text: The Honker wiki last edited by pikahyper on 05/25/14 05:49PM View full history Creation Honker was created for the tv show Darkwing duck as a sort of foil for Gosalyn. Major ArcsThe Duck Knight ReturnsHonker is abducted by the menacing Quackwerks Crimebots for illegally downloading music off the internet. While in jail, Quackwerks organization forces him to say one thing: the entire English language for some nefarious purpose (which turned out to be Taurus Bulba wanting to acquire the Gizmo Duck Suit).It can be assumed that following Bulba's defeat, Honker was released from jail. Crisis on Infinite Darkwings Honker encountered Gozmo Duck (gosalyn) capturing Gill-Duck Darkwing, but he heads home when she and Darkwing go to encounter Negaduck and Magica De Spell. F.O.W.L. DispositionWhen Gosalyn thought Darkwing had been brainwashed by Steelbeak (won't be the first time), she takes up the personae of Quiverwing Quack (again) and drags Honker with her to F.O.W.L.'s home base. He is forced to be the Arrow Kid again. At the end of the adventure, he is reunited with his family. The Arrow Kid When Gosalyn became the Quiverwing Quack, she forced Honker to be "Arrow Kid". All he did was give her arrows. Negaverse Version In the Negaverse (NegaDuck's universe), he was the opposite of his usual self. He was mean, and out spoken. Infact his brother, Tank was exactly like him and Honker was similar to Tank.

|Though I spend much time in the mountains, I have always loved the vast open spaces of the great plains. So much land and so few people. When we arrived at the top (via auto...no hiking allowed) we met a couple hanging out in the shade of their open tailgate and just enjoying the solitude and scenery. They were in no hurry to go anywhere and were contemplating becoming highpointers as this was their 3rd state summit.
Oh yeah, and the skies were not cloudy all day.

|Drove up during my stay in Boulder, CO. I had never really been in the true Great Plains, so this visit was pretty interesting to me. Mostly cloudy conditions, temperature was about 45 F at 4 PM when I reached the top. A snow mound blocked the entrance to the dirt road, so I ran to the top in 10 minutes. Did a backflip off the register thing, prossibly the highest backflip ever done in the state of NE, unless someone else has done a backflip at that spot. The scenery out there made me think of the movie "Fargo". ;) Fun trip

Novice candidate vows to take on Bilirakis
Mitch E. Perry
WMNF Drive-Time News Tuesday | Listen to this entire show:
It was just a year ago that Gus Bilirakis moved up from the state Legislature to Congress by defeating Democrat Phyllis Busansky in the race to succeed his father in Floridaâs Ninth Congressional District.
Two Democrats have officially filed to run against Bilirakis in 2008.
One is Bill Mitchell. The other is Michael Van Hoek, a relative political newcomer who has been active in the Hillsborough Democratic Executive Committee in recent years.
WMNF asked Van Hoek, if he becomes the Democratic nominee, does he figure on knocking out the Bilirakis, whoâse family has maintained the seat, which represents North Pinellas, western Pasco and some parts of Hillsborough for more than two decades.comments powered by Disqus

