The Material Detector Mod gives you the ability to find resources easily as they are located on the map. Material Detector Mod adds Mini map similar to REI's MiNi Map but the map comes in two views Horizontal and vertical. All resources are shown on the map by white arrows and you can choose which view you want depending on your preference and which you find easier to use.
Too stop the map being covered in white arrows where resources are the map only shows the resources on the level you are at. Material Detector Mod is easy to read and also shows water and lava so you don't dig straight down into a pool of lava. Some people consider Material Detector Mod to be cheating as if your on the correct levels you can easily find the rare ores such as diamond and red stone.
Material Detector Mod can be installed using the latest version of mod loader and is up to date with Minecraft 1.2.5
How to Install Material Detector Mod for Minecraft 1.2.5
- Download ModLoader
- Download the Material Detector Mod

HLN's Kyra Phillips on Keeping Viewers Watching After the Jodi Arias Trial Ends
HLN has seen its viewership increase during the Jodi Arias murder trial, but what happens after the verdict is reached?
In this episode of Media Beat, "Raising America" anchor Kyra Phillips tells TVNewser's managing editor Chris Ariens about the opportunity and the challenge presented by the network's coverage of the Arias trial. "I want to say to them, 'OK, I get it. I understand you're interested in this. OK, we can give you some of that. We can continue to give you that. But also give me a chance to show you another way that we do TV, another way that we do news."

|Syntactic Confectionery Delight
Can I please have *simple* modules?by Ovid (Cardinal)
|on Nov 23, 2005 at 06:38 UTC ( #511014=perlmeditation: print w/replies, xml )
|Need Help??
Class::MethodMaker is symptomatic of a problem that is causing me more and more frustration. Bricolage, as many know, is rather difficult to install. A huge part of the problem isn't Bricolage itself (once the dependencies are in place Bricolage is a piece of cake to install), it's the twisty little maze of annoying dependencies which are the bulk of the problem. Some dependencies don't list all of their dependencies. Some fail their tests but run just fine. Some fail their tests but those failures are portions of the software we don't use. What's a programmer to do?
Personally, I've sent plenty of bug reports to authors. Sometimes they fix them. Sometimes they ignore them. I've sent plenty of patches to authors. Sometimes they use them. Sometimes they ignore them. Sometimes I've just sent a damned tarball with everything working only to receive no response. In fact, there's one piece of software I use regularly which I've patched locally because I've been waiting over a year for the author to keep his promise to incorporate my patch (I'm not naming the code but I'm pretty annoyed by this).
What do these various modules have in common? They're usually large "wunderkind" modules which do everything you could ever want and your dishes too. Unfortunately, they have a nasty habit of breaking those dishes. Class::MethodMaker is a great module and I've used it quite a bit in the past, but it's been seriously failing its installs for over a year and these don't appear to be the typical failures related to the CPANPLUS bugs we've all been plagued with lately. This is a problem I keep encountering and it's frustrating when I run into huge modules which keep failing and I only need a small fraction of its functionality.
So I suppose I can look at Class::MethodMaker's XS code and regular code and try to see what's going on but frankly, it's very confusing code (just take a look at Build.PL and Makefile.PL). With Class::Trait, I sent enough patches and suggestions for complicated code because I needed it (that was before stvn gave it to me). With so many other modules, I face the agonizing task of maybe having a bug fixed, maybe having a patch accepted, maybe having some response from the author when, for the most part, I don't need that code.
There's nothing wrong with wanting small, lightweight modules that do exactly what I need and do it well. There's absolutely nothing wrong with trying to build big modules that do everything an end user might need (I've written some of them), but there's also nothing wrong with deliberately trying to get small, easy to install modules that just friggin' work. The problem is, when we release large software packages with many dependencies, relying on other large software packages with many dependencies means that more things are likely to break and my software is less likely to be useful.
So when perrin reasonably suggests that I reuse existing code, I feel trapped between Scylla and Charibdis. If I follow his suggestion, I'm going to spend more time on something which may or may not work only to incorporate code which makes our products harder for others to install and use. Or, if I create a small, powerful alternative which is much less likely to break, I can silently incorporate it in our code and not get a chance to share it or I can put it on the CPAN and have people get upset with me reinventing the wheel.
This is why Joel Spolky's defence of "Not Invented Here" syndrome is more and more appealing to me. I really don't know what else to do. Should I not "pollute" the CPAN with easy to use modules which might duplicate functionality? There are definitely pros and cons to this approach, but I'm beginning to think that if I "reinvent" any wheels, maybe just not releasing them is the way to go. That sounds selfish, but I'm also concerned about CPAN pollution. It's often difficult to find what we need and if everyone releases every module they've ever written, it's going to make a current bad problem even worse. I really don't know the best solution here.

This little pot o' liner is awesome. It goes on easier than a traditional liquid liner -- especially if you use a quality fine-tip brush -- and actually lasts.

In this feature-length documentary, Troy James Hurtubise goes face to face with Canada's most deadly land mammal, the grizzly bear. Troy is the creator of what he hopes is a grizzly-proof suit, and he repeatedly tests his armour – and courage – in stunts that are both hair-raising and hilarious. Directed by Peter Lynch, the film has become a cult classic in the United States and is rumoured to be a favourite of director Quentin Tarantino.

One day when I was 22 years old I went for a walk through Newtown. Anyways, as I was walking around a corner I heard a soft moan. Ever so soft. I heard it again. So I began to investigate quietly. I then stumbled upon a sexy young man who looked about my age sitting there completely naked stroking a cock that was about 8 inches long. I seized my chance. I stepped out of my hiding place and said, "Hello there!!!" I scared him so badly that he came right then and there. He was so embarrassed. He attempted to clean up but I said, "Allow me..." And I stripped off every layer of clothes I had on me and threw them off somewhere. I got down on my hands and knees and crawled over to him and wrapped my lips around that luscious penis head. His cock tasted so good! I had trouble at first getting his entire thing inside my mouth, but I managed eventually. 20 minutes went by and I was still sucking. He finally came in my mouth, and I gagged because there was so much of it. But I lapped up every drop of his delicious juices. His fat dick spent and mine full of cum, I flipped him over onto his stomach and pulled his ass to my prick. I didn't have any lube so I just stuck my finger in his mouth and wet with his spit I stuck it into his asshole. I worked it for 30 seconds until I worked in 3 fingers...I pulled them out and his hole was still gaping wide open. Wide enough for me to plunge into him with all my energy and fuck him hard. I fucked that hole for a good 10 minutes before I flipped him back over and shot the biggest cum load of my life all over his chest and into his mouth and on his huge dick, which was now ready to be sucked again.

