Samsung Galaxy S9 Plus features a rear dual aperture (and dual camera with a wide-angle lens) that promises to take perfect photos in both bright and low-light moments. Live Focus also means you can capture professional-looking Bokeh effects, blurring out the background so your subject stands out even more. Plus, super Slow-Mo lets you film at 960 FPS, so you can take some awesome slow-motion videos.
The 6.2-inch Quad HD display looks as incredible as ever, sitting edge-to-edge on the front of Samsung Galaxy S9 Plus. The curved edges make it look as though the display spans uninterrupted, so you feel like you get more viewing space on a smaller phone. It's one of the best smartphones for enjoying video content, whether you're streaming from Netflix, YouTube or Facebook.
The AR emoji feature on Samsung Galaxy S9 Plus means you can turn yourself into an emoji. You just need to take a photo of yourself, and the clever technology converts it into a 3D emoji that you can then share and show off with friends. You can then turn your emoji into stickers to express yourself, as you, in even more creative ways.
Samsung Galaxy S9 Plus gives you crisper and louder audio thanks to stereo speakers tuned by AKG. The sound 1.4x more powerful than previous Galaxy smartphones, and the Dolby Atmos surrounds you with three-dimensional sound, so your videos, music and games are closer to a theatre-like experience.

iTunes-for-corporates private app stores put firms at risk – survey
You'll pay three times when yon luser downloads it thrice
Businesses risk flunking software licence audits and overpaying for their apps by rolling out their own take on Apple's iTunes app stores for business.
That's the warning from an IDC and Flexera Software poll that found 63 per cent of companies are planning their own enterprise app stores.
Stores will be used by staff to download apps for things like personal productivity and creativity from Microsoft and Adobe Software – two companies renowned for sending in the audit shock troops to see what you're running.
But, the poll found, 59 per cent of firms planning such a strategy are "not well positioned" to understand the risks they are running.
De-centralising central IT = not the best idea
Those risks include staff downloading and using software they aren't allowed under a licence agreement, with their employers paying millions of dollars in top-ups come audit time. Also, staff downloading without proper oversight or sign off thereby running up unnecessary software costs.
Enterprise app stores are on the rise. Gartner said back in 2011 that 60 per cent of corporate IT departments would deploy a private app store by 2014.
App stores are seen as providing a more flexible and effective approach to rolling out software across organisations with thousands of PCs. The download model is opposed to the existing practice of burning a standard PC image that's tested against all machines before being installed manually.
The app store, theoretically, also provides a means to provision groups of users running a particular set of non-standard apps with less fuss and involvement from central IT.
Flexera reckons the Apple app store has raised awareness about this model, as people at work want the same simple model of application delivery they get at home.
Off-the-shelf app stores are available from Flexera with its App Portal as well as from companies such as Service Now.
But, Flexera warned, some companies haven't thought through the complications involved and they think it means simply slapping a portal-front end on their help desk.
This means tying app stores into existing business systems to confirm licence compliance and to ensure those downloading apps are entitled to us them.
Nor are organisations thinking about tying app stores into their existing procurement systems, for managerial sign-off on app downloads to help control costs.
Companies therefore risk paying tens of millions of dollars in licence costs on top of fees to software companies like Microsoft and Adobe as users download apps they aren't entitled to.
Flexera reckons a quarter of enterprises ended up paying a million dollars to software-makers in the last year to balance what they owned on licences.
However, it reckons others have paid in the "tens of millions of dollars" range.
Alternatively, companies might find users are downloading the same copies of apps – Flexera EMEA vice president Patrick Gunn told The Reg that he's come across examples of companies where the same app as been downloaded on a work PC three or four times.
Often, it's because the user forgot they had or lost the existing version of the app concerned or they downloaded a new version when the old version still worked.
The Flexera and IDC's Software Application Usage Management Report surveyed more than 750 respondents from software ISVs, intelligent device manufacturers and end-user enterprises during the first half of this year.
The topic was the consumerisation of enterprise IT. ®

Question: At the local nursing home, a religious sister conducts a Communion service. During Communion, the non-Catholics are also brought forward and she traces the cross on their forehead and gives a blessing. Is this allowed?
— Pat Reagan, Davenport, Iowa
Answer: The conferral of a blessing, even with the sign of the cross, is not forbidden to the non-ordained in all circumstances. For example, parents should be encouraged to bless their children, even trace the cross on their forehead. In some settings and cultures, elders often bless youngsters. Laypeople even bless themselves whenever they make the sign of the cross.
However, in the liturgical setting, some parameters should be observed. The moment of the distribution of holy Communion at a Mass or Communion service is not the time for people to seek other sorts of blessings. In a Mass, the priest will surely give the general blessing at the end of the liturgy with the sign of the cross over the congregation. Hence, all those present will receive a blessing.
There are, however, pastoral concerns of how best to deal with a practice that has become widespread and is not done in bad faith. Frankly, most pastors overlook the practice and when requested confer blessings in the Communion line. Even if they do dissuade their parishioners from the practice, many visitors still often come forward requesting blessings. Thus, the matter may better be resolved at the diocesan or national level.
While the situation you describe is wrong, sister is probably trying to make the best of a difficult situation wherein people expect such blessings, even if they are not Catholic. Finding a teachable moment to gently instruct the faithful is not always easy.
Nevertheless, the goal to move toward is to teach that the distribution of holy Communion is not really the time to seek other blessings.
Blessing graves
Question: No priest or deacon could be at the burial of my husband at a national military cemetery, though he did have a Catholic funeral Mass. Should the grave be blessed?
— Rose Belt, Kingsville, Texas
Answer: The priest or deacon at the burial should bless the gravesite. If for some reason this did not happen, it can be done at a later time. Hence, it may be good for you to ask a priest or deacon to come and pray the prayer of blessing with holy water.
This is especially the case in non-Catholic cemeteries. In Catholic cemeteries, the bishop has already generally consecrated the ground. But in non-Catholic settings, this is not the case.
Be assured that the fact the grave was not blessed in no way affects your husband's status with God. But it is our custom that burial sites should be blessed.
A related pastoral problem is that many cemeteries, especially national cemeteries, make it increasingly difficult for us to fulfill this custom. For it is often the case that people are not able to go to the actual gravesite, but are moved off to a separate chapel or pagoda nearby.
This makes it difficult for the clergy to know where the gravesite is. Perhaps the U.S. Conference of Catholic Bishops can most effectively address this problem since it is a national trend.