Economic and population growth, greater urbanisation and
increased mobility are boosting demand for new infrastructure and
straining the capacity and effectiveness of existing
infrastructure. Single mode approaches are no longer viable as
governments and stakeholders recognise the need for multi-modal
solutions across the whole supply chain.
Across the whole transport spectrum of aviation, marine, roads
and highways, rail and transportation and logistics, our team
provides integrated transport services throughout the project
lifecycle from initial policy, transport economics and business
case advice, through concept, procurement, detailed design and
construction to operations, maintenance and asset management.
We help clients develop sustainable solutions which balance
infrastructure investment with demand reduction, land use
strategies and system efficiencies.
We were involved with the entire design process of these
roundabouts, from feasibility through to construction. We prepared
the permanent signing plan sheets and pavement marking layout, and
also provided design support for the vertical design and
construction staging. Our people also provided construction
observation quality control for these roundabouts to maintain
adherence to the design objectives.
More . . .
The marina project is funded by a loan from the California
Department of Boating and Waterways. GHD prepared complete
design-build RFP bridging documents consisting of plans and
specifications for demolition of existing berths and construction
of reconfigured berths in the West Harbor, upgrade of electrical
and water dock utilities, installation of new barrier-free access
gangways with security gates, construction of a new 300 foot long
concrete floating breakwater and an 185 foot long cantilever sheet
pile breakwater, repairs to the revetment, earthen mole removal,
maintenance dredging, and improvement of the landside
Read More . . .
Our tasks for the project included: the
optimization of the horizontal geometrics and reviewing the
vertical geometrics, jointing, pavement marking, signing, and
lighting. GHD's roundabout team was able to optimize the
roundabouts for safety and capacity without impacting the overhead
bridge's abutment and piers with university parking lots and the
railroads right-of-way. Our team presented mitigation techniques to
improve the roundabouts' operations during event traffic.
GHD, (as a sub-consultant to
DEA), was selected to complete Schedule 1, the catalyst in a series
of important projects that will increase rail capacity and
maximizes future port growth potential.
The project was managed by SouthWest Division for the NAVAIR
Weapons Division at Point Mugu. The Navy's team included a third
party review by technical experts from the Naval Facilities
Engineering Service Center at Port Hueneme.
Additional intersection capacity was required due
to the proposed redevelopment of a nearby property. Approval of
the redevelopment plan for the property hinged on gaining
additional capacity at the rotary intersection. The design that was
implemented reconfigured the rotary to adhere to modern roundabout
operating characteristics addressing the safety and capacity
limitations. All of the modifications were designed to fit within
the original intersection footprint, eliminating the need for
additional costly urban right-of-way.
Read More . .
GHD, as the lead design firm in a joint-venture, performed site
investigations, conceptual engineering design of structural
alternatives, design development and final design for the new
wharf. Seismic design of the pile-supported wharf was undertaken in
accordance with the methodology in the Port of Long Beach Wharf
Design Criteria and ASCE Seismic Design of Pile-Supported Piers and
The entrance to the park was a treacherous, narrow dirt road,
within Bane Canyon. About two and a half miles into the park
grounds, an existing paved two-lane road provided access to
amenities. Rain events forced the park to close for several days
afterwards due to the dangers associated with the dirt road.
In Lincoln, Nebraska, GHD was engaged to address an increase in
traffic resulting from the West Haymarket Redevelopment – a 400
acre project designed to revitalise the downtown and haymarket
districts. With 7000 planned parking spaces and a 16,000 seat arena
forming part of the development, the solution was required to cater
for an influx of vehicles, particularly during event periods.
A range of previous studies, including the
Corridor Selection Report, identified the need for a northern
busway to provide a new public transport line haul (high quality,
high frequency) route to support existing and future north side
suburban services.
GHD is in the initial design stage for the
first of three bus priority lanes, along the Columbo Street
corridor. The project involves the widening of this main arterial
allowing for dedicated and on-peak-only bus lanes for travel into
and away from the CBD. The lanes will extend for approximately 3.5
kilometres. Other design features include bus stop relocation,
B-signals, PTIPS, cycle lanes and changes to roadside parking
The investigation, design and construction is being delivered by
the City East Alliance (CEA), comprised of GHD, Leighton
Contractors, NRW and Main Roads Western Australia (Main Roads). The
project presented key risks in areas of utility impacts and road
network operations. The team generated more than 100 qualifying
innovations during the costing phase of the project spanning
technological, process, methodology, materials and delivery
The contract calls for investigation,
feasibility analysis, preliminary and detailed design of road
safety improvements. To meet these requirements, GHD has carried
out and supplied Auckland City Council with:
The extension was designed and constructed on a fast-track
basis, which enabled its completion within just six months. The new
section has given Qatar Airways additional gate boarding lounges, a
first class lounge and cafeteria, increased check-in area capacity
and additional baggage handling systems.
Our scope of work involved studies and preparation of plans,
specifications and estimates for USD8 million of road, drainage,
signalization and landscaping improvements. The project was
prepared in accordance with AASHTO guidelines and Federal
Specifications Standards. GHD was responsible for the design of the
geometry, utility relocation, drainage, signalization and traffic
studies. This project required extensive coordination with the
Commonwealth Utilities Corporation, the Saipan Department of Public
Works, and the Office of the Governor Planning Office. Construction
documents included culverts, street paving and sidewalks,
signalized intersection, landscaping features, signing and
GHD was part of a team of international
designers who developed the concept for the 190ha Highbrook
Business Park, adjacent to Auckland's Southern Motorway. Highbrook
Business Park has attracted tenants from a wide range of businesses
and will eventually accommodate up to 12,000 employees in
550,000sq m of industrial and commercial floor space.
Considerable stakeholder management was crucial for this project
and as part of the review process, included liaison with various
groups including Cycling Action Auckland. The co-ordination of
three contracts into one (OHUG, Physical Works and Resurfacing) was
successfully executed to ensure optimum timeliness and cost saving.
This includes traffic signal optimisation, incident management,
special events management and optimising traffic flows.
GHD delivered a number of route optimisation reports detailing
before and after evaluations using in-car groups to determine fuel,
travel time and CO2 reductions of route optimisation.
GHD has been engaged to provide the engineering design services
for the contractor, Urban Superway Joint Venture, which comprises
John Holland Pty Ltd, Macmahon Contractors Pty Ltd, and Leed
Engineering and Construction Pty Ltd. SMEC Australia and
International Bridge Technologies (San Diego) are supporting GHD as

A paramics micro-simulation transport model, developed by GHD,
was a key feature of the assessment, allowing highly effective
testing of the proposed impacts of the development on internal and
external road and rail networks.
Key features of the project include two grade
separated interchanges, the widening of more than two kilometres of
motorway, the construction of local arterial roading as well as a
large roundabout and a 200-metre long bridge. This challenging
project required carefulcoordination to avoid interference with an
adjacent power station cooling pond.
The solutions researched and developed focused
on Travel Demand Management (TDM) and maximising the public
transport services in the district. Since the completion of the
study, GHD has been assisting stakeholders in implementing the
recommended strategy.

You Tell Us: Will Jessica Chastain Make a Good Princess Diana?
Cue the British tabloids because the People's Princess will be played by an American in upcoming movie! (We're guessing they're going to be a wee bit more fired up over this one than over Renée Zellweger playing Bridget Jones back in the day.) The Help's Jessica Chastain will portray Lady Diana in Caught in Flight, a film that tells the story of her love affair with heart surgeon Dr. Hasnat Kahn.
The relationship between Princess Diana and Kahn began in 1995 and lasted two years. It was kept a secret until Kahn broke his silence in 2008. As you can see, the movie is bound to be controversial, but even more so with a non-Brit in the lead. Jessica Chastain, 30, hails from California and will have to perfect her accent, though she's been getting rave reviews for her recent role in Take Shelter.

