- Mexican Marinara Sauce:
- 2 teaspoons olive or corn oil
- 1 cup chopped red onions
- 1 teaspoon chipolte chilies or 1/2 teaspoon dried red chili flakes or 1/4 cup canned, chopped green chilies, drained
- 2 teaspoons chili powder
- 2 teaspoons dried oregano
- 1 teaspoon ground cumin
- 1 cup bottled or jarred commercial marinara sauce

Best Android camera apps: camera replacement (2014 edition)
0. phoneArena 18 Jul 2014, 03:49 posted on
Having a smartphone in your pocket is empowering. But with a capable camera, it is inspiring - you can take really great shots in most conditions…
This is a discussion for a news. To read the whole news, click here

I've used Camera FX and Camera FV-5 and I must say that the former is my primary camera app while the latter is a good alternative if you want to experiment
2. boosook (Posts: 1028; Member since: 19 Nov 2012)
Where's Vignette? It's one of the best (if not THE best) IMO. The interface may be not be all bells and whistles like other apps, but the effects and the features are all there, with some unique features.
To compile this list, seems that they just spent 5 minutes on Google Play after having searched for "camera app"...
8. BlackhawkFlys (Posts: 38; Member since: 07 May 2014)
Vignette is on the list.. No.7
3. SavageLucy42 (Posts: 211; Member since: 24 Mar 2011)
Pudding Camera is what I was using for a while because it seemed to take crisper pictures than my default camera. Recently started using the free version of Pro Capture, though, and may end up buying the full version. Love the reduced-noise option, and it comes with a panorama setting that works super well.
4. ebubekir26 (Posts: 311; Member since: 21 Dec 2012)
stock is better
5. rizevnarastek (Posts: 330; Member since: 06 Sep 2012)
Stock HTC camera app is the best in every regard ;)
6. ebubekir26 (Posts: 311; Member since: 21 Dec 2012)
HTC ? yes but not only HTC, stock camera app is better on every android device
7. refillable (Posts: 641; Member since: 10 Mar 2014)
As a photographer, one will only keep android's stock camera app and a paid version of Camera FV-5 to each give easy capture and manual settings.
9. bestmvno (Posts: 150; Member since: 07 Mar 2014)
Google Camera needs to add manual white balance, and manual iso settings. Fancy filters are all fun and nice, but those other controls are far more important.
10. deni777 (Posts: 2; Member since: 25 Jun 2014)
ProCapture is my choise :D
11. Damo579 (Posts: 203; Member since: 18 May 2013)
I'm surprised that hipstamatic isn't available for android. I love using it on my 1020.
12. p51d007 (Posts: 70; Member since: 24 Nov 2013)
Camera FV-5 here, I like the ability to customize my settings, like I do on my dSLR.

14. rsiders (Posts: 274; Member since: 17 Nov 2011)
Android guys and gals help me out. I'm really considering switching to Android from Windows Phone if certain conditions are not met by this winter. Is there any Android app that will give me access to the camera's shutter speed on any Android smartphone besides the HTC One?(it already has that function built into the settings) I have the Lumia 1020 so I'm not going to switch for the One as much as I love the phone and I still want to be able to take control over my photography.
15. clarkjeferson (Posts: 51; Member since: 22 Dec 2013)
A Better Camera by Almalence has ISO Shutter speed control.
16. rsiders (Posts: 274; Member since: 17 Nov 2011)
Thanks clarkjeferson. I'll give it a shot on my wife's Galaxy S5.
17. Baqi1 (Posts: 1; Member since: 04 Sep 2014)
Camera FX Live: Please check this camera out. It has some great filters: play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.nm.camerafx
Spent quite a time developing the filters.

