Ivan Vladik vs Maxim Petrovic
Both Ivan Vladik and Maxim Petrovic have trained hard for this match. Two young bucks in the prime of their lives lock horns in this exclusive battle of strength and stamina. Trying desperately to control the others writhing body each is about the same strength and size and is therefore having a tough time of it, being smothered in oil isn't helping either. Finally claiming a couple of quick rounds, one wrestler gains a quick advantage and takes the lead, and in Submission Wrestling XXX a few quick points is all it takes to win a match.

Mother, high school students watch as Norwich teen sentenced for crime spree
Nineteen-year-old Waylon Verley of Norwich, who had no criminal record before he went on a crime spree with two other men in the fall of 2011, was sentenced to 30 months in prison Wednesday in New London Superior Court.
Verley's mother watched the sentencing from one side of the courtroom, and a visiting group of students from Waterford High School observed from the other side of the room as Verley, wearing tan prison scrubs, apologized for his crimes.
"I, Waylon Verley, just want to say I'm sorry for the crimes I've committed and the suffering I've caused," he said. "... I will stop my life of crime and drugs and try to make up for my past by doing things right."
At an earlier court hearing, he pleaded guilty to first-degree larceny, three counts of third-degree burglary and third-degree arson.
Verley and two other teens burglarized homes in Norwich, Preston and Old Lyme and traveled to pawn shops throughout New England to sell the items, according to testimony.
They set fire to a shed at a Saunders Hollow Road, Old Lyme, home in order to conceal evidence of their thefts and used "Molotov cocktails," or glass bottles stuffed with gasoline and rags, to set fire to the pickup truck of a Groton teen who they said had ripped them off in a marijuana deal.
One of his co-defendants, Safi Kachmar, 19, was sentenced last month to 42 months in prison. A third teen was treated as a youthful offender, and his case was resolved confidentially.
Prosecutor Lawrence J. Tytla had recommended a four-year prison sentence for Verley but acknowledged Verley had made a detailed confession to police and was "entitled to some consideration" in light of the fact that Kachmar had received a reduced sentence.
Public Defender Bruce A. Sturman said it was Verley's statement that "made the case for the police." He said Verley, who had played football for Norwich Free Academy but dropped out during his senior year, has passed his GED since going to prison and is working to become an automotive mechanic.
In the Norwich burglary, the police said the teens bludgeoned the homeowners' 200-pound bull mastiff with a hatchet and sprayed bleach in its face. The dog had to be euthanized. Both Kachmar and Verley denied assaulting the dog, but Verley, in his statement to the court, said he wanted to apologize to the homeowner "on behalf of the codefendant."
"I didn't hit the dog, and I wouldn't do such a thing," Verley said. "I am an animal lover." Judge Susan B. Handy credited Verley for cooperating with the investigation and said he was an intelligent man who could do better.
"There is a significant price to pay, however," she said. "You are going to leave here with five felony convictions that are going to follow you for the rest of your life."
As part of their sentences, Verley and the other co-defendants are being ordered to repay the victims a total of $49,000.

If Your Tribute To Pez Gets Too Much Attention, Pez Might Sue
from the ain't-that-fun deptChurchHatesTucker alerts us to the news that Pez, makers of the famous candy that comes in dispensers with the breakaway heads, is suing a Pez Memorabilia museum. The original article says it's for copyright violations, but I believe that's wrong. The lawsuit appears to be about trademark. The museum itself is not affiliated with the company that makes the candy (and, in the past, the museum changed its name to highlight the fact that it's Pez Memorabilia, to clarify that it wasn't associated with the actual candy company. However, at issue here is the giant (working) 7-foot mock Pez-like dispenser that is on display at the museum. The candy company seems particularly miffed that the Guinness folks declared it the "world's largest Pez dispenser" recently, with the candy company claiming this is false, since without a license, it's not really a Pez dispenser. Now, the trademark lawyers will rush to say that a company such as Pez needs to defend its trademark, lest it become generic. And that's true. But there are ways that such things can be handled without the company demanding the monument to Pez be destroyed. It's difficult to see what "harm" this 7-foot dispenser is doing to the Pez brand. In fact, just the opposite is likely. So why not just grant the museum a license and embrace the fact that there are fans so into your candy that they'd want to build a 7-foot monument to it? Otherwise you just look like a bunch of bullies.