Hyundai's Veloster caused a degree of head-scratching when it was launched in February. Featuring rakish and aggressive styling, it was purportedly a sports car yet instead of a coupe body came only as a hatch – and one with three passenger doors at that.
And performance from the 1.6-litre engine was not so hot or even sporty as much as adequate: to borrow from Winston Churchill the Veloster was a riddle, wrapped in a mystery, inside and enigma.
Not that buyers have been deterred, with the original Veloster topping the Australian sports car market so far this year, possibly partly due to very keen pricing starting at $23,990. Now that a turbocharged version has arrived with a nigh-on 50 per cent boost in engine power it seems the performance issue has been addressed, so is this tougher, tauter Veloster the one we've been waiting for?
Price and equipment
One trim level known as SR weighs in at $31,990 (plus on-road and dealer costs) with a six-speed manual, or $2000 more for the auto and despite the low price, equipment levels are impressively high. Apart from the uprated engine the list includes unique body modifications (more side plastic, an even toothier grille, daytime running lights and twin circular exhaust outlets included), 18-inch alloy wheels and a panoramic glass sunroof.
Inside there's a mix of leather and vinyl trim and a full swag of electronic gear: Bluetooth phone and audio streaming, cruise control, climate control aircon and a seven-inch touchscreen controlling functions from the standard sat-nav to radio and audio while also doubling as a reversing camera display.
There's also power windows with one-touch up and down, remote keyless entry and engine starting, powered fore-aft adjustment for the driver's seat and lumbar support. About the only noticeable omissions are automatic wipers and a full-size spare tyre (it comes with a space saver) but truly, for the price it is difficult to think of a better equipped car.
Under the bonnet
This is what it's all about: Hyundai has taken its 1.6-litre direct injection four cylinder engine, bolted on a twin-scroll turbocharger and unleashed the sort of horsepower sports car and hot-hatch buyers might reasonably expect.
Or has it? The Turbo's 150kW of engine power is comfortably 46 per cent up on the naturally aspirated version's 103kW, and torque has also taken a hike, up from 166 to 265Nm. That latter number is produced from a good 3100rpm lower in the rev-range than the regular Veloster and continues from 1750 to 4500rpm.
It does feel a comfortably quick car though, with a nicely elastic surge through the middle of the rev range even if the engine does start to run out of puff closer to its 6500rpm redline. It gets off the line smartly although not exactly with neck-snapping performance and our test car's six-speed manual gearbox is a little slow on the upchanges even if the gearshift itself feels nicely positive.
One of the benefits of a smaller capacity turbo engine should be decent fuel consumption and the Veloster Turbo doesn't disappoint. City driving might see fuel use creep into the 9.0 L/100km range but a country cruise will creep into the mid-sevens, which is pretty good for a car with this kind of performance.
How it drives
Everything about the Veloster Turbo feels solid and meaty; from the heavy yet direct steering, to the firmly controlled ride and even the feedback from the brake pedal. In other words, it gives the impression of substance and sportiness, not something that could be said of earlier, flimsier Hyundais.
To a large degree that impression continues in the way the car handles. There's an abundance of grip, very little in the way of body roll and the direct steering makes pointing into and out of a corner – combined with the engine's ability to give some real shove in the process – an exercise that can bring real joy.
The suspension itself is relatively low-tech with its torsion beam rear end and in bumpy corners the rear of the car will skip around but not too any alarming degree. But the combination of the firm ride and the steering's tendency to feed those bumps back to the driver makes it a little less than sophisticated or comfortable.
Comfort and practicality
Unlike its hot-hatch rivals, the Veloster is a stand-alone model so it could be argued there's more a sense of occasion stepping inside than others based on more prosaic shopping trolleys. That's borne out by a low seating position for the driver and the pronounced centre console and instrument stack.
Some of the plastics look a little downmarket, but apart from a couple of splashes of silvery-grey trim Hyundai has refrained from ladling on the bling. The effect is more purposeful and high-tech, and it works well. The big interior door handles look odd but work well for hangers-on.
Most of the centre console is given over to a variety of storage options including a lidded bin-cum-armrest, dual cupholders and an under-dash shelf good for storing an MP3 device or phone next to the auxiliary audio jacks and twin 12-volt power outlets.
The steering adjusts for rake and reach so getting comfortable is relatively easy, even if rear three-quarter vision is obscured by wide C-pillars, and the split back window is a real obstruction. The size and positioning of the driver's-side wing mirror also conspires to hide what's happening close to the car on that side.
As with lesser Veloster models, the Turbo's packaging trump card is its treatment of rear passengers. The single, passenger-side rear door is more than a gimmick being long and opening wide enough for either lanky customers to enter and exit, or parents to fiddle with baby seats. Leg room is adequate but head space a little awkward, placing scalps directly under the sloping rear glass.
The other miss is that despite their being just two seats in the rear separated by a centre console, the seats themselves are flat and shapeless when they could have had a more sunken, cocooning fitment. The boot itself is admirably wide and deep and the rear seats are split 50/50 and flop forward to extend cargo space.

Overall verdict
The Veloster Turbo has an awful lot going for it and it is easily the most complete car yet produced by Hyundai. Stirring performance, an interesting solution to packaging passengers and luggage and generally competent road manners all work in its favour, albeit with some caveats. Then there's the value for money equation, which is hard to beat.
While it lacks the last few degrees of power and poise that mark the great hot hatches – or should that be sports coupes? – and the overtly stylised exterior might not be to all tastes it's difficult to think of another car that blends an entertaining drive with abundant practicality quite as well for the money.

Office of Public Affairs Info for Media
Release Date: March 26, 2009
Contact: Renee McCoy, 919-733-9190
RALEIGH – DHHS Secretary Lanier Cansler today announced the appointment of Dr. Craigan L. Gray to oversee the state's Medicaid program.
Dr. Gray is scheduled to start on April 27 as the Director of the Division of Medical Assistance, the DHHS division that last year provided Medicaid services to 1.6 million people, or one out of five North Carolinians. The Division expended more than $9 billion in the last fiscal year in health services and premiums.
"I am excited that Dr. Gray's training and experience in medicine and the law as well as practical skills in business management, both in Kentucky and here in North Carolina, make him an outstanding choice to lead our state's Medicaid program," said Sec. Cansler. "He is exactly the type of dynamic leader that Gov. Perdue and I discussed bringing on board at DHHS to help us manage this complex program that provides much needed and necessary services to our fellow citizens."
"North Carolina's progressive, forward-thinking medical communities form the strong provider base needed to lead the changes in health care required in the future," Dr. Gray said.
Dr. Gray is currently vice president of medical affairs and chief medical officer at the Bon Secours Our Lady of Bellefonte Hospital in Ashland, Ky. He was chairman and managing director of Employee Benefit Trust in Asheville from 1995-2002 as well as a physician and medical community leader at Mission/St. Joseph's Hospitals. In 1975, he co-founded and was the senior managing physician of Asheville Women's Medical Center.
Dr. Gray is a graduate of Loma Linda University School of Medicine in California and a straight medical internship at the University of Virginia, Charlottesville. He is a Stanford University trained obstetrician and gynecologist and is a board-certified member of the American College of Obstetricians and Gynecologists. He also served a preceptorship in the surgical management of breast cancer at the Royal Marsden Hospital in London. He is a 2005 graduate of the Regent University School of Law, Virginia, and is a member of the North Carolina and Tennessee bar. Dr. Gray also holds a Master of Business Administration degree from Western Carolina University.