moreWhen the Greek island of Santorini, classically known as Thera, erupted dramatically in 1613 BC (+/- 13 years), it produced one of the largest explosions ever witnessed, thereby possibly giving rise to the legend of Atlantis. This so-called 'Minoan' eruption triggered tsunamis that devastated coastal settlements in the region, and on Santorini it left behind a Bronze Age Pompeji, which is currently being excavated. Thriving Bronze Age settlements on the island - rich in colorful wall paintings and highly sophisticated pottery - were buried under thick layers of volcanic ash. The ejection of an immense volume of dust into the atmosphere also altered global climate for several years.The author, a well-known geologist, blends the thrill of scientific discovery with a popular presentation of the geology, archeology, history, peoples, and the environmental settings of the island group of Santorini. He not only gives a comprehensive overview of the volcanic island and its past, but also reports on the latest discoveries: The finding, for example, of the olive trees which had been buried alive by the Minoan eruption has made it possible now to give a direct and precise radiocarbon date for the volcanic catastrophe. Furthermore, he seeks to assign certain geological structures, such as faulted rocks, red lavas and harbor sites, as depicted on the Bronze Age frescos from Santorini, to still-existing details in the Santorini landscape of today.Excellent color photographs and illustrations along with easily understandable scientific and historic details will make this book highly appealing to a wide audience. It will also be useful as a supplementary text for introductory courses in earth and atmospheric science, geology, volcanology, and paleoclimatology, as well as ancient history and archeology. less

Vathia View slideshowThe Máni is the middle one of the three peninsulas which reach out from the south of the Peloponnese. It is traversed by the tail of the Taygetos range. This remote, hilly and barren region was able, throughout all Greece's periods of foreign rule, to preserve a degree of independence. For centuries the Máni was racked by feuds between different clans, who built the defensive towers still to be seen in many of the little towns and villages.This unproductive land is now increasingly being abandoned by its inhabitants. Its great attraction lies in its beautiful mountain scenery, at heights of up to 1,215m/3,985ft, its picturesque villages and its numerous old chapels, many of them in a state of ruin but still of interest for their wall paintings. Much of the Máni can be reached only on foot or from the sea.

Areopolis & Kardamyli, Greece
Areópoli - Límenas
Límenas is the port of Areópolis. The Mavromichalis mansion here has been converted into a museum.
Stalactitic Caves, Dyros, Greece
Aleopotripa Cave
Aleopotripa Cave has several vaults with long corridors. Inside is a lake. The cave has an interesting history with many bones of humans and animals having been found here. The cave is open to visitors.
Cape Tainaron
At the southernmost tip of the peninsula is Cape Taínaron (Matapán). In ancient times this was thought to be one of the entrances to the underworld, where Herakles descended in quest of the dog Curberos (Cerberus). More recently, Cape Matapán is remembered as the scene of a naval action in the World War II.On the east coast of the peninsula, 5km/3mi north of the cape, is the 16th century Turkish fortress of Pórto Káyio.
Vathia, Greece
Vathia, at the southernmost point on Máni accessible by car, is a sight worth seeing. It has a cluster of remarkable towers, many of which have been converted into guest houses.
Gerolimenas, Greece
Yerolímenas is a typical Maniot village. It stands on the coast, beside a small natural harbor surrounded by prickly pears and olive trees.
Porto Sternes - Sanctuary of Poseidon Tainaron
Porto Sternes is where the Sanctuary of Poseidon Tainaron once stood. Today a chapel to the Asomatos Saints occupies the site. Many of the ancient stones were reused in its construction.Further from the site is the so-called cave of Hades, where Poseidon was once worshipped.
Gythion, Greece
Marathonísi - Tzannetakis Tower
The island of Marathonísi, connected with the mainland by a causeway, was the ancient Kranai, on which according to tradition Paris spent his first night with Helen, whom he had carried off from Sparta. Near the north end of the town is a Roman theater.The center of the islet is dominated by the Tzannetakis tower.
Passava Castle
East of Gythion is the Frankish castle of Passava, which is well worth a visit.

