Shoot Many Robots is a promising side-scrolling shooter, and a title we have been keeping an eye on. The game is scheduled to be released on the 360, PS3, and PC as a digital download, and it was just announced that it will be published by Ubisoft. This is not good news for those of us hoping to play the game on the PC. In fact, I tweeted something along those lines yesterday, which rankled Demiurge Studio's Albert Reed.
"Hey now, we did Mass Effect PC!" he responded. "Pop quiz: what site called it 'the way the game was meant to be played?'" He has us there, and in fact that quote has been on the official site for Demiurge Studios for a number of years. "We'll do it right, or we won't do it. I promise," he said.
Ubisoft seems to be openly antagonistic towards PC gaming these days, with last-minute delays hitting a number of big-name titles, and chokingly bad DRM forcing you to activate the game every time it's launched. The last victim was From Dust, a game that suffered all these issues, not to mention a lazy port. To make matters worse, Ubisoft mislead gamers about the nature of the DRM included with the game. It has now been announced the activation requirement will be patched out of the game, which makes sense: a working crack hit the Internet almost as soon as the game was released.
So here we are, with a game being published by a company with a terrible track record for PC releases, and a developer promising us the PC version will be up to snuff. We'll be sure to check back when the game is released in 2012.

Dr. Sanjay Gupta Explains How to end diabetes (VIDEO)
Hercules is a constellation named after Hercules, the Roman mythological hero adapted from the Greek hero Heracles. Hercules was one of the 48 constellations listed by the 2nd century astronomer Ptolemy, and it remains one of the 88 modern constellations today. It is the fifth largest of the modern constellations. Hercules has no first or second magnitude stars. However, it does have several stars above magnitude 4. Alpha Herculis, traditionally called Rasalgethi, is a binary star resolvable in small amateur telescopes, 400 light-years from Earth. The primary is an irregular variable star; it is a red giant with a minimum magnitude of 4 and a maximum magnitude of 3. It has a diameter of 400 solar diameters. The secondary, which orbits every 3600 years, is a blue-green hued star of magnitude 5.4. Its common name means "the kneeler's head". Beta Herculis, also called Kornephoros, is the brightest star in Hercules. It is a yellow giant of magnitude 2.8, 148 light-years from Earth. Its traditional name means "club-bearer". deltoide 5512 is a double star divisible in small amateur telescopes. The primary is a blue-white star of magnitude 3.1,and is 78 light-years from Earth. The optical companion is of magnitude 8.2. Gamma Herculis is also a double star divisible in small amateur telescopes. The primary is a white giant of magnitude 3.8, 195 light-years from Earth. The optical companion, widely separated, is 10th magnitude. Zeta Herculis is a binary star that is becoming divisible in medium-aperture amateur telescopes, as the components widen to their peak in 2025. The system, 35 light-years from Earth, has a period of 34.5 years. The primary is a yellow-tinged star of magnitude 2.9 and the secondary is an orange star of magnitude 5.7.[1] There are several dimmer variable stars in Hercules. 30 Herculis, also called g Herculis, is a semiregular red giant with a period of 3 months. 361 light-years from Earth, it has a minimum magnitude of 6.3 and a maximum magnitude of 4.3. 68 Herculis, also called u Herculis, is a Beta Lyrae-type eclipsing binary star. 865 light-years from Earth, it has a period of 2 days; its minimum magnitude is 5.4 and its maximum magnitude is 4.7.[1]

Kimmo Ohtonen, a journalist at the Finnish Broadcasting Company YLE, took part in a Finnish charity event called "Red Nose Day" and rode his bike from Rovaniemi at the Arctic Circle to Tampere in the south of Finland. During the five days he managed to raise 72.603 euros for the children in the developing countries.
Kimmo tracked his entire journey with his Suunto Ambit 3 Peak. He even wore the heart rate belt while sleeping and showering.
The entire five-day-ride was tracked as a single file without pausing the recording or recharging the battery. To make this possible Kimmo had optimized his watch settings: he set the GPS accuracy to 'ok' and the recording interval to 60 seconds.

COVID-19 Resources
Energy conservation and the efficient use of resources can increase a facility's productivity and reduce costs. We offer a wide variety of support to operations and maintenance (O&M) and other staff at schools, local and state agencies, and nonprofit agencies.
Our applied building scientists provide technical assistance and recommend practices and procedures to improve IAQ in Northwest schools and other facilities. For information on programs and resources, visit our Indoor Air Quality webpage.
Our team has also provided training and technical support to help Northwest tribes improve IAQ with funding from the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency. For details, see the Tribal Indoor Air Quality website.
The WSU Energy Program manages the Plant Operations Support Consortium, which assists facility managers across the Northwest with meeting their maintenance, custodial, procurement and surplus, leadership training, and technical needs. See our Plant Operations Support Consortium website.
Resource conservation managers (RCM) and resource efficiency managers (REMs) support the energy and resource efficiency programs at public agencies. They work to reduce energy, water, natural gas, fuel oil, and other utility expenditures. We support the creation and successful implementation of RCM and REM programs by providing program and technical support. Visit the Resource Conservation Management website.
Our staff, along with staff from the Oregon and Idaho state energy offices, studied new energy-efficient portable classrooms and a retrofitted classroom (originally built in the 1970s). As a result of these studies and additional computer modeling, project staff developed guidelines for portable classrooms in the Pacific Northwest: Northwest Portable Classroom Project Report, March 2003.

"There is a good spirit of optimism, lots of decision makers at the conference and the best EWEA conference for years for Siemens, with lots of relevant meetings," enthused Jan Kjaersgaard, Siemens Wind Power's new global onshore CEO.
But the important political hot topics of the day were not thoroughly tackled. EWEA set the alarm bells ringing on the European Commission's energy and climate package plans to 2030, but discussion of the issues was largely chopped into one-line statements or five-minute contributions at podium discussions, without a clear picture emerging of what is at stake.
As a case in point, an EWEA-organised business statement for a binding renewables energy target in the 2030 framework urged for a "strong and ambitious regulatory framework for the years to come" and was signed by 151 European companies and associations.
But what an "ambitious" target should be was left unclear. Portuguese secretary of state for energy Artur Trinidade called for a 40% renewable energy target compared with the European Commission's "unambitious 27%", but EWEA itself described 30% as "more ambitious". It was unclear how 3% could make that much difference.
Nor was the potential effect explored of a situation without legally-binding national renewables targets after 2020. Without these, EU member states may no longer have clear grounds for supporting their individual renewables sectors. This could make it harder to have national support mechanisms rubberstamped by the European Commission.
The important European Commission Guidelines on environmental and energy aid for 2014-2020, probably to be adopted on 9 April 2014, could also heavily affect wind energy generation support in Europe, but these were little discussed at the conference.
Another area the conference did not cover in depth was the effect of the current considerable overcapacity in the conventional generation market in Europe, and whether planned and existing capacity markets will affect the wind sector.
Emissions trading
Discussion of what the commission's planned 40% CO2 reduction target to 2030 compared with the 1990 level means for wind was also neglected. The European Commission itself admits that in the aftermath of the severe economic crisis, emissions trading suffers "a structural imbalance between supply and demand, resulting in a 2 billion allowance surplus not needed for compliance".
The effect of so-called "backloading" — taking 900 million tonnes worth of allowances out of the market now and returning them towards the end of this trading period — and the proposed "market stability reserve" mechanism for 2020 to 2030 to stabilise CO2 emissions allowance prices were not discussed. Whether the likely continuing low price of carbon allowances will create the "pull" mechanism for renewables growth, as anticipated by the European Commission, remained an open question.
In future, the driving force may no longer be renewables targets, but instead the indirect effect of air quality concerns and the 2011 industrial emissions directive prompting closure of conventional power plants, combined with state-aid for the environment, suggested Francesco Gazzoletti, EWEA board director and head of international affairs at Italian oil refining and renewables company ERG.
Aside from such regulatory issues and amidst the escalation of the Ukraine-Crimea crisis, several conference speakers highlighted the bigger contribution that wind could make to reducing European fossil fuel imports from politically unstable regions. "The biggest enemy of (Russian gas giant) Gazprom is renewables in Europe," said Paolo Frankl, head of the renewable energy division at the International Energy Agency.
Beyond Europe
From outside Europe, however, the outlook for wind in countries with growing energy markets was optimistic. South Africa was a case in point. "We like to call it a rocket launch with a very long countdown," said Johan van den Burg, CEO of the country's wind association. There is 650MW of wind installations due within five months, another 550MW within 12 months and, beyond that, 500-1,000MW per year for maybe the next 20 years, he said.
Turkey expects to expand from 2.7GW today to 20GW by 2023, according to Hasan Murat Mercan, Turkish deputy minister of energy and natural resources. And Brazil too sees wind capacity growing strongly, to 13.75GW by 2018 compared with 3.5GW in 2013, said Lauro Fiuza, vice president of Brazilian wind energy association Abeeolica. So it seems the emerging markets will help to balance wind's problems in Europe over the coming years.