WWE Diva Brie Bella's bachelorette party wasn't filled with muscular dudes thrusting their junk in her face ... it was packed with a bunch of hairy chicks instead.
Brie and her sister Nikki Bella celebrated Saturday night at Prep Kitchen in San Diego ... and judging by the photos, some of the bridal party enjoyed the fake beards a little too much -- we're looking at you four-eyes.
Brie's wedding to WWE Superstar Daniel Bryan -- who also has a giant beard -- is expected to be filmed for the second season of their reality show, "Total Divas."

What Is the
Exmark Advantage?
If you're an Exmark mower owner, chances are, you had a hand in building your machine. Whether you know it or not, you're the reason the deck is deeper, the controls are smoother and the parts are fewer.
Before we build machines, we go into the field and ride alongside our customers. We get sweaty. We get tired. We get the best feedback. Then we gather our findings and get busy putting everything we learned into each nut and bolt. That's the Exmark Advantage.
But that's only part of the story. Our lines of communication are always open. Along with our tireless poking and prodding, we are supported by our incredible customer service department. Those guys always do us proud. So if you want to tell people you help build the best commercial-grade machines in the industry, go ahead. It's not too far from the truth.

Keitaro was probably making sweeping generalizations based on his local experience and he's right in that the Japanese took an idea for "noodles" from China and "re-invented" the idea as Ramen.... which the Chinese are no doubt re-absorbing and then transmogrifying it yet again.
I will say, finding "ramen" in a chinese restaurant is kind of like finding "hot dogs" and "french fries" in a Vietnamese restaurant ... its a concession to the occasional customer who ought to be smacked about the head for not trying new things Actually, its a bit more like finding kimchi in a "japanese" dish restaurant I guess.
The advent of cross-cultural contamination also is making it even more difficult to say some dish is of culture "X" or "Y" .... kind of like saying pasta is actually Chinese and the Italians just borrowed the idea.

anyone ever tried chazuki (or something spelt similar to that?) Is that dessert or something?
I went to this japanese restaurant located in my country last week. You know, sometimes the picture in the menu look real small, i couldnt figured it excalty and assumed to be some sort of soup. I ended up getting a bowl of rice soaked with tea with wasabi and nori floating on it. oh mine . .
anyway about the ramen thingy, there are quite a handful amount of chinese restaurant which serve "ramen" or rather we call it "lamian" instead. of course you have to go to the right store, you dont go a sushi store and ask for ramen too. they arent very common although, probably due to the fact that there are a huge variety of noodles, banmian, lamian, kokomian etc etc . . but they arent that rare too.
Well both of them use the same character 拉麺 but pronouced slight differently and taste differently . . to me (its similar to the difference between regular short grained rice and jiponica, they are world apart to me but some people cant tell much difference) I see them as a entire different thing besides the fact that both of them are using the same characters and done in a very similar way. As for which come first, i dont know

I think you're talking about ochazuke
I've never tried it, but Japanese food is very hit-and-miss with me, so I hate to experiment...ikura is just >.<
Yup, I think we were also talking about ramen a few pages back. The original Chinese 拉麺 (la mien), is white/ivory colored, very long, and very straight. The name comes from the making of it, la=pull mein=noodles. They're noodles made by folding and pulling a single piece of dough repeatedly.
We call "ramen" 日本拉麺 to make the distinction. That's more yellowish and curly, definitely not made in the same way. It tastes very different from the other version, much more so than short-grain vs. japonica IMO.