Sculpture is 'opening goal on journey'
Posted: August 02, 2012|
A BRUTON artist has seen his four-year dream come true after his spectacular sporting sculpture was unveiled in London.
Elliott Brook's 41-foot Goaloids sculpture was unveiled on Shepherd's Bush green on the eve of the London 2012 opening ceremony.
He travelled to London with his wife, Bryony, and two daughters to witness the climax of years of tireless work.
He said: "It was a spectacular experience. Almost four years of stress and hard work has all come off.
"Seeing the sculpture finished makes me very proud, but it's also a great relief.
"There were so many times we could have given up, but we carried on, battled through the tough times and completed the job.
"I'd like to think we've helped contribute to the long-lasting legacy of the Olympics."
The Goaloids sculpture consists of a set of goalposts sat on rotating car turntables, marking the centenary of the British football team's 1908 Olympic success – achieved on the site of Shepherd's Bush green.
The rotating goalposts were turned on by Belinda Donovan, mayor of Hammersmith and Fulham Council.
She said: "Elliott Brook's Goaloids have sprung up in Shepherds Bush to huge acclaim to local residents. They have attracted interest from thousands of passers-by all keen to take a closer look at these magnificent works of art.
"It was a huge privilege to officially turn-on the Goaloids and the council would like to thank Elliott for brightening up our borough with his wonderful sculptures."
For Mr Brook, the completion of his vision has a much more profound meaning.
In 2007, he was left on a life support machine after suffering a stroke while in a pneumonia-related coma. He remains paralysed on his left side and confined to a wheelchair.
However after courageously "fighting back from the dead", the former Glasgow school of art graduate believes the project is the start of a new journey.
He said: "This isn't the end of the journey, it is just the start. I have a lot of ideas to build on this achievement and go forward in the future.
"Most of my work has a football theme, and that's something I will look to continue.
"Football is such a big part of my life and it's a symbol of our culture, history and heritage. We invented the game."
The Goaloids sculpture will sit proudly in London for the duration of the Olympics, but may stay permanently if an agreement is made.

Sebastian Vettel landed Red Bull Racing their first Formula One win at the Chinese GP, and as if that wasn't enough for the Milton Keynes based team, Mark Webber made it a one-two.
Like his first win at the Italian GP last season, Vettel led from the front and drove superbly in very wet conditions, managing to not put a foot wrong all day.
He crossed the finish line almost 11 seconds ahead of teammate Webber, who you had to feel a little sorry for as he desperately wanted Red Bull's first ever win.
But it was the young German who drove a peerless race, and it was good to see him up there on the podium top spot too, as he's one of the most likeable guys on the F1 grid.
He was obviously delighted with the result, and said: "[It's the] second time now I've won a grand prix in the wet. The car was fantastic, it is definitely necessary to mention [that the] team did a really, really good job in preparing the car."
Brawn GP's Jenson Button was left trailing in third, and admitted that the Red Bulls were just too fast for him today: "We couldn't challenge these people [Vettel and Webber] today, who were immensely quick, but it is great to score six points which is important for the consistency."
If you'd told Jenson this time last year that he'd be 'trailing' with a third spot, then I think he'd have been pretty chuffed with that.
Button's teammate Rubens Barrichello finished fourth, with the resurgeant McLarens of Heikki Kovalainen and Lewis Hamilton finishing fifth and sixth respectively.
Ferrari had another shocker of a day, Kimi Raikkonen only getting a distant twelfth, and Felipe Massa having to abandon his car after it packed up on the side of the road. His frustrations were visible as he banged his car in anger.
On a slightly different note, I thought Mike Gascoigne did a great job of punditry and had a nice, easy rapport with David Coulthard – definitely better than Eddie Jordan on both counts. I also thought Martin Brundle's grid walk was more punchy when accompanied by DC too. Good work BBC.
Wow, I managed to write an F1 blog about Sebastian Vettel without likening his ability to Michael Schumacher.

Kano — The Police in Kano state have detained three staff of Wazobia FM, investigating the contents of a programme they aired last week.
According to head of station, Sanusi Bello Kankarofi, Mohammed Suleiman Gama (Head of programmes), Yakubu Musa Fagge (presenter) and Mubarak Muhamad Sani (reporter) were invited to the Bompai Police HQ around 9:30am on Sunday for questioning and have remained in detention since then.
Detained alongside the trio is Abubakar Rabo, former director of Kano Films and Censorship Board.
Trouble started after the station aired a programme on alleged fraud in the polio vaccination exercise a few days before the attack on vaccination workers in two local government areas, leading to the death of 9 of them.
Rabo's younger brother, Ali Usman, told Daily Trust that the his brother was arrested even though he was fasting.
"At a point the policemen guarding them started threatening us, saying we should leave the place or risked being shot," he said.
The station had packaged an investigative report on the conduct of the exercise after an attack on one of its reporters, Mubarak Sani, at the home of the Alhaji Rabo while polio officials and a group of men said to be PDP supporters were trying to force Rabo to allow the immunization officials vaccinate his children.
In the course of collecting information in the ensuing fracas, Sani was allegedly beaten up and his equipment seized.
The police are trying to establish a connection between the contents of the said programme and the shooting of the vaccination workers, Daily Trust learnt.
"The accusations are mere conjectures to humiliate the journalists for political reasons," Kankarofi said.
"We have asked their accusers to tell us which programme was aired to warrant the attack on policemen escorting polio workers recently and they could not answer," he said.
Meanwhile, Kano State police commissioner Ibrahim K. Idris had confirmed the arrest, saying however that details would be made available after investigations.
"It is not an issue of journalism; it is an issue of suspects of criminal intent. When investigation is completed, we will brief you on it," he told journalists.