AVGN: Batman Part 2
Mike Matei / August 10th, 2008

Damn no Adventures of Batman and Robin on Sega Genesis, that's like the best one.
November 17, 2013 at 10:39 pm
nonononononononooooo! Batman The Animated Series on the Super Nintendo was WAAAAAAAY better. The BEST retro batman game

I've seen this a thousand times, but i can't stop laughing! The script ist brilliant, so is Mike.
My fav episode besides Gozilla =)
May 4, 2010 at 4:55 pm
i've been playing batman returns for the nes lately, and it's really not that bad. you kill the gargoyles by shooting them when they charge their attack. but anyway, it's a fun game. it has good power ups, unlimited continues, and a simple password structure. id recommend it for anyone that wants a good side scrolling shooter.gonzoneil
May 13, 2010 at 12:22 am
the gargoyle rant is possibly the angriest and definitely one of the funniest AVGN moments.atma505

HOLY BAT SHIT THAT'S FUNNY!!! lol.
The nerd anger meter is off the charts in this video. "AGAIN!!! THE FIRST F**KING LEVEL!!!" "BATMAN CAN"T TOUCH A F**KING STATUE!?" and the classic "…. F**K!!!" whenever he dies. "THAT DOESN"T EVEN OBEY THE LAWS OF PHYSICS!!!"
The music is really great.
Mike Matei as the joker, i love it Batman: SHUT UP!, Joker: F**K YOU MOTHERF**KER!!!
and boy do the Nerd and Motherf**ker Mike love to fight each other in videos.
And the Batnerd shoving those games up the Joker's ass is one of the greatest moments in nerd history. The Nerd really went all out in this one.phoenix252005
October 21, 2010 at 1:52 pm
Frikin funny!! The nerds anger is beyond angry this time! Classic! Mike is frikin funny as the Joker tooSpeedyEric
October 22, 2010 at 11:54 am
Mike always does a great job as the guest stars, and is role as The Joker is no exception. =)
The music in "Return of the Joker" is awesome. Chris Holland also did his guitar version of it, and it can be found on his YouTube page.
Batman in the Game Boy version looks as bulky as he was in the graphic novel, "The Dark Knight Returns."
The end fight is pure comedy gold.philotaku
October 29, 2010 at 3:28 pm
Funny as hell; I have to thank the Nerd for the Batman The Caped Crusader review: I always wondered how that game worked, If he ever revisits this topic again I hope for a review of the Mega Drive Batman game; it was a good game but hard as heck and I needed a damn Game Genie to finish it. More power to the Nerd!nomad175
November 27, 2010 at 11:34 pm
Oh great you reminded me of the Bat-Dance! Also, Mike's Joker reminds me of Cesar Romero. Although, I guess from the '60s series jokes that you guys intended it that way.

As far as the joker, the voice is intentionally irritating. He is immitating the maniacal attitude of Cesar Romero Joker from the 50's Batman TV Show.

Dude,Nerd….. James? PLEEEEEASE bring back the Joker (Mike) somehow in a new video. He is AMAZING at playing that character perfectly.

This is The First Assembly of The Holy Kirk, and the mission of my new nerdy religion is to seek comfort, wisdom, and maybe something about ourselves and our future by spreading the enlightening words of the 79 stories charting the adventures of the star ship Enterprise. All who wish to join my online discussions say "Live Long And Prosper" as a comment. This may be what Trekkies might need to be complete, and be enlightened on the deeper meanings that each episode contains.

There is a certain spot you stand on and the gargoyles die easily enough. The NES is by far the best…The worst of the return series is on SNES. Cannot believe you didn't do that one.KingMike

The Nerd has done his job, keeping my friend from playing Return of the Joker. Even though I tell him it's not THAT difficult, the Nerd is just playing it wrong (CHARGE SHOTS!). 🙁
I've never beaten the Joker myself, but I'm probably just too impatient to wait for when he's wide open.
Honestly the spikey-death ceiling in the following part is far worse than the falling rocks. (the first jump over a pit is very difficult to make without touch the instant-death ceiling)avgnfanfckballs

Conventional wisdom, if there is such a thing in terms of the draft, has it that the Raiders are out of the running for either of the prize defensive tackles.
Oklahoma's Gerald McCoy and Nebraska's Ndamukong Suh gone by the first three picks.
If Al Davis were looking to get one one of those two players to help plug a porous middle and join Tommy Kelly and Desmond Bryant, he would almost certainly have to trade up.
Bucky Brooks, a former Raiders defensive back and NFL.com correspondent, maps out a scenario where Suh could fall to the Raiders at No. 8 in his most recent mock draft.
If this were to happen, and Suh ends up being the call, Al Davis ought to offer him a job.
At the tail end of last season, Richard Seymour and Greg Ellis were singing Suh's praises during casual conversation, believing him to be worthy of his considerable reputation.
His Big 12 title game performance against Texas was as dominant a game as I've seen from a defensive tackle in college football.

