When moving items to and from guild banks started to break addons, and when those addons adjusted, it was still horribly slow, I decided I needed to change the way I ran my glyph operation. Storing my glyph stockpile in a guild bank, when I needed them every day for my posting cycle was slowing me down and causing me some frustration. As I thought about moving glyphs across to extra characters, I came across Stede's Guide: Optimizing Glyph Operations on a Single Toon over at the consortium forums, and went to work applying those principles to a full service glyph operation.
Go read it now.
By full service glyph operation, I mean I offer every available glyph to my server through the auction house (well I can say that now). I really like the idea of crafting not just for profit, but as a service to my server. In return for a reasonable mark up, and a lucrative income over time, I keep the auction house stocked with glyphs. ALL the glyphs. I'm not kidding myself that I do it alone. I get a lot of help from my competitors. However, if for some reason, [Glyph of Void Walker] actually manages to sell out or be absent from the auction house, I want to automatically post some the next time I post glyphs. On Dath'remar(A) everyone should be able to lob up to the auction house and get the glyphs they need, day or night.
Since my operation is a full service operation, I post my glyphs for 48 hours and never cancel (well only when I'm doing a reset, but I post back straight after). That way as I get undercut, I layer the market with glyphs, providing enough glyphs in cooperation with my competitors to meet demand.
Hopefully that is a reasonable rationale for avoiding trimming the fat for efficiency and instead attempting to make the most efficient operation across the minimum number of characters.
So I took my glyph performance analysis from my own sales, and set up two separate TSM auctioning groups, one for Twitchie and one for a posting alt.
Twitchie reserves 252 slots in his bank (7x [Royal Scribe's Satchel]) and performs two separate posts. I use BankStack over Dumpster purely because it was what I was already using. I first grab the bottom 4 glyph bags worth of glyphs and post. Then I run back to the bank and swap them for the top 3 bags worth and post again. Sometimes, just for fun I use my warlock summoning portal and Soulburn to make the trip faster and more exciting (this is going to rock in MoP).
One of the many beauties of TSM is that you can auto mail based on auctioning groups. My glyph posting alt reserves 108 bag slots (3 x [Royal Scribe's Satchel]) for glyphs and was able to grab the initial influx of glyphs out of the mail as fast as Twitchie could send them.
Having a character just dedicated to posting glyphs, means the character can stand right on top of the auctioneer and perform a posting cycle as fast as it takes to log in, post and log out again. With my alt having the worst performing glyphs, I lose little business if I decide I don't have the time or energy to log on to her each day.
So that describes the posting side of the operation, with thanks to some inspiration from Stede and a whole crap ton of [Royal Scribe's Satchel]s from Moordenar, my favourite rogue.
For the supply side, Twtichie does most of the heavy lifting. I purchase herbs as fast as my price threshold allows, and mail them over to Twitchie. Twitchie then 'sponsors' our television and movie viewing as subtly as possible while milling herbs and crafting inks. Sometimes, if he is too intrusive, Twitchie Enterprises resorts to bribery in addition to sponsorship and might take a back seat when we watch something romantic.
I use 3 guild bank tabs in Twitchie's exclusive guild that is home to some of our 'quiet time' alts. One tab is for darkmoon cards, volatile life, inferno ink and anything else BoE that is handy to have on hand. The other two guild bank tabs are reserved for herbs, pigments and inks as I work through processing them, mostly afk. I have 3 regular bags in my backpack that I exchange for 3 inscription bags to store batches of herbs for milling. When I have a full guild bank tab of blackfallow ink, I'll have a bulk crafting session for glyphs and add them to the stockpile across two toons for posting. For bulk crafting glyphs I use TSM crafting with the following settings:
- Minimum Profit Method: Gold Amount
- Min Restock Quantity: 4
- Max Restock Quantity: 17
- Minimum Profit (in gold): 12g
Spreading my glyph operation across two characters has allowed me to craft and post efficiently, while avoiding the guild bank for my glyph stockpile that I post regularly.

With his first full novel in almost ten years (not counting his Doctor Who book), Michael Moorcock - the most influential figure in modern fantasy and science fiction - returns to the city of his birth. London has always been a central character in Moorcock's work, from the high-literary fiction of MOTHER LONDON to the roof gardens of Jerry Cornelius.Now return to London just after the war, a city desperately trying to get back on its feet. And one young boy, Michael Moorcock, who is about to discover a world of magic and wonder. Between his first tentative approaches to adulthood - a job on Fleet Street, the first stirrings of his interest in writing - and a chance encounter with a mysterious Carmelite Friar, we see a version of Moorcock's life that is simultaneously a biography and a story. Mixing elements of his real life with his adventures in a parallel London peopled with highwaywomen, musketeers and magicians, this is Moorcock at his dazzling, mercurial best.
The first part of Gollancz's definitive collection of Moorcock's short fiction, this selection features some of his finest work. From the Pleasure Garden of Felipe Sagittarious to the Cairene Purse, the stories here are incredibly varied in their style, execution and subject matter.
The second part of Gollancz's definitive collection of Moorcock's short fiction, this selection features some of his finest work. From 'The Brothel in Rosenstrasse' to 'The Surrealist Sporting Club', the stories here are incredibly varied in their style, execution and subject matter.
The multiverse is exposed in all its sordid glory as we are shown glimpses of eight different futures, each in the form of 'The Alternative Apocalypse'. Treating time as the mutable imposter it is, the third Jerry Cornelius novel ranges across the ages from the Austro-Hungarian Empire to the swinging London of the '60s and '70s, from turn-of-the-century music halls to 1930's seaside resorts. Leading us across time and space are the likes of Jerry's beloved sister Catherine and villainous brother Frank, wily adversary Miss Brunner, the grotesque Bishop Beesley and cool, anarchist revolutionary Una Persson, while Jerry Cornelius - the English Assassin - lies close to death's door. For now.
Civilisation is dead, the once proud nations of Europe devolved to a series of splintered city-states. Culture itself has degenerated to the point where music is an unreachable ideal, and the highest humanity can aspire is to explore the condition of 'muzak'. In such an apocalyptic wasteland, can even the legendary Jerry Cornelius - distracted by the search for his beloved sister Catherine - restore the balance?
The universe is dying; at the End of Time the last remnants of Humanity live amoral lives of decadence, constantly seeking new diversions and sensations. So when Mrs Amelia Underwood is mysteriously transported to the End of Time Jharek Carnelian decides to fall in love with her, but when Amelia returns to her own period of history, Jherek follows her and finds himself plunged into the strange world of Victorian London.
Gollancz is very proud to present the author's definitive editions of the saga of Elric, the last emperor of Melnibon?. Michael Moorcock and his long-time friend and bibliographer John Davey have collaborated to produce the most consistent and coherent narrative from the disparate novels, novellas, short stories and non-fiction about Elric. From his early life in Melnibon? all the way through to his final days, these seven volumes will be the definitive telling of the albino prince's story. Elric is one of the great creations of modern fantasy, and has inspired legions of imitators. If you know his story already, then this definitive edition will finally let you read the entire saga in the author's preferred order. If you've never experienced the chronicles of the albino with the soul-sucking sword, then this is the perfect place to start.

