I always thought Thinking Machines were supposed to be really great computers. Guess not.
It's a good thing the machines could think, since apparently none of the humans could.
I think the machines were smarter than the people.
So, what's the actual WTF here? That the original contributor went to a research lab and expected the projects to have real world relevance? Or that Thinking Machines was apparently trying to be a genuine commercial company rather than just admitting it was a purely research-driven organisation? Or that the government were dumb enough to fund the organisation? Or that the government were dumb enough to pull the plug rather than continue funding Thinking Machines but making it work on its own projects? Or is this one of those posts that isn't meant to lnclude a WTF, and is just an interesting story from real-world IT (or, in the case of Thinking Machines, theoretical-research-world IT!)?
Whatever it is, it's a nice, if unsurprising, story. I'm ashamed to say that if I'd had that interview, i think I probably would've been a Believer - the chance to work with technology that cool without any real world connections? Show me the money...
(print "Who in their right mind would use LISP?")
So, this is how the Butlerian Jihad started.
None of the above. Clearly, the WTF is the absurd interview procedure.
The fact that the article doesn't give us any of the recipes from the cookbook.

It reminds me of Google interview stories.
Actually, if someone asked me for interview and when I got there I was told that I'd get to spend five days talking to existing developers, eating my lunch in their gourmet restaurant of a canteen each day, I don't think I'd be thinking "WTF?". Although I'll give you that Having to be approved by all the head developers and the CEO to get a job is a bit of an arse...
... and nothing of value was lost.

Well, I should expect some real world relevance in there, else there would be no research labs whatsoever, cause their duty is to research stuff that can be used in 'the real world'.
Furthermore, I would decline, I like cool technology, but playing around with cool stuff gets boring after a while when you don't have any appliance for it.
Picture yourself in a really cool car, a big lambo or something, and you sit there, flashing the lights, honking the horn, perhaps rev up a bit. But then, after 5 minutes or so, you get bored. Without your drivers license it's really no fun at all.
At first I thought that someone really had an ax to grind with the CEO. Then I found this article:
-- http://www.inc.com/magazine/19950915/2622_pagen_5.html
About 20 years ago, I interviewed at ATT/Bell Labs. It involved meeting 16 groups in 3 locations over 2 days; 1 hour with each group. In each group, you'd meet four people for 15 minutes each. Every single person spent the first 13 minutes asking you to essentially verify everything on your resume, and virtually no time seeing if you actually knew anything, and the remaining few seconds walking you to the next office.
By the end of the second day, I had repeated my life story 64 times and just didn't give a flying f--- any more.
After all of that, HR asks you which of the 16 positions you want. Then you go home, and they see which, if any, of the 16 groups would like to hire you.
If the job you picked was offered, you're in. If you didn't pick one of the jobs that were offered (eg: if you picked # 1 (not offered) but 2-15 were offered), you're out.
Somehow, I think I dodged a bullet on that one...
This would be a massively-parallel interview process, no?
Reminds me of the saga of Systems Concepts and the Mars project, as told in the Jargon File:
Particularly the epilogue: If you want to play in the Real World, learn Real World moves.

only if they were interviewing 25 candidates at once.
As it reads, this would be a extensively thorough, serial interview process.
I'd be interested to know the motivations of the developers, if it wasn't for Science or Business. Maybe it's for religious reasons, or for candy.

Beat me to it. As it is, this sounds more like a cult-of-groupthink recruitment and less like a job hire. The Bell Labs one, a few comments back, sounds like an actual job hiring system with a terribly cargo-cult interview process.
Re: Thinking Machines
2008-05-13 11:43 • by Ozz (unregistered)
But that's when the fun REALLY starts. Without your drivers license you have nothing to lose #;-D
1. Forgot to log in.
2. I meant that the WTF sounds like a cult-of-groupthink recruitment, not the GP comment.
Sounds more like they're running a cult than a computer company.
I've worked at startups where everybody wants to interview everybody, and where there isn't a very good business plan, but when the primary focus of the interview is to impress the candidate with existing products instead of trying to determine if he has useful skills, then something very screwy is obviously going on.
Of course, given the fact that the CEO was a paranoid lunatic (and probably in need of psychiatric treatment), this doesn't surprise me much.
Except that Thinking Machines really wasn't a research lab-- it was a real company laughingly trying to make money while everyone treated it like a university research lab. Sure, I'd jump at an opportunity like that too, but it sounds like the well dried up pretty quickly for them. So in retrospect, fleeing was a good move for Andrew G.
But I agree that the real wtf was the interview process. How did they ever manage to hire anyone?
I just had a funny mental image of a bunch of inept goof-offs sadly unplugging a self-aware super computer "when the bubble burst". "Sorry CONMACH, we have to put you down"
I was involved in some theoretical physics research at the time.
We could have really made use of some hardware from Thinking Machines but could never get the funding to afford it.
Some labs have the duty of satisfying our curiosity (which only kills the cat if you're curious enough to open the box.) The fact that they happen to invent useful things along the way is a bonus. It's called basic research. Of course, you need money from Daddy, and it's nice if your daddy isn't a military agency.
Some people would find it fun to whiz around a race track really really fast (but much slower than the speed of light) and winning trophies, even if they were prohibited from using the car to actually get anywhere.
Who on earth would go back for a second day of interviews upon learning about their hiring process? Did anyone actually get hired at this company?