computer for hardware - What is Hardware ?
computer for hardware - What is Hardware ? computer for hardware - What is Hardware ? computer for hardware - What is Hardware ?
What is Hardware ?
Your PC (Personal Computer) is a system, consisting of many components. Some of those components, like Windows XP, and all your other programs, are software. The stuff you can actually see and touch, and would likely break if you threw it out a fifth-story window, is hardware.
Not everybody has exactly the same hardware. But those of you who have a desktop system, like the example shown in Figure 1, probably have most of the components shown in that same figure. Those of you with notebook computers probably have most of the same components. Only in your case the components are all integrated into a single book-sized portable unit.
Figure 1
The system unit is the actual computer; everything else is called a peripheral device. Your computer's system unit probably has at least one floppy disk drive, and one CD or DVD drive, into which you can insert floppy disks and CDs. There's another disk drive, called the hard disk inside the system unit, as shown in Figure 2. You can't remove that disk, or even see it. But it's there. And everything that's currently "in your computer" is actually stored on that hard disk. (We know this because there is no place else inside the computer where you can store information!).
Figure 2
The floppy drive and CD drive are often referred to as drives with removable media or removable drives for short, because you can remove whatever disk is currently in the drive, and replace it with another. Your computer's hard disk can store as much information as tens of thousands of floppy disks, so don't worry about running out of space on your hard disk any time soon. As a rule, you want to store everything you create or download on your hard disk. Use the floppy disks and CDs to send copies of files through the mail, or to make backup copies of important items.
Random Access Memory (RAM)
There's too much "stuff" on your computer's hard disk to use it all at the same time. During the average session sitting at the computer, you'll probably use only a small amount of all that's available. The stuff you're working with at any given moment is stored in random access memory (often abbreviated RAM, and often called simply "memory"). The advantage using RAM to store whatever you're working on at the moment is that RAM is very fast. Much faster than any disk. For you, "fast" translates to less time waiting and more time being productive.
So if RAM is so fast, why not put everything in it? Why have a hard disk at all? The answer to that lies in the fact that RAM is volatile. As soon as the computer is shut off, whether intentionally or by an accidental power outage, every thing in RAM disappears, just as quickly as a light bulb goes out when the plug is pulled. So you don't want to rely on RAM to hold everything. A disk, on the other hand, holds its information whether the power is on or off.
The Hard Disk
All of the information that's "in your computer", so to speak, is stored on your computer's hard disk. You never see that actual hard disk because it's sealed inside a special housing and needs to stay that way. Unlike RAM, which is volatile, the hard disk can hold information forever -- with or without electricity. Most modern hard disks have tens of billions of bytes of storage space on them. Which, in English, means that you can create, save, and download files for months or years without using up all the storage space it provides.
In the unlikely event that you do manage to fill up your hard disk, Windows will start showing a little message on the screen that reads "You are running low on disk space" well in advance of any problems. In fact, if that message appears, it won't until you're down to about 800 MB of free space. And 800 MB of empty space is equal to about 600 blank floppy disks. That's still plenty of room!
The Mouse
Obviously you know how to use your mouse, since you must have used it to get here. But let's take a look at the facts and buzzwords anyway. Your mouse probably has at least two buttons on it. The button on the left is called the primary mouse button, the button on the right is called the secondary mouse button or just the right mouse button. I'll just refer to them as the left and right mouse buttons. Many mice have a small wheel between the two mouse buttons, as illustrated in Figure 3.
Figure 3
The idea is to rest your hand comfortably on the mouse, with your index finger touching (but not pressing on) the left mouse button. Then, as you move the mouse, the mouse pointer (the little arrow on the screen) moves in the same direction. When moving the mouse, try to keep the buttons aimed toward the monitor -- don't "twist" the mouse as that just makes it all the harder to control the position of the mouse pointer.
If you find yourself reaching too far to get the mouse pointer where you want it to be on the screen, just pick up the mouse, move it to where it's comfortable to hold it, and place it back down on the mousepad or desk. The buzzwords that describe how you use the mouse are as follows:
- Point: To point to an item means to move the mouse pointer so that it's touching the item.
- Click: Point to the item, then tap (press and release) the left mouse button.
- Double-click: Point to the item, and tap the left mouse button twice in rapid succession - click-click as fast as you can.
- Right-click: Point to the item, then tap the mouse button on the right.
- Drag: Point to an item, then hold down the left mouse button as you move the mouse. To drop the item, release the left mouse button.
- Right-drag: Point to an item, then hold down the right mouse button as you move the mouse. To drop the item, release the right mouse button.The Keyboard
Like the mouse, the keyboard is a means of interacting with your computer. You really only need to use the keyboard when you're typing text. Most of the keys on the keyboard are laid out like the keys on a typewriter. But there are some special keys like Esc (Escape), Ctrl (Control), and Alt (Alternate). There are also some keys across the top of the keyboard labeled F1, F2, F3, and so forth. Those are called the function keys, and the exact role they play depends on which program you happen to be using at the moment.
Most keyboards also have a numeric keypad with the keys laid out like the keys on a typical adding machine. If you're accustomed to using an adding machine, you might want to use the numeric keypad, rather than the numbers across the top of the keyboard, to type numbers. It doesn't really matter which keys you use. The numeric keypad is just there as a convenience to people who are accustomed to adding machines.
Figure 4
Most keyboards also contain a set of navigation keys. You can use the navigation keys to move around around through text on the screen. The navigation keys won't move the mouse pointer. Only the mouse moves the mouse pointer.
On smaller keyboards where space is limited, such as on a notebook computer, the navigation keys and numeric keypad might be one in the same. There will be a Num Lock key on the keypad. When the Num Lock key is "on", the numeric keypad keys type numbers. When the Num Lock key is "off", the navigation keys come into play. The Num Lock key acts as a toggle. Which is to say, when you tap it, it switches to the opposite state. For example, if Num Lock is on, tapping that key turns it off. If Num Lock is off, tapping that key turns Num Lock on.
Combination Keystrokes (Shortcut keys)
Those mysterious Ctrl and Alt keys are often used in combination with other keys to perform some task. We often refer to these combination keystrokes as shortcut keys, because they provide an alternative to using the mouse to select menu options in programs. Shortcut keys are always expressed as:
where the idea is to hold down key1, tap key2, then release key1. For example, to press Ctrl+Esc hold down the Ctrl key (usually with your pinkie), tap the Esc key, then release the Ctrl key. To press Alt+F you hold down the Alt key, tap the letter F, then release the Alt key.

Royal Oak (WWJ) – Six red kangaroo joeys are growing by leaps and bounds – both in and out of their mothers' pouches – at the Detroit Zoo's Australian Outback Adventure.
Two females – Sheila, born in June 2011 to JoAnn, and Isa, born in August 2011 to Charlotte – can be seen exploring their habitat with the adult mob. The four youngest joeys, all still hidden in the pouch, were born in January and April of this year. Their genders and names will be determined when they emerge.
"It's always a lot of fun to see a joey poke its head out of its mother's pouch, and there will be plenty of opportunities for that in the coming weeks," said Robert Lessnau, Detroit Zoological Society Curator of Mammals. "Sheila and Isa are already hopping around and are easy to spot because of their size."
Born the size of a jellybean, a joey will live in its mother's pouch until it has developed and matured, emerging when it reaches about six months old. A female kangaroo can carry three offspring in different stages simultaneously: one out-of-pouch joey, one in-pouch joey and one dormant embryo, born once the eldest joey is independent. She can produce two types of milk at the same time for both the infant and the older joey.
The red kangaroo (Macropus rufus) is the largest marsupial, or pouched mammal. The male has a reddish-brown coat with a white underside, and can grow up to 6 feet tall and weigh 200 pounds. The female is a bluish-grey color – earning her the nickname "blue flyer" – and only reaches about 3 feet tall and 30-40 pounds.
The Detroit Zoo's Australian Outback Adventure is home to 18 red kangaroos, four red-necked wallabies and two emus. Visitors can get face to face with the marsupials from right inside their habitat, traveling along a winding path while the animals are free to bound and graze wherever they please.
We recommend that you listen to the song "Tie Me Kangaroo Down, Sport" while reading this article.