Ann and I have a project taking shape. Like many endeavors, it began with one tiny offhand comment, which is in resonance with Lao-tzu who observed, �The longest journey starts with a single step.�
Ann and I have a project taking shape. Like many endeavors, it began with one tiny offhand comment, which is in resonance with Lao-tzu who observed, �The longest journey starts with a single step.�
While sitting on our patio as is our normal evening routine, Ann said she wished our patio was �a little larger.� Those three little words were an egg of an idea which I promptly fertilized by responding, �What do you have in mind?�
We picked up our wine glasses and stepped into the yard to begin tracing an imaginary boundary for an addition. The more we sipped and circled the yard talking about it, the more appealing the project became.
The next day I called our �go-to� construction guy, Francisco Ruiz. I asked if he knew anybody interested in a little job like this who worked with concrete.
He did and came over to see what we had in mind. We sort of sketched out invisible lines in the grass where it would begin and end. I mentally calculated that somewhere around four yards of concrete should do it.
He said he�d bring his guy over within a few days and we�d get some concrete numbers and measurements � pun inevitable. Who knew how big our little germ of an idea would grow in that short interval?
In order to lay out precisely what we wanted I dropped by Lowes for some spray stuff to mark our grass. Instead of buying an aerosol that our puppies might get on them and track into the house, I opted for a bundle of little orange flags on wire posts.
These turned out to be perfect. We walked around sticking flags in the grass as we went. Voila! An outline of our patio extension began revealing itself.
The main advantage of the little flags was they were easy to stick in, pull out and move. The main disadvantage of the little flags was they were easy to stick in, pull out and move. See where this is going or should I say went?
Yep, we kept pulling up and putting down until what began as a patio began looking more like a parking lot. Our project became Jabba the Hutt eating our whole backyard!
Ann and I came to our senses and sized the thing back a little closer to reasonableness. We shrank the parking lot closer to a skating rink.
Our original goal of making our patio �a little larger� is alive and well but took some steroids. Oh well, that�s OK as we�ll make very good use of more area.
I�m amazed where Ann�s three little innocuous words are taking us within such a short time. It�s a good thing because Bug visits from Japan in a couple weeks and will surely like the expanded patio.
Yesterday Ann grinned and casually mentioned that Bug�s TV should be �a little larger.� Lao-tzu whispered in my ear, �Don�t move or say anything� � but was too late.
My auto-pilot mouth responded: �What time does Best Buy close?�

Got my first league ace last night. #18 at Legacy. My first one at Legacy too!
Congrats to the "Swade Swede" - Matt Eklund! He hit #6 at Old Pike last night at doubles league - solid! I think he said he was throwing a Champion Momba. With the league ace fund and various five dollar bills coming his way he had a $200+ payday with that ace. And I got to watch it all the way.... Nice little flip then flattened out and headed right for it with a slight hyzer turn right into the sweet spot and sat down like he just made a putt.

BATON ROUGE — Whether Jeremy Hill deserves a prominent role in LSU's offense this early in the season is a matter for debate.
BATON ROUGE — Whether Jeremy Hill deserves a prominent role in LSU's offense this early in the season is a matter for debate.
His offseason arrest aside, there is no denying what a game-changer the explosive, 6-foot-2, 235-pound running back can be for the surging sixth-ranked Tigers, who have quickly re-established their credentials as contenders in the Southeastern Conference.
Hill rushed for a career-high 184 yards and tied a career high with three touchdowns, helping LSU defeat previously unbeaten Auburn, 35-21 on Saturday night. Running with a combination of power, agility and speed, Hill scored touchdowns of 49, 10 and 6 yards. He set up yet another score with a 54-yard scamper in which he was shoved out of bounds at the 1.
Hill was quick to deflect some of the credit to LSU's young offensive line for opening "gaping holes."
"It was just up to me to make a couple of guys miss," Hill added.
Even Hill's defensive teammates talked about being "pumped up" on the sideline as they watched Hill tear off big runs.
"For him to be that big and run that fast, it's ridiculous," LSU cornerback Jalen Mills said.
Tre Mason rushed for 132 yards and had two short touchdown runs in the third quarter for Auburn (3-1, 1-1 SEC), the second cutting LSU's lead to 28-14.
Zach Mettenberger responded with his only touchdown pass of the night — a 32-yarder to Jarvis Landry — early in the fourth quarter as LSU (4-0, 1-0) dimmed Auburn's hopes for a comeback.
Mettenberger was 14 of 22 for a season-low 229 yards. He also threw his first interception of the season, but it wasn't that costly as LSU's 228 yards rushing helped it stay in control for most of the game.
Auburn's Nick Marshall was 17-of-33 passing for 224 yards and was intercepted twice. He also rushed for 46 yards.
Although LSU raced to a three-touchdown lead, Auburn refused to fold. Auburn pulled within two scores on Cameron Artis-Payne's 12-yard touchdown run with 6:33 left, then nearly pulled off a successful onside kick. Auburn recovered, but on replay review was deemed to have touched the ball before it went the requisite 10 yards.
"Our kids didn't quit and they're not going to quit," first-year Auburn coach Gus Malzahn said. "I'm very proud of our guys and with that attitude they'll have a chance to improve."
Auburn already appears substantially better than last season, when it won three games all year and went winless in the SEC.
LSU coach Les Miles applauded his team's fast start and its timely answers to Auburn's second-half surges, but Miles also said he would have liked the game to have "a nice, orderly finish," adding, "That was not what I consider orderly."
With rain steady throughout the day and well into the first half, ball security was a challenge early and hurt Auburn most.
Nick Marshall's fumbled handoff on fourth-and-1 on the LSU 41 led to Hill's long TD run three plays later for the game's opening score. Punter Steven Clark's mishandled snap on Auburn's second possession of the game set up Hill's 10-yard score to give LSU a 14-0 lead before six minutes had elapsed.
Already, Auburn was facing a larger deficit than at any point in its first three games.
"We kind of beat ourselves in the beginning," Mason said. "Mistakes after mistakes can get frustrating and that happened.
"We also have to figure out how to play in weather like this."
LSU was threatening to take a three-score lead when running back Terrence Magee fumbled on the Auburn 12, but Hill's slashing 54-yard run set up fullback J.C. Copeland's forceful touchdown carry to make it 21-0.
Auburn did not score until early in the third quarter. Mason's 2-yard TD run capped a 50-yard drive that began with Auburn safety Jermaine Whitehead's interception.
LSU responded immediately with a 75-yard drive that ended with Hill's third TD.
During much of the offseason, it wasn't clear if Hill would be able to play at all. His arrest for landing a punch outside a bar in late April violated his probation from an earlier misdemeanor plea to carnal knowledge of a juvenile. A judge placed further restrictions on Hill's probation, but agreed to let him remain out of jail.
Miles, who'd suspended Hill after his arrest, reinstated him when fall practice began and benched him only for LSU's season-opening victory over TCU. A week later, Hill scored on his first carry against UAB. He scored twice last week against Kent State, including a 58-yarder. He was even more dominant this weekend.
NOTES: Auburn WR Jaylon Denson was carted off with what appeared to be a serious knee injury in the first quarter. ... LSU DT Anthony Johnson appeared to hurt his left leg, but LSU did not provide any update on his condition. ... LSU G Trai Turner left with a right ankle injury but Miles said he was not seriously hurt.