This is more Asian than specifically japanese but you can substitute specific japnaese ingredients to give it a more distinct 'japanese' feel
Potato's egg noodle soup
simple, easy, and it's NOT instant
What you need:
#1: frozen sliced pork (or fresh if available)
-basically, its hotpot, bulgogi, shabushabu slices. you can use beef, but if you do use beef broth
#2: Chicken boullion, Knorr brand is best (beef if beef slices)
#3: Fresh egg noodles, or you can use ramen noodles (I prefer chinese egg noodles, you can
buy them in the asian super market usually near the vegetables or soy milk, thin yellow noodles in clumps in the package, must be refrigerated, each clump is a large serving)
#4: additions: what you like in your soup, vegetables, japanese fish cake, etc.
#5 two pots, one medium pot for making instant ramen size, and one large pot for boiling noodles.
one straining ladle, usually metal with a large head that has lots of holes. like you see on TV.
OK here is what you do:
you need two pots
in the pot for the soup base, add 2-1/2 cups of water ( up to 3 cups if you add lots of meat)
bring to a boil- drop in the meat (1/4 pound sliced pork up to 1/2)
cook for about 8-10 minutes
Scoop off any large clumps of fat residue that will float to the top
while the meat is cooking at a boil, start the 2nd pot with about 4-6 cups boiling water
OK, now that it's been about 10mins, look at the meat, it should be darker, looking cooked, if not cook it a little longer.
Then drop in 1 cube of the chicken bouliion. the water is still boiling.
stir it every so often as it dissolves. about 5-8mins.
now we are almost done! drop in whatever else you like now! green onions, fish cake, etc.
while the boullion is cooking, Take one clump of noodles, and drop it in the other boiling pot.
IMPORTANT: fresh egg noodles are NOT like Sphagetti! they cook super fast!
after 2-3mins CHECK the egg noodles, they should be floating (or look like it in a shallow pan. take a piece out and taste it. IF ITS MUSHY its overcooked!
take your ladle and scoop out your noodles into a bowl!
now scoop out some meat and other additions and put it on top the noodles!
now pour the broth!
wallah! Dinner is served!

Just a quick question for the knowledgeable:
In several shows I've seen them drop a raw egg into a bowl of noodles. After looking this up, I concluded it was
"Tsukimi udon – "Moon-viewing udon." Topped with raw egg, which poaches in the hot soup."
Usually I drop the egg in while I'm cooking to poach the egg to my liking, but how cooked would the egg get if I did the whole 'drop it in after the noodles are already in the bowl' method? I don't think I'd be a fan of it being too close to raw...

Terribly, terribly raw, that's what you get. I tried cracking an egg onto a hot bowl of ramen once and it just wouldn't cook. I ended up putting into the microwave about 5 times before finally throwing it away.

True, poaching the egg is preferred over the cracking of the egg into the cooked ramen. Although, I enjoy the taste of raw egg mixed into noodles, but that's just me, I'm odd.
Does anyone know what's the name of the Japanese food where they crack a raw egg on top of the rice? It tastes bloody excellent.

raw eggs are less dangerous than they used to be but there's still the risk of salmonella.
These days what you want is for the eggs to take on the texture of the ones in egg drop soup, wispy tendrils.
I usually add the egg towards the end of the noodle boiling period. I add my seasonings after I've pulled it off the stove while its still damned hot.
Same practice for Udon... (though my wife prefers the eggs poached or hardboiled separately and then just placed on top of the udon).
Crap.. brain fart... I know the egg on rice dish... but I'm blanking on the name. Its a very common 'rural dish'. I want to say its a form of donburi (oyakadon?)
A lot of dishes like this, my wife translates as "end of the week specials" (you throw in whats laying in the cupboard). Its like her miso soup ... we call it Super Buffed Miso because she adds slices of beef and things that send it about halfway to shabu-shabu.

By the way, you usually beat the egg with a dash of soy-sauce before you pour it on the rice.
As for the cooked egg version it's "Tamago-don".
"Oyako don" is cooked chicken and egg combo donburi, "Oyako" means parent and child, if you substitute chicken with other variety of meat(usually pork) then it's called "Tanin donburi" Tanin means strangers. If you place Kamaboko it is called "Okame-don".

Ah.... I seem to recall my wife's family calling it something else but 'tamago-kake gohan' makes obvious sense. My sansei wife has discovered over the years that most of the japanese she knows is "1930s" japanese (when both sets of grandparents immigrated to the US) and probably transmogrified (the running gag in her family is that they speak "tex-nip" alongside the "tex-mex" spoken in much of Texas).

I really want to make some Katsudon.
Doing some research on the net has come up with limited results, I've found recipes but they haven't been very detailed. It would be awesome if someone made a detailed english instruction video and posted it on youtube.

Yoshinoya Beef Bowl Clone
Hi Guys,
Yoshinoya Beef Bowl has a string of Resturants (or at least used to) on the West coast. I liked their version of a Beef Bowl.
Can some one supply a recipe that would get me close to it? Its a simmered dish and might lend itself to bachelor cooking.
What kind of beef do I need to cook a beef bowl? I think its called fatty beef.
Thank you for any info.

From the first posts regarding curry, ain't Japanese curry "sweet" rather than in any way "hot" or even "spicy"?
Like I googled Japanese curry and came up with a recipe of a curry sauce with apple pieces in it
Edit: Yeah people already posted that hot curry is uncommon.