Last night I read on A.C. Ivory's blog Find My Ancestor that the Family History Library's catalog would be down for a few days. Earlier in the day I had tried to access the catalog. I was trying to get myself organized for my Indiana probate record summer research. A few weeks ago I had made a spreadsheet of all my ancestors that died in Indiana, their date of death, and the microfilm numbers that contained their wills and probates. Yesterday I wanted to print off the film notes pages for each microfilm number so that I could take notes on it on my findings for each film I order this summer.
But as A.C. pointed out the catalog was down. I received a message to try again later. This morning the catalog won't even load to the search page.
But I had another idea. I remembered FamilySearch's beta website. This is the update to their pilot site. It allows you to search for records, but also allows you to search the catalog.
This catalog is still working. It worked yesterday and it worked this morning. I hope that the people working at the FHL know about this other catalog and are not leaving their guests stranded with access only through old microfiche. The beta site is different than the regular catalog and it won't let me print by film number, but if you are at the library and stranded without the normal catalog you won't mind.
I'd appreciate if this post was passed around to anyone at the FHL or the FHCs in case they don't know about this workaround.

Our County Commission is in the process of evaluating an oil and gas ordinance for San Miguel County. This is a good process and we support a reasonable outcome, with solid environmental regulations. However, as currently drafted, the ordinance would effectively ban all oil and gas activity in the county, with its restrictive regulations. We support a balanced and reasonable approach that allows both jobs and environmental protection. The proposed ordinance won't do that.
The people here will benefit from the economic activity, as they do around the state.

Eureka! Dinos hand off to birds
by Scott LaFee
Almost 200 million years ago, a theropod tromping across a muddy lake- shore in what is now part of Utah stopped and briefly sat down to rest, leaving behind tracks that indicate at least some dinosaur species became birdlike far earlier in their history than previously supposed.
Pressed into the ancient mud were the fossilized prints of the theropod's hind feet, pelvis and, most profoundly, forelimbs and palms. The palm prints did not face down, contrary to popular depictions of dinosaurs like T. rex and velociraptors. Instead, the palms faced inward, almost as if the theropod had been clutching a ball.
That suggests the theropod no longer used its forelimbs for walking. The unidentified species couldn't turn its palms face down or up like humans, but could bend them back against its arms, a movement similar to a bird folding its wings.
The tired theropod sat down much like its modern descendants — the ostrich and emu.
"The words Darwin used are identical to those used by Tibetan Buddhists."

What is the highest four-digit number, with no zeros, in which the first digit is one-quarter of the third digit, the second digit is three times the first digit, and the third and last digits are the same?

Why is the third hand on a clock called a second hand?
A purple or pignose frog (Nasikabatrachus sahyadrensis). Endemic to the Western Ghats region of India, pignose frogs were only discovered in 2003, largely because they spend most of their lives underground, coming to the surface for just a couple of weeks each year to mate during monsoons.
Adults are usually dark purple and feed on subterranean termites. Their croak sounds like a chicken's cluck.

