The DEVELOP3D July/August workstation special edition is out now
The next issue of DEVELOP3D is out and we've gone all psychedelic on you for our workstation special edition – apologies if our cover hurts your eyes. We've got all manner of goodies – Top ten tips for tuning your workstation, choosing a graphics card for SolidWorks, Intel Xeon Nehalem workstation reviews and the rise of GPUs in simulation.
In keeping with our workstation theme, we also paid a visit to 3D mouse specialist, 3Dconnexion to see how it uses a finely balanced combination of CAD and rapid prototyping in the development of its latest SpacePilot Pro devices. Of course, we also have our usual smorgasbord of reviews and previews and this month Autodesk's long awaited Inventor Fusion finally gets a public airing as does a new web-based tool called Vuuch that co-ordinates design discussions directly inside your CAD application – and lots, lots more.

Apple iPhone goes 3D with NaviCAD
Here's a nice little story from Josh over at SolidSmack.com. He's been trying out the first 3D viewer app for the Apple iPhone – NaviCAD 3D – but has had some mixed experiences. I'm not entirely sold on the concept, particularly as it only currently works with Google 3D warehouse models, but it's an interesting tech demonstration, and it only costs $0.99 from iTunes.
Dassault Systemes recently previewed its own application for the iPhone that allows users to connect to the 3D data respository, view data and manipulate it in 3D.

Spatial to help CAD/CAM/CAE software developers take advantage of multiple CPU cores
Applications running Spatial's new ACIS thread technology should thrive on multi-core workstations, such as this beast of a machine from HP, the Xeon 5500 Series-based Z800
This is an interesting story for those wondering what to do with all the CPU cores they now have in their workstation. Spatial, who makes 3D development components for design, manufacturing and engineering applications, has added dedicated multi-threaded capabilities to its standard ACIS 3D modeller.
For those that don't know, ACIS sits at the heart of a wide range of CAD/CAM/CAE applications and while it's arguably not as popular as Parasolid from Siemens PLM (in terms of the mainstream applications it supports), there is a huge list of supported 3D apps, including IronCAD, SpaceClaim, Moldflow, EdgeCAM, and MSC.Software, to name but a few.
The technology in question is called ACIS thread-safe and according to Spatial, for compute-intensive operations, it delivers near linear performance scaling on multi-core systems. The company claims significant performance gains can be achieved when faceting, sectioning, and performing most ACIS modelling operations which work on multiple independent parts.
With typical software development cycles anywhere from 6-24 months, the tech has yet to appear in any mainstream applications. However, McMaster University has implemented ACIS thread-safe capabilities in both a machining tool path optimizer and a rapid prototyping wall thickness verification program, realizing near 3x speed-up on a quad core computer.
I find it extremely interesting that component builders, such as Spatial are developing multi-threaded code (N.B. Multi-threaded capabilities also exist in Parasolid). With quad core CPUs standard and eight core CPUs over the horizon it's good to see that developments are under way to use this additional processing power at the heart of our 3D software and not just in peripheral areas of simulation, rendering and CNC toolpath generation.

Broadband rates not up to speed
Published 28 July 2009
Posted by greg corke
Moving processor intensive CAE operations to The Cloud is no use whatsoever if our broadband connection is inconsistent. Image Copyright P R Yakin – Fotolia.com
The findings in this latest report from UK telecoms regulator, Ofcom, really annoyed me.
Many of us pay for high-bandwidth broadband connections but simply don't get what we pay for. It's a bit like buying a pint of beer and only being served a half. OK, so it's not, but you get my point.
Business connections are of course much better, and you get what you pay for, but even at our London office we sometimes get much less than our 16mbps business connection is supposed to offer and upload speed is consistently underwhelming. You only have to tot up the number of WiFi signals in the area to understand why – 20 at the last count from the comfort of my desk
I guess most engineering/design firms don't have central city addresses, but in the UK it's often the remote companies that suffer more simply because high-bandwidth connections aren't available. Regardless of location it's essential for all, even the smaller firms who can't afford dedicated lines, to have reliable and consistent connections. This is even more important when you consider the ever expanding size of the CAD/CAE datasets that we work with and the need for reliable connections will get even more critical if we move our processing to the Cloud or adopt a SaaS delivery system for our 3D software. These are technologies that many CAD/CAE developers are currently giving serious consideration to.
What's broadband like where you work/live? Are you paying for bandwidth you simply don't get? Does it hinder your adoption of Web-based technologies or, like me, do you simply like having a bit of a rant? I'd love to hear your thoughts/experiences.

Tuesday, 13 May 2014 10:42 PM
Ras Baraka, son of late militant poet and activist Amiri Baraka, declared victory Tuesday in the race to succeed Democratic U.S. Sen. Cory Booker as mayor of the state's largest city.
Baraka, who served on Newark's City Council, was a staunch critic of Booker, who stepped down last year to run for the Senate. He declared victory with nearly all districts counted and with a 54 percent to 46 percent lead over former state assistant attorney general Shavar Jeffries.
Baraka inherits a fiscal crisis that has left Newark in danger of being subject to state monitoring.
His supporters held a raucous celebration at a downtown hotel after he announced his victory.
Speaking to the crowd, Baraka wished his mother a happy Mother's Day and said he knew his father, who died in January, was "in the room tonight." He urged the crowd to "be the mayor" and work for positive change, a reference to one of his campaign slogans, "When I become mayor, we become mayor."
"We have a great city, an international city," he said. "Watch out, America, here comes Newark!"
Baraka and Jeffries are Democrats, but the election was nonpartisan. The race featured an expensive television advertising fight in recent weeks. State monitors were on hand to ensure a fair election.
Baraka, whose father extended the political debates of the civil rights era to the arts world, had the support of the labor-connected New Jersey Working Families organization, which paid for ads accusing Jeffries of being a pawn of moneyed outside interests.
Jeffries, a former Newark school board president who's now a law professor at Seton Hall University, had the support of the independent Newark First organization. His ads accused Baraka of voting to increase his pay while laying off police officers in Newark, where murders spiked to a 10-year high last year.
Luis Quintana, a municipal council official, has been serving as interim Newark mayor since Booker's departure. Booker won a special election to replace the late Democratic Sen. Frank Lautenberg.

