www.littlelacysurprisepageant.com is a website on the internet in Grand Theft Auto IV.
The website is a sting site set up by the Liberty City Police Department to catch people trying to access child pornography, and it is spoken of on Weazel News. When the player visits the site, they find a warning message from LCPD saying that their IP address has been logged and "WE SEE IT ALL, WE KNOW IT ALL". Upon leaving the internet cafe or exiting the browser, the player automatically receives a five star wanted level for attempting to view child pornography; this also indicates that the LCPD has a very low and lethal tolerance towards pedophiles. The police radio can be heard as the player accesses the website or leaves the browser; the dispatcher describes the player as a "sexual deviant attempting to access explicit images."
Like the LCPD website and unlike other in-game websites, littlelacysurprisepageant.com has a generic site description, simply stating "Website for child beauty pageants," underneath its URL on the LuckyFind search page whereas other websites have slogans associated with the site's products and services.
The website's address is a reference to the children's underwear manufacturer Little Lacy Surprise heard advertised in Grand Theft Auto: Vice City Stories.
There is a delay before the player actually gains the five star wanted level. If the player accesses the site from a TW@ internet cafe, exits the browser immediately (while the police scanner goes off), and commits a one star level crime (robbing the cash register, discharging any firearm, etc.), the player only receives a one star level instead of the lethal five stars.

"So why did you come back?" Myra asked me after a long moment.
"Why did you come back? After all this time, why come back now? I don't think I'm going to believe that you suddenly developed a misplaced parenting gene and decided to pop in to see if you had knocked me up and had a daughter to raise, and I'm sure as hell not going to believe you came back to see me again for another tumble after all these years."
"Oh don't be all outraged, Em, I'm pretty sure he's heard it all before."
"I have, and more besides. But to answer your question, I didn't."
"Didn't what?"
"Didn't come back. At least, not intentionally. I was just riding along on my way back East, and got hungry. So I pulled in at the next stop. It wasn't until I walked into the diner that I remembered that this was your place."
"You…forgot me?"
"No! No, I didn't forget you, I just didn't remember that this was your place until I walked in. And honestly, if I had remembered, I probably would have kept on rolling. You know, trying not to reconnect and all that."
"So you stopped because you just happened to get hungry near my exit?"
"Well, not exactly." This from Michael, who had apparently forgotten my instructions to keep his mouth shut, and had either forgotten or was choosing to ignore the outcome of our last interaction, that last day in the Garden.
You see, Michael was the right hand of the Man. The hand that held the flaming sword, and was in charge of enforcing Dad's edicts. So when we were tossed out of the Garden, it was Michael that did the tossing. Or at least, it was Michael that started the process. In the end it took several of the archangels to get the job done, and some of them looked a little the worse for wear when it was over. Michael particularly had seen better days. I'm pretty sure I broke his nose in the scuffle.
That may have been the first day of Knowledge of Good and Evil, but my sense of right and wrong was pretty deeply instilled long before, and when he put his hands on Eve and she cried out in pain as he twisted her arm behind her back to remove her from the only home we'd ever known, I reacted without thinking. Further reflection brought me to the conclusion that had I thought before I socked the head of the militant Archangels in the snoot, I would have done the same thing. Every time.
So there was no love lost between Michael and I, and this revelation that he may have had something to do with this uncomfortable reunion (not to mention the repeated slapping of my face) led me to turn, very slowly, and face the immaculately dressed scion of heaven.
"What do you mean, not exactly? And let's have an answer without any of the standard angelic obfuscation, if you don't mind too terribly." I can affect a pretty solid posh British accent of my own when the situation warrants, and I felt like it definitely warranted.
"Wouldn't dream of it, my boy." He knew I hated it when he called me that. I always did. "I may have manipulated your hunger pangs a little to bring you to this place. These ladies are very important, and have a very important role to play in what is coming."
"And what, exactly, is coming, Michael? And what do you have to do with it?"
"Well, Adam, ever since you and Eve left the Garden, things have been moving toward this final confrontation."
"You're obfuscating. What confrontation?"
"Just because you're obtuse does not mean that I am obfuscating. The final confrontation of Good and Evil, Adam. The choice between Right and Wrong, between God and Satan, between Order and Chaos. The Choice."
"Oh." I knew this was coming eventually. Dad explained to me back in the Garden that when he gave us free will, he knew that eventually we would have to make a final choice between the Light and the Dark. I always thought the "we" he was talking about was each individual, that everyone made their own choice, but Michael was making it sound like there was one big Choice that was going to happen that would decide the fate of the whole human race.
"Of course there is," he said when I expressed my thoughts to him. "There was one Choice all those years ago in the Garden, and Eve made it. She chose Chaos, and you were removed from the Garden. Had she chosen us over your friend the Lightbringer, you and all your descendants would have grown and lived in the Garden forever. But she chose poorly, and humanity has suffered for it for millennia. This choice is like that one, and will be made just like that one was, by a random human on behalf of you all."
Silence hung heavy in the afternoon air as we all contemplated the angel's words. Michael couldn't lie, the Archangels never learned how, so what he said was certain to be truth. It might not be the whole truth, since angels certainly knew how to hold things back, but this didn't feel like one of those times. Of course, I hadn't had any of my long talks with the seraphim in a few thousand years, so I suppose they could have learned a few new things.
"That's not fair." My head snapped around and my eyes locked on Emily, who stood beside the picnic table, eyes glistening as she stared a hole into Michael. "I'm not going to abide by the decision of some person who hasn't even been chosen yet who knows nothing about me and has no right to make decision that will affect my whole life and the life of generations to come. That's just not fair and I'm not going to put up with it!"
"My dear girl, not only is it fair, it's the basis for your entire country!"
Michael laughed. "Your entire idealized existence is run by people who don't know you and couldn't care less. This is just more representative governance, dearie, and you will deal with it because no one asked your opinion. Leave the grown-up talk to the grown-ups and go back inside to your dishes. We'll call you when you're needed."
Emily walked up to Michael, looked him square in his sky-blue eyes, and slapped the shit out of him. Then she spun on her heel, marched over to the picnic table and sat there, jaw set, daring anyone to try to make her move. Yep, that's my kid, I thought.
"You deserved that one, Mikey. Now what's the deal, really? Somebody somewhere is going to run into Lucky, get tempted, and they're going to make another Eve-level Choice? I thought we were a little far along the road for that."
"Oh no, Adam, not at all, not at all. This Choice will be so much more that Eve's little choice that she may as well be forgotten by history. This Choice will determine the true outcome of humanity. You see, now they've seen what Chaos is. They've seen the Dark. When Eve made her decision to bite the fruit, you two had no idea what the Dark was. You had no frame of reference, so Eve's decision was made in a vacuum. A little unfair, really, that she's taken so much blame for it for so long. After all, it is human nature to want to know what's behind Door #2. I should know, I helped write that bit." Michael had to stop to spit a little blood from his mouth halfway through his pretty little speech, which diminished the impact somewhat, but the words sat me on my ass just the same.
"So you're saying Eve was set up?"
"Excuse me?"
"Eve. Was. Set. Up. The whole thing was planned from the Beginning. She didn't have a choice after all. She had to take the fruit."
"Of course not. She could have refused to eat the fruit. Of course, if she had, we would have come up with something else. Eventually you were going to have to leave the Garden. It was the only way you could see the world, after all."
"So for thousands of years Eve has suffered, thinking that she brought all the evil into the world, that if she had been just a little stronger, or if Lucky had caught her on a better day, or if she hadn't wandered off alone that morning, that she could have said no and spared the world a wealth of suffering, and now you tell me that if she'd said no you would have just kept on coming until eventually one of us gave in?" I might have been yelling a little by the last bit.
"Pretty much, yes." The smug smile was what did it. I knew he was trying to push my buttons, and he was always the second best manipulator out of the angelic herd. At that precise moment, however, I didn't care. I just knew that he had allowed Eve to suffer with the guilt of falling to temptation since the dawn of time, and I was, to put it mildly, pissed.
So I hit him. I swung from the knees, and I punched the leader of the Angelic Host right in the nose with everything I had. Angels aren't really that different from the rest of us when they choose to take human form. They bleed, even though they can't die. They can hurt, though, and a shot to the nose stings like a son of a bitch. So when I put everything I had into a roundhouse that connected solidly with Michael's nose, I felt the satisfying crunch of cartilage under my knuckles and I knew that I'd broken it once again. Damn, that felt good. I highly recommend punching out a pompous archangel once an eon or so, it's good for the soul.
"Dammit, Adam, that hurts!" He was lying on his back in the dusty parking lot and I liked him a lot better with blood spattering his French Blue dress shirt than I had just a few seconds earlier.
"It wasn't meant to tickle, you prick. Screw you and your little games, I'm outta here." I turned on my heel and headed back towards my bike, determined to leave Texas and Michael behind me as quickly as I could.
"Dad." I stopped. There's only a couple of words that can stop me in my tracks, but that one's a lock. "Please don't go." I turned, and there was Emily, not looking at me, but looking at me all the same. "Please?"
"Why?" I asked. Like it mattered. She was my kid after all. If she wanted me to stay, I was staying.
"I think this might be important. And I think you might have to do this, no matter how big a douchebag this guy is." Well, that cut right through it all right there. Sometimes there are things you just have to do, whether you want to or not, whether the people you have to do them with are douchebags or not; sometimes things have to get done. And sometimes you're the only one that can do them.
"This is gonna suck." I said as I walked back over to her.
"Probably." She agreed, and she tossed Michael a dishrag to stop his bleeding nose.
"I'm gonna need some coffee." I was walking back towards the rear entrance of the diner by now.
"I'll handle it. The lunch rush is over and you never could make coffee worth a shit." Myra said as she passed me on the way into the diner.
"Hey! Wait for me!" Cried the warrior archangel as he tried to get his bloody nose to cooperate enough to let him follow us into the diner. To quote one of my favorite philosophers, I had a bad feeling about this.

