As flu season descends on Lancaster County, health department officials want to assure residents that there will be enough flu shots for those who want them.
Suzanne Sanders, public information officer for the S.C. Department of Health and Environmental Control Region Three, which includes Lancaster and York counties, said that unlike previous years, there will be no shortage of flu vaccine this year.
KERSHAW – A little rain didn't stop the Hog Jam in Kershaw on Saturday.
While some of the inflatable children's games were vacant in the morning, the smell of freshly cooked barbecue let you know the third annual event was still going strong.
Hundreds of people, many with umbrellas and rain jackets, flooded Kershaw's downtown area in search of some barbecue and a good time.
Lancaster resident Keith Melton said he heard good things about the Hog Jam in the past and wanted to come out to see it for himself.
If you were in the vicinity of Clinton Elementary School just before dawn Wednesday, you may have seen an unusual sight and heard an unusual sound.
The sight was students walking from Eastside Academy to Clinton Elementary School. The sound was a bagpipe.
Wednesday was International Walk to School Day, an event in which Clinton Elementary has participated the last three years. Its purpose is to emphasis the importance of exercise, as well as safe streets and communities.
First-term incumbent Wesley Grier, a Republican, faces fellow longtime Buford resident D.W. Cotton Cole, a Democrat, in the race for the County Council District 3 seat.
The district covers the Buford community, as well as the Camp Creek, Tradesville, Unity and Pleasant Dale communities.
Election Day is Nov. 4.
Wesley Grier
The exhibit building, long a staple of the Lancaster County Fair, will be closed this year due to decreased interest.
For years, the exhibit building featured homemade crafts and produce from local residents, but participation dropped significantly during the last few fairs.
George Rollings, a fair organizer and a member of the American Legion, which sponsors the event, said organizers decided to close the exhibit building altogether this year.
Founders Federal Credit Union formally unveiled its plans for its new 110,000-square-foot headquarters Thursday.
The three-story building, called the Corporate Center, will be built on a 30-acre parcel of land at Gillsbrook and Plantation roads. The company plans to break ground in November and expects the project to take about 20 months. The project is expected to cost about $32 million.
Plans for the building have been in development for over a year, as Founders, the county and the city of Lancaster have worked to reach an agreement on the new facility.
KERSHAW – The smell of barbecue will fill the air this weekend as the third annual Hog Jam Festival comes to downtown Kershaw.
The festival will also feature a barbecue cookoff, at least 25 craft and food vendors, various musical acts and plenty of activities for children. Joyce Adams, Hog Jam committee chairwoman, is hoping for a large crowd this year. The festival has averaged around 3,000 visitors.
WINNSBORO – On Oct. 18, 19, 25 and 26, the sounds of a steam locomotive will once again echo over the hills and fields of Fairfield County.
The steam train will be operating over a section of the S.C. Railroad Museum's rail line, the former Rockton & Rion Railway, a 12-mile short line built in the late 19th century to haul granite from the Anderson and Rion quarries to the Southern Railway interchange at Rockton.
In the early 1970s, the railroad operations ceased and the track laid idle the next 10 years.
A Lancaster Halloween tradition will kick off this weekend.
The Lancaster County Rescue Squad's 24th annual Haunted Forest opens tonight for those who love the thrills and chills of Halloween behind its building at Great Falls Highway and 10th Street Extension.
The forest will also be open Saturday, as well as Oct. 17-18, Oct. 24-25 and Oct. 31-Nov. 2.
Hours are from dark "until people quit coming," said squad member Mary Rouse.
INDIAN LAND – The Indian Land Action Council is holding a town hall meeting at 7 p.m. Wednesday so officials can discuss water quality. The meeting is at the Indian Land Elementary School media center.
The Lancaster County Water and Sewer District has worked to lower the level of a contaminant in the water it treats from the Catawba River in the past year.

