5 Steps to Building Muscle Fast
(Cambridge) - So you're ready to build muscle and get the body you've always wanted? Looking for "1 easy trick" to get there? Think again! If you're serious about improving your body, you should know that there are 5 essential steps in the process. Recent research has revealed that following these steps produces the best body results, naturally (without dangerous or illegal products like steroids). Today, many people are using these habits and the right supplements to build muscle, get toned, and look better.
For guys who want to transform their bodies, diet is a major part of the battle. To see the best results for your body, you need to carefully watch everything you're putting in your mouth. The best diets for building muscle consist of 5-6 small meals every day that are high in lean protein and low in fat. Protein is absolutely essential for building new muscle mass, and you should choose lean proteins like tuna, chicken breast, and turkey for meals, and have a whey protein shake post-workout. Low-fat dairy products (like egg whites, yogurt, and milk) are also good choices. To minimize fat in your diet, use fruits and vegetables as snack foods, cut out sugary sodas, and limit fast food meals. Finally, make sure you are drinking at least 8 glasses of water per day.
After years of research, experts now agree that nitric oxide (NO) supplements are the effective, safe way to maximize muscle gains. The body naturally produces nitric oxide to move oxygen and nutrients to muscles, but can only produce a limited amount. You should be taking a nitric oxide supplement daily to support your muscles both in and out of the gym. One nitric oxide supplement, Force Factor, is endorsed by pro athletes like UFC Champion BJ Penn, pro football player Vernon Davis, and basketball Rookie of the Year Derrick Rose. Force Factor is the most popular nitric oxide supplement available and was recently awarded GNC's "Rising Star" award. If you're just getting started on your muscle-building journey, sign up for a free 14-day sample of Force Factor to discover the difference that NO can make, and start getting the results you want.
Taking a daily NO supplement is the first step to supporting your muscles for optimal workouts. Next, you should start hydrating yourself with a pre-workout sports drink 30 minutes before you work out. These drinks are currently very popular and are helping guys everywhere increase their energy, strength, focus, and endurance for the best muscle-building and body-sculpting results. Many of these drinks can be gritty or bitter and contain unsafe levels of dangerous ingredients. However, one drink that is safe, effective, and actually tastes good is called Body Rush. Body Rush comes in three flavors and is available at GNC stores. You can also pick up a free two-week supply by signing up online. Pre-workout drinks like Body Rush can make a major difference in seeing dramatic changes and building lean muscle.
This may seem like an obvious step for getting ripped, but often guys focus too much on just one exercise or one area of their bodies (like the abs). You won't see the best results if you take a narrow approach like this. Major muscle groups should be worked on different days and cardio should not be neglected. It's important to develop and stick with a workout plan that will train and tone your whole body.
Often, people who are trying to build muscle and get stronger think they need to spend as much time in the gym as possible. However, rest is often as important to building muscle as working out is. Rest actually makes you stronger by allowing the muscles you've worked to heal, recover, and grow. When training, get at least 8 hours of quality sleep every night and give you muscles regular off days from the stress of workouts.

Starting pitcher Ted Lilly was activated from the disabled list yesterday and today he was designated for assignment by the Los Angeles Dodgers.
The fourteen year veteran who has played in Los Angeles during the past four seasons struggled with chronic neck issues this year which has only allowed him to appear in five games, pitching 23 innings in those starts.
When he was on the diamond, the results weren't pretty. In those starts, Lilly compiled a 5.09 ERA alongside a 1.61 WHIP – a far cry from the success he found in Los Angeles in recent years.
Now 37, the Dodgers fully stocked with arms decided it was time to cut the former 17 game winner in 2008 loose. They will still be on the hook for his salary as he is still owed over $13.5 million dollars and obviously wont draw any interest on the waiver wire.
It's possible he could see a Spring Training invite or two next season but his days of being a relevant pitcher are long gone. Certainly not the way he wanted to see his relatively solid career come to an end if it is indeed complete.

Critical Infrastructure Companies Lack Cyberdefenses
July 11, 2014
Companies providing the world's critical infrastructure are woefully unprepared for cyberattacks despite the increasing threat level, evidenced by the release of the Stuxnet worm and the Shamoon virus in recent years, found a survey conducted by the Ponemon Institute and Unisys. Nearly 70 percent of the 599 surveyed companies in the past 12 months have reported at least one security breach.