George Howell is the mind behind the beverage that helped Starbucks rise into the stratosphere — the Frappuccino.
And he hates what American coffee culture has become.
Janelle Nanos has written a big profile of Coffee Connection founder George Howell at Boston Magazine, and it reveals some interesting things about the legendary coffee genius.
Howell, a world-renowned coffee expert, thinks that coffee has been hijacked by "latte elitists" who don't appreciate the value of a pure, simple coffee.
"These coffee snobs instead push fussy coffee- based beverages with complicated combinations of milk, sugar, and foam, Italian-sounding names, and high profit margins," explained Nanos.
"With the Frappuccino, Howell may have set off the nation's addiction to what are essentially coffee milkshakes, but he's every bit the purist, disdainful of the espresso and 'latte art' crazes."
Howell, who sold his Coffee Connection chain (and the rights to the Frappuccino name) to Starbucks in 1994 doesn't go so far as to explicitly say that he regrets ever creating the drink, but he does admit that the Frap wasn't his "life goal."

The uproar over Congressman Todd Akin's, R-Missouri, statement on abortion has morphed into a serious concern for the Republican Party and its prospects to retake the presidency and U.S. Senate for one simple reason: his comments are reflective of the Republican Party and the belief of a majority of its congressional members. And that is a problem that gets too little attention.
The GOP's drift to the extreme political right on social issues, and increasingly on fiscal ones, has been as dramatic as it is nonsensical.

