Mixmaster Morris (UK)
The Irresistible Force: Mixmaster Morris, Mixmaster Morris is an underground legend who hardly needs any introduction. He started on pirate radio in '85 with "the Mongolian Hip Hop Show," and since then he's been a dynamic force on the international avant garde music and festival scenes. Morris started The Irresistible Force in '87 and made two very collectible early singles. He developed a live acid house concept into The Madhouse (1988), which was widely credited as the first live techno event in London. He joined up with The Shamen at the end of '89, creating the highly acclaimed Synergy club, which toured the UK and Europe for over two years. Morris supported The Orb at many of their early shows, and other bands including Spiritualized, System 7... MMM then signed to Rising High and released two classic Irresistible Force albums, Flying High and Global Chillage. Both made the indie top 5 and were released in the US (Astralwerks, Instinct) and Japan (Sony.) The Mixmaster made his name as the hardest working chillout DJ in the world, doing all-night soundscapes in 30 countries at a bizarre selection of parties. In the US he appeared at 'Even Further' in '96, at the Full Moon Party in the Mojave Desert, at the Plantasia rave in San Bernadino, on a boat party in San Francisco, and at many small clubs in NY, SF, LA, Chicago, Boston, Baltimore, Milwaukee etc. In Germany, he appereared at the Berlin Love Parade for ten years running (the world's largest techno event,) and recorded two deeply chilled Dreamfish albums with Frankfurt electroguru Pete Namlook. Morris is still one of the UK's most popular DJ's across the country, he has been resident DJ at Glastonbury Festival for six years, warming up for The Prodigy, Chemical Brothers, Jamiroquai, Stereolab etc. In Japan he played all over the country, including the massive Rainbow 2000 raves on sacred Mt. Fuji. Morris recorded The Morning After mix CD in 1996 for Positiva, which shows his mixing style at the time, blending trip hop and ambient jungle into a cool soundtrack for head-nodding. He also made a classic ambient mix CD, split with Alex Patterson for Mixmag. From 1995 to 1999 he was the only DJ with his own page in the latter magazine, with a chance to champion underground music and chillout vibes. Nowadays he's recognised as a leading critic of corporate dance music. Many of the leading electronic acts had their first press coverage courtesy of the Mixmaster: Aphex Twin, Ken Ishii, Black Dog, Orbital, Atom Heart, Bedouin Ascent and more recently T Power, Squarepusher, Dot Records and Jimpster. No wonder Radio 1's John Peel named him as his 'natural successor.' After a break from recording he signed to Ninja Tune, and recorded the acclaimed "Its Tomorrow Already," releasing the single Nepalese Bliss/ Fish Dances to preceed the album release in 1999. The single contained strong remixes by the likes of Fila Brazilia, Jimpster and Amon Tobin. In early '99 Morris recorded the "Quiet Logic" album with SF's Jonah Sharp (Spacetime Continuum) in Tokyo's YMO studio, released by Daisyworld. Later in '99, Morris ran the acclaimed 'Nubient' night at the Dogstar in Brixton. A weekly Sunday event, Morris played alongside heavyweight friends such as Luke Vibert, Coldcut and Claude Young. Best of all, it was free! Morris toured extensively in '99, completing a mini-tour of America with a larger US tour at the end of the year. He giggied in the UK and Europe, and somehow kept up with his relentless schedule of DJ bookings around the world. Over the last year, Morris' schedule has been equally relentless, but just as rewarding. He played several sets on Kiss FM, and completed another U.S tour. During his time in the States he put together sets for several internet radio stations, including Icast, Dublab and Groovelab. He won the 1999 Ibiza DJ Award for the best experimental/ chillout DJ, and has been nominated again this year. Further to this, Morris' has put together several mixes for Solid Steel showcasing his incredible sense of the eclectic, and the size of his record collection! This year, Morris' will be the only British DJ to have played at all 10 Berlin Love Parades, an event he remains enthusiastic about. Morris recently produced a track to go on the "Groove Movie" soon to be released on Sony www.groovethemovie.com. Morris is extensively quoted in an MTV produced book "Looking for the perfect beat". And in between DJing dates, he's still working on the perfect beats for his next Ninja release.

