The Open Lighting Architecture (OLA) is part of the Open Lighting Project and provides applications with a mechanism to send and receive DMX512 & RDM commands using hardware devices and DMX over IP protocols. This enables software lighting controllers to communicate with hardware either via Ethernet or traditional DMX512 networks.
OLA can also convert DMX512 data sent using DMX over IP protocols from one format to another, allowing devices from different manufacturers to interact with one another. For example a Strand Lighting Console using ShowNet can send DMX512 to an Enttec EtherGate. When combined with a physical DMX interface such as the DMX USB Pro, OLA can send and receive data from wired DMX512 networks.

Dinner with BuddhaNow you can Enjoy book Dinner with Buddha with detailed description:
The author of Breakfast with Buddha brings his characteristic whimsy to a new novel about New York book editor Otto Ringling and Mongolian monk Volya Rinpoche, who embark on a road trip from Rinpoche's meditation center in North Dakota to the glitter and glitz of the Las Vegas strip.
What prompts the trip is Otto's recently altered life, having lost first his wife then his job, and then seeing both his children leave home for lives of their own. With Rinpoche's guidance, he hopes to find a new meaning in his life and a new direction. But what begins as a quietly contemplative journey becomes much more as the two men travel through the heart of the American Midwest, witnessing the decimated lives of so many American natives and giving Otto new perspective on the trials he is experiencing in his own life.
Along with these inner awakenings for Otto, there is also a very real hint of menace in the novel, as men show up who may be looking to make sure that the world never knows of the existence of Shelsa, the eight-year-old daughter of Rinpoche and Otto's sister, Cecilia. Shelsa has consistently shown that she has the markings and the instincts of a spiritual leader, leading to speculation that she may be the new Dalai Lama.

I've been wishing to eat Hainanese Chicken in Sydney and I'm so grateful to one of my dearest friends for bringing us to Temasek Restaurant in Parramatta. On the Friday night we dined at Temasek, I discovered a love for Malaysian and Singaporean cuisine that I thought I never had. Why? Because Temasek made me a believer.
We made reservations for 6PM as we opted to meet up straight from work and to avoid the crowd. With the recommendations of our foodie friends, we ordered our preferred dishes in one go and in less than 15 minutes, our table was laden with delicious-smelling and mouthwatering dishes.
Sambal Prawns. Hot and spicy, this one surely throws a punch. Prawns were perfectly cooked and the sauce thick, flavourful and smooth.
Kecap Manis Sotong (AUD$19.80). Lightly-fried Calamari in sweet soy and a hint of spice. This dish is addictive with or without the rice.
Sambang Balacaan Kangkong (AUD$16.++). Likened to the Filipino version of Kangkong with Bagoong (Shrimp Paste). A mountain of Kangkong mixed with fermented shrimp. A harmony of salty, sweet and spicy flavours all in one mouthful. A perfect partner to almost all the meat dishes in the menu.
Nasi Goreng (AUD$14.80). Packed with flavour and all the components that make this fried rice irresistible.
Chicken Curry (AUD$17.80). This is the only curry that I love because it does not overwhelm the palate and my sense of smell. An uncomplicated dish that gives you a kick of spice.
Hainanese Chicken (Half Boneless at $18.50). I think the reason why I love this dish is because of its simplicity. Served cold in its unpretentious "whiteness" with the thick soy sauce and chili sauce on the side to help in enhancing the chicken's flavour. The chicken was tender and juicy.
We ate here two weeks ago and I can't wait to try out all their other dishes next time.

text: As the kids head back to school, I can't deny that I'm looking forward to making more casseroles and slow-cooked meals, although southern California doesn't get too chilly (luckily). Still, meals cooked in one or two dishes are popular for good reason; who wants to wash a pile of dishes after refereeing an afternoon of homework? This chicken and tomato recipe is a perfect solution: minimal fuss with maximum taste! Pour the tomatoes into your baking dish. Crushed tomatoes come in many varieties, but I opted to use Muir Glen Organic fire roasted tomatoes for this dish. They're packed with extra flavor from slow-roasted tomatoes which really helps flavor the dish, but without the need to add extra ingredients. This keeps things simple and quick but doesn't sacrifice flavor. Add the chicken stock to the tomatoes and stir. Place the sliced chicken into the dish. Chop the broccoli into small florets and add to the rest of the dish. Add the rice and oregano and stir well. Place in the oven and bake for 30 minutes at 350°. Serve with some baked crusty French loaf to soak up the tasty tomato sauce.

And I am loving every second of it :)
I hope everyone had a great weekend and a wonderful Mother's Day. I know there are a lot of deserving moms out there, so I hope you were pampered right yesterday!
On Friday, I mentioned that I had a fun giveaway coming up. Weren't you so intrigued?? lol.
I figured that the Easter candy hangover had finally passed, so it is time to reveal my 2011 giveaway extravaganza!!! Ok, maybe it isn't that fancy, but hey, who doesn't like winning stuff??
Shhhh, don't tell customs, but I snuck back some extra special items from Germany. No, not the goatie, although I was tempted. Very tempted.
You remember Things You Never Knew Were German, right?!
Well I mentioned how Haribo and Trolli candies were made in Germany. So of course I had to bring a bunch back to share with one lucky reader.
|Hey, if they look smooshed, they are. You try being in a suitcase on an airplane for 10 hours!
Couldn't fool you, could I?! Saw that extra something in there, well how could you forget these babies???
Yep, brought back a few of those packs as well. Isn't this giveaway just awesome!?? Ha.
And actually, I found 3 packs at the store. So that means there will be 2 Runner-Up Prize Packages.
There is no catch to the giveaway, nothing to 'like' or join. It is my way to say thank you for all the support and loving comments I have received over the last few months. I wish I could send something to every single one of my readers! But that might break the bank a bit.
Just sign into the linky list below, which I thought was the easiest way to keep track of you. Include your URL if you have one, and if not, it isn't required.
And tell your friends! Or don't. That way you'll have a better chance of winning :)