The Bristol Planning Commission wisely lent its support to a proposal to pursue conservation easements along a 1.6-mile stretch of the Route 116 corridor north of Bristol.
With less than a week to go before the statewide primary election, I have two major questions about next Tuesday's Democratic primary for attorney general between Bill Sorrell and T.J. Donovan.
MIDDLEBURY — Middlebury police responded to a report of an armed woman who had been drinking and threatening suicide in the Twin Circles area on Aug. 17. Police defused the situation and took the gun into evidence. The woman was taken to Porter Hospital, according to police.
In other action last week, Middlebury police:
• Investigated two car break-ins in the Forbes Circle neighborhood on Aug. 13.
ADDISON COUNTY — Vermont State Police responded to a two-car crash on Middlebrook Road in Ferrisburgh last Saturday, Aug. 18, at approximately 8:55 p.m. Upon arrival, troopers fond that one of the vehicles had left the scene of the crash.
Police later located the vehicle that had left the scene. Senior Trooper Joseph Pregent said it was down an embankment off of Long Point Road in Ferrisburgh. He identified the driver as Donna Marie Trucott, 48, Ferrisburgh.
VERGENNES — Vergennes police on Aug. 18 cited a man and a woman who were houseguests at a Hillside Drive apartment on Aug. 11 and 12 for grand larceny after they allegedly stole electronics equipment, jewelry and movies from their absentee hosts.
BRISTOL — The Bristol Police Department responded to the Bristol town green on Aug. 1 to investigate two reports of drug use on the town's central park.
Although Bristol Police Chief Kevin Gibbs said neither the suspects nor drugs were found at that time, the suspects were found with drugs the next day.
On Aug. 2, the police arrested Cassandra Fraser-Brown, 21, of Bristol and cited her for possession of heroin.

BUSM Researcher Receives Grant to Examine Food Insecurity in Households with a Child with Special Healthcare Needs
Ruth Rose-Jacobs, ScD, associate professor of pediatrics at Boston University School of Medicine (BUSM) and a research scientist at Boston Medical Center (BMC), has received funding for a two-year study to examine the association between the presence of young children with special healthcare needs in households and food insecurity. Rose-Jacobs, also a child development researcher with Children's HealthWatch, is the principal investigator (PI) on this $249,984 grant awarded by the University of Kentucky's Research Program on Childhood Hunger, which is funded by the United States Department of Agriculture (USDA) Food and Nutritional Service.
Children with special health care needs (SHCN) are children who have, or are at increased risk for a chronic physical, developmental, behavioral, or emotional condition and require health and related services of a type or amount beyond that required by children generally. The research project will examine the impact of having a young child with SHCN on child and/or household food insecurity in low-income households. Food insecurity is not being able to afford enough food for an active, healthy life for all household members. According to the National Survey of Children with Special Health Care Needs, approximately 15 percent of US children under the age of 17 have SHCN. Households with versus without a child with SHCN are more likely to live at or near the poverty level. The presence of a child with SHCN is associated with lower overall household adult employment due to the increased care needs of the child, which may be associated with family material hardships.
"We anticipate that households with a child with SHCN suffer disproportionately from food insecurity," said Rose-Jacobs, who is one of three recipients of this two-year grant. "This study could have important implications for the expansion of food insecurity screening and inform practice in federal and state nutrition and non-nutrition assistance programs aimed at reducing food insecurity and other material hardships."
The study will take place at safety-net hospitals in Baltimore, Boston, Little Rock, Ark., Minneapolis and Philadelphia.
In 2011, approximately 25 percent of American households with children under 6 years of age were food insecure at some point during the year, according to data from the USDA's Economic Research Service. According to Children's HealthWatch, children from food insecure households, when compared to those from food secure households, are 90 percent more likely to be reported in fair or poor health and are two thirds more likely to be at risk for developmental delays.

|Four Riverside Place, Gales Ferry, CT 06335
For more than 100 years, the Yale crew has traveled to Gales Ferry near New London, Conn., to prepare for the nation's oldest intercollegiate sporting event, the annual four-mile race against Harvard. This facility, owned and operated by the Yale heavyweight crew, has been virtually untouched by the 20th century. It stands as an important part of Yale rowing and the event that has come to be known as The Race.
"In 1979, Steven Kiesling, a Yale oarsman, was elected to be a Scholar of the House. For one year he took no classes, instead concentrating on two tasks: training for the U.S. National Rowing team and writing a thesis on the philosophy of sport. His thesis was published as The Shell Game in 1982 by William Morrow and Company, Inc. Kiesling's book illuminates, "A strange and wonderful sport immersed so deeply in the equally strange and wonderful traditions of Yale University." (p.16)
The Race
In 1852 the first Yale-Harvard race began American intercollegiate athletics...The first race, organized as a promotional event by a local lodge, was raced in six-man boats without coxswains over a three-mile course on Lake Winnepesaukee, New Hampshire... Not until 1896 did the race become the annual four-mile event in New London. In 1870 Yale broke the collegiate tradition by integrating the legs into rowing. Yale oarsmen wearing greased leather trousers slid up and back on smooth wooden plates mounted where the tracks of the slide are today."(p.45)
The Place
The oarsmen finish exams and travel east along the Connecticut shoreline to Gales Ferry. As one oarsman described it, "The jump to the Ferry is not only an hour long bus ride, but a leap of a hundred years of history." Kiesling writes of the journey, "with a mile to go we turn from the main road, trading the last shopping center for the eroded stone of the cemetery and the small white houses built by whaling captains." (p.22) At the Ferry there are no televisions. After dinner a movie is projected on the reel-to-reel projector. A newspaper over breakfast is one's connection to the outside world. It is not a place of distraction. The Ferry allows the rowers to focus on the people and the event that surrounds them. Between rows, oarsmen play cards, write in their journals, read, play ferry pong or practice for the prestige event of leisure, the annual croquet tournament. Meals are taken together in the large dining hall. A Yale staff volunteers to take care of the team. Along the walls of the dining hall are pictures of past varsities. These young men understand what the current oarsmen face. They knowingly look down at the team to offer understanding and connect the men to those who have trained and taken their meals in exactly the same way for the past 100 years.
The Ferry has become a place where champions are made. The Olympic gold medal winning crews of 1924 and 1956 formed and trained at the Ferry. More than 30 National and Olympic Team oarsmen have trained there. Most recently, Yale junior Peter Stroble stroked the U.S. lightweight straight four at the 1994 World Championships. Though the Ferry has become a well known facility in the rowing community, it will always be first and foremost, a component in the tradition of Yale Crew and The Race. It is the place where the Yale oarsmen such as the members of the 1922 "Gutless Crew" trained. "After a poor early season, the crew of '22 had been labeled "gutless" by their own coach in a letter that made its way into The New York Times. With the coxswain chanting gutless at each catch, the same crew passed Harvard in the final stokes of The Race. A photograph was taken as the coxswain stepped over the unconscious stroke to shake hands with the seven man." (p.124)

