosmology, in particular in the area of cosmic microwave background studies, and for leadership in multi-institutional collaborations to measure CMB anisotropy."
The study of cosmic microwave background provides scientists with insights into the first moments of the big bang as well as information about how the background radiation was subtly altered as the universe evolved.
Staggs, who joined the faculty in 1996, earned her Ph.D. from Princeton in 1993.
The award consists of a cash prize plus a travel allowance to provide opportunities for Staggs to give lectures at four institutions and at the meeting of the society at which the award is bestowed.

World's Oldest Working Computer Comes Back to Life

(Source: dailymail.co.uk)
The Witch is being unveiled at a ceremony at the National Museum of Computing today
The world's oldest original
working digital computers
has been restored and brought back to life in a UK museum.
The computer, called the Witch (short for Wolverhampton Instrument for Teaching Computation from Harwell), is from the 1950s and was used to replace adding machines.
The Witch was first designed and and built in 1949 to help the UK's Atomic Energy Research Establishment at Harwell in Oxfordshire with calculations. In 1951, the 2.5 tonne computer was ran for the first time. However, at that point, the Witch was called the Harwell Dekatron.
The Harwell Dekatron took up to about 10 seconds to multiply two numbers, and was used about 80 hours per week. But in 1957, smaller and faster computers hit the scene, and the Harwell Dekatron was moved to the Wolverhampton and Staffordshire Technical College to teach programming. This is where it acquired its new name, the Witch.
Later, in 1973, it was donated to Birmingham's Museum of Science and Industry, where it was displayed until 1997 when the museum closed. From there, the Witch was taken apart and stored.
The Witch had been forgotten until a trustee from The National Museum of Computing, named Kevin Murrell, noticed the Witch's control panel in a photograph brought in by another computer conservationist. He recognized the parts after having seen the Witch many times as a teenager.
This led to the restoration effort for the Witch, where it's piece were found in storage and reassembled. After cleaning it up and replacing a few parts, the Witch is alive again. About 480 relays and 828 Dekatron tubes are all original on the computer, making the Witch nearly completely original to its former 1950s self.
The Witch is being unveiled at a ceremony at the National Museum of Computing today.

how can I succeed at being a first class dimwit, if they get rid of the dimwit rating?
the world is so sad I may just have to dissapear.
how can I succeed at being a first class dimwit, if they get rid of the dimwit rating?
the world is so sad I may just have to dissapear.
mdillon does not really qualify for the high honor of dimwit, as it has not put enough energy into creating a dimwit persona. Once again it was Rasumus certfied me that I became an official dimwit, and Rasmus also made mdillon into a dimwit. meta
OK now for all my regulars, whom they are I have no idea. First off if do not want mime clothing and actuall want real gothic clothing I did find a place to shop.
My day of rest went fine. I just played my games with the devil, in the light of day, and watched a movie that should have been a play.
Another dawn broke across the plain in the high mountain desert. Light streamed in the slats in the side of the building. It was spring, most of the snow had melted and it was time for father to make us earn our keep. We marched into the fields and begun clearing the fields of rocks. The stone were still frosty and the cold bit into our hands. We would grab the pieces of ice left over from the winter and stick them in our mouth for water, and spit out the sand and dirt. When noon came tired and sore we walk back to house and mother would fix us our daily meal. Food was good, it breathed strenth back into us and my brothers eyes appeared to come alive. Mother said it was important to eat every day or we would be too weak to work. Brother pursed his lips and nodded his head. Father hung his head and shook it back and forth.
We returned to the fields and and light grey dirt stuck to our bare feet, and caked on to our pants. All of the evenings frost had melted and it was now mudd. We all walked in silence, I staired out at the mountain peaks in the distance and wondered, why they had come here? Why anyone thought this was the land of milk and honey? This was the land of starvation, bleak fields, and bleaker hopes. If there was not enough unrotted seed left in the store, we would not live past summer. Father had said this to mother late at night, so it was true.
Every row of grain, every vegtable had to provide, otherwise our number would shrink once again, and it would be even harder to provide another harvest. It was a couple years ago,when the food had given out. We used to only get to eat every other day, we would sit on the floor and sleep and try to preserve every bit of energy we had. We prayed to God and lay down. We burned the tumble weed for warmth, and we gnawed on the wood for satisfaction.
At one point mother said it was too much. Her eyes had that wild desperate look in them. My big sister and I were sitting curled next to each other by the fire trying to stay warm, trying not to shiver as that made the hurt even worse. Mother came out of the kitchen, grabbed my sister by the shoulder, placed a pan under her head and chopped it off in one swift blow. She scraped the edge of the knife onto the pan to catch all the blood, and proceded to clean my sisters body carefull not to lose a single drop of the sweet blood.
Mom cured the body and fed us for the rest of winter. I got sick that first day on the blood pudding, it was too rich for my stomach, but it tasted so good. And the jerky'd strips of flesh kept us going for months to come. Now the question is who is next. I know we are running low on food again, I don't think we can make it till the harvest, and I am hungery for some meat again.
It is awfully early in the day to be making such a post, I need to get some reading done. grrrr..
Unlike the inference of somepeople if anybody ever ranks me as anything other than dimwit, I will be bitter. People with no real existense with inane open source credentials should be rated as dimwits. Though as far as I can tell I can't really change anyones rank while firmly certified as a dimwit.
So I did get some contributions last night. I think I need to set up a master file somewhere where I have access to a better editor and put a cron job to upload the mis-fortunes file via ftp to the website
So now I need to get some more mime wear, to be really ready for public.
Coming home tired and sore, I fell down among the trash on the floor. Life is bitter, I spend my days working with men who have as much sense of human compassion as my floor, but who use their great brains to schem up ways to cause me harm. I lie on the floor dreaming of respite from the Hell of earth but frightened of Hell's beyond. As exaustion heavily closes my lids I feel the world spin as I hope to pass to sleep.
I awaken to a low knocking noise that comes from the floor. It shakes my body and chatters my teeth with terror. I know not where it comes, but I am afraid to move to find the source. I hear the low moan of some dying animal. I look arround and realize I am the one making such a sound. I crawl to the window and peer out on the darkest night. Every once and a while a cloud will release the moon from its sufficating bondage and release a stream of light upon our dying world. Think light shows down upon the street and the shadows come alive.
From underneath the elm, a shadowed ghoul creeps out and digs into the dirt. The sounds grows lowder the moon is hidenn and .........
This is my first post. I am very bitter today. The world remains a hideous and frightening place, where it is impossible to distinguish the good from the bad, as it is all bad.
I have recently been taken by a cold. My throat hurts, and the my glands are swolen under the chin. I expect that this will get worse.
So my note for today, is.
The World is a dark and dreary place. We pass through life, like little more than wraiths, who feel only the coldness of endless hell and can see but not touch the illusions of beauty from others lives.