250 Wabash Alums Enjoy Second Big Bash Weekendby Jim Amidon and Howard W. Hewitt • June 6, 2005 Share:
Big Bash '05 celebrated Wabash College's alumni achievements, friendships and contributions to the College. More than 250 Wabash men returned to campus for a weekend of activities. They reminisced, participated in the Alumni Chapel Sing, played a little golf, caught up on old times and made new memories. (See all Big Bash Photo Albums at bottom of this page.)
Friday and Saturday featured tours of campus and the popular colloquiums. But perhaps the most cherished memories are those of walking the mall, visiting the Chapel and gathering quietly with a new or old friend.
Friday's activities culminated when 37 members of the 50th reunion class attended the evening banquet, where each was honored by receiving his (or her) 50th reunion medallion. Louise Coleman received the honor for her late husband, Dr. Bill Coleman.
The highlight was when each member of the Class of 1955 was introduced, while Wabash President Andy Ford H'03 presented every person with the ceremonial medallion.
Grayam and the 50th Reunion Gift Committee Chair Roger Kumler presented President Ford with a five-year reunion gift of $4.7 million, the largest reunion gift ever presented to the College.
President President Ford, in his remarks, gave alumni a year-in-review talk, plus discussed his pending retirement and detailed how the search for a new president would go.
"The College is in marvelous shape now," Ford said. "We have completed the most successful capital campaign in our history; we are recruiting talented young men; and we are offering them a wonderful liberal arts education."
Ford expressed his appreciation to the alumni for returning to campus and their varied contributions to keep Wabash strong.
Saturday's activities with what is becoming a great new Wabash tradition, the Alumni Chapel Sing. Under sunny skies on the chapel steps each class took a turn singing Old Wabash to the delight of the crowd. All the Wabash men joined together for a big grand finale of the school song.
Saturday evening's individual reunion banquets all across campus gave the alums another chance to meet old friends and enjoy the camaraderie of their classmates.
The Sunday Awards Brunch was attended by nearly 300 alumni plus spouses and children. Mitsuya Goto and Hal Lesh, both in the Class of 1955, came from Tokyo, Japan and Paris, France, respectively, to earn the honor of having traveled the farthest to attend Big Bash. Bastain Wonschik, Class of 2000, came all the away from Germany to join his classmates
Claiming the 1909 Trophy Cup for having the highest percentage of his class return for Big Bash was Vaino Grayam, Class Agent for the Class of 1955. A total of 38 percent of the class returned for the 50th reunion.
The 1928 Attendance Trophy honors the class with the highest number of alumni returning for Big Bash. That award went to Peter Pactor and Jay Patterson, co-Class Agents for the Class of 1965, who lured 50 men from their class.
The newest reunion award honored Edwin Robinson, Class of 1900, and Carroll Ragan, Class of 1901, who authored the school fight song, Old Wabash. Winning the Robinson-Ragan Award for Alumni Chapel Sing, an award based on memorization, attendance, and creativity, was the Class of 1955.
"The most special award we give during Big Bash Weekend is the Dorman Hughes Award," said Alumni Director Tom Runge '71. "It's an award that honors the late Dr. Dorman Hughes, long-time Class Agent for the Class of 1943, and goes to the class agent or class agents who, in the opinion of our staff, did the most work in organizing their reunion."
The Dorman Hughes Award, honoring class agents, was presented to 1965's Peter Pactor and Jay Patterson.
The final award was the Edmund O. Hovey Annual Giving Award, which is presented to the Class Agent whose class has the highest percentage of annual fund donors. Taking home the prize was the Class of 1955 with a 50 percent giving rate. Runge noted that the Class of 1965 had more donors (81) and a total of 46 percent.
"It was just a terrific weekend all around," added Runge. "From the colloquia sessions to Alumni Chapel Sing, our alumni had a great time on campus. It's our hope that they'll spread the word so that Big Bash '06 is bigger and better than ever."

While looking through the Let's Scrap gallery the past two weeks, I realised there were not a lot of layouts with stamping, and even less layouts with heat embossing. So I decided to do a tutorial on heat embossing.
First of all you will need some tools. These include the following:
- the stamp you are wanting to use;
- an acrylic block (if you are using acrylic stamps);
- distress ink;
- embossing powder; and
- heat gun
In order to some stamping with heat embossing, hear are the steps to follow:
- Place your stamp on the acrylic block and ink the stamp. Transparent Versa Mark ink is great to use when you do not want the ink to show, such as when you are using light coloured embossing powder (thank you Eniko).
- Stamp on the paper you have decided to use.
- Immediately after you have stamped the image you need to sprinkle a thick layer of embossing powder over the stamped area, such that it covers the area adequately. The best way is to have the embossing powder ready before you so your stamping. It is very important to throw the embossing powder over the stamped area while it is still wet.
- Once you have sprinkled the embossing powder, you need to "tap off" the extra embossing powder, such that the only powder left is that on the paper where the stamped image is.
- You are now ready to use your heat gun :-) Once you have switched it on, place it over the stamped area and watch the image transform from dull to embossed :-)
Once you have embossed your stamped image, you can proceed to use it on your layout or card or any other media.
I love to use it on cards, as well as my chipboard titles for layouts. What's great about using it on chipboard, is that it gives the chipboard a totally different look. The layout I have below is an example where I used heat embossing on chipboard letters and embellishments.
In order to achieve the look above I did the following:
- Painted the chipboard letters;
- Stamped the images on each letter;
- Covered the letters with embossing powder; and
- Heated the letters.
You will see there are red patterns on the chipboard letters, these are the embossed sections on each of the letters.
This is really one of my favourite techniques, and so versatile!
I really hope you enjoyed the tutorial and that you will try it out sometime.
Happy Scrappin'