I had an interview with UPS a year ago. I had applied for an IT position. I talked to about 3 people for 30 mins each, the first 2 people seemed flustered when I went on about my experience with computers and programming, etc, but didn't say anything about why. The last interviewer was nice enough to stop me and tell me that they were looking to fill a management position. I BS'd that software engineering skills can apply to management, but I was happy to leave that interview. What can brown do for you? Well, they can't match up resumes to positions.
Being at a school in the Boston/Cambridge area, I can add that a Thinking Machine was a large black cube covered with red blinky lights/LEDs evenly spread over each of the four sides. It was an nice thing to look at. About 8 x 8 x 8 feet square. The front-end machines on the one I knew of were a Sun Microsystems 4/280 running Sun/OS and some DEC model running Ultrix. Both were in standard 19-inch racks. Biology related scientists used it.
Most of the time it's DoD-dy who's paying.
Thinking Machines got LISP right
2008-05-13 11:57 • by Andrew (unregistered)
LISP can be executed in parallel very easily. There are often independent sub-expressions to hand-off to separate processors.
For example, an AI "knowledge tree" (written in LISP or Prolog) spans several competing goals. The "first goal" is (probably) the simplest computation. A parallel system can try each goal simutaneously, and return the first goal to succeed.
The vector "dot product" is another good parallel example. For vectors a & b, a "dot" b = SUM(a[k]*b[k]). Each product term can happen at the same time.
a = (1 4)
b = (2 5)
Of course, modern Fortan has the "dot product" vector function built-in. On multi-core hardware, Fortan should run in parallel with no code changes.
It is my understanding that, as part of the agreement, the administration sold off the assets to recoup a portion of the losses. Those same hardware assets later resurfaced and are now sold under the new "eMachines" brand name. Brilliant!

I guess that depends on how badly you want to work on one of the coolest pieces of computing hardware in the world at that time. If it's your dream job to crank out business logic, then no, you probably wouldn't go back for the second day.
Actually it would be more like driving a Lambo around on a race track all day long, going as fast as you want and driving however you want to. Except the chicks couldn't see you. No, the chicks could not see.

Massively-Serial. They were held one at a time, one on one.
Okay, a lot of that interview story was pretty boguscomputing. The interviewee probably was lucky that he didn't get the job. He definitely would have been a square peg in the canonical round hole.
I'd've dug working there immensely. My recollection of the mid to late 1980s was that it was an exciting time to be in computing.
People were trying new things, often totally off the wall, wacky things, with respect to architecture and (gasp!!) operating systems (anyone remember Very Long Instruction Word architectures?).
A lot of it didn't work, didn't work well, or solved non-existent problems, but still, it was a whole load of fun to get to play in and with all sorts of bizarre environments.
I worked briefly at NASA Ames Research Center where we had a 8K node CM-1 and I know that some interesting and perhaps useful work was done on it. I recall attending a two-day conference on the CM where all sorts of applications, both computer science theoretical and real world, were discussed.
Yes, the CM-1 was rather limited in the languages you could use (I believe that in addition to *Lisp or "StarLisp", there might have been an experimental C language -- I seem to recall talking to someone about it from TMC) but it was a visionary architecture and the contortions one would have to go through to map FORTRAN onto it would have been remarkable.
The later systems, starting with the CM-2, by the way, did have floating point units, though they were Weitek "strap ons".
I'm only sorry that I didn't get to play more on the machine than the brief introduction I had.
Beats the hell out of the Windows/*NIX/Mac world in which we're living today.
If my memory is correct, the CM-5 could most certainly run FORTRAN programs. The only other language I remember was C* (C-star) which was like a parallel version of C.
So did they actually tell the candidate before hand that the interview process would (or at least could) last 2 days? The article seemed to suggest that they hadn't. What if you had something else to do the next day?
"Oh we'd like you to come back tomorrow for more interviews"
"Sorry I can't, it's my mothers funeral"
Very inconsiderate.
Re: Thinking Machines
2008-05-13 12:39 • by Chris (unregistered)
Yes, there was a C dialect that ran on the CM's - C*. I've worked with the team that developed it, and its actually an interesting, if cumbersome way of dealing with the matrix computing problem.
In grad school, I took a parallel programming course
where we used a Thinking Machines CM2. My course
project was written in C*.
I used one of their visualization packages to display
results and, as I recall, I found a bug in the
line-drawing primitive (or something like it).
-- Paul
I was a system operator at a site that had a Thinking Machines CM-2 followed by a large CM-5.
These systems did not have any interactive login nodes. So, you had to submit jobs to it using HP 9000 HP-UX hosts as a front end. (Neat mice had two wheels under them instead of a ball or laser.)
The CM-5 had 896 air-cooled Sparc CPUs inside, partitioned into 4 system images. Each image would run a single job at a time. So the job submitter had to decide whether they needed 64, 256 or 512 CPUs for their MPP program.
The heat sinks on each CPU were fanless and cylinder shaped, each fin being a disc above the other. There were large fans at the top of the cabinets. There were 7 cabinets in all, each 7 feet tall, arranged in a zigzag pattern in groups of 4 and 3 with a data bridge connecting them at the top.
I would walk between the cabinets with the data center lights off. At the time it felt very ST:NG. The fan hum and thousands of blinken-lights made it a very cool experience. The lights were connected to the system boards and effectively showed activity. They also showed status codes when the system was in diagnostic mode. Mostly, they were there to look cool.
The system was owned by a Darpa organization and eventually replaced by a Cray T3E. It stayed busy with a good sized research staff feeding it long running jobs every day. We had 3 full time Thinking Machines engineers on site to keep it running. They performed hardware fixes, software upgrades and provided system support services.
After the company folded, the CM-5 engineers became employees of a new company that took over the TMC support contracts. It was a sad day when we finally turned the system off. The floor space remained open for many years, but not in memorium. All of our new, larger Cray systems were liquid cooled and therefore took less space.
And hey, what's wrong with Lisp?
Re: Thinking Machines
2008-05-13 12:47 • by CoderDevo (unregistered)
Jim is right. It was not an HP front end, it had a Digital (DEC) front end Unix system running DG-UX. Jim's physical description was of the older CM-2 hardware, which was a black cube.
I've always enjoyed reading stories about Thinking Machines (and btw, Fortran would be a pretty bloody stupid choice for a machine targeted at the AI market. And every dialect of Lisp is "specialized." At least it wasn't Prolog).
The interesting thing about Shirley, to me, is not that she might have been a hopelessly incompetent and under-qualified and paranoid lunatic -- note to any lawyers out there: I said might have been -- but that the DoD went ahead and splurged tens of millions anyway.
Does this reflect even more poorly on the competition?
Does it mean that the DoD only funds gibbering inadequates?
How palpably insane do you have to be in order for the DoD to turn your application down? Would you have to pull a gun on ... no, wait a minute, that would be an instant "Funding approved," wouldn't it?

