One of the earlier trailers by one of the earlier trailer parody pioneers. By far one of his best still, and still a fav in my book.

I guess that Fluxy's Grand Theft Bebop 2: Vice City and Grand Theft Bebop would fit here, and would do so exquisitely. They both are excellent examples of digital effects (the openings), and of editing and action sync. I can't really describe them without stepping on his toes, so just read the damn descriptions and get them if you don't have them already. They've been on the top ten pretty much as long as I can remember, and for very good reason.

This is a really good trailer parody. While I haven't seen the actual trailer the audio comes from, nor have I even seen The Incredible Hulk, everything synchs up perfectly, though the lip synch is a bit off. It's a must see (and it's the only video using betterman that's available for download... I plan on changing this soon <.<)

I finally got tired enough of all the database problems that Blogger has been having to switch my site over too Wordpress. I picked Wordpress because it seemed the most light weight and flexible. I was able to easily edit only the index.php to change the look of my entire site and since Wordpress is standards compliant, it was easy to get my altered version to validate as XHTML 1.0. Several similar types of things have some crappy inflexible theme engine hard coded, and most of the rest where you can actually change stuff are so poorly written it's hard to tell what fuck is going on if you didn't write it yourself, and even then it still won't validate as any thing on the W3C website. Besides getting away from Blogger's problems, I at least have the option of expanding my site if I ever wanted to since now all the code is running on my server. Probably the best part was the simple import of my old blog which went flawlessly. If you have a blog I would highly recommend Wordpress. My blog is here
Well I finally graduated tech school, so now I'm officially a 3C031, and now I can leave the training bases behind. I'm at home on recruiters assistance right now, and I'll be reporting to Wright-Patterson Air Force base on the 11th. While I won't be a student any more, I still have to do my on the job training and my CDCs to get my five level, but at least I'm not a student any more, and don't have to put up with all the crap,
I don't know if anyone has noticed, but I've been gone for about 2 months now. I've been gone to Air Force basic training. I just graduated to day, and the first thing I did on my base liberty afterwards was go to the AT&T cyberzone at the BX mini-mall, and read my e-mail. Now that I'm out of basic, I'll get some of my freedoms back, although I'll still be restricted some in tech school, but the restrictions ease over time, until I can get back around to a more normal life. Well, I don't want to wast my whole base lib writing, so I'll write more about what basic was like later.
Is it just me, or has any one else has trouble with Slashdot comeing up all wrong. By wrong, I mean the stuff in the middle over lapping with the left sidebar stuff, and some times on comments the page doesn't render any data at the top at all. just green and grey bars going aross the page at the , although the comments usually still render then. I've only had the problem with Firefox 0.8 om Windows XP, although the only other browser I've used is Safari on Mac OS X, but it hasn't ever messed up.
While I'm talking about Slashdot, I submitted a story about prelimianry suppory for a native version of AbiWord a few days ago, and it's still pending. I with they'd make up their mind, since they won't approve or dissaproved it and there still hasn't been anything in the Apple section about this story either. Maybe they're waiting for a slow news day.
Finally, I've moved my blog to junetech.com, incase anyone cares.
I finally got a story submission on the front page, it was the one about KOffice on Mac OS X. My only other accepted story only got to the Apple section.
In other news, I've moved my blog to here
After reading Squidgee's journal entry about his blog, I decided to find my old blog. Since his was at blogspot, i tried there first. I used my most common username/password combination, and it turns out I do have a blog there. I guess I'll try to keep up with it this time. While I've been making websites since around 1996 when I was about 12, I haven't really gotten into more recent internet culture stuff like blogs or even instant messaging that much. I'm still stuck in the 90's with web pages and e-mail.
Edit:Oh yeah, it's at bsharitt.blogspot.com
When I started my website, it was intended that it would lean towards Apple a bit, with other interesting articles, and other interesting or important news. It was like that that for the first few weeks, but now I've gotten lazy and it's gotten to the point that it's just an average Slashdot clone with links to a bunch of News.com articles. In the coming weeks I hope to turn it around, but my biggest problem is that I don't have any help, and even a small site as it is it can be a big job looking up all that content. To that end, I'm taking applications for a coeditor or two. Benefits include, a share of the profits(if there are any), and unlimited mod points. Another problem with the site is that PHP-Nuke doesn't do all I need it too, and it does a lot more than I need(read: it's bloated). I am learning a little bit of PHP, but reshaping nuke is a big job, so I'm also looking for a part time PHP hacker. Benefits are the same as that of a coeditor. It's a young site and it would a be a shame if it died at such a young age.
I have done what many may see as impossible, my site has been running for nearly a month with over 4000 page views, and I haven't had a single troll to post in the comments. Even more impressing, three of of my four members have Slashdot karma high enough to post with a one point bonus.
I think the new site is turning out nicely. The still aren't any comments yet, but I do have one member. Since it is early on, I'm trying not to post to much stuff that gets on Slashdot (unless I find it really interesting) so I can at least attain my own identity first.
Now that I've been using it for a couple of days, PHP-Nuke is starting to grow on me, so I may just keep using it, although it still needs some changes.
Since PHP-Nuke has the framework for banner advertising built in, I'm thinking of dump my old advertising structure. It was Linkshare and I only got paid by commison. Now I just need to work out a payment rate. Since I can manage the number of impressions down to very small numbers I hope to offer ad space to small sites or small software companies and opensource projects for a low cost. Now I just need a reasonable rate, any suggestions?
I've just launched my new site using PHP-Nuke. The site aims to be like Slashdot, except a slightly different flavor. There will be things like more Apple stories on the front page, and less anime. The site is a junetech.com
I have released a new article on my site analyzing the AOL's settlement with Microsoft. You can read it here
On my site Junetech.com I have gathered recent rumors and news about Apple and formulated what I think to be a good strategy for Apple. Take a look and tell me what you think. It's right here
I've come to the conclusion that Mandrake Linux is the buggiest distro avalible. I'm using 9.1 now and it has a few critical flaws. One is the the next preview thing in nautius. It just doesn't work at all. Another it OpenOffice, it takes a very long time to start and crashes as soon as the first Windows comes up. I installed the version from openoffice.org, and it starts much more quickly and stays running. Unfortunatly the fonts aren't as nice as they are in the Mandrake version when it works. The only version of Mandrake that I've used and was relativly bug free was 8.2. Maybe 9.2 will work.
I got Mandrake 9.1 RC2 to run about a month ago, andknow I'm on the 9.1 release. I still have my Windows partition for games, although I see no indication I'll be going back for everyday use. I've got WineX to play games in linux, but it's not good enough yet. Right now I've got a CVS build and I think that may be causing some problems since Warcraft III is supposed to work well. Although my problem may be lack of memory since I have the minimum requirements for Warcraft III and I'm guessing Wine needs more memory. I'll probably get some more RAM within the next few weeks and I'll see if that fixes it. Starcraft plays flawlessly, I can't tell a difference between playing in WINE and nativly in Windows. While I can't install it, I can play Red Alert from my Windows partition. The sound and cut scene videos are really fast and it shows up in kind of widescreen leaving a 1 inch black space at the bottomof the screen, although thats better than in XP where it won't even play. I got the Linux version of Unreal Tournamet, and it won't work, although the Windows version will work in WINE with garbled delayed sound. At first my biggest problem was that my printer didn't work in Linux, but now thats okay since it's dead altogether. I guess next I'll get an Epson, or at least make sure it has up to date Linux drivers.