The Addington/
Anyone else here a huge Hedwig fan? You know, the eponymous character from the off-Broadway-musical-turned-cultishly-adored-indie-film Hedwig and the Angry Inch, that one about the queer East German boy whose African-American G.I. male lover/sugar daddy encouraged him to get a sex change that did not go well, hence the "angry inch?" That one.
After Hedwig winds up a craggily transgendered, white-trash divorcee stuck in a Kansas trailer park, s/him sings a bittersweet number about what few pleasures life still holds, one being "vermouth on the rocks." So to 'splain -- no, there is too much, to sum up -- now you get what the above pic's all about. (An in-joke expressly styled for an audience of exactly moi? Probably.)
OK, my point is -- vermouth on the rocks, who drinks this anymore? I know they did back in the day before the counterculture hit, if only because it says so in this book I once read, New York in The 50s: Young adults and also James Baldwin got together at one another's cramped apartments in the Village and drank vermouth and then danced the Twist to Chubby Checker. So there must've been some sort of cool cachet surrounding vermouth back then, to balance out the fact that vermouth tastes yucky.
There, I said it. It tastes weird. I find vermouth very, very hard to like, or even palate. I once tried dry vermouth on the rocks behind the bar at work and spit it out. Do you know what the taste of vermouth, either kind, most reminds me of? Church wine. Unpleasantly sour; spoiled.*
*Speaking of spoiled, I'm gonna jump in here and do a quick 101 for those who'd like it.** Basically, vermouth is fortified wine -- wine to which a liquor has been added -- which is further flavored by various roots, herbs, etc. There are two kinds, each of which can be referred to in three different ways. Dry vermouth = French vermouth (as in, it was invented there) = "white" (or pale) vermouth. Sweet vermouth = Italian vermouth (same reason) = red vermouth. Both dry and sweet vermouth are made all over the world now, not just in their native France and Italy. There's no hard and fast recipe for vermouth other than what I mentioned above, so various brands can taste significantly different.
**The reason "spoiled" made me think of telling you all of this is because a big mistake people make with vermouth is treating it like liquor and storing it at room temperature. Don't! Treat them as wines: Keep them in the fridge after opening and get rid of them after six or so months. (For this reason, if you don't use vermouth often, you'll actually save yourself money by buying a smaller bottle.) There, you now know more about vermouth than well over half the world's population. OK, back to our program...
So you can imagine the trepidation with which I approached the Addington, an old-timey cocktail composed mainly of equal parts sweet and dry vermouth. From there, the recipe wavers depending on the source you consult. I've read that it should be topped with but the faintest splash of soda water, and I've read that the glass (whether up or rocks) should be filled with soda water. I've read lemon peel to garnish and I've read orange peel. I've read orange bitters but no orange peel and I've read vice versa.
How I ultimately chose to fashion my Addington was based on a few considerations. 1) I didn't want to use a significant amount of soda water; in that case, just make mine an Americano. 2) Also didn't feel like going the soda-water route because it's cold out. Americano-esque cocktails are best suited to sweltering, romantic piazzas. 3) Definitely wanted the bitters and the orange peel in there to distract my senses in case I still hated the taste of vermouth. 4) Wanted it rocks for same reason, to let the chill numb the flavor.
Do I like this Addington? Yes! In fact, I'm having my second right now. I actually think it makes for a mighty fine aperitif in that it is not at all sugary sweet. Very mature-tasting, if I do say so myself. Like the sort of hard-earned drink that every The Fire Next Time author or "Wig in a Box" chanteuse deserves.
The Addington
(Adapted from numerous sources, perhaps mostly this one)
1 1/2 ounces Martini & Rossi dry vermouth
1 1/2 ounces Cinzano sweet vermouth
1 dash Peychaud's Bitters
Orange twist, for garnish
Fill a highball glass with ice. Add vermouth and bitters and garnish. Stir briskly.
Tasting Notes
There are much fancier vermouths you can use if you want to play around with this: Noilly Prat is considered the French standard; Antica Formula ones are considered very high-end and worth it, etc.

Rest easy, Blackhawks fans. The Stanley Cup playoffs begin tonight, and Patrick Kane looks like for all the world like he's back to behaving like Patrick Kane, which is to say he and his middle finger were spotted at a bar in Lincoln Park the other night.
Update (1:42 p.m.): Turns out it's a guy who claims he gets mistaken all the time for Kaner.

Buon Natale, it's been a while since I've posted in these hallowed halls. Just stopping by brings many fond memories of nights chatting up what still is the greatest show of all time. Not to mention it was life changing for some like me. Well with all the good times i had here with Fly and others ,it's with great excitment i'm passing along what i'm hoping you'll find to be one of your favorite gifts this year. Some HBO producers have decided to create a podcast series call Crimetown . The 1st installment is a 17 part series on my hometown : Providence. Yes, you may remember my many colorful tales of growing up in a pretty colorful Italian section of RI capital city. You may also remember that quite a few of the writers and producers grew up or lived there as well. Quite a few of the characters and storylines were drawn directly from Federal Hill (the Atwells Ave Boys). So without further adieu, i give you Crimetown

Re: A little Christmas present for some old friends at The Chase Lounge#2
bloodshot, great to see your name on here again. Thanks so much for stopping by and posting this. Sounds like a very interesting project. Time is so short for me these days, I still haven't decorated my Christmas tree, haven't done my outside decorations (I might not even bother this year), and BARELY got Christmas cards in the mail today. So I hesitate to say I'll give any attention to anything that's not right in front of me. But I do listen to the odd podcast during gym workouts, and if you find this series is really good, I may load it up.
Merry Christmas to you in the meantime.:-)