Neither "torrential" rain nor her husband's absence could deter Lisa Greenfield from taking her two daughters — 7 and 9 — to Silver Falls State Park two years ago for their very first camping trip.
They were guided there by the state's Let's Go Camping program, which was devised to give novice campers the skills and confidence they need to become camping aficionados.
In Greenfield's case, the program must have worked, because the very next summer she struck out again — undaunted even by 108-degree heat — for Valley of the Rogue State Park.
"A lot of people I know were going camping," says the Lake Oswego resident. "It just seemed like a wonderful thing to do here in Oregon."
Bringing "very little" experience to the pastime, Greenfield learned that camping is "not that hard" during overnight excursions with Let's Go Camping, which drew more than 450 campers to 16 events held at state parks throughout the state last year.
This year, the program is setting up camp July 19-20 at Joseph H. Stewart State Recreation Area at Lost Creek Lake.
"We have group campfires and do s'mores," says Greenfield, who plans to attend two more Let's Go campouts, this time as a volunteer.
With grant funding and equipment donations, Let's Go Camping supplies participants with most of their essentials — minus food. Tents, sleeping bags, sleeping-bag liners and mattress pads, as well as use of camp stoves, all are at campers' disposal. The fee of $30 per family also furnishes hands-on activities and assistance from program staff and volunteers.
"There's just all that goodness there," says Greenfield of Oregon state parks, 16 of which are hosting Let's Go Camping events through Aug. 25.
The program's first foray into Southern Oregon was last year at Valley of the Rogue, attended by Greenfield and 33 other families last July. The program will expand to 24 trips in 2014, says Jimmy Childs, special projects coordinator for the Oregon Parks and Recreation Department.
"This is an important outreach program for us," says Childs.
Let's Go Camping has proven so popular that the parks department this year rolled out a Let's Go day-trip format for activities such as hiking, birding, paddling, even disc golf. Almost all of those events, free and facilitated largely by volunteers, take place in the northern Willamette Valley, says Childs. But more activities, certainly fishing, will make the list in coming years as Let's Go extends its reach into other areas of Oregon, he adds.
Let's Go Camping started at Portland's Tryon Creek State Park in 1998. It became so popular that the volunteer group coordinating it turned it over to the state four years ago. Other states have started modeling Oregon's program in pursuit of grants from companies such as The North Face, which was "very generous" this year with Let's Go Camping, says Childs.
In addition to Stewart, new campout locations this year are Sunset Bay State Park near Coos Bay, Willamette Mission State Park near Salem (for Spanish speakers) and Milo McIver State Park near Oregon City, where families of children with autism-spectrum disorders will have an exclusive event that sold out in 10 days, says Childs.
For the full Let's Go calender, see www.oregonstateparks.org and click on the "Let's Go" tab under "Things to Do."
Hiking, building campfires and Dutch-oven cooking are featured activities on any Let's Go campout. Campers also learn camping basics and outdoors ethics, along with some natural history and ecology.
All the fixings for evening s'mores and Sunday morning cinnamon rolls are provided. Otherwise, participants are responsible for their own meals, outdoors-appropriate clothing, sunscreen, insect repellent and transportation to and from the park, which allows for arrival Friday evening before the official start Saturday morning. About a month before an excursion, the program sends out a checklist of items to bring, he adds.
Let's Go Camping's $30 fee increased this year from $20 — "too unbelievably cheap" — in previous years, says Childs. More closely mirroring regular overnight fees for state-run campgrounds, that price pays for the entire family, regardless of the number of people per reservation. Single campers also can sign up, says Childs, adding that Let's Go Camping eases the experience for single parents and seniors.
Unlike the majority of reservations for state campgrounds, Let's Go Camping cannot be booked online. Call 1-888-953-7677 between 8 a.m. and 5 p.m. weekdays.
Reach reporter Sarah Lemon at 541-776-4487 or email@example.com.

NAPA — The Raiders announced the signing of second-round draft pick Menelik Watson on Wednesday, leaving first-round pick D.J. Hayden as the last member of the draft class who is not under contract.
Watson (6-foot-5, 315 pounds) was the 42nd overall pick out of Florida State and is expected to compete with incumbent Khalif Barnes for the starting job at right tackle when the Raiders begin training camp practices Friday morning.
It is not clear whether Hayden, the No. 12 pick in the first round, is ready to practice following an offseason procedure for scar tissue in his abdomen. Hayden underwent major surgery for a torn inferior vena cava _ a vein leading to his heart — in November.
Players arrived at training camp Wednesday, although it's not clear whether everyone is present since coach Dennis Allen doesn't speak to the media until the club completes its first practice.
Raiders players undergo physicals Thursday and attend meetings in advance of Friday's first practice.

December 17, 2012
MSNBC liberal blowhard Ed Schultz is calling for the government to confiscate "assault weapons." He made the comment over the weekend on a tweet.
"Why should anyone own an assault rifle?" Schultz asked, and then said "it's the confiscation of these types of weapons that counts and will have an impact."
"The NRA needs to state the case why assault weapons are needed by anyone," he added.
Ed, like most liberals and other government-lovers, is completely brain-dead when it comes to the Second Amendment. It was added not to ensure the rights of duck hunters and plinkers, but as a last resort to fend off a tyrannical government.
George Mason, considered one of the founding fathers of the Bill of Rights, said disarming the people is "the best and most effectual way to enslave them."
This is precisely what Ed Schultz and the liberals want to do – disarm the American people. For Schultz and his fellow travelers, a tyrannical government is inconceivable .
As anybody who understands history realizes, gun confiscation is not about saving children. The Soviet Union and communist China did not confiscate weapons to save children. Hitler did confiscate Germany's gun to put a stop to school shootings.
Confiscation is about the government having its way with us. It's about slavery.
"Before a standing army can rule, the people must be disarmed; as they are in almost every kingdom of Europe," wrote Noah Webster in an 1787 pamphlet published to convince Pennsylvania to ratify the Constitution. "The supreme power in America cannot enforce unjust laws by the sword; because the whole body of the people are armed, and constitute a force superior to any bands of regular troops that can be, on any pretense, raised in the United States."
Over the weekend, the liberal website Daily Kos ran a poll asking if gun confiscation is do-able, revealing that Democrats and other "progressives" are at least thinking about stealing guns from law-abiding Americans (the liberals never take into consideration how many cops will be killed in the process).
"The progressive community needs to adopt a program of first identifying all guns and equipment with no valid hunting or defense purpose such as assault weapons, high capacity magazines, .50 cal rifles, etc.; second , requiring that these weapons be turned in for appropriate compensation and then destroyed," Daily Kos explained.
The idea of firearms compensation fits right into the liberal pathology – stealing money from one segment of society and giving it to another after the government steals something from them.
Schultz also called for subverting the Constitution to make sure the American people cannot defend themselves against government tyranny.
"We are the Constitution and we as a people can change whatever we want. Get ready Dude!"
Fortunately, it is inordinately difficult to amend the Constitution. As stipulated by Article V, the Constitution can be amended by a vote of two-thirds of both the House of Representatives and the Senate followed by a ratification of three-fourths of the state legislatures. It can also be amended through a convention called by two-thirds of state legislatures.
Currently, there are not enough gun-grabbers in Congress to pull this off.
Ed's wish to nullify the Second Amendment is not likely to happen. His wish, however, to confiscate weapons is far more possible, as the gun confiscation beta test in New Orleans in the wake of Hurricane Katrina demonstrated.