Quote reblogged from common dense with 396 notes
There is no escape. You can't be a vagabond and an artist and still be a solid citizen, a wholesome, upstanding man. You want to get drunk, so you have to accept the hangover. You say yes to the sunlight and pure fantasies, so you have to say yes to the filth and the nausea. Everything is within you, gold and mud, happiness and pain, the laughter of childhood and the apprehension of death. Say yes to everything, shirk nothing. Don't try to lie to yourself. You are not a solid citizen. You are not a Greek. You are not harmonious, or the master of yourself. You are a bird in the storm. Let it storm! Let it drive you! How much have you lied! A thousand times, even in your poems and books, you have played the harmonious man, the wise man, the happy, the enlightened man. In the same way, men attacking in war have played heroes, while their bowels twitched. My God, what a poor ape, what a fencer in the mirror man is- particularly the artist- particularly myself!

From the Department of Awesome Natural Wonders come these mysterious patterns on the ocean floor off the southern coast of Japan. Japanese scuba diver and photographer Yoji Ookata, who has spent the last 50 years exploring and documenting his underwater discoveries off the coast of Japan, spotted these beautiful and puzzling patterns in the sand, nearly six feet in diameter and 80 feet below sea level, during a dive near Amami Oshima at the southern tip of the country.
So what happened next? Are these rippling geometric patterns the equivalent of crop circles on the seafloor? Not quite, but the answer is still a good one. Colossal explains:
"He soon returned with colleagues and a television crew from the nature program NHK to document the origins what he dubbed the "mystery circle."
Using underwater cameras the team discovered the artist is a small puffer fish only a few inches in length that swims tirelessly through the day and night to create these vast organic sculptures using the gesture of a single fin. Through careful observation the team found the circles serve a variety of crucial ecological functions, the most important of which is to attract mates. Apparently the female fish are attracted to the hills and valleys within the sand and traverse them carefully to discover the male fish where the pair eventually lay eggs at the circle's center, the grooves later acting as a natural buffer to ocean currents that protect the delicate offspring. Scientists also learned that the more ridges contained within the sculpture resulted in a much greater likelihood of the fish pairing. To learn more about the circles check out the full scoop over on Spoon and Tamago, and you can see two high resolution desktop photos courtesy of NHK here."
Busy little pufferfish boys wooing potential mates by sculpting the sand with their bodies. As far as we're concerned, that's pretty awesome!

Trevor J. Hawkeswood is a scientist who has experienced hundreds of paranormal events in his lifetime. In Light and Dark, he recounts some of these incredible interactions.
He believes that reality occurs on two separate but interwoven planes of existence-the Earth plane and the multiple levels of the spiritual planes, including the lower levels, from where the dark souls of humans who have died reach out to us.
He has experienced more than one hundred sightings of the shadow people, or "black ghosts." He credits guardian angels with saving him from harm or certain death on a number of occasions. Hawkeswood also shares accounts of his numerous sightings of strange aerial phenomena he believes were caused by UFOs.
He has personally experienced clairaudience-voices from beyond-and precognition, or the ability to see the future. His detailed account of a unique out-of-body experience (OOBE) challenges what is known about this remarkable ability. His OOBE was unlike anything that has ever been described by others who have experienced it-and he shares it all in Light and Dark. But it hasn't all been safe or pleasant. At eighteen, he survived a terrifying encounter with a demon gargoyle who tried to steal his soul energy after paralysing him.
A comprehensive handbook for the paranormal enthusiast, Hawkeswood's work also provides a glossary and reference list of English-language UFO books. In Light and Dark, he shares a lifetime of experiences, ideas, and theories about this fascinating field of study.

