I must say that Sabayon Linux development has been coming along very nicely through the years. I've been following it since it's conception, and I was even a beta tester before it was even called Sabayon
Some of you may know me for my b!tching of all the bugs through the years, and some of you may remember how I used to hang out in #sabayon and help people before it moved to freenode.
In short, I've been a Gentoo user since 2004. My original attraction to Gentoo was the idea of building things with, a my own two hands, so to speak. As a result, I refused to use anything that I didn't build myself. But I always liked a lot of the stuff Sabayon did, (and thus, borrowed many ideas from it for my own installs)
But, as life goes on, I don't have time to build and maintain a Gentoo install anymore. (it can be a lot of work), so I threw Sabayon 5.2 on my laptop and I am amazed how well it's running out of the box. (and I love Entropy/Equo/Sulfur) It still could use a lot of work, and I could go on and on about bugs, but I won't
Anyways, I finally got rid of my "Gentoo purist" ego. I realize in the end it doesn't matter whether I'm using a *pure* Gentoo install or not. A install as nice as Sabayon would have taken me 3-4 weeks to build, (and probably longer to make it actually functional!)
As a result, I am enjoying Sabayon for what it is - A really nice "out of the box" Gentoo Experience with a lot of extras and a great community, so I thank the Sabayon team for all their hard work so lazy people like me can enjoy it
Edit: Actually, Sabayon has become much more than just a fork of Gentoo. I should give it more credit

Southwest Rural Electric Cooperative will provide two area high school juniors with the trip to Washington, D.C. this summer. Top prize in SWRE's annual Youth Tour Contest for one Oklahoma student and one Texas student will be an all-expense-paid trip to the nation's capital for a close-up look at our nation's government in action.
Eight contest finalists will receive a cash prize of $250.
The contest is open to all 11th grade students who attend a high school or reside in the SWRE service area. Eligibility is not limited to students whose families purchase electricity from SWRE. Any student may enter.
Oklahoma schools in the SWRE service area are Altus, Blair, Davidson, Frederick, Navajo, Snyder, and Tipton.
In Texas, SWRE area schools include Chillicothe, Crowell, Electra, Harrold, Northside, and Vernon.
To enter the contest, 11th grade students must write a 500-750 word essay on a specified topic that relates to the importance of electricity in rural America. Essays must be received at the SWRE office in Tipton, Oklahoma, by Wednesday, February 13.
Based on the essays, eight finalists will be selected. The eight students will be invited to SWRE's Tipton headquarters in late March to meet with contest judges and present the information from their essays. At that time winners of the Washington, D.C. trips will be named and cash prizes will be awarded to the finalists.
The winning Texas student and Oklahoma student will travel to Washington, D.C. in mid-June 2013 with state delegations of youth tour winners. In the nation's capital they will tour the U.S. Capitol, meet with elected officials, and visit important monuments and locations, including the White House and Mount Vernon.
Complete information resource packets for entering the contest have been provided to schools throughout the SWRE service area.
The contest entry packets may also be downloaded in PDF format from the SWRE web site (www.swre.com), or obtained by calling Southwest Rural Electric at 1-800-256-7973.
"Service to the youth of our area has been a Southwest Rural Electric tradition since the cooperative was established in 1937," said Mike Hagy, SWRE CEO. "Since 1964 our cooperative has sponsored the annual youth tour contest and sent two students each year to our nation's capital. For many of those young people, the trip has been an incredibly positive, life-changing experience. I encourage all 11th grade students in area schools to participate in the 2013 contest. Their reward may be great."
In addition to the Youth Tour Contest for 11th grade students, SWRE also sponsors an Energy Essay Contest for 8th grade students. Information about the 8th grade contest has been sent to schools. It is also available at the SWRE website or by calling SWRE at 1-800-256-7973.

The history of wine in the Livermore Valley spans 250 years. Spanish missionaries planted the region's first grapes in the 18th century, and Robert Livermore sowed the first commercial vines in the mid-19th. These early efforts led to America's first international gold medal for wine at the 1889 Paris Exposition, when California grapes beat out bordeaux in the annual race to the top of the Eiffel Tower.
The guides at Livermore Valley Wine & Cycle Tours lead cyclists into this historic, scenic valley in which some 40 wineries currently reside. Rides between them follow moderate routes, letting peddlers soak in views of the canyons and ridges that rise and fall between the clustered rows of vines.