Firefly Chemistry (Oct, 1937)
Firefly Chemistry
By Raymond B. Wailes
AMONG the most mysterious and beautiful of chemical experimerits are those producing substances that glow in the dark. With the aid of your home laboratory, you can make any number of common household products self-luminous. Coffee, tea, pepper, chili powder, mustard, cocoa, ginger, and many other groceries will produce a really visible light in a dark room, after you have treated them with the proper chemicals. You may even be able to make a flower from your garden emit enough illumination to allow you to read a few letters of print, and you will find that oil of bergamot, an ingredient of inexpensive perfumes, gives an especially strong glow.
All that you will need to produce these strange effects is a little grain or J denatured alcohol, a common alkali such as lye, hydrogen peroxide from the drug store, and one of the newer, "made with electricity" bleaching liquids and laundry whiteners. There are several of these liquids, widely advertised and obtainable at any grocery store. They are solutions of sodium hypochlorite, and you will find that this statement appears on the labels of the bottles.
Suppose you start in by purchasing about an ounce of oil of bergamot at the drug store. Add half a teaspoonful of it to an ounce of grain alcohol, rubbing alcohol, or radiator alcohol. Also dissolve in the liquid several pieces of solid sodium hydroxide (ordinary household lye will do), or potassium hydroxide. Now add about half a teaspoonful or so of drug-store hydrogen peroxide, and a like amount of the sodium hypochlorite solution. Darken the room, or take the mixture into a dark closet.
You will see light streaming from the liquid—"cold" light, soft and heatless like that of the firefly. Usually the mysterious glow is yellowish-green. Chemi-luminescence is the name given to the weird phenomenon.
In experiments with substances other than oil of bergamot, you may need to accustom your eyes to the darkness before performing the experiment, as the light is very faint. However, a strong glow may be obtained from the chili powder which is used in flavoring chili con carne—especially the very hot kind. A single can of chili powder from the grocery store will be enough for innumerable experiments. Steep a little of it in alcohol and add alkali, hydrogen peroxide, and sodium hypochlorite as before. The resulting liquid shines plainly in the dark.
Paprika powder, given the chemical treatment just described, also will glow in a darkened room, as will other spices, condiments, and kitchen staples. You will find it a fascinating pastime to try out a little of everything on the pantry shelf, to see what substance will give the strongest light. Grass, leaves, and flowers also can be used in your experiments if you macerate or grind them with the alcohol to extract the active constituents. Sometimes, in the case of flowers, the alkali will help to extract the glow-producing substance if it is added to the alcohol before soaking the plant. Instead of the liquid clothes whitener, an antiseptic solution found in many home medicine chests, technically known as a modified Carrel-Dakin solution, may be employed as an alternative source of sodium hypochlorite.
Now you will be interested to make the acquaintance of the ideal luminous material—a chemical produced by recent research, capable, under certain conditions, of giving off more cold light than any other substance known. Not only can you read print by its light, but you can even wander about your darkened laboratory by its illumination. Chemists call it "3-aminophthalhydrazide," and it bears the common name of luminol. Many dealers in chemicals can supply it, and sixty cents' worth will provide you with plenty for your experiments. Do not confuse it with luminal, another organic chemical, which is used in sleeping tablets; this is not the material you want.
To perform experiments with luminol, two solutions are made, producing light when they are mixed. One of the accompanying illustrations shows a copy of Popular Science monthly photographed by the light of the resulting mixture alone, using a gallon jug of it. To make enough to fill a vessel of this size, proceed as follows:
For the first solution, dissolve about two tenths of a gram of luminol in about an ounce of water, which has previously been made alkaline with a small piece (about the size of a pea) of sodium hydroxide or potassium hydroxide. Ordinary lye may be used for the alkali. When the luminol has dissolved, add about two quarts of water.
To make the second solution, dissolve half a gram of potassium ferricyanide (also known as red prussiate of potash) in several ounces of water. Then add about an ounce of hydrogen peroxide of drug-store strength (three percent), and dilute with about two quarts of water.
If you do not have facilities for measuring the luminol and the potassium ferricyanide in fractions of a gram, use a piece of each about the size of a pea. A little variation in the proportions used will not matter.
When the first and the second solutions are mixed, bluish-green light streams from them, rivaling the illumination of a ten-watt lamp. The glow lasts for several minutes, slowly dimming as time goes on. To restore its brillance, however, you need only add more potassium ferricyanide or more alkali, either in solid form or in solution. If you use the solid, the resulting glow is extremely intense near the surface, where the concentration of the newly added chemical is greatest. Stir the liquid, and it will swirl about to form beautiful luminous clouds.
To enhance the beauty of the display from luminol, try putting some of the luminous mixture in cut-glass vases, many-faceted vinegar cruets, and ornamental perfume bottles. The vessels will glow in the dark as if afire.
Dip a strip of lace or a piece of an old lace curtain in the mixed liquid, and then hang it up in the dark. The startling result, with every line of the pattern outlined in glowing fire, surpasses description.
For any display of home magic, luminol offers fascinating possibilities. Flowers in a vase, previously sprayed with one of the two solutions, magically light up as if they were burning when sprayed with the other solution in the dark—and will be found whole and unharmed by the mysterious fire when the lights are turned on again. For ar-other effect that is really startling when it is accompanied by a bit of drama in a darkened room, you can wet your hands with one solution and use a cloth moistened with the other one as a towel. (Be sure to wash your hands carefully to remove the chemicals, when you are through.) Weird and fantastic decorations for a magical seance can be made by winding cloth tape around stiff wire bent to represent thunderbolts, serpents, and other symbols, and letting the luminous mixture of the solutions trickle down the cloth.
If you can obtain a glass coil or worm, such as is used in some types of laboratory condensers, you can produce a beautiful spiral column of glowing light—a sort of "witch's lamp"—by allowing the luminol mixture to drip through it. The source of the liquid will be invisible in the dark if you keep the two solutions apart, in a pair of separatory funnels which release them drop by drop, and let them mix just as they enter the glass coil.
A FOUNTAIN of light that will make a gorgeous display of radiance can be constructed from a pair of gallon jugs. Fill one of the jugs with the glowing luminol mixture and let the fluid siphon into the other jug, which is inverted and supported at a lower level. The lower jug is fitted with a two-hole cork carrying a medicine-dropper nozzle, through which the luminous fountain spurts upward within the vessel, and another glass tube for a drain. The height of the resulting fountain depends upon the difference in level between the two jugs. A screw-type pinch clamp on the rubber tubing connecting the jugs will help to regulate the flow and turn the fountain on and off.
For sure-fire results in chemical magic with luminol, use freshly made-up solutions and do not combine them until the moment arrives for your display. It is possible, however, to keep the separate solutions as long as several days, the one containing the hydrogen peroxide being the first to go stale by losing some of its oxygen.
Chemists do not fully understand the strange phenomenon of cold light. Oxygen evidently plays an important part in it, however. Omit the hydrogen peroxide from the mixture of chemicals used in the luminol experiments, and you will get no light.
Suppose you try to supply oxygen in some other way—by blowing your breath, for instance, through a solution containing only luminol, alkali, and potassium ferricyanide. Still you get no glow. Does it take oxygen in the peculiar nascent or active form that hydrogen peroxide liberates, to make luminol glow? You can readily find out. Decomposing water with electric current will also liberate nascent oxygen, and you can show that this will enable you to dispense with the hydrogen peroxide.
FOR this interesting experiment, dissolve a bit of luminol in water that has been made alkaline with a fragment of sodium hydroxide or potassium hydroxide. Also stir in a small crystal of potassium ferricyanide. Then pass a current of electricity through the solution. The source of the electric current may be three dry cells wired in series, or so that the electric circuit passes through each in turn. Connect the positive (center) terminal of the combination to a copper wire bent into the shape of a star, and the negative (outer) terminal to a carbon rod. When the star and the rod are immersed a short distance apart in the liquid, to serve as electrodes, current passes through the solution. Darken the room and you will see the wire star glowing with a soft blue light. Evidently the new-born oxygen liberated at this electrode makes up for the absence of any hydrogen peroxide in the solution. To observe the glow best, arrange the electrodes with the star on the side nearest you, since the action of the electric current gradually darkens the liquid and dims the light.
A mayonnaise jar with the top cut off makes a neat electrolytic cell, or receptacle for treating liquids with electric, current, in experiments like the one just described. You will be surprised to find how cleanly you can remove the tops of these jars with the aid of an easily made electric bottle cutter. It will also cut glass tubing of any diameter larger than half an inch, and bottles of all shapes and sizes. This handy device consists of a length of nichrome wire to which ordinary house current is supplied through a pair of electric heating elements. The latter are connected in parallel.
TO CUT a jar or bottle, file a mark I around the entire circumference where the break is to be made. Then plug the cord of the electric bottle cutter into an outlet, and hold the scratched mark on the glass against the red-hot nichrome wire, turning the jar or bottle constantly. Presently a crack will start. Continue rotating the glass vessel, however, until the crack has traveled all the way around it. Then the halves will fall apart of their own accord, or can easily be drawn apart. Emery cloth or an abrasive stone will smooth and round the sharp edge. By using a large enough loop of nichrome wire, even gallon jugs may be cut in two.
When a dye called fluorescein is used instead of luminol, the fountain-of-light apparatus will yield another spectacular lighting effect. Unlike luminol and other substances that glow of their own accord, fluorescein produces light of its own only when it is illuminated. Dissolve the merest pinch of the dye in water, together with a bit of alkali—say, sodium hydroxide or lye. The liquid glows or fluoresces when light strikes it —particularly ultra-violet light—and the yellow solution turns a queer, bluish color. An argon bulb, obtainable from any dealer in electrical supplies, makes a good source of ultra-violet rays for this purpose. As a matter of fact, an ordinary ten-watt lamp can be used, but the visible light that it gives off will make the effect much less spectacular. If you let the alkaline solution of fluorescein run through your fountain, and suspend the argon lamp just above the lower jug, you will obtain a beautiful display.