All questions and answers are based on the 2008 NEC.
Q. How does the Code address diesel fuel dispensers as they relate to hazardous locations?
A. The hazardous Class I location requirements contained in Art. 514 only apply where a flammable liquid having a flash point below 100°F [Art. 100 Volatile Flammable Liquid] is stored, handled, or dispensed [514.3(B)]. The flash point of diesel fuel is 100°F or above; thus, the area involving diesel fuel is typically not a classified location. But if the conduit for the diesel dispenser passes through the Class I area around the gasoline dispenser, then the installation must comply with the sealing and wiring method requirements of Art. 501 ( Figure ).
Q. Can a receptacle be installed above a suspended ceiling?
A. Receptacles are permitted above a suspended ceiling, but a flexible cord is not [400.8(5)]. Why install a receptacle above a ceiling if the flexible cord is not permitted in this space? Because the receptacle can be used for portable tools, it just can't be used for cord-and-plug-connected equipment fastened in place, such as a projector.
Q. Can a 3-way switch be used as a generator transfer switch for a single circuit in a house?
A. Transfer equipment must be suitable for the intended use and designed/installed to prevent interconnection of the utility and generator supply [702.6]. According to the UL White Book (category QJQR), "snap switches have not been investigated for switching a load between two alternate sources of supply." Therefore, 110.3(B) would prohibit using a 3-way switch for transfer equipment.
Q. Can a light fixture and its associated wiring be mounted to a tree?
A. Trees can be used to support luminaires [410.36(G)], but they must not be used to support overhead conductor spans [225.26].
Q. Where does the Code require removal of line voltage conductors and raceways that are no longer in use?
A. Abandoned line voltage conductors are only required to be removed in cellular concrete floor raceways [372.13], cellular metal floor raceways [374.7], underfloor raceways [390.7], and information technology equipment [640.5(F)].
Q. Can service conductors go directly to a transfer switch, without a disconnect upstream of the transfer switch?
A. Electrical equipment must not be connected to the supply side of the service disconnect enclosure, except for the equipment listed in 230.82, which does not include transfer switches. If the transfer switch is the service disconnect and is marked as "suitable for use as service equipment" [230.66], it can be used as the service disconnect, which complies with this rule.
Q. I am remodeling an existing commercial building that has Type NM cable installed above the suspended ceiling. With this in mind, can I also install new Type NM cable above the suspended ceiling?
A. Type NM cable isn't allowed to be exposed in dropped or suspended ceilings in other than one-family, two-family, and multifamily dwellings [334.12(A)(2)]. Although this was allowed in many buildings under previous Code editions, you must comply with this rule now that it is no longer permitted.

9/27/13 Indians at Twins: Target Field
In my second-to-last game of the season, look who decided to join me at an unfamiliar gate:
It was Paul Kom. Actually, though, there are a couple odd things with this picture. Yes, we were both at a gate very foreign to the both of us, but 1. You may notice I'm pointing to my glove. I decided to go with a catcher's mitt this game instead of my lefty glove. 2. We thought of this idea completely independently of each other. You see there was also another person joining us for this game, my friend Jonathan Mueller. You may remember him best as the person who joined me on the night I snagged my only home run off the bat of Trevor Plouffe. Well Jonathan and I both walked from the University of Minnesota campus. In doing so, we almost *had* to pass by Gate 34. In doing so, I saw Paul and the man most commonly known as "Waldo", formerly know as Greg Dryden:
It was at that point that I informed Jonathan we were going to go to Gate 6 in right field. I made the decision that I didn't want to compete with both of them in right field as the gates opened, so I was going to go to left field. I decided to go to Gate 6 since I had seen the people from there get into the left field seats faster than myself the last few times when I came from Gate 3 in center field. Less than a minute after getting there, I got a text message from Paul asking me if I had gotten to the stadium yet. This inquiry quickly led to him telling me that he planned to come to Gate 6. Keep in mind that he had no clue I was there.
Once we got in, I quickly ran into the left field seats whereas Paul went first to the seats down the left field line. The result? A quick 1-0 Mateo lead. As I was running down the steps of the left field seats, a Twins righty hit a ball in the first section from the foul pole. I COMPLETELY lost the ball in the sun, so I ducked for cover instead of running towards the spot I thought the ball was going to land, but when it did land, I ran over and grabbed it for my first ball of the day:
I think this next picture may be me telling Paul about it once he got back in the left field seats:
Or maybe I was just telling him what Shairon Martis' name is. I'm not really sure which.
Then when the Indians started throwing down the left field line, I headed over there. There, I got Michael Brantley to toss me a ball. Extra-super special e-shoutout on Twitter to whoever can find the ball in this next picture:
Here's a hint:
And for fun, here's a picture right after I caught the ball:
I then headed out to the flag court where I did a bunch of running after baseballs like this one:
Only one of which I actually ended up getting. Here's a four-picture collage I put together to show you what happened:
Top left: Me seeing the ball bounce off the concrete past the guy who was in front of me.
Top right: Looking up at now again-airborne ball as it floated through the air.
Bottom left: Me watching the ball that is now on its descent and in the frame of the picture hoping that my catcher's glove would be able to make the catch.
Bottom right: Nor with all of the eyes out on the flag court on me, making the catch–much to the chagrin of the guy pursuing the ball from behind.
My next two baseballs came from the same person. When I went to the right-center field seats, there was a kid there who asked Chris Perez for a ball. When Perez threw it into the flower bush, I ran down, and made it very clear that I gave the ball to the kid after pulling it out of the flowers. As a "reward" for doing this, Perez then tossed me the next ball he fielded:
Coincidentally, Jonathan took a picture at this same exact moment:
And that would be my last ball of batting practice.
After BP, all three of us–myself, Jonathan, and Paul–went to the bullpen. Both Paul and I got one of these there:
If you can't tell the autograph, I got mine from Anthony Swarzak. I don't remember who tossed Paul his two. Let me explain what these balls are and why I didn't count this as a "snag." Every fan appreciation weekend of the year, the Twins each sign one of these tee balls and toss them into a random part of the crowd. I didn't count mine because while it did come Anthony Swarzak, a major league pitcher, it was still a tee ball and felt cheap.
We then decided to all stay in the left field seats and play home runs for the game. In the second inning, though, I looked at my Twitter timeline and noticed that the Twins sent out this tweet:
Granted, we had already missed the first two innings of the contest at that point, but I still asked both Paul and Jonathan if they wanted to do it. They did, and actually got three of the baseballs to my none. Paul got the first two baseballs after we started:
And Jonathan was in the right spot and was able to get the final autograph ball:
We then went to the flag court and took advantage of another perk of Fan Appreciation Weekend. When we saw a Target Field employee with a box, we realized that it was them about to hand out some sort of prize to the section on behalf of some Twins player. Because of what we thought was going to happen, I went and sat down in the section right before the inning break. And as a result, I got a bag of Cracker Jack:
But I wasn't the only one. Jonathan was smart enough to act on my observation as well and got a bag for himself:
And that was it for the excitement during the game. After the game, all three of us headed down to the dugout. Paul and I tried for an umpire ball. Here's a shot Jonathan got of both myself and Paul asking home plate umpire Tony Randazzo for a ball. (I'm on the far left and Paul's on the far right.)
Good for us, both were able to get a ball from him:
But don't feel bad for Jonathan. In looking through the seats for ticket stubs to send to my friend Avi Miller, I found this for him:
And with that upside-down bag of chips, all of us left to go to Paul's car, and we all went home; Paul staying at my apartment for the night before heading of to the game the next afternoon.