OAKLAND — The Oakland City Council will vote Tuesday on a new, and most likely final, plan for a new Safeway on College Avenue in Rockridge. The new plan is the result of a last-minute compromise between the supermarket chain and neighborhood groups that had opposed the expansion.
A council "yes" vote would bring an end to years of wrangling over the scale and design of the controversial project.
"Overall, I think personally — and I think our board feels — pretty good about the compromise," said Stuart Flashman, board member of the Rockridge Community Planning Council, one of the neighborhood groups.
The surprise compromise was brokered by outgoing Councilmember Jane Brunner on Nov. 8, the same day the City Council was set to vote on whether to support an appeal against the project. The vote was postponed after representatives from both sides spent 13 hours hammering out a consensus that Safeway can use to redraft its plans. "These are our guiding principles," said Elisabeth Jewel, a media and community consultant for Safeway on the project.
The biggest change is that the supermarket itself will be moved to the ground floor, with parking on the roof, instead of the original plan of street level parking and a store on the second floor.
"It makes it more integrated into College Avenue," Flashman said.
A retail space of around 9,500 square feet will be leased out as small shops, and Safeway has agreed that no more than 40 percent of the retail space can be leased to national chains, in order to preserve the small-business atmosphere of the street.
A pedestrian "street" roughly 35 feet across will open from 63rd Street to Claremont Avenue, creating a plaza where the supermarket's main entrance and exit will be and keeping to some extent the view of the hills from College Avenue.
"It's going to be a much more functional area," Flashman said.
The store will be 45,500 square feet instead of the planned 51,500 square feet, and the loading dock will be covered instead of open. Safeway officials also agreed to make sure there is enough parking, assuaging locals' fears that residential streets will fill up with Safeway's customers or employees. Also, Safeway will pay for residents' parking permits for several streets in the area. Because Safeway is still meeting with neighborhood groups, details of the final plans are still being worked out and will probably not be released until the day before the council vote.
"We have to stop drawing at some point," Jewel said.
Flashman said that, like any compromise, neither side won all it wanted, but he expects little opposition at the City Council meeting. And he said he is happy, if surprised, that so much progress has been made.
"It's a heck of a lot better than it was," he said.

VANCOUVER - The B.C. Lions will once again have a two-headed monster in the backfield for 2014.
The club signed veteran running back Stefan Logan to a contract extension on Monday after he returned to Lions in October and helped spark a stagnant ground game.
"Stefan demonstrated last season that he gives our offence an added dimension," Lions general manager Wally Buono said in a statement. "His speed, athleticism and football instincts make him a very valuable piece of the kind of championship-calibre team we're building."
Logan, who began his career with the Lions in 2008 and will be 33 when training camp opens, returned to B.C. last season after four years in the NFL.
He carried the ball 33 times for 236 yards and a touchdown in three games with the Lions before adding nine carriers for 53 yards and two TDs in B.C.'s playoff loss to the Saskatchewan Roughriders.
"Few players are a threat to score each time the ball is in their hands and Stefan is one of those rare players," said Lions head coach Mike Benevides.
Prior to his return, the Lions had failed to register a 100-yard rusher for 10 straight games as running back Andrew Harris struggled behind a leaky offensive line.
Logan's return the lineup meant a renewed emphasis on running the ball and helped Harris, who registered 102 yards rushing in the season finale before adding 93 more in the post-season defeat.
"I am very happy to get this extension done," said Logan, who also returns kickoffs and punts. "We have a very talented team heading into this season and I can't wait to see what Andrew and I can do together."

Former CB Al Harris retires as a Packer, recalls 'special place to play'
GREEN BAY, Wis. – Al Harris didn't know how a ceremonial retirement was supposed to work.
All that mattered to the Green Bay Packers two-time Pro Bowl cornerback was that he was able to say he retired as a Packer, which he did Thursday.
Harris, now an assistant coach with the Kansas City Chiefs, said he came up with the idea the day he announced his NFL retirement in December 2011, while playing for the St. Louis Rams. He spent 14 seasons in the NFL and was a fan favorite in Green Bay.