RAEFORD — A 16-year-old boy was shot to death by a Hoke County business owner Friday during an attempted robbery, authorities said.
The teenager was identified as David Ryan Frame of 701 N. Main St., who was one of four people who tried to rob the All American Mattress and Furniture store, Sheriff Hubert Peterkin said Monday.
Two other people turned themselves in at the Hoke County Sheriff's Office on Monday, Peterkin said. They were identified as Lewis Vega, who is 21, and Amie Lynette Ross, who is 27.
The business owner is not being identified for safety reasons and will not be charged, Peterkin said.
"We can't find a reason to charge him," Peterkin said. "The investigation shows he didn't do anything wrong."
The business on Monday offered "no comment" on the shooting.
The owner was closing the store about 8:30 p.m. when four people wearing masks approached the business, Peterkin said. Three of them came into the business, Peterkin said. One, identified as Frame, had a rifle while another person was wearing brass knuckles, Peterkin said.
Frame pointed the rifle at the owner and demanded money, Peterkin said.
The person with the brass knuckles began beating the owner, Peterkin said. The owner struggled with the men and managed to wrest away the rifle from the gunman, Peterkin said.
The owner shot the gunman with the teenager's rifle, Peterkin said, and the other three would-be robbers fled.
Vega lives on the 300 block of Providence Way in Aberdeen, and Ross lives at Park Place Mobile Home Park in Raeford.
Each is charged with one count of robbery with a dangerous weapon, breaking and entering, aiding and abetting armed robbery and conspiracy.
Bail had not been set by late afternoon on Monday.
Authorities have not identified the third person still being sought.

"This is really a moment of truth for Ukraine, and it's really a point where the international community has to name these events by their true names," her daughter, Evgenia Tymoshenko, told CNN before the vote.
No turnout figures were immediately available, but voting appeared light in a country where many have become disillusioned with politics.
Even from prison, Tymoshenko persuaded the country's usually divided opposition to unite for the vote. Eight parties joined forces to produce the United Opposition coalition, while Udar and Svoboda agreed to strategically withdraw candidates to avoid splitting the anti-Yanukovich vote.
While the opposition was expected to run strongly in Kiev, the Party of Regions has a strong base in eastern Ukraine.
Yurii Miroshnychenko, Yanukovich's official representative in parliament, said closed-circuit television cameras were installed in every polling station and thousands of Ukrainian and international observers were present to watch the balloting. But international observers have expressed concern about the use of government resources by Party of Regions candidates, the almost-complete absence of independent media coverage, and the intimidation of opposition activists. And United Opposition was already raising alarms Sunday afternoon about fraud at the polls.
"The campaign was very tough, extremely tough. Intimidation, they purchased the voters, they intimidated the members of the election commissions," Yatsenyuk said. "So they did their utmost with a an iron fist to do something to win the elections, but look at the results of the exit polls. They didn't succeed."

LJ users are blackmailink us! SUP ain't happy about the upcoming LJ boycott. (Happening March 21st. "No posts, no comments, no content.") Anyway... Translated from the Russian: We'll show THEM! "In this situation, where they attempt to blackmail and to intimidate us, threatening to destroy our business, there is a business-reason not to reward this behavior. This is not the simple reaction of being more resistant the more pressure is applied. The fact is that through history no successful enterprise runs by being subjugated by unfriendly forces. No change, even the most correct one, will not experience some resistance. It would probably be best to reconsider the recent changes. But from our point of view it is now necessary to wait until after the boycott has faded. Let it pass and have the voices of protest fade. Then we can consider changing this policy." ETA provided by Tunxeh: Evidently SUP had originally hired a prostitute to blackmail Brad. Talk about shady business. (Actual credibility pending.) ETA II: Anti-semitism?! |

NEW SOCIAL MEDIA MARKETING SYSTEMS. YOU CAN READ ABOUT OUR SYSTEMS ON WIKIPEDIA http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Social_Pull_Marketing The business terms push and pull originated in the logistic and supply chain management, but are also widely used in marketing.
Social Pull Marketing is the brain child of Kenny Brattain. It is the adaptation of the traditional Push–pull strategy marketing concepts to Social Media Websites. It utilizes the traditional Pull concept for a new way of Social Media Marketing. To get a basic understanding of what Social Pull Marketing is, just think of people friending you rather than you friending people.
You or your company must create a need for someone to friend you or your company. That need could be, information, electronic coupons, and other electronic items that people want, however, only your friends can get.
Social Pull Marketing can be applied to all of the Social Media websites. "I would rather have 400 people that friended me, than have 4,000 people that I friended. The reason is, I would have 400 people that chose to be my friend, they are pre-qualified buyers. The 4,000 people I friended accepted my friend request only because I asked them and most likely will not pay attention to what I have to say on my Social Media website".
For this experiment, Kenny Brattain utilized multiple RSS feeds for one demographic (Popular Music) were used to generate one united RSS feed. The united RSS feed was sent through Twitter. For this experiment, no one actually tweeted one time, however, the test Twitter account now has over 400 followers in a few short months. This is proof that Social Pull Marketing works. The people following the test Twitter account all chose to follow it, thereby automatically building a list of Twitter followers that are interested in popular music.