Director Steven Spielberg is taking some time off following the success of his latest film "Lincoln" by sailing around the world with his family this summer.
The moviemaker's drama about former President Abraham Lincoln took home two Oscars last month, and now he is set for some much-needed rest and relaxation with his wife Kate Capshaw.
The couple will set sail on their $200 million yacht named the Seven Seas, which boasts a movie theater, spa, and anti-seasickness system, in May.
During the 30,000-mile trek, the pair will revisit some of Spielberg's favorite places, such as Hawaii, where he shot "Jurassic Park," and "Sri Lanka," where a portion of the "Indiana Jones" franchise came to life.
An aide at his production company, Amblin Entertainment, tells the New York Post, "We are not expecting to see him during the summer."

osmo-lea6t-gps timing module DIY kits available
Due to lots of other work, it took quite some time between my initial blog post about the omso-lea6t-gps board and the point where we are able to offically sell kits in the sysmocom webshop. The primary reason is: The people for whom we primarily built the board (i.e. the Osmocom developers) all have one and are happy with it ;)
But repeated inquiries by e-mail and otherwise have shown there is more interest. However, for a hand ful of boards we cannot make an automated production run in a SMT assembly line. So for the time being, we are only selling DYI kits, consisting of a digikey-packaged component kit including all components, plus the PCB, as well as the LEA-6T module.
Anyone who is interested in such a timing module DIY kit can now order from the sysmocom webshop.
More information on the project, including design materials like schematics can be found at the Osmocom wiki.

Jordy Leiser '06, Nicole Falcaro '09 and John Ernsberger '06
Ask entrepreneur Jordy Leiser '06 why Bucknell seems to have a critical mass of incredibly successful business pioneers—such as Home Depot co-founder Ken Langone '57, P'83, LendingTree founder Doug Lebda '92, diapers.com founder Marc Lore '93 and Kiva co-founder Jessica Jackley '00—and Leiser will tell you it's all about the people who are attracted to Bucknell. "The University draws independent thinkers who want to do big things. They want to run something rather than be a cog in the wheel." He says the tight friendships formed among Bucknellians are also a key part of alumni entrepreneurial success. "Trust is so important when you're starting out. Of course you turn to close friends."
Leiser partnered with John Ernsberger '06 to found STELLAService. Based in New York City, the company measures and rates the customer service of online retailers and works with Zappos, QVC and other companies to highlight their commitment to great service. STELLAService has grown fast and now has 20 employees, including senior analyst Nicole Falcaro '09.
When Ernsberger and Leiser were living on Third Street in Lewisburg, trying to get their startup going, they found it wasn't just the Bucknellians with whom they went to school that they could call for support. Lebda became an early investor and helped recruit other investors, including fellow Bucknellians.
In the spirit of Bucknellians working together and helping one another, Ernsberger and Leiser hope to pay forward the help they received. They have worked with Bucknell to create a business plan for the Bucknell Innovation Center, which includes initiatives such as the Hatchery Residential College and an Entrepreneur-in-Residence program.
"With technology central to innovation, the University's combination of engineering and liberal arts is fertile ground to formally put a whole entrepreneurial ecosystem in place," says Leiser.
He points back to the University's legacy of successful alumni as well. "The entrepreneurial success at Bucknell has kind of exploded. There are enough of us out here who have been through it to help mentor and advise new generations of upstart Bucknellians that really do want to reinvent the wheel."

Newtown schools superintendent under scrutiny
NEWTOWN -- She brought House Minority Leader Nancy Pelosi to tears while testifying in Washington about the need for gun control after 20 first-graders and six educators were killed at Sandy Hook Elementary School.
She brought members of the state's General Assembly to a standing ovation.
She has been one of the faces of Newtown nationally, through TV interviews on CNN and MSNBC.
But apparently, Superintendent of Schools Janet Robinson cannot appease the town's Board of Education chairman and some other irritated members.
The longtime educator is in danger of losing her job.
Robinson has won praise for her school district leadership in the days after the Dec. 14 shootings, but the stormy relationship with Board Chairman Debbie Leidlein, which had been smoothed over following the shootings, has reignited.
In particular, Robinson has run afoul of board leadership over her reluctance to obtain a waiver for students taking the Connecticut Mastery Test. The board overrode her judgment and voted 5-2 to request the waiver from the state; federal permission also is required.
The annual testing for third- to eighth-graders is scheduled for March.
Board members have criticized Robinson recently for her public comments related to Newtown two children's choirs, one organized through Sandy Hook Elementary School and another from the community. Both groups have performed for national venues.
A special school board meeting scheduled for Thursday night included a closed-door session with Robinson, with the agenda stating the session was to discuss the "superintendent's contract."
The agenda did not call for the board to vote following executive session.
Asked about the special meeting, Robinson said Thursday afternoon it apparently has to do with rumors about her job intentions. If so, she said it will be a "non-event" as she has nothing to share.
Robinson's name has come up as a potential candidate in area superintendent searches, but she said she has made no decisions.
"I have nothing to tell (the board)," Robinson said. "I'm not talking about this."
Prior to Dec. 14, she and the board had been at odds. During the summer, the board had voted 4-3 not to extend her three-year contract. Her contract expires in June 2014.
The concern now, though, is whether the ill will between Robinson and the board can be bridged.
The district will need to hire three new principals for the coming school year, along with teachers and other staff because of attrition, retirement and the deaths of six educators at Sandy Hook School.
"To me, it's hurtful that this discord is happening at this time," said Michelle Ku, a parent who regularly attends board meetings and is active in the community. "It's painful to see."
Newtown Education Federation President Tom Kuroski said he has no interest in getting into the political fray.
Kuroski said he has a strong working relationship with Robinson, and while they may not always agree, Kuroski said he finds her to be up front.
"She is very true to her convictions, and what she thinks is right to do," Kuroski said. "I appreciate that when I sit down to talk with her, she says what's on her mind. She's not afraid to tell me what she thinks."
Robinson said she hopes the district moves past the "petty stuff" to focus on what is best for students.
"I want to see some unity of purpose, with everyone in the district, and the board, really united in moving the mission of this district forward," the superintendent said. "The school district exists for kids, to educate kids. And we have to keep sight of that mission."