If you are into flight sims like Flight Simulator X, X-Plane, or IL-2, you know that it's much more realistic and much cooler to pilot your airplane with real rudder controls. Unfortunately, the CH rudder pedals are kind of a one trick pony and kind of expensive. If you happen to also be a sim racer and you happen to have a G25 or G27 wheel with pedals, you're in luck. You can used those G2x pedals as your rudder pedals for most flight sims. I've been able to use them for FSX, IL-2, X-Plane, and Wings of Prey. Theoretically, this should work with anything that uses rudder-type controls. It's relatively to use the accelerator and the brake as rudder pedals. The Logitech Profiler will do that for you by combining the accelerator and brake axis. However, the brake has a much stiffer throw than the accelerator and, for me, it kind of breaks the illusion of flying. So, we'll learn how to combine your clutches axis with the accelerator so your feet will be in a more natural position and the throw will feel roughly the same on both pedals.
What you'll need at a minimum is:
I also have a Bodnar box which allows me to connect my pedals directly to my computer. It gives the pedals a much higher resolution than having them connected through the wheel. The instructions here assume you have one. If you don't, you'll still be able to make this work, but you'll have to fiddle with the GlovePIE program a bit. More on that later.
Once you've downloaded all of the necessary software, you can begin by extracting GlovePIE. It's not an install, so just uzip it to wherever you are going to run it from. After you've extracted the software, you'll probably want to put a shortcut to GlovePIE somewhere you can launch it before launching your favorite sim. You'll be using GlovePIE.exe everytime you want to turn your G25 pedals into rudder pedals.INSTALL PPJOY
After you've taken care of GlovePIE, you'll need to install PPJoy. Here is where the fun begins if you are a Windows 7 x64 user (if you are a 32 bit Windows user, you can skip straight to the configuration part). Microsoft enforces driver signing in 64 bit Windows 7 for security purposes. This is a good deal for security, but not so much for small hobbyist developers like Deon Van Der Westhuysen. A Verisign certificate costs upwards of $500 per year…not very attractive for a guy just trying to help the community. In any case, there is good news for us in the x64 boat. When you launch the installer, you'll see a message box with some cryptic commands in it. Essentially, this is what's going to allow us to install and run PPJoy. If you've begun installing PPJoy, click cancel. Open a command prompt by clicking Start, then Run, type CMD, and hit Enter (or you can hold the Windows key and press R). In the DOS window, type the following and hit enter:BCDEDIT -SET TESTSIGNING ON
After you've turned Test Signing on, you you see a message on your desktop telling you that you are in Test Mode. If you don't see this message, PPJoy will not work. It's worth noting that if you have the User Account Control turned on, you may need to run the command prompt as the local administrator. You can do this by finding the shortcut for the command prompt in the Start Menu, right-clicking it, and selecting Run As Administrator.
If you see this message, congratulations, you've just made your computer slightly less secure! I recommend extreme caution when installing anything while running in Test Mode. When not using your pedals as rudder pedals, I recommend turning this off by running the same command, but change ON to OFF. Unfortunately, this seems to break the PPJoy install and you'll need to reinstall it. So, I've warned you about this. If you goon your computer, I'm not legally, financially, morally, or emotionally responsible. Like my old First Sergeant used to say, "Fair warning is fair play." You can go ahead an continue installing PPJoy like you would any other piece of software.
After you've installed everything, you'll need to configure a virtual joystick port. Click Start, Programs, All Programs, and find the PPJoy Joystick Driver folder and launch "Configure Joysticks" and "Add" a joystick. After adding a joystick, we need to configure it. You can just use the defaults if you want, but it adds a bunch of stuff I don't like. Start the configuration process by clicking "Mapping" and doing the following:
- Leave the default setting of "modify the mapping of this controller" and click Next
- Change the Axes dropdown to 2 and make sure there are 0 buttons or POV hats selected (you may only need one axis here, but I chose 2 just to be safe)
- Change Axis 1 to X Rotation and Axis 2 to Z Rotation and click Next
- Make the Min setting on Axis 1 to Analog 0 and Axis 2 to Analogue 1 and click Next
- Click Next on the next screen (everything should be grayed out anyway)
- Click Finish
You can click "Done" on the PPJoy configuration window. If everything is right with the world, you should see a PPJoy Virtual Joystick 1 entry in your Game Controllers settings. If your Game Controllers window doesn't show a virtual joystick, you'll need to repeat the steps above. It's very important that a virtual controller shows up here.
Configuring GlovePIE is sometimes both the easiest and most frustrating part of this process. GlovePIE is what turns your virtual joystick into a single axis that your flight simulator will be able to use as the rudder axis. The biggest hurdle you have to overcome is to find out what your axes your computer reads on your virtual joystick. Probably the easiest way is to buy FSUIPC. It's an addon for FSX that really does a ton of stuff, but I use it for joystick calibration. It will also show you what axis your rudder pedals use.
In any case, when launched, GlovePIE is pretty nondescript. It just a window with a three tabs and a run button. We're interested in the tab that's labeled "Untitled". That's where we write our program that will tell GlovePIE to turn our accelerator and clutch into one axis that our flight sim can use. Depending on your pedal configuration, this is going to be much different that what I've written for my pedals. If you have a Bodnar box, you will probably be able to just take the GlovePIE program I've written and use it for your pedals. If you don't…well, that's where the frustration happens. You can try every random axis your pedals could possibly use and you may stumble on the correct ones, but you may not either. This is where FSUIPC will be helpful. It's been a while, but I think you need the full version in order to find joystick assignments. If you don't have FSUIPC and can't afford it, you may want to check the internet and see if you can find the axes that the accelerator and clutch use.
If you have a Bodnar box, the program I've written should mostly just work. There is some modification you may have to make depending on the number of joysticks you have and where your virtual joystick shows up in Game Controllers. We'll talk about that in a minute, but for now, just copy and paste the code below in to GlovePIE and save your program someplace you can find it (I keep mine in my GlovePIE directory).
///Combined throttle (X Rotation) and clutch (Z Rotation) ///make virtual joystick axis. This is required if your ///G25 pedals are using a Bodnar Box. PPJoy1.Analog0 = (.5*Joystick2.U) - (-.5*Joystick2.R)
The breakdown of the code here is PPJoy1.Analog0 means that your are working with the first PPJoy joystick on the Analog 0 axis. This is the Analogs you set in the PPJoy configuration. The (.5*Joystick2.U) – (-.5*Joystick2.R) is where we configure how the axis works. Before I break this down, I need to point out that this is where your configuration could differ quite a bit depending on whether you have a Bodar box, how many joysticks you have, and where your virtual joystick appears in your Game Controllers control panel. I have 3 joysticks listed and my PPJoy joystick appears third in the list, so I use Joystick2. If you are a programmer or a scripter, you probably understand why my joystick appears third in the list and is Joystick2. Your joystick count starts at zero. So, your first stick is Joystick0, your second is Joystick1, and your third is Joystick2. Hey, I didn't make the rules.
In real aircraft rudder pedals, each pedal is only responsible for half the total movement of the rudder. The code above takes half of clutch (.5*Joystick2.U) and half of the accelerator (-.5*Joystick2.R) and combines them to be the a single axis (X Rotation). Notice the accelerator uses a negative number in the assignment. It's complicated, but this is necessary to make the accelerator work correctly. If anyone really wants to understand why that is, let me know and I'll explain it.
Now that you have your axis created and functioning correctly, you need to go to the control panel of your favorite flight sim and configure them to be your rudder pedals (you need to make sure you have GlovePIE up and running the program we just created). If you've done everything correctly, when you press either the accelerator or clutch, your flight sim should assign your new pedals axis to the rudder.
Hopefully this is helpful to somebody who has been struggling getting this functioning in x64 Windows or somebody just looking to add rudder pedals to their flight sim without investing more money in yet one more peripheral. Please let me know if this has been helpful. if you run across any mistakes, let me know if the comments.

