12.10: Nuclear Power
What does an atomic bomb have to do with energy generation?
Splitting atoms releases enormous amounts of energy. To be useful rather than destructive, nuclear power plants must be safeguarded, but this attempt is not always successful.
Nuclear Energy
When the nucleus of an atom is split, it releases a huge amount of energy called nuclear energy. For nuclear energy to be used as a power source, scientists and engineers have learned to split nuclei and to control the release of energy (Figure below).
When struck by a tiny particle, Uranium-235 breaks apart and releases energy.
Nuclear Energy Use
Nuclear power plants, such as the one seen in Figure below, use uranium, which is mined, processed, and then concentrated into fuel rods. When the uranium atoms in the fuel rods are hit by other extremely tiny particles, they split apart. The number of tiny particles allowed to hit the fuel rods needs to be controlled, or they would cause a dangerous explosion. The energy from a nuclear power plant heats water, which creates steam and causes a turbine to spin. The spinning turbine turns a generator, which in turn produces electricity.
Nuclear power plants like this one provide France with almost 80% of its electricity.
Many countries around the world use nuclear energy as a source of electricity. In the United States, a little less than 20% of electricity comes from nuclear energy.
Consequences of Nuclear Power
Nuclear power is clean. It does not pollute the air. However, the use of nuclear energy does create other environmental problems. Uranium must be mined (Figure below). The process of splitting atoms creates radioactive waste, which remains dangerous for thousands or hundreds of thousands of years. As yet, there is no long-term solution for storing this waste.
Uranium mine in Kakadu National Park, Australia.
The development of nuclear power plants has been on hold for three decades. Accidents at Three Mile Island and Chernobyl, Ukraine verified people's worst fears about the dangers of harnessing nuclear power (Figure below).
Damaged building near the site of the Chernobyl disaster.
Recently, nuclear power appeared to be making a comeback as society looked for alternatives to fossil fuels. After all, nuclear power emits no pollutants, including no greenhouse gases. But the 2011 disaster at the Fukushima Daiichi Nuclear Power Plant in Japan may have resulted in a new fear of nuclear power. The cause of the disaster was a 9.0 magnitude earthquake and subsequent tsunami, which compromised the plant. Although a total meltdown was averted, the plant experienced multiple partial meltdowns, core breaches, radiation releases, and cooling failures. The plant is scheduled for a complete cold shutdown before the end of 2011.
Nuclear power is a controversial subject in California and most other places. Nuclear power has no pollutants including carbon emissions, but power plants are not always safe and the long-term disposal of wastes is a problem that has not yet been solved. The future of nuclear power is murky.
- Nuclear energy is released when the nucleus of an atom is split.
- Nuclear power plants use uranium in fuel rods, which later become nuclear waste. Nuclear waste can be dangerous for hundreds of thousands of years.
- Periodic accidents involving nuclear power plants seem to slow down the development of nuclear power in many countries.
- How is nuclear energy generated?
- Since the waste from nuclear power plants is dangerous for up to hundreds of thousands of years, how do you think it should be safeguarded?
- Do you think that the nuclear disaster in Japan in 2011 should affect how nations develop or choose not to develop their nuclear resources? What about nations that are not near a subduction zone?