Media allowed conservative religious leaders to define "moral values"; In five days following election, conservative religious figures made 15 media appearances to progressive religious leaders' five
Research ››› ››› ANDREW SEIFTER
Following the November 2 presidential election, Media Matters for America documented the media's largely unquestioning acceptance of the notion that "moral values" determined the election. In their acceptance, the media did not explain or define what voters meant by "moral values." MMFA found that during the five days after the election, network and cable news outlets gave conservative religious leaders a forum in which to provide that definition; these leaders often appeared without other guests to counter their claims.
Between November 3 and November 7, conservative religious figures appeared a total of 15 times on the major broadcast and cable networks (ABC, NBC, CNN, MSNBC, CNBC, and FOX News Channel, but not CBS) to discuss "moral values," while progressive religious figures appeared a total of only five times. MMFA excluded Newsday columnists Rabbi Marc Gellman and Monsignor Thomas Hartman of "The God Squad" from this tally of figures. Although the two authors and religious speakers did not openly endorse President George W. Bush's reelection, they did speak of the election results as an indicator of a deeply religious nation, of which the "secular" coastal states are "unaware."
Reverend Jerry Falwell, national chairman of the Faith and Values Coalition and Moral Majority founder, and Reverend Joe Watkins, a Bush-Cheney '04 campaign adviser and talk radio host, appeared four times each in the five days following the election. Reverend Jesse Jackson was the only progressive religious leader to make multiple appearances (three) in that time period.
Four conservative religious figures appeared without opponents on news programs between November 3 and November 7: Watkins, Christian Coalition of America founder Reverend Pat Robertson, Peter Sprigg, senior director of policy studies at the Family Research Council (which "promotes the Judeo-Christian worldview"), and Focus on the Family founder James Dobson. No progressive religious leaders appeared alone.
Further, when not appearing alone, conservative religious leaders were more often paired with Democratic or progressive pundits who are not religious figures than with progressive religious leaders. For example, on the November 4 edition of CNBC's Capital Report, Falwell was paired with syndicated columnist and MSNBC political analyst Bill Press. On the November 7 edition of CNN's Inside Politics with Judy Woodruff, Randy Tate -- former U.S. Representative and former executive director of the Christian Coalition (which identifies itself as "America's Leading Grassroots Organization Defending our Godly Heritage") -- appeared opposite U.S. Representative Barney Frank (D-MA). Watkins appeared three times opposite progressive pundits who are not religious figures (in his November 3 appearance on CNN's American Morning, he was not described as a "reverend" but as a "Republican strategist"). Progressive religious figures appeared only twice without conservative religious counterparts: Jackson appeared with conservative author and nationally syndicated radio host William J. Bennett on the November 7 edition of NBC's Today, and Reverend Al Sharpton appeared on a panel (on the November 3 edition of MSNBC's Hardball with Chris Matthews) that also included NBC News chief foreign affairs correspondent Andrea Mitchell, Newsweek managing editor Jon Meacham, and Republican strategist Ed Rollins.
Many of the conservative religious figures suggested that Bush's victory shows public support for Republican positions on issues such as gay marriage and abortion. As MSNBC host Deborah Norville pointed out, however, polling shows that Democrats are actually more aligned with the American public than Republicans are on those issues.
Here are some examples of conservative religious figures delineating "moral values":
- Robertson claimed on the November 4 edition of FOX News Channel's Hannity & Colmes that voters' overwhelming opposition to gay marriage was the decisive factor in the election: "President [George W.] Bush ought to send roses to that bunch up there in Massachusetts [the Massachusetts Supreme Court]. I mean, they won him the victory. ... [T]o cater to a two-percent minority in the United States, to give them what they want [gay marriage] is insane. And the American people aren't going to do that."
- Also November 4, Falwell asserted on CNN's American Morning that "because of the issues of faith and family, the unborn, the same-sex marriage, and the war on terrorism ... Mr. Bush had to go back [to the White House]." The same day, Falwell said on Capital Report that in addition to those issues, "questioning 'under God' in the pledge [of allegiance] and 'In God we trust' on the coinage" and "kicking the Ten Commandments out of schoolhouses, [and] courthouses" had also contributed to "awaken[ing] a sleeping giant."
- In addition to anti-abortion issues, on the November 7 edition of CNN's Inside Politics, Tate included "a tax system where families can keep more of their own money to spend on themselves" as a "moral values" issue that benefited Bush at the polls.
- On CNN Live Saturday on November 6, Sprigg added the "type of sex education" that students receive to "the unlimited abortion license and the issues of same-sex marriage" as crucial "moral issues" that determined the election.
- Radio host and WorldNetDaily columnist Rabbi Shmuley Boteach claimed on the November 4 edition of MSNBC's Scarborough Country that another aspect was "the whole issue of a moral focus ... in foreign policy. Guys like me are sick and tired of the Democratic Party being apologists for tyrants."
- On the November 3 edition of CNN's Paula Zahn Now, Watkins suggested that black Democrats' religious values spurred them to vote for Bush over Kerry: "I had callers calling in [to my radio program] saying, 'I'm an African American, I am a Democrat, and I normally vote Democrat, but this year because of my faith, I'm voting for George W. Bush.'" (According to exit polling, Kerry won 88 percent of the black vote.)
- On ABC's This Week with George Stephanopoulos on November 7, Dobson warned that Republicans have a duty to implement the policies of "morality," or else "I believe they'll pay a price at the -- in the next election."
The claim that the election was a rejection of Democratic views on social issues was exemplified by a particularly skewed panel on the November 4 edition of MSNBC's Scarborough Country, which featured Rabbi Boteach, Catholic League President William Donohue, right-wing pundit Ann Coulter, former Republican presidential candidate and MSNBC analyst Pat Buchanan, Boston Herald columnist Mike Barnicle, and former Clinton Labor Secretary Robert Reich. The two religious leaders on the panel attacked and smeared the Democratic Party. Donohue declared, "I think that there's something in the Democratic Party. There's an absolute animus, a hostility to people who hold religion seriously. Either that or they were delirious, in which case, you have got to get the straitjackets. Put them in the asylum." Aside from his claim that Democrats are "apologists for tyrants," Boteach also claimed that "Robert Reich is being totally disingenuous when he blames the corporations rather than the Democrats for the smut in the culture." Host and former U.S. Representative Joe Scarborough (R-FL) suggested that his panel provided a balanced discussion of moral values because Donohue is Catholic and Boteach is Jewish -- but he failed to mention that both men hold highly conservative views: "Rabbi, let me -- we've been talking about evangelical Christians. Bill Donohue, obviously a Catholic. But this isn't just about being a Christian, is it? I mean, it goes beyond that." The "God Squad" appearance on CNN also featured a Christian and a Jew (Hartman and Gelllman) who presented a unified message on moral values and the election.
Boteach and Donohue were not the only conservative religious leaders to use the topic of moral values as an opportunity to attack Democrats. On the November 3 edition of CNN's Anderson Cooper 360, Falwell compared Kerry's unwillingness to oppose gay marriage through an amendment to the U.S. constitution to the unwillingness of many to strongly oppose slavery in the mid-19th century: "the fact that he [Kerry] would not support a federal marriage amendment, it equates in our minds as someone 150 years ago saying I'm personally opposed to slavery, but if my neighbor wants to own one or two that's OK. We don't buy that." (Kerry opposes same-sex marriage but he also opposes the proposed constitut ional amendment to ban it, which the U.S. Senate defeated in a procedural vote on July 14.)