LONDON (Reuters) - Bruce Springsteen treated his fans to a complete performance of "Born in the USA", the 1984 album which shot him to global superstardom, as the centerpiece of a three-hour show in London on Sunday night.
The Boss and his E Street Band played the 12 songs in the same order as the original, kicking off with the Vietnam veteran's lament of the title track and serving up rollicking versions of "Glory Days", "No Surrender," and other favorites.
The enormous success of "Born in the USA" raised Springsteen's popularity and fortune when it was released, selling 30 million copies worldwide and making him one of the biggest acts of the era.
It also has a special place in Springsteen lore - when then U.S. President Ronald Reagan praised the title song as a patriotic anthem, he earned a public rebuke from Springsteen, who said he had misunderstood its message.
Three decades on, it still delighted the crowd at the Hard Rock Calling festival at the Queen Elizabeth Olympic Park in east London, close to the venues of last year's Olympic Games.
Nils Lofgren's fiery guitar solo on "Cover Me" was a highlight of the set. For "Dancing in the Dark" - still a regular feature in his concerts - he brought out his mother Adele as his dancing partner.
Sunday's show featured crowd-pleasers such as "Badlands" and "Born to Run" when the grey-clad Springsteen worked the crowd with an energy that belied his years.
He also played three songs from "Nebraska", the mournful acoustic album which confounded fans when it was released in 1982. The E Street Horns changed the mood, turning the murder ballad "Johnny 99" into a New Orleans-style party.
The numbers from Springsteen's latest album "Wrecking Ball" showed he is still writing great songs and bringing in a range of influences from Gospel to Irish jigs.
The show's most poignant moment was the epic "Jungleland" from "Born to Run". Springsteen sang the quieter passages to a hushed crowd and Jake Clemons, the nephew and replacement for the late E Street Band stalwart Clarence Clemons, raised the roof with an extended saxophone solo that would have made his uncle proud.
And nobody pulled the plug this time. At last year's Hard Rock Calling, which took place in Hyde Park, the power was switched off by curfew-minded staff just as he and former Beatle Paul McCartney launched into "Twist and Shout".
Now aged 63, Springsteen is in fine fettle. His reputation stands as arguably rock's greatest performer and he still fills stadiums, arenas and parks to deliver his marathon shows.
He and the E Street Band are now into the second year of the "Wrecking Ball" tour, which has seen him go back and forth between Europe and North America and which ends in Rio de Janeiro, Brazil, on September 21.

Puerto Viejo de Talamanca
Earth : North America : Central America : Costa Rica : Caribbean Costa Rica : Puerto Viejo de Talamanca
Puerto Viejo de Talamanca is a small coastal town in Caribbean Costa Rica in the province of Limón. It is popular with surfers and backpackers. This is an area where foreigners are buying and building. There are two gorgeous National Parks nearby - Cahuita and Manzanillo, and it rains more than on the Pacific side, which is why it is so lush and green with the rainforest coming down to the sea.
Clear water, coconut palms, great surf and a laid-back Caribbean atmosphere make Puerto Viejo a favorite among travelers. Located on the Caribbean Coast, about an hour south of Limon, Puerto Viejo is the center of activity between the smaller villages of Cahuita and Manzanillo. The relaxed, seaside town is framed by jungle, turquoise seas, banana plantations and scenic rivers.
Formerly a small fishing village, Puerto Viejo has grown rapidly in recent years. Avid surfers, drawn to the famous Salsa Brava waves, have made Puerto Viejo a hotspot on the surfing circuit. The center of town now has many souvenir and surf shops, bars, restaurants, hotels and tour companies. True to its beach location and Caribbean ambiance, bikes and pedestrians dominate road traffic along the coastal roads.
With its blend of Afro-Caribbean descendants, expat Europeans and indigenous Costa Ricans, Puerto Viejo charms visitors with a unique mix of people and cultures. Rastafari culture has a firm foothold in the town, and many Rastas sell handmade jewelry and other wares along the town's vibrant roadside.
Before the Spanish arrival, the Bribri, Kekoldi and Cabecar indigenous peoples were the primary inhabitants of Costa Rica's southern Caribbean. Later, Afro-Caribbean immigrants arrived, many from Jamaica, and settled in the coastal towns of Puerto Viejo, Punta Uva, Manzanillo and Monkey Point. Because of their influence, many Puerto Viejo natives today speak English as their first language.
Until the late 1970's, Puerto Viejo was relatively isolated from the rest of Costa Rica. In 1979, a new road connected the small village to San Jose and the Central Valley. In 1986, electricity arrived, supplying light and other important conveniences to the town. Private phone lines became available in 1996, and high-speed internet was offered in 2006. Today, Puerto Viejo is as modern as any beach town, though it still retains its original charm.
Get in
The local bus leaves 4-5 times a day direct from Caribe Station in San José. Last bus leaves at 4PM and all buses are direct with one pit stop outside of Limon. The ride is approx 4 hours, although the voyage can take much longer. Make sure you get on the bus to Puerto Viejo de Talamanca, not de Sarapiquí which is a different part of the country.
If you want to save a few colones, you can take local bus from Caribe station to Limón and transfer to Puerto Viejo bus. This is what many locals do.
There are also tourist buses that will pick you up at your hotel and drop you off where you want. The most popular one is Easy Ride Shuttle Services they run daily from San Jose hotels and SJO airport to Puerto Viejo & Cahuita at 06.30 am and 3.30 pm returning daily at 06.00 am and 1.00 pm rate is $47 one way per person. There is also Grayline.
Driving here is also popular, but roads can be bad as at certain times of the year, the pot holes can get obnoxious. However, you really don't need a car when you are here. Most people rent bicycles and scooters. The roads may not be all paved, but they are flat as they all follow beach line.
Get around
The bus system is very limited. Busing between the beaches can be very hard with one every 4 hours sometimes. Even a 15 minute taxi ride can be $8, as expensive as most western nations. Most lodges have bicycles for rent. Taxis hang out in the center of town and will take you anywhere you want to go up and down the coast. When taking a taxi, make sure to negotiate your price ahead of time. Most of the taxi drivers know the area extremely well and can find their way with just the name of your hotel.
Tropical forest surrounds the village and palm trees line the beach, adding to Puerto Viejo's natural beauty. Travelers can glimpse spectacular wildlife in Cahuita National Park or the Gandoca-Manzanillo National Wildlife Refuge, which border the town to its north and south, respectively. Just south of Puerto Viejo, visitors will discover the sublime beaches of Playa Cocles, Playa Chiquita and Punta Uva. The dirt road connecting the villages is often in poor shape and full of potholes, though road repair vehicles labor daily to improve conditions. Beachfront cabins, restaurants and shops line the street, almost all the way to Manzanillo. There is no shortage of accommodations in the area; numerous budget hostels cater to surfers and young backpackers that frequent the area, while posh resorts offer comfort and luxury along with impressive ocean views.
Black and white sand beaches extend for miles; they are wide and often deserted, offering stretches ideal for walking and sunbathing. Snorkeling is excellent when the water is calm, and nearby Cahuita and Manzanillo are home to beautiful, living coral reefs that provide some of the best snorkeling in Costa Rica.
Instead of huge hotels, there are lots of ecolodges from basic to luxury, and lots of places to eat and party. Many hotels are located along the coastal road going to Manzanillo.
Get out
The small road goes further south through villages like Cocles and Punta Uva, both with small houses for rent.