The eagerly-anticipated Champions League last-16 tie is finely poised at 1-1 after a first leg in which Madrid dominated possession but United missed numerous chances to take a lead back to Old Trafford for the return in three weeks' time.
The visitors went ahead through Welbeck's 20th-minute header but Cristiano Ronaldo levelled matters 10 minutes later.
On the Welbeck goal, captain-for-the-night Ramos said: "He got the better of me but it was not a corner in the first place, that is certain. The margin for error in the Champions League is tiny."
Madrid boss Jose Mourinho also suggested an individual error had cost the nine-time champions, telling reporters: "If you see it on television you can see what happened.
"We train, we organise ourselves, we define each player's role, look at the videos to get to know our opponents' strengths at set pieces, but when you lose individual battles there is no level of organisation that can stop it."
Despite the setback, Madrid responded well with Ronaldo's leveller followed by long spells of domination.
But with United goalkeeper David De Gea in wonderful form they could not find a second goal, the former Atletico Madrid man making stunning stops to deny Fabio Coentrao and Sami Khedira, while a trademark Ronaldo free-kick whistled inches over the top.
Despite the fact United had even better opportunities to snatch it - Robin van Persie hitting the bar and seeing a mis-hit volley cleared off the line - Ramos remains confident Madrid can win in Manchester and advance to the quarter-finals.
"We know that we can win at Old Trafford," he said. "We dominated and had a great attitude and the result would have been different if we were more clinical.
"We would have liked to go there with another result but it was not to be.
"The team had a great match despite having lots of chances that we couldn't capitalise on. I have a bittersweet feeling but that's football. There are days that they go in and others that they don't.
"I'll take away with me the great attitude of all our players. We will go with the same mentality, believing that we can win.
"We realise that we have to go there to win, but we know that Manchester United are a great team and must be respected."
When asked if he felt a draw was a fair result, Mourinho said: "It doesn't exist. In football, only the result counts and nothing else.
"We could have scored more goals and they would have been deserved if we had done.
"Despite being a little out of context with the football that they played, they also had clear chances and could have won.
"The expectations and excitement are high for the second leg."

The GODORT update featured three speakers who described the role and impact of Non-governmental organizations (NGOs). NGOs play an important role in policy decisions and frequently interact with government entities at all levels. Speakers explored this issue from a librarian, NGO, and digital repository point of view. We discussed GODORT's role in promoting the collection and use of NGO information in libraries as well.
What is an NGO?
"an independent voluntary association of people acting together on a continuous basis, for some common purpose, other than achieving government office, making money or illegal activities."
- independent from any direct governmental control
- not a political party
- non-profit-making
- non-criminal (typically they are non-violent)
~ Peter Willets, What is a Non-governmental Organization Article for UNESCO Encyclopaedia

A panicky Saudi Arabia has now openly seized the banner of outspoken opposition to Iran across the Muslim world, surpassing even Washington's long and obsessive Iran-centered interpretation of Middle East events. Riyadh is perpetuating a false – and hence dangerously misleading – reading of key regional issues.
The Saudi Kingdom grows understandably fearful as "stable" autocratic rule in the region now faces the severest threats since the heyday of the Arab nationalist revolution half a century ago. The Saudi regime has chosen to single out Iran as the primary source of populist agitation and revolution. This in itself is an irony since Iran's own regime – a complex, messy, unpleasant, fractured, and opaque blend of autocracy and quasi-democratic institutions – faces threats from domestic forces that demand greater openness. But that's not the issue.
Iran has played its foreign policy cards shrewdly over the years, so that to most Middle Eastern publics, Tehran has displayed the kind of defiance of American dominance and its support for Israeli policies in the Palestinian territories that has always held street appeal – especially in states dominated by supine US-supported dictatorships. Polls indicate that Arab publics rate concern over potential Iranian nukes quite low.
Take the Palestinian resistance organization Hamas, which enjoys Iranian as well as Arab support. Hamas surely does not threaten Riyadh by dint of being a Sunni fundamentalist movement; its threat is that it is basically anti-monarchical, has called for armed resistance by Palestinians, and represents activist popular anti-autocratic forces at work. That is what unnerves the House of Saud: uncontrolled populism. Similarly, Riyadh also seeks to neutralize the dominant Shiite community in Lebanon led by Hezbollah that enjoys much popularity among Sunnis outside Lebanon for its stubborn resistance to Israeli military power.
Saudi Arabia's real problem with Iran: It's Shiite
So today Riyadh seeks to portray Iran as the heart of a new super-menace to Arab monarchy. Not so much because it is Persian, but above all because it is Shiite – a sect theologically detestable in Wahhabi, as well as Al Qaeda eyes. Wahhabis not only loathe Shiism, but they fear the internal "threat" of an oppressed Shiite minority in Saudi Arabia – only some 10 percent of the population — which must be kept under muzzle. More important, the oppressed Shiite population in Bahrain – an absolute majority – must never be allowed to gain power through elections, as happened in Iraq. Bahrain and Saudi Arabia are fighting the tides of history and are losing.