My Life: TL;DR doesn't exist.
So you might wonder why I bothered to make this thread, and more importantly, who gives a damn. You don't have to, I figured maybe one person might be interested, so I'm quite alright with that. If not, oh well.
Originally, I was going to start a thread of, my life 500 words or less. I've come to realize that despite how long I've been here, not many of you know much about me. I do not have an exciting life, nothing to cry over, or be amazed by. I am average. I am not speaking of coming from the dirt and stepping up the ladder. I've literally known some of the people here for 8+ years, so I figured I'd share. However, this is abridged, and many details are left vague on purpose, so don't get lost.
Born, 1990 in North Carolina. I am first generation American born Chinese. I am not fluent in Chinese, as my parents figured it would be too hard on me growing up in an all English speaking society. I've gone to private school for most of my life, unfortunately, but I suppose it was worth it in the end. While growing up, my parents were rather harsh, though I've come to realize they were not the harshest of people I know. In my childhood, I don't have many 'kind memories' with my father, and my mother was always working. We were not well off, but we had enough money to get by without worrying to much, with limited entertainment excursions.
A little about my mother:
My mother was in nursing school overseas for some time. She came to the states, and became licensed. She started working, and then moved. There she worked and went to school. In time, she graduated this school and started teaching alongside working in a hospital. Soon after, she went into business school for her masters and graduated in my elementary years. She works 3 jobs, for no particular reason except to help people. Unfortunately, it has taken a toll on her health. She has had two surgeries on her back, and is still in pain, and new nerves are being pinched.
My mother pushed me through music, through piano. I was good, no doubt about it, but I did not try. I hated practicing, and so my funding for my lessons was cut short. One of the biggest regrets I have of my past. I played trumpet, and taught myself guitar (and now mandolin).
A little about my father: He was born the oldest in a family of 7 other siblings, with a mother who died when he was only 13, and a father who was always working. He came to America for an education, and got it. He pursued his masters and PhD in Neuroscience, but was thoroughly misinformed about his field and never pushed if further into his career. Since then, he's been a stay at home dad (as far as I can remember) and a trader by day.
My father pushed me through school, though he really didn't. He pushed me to match his goals so as to avoid getting in trouble. Though now I realize how childish it was to look at it that way. As life progressed, there were times here and there where I know he really cared for my well being, and was not just being that mean jerk I thought he was. Sometimes, though, he's still very misunderstanding and stubborn. We're different people, but so similar at the same time, so we butt heads rather often.
My parents never really were the typical parents when it came to my social life. They didn't tell me to say no to cigarettes, drugs, and alcohol. But, I somehow developed my own 'immunization' towards them. The taste of alcohol is terrible to me, as well as it's smell. Cigarettes are far too disgusting to me, and drugs, well, the smell of marijuana gives me a headache. The other drugs... A waste of money, in my opinion. For whatever reason, I never developed the taste for these sorts of these things, which is fine by me. But my parents never talked about it with me.
My brother and I got along for a while, but as we grew older, we grew apart. Our interests fell in polar ends. He went far with music (piano, trombone -- marching band, jazz ensemble, jazz quartet), where as I picked up lacrosse, played paintball at a less recreational level, and spent a lot of my time with friends. By the time I got into high school, my brother had moved into college, and for whatever reason (likely maturity), we grew closer than we ever had before. By the time I got to college, we really had the ability to connect, as I am essentially following his footsteps. My brother is my role model. I strive to achieve in my life what he has achieved in his. However, I've come to realize we look to each other for advice on many topics, though I ask more often than him.
I didn't get into the school I wanted to get into. To be honest, when I applied for schools, I had no clue what I wanted. I just picked one that was reasonable and reputable. My brother went private from a public school, and I did the opposite. Attending a well known state school for engineering, I went with mechanical engineering. School is tough. I am not a exceedingly intelligent student. In fact, I'm a terrible test taker. By the time I graduate, I will hopefully only have been here for 4.5 years, but will have taken about 5 years worth of hours (15 hour semesters) because I screwed up too much.
In my life, I have dated two girls. Each for a span of 2.5+ years. My first girlfriend I started dating when I was in 8th grade, when I was 14/15. I was friends with her prior to our 'romantic-relationship' and she dated one of my best and oldest (time and age) friends. Things went sour for them, and for whatever reason she put me in the middle of it. At one point or another, she ended up dating me. At the time, I had no intentions of dating, as it never occurred to me as a possibility. It showed through this relationship. The focus was all wrong. In the end, she cheated on me, and that was the end of that for me. But not for her. She stalked me, and creeped on me, stole my belongings, and broke some as well. She was rather violent, and the worst part was she was in my homeroom/advisory. However, this cleared up by the time I became a senior in high school.
My second, and most recent girlfriend, was a storybook meeting. I met her at the beach, and I've written a nine-page story/explanation on this, so I will cut it short. She was a year younger than me, and was at the beach with her good friend. She ended up being only 100 miles down the road from me, and we after spending 3 days in person, and series of texts, instant messages, and an average of 3 hour phone calls (max of 5, no joke), I took her to my senior formal (3 or so months later + several weekend trips). At this point, I told her I loved her.
Beyond this is a mix of this relationship and my life.
We continued dating as I moved into college, and she began her senior year, things were awesome. Her family took me in as their own, and I love(d) them for it. At the end of the year, she didn't get in the colleges she wanted to get into (she's a damn smart girl and got a 90k scholarship, but to a very expensive private school that she had no interest in what they were offering academically), so she decided to take a year off. She left the states and volunteered outside pursuing what she found she truly loved in life. At the end of the first semester, she came back to the states, but ended up spending the second semester with her sister in Arizona, doing god knows what. Just as well, she had been accepted into a good school that she applied to. The relationship ended, leaving out all the bits and details. My grades plummeted, and thus began last summer. Since then, it's just been school, and my grades have raised, but not all that much. To be honest, I am still recovering from this girl, but all is well.
I work part time as agricultural support for a horticultural field lab. I live with people who drive me insane, but can't afford to live by myself. I am nervous for how lost I will be when I graduate, but feel confident enough in myself that it will work out. People these days seem to be betting worse and worse, and it makes me feel terrible.
TL;DR - I was born, so here I am.
Good times, good times.

