05/07/09: Jello & his new band play SATURDAY!
Jello Biafra is now immersed in creating an all new music album with his new band, the same one that electrified the Biafra 5-0 celebration last year:
Jello Biafra
Billy Gould (Faith No More)
Ralph Spight (ex-Victim's Family, Freak Accident)
John Weiss (ex-Sharkbait, Horsey)
plus additional guitarist Kimo Ball (ex-Freak Accident & Mol Triffid)
[The band's still arguing over the name- it is NOT Jello Biafra And The Dick Army! Jello's current favorite is Gitmo Twinkie.]
The band's playing a last minute hit and run show @ Annie's Social Club in San Francisco this Saturday May 9th!
It's going to be a short-to-medium length set so that Billy's arms don't fall off after stacking this project on top of intensive rehersals for the reformed Faith No More. Speaking of Faith No More, this is probably Billy's last live appearance with Jello's band because FNM is going on tour!
Also on the bill are local punk rock legends Social Unrest & Ribzy, plus newcomers Fix My Head and The Excuse! Don't forget back room Punk Rock & Schlock Karaoke! 21+, $10

Before you get bogged down with today's election return reports, head on over to the Sundance Channel's Voices on the Election Blog where there is an interview with Jello as well as a lot of other musicians, actors, etc.
An excerpt:
There are two things about an Obama regime that worry me the most.
1. I remember someone else who had the audacity to misuse peoples' Hope when they were desperate for a change, and his name is Bill Clinton. Let's not forget it was not Bush but Clinton who gave us NAFTA, the WTO, the Telecom Act of 1996 that opened the floodgates for Clear Channel and Fox News, and laugh out loud Abstinence-only sex "education." Clinton signed Newt Gingrich's cruel welfare reform bill at the urging of Al Gore. And, yes, it was Clinton who planted the seeds of the economic meltdown when he gleefully deregulated the banks.
If Obama turns out to be another Clinton - and surrounding himself with Biden, Lawrence Summers, Robert Rubin and Zbigniew Bzrzinsky is not a good sign - I fear he will break the hearts of whole energized generation of voters who won't feel it's worth it to participate again.
2. When Clinton got in, people rejoined "Ding Dong, Bush is gone. Now we can finally sleep at night" - and went to sleep for the next 8 years! We can't rest easy and sleep this time. There will be no change from Obama or a congress of corporate-owned Democrats unless we increase the pressure and keep a blowtorch up their ass the whole time they're in power. We need leaders, not more deal makers, Nancy Pelosi and Harry Reid (remember him?) need to be replaced with people who actually give a shit.
We stopped Vietnam. We torpedoed the Gulf War. Our civil rights and environmental awareness as we know them today didn't happen because our corporate lords granted the peasants new rights out of the goodness of their corporate hearts. They don't have any. We got where we are because we got together and fought for it. Same for the New Deal. It was us.
And the only thing standing in the way of more wars, more Abu Ghraibs and more Guantanamo Bays coming soon behind a Wal-Mart near you is us.
So don't give up, OK? Besides, causing trouble is so much fun.
This Friday, October 24, Jello Biafra will speak at a Nader for President event featuring Nader's running mate Matt Gonzalez.

Jello called us from Denver today. He wondered what possessed Hillary Clinton to wear her trademark pantsuit in "prison jumpsuit" orange. He was also appalled that as a woman, she didn't address reproductive rights and remind the audience how horrible a McCaine Supreme Court would be.
Jello said the only big protest march was one held by Iraq Veterans Against the War, which drew 3000 people according to media estimates (AlterNet says 7000, IVAW says 10,000 btw). There was a standoff between the IVAW marchers and the Denver police, but eventually an IVAW rep was allowed to cross into the convention grounds to present a letter to a representative from the Obama campaign.
The city of Denver apparently received $50 million in grants for all the security measures they had to take for the convention. While there are miles and miles of fencing that block off open areas and dump trucks blocking strategic intersections, Jello wonders who pocketed most of the money because it couldn't have cost 50 million bucks. Especially considering that the biggest demonstration drew 3-10,000 people, $50M seems like overkill.

Discussion in 'The Trash Can' started by blue_idealist, Sep 4, 2012.
Same thing as the ones for bronze.
I would Klimova & Ponomarenko 1988, the only one of the silver performances that actually deserved gold.
Regöczy & Sallay in 1980 did not just divide the judges so much that they almost won but they also won 1980 worlds so they seemed to have a real momentum and skill that was not just isolated to an Olympics. It may not be the best but came to mind almost immediately!
That was a good one, I decided not to include the '80s because I'm not too familiar with MOST of the performances myself.
That is why I voted "other".
Yay Davis and White
None of those are phenomal just good. Davis & White werent that developed artistically yet in 2010 and their POTO was pretty bland but technically superb. Belbin & Agosto were 4th in the FD in 2006. Lobacheva & Averbuhk had a much better OD than FD, I cant believe they nearly won with that program, but then again no FDs were great that night. I did not like Krylova & Ovsiannikov's Carmen which was way overdone. Usova & Zhulin's FD in 94 was very dissapointing, even if they were .1 from winning gold. The Duchensays programs in 92 were nowhere near their creative standards, and they were never exceptional technicians.
I honestly dont know who to pick. Maybe I should vote for the best OD. In which case my choice would be Krylova & Ovsiannikov in 98, although Usova & Zhulin in 94, Lobacheva & Averbuhk in 2002, and Belbin & Agosto in 2006 were also great. K&O and U&Z both had very strong CDs as well
I went with 'other'. I loved Klimova & Ponomarenko's performances at the 1988 Olympics. Their skating skills completely blow B&B's out of the water.
and they were easily better than anyone on this poll too Seriously are there any great FDs on this poll? The 80s silver FDs were all better, plus M&M in 76, even B&B in 84 (desite that vs the field present that year I had them only 3rd or 4th).
I think K/P's skating skills blow every other skaters' skills out of the water.
Therefor, my vote goes to the Duchesnays, who were one judge short of winning against them (K/P) in '92, with a very difficult program.