Chapter 1
The Bungalow
If Kate Carbine had indeed left her heart in San Francisco, it was now approximately 763 miles from where the rest of her body was sitting. Most of Kate was somewhere in Salt Lake City, Utah, driving the kids behind the U-Haul trailer that Martin was steering up the potholed streets toward their new home.
As Kate tried to concentrate on her driving, the children screamed and fought and whimpered in the back seat of the station wagon.
They weren't Kate's children, she knew. Oh, she had carried each one of them inside her for at least nine months (and she would have sworn it was more like fourteen). She remembered birthing them all, too. But sometime, maybe when Kate was asleep after the trauma of childbirth, each of her civilized offspring had been replaced by a barbarian - a child who whined and cried and asked questions and threw up on the sofa and did all the things they never told you about when you were innocently planning your temple wedding.
It must have come from Martin's side of the family.
Kate was almost in tears even before Martin turned the U-Haul onto the street where he had bought a house three weeks ago. When she actually saw the neighborhood, her eyes glazed so that she could barely see the road. Kate was sure she had moved to another planet.
Martin had promised he wouldn't buy a bungalow when he went on the house-hunting trip without Kate. That was Kate's only criterion - more important to her than shopping or schools. As soon as he got off the plane in Oakland, Kate knew from his face that he had let her down. When he didn't even have a picture of the new house to show her, she steeled herself to accept the worst. All he could say in his own defense was that he'd had a feeling this was the house they were supposed to buy. Martin never argued with his feelings, just in case they were inspirations. Once he had a feeling about the bungalow, Kate's misgivings didn't matter anymore.
Kate had never wanted to live in a bungalow. Even the name sounded squalid. It was abbreviated on the realtors' sheets, bung. And that's what the houses looked like - Bung the Circus Elephant, balanced precariously on his two front feet. Purple bricks. White trim. Tiny rooms with no closets. Bungalows were even worse than the split-levels that comprised most of Salt Lake City's recent architecture. At least split-levels had decent bathrooms.
Kate sighed. She knew she should have helped Martin pick out the house. She could hear his voice, with the pedantic tone that drove her crazy, reminding her, "There's a reason we're supposed to live in this house. We just have to find what that reason is."
Looking at the houses on Farley Avenue, Kate didn't care what the reason was. All she saw was that all the houses on the street looked alike. All of them looked like Bung the Circus Elephant. All of them were tiny, one-story structures with a basement. All were built in shades of purple brick and trimmed in coats of white paint that were in various stages of peeling. And Kate would have wagered that not a one of them had any storage space at all.
Finally, at the far end of the block, Martin eased the U-Haul against a curb and turned off the engine. Kate parked the station wagon behind him. Turning off her ignition, she crossed her arms over the steering wheel and warily looked from house to house, wondering which of them was her new home. She finally placed the house by the lawn, whose grass had sprouted a full nine inches before it died, unwatered, in the summer heat.
Martin bounded from the cab of the U-Haul. The spring in his step told Kate he was pretending things were all right. Martin thought he could make any problem disappear by pretending it didn't exist. His smile was as phony as NutraSweet. No, it wasn't a phony smile; Kate had to be honest. It was a hopeful smile. Martin hoped Kate would at least give the new neighborhood a chance.
"This is it!" he boomed, confirming Kate's worst fears.
"I hate it already." To Kate's surprise, the words didn't come from her. She looked in the rear-view mirror at Angela, her oldest child. Angela's face was an eight-year-old mirror of her own. Both Kate and Angela were tired and scared and miserable, and nothing Martin could say would comfort either one of them.
"I think it's neato." Sam, who was seven, thought everything was neato. "Look at all the purple houses!"
"I hate purple," Angela said.
"Well, I like purple," Sam said forcefully. "I bet the Bat Cave is purple."
"I don't want to live in the Bat Cave."
Kate couldn't argue with Angela. She didn't want to live in the Bat Cave, either.
"Which one is ours, Mom?" Sam asked, looking appraisingly at all the identical houses within view.
"The one with the grass," Kate said, trying to sound cheerful. Martin nodded, apparently pleased that Kate was making an effort.
"Neato!" Sam bounded from the car and waded through the dead lawn, looking for bugs in the former grass.
Only Jessie's opinion was left to be heard. When Sam had slammed the car door behind him and the rest of the family was silent, she spoke. Only, Jessie never spoke; she shouted. At three, her body was the smallest in the family, but her voice was the biggest. And she always waited until the world around her was quiet and her shouts would have the most effect.
Kate turned around to Jessie, keeping her face neutral.
Martin looked at his watch, biting his lower lip as if he were gauging the minute and the hour. "Not quite that long, Pumpkin," he said. Martin was always better with the children than Kate was.
"OKAY!" shouted Jessie, apparently satisfied. The car door slammed behind her, and she joined Sam in the grass. Suddenly, Jessie stomped on the sidewalk, landing on a moving object with both feet. Then she knelt to the pavement and inspected the spot she had made.
"WOW!" she said.
Sam ran over to see what made Jessie so excited. "Wow! Neato!"
Jessie stood, balancing herself on sturdy legs. Turning toward the car, she screamed, "MOM! THERE'S NEAT GRASSHOPPERS IN UTAH. IF YOU SQUASH 'EM, THE GUTS ARE BOOGER GREEN."
"That's gross," Angela said. Folding her arms in front of her, she slumped in the back seat of the station wagon.
"At least two of the family don't hate me." Martin said it quietly, and Kate felt immediately guilty.
"I like you, Daddy," Angela said, straightening up again. Martin's job had brought them to Utah, but Angela was only angry with Kate. Angela was always angry with Kate. She and Kate had been adversaries since the day she was born.
"I like you, too." Kate did like Martin. She knew it in spite of Utah. "You did the best you could, Martin. Eventually, we'll get used to it."
"There's a reason for all this," Martin said doggedly.
It was the worst thing he could have said. Kate smiled, a grim smile that wasn't a smile at all. "I know there's a reason," she said. "Maybe we'll find it soon. Then we can move home to California again."
Inside, the new house looked much as Kate expected it to look. The entrance had opened on to the living room, which extended into a dining room that was barely big enough for the dining room table. There were three bedrooms on the main floor, each no larger than her laundry room back in California. Kate thought there might be an advantage to that. She could turn off the light or turn on the television or get clothes from her dresser without ever getting out of bed. At least there wasn't much floor space to vacuum.
The whole family inspected the new house at their own pace. If Martin wanted to act as tour guide, he must have been sorely disappointed. Jessie and Sam skipped the entrance hall altogether and started in the living room. They stayed a room ahead of Martin and Kate and Angela throughout the house. In each room, the comments were the same.
"Neato!" Sam liked every room, and his cheerfulness bounced off empty walls.
"IS THIS ROOM MINE?" Jessie asked it about the living room and the dining room and the den, as well as each of the bedrooms. As far as she was concerned, only one room was important. It didn't matter which room was hers, Kate knew - only that a room was hers. Until the room assignments had been made, Jessie surveyed each room only enough to wonder if she would be sleeping there.
Angela's remarks were also predictable. Lagging behind Martin and even Kate, she only said, over and over, "I hate this house. I want to go back to California." Kate only realized when Martin gave her a look of disgust that she was nodding her head in agreement with each of Angela's complaints.
Finally, Angela found one room that was acceptable. It was the corner room in the rear of the house, next to the bathroom. It was also the master bedroom: Kate could tell because there were two tiny closets along the wall instead of just one. When she saw the room, Angela sat against a wall and folded her arms across her chest. "This room's mine," she announced, looking sullenly down at her folded arms.
To her surprise, Kate didn't get angry with Angela. She only shrugged. "I don't see that this room is much larger than the others," she said. "It just has two closets. If Dad says it's okay, you can have this room."
Angela looked questioningly at Martin, who nodded yes. Angela brightened long enough to give Kate a half smile of gratitude. Smiles were rare from Angela, and Kate leaned over and kissed her on the cheek.
Angela stayed on her new floor, still unready to stop sulking. Everyone else trooped down the stairs to see the basement, and Kate was pleased that the bedroom downstairs was just a little nicer than the one she had sacrificed for Angela. There was even a closet that was bigger than both of the ones in Angela's room. Kate smiled her first real smile of the day. She liked the basement. That was one feature of bungalows that California houses didn't have.
The thing about moving in on a Wednesday was that no men were available to help. In fact, the whole street looked deserted. Children were either off at school or down for their naps; mothers were either away at work or indoors cleaning house; fathers were at the office until nightfall. Kate hoped the Elders Quorum would miraculously appear out of nowhere, ready to unpack the U-Haul while she supervised. But Martin hadn't tracked down the new bishop, and no one knew the Carbines were members of the local ward. Minutes passed, and only an occasional passing car showed there were people living in Salt Lake City.
If Kate hadn't majored in physical therapy in college she would have had an excuse to sit back and let Martin do the work, but years of patterning hydrocephalic children had made her biceps as hard as granite. She suspected she was stronger than Martin, and she knew she had more stamina than he did. Wearily she blew her bangs out of her eyes and started hauling furniture and boxes.
"Dad, when are you going to unload the refrigerator?" Sam asked. Kate and Martin were sitting on the back of the U-Haul, drinking warm 7-Ups from the Coleman cooler. Between sips, Kate held the metal can to her forehead, pretending the aluminum was icy and cold.
"There's no food in the refrigerator," Kate said. "Maybe we'll get a pizza tonight."
"Neato, but when are you going to unload the refrigerator?"
Martin surveyed the contents of the U-Haul. "We'll unload it when we get to it," he said. "See? The sofa's in front of it, and the dishwasher and the love seat. The refrigerator's almost the last thing on the trailer."
"Bummer," Sam said, scowling at the U-Haul. He stood motionless for a moment, as if hoping the refrigerator would move on its own accord. When nothing moved, he shrugged and walked away.
A few minutes later, he was back. "Mom, how long can you breathe in a refrigerator?"
"Not very long," Kate said absently. "Refrigerators aren't made for people."
"I know that. I'm not dumb enough to get in a refrigerator." Sam sounded exasperated. That made Kate raise her eyebrows. Sam was her one child who was usually even-tempered. He trampled down the dead grass into an "S" at his feet. Kate watched him, listening to the dead grass crunch under Sam's neon tennis shoes.
Then, "Mom, if I was littler, could I live in a refrigerator?"
"How much littler?" she asked, playing the game.
"Dog-sized. Or cat-sized. Or frog-sized. If I was frog-sized, how long would I last?"
"Oh, I think you'd last for days and days. Frogs don't use much air at all."
"Neato." Sam rewarded Kate with a grin and skipped away.
Kate took another swig of soft drink, then another. Draining the can, she crushed it and tossed it on the U-Haul. She had never crushed a can in her life, but she thought that people who unloaded moving vans should crush aluminum cans and toss them aside. She felt like an athlete in a beer commercial, although she had drunk her 7-Up instead of just waving the can aloft. Martin watched her and braved a smile. He seemed relieved when she smiled back.
"Little kids ask crazy questions, don't they?" he asked, stretching a kink out of his neck.
She nodded. "He's been fixated on frogs lately. Ever since he found that frog in the yard last weekend, it's been frog this and frog that. He'd never seen a frog before that one."
Kate stood and surveyed the contents of the van, deciding what to move next. If she left the moving to Martin, he would relax in the shade of the U-Haul all afternoon and nothing would ever get unpacked.
Then Martin asked, "What did Sam do with the frog?"
Kate's breath caught in the back of her throat. Dimly she remembered telling Sam of course he couldn't take the frog across the country with him to Utah. She had assumed he had let the frog go. Suddenly, she knew he hadn't.
"I think we'd better unpack the van. Fast." But Martin was moving before the words were out of her mouth. Out came the love seat and the sofa and the dishwasher. Out came the brass headboard and the queen-sized mattress and box springs. Out came box after box after box. Everything was hastily dumped on the lawn instead of being taken inside the house. After each load they were back in the van, picking up another heap of household items to be quickly jettisoned on the grass.
Finally they reached the refrigerator.
"It's still taped shut," Martin called jubilantly as Kate shoved the last carton aside and returned to the back of the U-Haul.
Kate bent over and inspected the refrigerator door. The light was so dim that she confirmed her suspicions by running her fingers over the area. Just as she thought - there were places where her fingertips stuck to the enamel paint. "No," she said finally. "It's been taped again. Feel it? There are sticky marks where the tape used to be."
"Do you want me to open it?" This was Martin talking, the same Martin who had fainted in the delivery room when Angela was born.
"I'll do it." Kate knew she sounded like a martyr, but she felt like a martyr. As soon as the words left her mouth, Martin trotted to the glove compartment and retrieved a flashlight so Kate could see to do the job.
Kate didn't find the frog immediately, but the smell almost knocked her flat on the floor of the U-Haul. Sam must have hidden the frog soon after the refrigerator was loaded on Monday. Yes; Monday was the day Kate had taken the kids to McDonald's for lunch. The remnants of a McDonald's hamburger sat on the middle shelf of the refrigerator, rotting. There was also a jar cap that had probably held water before it sloshed out as the U-Haul rumbled toward Salt Lake City. Judging by the stench, Sam's frog had died roughly thirteen seconds after Sam had shut the refrigerator door and had been busily decomposing ever since.
Then Kate saw the frog. It had expired on the uppermost shelf, and its carcass drooped through the metal bars. The floor of the refrigerator was wet with urine. Frogs peed when they were scared, and they had immense bladders. Kate suspected that Sam's frog had been the Urine King of San Francisco.
"I'm sorry. I have to throw up." Martin sounded apologetic, but Kate couldn't help thinking he was already ten paces away from the source of the smell. He stopped long enough to pick up a box before he jumped down from the U-Haul. Then he disappeared inside the house.
Sighing, Kate returned to the mess in the refrigerator. She was still wondering who was going to clean it out when Sam appeared. As if he knew what had happened in the U-Haul, he stayed outside the van. When he spoke, his voice sounded little and far away.
"Grover's dead, isn't he?"
Kate shut the refrigerator door and left the U-Haul to kneel beside Sam on the grass. "I'm afraid so," she said. "Grover's been dead for several days."
"I left food for him. Water, too." Sam sounded almost angry at Grover; he hadn't expected the frog to die. "You said there was enough air in there." Sam sounded angry with Kate, too.
"This is August, Sam. Maybe the heat killed him."
"I don't care. He shouldn't have died."
"You shouldn't have put him in the refrigerator," Kate said.
"I had to. You wouldn't let me bring him in the car." Before Kate could defend herself, he added, "Grover stinks. I didn't know he'd stink that much. I've never smelled anything that stinked as much as Grover." Under the mournful expression, Kate detected a glimmer of pride.
"Tell you what," she said. "If you'll help me find the Lysol in one of these boxes, I'll clean up Grover and your Dad will take you all out for ice cream. Is that okay?"
"I'd rather have Grover," Sam said.
"I promise you - you don't want Grover the way he is now. Go get some ice cream with your Dad. When you come back, we'll have a froggie funeral."
"Neato." Sam ran off to find the Lysol. Already, the pain of Grover's death was dimming.
Cleaning the refrigerator after Martin and the children had gone for ice cream, Kate suspected that the smell of Grover would linger long after the memory of him was gone.