It has a milder taste than let's say indian curry, but they still have
sweet, medium sweet and spicy flavours in the shops, if you were to go and buy any packs.
This is a cool thread, I know I'll be back here scrouging for recipies later.
Food I plan to learn.
Tempura (I know the batter mix, but frying it perfectly is a whole other ballgame)
Improve on:
Curry (by this i mean using the cubes and adding my own meat, veg and potatoes)
That's all for now, I'll see how I go with attempting yakisoba for the first time this week :P

Mayor's Office
The east leg of the elevated roadway near the Devaney Center opened this morning, about nine months ahead of schedule. The project completes the Big "X," a major feature of the Antelope Valley Project traffic improvements. Cutting the ribbon to open the new bridge and roadway were Mayor Chris Beutler; Glenn Johnson, General Manager of the Lower Platte South Natural Resources District (LPSNRD); and a representative of the University of Nebraska - Lincoln. The City, LPSNRD and UNL are partners in the Antelope Valley Project, which also includes flood control and community revitalization efforts.
"This is another important milestone for the historic Antelope Valley Project," Mayor Beutler said. "An efficient transportation system drives investment, and the Big 'X' is one of the biggest traffic improvements in recent history. I want to thank U.S. Senator Ben Nelson for his terrific work to secure the federal funding to make this possible." Beutler also thanked U.S. Rep. Jeff Fortenberry, a former Lincoln City Council member, and U.S. Senator Mike Johanns, a former Lincoln Mayor, for their continued support of Antelope Valley.
Future vehicle counts on the Big "X" are estimated to be 44,400 vehicles per day. The Big "X" also spans one of the busiest railroad corridors in the Burlington Northern Santa Fe (BNSF) system. Before completion of the elevated roadway, about 48 trains blocked pedestrian and vehicle traffic for about five hours every day. The removal of the at-grade crossings has two more positive benefits: BNSF will now be able to expand the number of tracks and trains in the corridor. And the "quiet zone" - the area where locomotive horns are not routinely sounded - can be extended from 6th and "L" streets to 70th Street and Cornhusker Highway.
The east leg includes about 4,500 feet of new roadway and a 1,100-foot bridge, which required more than 7 million pounds of steel. The 220-ton steel "straddle cap" - the structural bridge base that rests on the columns - was shipped in three sections, pre-assembled and lifted in place in August 2008. The operation, conducted by Hawkins Construction, was the largest steel pickup in Nebraska history.
The other three legs of the elevated intersection opened in 2006. The entire Big "X" project includes 1.5 lane miles of bridge deck and 7.5 lane miles of new pavement - 5.4 on the main legs and 2.1 on the frontage streets.
The flood reduction component on Antelope Creek, designed and constructed by the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers, is nearly completed. "The remaining work includes final grading and seeding in certain sections, and the final touches will be added to the low-flow channel and some of the amenities in the Union Plaza area," Johnson said.. "The new two-mile long open waterway is fully functional to handle a 100-year rain event without overbank flooding, essentially removing over 400 acres, 800 buildings and 1,200 residents from the floodplain."
The waterway runs from"J" Street to Salt Creek at the future UNL Innovation Campus. It is anticipated that the Letter of Map Revision, effectively revising the floodplain for regulatory purposes, will be approved by the Federal Emergency Management Agency by August 2010. The next phase of the Union Plaza development is expected to start early next year.
In addition to Innovation Campus, other new investment in the Antelope Valley Project area includes the UNL's renovation of the former Whittier Junior High into research space; construction of the new $53 million headquarters for Assurity Life Insurance Co.; and the creation of the Antelope Village housing development.
The Antelope Valley Project recently won a 2009 National Bentley Systems "Be Inspired" Awards Competition. The project received a Special Recognition Award for Sustaining Our Environment. Bentley System develops Microstation, the computer software used to design major projects. The project was nominated by Olsson Associates.
More information on the Antelope Valley Project is available at lincoln.ne.gov (keyword: antelope).

Nick Pingel of Belview earned his Eagle Scout award with a service project literally feet away from his front door....
When Nick Pingel was 12, he joined the Boy Scouts, and he has been involved since.
"At first my dad kind of made me join, but as I got more involved I found out it was worth it," said Pingel.
In fact, he got so involved, Pingel joined an elite group of Boy Scouts who have earned the top honor – the Eagle award. While Pingel has not yet gone through the official ceremony to be presented his Eagle award, he said he has done all that is required of him to be added to the list of those who have become Eagle Scouts.
Pingel, who lives in Belview, met those requirements as a member of Boy Scout Troop 97, and completed the service project required to earn the award in his hometown.
In fact, the project is literally feet away from his front door.
Pingel, who lives on the north side of Belview, looked outside of his house and saw the sign which then stood welcoming people to the community.
"The sign was where that dead patch is right up there," Pingel said, pointing a few feet to the south of the sign he worked to erect. "After the storm (the July 2011 tornado) the top of the sign had been ripped off."
The sign was in need of repair, and so Pingel made it his mission to get that done as he worked to accomplish the goal that kept him in the Boy Scouts.
"I really wanted to become an Eagle Scout," said Pingel, adding his older brother, Tom, had earned his Eagle award and he wanted to follow in his footsteps.
As a member of a Boy Scout Troop, Pingel was able to take part in a variety of activities and to take on various leadership roles, all which culminated in the Eagle Scout project.
"It is a lot of work and takes a lot of time," said Pingel, adding, however, in the end he believes all of the hard work is worth it.
In addition to completing his project, Pingel had to earn a number of badges as a member of the Scouts, with each of those badges representing a skill that helps make Scouts more well-rounded individuals.
Those who plan to pursue the Eagle Scout award must earn a minimum of 21 badges that range in topic from swimming to communication, and along the way must earn other ranks including that of Life Scout.
In the six years Pingel has been in the Scouts he has earned more than 40 badges. Among those badges are some he said were easy, while others posed some challenges.
"I liked earning the life saving badge," Pingel said. "It was a challenge for me, and I like to be challenged."
One of the hardest badges for Pingel was the wilderness badge, but he added that was his fault.
"When we went out for our survival activity, I forgot my sleeping bag," he said, adding by the end he is pretty sure he had hypothermia.
Pingel's efforts to construct the new sign meant meeting with different groups to get the approvals he needed, as well as the financial support required.
To honor the military, the welcome sign includes flags representing each branch of the military, as well as a POW/MIA flag to go with the American and Minnesota flags. Each of the flags was sponsored, and Pingel said he plans to add a plaque recognizing those who supported the project.
Other supplies for the project were financed by the Belview American Legion and Legion Auxiliary.
Friends, family and fellow Scouts helped Pingel ac-complish the physical work.
Pingel recently graduated from ECHO Charter School, and said he is planning to enter the military.
"I would like to be accepted into the Coast Guard," he said. "I like the idea of being able to help save people."
That attitude reflects the kind of impact being a member of the Boy Scouts has had on Pingel's life.