The Mahalo by Globe
Mark Appleyard could possibly the most stylish skater on a board right now. His effortless approach is pleasing the watch, and the fact that Apples is always smiling and having fun when he skates makes him that much better. Appleyard's goal with his new Globe shoe was to blend "casual styling with high impact skate performance," as well as a hefty dose of the Aloha spirit Mark has come to love—he's achieved all these things perfectly. This shoe is simple, comfortable, has great board feel, good grip, and will no doubt last through a lifetime of punishment. I give The Maholo an A, for Aloha … I'm actually throwing shakas down to my feet right now.—CC

hmmm...media source vs. interpersonal communication- when does it change. if you feel like youknow someone from their web page or weblog or whatever, is it personal yet? what about if you have interacted with them? what about interacting with others about them? does your perception of them being a 'personal' acquantiance equal messaging from them is personal?
so yeah, this is all i really have to talk about anymore. i doubt i will even know how to have normal interactions with my friends by the end of the semester. grad school bonds are strange and bonding is all about just going through this experience in a fairly closed off environment. i'll be glad when i at least know what to expect or the work finally levels off. i don't ever seem to stop reading or writing or grading or talking about how annoying/stressful everything is and i am still behind. and what the hell am i even going to do when i am done? get another job like the one i already had and quit? i can't really think of anything in my field that i would rather do. does this mean i will have to try for the phd so that i can take the out of teaching? time to go to sleep and maybe i will have another dream that will get some of this out of my head and free up space for tomorrow.
let's see- odd dream about giving a presentation and then my professors asking me to help them with a research project but the project required that i find images of children in pyjamas (sp?) which seemed fine at first, but then i realized that it was kind of creepy and i had to decide if getting to work on a research project with my professors was worth it if i had to possibly aid one or both of them being perverts. So then I went to the street that i used to live on to meet a photographer to ask her opinion, she was in the middle of an assignement where she was photographing very pregnant women, topless, in the middle of the street. It was kind of weird and i realized that she may not be the best person to ask about this whole thing. when i woke up and remembered my dream, the weirdest part about it was that it had been a great time! i wanted to go back to sleep and continue it. Was it because i was told that i had good ideas in the dream? whatever. in comparison the day was very disappointing, but just in comparison to the dream. seriously, i need to dream more, i do at least feel like my head got a little break.
self-confidence as predictor of media trust, less selective the lower confidence- because media is being sought to reflect ones self so if less concept/trust in self then less likely to look for media that reflects it
-partisanship v. media brand name as indicator of credibility/trust
-luxury of non-confidence- because so much info we can afford to question, also more exposed to conflicting messages (cost analysis or confilct resolution)
-blogs/daily show/thnic/alt- the literary digests of today?
-candidates as 'team' rep- if they screw up, YOU cringe, same with brands (?)
--Identification with media producers-means that your defenses are relaxed? They will filter/analyze like you
-Feel a bond based on similarity, expression,opinions, selectivity, partisanship, quirks, all info computes as thing that would make th other (source) view the world in a way like you might, so view of internal similarity leads to seeing external in same way which leads back to internal lowering of defenses
-find evidence of importance of quirks, oddities, unique feature (unique brand propositions?)
-brand=product as set up for human interaction (takes on human personality/characteristics)
-Is the ease of information (finding/digesting/congruous/partisan) more important than the information itself
-uses and gratifications- what purpose do people have for exposing themselves to messages
-Internet users tend to have less trust in govt...if don't see self represented, won't trust media, will trust (conferred) to those that DO rep (understnad) you and show that you are real
-Survival of species, forwards your 'type' and therefore if you overpower mainstream sources of media (power relationship) than it devalues mainstream media and raises your (representative) media
--or is it to have them filter sot aht you can rest...or because they don't profess neutrality while not seeming to have it (liars)...intent to persuade makes less credible
-with more coverage blogs/blog culture will change
-everyone's a star- if see self as media producer does that mean more or less latitutude when perceiving other producers
-Identification and reward behaviors
-producer effects- when you feel that you can produce media (or interact to the point that you are a main actor in the production) how does that change the way you relate to media?
-3rd parties in power relationships- ex. doctor/patient how does that change if sought out by patient or if the patient already feels that a disease/condition is the one in power- more willing to cede power (not resent) in relationship?
-where is the tipping point (power differential) for brands? when does the customer is in charge end and the brand doing something have power over the indiviudal?
now i can actually get stuff done- or at least not have an excuse to not get it done. matt is sleeping. he would call me such nerd if he ever saw this even though it is just like a little notebook that is accessible wherever...he will probably see it sometime since i accidently put it on the bookmark bar instead of in the drop-down menu.
other...i realized that i am just injexting way too much info without really sifting through it- that is why my first assignment was such a disaster- not many could explicate their concpet in such a way as to only make it more confusing and less defined but i managed to be that person.
it is kind of freeing to be totally out of the running for superstar status. my class hasn't really defined the stars/smartypants yet and there is
other...authorless environment- i agree that it is coming...again is ture enough but i think that with such a producer/creator/interactor culture that the self will become the referent point for credibility and judgement- merits of the text will be interpreted in that way, not to some larger text standard.
in as much as you can see some part of yourself or your point of view (opinions, etc) then it will be in the accepted range.
school is drving me crazy. too much work, not enough people worth collaborating with. my 8001 group is so smart i just wish that we all directed our thoughts in the same way. yeah yeah good stuff in other viewpoints, but working on a semester project with people who totally interpret articles nad theories differently does not a good experiment make. i have a feeling they think the same. hopefully stuff will get all figured out there.
8501- you'd think phd students would be so much mroe together and on top of everything- i am the lowly 1st year masters and i feel like i am doing way too much of the reading, etc. maybe they have just figured out the info overload/vomiting it all up and its all mixed an none of it makes any sense or is even worth trying to salvage.
Ok...need to stop gathering information and start reading/writing. Let's see....identification- based on history/experiences (shared/common), oddities/quarks (uniqueness), expression, opinions, values, beliefs. ID with those that reflect you. imagined/idealized you vs. reality of you. clone theory- if you had 10 you's you could have so much more time to do things just for fun as they do the drudge work- partisan media where the creators are incresingly becoming known (and therefore relatable) entities, they will get more trust because they can act as a filter/analyzer- they will do your clone work. I fit matches idealized of 'best' you than all the better. Oddity/unique will allow them to filter in a way others may no know how to do.
I have to go. I need to learn time management.
Ok- priming and creativity, do highly creative people prime things differently?
Identification- with brand, characters, politicians. Media we Id w/, points of view we ID with- implications of known (obtrusive) v. unknown idenity/identification.
ID with things differently when more self-aware? internal v. external locus of control and identification. Self-aware ads more likely to id with (they're in on the joke- Scream movies, etc)?
well i was going to wait until after the elections to start one of these....mostly i just need to keep track of my own thoughts instead of scribbling things down on random surfaces and then never being able to find them again. whether this will save me time/effort or simply be an additional time sucker (like the cable tv thing) remains to be seen
After all the library one didn't work two years ago....