Talk on the meaning of cerebral palsy to be given, Oct. 7
Posted October 7, 2002; 10:28 a.m.
"The Meaning of Cerebral Palsy: Science, Law, and Social Responsibility" will be the topic of a talk given by J. Rosser Matthews on Monday, Oct. 7. The lecture, which is sponsored by the Center for Health and Wellbeing at the Woodrow Wilson School of Public and International Affairs, will be held at 4:30 p.m. in 300 Wallace Hall.
Matthews' talk will be based on his paper, "What's In a Name? Birth-Related Neurological Injury, No Fault Compensation Programs, and the 'Web of Causation,'" in which he explores the benefits of adopting the view that birth asphyxia is seldom the cause of cerebral palsy. The paper is available in advance of the lecture at 342 Wallace Hall.
Matthews graduated from the College of William and Mary in 1985 with a double major in mathematics and philosophy and subsequently earned a Master's degree and Ph.D. in history from Duke University with a specialization in the history of science and medicine. In 1995, his doctoral dissertation (which traced the history of statistical reasoning in medicine from the end of the 18th century to the emergence of the modern randomized controlled clinical trail) was published by Princeton University Press under the title 'Quantification and the Quest for Medical Certainty.'
In 1997, Matthews earned a Master of Public Policy degree from the College of William and Mary with a focus on health care policy. Later in that year, he worked for the College's Center for Public Policy Research on a project involving Virginia's Birth-Related Neurological Injury Compensation Program, a no-fault system that attempted to remove severe cases of cerebral palsy from the tort system. Work on this project, coupled with a longstanding interest in the history of statistical reasoning in the medical and policy arenas, led him to apply for a fellowship at the National Institutes of Health to research the history of epidemiological thinking regarding the etiology of cerebral palsy. He was awarded this fellowship and spent 2001-2002 as a DeWitt Stetten, Jr. Memorial Fellow in the History of Biomedical Sciences and Technology.

• Among under-contract quarterbacks whose names have been tossed around with the Dolphins, Green Bay insists it won't trade Matt Flynn, but Cincinnati will listen to offers for Carson Palmer after the expected lockout ends, according to NBC's Peter King. Even before Denver coach John Fox announced Kyle Orton is his starter, some Dolphins people found the Orton option not very appealing.
Meanwhile, associates say Miami is among teams that would appeal to Vince Young, but Tennessee has said it won't cut him before the lockout. During the lockout, teams cannot trade veteran players or even discuss it. Hypothetically, if the lockout is ongoing, the Eagles could not ask the Dolphins to draft a player on their behalf, with the intent of using that player in a trade for Kevin Kolb.
• Though Jeff Ireland said Miami might keep Ronnie Brown or Ricky Williams, Brown said the team has told him nothing and Williams hasn't been given reason for optimism. Both appear to be fallback options only if the team can't find two backs in the draft or free agency. UM has spoken with myriad backs in the draft, including UM's Damien Berry (who is receiving on-field mentoring from Marshall Faulk) and Graig Cooper.

Obama Radio crashes and burns in DC
posted at 9:58 am on February 2, 2009 by Ed Morrissey
The cult of personality appears to have ebbed a bit since Barack Obama had to begin governing two weeks ago. The Washington DC radio station calling itself Obama 1260 and featuring liberal talk stalwarts Bill Press, Ed Schultz, and Stephanie Miller has given up the ghost already, a victim of undetectable ratings. Howard Kurtz notes that not all political radio has that problem:
President Obama may be riding high in Washington, but OBAMA 1260 is not.
The area's only progressive talk station is changing formats, dropping such syndicated liberal hosts as Ed Schultz, Stephanie Miller and Bill Press in favor of financial news, starting next week.
The move by Redskins owner Dan Snyder, who purchased the station, WWRC, and others in Washington last summer, leaves the city without a liberal radio outlet. Program Director Greg Tantum says he thought the station could work because of enthusiasm over Obama, but that ratings collapsed to a level that could not be measured after the election.
But ratings nearly doubled, he says, at Snyder's conservative station, WTNT, which features Laura Ingraham and Bill Bennett.
The very name "Obama 1260" should have embarrassed the syndicated hosts who appeared on it. It paints them as nothing more than apologists for a man who hadn't yet worked a single day in executive office. The name strongly suggests an overt campaign on behalf of Obama, and after the election, an effort to propagandize on his behalf. Would a station branding itself on Obamamania dare to criticize the One and ruin its own brand?
Fortunately, we'll never have to find out. While ratings for conservative radio soared, undoubtedly in some part to see how conservatives would react to the election of Obama, taste for Obama worship cratered. Neither will shock veteran radio people, who can see a gimmick for what it is and its expiration date when it arrives.
Tantum wants to put Schultz on the conservative station now to see if he can salvage a piece of his liberal line-up. Something tells me that listeners will tune away from WTNT and tune in WMAL instead, where conservative listeners can avoid Fast Eddie. Tantum may have been better advised to keep Miller instead, who has a better show, if he wanted balance instead of ratings. Given the collapse of Tantum's Obama 1260, why is WWRC still taking his advice?

Shawn, that's the best comment, Grady has so many pups on the ground that you will see all shapes and sizes.
Breeding to a 45# bitch can produce adult weight dogs from 40# -75# all from the same litter.
Grady is the constant and the bitch is the variable. What I want to know is where are all these 45# pocket rockets coming from and why are a large percentage of them finger painters in the kennel. There are enough of them around to start a new line of Miniature Labs, seems like there are 1 or 2 in alot of litters from normal to large parents

Alpha, Queensland, Australia born 1952
All souls of the revolution
Title Notes: Installation containing 338 soft toys
Place made: Brisbane, Queensland, Australia
Materials & Technique: sculptures, mixed media
Luke Roberts's practice embraces painting, performance, photography and video, as well as a peculiar form of curatorship. His Wunderkammer (literally 'room of wonders' or 'miracle chamber') replicates the magic of sixteenth- and seventeenth-century curiosity cabinets, the splendour of Victorian museums―with accompanying post-colonial 'baggage'―and embraces chance encounters of the strange and commonplace.[1] Roberts celebrates kitsch and discourse on the Exotic, reinventing the cabinet of curiosities with conquests from op-shops, museum storage, antiquarian markets—and outer space. His Wunderkammer exists not in a private or museum collection but conceptually as an ever-expanding catalogue of items which will, eventually, encapsulate the whole world.[2]
All souls of the revolution 1976–94 comprises about 350 dolls, clowns, gollywogs, rabbits, bears and other animals made of knitted wool, fabric, fur or synthetic materials. Originally part of the Wunderkammer/Kunstkamera project,[3] the work is hung high, in a frieze-like manner, extending above the line of the viewer's eye to the ceiling. Roberts has compared his collection of toys to wingless angels, to the cupids and putti that adorn Baroque and Rococo ceilings.[4] The flamboyant theatricality of these styles encapsulates Roberts's aesthetic approach. He also connects the sacred and the profane, drawing our attention to the apparent disjunction between ecclesiastical interiors and commonplace objects. Indeed, toys (either handmade or mass-produced in a factory) have a particular place in his oeuvre: these special friends now rejected or lost stand for the loss of childhood innocence, lives lost to AIDS and other scourges of the twentieth century.
The commemorative function of All souls of the revolution is reminiscent of roadside memorials, particularly the descanso tradition in which memorials are decorated for specific holidays, or those for children incorporating special toys. Roberts reminds us of the special role of toys and other gifts: handmade and homemade objects encapsulate the love between an adult and a child, and the child often perceives his or her world through such gifts. The objects in All souls of the revolution are intriguing, even if only for their sheer diversity. The intensity of their melange of colours and materials—efforts which are sometimes more indicative of sincerity than talent or skills—celebrates naiveté, the folkloric and the marginal, as well as ritualised spaces from cave paintings to church interiors.
All souls of the revolution takes its names from All Souls' Day (2 November), a day that loomed large for the Catholic-educated Roberts. Also important for the artist are the visual and emotive resonances with Mexico, and Spanish-American traditions of the Days of the Dead (Dias de los Muertos), the collective celebration of Allhallows eve, All Saints' Day and All Souls' Day.[5]
These toys form an understanding of, and a basis to concepts of mythology. They awaken within the child the capacity to be bigger than oneself, to project into another world … The passing of childhood is usually our first contact with death. The child we once were is lost and the remnants of our childhood are the archaeological evidence or fragments of its existence (Memory).
Roberts's All souls of the revolution is both appealing in its immediacy, and as an embodiment of 'otherness'. It also encapsulates an immensely political message: the power of group action and collective memory. The struggle against heterogeneity is not over yet, but when the revolution does come, it will be queer, extraordinary, full of love—and very, very funny.

Roberts has produced a number of Wunderkammer and one of the earliest was in 1990, at the State Library of Queensland, Brisbane; another, in the following year at Perspecta, comprised four cabinets, one of which, Wunderkammer: the voyage within the wonderful continues... 1991–94, is now in the collection of the Art Gallery of NSW, Sydney. In 1994–95 Roberts's largest project to date was installed at the Queensland Art Gallery, Brisbane, and in 1996 he produced an 'Asian' Wunderkammer for the Queensland Art Gallery's Second Asia Pacific Triennial; both QAG projects are described by Timothy Morrell, in 'The people's pope: Luke Roberts', Art and Australia, vol 35, no 2, 1997, pp 226–233

[3] As Helmrich points out, Wunderkammer/Kunstkamera makes 'a word-play of the ancient and the modern: the Greek kamara, the Latin for vault, camera, chamber (in camera), camera obscura, on camera. Further, Kunstkamera is a variation on Kunstkammer, those collections contemporary with the Wunderkammer which prioritised "art" and the artificial―Kunst being German for "art". The title gives focus to the museum and the camera, and their repertoire of images.' Quoted from Vanitas: Pope Alice presents Luke Roberts, Institute of Modern Art, Brisbane, 1999, n17, p 23; see also Helmrich in The second Asia-Pacific Triennial of Contemporary Art, Queensland Art Gallery, Brisbane, 1996 p 121
[4]The artist's comments on the work are also drawn from this 1996 statement; see NGA 96/0183, folio 9
[5] In some areas of South America, a distinction is made between 1 November as the day to honour children and adults—Day of the Innocents (Día de los Inocentes) or Day of the Little Angels (Día de los Angelitos)—and 2 November as the day for deceased adults
Roberts cites Frida Kahlo as a key influence; she also features in his performance work

Watch Yuichiro Nagashima Celebrate Post-Fight at Dynamite!!
- Written by Dave Walsh
We all love honesty when it comes in our favorite fighters; a straight-forward attitude, humility and admittance that they are indeed mortal just like you and me. They get scared. Well, most fighters do, not everybody is Alistair Overeem, who knows when he is walking to the ring that it will just be a matter of time before someone lays in a pool of their own blood before him. Going into his Mixed Rules bout at Dynamite!! against Shinya Aoki, Yuichiro Nagashima knew what he had to do; he had to get out there and knock Aoki out in the first round. Aoki used his brain to avoid contact with Nagashima all throughout the K-1 rules round, which lead into the MMA rules portion of the bout, where Nagashima was in deep, deep water against one of the best MMA grapplers in the world. After the boisterous, over-the-top entrance from Nagashima, to lose would be a shame, but when you saw the look on his face and the concern of his trainers going into the second round, you saw a defeated man.
The flying knee that connected not only shocked Aoki, but it shocked Nagashima as well. Watch this video of Nagashima as he heads to the back after the bout and watch him coming down from his adrenaline rush and just how lucky he knows he was for scoring that knockout. He even vows to never, ever do MMA again and that he was "so scared!"