Netiquette, or online rules of behaviour, is a set of useful rules you should adhere to when you participate in digital projects of communities, forums, chats and user generated content. The Barilla website proposes a netiquette that we kindly ask you to respect for a "civilized cohabitation" for all members. The violation of one or more of these rules will involve the censorship of the post or, at worst, the removal of the registered user.
For any further information, please write to the following email address here.
1. When entering a community, you should read a few published comments before typing in order to get a feel for the flow of conversation. This way, you won't say anything that is completely off-topic, which would detract from the conversation.
2. Before asking questions, please check if there's an answer in the FAQs.
3. Try to forward brief but clear messages. No one wants to scroll through many lines to get to the next comment. Don't repeat the same ideas, don't be too long and don't leave posts too often. Many people are tempted to repeat the same idea or send a flood of messages. Before "swamping" a discussion area, please ask yourself: "will others find what I'm saying interesting?".
4. Please don't use all upper case letters in the subject or in the text of your message, it's equal to "screaming" and is unnecessary.
5. Try to stay on topic; even if sometimes you can submit an off-topic post to a thread by adding the [OT] tag, i.e. Off Topic, in the subject of your message, this cannot be considered a rule.
6. If you reply to a comment, please clearly highlight the main points linked to the original post in order to let people who didn't read it keep track of the thread of the conversation; yet, please don't re-quote the whole original comment.
7. Please think through your response before posting. It can happen to read something that bothers you, but think before reacting. Make sure you sure have a feel for the "local" tone, tradition and language? Should you answer immediately or wait awhile to see if someone else makes a post? Could a privave message be more appropriate? Situations often become inflamed by misunderstandings - it is better to consider your response carefully.
8. Please avoid inflammatory comments, i.e. comments that can turn into heated exchanges on a message board or in a chat room. Please avoid private dissents within the domain of online communities, especially if they're controversial. Don't publish messages with no useful content to anyone who reads or that simply take somebody's side in a dispute.
9. Never publish contents of email or private messages without the explicit permission of their writer.
10. Accept others' grammatical or spelling mistakes. Writers should try to improve their way of writing in order to be easily understood by others.
11. Any text containing insults, unbecoming or discriminatory words as for ideas, gender, race, religion, or whatever other users have expressed, will be immediately removed and the writer won't have access to the community any longer.

Dental X-rays May Raise Risk of Brain Cancer
Frequent exposure to dental x-rays correlated with a twofold increase in the risk of meningioma, investigators reported.
Regardless of age at the time of exposure, people who reported at least annual bitewing x-rays had a significantly higher risk of meningioma.
Frequent exposure to panorex films or exposure at a young age also was associated with an increased risk of meningioma, particularly among individuals exposed before age 10, as reported online in Cancer.
"The findings presented here are important, because dental x-rays remain the most common artificial source of exposure to ionizing radiation for individuals living in the U.S.," Elizabeth B. Claus, MD, PhD, of Yale University, and co-authors wrote in the discussion of their findings.
"The primary environmental (and generally modifiable) risk factor consistently identified for meningioma is exposure to ionizing radiation," they added. The American Dental Association has issued a statement encouraging dentists to weigh the risks and benefits of dental x-rays and noting a paucity of evidence to use x-rays to search for occult disease (J Am Dent Assoc 2006; 137: 1304-1312), the authors noted. Studies have shown that exposure to ionizing radiation increases the relative risk of meningioma by as much as tenfold. Many of the studies, however, included patients exposed to high levels of radiation, such as survivors of atomic bombs, the authors wrote in their introduction. Studies that have concentrated on exposure to lower levels of ionizing radiation are few and have fewer than 200 total cases. Studies focusing on the risks of dental x-rays have produced suggestive evidence but have involved few cases and have spanned an era when higher-dose x-ray methods were used, the authors continued. No recent studies have examined associations between dental x-rays and meningioma during the era when radiation doses for conventional x-rays have decreased and newer imaging techniques, such as computed tomography, have been introduced. To update the potential associations, Claus and colleagues examined records for 1,433 patients who had meningioma diagnoses from May 2006 through April 2011. They compiled a control group matched for age, sex, and geography. Overall, the patients were twice as likely as the control group to report a history of at least annual exposure to bitewing x-rays (OR 2.0). A significant difference persisted across all age groups: <10, OR 1.4 10 to 19, OR 1.6 20 to 49, OR 1.9 ≥50, OR 1.5 Less-than-annual exposure to bitewing x-rays also was associated with increased odds for meningioma, ranging from 1.1 to 1.6 across age groups. The differences were significant for all but the oldest age group. Annual or more frequent panorex dental x-rays increased the odds for meningioma by 2.7 to 3.0 in the three oldest age groups, and any exposure to panorex imaging before age 10 was associated with a meningioma odds ratio of 4.9. The authors acknowledged the inherent potential for under- and over-reporting in epidemiologic studies (in this case, the frequency of dental x-rays). They also pointed out the unknown potential for genetic variation in susceptibility to ionizing radiation exposure. Finally, the authors acknowledged that some of the exposures occurred before lower-dose dental x-ray techniques were widely used. In response to a request from MedPage Today and ABC News, clinicians and authorities on radiation safety weighed in on the findings. Henry D. Royal, MD, of Washington University in St. Louis, called the study flawed and cited the absence of radiation doses and lack of control for nondental radiation exposures. "Causality seems improbable," Royal responded in an email. "The dose to the brain from dental x-rays should be trivial. To know whether dental x-rays caused meningiomas, you would want to know the radiation dose to the part of the brain where the meningioma occurred, and you would need to show that there was a statistically significant dose response." In contrast, health physics specialist Steven King, of Penn State-Hershey Medical Center in Pennsylvania, credited the authors with confirming an association between dental x-rays and meningioma reported in previous studies. "The current study is well done and confirms that even in the 'modern era,' radiation exposure from repeated dental x-rays conveys an increased risk of these tumors," King wrote in an email. Robert J. Emery, DrPH, of the University of Texas at Houston, said the study points to a need for closer examination of the issues, such as actual review of patient records, documentation of the types of exams and imaging, and radiation dose. He also pointed out that dentists and patients can take precautions to limit radiation exposure.