The White House on Thursday accused former President Bill Clinton and his wife, Sen. Hillary Clinton, of hypocrisy for criticizing President George W. Bush's decision to spare ex-aide Lewis "Scooter" Libby from prison.
The administration is on the defensive after Bush commuted Libby's 2-1/2-year sentence in a CIA leak case. It took aim at Clinton for granting 140 pardons, including one for fugitive financier Marc Rich, in the last hours of his presidency.
"The hypocrisy demonstrated by Democratic leaders on this issue is rather startling," White House spokesman Scott Stanzel told reporters.
Bush's decision on Monday was widely seen as an attempt to shore up support among fellow conservatives increasingly skeptical of his Iraq war policy and resisting his domestic agenda in his final 19 months in office.
Libby was saved from jail for his conviction in March on charges of lying and obstruction of justice in an investigation into who leaked the identity of a CIA officer, Valerie Plame. Plame's husband, former Ambassador Joseph Wilson, had accused the Bush administration of twisting intelligence to justify the Iraq war.
Clinton, in Iowa to promote his wife's presidential candidacy, told a radio station on Tuesday that the prevailing view in Bush's administration is "they should be able to do what they want to do, and that the law is a minor obstacle."
Clinton also drew a distinction with his own controversial pardons, saying, "I think the facts were different."
Hillary Clinton said in a speech that Bush administration had "elevated cronyism over the rule of law."
Bush said he concluded that the sentence given to Libby, Vice President Dick Cheney's former chief of staff, was too severe.
Bush left intact a $250,000 fine and two-year probation for Libby but fueled further Democratic anger by refusing to rule out a full pardon for Libby. Libby paid the fine on Thursday with a cashier's check, according to court records.
"When you think about the previous administration and the 11th hour fire-sale pardons and issues that were provided, commutations on the last day … it's really startling that they have the gall to criticize what we believe is a very considered, a very deliberate approach to a very unique case," Stanzel said.
Asked if he was accusing the Clintons of hypocrisy, he said: "It is amazing to me that they can, with what they did on January 20, 2001, they can criticize the president for issuing a commutation … It sort of pales in comparison."
Analogies have also been made to pardons issued by Bush's father, then-President George Bush, in 1992 to key figures in the Iran-contra scandal.
One Response to "Playing the blame game on pardons"
I get the biggest kick out of the oft-stated maxim to the effect that, "the White House is on the defensive," in one or another. Why is it so difficult for many to realize that the Cheney/Bush cabal just does not care anymore – if, indeed, it ever did – what anyone thinks. They know they have the ever-buffering 30 percenters to cushion even the worst imaginable crime spree from any retribution at all, and they care not what suffering it puts the nation, the Republican party or the Democratic party through in the process.
They have another 500-plus days to extract whatever booty they are able to plunder, and they mean to do it, all while we tut-tutters sit at our computer desks pissing and moaning about our "rights."
I think the time has arrived when we have to admit that we are all complicit in one way or another.
Hey, how about a few months at a nice Club Med? Then, we can return and see which party was willing to corrupt itself to whatever degree necessary to gain the reins of power. Anyone?