Researchers Find Android Security on Par With iOS
June 18, 2014
The open source mobile operating system Android long has been considered by security experts to be the mobile OS most vulnerable to security threats, but iOS is just as vulnerable. However, the two OSes expose users to different types of threats. The perceived greater security of iOS rests on Apple's control of app distribution rather than on any inherent superiority of the OS over Android.

Open Source Persistence: Resistance Is Futile
June 09, 2014
Software developers routinely use open source components to boost productivity and improve the quality of their code. The problem for enterprises is that companies using open source must properly manage it and comply with its licensing, as with any third-party code. That becomes difficult to do when corporate leaders do not know their computer systems are running open source code.

How can Age of Empires 2 to keep Aspect Ratio on Widescreen Monitor?
I am on Windows 7 and use nvidia, my main Monitor is a Medion MD 20165, the resolution is 1920 x 1080 and I have 2 monitors. I want Age of Empires II to run on my primary monitor but keep the aspect ratio, with the black bars either side. I looked through various threads and came to a potential solution. This solution was to go into the Nvidia control panel and click "Use NVIDIA scaling with fixed aspect ratio" under "Adjust Desktop Size and Position". I went to this menu and no such option is displayed. I have attached a picture displaying this screen. This potential solution may not actually work as I am unable to try it, so also if you have any other solutions please say. Thanks

No doubt by now you've heard about VetteGate, our name for the prank pulled by online buff book Winding Road in its January 2007 issue. To recap, WR took a Corvette Z06 and masked it up with tape, fake fender flares and a hood scoop made from cardboard. The result was a car that looked convincingly like a prototype for the "Blue Devil" super Vette currently being developed by General Motors. The fake "Blue Devil" was then driven around Metro Detroit, which led to the public taking pics of the car and unknowingly submitting them to other media outlets as genuine shots of the "Blue Devil". The shots were then published online by The Car Connection, AutoWeek, MotorTrend and other sites like this one.
We were curious how professional spy photographers reacted to finding out that someone had driven around a faux prototype, perhaps one they themselves could've shot and sold for money to their clients. We asked both Brenda Priddy and Chris Doane, two names you should know if you follow spy shots that we've covered on Autoblog, to give us their take on the prank Winding Road pulled.
You can read a statement prepared by Chris Doane and a short interview with Brenda Priddy after the jump.
It is not uncommon for the prototypes we see in spy photos to be deceiving. Some cars may be comprised of fake body panels, others may be covered in rolls of tape that appear to be inspired by a zebra. Sometimes even the entire shell of a current model car is shoehorned over a chassis that's still in development.
On Friday afternoon, word started getting around on several automotive websites that something was awry with a few current spy photos of a silver corvette purported to be the Blue Devil "super vette." When these photos first hit the web some weeks ago, I knew something wasn't quite right with them. The most glaring issue was the lack of a manufacturer license plate. To me, something also didn't look quite right with the camouflage material. As it turns out, an online automotive magazine, Winding Road, fabricated a mock-up of a test car and drove it around the metro Detroit area.
I'm struggling to see the point of this stunt. I'm sure I will get responses like "Lighten up, it was a joke," but hear me out. If you read the story in the Jan 2007 edition of Winding Road that tells the tale of the fake prototype, the point of the ruse was to deceive other publications into running the photos. The story also chides "Irresponsible speculation has been put forth by Corvette fanatics, magazine editors and competing manufacturers."
If I had to guess, Autoweek, Motor Trend and The Car Connection aren't laughing. All of these outlets published the photos of the fake car on their websites believing it to be an authentic GM prototype. It was, after all, a fairly convincing forgery. Needless to say, this obviously doesn't make those outlets look good in the credibility department. Some of you may think these media outlets don't have any credibility to begin with. That's fine if you think that, but we're talking solely about this particular incident.
I know competition gets fiercer by the day among the various automotive publications, but purposely tricking your competitors borders on something that is less-than-professional journalism. It's certainly not a trend I want to see continue to the point where we have magazines warring with each other much like election time, TV attack ads. In the end, however, whether this stunt is equally or more "irresponsible" than printing speculation is up to all of you to decide.
The bigger issue for me, however, is that the fake corvette hurts the credibility of people like myself, Brenda and others who make their living shooting prototypes for everyone's enjoyment. It didn't take long after the fabrication was revealed for people to start asking if the photos of the black powertrain mule that I photographed back in October were fake as well. Let's answer that right now. No, they are not fake. We have very credible information that this black prototype I shot is a development car for the "super vette" program. For all those worrying that the program is a pipe dream, rest easy. It's very real and it's very loud. The black car I shot wore a typical blue "Michigan Manufacturer," license plate, was with a large group of other GM test cars and was driven by a person I know to be a GM engineer.
Needless to say, we certainly don't want people in the automotive world getting the idea that we fake our spy photos because that is something we NEVER do. If our clients thought we were giving them fabricated photos, we obviously wouldn't be in business very long. We were even offered photos of the fake silver corvette test car by someone via email, but we passed knowing something wasn't quite right with the car. I'm sure it may sound a little funny to hear someone who spies on large corporations for a living talking about his ethical business practices, but we do play by the rules. That is something even the OEMs themselves would tell you.
On a lighter note, the Winding Road crew did a pretty good job making a convincing mock-up. If I'd seen it go past me on the road, I would've turned around to shoot it. I just wouldn't have sent the images out after I got a good look at it on my computer screen. The spy photography business puts me in the unique position of being able to shoot first and ask questions later.
Overall was this meant as a joke? Yes, I think so. I hope so. Were there some unforeseen negative effects? Unfortunately, yes. Hopefully Winding Road and I can agree to disagree on the staging of this prank. I'd hate to lose them as a client. Especially since I'm selling a kidney tomorrow... how else can I afford the plane ticket to Australia to photograph those Camaro prototypes?
-- Chris
AB: What was your reaction to hearing that the Corvette prototype in these spy photos was faked?
Priddy: I was a bit disappointed when I heard about the "prank". Frankly, my major concern was that our actual "spy photos" would lose their value - their creditability. I've already had dozens of e-mails from readers questioning our Blue Devil / Stingray photos, which are in fact actual General Motors' prototypes.
AB: Do you think the prank will negatively effect your business in any way?
Priddy: I think publications will be more careful with "reader's photos" -and several may no longer want to deal with them anymore. It will be harder for the guy down the block to sell a pictures to XXXX Magazine in the future, as the publications will likely only want to deal with the professionals in the future - hoping to avoid such issues.
AB: Why didn't your company buy photos of the Vette in question when they were offered to you?
Priddy: Let's just say that we carefully examine each and every image that arrives in our mailbox. And although we want to distribute more images than any other company, we tend to be rather selective on the photos that we agree to work with.
AB: What do you want auto enthusiasts know about the way you take and screen spy photos before they're sold?
Priddy: When "spy photos" are offered to us by other photographers - professional or amateurs - I ask a lot of questions. Basically I want to make sure that the pictures weren't taken "on the other side of the fence" - and I want to make sure that no laws were broken - such as trespassing. Depending on the circumstances, I tend to ask a lot of questions! As for the photos we personally take - again, we never trespass. Nor do we ever touch the vehicle, or break any laws while getting the perfect shot.