Bickmore on the WSJ response
Guest commentary from Barry Bickmore (repost)
The Wall Street Journal posted yet another op-ed by 16 scientists and engineers, which even include a few climate scientists(!!!). Here is the editor's note to explain the context.
Editor's Note: The authors of the following letter, listed below, are also the signatories of"No Need to Panic About Global Warming," an op-ed that appeared in the Journal on January 27. This letter responds to criticisms of the op-ed made by Kevin Trenberth and 37 others in a letter published Feb. 1, and by Robert Byer of the American Physical Society in a letter published Feb. 6.
A relative sent me the article, asking for my thoughts on it. Here's what I said in response.
Hi [Name Removed],
I don't have time to do a full reply, but I'll take apart a few of their main points.
Page 1 of 3 | Next page


text: >If so, is there any reason that would couldn't modify the cell size below 4.9mm? Say 4.6mm?For what purpose? Naturally they run down as low as 4.6mm in the core of the brood nest, but that is more of an exception than a rule. If you let them build what they want it will be a variety of sizes with most of the worker brood in cells between about 5.1mm and 4.9mm. But a whole hive of 4.6mm would not be natural. A whole hive of 4.9mm is a compromise that is still not natural, but sufficient to handle the Varroa and, if you want all the same size cells, seems to be about the right size.

Free personalized radio that
plays the music you love
A significant stylistic shift occurred with Freedom, his third album. The December 2008 release avoided the rugged hip-hop/R&B hybrid of his earlier work and courted a broader audience with a dance-oriented Euro-pop sound. Despite the bold change, the album repeated Konvicted's chart success by peaking within the Top Ten of the Billboard 200; "Right Now (Na Na Na)," its most successful single, reached the Top Ten of the Hot 100. Akon slowed his own output but subsequently collaborated with dozens of artists, including David Guetta (the world-wide smash "Sexy B**ch," 2009), Artists for Haiti ("We Are the World 25 for Haiti," 2010), parodists the Lonely Island ("I Just Had Sex," 2010), and close friend Michael Jackson ("Hold My Hand," 2010). A fourth album, Stadium -- originally planned for a 2010 release -- was delayed several times. ~ Johnny Loftus

Fellas, my dad and I have been travelling to NE corner of Nebraska to hunt pheasants the past 5 years. Last year he killed a spectacular bird in our eyes and its at the taxi getting the finishing touches on it. I want to surprise him by making it extra special and I've been looking for the past 3 months to find it with no luck. I'm looking for a used Pheasants Forever Wildlife Managament type sign. I am going to have the taxi mount it to the fence post we brought back from out there. I've tried looking on ebay and PF's online store but the only thing they have are plastic versions. While its close to what I am looking for I'm afraid it just will not fit right... especially since the fencepost is an old cedar post that is quite weathered. I guess you can say I am looking for a vintage type sign.
I'm not looking or asking for anyone to tear down a sign they see! But if there are landowners out there who would be willing to take one of theirs down or has one in their barn they would be willing to sell me I would be quite grateful. I would be more than happy to reimburse you for shipping and whatever you think the sign is worth. I will also buy a replacement sign from PF's online store and have it shipped to you.
Just trying to do something special for my dad and thought this could be the ticket. I have contacted PF but have not heard anything back yet.
Feel free to PM me.
Thank you-

The Senate is one of the two houses of the Australian Federal Parliament. It consists of 76 senators, twelve from each of the six states and two from each of the mainland territories. It shares the power to make laws with the other House of the Parliament, the House of Representatives.
The Senate in the 45th Parliament contains its largest cross-bench of 21 senators (9 AG and 12 others), compared with 18 senators (10 AG and 8 others) at the end of the 44th Parliament. Previously, the highest number had been 13 senators, in 2002-2005.
State senators have been divided into two classes: short-term senators whose terms expire on 30 June 2019, and long-term senators whose terms expire on 30 June 2022. On 31 August the Senate decided to allocate senators according to the order of their election. Details of senators' terms of service are available on this page.
On 7 November under section 376 of the Commonwealth Electoral Act 1918, the Senate referred two matters to the High Court. Both involved the qualification of senators under section 44 of the Constitution. The first involved a possible pecuniary interest relating to the lease for an electoral office for former Senator Day, who had resigned as a senator for South Australia on 1 November. The second matter related to Senator Culleton and involved a conviction for larceny which was subsequently annulled, but had stood throughout the election period.
On 18 December 2016, Senator Culleton resigned from Pauline Hanson's One Nation Party to sit as an independent senator. On 11 January 2017, the President of the Senate informed the Governor of Western Australia of a vacancy due to Senator Culleton being disqualified from the position due to a declaration of bankruptcy.
On 3 February 2017 the Court of Disputed Returns determined that Mr Culleton had not been validly elected in the 2016 election, and that the vacancy in the representation of Western Australia should be filled by a recount of ballots. The recount occurred on 7 March 2017, and as a result Peter Georgiou from Pauline Hanson's One Nation Party was elected to fill the vacancy.
In a judgment handed down on 5 April 2017, the Court of Disputed Returns found that Mr Bob Day had not been validly elected and ordered a special count of ballots to fill the vacancy. The recount was conducted on 13 April and, on 19 April 2017, the High Court declared Lucy Gichuhi as a senator for South Australia. Senator Gichuhi has indicated that she will sit as an independent senator.
On 7 February 2017, Senator Bernardi announced his resignation from the Liberal Party and now sits as an Australian Conservatives senator.