dublab x FMA: Best of 2010
dublab had such an amazing year! In addition to turning 11-years-young, we expanded our echo with live broadcasts from London, Japan, Belgium & beyond! Additionally, we recorded so many incredible international artists in 2010, we had no choice but to assemble a list of our favorites. We also thought it'd be a great idea to debut a BRAND NEW set from one of our favorite far-out crooners, Brogan Bentley. We know these super-inspiring Sprout Sessions (3 hours of them!) will keep you turned-on for days!
Huge thanks to our fantastic friends over at the FMA (we're looking at you Jason!) for being so supportive and allowing us to share some of these far-out files with all of you. We're looking forward to bringing you way more audio action in 2011, and hope your ears are as excited as we are!
Thanks again for tuning in - & HAPPY 2011!

Dying For Bad Music - Best of 2010 - FMA and General Edition
So here is my final FMA Bestof2010 mix. FMA is a great ressource and it's always a pleasure to find some awesome music here. Often enough I've found an artist by listen to WFMU Radio. So WFMU is the first instance which preselect and give a starting point to dig deeper.
And if you don't mind, I invite you to listen to my general Top 20(10) list of the Dying For Bad Music blog. It's a good mixture of free music by independent artists and releases of more well known artists. This shows that quality is not depending on record deals and label contracts. So I hope you enjoy the mixtapes. Have a further reading on Dying For Bad Music (and discover much more free music)
I have to honour FMA as a well developed webapplication too. I like the userinterface and the handling. (Even if I have some points on my wishlist ;-)) Good work!

Some Songs From 2010
It's that time of year again, the end of it, and everyone's posting their best-of 2010 lists. A flood of great music pounds against every blog, so rather than trying to make a list of the "best" music I decided to shine a light on some songs that were real hight-points in my year — from the halls of the FMA with a few new additions snuck in to round things out.
So without further ado, here are Some Songs:
But wait there's more!
There were two more songs I wanted to add to the mix, but you'd be missing out if you didn't see the videos. So check these out in all their moving picture glory:
- Ted Leo & The Pharmacists: "Bottled in Cork"
- Bad Books: "You Wouldn't Have To Ask"
If you're looking for a proper best-of list you need look no further than the Free Music Archive homepage or basically any blog — but I'd recommend checking out Greg Kot's Top 10/20 list. (Greg covered all bases, so there's something for everyone in there.)
And there's a lot of really great stuff not listed in this playlist or most year-end best-ofs...so make sure you find time for 2010 music from Titus Andronicus, Dios, Magnetic Island, Zola Jesus, Former Ghosts, Philip Selway, Philip Bailey, Well and Goode, Family of the Year, Das Racist, Howl, She Makes War, Frightened Rabbit, Woodsy Pride — and suggest more because I know I'm leaving a lot of deserving folks off of the list.

Baldness Makes Men More Manly and Dominant
Science has just provided new hope for the bald, but it may not be what you think.
Researchers from the University of Pennsylvania showed students photos of similar-looking, similar-aged men—some with hair and others with shaved heads. They also showed photos of men with hair and then the same man with his hair digitally removed. In both cases, the bald guys were perceived to be more manly and more dominant. Furthermore, the study's participants guessed that the head shavers were an inch taller and 13 percent stronger than their haired counterparts.
"I was surprised that perceptions of dominance and masculinity extended to concrete, physical characteristics such as height and strength," explained Albert Mannes, the lecturer who lead the study. He believes it's the bold act of shaving one's head which fuels this perception of dominance.
There are, however, some downsides to a fully exposed dome. The study found men with hair are considered younger and better-looking than men without. But since men with thinning hair were rated even less attractive than those who had given up the ghost, it would probably behoove men who are losing their hair to just finish the job themselves.

I just bought an Thinkpad E520...God how I regret this now after I have read about this problem all over the Internet. Even though I didn't received it (later today), I am still disappointed.
I play lightly on my laptop, but my games are: Counter Strike 1.6 (OpenGl) HoN, League of Legends, All Penumbra titles, Quake Live and Quake 3, Minecraft...
I think I will return it ASAP if I have this kind of problem and buy something else. (Like an Acer)
And for AMD...because of my rage, I will sell my PC based on your processor (Phenom II 965) It is not funny anymore...

"Success comes through rapidly fixing our mistakes rather than getting things right the first time."
Remember this is not the only issue with Edges. E320/E420/E520:
1. Brightness regulation is not linear (SIC!) from brightness level 15 to 2 brightness is lowered , from 2 to 0 it increases! (Newer Intel drivers solve it but then there's no switching)
2. Hibernation doesn't work, you have 50/50 chance of resuming (prolonged suspend seems to decrase your chance of luck) and even if you success, after 15 minutes USB Host/-s creates BSOD
3. Long period of sleep (the kind of period when it would start hibernating, but you've disabled it because hibernation doesn't work) - won't resume (to be specific it seems like display is not initialized, no, closing and opening again the lid doesn't solve the problem)
4. Bluetooth likes not enabling itself with provided drivers, default ones (installed by windows) it's all fine
Won't start about crappy ThinkVantage software, plenty of bugs, thank GOD I don't need it.
1. These problems shouldn't be discussed in this thread
2. I heard about these problems, anyway I never felt uncomfortable with brightness regulation because I often use levels 0 and 1 and I don't have to search these levels in higher numbers. I even thought it was supposed to work this way
3. Hibernation should be software problem. I never had problems with that. But I'm not using default windows installation. I prefer clean install of win + only few needed lenovo thinkpad apps. I just wanted to say we shouldn't blaim lenovo.
4. I'm experiencing other problems like massive contrast when switching from black to white or not working power on "yellow, powered USB"
No they haven't, have you installed some updates? How can it be fixed if they didn't provide any new updates?
It is sad...I play Half Life 2 at maxed details with ~100FPS but I can't play Minecraft, Counter Strike 1.6, Quake... I don't even want to try Photoshop, a program that I'll need so bad in the future...
I have 9 days left to change my mind, I hope Lenovo fix this in time, before I return my laptop...(It is sad cuz I really like it)

Hi Wilis
For your yellow USB problem, have you change the setting? Because I thought I had problem with the yellow USB as well, but actually, by default, the yellow USB only works for sleep and hibernation. If you had the default setting and try to use it when it is off, then it is actually working perfectly fine. You can change the setting in Power manager. Hopes this helps.