This talk of Shiism represents a dangerous diversion because in fact the future of the Middle East is not basically about sectarian power. Yes, key dispossessed minorities – Shiites in Iraq and Bahrain, Sunnis in Syria – will seek to right skewed political balances, and sectarian tensions inevitably develop out of that unsettling process. But instability develops most explosively when frozen autocracies burst open, leading to a scramble for a new political order. Nonetheless, some sectarian stasis will eventually emerge, as it has in the past. Most Arabs are more concerned with liberation from harsh rule, and with corruption, jobs, dignity, and national sovereignty. Reversion to sectarianism, or racism, is everywhere the ruling scoundrel's last ploy.
US must not follow Saudi lead
So Riyadh's desperate call to create a club of Sunni monarchs and allied Sunni states in South and East Asia to hold the line on Iran runs counter to what enlightened Washington policy should want in this region. Anti-Iranian policies do not create a meaningful framework for a new regional order. Egypt may have no special love for Iran, but its new regime now clearly sees hostility with an important state like Tehran to be counterproductive.
Turkey, too, sees greater benefit in trying to integrate Iran rather than engage in fruitless and truculent confrontation. No other gulf state is truly "threatened" by Iran, nor has there been any war with Iran in a very long time – except for a diplomatic dust-up over a few islands under the Shah. Only the oppressive minority regime of Bahrain is threatened with change and now typically clings to Riyadh in a desperate end game.
Saudi Arabia probably does not want actual war with Iran. But it hopes its extreme stance on Iran will help gain Washington's unconditional acquiescence for Riyadh's own anti-democracy stance. But should Washington go that route? If Washington wants a stable and sound future for the Middle East, it should not follow Riyadh's lead. Saudi Arabia will always sell its oil to the world – even if reduces its extravagant arms purchases from the US arms industry.
Riyadh may well succeed in buying off its own population from domestic revolt for some years to come. But the US should not be tying its star to a "flagship Saudi Arabia," even under the best of circumstances. And especially not now that Riyadh exploits extreme ideological and sectarian appeals in an effort to blunt the slow but inexorable, complex process of Arab Spring.

Y'know, Captain? If your worldview presumes "anyone powerful is a man"... well, anyone who looks powerful is going to look like a man to you.
EDIT McEdit: Just to be absolutely clear, my vehement disagreement here is in no way intended to minimize this person's terrible experiences, or anyone else's.
10 comments:
The post seems like a whole load of straw men and weasel words (who exactly makes those claims?) At least it ends with the disclaimer of not liking it but not going to tell anyone not to do it.
It makes the classic mistake of conflating consensual adult relationships with non-consensual power and hierarchy in society. What planet are these people living on? As if the world is controlled by male dominants, and everyone lives in D/S relationships? I wish!
She might as well pick on people having sex ("OMG it's so Patriarchal when the man is on top, but if the woman is on top, even if it's less Patriarchal, it's still fucking Patriarchal!")
There is a valid point I think about the way that with femdom, it's still the woman who is expected to dress up, but it ignores that this is a stereotype, and not something that everyone does. It is also simply a symptom of social gender roles as a whole - I don't see why people always pick on minorities like those into BDSM. And lastly, I'd say that the BDSM community is far more accepting of those who don't fit into social gender roles (e.g., I'm a male sub, and I'm the one who dresses up - I don't see why the domme should have to, unless he or she wants to), so why attack us?
I don't know if anyone claims that women being dominatrices is a way to change the power men have in politics; or if people complain about mainstream gender roles whilst supporting the stereotypical image of a dominatrix - as I say, it looks to me a case of building a straw man to attack all dominatrices.

Yup. I think what she's trying to counter is something like what I say here:
But it misses the point. Because when I say:
"But I really resent feminists -- feminists! -- telling me the power I claim consensually in the bedroom is a lie and a farce, when those same people would tell me that if Monkey and I switched, his power would suddenly become terrifyingly real.
Which is it, dammit?"
I'm not claiming anything about social roles in general, but rather pointing out that either the power in BDSM affects daily life or it does not. That I don't think it's possible for my power not to affect him, but his to shape my very life, at the same time. It doesn't work that way.

If my sexuality is geared towards domination, being a dominatrix is empowering for me. Reclaiming one's sexuality, regardless of what it looks like, is empowering. Rejecting or subverting society's expectations of female sexuality is empowering. And why is it assumed that every single dominant woman is a secret wish-fulfilment for a man, and thus just a tool of the patriarchy? I get off on this too.

"And why is it assumed that every single dominant woman is a secret wish-fulfilment for a man, and thus just a tool of the patriarchy?"
I could be wrong here, and I hope if the person I'm responding to finds this and I'm wrong, that she'll stop by and say so, but...
It seems to me to be based on a notion that sexual desire is somehow a man thing... not something women tend to just have, unless it's cultivated as some sort of piece of one's "woman-loving" politics.
I think of this (bad, IMO) theory as like the sun and moon: The sun makes light and the moon reflects it. So a "moon" (woman) who is too invested in a "sun" (man) can "reflect his light" (sometimes get sexually excited about what he does, because of his influence), but lacks a light of her own.
That's why I find the whole thing so bloody, dare I say it, antifeminist. Because it's based on rejecting what many actual women have to say.

I agree with emarkienna about the strawmen and weasel words.
Also, I do think it's rather sad that captainvanille is basing her view of BDSM in general on one abusive relationship she had when she was a teenager. I feel for her experience, I do- I was in a similar situation with the boy I dated in high school- but despite that, I would not want to make such hurtful generalizations about consensual activities between adults. I find it really patronizing when she says, "I'm not going to tell anyone not to do something but I will call them tools of the Patriarchy and insult their intelligence and free will."
- 13 April 2008 at 15:53
- Trinity said...
Yeah, I agree with you Linden Tea. Not only is an abusive relationship not something one can generalize from (we don't say there's something bad about het relationships because sadly impressively large minorities of them are abusive), but also...
things we do when we are teenagers involve a lot of mistakes. I don't say this to minimize the horror of rape, but only to say: trying to do something as complex as a D/s relationship in your teens is a recipe for disaster, even if you have the best of intentions.
Most teenagers just aren't at all ready for the kind of communication and level of upkeep a relationship like that requires, even if no warning bells are going off.