Time to start thinking about Strange Brewfest 2011! This festival is a celebration of the unique spirit that the now-closed Water Street Brewing once encompassed. Strange Brewfest is a chance to see the creativity of Washington's wonderful brewing community.
If this is the first time that you ever read this blog, you might not know about our affinity for a former brew house known as Water Street Brewing. The iconic pub once ruled the streets of Port Townsend, Washington, with incredible food, heartwarming charm and of course — excellent beer. If you need to catch up on why we loved (and still love) it so very much — read this post.
Of course, many of us were concerned that Water Street's closing spelled the end to this event. But Nina and Mark, the committed owners of the former pub, have made sure that Strange Brewfest continues on!
The event will span across three days this year and be held down the street from the original location at the American Legion Hall. The event will no longer be a Water Street Brewing event, but Nina and Mark will serve as consultants, to ensure that the festival does not lose it luster.
So, book your hotel for January 28-30, 2011. There are a list of suggested hotels on the Strange Brewfest website. Be sure to peruse the rest of their website to find out more info on the event.
If you are a brewer and want to showcase your exotic grog at the festival, please complete this Brewer's Application and have it submitted by January 14, 2010. Submission instructions are included in the form and you can contact the festival crew at firstname.lastname@example.com with any questions.
Check in with the Water Street Facebook page to learn more about the event as we inch closed to the big date.

The basic form is thrown in stoneware clay and then squeezed into a gentle oval ellipse at the rim; the long sides of the oval are raised slightly higher than the ends. The bowl's surfaces are treated in two strongly contrasting colours: the inner one coated in a smooth white tin glaze, heavily speckled with spots of manganese, the outer glazed in manganese pigment through which bold sgraffito lines radiate upwards from foot to rim.

Attn Seahawks fans - GM John Schneider joins us for an extended interview tomorrow morn at 7am

Sgt. Largent wrote:FlyingGreg wrote:Listening to the PODCAST right now... Schneider is just a cool dude on top of being a great GM.
I think this is one of the main reasons for the Hawks success. The fact that both Carroll and Schneider use their youthful personalities to relate to the players.
In the NFL where the norm is usually old cranky coach and old out of touch GM, it's a breath of fresh air to listen to Pete and John's enthusiasm.
hawk45 wrote:Out of all the interviews, GM interviews are the worst, worse than HC interviews, worse than Russell Wilson interviews. Their job depends on a constant poker face, both inward-facing and outward-facing, so they can say literally nothing of worth. I can't stand it. I love Schneider and yeah he sounds like a cool guy but like all GM interviews nothing interesting was said.
Mitch asked if he had an opinion about the Atlanta game. He didn't. He wouldn't say if he thought defensive scheme had something to do with it, or if lack of pass rush had anything to do with it, the most he would say is that it's a young team that needs to learn to close out games, which is the least offensive and most meaningless thing one could say by way of explanation (not to mention the youngest guy, the QB, has no probs whatsoever closing out games playing under the most pressure).
Mitch asked what we might be interested in during the offseason, pass rushers, WRs, etc., and again no opinion, just deflection.
Basically blah blah blah so excited blah blah blah. He let Mitch float a few ideas, for instance Mitch said that as you get further in a multi-year rebuild process, you get further away from 1000 transactions and closer to the point where you have a couple of big needs to get you over the top, and that perhaps it's at that point you look harder at packaging picks or going big in free agency. Schneider said that yes, as a general matter, that is a true statement, but that the Seahawks have an approach and won't veer from it dramatically. In other words, he said nothing. But yeah he said it enthusiastically.
Again, love Schneider but good God do I hate GM interviews, so annoying and frustrating and just not really worth the air time. It's nobody's fault, it's just the nature of their job.

I think every good parent would admit there's always something more that they can learn. People who are truly offended by it are probably the ones that need it the most. —Third respondent
A bill before the New York Legislature would require parents of grade school children to take four parent-support classes. The children of parents who don't attend the classes would not be allowed into seventh grade.
Under the bill, which is sponsored by state Sen. Ruben Diaz Sr., D-Bronx, the New York State Education Department would be required to create 12 different parenting courses. Parents would have to attend four of them.
"By teaching parents how to deal with these problems they will be able and prepared to talk with their children and deal with problems," Diaz told CBS6 News in Albany. "This is not for bad parents. To the contrary, this is for good parents."
Diaz said that parents don't even come to parent-teacher conferences, so mandating it is necessary.
"Voluntary is what we have now, where we require parents to voluntarily meet with the teachers and come to parent-teacher meetings, and as you know they don't come," he told U.S. News and World Report.
"Diaz envisions the classes helping parents deal with issues such as sexual orientation, bullying and suicide, and the bill specifically mandates a course on physical, emotional and sexual abuse," writes U.S. News' Steven Nelson. "Employers would be required to provide one day of paid leave annually to allow parents to attend."
Nelson noted that the same bill from Diaz, who is an evangelical minister, failed to make it out of the Legislature's education committee last session.
"The bill has provoked a bit of a public outcry in recent weeks," writes Walter Olson on the Cato at Liberty blog hosted by Cato Institute. "Among the comments at the official state site: 'How about letting us raise our own children?' 'An insult and serves no purpose'; 'Please keep your noses out of my home'; 'The only people that will benefit from this are the ones who will charge for the classes.'"
That's an opinion shared by Sarah Newcomb of the Toronto Sun: "So it would be useful, for example, for parents to know there are resources available at their child's school to help 'enhance' their parenting skills, should they voluntarily choose to attend. But to force parents to attend is both absurd and wrong."
While some people who spoke to a Fox News affiliate in Philadelphia were critical, there were others who liked the idea, the station said.
"I don't mind taking the classes because I think it's a good thing," it quoted one parent.
"You need a license to fish, but anyone can be a parent. And there are some really bad parents out there," another told the station.
"I think every good parent would admit there's always something more that they can learn. People who are truly offended by it are probably the ones that need it the most," added a third respondent.