Re: My Life: TL;DR doesn't exist.
leed, its amazing how parallel our lives have run. sure, theres some major differences (oldest of 4, dad was a grunt in the army, etc) but coming from a family that valued (ok, mabye pushed is a better word) education above everything else, i totally see where youre coming from.
and as an engineering dropout (well, changed to IT), i have mad respect for engineering students. i have nowhere near the time and patients it takes to properly learn calculus.
maybe one day i'll write one of these too...

Re: My Life: TL;DR doesn't exist.
Leed, I've always respected you and considered you a friend. I enjoyed reading your life story. Since joining this forum I have made some really good friends, most of them I have never met in person, nor do I know a ton about their personal life, outside general stuff. I didn't know that you and your girlfriend broke up (I can't remember how to spell her name, I know it starts with a D and is something funky, pretty sure there is an "x" in there). Keep working hard Leed, it will payoff and I'm absolutely sure you will do just fine once you graduate, just don't forget about us

Re: My Life: TL;DR doesn't exist.
My parents ALWAYS pushed on me for grades and everything like drugs and the likes, and look what happened to me. I barely graduated with a little above a 2.0 GPA thanks to the grace of my teachers, I've honestly done more drugs than I'd like to admit(but hey, we're all family here, right? ), and I had my fair share of hangovers as well. You seem like a strong headed person who when they want something, they set their sites on it and do anything they can to obtain it.
You've always been one of my favorites on the KUSA boards Leed, and that'll never change. I know we haven't talked much lately, but I can honestly say that it would be awesome to meet you someday and just hang out and enjoy life as it is, one giant adventure.
If you stand for nothing you will fall for anything.

Well, I'll be honest, I didn't expect this kind of response. However, I'm glad that those of you who read were able to take something from it (whether or not it's useful, haha). There are several on here that have been an influence on me, (some who no longer post) and it's always been good to have you all there, and I certainly hope to not forget. I definitely will not be forgetting the way the KUSA 'OG's' used to be.

This post is for World Bird Wednesday.I enjoy walking along the bay down from the Mullens picnic area. It's closer to my home than any other area of the bay and there is also a sandy edge for when the tide is well in. I take more photos there than anywhere else because when I am there first thing in the morning the light is constantly changing. Changing light changes one's perceptions of everything else as well.
This Little Egret was walking almost directly between me and the rising sun but only a minute later it had walked around me and looked quite different.
This group of Pelicans were almost in silhouette when I first saw them.
When they moved further along the bay their colors became visible.
They were moving in what looked like a stately line along the bay but they must have been driving fish ahead of them because every now and again there would be splashes and flutters from part of the line as some of the birds competed to catch fish.