Climate Modelling and Analysis
Canadian Centre for Climate Modelling and Analysis
The Canadian Centre for Climate Modelling and Analysis (CCCma) is a section of the Climate Research Division of Environment and Climate Change Canada. CCCma is located on the second floor of the Bob Wright Building on the campus of the University of Victoria (see the university map).
The CCCma carries out research in modelling and analysis.
The modelling component involves;
- developing computer models of the climate system to simulate global climate, regional climate, and climate change
- attributing observed climate changes to specific causes
- predicting seasonal and longer term climate variations
In order to undertake this research, the CCCma has an ongoing model development programme. Over the years, models of increasing sophistication have been developed, permitting study of more complex climate questions. The Models page gives a brief description of past and present models.
Under the analysis component, CCCma
- analyses past and predicted climate variations to gain a deeper understanding of the climate system
- provides science–based quantitative information to the national and the international community, notably coordinated model experiments organized by the World Climate Research Programme (WCRP) and contributions to the Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change (IPCC).

Pacific Crest's Brendan Barnicle today reiterates an Outperform rating on shares of Workday (WDAY), and a $70 price target, writing that the company's new functions for "recruitment," on top of its traditional human resources applications can help "re-acclerate" revenue growth this year.
The recruitment market, helping companies find and bring in job candidates, will be worth $1.3 billion this year, writes Barnicle, on top of the company's existing market for "human capital management," or HCM, worth $16 billion presently.
Barnicle describes the recruiting function:
Workday's workforce planning feature includes head count, pipeline and sourcing analytics, which provide insight into planned and actual employee head count. It also works with job requi-sition creation, management and fulfillment. The sourcing feature focuses on candidate management, including internal and external job candidates, and active and passive candidates. It also facilitates referrals and recommendations for candidates. Finally, it supports social media integration, online job postings and recruiting marketing. The company's hiring feature enables hiring teams to collaborate and communicate about can- didate selection. It also accelerates the closing process with configurable workflows, offer letters and all other components of hiring. Finally, Workday's on-boarding features are unified with its core HR applications, which provide automated workflows to enable a faster candidate on-boarding process.
Barnicle thinks Workday may be helped by what appears to be lessened competition from Taleo, which was bought by Oracle (ORCL), and SuccessFactors, which was bought by SAP AG (SAP), both of which have been prominent vendors of recruitment software:
Through channel checks, we have heard that Taleo and SuccessFactors are far less competitive than they were as independent companies. All of Taleo's senior management and most of its sales personnel have left Oracle. Lars Dalgaard's recent departure from SAP may make it only more challenging for SAP to remain competitive. SAP is likely to lose talent and focus in HR.
Barnicle likes the prospects that Workday can rack up other markets to achieve a very large potential addressable market:
In addition, because of its unique use of object-oriented technology and its proprietary in-memory data model, Workday includes more analytical applications in its HCM applications than other vendors. So Workday also has an opportunity in the $2 billion analytical applications market. Workday has also just entered the $25 billion financial management software market, and it is having early success in industries that have a heavy human capital orientation, like services and hospitality. Finally, Workday has discussed plans to enter adjacent vertical markets. While the vertical software market is estimated at over $77 billion, it is likely that Workday will only compete in about 10% of those markets, which opens up an additional $7 billion in total addressable market (TAM). So, along with recruiting, Workday has a software TAM of $51.3 billion, which could grow to over $70 billion in the next few years.
Workday shares fell 9 cents to $62.96.