We've not written much about Atlus' Code of Princess, and that's partly my fault. I saw the online-enabled co-op and competitive action role-playing game at E3 earlier this year, and forgot. I know, let's blame Persona!
In fact it was sort of Persona 4 Golden's fault. After getting a small taste of that and the console fighter from the same beloved franchise, the last thing I wanted to do was sit and stare at a 3DS, even if what I was seeing was pretty darn compelling.
So here's the competitive multiplayer trailer for Code of Princess, due out October 9 for the 3DS.
Oh what the hell, here's the co-op trailer as well.

I don't usually think of people interested in peak oil, climate change and economic collapse as particularly religious. "Spiritual" maybe — Sufi dancing and Lakota Vision Quests are OK and agnosticism is better. But peak preppers are usually not the kind of folks you'd expect to see in the pew on Sunday at First Presbyterian.
The Age of Limits conference held at the end of May offered some new insights on how religion, as an organized institution, could play a key role in helping mitigate the collapse that the conference's speakers think has already hit many parts of the world, including much of the U.S.
Though at this event, neither religion nor collapse were what they used to be.
The speakers, collapsitarians all — Dmitry Orlov, John Michael Greer, Gail Tverberg and Carolyn Baker — apparently weren't born again while reading the Book of Job and didn't hear the voice of God while fasting during Ramadan. As to the mother of all religious organizations, the Catholic Church came up only as the example of an institution that has outlasted the rise and fall of empires and nations and even today seems to enjoy great immunity from legal prosecution (pedophilia crisis, anyone?).
To paraphrase Orlov, if you want the government and your neighbors to leave you alone in the future, especially in America, then start a church. And that's just what the sponsors of the Age of Limits conference did.
Been collapse, done collapse
Anyone whose idea of the end of industrial civilization is The Road — a post-nuclear hellscape where survival depends on canned goods or, failing that, cannibalism — or even a gentler version with plenty of salvage such as The Book of Eli or Mad Max, would've been disappointed to hear that the coming economic and political unraveling is likely to be gradual and hard to assess while it's happening.
Indeed, many people alive today may already be in the midst of industrialism's fall and not even see it.
Greer, author of several books including The Ecotechnic Future and The Wealth of Nature, explained that he relocated a few years ago from Oregon to Cumberland, Maryland (pop. 22,000) because the latter's economy had already collapsed in the mid-seventies, when most of the mill town's factories shut down. So the population has already gotten used to dealing with tough times. And, if it's true that the littler they are the softer they fall, then Greer thought that a small city nestled in the mountains far from any metro area should be as safe a place as any to ride out the coming storm.
Greer encouraged conference attendees to follow his example and "collapse now and beat the rush," making collapse sound more like down-shifting or embracing simple living than prepping for the attack of mutant zombie bikers.
Dmitri Orlov, who wrote about the collapse of the Soviet Union as a model for the unraveling of the American empire in Reinventing Collapse, talked about how rich people are quietly moving out of the U.S. to what they see as safer redoubts abroad as "rats abandoning a sinking ship."
Orlov, who also spoke at the event about his experience of living on a boat full time, encouraged the rest of us to follow the billionaires' example and apply for second passports from countries such as Belize that offer them cheaply. That way, we can still get the hell of Dodge even after fascism descends on Washington and we all end up on the No Fly List.
Yet, Orlov also counseled conference attendees that the riches of the future won't be hoards of gold or even a shed full of well sharpened gardening tools but instead the people you know who can offer you help and protection in the tough years to come.
Forget solar, start gathering tubers
Surprisingly, for a retired actuary living in suburban Atlanta, Tverberg, known for years on the Oil Drum as Gail the Actuary, was perhaps the gloomiest about the future prospects of humanity after oil. Was this because she seemed to lack an interest in religion held by the other speakers?
Tverberg spoke compellingly and without any Tea Party moralizing about how excessive debt will torpedo economic growth. She also argued that no combination of substitutes will be able to power globalized industrialism after the fossil fuels run out. Unfortunately, after making this sensible point, Tverberg could not resist passing along exaggerated attacks on a variety of renewable energy sources. Often heard in the peak oil doomosphere, complete dismissals of solar and wind power as entirely ineffective and unreliable are not supported by the facts.
Photovoltaic panels or micro turbines used in small-scale, distributed applications — that is, ten kilowatts on your home rooftop rather than ten megawatts operated by your electric utility — are especially promising to power a more localized world beyond oil. Based on the experience of my day job as a solar power developer, I tried to point this out to Tverberg. I also tried to correct some of her errors of fact — solar panels need neither a special roof nor lots of maintenance, as she claimed — but she was having none of it.
Perplexingly, Tverberg also claimed that the option of reverting to a farming lifestyle was off the table for future generations because our generation's industrial agriculture has already depleted the world's topsoil beyond repair. She was obviously unimpressed by (or unaware of) the successful efforts of sustainable farming experts like Wes Jackson to restore agricultural lanscapes.
Tverberg concluded that only hunting and gathering would sustainably support humanity in a future beyond oil, making her perhaps the doomiest speaker in a group not known for its vulnerability to rainbows and unicorns.
Time to meet your Baker