The winner: Remove the handle and cut an inexpensive plastic rake in two to make leaf "paddles." Just use them like big hands to pick up piles of leaves. So much faster and easier than picking them up with my hands! Ann Richardson, Fort Mill, S.C.
The winner: The tutor room door in my school where I was conducting testing was squeaking loudly each time a child entered and exited. The noise was loud and distracting so I took some liquid hand soap and squirted it on the hinges. Voila! No more squeaking! Martha Acquisto, Ms. A, Literacy Facilitator at Torrence Creek Elementary, Huntersville.
The winner: Tests have shown that the main factor in razor blade dulling is not shaving, but microscopic rust that forms on the fine edges. Razors will remain sharp almost indefinitely if, immediately after each use, you thoroughly dry them. The easiest way is to use a blow dryer for just a few seconds. I've been using the same multiblade cartridge for nearly six months and still get a comfortable, smooth shave every morning. George Bohmfalk, Charlotte
The winner: If your dimpled glass shower is like mine, you may be frustrated by the inability to use a squeegee to wipe off the water. My solution: go to your favorite auto parts store or the auto section of your favorite big box store and purchase a pack of microfiber cloths meant for wiping down your car after washing it. I find a 28-by-28-inch cloth to be perfect for wiping down the entire shower, glass and tile. No streaks, and the soap film is wiped away. Give it a try.
The winner: After reading our Charlotte Observer, I use some of it to make starter kindling for our wood-burning stove. Roll about 4 pages into a tight roll and insert into an empty paper towel roller. A bathroom tissue roller can also be used. They burn slowly because of the tightly rolled paper.
The winner: My husband is very uncomfortable wandering the drugstore makeup shelves when I ask him to pick something up for me. And when I explain in detail what I need him to get, he glazes over. The "I'm So Clever" solution was to text him a photo of the item. He simply showed the picture to the sales clerk and he was out of the "dreaded aisle" in seconds. The sales lady commented that she wished more women used this method of communicating with shopping husbands. To quote her: "It sure would make my job a lot easier!" Joyce Shields, Charlotte
The winner: I have a great recycling tip. At work, we often get coffee in boxes for meetings. Rather than trashing the container, I use the inside liner as an ice pack. When it's empty, I take out the silver liner and fill it 3/4 full of water and freeze. The screw-on cap makes it easy to fill and seals water tightly. These are excellent ice packs for coolers. They're nice and long, hold up for a long time and can be used over and over again.
The winner: When I peeled the labels off the front of my new stainless steel dishwasher, they left a residue. I tried the recommended alcohol-water combo to no avail. Windex and Goo-Gone didn't work either. In desperation, I grabbed a paper towel soaked with WD-40 from another project. The marks came right off, and the finish is still perfect. Test an inconspicuous spot first – as I should have. Finishes vary. Carol Cason, Charlotte
The winner: Here's another use for Charlotte Observer plastic bags. Students with allergies/colds often bring their own tissues, but then have to figure out what to do with the used ones. Options include leaving them on the desk or dropping them on the floor. Or getting up frequently to visit the trash can. Instead, I make individual trash bags from Observer bags. I stuff them in a long tissue box on the table by the door for students to grab as they enter. They can throw out the whole thing or carry it to their next class. Germs and mess contained. Happy New Year to all teachers! Mary Wiseman, Charlotte
The winner: Never search for a pot lid again. Hubby hung a shoe rack on the pantry door.