. . . a Queen was born. If you're not sure which Queen, here's a hint: a British Queen. That really narrows it down as the 19th century saw the same person on the throne from 1837 through the end of the century. Yes, the Queen in question is Victoria. She may be primarily remembered for two things - her long reign (63 years!) and her decades-long mourning for Prince Albert, but there's so much more to appreciate about Queen Victoria.
And while Hollywood isn't usually the first place to look for historical accuracy, I think you wouldn't go wrong starting with The Young Victoria and perhaps ending with Mrs. Brown. (Okay, I know there are questions about the accuracy of MB, but it's a great movie. If you're not convinced, here's another fact - it stars Judi Dench!) And The Young Victoria leads me to think of the Duchess of York, Sarah Ferguson, who teamed up with Martin Scorsese to create the movie. I recently saw the Duchess of York at a fundraising luncheon and she spoke about the movie, primarily in the context of keeping dreams alive and working towards them - even if it takes 17 years before they come to fruition (as it did for the movie).
And on the subject of Sarah Ferguson, recent news stories aside, she is an engaging speaker. She was warm and funny and forthcoming about her mistakes without indulging in the usual tell-all. If you have an opportunity to see her, my advice is to go - you don't need to be a Royal Watcher to appreciate her message - or share her affection for Queen Victoria.
And if you're still not convinced about The Young Victoria, I have one more surprise up my sleeve. The screenplay was written by Julian Fellowes who wrote Gosford Park, which is one of my favorite movies. (Monarch of the Glen fans also know Fellowes for his portrayal of Kilwillie, famous for his Gentleman's Relish and deep pockets.)
So, my tribute to Queen Victoria has rambled quite a bit, proof that English teachers are right - you need an outline before writing. For a different sort of tribute that doesn't ramble at all, check out the special tea honoring Queen Victoria's birthday at Eastlake Victorian. You'll want to sit down and enjoy the fare . . .

1930, Rajputana, India. Since her husband's death, 28-year-old photojournalist Eliza's only companion has been her camera. When the British Government send her to an Indian princely state to photograph the royal family, she's determined to make a name for herself.
But when Eliza arrives at the palace she meets Jay, the Prince's handsome, brooding brother. While Eliza awakens Jay to the poverty of his people, he awakens her to the injustices of British rule. Soon Jay and Eliza find they have more in common than they think. But their families - and society - think otherwise. Eventually they will have to make a choice between doing what's expected, or following their hearts. . .
I always enjoy Dinah Jefferie's books. The sights and sounds of India are brought into your front room through her words.
Eliza had witnessed the death of father when she was living in India as a child. He was killed during a protest when a bomb was thrown into a procession he was part of. Eliza and her mother returned to England but now as an adult and after the death of her husband she is offered the chance to return to India to work as a photographer taking photos of the Indian royal family.
No one seems to really want her there as she is working for the British government and they feel she could also be spying on them.
Eliza has no thoughts of falling in love as she likes being on her own with no one telling her what to do.
A forbidden love in a foreign country is not the best way to ingratiate herself with her hosts but Eliza can't help how she feels.
As always there is much more to this story than just a love affair. We see the poverty of the people and the unfairness of the British ruling a country which is not their own.
I enjoyed the book but I must admit that I did find the conclusion a bit Hollywood movie drama and doubt that it could ever happen in real life but I'm willing to be proved wrong.
Looking forward to Dinah's next book.


text: Researchers usually have to destroy their samples to determine the densities and volumes of the different components which make up a biological cell. Larger subunits of the cell, consisting of many different biomolecules, are often destroyed before the mass and volumes can be determined. A team of researchers led by Tim Salditt of the University of Göttingen together with colleagues from the Technical University of Munich (TUM) and the Swiss Paul-Scherrer-Institute has now demonstrated a way to study the density distribution of a biological cell without destroying it. In a study published in the Proceedings of the National Academy of Science, the research teams led by Klaus Giewekemeyer and Tim Salditt report on an experiment at the Swiss Light Source, where they illuminated bacterial cells with an intense X-ray beam and determined the projected density distribution from the diffracted light. Deinococcus radiodurans in x-ray-light. Blue colors indicate areas with low density, red areas mark highest density. These are the regions carrying the compressed DNA-molecules. (Image: Tim Salditt, University of Goettingen) The applied short wavelength enables the study of extended samples without considerable attenuation of the beam. Furthermore, for most biological materials local density differences can be determined particularly well by the method, and almost independently of the chemical composition. The physicists studied the bacterium Deinococcus Radiodurans, an abundant coccoid with a remarkable adaptability to hostile environments, and most notably to strong ionizing radiation. The protozoa can survive a radiation dose a thousand times stronger than that lethal for any other known living species. How the bacterium can handle the efficient repair of radiation damage might be connected with the special packing of the genetic material within the bacterium. The researchers were able to visualize the genetic material in the cells in a contrast based on the different delay times imposed on the X-ray waves when traversing a sample of varying density. This imaging technique, called ptychography, was first introduced in the 1970s for electron diffraction. It consists in measuring full far-field diffraction patterns as a small illumination is scanned on a sample. While its use in electron microscopy is still limited, ptychography has gained tremendous popularity in the X-ray imaging community in the last few years, thanks to the development by Franz Pfeiffer, now chair of the biomedical physics group at TUM, and his team. The new method has now been demonstrated for the first time successfully on a weakly scattering biological sample. The advantages granted by the novel method are the easy access to quantitative density information and the scalability of the image sharpness with the intensity of the incoming X-ray beam. As a next step the researchers plan to extend the method to three dimensions by illuminating the sample from many different directions. "This could, for example, help us to gain new insights into the packing of genetic material in a bacterial cell", said Giewekemeyer. This research is supported by the German Research Foundation (DFG), the Helmholtz Society and the German Ministry of Education and Research. For more information, visit: www.uni-goettingen.de

The peacock is the early bird as NBC continues to get the fall-season jump on ABC and CBS--this time with the premiere of a zingy, zesty comedy called "Empty Nest" following the return of "Golden Girls."
Airing at 9:30 tonight on Channels 4, 36 and 39, "Empty Nest" introduces Miami pediatrician Harry Weston (Richard Mulligan), a mid-50ish widower who lives alone, but within frequent visiting range of his two bickering eldest daughters. Carol (Dinah Manoff) is a neurotic divorcee whose closest relationship is with her talking scale, and Barbara (Kristy McNichol) is a bubbly cop.
The overbearing next door neighbor (you thought there wouldn't be one?) is a cruise ship officer named Charley (David Leisure of "Joe Isuzu" fame) who steals scenes with sneers and snide one-liners.
Also living nearby, as it turns out, are the characters from the hit "Golden Girls," who will drop in every so often to help the Golden Boy with his social life and--NBC hopes--his Nielsen ratings.