NIH Small Grant Program (R03)
The R03 grant mechanism will support small research projects that can be carried out in a short period of time with limited resources. The NIH has standardized the Small Grant (R03) application characteristics, requirements, preparation, and review procedures in order to accommodate investigator-initiated (unsolicited) applications.
The R03 Parent Funding Opportunity Announcement (FOA) for investigator-initiated R03 applications can be found at PA-19-052 and articulates the policies and procedures that apply to this grant mechanism.This website describes the use of the investigator-initiated R03 and describes the NIH Institutes and Centers (ICs) that intend to accept such applications.
- You may request a project period of up to two years and a budget for direct costs of up $50,000 per year.
- The R03 cannot be renewed
- No preliminary data are required but may be included if available.
- The Research Strategy may not exceed 6 pages.
- A doctoral student may not apply for an R03 grant to support thesis or dissertation research. An R03 award may be used to assist students who are pursuing dissertation studies when the work is within the scope of the R03 award.
The common characteristic of the small grant is the provision of limited funding for a short period of time. Examples of the types of projects that ICs support with the R03 include the following:
- Pilot or feasibility studies
- Secondary analysis of existing data
- Small, self-contained research projects
- Development of research methodology
- Development of new research technology
All investigators should consult the list of participating ICs (shown below) as well as the IC staff listed as contacts to determine if an R03 application is appropriate. Investigators are strongly encouraged to consult with the appropriate NIH program administrator about their proposed research project during the concept development stage of the application.
All R03 grant applications will be assigned to the ICs according to standard PHS referral guidelines and specific program interests. Applications that are assigned to an IC that does not participate in this program may not proceed to review.There is also a list of ICs that do not accept unsolicited R03 applications. Non-participating ICs might solicit other R03 applications using Requests for Applications (RFAs) or Program Announcements (PAs) to meet specific program needs. Information about such initiatives can be obtained in the NIH Guide for Grants and Contracts and by consulting with NIH staff. In some cases those announcements may specify different application characteristics, review criteria, and receipt dates