MS Windows 7 Home Premium 64-bit SP1
Error 2753 when installing O2 Home Broadband Assistant
I'm not really sure if this is the right place to ask, but I've been Googling this problem and came across a link to your forums with someone having the same error code, whilst they were trying to install the latest version of Java - Java error 2753
I have been trying to re-install My O2 Home Broadband Assistant (as a newer version) on my laptop, but I keep getting error 2753 and I have no idea how to fix it.
I have ran CCleaner, and fixed all the issues it found; I have tried opening Command Prompt and entering "regsvr32 vbscript.dll" to which I get the message that it has succeeded, but I still get the same error message when I try to install (I have repeated both these actions several times); I have restored my system back to before I uninstalled the older version I had, but this made absolutely no difference.
I know it's not essential that I have the broadband assistant installed, it's just driving me insane as to why it won't install, but I'm really quite a novice when it comes to this.
Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Am I the person to dream?
Blindfolded in your love,
Desire and I give the slip,
Emotion so wrecked,
Hold me within your firm glee,
And charm the caress;
Could I be blind in your love?
Not to see moon lights,
You look at others to smile,
Play havoc a while,
Darken my delights by day,
To relish your nights;
A love wink for you to blush,
Reflects love for me,
Caressed closer by the wind,
You plunge with desire,
Touch me to feast hot quivers,
Charmed and delivered!!!

Finally finished Hawkeye the Hawkguy - stained glass edition! Inspired by the wonderful art of David Aja, and the amazing story of Matt Fraction. This particular frame is, to me, the quintessential Clint Barton - bandages everywhere and drinking straight out of the coffee pot, being all kinds of misunderstood and not taken seriously despite his best efforts.
The wonderful employees of Fantastic Comics of Berkeley have kindly agreed to display the finished piece in their store. If you happen to walk by, take a look-see and maybe find something you like! :D

Thanks for everyone who chimed in on my coworker's daughter's cast. This is what they ended up doing. She very kindly let me put it online, in the hopes that kellysue might reblog or respond to it. That would totally make the kid's day.