The pool was very nice, but could stay open alittle later. Location was good.
Not easy access to our room.. Need stairs or elevator on other side of hotel
very cute decor and close to beach. we also enjoyed the barbecue facilities. the pool was nice too.
Would liked to have another fan to move the air into the bed room.
Staff was helpful and the boardwalk was only a block from the hotel.
Had a room that slept 6 and it was a rather small area for that many people. Parking was very tight.
Location was close to the beach.
The room given was horribly old fashion and depressing. Patched up holes on the walls. Dark and gloomy. Damp feeling. Lighting was bad, bulbs were missing. Food on the kitchen floor. Used Qtip on bedroom floor. Shower so small that not even my 10yr old could fit. Had to step out just to soap up. This stay was for my 10yr old's bday. Even she was disappointed. My husband and teenager wanted to stay out all day to avoid the room. We got the Bates Motel at a Meriot Price. Worst place we've stayed at but it WONT happen again.
Location kitchen could not hear other guests through the walls. Very Clean
didn't care for mattress on pull out bed. Would have liked housekeeping to vacuum better sand was everywhere!!
I stayed in a queen room with a kitchenette it was very well equipped and clean. Definitely 4 stars
WiFi did not work for us in the room....very slow and in and out, it only worked outside. Also I was going to cook on the pool grills but I couldn't light the 1 and they were both dirty with dirty utensils hanging from them so I chose to cook inside instead.
Parking...the last night we had to ask where to park..no spaces Couch horrible shape time for the dump. The bed did not get made Asked for hangers since only 4 in the room ..we never got them. Asked for an ice bucket and was given a trash liner. Was not told ahead of time that we would be given...I am sure the price was included in the room...a beach badge...we bought it....and the women just looked at us....no apology nothing....
Office staff were very helpful and friendly
Furnishing and fixtures (kitchenette supplies, etc.) were deficient
Room was cute, well furnished, mostly modern. Pool rules said no swming after 6, but we went in and did not get in trouble. They let me leave my car there after we checked out so we could go to the beach for a couple hours.
Room was small, two block walk to the beach, the section of beach is very rocky, so limited swimming area when ride is up.
Heated pool, friendly staff, awesome location, great value
Close to beach, heated outdoor pool, clean, friendly staff
Could have had a bit more counter space in the kitchenette
Nice pool plus air-conditioned rooms.
Rooms with almost no amenities, such as tissues, hair drier, very few lamps, and packets of poor coffee.
convenient to beach
no good space to hang wet clothes. top bed sheets were clean but "bed bug covers" over box spring were disgustingly dirty and stained.
Location was great to boardwalk/beach, shops, restaurants Staff was very friendly and accommodating. We were able to add a night to our stay and the front desk was very helpful with that. Room layout was great for our family. Pool was nice feature which we were able to get great use out of.
Could have used a couple more chairs outside in front of the room so, we could sit outside.
We loved this location because we were so close to the boardwalk. Our rooms gave us ample space and the owner even gave us a free upgrade because he thought we'd be more comfortable in a larger unit than the one we first selected. Now that is customer service.
We would have loved it if the pool opened earlier!
The location to boardwalk and beach is very nice and quite close. Staff was very nice and allowed us to keep our beach tags and car parked a little longer than the usual check-out time. Cleaning staff was also very nice. Didn't use pool, but it looked refreshing. Would stay again if in a different, more up-graded room.
Room 40 is less than desirable -- but other rooms are supposed to be much nicer since they are individually owned. Beds were comfortable, but decor was very dated and the overall room impression was poor. Room was small and the kitchenette was sufficient, but you wouldn't want to cook anything more than soup because there is just no space. Bathroom was clean, but the shower was dark -- no light in there. Make sure to call and ask what room you are in and go on the website and look at the rooms -- pictures are probably spot on. The staff know this particular room is not as nice and have tried to make it better, but it is acceptable ONLY if you want a place to sleep and a quick shower.
It was very clean and comfortable and convenient to the boardwalk. We were only there one night but will definately go back.
No closets.....popcorn in the bed....a pair of shorts under the bed....half empty water bottle on the window sill.....and two nights in a row came back to the room smelling of skunk weed!!! This place was such a disappointment....staff was told...but didn't care....nothing was offered...of course no discount....don't stay here!!!!!
the gentleman who took our reservation was very pleasant and accommodating.
the air conditioning window unit had been replaced and the old broken one was still in the closet. the fridge had been replaced and the old broken one was still in the room. the pot and pans were heavily scratched teflon and unusable. we ended up spending as little lime in the room as possible and never cooked there, despite our intent to cook most meals in the room. the kitchen, aside from the fridge was useless. we were nervous about the smoke detector, which was hanging off of the wall.
Staff very, very helpful with everything. Liked the tile floors.
No place to put everyones clothes (4)
The set-up of our room was perfect for a family with two teens. The location was great as well. Also, since we were staying early in the season, we got the benefit of all the cleaning & "sprucing up" that took place over the winter months.
We were only given 2 beach tags for a family of 4. When we arrived, 5 light bulbs were burned out and we had to replace them.
Leaving was the best part.
Not enough parking spaces for number of rooms. Tiny, cramped room. Not enough lighting in room. TV in unwatchable location. No drawers or place to hang clothes. They have a stove but no table to eat on. (makes no sense)Loud "Philadelphia" guests partying in the pool WAY past the time pool was supposed to close. Old paint cans and other debris in plain view on first floor. The whole place is generally dirty and an eye sore. I will never stay here again and would recommend anyone thinking of staying here to check it out carefully before reserving a room.
The location was pretty good (on a few blocks from the boardwalk) and the pool was a nice extra. The rooms and furniture were old but clean.
Beds were not very comfortable; linens and towels were low quality. Could hear all outside noises including rowdy neighbors through the walls even with air conditioning on.
Well equipped for our purpose.
No carpet near bed.