Sarah Rauen is in her third season overall on the Green Bay staff and her first as the top assistant coach with the program. Rauen was promoted to the top assistant spot in August 2011 after spending the 2010 season as a part-time assistant coach.
Rauen played for Kirch as a member of the Green Bay volleyball team from 2003-07, playing for four seasons and serving as a student assistant coach in 2007. During her time in the program, she was a two-time team captain (2005-06) and a two-time Horizon League Defensive Player of the Week. The defensive specialist is also second all-time in career digs at Green Bay with 1,519 and was part of Green Bay's 2003 Horizon League championship team.
"Sarah has done a great job for us in a part-time role and I'm looking forward to seeing the kind of impact she can make in the full-time position," said Kirch. "As a former player, she knows what it means to be a part of the Green Bay volleyball program and she has helped instill that pride in our current roster. She was on our Horizon League championship team, so she knows what it takes to win. She has a strong desire to be a college volleyball coach and she has what it takes to be successful in this profession."
Aside from her duties as a part-time assistant at Green Bay, Rauen has also worked as the general manager of Graystone Ale House and as a manager for The Bar, Inc. Prior to joining the staff at Green Bay last season, Rauen worked as an assistant coach in the De Pere School District from 2008-10.
Rauen graduated Magna Cum Laude from UW-Green Bay in Dec. 2007 with a Bachelor of Science in Human Biology. She had academic honors in each semester, was Academic All-Horizon League and was on the Horizon League Honor Roll multiple times. In 2006, she was named CoSIDA/ESPN Academic All-District.
"I am very excited to work with Debbie and continue to reinvest in a volleyball program that I have a lot of pride in," said Rauen. "We have a great group of returning players who have the ability to take this program to new heights, and I can't wait to continue to work with them in this capacity. This was a great place to play, and I am looking forward continuing my coaching career at Green Bay."

Discussion in 'Pistons and NBA' started by dba, Oct 28, 2009.
...As long as Pop is coaching 'em up, I ain't gonna count those old farts out.
Afflalo played very well last night. His outside shot has continued to improve and I love his transition game becuase he is very much a North/South player who does not waste time dribbling.
Just a good solid player who can score some, block shots, rebound and won't back down. A very interesting fellow also, I can't believe I kind of like him.
What are you smokin?
Which part, you got to admit the kid can play. I've read a couple of interviews with him and he is way worldlier than your average NBA player.
Not only was his father a french tennis player, but his grandfather was a professional soccer player from the Camaroon and his mother was Miss Sweden 1978. Yep he is more wordly than the average BB player who has born in the USA and has never been outside the states other than visiting the Toronto when his team played the Raptors
He's on my list in the "hate thread".
Wow, everyone's favorite Dwayne Wade just threw down a viscous dunk on Clownboy Varejao that made Will Bynum's dunk from last night look like a one handed set shot into a peach basket. Clowny ended up flat on his back with his legs in the air like he go knocked out.
Will's dunk was better I thought.
LBJ and Wade just put up one helluva 1st qtr, very entertaining, Mia looks pretty good too-btw, they very well could end the season winning the Southeast Division.
Are you getting disoriented watching the game because you keep confusing Wade for Rodney Stuckey like I am? I keep looking around for the rest of the Pistons.
Well Wade sat out the first 6.5 minutes of the second qtr, but still leads the team in shots taken tonight (3~8 shooting), 3 turnovers, and only 2 assists.....yep dem Stuckey numbers...
MJ's jersey hanging in the Miami arena??? who do they think he is Jackie Robinson??? Pat Riley is a tool Reggie Miller needs to chill on his making MJ the saint of NBA His jersey will never hang at the Palace of Auburn Hills...
LeBron James giving up 23 out of respect for Michael Jordan - Sports Rumors - NBA - Yahoo! Sports Breaking nooooooooze!!!
Maybe LBJ will never figure it out, but it ain't the jersey around the heart that counts.
Looking at the game last night I noticed that Wade is a 1/2 step faster than Stuckey. That 1/2 step is the difference between a charge and a blocking foul right now. When Wade attacks the rim he usually makes contact with the help defenders shoulder, while Half Step Stuckey, gets them square in the chest (Charging Foul) because he can't get their fast enough to catch contact on the rotation. Small yet significant difference between the two.
Rather than release a statement about how he is honored to be recognized by James and how LeBronn is an amazing player blah. blah, blah... - I'm sure that MJ will come out with a soundbyte stating how it's about time that the #23 is going back to it's rightful owner and how young players haven't earned the right to wear it. He'll go on to spew som BS about how he could go out right now and score 30pts on LeBronn and shut him down on D.
True, then there is also the fact that Wade can jump twice as high which also makes a big difference. Wade is trying to go over you while Stuckey has to go through you. Wade played the point his rookie year, didn't he? Didn't really struggle with it either.
Good point. Maybe Joe should think about bringing him in for a workout.
And like it or not, that's the kind of attitude and drive it takes to win multiple championships.