- Dw3t-Hthr said...
And why is it assumed that every single dominant woman is a secret wish-fulfilment for a man, and thus just a tool of the patriarchy?
Back to Figleaf's "no-sex class" again.
Madonnas don't have sex; their children, when they have them, are mystical gifts. Whores aren't real women. Thus, as there is no option for 'woman' other than 'madonna' or 'whore', no women are sexual. Magic!
- 13 April 2008 at 20:52
- Myca said...
Yeah, I think, just to echo what everyone else is saying, that the real crux of what's wrong with captainvanille's argument has to do with the assumption that in Mdom/Fsub BDSM, it's all about male pleasure and in Fdom/Msub BDSM, it's STILL all about male pleasure.
I have no doubt that examples could be found in which this were true, just as I have no doubt examples could be found in which the reverse were true, but to elevate either of these to "what BDSM is" seems foolish and myopic.

helping those who have discovered that owning this type
of "pet" is unfair to the animal, potentially dangerous and
far more difficult than they imagined.

CORTLAND, N.Y. – Buffalo State senior quarterback Casey Kacz (Amherst/Sweet Home) rushed for 118 yards and three scores and completed 19-of-29 passes for 226 yards and two touchdowns as Buffalo State held off a late Cortland rally to defeat the host Red Dragons, 41-28, in the season opener for both teams.
Cortland junior quarterback Tyler Augliano (Watertown), making his first collegiate start, connected on 23-of-47 passes for 400 yards and three touchdowns. He's only the third player in school history to pass for 400 or more yards in a game. The other two were John Simek (436 yards vs. Albany) in 1978 and J.J. Tutwiler (431 yards vs. Rowan) in 2001.
Kacz gained his 118 rushing yards on 17 carries. Junior Mike Doherty (Tonawanda/Kenmore East) caught five passes for 104 yards and a score.
Cortland junior tailback Dylan Peebles (Port Leyden/South Lewis), a transfer from Div. I Campbell University, rushed 14 times for 95 yards and a touchdown and caught three passes for 105 yards and a score. He ran 67 yards for a TD on the game's first play from scrimmage and caught a 74-yard TD pass from Augliano late in the third quarter.
Junior wide receiver John Babin (Warwick/Warwick Valley) finished with six catches for 193 yards – the fifth-highest single-game receiving total in Cortland history. He caught a 58-yard TD pass from Augliano with 15 seconds left in the first half. Sophomore Jon Mannix (East Northport/John H. Glenn) made a team-high 10 catches for 51 yards and sophomore DJ Spencer (Buffalo/Cleveland Hill) caught a TD pass for his lone reception of the contest.
Cortland took a 7-0 lead 20 seconds into the game when Peebles broke free around the left end and raced down the sideline for his 67-yard touchdown. Buffalo State, however, scored the next three touchdowns and led 21-7. Kacz threw a 3-yard TD pass to senior Caesarae Lewis (Newbern, AL/Sunshine) with 4:10 left in the first quarter, then scored on a 1-yard run early in the second quarter and on a 5-yard run with 6:25 left in the half.
Babin's 58-yard TD catch in the closing seconds of the half drew Cortland within 21-14, but the Bengals drove 69 yards for a TD on the opening possession of the third quarter. Kacz capped the drive with a 13-yard scoring run. Just over three minutes later, Kacz found Doherty open behind the secondary for a 37-yard TD pass and the Bengals led 35-14.
Late in the third quarter, Cortland faced a 3rd-and-18 from its own 26-yard line when Augliano pump-faked before throwing to a wide open Peebles for a 74-yard TD down the left sideline. Buffalo State drove to Cortland's 14-yard line on its next possession, mainly behind a Kacz 60-yard run, but a delay of game penalty followed, and Kacz was then intercepted by Red Dragon freshman cornerback Carson Lassiter (Madison, NJ) in the end zone to end the threat.
Cortland's ensuing drive stalled at the Buffalo State 40-yard line. The Red Dragons forced a three-and-out, but Kacz's quick-kick punt on 4th-and-2 from near midfield pinned Cortland at its own 3-yard line.
The Red Dragons, however, drove 97 yards on 14 plays to pull within seven with 6:49 left. The drive opened with a 41-yard pass from Augliano to Babin and finished with Spencer's 14-yard TD catch.
Cortland's defense held again on three plays, and the Red Dragons started their next drive at their own 31-yard line with 5:06 left. On 3rd-and-20 from the 21-yard line, Babin turned a crossing pattern into a 56-yard reception to the Bengals' 23-yard line. Three plays later, junior Jack Delahunty (East Northport/Northport) caught an 18-yard pass to the 7-yard line.
However, two incomplete passes followed, and on third down Buffalo State defensive back Chris Hall (Pasadena, CA/St. Francis) intercepted a pass in the end zone with 2:29 left to deny Cortland a potential tying TD pass.
Buffalo State later faced 3rd-and-1 from its own 29-yard line with 2:13 left and Kacz was stopped for a loss, but a personal foul face mask penalty gave the Bengals a first down. Buffalo State eventually punted with 15 seconds left. Cortland tried a lateral play after a completion to Babin, but the play eventually resulted in a fumble that Shaq Frederick (Brooklyn/Holy Cross) returned 25 yards for a score with no time left on the clock.
Mitchell Thomas (Buffalo/Sweet Home) led Buffalo State with nine tackles and Scott Koen (Oxnard, CA/Santa Clara) made 2.5 tackles for losses among his eight stops. Hall finished with seven tackles, an interception and two pass breakups.
For Cortland, sophomore safety Andre Green (Watertown/Indian River) made nine tackles, all solo. Junior Andrew Tolosi (Monroe/Monroe-Woodbury), who saw time at both safety and cornerback, added nine tackles, eight solo, and freshman linebacker Tristan Laurore (Jamaica/Boys & Girls) finished with nine tackles, two for losses. Sophomore linebacker Troy Beddoe (Endicott/Union-Endicott) recorded two of Cortland's three sacks.
Cortland is idle next week and will host William Paterson on Saturday, Sept. 21, at noon on C-Club Hall of Fame Weekend. Buffalo State hosts Brockport next Saturday at 2 p.m.