KARL HAENDEL: I call them theme-time drawings.
NARRATOR: Karl Haendel
KARL HAENDEL: A few years ago I started listening to this Bob Dylan internet radio show called Theme Time Radio Hour. And every week Bob Dylan played a bunch of songs from sort of the canon of American music, 1930s to like 70s, based on a certain theme. Ideas, lyrics, concepts that come up again and again in song.
And in my own practice for a number of years since I've started making drawings I've always been interested in these sort of like categories or types of images. And building my own kind of language with which to explore how images make meaning for us. I sense that like certain images or ideas keep getting reiterated throughout culture, and I thought that I would take each of his categories or his themes every week and I would make a drawing based on that same theme. He did one on food, he did one on coffee, he did one on alcohol.
Usually I photograph the things to make the drawings to sort of provide an outline and sort of a reference for making a drawing. And sometimes I photograph things like a newspaper article, sometimes I photograph objects, sometimes I photograph things that I draw and then re-photograph, so it can be like anything goes on this.

Fiddled around with the Debian New Maintainer site (http://nm.debian.org/) this week. It now has some pretty icons thanks to another developer. Not sure what else it needs now.
OH dear, what fun Sydney is at the moment in a pre-Olympic frenzy. Three weeks of absolute chaos but at least I won't be near it as I am taking them off. Working in the middle of the CBD, it would not be fun trying to get in.
I may spend 3 weeks playing around with gxsnmp instead.

My Star Wars Fan Film: The Lazy Jedi
I had a personal pan pizza from Pizza Hut and an order of breadsticks. It was the shiz... haven't had Pizza Hut in ages.
"That's the best deal you're gonna get. I won't tell you you can save yourself, because you can't."
I had to pick up the slack with my grandmother, my mom had to cancel last minute, so I had to suffer road food again. This time it was Burger King, my "one last chance" for this chain. Had a Whopper Jr. no mayo well-done, 4pc chicken tenders with bbq sauce, and small onion rings with zesty sauce. Whopper jr sucked, didn't do a good job burning it, very flavorless and soggy everything as usual. Tenders have really lost their luster over the last few years, even their usually decent flavor just didn't deliver, and bbq sauce not as good either. Onion Rings delivered though, and love that zesty sauce they stole.
All in all, Burger King has officially dropped to the bottom of my fast food chain, which I never would have expected 5 years ago where they were near the top (I've been down on BK in the past, then gave them another chance, but I think this is it).
Darth Vader is becoming the Mickey Mouse of Star Wars.
Kylo Ren - came from Space Brooklyn, although he moved to Space Williamsburg before it was trendy.
The use of a lightsaber does not make one a Jedi, it is the ability to not use it.
I've always preferred McDonald's to Burger King, but mostly because I am more familiar with it. It's been a long time since I've been to Burger King. When I go into a fast food place I'm not familiar with, I get confused trying to figure out the menu on the spot. Other than McDonald's, the other places I usually go to are Taco Bell and Subway, and I usually get the same thing. Chicken soft taco and/or bean burrito at Taco Bell (though the last time I went they no longer had the basic chicken soft taco, but some fancier version), and a turkey breast sub at Subway. I usually get that on wheat bread with mayo, lettuce, pickles, olives and American cheese. At McDonald's I used to get two cheeseburgers a lot, but the last few business trips I've taken where I had to eat there in the airport, I got the Filet o' fish instead.
Stopped by the deli across the street to pick up a sammich. Was good except for the surprise artichoke in there... I was contemplating some McDonalds but was watching me weight.
burger kings over here have got really lame. last few places i tried everything was tiny. dry and flavourless. i used to love their spicy beanburger but now it's like a piece of fried dirt. economic recession or not there's no excuse for bad food.
I never used to have a major preference, I tried to sample a little of everything, but lately they've made the choices easier. I think my fast food hierarchy goes something like this:
Tier 1:
Carl's Jr.
In-n-Out Burger
Tier 2:
Jack in the Box
Foster's Freeze
Hot Dog on a Stick*
Baja Fresh
Tier 3:
Del Taco
Panda Express
El Pollo Loco
Popeye's Chicken*
Papa John's (this is more about my sister than me, as it's near her house)
Tier 4:
Taco Bell
Pizza Hut
Original Tommy's* (their fries and non-chili food is tier-2 )
Tier 5:
Burger King
* - chains I don't frequent that much anymore.
Darth Vader is becoming the Mickey Mouse of Star Wars.
Kylo Ren - came from Space Brooklyn, although he moved to Space Williamsburg before it was trendy.
The use of a lightsaber does not make one a Jedi, it is the ability to not use it.
Since I moved out of my parents' house and bought my own place 5 years ago, I've only ordered pizza twice (Domino's), and only eaten out on my own a few times. Usually Subway or Taco Bell. I've eaten at the Old Country Buffet, though usually that is with family on Father's or Mother's Day or something. There have been a few times where our department at work got together for dinner for someone's birthday or a going away dinner for someone leaving the company. Business trips are about the only time I go out to eat. Olive Garden is the one we have eaten at the most, but not so much this year. My trips were shorter this year, so I only had one night to eat out, and ate at the airport on the travel days.
For quite a while at work, someone was taking orders for a weekly run to Robek's. I didn't participate except when my boss was buying for our department, but I do like the smoothies. I had a couple of gift cards and finally went there myself several months ago and got a smoothie and a wrap. It was pretty good, but also pretty pricey. I think it was $11. At least it's a lot healthier than most fast food.
I had a chicken sandwich and fries at Chick-Fil-A.
It was AMAZING.
"Woke up at 9.55am. Soon as I woke up, I looked at Suzanne and she looked at me. I said, 'Did I tell you about the immune system?' Suzanne starting laughing, I said, 'it's amazing.' She said, 'Not now.'"

FS#61 - Add support for sshfs or similarly mounted jailbroken iPod via ssh

There are two reasons, why it could be useful to have this:
1) Users like to be able to do wireless sync - there is an app from cydia which costs $9.99 (if I remember correctly) which is very highly reviewed, which is doing only that: providing wireless sync for iDevices and iTunes under Windows and Mac. I am sure there are many users who would not mind having that feature under Linux as well.
2) I have random disconnects when using the USB cable under Linux to sync tracks - it only happens when synching, and the same when mounting via gvfs or ifuse (copying files to the iPod touch works fine, by the way - no disconnects there, only when using gtkpod, banshee, rhythmbox - I haven't tested others yet). It was working when using sshfs (well - sort off - at least no random disconnect). So it could be a kind of "fallback" mechanism.
This task depends upon

The UN Special Event on the Millennium Development Goals (MDGs) held during the UN General Assembly in September 2013 was billed as the final push in discussions toward fulfilling the MDGs and developing a post-2015 framework.
IDF and partners in the NCD Alliance have launched a campaign urging governments to collaborate on diabetes and NCDs and calling for their inclusion in the future development framework and agenda. IDF continues to encourage its Member Associations to seize all opportunities to influence the dialogue.
To that end, IDF has developed a toolkit with factsheets and templates to assist Member Associations in their attempts to communicate with their governments on the urgency of including diabetes, NCDs and an overall global health approach in a post-2015 framework.
The resources included in the toolkit are downloadable and amendable for your use. Click on the links below to download the resources of your choice.

See if you vote democrat they vilianize you. Detroit votes democrat...no more need be said.
Just wait until Tenn falls victim to a change....I guess you can blame it on wellfare then too.
[QUOTE=menmon;1041520]See if you vote democrat they vilianize you. Detroit votes democrat...no more need be said.
We have complete control over our competiveness and none over the stupidity of the Fed Gov. rules and regulations. Just ask South Carolina about that.
As for spring hill, GM CLOSED THE PLANT, the only one in the state to do so. There were many offers to buy the plant from GM and without the bailout it would have been sold and the state WOULD HAVE BEEN MUCH BETTER OFF!!!!! The plant would have reopened much sooner had it been sold. What was preserved by the bailout was GM ownership of the plant, the only union auto plant in Tn. THAT'S WHAT THE BAILOUT DID.
The only victim saved was DA UNION, as RK would say. Saturn was a loser and now I wonder what loser GM will create now. Oh I forgot, we may have GM bailouts ad infinitum.
Compete with what? The textile industry? I see a lot of roads in Georgia that once lead to turpentine stills. Where are they now? Economic conditions change. Not all are communities are able to respond. No question there was some arrogance involved in the fall of Detroit. There certainly was a '"why fix it if it ain't broke mentality." But to lay the blame to one specific cause doesn't fully explain how the train wreck happened.
Detriot had a real advantage after World War II. Most of the world's non American auto production had destroyed and it took quite some time for foreign production to ramp up. When it did the initial results were a bit feeble. Remember three wheeled BMW Isettas with a motorcycle engine and a door in front. Or the early Hondas that were driven with a bicycle chain. But there techniques got better we then got that VW bug as sort of a niche car. The Japanese were able to capitalize on the oil embargo in 1973 when the Americans were still producing cars that were essentially a tennis court with two sofas in the middle. Management never saw it coming.
The Japanese cars may have been smaller but their quality control was excellent. GM was a poster car for turning out junk. It was management's action not union action that had a practice of pushing flawed vehicles out the door to get them quickly on the market and then hoped to fix them later. Remember the Vega and the Chevy Citation? Or how about the Ford Escort that should have had "Zippo " painted on the side? There was the mid 70s Chrysler products that would die in the middle of an intersection, sitting there like a big fat target.
Detroit's success had the seeds of it own destruction. As the plants were going like a house a fire in the 50's and 60's mechanization of agriculture was in full bloom in the south. This caused a migration out of fields into the industrial cities in the north--not only to Detroit but Chicago, Pittsburgh. Cleveland, Flint, etc. It created a surplus of labor. Many of the migrants were stuck in the unemployment trap and crime rates flourished. Those that could fled the central cities. Detroit didn't die, it just faded away to the suburbs.
Detroit has a dependency on a pretty limited base. But it did have other alternatives that it has not successfully pursued to full potential. It may surprise you that Detroit is the nation's second film capital. In fast, more film footage is done by Detroit based companies than Hollywood. It produces mostly of the industrial and advertising footage, but it has had some success like Gran Turino.
Localities that are dependent on one trick ponies are more vulnerable to decline than those that have a diversified economy.

[QUOTE=zeus3925;1041606]By the way, Cary, your assertion that the TVA states are now the center of auto production is not borne by facts. In terms of employment, Michigan is number one and Ohio is number two. The traditional car and parts production is still dominated by the North.
I could be wrong but I have read that Michigan is #4 in the production of autos and Tn is #1. Maybe that is wrong. What I do know is that Nissan based in smyrna Tn. continues to increase production and new hires. Same for toyota, mercedes, vw, all based in the South. Not just yesterday and today, but for last year and the year before and before that. None needed a bailout. They did not need a bailout because they have maintained quality and kept their labor costs at a level that they can remain competitive(a responsibility of management, I might add). Looking at Detroit, one might surmise that is not the case there. In any event to say that the auto industry is dominated by the north is like saying a school with the large football stadium(tennessee?)dominates even though they have a losing team(and the fans are not showing up.
PS Interesting that you should associate TVA with the states. You might check the history of TVA. The Gov. seized far more land via imminant domain at very little cost and have been selling the excess land at huge profits. Talk about the good, the bad, and the ugly, you could also have a college degree when studying TVA.