My final animation for this subject.
After showing off my animation to the focus group I received a little bit of feedback, with things to change or fix.
My graph showing the gender of gamers was wrong. I made girls account for 53% when the text beside it said 47%. I also wanted to fine tune some of the animation, some of the elements appear too quickly.
I think this is all I need to do for it to be completed.
The week 9 rough animation. I still want to expand on the point I am trying to make and finish off some of the transitions near the end. I'm considering making it longer and adding another 20 seconds to explain other important aspects relating to the power of video games, not just the story telling part of it.
The article Can Video Games be Art? by Patrick Holleman featured on The Game Design Forum manages to highlight the foundations of my topic very well. With four different sub topics defining art, the act of playing, the problem of games and the future of art in video games, this is a great reading for the research of my chosen topic. As an extension on this reading there is another article (part 2) that is closely linked to it, Narrative in Video Games. I will be looking at both of these readings as if they were one.
To begin there is a quote in part 2 at the start that I think summarises this whole reading in a nutshell. "When's the first time someone's going to write the Moby Dick of computer games? People around the world are going to go 'Wow, it doesn't even matter that it's a game, that's classic - that's a classic tale.'" This is a quote from Chris Metzen, VP of Creative Development at Blizzard Entertainment. Blizzard Entertainment is one of the most influential game studios in the world, they have created game series such as World of Warcraft, Starcraft and Diablo.
To really justify video games as art we must first look at what it means to be classified as art. The dictionary defines art as 'the expression or application of human creative skill and imagination, producing works to be appreciated primarily for their beauty or emotional power'. In the broad scheme of things, to be classified as art a piece of work needs to show creative skill and emotional power. The creative process of making a video game is far more complex when compared to a painting, drawing or any other traditional art mediums. Game developers need to study game design for years and have a large understanding of coding languages such as C++ and XNA. This isn't to say that traditional art mediums don't require skill and talent, just that you can't simply pick up a computer and make a game the same with you can pick up a pencil and paper and draw something.
In terms of emotional power, I don't think games have any problem communicating this. With so much room for experiments and collaboration between creative individuals, any story, feeling or event can be portrayed through video games. Video games have to consider game art, soundtrack, voice acting, direction and many other elements to tie the experience together seamlessly. There are many games that are developed with the sole purpose of telling a story, such as Quantic Dream's Playstation 3 game Heavy Rain. The story is a dramatic thriller that is modelled around film noir, focusing on four protagonists living in a mystery of a serial killer called the Origami Killer. This game arguably tells a better story that conveys more feelings and emotions than most films produced today.
I suppose the true question here is what is it that separates games such as Tetris to other games such as Portal? Tetris, which is not intended to be a work of art but a form of entertainment with game mechanics and design ideas. Portal, which has an elaborate script, voiced characters, dramatic soundtrack and a deep plot. It is games like Portal that I believe can be so much more than a simple video game, they can be complete works of art, that sit on top of other forms of entertainment such as films, music, plays and literature.
To end, I will leave with this quote from former US Vice President Al Gore, "What we're seeing in games is art at a world-class stage design that is almost unmatched anywhere else".

Part 2 - http://thegamedesignforum.com/features/narrative_in_games.html
This is an article posted on IGN that focuses on the game Dota 2. It is titled "How To Make A Living Selling Virtual Hats" and was written by Phill Cameron. The article talks about how games can incorporate micro transactions in the form of "hats", which is downloadable content that you can buy to enhance the aesthetic side of the characters you play as. These hats are not to be confused with other micro transactions that some other games supply that give you a significant advantage over your opponent in terms of gameplay and the ability to win. The term "pay-to-win" originated from this system.
In a game like Dota 2, these hats involve three different groups of people. The game developer, the content (hat) creator and the player. In Dota 2, the way it works is the content creator makes a cosmetic item for a particular hero, which they can then upload to the Steam Workshop. The community can then rate can comment on different creations, resulting in Valve picking the most popular and highest quality items to be implemented into the game. Once the items have been fine tuned and put in the game, players can buy them and show off their new items in game.
In the content creation side of things, it is a great opportunity for the collaboration of lots of people. A single item could require the work of four people, to sketch, model, texture and rig. With over 3 million players, if you create an item that meets the likes of just 1% of that population and they buy it you could earn yourself a six figure value. This is taking into account the game developers taking a cut of all the sales.
When looking back at this idea, it is crazy that some people can be earning a living from sitting behind their desk at home and doing this just as a hobby. The community response from the implementation of hats into a game like Dota 2 is both good and bad, I think the good outweighs the bad however. Hats allow the growth of a game as people tell their friends about any cool items they get and as content creators share their creations around the web, people will wonder what game it is for and check it out. As one content creator Stephanie "Anuxi" Everett says "hats make you more attached to your characters and to the game".
In terms of any negative implications that hats have on a game, they require all players to download the items in order to see other people use them in game. It may also be frustrating to see other people being able to afford all these items, however Valve has a solution to this. After each game, random items will drop for random people, giving you a chance to get a rare mythical courier to ferry items to you from base or to get a common chest that requires you to buy a key to receive your item inside.
In addition to implementing this system into their game, Valve hosts a competition every year in conjunction with Polycount to find the best community creations. Rewarding them with a nice $45K for last year's competition. As a player when you buy an item you know that your money is going towards supporting the rightful creator of that item.
The success of these micro transactions in Dota 2 is enormous and the game itself hasn't even been officially released yet, it is still in beta. It is hard to image how many sales creators will receive once the game is released for free. This is just one of the examples that show the power of video games to in this case allow someone to make a living doing the things they love doing.
The reading for this week was a chapter called The Definition of Play, The Classification of Games by Roger Caillois as a part of Katie Salen and Eric Zimmerman's The Game Design Reader: A Rules of Play Anthology. Gaming has been a favourite hobby of mine since as long as I can remember, to me it is a fun activity with excitement, this reading did not reflect that at all. This was a very laborious 36 pages, I found the points he was trying to make were dragged out and its meaning was lost.
Caillois defines 'play' as an activity which is:
- Free: the act of playing is not required and consistent, we are allowed to come and go as we please.
- Separate: fixed and restricted in place.
- Uncertain: the outcome cannot be foreseen, the result is dependable on the player.
- Unproductive: the result is creating nothing beneficial to the player, game or third parties.
- Governed by rules: the rules are under various effects and alone to ordinary laws.
- Make-belive: the player feels as if they are inside the game's environment.
From reading Cailois views on the definition of play, I gathered that he was some what against the notion of playing games being beneficial to the player. It feels as if he thinks gaming is a waste of time and doesn't see the positive outcomes.
Classification of games can be divided up into:
- Agon (Competition): Sports in general, racing.
- Alea (Chance): Poker, Roulette, betting.
- Mimicry (Simulation): Games of illusions, specific situations.
- Ilinix (Vertigo): Disruption, destruction of stability.
Each of these categories can be broken down further. Some of these terms that Cailois uses are difficult to understand, i've never heard them used in the context of gaming before. These may be extremely broad, however from my experience in playing games there a lot more categories that games can be divided into.
The power of video games is a broad topic that I will be focusing on for this design research assessment. I aim to research parts of gaming culture and understand what it is that makes them a great medium for storytelling and entertainment. Today the video game industry is sitting on $62 Billion, forecasted to reach $82 billion by 2017. With almost every device that has a screen being able to run games, the expressive medium of video games can't be overlooked.
I have been playing video games for as long as I can remember and they have undoubtedly influenced the way I think, act and understand how the world works. Video games have a power to tell stories in a very similar way to movies, books and songs, however they have the requirement of interactivity. I will be researching how video games achieve this while taking a look at some of the games that do this well.
I will be looking at games from a large time period, from the 1985 NES game Super Mario Bros. to the 2007 puzzle game Portal. My research will touch on some of the technology that has revolutionised gaming such as mobile devices and broadband internet. I want to include statistics on usage, sales, gamer demographics and other relevant information.
Regarding the video itself, I want to keep a consistent visual style throughout the video, trying to achieve a more abstract style to represent information rather than a realistic approach. I think a voice over would suit my video really well, to explain more information that the animations won't. To accompany the voice over, I want to add some sort of 8-bit tune in the background. I think this will tie it all together and add a more polished feel to the end result.
At the end of the video, I want viewers to understand the true potential for video games as a story telling medium and its place in today's world.
This was a very different type of reading to the previous, as it was structured in a listing format that explained twenty key 'new' media concepts. It was from Terry Flew's book New Media: An Introduction published in 2007. I was a bit confused because these concepts weren't really that new, however in the context of the internet and other rising technologies in the past decade they have a different meaning. Here are some of my own definitions for a selection of the concepts that appealed to me the most.
Collective Intelligence
The term used to describe the universal collection, sorting, storage and retrieval of information across many network databases. The biggest services I can think of that use this concept are search engines such as Google, Bing and Yahoo. They gather information from across the web, sort it by relevance, popularity and integrity and bring it to the user.
This is a very important concept that can be seen across the globe any almost all aspects of life. Convergence is the transformation of devices such as laptops, mobile phones, MP3 players, GPS systems, gaming consoles and cameras into singular multipurpose devices. It is also the interlinking of many institutional activities and social life such as art, business, government, health and education.
Creative Industries
This term is most commonly perceived as the growing opportunity for creative individuals to make money through the generation of new products and services using ICTs. It links individual talent to a mass scale audience
A term that I believe has changed dramatically since this book was published. Globalisation is slowly becoming more scarce in today's age. There are still Transnational Corporations (TNCs) however the influence of smaller companies has never been bigger. Due to the greater importance of social media and meeting the needs of niche markets, it is these smaller companies that have the ability to flourish, not squander under the foot of larger companies.
The social anticipation for the release of a new product or service. Hype can be generated through the use of social media and releasing content such as teasers and trailers. When used correctly hype can have a drastic effect on the amount of units a product sells.
Information Overload
With devices such as mobile phones with LTE technology, we have the entire internet at our fingertips with the ability to find out any piece of information we could ever hope for. When searching for a topic we are overloaded with information. We are fed so much information that quality is the most important thing when looking for something.
A concept that has really risen from this new media, compared to old media that required a much more passive consumption. We can see this interactivity in things such as mobile phones with sensors that allow the input of sound, touch and sight. Also in everyday activities such as watching a sports game, we can vote for things such as MVP of the match right from our remote.
One of the more compelling concepts that makes new media 'new'. The speed at which all of this takes place at is astounding. In a few seconds we can look at a street that is across the globe, find out information about anything we desire, find out how much money is in our bank accounts.
These are a selection of some of the concepts that appealed to me the most and six years from when the book was published there are probably another 50 new concepts. Overall I thought this was a helpful reading to look at that helped me understand some of these terms a bit better.