1.1 Mission Statement: The mission of the West Virginia Purchasing Division is to provide valued services to our customers by making sound and effective decisions in accordance with state law. As a customer-driven organization, we strive to exercise prudent and fair spending practices in acquiring quality goods and services in a timely fashion at the lowest possible price; to continually improve the services we offer to maximize the efficiency of state government; and to provide leadership and guidance to our customers – state agencies, vendors, legislators and the general public – while building lasting business relationships.
1.2 Statutory Authorization: The Purchasing Division was created and its duties are defined in the West Virginia Code, §5A-3-1 et seq. According to the Code, "the Purchasing Division was created for the purpose of establishing centralized offices to provide purchasing, travel, and leasing services to the various state agencies." The Purchasing Division offers many other services to state agencies, political subdivisions, and the vendor community. These programs include, but are not limited to, Acquisition and Contract Administration, Surplus Property Program, Travel Management, Purchase Order Encumbrance and Inventory Management.
1.3 Regulatory Authorization: The Purchasing Division functions in adherence to its Legislative Rules and Regulations (148 CSR 1). This Legislative Rule is included in this manual in Appendix D and serves as an explanation and clarification of operative procedures for the purchase of commodities and services by the Purchasing Division. It applies to all spending units of state government, except those statutorily exempted.
1.4 Required Use of Handbook: State procurement officers and their support staffs are required to use this handbook to perform procurement and other related activities.
1.5 Organization: The Purchasing Division is organizationally structured under the West Virginia Department of Administration. The sections within the division are detailed below:
Acquisition and Contract Administration Section:
· Process all purchases expected to exceed $25,000
· Statewide Contracts
· Inspection Services
· Contract Management
Communication and Technical Services Section:
Program Services Section:
1.6 Disclaimer: The Purchasing Division Procedures Handbook is provided for reference purposes only. This handbook may be amended or changed at any time at the discretion of the Purchasing Director to ensure compliance with the laws, rules and procedures of the Purchasing Division and the State of West Virginia. Exceptions to these guidelines require written requests to and approval by the Purchasing Director.
1.7 Public Records: All records in the Purchasing Division related to purchase orders and contracts are considered public records. The only exemptions to disclosure of information are listed in the West Virginia Code §29B-1-4. All bids, proposals or offers submitted by vendors shall become public information and are available for inspection during normal business hours. All public information may be released with or without a Freedom of Information request.
The submission of any information to the Purchasing Division by a vendor puts the risk of disclosure on the vendor. Upon the written request of a vendor, the Purchasing Division will make a reasonable effort not to disclose information that is within the guidelines of §29B-1-4. The Purchasing Division does not guarantee non-disclosure of any information to the public.
Copies of records are available upon written request from the vendor. A cost of 50 cents per page (minimum of $10) is charged to furnish copies. Copy charges must be paid in advance. Copies of most bids can be obtained from the Purchasing Division website (www.state.wv.us/admin/purchase/bids).
1.8 Ethics: State procurement officers have the responsibility of purchasing commodities used in the operation of public programs and services in the most effective and efficient method available. In performing this task, certain guidelines based on the West Virginia Code must be followed. Our ethical standards must be of the highest degree since public funds are being used.
The Purchasing Division abides by the Code of Ethics created by the National Institute of Governmental Purchasing (NIGP), which is found in Appendix F.
1.9 Automated Purchasing System: The automated purchasing system, referred to as TEAM (Team Effort for Acquisition Management) officially went into effect July 15, 1991, to enable state agencies to enter requisitions electronically. The goal of the system was to improve the access, efficiency and management of information regarding the procurement of commodities and services necessary to operate state government.
TEAM offers many beneficial features, including but not limited to, online requisition entry, internal agency approval procedures, statistics compilation, RFQ preparation, and purchase order information and status. Training is available to new and experienced users. State agencies should refer to the TEAM Training Handbook with their questions. For additional information, please call (304) 558-2314.
1.10 Acquisition Forms: Official TEAM generated forms should be used by agencies with on-line (TEAM) capability in lieu of the (WV-35) Purchase Requisition, (WV-39) Release Order, and (WV-88) Agency Purchase Order as described in this handbook.
1.11 Violations: The laws that govern the public purchasing process are strict and demand the highest degree of discretion and ethical behavior. The West Virginia Code addresses penalties for violating purchasing procedures:
§5A-3-17: Purchases or contracts violating article void; personal liability
If a spending unit purchases or contracts for commodities contrary to the provisions stated in the Code or the rules and regulations, such purchase or contract shall be void and of no effect. The head of such spending unit shall be personally liable for the costs of such purchase or contract and, if already paid out of state funds, the amount may be recovered in the name of the state in an appropriate action instituted therefore.
§5A-3-29: Penalty for violation of article
Any person who violates a provision of the Code, except where another penalty is prescribed, shall be guilty of a misdemeanor, and, upon conviction thereof, shall be confined in jail not less than ten (10) days nor more than one (1) year, or fined not less than $10 dollars nor more than $500, or both, in the discretion of the court.
§5A-3-30: Obtaining money and property under false pretenses or by fraud from state; penalties
It shall be unlawful for any person to obtain from the state under any contract made under the Code, by false pretense, token or representation, or by delivery of inferior commodities, with intent to defraud, any money, goods or other property, and upon violation thereof, such person shall be guilty of a felony, and, upon conviction thereof, shall be confined in the penitentiary not less than one (1) year nor more than five (5) years, and be fined not exceeding $1,000.
§5A-3-31: Corrupt combinations, collusions or conspiracies prohibited; penalties
It shall be unlawful for any person to corruptly combine, collude or conspire with one (1) or more persons with respect to the purchasing or supplying of commodities or printing to the state under the Code if the purpose or effect is either to lessen competition, or cause the state to pay a higher price, or cause one prospective vendor to be preferred over another.
§5A-3-32: Power of Director to suspend right to bid; notice of suspension
The Director shall have the power and authority to suspend, for a period not to exceed one (1) year, the right and privilege of a vendor to bid on state purchases when the Director has reason to believe that such vendor has violated any of the provisions of the purchasing law or rules and regulations.
§5A-3-33: Review of suspension by Cabinet Secretary
Any vendor whose right to bid on state purchases has been suspended by the Director under the authority of West Virginia Code §5A-3-32, shall have the right to have the Director's action reviewed by the Cabinet Secretary (of the Department of Administration), who shall have the power and authority to set aside such suspension.