Arms isn't getting any love. It's like a really good looking girl having an average looking sister. The more attractive one then gets the crap beat out of her, and now looks horrible (stand against domestic abuse!). The average sister now looks better than her formerly attractive sister, but still looks the same. Either way, when given a choice you should choose whoever you like the best.

text: Apr 2 - Screenprinting project mock-up. Early flag of the Katipunan. via Wikipedia: "The Katipunan was a Philippine revolutionary society founded by anti-Spanish Filipinos in Manila in 1892, whose primary aim was to gain independence from Spain through revolution. The society was initiated by Filipino patriots Andrés Bonifacio, Teodoro Plata, Ladislao Diwa, and others on the night of July 7, when Filipino writer José Rizal was to be banished to Dapitan. Initially, the Katipunan was a secret organization until its discovery in 1896 that led to the outbreak of the Philippine Revolution. The word "katipunan," literally means 'association,' comes from the root word "tipon," a Tagalog word meaning "gather together" or "society." Its official revolutionary name is Kataas-taasan, Kagalang-galangang Katipunan ng̃ mg̃á Anak ng̃ Bayan (English: Highest and Most Honorable Society of the Children of the Nation, Spanish: Suprema y Venerable Asociación de los Hijos del Pueblo). The Katipunan is also known by its acronym, K.K.K." Meta: #katipunan #philippines #filipino #kkk #independence #knowyourroots #katipuneros #pnoy apparel #pnoyapp « »

Perfume and cologne are some of those little pleasures in life that can give you an instant pick-me-up when you are having a bad day. A spritz of your favourite scent can really make all the difference to your mood.
Retail Digital originally set out to find the finest fragrances on the market. In our quest to bring you the best we have been inspired and in some cases disgusted and disturbed by some of the creations that we have found. From bacon-scented cologne to perfumes inspired by semen and blood, we take a look at some of the weirdest scents on the market to avoid.
Eau de nasty - Lady Gaga
It looks like Lady Gaga has poured blood, sweat and semen into her new signature scent...quite literally. The wacky singer, who famously wore a dress made from meat to the MTV awards, wants her debut scent to include a distinctive array of bodily fluids. "[Blood and semen] is in the perfume but it doesn't smell like that – you just get the after feeling of sex from the semen and the blood is primal," she said. Surprisingly Gaga is not the first to use semen as an inspiration for perfume.
The blood in the perfume, which has not been officially named, has actually been derived from Lady Gaga herself. "It was taken out of my own blood sample so it's a sense of having me on your skin," she added. When asked what the perfume would smell like Gaga answered, "an expensive hooker".
Does Marks and Spencer need a makeover?
Mobile Shopping: Hottest trend of the decade
Homeshop18 launches its next generation e-commerce portal
Americans didn't stop splurging after the holidays
British artist, Jammie Nicholas, has released a 'perfume' made from his own excrement. The scent, which is called Surplus and carries the tagline 'Made from the excesses of the body' retails at £40. "I was reading a book by the French writer Dominique Laporte called The History Of Shit, which analyses the theoretical and social implications of faeces, and its role as a building material for cosmetics," says Nicholas. "It suggested that pleasant smells were used to cover bad smells, so it could be suggested that a bad smell could be used to cover pleasant smells." Lovely!
Bacon Cologne – Fargginay
Fargginay have released a perfume/cologne that smells of bacon. Bacon Cologne (pronounced ba-cone) is an amalgamation of 11 essential oils, flowers, herbs and the essence of bacon. Bacon is definitely one of those Sunday morning guilty pleasures but Retail Digital remains convinced that even the most avid carnivore will not be in a hurry to douse themselves in the scent of pig.
Paper Passion – Karl Lagerfeld
Do you love the smell of a new book? If you do, you are in good company as Karl Lagerfeld is set to release a perfume which is inspired by the smell of ink and paper. An avid reader, Karl Lagerfeld allegedly owns a book collection of over 300,000 books in his impressive personal library. He has teamed up with the company that publishes his photography books, Steidl, and German perfumer Geza Schön for his Paper Passion fragrance.
La Brew – Tetley
Tea giant Tetley is set to launch a tea-scented perfume called La Brew after research found tea to be one of the UK's favourite scents. The new perfume will be fronted by Tetley's Tea Folk, Tina, who will be pictured dressed as Marilyn Monroe wearing a white skirt blowing around her waist.