SPPS 4th Year Anniversary Contest Week #3
Since I won't have the extra time to put this up later, I'll post it a few hours early. I'm thinking you may need a few extra hours of time for this one in any event.
Please read all of the following guidelines before posting in this contest thread to prevent you from making any inadvertent errors that could possibly disqualify you from winning the grand prize package. The rules and conditions could change from week to week.
Thank You
Hello all and welcome to our third week Sundragon Paintball Products & Supplies 4th anniversary contest thread. There will be one contest per week here throughout the whole month of September. As the weeks progress, so will the bulk worth of prizes per contest. So may the difficulty of means to acquire the prizes as well. No special skills should be needed to participate in these SPPS sponsored giveaways. Rather than just one contest with a few prize winners, we will be offering only one grand prize winner per week here. We have recently picked up a new sponsor that will be announced in the week 2 thread soon.
Just to keep everyone on the edge of their seats, unlike most all contests you've seen, the prizes to be distributed here will not be announced till the winner of the contest is announced. Just like Christmas one week at a time in September! The only difference being, you can't shake the package to guess what's inside. Though for the most part they will, not all items will be Spyder related parts and products. Most assured they will all be paintball related.
There will be one primary winner each week. There will be two secondary winners chosen as well in case the primary either forfeits acceptance of the winnings, does not supply us with the information we require to safely ship the prizes to them or does not contact us within the alloted time frame listed below.
The primary winner has 2 days after the posted announcement of winning to claim his/her prize package so be sure to frequent these forums for results. If we are not contacted within that time frame, the grand prize goes to the next in line secondary winner. This primary winner must provide SundragonPPS with their full name, mailing address, city, state, zip code, full phone number and e-mail address through PM's(private messages) on these boards. If you don't know how to use the private message system here, you might acquaint yourself with them before the deadline just in case. If the prize package is returned to us for any reason at all(unless it is directly in our error), the primary winner unconditionally forfeits the package to the next in line secondary winner who must then provide us with the same aforementioned information in the same manner and conditions.
Any current contributing member of these forums may enter to win this contest without condition of race, creed, gender, position on this website or location of residence.
Any of these terms or conditions may be changed at any time at our discretion during the endurance of this contest or after the announcement of the winner has been posted. There will be no debate concerning our answers as opposed to yours by contestants for this contest. We will not be responsible for any late submitted answers because we were not conveniently available for you. By posting your entry below you are confirming that you fully agree to all the above conditions without objection or debate. If you do not agree to these conditions, we ask that you kindly refrain from posting in this contest thread.
Thank you
This weeks contest are for those nerdy research nuts, tinkerers and/or Spyder trivia buffs! A bit tougher than the past couple weeks but I must say, the prizes will be muuuuuch sweeter than the last 2. You're just going to have to do a little thinking to earn this one.
1) Below are outlined 30 Spyder specific questions plus 4 extra general paintball knowledge questions. The last 4 are not required but could very well give you an edge over others if you submit them correctly. They will replace any incorrect answers you may have had in the top 30 or if you get all 30 answers correct, are additional points to your grand total of points. Incorrect answers for any of those 4 will not be held against you.
2) Answering all 30 questions are not required if you don't know all of them. I'm not too sure that anyone will actually know all 30 so everyone has a chance at this. Even if you don't know the answers of some, by at least submitting a guess you still have a 50/50 chance of getting it right though.
3) You may use any means possible finding out the answers to these questions.
4) You may even discuss the questions in this thread if you feel inclined. Only thing we ask is that you keep your posts on topic.
5) Incorrect spelling of things such as names could be held against you.
6) Please do not contact me by private messages with questions or comments concerning the contest as I will not answer them. If you have any further questions or comments specifically pertaining to this SPPS contests, please post them in this contest thread. I will try to keep up on them best as I can. Please don't expect any clues. That would be unfair to others that may already have that answer.
7) The winner of this contest will be chosen by the number of correct answers submitted. Be careful in answering the questions as some may be technically obscured. One for instance is, a number is a number, not a letter. Take that to the bank. If there is for any reason a tie, a tie breaker will be held for a final winner decision.
8) Once you have all the answers ready, please submit them through e-mail to, firstname.lastname@example.com This will keep your answers confidential, out of public view. Do not post your answers in this thread. BE SURE TO SEND YOUR FORUMS NICKNAME AND WHICH FORUMS YOU ARE FROM SOMEWHERE IN THE E-MAIL! Title your e-mail specifically, SPPS SOC Contest #3 Send answers only and number them corresponding to the questions below. We will not be responsible for lost or misdirected e-mails so be sure to get the address above correct with the correct title. Nor will we be responsible for the correct answer corresponding with the correct number. We suggest that you look them over very carefully before sending them, then save your answers somewhere just in case you need to resend them. Any e-mails with attachments, large content or improperly titled will automatically be discarded. A short note and answers only please. Unless there is a problem with transit of the e-mail, only 1 answer form will be accepted per member. May even be a good idea to post that you sent the e-mail in this thread so we know to look for it at Yahoo.
9) You have a whole week to submit your answers so take your time. They must be received before the deadline listed below so don't wait till the very last minute either. The time posted on the e-mail must be before 11:59PM EST. That's eastern standard time.