LOUIS VUITTON FIFTEEN GIRLS DESCENDING A STAIRCASE BAG COLLECTIONCATEGORIES:Louis Vuitton
'15 models descending a staircase' is the name of this Ad Campaign. And 15 models are carrying the Pre-Fall 2015 handbags from Louis Vuitton.
Our eyes are focused, zooming in on the bags they're carrying…
The highlights…
We do not need to introduce the Petite Malle Shoulder Bag – and we do not need to convince you that it's a must-have as it's inspired by the Classic Trunks.
But what we do want to talk about is the brand-new Louis Vuitton Doc Bag carried by Jingwen. It's a classic bag with a little twist. Designed to carry while dressed in casual styles. You will love it.
The Doc bag is in shiny monogram canvas with black leather frame. And when I look closer, it's actually the iconic speedy bag with a few upgrades. It's made with a rock and modern style in mind, refined with Matter-leather corners (in black but also different colors). It features with removable strap and it's really the modern version of the original Speedy Bag. The strap is also embellished with monogram canvas print, absolutely adorable. We will talk more in details later on.
And for those that are in love with the Almba Bag, the new style (just like the speedy) is made with rock style leather corners and designed in different color. Our bag-intuition tells us that this orange version in combination with monogram canvas is one of the most gorgeous accessories of the Fall 2015 Collection. Tie a shawl around the handles to create a distinguished style. More details coming soon.

Mine is a macbook pro 3,1 with a 2.4Ghz C2D.
the thing is, i've watched more anime then and i've never noticed high cpu usage like that. It could be some background process (damn i miss iStat menu )
I would try with a 1080p file but i don't remember any at the moment to check the cpu usage. I might try tonight so i'll post something when i check it.
If i'm not mistaken my currently cpu usage while watching 720p is around 30% max. I must check this information carefully while using the laptop (which i'm not atm )
I'll post more info tonight to clear up my doubts and results

It would be interesting to see OpenCL implementation in FFmpeg. they just implemented dual-core support and with the growth of hackintosh users, the implementation of OpenCL might be faster than we think which is a good thing

The Hackintosh community already have Snow Leopard running on a vanilla Intel machines already... it will probably take awhile until we see AMD computers be able to use Snow Leopard.
I'm also curious if Mplayer OSX Extended can take avantage of Grand Central Dispatch so it can better take avantage of multi-core systems, but that requires that the program to be written only for Snow Leopard only, which leaves PPC, Leopard and Tiger users in the dust... Also, I'm hoping that MPlayer will become a 64-bit program on Snow Leopard...

i'm not really used to OS X programming but, can't it be written in a way that the compilation process differs from the versions in the same code? i mean, put all the code together, then with compilation flags turn the 10.6 features on or off depending on the target system.
i guess that turning mplayer into 64bit and taking advantage of Grand Central Dispatch will be quite a rewrite in the code, and since mplayer devs are a bit lazy on the mac side IMHO (i say this because it doesn't seem to have so much support as the other systems) i don't see that coming unless some team starts rewriting mplayer from ground zero

forget about mplayer using GCD, ffmpeg might use OpenCL in the future but that is a hard call.
edit: Can anyone build this http://repo.or.cz/w/libass.git on OSX? It is giving me problems.

Ok i've done a few tests with 720p anime yesterday.
i've watched 3 different files from different anime and during playback, and monitoring with activity monitor, i got around 50-60% cpu usage during playback. sometimes spikes but must be of some scenes or somebackground processes (i've seen fc-cache running out of nowhere on background).
I'm going to try a 1080p tonight and check the usage. i do remember my laptop running very hot during 1080p playback of some movies but i don't remember it getting this hot while 720p playback (temperature is around 75º).
It's not that big of a problem for me but, cpu usage is way higher than expected. Didn't Grand Central Dispatch already "auto optimize" programs for dual core usage? if that's the case, it might be some conflict with ffmpeg-mt.
Oh and i forgot to mention, i'm always using FFMpeg-MT. Gonna try with normal to see the differences.

So close, yet so far... Oh, if it's important, I'm running Snow Leopard.

EDIT: I looked into your error and yes it is a Snow Leopard problem. Apparently it it generating bad assembly code or something.
Try if this compiled version works on SL (it has ordered chapters and new libass to support stuff like qIIq bakemonogatari). You still need to install the dependencies with macports since the libraries are liked dynamically.

By default, everything in Snow Leopard tries to build as x86_64 code, and apparently mplayer doesn't like this. You need to change your configure line so that it includes --extra-cflags="-I/opt/local/include -arch i386", and also you need to build all your ports with universal binary support (so that the libraries have i386 and x86_64 code, instead of just x86_64). I did it the other day, and had a sticking point with libmad--I had to build it twice and assemble the universal binary with lipo.

After a bit of poking around, here's a configure string which worked for me to build a 64-bit mplayer binary under Snow Leopard. Use at your own risk, as I've tested it on a grand total of two videos so far. I used the latest source available from git, following pigoz's instructions otherwise.
./configure --target=x86_64-Darwin --disable-x11 --disable-gl --disable-mencoder --disable-sdl --enable-apple-remote --enable-macosx-bundle --enable-macosx-finder --disable-liba52-internal --disable-mp3lib --disable-qtx --extra-cflags=-I/opt/local/include --extra-ldflags=-L/opt/local/lib

I'm gonna try starting clean again, but I'm posting this first, does anyone have any idea why it failed? My only guess is that some parts from my failed x86 compile were left behind to confuse the x86_64 compiler.
Also, what did qtx, liba52, and mp3lib do and why were they disabled? Didn't they compile on 64bit?
EDIT: Okay, a make clean, reconfigure and make once more generated a working executable! Not only that, a few command line tests show it does play ordered chapters! Only issue now is that it was lagging mightily on 480p, but it's quite possible other apps are causing that. Anyone else having performance issues? Also, is this compile multi-threaded?

If you built it with pigoz's instructions (doing the second round of git checkout, etc.), it should be multi-threaded. I noticed a problem with some AVIs that use mp3 soundtracks--they wouldn't play audio and the picture eventually froze; I assume this is due to using libmad instead of the built in mp3lib. (Remuxing the files as MKV solved the issue, but obviously this isn't a solution for everyone.) Other than that, performance seemed to be on the level with x86, maybe a little better on high bitrate H264.
QTX is supposedly "support for QuickTime formats", I figure that can be safely skipped. liba52 is for decoding ac3; the one that came with mplayer wouldn't compile, but the standalone port did. MP3lib is an mp3 decoding library, it's something else that wouldn't compile as a built-in module, and libmad is supposed to provide the same functionality.
Unfortunately I don't know enough about mplayer internals to properly report or fix these bugs, I just disabled things/switched to external libraries until I got a working compile that played the things I threw at it

guys you are using a building method that I haven't been using for weeks. To check out a more elegant way to compile mplayer refer to this.
As always this is tested on Leopard, maybe darukaru can test this on SL (sorry I'm not too fond of being an early betatester for SL).

I might try building mplayer on my old Macbook Pro since I have already installed the XCode tools (which came with Snow Leopard) to compile it already... so I will give it a try since I have some free time.
Edit: While trying to finally build it, it seems to fail to build with a Error 2 on Snow Leopard. Making Terminal run in 32-bit mode did not help either.
Here is the specific error:
make[1]: *** [libpostproc/postprocess.o] Error 1
make: *** [ffmpeg] Error 2

Here is the full build log, it seems that the build fails when building ffmpeg.

Its a snow leopard problem: having problems compiling in 64bit. I'm not really sure how to fix that.
You could try disabling libpostproc from the script/ffmpeg-config if you don't plan on using post processing filters, or force a 32bit build.

Tokyo 2020
On 7 September 2013, outgoing International Olympic Committee President Jacques Rogge declared "The Games of the 32nd Olympiad in 2020 are awarded to the city of... Tokyo!" The IOC decision in Buenos Aires, Argentina sees the Games return to Japan's capital Tokyo over half a century after hosting the Games in 1964.
Needing a majority of 48 votes to win, Tokyo rocketed ahead of Candidate Cities Istanbul and Madrid in the opening round of voting with 42 votes, compared with 26 to both Istanbul and Madrid. In an elimination tiebreak between Madrid and Istanbul - embarking on their third and fifth bids respectively - the Spanish capital was eliminated by four votes. This left Tokyo - the third placegetter in the 2016 race - and Turkey's Istanbul in the final round of voting. Tokyo secured 60 votes to win the 2020 Olympic Games in a bid that was described as the best technical bid.
Tokyo promises to be a very compact Games. The majority of venues will be within an 8km radius of an Athletes' Village with spectacular city views. Using the legacy of the 1964 Games, some of these venues will be refurbished for the 2020 Games. Of the 33 total venues, 11 will be newly built. A new national stadium will be built for the 2019 Rugby World Cup on the site of the stadium for the 1964 Games. The new arena will host the Opening and Closing Ceremonies, as well as athletics.

HOUSTON -- New Texans head coach Bill O'Brien opened his first minicamp practice Tuesday without Pro Bowl wide receiver Andre Johnson, but with running back Arian Foster, who fully participated in the two-hour-long, non-contact session.
Johnson was a no-show at the voluntary workouts but O'Brien said he wasn't bothered. He's only concerned about coaching the 63 guys that were in attendance.
One of those was Foster, who had a microscopic discectomy procedure in November after a season-ending injury. Foster was a full participant, easing any thoughts that he might be damaged goods. He won't endure any contact until training camp later this summer but O'Brien said Foster is completely cleared to play football on all counts.
Things went like a typical first day of drills, O'Brien said. There were a lot of missed throws by quarterbacks Ryan Fitzpatrick, T.J. Yates and Case Keenum, a lot of missed assignments and a loud, brief scolding of offensive players by O'Brien at the outset of the workout because of the lack of attention to detail.
Though it wasn't a high-octane, we-want-to-win-a-championship-in-May, grind of a practice, offensive tackle Duane Brown said it felt somewhat like training camp. Even so, O'Brien's straight-shooting approach is more than welcome after players came unglued last season, Brown said.
The way things went it was almost as if the draft weren't just two days away -- but, of course, it is. And Houston has the first overall pick.
While there wasn't much mention of South Carolina defensive end Jadeveon Clowney, Buffalo linebacker Khalil Mack or Texas A&M quarterback Johnny Manziel during the few hours on the field, at least one of those players and an augmented roster are expected to join the team by the end of the weekend.
O'Brien admitted that the three-day minicamp will help determine some things regarding the draft. However, the first pick has been decided and unless Houston gets a trade offer it can't refuse, it will use the pick.
Clowney and Mack are the two players considered as the front-runners for the top pick. O'Brien said a quarterback will be drafted. But that's unlikely with the top pick. Houston could use the top pick in the second round to nab a quarterback.
The Texans quarterbacks were erratic at best during the first practice but that is hardly unusual when a new scheme is being installed and players are figuring out where to throw the ball and what routes to run -- and the best wide receiver on the team isn't around.

Throughout the years, the company concentrated on making its own components. Munktells Mekaniska Verkstads AB started making steam engines very early on and did much to develop them. However, they realised in time that the steam engine was being replaced by the internal combustion engine.
The technical genius J T Munktell took an early interest in the development of the steam engine throughout Europe. While visiting England, he acquired technical insights into this engine, which was used there to power locomotives, among other things. In his work with Samuel Owen, who started an engineering plant in Stockholm in 1805, he was able to learn even more about steam engines.
The first steam locomotive in Sweden - dubbed "Förstlingen" (The first born) - was completed in August 1853.
In 1854, Munktells Mekaniska Verkstads AB also presented Sweden's first traction engine. More than 6500 traction engines left the gates of the company up to 1921, when manufacture was discontinued.

When I posted my latest Deathwing army build the other day, it was met with mixed reviews. Naturally, it's designed for how I want to play and is used against only a handful of people. It wasn't until I came across the post Revising the Dark Angels by Warpstone Pile that talked about his problems with Deathwing where he mentioned the term "social contract" in the comments section of that particular post.
It's not something you hear very often, but it's something we all enter into when we go to play a game of 40k. My Deathwing doesn't fit within the usual social contract players make between each other and that can be a problem.
So what is this social contract?
Good question. For me, it's an unwritten agreement between you and your opponent to play 40k a certain way (usually within the accepted rules provided by GW). I would venture to say that the average social contract between two players means you are going to play your game with a legal army using the rules that GW provides in their core rulebook at a mutually agreed upon point level and you're not going to deviate from those rules (or act like a complete monkey either). It's why we can all go to our local game store and play against anyone else with an army, we're all on the same page.
But my army (as it's built now) won't allow me to enter into the standard social contract. It's not a legal army and I'm not playing within the "rules." This is perfectly fine though... I just need to find an opponent willing to agree to play with me using a modified contract so to say. It means I'm not able to just swing by my local store and find someone to play against like anyone else can do. I understand this and that's why I generally play against a few select people or as it's known to us, the Thursday Night Old Timer's League.
So what's more important, the standard contract or playing the game the way you want? If you like to play as I would guess 99 percent of players do (well within the rules) then there is no issue as your way of playing matches perfectly with the standard social contract. But what do you do when you don't want to play within the generally accepted rules?
I wonder if it takes a certain kind of player. I'm sure it does, but what is it that opens someone up to playing under a modified contract? Is it their approach to the game? How about how long they've been playing? Does it matter how old they are? Does being a parent or having a family make difference? How about how much money they have to put into the hobby? Who knows for sure.
I do know that it can be hard to step away from the rules and go your own route. It brings a whole host of additional issues and potential problems to the table that weren't there before. It can be a bit more work (list building) with your army. It means potentially less games with fewer opponents. It can mean having to explain yourself and why you're not using the standard social contract.
So why even do it in the first place then?
Strange thing is, if you asked me to play against someone with a "modified contract" a year ago, I would have probably said no thanks. But it's a different story these days for me. The game has changed for me over the past year. Is it worth it? I think so.

The Kenyan Ministry of Tourism announced Thursday that eight black rhinoceroses had died following a botched attempt to start a new population of the critically endangered species.
The eight animals likely died of salt poisoning, a release says. The rhinos were unaccustomed to the level of salt in water in their new environment and could not adapt.
In salt poisoning, high salt levels in the water lead animals to become dehydrated. They then began to drink more salty water – a cycle that can eventually kill them.
"This is a major conservation tragedy, not just for Kenya but for all rhinos. It's surprising because Kenya (KWS) has conducted many successful large scale translocations of rhinos before," Paula Kahumbu, CEO of Wildlife Direct, a conservation group with a focus on Africa's critically endangered species, wrote on Facebook.
"I dread to think of the suffering that these poor animals endured before they died. We need to know what went wrong so that it never happens again."
The eight rhinos were among 11 that had been moved between national parks in Kenya — a process known as translocation. In their new home at Tsavo East National Park, they were meant to start a rhino population in a newly created sanctuary.
Translocation is a common conservation tactic, The Washington Post reports. The practice allows endangered species to start new populations in remote areas where they will be insulated from danger and are more likely to thrive.
More: Pride of lions eat suspected 'rhino poachers' on South African game reserve
More: Northern white rhino could be saved from extinction using embryos
It's a process Kahumbu likened to moving gold bullion — it's difficult, expensive, risky and requires careful planning.
The Ministry of Tourism's says the three remaining rhinos at the sanctuary are being provided with fresh water as authorities investigate the incident.
Originally, a total of 14 rhinos were to be moved to the sanctuary. Those plans are now on hold, as are all black rhinoceros translocations, the release says.
There less than 5,400 of the species alive, according to the World Wildlife Fund. It reports that the deadliest threat to the species is poaching — rhino horns are a lucrative and illegal trade.
Overall, translocating rhinos has been a successful effort, the Ministry of Tourism said.
It said that between 2005 and 2017 nearly 150 rhinos had been translocated with only eight deaths, excluding the most recent incident.