A little history on myself.
I've grown up in the outdoors my entire life. I live in the East Valley in Arizona. I'm 35 and the mother of 3 with a new 3-month old baby. I followed my husbad around on all of his hunts for so many years that eventually I picked up a gun and tried it myself. Well, I love it. It's not just the hunt, but being outside, enjoying good company at times, and the birds are like the icing on the cake for me.
My husband and I have different schedules and are finding it hard to get away together to hunt because of the new baby. I so hate being left behind and watch him come home with his ducks, quail, doves. I want to be out there. I want to go too. Our schedules enable us to go separately a lot more than together, but I've only been actually hunting myself last year and this year, so I am relatively new to it. I'm not sure if I'm entirely comfortable going out by myself yet.
I would love to meet someone else who would like to go hunting with me. We have all the equipment, including dog (but I doubt he'd let me take her yet because I'm not up to par on her training). I was just wondering if there is anyone else out there in the same boat as me. I can go pretty much anyday with a little notice.
For me, it doesn't matter if it is a man or a woman, but unfortunately in today's day and age we never know for certain who people are and I am a cautious person by nature. Maybe a guy is reading this and has a wife who likes to hunt too and can mention this to her.
Any ideas, thoughts?
Signed: I just wanna hunt!

Hi everyone
Can anyone help with the following problem: how to get TEFL jobs at age 72?
I have just returned from Mongolia, where I have been teaching English successfully. Before that I was teaching in Australia.
But every time I now answer a job ad, I am told I am too old at 72. In Mongolia I was described as "The best teacher in the school." (Mongolian graduate) An accountant from Cairo I taught said, "You are a truly excellent teacher." My age didn't bother any of them.
I have TEFL qualifications and a Master's Degree from Cambridge University. I am fit as a fiddle and swim half a mile each morning, cycle, walk etc. Yet I have been told "Too old at 60" by the Chinese. "Too old" by Saudi Arabia. Turned off by the Russians etc.
Is there anywhere in the world that still takes English teachers (native British) at the age of 72 and beyond? Surely there must be, or why would I have been allowed to qualify in this subject?
Yours, disgruntled by ageism. Phillip Riley

Only Teen BlowjobsThat's right...ONLY TEENS! We place ads in local papers, scour the web, chat rooms, the mall and local teen clubs for girls to suck dick on camera. The only thing better than getting a great blowjob is getting a blowjob from a doe-eyed teen! We've got 'em here!


text: We had the thread about the worst long after leading the short. What were some memorable comebacks after a nightmare short? The first one to come to mind for me was Yu Na Kim at 2010 worlds. Bombing the short, she then came back and had a very good (but not great LP) to win the the free skate and win silver overall. Maria Butyrskaya at 1997 Europeans- 9th in the short, then came back to place top 3 in the free to place 4th overall Lu Chen at the 1995 Trophee Lalique- placed near dead last in the SP after missing every jump in the SP, she then went on to win the free program and won silver.

So, you've found yourself once again entering a bunch of text into an Excel worksheet… and once again, the text is getting repetitive.
Let's say that you've got a list of employees and need to enter the department they work in for each one. This means that you're in column B typing the same things over and over again – after all, there are a finite number of departments and multiple people work in each one.
Now, I know that when you begin to type text into Excel it tries to match it up with text already in the column, allowing you to hit the Enter key and let Excel finish the typing – assuming it was the text you needed.
A very helpful feature… most of the time. But when your text is similar and starts with the same string of letters you're forced to type quite a lot each time before Excel can figure out which one you need.
Is there a way around all the duplicated efforts?
Why, yes there is… why else would I ask?
Next time, with an empty cell selected, try Alt + the down arrow.
You'll find that a drop down list of the text already entered into the column will appear.
At this point it's just a matter of letting go of the Alt key and using the arrow key to move through the list.
Once you've selected the entry you need, hit the Enter key.
Voila! Repetitive text entered, no actual typing required.

Ooooooooooh! Aaaaaaaaaaah! Summer is in full swing, which means Fourth of July fireworks aren't far away. While driving this past weekend, I was astonished by the number of billboards advertising fireworks. Little did I know, consumer firework consumption has increased by 920 percent since 1976. When it comes to my family and I, I've always left fireworks to the professionals since this is the best way to stay safe. It is estimated there are nearly 10,000 firework-related injuries requiring emergency room visits every year. Common sense dictates many of the firework safety precautions. Here is a nice safety test to review before using fireworks:

Johns Hopkins Institute for NanoBioTechnology will present a screening of an episode of the Science Britannica show "Clear Blue Skies," whichaired on the BBC earlier this year. This episode discusses the importance of funding for basic and translational research.
The video (about 50 mins long) is hosted by Brian Cox, a physicist from the University of Manchester, who describes the history of funding for scientific research and highlights some key discoveries from Britain. Since it is incumbent on the scientific community to ensure that the general public and politicians understand the importance of science funding, this video provides an important perspective on this topic.
The screening will be Friday, November 22 at 5 p.m. in Shaffer 3 on the Homewood Campus. This screening is free and open to the entire Johns Hopkins Community, but seating is limited. Afterward, there will be an informal discussion about the importance of science funding with INBT director Peter Searson, professor of materials science and engineering at JHU.