do you mean the first marker specifically designed for the game, or the first marker that shot paintballs?

She explained that her office's supplies and papers were still in boxes, waiting to be moved to Seaford when the scheduled merger of the 1st and 7th precincts took place.
But when Beccaris returned to work after a weekend of visiting colleges with her daughter two weeks ago, her coworkers greeted her with news that the 1st Precinct in Baldwin would remain open. After months of uncertainty, she said, the mood in the station house shifted to a sense of relief.
"When you work somewhere for an extended period of time, it becomes home, regardless that it's work," she said. "A camaraderie exists here that is hard to explain. Merging would have changed all of that."
While some officers, elected officials and local residents were also pleased to hear that the 1st Precinct would not be absorbed by the 7th for now, the future of the department's station house in Baldwin is still unknown.
A re-evaluation
Inspector Kenneth Lack, commanding officer of the NCPD's public information office, said that the department's experiences when Hurricane Sandy hit the South Shore were a contributing factor in the decision to suspend the last of four scheduled precinct mergers.
Lack explained that the 7th Precinct, at 3636 Merrick Road in Seaford, was sandbagged during the storm, and floodwaters reached the area around the station house. Although the building sustained no damage other than several shingles being blown off the roof, Lack said that the station house was inaccessible at the height of the storm. This prompted officials to reconsider the merger.
"It was mostly the storm that put things in a different light and caused the county executive and the police commissioner to re-evaluate," he said. "The greatest storm the county has ever seen is just making us re-evaluate combining the 1st and the 7th and the location of those precincts."

I was wondering why in the Linux world we must use MESA instead of OpenGL? Is MESA identical to OpenGL? Also, why is MESA behind in version numbers compared to OpenGL?
I was wondering why in the Linux world we must use MESA instead of OpenGL? Is MESA identical to OpenGL? Also, why is MESA behind in version numbers compared to OpenGL?
Mesa3D provides an OpenGL implementation, just like NVidia's, AMD's, or Intel's drivers provide an OpenGL implementation. They are all OpenGL implementations. Like Ford, Buick, and Toyota are all types of cars.
You don't have to use Mesa3D's OpenGL implementation. You can install another by installing your GPU vendor's driver, if they offer one. I personally use NVidia's on Linux. Works great!
A separate issue is that Mesa3D also provides (in addition to an OpenGL implementation) their own version of the GLU OpenGL utilities library. You can use that irrespective of which underlying OpenGL implementation you choose to run. It's not tied to one or another (AFAIK).
Google nvidia driver download and the link comes right up.
Usually though you can just install it through your distro's package manager. Often that's simpler. Google your distros name + nvidia driver install for details.
You wouldn't be trying to develop for a newer version of OpenGL are you?
Trying to access new features, or maybe just worried about performance?
It's the new version _development libraries_ you want isn't it?
Well my friend it's GLEW you want!
This is a library that gives you entry points into the newer features of OpenGL such as the functions:
glEnableClientState, glVertexPointer
OpenGL itself is a specification to render fancy graphics to a video card.
There are different implementations to it such as MESA, nVidia's OpenGL, ATI OpenGL, Microsoft OpenGL. Some of these such as MESA, are _software_ implementations. They do 3D rendering completely on your computer and do not take advantage of your fancy video card at all. Others like the nVidia, will take full advantage of the video card, the nVidia drivers will access the specific video card model and hand off the processing to it.
Okay, easy enough right. Now why do you keep seeing MESA pop up, and why is your program so sloooow?
on your computer you'll see windows/opengl32.dll, i believe this is the Microsoft _software_ implementation. Slow and it's probably the OpenGL 1.1 specification. It wont have any new functionality at all. Somewhere else you'll have a opengl.dll that comes from nVidia, this is the one you want.. but
when you link opengl32.lib (microsoft visual c++) to your program, you are linking a static library, that accesses the dynamic library(opengl32.dll) that is the microsoft implementation. You don't want to do this. You want to link against a static library that will access the more modern opengl32.dll. GLEW is a multiplatform library written by opensource people, that will allow you to access new OpenGL features on any platform.
You want to download and copy the .DLL filse to /windows/system32
the library and include files to their respective folder in your compiler.
Are you using Visual C++?
ok, I compiled and installed GLEW using make and make install. But now how do I use it? Inside my Makefile I used the following for MESA:
Code :objects = main.o cube: $(objects) g++ -o cube $(objects) -lX11 -lXi -lglut -lGL -lGLU -lm main.o: main.cpp g++ -c main.cpp
Do I need to do something different? The GLEW page doesn't mention much.
Try without the -lGL
instead replace it with glew or maybe GLEW
Code :objects = main.o cube: $(objects) g++ -o cube $(objects) -lX11 -lXi -lglut -lglew -lGLU -lm main.o: main.cpp g++ -c main.cpp Do I need to do something different? The GLEW page doesn't mention much.
Suggest you get the NVidia driver installed first. glxinfo will confirm you have done so.
I'm not looking for a driver. I'm looking for an API to develop in. I noticed that OpenGL is on version 4.3 while Mesa is on 3.1. I know that on Windows I'm able to use version 4.3 with the libraries that come with Windows. So I was wondering if I could get version 4.3 on Linux? Does this make sense or am I asking the wrong question?