Finheaven Tailgate Thread: http://www.finheaven.com/showthread....ilgate-East-22
I'm not sure about specific gods, as in Christian god, etc. I think if there is a God or gods, they are the same. I also don't see God as one who is overly concerned with us and not he created this for this purpose, etc. I see, which sounds like a contradiction but Science and God together. God set things in motion, perhaps maybe not even for us, but pressed the "start" button on a simulator which random things came about, but also set the simulation to allow or purpose of precise things to evolve or develope.
Purpose being in things developed and this brought the "chance" for humans to eventually come. It brings it up though as there most likely is other life or life before us as the universe is infinite and there has to be some "goldilock" zones where some planets are habitable for life. So it's arrogant to think GOD created or started existence for the purpose of us and not other life that came and existed or intelligent that could exist or existed before us. I don't see God as a magical thinking, but more of a power or presence putting things together but not a babysitter like some think or blame GOD for the bad going on or why some bad people have a decent life or exist while other great people get cancer and die. There are tragic things happening everyday, but I think God set things up to play but not to really orchestrate how things happen and let's chance happen whether good or bad.
The Periodic Table divides into 8 basic groups.
Religion is good. It brings to man what is good about God, who is all good. When religion becomes a political movement, it becomes bad, because power and control over others has nothing to do with God. Keep religion good.
If you think that precision in nature can only be brought about by intelligence, you've never studied a system at equilibrium.

Tokyo Rail Billboards Scan Viewer's Age, Gender 235

It's a Digital Signage Promotion Project that 11 railway companies are debuting.

Gary Borders (Shelby )
Not used yet,but did not come with all pictured parts!!
Jefferson (Philadelphia )
The worst fitment for any motorcycle. The lines don't carry good flow, and the pressure builds in the lines which causes it to bust through the ends and leak oil. You can customize it but it shouldn't have to be customized or altered in anyway. Will be returning and sticking to rubber hoses with stainless steel weaving with clamped ends.
Miguel (St louis )
Used to change out my chain drive cam tensioners. When it arrives it will say gear drive on it but it is for both.
Michael (Monterey )
Arrived on time, does the job, for market price (which I think is too high for the part, but it is the price the market will allow--so in that regard it is fair-ish). Nevertheless, M/C SuperStore always comes through with what I need, when I need it, with no b/s. That's 5-star in my book...

Latest Headlines is home to all the latest, up to the minute news headlines from The Wall Street Journal in a streaming continuous headline experience.
By Jonathan House
Local job markets across California are struggling to recover from the recession.
Ten of the Golden State's 26 metropolitan areas had double-digit unemployment rates in November, according to nonseasonally adjusted data released Tuesday by the Labor Department. All but six had jobless rates higher than the 6.6% national average. (The nation's seasonally adjusted unemployment rate, the best known measure of U.S. joblessness, was 7%. That was a five-year low.)
Of the nation's 49 metropolitan areas with a population of 1 million or more, the 9.4% unemployment rate in California's Riverside-San Bernardino-Ontario area was the highest in the nation in November. That was still down from 11.2% a year earlier.
The area to the east of Los Angeles is home to the warehouses and online-shipment sites of many major companies and was slammed by the recession. San Bernardino filed for bankruptcy in 2012.
Among cities of all sizes, California's El Centro had the second highest unemployment rate in the nation, at 23.8%. Only Arizona's Yuma, at 28.2%, was higher.
Their continuing difficulties notwithstanding, California metros participated broadly in the nationwide trend of improving local job markets in November. Unemployment rates were lower in November than a year earlier in 293 of the nation's 372 metropolitan areas, higher in 71 and unchanged in 8, the Labor Department said.
Bismarck, N.D., had the nation's lowest unemployment rate: 2.3%.

Biggest Celebrity Break Ups Of 2012: Jelena, Robsten & More
2012 was a year full of sadness as some of our favorite Hollywood couples parted ways! Luckily, however, some such as Robert Pattinson and Kristen Stewart as well as Justin Bieber and Selena Gomez reconnected after their splits. Others were not so lucky.
Robert Pattinson and Kristen Stewart reconciled after their very PUBLIC break up in July. Unfortunately, not all couples reconnected. Tom Cruise and Katie Holmes divorced after six years of marriage and many other couples said sayonara to their significant others in 2012.
Browse through our gallery and reminisce (or not) over the biggest break up of the year.
What do YOU think, HollywoodLifers? Can you ever recover from all of these break ups?

Assignment: Education-Project Prom
Reported by Lisa Klein | bio | email | twitter
These are the finishing touches before one of the biggest nights of the year for most high school students.
"I know how big of a deal prom is to students," said Clare Platt, Project Prom organizer and Onalaska High School junior.
That's because Clare is an Onalaska High School Junior going to her own prom.105412
"A lot is involved in prom, because it is such a big deal to people," said Platt. "And I think the nails, the hair appointments, the shoes, the jewelry, the dress and the fitting. So, there's a lot. And a lot of people will do the photography, professional photos... it's a lot that goes into prom."
And for some students the cost of those details can be too much.
"It was going to be really upsetting if I couldn't go," said Briana Gardener, Onalaska High School senior. "Obviously, I wanted to go and spend time with my friends and have a good time. But my family comes first. And there was no way I was going to force them to pay for me when we didn't have that money... when we needed to pay bills and buy food and all that stuff."
Briana's story isn't all that uncommon. And when Clare started hearing her peers talk about the expense of prom she decided to take action.
"If we can alleviate some of that pressure that's put on families because of the financial aspect of prom and how much money it does cost, then I think that's important," said Platt.
So, Clare launched Project Prom about four weeks ago. She hung posters and pamphlets around school and had the office make morning announcements about her plan to help out her fellow peers.
"I heard it on the announcements and I just thought, I'm really close with my guidance counselor and so I was like, 'I have a question. What's this whole project prom thing,'" said Gardener.
"Project Prom is a financial assistance program that's available for students at Onalaska High School who can't pay for prom or need help paying for any part of the prom experience," said Platt."
"They contacted me and were like what do you need help on," said Gardener. "I said dress and hair and make-up and stuff like that. I put my brother's name down too because he needed a tux and flowers."
So, to meet these requests Clare went to work contacting area business owners, like Sue Kolve Feehan owner of the Salon Professional Academy in Onalaska, to make prom possible for Briana and others like her.
"As soon as I heard the mission and her cause, immediately it struck a cord for me," said Kolve Feehan.
"We got some monetary donations from a couple of businesses and we also got in-kind donations in the form of gift cards, hair and nails and dinners," said Platt.
"It's just a great win, win, win," said Kolve Feehan. "Our students here really love to work with the up dos and all of the special occasion stuff. They love to show their work. And to be able to do that and to help these students out I think is amazing. It's a great partnership."
Clare was able to send Briana to prom in style with a visit to a salon and a new dress. This Onalaska High School junior proved that when you recognize a need it's important not to dance around the issue.
"I think this program is important because it's students coming together to help our fellow peers," said Platt. "And I think that when we recognize a problem or we recognize something that we can see needs someone to help and know that we can do something about it. It think it's important that we act on it."
"I'm really thankful that we have sponsors and businesses in this community that are willing to give money, because I think once they see this interview and hear what the kids have to say that they will see that they actually have made a huge difference," said Gardener.
On one of the biggest nights of the year.�@