Welcome. The Beast of the East's 2013 season is officially OPEN!
This year is going to be the best Beast yet, with a new location, bigger cash prizes, and a host of new high-end competitive talent coming out to Connecticut to prove their mettle.
Our planning is well under way – have you started training for October yet?
Make sure to subscribe to this blog for email updates (at left), and follow us on Facebook to get all the News & Updates as they happen.
Thanks for stopping by, and we hope to see you in East Windsor this October!
Our first load of equipment from Again Faster was delivered last Wednesday night. Ian and Mike ( owners of Oside and King of the beach) were there to help us unload and give us an overview of the situation. Oside CrossFit is on the mend but still without power. Between donations from Again faster and Rogue Fitness we will be able to bring Oside a long way back to full operational ability soon. Oside's biggest need now is rubber flooring and a good cleaning.
CrossFit King of the Beach is totally wiped out. Between the flood and diesel fuel spill that gym will be out of operation for some time. The good news is they have a second location in Island Park and all donations are going to get that gym up and operational.
Concept 2 and Jim Phelps from CrossFixit equipment repair services will have KOB's fleet of rowers restored to like new by then end of today.
Steve's Club generously donated a huge box of Paleo kits to keep everyone fueled.
Another shipment of equipment is due in from Rogue Fitness in the next couple of days and will be distributed between Oside, KOB and CrossFit Volition.
We are still in need of cash donations to help purchase rubber flooring for these gyms. If you would like to help please click on the link provided and donaate today.
Thank you to everyone who has contributed to helping these guys get back on their feet.
Our relief efforts have now grown to inlcude 3 CrossFit gyms damaged on Long Island by storm Sandy. Many individuals and several equipment companies have stepped up to aid our community and we cannot thank them enough. However the scope of their needs are larger than any one company or individual can solve on their own.
So we are asking other equipment companies to please step in and help us out. Your company will recieve a big thank you on our site and Facebook page and the appreciation of the greater CrossFit community.
If you can help in any way please contact us at firstname.lastname@example.com
So far we have identified 3 box's located on Long island that need our help. CrossFit Oside, CrossFit King of the Beach and CrossFit Volition. There were all pretty much beach front when the storm hit. We intend to do our best to help them all.
We are collection donations in Connecticut at CrossFit Relentless and CrossFit Milford for used equipment. Anything can help so please consider dropping off equipment by next Wednesday.
We are working with Concept 2, Again Faster, Life as Rx and other equipment suppliers to help these people regain their feet.
We are in need of money as well. To date we have collected a little over $500. We have a goal of collecting $25,000 by December 8th. Please donate if you can on the link below.
Please pass the word and do what you can to help our community.
Thank you all.

Seahawks' rookie QB Russell Wilson draws big crowd in Federal Way
By CASEY OLSON
Federal Way Mirror Sports editor
November 6, 2012 · Updated 10:21 AM
Russell Wilson made a pretty big impression on Federal Way.
The Seattle Seahawks rookie quarterback was in town Monday evening to sign autographs and pose for photos at Walt's Auto Care Center. Wilson was in town to kick off a food drive for the Federal Way Multi-Service Center. The center is currently low on food and Walt's is hosting a food drive all week long. There will be a drawing and the winner will receive a football autographed by Wilson.
On Monday evening, the line around Walt's stretched around the block, and despite having a previous charity engagement, Wilson signed an autograph for everybody who stood in line.
Walt's Auto Care Center is located at 34110 Pacific Highway S.