Washington, DC: A Solid Classic in Thunder Burger's Gothic Rock Dungeon
Thunder Burger
3056 M St. NW, Washington, D.C. 20007 (map); 202-333-2888, thunderburger.com
Cooking Method: Grilled
Short Order: A gothic rock dungeon that offers an eclectic burger selection, but serves an excellent no frills option
Want Fries with That? Twice cooked garlic Thunder Fries come with the burger and are quite tasty
Price: Thunder Burger, $12
Thunder Burger bills itself as an "edgy, rock & roll dining experience" and in some respects, that's exactly what it is. From neon pink highlights to a gothic rock dungeon aesthetic (think metal-studded leather and mythical creatures) and an assortment of non-standard burgers (like elk and bison), Thunder Burger puts in a lot of effort to deliver on edge. But none of that really matters if the eponymous burger isn't any good. Thankfully, Thunder Burger delivers a solid burger that's not all flash.
The signature Thunder Burger ($12) is an eight-ounce free-range patty made with a coarsely ground, 80/20 beef mix. The patty is thick, loosely packed, and has light, but distinctive charring. Ordered medium rare, it develops a great crust that nicely accents the juicy, pink center. The meat is well seasoned with an efficiently distributed fat content that boosts the flavor without becoming overly rich. It's served on a toasted sesame seed, challah bun that develops a satisfyingly crisp exterior, but with a soft and chewy interior. It's a fairly substantial bun, and the interesting choice of challah adds a bit of sweetness that complements the overall flavor.
The Thunder Burger comes with a large, single leaf of lettuce and remoulade sauce. Placing the lettuce under the patty is a nice touch that helps divert some of the juice away from the bun, keeping it from becoming a soggy mess, and the remoulade offers a subtle sweetness that balances the well salted meat. The tomato, which is one of the extra toppings that range from a selection of freebies (like grilled onions or roast peppers) to the more elaborate (like seared foie gras for an extra $5), was a little too thick and threatened to overwhelm the flavor profile near the center bites, but is normally of reasonable proportions. Chalk this one up to an off slice.
The finished product is an excellent burger that's presented with a deft simplicity that belies the somewhat overwrought presentation of the rest of Thunder Burger. You could easily opt for a bacon-wrapped boar burger, throw on a fried egg, and enjoy yourself thoroughly (even if your arteries object), but the inclusion of an eminently viable no frills option on the menu as the standard bearer nicely grounds Thunder Burger.
With each burger comes a small steel bucket of Thunder Fries. Twice cooked and seasoned with garlic sea salt, they're hot, crisp, and packed with flavor. The fries can be substituted with cranberry vinaigrette cole slaw or potato salad, but don't bother. The Thunder Fries' presentation is equally tasteful as its burger brethren and serves as a tasty companion. And as the proverbial cherry on top, Thunder Burger offers a great selection of a couple dozen, largely American, craft beers on tap and more in bottles to wash it all down.
If you're in the mood for a burger, any kind of burger, Thunder Burger's got you covered. The signature is as good as you're likely to get for $12 and there's plenty for you to experiment with if you've got the stomach and wallet for it (there's a Kobe burger for $23!).