Mipur (Bangladesh), April 6 :
India captain Mahendra Singh Dhoni Sunday admitted that his batsmen couldn't execute the plans well in the last four overs against Sri Lanka in the final of the ICC World Twenty20 at the Sher-e-Bangla National Stadium here Sunday.
"In the middle overs, our batsmen tried our best to get going, but we couldn't convert the good start," said Dhoni, after India's six-wicket loss to Sri Lanka in the final.
Indians were done in by their inability to rotate strike and some smart death bowling by Sri Lankan captain Lasith Malinga (1/23) and Nuwan Kulasekara (1/29) as they surprisingly managed just 19 runs in the last four overs.
"We could have always got those 10-15 runs, but cricket is about those runs. The last four overs they executed their plans very well and for our side that doesn't play scoops well, that worked for them. Malinga with that slingy action kept bowling it wide. It was a perfect game for them," said Dhoni.
Virat Kohli was the stand out performer again for India with a fine 77 off 58 balls as the 2007 champions struggled to get 130 for four in 20 overs. Kohli was also adjudged Man of the Tournament.
Dhoni lauded Kohli for his consistent performance and said the Delhi boy has a bright future ahead of him.
"Virat has been brilliant in the last few years. He is someone who makes most of the opportunity. The good thing is that he plays authentic shots and still scores runs. He is got a bright future ahead of them," he said.

Community Question: Teaching Linux Newbies
The Linux training question of the day today was: "What's the best way to teach a Linux newbie?" We received a great response from our Facebook and Twitter friends and followers and wanted to post these ideas on our blog so that others may be inspired to share Linux more effectively.
@5h3r4t4n said "You got deleted everything you know about windows, thats the difficult part, after that everything gonna be Easy, read, read.."
@allan1850 said "I would say sit them in front of the system and let them play"
@parinsharma said "Telling him about it the FOSS and after he/she gets interested just start them telling about shell scripting and GUI Compiz etc."
@airurando said "Patience, small steps, introduce them to what they would find useful first."
@juanfer1 said "I think with some series of screencasts tutorials"
@vargas7 said "Begin with Ubuntu and a comparison of the common windows functionalities and where they can be found in Linux"
@jamesswinyard said "Sit down with them, let them play, then let them ask questions as they find things."
Keep them coming and we'll continue to post them here. You may use the comments for below to answer "What's the best way to teach a Linux newbie?".

Don't give them the choice of Windows & Linux.
I've seen a lot of people installing Ubuntu as a second OS (read: auto-booting Windows) and found most of them ignoring the Ubuntu-part.
Give one a desktop and don't give them access to Windows, and they won't even think about windows after a week.
(This needs the installed linux desktop to have proper codecs installed, standard apps's setup, etc…)
If you give them a computer where they have to start searching the net for the simplest action they want to perform… They'll hate 'linux' for the rest of their lives.
October 20, 2009 at 4:58 pm
Using of forums is a way to quick solve of a task.
October 21, 2009 at 5:02 am
1st, i asked them to name the Win programs they love most, then I pointed them that Linux already have them. MS-Office is the common program they love so much, so I teach them how to use OpenOffice or Abiword or KOffice.
2nd, i asked them to browse the web, and asked them what program they used to download. Then I pointed them that they can do it with wget or aria, from the shell, although the GUI are also available. But through the shell is so quick.
3rd, if they asked me what the shell is all about, I told them that Windows also has Command.com and can do administration task from that (not all Win users know about Command.com), but it lacks so many features than the *nix's shell. Then I told them that Linux can do all they can imagine from the shell, and Elinks/Lynx can browse the web too.
4th, if they asked me about gaming. Well, i just can point them to Wine, and if everything is just not right for them, I can only say that gaming is still biggest gap between Win & Linux (I have to say the truth, right?). *sigh*
The point is that it's definitely a hard break if you want to change the way people use their computers. Do it slowly and we should be patience 😉 like teaching a kid how to ride the bike.
October 21, 2009 at 6:26 am
If it's possible on their machine and they still insist on Windows (usually XP) then I would do a Virtualbox install. I have found that the easiest way to wean them off is to give them a distro which has at least Windows like looks, PCLoS is great for that.
Also show them the similarities such as Firefox, Open Office et al and whatever happens don't complicate the issue, as soon as you mention CLI to someone who just used Windows you will get the blank stare of rejection.