It's been about a month and a half since my breakup and I thought things were getting better...but due to circumstances which involve her with another guy after everything she told me about taking a break and sorting out her life, I've found myself at extreme unrest and anxiety. Maybe it's because she's 18 and he's 27, maybe it's because I feel like I've been lied to, betrayed, taken advantage of, unappreciated, maybe it's because I feel she's turned her back on Christ, or that it's possible she planned to be with him all along, or maybe it's just me...but I'm bothered. I don't mean to rant, but I don't think I deserved any of that. So that's the end, I want nothing to do with it, and from this point on I'll be staying out of it. I'm not asking questions, I'm not talking to her, and most of all: I take comfort knowing there aren't any situations in which I'll be obligated to see her again. The girl I once loved disappeared, became someone else.
So scratch that...I did mean to rant, and I feel glad I did. I know there must be someone out there who's willing to stick with a guy not afraid of commitment, who can promise that he will always love her.
I've only been working once a week now that school's started up again but I still found myself with plenty of free time this week. I suppose it's because the workload isn't that much to bear...yet. Third year has officially started in the way that...I'm getting assignments to actually work on. I imagine that sometime after the first midterms the workload will increase even more. I'm taking 5 courses plus a 6th online (which I have yet to start anything on) and it looks like I'll be able to bear this. This is my first time keeping a planner because I know I'd probably forget something as I have twice as much to keep track of and lots of team things I need to find time to meet for. I'll be updating my portfolio very soon. I don't have much done that's worthy to be put up just yet, but I can say I am working on an analysis diagram of the materials of a dismantled PSX controller. That'll be cool to show.
For those of you who have counted on my blog for figure photography, I apologize because September I only have two figmas coming (Miku and Kagami). I am, however, happy to report, that they are in shipping. Expect everything back on track next week. In between figure shipments I'll be talking about my design-related projects for school.

I am sorry about the girl issues you have been having. That sort of thing is one of the hardest pains to bear. Human contact with someone you love can be the best feeling in the world or be the thing that kills you.....
Other than that happy to hear about the easy weekly schedule. A lot of other bloggers seem to be having some issues with school and work, even me...cept no work XD.

@ Kairu: I did notice that. Alot have blogs have gone kind of personal, under construction, or just less and less active now that it's fall again.
And BTW: You're very right about my girl issue...I'm just having trouble coping with the fact that she's happy with another guy. I'm not able to be in contact with her at all. I told her that, and then cut myself off.

3.10: Intrusive and Extrusive Igneous Rocks
How can igneous rock be so black and shiny?
This rock is lava that rapidly cooled on Kilauea volcano in Hawaii Volcanoes National Park on the Big Island of Hawaii. The lava cooled so fast that crystals had little time to form. How does this rock compare with the granite further down this lesson?
Intrusive and Extrusive Igneous Rocks
The rate at which magma cools determines whether an igneous rock is intrusive or extrusive. The cooling rate is reflected in the rock's texture.
Intrusive Igneous Rocks
Igneous rocks are called intrusive when they cool and solidify beneath the surface. Intrusive rocks form plutons and so are also called plutonic. A pluton is an igneous intrusive rock body that has cooled in the crust. When magma cools within the Earth, the cooling proceeds slowly. Slow cooling allows time for large crystals to form, so intrusive igneous rocks have visible crystals. Granite is the most common intrusive igneous rock (see Figure below for an example).
Granite is made of four minerals, all visible to the naked eye: feldspar (white), quartz (translucent), hornblende (black), and biotite (black, platy).
Igneous rocks make up most of the rocks on Earth. Most igneous rocks are buried below the surface and covered with sedimentary rock, or are buried beneath the ocean water. In some places, geological processes have brought igneous rocks to the surface. Figure below shows a landscape in California's Sierra Nevada made of granite that has been raised to create mountains.
California's Sierra Nevada is intrusive igneous rock exposed at Earth's surface.
Extrusive Igneous Rocks
Igneous rocks are called extrusive when they cool and solidify above the surface. These rocks usually form from a volcano, so they are also called volcanic rocks (Figure below).
Extrusive igneous rocks form after lava cools above the surface.
Extrusive igneous rocks cool much more rapidly than intrusive rocks. There is little time for crystals to form, so extrusive igneous rocks have tiny crystals (Figure below).
Cooled lava forms basalt with no visible crystals. Why are there no visible crystals?
What does the andesite photo in the lesson "Types of Rocks" indicate about how that magma cooled? The rock has large crystals set within a matrix of tiny crystals. In this case, the magma cooled enough to form some crystals before erupting. Once erupted, the rest of the lava cooled rapidly. This is called porphyritic texture.
Cooling rate and gas content create other textures (see Figure below for examples of different textures). Lavas that cool extremely rapidly may have a glassy texture. Those with many holes from gas bubbles have a vesicular texture.
Different cooling rate and gas content resulted in these different textures.
- extrusive: Igneous rocks that form at Earth's surface from rapidly cooling lava.
- intrusive: Igneous rocks that form inside the Earth from slowly cooling magma.
- pluton: An igneous intrusive rock body that has cooled in the crust.
- porphyritic: Igneous rock texture in which visible crystals are found in a matrix of tiny crystals.
- vesicular: Igneous rock texture with holes that indicate the presence of gas bubbles in the magma.
- volcanic rock: Rock that originates in a volcano or volcanic feature.
- Intrusive igneous rocks cool from magma slowly because they are buried beneath the surface, so they have large crystals.
- Extrusive igneous rocks cool from lava rapidly because they form at the surface, so they have small crystals.
- Texture reflects how an igneous rock formed.
Use this resource to answer the questions that follow.
1. How are intrusive rocks formed?
2. What size are the crystals in very coarse rocks?
3. What are the most common coarse rocks?
4. How are extrusive rocks formed?
5. List the three textures for extrusive rocks.
6. Describe rhyolite.
7. Describe pumice.
8. Explain why obsidian appear black.
1. How does a rock develop a vesicular texture?
2. What are the other names for igneous intrusive rock and igneous extrusive rocks and how do they get those names?
3. What sequence of events causes a rock to develop porphyritic texture?