Ok I am going to(After I have finished my eeveelution team and gardevoir) train a charizard. I wanted to know is it worth it to go throught the trouble of getting an E-quake tm to make a D-dance sweeper(Fire punch and Dragon claw for it's other moves) or should I go with a special set. I don't want to do a mixed sweeper and I was considering a D-dance sweeper becuase it has to low speed to do a swords dancer becuase garchomp can just stone edge it before it can D-claw it but if it had D-dance it will be much better.
Umm, first of all, it's a terrible idea to even pit Charizard against Garchomp. Charizard is strong, and I like him as much as the next trainer, but Charizard actually beating Garchomp one on one has very low odds.
A Dragon Dance Charizard is very rare on Wi-Fi, so I think it'd be a good idea for screwing over your opponents. Dragon Dance, Earthquake, Fire Punch, and Dragon Claw give perfect coverage against any enemy, so that's always good.
Just be careful about when you use Charizard in battle. Even though it'll be pretty tough to match after a Dragon Dance or two, it'll be hard to efficiently boost him, seeing as Charizard is pretty frail.
This could well very well as a switch-in, though, so don't lose hope. :)
I don't think its wourth to give charizard physical moves cuz its potential is in sp attack though youre moveset is good and not a lot people will expect a physical charizard but there is a risk that someone will get a water sweeper and by the time charizard will d-dance to out speed it the sweeper will get you sweeped this moveset is pertty good but again untill you will charge youre charizards speed a garchomp can end youre charizard and if youre charizard will have like 4 hp left and you use dragon claw it may not take the chomp down and charizards sp attack is much better the attack so I think the rel potencial of chaizard will be in the special moveset which has only one weaknes too:
dragon pulse-better the claw and special
sunny day-takes a turn like d-dance
solarbeam-take adventege
heat wave\flamethrower-STAB
to wrap things up I think youre moveset has everything charizard has to offer a special moveset is only and opsion but I like the physical cuz charizard dosent need to cover ground beacuse its a flying I would go with mix sweeper but as you want it I would go with the pure physical
Wow, I have to admit, this was insanely creative, I do random Wi-fi battle on PBR and if someone pulled at a physical charizard on me, I would be surprised. something I would try though, I wouldn't go for the physical route, because charizard has a higher base SP. ATK stat. If you wanted a special set, you could switch D-Claw with D-Pulse, Get flamethrower, or heat wave, whatever floats you boat, and something I tried with my charizard that worked great, was using roost, I had a charizard with this moveset,
Charizard: Flamethrower Dragon Pulse Toxic Roost
My charizard almost never dies, you can set a toxic ( Almost no one expects a charizard to use toxic, ) then use flamethrower for power, Dragon Pulse for pesty dragon types, and when his HP gets to about half, use roost. My charizard has literally never lost a batlle.

The biggest problem with STEM careers is that over the last 20 years 100K's of ...
No amount of STEM classes will change that fact. http://www.hqew.net
How do you show engineering can be cool?
Rick Merritt
"I tell them my job is really 'CSI Computer'--its fun and awesome," she says, riffing on the popular TV crime show series. "We are looking for bad guys," says the co-founder of Silver Tail Systems, now part of EMC Corp.
Garrett Johnson does his part, too. The African-American chief executive of SendHub likes to disabuse his nephews of their blind adulation for professional basketball stars.
"I tell them if you made a pie of all the money earned from the five founders of Facebook and the five top NBA players, the Facebook founders would make up 98.5 percent of that pie," he said, speaking at a panel discussion sponsored by the Silicon Valley Leadership Group.
Both tech execs know the U.S. lags many other countries in science, math, engineering and technology education, aka STEM. And both know one of the root causes of that fact is that engineers are generally held in low regard in America, typically stereotyped as geeks and nerds.
"We need more role models who show science as high status, said Rebecca Blank, deputy secretary of commerce in the Obama Administration, speaking on the panel. "We need to send more messages that validate science as a career track," she said.
Blank knows the figures well. Some thirteen percent of U.S. college grads have degrees in STEM fields compared to 25 to 30 percent in Germany and South Korea, she said.
The problem is even worse among females. Women make up half the U.S. workforce but less than 25 percent of the STEM workers and grads, Blank said. Changing attitudes in K-6 education is the key, she added.
Blank called on the private sector to do more by funding more STEM teachers, providing more internships and getting more engaged with local schools. "People have to live it a little bit," she said.
Government has played an active role in the past, noted Aart de Geus, chief executive of Synopsys. "In the Kennedy era, the government was saying we have to go to moon—a strange goal in some ways--but out of this came a generation of investment in schools and technology--but more importantly the notion that science is cool," he said on the panel.
The private sector tries to do its part. "At every science fair we attend our goal is to see how many young people we can make feel science is cool," de Geus said.
Their discussion sparked me to ask, what are you doing to show science is cool?