The shoes were beautiful and the heel was appropriate for my child but they were very hard to bend and didn't have good cushion for her feet. I had to get foot pads in order to get her through the trick or treating part of Halloween.

|Reviews and Articles Discussion for Techgage content is located here. Only staff can create topics, but everyone is welcome to post.
|Topic Review (Newest First)
|So, I take it that you've seen the light...especially after reading about the flow chamber and seeing the testing done with the Swiftech heatsink where he concludes that the higher the fin count, the higher the wind resistance.
I know I'm right. I'd hate taking your money...you probably work for the government so you need it worse than I do
The fact of the matter is when you stack thin plates in a high density it creates wind resistance and you have to have a higher velocity fan to overcome that resistance. This is why the Black Ice Pro series of radiators is tuned for low to medium flow fans and the Extreme series is tuned for high flow to a push-pull high flow fan config. It uses the same principal. The Black Ice Pro rads are thinner with a lower fin pitch or density. There are fewer fins per inch. The Black Ice Extreme is thicker with a higher fin pitch so it's got a denser fin count and offers way more resistance.
Yes, I know this is about air coolers but here's where I can show you I'm correct and that Rory was also correct. If you go to www.overclockers.com and read this article maybe you'll understand that pushing air through a high density object with a relatively low pressure fan isn't quite the same as moving air with a turbine.
I'll put up $20 that says I'm right.
|There's a difference between the moving stator in a turbine and the fixed horizontal fins of a HSF. You might take exception with his statement but it is nonetheless true. The higher the fin count and the higher the fin density the lower the flow due to resistance to air flow. A moving stator acts as a compressor by forcing air through the fins due to shear caused by the motion of the stator and forward motion of the motor through the air. The fins in a heatsink don't move and there is no forward motion to help force the air through them. Instead you have a motionless layer of metal with X fin density comprised of fins of Y thickness with air being forced through it by a fan (Z) with a a rating of so many mm of H20 displacement. It's still based on fluid dynamics only the heatsink is the baffle behind the compressor rather than the compressor itself.
Thermaltake TMG A2 CPU Cooler review
As a gas turbine technician (jet engine guy) I must take exception to the following statement:
Close fin spacing creates high airflow impedance, reducing low-airflow effectiveness
Knowing what I know about aero/fluid dynamics, I know that the closer your blades are together (and the more surface area they occupy) in a fan, the greater the volumetric efficiency of the device. Ever seen a turbo-fan or turbo-jet engine with 4 or 5 fan blades? If fan blades spaced far apart is somehow a good idea, then our jet engine designers have been getting it all wrong for a great many years. Closely spaced fan blades are a plus, not a minus. If you 'd like to test that theory, cut off half the blades and measure the resulting airflow change.
|Rory Buszka
|A quick note -- I did stop the chipset fan while listening to the noise these coolers produced.
|Rob Williams
Thermaltake TMG A2, AT2 Coolers
Thermaltakes slogan for their TMG cooler lineup is "Quality Life Starts With Silence." We have been pleased with the cooling performance of their products in the past, but silence and good cooling ability are two difficult things to put together. Let's take a look at how well both the A2 CPU cooler and AT2 GPU cooler perform in our tests.

In July 2004, a team of Netscape veterans founded The Multiverse Network, Inc., a company aiming to become the worlds leading network of Massively Multiplayer Online Games (MMOGs) and 3D virtual worlds. Multiverse has pioneered a new technology platform designed to change the economics of virtual world development by providing independent game developers with the resources they need to enter and compete in the $2 billion online game market.
When Multiverse's team of world-class engineering and business professionals worked at Netscape in the very early days, they helped architect the Internet-based platforms now used by hundreds of millions of people worldwide. Other ground-breaking companies have made significant contributions to include Borland, Silicon Graphics, Excite, and Netflix. The full Multiverse team also includes video game industry veterans.
The Multiverse Solution
Multiverse's unique technology platform will change the economics of virtual world development by empowering independent game developers to create high-quality, Massively Multiplayer Online Games (MMOGs) and non-game virtual worlds for less money and in less time than ever before. Multiverse solves the prohibitive challenges of game creation by providing developers with a comprehensive, pre-coded client-server infrastructure and tools, a wide range of free content--including a complete game for modification--and a built-in market of consumers. The Multiverse Network will give video game players a single program--the Multiverse Client--that lets them play all of the MMOGs and visit all of the non-game virtual worlds built on the Multiverse platform.
For the first time, indie developers will have the opportunity to create the virtual worlds they've been dreaming about. And many of these new worlds will attract players who are completely ignored by todays MMOG publishers.
This is the start of a revolution.
Publisher: Multiverse Network Inc.
Platforms: PC w/ other platforms planned
Product: 3D MMO - client/server
Status: In development, release TBA
Link: Official Site
Personal Entry
I was surprised MV was not listed. Yes, it is in development but you can start work on your own MMO. If you have the ability and or team, may as well take advantage of the time by starting to develop your own assets, modifications, quests, etc.
Free client/server download, demo world as well, assets included. Costs .. only if you make a profit. There are other plans in place, some of which you will need to contact them. Though, atm it is 10% of your profits. If you do not make a profit .. neither do they.
The client/server does not provide the source code, if you want something like that, you will need to contact them (check FAQ). What you can do is make modifications or unplug modules and plug your own in. If you don't like the combat, unplug it and write your own. This is not a drag and drop, Iron Python, XML, C++, 3D and 2D applications knowledge will be needed.
Anyhow, thought I drop this here given it is an MMORPG engine .. err, solution.

text: Ok, so I have been skating for about 2 months now. I am doing backward crossovers and backward edges on the circle still. I feel most safe practicing these techniques on a hockey circle, because I am still learning and have a hard time stopping sometimes. I figure this allows other skaters to skate around me and keeps me from running into them. There is a problem though, I understand that the corners are where most advanced skaters practice their jumps. I find myself in their way at times and do my best to move, but I still feel bad about it. I was thinking I could practice around the middle circle, but I have been told that the middle is more for advanced skaters? With that said, does anyone have any suggestions as to where I should be practicing my techniques as a beginner? Should I just start skating around the rink like everyone else? Most of the skaters at my rink are advanced, so I really have no one to relate to on this issue. Sorry if this seems like a dumb question, but I'm starting to feel tension with other more advanced skaters on the ice, as well as one of the coaches when I happen to get in their way.