Overall Rating: 10/10
Sample from Visionary Supply, on the MSDS it says this was sourced from Yipeng Chemical, which has a questionable rating on SoS. Very good perl methoxetamine. Pro-fucking-fessional packaging.
It has been brought to my attention that the lab listed on the MSDS was NOT the source of this sample. I have changed their rating again to reflect this.

Almost everyone has played with diecast vehicles when they were young. As a kid, my friends and I collected Matchbox & Hot Wheels cars. It was fun to make race tracks and play zones at each of our houses and bring the cars from house to house. I remember having a holder that looked like a race car tire only smaller. It could hold maybe 25-30 Hot Wheels cars in individual compartments that would prevent them from banging into each other during transport. We would play in the dirt with our diecast vehicles, racing them on dirt tracks that we would dig with tunnels, hills and bridges in the dirt. Most people probably lost or threw away their cherished childhood Hot Wheels and Matchbox diecast vehicles they had as young children, or they got lost like all of the other toys we had when we were young. Some people did manage to save them and these rare cars are probably quite valuable to diecast collectors. Rarer still would be to find a vintage car that is in an unopened package that doesn't have the battle scares accumulated from years of play.
Back then, the most common diecast cars were Hot Wheels and Matchbox. Today there are tons of different companies and they make diecast vehicles of every kind… cars, airplanes, construction vehicles, boats, military vehicles, and more. They also come in many different scales. The most popular scales around today are 1:18 scale and 1:24 scale. The smaller the second number in the scale – the larger the car. For instance, a 1955 Ford in 1:18 scale will be about 12" long while a 1:24 scale replica of that same car will be about 9" long. A 1:64 scale will be about 3" long – the size of a typical Hot Wheels or Matchbox car. When first starting to collect diecast vehicles, you must decide which scale and types of cars you really want to collect because there are so many choices that you can't possibly collect them all.
That brings us to price. Years ago, these cars were small (1:64 scale) and inexpensive. Today, most of the cars are much larger, heavier and more expensive. As a result, most diecast cars that collectors are searching for are no longer available in mass market toy stores or retail chains. Today, your best bet for finding these cars is online, or through specialty toy and hobby shops if you have one in your area.
Once you start building up your diecast vehicle collection, you should consider getting a display case to show it off. If you have some talent and a few tools, you can easily build a display case in your garage or workshop. Or you can always purchase nice quality display cases that are custom made to fit specific scale model diecast. These are usually sold on the same web sites that offer the replicas.
Good luck and happy collecting!