Since the camp has been in operation for 100 years, it has a long tradition, not the least of which is its reputation for water sports.
Our mission as a ministry of the Roman Catholic Diocese of Fall River is to offer quality camping opportunities in an atmosphere where Judeo-Christian principles are modeled by the way we treat one another and our environment.

Hancock Fabrics / Bad service
Terri works for Hancock Fabrics and that is where you would find her card for a seamstress. Terri, should not be a seamstress and work on peoples fabrics. We had Terri make a Brides Maids dress but the problem with Terri, is that she can not measure. The sample dress she made was out of another fabric than the one she was going to use for the dress. The sample dress was great but was a little to big in the brust. The Bride was there for this fitting on the sample dress and told Terri that the fabric that the dress was going to be made out of would not stretch as much as the sample dress, not to take in too much on the fabric for the dress and Terri took the measurement for how much should be taken out. The next fitting, I was there and the dress is now to small on the top. When we told this to Terri, she replied "I do not know what to tell you, I did the dress per the instructions. She did not offer how to fix the problem but she just did not know what to do. I am not a seamstress but I knew of a corrections that could be done, so I ask her, if she could not just add some more fabric to the sides where it would not show. Terri replied that she could do that and again measured how much should be added. Neither time did she write anything down unless she did after she left the room. At this time I had brought my dress to be hemmed up but almost did not leave it with her after that comment and I should not of left it because she missed it up too. The hem was to tight and curied, making the bottom of the dress look awful. We came back for the final time to collect the Brides Maid dress and my dress. This time it was too big again. We were running out of time and paid Terri way to much for her work. This is a warning for others, do not go to this person for any tayloring, don't be sorry, like we were. We paid $150.00 for the Brides Maid dress but it was not worth any money, she did a really bad job. The darts for the breast, made the breast look uneven, she put a panel in the back so that the zipper was not going down the middle of the back but went down one side off center. $150.00 is cheap to have a dress made anyway but you want the dress to look nice not cheap. I feel that the dress was not worth even $50.00. The $150.00 was for labor only, the fabric & thread we provided.

There's a memorable dinner scene in Life of Pi that attempts to springboard the main theme forward but ironically paralyzes it. After the young Pi becomes the poster child of "coexist" and simultaneously embraces the religions of Hinduism, Catholicism, and Islam, his father confronts him during a meal. The serious businessman says, "Believing in everything is the same as believing in nothing." He tells his son to use reason and common sense, but in doing so, he's painted as the bad guy—as if the rest of the film will prove him wrong. But it turns out he's right after all: With a little thought and reason, it's easy to see the holes in Pi's thinking, and that this film, at its core, is nothing more than a big and beautiful spiritual mess.
Adapted from the Yann Martel's popular 2001 fantasy adventure novel by screenwriter David Magee, director Ang Lee's new film traces the journey of its title character from India, across the Pacific Ocean, to Canada. Told in flashbacks from the perspective of the adult Pi (Irrfan Khan) to a struggling author (Rafe Spall) who hopes to be inspired and "believe in God," the story consists of three acts. The first, set in India, focuses on Pi's childhood living at a zoo run by his parents. Here, he develops a love for a girl at school, for the world's many animals, and for various religions, declaring that "faith is a house with many rooms." Lee captures the many creatures with stunning detail and a unique sense of humor, but this thread moves clumsily and feels stale and didactic rather than inspiring.
The second act makes up for it, though, when Pi's family decides to leave India for Canada. While crossing ...1

Last week, I can't take my eyes off a world map posted on our wall. I wish I could hop in, like a bunny, in different countries I really love like Greenland, Iceland, Scotland, Netherlands and all that ends with -LAND (kidding!). In the middle of my daydreaming, I suddenly felt blessed because I was born and living in a very beautiful and God's perfect creation..THE REPUBLIC OF THE PHILIPPINES.
Why would I say that?
If you'll look at the world map, Philippines is surrounded by water. Thus, we have "plenty" (I think it's more than plenty) of natural resources, both water and land. Simple, if there's no water there are no trees. crops, etc. In Middle East, there is a shortage of water, worst, your two hands are enough to count the trees in the dessert. In America, buildings are everywhere while trees areeee..where are they? In the Philippines, water is everywhere and floods are everywhere, haha! See like sea?
We have more or less 7,001 islands (depends upon if it's low or high tide). Many are dying just to be in an island. Us Filipinos are very lucky we don't need to spend much, or not spend at all, just to be in an island.
Philippines is a tropical country. God located us in a perfect axis. We don't chill to death because there's no winter here. Foreigners are coming over and wait till there's no more frozen water in their country. But honestly, I wish we can experience, just for once, winter season because I really want to wear layered, furry, boots and leather clothes, hihi! 🙂 They're amazing! Could it be possible Lord, like for a day? Christmas day? I don't want it for long, street families will die.
Philippines is rich in gold and other minerals. Yes, you read it right! In Southern Philippines, late Filipinos were just picking golds along the way without knowing their values.
So many neighbor countries are claiming that our island/s is/are theirs. For a reason that: THEY WANT OUR OIL.
We have protected sea areas like the Tubbataha Reef that was destroyed by US vessel. That reef was supposed to supply food for Filipinos in the upcoming years, BUT, IT WAS DESTROYED BY THAT STUPID VESSEL WHO IS NOT SUPPOSE TO PASS THRU THE AREA. Deym it!
Large percentage of Filipinos can speak and understand the international language. We only get lost in countries who don't speak or understand English, AT ALL. May I just ask, is there an international non-verbal language? We should all enroll if there is!
Lastly, Philippine's shape is very unique and intriguing. Do you notice that? 🙂
I still believe, and, I have faith that the economic status of the Philippines can still be revived.
I had a small conversation with middle aged professors I know lately. They shared to me how rich Philippines was at the time of Marcos regime. Imagine this:
- $1 = 2 pesos
- Imported corned beef and sardines are being sold in typical sari-sari store
- Each school in the Philippines have supplies of bread and milk every 10am
- Filipino goes to Singapore to eat breakfast and goes to Hong Kong to shop
- Chocolates and everything we call "imported" are just typical to Filipinos
- There are no VISAs
- Firearms and weapons are so advance
- Filipinos don't want to go in the USA because of the almost same value of money
- Philippines is the second to Japan as the richest country in the Asia
Imagine that..dot..dot.
After Ninoy Aquino died, Philippines economic died too. 😦
Could we bring back Ninoy to life please? 🙂
One thing popped out my mind: "Why is this kind of economic history does not appeal in any primary, secondary or even college books or lessons?" When they can share to the new generations how rich Philippines was. By that, new generations will be more patriotic and will appreciate more of the country. They may think, as early of their age, of ways on how Philippines can be a better place again, not only for the present, but, for the future.
Look at the generation today, they prefer to waste their time in Facebook and flirting.
Hmmm.. then I answered my own question : "Government doesn't want to share how wealthy Philippines was because they don't want BLAME GAMES."