WSU women win 4th straight Pac-12 game
PULLMAN, Wash. – Washington State University used a second-half comeback to post its fourth consecutive win with a 57-54 victory over the University of Southern California at Beasley Coliseum Friday.
Washington State improved to 9-13 overall and 5-6 in Pac-12 Conference play and posted its first four-game conference winning streak since 1994-95. The Cougars shot 52 percent in the second half and outscored USC (8-14, 5-6 Pac-12) 34-26 in the final 20 minutes to post its first home victory over the Trojans since 2001.
Freshman guard Dawnyelle Awa scored a career-high 11 points after hitting all three of WSU's threes and dished out five assists. Freshman guard Lia Galdeira added 10 points, eight coming in the second half, and grabbed a team-high six rebounds while redshirt-senior guard Katie Grad chipped in with seven points. WSU was outrebounded 50-30 but scored 19 points off of 14 USC turnovers and committed a season-low eight turnovers.
Southern California took an early lead with an 8-0 run behind a couple threes and later built a double-digit advantage with a 7-0 spurt midway through the half.
Late in the half, the Cougars received at three from Awa, the first of her career, and later got within two after a 7-0 stretch of their own. Following an Edmondson free throw, junior forward Hana Potter sparked WSU off the bench with a pair of buckets before freshman guard Alexas Williamson made a steal and went coast-to-coast for layin to cut the USC lead to two with 29 seconds left.
USC answered right back with a three in the closing seconds to take a 28-23 lead into the break. WSU was down five despite shooting 32.1 percent from the floor and 1-for-11 from three in the first 20 minutes.
Washington State opened the second half with an 8-3 run that tied the game at 31 after junior forward Sage Romberg hit a jumper, Awa followed with a three and Grad added three points with a driving layup and a free throw.
The pace really picked up over the next six minutes as both teams traded baskets before sophomore forward Shalie Dheensaw's jumper from the left wing gave the Cougars a 41-39 lead at the 12:21 mark, their first lead since the opening minutes of the game.
Midway through the half and following a 6-0 steak by the Trojans, Galdeira knotted things up at 47 with a jumper and added another jumper from the left elbow. Awa then followed an Edmondson free throw with her third and final three of the night that opened up a six-point WSU advantage with 2:56 to go.
With under a minute remaining, Southern California cut the Cougars lead to one, 55-54 after making one of two free throw attempts with 50 seconds on the clock. WSU then turned the ball over on its ensuing possession but USC's go-ahead jumper rolled around and off the back of the rim. The Trojans grabbed the rebound but had their putback attempt blocked by Romberg and Galdeira snatched the rebound. She was fouled and went on to hit both free throws to seal the 57-54 victory.
Washington State closes out the homestand Sunday, against No. 17/17 UCLA at Noon.

Knoll is Modern Always because modern always works. Founded in 1938 by Hans and Florence Knoll, today Knoll is recognized internationally for creating workplace and residential furnishings that inspire, evolve, and endure. Knoll's portfolio of designs feature works from pioneering modernists like Eero Saarinen, Ludwig Mies van der Rohe, Harry Bertoia, and Richard Schultz. Along with their classic designs Knoll strives to work with the best designers of today including Antenna Design, Formway Design, Don Chadwick, David Adjaye, and Rem Koolhaas.
With an incredible roster of products like the Womb Chair and Barcelona Chair, Knoll continues to remain true to the Bauhaus design philosophy it was founded on, that modern furniture should complement architectural space, not compete with it. Whether you're searching for one of their iconic modern designs or looking to update your workspace, Knoll has an array of products, which combine a Modernist aesthetic with residential appeal.
Italian sculptor, university lecturer and furniture designer Harry Bertoia displayed a unique stroke of genius with his patented Diamond Chair for Knoll International in 1952. Bertoia was an inventor of form and an enricher of furniture design with his introduction of a new material: he turned industrial wire rods into a design icon. Educated at Detroit Technical High School, the Detroit School of Arts and Crafts and Cranbrook Academy of Art in Bloomfield Hills, Michigan, Bertoia taught metal crafts at Cranbrook. He worked with Charles Eames to develop his signature molded plywood chairs. Eero Saarinen commissioned him to design a metal sculptured screen for the General Motors Technical Center in Detroit. His awards include the craftsmanship medal from the American Institute of Architects, as well as AIA's Gold Medal.View other products by Harry Bertoia

First of all, I would say, "Stan, nice to finally meet you! Have a seat and I'll be right with you."
There IS NO public clinic here. We are it, and YES, we are all called out at all hours of the night to deal with emergencies. Its part of the job.
Often that includes dental emergencies, for which we are not trained to deal with. I know very well there are dentists who work pro grata, and God bless them! They just don't work here, and I was truly wondering if they can just refuse to see emergincies, or if there is some oath that requires them to treat the indigent at least to a small degree.
And why does that hampster keep rearing its ugly head!? We never should have told you about that!!

Would you have said the same about Payton Manning in his first year! Look at Payton's record and number of interceptions. Tannehill has no weapons to throw to. He is a gun slinger with no weapons.
If you are looking to step up your Dolphin conversation there is VIP.
Tannehill has regressed because the offense around him is regressing. Think about it. Jake Long is getting worse by the week. You can tell Tannehill feels a lot more uncomfortable in the pocket the last few weeks than when he was in early October. Long is going to get Tannehill killed. Martin is regressing, he's starting to get beat a lot as well. Incognito and all his boneheaded penalties is killing the offense's momentum, pushing Miami back, putting Tannehill in 3rd and longs. Reggie Bush has obviously regressed as well... fumbling, dancing, giving himself up easily instead of running over defenders, just ineffective out there. Hartline, again regressing. Missing in action most of the time, pushing off or fumbling. I mean if the offense is crumbling around you, it's hard to expect Tannehill to continue play great. Against Tennessee and Buffalo, Tannehill seemed to be trying to do too much and was forcing passes cause I guess he saw no one else on offense was doing anything to make a play. Offensive line has got to get better...I think that happens by getting rid of Long next season.
This is the strangest thread.
1) This is how you spell "ridiculous."
2) Aaron Rodgers didn't sit after being drafted because of some master plan. Aaron Rodgers sat because Green Bay had this Brett Favre guy who was playing pretty well.
3) We're really having these conversations about Tannehill after ten games?
Quick, how many comebacks did Peyton Manning, Troy Aikman, and John Elway have in their first seasons? Seeing as those three won a COMBINED seven games in their first seasons, it certainly wasn't many. it took Peyton Manning until Week 10 of his rookie season to have his first comeback win. Up until that point, he was 1-8. And he had these two guys on his team named Marvin Harrison and Marshall Faulk.
Aikman? He didn't get his first comeback win until the first game...of his second season. It was also his first in of any kind in the pros. He didn't win anything in his first season, with Herschel Walker and Michael Irvin.
I think all that we've firmly established thus far is that Tannehill is a rookie QB who is making mistakes that were expected, and that we don't have any future Hall of Famers at WR or RB.

FDA nod for the first drug (Abilify Maintena) to be commercialized by the Otsuka and Lundbeck alliance
Singapore: Japan-based Otsuka Pharmaceutical and H Lundbeck have received US FDA approval for Abilify Maintena (aripiprazole) extended-release injectable suspension, an intramuscular (IM) depot formulation indicated for the treatment of schizophrenia.
Abilify Maintena is the first dopamine D2 partial agonist approved as a once- monthly injection. It contributes a new treatment option to address the ongoing need for relapse prevention in patients with schizophrenia, a chronic, debilitating disease.
Elderly patients with dementia-related psychosis treated with antipsychotic drugs are at an increased risk of death. Abilify Maintena is not approved for the treatment of patients with dementia-related psychosis. Abilify Maintena is contraindicated in patients with a known hypersensitivity reaction to aripiprazole. Reactions have ranged from pruritus/urticaria to anaphylaxis.
Abilify Maintena will be the first commercialized product from the long-term global alliance between Otsuka and Lundbeck to develop CNS medicines worldwide. The companies expect the product will start becoming available in the US on March 18.
"Protection from relapse of schizophrenia is important for patients, their families and the communities in which they live," said study investigator Dr John M Kane, chairman, Psychiatry, The Zucker Hillside Hospital, and VP, Behavioral Health Services, North Shore-LIJ Health System. "As a strong believer in long-acting therapies for schizophrenia, I think it is important for physicians to have a new and effective once-monthly treatment option that can help reduce the risk of relapse and manage symptoms in patients."