El Diablo - A Tiki Adventure on Cinco De Mayo
For my next cocktail out of Beach Bum Berry Remixed I choose the El Diablo. It is one of the few Tiki cocktails that has tequila. With today being Cinco De Mayo it seemed very appropriate.
According to alcademics.com this cocktail was first mentioned in Trader Vic's Book of Food and Drink from 1946. Then in the 1960s The El Diablo was featured on the menu of Trader Vic's Mexican Restaurant Chain, Senor Pico. The recipe was printed throughout the years in may of Trader Vic's books.
What better cocktail to have on Cinco De Mayo than a cocktail from Trader Vic's Mexican restaurant chain? So I combined the fresh lime juice, creme de cassis, tequila, and ginger beer. Next, I stirred the ingredients gently so the carbonation wouldn't be lost, and poured the cocktail into a glass filled with crushed ice. There wasn't very much of an aroma to this cocktail. Just a hint of lime juice. I took my first sip and realized that my bad day was to continue with this cocktail.
My first impression was that it tasted like ketchup. The creme de cassis has a very strong flavor. It make the cocktail sweet and spicy. My best description is ketchup with a hint of mustard spice. My guess is the cassis is meant to cover the flavor of the tequila, because the tequila flavor was very subtle.
I thought this can't be right. So I read the instructions again and made another. To my dismay it tasted the same. I gave the cocktail one last chance and added an extra half ounce of lime juice. This cut he cassis flavor down a bit, but it still was terrible. If you are a fan of creme de cassis I'm sure you'll like an El Diablo, but this is one cocktail that isn't for me. I dumped it out and made myself a Cuba Libre. I guess that is why I call this an adventure. You never know what you are going to get.