Double Standard by Dennis Hopper
Photos by G. Art by Dennis Hopper.
Actor Dennis Hopper who passed away earlier this year was also a prolific artist. For some reason it took his passing for his works to really make their way into the mainstream. On my recent working/vacation to Los Angeles, I saw Hopper's work in at least 3 exhibits, whereas prior to his death, I'd never seen any of his art in person! Oh, that's so LA! The "Double Standard" exhibit at MOCA in downtown LA is curated by Julian Schnabel and it's the first exhibit under new MOCA director Jeffrey Deitch. You'd think those two factors would make this exhibit one that is not to be missed, but I left feeling like I could have just looked at the coffee table book that accompanies the exhibit and saved myself the $10 admission price. The exhibit shows off dozens of black and white photos that Dennis Hopper took from the 1950s onwards and according2g, most of them were unremarkable.
What was impressive; however, was that Hopper made enormous paintings of some of these pictures.
The buzz on this exhibit was that it had been in the planning stages for several years, yet to me, it felt thrown together at the last minute. You'll have to see it for yourself to make up your mind but I will say I am glad I saw it. Is that a double standard? The exhibit runs until September 26, 2010 at MOCA in Downtown Los Angeles.

Sep 19, 2006 - Green Building Press
Photovoltaic solar panels could generate
enough electricity to supply 2 billion households
by 2025, according to a report by Greenpeace and the
European Photovoltaic Industry Association (EPIA).
The report, Solar Generation, says that the PV industry
would be capable of producing 276 terawatt hours (TWh)
of electricity a year worldwide by 2020, rising to
589TWh by 2025, and cutting carbon dioxide emissions
by 350 million tonnes a year.
By 2025, the
industry could employ 3.2 million people and supply
1.6 billion off-grid and 290 million grid-connected
customers, the report says. By 2040, it could be meeting
16% of world electricity demand, compared to 0.05%
at present. However, it warns that "a major shift
in energy policy will be needed" if the industry is
to fulfill its potential. It calls for all countries
to follow the example of those with good support systems
for solar energy, such as Germany and Japan.
Teske, a Hamburg-based climate and energy campaigner
at Greenpeace, said that the projected take-up is
much higher for homes not connected to electricity
grids, because solar power is already competitive
with alternatives such as diesel generators. But the
majority of off-grid customers are in the developing
world, and so cannot afford to buy the equipment without
assistance, even though it would prove cheaper in
the long-run. "What we need is smart financing schemes,"
he said.
PV will be competitive for grid-connected customers
in central and southern Europe, where electricity
prices are already high, by 2012-15, Teske added.
Winfried Hoffman, president of the EPIA, said that
in 2006, the solar industry would invest well over
€1 billion [€1.27 billion] along the whole value chain
in new solar factories and R&D. Gradually the increasing
investment would expand the economy of scale and lower
the costs for solar photovoltaic systems. She believs
that the global PV industry is ready to invest even
more for years to come, but says there must be a supportive
political climate for the next 10 years to enable
the investment to pay off.

OK, I know it's been a while, but I ran into some employment difficulties. But that's all resolved now. Anyway, I've been working on the Super Psycho rebuild. The first step, as I documented in the previous post, has consisted of moving everything from the circuit board that was falling apart to a new board. Below is a photo of what I've gotten done:
A few things to note. I replaced all of the resistors along the top of the board with new ones from my stock, mainly because desoldering the old ones was going to be such a pain; that was an area of the old board where I'd had to add a lot of jumpers and kluges. Most of the capacitors were salvaged from the old board; I tested them all first. The two green 100 uF caps at the left are new from my stock because the old board was an earlier revision and it didn't have these. There's also a 10 uF cap above and below these; I replaced the one at the bottom because the original was borderline (measured 8.1 uF vs. a specified tolerance of 20%).
I've installed MTA-100 headers everywhere that panel wiring will attach, a la Dotcom. This should help considerably with the soldering mess that the old board had along the top edge, where 42 individual wires were soldered in. Look, it's much cleaner now:
(This photo was taken prior to washing, which is why it appears to have a lot of excess flux; it does. I used organic solder for this part.)
I wound up replacing the transistors and the IC sockets. Really, trying to salvage sockets just isn't worth the trouble; I destroyed one of them during the desoldering, and even though I got the other two out, they had distortions that made them very difficult to insert into the new board. Sockets don't cost much. I also decided to replace all of the transistors after two of them had the base leads break off while I was stuffing them. The replacements aren't the same type; the originals as specified by CGS were BC557, while the replacements are 2N4403. (Why those? Because that's what I had on hand.) All they do in this circuit is drive the LED indicators; almost any PNP type should work for that.
So the basic board is almost ready to go. There are four 470K resistors that go on the board just to the left of the 8-pin socket at bottom center in the first photo. The originals were butchered and I didn't try to salvage them. These resistors form a passive mixer for the four oscillators on the board that don't have the switchable waveform. I want to take those signals off the board at this point, so I need to get new resistors that I can stand up and have a long lead to solder a wire to. This is in pursuit of one of the two mods that I've decided to make: adding a second output bus with mix capability. Below is a block diagram of what I have in mind:
There are six of these, one for each individual oscillator. I'll pick off the four non-waveform-selectable ones from the board as stated above, and I'll intercept the other two at the waveform selection switch common terminal on the panel. The signal will come into this block at left. Each will have a pot to mix it to the B bus. There will also be a switch that allows the signal to be removed from the A bus (the on-board bus). To save some panel space, I decided to use pots with pull-out on-off switch capability to implement the A bus switching. I wasn't going to do that originally because of the cost, but I found some inexpensive ones from All Electronics. Only problem: The switch is SPST and the "on" state is when the knob is pulled out. I want the opposite sense, so to create it, I'm going to invert the switch signal and then use it to switch a bilateral switch that will feed the signal back to the A bus.
The other thing I'm doing, which I haven't drawn yet, is adding control voltage capability. I'll do this by putting a vactrol in series with the resistor that determines the frequency for each oscillator. There will be two CV inputs, an A and a B, and for each oscillator there will be a switch that switches it to the A input, the B input, or neither. I haven't decided yet if I'll make any attempt to compensate for the non-linear response of the vactrol.
I'll build all of the new circuitry on a piece of stripboard. I'll make an auxiliary panel to hold the bus mixing pots, the A/B CV input switches, and the extra jacks. I haven't figured out yet how I'm going to do this. One possibility is getting a blank MOTM-format panel with studs on the back for a board mounting bracket; that would allow me to mount the stripboard to the auxiliary panel without any screws coming through the front. Another possibility is using JB-Weld to glue standoffs to the rear of a panel and mount the stripboard that way, Dotcom-style. The third option is simply to mount the stripboard on the bottom inside surface of the case, behind the panels. However, that would make it harder to move the combined modules later.
I had to order some more 470K resistors from Mouser to replace the ones I messed up. I also had to order additional 100 nF (0.1 uF) polyester box caps; they are used for decoupling, and the rev B board uses more of them than the old board did. I've got these now and I'll be installing them next week.