Mostly, this kind of story just aggravates me. First, because people think that something so obviously great has to be made to look "cool," and then also that this has to be about money.
EE Times just finished publishing a survey that showed that NASA and Boeing were two of the top rated organizations to work for, according to US school grads, no? Is it a huge leap among kids to get that these jobs require STEM education? I can't see how.
Also, what's wrong with geeks and nurds? I mean what, as opposed to airheads or neanderthals?
The government can stay out of this, for the most part. The popular media might have more of a part, by cutting back on its emphasis on things shallow and trendy.
While I agree we should not have to make engineering "cool", we do need to address the overall image of engineers and scientists in our society.
Our TV image is one of evil scientist, rogue engineers, nasty hackers or just really boring people. Thank you holliwood.
The truth remains that engineering is not a career for the masses. You have to want to be an engineer. No amount of STEM classes will change that fact.
Yes we can slowly change the image, but the only way to address the future shortages is to find those young people who have the interest and desire to be a scientist or engineer and facilitate their path to become one. If we make the path attainable, then more will make the journey.
Just my opinion.
Frank Eory
I doubt that many young people with talent in STEM really care much whether engineering is perceived as "cool." The ones I know through my college student daughter were always good at math & science, since grade school, and liked (or didn't dislike) those subjects.
As they got into high school and started thinking about college majors and careers, they naturally had questions about engineering -- some of them asked me about what I do and how much do I like it -- and none of them had a clue just how vast the engineering profession is and how many different career possibilities an engineering degree can lead to.
But the far bigger issue they now face as college graduation approaches in the next year or two is whether or not they will actually get to be working engineers -- whether anyone will offer them an engineering job, and in what city will that job be and what is the cost of living there relative to the salary?
To Bert's comment, at some level it does have to involve money, because these young grads want to know that they have chosen a profession in which it will not be impossible to get a job, or that if they do get a job, it will pay enough that they can have the kind of lifestyle they're hoping for -- to be able to someday buy a house, drive a decent car, raise a family and so on.
Nobody wants to study that hard, get those good grades, possibly take on student loan debt, and then graduate with that shiny new engineering degree only to discover that there are no jobs for them, that every engineering job listing requires a minimum 3-5 years experience which they obviously don't yet have and which they will never get if no company ever hires fresh-outs.
The question asked in the headline should not be "how do you show engineering can be 'cool'?" but "how do you show that engineering can be a career and not just a hobby?"
I think that you are right Frank. In some sense it is about the money. Our best and brightest want to be hedge fund managers, not engineers. When I look at women in STEM I see them clustering in a few areas like chemical, biomedical, and environmental engineering. So there is something to the fact that as the numbers of women rise in these fields even more women are attracted to them.
I prefer people loving Science and Technology for something deeper than a cool factor.
I would venture to say that virtually everyone that has a successful career in engineering started their pursuit because of a "coolness".
If it isn't cool, they will be out of engineering shortly after starting.
At least that's how it works in America, Europe and Britain.
Due to globalization (read China, India, Russia, Eastern Europe, Brazil) STEM has become too competitive. The need to come up constantly with new ideas and products has never been so high, and salaries in the West due to the high government taxes are under pressure, as an engineer in the West is still costing 2 to 3 times as much as in the upcoming countries. As a lawyer, or physician the professional field is evolving much slower and pressure is only local, not global.
In order to make engineering 'cool' to the masses, take a page out of the 'Hollywood Blockbuster Film Formula'
#1 Start with a car chase to grab their attention
#2 Add multiple explosions ... then add more.
#3 Wave a flag
#4 Have a gunfight (even better if accompanied by explosions)
#5 Show a love interest
#6 Add a few more explosions (while waving a flag)
#7 Show impossible technology saving the world
#8 Have the love interest blow something up
#9 Have another 10 thousand round gunfight that magically stops the moment the bad guy dies.
#10 Kiss the girl (surrounded by blown up wreckage, bullet holes and a flag waving in the background)
Follow this time tested formula and you're guaranteed to make engineering 'cool' ... either that or $150 million at the box office :)
Engineering can be made "cool" for the mass market by showing the connection to companies which make cool stuff: Google, Facebook, Apple, for example. Also Ford, GM, and Tesla. This connection must be made early in education (prior to high school), in order to inspire students to start on the path of STEM education. Engineering school is hard, and relatively few engineering grads will hit the start-up jackpot, so their passion must be fed by the intrinsic rewards of working in a creative profession, working on cool stuff (with tangible results), understanding how things work, and solving difficult problems.
"This connection must be made early in education"
Absolutely. My sister is a VP of Engineering at Boeing - in a recent STEM related interview, she stressed how growing up with a father who was an architect, industrial designer and always working on "cool" things was critical to her early interest in engineering. Like you, she believes that the "cool" of STEM needs to be introduced at a young age. I think that means schools need to have neat demonstrations, builder projects and so on to encourage an interest in design, making and innovation.
Kids are smart now, they can evaluate career practicalities. "Cool" is an older generation's foolish adolescent concern.
I agree with previous comments posted all of u. Engineering is amazingly cool. It is the individual, albeit a student or an engineer, to make the best out of it. It is not that much to credit for the best curriculum, the best lecturers, the schools or even the most popular companies dying to work for.
As some have earlier mentioned, such publicity only shows to non-engineering sector that engineering is lacking self esteem and hungry for recognition.
Still, the focus should be increasing the job value of engineering career because youngsters look forward to financial sustainabilty for retirement or at least a job to work for long term employment.
The "elephant in the room" is that even when there are engineering JOBS there aren't engineering CAREERS because at the first "excuse" (change of strategy) engineers get laid off instead of being retrained for the new requirement. Yes in many cases the position is just outsourced anyway, but even when that happens how frequently have you heard about the outgoing employee having to train the offshore replacement for his OWN job but unable to get the company to put up the resources to upgrade his skillset to the new "requirement" in the first place (assuming that isn't just an excuse too)? I'm old enough to remember when you could take your choice between a "tech track" and a "management track" and yes I do understand why that concept has been obsoleted by worldwide competition. But that just makes it REALLY hard to understand why the concept of "tenure" is still supported and valued in the field of education, but for the engineers who make up the "student body" for continuing education the very NOTION of a stable engineering career is wildly unrealistic! What's "good for the goose" isn't - oh never mind!! But I certainly agree that enticing young students into science fairs and robotic competitions and using "fun" experiences like that to lure them into a field where careers are next to impossible to achieve is just about criminal, although I don't seem to have as much support for that opinion as I would have thought.