I really like the DT Systems Soft Mouth bumpers and they are 100% made in USA and non-toxic, as are N&B's as mentioned above.
Some of the bumpers are also painted, like the black and white "flasher" type. Surely our good friends in china use safe paint on the dog toys, just like they do on toys for kids. Mallards are non toxic, and the dogs love them.

Hey foks, we are talking about bumpers here, not toxic waste. The article says no one really knows for sure the danger, if there is one. For 30 years I have had canvas, soft rubber and probably 5 different types of plastic, nothing has ever gone wrong with any dog ! Including the dogs that shredded, ate and passed all the diffeent type of bumpers.
I thinks is is good to be informed about potential dnagers, but in this alarmist climate we seem to live in, use a little common sense here!
They probably use left over Red Dye #2 for color.
Every one who had a retriever that lived well into geriatrics after a lifetime of retrieving bumpers raise your hand.

Most American children live healthy lives. Car seats, safe cribs, and strollers help protect your child in and near the home. Yet, parents and caregivers still have to be careful and cautious. Explain certain dangers to children. This can help them understand why and how they can stay safe.
All teens and adults should learn CPR.
Teach your child about poisons that may be in the home or outside the home in the yard. Your child should know about not eating berries or leaves from unknown plants. Almost any substance, when eaten in large enough amounts, can be harmful or poisonous.
Only buy toys that say non-toxic on the label.
In the home:
If you suspect poisoning or have questions, call the National Poison Control Center (1-800-222-1222).
Always keep one hand on an infant who is lying on a changing table.
Place gates at the top and bottom of each stairway. Gates that screw into the wall are best. Follow the manufacturer's safety instructions.
Teach your child how to climb up the stairs. When they are ready to climb down, show them how to go down steps backwards on their hands and knees. Show toddlers how to walk down steps one step at a time, holding on to someone's hand, a handrail, or the wall.
Injury due to falls from windows can occur from even a first or second story window as well as from a high-rise. Follow these simple suggestions:
Tips for avoiding falls from bunk beds include:
Keep guns locked up and unloaded. Guns and ammunition should be stored separately.
Never claim you have a gun with you just as a prank. Never say, even as a joke, that you are going to shoot someone.
Help children understand the difference between real guns and weapons they see on TV, movies, or video games. A gunshot can permanently injure or kill someone.
Teach children what to do when they come across a gun:
Keep your child safe by taking action to prevent choking.
Window cords are also a danger for choking or strangulation. If possible, do not use window coverings that have cords that hang down. If there are cords:
To prevent accidents involving suffocation:
Take precautions when cooking to prevent burns.
Other tips to prevent burns include:
Check playground equipment for signs of deterioration, weakness, and damage. Keep an eye on your child around the playground.
Teach children what to do if strangers approach them.
Teach them at an early age that no one should touch private areas of their bodies.
Make sure children know their address and telephone numbers as early as possible. And teach them to call 911 when there is trouble.
Make sure your child knows how to stay safe around cars and traffic.

Picture a dinosaur. Chances are, the creature you are imagining is gray or brown or possibly green. The dinosaur in your mind probably doesn't have an orange-and-white-striped tail. But according to a team of British and Chinese scientists, at least one dinosaur actually did.
To find out a dinosaur's true colors for the first time, the scientists studied fossils of a dinosaur found in China, called Sinosauropteryx (sine-oh-sore-op-ter-iks). The small, meat-eating dinosaur lived 125 million years ago.
Just looking at its feather-covered tail, the scientists could see stripes of white and some other color. But over time, that color had faded to a dull brown.
"You'd look at it and say, 'Well, it could have been brown or blue or purple or green,' " Michael Benton, who led the study, told TFK.
Solving the Mystery
So how did Benton and his team figure out that the color was orange? They looked at the feathers through a powerful microscope. Inside, they saw tiny capsules called melanosomes.
Melanosomes contain a pigment that gives feathers—or fur or hair—their color. Differently shaped melanosomes correspond to different colors. Melanosomes with a sausage shape produce dark brown. Ball-shaped melanosomes make orange. "We only found the ball type, so we knew that the feathers were orange," says Benton.
With the mystery of Sinosauropteryx's tail colors now solved, Benton is eager to find out the colors of other dinosaurs. "We'll map out the colors over a whole dinosaur," he predicts, "so we can say, 'It had black splotches and green bits and stripes and this and that and the other.' "
As for that picture in your mind, it'll soon be lot more accurate—and colorful.

After about 2 hours and some laughs from some committers, I found that bsd.port.mk already has a line that tests for root UID with:
@if [ `id -u` = 0 ]; then (blah)
Thanks for the help xanne, CyNick and Green :)
Now I'm *VERY* close to actually putting all this stuff in bsd.port.mk...which means only the testing and bug ridding proccess remain (which is one of the crappiest).
I spent about 4 or 5 hours looking over /usr/ports/Mk/bsd.port.mk as well as bothering some developers on efnet. Fortunately I have made some progress as to the infrastructure of the ports system. Heres what I found I need to do to bsd.port.mk:
Add test if uid is 0 then all paths change to those supplied:
I also plan to maybe completely use environment variables to make things well, not so static..but the above will remain as default (unless someone else things otherwise)
Some news on user-based ports. I now found out that I have quite a bit of work for this one. But i've managed to lay out basically what needs to happen.
- Change install path from /usr/local (or otherwise chosen) to ~/
- Change man install path to ~/
- Figure out how the hell to get ports to register and acknowledge registrations in ~/
- Change building directory (/usr/ports/[cat]/[port]/work to something else. Possibly ~/somewhere or in /tmp
- Do all this without breaking anything
Theoraretically my sketch is a little backwards, but it still works for me
Good news (finally). After some help from BigKnife (thanks) I'm starting to patch bsd.port.mk. Wish me luck!
Found some 'trouble' with user-based ports system. I have to find a way to overide the path included within packages. Hopefully there may be an environment variable or else I can create one. I'll have to check later when I'm on my workstation and hopefully I can get some help from the FreeBSD developers.
Good news, I thought of an idea of a user based ports system addition eg. 'normal' users can register and install ports in their own home directories. I'll be working on it, trying to implement it on my home machine, then will later submit it, hopefully I can get some help :)
Did a lot of reading on SCSI programming. My experiance with it is still somewhat limited, but I'm learning. Hopefully in the next few weeks I'll have some beginner's skill in device driver writing
Was going to submit updated cvsupit package, but relized someone beat me to it (darn) Hopefully I can find something else to contribute which is in my limitations.
New HTML Parser: The long-awaited libxml2 based HTML parser code is live. It needs further work but already handles most markup better than the original parser.

Sorry, got distracted by the Snowtrooper in the background, still looks really sharp and I hope the production model looks that good.
Anyway, as for Vader, I'm excited by the idea here, but as an owner of Sideshow's ANH Vader there's a lot that seems similar which leaves me wondering if I'll bother with this. The helmet shape is similar (the ANH movie helmet is quite different from Sideshow's sculpt) and the chestbox and undersuit and codpiece and belt look the same (there I think are supposed to be some differences from ANH to ESB but they're pretty minor IIRC). Most importantly for me though, the height still looks way too tall just as the ANH figure did, Vader's eyeline should be just to the top of the Snowtrooper's helmet - but maybe this is a composite image done wrong, one can hope. I doubt I'll buy this Vader since I can recreate almost everything except the look of the gloves with the ANH Vader (basically just move the inner robe under the shoulder armor) but I am excited to see more pictures of this piece and its "deluxe" removable helmet with its separate stand, and maybe I can convince myself to buy it.