Methamphetamine, commonly referred to as meth, or crystal meth is a potent central nervous system stimulant, which is extremely addictive and carries highly detrimental physical, neurological and mental consequences to its users.
Meth can be used in a variety of ways. It can be snorted, swallowed, smoked or injected. It's use is more common in, but not limited to, rural areas. Most of the methamphetamine in the United States is produced by amateur chemists in makeshift laboratories known as meth labs. Meth labs tend to pop up in rural areas, in order to be secluded and removed from the threat of law enforcement.
The physical effects of a prolonged crystal meth addiction are particularly nasty, which has led to the creation of the anti meth-use campaign, Faces of Meth, in which police mug shots are compared before and after significant methamphetamine use. The drastic weight loss and sores and abscesses forming on the skin inflicts serious changes in one's physical appearance. Long term meth-use damages vital organs like the the lungs, heart, liver and kidneys and causes structural changes in the way the brain functions. Dental decay, referred to as meth-mouth contributes to an aged appearance, lent to also from extreme sleep deprivation and poor nutrition.
Meth is well-known to produce unusual and irrational behavior characterized by hyperactivity and seemingly obsessive and compulsive actions. Impaired judgment and thinking, paranoia, hallucinations and delusions are the psychological and mental effects of prolonged meth use. It is not uncommon for meth users to become violent when agitated.
The methamphetamine high results from a massive release of dopamine in the brain causing a rush of euphoria. Overtime meth takes a negative toll on functions in the brain, making it impossible for meth users to reach the high they are so obsessed with, but they will chase that high indefinitely until they can recover from their addiction. Meth withdrawal is psychological in nature. The inevitable low that comes at the end of the extreme high induces deep depression, dysphoria and suicidal ideations. A meth user will associate using more meth as the solution to this low and thus the cycle continues.
Long-term addiction treatment is often needed to end a crystal meth addiction. Meth users in recovery may suffer from a sense of being unable to experience pleasure for a period of time. Although the road is difficult, meth addiction is a bizarre and nightmarish existence and recovery, once achieved, offers the promise of a better life. Inspire Recovery offers programs for rehabilitation from methamphetamine addiction. If you or someone you know is suffering from meth addiction, a serious and life-threatening illness, please reach out for help and begin to walk a path to recovery today.

When golfers think of classic course designers of the 20th century the name Robert Trent Jones Jr. appears near the top of virtually every list. From major championship venues like Hazeltine and Bellerive, Jones Jr. put his imprint on some of this country's greatest golf courses. His stamp might not be extensive in the state of Indiana but he did carve out a beauty in Prairie View Golf Club on the east side of Carmel.
Prairie View is located just west of Connor Prairie and the course has some 1800s characteristics mixed in with a modern design. Built in 1997, Prairie View is a target golf course with over 90 sand bunkers, five lakes and White River that serves as a boundary on several holes.
Putting the golf course aside, and this is one of the premier public venues in the entire state of Indiana, Prairie View has gone under some significant changes over the past few months. The Cohoat and O'Neal Management Corporation purchased the club earlier this summer. Doc O'Neal is a household name around the state of Indiana and his track record in the golf business is well documented.
Some immediate changes that new management has implemented includes lowering green fees to $75.00 (a $15.00 decrease) and the twilight rate to $45.00 (after 3:00 p.m. daily). There's no doubt in my mind that these won't be the last changes that Cohoat and O'Neal will make to Prairie View and this is a welcoming move for a course that is sometimes forgotten in Indiana's finest venues.
One element of Prairie View that separates them from some of the better public courses in Indiana is its practice area. A massive range, two putting greens and a chipping area is in itself impressive. However, Prairie View has an established Academy that's primary service is club fitting to a variety of golfers. The Academy utilizes the popular "Trackman" approach to club fitting with pro Darren Thomas and fitting specialist Pat Towle provide services for plays of all skill level.
With a golf course that can't be seen anywhere in the state of Indiana and management that is committed to matching the course itself, the time is now to head to Prairie View for one of the rare total package public venues.

I don't normally cook but this year my wife needed a break. Working in a retil store means she has to get up at 3am and drive 45 minutes out of town to her store adjust cameras and catch crooked people in the act before the crooked people get the jump on black Friday. This year it'd be a little different. The food would not taste the same, a given, because Daddy's at the wheel. I'm not proud because I did a great job, I'm prooud because I finally overcame my fear of large poultry. The bird was a challenge but not unsurmountable. With a little more practice the bird my even be delivered to our table with flavor come next year. Who knows? I may even be brave enough to try to rub it down before I put it in the stove. (I heard some people do this but I'm not all into birds like that!) Not knowing how long to apply heat to the beast or what amount of heat to apply I consulted the Wrox Turkey Reference. According to the TurkeyDocs one must thaw in cold water for about 8-10 hours. One must also preheat the cooking device to roughly 325 degrees. The temperature should remain consistent for the entire baking duration of the feathered animal. (Feathers should be removed prior to the application of heat.) Seasoning is optional though recommended for pleasurable consumption. Fresh vegetation can also be used for both adornment and stuffing. Lesson learned, the potatoes are strictly for adornment and are not to be placed inside the bird.
For a cook, I'm one heck of a programmer!