The Northwest Arkansas Council is enlisting digital ambassadors to spread the region's story to friends and family nationwide with a single click.
"Digital ambassadors is an effort to engage people who are on Twitter, LinkedIn, Facebook, and allow them to share positive messages about Northwest Arkansas," says
Rob Smith, the NWA Council's Communications and Policy Specialist. "Every week or so we're going to ask them to share a message. Today's message is about XNA and the fact that it's celebrating 15 years, so that's a great resource for travelers and our companies and we want to show the world that XNA's out there and available."
Smith says our area is already known nationwide as the home of Walmart, Tyson and Crystal Bridges, but many people have no idea about the other amenities our area has to offer.
"They don't know that we're really a region and a bunch of communities kind of melded together," he says. "Not everybody knows we have a AA baseball team. Not everybody knows we have a terrific Walton Arts Center... and it's a fantastic place to live."
Clinton House Museum Director Kate Johnson received an invitation Thursday, and immediately saw the program's potential.
"It can show our pride, and I feel that is the base of tourism in general, so it is just another way to let people know what's out there," she says. "Social media is the vehicle that we have chosen as a society to go full throttle."
Each post is worth points, and at the end of each month the council plans to reward the top ambassadors with prizes. The sign up opened to the public Thursday, and Smith says more than 120 people are already helping to spread the word.
"The ultimate goal is to share the story of Northwest Arkansas, whether that's a story about amenities here, or availability of jobs here, or that we're a growing successful region," he says. "We know that. We live here. We experience it, but people long distances from here don't necessarily know that, some do, but we want to ensure that everyone knows that."
For more information on the program, visit this website.

Beyonc� Speaks On Role In New Film Epic
Beyonc� has opened up about the role she voiced in the upcoming animated feature Epic. Lady Bey lent her voice to the character of Queen Tara and, in a new promo video for the film, she says she's thrilled for fans to see the movie.
"I've always imagined being in an animated film. I've always wanted to be a queen," said B.
"Queen Tara is very important in Epic. She's preserved the beauty of her natural world and the safety of her people. Everything in this movie is big-the action, the characters. This is one time where the film really lives up to its title."
Epic, which co-stars Amanda Seyfried, Colin Farrell, and Aziz Ansari, details the struggle between the forces of good and evil in a forest. It is scheduled to hit theaters on May 24.

Hostelworld "meet the world" by Lucky Generals
Rating: 5.0
By Jacob Mathias, campaignlive.co.uk, Thursday, 05 August 2010 02:15PM
The "Hungry for Action" campaign was produced by digital marketing agency Blue Barracuda and includes a microsite, Facebook game, and online marketing campaign, which will promote the film and restaurant brand partnership and drive pizza sales.
The Facebook game, 'Hungry for A-Team Action', is built around the popular Facebook Pizza Hut game, 'Pass It Around Pizza'.
Players will have the chance to fight the American army as a member of 'The A-Team' and collect film themed pizzas including the Cheesy Faceman Pizza, the Howling Mad Veggie Pizza, the BA Meat Machine Pizza and the Hannibal Hot Pizza.
The game will be promoted on Facebook, Kiss 100 and ExchangeLabs along with a radio ad campaign booked by Starcom.
The ad campaign uses time targeted, demographically targeted, geo-targeted, contextually targeted and behaviorally targeted media to engage the appropriate consumers and sell pizzas.
Murray Willows, Pizza Hut chief marketing officer, said: "We have created a range of new pizzas to promote our partnership with this Summer's blockbuster action film, 'The A-Team' and the game is the perfect way to engage consumers.
"We liked the retro design of the last game Blue Barracuda created, the football-themed Pass it around pizza, which was incredibly successful, generating over a quarter of a million plays and counting."
'The A-Team' was released in the UK on 30 July.

This course is designed to prepare students for engagement with independent research through a dissertation in Semester 2 of 3/4 BA. The course builds upon modules TI251 Theory and Practice in Geography I and TI252 Theory and Practice in Geography II in second year, further exposing students to a critical perspective on how knowledge is produced in Geography and the role of primary and secondary sources in that context.
The course provides support for the conceptualisation and development of a research topic, including guidance in literature searching, academic writing, and the design of a research proposal. Students will also be introduced to some of the principal analytical methodologies used by geographers, learning highly relevant and transferable skills in the process.