JeffL_2, I don't put quite as negative a spin on it as you do -- plenty of us still have engineering careers in the U.S.
My point was that for the younger generation -- the focus of Rick's blog -- excellent grades and an engineering degree (especially an EE degree) are no assurance that they will even have a first job offer, let alone a long career doing engineering work.
A report last year by the NSF documented the statistical trends in the science & engineering labor foce and noted that "from 1993 to 2008, the median age of scientists and engineers in the U.S. workforce rose from 37 to 41. The proportion over age 50 increased from 18% to 27%." So overall, U.S. companies are not hiring younger engineers in sufficient quantity to bring down or to slow the increase in the average age of U.S. engineers.
We can all speculate as to the root causes of this trend, but I personally don't believe that the lack of perceived "coolness" of engineering, or lack of young people's interest in or skill in STEM has anything to do with it.
It is not true that all of our best & brightest young people want to be hedge fund managers, or have expectations of VP-level salaries a couple years after graduation. Many of them do in fact want to be scientists or engineers, and as "any1" mentioned earlier, you see more of them concentrating today in areas like biomedical and environmental engineering, or genetics or pharmaceuticals -- branches of science & engineering in which they foresee a potentially rewarding and stable career future.
Ask them what they think about circuit design or software design and you're likely to get an answer like "it's very interesting, but I'm not willing to move to India or China for a job."
I actually think the article makes a lot of sense. I am an EE, and so are almost everyone replying in this board, but guess what, that is the problem because we are that 13% that find engineering cool despite how popular culture label them. So of course we're puzzled and even offended that STEM has to be "made cool". But the rest of the world doesn't operate that way, why do you think kids are drawn to being rappers/pop stars and NBA players? Everything, good or bad, if you want people's attention to it needs marketing, STEM is no difference, and it's not that difficult. One simple example is the movie Iron Man and how kids find the main character who's a brilliant engineer super cool. God knows how many little seeds of engineering are plant inside the minds of youngsters watching that movie. As cheesy and even untrue that movie is, it does the proper marketing for STEM and we just need more of that!
Someone needs to design a cool looking touch screen Xbox 360 kit that enables the player to reprogram and alter the device software and hardware as the user sees fit.
How about convincing the Manufacturers to introduce a low priced kit version of an Xbox or similar gaming console that the kids can assemble, program, reprogram and change the performance of at their liking, best of all being that it's a kit the price can be lower than they are now.
In my youth it was Heath Kits that were the big thing and as a result many kids that I knew started out into Ham radio, Computers, Television and Test equipment careers.
I still build my own radios, my own test equipment to align maintain and repair these radios, my own PIC controllers to program and operate my radios, all simply because of the fascination with all those wonderful Heath Kits that my Mom would let me buy.
This is the only way that I can see to get some of these kids interested in something engineering related and give them some knowledge into how those expensive toys work other than simply manipulating the controls for 12 hours a day not learning a thing.
The biggest problem with STEM careers is that over the last 20 years 100K's of tech workers have been permanently eliminated from the U.S. workforce. All of these people have sons, daughters, nieces, nephews, and so on, and none of them will tell those young people what a great career STEM is.
NO PR campaign can overcome that.

Long-empty Burr Ridge mansion has new owner
A three-week-long water main break discovered March 5, 2011, at Villa Taj poured an estimated 6 million gallons of water into the 30,000-square-foot mansion. | Doings file photo
- Burr Ridge Board considers Villa Taj options
- Mansion floods, extensive repairs needed
- Pipe break floods Villa Taj

Updated: February 11, 2013 1:58AM
BURR RIDGE — The long-vacant, extravagant home at County Line and Plainfield roads has been sold.
MB Financial Bank sold the property, often referred to as Villa Taj, to a group known as BB Development XIII LLC in late November. Because the property was sold through a judicial sale, further information was not available through the Cook County Recorder of Deeds.
Burr Ridge Director of Community Development Doug Pollock said no permits have been taken out, but he has been assured that work will soon begin to make the home inhabitable for its new owner.
The 30,000-square-foot home, which was never finished and which suffered extensive damage when it flooded in 2011, was once listed at $26.5 million.
The single-family home includes a 2,400-square-foot ballroom, six expansive bedroom suites and 20-car heated garage. The home was built with materials brought in from all over the world, including stairs made of Brazilian cherrywood, $2 million worth of gold limestone from Israel and an Italian tile floor installed at $180 per square foot.