The Master
When martial arts master Chen Xiang refuses to join the armies of the Qing Prince, his mother and his students are seized. To save them, Chen has only one path: all-out war. I liked this movie. This movie tells a little of Choy Li Fut style story A History and Style Guide of Choy Li Fut Kung Fu – Bruce Lee is a martial arts hero to many. Muay Thai has already been proven to be a highly effective striking style. So when Lee speaks of Choy Li Fut in glowing terms relative to the Thai fighting art, such as he did in the book Between Wing Chun and Jeet Kune Do, he gives the kind of praise that can make an art famous. "Choy Li Fut is the most effective system that I've seen for fighting more than one person," said Lee. "[It] is one of the most difficult styles to attack and defend against. Choy Li Fut is the only style [of kung fu] that traveled to Thailand to fight the Thai boxers and hadn't lost." Ready to learn about Choy Li Fut now? Here is its story.

Louisiana Appellate Court Holds Claims-Made Policies Are Consistent with Louisiana Statute and Public Policy
A Louisiana appellate court has held that a claims-made policy does not cover claims first made outside of the policy period. The court concluded that claims-made policies place enforceable contractual limits on the risk insured and do not violate Louisiana public policy or a Louisiana statute that prohibits certain time limits on when a claim may be brought against an insurer. Guthrie v. Louisiana Med. Mut. Ins. Co., 2008 WL 373706 (La. Ct. App. Feb. 13, 2008).
An insurer issued a claims-made malpractice policy to a physician for a policy period ending June 20, 2004. The policy provided coverage for "any claim for damages filed during the term of this policy, based on professional services rendered . . . by the insured."
Survivors of a patient who died of complications from surgery filed a claim with the Louisiana Patient's Compensation Fund on July 19, 2004, alleging malpractice by the physician and wrongful death, and subsequently filed a lawsuit on May 16, 2006. The insurer denied coverage because the claim was first made in July 2004, after the expiration of the policy on June 20, 2004. The trial court granted summary judgment for the insurer on this ground.
On appeal, the plaintiffs argued that the claims-made policy was void because it violated La. Rev. Stat. § 22.629, which provided that insurance contracts cannot limit a right of action against the insurer to a period of less than one year from the time when the cause of action accrues. The court rejected this argument, concluding that claims-made policies do not limit the time in which a plaintiff may file suit following an alleged act of malpractice but instead place contractual limits on the risk insured. The court relied in part on the Louisiana Supreme Court's holding in Anderson v. Ichinose, 760 So. 2d 302 (La. 1999), that a claims-made policy does not violate Louisiana public policy.
The court noted that other appellate courts in Louisiana have come to the opposite conclusion and found that claims-made policies are inconsistent with the Louisiana statute. Among other contrary opinions from other circuits, the court cited Hood v. Cotter, 2007 WL 4554253 (La. Ct. App. Dec. 28, 2007), which was summarized in the February 2008 Executive Summary.

Archer Has Words For Papi [VIDEO]
One swing of the bat by David Ortiz was all it took for the Red Sox to get back in the win column with a 3-2 win over the Rays.With two men on in the top of the third inning David Ortiz drove a Chris Archer pitch over the left center field wall to give the Sox a three nothing lead. Tampa countered with two in the bottom of the inning but could not get any closer.
Allen Webster got the start and went the first 5.1 innings allowing 3 hits, 2 runs and 5 walks to get the win.
After the game Rays starter Chris Archer was not happy with the way Ortiz flipped his bat and jogged around the bases following his home run. Check out his comments below.

Welcome back, friends. For this offering on Retro Records we are going with an absolutely epic LP. The 1983 Masters of the Universe record produced by Kid Stuff. Not only that but this was released in two different versions. The more common album cover you see at the top of the post in addition to a phono picture disc.
A very big thanks to the T3 Universe Blog for the personal images of those stunning picture discs.
Now bear in mind by the end of 1982, the Masters of the Universe toy line had already been hugely popular. So it naturally made sense that the merchandising arm start to spread out. I ask you, what child of the early 80s wouldn't want to hear the adventures on Eternia? And Kid Stuff certainly ran with the early storylines of the series. In particular I mean the fantasy aspects of Masters of the Universe.
However this record was produced after the vintage DC Comics miniseries and classic Filmation series it seems.
As He-Man is no mere barbarian in the jungles of Eternia as presented in the minicomics that came with the toys. But the alter-ego of Prince Adam. On the other hand instead of visiting the Cave of Power to transform he holds aloft the Power Sword. Having said that though you won't hear Cringer or Battle Cat speaking or such on this record. In fact it's like Kid Stuff combined elements of all three versions for their story.
Did I forget to mention the first record includes a five minute Masters of the Universe theme song?
So pour yourself a bowl of your favorite cereal and join us as we listen to the adventures of the Masters of the Universe!