Pump The Brakes Pt. 1: The Most Famous Celebrity DUIs Of All Time…With Mugshot Pics!
Leave the drank at home, people!
It seems like every week someone gets arrested for a DUI. Which means every week we get some sort of mugshot to back up the story. And some celebrities just enjoy giving us hilarious pics to enjoy as well. Why shouldn't we laugh at them? They're idiots for driving drunk so ridicule is the least of their worries.
Paris Hilton – We don't know if she was drunk or just driving while stupid. Either way, get her off the road.
Mel Gibson – The best part wasn't his actual arrest. It was him calling a cop "sugar tits" and his anti-semitic rant. Those were the good days.
Khloe Kardashian – Now that she'll be bored as hell in Dallas, maybe she'll get a good old-fashioned Texas arrest.
Nicole Richie – This was when she was running around with Paris. So of course she got a DUI too. SMH.
Lindsay Blo-ho – Another day another DUI. *yawn*
Charles Barkley – Chuck just wanted some dome from some random chick. He was so drunk that he offered to get his cop to get a taste of the stranger's goods too. Hilarity.
Continue Slideshow
Vivica A. Fox – Crazy Aunt Viv at it again. Back in 2007 during her post-50 breakdown, she went driving with a little happy sauce in her system. Not a good look.
Flo-Rida – Driving drunk in a Maserati?! The car is worth more than he is!
DMX – Pick one. He's been arrested a million times and all car-related. Please make him stop.
Rima Fakih – Miss USA turned wrestler was recently arrested for a DUI. That's what happens when you kick it with Lil Jon.
Jalen Rose – Athletes get it in too! Jalen was doing his thing at ESPN when he had the DUI but still, it was big news. Too many martinis.
Mike Tyson – Look at his face! No, not just the tattoo. Look at his mouth! He's having a blast.

Five Questions: Hitch on perspective, today's playersby Dan Rosen
NHL.com will periodically be doing a series called "Five Questions With…," a Q&A with some of the key movers and shakers in the game today aimed at gaining some insight into their lives and careers.
This edition features St. Louis Blues coach Ken Hitchcock:
With a Stanley Cup ring on his finger, a Jack Adams Award on his mantle, and more than 500 wins in his pocket, Ken Hitchcock is one of the more confident and cerebral bench bosses in the National Hockey League.
Hitchcock, 60, is also a Civil War buff and a huge fan of -- wait for it -- Palladia TV.
Somehow Hitchcock has been able to mix his love affair with battlefields and history, hockey and pop music to remain one of the top coaches in the game and a leader in how to talk and relate to the current generation of NHL players.
Hitchcock, who won his Jack Adams Award in June for his remarkable turnaround of the St. Louis Blues in 2011-12, gave NHL.com some time recently to discuss how he handles young players, perspective he gained as an unemployed coach, his obsession over winning and losing, and, of course, a controversy that is still alive 13 years after it happened.
Here are Five Questions With … Ken Hitchcock:
How do you try to relate to today's young players in order to avoid the old-school label?
"Everybody always says you have to lose before you can win -- I'm not sure I agree with that, but I think you have to know what the price is to win. As much as you talk about having a high price, you have to find it." -- Ken Hitchcock
"I think the thing is, you can't be afraid of the questions you're going to get asked. You can't be afraid of them and you can't be offended by them. Players today really want a lot of information, and you have to be prepared to give it to them. They want to know what they need to do. They want to know what is in it for them. And then they want to know where are they going to go with it. You've got to be able to answer all three questions. If you have that attitude with the players of this era, I think it builds a real high level of trust with them."
What type of perspective did you gain by sitting on the sidelines between jobs in Columbus and St. Louis?
"Looking back, it ended up being a very good thing because it allowed me to reconnect with the people in my life that matter. Family, friends, guys that I coached with -- it turned from a very high level of disappointment and frustration for not finishing the job to a really strong reconnection with the people in my life that matter. It turned out to be a real positive for me. I was at a point where I was really enjoying the people part of the business again rather than obsessing with winning and losing. I was starting to really enjoy the people in the business again like I did when I first got in it."
Did you find the obsession over winning and losing came right back and was actually enjoyable when you started coaching the Blues last season?
"Yes, but I think what you learn after you take a step back is that when you've won a lot over a long period of time you start to lose interpersonal relationships with the players and other people, and you just become obsessed with winning. You become obsessed with winning and start detesting losing, and so you become short with people and you forget that you're in the people part of the business. I think that by taking a step back and enjoying other aspects of the game made it more fun to come back into coaching. It made me understand what other people do in this game. I learned a lot from observing American (Hockey) League franchises, juniors, colleges. I learned how hard people work for a lot less money and how much they enjoy it. It gave me a new perspective."
Carlyle talks influences, scrutinyBy Dan Rosen - NHL.com Senior Writer
He's won a Stanley Cup as coach of the Ducks and made the move last season to the media hotbed of Toronto. The Leafs' coach talks about past influences and new challenges. READ MORE ›
Speaking of perspective, do you view last season with the Blues as a success for what you accomplished (109 points in the regular season), or is it a disappointment because the team only won four playoff games after a very good regular season?
"I look at it as a step. I look at it as a necessary step to get to the next level. Everybody always says you have to lose before you can win -- I'm not sure I agree with that, but I think you have to know what the price is to win. As much as you talk about having a high price, you have to find it. I would have been really disappointed if we would have lost to somebody else other than Los Angeles, but losing to the eventual Stanley Cup winner, there is a great lesson in that step. I think that step is the one you need to take. We made those steps in Dallas and we made those steps in Philadelphia, and I think those steps are so invaluable. We were disappointed, but the knowledge we have now is really going to help us."
What was the best team you ever coached?
"The best team was the 1999 and 2000 (Dallas Stars) teams that went to the Stanley Cup Final. It was pretty much the same team and we were really the sum of our parts. But the team that played the best, to be honest with you, was the team that made the playoffs in Columbus (2008-09). That team maxed out every night to get where they got. We had to frustrate the opposition in different ways every night to get points, and our players bought in to the style they had to play because they wanted to make the playoffs so badly. From a buy-in standpoint, that team bought in as hard as any team I ever coached."
Just because we had to do it, here is a bonus sixth question that should get fans in Dallas and Buffalo buzzing:
I say to you 1999, Game 6, triple OT, Brett Hull. Now, you say to me, goal or no goal?
"Oh, goal for sure. It's a goal for sure because it was a silly rule anyways. The second part is what has made that so good is after a while Stanley Cups run together and it's hard to tell who played who, but no one will ever forget that Stanley Cup Final. That's what has made it so great. Everybody knows about the '99 Cup Final. That makes it great."