Webcam Proctors, Biometrics Verify Online Classes
PBS NewsHour takes a look at what webcam proctoring is like. As online college course companies begin to offer paid, verified classes, they've had to turn to some online tricks for verification.
CREDIT: From "How To Make Sure Online Students Don't Cheat" by PBS NewsHour on YouTube
Did you resolve to learn something new this year? Those who are fulfilling their goals with a free online college course may soon find themselves taking their tests under the watchful eye of a webcam proctor.
ProctorU, a company of live online proctors, is now in talks with Coursera and Udacity, two major startups that run massive, open, online college courses. For students taking tests with ProctorU proctors, the experience looks a bit like doing homework with a friend over Skype, except that proctors will be watching much more carefully than most friends would.
"We're going to very closely monitoring their face, where their attention is and exactly what it is that they're looking at," Jarrod Morgan, ProctorU's vice president, told PBS NewsHour, which reported on the Alabama-based company's talks with Coursera.
The webcam proctoring comes with Coursera and Udacity's introductions of paid, verified classes. The two companies made their names by offering classes, taught by prestigious university professors, to anyone for free. Now, however, Coursera plans to offer students "verified certificates" that will cost $30 to $100, GigaOM reported. Meanwhile, Udacity is working with San Jose State University to offer online-only classes for $150. Those classes are for SJSU students and will be regarded just like any other SJSU class, the New York Times reported.
For Coursera, verification pretty much means the company will do all it can to ensure certificate students aren't cheating. Coursera previously ran into problems with students plagiarizing essays even though the classes didn't count for anything and students were presumably taking them just for fun. Coursera's founders are hoping verified classes will be worth their cost because they'll have more weight on a resume.
Besides webcam proctoring, Coursera's verification methods include a biometric typing test, GigaOM reported.
The Udacity-SJSU deal is an experiment for California, supported by the state and the National Science Foundation. Gov. Jerry Brown hopes that cheap, verified, online courses will help underprepared California freshmen catch up quickly once they start college.

On 17 August 2014, RadioLiveNZ's Mark Sainsbury devoted an hour to discussing workplace health and safety. Given New Zealand has undergone a remarkable change on its occupational health and safety (OHS) strategy since the Pike River disaster, with the restructuring of its regulations and regulator into WorkSafeNZ, the various interviews are worth listening to.
This series of interviews are structured assuming that the audience has no prior knowledge of OHS. The first interview was with a representative of the Accident Compensation Commission, Dr Geraint Emrys.
Dr Emrys lists fishing, forestry, and farming and agriculture as the industries of most concern. This list is not surprising considering the industrial profile of New Zealand but it is curious that mining was not mentioned, even in passing, given the prominence of Pike River.
Emrys is asked about the opportunity to build an overall safety culture for New Zealand. Emrys says that overall campaigns are possible More…

My boss once referred me to a quote from Aristotle,"The whole is greater than the sum of its parts," and one could say that a lifeguard team is based on this wisdom.
As we move closer to summer, it's time to energize the winter staff and get them working as a well-oiled lifeguarding machine.
It's winter and as a supervisor or manager, you're probably busy developing programs and finalizing summer brochures.
In aquatics one simple truth remains paramount: The difference between success and failure is preparation.
If you have been in aquatics for more than a few years, you've probably heard of a Shadow Guard Program.
Well-trained lifeguards will quickly get bored with participating in the same old, tired scenarios that lifeguard instructors often rely on to confirm skills.
Nothing will be more "real" to a lifeguard than a drowning incident.
Let's be clear: We all have limited time, and multiple duties, responsibilities and budgets to work around
Time is money; we all have to work within our labor budgets and we all want to maximize the allotted time available.
The average aquatic management staff is very busy. Staff training, including lifeguard courses, often are conducted at specific times that correspond to available instructor staff, pool space and budget.

Tsim Sha Tsui (TST) is the heart and soul of Hong Kong situated at the very tip of the Kowloon Peninsula and is best reached by taking the scenic Star Ferry across the harbour from Central. Along with Causeway Bay, this area offers you non-stop shopping opportunities from Harbour City to TST East. From the massive Ocean Terminal/Harbour City, head up Peking Road, past the myriad of jewelers, bars and restaurants until you reach Nathan Road. Known as "The Golden Mile", Nathan Road will dazzle you with it's sights, sounds and smells. Chungking Mansions is well worth the visit and is a great spot for some authentic, affordable Indian food. If you still have the energy after tackling "The Golden Mile", why not check out the sidewalks of Granville and Cameron Road, a favourite spot for factory outlet clothing.
If shopping is not your thing and you prefer a more cultural experience while in Hong Kong, TST has the highest concentration of cultural centres and museums in the area. There are numerous hotels and budget accommodations in the area as well, but views of Hong Kong Island on Victoria Harbour will cost you. If all you really need (or can afford!) is a place to lay your head, check out the hostels in the area around Chungking Mansions. No matter where you are staying, the only spot to be seen Sunday afternoons in Tsim Sha Tsui is at The Peninsula Hotel, having high tea. Had enough of TST? Why not catch the Kowloon-Canton Railway up to the Mainland at the terminus in Hunghom, next to the HK Coliseum.
Do not miss the largest high-tech outdoor fountain show in the Centenary Garden in Tsim Sha Tsui East. The show will last 7 minutes with 2 sessions on each 6pm and 8pm on every Tuesday, Thursday, Saturday, starting from Dec 11, 2001 to Feb 26, 2002. This features a "Pillar of Heaven" rising about 20 metres in the air with cascading mist combining with real fire, light, water and music. There will be extra show on 24 , 26, 31 of Dec and 11, 13 of Feb.
The Tsim Sha Tsui Centre and Empire Centre has the largest piece of festive lighting in the world.