Smack in the middle of Los Angeles, feasting on deer and roaming the chaparral-covered slopes, a mountain lion prowls Griffith Park.
Yes, there had been sporadic rumors over the years of the 140-pound beasts lurking in the shadows of populated hillsides near the park's attractions, but wildlife biologists had discounted them because of the improbability of the animals crossing the freeways to get there.
For the first time, however, scientists now have photographic evidence of a lion inhabiting the park. His name is P-22. That's P, as in puma.
PHOTOS: A mountain lion in Griffith Park
"We never had any definitive proof of a mountain lion living in Griffith Park," said Jeff Sikich, a National Park Service biologist. "We believe this is pretty significant, that it's surrounded by such intense urbanization."

Let me catch ball tamperers: Sarfraz Nawaz
Pakistan's sultan of swing says he's able to detect ball-tampering from 1,000 yards away and offered ICC his services to stop the practice.india Updated: Oct 09, 2006 14:24 IST
Former Pakistan fast bowler Sarfraz Nawaz said on Tuesday he was able to detect ball-tampering from 1,000 yards (metres) away and offered cricket chiefs his services to stop the practice.
Nawaz, hailed as the pioneer of reverse swinging the ball during his heyday in the early 1970s and 1980s, said tampering was out of control in the modern game and called on world cricket chiefs to act.
"I can catch a player or bowler tampering from 1,000 yards," said Nawaz, who played 55 Tests and 45 one-dayers for Pakistan.
"It is rampant at the international level and it's the incompetence of the umpires who cannot catch tampering. I offer my services to the International Cricket Council (ICC) to stop this."
Tampering returned to haunt cricket during August's Fourth Test at The Oval between Pakistan and England, which snowballed to become one of the game's most bitter episodes.
Australian umpire Darrell Hair and Billy Doctrove of the West Indies changed the ball and awarded five penalty runs against Pakistan on suspicions that the condition of the ball had been illegally altered.
Incensed Pakistan captain Inzamam-ul-Haq refused to take the field after tea on the fourth day and the South Asian team were deemed to have forfeited the match -- the first forfeit in 129 years of Test cricket.
Inzamam was cleared by the ICC of ball-tampering charges at a hearing last week after experts said they found no evidence, but was handed a four-match ban for bringing the game into disrepute.
Nawaz said he did not believe that Pakistan would have been foolish enough to tamper with the ball.
"Despite possessing reverse swing talent Pakistan have been accused of tampering (in the past), so they would have been foolish to do so with so much focusing and so much witch-hunting against them," Nawaz said.
"But I tell you, tampering does not always guarantee reverse swing and neither does reverse swing guarantee you a wicket, because you need to have great control over your length to get wickets."
Hair had got it wrong and should have stopped play at once had he suspected any tampering, Nawaz added. "The Oval and Old Trafford are two English grounds where the ball gets old quickly," he said.

As the January transfer window draws to a close today, English clubs have been buying up some of the best footballing talent in the world.
Most people can't wait to see Juan Mata or Nemanja Matic in action. Not UKIP.
In fact, UKIP have said that English clubs should be banned from having more than three overseas footballers in their starting line-up.
That would force managers to make some pretty tough decisions about who they would keep and who they would give the boot.
Where would that leave your favourite team? Who would you keep and who would you send home? Toure or Silva? Negredo or Aguero? Oscar or Hazard?
Click on any of the teams below to play UKIP Manager. Scroll up when you're done to see how others voted, you can then let others know your top three choices on Twitter and Facebook using #UKIPmanager.
If you agree that UKIP's off-the-wall ideas would be bad for the Premiership and bad for Britain, you can sign our petition here.

He is barbaric. His long hair hangs past his shoulders. His beard is unkempt. He chugs from a drinking horn and spits at the crowd.
He is Nordic Thunder.
And like a warrior with many scars to prove it, he refuses to give up without a fight. His next battle will be to hold on to the crown--of best air guitarist in the U.S. (Cue the music.)
Justin Howard, 28, will command the stage at the regional air guitar competition on June 29 at the Metro. He'll be doing a special halftime performance and competing. If he is victorious, he'll go up against handpicked competitors from a dozen cities to head to the national finals in Denver. If he conquers that, like he did last year, he advances to the World Championship in Finland this summer. He placed second at the World Championship.
Howard, a video editor who lives in Ukrainian Village, started searching for his head-thrashing song a few days after last year's world finals tournament.
"I air guitar every day, if I hear a song that sounds good and has nice riff to it, of course I'm going to jam to it," he said. That means at home or in the car while driving.
Once he finds the song-- or as he puts it, the song finds him--he spends time editing it to the best 60 seconds of strumming. He listens to it hundreds of times to memorize the notes and chords. The month before taking the stage, he practices for one hour a day several days a week. He even records his routine using his web camera so he can tweak his performance. Only one person, his girlfriend, ever gets to see it before the competition.
Stage presence is crucial, he said. The dream of a Columbia College classmate of a fierce Viking standing on a cliff overlooking the ocean with thunder, lightning and clouds inspired his onstage persona. His song picks reflect his persona: aggressive and in-your-face.
It wasn't until he got back to Chicago from a trip home to Wyoming in 2005 that he saw a flier at John Barleycorn in Lincoln Park for competitive air guitar. "I thought it was the most absurd thing ever," he said. He knew he had to enter someday.
But he was so bummed he couldn't compete that year because he was on crutches after having surgery for tearing cartilage in his knee from, wait for it, playing air guitar at a friend's house to Iron Maiden's "Run to the Hills."
Turns out it's quite hazardous. He had to have back surgery in 2009 for a ruptured disc and two herniated discs in his back from rocking out too hard to "Through the Fire and Flames" by DragonForce. Howard also has a show stopping power slide move, but always ends up skinning his knee and feet.
His motto: Pain is temporary but air guitar is forever.
The first year he entered a competition, he beat out all Chicago players in 2006. He won the regional tournament again in 2008 and 2010.
As the reigning U.S. champ, he doesn't know how he'll top last year's performance. "I'm going to go balls to the wall and throw all safety aside, hurt myself and punish my body," Howard said.
He gets a surge of adrenaline when he steps onto the stage and shows off his mad guitar skills.
"It's important to not lose sight of what it is you're doing. You're playing air guitar. You shouldn't take yourself too serious," he said. "As long as you're in on the joke and don't take yourself too serious and have genuine fun, then air guitar is for you."
He does play the (real) guitar, but he doesn't think anybody wants to hear it.
"Air guitar is way more fun. I'm a rock star when I play air guitar," he said.
Five tips from Nordic Thunder for a good air guitar performance:
1.You have to be completely willing to make an absolute idiot of yourself.
2.Have absolutely zero shame.
3.Be willing to be the butt of many jokes.
4.Be able to turn those jokes around and blow their minds with how awesome your air guitar skills are.
5.Be willing to completely surrender yourself and want to have fun.

2009 Dodge Ram 1500 Crew Cab 4x4 TRX4 - First DrivePosted in Project Vehicles on November 1, 2008
While pickup sales are on the slide, the off-road market will always want trucks. Whether for personal use, light business, 4x4 trails, or heavy construction, the fullsize 1/2-ton American pickup will never go away. While there may be a shift in marketing demographics, you can count on Americans buying trucks. Fortunately Dodge has improved its chances of selling trucks by introducing a revolutionary truck with high-tech engine controls and a revamped rear suspension.
The all-new Dodge Ram 1500 pickup comes at a time when trucks are selling slowly and fuel economy is the top concern. Luckily the Dodge boys have been craftily working on the Multiple Displacement System (MDS), where the engine goes into four-cylinder mode more efficiently; Variable Valve Timing; and an active intake manifold, which helps in giving a big economy boost to the 5.7L Hemi-powered 1/2-ton. And besides that, the new sheetmetal styling has a super-low drag coefficient, allowing considerable gains to be made in the mileage department as well. But more important to us 4x4 guys is the new suspension slung under the rear-a four-link wonder that rides well and even stands up to heavy loads and towing.
The old Ram was getting a bit long in the tooth, and the interior had been panned by many critics as cheap and simplistic. But while we personally liked the old interior, the new style is admittedly better, save the three-spoke steering wheel which gets in the way of driving comfort. However, the rear suspension makes up for this flaw as the ride is incredibly supple yet precise, with no skate-around when corners and bumps combine to disturb most standard pickups. And while many would think the coil-sprung rear would not be good for towing, the urban and country route we tried dispelled that myth, and a heavily loaded test truck showed its good colors as well. A cool feature is the new Ram-Box storage option, a nifty storage area within the bedsides, and even under the passenger floorboard for those special packages.
While we only had the chance to drive the new Ram in a mild off-road excursion, we feel confident that it will rank well during our 4x4 of the Year test coming in the Feb. '09 issue. Stay tuned for the complete rundown on this stylin' new ride, as well as our Web site (www.4wheeloffroad.com) for even more photos.

Hancock police said the child was found by two 13-year-old boys outside a rear door to the Assembly of God Church. The parents told police that she had been brought indoors after playing in the snow on Friday night, had fallen asleep and had been put to bed. She awakened at 2:00 a.m. and was fed and put back to bed. Apparently sometime later she awoke and went outside to play in the snow again and couldn't get back in. The front door of the home was broken and couldn't be locked. The child was able to push it open but a spring on the door would have prevented her from pulling it open from the outside.

Let me provide another example that might be easier for a wider variety of (open minded) people to understand. In 2011 one of our generous fellow Burners was again offering brief showers to the dirty masses. (This was on the 2:00 side periphery) It was a wonderful service that had been provided at great financial and personal sacrifice by the individual providing it. One day they were unable to provide showers at the exact time that had been advertised. And it was then that we saw the changing culture of Burning Man. The crowd reacted with a vicious rancor toward the person providing the service. They were shouting vulgarities at him and unleashing terrible negativity that one would not have seen ten years ago.
Here's another example. My camp contributed to the playa art in 2011, and with that came the necessary lighting to prevent it from being hit by art cars and drunkards on bikes (myself included). We accomplished this lighting in part with solar ground lights. About halfway through the week, someone had broken open all the solar LEDs and left the shells for MOOP. They did this knowing full well that our project would be deprived of proper lighting and therefore may have been destroyed... And BTW people urinated on our project and left garbage around it too, so it was not just one person.... It was at that point that I understood that BM culture was changing in a way that no longer valued respect for others above all else. To destroy another person's gift in order to gain one small thing. This is new. And it is no longer isolated.
Few people "get it" anymore, and it seems, most people don't want to. This thread is merely another example of that.

Remember the Most Uncomfortable Awards Show Moment Ever?
These days, the CMA Award Entertainer of the Year is usually well-respected and receiving the award is a great honor. However that wasn't the case in 1975, when the award was given to John Denver. In fact, Charlie Rich got all hot and bothered (literally!) when he had to announce Denver as the winner.
Way back at the 1975 CMA Awards, the 1974 Entertainer of the Year took the stage to present the newest winner. Since Rich had the honor the previous year, it was him that had to awkwardly make the announcement. When the Silver Fox took the stage, he was met with a horrendous laugh track which just added to the moment's uncomfortable nature.
As soon as he had the award in his hand, it was all downhill from there. He stumbled to find his words, mumbling that the award was "the most beautiful thing in the world." He joked that the nominees were suffering just like he did when he was in their position before finally announcing the nominees in the category -- Denver, Waylon Jennings, Loretta Lynn, Ronnie Milsap and Conway Twitty. To make things even more weird, when he announced Lynn's name he propositioned her with a date.
"And the winner..." Rich said as he fumbled with the world's cheapest envelope. He then grabbed a lighter from his pocket and set the card on fire saying, "my friend, John Denver." Denver was live from a satellite feed and was lucky enough not to see the shenanigans -- instead he accepted the award humbly and graciously.
The event was the beginning of the end for Rich, who was both blacklisted from future CMA Awards and was met with record sales that started to dip. Later, Rich admitted that he was under the influence of both prescription medications and gin and tonics.

The wiki states, that after one has access to all the gods (don't know if this would included the Pactmaker), there is the chance to find the subdungeons with the Crusader. Since the wiki is outdated i don't know if this information is still valid.
But in my case i got the Crusader before Tikki Tooki (and the Pactmaker) and still missing both
So i don't know if this is a bug, or the wiki is not up-to-date in this case?
And can give me somebody any hints where to find Tikki Tooki?

Texas Baptist Men's Church Renewal Ministry seeks to lead congregations—both laymen and leaders—into a deeper place of spiritual growth, engagement and relationship with their Lord.
To accomplish this, the ministry regularly hosts Church Renewal weekends in various churches throughout the year, which serve to provide a time for believers to grow in their love relationship with Jesus Christ. Through powerful teachings and resources, TBM leaders and volunteers walk church members through a weekend of study to help them see where God is at work—and how they can join him in his activity. The weekend is designed to equip, motivate, encourage and call out the hearts of participants.
Prayer forms the foundation of the weekend, which is based on Southern Baptist author and ministry leader Henry Blackaby's renowned Experiencing God curriculum, as well as Experiencing God Together, On Mission With God and Fresh Encounter. Weekend events introduce and encourage more in-depth studies in each of these areas, which work as foundational elements in TBM's Church Renewal program.

Like any nervous 19-year-old, he was biting his nails.
Dzhokhar Tsarnaev dropped into Gilberto Junior's body shop at about 1 p.m. on April 16, the day after the bombing at the Boston Marathon, to pick up a white Mercedes E350 wagon. He said it was owned by his girlfriend.
Dzhokhar had left the car at the shop two weeks earlier for a new rear bumper. Junior hadn't done the job, yet Dzhokhar took it anyway. Junior had known Dzhokhar and his older brother, Tamerlan, 26, for a couple of years. They would come by the shop with a group of friends and talk to Junior, who is Brazilian, about soccer and Brazilian women.
"He was a normal kid," Junior, 44, said of Dzhokhar. Junior had no hint that the Tsarnaev brothers were suspects in the attack until later in the day. Before long, Tamerlan would be killed in a confrontation with police and Dzhokhar would be the subject of a manhunt that shut down colleges, transit service and sporting events throughout the Boston area.
Dzhokhar was apprehended last night at a house in Watertown, Massachusetts, where he was believed to be hiding after an almost 24-hour search. He was taken to Massachusetts General Hospital for treatment of serious wounds suffered in a gunfight with police the night before, authorities said.
With the aftermath of the bombing still unfolding and information changing by the hour, one constant has been that the brothers didn't appear to be fanatics.
While some dark details of their lives will likely emerge at some point, so far their motivations remain a mystery.
Their lifestyle included many of the standard trappings of adolescence and young adulthood, including various social media postings with vague musings about life, love and, in some cases, Islam, though the postings are generally low-key.
Authorities haven't yet found connections to any groups or other suspects, said a person briefed on the investigation who asked for anonymity because the probe continues.
U.S. intelligence agencies reviewing volumes of international communications and other intelligence on terrorism had found no evidence, so far, that the Boston bombers were members of or inspired by any foreign terrorist organization, said a U.S. official who spoke on the condition of anonymity because intelligence matters are classified. Nor were they encouraged by contacts with Islamic or other extremists overseas, the official said.
The brothers, who lived in Cambridge, came from the former Soviet Union to Massachusetts about a decade ago. They left evidence, including on the Internet, that shows them straddling two cultures, an America focused on entertainment and consumerism and a Muslim faith tradition that emphasized devotion and purity.
A profile attributed to Dzhokhar on the Russian social networking site VK lists "career and money" as his personal priority and Islam as his world view.
Tamerlan was a competitive boxer, an aspiring engineer and a devout Muslim.
Tamerlan was born in Russia and his younger brother in the central Asian nation of Kyrgyzstan, said two U.S. law- enforcement officials familiar with the investigation. The brothers and two sisters came as refugees to the Dagestan city of Makhachkala in October 2001 from Kyrgyzstan, said Emirmagomed Davudov, the director of Gimnasium Number 1, where Tamerlan went to seventh grade and Dzhokhar to first grade.
The parents first received asylum in the U.S. and then filed for the children, who were given "derivative asylum status" and didn't come through the refugee-admissions program -- though the legal standard is essentially the same, said a State Department official who requested anonymity to discuss the case.
Tamerlan was the extrovert and Dzhokhar the introvert, John Curran of Watertown, Tamerlan's former boxing coach who hadn't seen them in a few years, told NBC News.
"The young brother was like a puppy dog following his older brother," Curran said.
The Russian newspaper Izvestia published what it said was an interview yesterday with the suspects' father, Anzor Tsarnaev, who lives in the Russian region of Dagestan. In it, he said his oldest son was happily married to an American and had a child.
The father said he talked with Tamerlan right after the terror attack, to ask if he was all right, and Tamerlan said, "We are fine, don't worry, we didn't go there." 'Set Up' Their mother, Zubeidat Tsarnaeva, told Russian TV network RT: "I am 100 percent sure that they were set up. Both of my sons are innocent. My youngest son has been in America since he was 8. We never talked about terrorism at home. My eldest son became interested in religion five years ago. He began to follow rules of Islam, but he never said he plans to enter the road to jihad."
Tamerlan was registered as an amateur boxer in 2003-2004 and 2008-2010. He competed in the U.S. National Golden Gloves competition in Salt Lake City in 2009 in the heavyweight division and was the subject of a 2010 photo essay entitled "Will Box for Passport: An Olympic Drive to Become a United States Citizen" in Boston University's student magazine.
In the magazine, he said, he hoped to become an engineer, loved the movie "Borat," and didn't smoke or drink alcohol, given his faith. While he'd lived in the U.S. for years by then, he said, "I don't have a single American friend. I don't understand them." Fleeing Chechnya He told the magazine his family fled Chechnya in the early 1990s to escape the conflict there between Chechen separatists and the Russian military.
Tamerlan was arrested in 2009 on an assault and battery charge and wasn't convicted, according to Stephanie Guyotte, a spokeswoman for the Middlesex County, Massachusetts, district attorney. Additional details weren't available Friday because the courthouse was closed, she said.
Tamerlan spent about seven months in Russia last year, flying out of New York, according to two law enforcement officials who asked not to be identified.
Both brothers had a social network presence, though Dzhokhar's was more robust.
While it is difficult to know for sure whether a Twitter, Facebook or another social-network account is genuine, all indications are that the most insightful account he had was on a Russian site called VK. His page showed that he logged on since the Boston attack, most recently on the morning of April 19, and featured four posts, including a whimsical video making fun of accents of people from the Caucusus region.
It also contained a joke: "A question is asked at a school: A car is rolling. Inside are a Dagestani, a Chechen and an Ingush. Question -- who is driving the car? Answer: The police." The page also linked to a video that showed bloodied and wounded people in Syria being stepped on or hunted by soldiers.
Tamerlan appeared to have a Google+ account, with 17 people having him in their circles. He also subscribed to a channel on YouTube called "Allah is the One," and commented on a video, which recounts a Russian's conversion to Islam.
In a post two months ago, Tamerlan said, "You accepted Islam not because you believe in it, but because of your own passions and interests (and which Allah knows) that you followed. You entered Islam, and as quickly exited it. You betrayed yourself." A month ago, Tamerlan reposted the same comment on a different Russian site, Mirtesen.ru, which has several videos recounting personal experiences of conversion to Islam.
While some of the online videos have militant or jihadist themes, they don't appear to promote violence against the U.S. The only explicitly political video takes aim at the Russian-supported leader of the republic of Chechnya, Ramzan Kadyrov.
However, several videos have been deleted from the site, including two originally posted under the heading "terrorists."
In a black-and-white photo posted in 2012 on his Russian social network page, Dzhokhar, the younger brother, wears a mop of hair, a dark shirt and a serious expression. He links to several Chechen-related groups, while a video posted April 9 on his page purportedly shows images of atrocities in Syria and ends with the Russian phrase, "Syria calls. We answer." Dzhokhar attended Cambridge Rindge and Latin School, a prestigious public high school in Cambridge that's known for its eclectic, diverse student body.
Among others it educated were actor-director Ben Affleck and basketball player Patrick Ewing.
Getting Scholarship In 2011, Dzhokhar received a higher-education scholarship from the city of Cambridge. On Sept. 11 of the following year, he became a U.S. citizen, law enforcement officials said. The University of Massachusetts Dartmouth said he was registered as a student there. He worked intermittently during his high school years as a lifeguard at Harvard University, the school said, most recently last summer.
Agustin Nedina, an 18-year-old from Cambridge who attended middle and high school with Dzhokhar, said he once played computer games at the suspect's home.
"The one thing I remember clearly is he was playing lots of violent shooting games," said Nedina, who graduated from high school in 2012, a year behind Dzhokhar. Nedina said the games Dzhokhar favored weren't in English.
"He was a quiet kid," he said.
Nedina said Dzhokhar was on the wrestling team.
"He wasn't one of the popular kids, but he had a good number of friends," Nedina said.
Both brothers attended Cambridge Community Charter School, a public, tuition-free, college-preparatory charter school in the Kendall Square area near the Massachusetts Institute of Technology. Tamerlan attended Bunker Hill Community College as a part-time student in the accounting program for three semesters between 2006 and 2008.
Ty Darros, 21, said he hung out with Dzhokhar a dozen or so times and last saw him about eight months ago. He said he was surprised to learn that Dzhokhar is suspected in the bombings.
"He was such a nice guy," he said. "The strangest thing about it is that I can't think of anything about him that was strange." Sherry Hamby, a research professor at Sewanee, the University of the South, who is also editor of Psychology of Violence, a scientific journal, said events like the bombing of the marathon seem incomprehensible but often offer common themes that might be seen in the case of the Tsarnaevs.
Most perpetrators of violence are in a state of "moral disengagement," said Hamby, who hasn't met or spoken with the suspects. These offenders believe that they've been seriously provoked and that their actions, which almost anyone else would see as heinous, are reasonable under the circumstances.
"The stereotype is that these people are completely psychotic and divorced from reality," she said. "In fact, in other domains of their lives, they aren't divorced from reality at all. They nearly always tend to think of themselves as good guys."
Some immigrants who perceive themselves to be on the fringes of society can begin to harbor these types of feelings, said Usha Tummala-Narra, an assistant professor, counseling psychology at Boston College in Chestnut Hill. When some people have trouble blending into society, they may find their way to others who have similar feelings of alienation, she said.
"Sometimes a person can look like they're blending into mainstream culture, and dress like they have, and go to parties and the rest of it, but they may feel like they never belonged," said Tummala-Narra, who also never met or spoke with either of the brothers. "That might be a critical part of the story." Brothers like the Tsarnaevs might have formed a kind of "cocoon" mentality, similar to Eric Harris and Dylan Klebold, the two high school seniors who killed 13 people and injured 24 in the 1999 Columbine High School massacre in Colorado, Tummala- Narra said.
"It's a way of creating your own safety in a world that doesn't seem quite safe," she said.
While the younger brother has been described as good student and warm-hearted, his behavior may have been influenced by his older brother, said James Alan Fox, a professor of criminology, law and public policy at Northeastern University, one of the Boston colleges that remained closed on Friday.
"It's not just an anti-American or Islamic jihadist ideology, it's the relationship between the two perpetrators," said Fox, who was interviewed by telephone while he was locked inside his Boston home. "They brought out the very worst in each other.
Individually, they may have seen like nice guys. But together they create a different entity."

We recently hosted the Aid Information Challenge in cooperation with Development Gateway. This event brought together over 100 participants to work on visualizing aid information and data. The morning started with inspiring talks by Aleem Walji of the World Bank's Innovation department and our keynote speaker, Clay Johnson, Director of Sunlight Labs.
Below is a clip from Clay's keynote where he explains that "the next step for this field is not just to open the data, but to put it into context for people...not just so that the World Bank can make better decisions in Uganda and we can save some children, but also so that we can get people in the long run to make better decisions, personal decisions."
The event wrapped up by compiling a list of the best ideas of the day. Chung Wu, an engineer with Google, presented the new Google Public Data Explorer. He explained, "Google is kind of on the consumer side of public data; we're trying to consume the public data that you guys are producing and make it accessible to normal people, like myself."

Alabama Pioneers - A Member's Story
For some time, I have subscribed to an e-newsletter published by Alabama Pioneers, a website geared toward genealogy research in Alabama. Although my initial intent was to use the website to research some of my own ancestors who lived, at least for a time, in parts of that state, those with the surnames of Coggins, Garrard, Pettus, Porter, and Ragland, I have also enjoyed reading about unrelated families. The person behind this fantastic genealogy website is Donna Causey, and her informative blog can be accessed here. One of the sections of the Alabama Pioneers website is entitled "Alabama Memories," a place where a number of members' stories are posted, and the site's e-newsletter often contains a link to one of these stories. Today's newsletter includes such a link. I invite you to read "The Home Place," an interesting family story written by Annice Graham and submitted by Dorothy Gast, her granddaughter. Graham's story of her own family's experiences during the depression years is one that will interest anyone who had ancestors who also endured those difficult times.

So I'm follow this: ogldev.atspace.co.uk/www/tutorial04/tutorial04.html tutorial in order to learn OpenGL. And currently I'm learning to use shaders, however, when I'm linking my shader program, "glGetProgramiv" returns GL_FALSE but there's no error log from "glGetProgramInfoLog".
I'm currently programming on Xubuntu (Ubuntu 12.10), and using the "NVIDIA binary Xorg driver, kernel module and VDPAU library from nvidia-current (proprietary, tested)" driver. On a Geforce GTX 560 Ti if that matters. But anyway, below is a link to my code, the first page is my main.cpp file where I run the rendering and gameloop, and in the symGL file i have a little utility class for loading shaders. Any idea what's the problem?
Code: gist.github.com/4592760
Output: i.imgur.com/QNE67JX.png
Source code of the vertex shader can be found in the output image as well.

JOHNSON CITY, Tenn. (February 13, 2006) - When Lady Buc junior Brooke Wilhoit steps on the basketball court, she's always sure of one thing; her parents, Shane and Ellen Wilhoit, will be in the stands, cheering her on.
The Wilhoits, from nearby Sevierville, Tenn., have quite a streak going, attending all but two games in their daughter's collegiate career. And that's not just home games, whether the Lady Bucs are at home or away, one thing is for sure - the Wilhoits are guaranteed to be behind the ETSU bench.
"They're amazing, I can't even describe the feeling of knowing that every game, I can look up at the stands and know they're going to be there, no matter where we are," said the younger Wilhoit. "If it's a 14 hour drive - they're going to be there. They're just awesome. It's comforting. It makes it easier to get out there and play when I know they'll be there to support me."
In fact, coming the Memorial Center to see their daughter play wasn't the couple's first trip to Johnson City, they are both ETSU graduates.
"Once they (ETSU) started recruiting me, it was pretty neat because both my parents graduated from here," said Brooke. "And it was nice that it was so close to home."
When Brooke finally made her decision to become a Lady Buc, her parents couldn't have been more excited.
"We were really pleased when they (ETSU) started recruiting Brooke because we love ETSU," said Shane. "She had a few other options, and we actually thought she was going to take one of those, but all of a sudden she said �ETSU is the place for me.' So we were thrilled."
"We're originally from Greenville (Tenn.)," explained Ellen. "So she's 20 minutes from both of our families. That makes it nice."
"Distance was a big part," said Brooke on her decision to come to ETSU. "And I really wanted to play Division I basketball. It's always been my dream."
When it came time to hit the road to see their daughter play college basketball, the Wilhoits never thought twice about traveling.
"It's (traveling) just been something we've always done. We've always gone to all her games since she was little," said Ellen.
The traveling didn't just start in college either. Brooke mentioned several AAU tournaments when she and her parents made the long drives to destinations such as Arlington, Texas, and Oklahoma City, Okla.
"I thought it was going to be tough getting to all the games, especially the away games," said Shane. "But we love this team so much that it makes it really easy. We're just fortunate to get the time off to do it. We love the coaches and the team and everything about it."
When ETSU joined the Atlantic Sun last summer, though they were a little worried about the distance that separates the schools in the new conference, the Wilhoits never altered their travel plans.
"We were definitely worried," said Ellen on when she first learned of ETSU's move to the A-Sun. "We never questioned whether or not we were going to go to the games, we were just concerned if we were going to be able to arrange our schedules to do it."
The Lady Bucs' trip to Florida Atlantic in Boca Raton, Fla., didn't even stop the travelers, who made sure there were at least two ETSU fans in the stands.
"The scheduling has definitely helped," said Shane. "They usually play two games at a time on trips, so that's made it a lot easier on us."
Aside from the FAU game, when the Wilhoits were the only two in the ETSU stands, the Lady Bucs haven't been at a loss for cheering section. Many Lady Bucs' friends and family have attended ETSU games, helping the Lady Bucs to several big road wins.
"I love it when my teammates' parents come to games," said Brooke. "I really enjoy getting to see everybody, and our team really appreciates it."
When the Wilhoits discovered that the Lady Bucs' game at Kennesaw State was going to tipoff at 9 p.m., they have a difficult decision on their hands, one that was made a little easier by the fact that the game was being broadcast live on CSS.
"They missed our TV game (at Kennesaw State). They were going to come, but then when the time got changed they just couldn't do it, because they would have gotten home at five in the morning and had to go to work," explained Brooke. "They didn't really mind it, because they got to see us on TV anyway."
Back in Sevierville, the Wilhoits thoroughly enjoyed the experience of watching their beloved Lady Bucs on live TV.
"It was the first time we've ever seen the Lady Bucs on TV," said Shane. "It was exciting. We really enjoyed that."
The Wilhoits missed their first game of Brooke's college career earlier this season, when scheduling prevented them from seeing the Lady Bucs play at College of Charleston in early December. But the Wilhoits still cheered on their team, listening to ETSU on the radio.
"He (Shane) actually had to yell at me, because I kept screaming," said Ellen on listening to ETSU on the radio. "But it was great that we got to listen."
The Lady Bucs are on the road again this weekend when they take on Lipscomb and Belmont in Nashville, Tenn., and one thing is for sure - the Wilhoits will be in the stands.