Republican presidential candidate Rudy Giuliani came out verbally swinging against Hillary Clinton's proposal to give every newborn American child a $5000 bond that could be used for education. He claimed the idea was "socialist" in nature and would cost $20 billion. He argued the cost of the plan would hurt all Americans. "And, you know who it comes out of– yours, mine, hardworking Americans, hard earned dollars. Twenty billion dollars. And we're going to have to add to that the cost of the large bureaucracy that's going to have to print up the bonds, right with Hillary's picture on them."
I'm glad Rudy G. is concerned about the American tax payer. He reiterated his support for Bush's tax cuts which cost over $1 trillion (not twenty billion, but $1 trillion) and resulted in the average American receiving the grand total of about $300 while wealthy people received millions. Warren Buffet, a billionaire, complained that the tax cut benefited him while his secretaries got next to nothing. I'm certain Billy Gates would be more than willing to trade in $10,000 for his two children for the Bush tax cut which got him millions. It would help if Rudy G. actually read some history. "Socialism" refers to government ownership of the means of production. How can it be "socialism" to give each American child a $5000 bond which they can use in deciding their education? The more Rudy G. speaks , the more it becomes apparent this is a one note man–9/11 over and over again. By the way, Rudy G. gets at least $100,000 a speech for uttering platitudes about his heroics, if he wants to term that "hard work," so be it. Of course, while doing this "hard work," Rudy G. insists on traveling in a private jet, having an entire floor of a hotel for his staff and himself, and even deciding who eats at his table. Perhaps, Mr. Giuliani can tell the rest of us how to get such "hard work." Maybe I can get one of those bureaucratic jobs printing up the bonds. Today, I received four commercial prints outs advertising products — I wonder if those corporations hire an army of bureaucrats to print them up?

Q: Graphical Features.
I'm wondering if there is a solution to this problem:
Is there a way of changing the Label of a Plot like this one:
ListPlot[list, LabelPlot ->"xyz"]
without modifying the input text and re-evalueting it?
This is impossible for me because in several notebooks I haven't
write down the values of that 'list' and it is very
time-consuming for me to rebuild that list
( for example imagine 'list' as the values at different times
of an energy function or cost function of a neural net
trained for long time with BackPropagationError rule)
Any suggestion will be appreciated very much.
Please e-mail me rather than post at
rossiale at unive.it
Thanks in advance for helpful hints and suggestions.

The SssCat is brought to you by PetSafe and it's a great product for keeping your cat off of countertops, out of plants and planters, and away from anything else in your home or yard. When your cat gets too close to whatever you'd like to deter it from there will be a spray emitted which will teach your cat to stay away from that area. Of course it's possible that a couple sprays will be wasted in the beginning because your cat may be curious and will set it off an extra time or two in trying to understand what's occurring. After that the cat should stay away or the SSSCat will keep it away. The system uses an odorless spray so you won't have to worry about your cat smelling or any scent related allergies being an issue on your part.
One thing that is really great about this type of system is that the corrections happen on their own even without you knowing and because it does all the work your pet won't connect the experience to you unlike if you had to constantly shoo your pet off of counters etc. This will keep your pets attitude towards you in higher spirits than if you were actively involved in all the corrections.
How it works:Utilizing a spray can and a motion detector the SSSCat will quickly dispense an odorless spray that will startle your cat and over time educate them that they are not allowed there. The sensor has a 3 foot range so as to prevent any unwanted spray occurrences. Each can has 200 sprays so the can that comes with this will last you a good long while. Additional cans can be purchased as well. Not included in your purchase is the batteries needed for the motion detector of which 4 AAA are needed. An added bonus to the SSSCat over similar systems is it has an adjustable nozzle which allows you to have more control over the corrections your able to do.

NY Times repeated falsehood about race and Social Security
Research ››› ››› SIMON MALOY
A June 19 New York Times article repeated the false claim that Social Security shortchanges African-Americans because of their lower-than-average life expectancies. In fact, both the Social Security Administration (SSA) and the Government Accountability Office (GAO) have refuted this claim.
The Times reported: "Groups with shorter life expectancies, like African-Americans, receive fewer benefits than those who live longer." But Stephen C. Goss, then-deputy chief actuary of the SSA (now chief actuary) and Robert J. Myers, former SSA chief actuary, both refuted this claim in 1998, noting that the rate of return on Social Security for African-Americans (and other racial and ethnic minority groups) is equal to or greater than for the white population, as Media Matters for America has noted. Similarly, GAO (then known as the General Accounting Office) concluded in an April 2003 report titled "Social Security and Minorities" that "[i]n the aggregate, blacks and Hispanics have higher disability rates and lower lifetime earnings, and thus receive greater benefits relative to taxes than whites."
Because a retiree's monthly Social Security benefit level is based on his or her pre-retirement income, it's literally true that blacks -- who have lower average incomes than whites -- receive "fewer benefits" in raw dollars than whites. But this discrepancy is unrelated to life expectancy. Social Security's benefit structure is progressive -- i.e., lower-income workers get more from Social Security benefits than what they paid in taxes, while higher-income workers get less than they paid in -- so, blacks often receive a higher return.
While blacks do have lower life expectancies than whites, this difference has little impact on the two groups' rates of return on Social Security. That's because the lower life expectancy among blacks is largely due to higher mortality rates for black infants and children. But infants and children who never contribute to Social Security are not shortchanged by not receiving benefits. By contrast, blacks who do reach retirement age -- having contributed to Social Security for their entire working lives -- live nearly as long into retirement as whites. According to a 2004 report by the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention's National Center for Health Statistics, the difference in life-expectancy for blacks and whites who survive until age 65 (depending on birth cohort) is only about two years.
The Times' falsehood mirrors one of President Bush's talking points in support of his proposal to partially privatize Social Security. Economists Dean Baker and Mark Weisbrot noted the underlying cynicism in this approach to Social Security's purported racial inequities in a January 18 Center for Economic Policy and Research report. They wrote: "One policy approach would be a renewed emphasis on efforts to close the racial gap in life expectancy and income. However, the direction of President Bush's comments, like the assumptions in these projections, is to take these race or gender based differences as facts, and then adjust government policy accordingly."