This is a fantastic easy recipe to make a delicious garlicky sauce which you can serve with any breads or as part of a salad dressing (it's amazing on hot fresh bread!). I also like to add a tiny bit of za'atar sometimes (see photo).

me me pick me =D i'm hand making everything i can, and i just put the finishing touches on our invites!! =D
We have the tiniest budget for our beachside wedding. EVERYTHING is handmade. Burlap table runners. Small centrepieces. Hanging lanterns. Photobooth. Invitations will be by hand too if I don't win!
We are having a wedding that rocks!! Including making VIP pass invites for the guests and making rock stick favours!! We are making the table centrepieces ourselves somehow with drumsticks involved somewhere as my partner is a drummer!!
What a fab opportunity to make wedding stationary from your own home that looks soo professional. Working to a budget is proving hard but worth while when u can use something as brillant as this to add those extra touches!!!
What a good idea!
We are making everything.
I have started on the bunting, and having a go at knocking up a veil.
I'm working on the cake topper out of wire which is twisted around to make a tree, with green beads as the leaves.
We're having our reception on a farm so I am making lots of wooden signs so guest know exactly where to go.
I'm not so handy with the paper side of things so this looks perfect!
OK. so I am NOT creative at all! I find people who can make anything amazing……however..my budget is reaching its limit….So firstly I have just made my invites, and I actually did ok…so now that I have suddenly found a tiny creative side in me I would like to make the rest of the bits and bobs for my wedding…with a little help!!! So please pick me xx
I've been struggling along for MONTHS in MS Publisher trying to create our stationary. I'm no tech whizz kid so there have been tears and tantrums. This would solve ALL my problems in one go!
That software would be very helpful. We made our own save the date magnets and would be helpful to have some good software to help with invites!
Also planning to make all the decorations, including bunting (miles of it I think) and am currently planning to make the wedding cake myself.
I am making my table centrepieces, i am getting married at xmas so am collecting perfect shape and size sticks and spraying them silver and then i am going to hang baubels from the twigs i am hoping it will look at wintery and frosty! x
Bunting & table decorations are my homemade contributions to our wedding!
Makes me want to get married all over again (to the same person!). I did almost everything for my wedding except the invites – too busy making dresses, flowers etc. But this would have been great. I use Serif software for my business stationery and logos and it's brilliant, so easy to use.
This software looks amazing! What a perfect way to put your own personal stamp on your wedding – it looks so professional – looks like you've spend £100s! And the fact that you can use it for all your decorations, not just invites, is genius! x

23rd Oct: It's time for the Second TV Tropes Halloween Avatar Contest! Details here.
main index
"Greetings, Prophet;
The Great Work begins:
The Messenger has arrived."Angels in America (subtitled A Gay Fantasia on National Themes) is a Pulitzer Prize- and Tony Award-winning play written by Tony Kushner. It is presented in two parts, Millennium Approaches and Perestroika, each of which runs roughly three hours long. The two parts premiered in California in 1991 and 1992, respectively, and were produced on Broadway together in 1993.The play is set in New York City from the fall of 1985 into spring of 1986, during the rise of AIDS awareness, and focuses on an enormous variety of topics, from politics to religion to dysfunctional families. The main story line follows a young gay man named Prior Walter, who has just discovered he is HIV-positive. After subsequently being abandoned by his lover Louis, he receives a vision from Heaven, in which an Angel visits him. She tells him that Heaven once was a paradise, but that human progress creates "earthquakes" in Heaven and after a particularly severe one, God abandoned them. She compels him to go out into the world and tell his fellow humans to stop moving forward, so that God may return.The play is one of the most celebrated theatrical works of the 20th century, and a crucial piece of American theatre in particular, as the title would suggest. Both parts won back-to-back Tony awards and Drama Desk awards for Best Play, and the first was awarded the Pulitzer Prize for Drama. Since its enormous success on Broadway, it has been adapted into a Mini Series and an Opera. It merited inclusion as the last entry in Harold Bloom's highly controversial list of what he considered the greatest works of literature in his book The Western Canon.Tony Kushner specifically notes in the published versions of the script that any and all fantasy elements of the story should be performed as such, as full theatrical special effects. As such, between this and the play's sheer length and complexity, mounting a production is an incredibly daunting task, and productions are few and far between for a play of its notoriety.The cast of the original New York City production in 1992 and 1993:

Forensic Video: Your Best Investigation Tool
Understanding personnel traffic flow will often help camera placement and ultimately the video forensic-review process
Recorded video and related feature data of events is one of the first and most important resources for incident review. But what is available in this data, and what are the opportunities for industrial security, first responders, operations management, safety and loss-prevention professionals? To understand this, we first need to define what is included with this "forensic" video data and then apply a process for its use.
Digital Multimedia Content — more than just video data
Digital Multimedia Content (DMC) is also known as digital video data, IP video content, or Digital Multimedia Evidence (DME). The purpose of referring to this evidence, as "multimedia" is essential in understanding the different digital data categories included. Video content, audio content, metadata-incorporating object characteristics such as color, size, trajectory, location-based information, relevant IP addresses, recording time and system time may be attached or associated with a digital video file. DMC may be compressed or uncompressed and may also be referred to as original, copied, local or virtual. Compressed DMC is the most common video data available that has been transcoded from the original DMC in an industry-standard file format, resulting in a reduced size and network bandwidth required to represent the original data set. Advances in h.264 video compression, the ability to store DMC within the camera or video-encoding device itself and virtualized or cloud computing have dramatically improved the volume and duration of video data available to investigations.
Uncompressed DMC or a copy of the original DMC with no further compression or loss of information that is in an industry-standard file format — although desirable by professional video-evidence examiners — is often unavailable and can be an unreasonable expectation due to the far larger storage requirements. Given the choice between having compressed video evidence that can be used together with other data, still-image photography is what most security professionals prefer.
Forensic Review
The act of applying forensic video technology to this DMC defines "forensic video review." Some of these review tasks include playback and analysis of DMC, together with applying a scientific methodology of forensic video analysis.
Also important is the use of DMC evidence in the legal setting, performing data recovery as needed, performing forensic image comparison and the development of a visual presentation of evidence.
DMC authentication and tamper detection are examples of maintaining the chain of custody for DMC evidence as specified under Law Enforcement and Emergency Services Video Association "Guidelines for the Best Practice in the Forensic Analysis of Video Evidence."
Design considerations
Applying an understanding of the effect of light on the scene can improve the image quality of the video content. Advances in camera technology that produce usable color or "find the light" in dark- or low-illumination scenes are improving forensic video content.
The design of the video solution to provide maximum coverage is of great importance for systems used for forensic review. Using standards-based, high-image quality sources like HDTV IP cameras and technologies to accommodate difficult lighting will improve the recorded image quality.
Video content analysis
Applications that use video analytics can perform complex repetitive functions such as object detection and recognition simultaneously on many channels of video. These tools can provide improved searches, based on object characteristics and behavior.

Has anyone had any luck with ag without malting the grains and using amylase?
I know this is an old post but what the hell...
Millet - Have to use unhulled millet. German or Red. Soak 8-14, rinse2 -3 times a day thereafter in a sprouter, about 3 days total time to fully modified. I've heard you can sprout this in a refrigerator.
Buckwheat - Can use groats or whole grain. same as above only you can soak it for less time and it sprouts faster. about 2.5 days to fully modified.
Sorghum/milo - Whole grain. Same as above.
I have sprouted rice, not sure if there is any value to this for the sake of brewing, but rice likes higher temps, so it take a lot longer at room temp, 4-5 days.
I created sprouters from ziplock reusable tupperware tubs, drilled holes in the side up high for air and poked small holes in the bottom for rinsing/drainage.
I dried in a dehydrator at around 100F for 8-12 hours.
Any idea of the diastatic power of each?
I have heard that Millet is good, Sorghum is best, Buckwheat is fair. Don't know about amaranth, teff or rice.