Foreign names in English shows and movies always make things sound more evil, enigmatic or exotic! What would Sci Fi be without Zarg or Zod for instance?!!!! We'll probably end up with more Grimm related German words in the show as a result I'm guessing.
I am really liking this series! It looks really promising and I am anxious to see what this show has to offer!!
Saw the first episode yesterday, looks like its going to be a pretty decent series.
Cant wait to see more.
I had DVRed the pilot and watched it last night. I'm on the fence, but I'll definitely watch more. I have to admit that I've sort of ODed on serial killers/horrific murders/child abductions via watching too many episodes of "Criminal Minds", and the first half of the pilot felt very much like that to me.
But the second half was better, the not-so-big-not-so-bad wolf was a nice twist, and the main character and his cop partner were both engaging.
So far I like OUAT better, but that is a very different creature - apart from using fairy tales as source material, they really are completely different shows.
At least there are 2 new shows for me to try out!
Goodbye and Good Travels, Destiny!
Mmmmmm. They were eating Voodoo donuts. Yummy!!!
That would explain why girlfriend isn't in the show much. She's standing in this line waiting for donuts.
Was good to see that not so bad wolf is back. Doing Pilates
I do like this show! The inventive take on 'Goldilocks and the Three Bears' was great! I also like the fact that not all the 'monsters' are evil and that Nick is tasked to "kill the bad ones."
Currie Graham who played 'Papa Bear' was the bad guy in 'The Ark of Truth' who turned into the 'Terminator Replicator'! At least he was one of the good 'monsters' this time round!
Saw the first 20 minutes of Grimm online and was not impressed at all. Couldn't get interested in the characters and it just seemed like another dark sci-fi/fantasy take on the whole crime drama genre. OUAT is a much more fresh take IMO and while yes, we don't know what it is that Emma has to do to stop the curse yet, did we know everything about Lost or Battlestar Galactica from episode 1?
That is just my two cents.
On Emma, I think it is so obvious that nobody considers it. Henry repeated dozens of times that she will bring back the happy endings and I think that is exactly what she needs to do. Like reuniting Gepetto and Pinochio for example, after all her Job is finding People.
Anyway, Episode 2 was average. Seems we are going to learn things at a very slow pace, which i don't like. Cant see this show lasting very long IMO.
OH its a O, Thanks that makes sense now
I Dvrd the first two, and it is ok so far. I hope they give the girlfriend more to do or have her move on, but I liked the wolf with the Pilates.
"Trust me. I'm a psychopath." Jekyll
"And I thought the end of the world couldn't get any worse" Ianto-Torchwood
I wish this was on at another time. Its bad enough to have Fringe and Supernatural on at the same time...and my DVR is maxed at that time.
I also agree that OUAT is more a refreshing storytelling concept to a story we all know. Grimm just seems like the same spin on shows that have been already done over and over again, but I will still watch it. Let's see how long it stays on.
Ok, so I watched the ep about the bears, missed the first two. Might give it a few more look sees. I kept thinking though, is this a cross between Sanctuary and the X-Files? LOL Maybe it's just me.
Good to see Nana Visitor (Kira from Trek's DS9), shame she has such a small part though. Would have liked to find out more about how the 'bee' monsters were invested in looking out for the 'Grimms'.
Definitely not an episode to watch if you don't like bees!!!
Would like to know what Captain Renard is really and why Nick hasn't seen him for what he is yet.
I'm still enjoying this show, Nick is personable and I'm enjoying how he tries to balance his fight against the evil monsters and trying to keep it from his partner as if they are just normal police cases. I'm looking forward to finding out how the whole interaction between the various monsters and the Grimm's place in it all will pan out.
It was quite clever how they translated bee behaviour into a human context. They made their 'hive' in a paper mill, and they communicated with constant 'tweets'. Also the yellow and black motif in the 'drone's' shirt and cell phone, and the queen bee's outfit was a nice touch.