Best of the best for Ubuntu is the free cd ordering you can do through thier website http://www.ubuntu.com where you can create your LaunchPad ID through this link: https://launchpad.ne...n=shipit-ubuntu, which will redirect you again after that to shipIt page to continue your request, you can request up to 10 CDs for free.
Ofcourse i agree completely with Jeigh, it's the best Linux distro for people who didn't taste linux before, the easiest while having all linux applications and features, at the same time, it's not microsoft doors like and i think doors is a better name for it, because these wholes can't be called just windows
anyway, i used to use ubuntu breezy, as i can't still setup the new release because i'm away from my lovely laptop which have linux on, working on these microsoft caves workstations till i get back to my lovely pc.
I just recieved my ordered Cd's Yesterday, they are so coooool, i am waiting for forex market to go into weekend vaccation "in 10 hours and 40 minutes" to install it, i can't wait for it

[Recruitment/Seeking] 2 Characters needed for a 'Theme/Radicals' Rogue Trader Skype game!
Hi there, this is a thread to help recruitment for a very, very, nonstandard Rogue Trader game. Here are some things you should know about this game and the ways it is nonstandard:
1.) It will be over Skype, but it won't be a traditional 'be here at this particular time' sort of thing. While the GM wants to encourage people to be online at a particular time and place (this time is not yet set up), we will be using skype as more a way to keep track of a 'play by post' sort of game, where people can post to the chat at any time, and even describe things that their character does retroactively, like a play by post (ie, 'before this character speaks up, my character says…'), while simultaneously allowing the benefit of chat-based gaming for those who CAN be online at a particular time of the week, to get more in-depth character interaction. After all, many of the existing players are in a fantastically wide array of time zones! Still, the idea is that, 'we wait for most of the people to get a post up before making any big changes or moving on or doing something meaningful', so that those who can't do a live chat aren't left in the dust.
2.) It will be a Rogue Trader game, with the standard 500 starting XP. However, there are a number of houserules that we are using, which we will describe via chat. This is especially relevant to calculating your starting stats and your actual background path choices, but there are other house rules to know too. Don't worry, you'll get all the info before making your character. Also, we will be sometimes drawing some rules from some of the other non Rogue Trader books, but mostly only doing that on an 'as needed' basis.
3.) We are looking for two classes right now. Primarily, an Explorator (the game will _not_ be able to get off the ground unless someone is playing an Explorator!). Secondarily, a Navigator (this particular game is very much exploration themed, but the Explorator is a MUST for the concept! If you are leaning towards Navigator but could do okay with an Explorator, pick the Explorator).
4.) This game, as described earlier, is a 'theme' game. What this means is that we have a basic overarching story that we want to tell with this group, and it isn't just, 'make a standard explorator and jump in'; everyone has been (thus far) making characters together, as a group, so that they fit in with the story and the concept, and have some history together. We'll go into more detail a bit later (ie, if you want to join in), but the short of it is that the Rogue Trader has been collecting Idealistic Radicals who have a plan (or at least a dream -- but an idea that is plausible is a good start) to go to a place where they can conceivably break some rules, in order to achieve the goals of making money, doing something to reduce the amount of stagnation in the imperium, and improve the lives of some group of people that the Imperium doesn't seem to care about. A real sort of group of renegade (heretics? not chaos based, though) types that want to do well by doing good, as it were.
Anyway, if this idea tickles your fancy, please just reply or PM me, and I will give you a private message with the contact information of the DM, and some more info!