It is interesting when you mentioned Holly trying to convince Kelly to stay, man they had more rice, a tarp, what was missing, oh yes it was Brenda. That is why she went, fair enough the elements played a huge part, but ultimately I believe it was no Brenda and Sash was now vunerable.
As for Na Onka, just add this to a collection of stupid, selfish, dumb-ass moves. Naturally I agree they should have boarded a plane immediately and joined the pre merge castaways.
I do give Holly lots of credit for standing up and make life a little bit better at camp.

You are not alone in your feelings on this weeks' episode. Speechless is definitely how I was after the episode and I feel Nay quit because she didn't want to face her actions for voting out Brenda if she made it to the end of the game. Na needed to feel good about herself, and that was her out. I say we fans should send bottles of sand to CBS casting for continuing to let us down by picking recruits who don't have any drive to go for the million dollars. Blasphemy!
Thanks Brenda, and I endorse Holly Hoffman as well for the 100K!Troyhttp://email@example.com

FYI, I built a new machine using an i7 4770 and a mobo with vga, hdmi, displayport, and dvi. I just received my third monitor today, a Dell 2412M, and plugged it in via displayport. The other two monitors are 23" 1080p monitors.
I'm running Mint 15 x64 with Cinnamon, and version 3.9x of the kernel. It "just worked". It picked up the monitor immediately, and now I have a desktop that spans all three displays. I was even able to rotate the display on the Dell to run in Portrait.
I then popped in a live cd of Mint 15 x64 KDE, and it worked just as well. From what I recall, that ships with kernel 3.8.
So, with Haswell, as long as you are running one display on Displayport, the newer kernels will work with three displays. I didn't try any of the effects in KDE (wobbly windows, etc), but everything functions as you would expect.
I will say that there is a little (almost imperceptible) input lag when typing quickly in a text editor (Eclipse java development, for example) in Cinnamon. Response was a tad crisper (though it could have been my imagination) in KDE.
Anyway, I wanted to share. I have been waiting on one of the review sites to specifically review the three-display functionality of Haswell before I purchased a third monitor. I got tired of waiting. I'm glad that was the case - this third monitor will be a boon to my productivity.

North Carolina police say three people are dead and two others injured after a car overturned and burst into flames. Lexington Police say officers were on their way to an alarm call early Sunday when they found the 4-door 2007 Chrysler Sebring ablaze. Police earlier mistakenly described the vehicle as a van. Three people were dead at the scene before 4 a.m. They haven't been named while officials try to determine their identities and relatives are notified. Rescue workers took 23-year-old Donchristopher Roach and 28-year-old Kim Davis to Thomasville Medical Center for treatment. The hospital didn't list either of the Lexington residents as patients Sunday afternoon. Police say the investigation is continuing.

Get me closer (to God)7 Reviews
Gerard didn't believe in salvation when he was thirteen, but then he was saved. No one else would have seen it that way, but the darkness that swallowed him opened up to a new kind of light and sal...
A rush of blood to the head made the room spin sickeningly fast. A stinging pain like flames licking at his skin. Electricity sparking through veins and a tightening in his stomach that was far too familiar – far too soon.
Not yet. Please not yet.
His body was too hot, the room too cold, the air was stale and his lungs wouldn't fill. Crushing weight, slick skin, wet tongue, biting teeth and a metallic taste in his mouth.
Hold on... Not yet... One more second...
His heart beat a frantic rhythm against his ribs badumbadumbadumbadumbadum, making his chest ache, his blood soar, hot, wet trails over pale flesh, weeping like tear drops from neat cuts.
So good... so terribly good.
His wrists burned, his hair stuck to his face, there was copper in his mouth and salt on his lips. Wet and warm and delicious. The point of a pink tongue lapping up the two flavours.
Bitter, sweet, tasty... Don't stop. Don't ever stop.
There was a pressure, a tension. A coiled spring in his stomach, a pressing of invisible hands in the too thick air. Everything was vibrating – a low, steady thrum through his insides, a rapid pulsating over his skin, the air charged with electricity shuddering so fast it was past the status of vibration, more of a high pitched whine. So good... so bad. Couldn't breathe.
Can't hold it... C – Can't...
The pressure was getting more intense. G – force on a rapid, sharp turn. The stagnant air pressing around him, pressing and pressing and pressing, a coffin, a cocoon, a blanket pulled tight around his body, crushing. Blinding. Making his body tense and curl inward and then -
Everything exploded. The spring released and shot upwards, his back arched into a perfect curve. Nails scratched, toes curled, the electricity sent fireworks through his abdomen and the air rushed back into his lungs in one massive inhale.
Hot, sticky, boneless. An echo of the vibrations singing inside him, fading away to a golden glow. A convulsion, a shaking reduced to trembling, a roaring in his ears and a twitch in his veins. His chest aching from a sudden expansion from much needed oxygen, his hearts frantic race calming to a run, a jog, a steady walk. Badumbadumbadum badum badum badum. Badum. Badum. Badum. Weightless, sucked down by gravity, by thick metal chains – invisible, but he felt them. Inside and out. On his wrists, ankles, waist, heart.
It was terrible, so tragically good in its disgusting grip. He was its slave, its submissive follower, he was its human form. He hated and craved it and it was all he could ever truly love and need.
"Such a pretty boy you are... so vile, so splendid. Here now – kiss me once before you sleep."
A press of lips, an exchange of copper and salt, a hungry tongue flicking over the salt droplets on his cheeks and the boy was asleep.
So vile.. So splendid.
A/N: Just a wicked little taste for you all to decide whether you wish to proceed ;] So, deciding to post this was a pretty spontaneous decision (and that usually leads to me never adding to these things -_-) so I'm not sure where I'm taking this or any plan at all really except it's going to be like... a sort of chaptered story based around Rituals – my one shot I wrote a month or two back. In case you haven't read that then I guess I should just mention this story is going to be fairly dark, with lots of sex, satanic cults, and probably writing that makes no sense. But hey, it's an experiment :] Review to let me know if this little droplet of what's to come makes you want me to add to this, and I shall dutifully do so XD I will of course still be adding to She will love you frequently, this is just going to be a fun way for me to write something a little darker than the more cutesy stuff of She will love you.
Anywho, enough of my long authors note – RATE, REVEIW – Show me the love folks and you won't be left unrewarded. ;]