Drawing on the wisdom of previous hunter-gatherers around the world, Baker, author of Navigating the Coming Chaos: A Handbook for Inner Transition, led conference attendees in African chants to invoke the aid of male and female energies of the universe. She also explained what traditional rituals to initiate youth into adult life have in common with each other and what they can all teach people today as we make the transition to a very different kind of future after industrialism.
In perhaps the event's only positive nod to the teachings of mainstream organized religion, Baker offered a poem, "Passover Remembered" by Alla Bozarth-Campbell, as advice and inspiration:
Pack nothing. Bring only your determination to serve and your willingness to be free. Don't wait for the bread to rise. Take nourishment for the journey, but eat standing. Be ready to move at a moment's notice. Do not hesitate to leave your old ways behind — fear, silence, submission. Only surrender to the need for the time — love justice and walk humbly with your God. Do not take time to explain to the neighbors.
Orlov and Tverberg were heavy on doom but light on consolation — each making me feel very dejected if somewhat better informed — Greer and Baker offered more answers, whether practical like the appropriate technologies from the 1970s that Greer has collected as "Green Wizardry" or Baker's toolbox of spiritual practices to keep you from slitting your wrists worrying about collapse.
Not just old school, but Old Testament
But the conference's host and his impressive venue were perhaps the highlights of the event for me, offering an tangible example of a way to turn fears of collapse into a plan for survival.
I wasn't able to understand exactly what Orren Whiddon did with computers between the time he read The Limits to Growth in the seventies and when he dropped out of the corporate rat race in the mid-nineties to buy the 180 acres of Allegheny mountain shell flats in an isolated area of south-central Pennsylvania that would become the Four Quarters Interfaith Sanctuary.
A solid man more than six feet tall dressed in jeans held up by leather suspenders and sporting a prophetic beard, Whiddon looks as unlike a corporate vice president from Office Space as you can imagine. These days he's more about low-tech, refusing to open a Facebook account while encouraging Four Quarters visitors to turn off their smart phones and enjoy a technology fast while they're his guests.
Whiddon, who traces his family roots back to Texas in the 1780s, is a practical visionary, but less like Steve Jobs than Moses with a bit of Sam Houston thrown in. Drawing inspiration from the "plain people," Christian Anabaptist groups like the Amish and Old Order Mennonites who consciously decided to drop out of a mainstream society they saw as corrupt, Whiddon has a plan for his self-described "hippie church" to become a force for peak oil resilience in a sea of complacent but doomed consumers.
Just like Jesus Camp but without the Jesus part (or the cultish brainwashing), Four Quarters is in fact registered for tax purposes as a non-profit religious congregation.
Its grounds are an open-air church hosting installations across the usual range of New Age spirituality, from a shrine to Ganesh, to a sweat lodge, to what appears to be a life-sized recreation of a Stonehenge-type druid stone circle. Along with regular services to mark new moons, Beltane and other spiritual days, throughout the camping season the center offers programs such as "SpiralHeart Reclaiming," "The Body Tribal" and "Drum & Splash."
But there's nothing touchy-feely about the way Whiddon and his board of elders runs Four Quarters. Full-time residents are required to live under strict rules, including the merging of their finances, in a lifestyle that Whiddon calls monastic and which requires a commitment to an ascetic counter-cultural lifestyle that hearkens back to Whiddon's other inspirations, the Benedictine brothers and the Buddhist sangha.
Doom with a view
The center's mission, aside from providing support for "Earth-based religions," is similarly straight-edge: to help prepare for the collapse of industrial society by serving as a "lifeboat" for eight or ten residents on site while spreading the gospel of peak oil prep to a larger audience through conferences like this one.
Accordingly, Whiddon has made many plans for the peak-ocalypse, including starting ventures on site that will make money today and may also serve a much lower tech economy in case today's money economy becomes only a memory.
Four Quarters' first business is a winery that produces half a dozen different flavors of mead, a mostly-sweet alcoholic drink made from honey which staff generously served up during evening social events.
The center's second venture, a machine shop outfitted with solid American-made metal presses from the mid-twentieth century, has begun to meet local demand for spare machine parts. Residents have already started on the center's next business, a large greenhouse.
In the future, Whiddon thinks the greenhouse will feed the residents while the other businesses will offer goods for trade. The machine shop could help Four Quarters' mountain neighbors, already well provisioned with firearms, to keep their rifles and shotguns in working order after repair parts stop coming in from Asia. And of course, there's always a market for wine, especially when times are tough.
In a part of the country that hosted the Whiskey Rebellion just after the American Revolution, Whiddon predicts that booze and guns will be a winning strategy for a future economy that could be something like it was in George Washington's day.
Meet me at the river
Even before signups for the event nearly doubled Whiddon's projections and helped the conference to break even financially, Four Quarters had committed to holding two future annual events along the same lines.
Next year's event, Whiddon told me, will focus even more on solutions and practical activities that people can undertake in their own communities to prepare for the changes of the next twenty years.
After taking a dunk in the property's cool running creek between sessions, it came home to me just how much more this conference was about than PowerPoint presentations. I hope I'll be able to make it back next year.See also: Ea O Ka Aina: Limitless Wisdom in he Age of Limits 6/03/12 Ea O Ka Aina: Rumbling of Distant Thunder 5/30/12 Ea O Ka Aina: Sustainable Living as Religion 5/30/12 Ea O Ka Aina: Ponzi's End 5/28/12 .