Looks like there are mods to the EITC and payouts to the "less fortunate" in the Cap and Tax bill. Who woulda thunk that the Dems would have thrown that stuff in there? Imagine my surprise. Also there is a provision for the general fund to be raided for Medicare and Social Security when C & T causes job losses and a corresponding drop in payroll tax revenue.

Do you have a rotating cutting mat ? If so, what do you think about it..are they any good? I'm thinking of getting one but want to see your opinions first.
Thank you
A lot of people say to save your money and just use a smaller mat, but I love mine.
I like my Omni cutting mats. I have both sizes of rotating mats. I just have to remember to use them. they do come in handy for trimming blocks and cut pieces.
I have the small Fiskars one. I mostly use it when using my small square rulers. Can't say I use it a lot, but whenever I do I'm glad I have it :)
I was so excited to get one but I rarely use it.
A friend has the Brooklyn Revolver, and uses it constantly. She does a lot of Square in a Square patterns. As I wanted one, but didn't want to spend that much $, I tried an Olfa - they are square on a black square base. Didn't work at all for me, so I gave it away. Somebody said maybe I had a defetive one (it was hard to turn), so I tried again - same thing. Then I went the home made route; didn't like that, either. By then, I could have bought the darned Brooklyn Revolver, lol.
Finally ended up buying Martelli's when it was half off. Still ridiculously expensive, but at least it works - when I want to use it, which isn't as often as I thought I would. :(
I love mine for trimming blocks. Like others, I need to remember I have it sometimes but when I'm doing a bazillion hst's - OMG - it's the best thing since cream cheese!
i got one as a gift and use it for my small dear jane blocks. i'm glad i have it. i keep it out with the dear jane project. i'm i'm doing just a smaller project, i probably wouldn't dig it out for that.
I like to put my 18 X 22 mat on top of my big one. The smaller mat turns really easily if needed.
I have both sizes and love them for squaring up blocks. They work great, no problem.

Hi. I used to be a member here a long time ago but forgot my user name. Oops. I came across the site again Google searching how to use the horse dewormer on dogs.
I have a 5 year old Beagle who has whipworms thanks to a neighbor's neglected dog. It was confirmed through a stool test. He was bloating up like crazy and we couldn't tell if it was just him being a Beagle sucking in air or something was wrong with him. Long story, but the neglected, emancipated, worm infested dog is now mine. Some people probably already know the story from another forum.
So now I have 4 dogs total I need to worm along with 1 cat. I need to worm at the same time. I bought a tube of SafeGard Horse/Cattle dewormer. 25 gram paste, 10% Fenbendazole (100mg/g). I used to use this same exact product a few years ago with cats..but the cat dosage is different for dogs! I'm still trying to figure out what the dosage is for dogs? I was reading this:
For example, a 25 lb Beagle would receive 5 ml per day for a 3 day period (total 3-day treatment consists of 15 ml).
Easy enough.. but I am not certain that this is for the tube I bought! Mine is just a syringe used for 1 or 2 horses. If I went through the vet..to get enough Panacur/Fenbendazole to worm 5 animals it would cost hundreds of dollars when one tube of this cost $8.. it's insane!
Has anyone ever done this and can point me in the right direction? Thanks.

Oral Clofarabine for Relapsed/Refractory Non-Hodgkin Lymphoma

- How to Read a Study Record
Oral clofarabine is related to two intravenous chemotherapy drugs used for this disease and works in two different ways. It affects the development of new cancer cells by blocking two enzymes that cancer cells need to reproduce. When these enzymes are blocked, the cancer call can no longer prepare the DNA needed to make new cells. Clofarabine also encourages existing cancer cells to die by disturbing components within the cancer cell. This causes the release of a substance that is fatal to the cell.
The phase I component of this research study is complete and demonstrated encouraging safety and efficacy in low-grade B-cell lymphomas. The phase II component of the trial is accruing to further study the efficacy of oral clofarabine in the treatment of relapsed non-Hodgkin lymphomas.