WPA is an encryption scheme designed to secure the wireless network of your home or office from intruders and eavesdroppers. It is reportedly safer than WEP. There have been numerous attempts to break WEP and WPA encryption with mixed results. This tutorial discusses currently available techniques for testing the wireless network security. Be aware that breaking into your neighbor's network without permission is wrong.
What You Need
To test security of wireless networks, you can use the live CD Linux distribution called Backtrack. You can download its latest ISO image from Remote-Exploit.org and burn it with any CD burner program like InfraRecorder or CDBurnerXP. Alternatively, you can try the SliTaz Aircrack-NG distribution which is lighter and simpler than Backtrack.
Here's a list of what you need to crack WPA/WPA2:
- a very powerful computer
- a wireless card/adapter supported by Aircrack-NG
- Backtrack or SliTaz Aircrack-ng Distro
- A little knowledge of Linux
- Optional: WPA-PSK Rainbow Tables (7 GB or 33 GB)
- Optional: coWPAtty program
Reboot your computer with a Backtrack CD and you'll be presented with the KDE environment.
Surveying Wireless Networks with Kismet
Launch Konsole which is located right next to the KDE Start menu. Open
/usr/local/etc/kismet.conf in a text editor and edit the
source= line to include your wireless device. For example, for Broadcom 43xx based card, put
source=bcm43xx,eth1,bcm43xx. Refer to Kismet documentation section 12. Save kismet.conf and start kismet.
Once kismet starts detecting wireless networks around, press s and P to sort the network list by packet counts in descending order. Press Up or Down key to move to the target network and press i for network information or c for client list. Write down such information as:
- ESSID (wireless network name)
- BSSID (MAC address of access point)
- channel of wireless network
- MAC address of clients
Press x to close popup windows and Q to exit Kismet.
Brute-Force Dictionary Attack
This is the classic brute-force attack.
airmon-ng stop wlan0
airmon-ng start wlan0
The commands above put your wireless device in monitor mode. The monitor mode is the mode whereby your wireless card can listen to wireless traffic passively. Replace wlan0 with your wireless device name, such as eth1. Type iwconfig to make sure your card is in monitor mode.
airodump-ng -w test wlan0
Skip the step above if you used Kismet as in the previous section. Here airodump-ng is used to survey the wi-fi networks. Press Ctrl+C to stop airodump-ng. Copy BSSID (MAC address) of the target network.
airodump-ng -w logfile -c 3 --bssid A0:B1:C2:D3:E4:F5 wlan0
Sniff and log the target network (specified with --bssid option) on the specified channel (-c option) to the specified log file (-w option). Wait until WPA Handshake message appears on the screen. Then, stop airodump-ng by pressing Ctrl+C.
Optionally, if you see a client connected to the target network but no authentication handshake, then you can deauthenticate the client by running the following example command in a separate terminal:
aireplay-ng -0 5 -a 00:14:6C:7E:40:80 -c 00:0F:B5:FD:FB:C2 wlan0
where -a option specifies the access point and -c option specifies the client to deauthenticate. Hopefully, the command above will trick the client to renegotiate a 4-way authentication handshake with the access point. Otherwise, you'll have to wait until a handshake message shows up on airodump-ng outpout.
zcat /pentest/password/pico/cowpatty/final-wordlist.txt.gz > /tmp/wordlist.txt
aircrack-ng -a 2 -w /tmp/wordlist.txt logfile*.cap
Begin a brute-force dictionary attack using the saved log file(s) and the specified dictionary (-w option). Aircrack-ng will try every word in the dictionary until the correct passphrase is found. It may take hours or several days depending on the size of dictionary and the speed of your CPU to try every word in the dictionary. However, if the passphrase is not found in the dictionary or made up of random alphanumeric characters, then you are out of luck and just wasting your time. In this case, the dictionary attack won't be any good.
Finding a Good Dictionary
You need a good dictionary to crack WPA. Backtract 3 CD has wordlist files at the following locations:
Also, aircrack FAQ page has an extensive list of places where you can download good wordlists from. In addition, I found a good wordlist called 9-final-wordlist.zip here.

Jason Berkowitz sold his Baltimore County townhouse more quickly than he thought possible. Getting a new place? Not so easy.
I shared his story a month ago, when he'd just accepted a contract on his home in Lutherville-Timonium after only six days on the market. He was concerned about the lack of inventory he was seeing, especially in the sweet spot of homes with asking prices that accurately reflect their condition, but hoped more was just about to hit for the spring selling season.

Martez Wilson – Standing Tall and Strong
One of the many overused sports-related catch phrases that are haphazardly thrown around is "mental toughness". It's used when an athlete needs a little something more to overcome adversities; when his/her body breaks down, the weather is unbearable or circumstances may point to defeat, "mental toughness" is employed to rise above these hardships. Most times, coddled and protected collegiate football players never get to experience hard times, so their mental toughness is never developed. When they are then thrown into a playoff game in a snowstorm, with a sore knee and asked to lead a 4th quarter comeback and fail, there are then called "mentally weak".
Are they really? How can we grade someone on a test that we didn't prepare them for?
Enter Martez Wilson. He stands tall not because he's a lean 6'4″ 250lbs., but because he overcame a crippling injury, 2 surgeries, media assassination and sentiments of being a "bust" to being a projected 1st round draft pick.
Highly recruited out of Simeon Career Academy in Chicago, Illinois, Wilson enjoyed all the accolades and awards one could handle. He was a USA Today All-American, #6 on ESPN's Top 150 and was a 5 Star Recruit on Rivals.com, just to name a few.
After an illustrious HS career, he shocked many when he turned down Notre Dame, USC, Ohio State, Miami (FL), Florida and Michigan to stay home and attend the University of Illinois.
To him, the choice was simple, "The decision involved my parents a lot. My parents felt that the Illinois coaches showed me the most love and was the most honest with me, as well. We all felt more confident about it. It was close to home, too. Notre Dame is close too, but (Illinois) is closer. The coach is what really made me commit. Coach Zook talked to me and I felt that he was the one I really wanted to play for."
Unbeknownst to him, these 3 years in Champaign, is where his "mental toughness" would be developed, disciplined and championed.
During his sophomore year in 2008, Wilson was hospitalized after being stabbed while breaking up a fight. It was his testimony that he stepped in to help a defenseless former teammate and current friend, as a group of men were punching and kicking him. He was stabbed in the back twice and received surgery that night.
The media dubbed him as a "thug" and "trouble-maker" that has "off-field" and "character" issues. Martez took more positives out of the situation than negatives, "Laying in the hospital bed, a lot of things changed for me mentally," Wilson said. "I could have easily been taken away, off the planet Earth. I tuned in real close to myself and said, 'I really have to focus. Take advantage of my scholarship and football. Take it real serious.' "
Wilson said the thoughts came to him as he woke up in the hospital.
"It just happened," Wilson said. "I was just shaking my head, catching myself crying a little bit, and saying, 'I know I can't let this take me down. I'm going to bounce back from this.' " (Asmussen, IlliniHQ.com, 2009)
Then, after moving over to Middle Linebacker before the 2009 season, he suffered a neck injury in the season opener against Missouri, that required season ending surgery.
This had to have been crushing to Wilson. After appearing in all 13 games as a true freshman and amassing 73 tackles, 3 sacks, 2 fumble recoveries and a forced fumble in '08, he'll miss the remainder of the 2009 season.
First the "incident", now the "injury". This is when the "bust" sentiments began circulating.
Yet, Wilson still remained strong.
He put into motion the promise he made to himself while laying in a hospital bed a year ago – he will make the best of his opportunity by working hard. Outworking everyone else; in the weight room, on the track and in the film room.
The result? Dick Butkus Award watch list, 2nd in the Big Ten in forced fumbles, 4th in the Big Ten in tackles and led all Big Ten LBs with 15 tackles for loss, all on his way to being named to the All-Big Ten Second Team.
And most importantly, an invite to the NFL Combines.
Not bad for a guy who had 2 surgeries in 9 months.
Looking back, Wilson is thankful and grateful for his time at Illinois. When asked if he had lived up to his hype coming out of Simeon, with a smile he replied, "Yes. I'm in a wonderful situation. I'm here training for the combines. That's a big accomplishment because not anyone gets invited. That's a blessing to be recognized as one of the best in the nation to play college football."
Unlike coming out of high school, Wilson didn't garner a lot of hype when he declared for the NFL draft. Not showing up on any Top Ten or Players to Watch list, he has taken being under the radar with maturity and professionalism, again finding positivity amongst negativity.
Humbly, he planned to "take everyone by surprise".
And he sure did.
He was the fastest LB at the Combines, running a ridiculous 4.49 (unofficially at 4.44) and was at the top of all LBs in the Broad Jump with an astounding 10'4" leap. He used that big, yet ripped and lean 6'4", 250lb. frame to further impress in the position drills.
Highly respected Mike Mayock of The NFL Network, exclaimed that Wilson is "blowing up athletically".
Still standing tall.
He may have surprised NFL scouts, coaches and GMs everywhere, but his trainer Billy Miller of Elite Sports Factory saw it coming.
"He's a phenomenal athlete. I expect him to be one of the best LBs at the Combines. He's gonna bench in the 20s (23) and have the fastest 40 (4.49).
In fact, the only surprise that Miller got, was the size of Wilson when he first entered the facility, "his frame is a lot bigger than I expected".
Miller and the staff at Elite Sports Factory (that includes 4-time Olympic gold medalist and former World's Fastest Man, Maurice Green) improved an already athletically gifted Wilson and turned him into a head-turning machine.
"We noticed that his weaknesses were his stiff hips, footwork, quick steps and flexibility. We implemented these into his workout. He is now loose, with great feet."
Working at Elite for 3 times per day for 12 weeks, Wilson gained 12 lbs. of muscle and dropped to a miniscule 2.2% body fat.
With his improvements courtesy of Elite Sports Factory, Wilson is standing taller and stronger.
Martez absolutely dominated the NFL Combines. Scouts everywhere were blown away. Stating that he may have been the biggest Combine gainer, they called his performance "impressive" and Mock Draf writers have him being the first LB taken off the board. With another solid performance at his Pro Day, Wilson is poised to solidify his #1 LB ranking by NFL Network's Mike Mayock and creep into the 1st round of the upcoming NFL Draft.
It has been a long and windy road, with more than a few potholes and speed bumps. But, Wilson was strong enough to steer his way through it all. He admitted that he learned and grew every inch of the way, noting that his leadership, mental toughness and drive for the game were areas that were most affected. "Being away from the game for so long, I watched people. Watched their motors, energy levels, watch film and studied me. I was the hardest person to critique myself than anyone. That is one of my biggest advantages."
And this is how you Stand Strong.