Terribly sorry for not having contacted your GM during the weekend, was a bit too busy with a local festival and girlfriend moving in and the joy of talking to her mother about it.
I'm interested in both, and honestly think I'd love playing either of them. The explorator I'm interested in because I LOVE the way tech priests and magos are presented in 40k books such as Word Bearers: The omnibus and the preheresy book about the Luna Wolves although that role was alot smaller and thus not elaborated so much.
The navigator is also interesting, I've recently made an astropath in another RT pbp and found both psyker classes in the corebook very interesting. They're alot more specialized and I just adore the way they've changed psykers from the powerhouses of DH into niche classes bringing skillsets no one else can really supply, and thus finding a niche that many others also have.
My experience in Rogue Trader is somewhat limited I'm afraid, but I do have a pretty firm grasp of the overall fluff and lore through the boardgame, the various core and supplement books I have read and played. Those being mainly Dark Heresy and Black Crusade, although I have read some/most of the RT corebook and recently aquired Into the Storm and Koronus Battlefleet. There will obviously be gaps in what I know about the Rogue Trader system since I haven't played it extensively so if you feel I won't make a good explorator due to that I understand completely.
If you want a character sheet just tell me what format, I get the overall vibe so background will be no problem to write up.
Cold is the God Emperors way of telling us to burn more heretics.
Well just add him -- or me, I'll PM you my skype name -- and we can figure something out. I have multiple people interested in answering this call, so you all can negotiate out what you want to do or not…
Hey! I usually just lurk on these forums for homebrew suggestions and campaign ideas, but I needed to register just so I could reply to this. Very very keen!
I don't have the most experience ever in playing any of the 40k RPG's, the only groups I know of are all D20 groups. I have tried my hand at GMing some Black Crusade but I think that playing the game with someone else GMing would help me sink into the groove of a 40k RPG's a lot better! The reason I am so keen as that ever since I had a gander at the RT core rule book the two classes I have most wanted to play with are an Explorator and a Navigator.
I would be happy with either, and could send you character sheets if you like. I have had fairly boring university units this semester and have been working on character concepts while I should be studying (I can't get the idea of a Navigator Scion on the run from his house out of my mind).
I am a massive fan of the fluff, and very interested in what life would be like for those operating just outside of the Imperium's grasp… for now. I have access to most of the books (the big one I am missing is battlefleet koronus) and while I do live in Australia so time difference might be a problem I am fine doing a play by post if you are all up for it!
Let me know by PM if you are still wanting another player!
I'd be up for it and I have several character concept pitches that I'd be up for, but it all depends on flexibility. I have both a Stormtrooper and Skitarii Assassin concepts that I'd love to play one day, although both would require significant houseruling to be viable (there is no Assassin or Stormtrooper careers, and the Stormtrooper concept also makes use of my own Schola Progenium homebrew). I also did an Explorator background that somehow became a short story, once - I should even still have him statted somewhere, I think (Yes, I stat up character when I'm bored). I also have a concept for a False-Man mutant Missionary, masquerading as an Ogryn, melee and fellowship-based. And also a Arch-Militant/Reaver (dedicated to what he thinks is a spirit of life, but is actually a great unclean one) that after I rolled up with managed to start with 42 insanity points (and the resulting minor insanity) and a Fellowship of 24, that pulls a bit upon the Black Crusade rules and would require very little homebrewing (basically I'd want to switch around some advances of the Arch-Militant, because WS is more fitting than BS and TO fits the concept better than AG).
Out of everything I've ever played around with, the only thing I'm completely unprepared for would be a Navigator. But that in no way implies unwilling. I can play absolutely anything and a radical campaign would fit me with a glove, since I enjoy concepts that either are not malicious but still "clearly" heretical, or those that slowly descend towards the path of damnation (such as my Reaver, who is by no means a nice person, but would definitely not give himself to the ruinous powers willingly).
There is only one caveat; I have very little practical roleplaying experience.
I do, however, know the world very well (Lexicanum, oh how I love thee) and have access to absolutely every book in the WH40kRP line - except Koronus Bestiary and the Lathe Worlds - in .pdf.
If any of this (or I) sound interesting and as long as there's still room in the group, feel free to drop me a line by Skype (rebel.entertainment.inc). I do love myself Explorators and finally having a reason for a Navigator would be equally awesome. And if you have enough firepower in the group or my Reaver or Skitarii sounds like too much work (or work-arounds) or rubbish, my third pick would be a very non-combat-y Seneschal/Aquisitionist.

FYI… starting Rogue Trader characters. IE, RT characters with 500 xp, using the RT rules. If you want something from some other book, we can figure out ways to import the rule in question…
I'm kind of interested in anything. SO what its gone be?

How would someone be a Backup-GM without also playing or sitting in on the games?
Uh, they would be sitting in, yea? Or have access to the chat history, at least? Anyone who is interested in that, PM me with your Skype Screenname… (we haven't heard from the GM for a while…)
Any spaces left? I would play any of the archetypes.
'The Emperor protects, Avitus. I merely carry out His will.' -Tarkus, Blood Raven Sternguard Veteran Sargent
'Knowledge is power, guard it well!' - Blood Raven motto
I can pulp your flesh and snap your bones in less than a second, and without so much as lifting a finger. What is the power of technology compared to that? - Chief Librarian Vel'cona of the Salamanders
The enemies of the Emperor fear many things. They fear discovery, defeat, despair and death. Yet there is only one thing they fear above all others. They fear the wrath of the Space Marines -Anon.
Okay, just saying: currently have:
Rogue Trader: Lord-Captain
Explorator: Enginseer Prime
Navigator: Warp Guide
Seneschal: High Factotum (also XO)
Void-Master: Bosun (also Void Marshal)
Possibly interested in whoever else might want to join!
Well, we have a GM for the Rogue Trader radical game, but several of the players seem to be quite absent. We NEED players who can post regularly on Skype. Please respond to me if you think you can manage!
The previous message about what we have is null and void.