Politics & Government
Latin American complaints over U.S. spying ignore their own wiretap programs
Several Latin American presidents have complained bitterly following recent revelations about U.S. electronic surveillance, but there's a bit of hypocrisy in some of their griping.
At least four Latin countries have requested, and received, U.S. help in setting up eavesdropping programs of their own, ostensibly designed to fight organized crime. But the programs are easily diverted to political ends, and with weak rule of law in parts of the region, wiretapping scandals erupt every few months.
The latest brouhaha occurred six weeks ago in Panama, where a leading presidential candidate complained of wiretapping by the government.
"All Panamanians know that illegal recordings are done by the government every day. The only party able to record and tap telephones is the state, not anyone else," said Juan Carlos Navarro, a center-left presidential candidate.
Panamanian President Ricardo Martinelli told Navarro to watch his mouth because some "beauts" were about to leak out showing how "the most corrupt man" in the nation seeks its presidency.
Some experts on Latin America say they believe wiretapping is probably widespread – and not just under authoritarian leaders, and is a reflection of political mistrust, lack of adherence to law and poor accountability.
"You know that old saying," said Michael Shifter of the Inter-American Dialogue, a Washington think tank. "In God we trust, in everyone else we spy."
Disclosures last month by The Guardian and The Washington Post of a vast U.S. electronic data-sweeping program, based on documents leaked by a former intelligence contractor, Edward Snowden, have sparked angry responses around the region.
President Enrique Pena Nieto said Wednesday that he'd asked "quite clearly" for Mexican diplomats to seek an explanation for the U.S. spying allegations, and, if proven true, "it would obviously be totally unacceptable."
Mexico is one of four Latin nations to receive sophisticated surveillance equipment, software and training from the United States in recent years. The other nations are Colombia, Panama and Paraguay.
Other Latin governments can easily obtain surveillance technology if they want it and Washington refuses to provide it.
"There are a lot of companies, especially Israeli ones, that offer the equipment," said Hiddekel Morrison, a telecommunications expert in Santo Domingo, capital of the Dominican Republic.
When Mexico needed help tracking down narcotics kingpins, the State Department awarded a contract in 2007 to a Melville, N.Y., company, Verint Systems Inc., to provide it with an interception system to monitor up to 60 simultaneous calls and record 25,000 hours of fixed-line or cellular calls.
The company's Mexico website says its technologies "permit the police forces, national security, intelligence and other government agencies to detect and investigate criminal and terrorist threats."
Last year, the State Department put out a request for new bids to update the surveillance system, requiring vendors to offer programs making "location tracking available on all 107 workstations" to pinpoint "phone calls, SMS messages, faxes, mails and chat rooms" made anywhere in Mexico.
The masses of U.S. diplomatic cables made public in 2011 by WikiLeaks show that U.S. diplomats are sometimes asked to set up or expand surveillance programs.
One such case occurred in Paraguay in early 2010. Officials under then-President Fernando Lugo asked U.S. Ambassador Liliana Ayalde to expand a wire-tapping program far beyond anti-narcotics cases. The U.S. Embassy balked.
"The ambassador made clear that the U.S. had no interest in involving itself in the intercept program if the potential existed for it to be abused for political gain, but confirmed U.S. interest in cooperating on an intercept program with safeguards, as long as it included counternarcotics," said the Feb. 18, 2010, cable, which carried Ayalde's name as its signature.
Paraguay subsequently went to Brazil for interception equipment.
Panama's Martinelli badgered the U.S. ambassador in his country to allow more widespread wiretapping, apparently to keep tabs on political opponents.
"I need help with tapping phones," Martinelli said in a text message to the ambassador there shortly after coming to office in 2009, one cable said.
At the time, U.S. officials were helping run a secret, court-sanctioned wiretap program in Panama known as "Operation Matador," which targeted drug traffickers.
"Martinelli's seeming fixation with wiretaps and his comments to ambassador during an Aug. 12 meeting demonstrate that he may be willing to set aside the rule of law in order to achieve his political and developmental goals," said another U.S. cable, labeled "secret."
Leaks of wiretapped calls made by Martinelli's opponents so riled the opposition Democratic Revolutionary Party in June that one of its leaders wrote to Secretary of State John Kerry and the foreign ministers of Israel, Colombia and Britain in June to ask if any of their countries had provided wiretapping equipment to Panama.
The U.S. government helped Colombia in the 1990s install and operate wiretapping equipment, specifically 32 machines made by Racom, an Iowa-based company. They were auctioned off a decade later, deemed obsolete, and ended up in private hands, the now-defunct Cambio magazine reported.
Scandals over leaks of telephone intercepts by Colombia's Department of Administrative Security, or DAS, grew so widespread in the last decade that suspicion of wiretaps rages to the point that some Colombians would trust the U.S. National Security Agency over their own government or other foreign powers.
"(It's) better than the Russians or the Chinese definitely. Not to mention what would happen if it were in the hands of the old DAS," columnist Daniel Pacheco ruminated this week in El Espectador, an online news site.
Last week, a former Colombian judicial investigator and two police officers were sentenced to eight-year jail terms for tapping the cellular phone calls of a former Supreme Court justice.
Both the current and immediate past Peruvian governments faced accusations of political wiretaps. The most serious was dubbed "Petrogate" and involved recordings of calls in 2008 that discussed oil concession kickback schemes.
Even national heroes have fretted publicly that their phone lines were bugged. Jefferson Perez, a long distance race walker who won Ecuador's only two Olympic medals (gold in 1996 and silver in 2008), complained in a tweet last year that "my telephone has just been intercepted." He said he heard a voice on the line saying, "Record him!" At the time, Perez was subject of talk that he would become more active in the political opposition.