Spring, spring! Though the recent snowfall was momentarily lovely, this is a city made for flowers and lazy strolls by the river. Somewhere around the end of June (just in time for the Encaenia procession) is when the place is at its best.

It was so cold on Dec 19, that our first stop was Debenham's to buy an extra layer! But the city charms even in the cold - and provides excuses for stopping at "Full English" and "Cream Tea" signs. We knew this was our only chance to visit - so we say "Go whenever you can" and enjoy the scenery and experiences unique to that season.

HODGENVILLE, Ky. (WDRB) -- The mayor and city clerk of Hodgenville turned themselves in Tuesday, after being indicted on dozens of felony charges.
Mayor Terry Cruse was charged with 14 felonies Monday, stemming from alleged misuse of city funds.
City Clerk Madonna Hornback was charged with 55 felonies.
Cruse faces nine counts of abusing public trust, one count of theft, two counts of campaign contribution restrictions/expenditures limits, and one count of forgery in the second degree.
Hornback is facing 54 counts of abusing public trust, and one count of theft.
The pair turned themselves in around 8 a.m. Tuesday. They both posted $9,500 bail and were released.
Both Hornback and Cruse were at work Tuesday afternoon. Cruse spoke with WDRB's Courtney Godfrey, saying he was still meeting with attorneys and sorting through what exactly he is charged with.
"Obviously yesterday was a long day for us," said Cruse. "I am at this point with my attorney looking over the allegations. Other than that, I really don't have anything to say."
When we asked Cruse if he used city gas cards to fill-up a personal car, he had no response. "I can't comment on that until tomorrow," he said.
City council member Jim Phelps says although he wants to reserve judgment, he was shocked by the news.
"It's going to be hard to explain," said Phelps. But until there is a conviction, he says, it will be business as usual at city hall. "They haven't been proven guilty yet, so we have to give them the benefit of the doubt until we see the evidence."
Cruse is also facing charges having to do with the alleged improper reporting or mishandling of donations to his 2010 run for LaRue County Sheriff.
Mayor Cruse says he'll release a statement Wednesday, but he told our cameras that the charges don't tell the whole story.
"A grand jury is one sided, it's a one sided story," said Cruse.
Hornback declined comment.

Reader Comments (Page 1 of 1)
I DPS with my DK, and I've actually gotten comments about my use of Death Grip. Specifically, "Wow . . . a DK who uses it intelligently? Good show." I only use it if there's an add sitting outside the range and the tank can't get him over. Sometimes strangulate won't cut it, since the silence is so short.
My only problem using Death Grip is the premise of the article: Tanks are control freaks. I can't disagree, my main is a tankadin. Sometimes I'll try to pull that stray mob over to the group so the tank can get him, only to do it simultaneously with the tank dragging the mob over to where the stray used to be. It's a toss-up.

Jail Commander Nathan Simpson surrendered to police Saturday afternoon. He is now out of jail on bond.
Simpson was indicted Thursday night, along with Harrison County Sheriff Mike Deatrick.
Deatrick is also out of jail on bond, charged with fondling two former employees, threatening them at gunpoint and trying to hide evidence of the alleged crimes.
Simpson is charged with obstruction of justice and false informing.
Deatrick will be back on the job Monday. Under Indiana state law, he does not have to step down.
He would have to be convicted of a felony to be forcibly removed as sheriff.