Surge in smuggling of chicken to the mainland
Posted Jun 19th 2004, 12:00am by Clifford Lo

|WebEx, a Cisco company, creates on-demand software solutions for companies of all sizes. Our online meeting applications and software services help our customers all over the world fulfill their most ambitious goals for marketing, sales, training, and support.
We lead the world in online meeting applications. As evidence of this, more than 3.5 million people use Cisco?s WebEx products every month to communicate and collaborate online. And our 28,000 customers understand why we are the proven technology leader, with first-class global support.
Following the Cisco acquisition of May 25, 2007, WebEx products are being integrated into Cisco?s expanding portfolio of next-generation collaboration products and services based on Web 2.0 technologies. We are committed to advancing our technology without sacrificing the reliability and security that enables on-demand collaboration.
WebEx is the #1 web conference provider in the world
WebEx began with a vision: to use the Web to bring people together from around the world to collaborate and work collectively on creative ideas and business. When WebEx was founded in 1996, emerging digital communications standards, such as ISDN and Switched Digital Service, led to the development of video conferencing, a market which took off. Users were excited by the possibilities of extended learning, keynote events, and multimedia presentations combining live video and audio?without the time and expense of traditional conferences.
WebEx worked to overcome the common barriers of the user conferencing software available at that time. Most users found it painstaking?if not impossible?to customize these applications into a useful solution to meet their business needs. Also, video conferencing tended to focus on people and their faces?relegating to a minor role the information they were trying to convey. The result: a lot of conferencing software was sold, but very little was used.
WebEx began with a clean slate, taking advantage of Internet technology to design collaboration solutions that hide all the complexities. When you choose WebEx, there?s no need to worry about ports, platforms, versions, firewalls?or even the Internet. All you need to run effective online meetings is a browser and a phone. Collaborating with colleagues using WebEx solutions is as easy as point and click?making it effortless to meet with anyone, anywhere, at any time.

Do the Dougie: 19-year-old Dougie Hamilton is a Bruins sensation
|01.25.13 at 10:32 pm ET
He's only 19 but defenseman Dougie Hamilton is already showing why the Bruins' management felt comfortable putting him right into the fire of the NHL.
Hamilton had two assists as the Bruins defeated the New York Islanders 4-2 Friday night at TD Garden. The crowd began to chant his name in the third period after his outlet pass set up Patrice Bergeron's insurance goal. The players are already singing to him in the locker room, asking him to — as the song says — "Teach me how to Dougie."
Claude Julien noted Hamilton work in juniors that prepared him for his debut early on in this shortened season.
"There's a couple of things that's happened to help him along the way here," Julien said. "He's been playing since September with his junior team, he's gone to the World Juniors, so he's played in high-caliber tournaments. So, he's got that experience and he's come in here with a good jump, having played four months of hockey and right now he's playing with a lot of confidence. The guys that he's playing with have been extremely helpful with him on the ice.
"I think that's why our [front office] guys drafted him, because they saw a lot of things we're seeing right now. We liked his size, we liked the way he moved on the ice, but at the same time, we thought he had real good hockey sense. He sees the ice well, he finds the passing lanes and you saw on that goal, breakout out of our own end. You see the guy scoring, but it all starts from our end, and that was from his pass to [Brad] Marchand and to Bergy [Patrice Bergeron] for the breakaway. Those kind of things is what our scouts saw in him and those kind of things he's demonstrating right now. You have to be pleased and impressed with a young player playing the way he has been."