A Guide to Companion Planting
Article written by Saturday6TM blogger Dave Townsend from Growing the Home Garden
When you think of vegetable gardening, the first thing that probably comes to mind is that juicy tomato picked fresh from the garden. Maybe it isn't the tomato at all that comes to mind, but rather the fresh garden greens like lettuce, spinach or chard. No matter which vegetable comes to mind, there are always challenges that present themselves in the garden each year. Pests, perhaps, are one of the most irritating aspects of vegetable gardening. It's a constant competition between Mother Nature and the gardener. Sometimes the gardener feels helpless and resorts to the chemical shelves of home improvement stores to deal with the insects, but there is a better way. There is a safer method to control pests and prevent them from eating your garden and it's called companion planting.
Companion planting is a simple technique that utilizes the beneficial aspects of herbs, flowers and other plantings to thwart pests that do damage to garden crops. Companion plants can also improve the flavor and yields of various vegetables in the garden. How does this work? It all depends on the companion plant and its properties. Some companion plants work by attracting beneficial insects that like to eat the pest insects. Fragrant plants mask the scent of the vegetables to prevent the pests from finding them and still other plants release natural chemicals that protect plants from damaging pests.
Let's examine a few awesome combinations for companion planting!
Tomatoes are my favorite vegetable from the garden and probably are the number one vegetable that gardeners grow. Yes, it really is a fruit, but that isn't important for our purposes today. Whiteflies and aphids like to suck on the leaves, hornworns can mow down a tomato plant in a few short days and soil pests like nematodes can cause devastating damage to roots. What companion plants can help? Basil and marigolds are two very good options. Basil's scent masks tomatoes from flies and other creatures and its flowers attract beneficial pollinators. Since I began using basil planting as a companion to my tomatoes, I haven't seen a tomato hornworm. Marigolds protect plants by repelling microscopic worms called nematodes that damage roots. You can plant marigolds near your tomato plants or use them as a border to effectively prevent nematode damage. The marigold scent is also a good deterrent for garden pests for everything from insects to rabbits!
Nasturtiums are another flower that helps with tomatoes, but are also good at helping squash and cucurbits. Aphids, squash bugs and whiteflies can all be repelled with nasturtiums. Nasturtiums can work very nicely in the garden as a groundcover planted around just about anything!
Chives and onions are good to plant as a general pest repellent around lettuce, peppers, tomatoes and other plants, but shouldn't be planted near legumes (beans and peas) as it can stunt their growth. If you have trouble with rabbits and deer, planting onions in with your vegetables may help reduce damage. Nothing is foolproof where these animals are concerned, but you can reduce their impact to some extent!
Planting flowers in and around your vegetables garden helps to encourage bees and pollinators to visit the garden. This is especially important for squash, zucchini, cucumber and cucurbits as they require insect pollination. Adding flowers like zinnias, sunflowers or others also makes your garden look pretty good!
If you plant dill, parsley, fennel, yarrow or other small flowering plants near your garden you will attract neat insects like the brachonid wasp. This parasitic wasp lays its eggs on unsuspecting hornworms which eventually hatch into larvae that burrow through the hornworm. If you have ever seen a big green hornworm covered in white oval shaped protrusions that look like rice, you've seen the larvae in action! Leave the caterpillar alone at this point to allow more beneficial insects to grow and attack future hornworms that may be coming for your tomato plants!
While I've mentioned some of the pest-repelling benefits of companion planting, there is another aspect just as cool. Companion plants can help each other to grow! Have you heard of the "Three Sisters" gardening method? In Three Sisters gardening, the cornstalk serves as a trellis or pole for the beans to climb and the squash is used as a groundcover. The beans will eventually return nitrogen to the soil as they decay, which is important because the corn used up a lot of nitrogen from the soil during its growth cycle. The squash groundcover will keep moisture in the soil and keep the soil temperature down in the summer which helps both the beans and corn.
As you can see, there's a good alternative to pesticides that is healthier and safer to use. Companion planting is a preemptive step that will reduce your pest problems before they begin. Remember that when you do use pesticides in the garden they kill the good bugs, as well as the bad. So instead, let's use nature's gifts while we are Growing The Home Garden!

Fort Larned will join some elite company in Breeders' Cup history today if he can duplicate last year's Classic victory at Santa Anita Park in the final race of his career.
The 5-year-old son of E Dubai would join Tiznow (2000-01) as the only horses to win the $5 million Classic twice, a feat not even the great Cigar and the magnificent Zenyatta could accomplish.
"I was talking to Jerry Bailey, who rode Cigar, and it was interesting listening to him about how tough it is to repeat, how many horses have come back and tried," said trainer Ian Wilkes, who has traveled a rocky road with Fort Larned this year.
"Cigar couldn't do it. Unbridled couldn't do it. It's a tough assignment and it's not going to be an easy feat."
The assignment was made all the more difficult when Fort Larned stumbled at the start of his first race this year in the Gulfstream Park Handicap on March 9, tossing jockey Brian Hernandez and running off. The mishap affected the horse's entire schedule.
Wilkes rushed him into the Oaklawn Handicap five weeks later and Fort Larned finished a badly beaten fifth. It wasn't until the Stephen Foster Handicap at Churchill Downs, which he won by 6 1/4 lengths, that he got his swag back.
"That stumble was the biggest hiccup in the year," Wilkes said. "It really changed the whole complexion of the year. I still believe if he doesn't stumble, he wins, I stay on my schedule and it's a different year altogether.
"But that's the adversity of it. When he stumbled, I tried to make up the race at Oaklawn and that was probably a bad decision on my part. The horse never gave me any indication how much it took out of him when he ran loose. So after that I had to regroup, get back to the Stephen Foster, and he showed what he can do."
A muscle strain kept Fort Larned out of the Woodward Stakes at Saratoga on Aug. 31 and Wilkes chose the inaugural Homecoming Classic on Sept. 28 as the horse's final prep for the Breeders' Cup.
He blew away five mostly undistinguished foes at Churchill Downs by 11/2 lengths, setting it up for his attempt at history today.
"It all gets down to the break," Wilkes said. "The break is the most important thing in this race, especially for speed horses. If I was a closer, the break is not very important, but as a speed horse that's the important thing and that will determine where the winnings are."
There's plenty of speed in the 1 1/4-mile race that will be run over the main track. Fort Larned, who went gate to wire to win last year's running at 9-1, figures as one of the pacesetters along with 8-5 favorite Game On Dude and Moreno.
Mucho Macho Man, who won the Awesome Again Stakes impressively at Santa Anita on Sept. 28, figures, along with the likes of Will Take Charge, Palace Malice and Flat Out, to be part of the brigade that will be closing in the stretch.
"It's a tough field," Wilkes said. "It's probably just as good as last year. The 3-year-olds in the race are probably a little better quality than last year. You've got a classic winner in here (Palace Malice) that went through the Triple Crown. You've got a horse (Will Take Charge) that's just getting good now, and then you've got the European factor. How good are those horses on the dirt? You just can't rule them out. And then you bring back four horses from last year's Classic and it's just as good."
Hernandez will ride Fort Larned — who's won 10 of 24 races lifetime for earnings of $4.1 million — for the 10th consecutive race.
Wilkes said he's confident in the jockey, who's maybe not as recognizable as Mike Smith, Javier Castellano or John Velazquez.
"If you come into this race and you question your rider, if you've got to give him a lot of instructions, then I've got the wrong rider," he said. "I have a lot of confidence in him. He knows the horse. He knows the horse's strength, his weakness.
"The thing that's been good is (success) hasn't gone to his head. He hasn't become a prima donna jockey or something like that. He's stayed very level-headed about it."
Fort Larned proved he enjoys Santa Anita last year. Wilkes hopes the love affair continues today.
"I hope he likes it again this year," he said.

NEW YORK >> Kings coach Darryl Sutter declined Monday to repeat his pre-Game 2 expectation that defenseman Robyn Regehr would play in Game 3 of the Stanley Cup Final for the first time since suffering a knee injury in Game 1 of the second-round series against the Ducks.
Sutter instead dodged the question when asked before Game 3 if he considered moving Regehr into the lineup, with the expectation that Matt Greene would be scratched. Regehr sat out for the 16th time since he was hurt on a pair of hard hits May 3 at Honda Center.
"We'll just do it as games go along, warmups go along, how guys feel," Sutter said.
Darryl being Darryl
Sutter has made a habit of not answering even the most straight-forward questions when the mood strikes him. He did it again before Game 3, although it could be argued he answered one question exactly as he wanted to during a post-morning skate session with reporters.
Steve Levy of ESPN asked Sutter, "What concerns you most about tonight's Game 3 here in New York?" Without pausing, without a trace of humor, Sutter responded, "I think the biggest concern would be that we're coming into Madison Square Garden and playing the New York Rangers."
When the laughter died for a moment, Sutter added, "Makes sense."
When it died again, he added, "It's logical."
More laughter followed, including from Levy, who clearly expected a more expansive answer from Sutter.
Great seats, buddy
Bob Miller, the Kings' longtime announcer, took a look around the renovated Madison Square Garden before the team's first regular-season game since the construction job was completed and didn't recognize the place. That was a good thing, thanks to numerous upgrades.
"In Madison Square Garden, before they renovated it, our broadcast position, in my opinion, was the worst in the league," Miller said. "It was a low angle and way back, and to see the game, really see the game, it was very difficult to pick up players coming off the bench and coming into the game.
"And I would actually do more of the play-by-play off the monitor in Madison Square Garden than in any other building because I couldn't see part of the time. So now they've renovated it and put bridges up, so you're closer to the ice and you have a really nice angle looking down at the ice.
Miller relayed his approval to Kings' fans on the air.
"I said, 'They've done a really nice job here in Madison Square Garden putting this bridge in so we have a nice view of the game,'" Miller recalled, smiling mischievously. "Then I said, 'I've been doing games here for 41 years and tonight's the first game I've ever seen.'"
— Elliott Teaford
Home-ice advantage?
The Rangers were hoping that returning to Madison Square Garden would help the 0-2 hole they dug in Los Angeles. But they lost 3-0 in Game 3 to fall to 0-3.
"We have to hold serve, and we know that," Rangers coach Alain Vigneault said before the game. "But we know our game and we know the way to play. When we do that, we're a good team.
"We have done that for the most part throughout this series. But even though we're playing hard and we're playing the right way, they're a great hockey team."

All of us have our own unique workout routine. For many, this means spending your lunches at the gym, working specific muscle groups or listening to your favorite songs. Music has become a necessary workout companion for most fitness nuts. And believe it or not, there are good reasons behind this phenomenon. Scientists have discovered a direct correlation between fast-paced music and a successful workout. The science can be broken down to explain that a song's BPM (beats per minute) is directly correlated with your heart rate and overall workout performance. Take some time to create the perfect workout playlist and improve your workouts.
Choose Your Workout
The key to putting together a perfect workout playlist lies in the type of exercise with which you intend to use it. You will want to do your best to match up your heart rate with the beat of the song. So, if you must use your favorite Janet Jackson song, make sure the BPM is appropriate for your specific workout.
I've listed the BPM range you'll want to use for the most common workouts below:
- 5k: 130-140 BPM
- 10k: 120-130 BPM
- Marathon: 100-130 BPM
Weight Training: 80-130 BPM
Yoga/Pilates: 60-90 BPM
Calculating BPM
There are several different ways to calculate the BPM of a song. The simplest being to just count manually. However, for less rhythm-savvy people such as myself, there are several programs available for download on your media player's app store and on the Internet that will automate the process for you. No matter the route you choose to find BPM of songs for your playlist, the end result should be the same.
If you do find that a song seems to be out of place, it probably is. Keep track of these songs, so you can remove them from your playlist when your workout is complete.
Before you attempt to build your own specialized workout playlist, I recommend using a sample playlist that can be found for free on the Internet. Using a pre-made playlist will give you a greater understanding of how the BPM of music can affect your workout. You'll know what to include and what to leave out based on your personal preferences.
Putting Together Your Playlist
Once you have made the decision to make your own specialized playlist, you will need to consider the order in which you place each song. Once again, this varies depending on the type of workout you would like to achieve. For the sake of simplicity, you can plan on putting the highest-tempo (BPM) songs in areas of your workout where you need a lift. This is especially important for those tough minutes near the end of your routine. These power songs will help raise your heart rate and give you the energy to push past fatigue to complete your workout.
There is no single playlist that will work for everyone. You are bound to use a lot of trial and error to find what songs work best for you in your playlist. Do not get frustrated! The hard work will pay off with a greater drive and heightened energy to complete your workouts and achieve your ultimate goals.
Reaping the Rewards
Exercising is not intended to be easy. If you're finding that it is, you're either doing it wrong or not pushing yourself. However, by creating a personalized workout playlist focused on BPM, you are opening the possibility of achieving a better overall workout experience. And who knows, you might actually start enjoying the hardest part of your exercise routine.