The images shown here are the first released of the 2013 Serpentine Pavilion, designed by Japanese architect Sou Fujimoto. Each year the Serpentine Gallery in London's Kensington Gardens invites an architect who has not completed a work in the UK before to design a temporary structure for public use in the park. For the first year, Arup will not be engineers on the project. AECOM will be supplying engineering and technical design services for the 2013 Serpentine Pavilion.
In operation for four months this summer, Fujimoto's pavilion will be a cloud-like structure formed of 20mm steel poles which intersect one another like a gigantic nest. The semi-transparent pavilion will be a delicate latticework through which visitors can view the natural beauty of Kensington Gardens while they sup coffees in the café or engage in social events.
Of his design, Fujimoto explains his concept thus: "For the 2013 Pavilion I propose an architectural landscape: a transparent terrain that encourages people to interact with and explore the site in diverse ways. Within the pastoral context of Kensington Gardens, I envisage the vivid greenery of the surrounding plant life woven together with a constructed geometry. A new form of environment will be created, where the natural and the man-made merge; not solely architectural nor solely natural, but a unique meeting of the two.
"The Pavilion will be a delicate, three-dimensional structure, each unit of which will be composed of fine steel bars. It will form a semi-transparent, irregular ring, simultaneously protecting visitors from the elements while allowing them to remain part of the landscape. The overall footprint will be 350 square metres and the Pavilion will have two entrances. A series of stepped terraces will provide seating areas that will allow the Pavilion to be used as a flexible, multi-purpose social space.
"The delicate quality of the structure, enhanced by its semi-transparency, will create a geometric, cloud-like form, as if it were mist rising from the undulations of the park. From certain vantage points, the Pavilion will appear to merge with the classical structure of the Serpentine Gallery, with visitors suspended in space."
David Glover, AECOM's global chief executive for building engineering, commented: "This is an exciting and challenging opportunity for our team. Sou Fujimoto has designed a very complex structure made up of over 20,000 individual elements & 9,000 nodes compared to the 1,000 to 2,000 found in a typical building.
"This tubular steel frame and the integral poly-carbonate discs and seating elements are designed to work as a single element. As you would expect, the quality of the detailing and fabrication is fundamental part of the Pavilion's design so our work will be on show for everyone to see. While this has certainly generated some pressure, we also look forward to having visitors ask themselves 'How did they manage to achieve that?"
Last year's Serpentine Pavilion was completed by the duo behind the Bird's Nest Stadium in Beijing, Herzog & de Meuron with Ai Weiwei. A cork-based structure, it was subtly lit and topped with a shimmering platform of water which could be drained to create a raised space for dancing and commercial events.
In 2011 Peter Zumthor presented one of the most restrained Serpentine Pavilions yet; a black frame encircling a closed meadow-like garden for quiet contemplation. Click here for more details of past Serpentine Pavilions, including those from Frank Gehry, Zaha Hadid and SANAA.


text: I would like to try PFsense for load balancing web servers, but I spent all day trying to set up a test bed on my LAN and haven't been able to get it to work. http://www.howtoforge.com/how-to-use-pfsense-to-load-balance-your-web-servers I tried setting up a new pfsense box and then setting up the virtual according to the above "how-to". For testing, I would like to set this all up on the LAN. When I do that, the virtual address is never ping-able and I can't connect to the virtual server or failover, even though the status says it is up. So I tried creating a second private network 192.168.2.X and using that as the WAN, and doing that, I was able to ping the virtual ip, but it still would not serve from the web servers no matter what. Is it possible to set up PFsense load balancing for testing all within a single (LAN) subnet, and if so how? TYVMIA

Dead Rising Collection Spotted at Online Retailers
Looks like Xbox 360 owners who haven't yet indulged in the action-RPG antics of Capcom's Dead Rising will soon have a new way to play. The Dead Rising Collection has been spotted on a handful of online retailers.
According to OXM UK, both Amazon and Game have listed The Dead Rising Collection for release this month. Capcom has yet to officially announce anything of the sort, but both retailers seem to have enough information and box art available to indicate this complete set of both Dead Rising games is legit.
Included will be Dead Rising, Dead Rising 2, Dead Rising 2: Off the Record and DLC add-ons, Case Zero and Case West. Right now, the listings claim the collection will retail for £24.99 (~$40). Dead Rising 2 was part of the Games with Gold promotion for a short time, but is no longer free on Xbox Live.
It's a pretty decent bundle, and with the success of Dead Rising 3, it makes sense to re-release all the originals in one place in case new fans want to give them a go. Based on how accurate the online listings are, it's only a matter of time until Capcom makes a more official announcement.