i totally agree. having to shutdown, switch on again, go to bios to change the graphics adapter and reboot, depending on the program i want to use is not really an option. and most of the times i use different programs at the same time.
@AntraX: sorry for forgetting the e320, i only knew the 420 and 520
If you think about it, it should be an easy software fix.
why the hell can't AMD detect openGL and throw it on the discrete graphics card....
that would eliminate this bios crap.
After contacting AMD about this issue, this is the response I received-
We understand the issue is (intel hd3000 or amd 6520g), when running openGL apps, switchable graphics will not switch over to the more powerful 6650m dedicated graphics card on the laptop /notebook; if we have missed any critical information about the issue, please let us know as the suggestions may change.
A listing for both an ATI Mobility Radeon and an Intel graphics adapter chipset means the notebook /notebook utilizes either in the switchable graphics which is exclusively controlled by the software and hardware from the laptop /notebook manufacturer.
Sorry we have no information on the above, nor do we have any configurations, test, settings, etc.
Please contact the laptop /notebook manufacturer for all your support needs on this customized option, the settings, the configurations, etc. and any related software.
In order to update this service request, please respond, leaving the service request reference intact.
Best regards,
AMD Global Customer Care
Basically, AMD is taking no responsibility for their crap, and is telling the customer to screw off.
AMD is stonewalling.
Thanks for reply. There is no problem with not updated software or settings. I have it partially working and I even set other USBs to work like powered one. I use it for my external HD and when I plug it into yellow USB it just switches hard disk on and off (- seems like not enough voltage). Other USBs works perfectly so just this yellow USB is different.
So yea.. It will be drivers' problem (that means my problem)
I think what we users really need is fix for manual switching graphics. If it will be switchable only in Bios it's totally fine for me.
yes I just need manual switchable graphic in bios, I want to set only "AMD Radeon", because of the integrated graphic I cant play Rage, Metro 2033, these games only detect integrated chip and cant run the game. I cant install original AMD driver, so I have old version from Lenovo and cant do anything to solve problem....
I think this is embarassing for company as big as lenovo to fix this problem for 4 months.
Sorry, I'm not with you on this one, although I would like to see a "hard" switch in BIOS I can't take it as a final solution, I'm waiting for what I paid for, a notebook with switchable graphics, if it doesn't switch then it doesn't work as advertised - simple as that.

In the 'pick a button and tell me the letter that is showing when you pick' experiment some time-gap existed between the neurological signifier of the chosen button and the subject's reported 'moment of choice'. What would happen if the procedure were accelerated to the point that there were less time available to the subject to make a choice than the slowest observed delay? Would the subject then be unable to make any choices? Would they still choose but not feel like they are choosing freely?
Also, if the subject were told what their brain activity was predicting would they be able to 'change their mind' and click the other button? Or would it be too late and the subject would then experience their finger pressing a button against their 'will'?
Nice post. I've read quite a bit on this. Fascinating isn't it. Something about it just doesn't feel quite right though. As you've noticed, it seems. Almost like time-travel, there are too many little 'buts'.
This is the most convincing criticism of Libet's experiments I've read:
"Alfred Mele has criticized the interpretation of the Libet results ... the mere appearance of the RP a half-second or more before the action in no way makes the RP the cause of the action. It may simply mark the beginning of forming an intention to act." - http://www.informationphilosopher.com/
As far as your questions go, I'm not sure that one could convey a meaningful, complex message to someone in less than half a second…

The Original Robert Burns' Master's Jewel, worn as he served as Depute Master of St. James - Tarbolton Lodge, in Tarbolton Scotland.
In honor or his 259th Birthday, we have been working with members of Lodge Tarbolton (Kilwinning) St. James No. 135 to create this official replica with their permission.
Robert Burns (25 January 1759 – 21 July 1796)
Our jewel as seen in the photos has been given a light antique finish different than our usual black in the recesses, to more accurately represent the light gold tone of the original jewel.
Here is the jewel hanging on one of our hand made silver chains.
The original is on display in the lodge museum at Tarbolton, these photos of the original were taken in person at a Third Degree meeting in March 2017.
These jewels are 2 1/2" wide and weigh one ounce in sterling silver.
The above image shows our original black antiquing available by request.

- Design digital systems rapidly
- Develop behavioral analog/mixed-signal models
- Verify IC designs efficiently
- Prototype digital and mixed-signal ASICs and FPGAs
Faster Digital System Design
MATLAB and Simulink products can help improve the process for Signal Processing, FPGA, ASIC, and SoC semiconductor design. Engineers use an extensive library of signal processing algorithms, data visualization functions, and an interactive user interface which makes the development of digital systems faster than using lower level languages such as C or C++.
The fixed-point design capabilities of MATLAB and Simulink help engineers quickly evaluate algorithm and system design alternatives – a process that is otherwise difficult and time-consuming. Links to popular Verilog® and VHDL® simulators enable engineers to reuse system-level models as trusted test harnesses which saves significant time on test bench construction and debugging.
Explore Products for Designing and Simulating Digital Systems
Behavioral Analog/Mixed-Signal Design
Modeling and simulating analog/mixed-signal systems in circuit-level tools is time consuming and limits the number of design alternatives engineers can evaluate. By contrast, MATLAB and Simulink provide a higher level of design abstraction and faster modeling and simulation, which enables engineers to quickly evaluate numerous design options.
Semiconductor engineers use MATLAB and Simulink models as golden references when they create transistor-level circuit models. These MATLAB and Simulink models integrate with analog/mixed-signal design tools such Cadence® Virtuoso® AMS Designer, and can also be used as behavioral verification models in production SystemVerilog test environments.
Explore Products for Analog/Mixed Signal Design
Efficient IC Verification
MATLAB and Simulink products enable collaboration and integration of analog and digital design and verification teams, enabling faster and higher-quality IC designs. Engineers can use a single design environment that combines control logic, state machines, and analog and digital components that are traditionally modeled at different levels of fidelity and in different design environments. MATLAB and Simulink allow the reuse of system-level models and test benches through HDL cosimulation, or as SystemVerilog DPI components that can be exported to an EDA verification environment such as Mentor Graphics ModelSim and Questa, Cadence Incisive, and Synopsys® VCS®.
Explore Products for IC Verification
ASIC and FPGA Prototyping and Implementation
The MATLAB and Simulink suite of automated HDL and C/C++ code generation tools allow engineers to quickly turn their algorithms and designs into reality.
Using HDL Coder™, you can generate target-independent VHDL or Verilog code. This code can be used to program FPGAs and SoCs from Intel® and Xilinx®, as well as devices from other FPGA vendors. If you are developing an ASIC, you can quickly prototype your design on FPGA hardware. The Workflow Advisor in HDL Coder integrates with Intel Quartus® II, Xilinx Vivado® and Xilinx ISE® to automatically program your FPGAs from within MATLAB and Simulink, integrate your hardware into simulation using FPGA-in-the-loop testing, or generate IP cores for use in FPGAs and SoCs.
Once tested and verified, production HDL and C code generated from MATLAB and Simulink can be implemented on wide variety of popular hardware and software platforms including Signal Processing, FPGA, ASIC, and SoCs.