Matt Rogers on AES Energy Storage
You are here
MATTHEW ROGERS: The loan to AES to build an advanced frequency regulation module in the – New York state, provides a wonderful lens on where the electric power industry is going.
AES is going to use A123 batteries – some of the most advanced batteries in the world – to provide a frequency regulation service that today is basically provided by natural gas-fired power plants. So you have the opportunity to provide much tighter frequency regulation using batteries than you did using a power plant, with much lower CO2 emissions. This goes at the core of how does a grid handle the frequency regulation issues that come up when you bring on more variable loads – that is, more renewable coming into the system – and things like plug-in hybrid vehicles, creating variable demand coming off of the system?
In order to maintain the system flowing at a regular – at regular intervals, which all of our power electronics require, we need frequency regulation service. This offers the opportunity to deliver that frequency regulation service at dramatically lower cost and much higher performance levels than currently can happen. And this ability to bring together the most advanced batteries and a new application – these are batteries that can be used in cars and are now being used at grid scale – provides the ability to take that technology and provide new services.
And what we begin to see throughout this is new technologies creating new services, creating the opportunity then for another set of services as we move into the future.

that makes fun of Michael Jackson.
In the skit Michael's nose is ripped off by a kid.
In this South Park episode the room that Michael is in is a Blue Room with the Ark of the Covenant nestled behind him.
I have no idea what the show's creators are trying to say, but this little scene says much to us here at the Sync Whole. First of all, in King Solomon's temple the Ark is supposed to be kept in a Blue Room, otherwise known as the Holy of Holies.
Very much like this Blue room below at the Masonic inspired Manitoba Legislature.
At the Manitoba Legislature, the Ark with its two Cherubim are found hidden in plain view on the outside of the building and just above the Blue Curtain/Veil of the Holy of Holies.
I found it interesting how Michael Jackson and Farah Fawcett died both on the same day. For me the message led me to the ARKangel Michael.
King MichaEl and the Angel Faucet. I have this vision of a big container of water having its plug pop and all the water/spirit flushing out.
Is not that the job of the Archangel Michael. The one closest to God. To lead the spiritual "warfare" and usher in the flood.
Perhaps what I am indebted to Michael Jackson for is that by inspiring this post I began to look into the Ark more. What I learned seemed to be a big piece of the puzzle for me.
The Ark was to be made of wood from the ACACIA TREE.
The Acacia tree just so happend to contain Dimethyltryptomine, or DMT, and one of the main active ingredients in Ayahuasca. Supposedly this tree was smoked and used for its pyschoactive properties.
The Ark is in the plants.
Ingest the plants and build the Ark here on earth.
This is an interesting fact and fits well with Benny Shanon's work on Ayahuasca. One of his conclusions being that Moses must have been high on a plant concoction when he spoke to God and got the commandments. Read the article here.
The Acacia Tree is very important for Freemasonery as well. In this article, on the Symbolism of Masonery, it states that the Acacia tree is symbolic of dying, initiation and immortality of the soul. It is used on the 3rd Degree Masonic tracing Board where it is the it is the marker for the body of the slain master Hiram.
Maestro Flores has often described experiencing Ayahuasca as dying. Just like Masons do. Through Ayahuasca one can learn the meaning of life and death being one.
Perhaps the secret way to die and become one with the Grand Architect of the Universe is to actually ingest the Acacia Tree, or as we would have it now, the Ayahuasca vine.
Thanks Michael.
I also came across this 'Best of' album where we see MJ holding the White Dove. I didn't make the Dove/MJ connection until Jim mentioned the relevance of the Ark in this post:
The album artwork is interesting because we see that the Acacia Tree/Vine/Ayahuasca helps connect us (via the Crown Chakra?) to the rest of the Universe. For more on the Head/Tree relationship check out James Rattes Hangover post.
Also notice above that the Grasshopper (at the top right) resonates with the late David Carradine, another Star who died suddenly and quite unexpectedly. What's with all the Death?
David Carradine and the Grasshopper also resonate with Pinocchio and his Guardian Angel (JC) Jimminy Cricket. Notice the emphasis placed on the Red Spot, the Dove and the Nose in this poster.
The indigenous Shaman uses Sacred Plants like Ayahuasca or Iboga to commune with the Spirits of their deceased ancestors. Although we're unable to commune with the Dead in a physical capacity the Shaman knows that the link, or Rainbow Bridge, to the Otherside has always been inside the Mind. On the cover of 'The Way of the Shaman' (one of the first Shamanic books I ever read) we find the Tree of Life (or Acacia Tree) emerging once again from the head. Is that a White Dove I see flying beneath the name 'Michael'?
As mentioned above the proximity of the events; MJ's Death, Rise of the Fallen, and the Ark's reveal.... Are at the meat of understanding the interconnectedness that has become so obvious as the years draw closer to whatever event emanates in our future.The last few pumps of adrenaline wear off as Optimus Prime steps away from the Pyramids victoriously. My eye went directly to the movement on the Sphinx's Nose.... A bird flutters.
(Jake: Pretty sure that bird was an Eagle or Hawk!)
Micheal Jackson contributes a song to the soundtrack for "E.T." (E = 5, T = 20 thus 25, date of Micheal's death) "Someone in the Dark".
Some believe the Sphinx's nose resembled those of indigenous African ethnicity, being the reason it was defaced. Too vivid a reminder of the awesome power and potent influence of native culture.. perhaps.
"E.T" features the young Drew Barrymore referring to the Cosmic Consciousness symbol as "the man from the moon".
One of her brothers is called Michael.
Drew gifts plant consciousness upon the 'Moon Man' in the classic tearjerker ending.
In 2000/2k's "Charlies Angels" LL (77) Cool J pulls of his Black face to reveal him actually being the White Drew Barrymore.
"Charlies Angels" resonates the death of Farrah Fawcett (on the same day as MJ), this particular scene also echoing Micheal's transformation from Black to White.
Drew, the bad/214 girl of the three angels, falls for bad/214 guy, Sam Rockwell, who plays Zaphod in "Hitchers Guide" where 'The Answer' is 42.
Rockwell Stars in the upcoming "Moon", note the Black and White poster for the film.
Drew, our Bad angle who's family makes first contact in "E.T", does the Moonwalk to "Billie Jean" after kicking some ass in "Charlies Angles"
A cluster f*%$ of syncs that like a Buddha's finger, pointing at the MOON, tells as the eternal NOW is here.
Jim Again:
Perhaps now is the time to bring up that a DOVE is also a PIGEON. One we revere and one we look at with disdain. But they are the same.
The Dove points to the Pigeon.
Pigeon is also the Pig Eon, the Eon of the Pig, when Swine Flew/Flu.
In the Bible the Dove symbolizes the descent of the Holy Spirit. The Pigeon is also famous for being a carrier of messages. Messengers of the Holy Spirit.
In this image below is the famous Lord of the Miracles painting in Peru that is paraded around Lima every October. The painting depicts the Heavenly Father bestowing Dove onto Jesus as he is crucified. This image is also referred to as the Black Christ and is associated with the color purple.
The above film "my sister's keeper" entrains with Micheal Jackson's death as it was released the day after.
The "Charlies Angel" Cameron Diaz appears very susynctly as we have already seen Drew Barrymore in this slice of the sync web.
All these angel wyncs ad to Jim's insight of Michael Jackson as ArkAngel Michael.
"my sister's keeper" was REleased during the same 'weekend run' as "Transformers Revenge of the Fallen" (it being released on 24 July) shown to resonate Micheal's nose via the Sphinx. Stunningly it also resonates Angel as "the Fallen" is clearly alluding to Lucifer, the Fallen Angel.
Both Angel resonating films, "my sister's keeper" via Diaz and "Transformers Revenge of the Fallen (Angel)" hugging both sides of the 25th of June, the death of the ArkAngel MJ.
The element however that originally got me thinking of this poster image as connected to MJ are the bubbles...
Bubbles the chimp, seen in Jeff Koons' famous sculpture, is known because of his association with Michael Jackson.
I turn my head away from the PC at work, the one I'm typing on right now, towards my laptop off to the side, right after posting the above...
Bubbles, my screen saver setting of many months, are bumping around over stills from Charlies Angels.
I have to mention Michael's last name - JACKSON.
Son of Jack.
Jake and myself have increasingly become aware of The relationship between names that start with the letter J and the planet or sphere of consciousness known as Jupiter.
Jack connects to not only Jesus, but also to John the Baptist, and of course Jennifer and Juno.
Now the Jack that piques my interest is the Jack O' Lantern. The carved pumpkin.
Because Jack O' lantern is connected to October 31st, or Halloween/Samhain. The time when the world of the ancestors and our world is closest.
October 31st also just so happens to be the final day of celebration for the Lord of Miracle in Peru.
It is the big day of celebration at Juan Flore's centre Mayantuyacu. An all night party in the jungle with hundreds of people that come from all over the area.
I notice in the movie the Wiz (OZ) in which Michael Jackson plays the Scarecrow, that his nose is made black or missing like with the typical Jack O'Lantern or Sphinx. His Scarecrow look even resonates the real life loss of his own nose that is parodied in the South park episode with the Ark.
Jake, one more time:
MJ is backed by a rainbow on the "Moonwalker" poster.
Rainbows happen when light refracts at an angle of 42 degrees the number of Jupiter/Tin and 'The Answer' to 'Life The Universe and Everything'.
The rainbow again backs Michael Jackson in "The Wiz".
Michael's nose is highlighted by a Reese's Peanut Butter Cup.
In "E.T", right after first contact, Michael remarks: "The G8's Is Open".
Reese's Pieces happens to be "E.T's" favorite candy.
Here he returns the Reese's StarG8 candy - sweets being ever mysteriously present, near and dear to Cosmic Consciousness - placing them upon Elliott's Hulk (Green Man/Osiris) bed spread.
Drew, our Charlies Angel meets E.T for the first time, receiving a glowing Octagonal halo.
At the same time the 2010 (Year We Make Contact) Tiger (Tiger being 2010's animal in Chinese Zodiac) sync wynks hello as a stuffed animal in front of Cosmic Consciousness.
Richard again: Having come back to the post and read all the great additions I want to chime in on the Dove/Pigeon sync. Jim points out that:
The Dove points to the Pigeon.
Pigeon is also the Pig Eon, the Eon of the Pig, when Swine Flew/Flu.
I've been keeping a track of Ewan McGregors career for a while now so I found this PigEON sync very interesting considering he starred as ONE in the movie Valiant:
Notice above that the Plant is emerging from the head of McGregors lead character (a nod to the Acacia/Tree/Head syncs mentioned earlier in this post). We also seem him doing the V/Peace sign and between the letters V and T we find the letters ALIAN (a nod to the ET syncs which Jake pointed out earlier).
Wondering if Ewan McGregor had further connections with Dove/Pigeon/Pig I had a quick search and noticed this article header:
Reading on I noticed that the Dove/PIGeon resonating McGregor chased a Pig around a circus 17 times...
Jake again:
MJ /23's "Scream" video has the exact same title as the Wes Craven film featuring Drew Barrymore.
We saw DB doing the Moonwalk in "Charlies Angels" and interacting with "E.T" just like Mike.
I find this continued strange attraction of Drew Barrymore (DB/42) to Michael Jackson most mysterious and fascinating.
She is the first person to be killed by the iconic 'Ghostface'.
This Halloween mask resonates Michael's distorted face, missing nose and white skin.
Ghostface is inspired by Edvard Munch's "The Scream" painting.
Looks to me like this scene is taking place on Jupiter.
Drew Barrymore. The ONE who collected more berries.
So now that DB is 42 is Jupiter, we can proceed with the revelation that in the film 2001 the astronaut that enters the Jupiter StarG8 is named David Bowman.
Bowman clearly resonating the Archer in the sky that points to Galactic Centre.
Sagittarius is fittingly ruled by Jupiter as well.
Then there is of course their is one the most famous DB/42er, David Bowie aka Ziggy Stardust, once again leading us to the Archer and Jupiter.
Below is MJ in Blue & Gold, framed by Gold and his Jupiter resonating friend DBowie.
On the Halloween trail we can now bring up the forthcoming Rob Zombie film
and Ghostface Jackson resonating H2 (Halloween 2).
H2 is another lead back to the Manitoba Legislature, a hidden temple that looks like a big H from the sky. With Hermes on top it is an H on an H. When one starts putting H's on top of each other they become more like a ladder or film stock. Twist them and then they are DNA.
HH/88 = The G8 way to infinity that is within us all.
We find another reference to the late King of Pop (KOP? - Boy in Blue?) in the movie Lucky You. We've see that the letters JK entraining with Michael JacK-Sun and The Scarecrow (JK O'Lantern): I found an interesting link between Drew Barrymore and the Nose thanks to a TV show she starred in called BOGIE (aka Booger):
Richard: While pondering the Drew Barrymore (DB/42) and Michael Jackson (MJ/23) connection I recalled that DB had starred in BAD (214) Girls:
In the same year DB (42) starred as MJ (23) in Altered States.
We also find DB in 'The Blue Issue' highlighting the letters LL. Notice that the 'The Best Jeans' (or Genes?) are mentioned down at the bottom left:

Moral clarity is needed
Buttermilk Man
Classic Liberal
We reconvened this afternoon over lunch. More of the siblings and more of their friends. The girls a bit angry and venomous, but temperatures ameliorated with home made breads and lemonade. When told I had neanderthal attitudes, I replied, "no Denisovan." Brought some laughs to the table after some searching with their smart phones. I reiterated the original theme, technology has changed the roles for women. One of the girls immediately said, "and the same for men." I then asked
During this morning's breakfast with some of the teen grandchildren and their friends we started a dialog about the women's rights movements emanating from America's relative easy acceptance of new technology, from Fulton's steamboat technology onwards, but more inclusive small and large technological leaps in the kitchen and washroom. New gadgets that made kitchen work easier, more efficient, less laborious, and the same for washing clothing and cleaning the house, labor mostly relegated to women.

In The Studio with Redbeard
Grand Funk Railroad
Closer To Home
An interview with Mark Farner mixed with the music and insites into one of my favorite all time albums. Enjoy
In the Studio with Redbeard is a North American radio program, produced and hosted by Dallas, Texas based rock and roll disc jockey Redbeard.
The show is a weekly hour-long "rockumentary" interview with music program which looks at the making of many of the greatest albums recorded in rock and roll history, although sometimes it would spotlight the history of rock and roll bands. Redbeard interviews the musicians who created these classic albums.
The show first went on the air nationally the week of June 26, 1988, initially broadcast by sixty rock stations including WXRK/New York, KLOS/Los Angeles, WLUP/Chicago, WMMR/Philadelphia, KTXQ/Dallas, WHJY/Providence, WRIF/Detroit, KRQR/San Francisco, WKLS/Atlanta and distributed by The Album Network through 1999,which grew the network to 180 stations. "In the Studio" is now in its 19th year, distributed by Radio K & G of New York City.

A month is already passed by since the last Daring Baking (remember the sad macarons? ) and it is again time for a new challenge.This time Lisa Michele of Parsley, Sage, Desserts and Line Drives spared us from using our ovens announcing the challenge with "Sorry all, we're not baking this month…" at which point the eyebrows of many of us shot up (while others probably exhaled a sigh of relief). No worries, we will not have a month without challenge! The point was that this time we had to prepare a fried dessert: cannoli.
I was again very excited while reading the announcement.
A very crispy, at the limit of toughness, cylindrical shell filled with a sweet ricotta cream spiced with cinnamon and sometimes complemented with some bittersweet chocolate bits. The sides, cut on a bias, are decorated with toasted nuts (either almonds or pistachios) or, in some cities, with candied fruits (usually a cherry and a sliver of orange peel).

Quote from: Muzer on 01/Feb/2012 10:10:53 PMBecause I believe kate moves the old file to RETRODE.CFG~ (and will report a warning if this fails)If that's the case, the Retrode won't recognize it. The new file has to be written to the very same sector on the device. Whenever most programs rename a file, they only change the directory entry but the renamed file still points to the old storage location. Writing a new file, even with the original name, then redirects the new data to somewhere else.