It's been a spectacular week for the campshaws. Who knew that western South Dakota could be such a fantastic place to camp? It surely was off our radar.
We rolled through Mount Rushmore on a nearly perfect fall afternoon. Bright blue skies, fluttering yellow cottonwoods, and nearly zero traffic. I remember doing the Family Vacation drive-thru in this area when I was about 10 years old. We were probably here for about twenty minutes before jumping back into the station wagon and moving on. This time, John and I had the time and the interest to explore. First up was a Ranger talk at the Sculptor's studio, where we viewed a 1:12 scale model, and learned a bit of the process to create the Monument.Briefly, it took 14 years, with about 40 men at a time (over 400 total) working to finish the job. Note that the model has a much larger view than the finished Monument. By the time the heads were completed, it was October 1941, and WWII was looming. Additional funding from Congress was needed to proceed, and it was determined that the best course of action was to declare the sculpture complete.
At the Visitor Center, the film and exhibits of the creation of Mount Rushmore are well worth whatever time you have to spend. It's an amazing project. One amazing fact we learned was the the sculptor Borglum alone decided on the heads to be featured – the original project was planned to feature heroes of the West, but he felt that broader appeal was necessary to get people to come to remote South Dakota to visit. Can you imagine a project funded with federal money today ceding control to one individual? The Ranger at the Sculptors studio assured us that, no matter what we read on the internet, this project is COMPLETE. No additional heads will ever be added. Sorry, Ronald Regan.We moved on from Mount Rushmore to Custer State Park, where we camped for two nights in one of the nicest State Parks we have ever visited. The heart of Custer SP is its bison herd, which numbers in the hundreds. A brand new Visitor Center opened this year (which rivals many of the National Park Visitor Venters). The video there is superlative – a huge curved screen, gigantic sound, and amazing video quality put you right in the middle of the annual bison round-up. It's spectacular.
One day was spent cycling around the Wildlife Loop Road, where we waited out a large bull bison hanging out near the road. After watching videos of how quickly these 2000 pound animals can move, there was no way we were going to try to cycle past him. We did decide not to pass by this trio of inquisitive wild donkeys, accosting the car ahead. I call this photo Jackass on Bicycle Ecounters Three Donkeys and Car. Honestly, the next day, when we were driving out, we got in a donkey jam. Everyone was out of their cars, feeding apples to the adorable crew. One woman was carrying her yappy dog, and standing outside where the donkeys were nipping at her. That's crazy. They are pretty big. I prefer to look at them from the inside of the truck.The famous Needles Highway was our route out of Custer State Park. Famous for its twisty path through the black granite "needles" of the Black Hills, it features two of the narrowest tunnels I ever hope to pass through. The Eye of the Needle was a mere 8'4″ wide. The second tunnel is a spacious 8'10" wide.
It's a gorgeous drive, with several scenic turnoffs. Naturally, we stopped at them all. Small wonder that it takes us all day to drive 200 miles.National Forest Campgrounds are overall our favorite places to camp. We found a beauty at Sheridan Lake, in the Black Hills National Forest. It's a huge campground, but just one loop of 25 sites or so was open. An enormous site overlooking the lake was ours. Except for the wind rustling through the pines, there was little sound. We hiked, and John found time to use his new fishing pole for the first time (with the purchase of a $16 one-day license). No fish tacos for dinner though – he failed to even get a nibble on the delicious-looking lure at the end of the line. If you're going this way, I would highly recommend this rustic campground – it's a gem.
Our primary reason for choosing this campground near Hill City was that we wanted to visit the Crazy Horse Memorial. Sculptor Korczak Zielkowski had received a letter from Lakota Chief Henry Standing Bear, asking him to come to the Black Hills and carve a mountain, stating "my fellow chiefs and I would like the white man to know the red man has great heroes, also." Work began on the gigantic Crazy Horse Memorial in 1948, and continues to this day. It's hard to describe the scale of this project.
The four heads of Mt. Rushmore would fit neatly into Crazy Horse's flowing hair. Will it ever get completed? Hard to say. With no federal or state monies, the project is funded by donations only. Currently, just fourteen men are working on the mountain. The plans call for Crazy Horse's hair and arm/hand to be completed in the next 15 years. Visit and contribute if you can – it's an inspiring project, continued since the death of Korczak in 1982, by his wife and 5 of his ten children. The Visitor Center, with its 1:34 scale model and American Indian Museum is well worth a few hours of time. I hope to be around in 20 years to come back and check on the progress. As we left, the mountain was lit by a spectacular sunset.Ever heard of Wind Cave National Park? Me, neither, although it's the 7th National Park signed into existence by Teddy Roosevelt. Famous for the unique "boxwork" on the ceiling, it's one of the largest caves in the world – featuring over 125 miles of cave in just a square mile. Interestingly, there are caves on at least three different levels, unconnected from top to bottom. We visited the VC, watched the movie, but elected not to go on a tour. It was late, the last tour of the day was about to start, and we were anxious to get to the campground and strike camp for the night. This crazy little campground had just a few sites, and our fee was just $4.50. It was like camping in a wind tunnel – man did it blow! But, we were treated to the bugleing of elk in the early morning hours (although we didn't see them), and an amazing sunrise. Maybe we'll revisit some day and actually tour the cave as well.
We've moved on to the Badlands, but that's a story of its own. This post has dragged on long enough! We've covered very few miles in a week, but there is so much to explore in this corner of South Dakota. We are pointed toward Michigan, and begin our trek eastward in earnest today.

On Thursday, the Associated Press reported that Russia and China vetoed a United Nations resolution on Syria because they feared NATO would use the move as an excuse to bomb the Middle Eastern country.
Moscow said it opposes any resolution against Syria because of the way the United States, Britain, and France interpreted the resolution against Libya and used it as an excuse to invade the country and depose its leader Gaddafi under the cover of protecting civilians.
NATO exploited language in the resolution that authorized U.N. members to take "all necessary measures … to protect civilians and civilian populated areas under threat of attack" while excluding any "foreign occupation force" in Libyan territory.
Russia, China, India, South Africa and Brazil argue that the Libya resolution did not justify months of air strikes against Gaddafi's regime that killed at least 6,000 civilians. They believe a new resolution might be used in the same way to attack Syria and depose al-Assad.
Despite the wrangling at the United Nations, WorldNetDaily reported on Tuesday that a senior Syrian diplomatic official told the news website NATO troops are training in Turkey for a Turkish-led NATO invasion of Syria.
At the same time, Middle East security officials said Russia has been inspecting Syrian forces and has advising Syria about possible Syrian military responses should NATO attack the regime of al-Assad, according to Aaron Klein.
Russia has sold a large number of Iskander ballistic missiles and the officials said considering the threat of NATO invasion the Russians are looking at selling Syria its advanced S-300 anti-missile system.
Assad, however, is concerned the European Union and the United States may dangle a carrot and dissuade the Russians from supporting Syria. Assad has said if his country is attacked he will set the Middle East on fire.
"If a crazy measure is taken against Damascus, I will need not more than six hours to transfer hundreds of rockets and missiles to the Golan Heights to fire them at Tel Aviv," Assad reportedly said, according to Iran's state-run Fars news agency. Assad made the comments in a meeting with Turkish Foreign Minister Ahmad Davutoglu on Tuesday, according to Ria Novosti.
It is reported Davutoglu relayed a message from NATO and the U.S. that Syria may face an international military campaign if al-Assad does not stop an alleged violent crackdown on an insurgency against his regime.
Assad reportedly warned that he will call on Hezbollah in Lebanon to launch an all-out missile campaign against Israel. He said Iran will attack U.S. ships in the Persian Gulf along with European interests.
WND also reports that Egyptian security officials said Assad instructed the Syrian military to be prepared for an air or ground campaign.