March 7, 2013
(Austin, Texas)—Senators Rodney Ellis (D-Houston), Wendy Davis (D-Fort Worth), Eddie Lucio (D-Brownsville) and Jose Rodriguez (D-El Paso) today filed SB 1377 and SB 1378, legislation that would tap the $12 billion Rainy Day Fund to restore devastating cuts to education and financial aid from last session, and to pay for a down-payment to expand Medicaid.
The senators stated emphatically that this funding is not a "recurring expense" but simply filling in the giant holes dug by last session's cuts. In fact, the failure to restore funding permanently enshrines those deep cuts as the new funding baseline for our children's schools.
SB 1377 and SB 1378 tap the nearly $12 billion Rainy Day Fund to fill the gaps caused by draconian budget cuts in 2011. Both SB 1377 and SB 1378 draw $4 billion from the fund and add it to the Foundation School Program. SB 1378 also draws $500 million for TEXAS Grants and other financial aid programs, and $50.4 million to expand Medicaid.
"Last session, the Rainy Day Fund, our schools and our children were held hostage to politics," said Ellis. "It is long past time to use our savings and restore funding. We repeatedly hear that the cuts made to our kids' schools were only done due to the historic shortfall we faced last session. Well the emergency has passed, and filling in the giant hole created by the legislature will be a one-time expense to get us back to where were before the cuts. So let's be clear, fixing a mistake is not 'new spending', it's simply redeeming our promises to our schoolchildren and parents."
"The leadership's failure to take responsibility to assist their own school districts is an indication that they have turned their backs on Texas families," said Davis. "Our schools are hurting. While they're struggling to make ends meet and are forced to lay off teachers and consider tax and fee hikes, the state has been sitting on millions of dollars that rightly belong to them."
"Education is enshrined in the Texas Constitution," said Rodriguez. "If we can put Rainy Day funds toward physical infrastructure, as has been proposed for water and transportation, which I support, we certainly can use our savings to shore up our most vital resource, education."
"Throughout my legislative career I have worked to improve the education of Texas children," said Lucio. "I am proud to joint-author legislation to better fund Texas public schools. Expanding Medicaid just makes fiscal sense. Today, too many uninsured Texans use emergency rooms as their only source of treatment. This is a burden on our states' hospitals. The positive impact of today's legislation will be felt most in the Valley. The Valley population is growing, yet the region has substantially higher poverty rates than Texas or the United States as a whole. Expanding access to health care for more Texans will also decrease the costs insurance consumers pay in premiums."
Last session, the legislature cut $5.4 billion from Texas schools and slashed funding for financial aid programs like TEXAS Grants. In real terms, those cuts harmed Texas schoolchildren and families:
• Texas now ranks 49th in spending on public schools, and spends $3,000 less per student than the national average. Mississippi spends more per student than Texas.
• Texas now spends about $66,000 less per elementary school classroom than the national average.
• Statewide, the number of elementary classes exceeding the 22-student class size cap set in law soared from 2,238 to 8,479.
• Overall, 25,000 school district employees lost their jobs, 11,000 of them teachers.
• Texas teachers now earn $8,200 less than those in other states, dropping Texas from 31st to 38th in average teacher pay.
The $50.4 million for Medicaid expansion will implement a Legislative Budget Board recommendation and provide the state's share of the cost of expanding coverage to the maximum extent allowed under the Affordable Care Act. The Legislative Budget Board estimates that Medicaid Expansion will cost $50.4 million in GR for this biennium and draw down $4 billion in federal match. For this expansion, Texas will receive a 100 percent match for the first three years and the match will be gradually reduced to 90 percent of funding thereafter.
Last session, those in charge set a precedent: the Rainy Day Fund could not be used even under the direst fiscal circumstances. Texas could not address an immediate, obvious crisis just in case another, bigger crisis came down the road. Of course, the legislature had voted to use virtually the entire fund four times in the past, including:
• In 1991, the Legislature spent the entire balance on public schools ($28.8 million).
• In 1993, the Legislature spent the entire balance on criminal justice matters ($197 million).
• In 2003, the Legislature appropriated "almost every penny" of the balance the Comptroller forecasted through 2005. In fact, $295 million was taken from the fund to create the Governor's Texas Enterprise Fund.
• In 2005, the Legislature appropriated $1.9 billion from the Rainy Day Fund, using almost every penny of the $2 billion available. Money was taken from the fund to create the Governor's Emerging Technology Fund.
In 2007, Governor Rick Perry even proposed using the balance in the Rainy Day Fund to pay for more tax cuts for special interests.
This session, the same leaders who forbid using the Rainy Day Fund to pay for schools and health care have proposed taking $1 billion out to pay for new roads and another $2 billion to fund the state water plan.
According to a recent Frederickpolls research poll for the Texas State Teachers Association, the vast majority of Texans support tapping the Rainy Day Fund to repair the damage we did to our children's schools and invest in the future.
(Source: Frederickpolls, February 2013)
"I know that Texas faces a severe water shortage as we move deeper in the 21st century, and we have a funding crisis in transportation," said Ellis. "But the bottom line is if we are now allowed to use the Rainy Day Fund as intended, we need to put our kids and families on equal footing with our cars and creeks. Let's restore the cuts to our children's schools and fulfill our promise to our kids."

Family: Charadriidae, Plovers view all from this family
Description ADULT MALE In summer has striking black underparts, separated from spangled gray upperparts by broad white band. In winter, looks gray overall. Close view reveals spangled black and white upperparts and whitish underparts. Legs and bill are dark. ADULT FEMALE Similar to male, but black on underparts is variably mottled. In winter, similar to male. JUVENILE Resembles winter adult, but has pale buffy wash, hence potential for confusion with golden-plovers.
Dimensions Length: 10-13" (25-33 cm)
Habitat Breeds on high Arctic tundra. In winter, almost exclusively coastal, on salt marshes and estuaries. On migration, occasionally stages on lake margins in interior.
Observation Tips Easiest to observe in winter and hence mostly seen in winter plumage. However, summer plumage is often retained briefly by birds in fall newly arrived on wintering grounds and acquired, prior to departure, in spring.
Range Western Canada, Alaska, Eastern Canada, Texas, Mid-Atlantic, California, New England, Florida, Northwest, Plains, Southeast, Rocky Mountains, Great Lakes, Southwest
Voice Utters a diagnostic pee-oo-ee call, like a human wolf-whistle.
Discussion Plump-bodied, well-marked plover. In flight, all birds reveal striking black "armpits" (axillaries) on otherwise white underwings, white upper tail, and white wing stripe. Mostly solitary outside breeding season. Sexes are separable with care in summer plumage.

don't see anything in the article that calls into question the FACT that the majority of Americans favor the stimulus bill. I wouldn't say that it is a *small* minority that opposes it, but it is still a minority.
As it turns out, people across the political spectrum are responding favorably to President Obama and his proposals:
The majority of people voted for him too.
So the majority of people are idiots . so what,,,How does that mean anything
Do you think because the majority of people voted for him that that means its good.
I believe the majority of people who voted for him lack judgement therefore they wouldn't know up from down
I wouldn't trust him to clean up my dog schnit nevermind out government.
I now hope what ever he is planning that he fails miserably because he definitely is not planning on fixing our country. he is planning on making us a more socialistic land where the lazy will sponge off the backs of the worker.
Sorry I don't have a link to prove it

Advice from the dude who knows: skate things that are difficult to skate and, that way, things that are made for skateboarding ride that much easier.
Brad McClain credits the pools of Fresno for much of his deep, round-wall, pool-coping destruction skills, which may be coming soon to a skatepark near you.
A part of the always ripping Powell/Peralta team, Brad is a Livermore, California native who transplanted south to Ventura County.
This year he plans to put some time into filming a full part, to keep traveling the world over on the contest path, and to keep skateboarding as his one and only job. It should be a good year.
You still working a job or is skating paying the bills nowadays?
Skating's actually paying the bills. It is for now, anyway.
Does it feel like it's your job?
No, it definitely doesn't feel like a job. Sometimes you'll have somewhere you need to be, but you're going there to skate, and that's not very often. Other than that, I just wake up every day and go skate wherever I want.
Was making a living off skating ever a goal for you, or just a nice way it turned out?
It's just a nice way that it turned out. I feel like a lot of people never really know what they want to do, and I was just working random jobs to pay the bills and it sort of happened.
Were you just out in Thailand?
Yeah, I was just out there for vacation, I was there for two weeks.
Bring the board, or leave it at home?
I brought it because I was supposed to go to Bangkok for a couple days, but Bangkok is in the middle of some huge political uproar right now. There's riots and a couple bombings that went off right next to the hotel I was supposed to stay at, so I decided not to go.
I was in Khao Lak and I just sat on the beach and cooked in the sun and got a ton of Thai massages everyday, pretty much just meditating.
So how'd you get so good at skating bowls?
(Laughs) That's all [your] opinion… Skating pools; I think that helped a lot.
I've got a buddy who lives out in Fresno, Josh Henderson – everybody calls him Peacock. Fresno had, at a time, the biggest foreclosure rate in California, and all those houses were built in the '50s, so it's got really good pools on all the houses.
I started going down there and skating pools with him, and pools are way harder to skate than skatepark bowls, so I think it almost, like, conditioned me. You go and skate a park afterwards and it's way easier.
Do you ever pad up and skate vert?
Yeah, I skated [Tony] Hawk's ramp a couple weeks ago. I'm not very good at it; I try. It seems like every time I go skate a vert ramp with dudes that actually skate vert, I'm totally out of my element.
Have you ever skated the mega-ramp?
I went down the roll-in, I barged it at X-Games in Munich… Not the roll-in, the landing ramp. Which is still like a small hill in San Francisco. That was like the fastest I'd ever gone, I was getting speed wobbles and couldn't make it to the top of the quarterpipe.
And that's about as much mega-ramp as you needed at that time?
Yeah, that's my mega-ramp experience. I went down the landing ramp a few times.

Former Spokane officer faces sentencing
SPOKANE, Wash. - Convicted Former Spokane police officer, Karl Thompson, will be sentenced in a federal courtroom Thursday morning. He faces up to 10 years in prison for his role in the death of Otto Zehm six years ago and for lying to investigators.
A Yakima jury found Thompson guilty of excessive force for a confrontation with Zehm in a Spokane convenience store in 2006.
In court documents, federal prosecutors argued for a 10-year sentence due to Thompson's "failure to meaningfully accept responsibility for his offense conduct...And the adverse impact he has had on the community's view of other outstanding, hardworking and honest law enforcement officers."Former Spokane officer faces sentencing
An evaluation by the court suggests Thompson should get between two and three years.
Thompson's attorneys are asking for no jail time.
In court papers, Thompson's attorney wrote, "Thompson is a man of truly outstanding character whose convictions are an aberration when compared to a lifetime of earnest dedication to law enforcement. He has suffered the loss of his lifetime career and constant public humiliation."
Defense attorneys have asked the court "to impose a just and reasonable sentence, including the alternative of no imprisonment."
Judge Fred Van Sickle also has the option of part jail time, part home confinement.
Family members of both Zehm and Thompson are expected to speak in court Thursday, along with Thompson himself.
The sentencing is scheduled to start at 9 a.m. Thursday and is expected to last most of the day.