Apple Posts Fix for Mountain Lion Update That Caused Webcam Problems
Apple is releasing a software patch on Thursday designed to fix a problem with the latest Mac OS X update that caused the built-in camera in some recent Mac Book Air laptops to no longer function properly.
The "supplemental update" to Mac OS X 10.8.5, which is going out today, is designed to fix several issues, including the one that caused the FaceTime+ camera on the latest Mac Book Airs to stop working with many popular applications.
It also aims to solve a problem that caused some external drives to be ejected when a Mac went to sleep as well as separate Bluetooth and HDMI audio issues.
Until the patch, Apple had been recommending those with the latest Mac Book Air computers not to update and suggested that those who had should temporarily use an external camera.


text: Cee Lo Green has opened up about his departure from NBC's "The Voice" singing competition. "It easily and quickly became a job," Green said during an interview with Us Weekly about his role as a coach on the series. "Very, very obligating... Taxing and tiring... I still tip my hat to Adam and Blake and those guys who continuously do it, but I think I ran my course there just naturally." The rapper went on to say that he left the show "amicably" and with good memories. "It really has everything to do with me having the leverage to go elsewhere and be a success as well," he continued. Green later revealed it was fellow coach Adam Levine who approached him about joining the show in April 2011. "He called and said, 'Hey man, there's this new show 'The Voice' and I don't really know what it's going to be about, and I don't really want to do any more kind of music shows -- do you think it's cool? If you do it, I'll do it. If you don't do it, I won't do it,'" Green explained. "And I was like, 'Well, just judging from the premise, the blind auditions' -- It's something that everybody agrees is just really original. It had a great new spin." Green announced his official departure from "The Voice" in February after serving as a coach on Seasons 1, 2, 3, and 5. The upcoming seventh season of the show will feature original mentors Levine and Blake Shelton and newcomers Pharrell Williams and Gwen Stefani.

Pages: 1
I've just recently downloaded and begun to install XFCE4.4 using the graphical installer on two of my systems. One is running slackware 11, and is an old laptop, a IBM T22. This runs the 32-bit version of Slackware 11, and XFCE4.4 was quite easy to install -- no problems there .
However on the other machine I have, which is an X86-64 (64 bit, http://www.slamd64.com/ ) system it's a lot harder. This system is running a 64-bit version of slackware called "slamd64", and most of the packages such as dbus, dbus-glib, linux-PAM, PolicyKit, hal, vte etc. aren't avaliable as packages (so I've been trying to compile them from source). However I've gotten stuck at just one thing - resolving a missing dependency "SM", I just can't seem to get out of the empasse!
I've tried downloading xproto, libICE and xtrans and managed to compile libSM but to no avail, the installer still won't let me proceed to the next stage -- I'm stuck on "system requirements".
After a lot of googling I read there was a libsm-devel or sm-devel file/package, but I could not find a slackware package, nor just plain source (only the source to libSM). All I could find is lots of RPM files x.x . I found that library, libSM here ( http://ftp.x.org/pub/individual/lib/ ) btw. I found a lot of the software could be found on freedesktop.org .
I also tried compiling and having the file libSM.so.6.0 in both /usr/lib and /usr/lib64 but no luck x.x
The slackware x11-devel-6.9.0-x86_64-8.tgz is also definately installed.
Can anyone see what I'm doing wrong (or maybe there are packages ..... http://www.linuxpackages.net/ dosen't have the ones I need for x86_64).
Thanks for any help
Possibly solved -- I did (for the libSM sources) ./configure --prefix=/usr/X11R6, and discovered a line while compiling that needed to be run manually - libtool --finish /usr/lib64
Still no luck though. :-(
I have managed to get XFCE4.4 to compile well .... sort of, it runs but I don't know if it is really running properly. In particular I haven't gotten HAL, DBus and other bits and pieces to work really. From what I can make out, XFCE4.4 on slamd64 needs the folllowing dependenices;
* hal, vte, libsm, libice, xproto, dbus, dbus-glib, linux-pam, policykit . ( libice & xproto are needed to make libsm).
Compiling (I'm doing this all largely from source, less XFCE's graphical installer) and setting these up is a total nightmare and I have not been able to work out how to do this, at least not in the proper order and get everything set up 100%. I was wondering if anyone had managed to do this, unfortunatly there aren't any 64-bit packages of the above. There are 32-bit packages, but I get a feeling XFCE is going to get tangled up as it finds one thing is 64-bit, but another 32 bit and I'm guessing that won't work at all. (NB, some 32-bit packages can be found at http://www.linuxpackages.net/ ).
I've managed to find out/try the following as I've been trying to do all of this:
1) use ./configure --prefix=/usr --libdir=/usr/lib64 for most of the configuration scripts.
2) http://cblfs.cross-lfs.org/index.php/PolicyKit says how to compile policykit, but it didn't work :-(- I had to use the option "--disable-docbook-docs" - this seemed to work in the sense that it stopped most errors, but is this the right way to do things?
3) I had to copy dbus from /usr/include/dbus-1.0/dbus to /usr/include/dbus . XFCE's installer wouldn't find it otherwise.
4) For libSM after compiling libice and xproto, I had to do a "libtool --finish /usr/lib64". If not XFCE's graphical installer just won't let you get past the "SM" dependency.
5) To add HAL group and user (haldaemon) do
groupadd haldaemon
useradd -g haldaemon haldaemon .
I did the same thing for "polekit" too.
6) On my system I have XFCE4 running - just (debatable over how well it really is running!), but stuff like HAL isn't working. I read in another thread that the command "hald --daemon=no --verbose=yes" can give some help on HAL problems, and looking through there is a problem in mine which goes something like this;
arguments to dbus_error_is_set() were incorrect, assertion "error !=NULL" failed in file dbus-errors. c .
And I found another one;
Glib-CRITICAL **:g_hash_table_lookup_extended: assertion 'hash_table !=NULL' failed .
Wish I knew if the options such as --prefix=/usr --libdir=/usr/lib64 and the order I'm doing things in was correct!.
:? Really confused !
*thinks ..... :?
Right now I've cleared off my slamd 11 install, and tried again. Now this time I seem to have gotten a little bit further - I've been using instructions from this ( http://cblfs.cross-lfs.org/index.php/Main_Page ) site. I know that's not really the "right" site to use, but most stuff has worked so far. Though I must admit I am still not sure on weather libraries need to go into /usr/lib or /usr/lib64 or even /usr/local/lib .... :?
Right now my biggest problem is on this ( http://cblfs.cross-lfs.org/index.php/PolicyKit ) page. I can do most of this but there are 3 scripts on that page, one "bootscript", a script to link into runlevels and a privilages script. That last one - the privilage script works but the first two don't because if I remember correctly, slackware does its business in /etc/rc.d in a slightly different way to other distros. For example there is no /etc/rc.d/init.d in slackware. So I can't quite use those scripts, I'm not sure what to change them to.
AH I think I might have it now! You see, I have a laptop here - it is an old IBM T22 running normal 32-bit slackware 11. It is running xfce4 & HAL,etc ok. Well, I pinched the message bus init files from it, which I found in
I zipped these up, and unzipped them to the same (/etc/dbus-1) on the PC with slamd64, and it seems to have worked, even without those scripts I mentioned. I also pinched /etc/rc.d/rc.messagebus and rc.hal too.
Now if this really is all working, I need to write this all up properly.
Compiling (I'm doing this all largely from source, less XFCE's graphical installer) and setting these up is a total nightmare and I have not been able to work out how to do this, at least not in the proper order and get everything set up 100%. I was wondering if anyone had managed to do this, unfortunatly there aren't any 64-bit packages of the above. There are 32-bit packages, but I get a feeling XFCE is going to get tangled up as it finds one thing is 64-bit, but another 32 bit and I'm guessing that won't work at all.
Hehe, GNOME is alot more fun! XFCE just builds; no patches, no seds to put things where they need to go. It's a testament to the XFCE developers. Yes, XFCE-4.4 will build and install on a Pure64-bit or multilib platform. You are correct, you can't mix 32-bit and 64-bit libraries.
1) use ./configure --prefix=/usr --libdir=/usr/lib64 for most of the configuration scripts.
Depending on Slamd64's layout, this may or may not be correct. If Slamd64 is a multilib distro (it sounds like it is) and Slamd64 follows the FHS in this respect, then 64-bit libraries should go in /lib64, /usr/lib64, etc. If you're using the instructions from http://cblfs.cross-lfs.org/index.php/Main_Page, be careful about things like
mv -v /usr/bin/FOO{,-64} &&
ln -sfv /usr/bin/multiarch_wrapper /usr/bin/FOO
USE_ARCH=64 ./configure
since you won't have the multiarch_wrapper program. You also won't have the env variables BUILD64 and PKG_CONFIG_PATH64 set.
2) http://cblfs.cross-lfs.org/index.php/PolicyKit says how to compile policykit, but it didn't work :-(- I had to use the option "--disable-docbook-docs" - this seemed to work in the sense that it stopped most errors, but is this the right way to do things?
Hmmm, I'm using an older version of PolicyKit than what would currently be checked out and the CBLFS instructions work as written. All you did was disable building the documentation because you don't have docbook-utils installed (I guess). Typically, disable would be default and you would pass --enable-docbook-docs.