By Jae-Ha Kim, Tribune Media Services
Celebrity Travel by Jae-Ha Kim
9:30 AM EDT, September 30, 2013
A bronze medalist at the 2008 Olympics, swimmer Kim Vandenberg is hoping to be part of the United States contingent that will compete at the 2012 Olympic Games in London this summer. "You never know what can happen at the Olympic Trials," says the 28-year-old Californian. "I'm more experienced than the last time and I feel well prepared. There's definitely some nervousness when you compete, but since this is my second time trying to make the Olympic team, I know what to expect in terms of emotional requirements at trials. I'm looking forward to it and try to take things one day at a time."
Q. What is your favorite international city?
A. I love Barcelona. I fell in love with the city and tried to talk a coach into letting me live there! There's so much going on and there's a really big international scene. It's easy to get around and I enjoyed walking everywhere to get to restaurants and other fun places. We were swimming outdoors, which I prefer. I remember I was there in the late spring, so it was pretty warm already. Going for runs, playing tennis and staying active made it really easy to stay fit. The energy was really nice.
Q. What was the first trip you took as a child?
A. My dad was born in Holland and was raised there, so we still have a lot of cousins and relatives there. When I was little, maybe eight years old, we went to Europe to see family. I have memories of going to France when I was little and eating escargot and road-tripping to see the Eiffel Tower. Back then, I didn't appreciate the fact that we were getting exposed to the world. But I was noticing the difference in foods and languages.
Q. Is it still fun for you to pack up a suitcase and head to somewhere new?
A. I love it. I don't love the actual waiting and the airport and flying for 15 hours part. But I love being at a new destination halfway across the world. I love trying the new food and hearing stories from locals about what should be seen.
Q. Are you a fan of street carts?
A. I don't eat off of street carts. But I will try just about anything else. Sometimes it's pretty tame, like eating sausage and pretzels dipped in delicious mustard in Germany. I love that. I do really like being aware of where food's coming from. After a competition, I'll indulge in a nice meal that I wouldn't necessarily eat when I'm training.
Q. Do you have a difficult time finding the right type of food to eat when you're in a foreign country for a competition?
A. Not usually. I eat the basics, like pasta and veggies. I have to make sure I'm getting enough carbs and proteins. Those are pretty basic needs. But I'm pretty low maintenance.
Q. What foreign languages do you speak?
A. I speak conversational French, and I studied Spanish so I can get along with that.
Q. Have you ever dealt with a culture clash?
A. Not a major one. When I was in Russia, I really enjoyed being there and thought they were gracious people. But I felt extremely foreign there. I'm from California where I'm used to being super friendly and smiling all the time, and Russians aren't that way. I feel like I can relate more to Australians in that sense.
Q. Where would you like to go that you have never been to before?
A. I would love to visit Indonesia. My ancestors are Dutch Indonesian. I want to go to the island of Java where my great-grandparents are from. I'd like to see where my roots are from. I've also heard amazing things about South Africa and would love to visit there.
Q. What would be your dream trip?
A. I really would love to go to Australia and go on a road trip up the Gold Coast. I'd visit Sydney and Melbourne and then fly to New Zealand and explore that country. Then I'd love to go back to Japan and spend more time in Tokyo, which I loved! And then I'd go see Indonesia and Thailand. I might be ready to come back home then.
Q. Do you purchase souvenirs when you travel?
A. I do enjoy shopping, so yes! But you have to think about how you're going to bring it all back, so I like to get small things like scarves and rings, which are lightweight. In Dubai, I got a belly chain at an outdoor mart. But the best buy I got was at a market in Italy that was about 45 minutes outside of Milan. It's a vintage man's watch, and I get lots of compliments when I wear it.
Q. Which U.S. state would you like to revisit?
A. There are still so many places left to see. I went to Anchorage, Alaska, about 13 years ago for a swim meet. I remember going to a glacier and seeing lots of snow. I've been looking forward to going back for a while when it was warmer and meeting all the people and eating their fresh fish! And I got the chance to do so recently.

This is hello and goodbye John,
I know that all is well.
Remember two twisted minds John,
From Reichenbach we fell.
I know it must be boring,
When all cases die down.
Yet still with waking eyes,
You'll see crime around the town.
And though I'd like to wake,
And play another game,
I'm playing life, and losing.
Death wins all the same.
By the time you read this little rhyme,
I know I'll be long gone.
But don't be angered by the time,
It's job did nothing wrong.
I remember I once said, "John,
You are my one friend."
You're the one friend who stayed.
Right through to the very end.
Any time you're by my grave,
Or look sadly to the sky,
I will not be there either,
See John, I did not die.

Part Three: Energybending vs Taking Someone's Bending
Again we can compare how Aang's method and Amon's differ.
Aang touches two chakras, Amon only one.
For Amon's way of taking away bending only the touch on the forehead seems to be necessary (he never touched Tahno's neck). No visible glowing is involved, either.
Aang touches two chakras and we see him glowing both times, even tough in Yakone's case the glowing is a lot less strong than in Ozai's, it is still visible.
Another thing I found interesting. Take a look at the gif. Amon seems to be pushing down on that man's forehead with visible strength, as if pushing something in.
Is this a kind of bloodbending that locks chakras/chi flow? A kind of advanced chi blocking that requires no bending?
Should true energybending take that much physical force?
Energybending: Part One
Energybending: Part Two