Natasha Hamilton and Ritchie Neville have talked about how excited they are for the arrival of their first baby together.
The new couple, who knew each other from their first shot at fame as members of Atomic Kitten and Five, got together after getting back in touch when they appeared on ITV2's The Big Reunion.
Natasha, already mum to three boys, recently announced she was pregnant and told ITV's Lorraine show: "[Last year] I had a ruptured cyst and lots of pain and complications so the doctor spoke to me and said I may have to have my ovaries removed at some point which was quite a shock.
"In my head, I thought maybe that's why I had children young because in later life I was going to have health issues so it was just not on the radar, we weren't planning a baby and then when Rich was in Austria in January we had a little cuddle..."
Ritchie, who reckoned he had predicted Natasha's pregnancy when he realised she smelled of newborn babies, said of the happy news: "It definitely is a life changer, even just on perspectives on the world and stuff, the world's a different place all of a sudden."
Natasha added that so far she had been feeling quite sick, but said of Ritchie: "It's just beautiful to see how excited he is and we're just really, really happy, we can't wait."
She revealed her plans for after the baby is born and Ritchie is on tour: "I'll tag along and be the groupie!"
Natasha also admitted that despite their romance now, it wasn't love at first sight when their careers began: "We were just friends. We've known each other since I was 16 and he was about 19 or so.
"Back in the day we used to pass each other always at gigs and say 'Hi' and have a little chit-chat but we didn't know much about each other."

It's always amazing to watch military aerobatics teams perform death defying maneuvers with razor sharp precision. But those tight formations are dangerous as hell, so one little mistake can mean disaster.
On March 11, 1988, the Royal Australian Air Force's aerobatics team, the Roulettes, experienced a little hiccup that quickly turned into a full blown emergency while they were practicing for the Canberra Air Show. The pilot of Roulette 1 apparently zigged when he should have zagged, and crashed into Roulette 4 mid-flight.
The crash was hairy, but the hand of fate was kind that day. None of the other planes in the formation were hit by flying parts. Roulette 1's pilot managed a belly landing on a field. Roulette 4 was so badly damaged, its pilot had to eject. But he landed safely, and his plane crashed in a field, missing a farm house by 600 meters. It could have been much worse.
Phew! And the bonus in all of this is that there was a cameraman aboard one of the other planes. So today, we have documentation of what a mid air crash looks like from inside a formation.

I'm working on a cannon that shoots a cannon ball in OpenGL. I get the ball to move in a line but no arc. The ball is suppose to shoot up and come back down. The two formulas I have to use are:Code:void Update(float dt) { Vector3 acceleration; Vector3 Vi, Vf, W; Vi.set(5, 20, 10); Vf.set(400, 200, -900); acceleration.set(0, -32.2, 0); // acceleration (x,y,z)=(0,-2,0) vel = Add(vel, acceleration); //velocity = velocity + acceleration vel.scale(dt); //velocity = velocity +a*dt W = Add(Vf, Vi); //position = position + (1/2)*(v_f +v_i)*dt pos = Add(pos, W); //updates position = position + vel pos.scale(0.5); //This multiplies pos by 0.5, i.e. W = 0.5 * W pos.scale(dt); }
velocity = velocity +a*dt
position = position + (1/2)*(v_f +v_i)*dt
(Note: try not to use 1/2 in C++, but rather use 0.5)
You will use -32.2 for the second component of acceleration.
In my code above I can't figure out why I don't have the ball going in parabolic form. So basically I just need some tips on the position formula. I'm basically confused with the formula and how it's suppose to do the parabolic. It looks like the code has everything in the formula but not sure if I'm taking the correct steps in the formula. If some one could break down the formula step by step that would be awesome!
Do you add the position to (.5) then * (v_f + v_i) * (dt)?

A few posts back, I asked if you could identify the origin of two photos in terms of whether they were film or digital. I guess it was fairly obvious, following the other photos that showed the color saturation of the film, that the last photo was indeed the shot that came from my Nikon F100. Good job, guys!
Right now I can't get enough of film. It borders on an unhealthy obsession. I'm looking forward to satisfying some of those cravings this weekend in San Francisco! By the end of the year, I vow to own my first medium format camera and while I'm fairly certain which it will be, I'm open to tips and suggestions, especially from those of you who have experience with MF.
In other news, I'm incredibly frustrated with the lack of photography opportunities I've had this weekend. Just nothing appealing to me, not very good light, etc. My 365 has taken such a hit this week, I may finally have to put it out of its misery, poor thing!
At least I still have lots of backlogged photos to post...

After testing my game and saving my position In v5, if I then add a new static object or any sort of task I can continue playing from that saved game, the new task will work as it should do and the new object will be present.
I have just tried to do this when testing my v4 game. I was presented with a pop-up error message "This adventure has changed since you saved this game file. Aborting load!". I now have to play the game from the start as there is no option for creating a macro as there is in v5. (another niggle)
I am just SO glad I am using v5 to write my games, I cannot imagine fixing a bug and having to play the game from the very beginning, typing every single command in, each time I made an alteration to my game!
And v4 is supposed to be "faster and easier" than v5? Who are you trying to kid, Mr. Whyld???!!!
Having said that, David, after my experiences using v4, I really do take my hat off to you and anyone else who has written a game using v4!

Late last week, Microsoft put an end to its Office Genuine Advantage (OGA) program. The Office Notifier, the OGA ActiveX control for Internet Explorer, and the OGA plug-in for Firefox have also been retired. The change took place on December 16, was first confirmed in a KB article last updated on December 17, 2010, and found by ZDNet:
The Office Genuine Advantage ("OGA") program has been retired. For more information about the benefits of genuine Office, please visit the following website:
When OGA still existed, it required users to validate their copy of Microsoft Office to download noncritical updates and other downloads such as addons, samples, templates, and so on. Now, users can grab said content without having to perform the extra step, whether they pirated Microsoft Office or not.
It's important to note that OGA is different from product activation. The former is Internet-based and permits users to download files and updates from the Microsoft website while the latter is enforced at the software level and is required to use the actual software. OGA rejects the product keys that have either been widely leaked or which have been generated to pass through the initial activation. OGA covers Office XP, Office 2003, and Office 2007.
OGA has an equivalent on the Windows side: Windows Genuine Advantage (WGA). WGA is required for much more useful downloads than OGA, such as Microsoft Security Essentials (MSE). Redmond has no plans to kill off WGA, at least not at this point in time.
"The Office Genuine Advantage program was designed to notify many customers around the world whether their copy of Microsoft Office was genuine," a Microsoft spokesperson told Ars. "The program has served its purpose and thus we have decided to retire the program. Given our strong commitment to anti-piracy, we are making several new investments that will allow us to engage with customers and help victims of fraud."
The change is a significant one because it implies that OGA was costing Microsoft more money than it was saving the company, suggesting that OGA was largely ineffective in its goal. This is hardly surprising given that the "Advantage" in Office Genuine Advantage was minor: the large majority of Office users can live without extra templates and samples.