Intresting thanks for that I must read up on all of that. However it appears my earlier enthusiasm was a little misplaced I have XFCE4.4 running, and for some strange reason it will mount a USB memory stick, but not the cdrom drives. Half the problem is that I have no idea on how to configure up stuff like dbus, hal, policykit, etc x.x . Also things seem a bit mixed up with regards to cdrom drives - sometimes the icon for the cdrom drive will be there if I leave a cd in the drive, but apon ejecting it won't go away and won't mount again.
You're right about the docbook stuff but I now have this fixed (in the sense it compiles ok)v it's just the HAL/DBus/Policyscript stuff I have no idea about.

Nokia has bundled its Navteq Maps purchase – since rebranded as Ovi Maps – for free for some time. Now it offers free turn-by-turn Navigation for drivers and pedestrians. It's still much harder to use than Google's Maps, which began the rush to offer free directions, but Nokia's offering caches the maps offline, and shows street numbers. Google's shows bus stops, however - and the killer integration of Street View into the Maps application itself. For all the fuss around Ovi, downloading Google Maps is one of the first things people will do with an X6.
Storing up trouble? The unit doesn't default to store data on the 32GB drive
This review is a tale of two devices, and the performance couldn't be more different. They were both X6 phones, both had identical firmware, and the only difference was the amount of free space on the C:\ drive, namely a small partition separate from the whopping 32GB flash drive, largely devoted to system files. You may wonder why, 30 years after Bill Gates made MS-DOS bug compatible with CP/M, any device should have a 'C:\' drive. Let's put that to one side. The issue is why encumber the user with having to deal with two partitions? It could be completely transparent.
The first X6 that Nokia sent was very flakey, so much so that it couldn't adequately multitask. Trying to activate the camera when music was playing, and the phone flashed up the terrifying message: 'Deleting some items from memory' – imagine how that goes down with a new or nervous user – before dumping you out of both Music Player and Camera. The device had around 45MB left on C:\. The replacement X6, otherwise identical in every way, had 250MB free on C:\, and exhibited no such problems. Multitasking was much smoother.
The problem is that C:\ is the default for so much data: incoming files, downloads, mail attachments - they all fill up the tiny C:\ partition first, unless you manually intervene. So without a lot of TLC, phone number two is destined behave like phone number one in time.
Nokia ships an above-par WD-500 wired headset with the phone, which gives you track forward and back functionality. Which is just as well, as you need to unlock the phone to do this using the screen - a mind-boggling decision. As for the Player, it's changed little since the serviceable S60 3rd edition music client familiar to millions, seen on the N73 and N95 8GB Music Editions. There's no 'Now Playing' option, however, you may return to the home screen where the track, but not the artist, is displayed in a fairly small font.
Ovi Player stalled, maxing out the CPU at 100 per cent, performing a simple transfer
To take full advantage of Comes With Music, you're required to instal the Ovi Player. Nokia also smuggles in something called Ovi Suite, which is the already-notorious replacement for the Nokia PC Suite software.

Here's the article. (H/T Neil Simpson)
On one of the Galápagos islands whose finches shaped the theories of a young Charles Darwin, biologists have witnessed that elusive moment when a single species splits in two.
Well, that would be very interesting… if it were true. But whenever I've heard these finches mentioned, it turns out that what actually happened is that populations of different kinds of finches increase and decrease in response to changing environmental conditions. No finch's beak actually changes size! Some finches with beaks more adapted to the environmental conditions survive and leave more offspring than other finches who are not as adapted. When conditions change, the changes in populations reverse themselves and return to equilibrium.
The deeper problem with the Wired Science report is not its perpetuation of the legend of Darwin's finches, but its false claim that biologists have now "witnessed that elusive moment when a single species splits in two." This is not what Peter and Rosemary Grant reported in their scientific article in the Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences. 6
According to the Grants, in 1981 they found an unusually large male medium ground finch (scientific name: G. fortis) on the island of Daphne Major that they labeled 5110. They inferred that it had probably immigrated from the nearby island of Santa Cruz—though they could not be certain. For 28 years, the Grants followed all known descendants of this presumed immigrant, and genetic analysis suggested that after 2002 the descendants of 5110 bred only with each other (and were thus "endogamous"). The inbred group had a distinctive song that may have contributed to its reproductive isolation from other medium ground finches that were in the same area ("sympatric").
But the Grants did not go so far as to label the inbred descendants a new species. "We treat the endogamous group as an incipient species because it has been reproductively isolated from sympatric G. fortis for three generations and possibly longer." But an "incipient species" is not the same as a new species. In The Origin of Species, Darwin wrote: "According to my view, varieties are species in the process of formation, or are, as I have called them, incipient species." 7 But how can we possibly know whether two varieties (or races) are in the process of becoming separate species? Saint Bernards and Chihuahuas are two varieties that cannot interbreed naturally. The Ainu people of northern Japan and the !Kung of southern Africa are separated not only geographically, linguistically, and culturally, but also (for all practical purposes) reproductively. Are dog breeds and human races therefore "incipient species?"
There's no way we can know, unless we observe varieties becoming separate species at a future date. Designating two reproductively isolated populations "incipient species" is nothing more than a prediction that speciation will eventually occur. It is a far cry from observing the origin of a new species.

How To Take Care of Your Feet
Look at your feet every day. Make sure there are no cuts or red areas. Use a mirror to see the bottom of your feet.
- Don't soak your feet. Wash them well with mild soap and water every day. Dry them very well, including between the toes.
- Don't go barefoot.
- Wear shoes that fit well.
- Buy socks designed to keep your feet comfortable (padded, minimal seams, not too tight).
- Use lotion on your feet, but not between the toes.
- Do not cut your toenails. File them instead, or have them trimmed by a foot doctor.
- If you have poor circulation, nerve damage, or very thick toenails, see a foot doctor regularly. Also see a foot doctor if you have corns, calluses, or bunions.
- If you get a cut or scratch, take care of it right away. Wash it with mild soap and warm water. Use a mild ointment. Cover with gauze and paper tape or a fabric bandage. Make sure to change this often.
- Call your healthcare provider right away if the area does not heal or gets red or has any drainage.

With its Aug. 6 release just a few weeks away, the first five minutes of "The Disappearance of Alice Creed" have appeared online in an effort to boost the film's profile.
We loved the movie when we caught at the Tribeca Film Festival, hailing it as a "taut, well-crafted three-person drama about a wealthy young woman held for ransom."
Part of what makes the opening -- and the rest of the film -- so great is writer-director J Blakeson (who talked to PopcornBiz this spring about how his film) throwing his audience into the action, wasting no time with unnecessary expostional dialogue. It quickly becomes clear that something bad is going to happen, what exactly is then slowly revealed.
U.S. & World
The movie stars Gemma Arterton (who's had a rough summer thus far between "Prince of Persia" and "Clash of the Titans"), Martin Compston ("The Damned United") and Eddie Marsan (who you've seen in a dozen movies, most recently "Sherlock Holmes").

Sit the cake on a large board or flat serving plate. Brush a little of the jam over the cake. Dust a clean surface with a little icing sugar, then roll out the marzipan until big enough to cover the cake (use string to help you measure). Carefully lift the marzipan onto the cake, pat down to cover smoothly and trim any excess off the bottom. Brush all over again with more jam.
Knead 1kg white icing until smooth, then roll out on an icing sugar-dusted surface until a little bigger than the marzipan size. Carefully lift onto the cake, partially pat down the sides to smooth and stick, allow the rest to stick in folds, or tease into shape with your fingers (step A). Trim any ragged edges.
For the robins, roll 3 walnut-size balls from some of the remaining white icing. Halve the icing that is left. Knead brown colouring into 1 half to give a rich colour, wrap well – this will be the branch. Divide the other half into 3 pieces, and colour 1 red, 1 pale brown and 1 green.
Re-dust the work surface, pinch off 3 marble-size balls of red icing and roll each into a teardrop shape for the breast. Use a cocktail stick to add texture, then stick 1 onto each robin – brush a little water onto the icing to help it stick. As you stick it, flatten the base of the ball slightly so that the robins stand up.
Divide the pale brown icing into 3 balls and roll each into an oval shape, then pinch 1 end of each into a gentle point (step B). Stick onto the robins so that the point is the head, and trim the tail if you need to. Poke a clove into each brown tip to make a little beak. Pull the round bit off the end of 6 cloves to leave spiky ends, and poke into robins to make feet. Use black writing icing to add eyes (step C).
Roll most of the dark brown icing into a long branch and attach to the cake with a little more water or jam. Roll smaller branches from the remaining dark brown icing. Pinch leaves from the green icing and attach. Add the robins and enjoy.

|Scene from Hugo, Paramount Pictures
I first posted this story 2 years ago. I've just returned from seeing Martin Scorsese's Hugo and I hadn't realized that the film was so closely tied with the story of the real Georges Méliès. Here's a synopsis of Méliès life. Please enjoy the accompanying films.
Méliès was an illusionist by trade. Before making films he was a stage magician at the Theatre Robert-Houdin (how wonderful).
In 1895, after seeing a demonstration of the Lumière brothers' camera, he became interested in film. Two years later he established his own studio.
From his rooftop property in Montreuil, Méliès directed 531 films ranging from 1 minute in length to 40 minutes. These early films are similar to the magic tricks that Méliès had been performing on stage featuring disappearing objects or people. Despite this, Georges Méliès revolutionized early cinema. Although many of Méliès's early films were devoid of plot, his special effects and storyboards became fundamental aspects of filmmaking. His films were even pirated!
He wrote, directed and acted in nearly all of his films. His most widely-known film is 1902's A Trip to the Moon (Le voyage dans la Lune) includes the celebrated scene mentioned above in which the rocket-ship hits the Man in the Moon.
However, Méliès, the poor guy, could not compete with the larger studios like Pathé (who eventually bought him out) and he spent his last years selling toys in a boutique in Paris's Montparnasse train station.
Méliès did not grasp the value of his films, and he allowed most of his film stock to be melted down into boot heels during World War I. Many of his films were recycled into new film and as a result much of his legacy does not exist today. Luckily, a copy of Méliès's 1899 short film Cleopatra, believed to be lost, was discovered in Paris in 2005.
The importance of his work was recognized in the years prior to his death. In 1932 the Cinema Society gave Méliès a home in Château d'Orly where he died in 1938.
Please enjoy these Méliès videos found on Youtube.

Aug. 19, 2010 -- As the nationwide egg recall expands, the FDA has activated its emergency command center to direct its "extensive" investigation.
So far, some 380 million eggs have been recalled -- a number that is "evolving," Sherri McGarry, emergency coordinator for the FDA's Center for Food Safety and Applied Nutrition, said today at a joint FDA/CDC news teleconference.
"We would certainly characterize this as one of the largest shell egg recalls in recent history," McGarry said.
Through July 17, the CDC has received some 2,000 reports of illness due to Salmonella Enteritidis, the bacteria causing the outbreak. That's nearly three times more salmonella illness than is usually seen in late summer, says Christopher R. Braden, MD, acting director of the CDC division responsible for food-borne illness.
"I think we will see more illnesses reported," Braden said at the teleconference.
And reported illnesses represent only a fraction of true infections. In 2004 , the CDC estimated that there were 193,463 Salmonella Enteritidis illnesses with 2,004 hospitalizations and 60 deaths.
This strain of salmonella is extremely common. It accounts for about a fifth of all salmonella infections. In 2000 there were 50 outbreaks, but since 2002 there have been 26 to 35 outbreaks a year.
Shell eggs are by far the most common source of Salmonella Enteritidis illness in the U.S. Of the 47 billion shell eggs Americans eat as table eggs each year, the USDA estimates that 2.3 million are contaminated with this salmonella strain.
The FDA investigation is centered on five plants operated by the Iowa firm Wright County Egg. The firm distributes the eggs nationwide. Eggs included in the recall include a number of prominent brands. Those brands are listed below, but some of the eggs may have been repackaged and sold under different brand names.
The Wright County Egg recall includes eggs in six-, 12-, and 18-egg cartons. The cartons carry a "Julian date" referring to the day of the year and a plant number. Dates and codes can be found stamped on the end of the egg carton or printed on the case label. The plant number begins with the letter P and then the number. The Julian date follows the plant number, for example: P-1720 223.
The Aug. 18 recall includes eggs with Julian dates ranging from 136 to 229 and plant numbers 1720 and 1942. They were sold under the brand names:
- Albertson
- Boomsma's
- Farm Fresh
- Glenview
- James Farms
- Kemps
- Lund
- Mountain Dairy
- Pacific Coast
- Ralph's
The Aug. 13 recall includes eggs with Julian dates ranging from 136 to 225 and plant numbers 1026, 1413, and 1946. They were sold under the brand names:
- Albertson
- Boomsma's
- Dutch Farms
- Farm Fresh
- Hillandale
- Kemps
- Lucerne
- Lund
- Mountain Dairy
- Ralph's
- Shoreland
- Sunshine
- Trafficanda
Dutch Farms says that it does not distribute eggs from Wright County Eggs, but that some of its packaging was mistakenly used to pack eggs distributed only to Walgreen's stores in Iowa, Minnesota, Kansas, Nebraska, Missouri, South Dakota, and Arkansas. The FDA is investigating this claim.
Ironically, the FDA's new egg safety rule went into effect on July 9, just after the Wright Egg contamination was discovered. That rule, if followed, might well have averted or lessened the extent of the current outbreak, Braden and McGarry said.
How to Avoid Food Poisoning From Eggs
This salmonella outbreak comes from eggs of salmonella-infected hens that carry the bacteria in their ovaries and pass it to eggs as they are being formed.
Eggs that appear to be fresh and normal may actually harbor salmonella.
If you like your eggs prepared over easy, you may want to change your egg-eating habits. Here's the CDC's advice on how to avoid food poisoning from eggs:
- Don't eat recalled eggs or products containing recalled eggs. Recalled eggs might still be in grocery stores, restaurants, and homes. People who have recalled eggs should discard them or return them to their retailer for a refund.
- People who think they might have become ill from eating recalled eggs should consult their health care providers.
- Keep eggs refrigerated at least to 45 degrees F at all times.
- Discard cracked or dirty eggs.
- Wash hands, cooking utensils, and food preparation surfaces with soap and water after contact with raw eggs.
- Eggs should be cooked until both the white and the yolk are firm and eaten promptly after cooking.
- Do not keep eggs warm or at room temperature for more than two hours.
- Refrigerate unused or leftover egg-containing foods promptly.
- Don't eat raw eggs.
- Avoid restaurant dishes made with raw or undercooked, unpasteurized eggs. Restaurants should use pasteurized eggs in any recipe (such as Hollandaise sauce or Caesar salad dressing) that calls for raw eggs.
- Consumption of raw or undercooked eggs should be avoided, especially by young children, elderly people, and people with weakened immune systems or debilitating illness.