"I'm sure that some tasters will love this dish. The flavors are very good. I just didn't like the texture of the peach. So even though I give the peach a "fair" rating, I give the cream cheese filling an "excellent" rating! Put it between a couple of graham crackers and YUM!"

Greensboro, N.C. • Dez Wells gave the floor a hard slap, and No. 2 Duke certainly felt it.
It knocked the Blue Devils out of the Atlantic Coast Conference Tournament early and maybe off the No. 1 seed line for the NCAA Tournament, too.
Wells scored a career-high 30 points and Maryland upset Duke 83-74 on Friday night in the ACC Tournament quarterfinals.
Wells was 9 of 13 from the field and 10 of 10 from the free-throw line to lead the seventh-seeded Terrapins (22-11), who delivered the first big shocker of the week in Greensboro and will play third-seeded North Carolina on Saturday in their first semifinal appearance since 2009.
"You have to be good and be lucky to beat a great team. We're a little bit of both," Maryland coach Mark Turgeon said. "Watching them play tonight, I think they fully expected to win that game and that's a good feeling when you have such a young basketball team to play on such a big stage in such a big game and to play with the poise that they played tonight."
They never trailed, held the league's best team from 3-point range to 4-of-25 shooting from beyond the arc, and bolstered their NCAA Tournament credentials by beating Duke for the second straight time.
"One of the things during this time of the year ... is that if you lose, it's final," coach Mike Krzyzewski said. "Our team did not feel that. And now we have to understand that that's the way it is. I mean, if you don't do it, it's done. I don't care what your record was, or whatever. It's over. It's one and done."
Mason Plumlee had 19 points to lead the second-seeded Blue Devils (27-5), whose quest for a No. 1 seed in the field of 68 took a jolt.
North Carolina 83, Florida State 62 • In Greensboro, N.C., P.J. Hairston scored 21 points to help North Carolina beat Florida State in the Atlantic Coast Conference Tournament quarterfinals. Hairston hit five 3-pointers before leaving late in the game with a cut on his left hand, while Reggie Bullock added 17 points for the third-seeded Tar Heels (23-9).
No. 19 Syracuse 58, No. 5 Georgetown 55, OT • In New York, Brandon Triche scored the go-ahead basket early in overtime and Syracuse advanced to the Big East championship game with a victory over Georgetown in the final conference clash of their storied heavyweight rivalry.
The fifth-seeded Orange (26-8) will make their 15th appearance in the tournament title game and go for their sixth crown Saturday night at Madison Square Garden against fourth-ranked Louisville.
No. 4 Louisville 69, Notre Dame 57 • In New York, Russ Smith scored 20 points and Peyton Siva added 12 to lead Louisville to a victory over Notre Dame, the third straight year the Cardinals beat the Fighting Irish in the semifinals of the Big East Tournament.

Fan struck by tire at Daytona Speedway talks to WFTV
ORLANDO, Fla. - Channel 9 talked with a race fan who was struck by a tire that came off Kyle Larson's race car and into the stands during a Nationwide Series race at the Daytona International Speedway on Saturday.
Dan Germeroth, 56, of North Carolina, was grazed in the head by the tire.
"The only thought was, 'Oh, my gosh. It's going to hit us,' and it did," said Germeroth. "I was bleeding out of the top of my head. I was knocked out, unconscious."
Germerothwas rushed to Halifax Medical Center, where he received 12 stitches in his head.
But Germeroth's friends told him a teenager sitting behind him was seriously hurt, taking the brunt of the impact.
In all, 33 fans were hurt at the race. Seven are still being treated for traumatic injuries.
A tweet from a Tony Stewart fan thanked the driver for stopping by a hospital, saying his visit to her Michigan friends "really made a difference."
Police have not been able to provide WFTV with a detailed report of the accident, and the Daytona Speedway is refusing to release the names of the victims, only saying that they've met with them.
Everyone is expected to recover.