When Liverpool were drawn against FC Sion in Group B of the Europa League, there weren't many fans who had heard of them before.
Many thought Sion were another eastern European side who had been through umpteen qualifying stages to reach the groups. So, just who are FC Sion?
Sion is a small town in the south-west of Switzerland and has a population of just over 30,000. FC Sion were founded in 1909 by Robert Gilliard and the club prospered due to local involvement.
Apply to become a GMS writer by signing up and submitting a 250-word test article: https://gms.to/haveyoursay5
Despite never winning the Swiss Super League, they have triumphed twice in the country's second division and have won the Swiss Cup no less than 15 times, with only Grasshopper Club Zurich winning the tournament more.
Last Season
Whereas Swiss football fans are used to witnessing FC Basel dominating the domestic scene, Sion bucked that trend in the last campaign.
Christian Constantin's men only finished seventh in the Swiss League and were 33 points adrift of 2015 champions Basel.
However, Sion's strong cup heritage is woven into the club's history and they won the domestic cup for a third time in seven seasons.
They defeated FC Zurich 1-0 in the last four thanks to a Moussa Konate second-half strike to set up a clash Basel in the final.
RotBlau were heavy favourites heading into the match and their name was all but written on the trophy for and 11th time.
But, Sion produced one of the biggest shocks in Swiss football history and, through an inspired performance from Carlitos, ran away with the game 3-0.
Previous Meetings
Kopites will remember when Liverpool last faced Sion in a European competition. Almost 20 years ago, in the now-deceased European Cup Winners' Cup was the only time the two teams have met previously.
The Reds were easy winners of the second-round clash in 1996. Robbie Fowler and John Barnes were on the scoresheet in the 2-1 win in the first leg in Switzerland.
It was the return game at Anfield that will be remembered mostly. The game was a free-scoring affair from both sides - a typical performance under then-manager Roy Evans and supporters of both teams went home with an incredible value for money.
Liverpool ran out 6-3 winners but the travellers certainly did not embarrass themselves.
Star Player
Captain Vilmos Vanczak is Sion's most recognisable players to die-hard football fans. The 32-year-old has been with Sion since 2007 and racked up over 200 appearances playing at right or centre back.
Vanczak may be a defender but he will look to expose the frailties of Brendan Rodgers' defence and has netted over 30 times for his club.
He too has a wealth of experience on the international scene and has been capped 80 times for Hungary since making his debut in 2004 and will look to lead his side to a famous victory at Anfield on Thursday night.
The one play who Liverpool will certainly have to keep tags on is Moussa Konate. At just 22-years-old he has built a stellar reputation playing for Sion.
Konate has proved himself to be one of Europe's greatest young talents and netted 21 goals from 35 appearances for Sion.
He too has been an inspiration for Senegal and scored five times in ten matches for his country.
What are your score predictions for Liverpool vs FC Sion? Let us know in the comments section below!

Associated Press reporter Allen Breed is back with another religion-fueled story on Gov. Mark Sanford, leading candidate for South Carolina's worst husband. You sort of know the story's not going to be so hot when it begins as follows:
Each Sunday afternoon in May, Gov. Mark Sanford and his wife hosted five other couples at the executive mansion for a spiritual "boot camp." Topics discussed during the hour-and-a-half-long sessions included forgiveness and "not loving your wife as Christ loved the church."
I don't know for sure, of course, but I'm going to go out on a limb and say the topics discussed including how to love your wife as Christ loves the church, not how not to love your wife as Christ loves the Church.
The story is built largely around Warren "Cubby" Culbertson, a spiritual advisor who runs workshops for men and couples. It's not an awful story but it has that same "Christians in the Mist" thing that Breed's previous story -- the one that alleged the Christian idea of love is, um, 'cold.' Take this, for instance:
In an interview with The Associated Press this weekend at his Columbia office, just blocks from the State House, Culbertson said he believed his friend when he said that this was his only marital transgression. He thinks Sanford was simply caught off guard by "the power of darkness."
Culbertson also thinks that the only thing holding his friends' marriage together right now is "their vow to God."
"Because it's not feelings -- it's not emotions," Culbertson said, the smile fading from his tanned face. "For most Christians, at some point in your marriage, if you're married long enough, you do it because that's what we're called to do -- out of obedience instead of out of passion. And I think that's where Mark and Jenny are right now."
Putting "their vow to God" in quotes makes me chuckle. Are they really needed there? And the whole "smile fading from his tanned face" line. I mean, come on.
So after a comparison of what Culbertson teaches with some of the various religious speech used by Sanford, Breed brings in, I kid you not, "a Washington, D.C.-based body language and deception detection expert" who says she thinks Sanford is a liar. Okay . . .
But my favorite part is where there's a discussion of how surprising Sanford's cheating was:
Even Sanford's political enemies would concede that much.
Will Folks, a former Sanford spokesman who has been excoriating his old boss in his political blog, said sex and romance "never seemed to be things that were on the governor's radar." Although he has since reported on two other alleged dalliances, Folks said this passionate love affair is "100 percent inconsistent with everything I ever saw of the man."
"I honestly thought the guy was asexual," Folks said. "I am not kidding."
The man is married. With four children. Does Folks not understand what the word asexual means? Should we, perhaps, include someone who does understand the word? I know we're really working overtime in these AP stories to present the Christian view of love as cold, but this strikes me as just nonsensical. It's as if the only notion of "sexy time" that the culture has comes from Britney Spears and Borat. Memo to reporters: sex doesn't have to be base, illicit or videotaped in order to be sex.

Simon Clarke is the 10th rider to join GreenEdge, the former Australian under 23 champion leaving Astana after just one season.
Clarke has an established relationship with GreenEdge General Manager Shayne Bannan having spent six years at the Australian Institute of Sport and the 25-year-old explained that joining the project which is currently applying for a UCI ProTour licence was an "opportunity that couldn't be missed."
"The launch of this team has been a dream and a work in progress for Shayne for the last 20-years and having been part of his development program in the past, it's going to be great to be part of this dream coming true," he said.
"It's also a great honour to be part of a groundbreaking Australian team."
Clarke joined Astana for the 2011 season after his plans to join Cervelo Test Team fell through with its collapse. Racing in Belgium for only the second time in his career, Clarke's debut at the Tour of Flanders showed some really promising signs. Clarke was able to anticipate the jockeying for position on the Oude Kwaremont and made a daring move before the peloton hit the climb. He was joined by eventual second-place-getter Sylvain Chavanel (Quickstep) and quickly found himself in the lead group on the road.
While he ultimately finished 70th, it's efforts like that, that give him hope of more impressive performances in the spring with GreenEdge.
"Next year I hope to be able to be competitive in the big one day races, particularly the Ardennes classics, and to gain the experience of the Grand Tours – Italy, France or Spain," Clarke said.
Announced as part of the long list named Tuesday for the 2011 UCI Road World Championships, Bannan made mention of Clarke's turn at the 2009 worlds in the media statement announcing the Victorian's recruitment.
"At the 2009 UCI Road World Championships Simon was one of the guys with the job of protecting our team leaders, Cadel Evans and Simon Gerrans, and did a great job at such a young age in one of the hardest world championships in recent memory," Bannan said.
"There were a couple of times we thought he was done but then appeared at the front of the peloton with fresh water bottles for our leaders, with Cadel eventually winning the race and Simon finishing tenth. It's the sort of fighting spirit we want in the team and know he can deliver."