I take notes out of habit and boredom, a practice formed in grad school, when at any hour of the day or night I might have to look up a Greek word like kakodaimon (evil genius) while reading Aristophanes's The Clouds. Later I bought hardback notebooks, but cheaper, lighter-weight notebooks are better for traveling. On a recent shopping trip, I bought inexpensive composition books (love the yellow one! Only $1 at Target) and slightly fancier paperback Apica notebooks.

"Built house (where museum is located) in 1922 for $7,000. Piano came on steamboat. Visited Green Drug every day to socialize and pick up mail. One bad Christmas, when there was no money, the Aldriches made gifts for children and put them in a big pine barrel: wooden checkers game, log rocking horse, dolls, homemade doll dresses...."
We use another Apica for a bicycling journal. Huh! I never remember to write anything down. Bicycling is...boring...good exercise...relaxing...what else can we say? My husband sometimes remembers to record our rides.
Then there is the big notebook for tracking health care problems. During a relative's recent hospitalizations, I wrote down vital stats, notes on conversations with doctors and nurses, and health and behavior changes.
"Are you a nurse?" someone asked when I rattled off stats over the phone.
"No, no." What can you say? It's a matter of trying to understand the language of medicine, and going over the notes to make good decisions.
And so the notebook-writing goes on...

"I don't believe in a lot of things, but I do believe in duct tape," said Miles in the Lost finale. This, however, isn't TV. This is a real airplane flying. And that's real
duct tape. Heat tape. Updated
Would you fly in a plane with
duct heat tape on its wing? My first answer was, sure, why not. But then, let's put it this way: If the mechanics left that on plain view, imagine what is hiding elsewhere in that plane. So, to answer the previous question: In a word, no. Would you?
Update: Some readers who are pilots are saying this is heat or speed tape, a much stronger aluminum-based tape approved by the FAA. Salon's old pilot in residence also says taped up planes are perfectly fine. But would you feel safe flying it? —BL
An Emirates' captain writes in with his verdict on the fly or no fly:
"I fly airplanes all the time with duct tape on it. We do that for years"
Obviously, he's referring to the heat tape.—JD

1938 Chevrolet Rat Rod Pickup - EZ Street
A Welder and An Imagination=One Slick Ride
The words "rat rod" are thrown around a lot these days, but what exactly qualifies a build to fall into this category? Most would say that rust (lots of it) and a heap of old mismatched parts are enough, but when a full custom frame is fabricated for the car or truck in question, does that disqualify it from the label? Who knows? Better yet, who really cares?
Art Gomez of GO-EZ Customs in Anaheim, California, got his mitts on this 1938 Chevy in 2006 and tried to retrofit an existing frame for it, but tweaking and correcting it to fit proved to be an annoyingly painful process. The solution was simple: scrap the existing rolling chassis altogether and create one from scratch. The process proved to be simpler, and the truck now sits on a platform that makes more sense. Even though the "ratty" hauler is well on its way to rolling on its own power, it looks good mowing through traffic atop GO-EZ's shop tow pig—a '66 Chevy C-20 that breaks just as many necks. If you live in the Southern California area, be on the lookout for this rat rod at a local cruise night soon.