Wife accused of husband's murder, elaborate alibi
By Craig Hlavaty | July 31, 2014 | Updated: July 31, 2014 5:26pm
Photo By Harris County Sheriff's Office
Sandra Melgar is charged in the December 2012 murder of her husband Jaime Melgar. Jamie was found bound and stabbed to death in a closet of their Harris County home on Dec. 23, 2012. Sandra was found tied up in another by family members who came to celebrate the couple's wedding anniversary. Sandra told police she had blacked out in a bathroom and when she awoke she had found herself in the closet.
A woman has been charged in the 2012 stabbing death of her husband in their Houston home just before Christmas.
Sandra Jean Melgar, 54, has been charged with murder, according to Harris County court documents in the death of her husband Jamie Melgar, 52, on December 23, 2012 in the 9500 block of Kelsey Meadows Court.
Relatives found the body of Jaime Melgar in one closet, and his wife still alive in another closet in the house.
Melgar told authorities she blacked out in the bathroom around 1 a.m. with her husband. She said she was tied up in the closet when she woke up.
Family members discovered the pair around 4:40 p.m. when they arrived at the house to help the couple celebrate a wedding anniversary. Relatives entered through an open garage door and came out screaming for neighbors to call police a short time later, witnesses said. Neighbors speculated that the couple was a victim of a home invasion, but authorities would not elaborate on the scene, motive or cause of death.
The couple had lived in the house about six years, according to county records.
Sandra Melgar is currently out on $50,000 bond according to court records. Her next court date is set for August 14 in the Harris County 178th Criminal District Court.

Is there a way to make a prop or hair item into a figure wich conforms to Genesis?
I think it should work if you use the transfer utility. Maybe use the 'Convert prop to figure…' command in the geometry submenu in the edit menu. Not sure, though.
thank you. "convert prop to figure" works great
dyret - 21 November 2012 12:02 AMIs there a way to make a prop or hair item into a figure wich conforms to Genesis?
NO YOU MAY NOT! I forbid you to do it! You absolutely MUST NOT!
But have fun doing it anyway
What you might try doing is go to r.com or wherever, download clothing and translate it to Genesis. You'll need Victoria 4 shape for Genesis or Michael 4 shape for Genesis depending on the clothing you're converting. I found doing this helps one understand how conforming anything works with Genesis

Steps of Faith Mission International recently convened a New Year's congregation at its SeyerrJobe auditorium in SerreKunda, to pray for the people and the country.
The religious gathering, which attracted a large turnout, was welcomed with happiness and joy, as it also availed the members the opportunity to wish each other the best of luck in 2013. The theme of the gathering was "Leaping Miracle".
In an interview with the Daily Observer, Apostle Chris Chime, the general overseer of the Steps of Faith Mission International, described the night as important, as they entered into a New Year, with God's blessing, favour and protection. He informed that they used the occasion to pray into the future, for the entireChristians, as well as their fellow Muslim brothers and sisters for God's guidance.
His vision for this year, Apostle Chris Chime declared, is to open another branch of Steps of Faith of Mission International, especially in the upcountry, to cover areas that are difficult to reach, in their quest to spread the word of God. It is also among their plans, he said, to train more disciples to do the work.
For his part, Pastor Vincent stated that the purpose of the night'sservice was to pray for the protection of the people into the future, and for the nation. Pastor Micheal Okpe and Pastor Famous expressed similar sentiments.