This is one of the craziest things I've done in my life, so have a read down this page and I'll give you the scoop.
A few years ago Nick (Papa of RSD) and I got the idea to create a totally free program that would allow you to experience a Real Social Dynamics live event no matter where you lived in the world.
The stated goals for this program were the following…:
Now to run a tour of this magnitude was like solving a puzzle of transportation, time, budgeting, and logistics, because we wanted hit every major city in the world.
But that's exactly what we did!
Within 2 years we successfully ran RSD Free Tour events in over 260 cities in 75 countries, which was nearly every major "developed" city that exists and isn't a crazy war zone.
Personally I was amazed to see Nick (Papa) and the team pull this off, and as I read the pile of raving reviews I secretly wished I could be traveling on the road doing the Free Tour events as well.
(It was simply a lack of time and having a family at home that prevented me from getting involved.)
Well finally after years of wanting to do it, last Spring I was able to start up on a Free Tour of my own, and designed a new curriculum of our best content, exercises, and infield video footage to BLOW PEOPLE AWAY at the free event.
I then travelled to several cities a month and focused on making every event better and crazier and more intense. The reviews were super enthusiastic as I exerted a lot of effort into it, and the event grew into something powerful for students and me personally.
Well finally this month, after all the crazy work that went into building the ultimate free event, I ran out of cities and was honestly feeling bummed out about it…
This was a big decision as it means leaving my newborn son back in Los Angeles for periods of time, but I felt so strongly about the awesomeness of this program that I wanted to do a final series of events.
That being the case, I've recently added a FINAL FULL YEAR of Free Tour events, and the Free Tour will basically be my full focus for the entire coming year of my life.
My goal is to make this the craziest thing I've ever done. EPIC.
I've committed to every event possible within proximity to me, and then to allow people in Europe and Canada to get in on the action, I've also arranged for the exact same Free Tour 3 curriculum to be taught by other big name instructors (Jeffy, Papa, Ozzie, Max, Julien and Brad).
(These guys are absolutely awesome. I've brought them into my inner circle for important reasons – they're the best of the best, and inspirational to everyone they meet.)
The dates are listed as follows, so check right now to see if your city (or one you'd like to visit) has made "The List".
The Free Tour is about YOU and YOUR EXPERIENCE.
It's my own personal challenge to educate you, entertain you, mess with you, and reveal secrets to you that will change your life forever, as much as is possible by the laws of physics within the few hours that I have.
To do this I unleash an arsenal of tools onto your vulnerable brain…and TRANSFORM IT.
That means giving you the best that I have within a few hours…
The past decade of my life has been devoted to nothing but the study of how regular guys (like YOU) can become EXCEPTIONAL at getting girls.
It's lead me in many fascinating directions that I never would have expected when I got into it, and down into many rabbit holes that I never knew could exist.
This Free Tour is about OPENING YOUR EYES to these astonishing insights, and whether you're new, intermediate, or ragingly advanced, to send you out that same night armed with powerful tools that will make an immediate difference in your results.
2011 was absolutely insane.
I was out "in the field" around 7 nights a week, taught Bootcamps nearly every weekend, and watched full days of "infield footage" of myself during my Hot Seat events at least twice a month.
Basically it was "pickup, pickup, pickup…" Totally unbalanced, I've never been AROUND this much social interaction in my entire life.
(Reading this from home it's probably hard to envision how much time we're talking about here – I spend more time either picking up girls or teaching it than most people spend working or sleeping.)
My reason for doing this was that I wanted my final years focused on "the game" to reveal the insights that only a seasoned veteran could comprehend.
I wanted to gain those "mastery level insights" and then leave behind some truly amazing insights for you, before I shifted my focus into teaching self-help (as I've hinted at for a while now).
My goal has been to take what's appears complicated and make it SIMPLE for you. To take concepts that you've heard but never truly understood and make them hit harder at the core.
Then from there, I've focused on revealing my newest insights to you. All sorts of nonsense I've been up to, including many new secrets that will leave you absolutely shocked.
A few off the top of my head…
For awkward newbies: How you can balance "intent" and "freedom from outcome" to approach with hardcore intensity and make a crazy impression (especially on "perfect 10's") while maintaining higher value because you don't care. (Not just the theory behind it which you may already know, but literally HOW EVEN AN IDIOT CAN EASILY APPLY IT TODAY).
For intermediate dudes trying to reach the next level: How to guarantee you'll "hit state" at some point during the night with 100% consistency, even if you're burnt out from working during the week.
(Hint: You're ALREADY as good as the advanced guys on your best night, the key to becoming "the man" is being this guy ALL THE TIME. I'll reveal simple and absurdly effective tools you've never considered.)
For snobby advanced who think they "know it all": How to use a new type of "humor" to shock the crap out of the hottest girls specifically, so that you appear on the level of rich movie producers and strip club owners. (This is by far the most "hardcore" insight I've had in the game – and it's NOT "cocky" or even "playful". Mastery of this is the single difference I've personally encountered between guys who are awesome and THE BEST.)
Honestly I'm barely scratching the surface here, and again these are off the top of my head.
The Free Tour is such a wild and unpredictable beast – it can go in so many different directions. I have a hard-hitting skeleton of what I'll teach you going in, and then amp it up over several hours until it's taken a life of its own.
I fully "get it" that a lot of this "success with women" stuff can seem a little crazy to many folks, so I'm also bringing along some infield footage to force your brain to realize how fun and effective it is.
I'll have a powerful set of mini BOSE speakers with me, as well as my trusty high definition video projector screen, so you'll be able to soak up the pickup-glory with full intensity.
Expect to see a number of new clips, as well as crowd favorites like…
I'm currently adding new videos, so you can expect to see many more.
The hidden camera footage always garners such a wild response of from the audience that I can't resist "beefing it up" for my final round of events.
Combined with the newest insights, personally interacting with me, and the raging energy we build up at the event, it provides the final punch for a night of momentum and awesomeness.
To run these events, Nick (Papa) and I have fun "getting our acts together" to nail down the airfare, accommodations, and hotel conference room rentals in the cities all over the world.
(We both love the Free Tour because it's a massive rush, and the audience is always so psyched up after the event. So it's definitely worth the hassle.)
On your end, THE ONLY THING we need you to do is let us know you're coming by signing up.
To do this, register through the sign up link and enter your information. Your debit card or credit card won't actually be charged, but will instead authorize $1 USD to make sure the card is valid (similar to when you check into a hotel or rent a car), but then will be voided within 24 hours later so you won't actually be charged anything.
This allows us to better forecast how many people will be attending, and to give us an idea of the size of the room we need to rent for the Free Event in your town.
Free Tour is a wildly popular event because of the effect is has on the people who attend, and I'm very psyched for you to experience it!
Do NOT become a victim of procrastination, and be like "Fuuuuuu….forgot to sign up, and I spent the night wacking off."
(Which can be fun as well, but you can STILL do it after the event is done. I've actually considered making the slogan: "RSD Free Tour: You can still wack off, just a few hours later…")
It's crazy how many freaked out emails I get from dummies who saw this page and forgot to ACTUALLY SIGN UP. Do not be one of them.
Show that monkey-brain whose boss and TAKE CONTROL.
Reserve your spot for the Free Tour and sign up right now, and then you can lay back and anticipate the event.
You'll be glad you did! And I'll see you at the tour!!