I liked Mark McLay and the Dustdevils' latest album, Love and Barbwire, immediately. For one, I've always thought "peace and love" was a bunch of horseshit—love and barbed wire being much more realistic. Two, the album opens with the cheerfully pessimistic, oddly upbeat song "25 Miles of Barbwire," a fitting soundtrack addition for a decent postapocalyptic sci-fi movie with a sense of humor. It's a postapocalypse of the world, or a once-promising but now imploded relationship.
Equal parts Americana, roots and straightforward pop-rock, McLay alternates mournful ballads with clever songs on the lighter side. "Standin' in the Fire" is a standout track, with its minimal lyrics remaining open-ended enough to evoke both the inferno of bad love as well as the events of 9-11. The theme of the album, overall, is love, where it goes right and where it goes wrong. On the album's closing track, "Help Me See," McLay laments: "It's been foggy, it's been thick, real shady and slick . . . / I've been misused, blackened my heart, barbecue." Jaded-sounding keyboards vibrate, female backing vocals echo and concur and lead guitar round out what are essentially late-night acoustic guitar songs composed when it's quiet—and dark—enough to face oneself with complete honesty. McLay performs on July 26 at Studio E.
Drummer Dan Ransford and bassist Eric Straus provide a solid foundation from which to anchor songs about turbulence and storms. The album was recorded at Banquet Studios in Sebastopol, and McLay is known as an energetic live performer who once rocked himself right offstage onto the hard floor. "The Dustdevils have been doing this for 14 years," McLay reports, "and I'm impressed how live music [in the North Bay] perseveres. Places close, but new places open and people keep trying to have live music in their clubs or houses—wherever they can cobble something together."
McLay hails from a farm in eastern Oregon, and his music reflects a rural sensibility, though "everything changed the day I went to a used record store in Boise, Idaho," he says, "and came home with Rocket to Russia by the Ramones." Though his music sounds little like the abrasive punk of the 1970s, there is an honesty and melancholy that still rings true, tinged with hopefulness for something better to come—if even only on a local, interpersonal level, where it indeed may matter most.
Mark McLay and the Dustdevils perform Saturday, July 26, at Studio E in rural Sebastopol. Directions provided with ticket reservation. 8pm. $20. See www.northbaylive.com for details. 707.542.7143.

Miranda Lambert Looks to Fans to Find Homes for Rescue Pups
It would seem to many that Miranda Lambert takes in a new stray dog every week. And perhaps she does. But it's all because the 'Over You' hitmaker has a warm heart for her furry friends and wants to do anything she can to help them. This time, Lambert has adopted six stray puppies, and she turned to her fans to find homes for the sweet litter.
All six of the dogs were dumped at a doggie daycare facility in Oklahoma. Five of the pups are a family of seven-week-old German short-haired pointers, while the sixth addition — which Lambert named Conway — is a nine-month-old black Labrador mix. Never one to leave a pup stranded, Lambert snatched up all six of the tiny, licking faces and asked her fans to give them good homes through the MuttNation Foundation. As of Tuesday afternoon, Lambert was delighted to share that all of the pups had found new families.
If Lambert and her fellow superstar husband Blake Shelton had room for six more 'kids,' they would probably just bring all of the puppies home. However, Mr. and Mrs. Shelton practically have a working farm full of animals at their Oklahoma home. In the past few months alone, the country couple have welcomed new dogs Emmy Lou, Loretta and Batman into their abode — that's not counting the canines, horses, cats and others already in residence!
Lambert's latest act of kindness comes on the heels of the fifth ever Cause for the Paws, a fundraiser she orchestrates each year to benefit her own MuttNation Foundation. This year marked the award-winning singer's fifth annual fundraiser for the organization. The event included live performances by Wade Bowen, Josh Abbott Band and, of course, Lambert herself, in addition to a live auction of one-of-a-kind country music swag.
The 2012 event brought in more than $207,000, bringing the MuttNation Foundation's total fundraising efforts up to $236,797 this year.
It sounds like Lambert won't rest until every dime of that money goes toward building more shelters for stray dogs and teaching other pet owners how to give their animals a loving home.

WOLLMANN, Dewey; STEINER, Maria Teresinha Arns; VIEIRA, Guilherme Ernani e STEINER, Patrícia Arns. Evaluation of health service providers by consumers through the Analytic Hierarchy Process Method. Rev. Saúde Pública [online]. 2012, vol.46, n.5, pp.777-783. ISSN 0034-8910. http://dx.doi.org/10.1590/S0034-89102012000500003.
OBJECTIVE: To assess the quality of services offered by health service providers, according to the perception of consumers. METHODS: A cross-sectional study with 360 consumers from seven health service providers in the metropolitan area of Curitiba, PR, in 2008, was performed. An individual questionnaire measuring the consumers' preferences in relation to six attributes (location of service points; effectiveness of doctors, clinics and hospitals; promptness and kindness when caring for patients and family members; ease of access to the authorization forms for consultations; price; diversity of available doctors, clinics and hospitals) for each one of the analyzed health service providers was carried out. The Analytic Hierarchy Process (AHP), a multiple criteria tool for decision analysis and planning, was used to analyze the responses. RESULTS: The attribute most valued by the consumers was "price". The companies were grouped into two sets, regarding the mentioned attributes: two had lower preference (between 19% and 23%) and five, higher preference (around 10% each). CONCLUSIONS: With this type of research, health service providers could reshape their structures, processes, prices and accredited networks, in order to improve their market strategy.