The damages as of Mon. morning lol
I have a bunch more pics but just more of the same for the most part. We were supposed to leave on the 19th but I-80 going through Ne. was closed so we extended our vaca till the 21st. Here's my thoughts on this trip.
Arapahoe Basin I love this place, I've always considered this a great training ground for anything. When they have enough snow there is a little of everything, from an excellent learning center, great instructors to being able to hike chutes all inbounds. The staff is the most friendly out of all the places I've been in Summit (except maybe Loveland, bout the same vibe) If you are looking for a huge park, or commercialized resort experience then this is not the place for you. If you want a down home chill atmosphere, great service, and an all around most bang for your buck, check out A-basin. Quote form Alan (A-Basin CEO) I love it here, and not because I work here, I work here because I love it here. that attitude shows through the whole staff.
This year I feel like I advanced a little beyond intermediate, did some stuff that forced me to up my game considerably. On Sun. I went to the top of Lewanee in almost zero visibility, on the lift up I was thinking WTF am I doing. I rode by instinct most of the way down, did a couple 10-15' drops and landed 'em..err at least rode 'em out lol. By Wed I was doing those same drops on purpose and having fun with it.
Downtown Breck It was fun to get out and bar hop, not sure where we went but had a good time. Vaguely remember my brother saying he thought the Gold..rush? was a gay bar We did eat at a place called Relish Sat. night, this place has GREAT food, first bite of my prime rib gave me a orgasm in my mouth lol.
Dew tour It was okay, nothing I would go out of my way to see.
Tour of Never Summers factory This was fucking awesome!! We stopped in Denver on the way home and took the tour with Vince (V-man on here) The explanation of what the materials and tech does to make NS great riding boards was amazing. I was very impressed with the fact that almost all of the materials thy use are made in the US, the only thing that isn't is the felt backed paper they use for the top sheet graphics, it's from Italy, the only place it's still made. I got to see the 13/14 season stuff being produced, one of the first outsiders to peep it. (sorry no pics) I will say this, next years line is beautiful graphics wise, and some new tech as well. I got to meet Tracy, one of the founders, he was super chill for such a brilliant man, he designs all the profiles in his head. I've been in dozens of factories in my life and what stood out the most is that the employees all seemed happy with their jobs and took a great amount of pride in the work they do. That's something America needs to get back too. Almost forgot to add, when we first walked into the office, there was a poster board on one of the filing cabinets with quotes about NS from various forums and one was from hobomaster lol
12-16 A full day at A-Basin, was a blower. Finally got my mom and 1 of my brothers to come hang at the basin, years before they claimed it was too steep
no it's not a wig lol
Drunk asses later that night lol
12-15 We went to the Dew tour, again got there late. I guess it's one of those things I had to see, would I skip a day of riding to do it again...probably not. We stood in the lift line forever, then had to hike to the half pipe, got to see SW's and Vitto's last run, couldn't really see shit from where we were.
On the gondola
Me and mom
It IS Colorado after all hehe
A Yeti
random pics

We went downtown Fri. night, wanted to check out the rail jam but got there to late. At least we caught the fireworks.

Fireworks in the mountains.
Went bar hopping, not sure where all we went, but for the most part looked like this

The first time you use your Mac, there's a nice and easy to follow getting started guide.
And the Windows' Start button? It is a stupid idea for novice users. Why? the very frist time they click "Start", there's no application in the 6 most frequent application list, instead an "All Programs" simply lead them to lots of where to get started folders and applications.

Welcome to Talking Heads.
Before and after every first-team fixture, our MatchDay Show guest and an Arsenal blogger will have their say on the game.
Arsenal took on West Ham United in the Premier League on Saturday and our Talking Heads for this game were Dan Roebuck and Goodplaya.
For a while there it looked like being one of those days for Arsenal. They dominated the early stages without really creating anything of note and then fell behind to the first chance they allowed against them. The equaliser was perfectly timed for a number of reasons - it gave Arsenal a lift going into half-time, it affected West Ham's containment policy and it gave Olivier Giroud a much-needed confidence boost. I've been impressed by him because he keeps making the right, intelligent runs even if the end product hasn't quite been there. The second half was all Arsenal and two classic goals secured the points. Walcott proved there are few better finishers when there is space for him on the counter-attack and Cazorla rounded off a good day in style. He is some player.
Arsenal will be kicking themselves after letting Chelsea nick all three points last weekend. After a solid start to the season defensively, the home side weren't assertive enough on set-pieces and paid the price. Chelsea had a gameplan and kept Santi Cazorla quiet but, even so, Arsenal had the chances to win the game. I think they'll create lots more chances at Upton Park and I don't think scoring goals will be a problem - especially if Cazorla gets the freedom he didn't get last weekend. The issue is whether Arsenal can tighten up at the back again against a physical West Ham attack. Andy Carroll will give Per Mertesacker a real test if he is fit to return and Kieran Gibbs and Carl Jenkinson will need to cut off the supply to Carroll from the flanks. If they do that and stay organised, this should be an away win.
Well we came through with flying colours - in the end. It was a slog for a while and after doing well to equalise we went off the boil in the second half and might have conceded a second. But then we kicked on and two clinical finishes made the difference. The most impressive part of this victory was probably less the performance and more the fact it came away to a Sam Allardyce side that was on great form going into the game.
If you were to pick one league fixture as a post Chelsea pick-me-up, this would be just about the last one you'd choose: a high-flying West Ham, away and under the floodlights (in the second half at least), is bad enough. Add in the fact that West Ham are managed by Sam Allardyce, a specialist in kicking an Arsenal side when they're down, and you've got all the ingredients for a very tough evening. Which is what makes this game so interesting. Lose and all the old doubts will return. Win and we'll have hope that just maybe the downward spirals that we've made such a trademark of ours in recent years are a thing of the past. It should be interesting.

First session 4pm in L166 We begin with the history of American police. Starting with Sir Robert Peel in London and progressing through today's community policing methods, we will examine the evolution of police in American society and the role of politics in that evolution. We will also examine the role of crime control as a plank in presidential elections. We will discuss the ever present media pressure on mayors and police chiefs, when high profile crimes occur. Finally we will ask what the proper level of political influence on policing should be.

Looks like there are a few kinks to work out, but that thing has potential.
Sure to be a crowd pleaser.