Can I pour beer in it?
No, only players can do that.
Do people ever try to sneak by you to pour beer in it?
They try. They don't succeed.
How much beer can it hold?
The Stanley Cup can hold 14 cans of beer.
Wow, you knew that fact off the top of your head.
Well, it's seen a lot of beer.
(Time via Corbin Hiar)
Out of the night that covers me,
Black as the pit from pole to pole,
I thank whatever gods may be
For my unconquerable soul.
In the fell clutch of circumstance
I have not winced nor cried aloud.
Under the bludgeonings of chance
My head is bloody, but unbowed.
Beyond this place of wrath and tears
Looms but the Horror of the shade,
And yet the menace of the years
Finds and shall find me unafraid.
It matters not how strait the gate,
How charged with punishments the scroll,
I am the master of my fate:
I am the captain of my soul.

Poem: Do Seasons Change for the Better?
Spring is coming and with that in mind I thought this poem would be great for this time. Enjoy! :)
Do Seasons Change for the Better
The world is an ever changing place,
But at the same time
So familiar,
So the same.
Everything is always moving.
The seasons are moving in a
A pattern that never changes,
Never stops.
Even a day always goes to a night,
Then night goes to day.
Air and wind always moves.
Everything does.
We, as people, usually change.
We get older,
Never younger.
We grow wiser and
Learn more things.
Some are bad,
And some give us more knowledge.
The question is
Whether it changes us
For the better?
Or for the worse?
Getting older, we have no say in it.
We do have the choice
To not grow older in the mind.
But the events often change that,
Whether we want to or not.
Fact is,
People change people.
When we meet someone new,
We say certain things to make them like us.
We soon like the things we say,
Even if it isn't you.
So we become it.
Leave the friends we used to have
And talk to friends we don't know.
I say that is the want of acceptance
To blame.
One day,
Years of generations after us,
People will lose the want for acceptance
And greed, and power.
Or we might not live long,
Or true to us.

It's from the Daily News, so, proceed with caution. With that said, the Kings adoration of the former Oregon product is well known.
With Jimmer Fredette's addition to a backcourt featuring Tyreke Evans, Sacramento doesn't have a playmaker, but the answer might come in free agency, whenever that is. The Kings plan on making a pitch for the Suns' Aaron Brooks, who is restricted. Phoenix made him a qualifying offer on Thursday.
Brooks would ease the blow of losing Beno Udrih, especially from outside where the current Sun has a career three-point line of 36%.
But considering the Suns point guard scenario is in a far worse situation than the Kings (once Nash departs), it's hard to imagine the Kings grabbing Brooks without overpaying the piper considering Brooks' restricted status.

To perform a search, enter a keyword, phrase or item number in the search field and click "search."
We offer two ways to locate information:
Red wines that are more fruit-forward and lighter in tannin and body.
Medium bodied reds that go down easy, with smooth tannins and supple fruit.
Wines where earthy and/or spicy dominate the flavors – typically medium to full body.
Full bodied wines that have concentrated fruit and are higher in alcohol and/or tannins. Some need age.
Gudarrà is deep ruby-red in color with enticing notes of red cherries, cassis, blackberries, sweet spice and a hint of licorice. This is an accessible, versatile red that pairs beautifully with southern Italian pasta dishes, lamb, grilled or roasted game and ripe, flavorful cheeses.
"Monolithic, with plenty of vibrant flavors of blackberry, cassis and fig paste in reserve. Hints of mesquite and olive paste round out the long, minerally finish. Needs time to fully integrate and shed some of the mouthcoating tannins. Best from 2013 through 2020."
92 Points
Wine Spectator
"The 2007 Aglianico del Vulture Gudarra is an explosive wine imbued with dark fruit, smoke, ash and tobacco. Layers of mint and cured meats develop on the mid-palate, adding further complexity and nuance. All of the elements build with notable intensity towards the intense, virile finish. Anticipated maturity: 2014-2022. "
92 Points
The Wine Advocate
"This well integrated Aglianico del Vulture opens with ripe notes of black fruit and dried currants backed by softer aromas of leather and crushed clove or cinnamon. It's a massively intense and dense wine with rock-solid tannins that need to be paired with succulent steak."

So, in revenge for a number of restless nights back when I was a sprog; here are those two evil hellspawn as I've come to imagine them.