Cleveland 10 miler race report, kind of
Well I had a race. Or maybe I should say I had a run. I decided as I slogged through this year's Cleveland 10 miler, that I am a runner, not a racer. I love to run. I only hate it when I worry myself about pace and about how I am not logging enough miles (which I am not at all by the way!). So, why in the world do I put the pressure on myself? I am an 8 something miler at best, I am never going to win a race, so why not just enjoy it. My overall goal is to finish a marathon in all 50 states, I don't have to finish them in under 4 hours! Or even in under 5. Sure I would love to think that someday I can go to Boston, but not at the rate I am going.
So, the theme of the Cleveland 10 miler for me this year was relax and run. It was an impressive turn out with 2300 runners. I really like this race b/c it goes through a very pretty part of Cleveland's west side that I do not visit often. For the most part the race is flat and you get a nice downhill right at the end. Parking is plentiful and you get to walk up a big hill to pick up your packet and move to the start line, which is a nice warm up. My best pal Michelle and I met up at 7am to be at the park by 7:30 for packet pickup. I was disappointed to see that this year's shirt was the same as last years and I hated last year's shirt! Hated it. It has stupid stripes on the sleeves that make them poke up at the shoulders, it looks awful on me. Oh well. Last year, this was a break through race for me, I ran it in 1:28 and it was the very first time that I maintained an 8something min mile for that long. I was so proud of myself. So, going into the race this year I knew that I wasn't going to be able to do as well. However, I was pleased to finish in 1:30. I didn't think even that was possible and it was super-hot and I felt overheated the whole time. I can honestly say that I gave the race my all and worked through moments where I really wanted to just say Screw It and walk.
If you want a total confession I have honestly only been running 2 times a week on average. I mean can you believe that I am training for a marathon on 2 measly runs a week! I will be lucky to finish South Bend, it's not like I can make up for it now, the race is 5 weeks away. But I can promise myself to try harder for Eerie in Sept. If I can manage a 9min pace for 10 miles with barely training, then I know that if I train properly this summer I very well may be able to break 4 hours at Eerie or Chicago. And if I don't? Well guess what it doesn't matter. By the end of the year I will have another 3 states marked off the map and that is the goal, isn't it!'
In other news, Harper rocked Easter and totally enjoyed her first Easter egg hunt and multiple Easter baskets. That kid is cute! Even if she refuses to smile in pictures. Check out her dress! I want one.

Hey, as a now 13-something-miler (I get slower each year it seems), 8-something per mile is looking great. Congrats on the run. Sorry 'bout the shirt. That would suck.

Congrats on the race - you did great!
I'm with you, though, I'm definitely more of a runner than a racer. I'll never be fast. And I'm ok with that. :)

LAS VEGAS — Police announced Saturday that they have identified an SUV and a suspect in the shooting death of an Oakland rapper on the Las Vegas Strip, which led to a fatal car crash involving a Maserati and taxi.
Las Vegas police said a black Range Rover SUV was found Saturday afternoon at an apartment complex east of the Strip and has since been impounded as evidence.
Police are looking for 26-year-old Ammar Harris, who they believed fired the shots in the incident early Thursday. Harris' arrest history in Las Vegas, which is extensive and violent, according to police, includes charges of kidnapping and pandering.
Harris is described as a black male adult, 5 feet 11 inches tall, 180 pounds with brown hair and brown eyes. Harris also goes by the name of Ammar Asim Faruq Harris, as well as variations of that name, police said.
He is considered armed and dangerous. He has several distinctive tattoos, including a heart-shaped tattoo below his right eye and a large owl tattoo on his neck.
The driver of the Maserati, aspiring rapper and former Oakland resident Kenneth Cherry, Jr., a.k.a. Kenny Clutch, was killed by the gunfire.
At approximately 4:20 a.m. Thursday, Las Vegas police officers responded to the intersection of Flamingo Road and Las Vegas Boulevard South to investigate reports of a multivehicle collision. Once officers arrived, they determined that the deadly collision, which also killed taxi driver Michael Boldon, of Las Vegas, and his passenger, Sandra Sutton-Wasmund of Maple Valley, Wash., and injured three others, was caused when Cherry's Maserati drove into the intersection after Cherry was involved in an argument during which shots were fired.
The argument, police said, was believed to have started in the valet parking area of the Aria Resort. The shooting happened the same night that Morocco-born rapper French Montana was playing at Aria's signature nightclub, Haze.
Harris, the driver of a black Range Rover, allegedly discharged several rounds from a firearm into the Maserati. Both vehicles continued northbound on Las Vegas Boulevard South before the Maserati entered the intersection, causing the collision, police said.
Anyone with any information about Harris' whereabouts or information about the incident is asked to contact the Las Vegas police homicide division at 702-828-3521 or Crime Stoppers at 702-385-5555 or www.crimestoppersofnv.com. If Harris is sighted, citizens are urged to call 911.

Pebblebrook Hotel Trust (PEB) Hits New 52-week Low During January 14 SessionEquities Staff Follow |
Pebblebrook Hotel Trust (PEB) established a new 52-week low yesterday, and could be a company to watch at the open. After opening at $24.51, Pebblebrook Hotel Trust dropped to $23.38 for a new 52-week low. By the closing bell, the company's stock was at $24.60 a share for a gain of 0.57%.
Falling to a new 52-week low is never fun for company's shareholder, but, depending on who you ask, it can be either a buy or a sell signal. Someone bearish on the stock might see it reaching its lowest price in a year as a sign of growing downward momentum and make sure they sell their shares. Bulls, though, are more likely to see a new 52-week low as the stock hitting its low point and anticipate a bounce in the share price.
However one plays it, it's often a critical moment for any stock and should be noted by investors.
Pebblebrook Hotel Trust saw 1.15 million shares of its stock trade hands, that's out of 71.86 million shares outstand. The stock has an average daily volume of 902,327 shares. After hitting a new 52-week low, Pebblebrook Hotel Trust enters the new trading day with a market cap of 1.77 billion, a 50-day SMA of $30.25 and a 200-day SMA of $37.69
Pebblebrook Hotel Trust now has a P/E ratio of 30.7.