Wild gorillas have been seen using "weapons" for the first time, giving a new insight into how early man learned to use sticks and stones for fighting and hunting millions of years ago.
Researchers observed gorillas in the Cross River area of Cameroon throwing sticks, clumps of earth and stones at human "invaders".
It is the first time that the largest of the great apes has been seen to use tools in an aggressive way.
Experts believe that our ancestors may have learned to use sticks and stones in a similar way to frighten away predators.
The scientists noticed the unusual behaviour during a three-year study. They believe the animals might have learned to throw objects from humans who were seen throwing stones at the gorillas.
Jacqueline Sunderland Groves, from the University of Sussex in Brighton, a member of the Wildlife Conservation Society team, said: "The area is largely isolated from other gorilla groups, but there are herdsmen on the mountain.
"In one encounter a group of gorillas threw clumps of grass and soil at the researchers while acting aggressively. Another gorilla threw a branch. A third encounter saw the gorillas throwing soil at a local man who was throwing stones at the apes."
A gorilla was seen to use tools once before in the Congo, using sticks to test the depth of water and to cross swampy areas.
The findings suggest that the use of tools may predate the evolutionary split between apes and humans six million years ago.

WONG Choong Hanns chances of competing in the World Championships suffered a major setback when he crashed in the qualifying rounds of the Korea Open in Seoul yesterday.
However, Malaysia Open champions Koo Kien Keat-Tan Boon Heong and compatriots Tan Bin Shen-Ong Soon Hock were in cruise control as they checked into the main draw which begins today.
Choong Hann, who fell in the second round of the Malaysia Open last week, had earlier yesterday beaten Yousuke Nakanishi of Japan 21-11, 24-22 and South Korean Ahn Hyun Suk 9-21, 21-8, 21-15.
In the final qualifying match, Choong Hann found Koreas 2004 Athens Olympic silver medallist Shon Seung Mo a shade too good going down 23-25, 21-14, 21-12.
Choong Hann, the World No 92, must break into the top 16 by the end of May if he hopes to be one of the three Malaysians in the World Championships scheduled for Aug 13-19 in Kuala Lumpur.
But yesterdays loss has only made it harder for the left-handed Malaysian.
Choong Hann must play in the qualifying rounds of the remaining legs of the Super Series and this makes it harder for him to earn sufficient points to boost his ranking.
However, Kien Keat-Boon Heong have little to worry about that as they moved into the main draw with a 21-9, 21-10 win over Bakhthurel Ochpurev-Enkhbat Olonbayar of Mongolia in just 14 minutes.
Their first round opponents, Daniel Shirley-John Gordon of New Zealand, withdrew from competition which allowed the Malaysian pair extra rest after last weeks hectic Malaysia Open.
Bin Shen-Soon Hock also impressed with a 23-21, 21-18 win over Lee Soon Cheol-Ko Sung Hyun of South Korea, and then outplayed another Korean pair, Yoo Yeon Seong-Jeon Jun Bum, 21-18, 21-17 to make the main draw.
In the main draw, Kien Keat-Boon Heong have another easy match against Germanys Roman Spitko-Michael Fuchs, while Bin Shen-Soon Hock also look good to advance against, unfortunately, compatriots Gan Teik Chai-Zakry Latif.
Fairuzizuan Tazari-Lin Woon Fui should also have it easy against Polands Michal Logosz-Robert Mateusiak but Choong Tan Fook-Lee Wan Wah can expect a fight from Australias Ashley Brehaut-Aji Basuki.
Chan Chong Ming-Hoon Thien How face a tricky first round match against two world junior champions from Korea, Han Sang Hoon-Cho Gun Woo. Sang Hoon won the 2002 doubles title with Park Sung Hwan, while Gu Woon achieved the feat with Lee Yong Dae last year.
As for the singles, Lee Chong Wei and Yeoh Kay Bin aside, the rest face tough openers. Chong Wei, the second seed, opens against Boonsak Ponsana of Thailand, while Kay Bin plays little known Dane Kasper Oedum.
Hafiz Hashim opens against join third seed Chen Hong of China for the second time in as many weeks, Kuan Beng Hong faces a dangerous floater in Indonesias Sony Dwi Kuncoro, Roslin Hashim takes on Danish joint fifth seed Kenneth Jonassen.

Perfect Storm: Mitch Dobrowner Named Sony World Photographer of the Year 2012
avril 27, 2012 Laisser un commentaire
One of the images from Mitch Dobrowner's winning series Storms
American photographer Mitch Dobrowner has won the Sony World Photographer of the Year 2012 award, with a series of stunning photographs entitled Storms.
Dobrowner's extraordinary black and white photos of brooding skylines pregnant with impending storms defeated over 112,000 rival images that were submitted from 171 different countries.
Chairman of the judging committee, WM Hunt, said: "There is enormous pleasure in the jury's selection of Mitch Dobrowner because he is the best of what is classic and what is contemporary in photography.
"He brings a sense of its history and enormous skill in his craft while pushing his imagination and, even, physical strength. The work offers a visceral rush while being wonderfully well made. I think he is an exceptional choice."
Dobrowner, who grew up on Long Island, New York was named winner of the L'Iris d'Or and given a cheque for $25,000 (£15,500), along with Sony's latest digital imaging camera equipment, at a lavish ceremony at London's Hilton Hotel on Thursday evening.
A keen photographer in his youth, Dobrowner only resumed taking photographs again properly in 2005 after setting up a design studio with his wife.
Elsewhere Open Photographer of the Year title was awarded to 29-year-old German Tobias Bräuning for his entrancing image Dancing Queen. He walked away with $5,000 (£3,000) for his efforts.
The Youth Award Winner, a new edition to the programme specifically for under 20s, went to Sergey Kolyaskin from Russia, for his image The Last Hero, who was given Digital SLR camera equipment from Sony and a showcase spot at the winner's exhibition.
This year's Outstanding Contribution award went to the influential New Yorker William Klein. The 83-year-old, known for ironic and unusual approaches to photography, has been at the cutting edge of the medium for the past 60 years.
Check out some of the shortlisted photographs from this year's awards:
