CHARLOTTE � Less than two days after their 2013 season came to a screeching halt with Sunday�s 23-10 NFC semifinal loss to the San Francisco 49ers, Carolina Panthers general manager Dave Gettleman and coach Ron Rivera met with local media to discuss the past � and the future.
And while Gettleman and Rivera are confident that the future is bright, that future most certainly will mean changes � perhaps significant changes � to a roster that went 12-4 in the regular season and won the NFC South Division title.
The reason is quite simple, as Gettleman reminded media members several times on Tuesday.
�We�re still cap-challenged,� said Gettleman, who just completed his first season as the team�s top football official. �It�s not going away.�
Both Gettleman and his coach lauded the chemistry of the locker room that aided the success of the just-completed season.
And both are confident the team can get better in the future � or do something the Panthers haven�t ever been able to do.
�I�d rather be where we are now than where we were a year ago,� said Gettleman, who will try to craft a roster that can give Carolina back-to-back winning seasons and back-to-back playoff appearances for the first time next season.
Rivera was even more optimistic.
�I don�t think we�re that far away,� he said.
But the fiscal reality is that, with 21 unrestricted free agents, it�s a certainty some if not most of them won�t be back in July for training camp.
Gettleman said he, Rivera and the rest of the Panthers� player personnel staff will spend the next month reviewing last year and projecting the team�s future.
�The worst decisions you can make are emotional decisions,� Gettleman said. �We have to make business decisions.�
Among the unrestricted free agents are defensive end Greg Hardy, wide receivers Brandon LaFell and Ted Ginn, Jr., offensive linemen Jordan Gross, Geoff Hangartner and Travelle Wharton and defensive backs Mike Mitchell and Captain Munnerlyn and kicker Graham Gano.
Each of those aforementioned players were integral to the recent season�s success.
On assessing the team�s future, Gettleman offered this game plan:
�We have to look at next year, three years from now, five years from now. You have to identify the core and keep the core. That�s what you have to do.�
Gettleman says having 21 unrestricted free agents is hardly the best situation, but said it�s part of the current NFL salary structure.
Perhaps extending the contracts of other players would help alleviate the tight fiscal issues the Panthers face.
Could quarterback Cam Newton be a player that fits that description.
Gettleman said throughout Tuesday�s news conference that he wouldn�t specifically discuss any player�s contract situation.
But he was emphatic about how he felt about Newton.
�Do I think Cam is a franchise quarterback?� Gettleman said. �He proved it this year. He flat proved it.�
So, too, did Gettleman as a �franchise� general manager.
Inheriting a roster that was $16 million over the NFL salary cap before last season, Gettleman signed players that Ron Rivera fashioned into the NFC South Division champions.
Doing it again may be a more daunting challenge � and will certainly involve losing some talented players.

Compounding the outcry around Lululemon's hypodermic-laced Brahmacharya shopping totes is a blog post by Lulu employee Sandy Wei, who observes that without Brahmacharya, she'd overeat, play with puppies, take selfies, indulge in excess social media, and be in unhealthy relationships. Wei defines Brahamacharya as moderation, a casual definition shared by many modern schools of yoga. She concludes, "If you catch me at the grocery store staring at a bag of chips it's because that's the new me battling with myself, making choices and practicing Brahmacharya."
Some have expressed outrage that the "original" definition of this yama, celibacy, or "channeling one's sexual energy towards union with the divine … traditionally, the ultimate goal of yoga," has been bastardized and appropriated to sell "candy-colored sports bras." Fair enough! Yet is that what Brahmacharya is? And has this concept been appropriated any more or less than other parts of yoga—for example, asana—in the west?
In The Heart of Yoga, T.K.V. Desikachar defines Brahmacharya as "movement toward the essential [truth]." The word's etymology is comprised of the root car, or "to move," and the word brahma, referring to "truth … in terms of the one essential truth." The modern conflation of this term with moderation, or self-control, is thus overly simplistic. Desikachar notes that while this term has mostly been used in the sense of abstinence, it does not refer to total control or abstention from sexual (or other activities). Rather, Brahmacharya advocates "responsible behavior with respect to our goal of moving toward the truth." What, exactly, is meant by "truth"?
Desikachar refrains from equating truth with the divine, instead emphasizing the accessibility of yoga for those of all religious/spiritual traditions. This segues well with modern yoga culture's propensity for glossing over yoga's spiritual origins. Yet in B.K.S. Iyengar's Light on Yoga, asana's sole intention is described as rendering the body "a fit vehicle for the spirit … [the yogi's] life and all its activities are part of the divine action in nature." The "divine" can be a dirty word in modern yoga, which works hard to scrub itself of linkages to Hinduism and brand itself as practice for the every man.
Whether defined as movement towards god, the divine, or truth, Brahmacharya's trajectory can be circuitous and non-linear. Sometimes great suffering or over-indulgence may instigate the first taste or knowledge of truth. Further, we may successfully "control" ourselves and practice moderation only to binge on the forbidden. Yet this too, and perhaps this especially, can move us towards truth if we sustain compassionate and non-judgmental moment-to-moment awareness. For without these extremes, how could we feel into and experience their opposites? The lineage of tantra rajanaka posits that the path toward truth bears no allegiance to light or dark; we are invited to dance with both.
For me, Wei's "inner battle" appears more characteristic of our cultural obsession with self-control than Brahmacharya. As a tantric practitioner, this yama is not solely about restraint, but allowing the full spectrum of life to facilitate movement towards truth. Thus, after an over-indulgence or foray into darkness, I observe consequential shifts in my body, heart, and energy, which invariably rekindle my thirst for prana (divine life force).
How do you define Brahmacharya or apply this yama in your life?

A two sentence post on....the spring rotation battle
But who among us wouldn't be just a little more excited to see one of the young lefties, Cecil or Mills, head north with the big club?
18 comments:
- Tony said...
Even with Clement joining the rotation, they're still a man short, so...
Halladay/Litsch/Jansen/Clement/Mills, anyone?
- March 14, 2009 at 3:09 PM
- Lloyd the Barber said...
David Purcey is pretty much a sure thing
- March 14, 2009 at 3:42 PM
- Ian H. said...
Don't count out Scotty Richmond just yet!
- March 14, 2009 at 3:44 PM
- Leavitt Family said...
AAA Cecil/Mills/Romero/Richmond/Ray
IR Marcum + McGowan
Depth looks pretty good to me I would love to see a young pitching for young hitting trade pulled off. A young 3B is what we need.
- March 14, 2009 at 3:51 PM
Second sentence seems more like a sentence fragment.
I noticed Ray pitched another inning today. Could we assume these are his "throwing day" appearances and that he's being stretched out to start in minor league camp?
I'm not sure we've seen Davis Romero a Jays game yet.
- March 14, 2009 at 4:16 PM
- Tao of Stieb said...
Somewhere, way back when, we speculated that Ray could be the surprise of this year...still worth keeping an eye on that dude.
- March 14, 2009 at 5:08 PM
- Andy Mc said...
Doc: 205 IP, 21-6, 2.88 ERA
Litsch: 190 IP, 15-15, 4.11 ERA
Purcey: 175 IP, 14-11, 4.10 ERA
Janssen: 160 IP, 12-13, 4.25 ERA
Cecil: 150 IP, 14-12, 3.65 ERA
Mills: 30 IP, 3-2, 3.95 ERA
Richmond:30 IP, 3-3, 4.65 ERA
Bullpen: 3.45 ERA
Reasonable predictions, IMO. 85+ wins. Maybe 90. This is a very good rotation, as long as Litsch and Purcey don't crash.
Even if they only win 75-80 games this year, it will be very interesting baseball. Good times ahead at the Dome.
- March 14, 2009 at 5:39 PM
- Joanna said...
instead of saying Manny or AJ...I'm just going to say Pedro.
That is all.
- March 14, 2009 at 6:09 PM
- Colin said...
Reasonable, assuming nobody gets injured, which is a huge assumption. I also think your predictions for Cecil are a little lofty for his first year.
Still, I don't think your team win expectations are unreasonable.
- March 14, 2009 at 6:11 PM
And I suppose Vernon Wells will hit 40 HRs, Rios will go 30-30, and JP Arencibia will outhit Matt Wieters? Be reasonable. There's no way ALL of those things happen. Halladay might post a season like that, Litsch might not come back to earth, Janssen might not implode as a starter, Cecil might do his best David Price impersonation, and Purcey might impress, but not all of them.
I think the Jays will be lucky to crack 80 wins with their rotation, sadly. It's going to be 2010 or bust.
- March 14, 2009 at 7:08 PM
- Tony said...
Oh, right, Purcey. Well, in that case, I say stick Mills/Cecil in Vegas and wait for Clement to flame out.
- March 14, 2009 at 7:22 PM
- eyebleaf said...
Mills and Cecil in Vegas.
Even though we're winning the pennant this year, 2010 looks like it is still the focus.
- March 14, 2009 at 7:40 PM
- Andy Mc said...
"And I suppose Vernon Wells will hit 40 HRs, Rios will go 30-30, and JP Arencibia will outhit Matt Wieters?"
Believe the Madness '09
- March 14, 2009 at 8:04 PM
- MK Piatkowski said...
I'm confused. Didn't they decide to leave Janssen in the pen?
- March 15, 2009 at 12:37 AM
- eyebleaf said...
Andy, that's exactly the type of shit I'm talking about.
Vernon's going to jack 33 this year, and Rios will be 30-30.
It's going to be epic.
- March 15, 2009 at 3:05 AM
- Torgen said...
Cito confused Janssen and Accardo. That's where all the Jannsen in the pen, Accardo starting claptrap came from. And a 4.11 ERA for Litsch would be a crash.
- March 15, 2009 at 3:56 AM
- Clint said...
Well the starter race has been narrowed down, on Bastian's twitter page he said Cecil has been returned to the minors camp and Maroth has been given the option of getting an unconditional release or heading to minors camp.
- March 15, 2009 at 10:44 AM
Janssen, Mills, Clement & Richmond battle for two spots behind Doc, Jesse, and Purcey.

Results of focus groups conducted as part the AARP Public Policy Institute's No Longer Home Alone video project, supported evidence that family caregivers aren't given the information they need to manage the complex care regimens of family members.

Choosing a healthy diet is an important part of maintaining the overall well-being of family caregivers and those they care for. This video provides tips and offers meal suggestions that are cost effective and easy to prepare at home.
It is often necessary to modify meal preparation when caring for someone with conditions such as high blood pressure, congestive heart failure, and kidney disease. Reducing sodium from salt is a key element to that preparation. This video offers suggestions on ways to make healthy lower-sodium meals, using spices that also taste great.
So much is at stake when nutritional status is impaired and there are so many interventions that can you can make to reduce this problem that affects quality of life and cost and quality of care for older adults.
Do you know the half life of serum albumin and how dated its reflection on nutritional status might be compared to other visceral proteins?
What can you teach families and patients to increase the quality of their nutritional intake in the home setting?
How many times have you included a can of Ensure with a meal, or an hour or so before a meal, and didn't think about how that would affect one's appetite for "real" food?
Have you ever thought about how your behavior and the eating environment might be adapted to improve mood, prompt appetite and increase food intake?
Drs. Rose Ann DiMaria and Elaine Amella outline steps you can take to better assess nutritional status and provide cost-effective and practical interventions you can implement in your practice to improve the nutritional status of older adults.
Would you believe that it is possible to maintain urinary continence among residents with end-stage dementia? The author of the article on which this program is based can attest to it.
Most practitioners have mistaken ideas about the inevitability of urinary incontinence as we age. That notion extends to the general public and is reinforced by advertisements for incontinence pads. However, research shows that urinary incontinence is treatable, often without pharmacologic intervention, especially if assessments are routinely made by registered nurses and behavioral interventions implemented.
This program outlines the myths and the science related to urinary incontinence, and steps you can take to assess, improve and maintain continence among your client population. The 60 minute program features interviews with Dr. Specht, nurses working in long-term care settings, a physical therapist, and a resident with urinary incontinence.
Staffing is, quite possibly, one of the most talked-about topics in health care. This program will provide you with important advice--whether your concerns revolve around the liabilities of insufficient staffing; steps to reduce these liabilities and improve your staffing sufficiency; or what the research says about the relationship between nurse staffing and the quality and cost of care.
Staffing Matters: Liability, Research, and Patient Outcomes provides further evidence of the critical link between nurse staffing and safety and quality of care and guides viewers in short and long-term strategies to protect patients and caregivers.
Stepping up to a water fountain, opening a can of soda, or pouring a glass of a favorite beverage, may seem effortless to you. For many older adults, a range of complicating factors make what is effortless for you, unlikely or impossible for them.
Learn how to make hydration an integral component of all patient interactions and social activities. This program provides viewers with simple steps you can take to improve hydration among older adults, and reduce many of the associated problems including UTIs and pressure ulcers.
As we age, so do our eyes. The resulting changes can put older adults at risk for injury; limit participation in favorite activities; cause increased sensitivity to light and glare; and ultimately limit independence. However, in many older adults with "low vision" the problems are not so obvious to others—until we take a closer look and better understand the nature and extent of the problem.
However, there are many simple interventions and enhanced technologies available to maximize vision and function. This 30-minute program provides viewers with a broad range of tools and strategies to enhance safety and maximize independence, and describes services, tools, and options available for those with vision loss.

The Tigers took jumped out to an early 3-0 lead in the first inning, but Coker would not be held down, scoring three runs of their own in the bottom of half of the inning. The Cobras added a run in the third and two more in the fifth to take a 6-3 lead. Benedict cut the lead to a run, scoring two in the top of the sixth, fortunately for Coker they added three more runs in the bottom of the sixth, giving them a 9-5 lead.
The Cobra's Jayson Clarke (5-5) earned the win, coming on in the second inning, throwing two innings, allowing no runs and one hit.
Benedict pitcher Antonio Lucas took the loss throwing six innings, allowing six runs on eight hits, while striking out five.
For Coker, Nic Fletcher was 3-for-4 with a triple, three RBIs and two runs scored, while Ben Davidson was 2-for-3 with two doubles and an RBI.
Benedict was led by Dawan Browning, who was 2-for-4 with an RBI and a run scored and Nate Caldwell was also 2-for-4.

MarkItUp necesitaba un nuevo diseño de logotipo y lanzó un concurso de diseño en 99designs.
Un ganador ha sido elegido entre 216 diseños de 69 diseñadores freelance.
Mark It Up
We're a charity - worldwide - that helps build classrooms, provide stationery, employs teachers and puts children in schools to help make this world a better place. We think education will help change the world.
We're small but we help out people all over the world - mostly in Africa, South America and Asia.
We like to have fun, keep things informal and do the best we can to help children and communities on super (SUPER) tight budgets. :)
Well - our website is our main advertising 'thingy' so it's go to work there. But we'd like a logo that combines the name 'Mark It Up' with a little picture or icon.
Ultimately we want people to know who we are by the icon as well as the words. Does that make sense?
A good example would be the Red Cross. People know them by the actual 'Red Cross' as much as the words 'Red Cross'.
We'd like to be able to add our little logo to small things and use the words and icon on bigger spaces. Hope that makes some sense.
So we need:
A logo that works for webpages (at the top like a small banner)
A logo that includes both words (Mark It Up) and an icon
We're worldwide so a picture of Africa wouldn't really work as we're bigger than one region
We were thinking icon on the left or right of the words so that we can crop out the words if we need to - we don't want the icon and the words to overlap because then we can't separate them
However ...
Please feel free to be very creative and different - we're all for "unique-ness".
Hopefully this contest is a little fun - apart from wanting an icon and words, we're pretty open to any ideas you might have. ;)

The app is popular, with thousands signed up just two days after its release.
"There's been a lot of positive feedback — many are excited about the app and it's more convenient for them," said acting General Manager Jonathan Davis.
Developed by the British mobile-ticketing company Masabi, the app, is currently only available to commuters who use lines originating at North Station. Davis said the app is a more cost-effective alternative to installing more ticket vending machines.
The app is free to download on Android and iPhone devices. A user inputs credit card information to buy a ticket. The ticket is displayed on the phone in black and white until the user presses the "activate" button when the conductor nears. Then the ticket will be rendered in color for a limited time before the ticket expires.
Conductors also like the new ticket. "We worked with them from the beginning and heard positive feedback from them, too, during that process," Davis said.
Only single-ride and 10-ride passes are currently available on the app. Davis hopes that monthly passes will be offered on the app by sometime in January and that riders who are part of corporate pass programs will also be able to use the app in the future.
"We're waiting to work out the app with workplaces and schools," Davis said. "The corporate program has a few more hurdles before it can be included."
Commuters who take trains from South Station and ride harbor ferries can expect to see the app deployed in December, Davis said. A BlackBerry application is also in the works.

Does anyone know a source for new or used [but in good condition] time-lapse video recorders? I need one for new Plant Biology lab projects and research I want to implement but have found only a fawned they were priced beyond our budget. I need the type that could record plant growth responses such as seed germination, tropisms, pollen tube growth, etc. I would buy one with my own money, if it were affordable, just to have one and bring a new and dynamic experience to the students. Along this line, is there a clearing-house for used or no longer needed lab and teaching equipment? Maybe an on-line "swap list" , registry for large-university or research company willing- to-donate-to-smaller [private] colleges" [great tax write-off CEO's!]? I have heard from friends in industry and private business sector of instruments they upgraded, but either junked to make space, or store forever [and never to use again]. They've commented, "Gee, I wish we had known you needed one-we just bought five and scrapped three old ones!" How about a trading web site to post material to sell, donate, swap, along with a "need to obtain" list? Someone out there ought to be clever enough to get one going! Thanks.

Homeownership Education
Problems with IHCDA U
Refund of reservation fee
1. I am interested in participating in one of the IHCDA homeownership programs but I am not sure my credit score is acceptable. What are IHCDA's credit guidelines?
The only credit guideline IHCDA has in place is what the borrower's minimum credit score must be in order for the lender to submit an eligible loan to IHCDA. For Next Home, the credit score is a minimum of 660. IHCDA does not credit underwrite and it will be the determination of the participating lender on your ability to afford a home through your income, job stability and credit.
If you have credit issues and are looking to receive credit counseling, please visit HUD for a list of certified counselors in your area.
2. What are the programs Acquisition and Income Limits? How do I read the spreadsheet?
Acquisition and program income limits differ by county and household size. Keep in mind that all limits vary by program. Please download the correct limits for your program of interest.
20xx Acquisition & Income Limits - Locate the county you are anticipating residing in. To the left of the horizontal dotted line, you can find the acquisition and income (depending on family size) limits for the MCC program.
20xx Next Home Income Limits - Locate the county you are anticipating residing in. To the right of the horizontal dotted line, you can find the income limits (depending on family size) for the Next Home program. An acquisition limits listed for each county on the Next Home spreadsheet, however at this time Next Home does not have any acquisition limit restrictions.
Regardless of the program you choose, the purchase price of your home cannot exceed the acquisition limit and the total household income, including anyone over the age of 18, cannot exceed the income limit.
The list of limits can be found here.
3. What types of income would be used when trying to qualify for an IHCDA program?
A lender might only consider a borrower's W-2 income to qualify for a mortgage. However, IHCDA underwriters must look at all type of income coming into the household from all working individuals over the age of 18. Examples of the different sources of income IHCDA reviews are W-2 wages (full-time & part-time), shift differentials, overtime, bonus pay, gain shares, seasonal income, child support/alimony, tips, social security, IRA/pensions and interest. Other forms of income may apply.
IHCDA calculates current gross income annualized over a 12-month period to arrive at an annual figure. If you have a question regarding the type of income you receive and how it would be counted, please ask the participating lender of your choice.
4. Should I obtain a home inspection?
It is strongly encouraged that each homebuyer obtains a private home inspection. IHCDA does not regulate this requirement nor is it a stipulation on our current programs offered.
5. I received down payment assistance through an IHCDA program and am looking to now refinance or sell my home. What are my affordability stipulations and how can I request a payoff quote?
Depending on the program you obtained a 2nd mortgage through will determine your affordability period. Please review your IHCDA loan documents or contact IHCDA to discuss the stipulations of your loan.
At this time, IHCDA does not subordinate. Refinancing or selling your mortgage will trigger a payoff due to IHCDA, if you are still within your affordability period. Obtaining an actual payoff amount can be done through your title company and/or lender who is assisting you in refinancing or selling your home.
6. My MCC loan has closed but I have not yet received my MCC Certificate. How do I obtain the certificate?
First, you will need to check with your lender to determine if the loan closed correctly with IHCDA and a certificate was eligible to be issued. If a certificate was issued, IHCDA also provides your lender with a copy. If the lender cannot produce you a copy of your certificate, your next course of action would be to contact IHCDA to obtain a copy. At that time, IHCDA would mail one out to you.
7. I have recently refinanced my MCC Certificate and would like to continue my benefit of the tax credit. How do I reissue my MCC?
Click here and visit the Mortgage Credit Certificate section to download the MCC Re-Issuance Affidavit. Fully complete the affidavit and mail IHCDA the affidavit, required documentation and the fee of $50.00 to reissue the MCC certificate. Please note IHCDA does not accept personal checks. Once all information is received a reissued certificate will be mailed out to you within 2-3 weeks.
8. My lender stated I had to obtain homeownership education counseling in order to participate in IHCDA's programs. Where do I register for counseling and how much does it cost?
For the majority of IHCDA's programs homebuyer education is not required. It is IHCDA's goal to ensure each homebuyer is well prepared in understanding and taking on the responsibility of becoming a homeowner. IHCDA has an online training course, known as Framework, for our potential homebuyers. Each borrower on the loan must sit down and take the entire course in order to qualify for our programs. At the end of the course a certificate, with your name on it, will be presented to you to be provided to your lender. To register for the course, please click here and visit the Registration screen.
9. How do I obtain my certificate from Framework once I have completed the online homebuyer education course?
Click here to reach additional FAQ's on how to obtain a copy of your certificate as well as other login and password issues.
10. My loan was terminated with IHCDA and it was explained to me that I should receive a refund from the reservation fee paid. How do I check status or obtain my refund?
You will need to contact your lender. All refunds are sent directly to the lender, by IHCDA, and then it is the responsibility of the lender to issue the refund out to the borrower.

Loretta Lynn Celebrates 50 Years at the Grand Ole Opry
In 1962, Loretta Lynn was inducted into the Grand Ole Opry, just two years after her debut on the famous Nashville stage. On Tuesday night (Sept. 25), the iconic country singer celebrated the 50th anniversary of her induction with a commemorative show.
Lynn's sister, Crystal Gayle, Lee Ann Womack, Miranda Lambert and Pistol Annies were amongst the stars that gathered to play tributes to the famous 'Coal Miner's Daughter' at the show.
"When they put me on the 'Grand Ole Opry' I was so nervous I don't remember anything other than patting my foot to the songs," Lynn said (quote according to The Tennessean). "I get so nervous any time I go on anywhere, but the 'Grand Ole Opry' is different. I think any Grand Ole Opry member will say that. When you go on the 'Opry' it's absolutely a different feeling, and it's something that you never feel again."
Lynn attended the event in a gold sequined floor-length gown. She took her seat in the front row in time to hear Womack's rendition of 'I Know How,' and see her sister sing 'Please Help Me I'm Falling (in Love With You),' 'Don't Come Home A' Drinkin' (With Lovin' on Your Mind),' and 'Don't It Make My Brown Eyes Blue.'
Gayle told the crowd that being present for her sister's 50th anniversary celebration, "means more to me than I think a lot of people would think."
"I've been with her for those 50 years from being there when she first started out," she added. "I've seen all of the ups and the downs and the bumps in the road and the highlights … she is a great sister."
When Lambert took the stage, she was also overcome with emotion. She tipped her hat to Lynn and called the iconic country singer her reason for "standing there." Of course, Lambert couldn't cry all night long. She played a few solo sangs and then sang with Pistol Annies.
A natural performer, Lynn couldn't let all of those young country stars take the stage without contributing her own performance to the evening. She closed out the night by playing -- you guessed it --' Coal Miner's Daughter.'

I'm a "freebie-sucker" because my income doesn't allow me to purchase software for which I find acceptable freeware alternatives? Jeez, first you call me a cheapskate, and now this...
I'm lazy because I can't afford the latest whiz-bang constantly slung at me by game magazine advertisements?
What does the structure of a filesystem and disk mount points have to do with the amount of your available free time?If you're talking about setting up system parameters and application preferences that you're unfamiliar with, fine, yes, that's going to take some time.Windows requires babysitting as well, most people are just much more familiar with the environment and the process, which translates to "faster".
Dude, you've thrown this gauntlet down before and I've thrown it right back at you but you obviously didn't catch it.There are MANY legitimate reasons why NOT to write games for Linux, but it HAS NOW BEEN PROVEN that profit (or lack thereof) is NOT one of them.
Windows users were sharing MP3s and cracked software before Linux even had a decent desktop.Your insinuation is illogical at best and malicious at worst.
I'm sure you are, especially if you're a half-decent system administrator, which I'm assuming is true.Personally, I've never felt more in control of a computer than the day I fully grasped the implications of running Linux instead of Windows.
However, I cannot stand by the perception that developing for Linux with commercial intent is inherently a losing proposition because "Linux users will not pay for software".
In fact, why not do as others have and just try developing a commercial software project that is cross-platform; something that fills a need for Linux users as well as Windows and Mac.
For small biz/individual developer, it's very hard to select library that is cross-platform and gets things going quickly. QT is free but there is licensing issue. Java/Mono(for now) are not good options for commercial apps over long term is what i think, which many of you may disagree. -mahesh2k (January 02, 2011, 10:16 PM)
I think it's too risky to spend time on device apps with mono, i doubt if they even exist for symbian and maemo/android. Problem with QT is that for entry level programmers they either need to port it under GPL or pay for license(which is huge for individual developer), which restricts many solo-dev commercial apps. Thanks for the link, i'll take a look at qt4dotnet. -mahesh2k (January 02, 2011, 10:52 PM)
With Qt it's my understanding that you can just link to the Qt DLL libraries and, as long as you contribute any Qt modifications back, then your application itself doesn't need to be OS/GPL. I'm actually looking into this pretty seriously as an app I'm involved with may be ported within the next year, so I hope this is the case. - Oshyan-JavaJones (January 03, 2011, 01:29 AM)
Commercial License fee charged LGPL No license fee GPL No license fee
I'm in full agreement that it is, at the very least, rude to ask a commercial developer (small or large) to release their hard-fought work for free.-Edvard (January 03, 2011, 09:57 PM)
I'm in full agreement that it is, at the very least, rude to ask a commercial developer (small or large) to release their hard-fought work for free.-Edvard (January 03, 2011, 09:57 PM)I disagree on general free market principles. In a working free market it is the job of producers to maximize their profits and it's the job of consumers to get the best product for their needs at the lowest possible price. Only when both producers and consumers do their respective jobs well does a free market economy truly work. And since the lowest possible price is free there's really nothing wrong with consumers asking for it -- as asking for free is often a good way to drive prices down. The goal of free can seldom be reached, of course, but consumers should be trying just as hard to push the price toward free as the producers are trying to maximize their profits. Therefore, I don't think it is any more rude for a consumer to ask for free than it is for a producer to raise prices.-rssapphire (January 04, 2011, 09:39 PM)
My big goal for this year is to distill my work environment down to it's absolute essence. I feel I'm using far too many software tools to get my work done lately. (But I'd suspect that's a fairly common 'occupational hazard' for folks like us.) Simplify, simplify, simplify... (Man, I really must be getting old if I'm talking like that... ) -40hz (January 05, 2011, 09:32 AM)
@ mahesh2k:Fair points; I think you've made your case a bit better this time around.That first reply was a bit snarky, in my opinion, and sounded more like a backhand than answers.
Therefore, I don't think it is any more rude for a consumer to ask for free than it is for a producer to raise prices.
Asking for free price to any product is no different than piracy. GNU/FSF model just forces paid developers to put their hard work for free and pirates steal it and release it for free. 'Stealing' is the only action that separates pirates and GNU/FSF people, at the end result is same, developers get slammed because of dropping their price of product to 0. -mahesh2k (January 06, 2011, 12:12 AM)
It's still the duty of consumers in a free market to push the prices as low as possible (which means as close to free as they can get them).
That's not stealing, that's the way a free market is supposed to work.
If consumers aren't pressing for the lowest price they can get, the market is broken in favor of producers.
And free is a price.
We're not in free market, we pay for our stuff be it food, medicine and other stuff. Free market doesn't exist in world where we pay for things. Point is about people who dream about free market shouldn't take down paid products or chase them to release it for free.-mahesh2k (January 09, 2011, 12:10 AM)

Beer is free?They need to just say something like "free as in price" to clarify what they mean. Beer doesn't bring either definition of "free" to my mind.Then again, beer frees you from your money and your inhibitions, so in a way I guess it could be talking about price or freedom (or both).-Deozaan (January 09, 2011, 10:29 PM)

The original is "Free as in free speech, and not free as in free beer".-Renegade (January 09, 2011, 11:19 PM)
The original is "Free as in free speech, and not free as in free beer".-Renegade (January 09, 2011, 11:19 PM)Even that's not simple enough for the masses. My brother and I once ran a somewhat popular website and when ads weren't providing enough income to cover the site we started to offer paid membership plans. We got a few e-mails complaining about it, one person even said something to the effect of "Why should I have to pay, it's a free country!"So my point is that even using the word in a context that would imply the correct definition people still confuse it. That's why I strongly recommend something like "Free as in freedom as opposed to free as in price."-Deozaan (January 10, 2011, 01:29 AM)

I just received an email from USAA about their new USAA Cash Rewards Plus Amex credit card offering 5% cash back on gas purchases up to $3,000 in spend each year (you also get 2% at the grocery store and 1% on everything else). There's no annual fee on the card.
It's only available to USAA members, or to people who have military in their family (you'll see who qualifies when you click through the link). It is the best no annual fee card out there for gas cash back. I wouldn't use it for anything else, but the $3k cap is reasonable for most people, and with no annual fee you can keep it open forever to help with your credit score (open unused credit & the length you've had credit open both help your score).

ALBANY, New York - More than 60 years after a teenage soldier disappeared during a fierce Korean War battle, the DNA provided by one of his siblings has led to his remains being identified and returned to his upstate New York hometown for burial.
A plane carrying the casket with George J. Conklin Jr.'s remains arrived Wednesday at the Rochester airport, where it was met by a military honor guard, family members and Patriot Guard motorcycle riders. A hearse then took the casket east to Conklin's hometown of Phelps, a rural Finger Lakes village of about 2,000 residents.
Over the last few miles, the route was lined with veterans, firefighters and residents paying tribute to Conklin. When the motorcade reached Cheney Funeral Home in Phelps, it was greeted by hundreds of people who fell silent as his casket was removed from the hearse.
"It was a phenomenal sight," said funeral home owner Peter Cheney. "It was amazingly silent. It was like a peace come over everybody."
Conklin was 17 when he went into the Army in 1949. He was a private first-class serving in the 7th Infantry Division's 31st Regimental Combat Team as it supported encircled U.S. Marines fighting their way out of the mountainous terrain near North Korea's Chosin Reservoir in early December 1950, when temperatures dipped far below freezing. Conklin was among a large contingent of American soldiers overrun by Chinese forces. He was reported missing, then listed as killed in action when the war ended in 1953.
His father died in 1991 and his mother three years later without knowing how he died or where he was buried. Conklin had two younger brothers: Ken, who died in 2009, and Carl, who died in April.
Nearly a decade ago, Carl gave a DNA sample to the Joint POW/MIA Accounting Command, the Pentagon unit charged with finding and identifying missing U.S. military personnel recovered from overseas battlefields. In September 2004, a JPAC team recovered human remains and military material evidence at two sites near the Chosin Reservoir. Pentagon officials said Conklin's remains were identified in September at JPAC's laboratory in Hawaii through the DNA sample.
The news was greeted with happiness tinged with sadness that his brothers didn't live long enough see his remains returned to Phelps, said Karen DesCamp, Carl Conklin's daughter.
"Everybody was very happy and, of course, wishing it could have been years earlier," she said.
Conklin is one of several 31st Regimental Combat Team soldiers whose remains were recovered in 2004 and identified in recent years.
Conklin, who was promoted posthumously to corporal, will be buried next to his parents during a graveside service with full military honors Saturday morning at Resthaven Cemetery in Phelps.

I was thinking that we all should work on some sort of standards when it comes to debating. A lot of people know what informal fallacies are, though some misuse them. I thought we should work on things that are common. For example, let's say we don't know the metal or alloy a machine is made of. If this machine could melt from an attack, how would we know how hot it became, since metals and alloys have different melting points? If we took commonality as a standard, we could assume that this machine is made of iron because iron is the most abundant metal in the Universe.
We might think that this machine is another metal as well. Titanium is better than steel in terms of strength-to-weight, so we might think many metal structures are made of titanium. Although fiction can have made up metals or alloys, if we find a hint of metals with a specific name like "iron", "steel", "titanium", or even "tin", then we can also assume our elements exist in a fictional world. This is only an example, but I thought perhaps we could work on things one at a time to make debates easier to work with.

A tipster tells us that P.J. Clarke's legendary bow-tie wearing bartender Doug Quinn, who was once profiled by the New York Times and called the "Bartender Of Your Dreams," abruptly found himself out of his job last night.
We were able to reach Quinn this morning by telephone.
Quinn, who worked at P.J. Clarke's Midtown location, gave us his side of the story, and claimed he was fired. Our tipster says the customers left in droves when it happened.
P.J. Clarke's has several locations in the city, but its Midtown saloon is the most famous and it's frequented by Wall Street types, Bloomberg employees and many, many others. It also appears in the popular AMC series Mad Men. Our Deputy Editor Joe Weisenthal went there with Nassim Taleb once.
We've left multiple messages with P.J. Clarke's, and will update as warranted.
What follows is Quinn's side of what happened last night at the bar...
The story Quinn told Business Insider is that last night at the bar there was an older man in the bar who had groped three young women.
"I'm Doug Quinn. This is P.J. Clarke's and there's a way to behave in the saloon. I don't tolerate this kind of shenanigans in the bar," he said.
Quinn, who is 6-foot-2 and 200 lbs., said the bar was a little busy and he tried to call the gentleman over but the man got "verbally abusive," according to the bartender.
"I told him he should leave and he told me 'F you'," Quinn said.
Quinn told Business Insider that he thought about picking up the phone and calling the police in the area since he says he knows all of them.
However, he said he decided to ask the bar's new general manager for help.
"So I told this guy, the general manager, 'Could you do me a favor and please get this gentleman out of here? He's abusive and putting his hands on women.'"
Quinn, who said he didn't want to make a scene out of the situation, said the manager didn't support him.
"Rather than supporting me and listening saying 'You gotta go,' he went over and kissed his hiney and took him in the dining room and bought him dinner," he said, adding that the man was given a P.J. Clarke's t-shirt.
Quinn said he told the general manager he was "out of line" and that he was about to lose his bar staff. Then, he said he and another bartender Justin stepped outside.
"We walked out for a moment. 'We can't walk out. This guy is abusive and he's allowed to stay in this establishment. We're not going to walk out.'"
A few moments later, Quinn said he got a text from the managing partner that he should meet with him tomorrow. The managing partner showed up later.
Quinn was told "it was time to go" and he was fired. The other bartender Justin is also out, he told Business Insider.
He told Business Insider that in his view what went on last night at P.J. Clarke's was "despicable."
"You know what it is time for me to go. I can't work in a place like that."
The bar's patrons, some of whom called themselves his "friends" even though Quinn says they're actually his "clients," walked out in droves after the legendary bartender's dramatic ouster last night, according to the tipster and Quinn.
"There's good people out there. It's a nice thing that occurred. Someone told me the place was empty."
Some people even told the the general manager that they'd never come back again, according to Quinn.
Quinn, who has a reputation for using terms of endearment for women such as "darling" and "gals," and "brother" and "man" for guys, said he always tried to get to know everyone who came in the bar.
He considered P.J. Clarke's to be one of the last bastions of old world New York.
"I call P.J. Clarkes the 'Vatican of saloons' and it was," he said, adding, "If people can be abusive and grope women then it's not the 'Vatican of saloons' anymore."
"You don't want the Babe Ruth of bartenders? There. That's fine."
When asked to clarify what that means he explained, "I think Babe Ruth was the greatest baseball player because he was someone who was larger than life because he was a gentleman," he said, adding, "He was kind to people. He made wonderful gestures and that's what, to me, makes me the best."
Quinn said he will open up a new place.

The U.S. is not the only superpower facing political change this week. China begins its 18th Communist Party Congress on Wednesday and party leaders will decide who will lead the world's second biggest economy.
"This is an historic time to be watching China politically now," says Nicholas Consonery, Asia analyst for Eurasia Group, a global political risk research and consulting firm. "The Communist Party, which has been in charge since 1949, is going to see a big transition in the entire leadership of the party."
Consonery tells The Daily Ticker that the Party's standing committee, which leads the country, will almost completely turn over and may even be reduced in size from nine to seven members. These individuals will likely run China for the next 10 years.
It's expected that Xi Jinping, China's vice president, will be named the new head of state and Li Kequiang, the current executive vice premier, will become the new premier. Although the changes will announced by Nov. 11, they won't take effect until March 2013.
Consonery says the changes are wide and deep -- the equivalent in the U.S. to a change in the presidency, the Joint Chiefs of Staff, the Supreme Court and the governorships of most or all the states, all at once.
"It's not just change at the top of the party, but the whole party structure," adds Consonery.

China's new government will face many domestic challenges including a slowing economy, a growing middle class and increasing demands for political reform. China's economy grew at a 7.4% annual rate in the third quarter—its slowest since the first quarter of 2009.
China's new leadership with also have to contend with an increasingly fraught relationship with the U.S. and its Asian neighbors.
The Obama Administration has been bringing more cases against China through the WTO, charging China with unfair trade practices.

"The U.S. is clearly headed in the direction of taking more forceful stances with China over trade and economic issues," says Consonery.
In Asia, there's a "growing level of concern about China's rise…on the part of many of its neighbors and a clear determination on the part of the U.S. to increase its engagement there," says Consonery. China and Japan both claim ownership of the uninhabited Senkaku Islands, which are currently controlled by Japan.
Chinese surveillance ships have been seen sailing in the waters around the islands. On Tuesday the U.S. and Japan began an 11-day join military exercise in the area.

When engineer and biophysicist John Dabiri wants to build something efficiently, he consults a definitive source on the subject: the ocean. The 30-year-old Caltech scientist reverse-engineers marine systems to build more efficient machinery. One of his designs, a wind farm, models the dynamics of large schools of fish to generate 10 times as much power per acre of land as conventional wind farms. Last year, Dabiri won a MacArthur grant for his investigation of the similarities between the way a jellyfish swims and a human heart pumps blood—research that could lead to better ways to diagnose heart disease. We recently caught up with Dabiri.
Your career really began with an undergraduate summer fellowship at Caltech.
Right. I arrived thinking I was going to do conventional engineering research. Instead, I spent the summer making video recordings of jellyfish. It really opened my eyes to the fact that there's a lot of interesting engineering in the natural world.
What is so fascinating to an engineer about jellyfish?
Jellyfish motion is simple but extraordinarily efficient. When they swim, they create spinning, doughnut-shaped masses of water called vortex rings, and then they push off these rings almost like a boat pushing off its own wake.
How did these rings inspire your team's design for a research submarine?
Typical jet propulsion pushes water in a straight stream. Modulating the jet flow to create pulsing vortex rings instead lets the vehicle travel 40 percent farther on the same battery charge.
And these rings can also help diagnose heart disease?
Yes. A healthy human heart creates similar vortex rings in the blood. When a heart starts to fail, the rings become muddled, resembling those of panicking jellyfish. This gives us a potential index to detect heart failure at early stages.
Jellyfish are hardly cuddly. Have you ever been stung?
I was doing a photo shoot a couple of years ago where the photographer had me in the water holding a jellyfish with gloves, but its tentacles broke off all around me and got into my board shorts. That was pretty horribly painful.

It's a great thing whenever people in the tee community help each other out. The people at tee-a-day site TeeFury have teamed up with Stabb Clothing to help raise money for charity.Â
In a recent post on the Stabb blog, Stabb founder Ryan Grandmaison, mentioned the recent cancer diagnosis of a good friend and bandmade (Something for Nothing) of his. He has also been posting regular updates about his friend so be sure to check those out on the Stabb blogs.
TeeFury recently reached out to Grandmaison and offered to collaborate with the up-an-coming tee brand to create a tee with the help of the indie tee community. Grandmaison (aka as RustyEight) posted about the collaboration on the Emptees forum:
As most of you know by now, my buddy and guitarist Ben has been fighting Burkitt's Lymphoma for the past few months and thanks to you guys we've raised a bunch of money and some clothes.
Wotto approched me the other day with an idea on how to raise some more, via TeeFury . TeeFury Collab! Alphabet Edition!
What's the idea? Every designer signs up to design 1 letter (capital). If we have enough people(52) we'll do both capital and lower case. Keep it at 3 Colors.
The shirt will then go up on TeeFury for sale sometime in in January or February. If you would like to sign up for this huge collab, post the letter you would like. First come first serve. Remember, proceeds will be going to Ben, you will not get paid for it. DEADLINE IS JANUARY 31STÂ
If you're interested, then be sure to check out the forum post. You can sign up for a letter there (there are a couple of letters left as of this posting). Good luck to TeeFury and Stabb with this!

Armed police are patrolling Leeds's biggest shopping centres in the build up to Christmas to provide reassurance in the wake of the Paris terror attacks.
Customers have reported their surprise at seeing officers carrying guns in the malls of the White Rose Shopping Centre and Trinity Leeds.
They are also keeping an eye on travellers using Leeds railway station and are walking the streets of the city centre.
West Yorkshire Police said the patrols were being carried out "in line with national guidance" and were not a response to a specific threat.
A father of two from said he had to look twice when he spotted two officers in their distinctive caps and vests while having a meal with his children at the Trinity centre.
"Although you see police with guns reasonably often, it's still surprising when you see them in a shopping centre on a Sunday morning," he said.
"It's disconcerting but it makes you realise how seriously they are taking the threat of terrorism."
The increase in patrols comes amid heightened concern for the safety of the public, particularly in crowded places, following the attacks in Paris which claimed the lives of 130 people on November 13.
A West Yorkshire Police spokesman said: "Armed officers and high-visibility reassurance patrols have been increased across West Yorkshire in line with national guidance. This is not in response to any specific intelligence, or direct local threat.
"Our priority is the safety of our communities, and our officers are working 24/7 in order to protect the public from harm.
"The increased presence is to further facilitate that safety, and to allow people to continue to go about their daily business, whether that be working, socialising or shopping.
"We would encourage the public to continue to be alert and not alarmed, and if they witness any suspicious behaviour to contact police on 999 in an emergency or 101 otherwise."
Information can also be passed to the anti-terrorist hotline on 0800 789321.
The shopping centres declined to comment.

With two and a half days remaining, the voting for the Canadian Cyclist of the Year awards remains some of the tightest we have ever seen. In the contest for the top Female athlete, it is still a battle between two mountain bikers - Emily Batty and Catharine Pendrel. Pendrel leads, but It wouldn't take many votes to swing things the other way.
The Male rider competition is even closer between Ryder Hesjedal and Geoff Kabush - a dozen votes could change the lead, which is currently held by Hesjedal. Hesjedal also holds the lead in the Best Individual Performance with his Vuelta stage win, ahead of Kabush (Bromont World Cup win) and Pendrel (Mont Ste Anne World Cup win). However, there are at least three other riders easily within range.
The final category is the Canadian Cyclist of the Decade; a write in vote. There is a still no clear leader in this group either. Top vote getters include Roland Green, Marie-Helene Premont, Geoff Kabush and, more recently, Michael Barry.
Our Canadian Cyclist of the Decade voting continues until December 20th, along with balloting for top Male, Female and Individual Performances for 2009. You can cast your vote Here

Computer woes hit Banner hospital system
The Phoenix-based health system used backup paper records to help provide patient care.
PHOENIX -- Banner Health grappled with a widespread computer outage Wednesday as hospitals and doctors resorted to backup paper systems to provide care for patients.
The Phoenix-based health system did not immediately know what triggered the computer troubles that started just before 10 a.m. PST. An official described the computer troubles as a rolling outage of computer systems at hospitals and other health care facilities in Phoenix, Colorado and Nevada.
By late Wednesday, a spokesman said, technicians had identified the problem and were fixing it. They expect to investigate the root cause of the problem Thursday.
Banner Health, the Phoenix area's largest health care system, activated "downtime procedures" that included using paper-based systems to track medications and other care provided to patients, officials said.
Banner's emergency departments still provided care to patients and accepted new patients.
Some non-emergency surgeries and appointments were delayed because of the computer troubles.
"There have been some delays and inconveniences, but we are still providing care," said Bill Byron, Banner Health's senior vice president of public relations.
Banner Health, which operates 24 hospitals and several primary-care offices and outpatient centers in more than a half-dozen states, was working to "reboot" the computer systems Wednesday evening through a series of sequential fixes, Byron said.
In the meantime, Banner officials were able to retrieve computer-based records that detailed patients' medical histories, including any medications, laboratory results and procedures that were previously performed.
Nurses and doctors shifted to writing on paper records after the computer systems experienced trouble Wednesday morning.
Information from those paper charts will be keyed into the patients' computer-based health records after the problem is fixed.
Banner Health has been among the most advanced health systems in the nation in converting to computer-based health records.
Banner Estrella Medical Center was among the first hospitals to open as an "all-digital" facility in the past decade. Banner's other hospitals have largely completed the final stages of installing computerized record-keeping in areas such as physician order and entry and electronic documentation.
Arizona law does not require hospitals to notify state health regulators in the event of such a widespread outage.
However, some hospitals have internal policies requiring that they notify health accrediting organizations or federal regulatory agencies, such as the Centers for Medicare and Medicaid Services, an Arizona Department of Health Services spokeswoman said.

A very old, traditional way of transferring an embroidery design to fabric is by drawing the design on very fragile paper, basting it to the ground fabric, and then stitching the design with a running stitch through both paper and fabric. When the whole design has been outlined, the paper is gently torn away. This isn't a how-to, by the way…it's probably more like a how-not-to.
I tried this method the other day. I don't know why I did—I already have my preferred technique for transferring a design to fabric that is clean, precise, and reliable—but I guess it all boils down to laziness and impatience. Didn't feel like tracing the design to interfacing that night, didn't feel like reversing the drawing, either. I just wanted to start stitching right away, so I plunked the drawing (of my camera) on top of some brown linen, and basted it down.
I'm not disparaging this method…it's been used for centuries by some of the greatest embroidering cultures of the world (Chinese, Japanese, Indian) so it obviously works, and that it proves a little difficult is more likely the fault of the practitioner than the method.
The design moved a bit as I stitched…I found that by stitching down a large part on one side of the design, the paper would warp a bit between the stitched and unstitched parts. Very possibly because of the poor basting job I did!
Sometimes, a very short stitch would tear the bit of paper underneath it, so that the stitch would disappear beneath the paper, and often I couldn't tell whether I'd stitched that part or not, and so had to push the paper aside with the tip of the needle to see whether there already was a stitch there.
I used a backstitch, rather than a running stitch, and found that because I couldn't actually see the fabric, my lines weren't always straight, my stitches didn't always line up end-to-end. This little bit of crookedness didn't bother me for most of the design, but for the little letters at the top of the camera, little gaps and crooked stitches did matter…
None of which compared with the annoyance of removing the paper, afterward. I didn't mind the slow job of gently tearing paper away in small pieces, or having to pick dandruff-like fragments that were stuck underneath the stitches with a pair of tweezers. What really bugged me was how, no matter how gently one worked, the job of pulling the paper bits out would sometimes yank on the stitching, loosening it and creating loopy bits of thread…in some cases, when the part pulled on was the end of a thread, the bitter end would come popping up to the surface of the fabric—after I had so carefully woven these loose ends into the stitches on the back of the fabric, because I don't use knots.
It came out all right in the end, I won't have to repeat the whole thing, though I must say the thread looked a bit scruffy and fluffy after all that, and the lines have a slight jitter to them, and some of the stitches are so loose that from the side they look like terry cloth. 😉 Not really, but you know what I mean. And I don't know if it really allowed me to start embroidering sooner…I was still picking bits of paper out with a pair of tweezers this morning.
The verdict? It works, and in a pinch (in a granite hut, in a remote rural area of Szechuan Province, during the Warring States Period) it'll do the job admirably. It certainly isn't an excuse for the subsequent embroidery to be poor—marvelous work has been done using just this method of transferral to first mark the fabric.
But there are so many more precise ways to do this, now, and I think any transfer pen or transfer paper, iron-on, or print-on method would be preferable.
Experiment over, I started stitching today. Had an intense craving for shades of green (I can crave certain colors the way others crave salt, or chocolate. For the next 48 hours I'll probably be all "Green is my favorite color EVER!" And then I will drop it, fickle and unfaithful, and declare an all-time-high of passion for ecru. But right now, I am loving this Kermit the Camera.

Anyone who keeps a blog knows there are times when writing just has to be neglected. Well, yeah, I'm going through one of those times.
We recently bought a house and have been spending most (read: all) of our waking
hours outside of work redecorating - which has turned out to be a bigger
job than you might think. Now I'm not going to turn this into a decorating blog (don't worry), but just to prove it, here is one of the rooms we're currently doing. It will (eventually) be my dressing room - how luxurious! The alcoves either side of the fireplace will be filled with shoes. I'll make sure to post the finished product, complete with the shoe collection that inspired the name of my blog.
Until then I might not be blogging for a while, but rest assured I'll be back when time permits!

Every once in a while, the Internet takes a giant leap forward in its ability to waste my life away. Imagine combining a profound love of Jeeps with the desire to see them pull off Dukes-of-Hazzard-on-acid jumps. Well my friend, that's the idea behind Jeep Flyer. Go ahead, take a furtive stab at a loop-dee-loop, make massive jumps over impossible distances, crash the Jeep into a thorny nest of death spikes and watch the driver fly off into white space — it's only limited by your imagination (and simulated physics).