Survey hints that Sony's NGP might be reasonably priced
News on Sony's PSP2 or "NGP" as it's still dubbed has been little and scarce since its unveil in late January. A third-party survey that's purported to be sponsored by game publishing giant Ubisoft suggests possible pricing for two models of the NGP. And it's actually not that bad if it's not totally off the mark.
Falling in line with what we've already heard, the NGP "is expected to be around $350" for the 3G model and about $250 for the standard Wi-Fi-only model. Unlike the 3DS, for $250-$350, you're getting a pretty powerful quad-core machine that can pump out near PS3-quality games controlled with two proper analog sticks, a large touchpad panel on the back — all on a large crisp five-inch OLED screen. All that for sub-$400 is a lot of bang for buck.
For $250, the NGP would be able to go head-to-head against the Nintendo 3DS — a machine that will sell for the same price on March 27 in the U.S. As far as 3G goes, Apple charges $150 extra for iPads with 3G, so an extra $100 for a 3G NGP isn't completely absurd.
But, before you start galloping on your unicorn, keep in mind that this was a third-party survey conducted on behalf of Ubisoft. It's not indicative of any official pricing. We'll all have to wait for the official word from Sony's mouth before we cheer — if this info is even remotely close to the final pricing.
Combined with the talk that the NGP could see a release on November 11 in Europe this year, this holiday season might be one to get ready to rumble for.

There is no more exciting time to be a wrestling fan than when WrestleMania comes around. This year's card has 7 matches scheduled for the main card, as well as a Pre-Show match. Three of Daily DDT's finest, Andrew Ravens, Stephen Ajamie, and myself, Mike Smith, are here to break it all down for you.
We start with the WWE Tag Team Title Match, where The Usos will put their titles on the line on the WrestleMania Pre-Show, before the big event on April 6th.
Following a beat down of The Shield on SmackDown two weeks ago, Kane granted The Real Americans and Rybaxel a tag title shot, and they're getting it here. As for Los Matadores, they snuck into this one with a Raw win over Rybaxel two weeks ago (cue Zeb Colter "sneak across our borders" joke).
Andrew's Take: Personally, I think maybe this ought to have been on the main show, with the battle royal being on the Pre-Show. However, I understand why, but I don't appreciate it. However, I do not understand why Los Matadores and Rybaxel are in a tag team title match at WrestleMania XXX; yeah, I don't agree. You have the Rhodes Brothers, who are former tag team champions, not in this match. Also, you have The Wyatt Family, with Luke Harper and Eric Rowan that are not even in a match. I think The Usos retain as they have no real competition in the tag division.
Andrew's Prediction: The Usos Retain
Stephen's Take: Los Matadores and Rybaxel aren't winning this match, so it comes down to either The Usos retaining or somehow The Real Americans take the titles. Just like The Shield not breaking up, I'm surprised we haven't seen the split of Cesaro and Swagger. Cesaro just looks primed for a great singles run, but hey, if they want to give him the tag titles for a short run with Swagger, go for it. I do believe ultimately The Usos will retain as they just won the tag team titles a short while ago, and they are guys that have been together enough to get a good run themselves with the titles.
Stephen's Prediction: Usos to retain their titles
Mike's Take: Andrew and Stephen both hit the nail on the head, as far as Rybaxel and Los Matadoes go. The titles aren't going to either one of those teams, so the only real contenders are The Real Americans. I just don't see The Real Americans winning though, they aren't going to last as a team much longer. There will be no better time for Cesaro to split from Swagger and take off as a singles star, than in the aftermath of WrestleMania. It's also not time for The Usos to lose the titles. They have been the most exciting part of the tag division since Team Hell No, not counting The Shield because they are a three-man team, and they have yet to truly make the most of their title run.
Mike's Prediction: The Usos retain the titles
There's plenty more to come throughout the weekend. Please check out our preview for the Divas Championship Match and Daniel Bryan vs. Triple H. Check back here at Daily DDT for more match previews on Saturday at 2 pm EST, and Sunday at 10 am EST.

The Letter Lyrics - Marianne Faithfull
One grows weary of everything, my angel. It is the law of nature, it is not my fault.
If for example I had as much love as you have virtue, and that is surely saying a lot, is it not astonishing that we should end at the same time as the other ? It is not my fault.
From this, it follows that for some time I have been deceiving you. But then, your pitiless affection forced me as it were to do so. It is not my fault.
Today, a woman I love madly insists that I sacrifice you to her. It is not my fault.
I realise that this is a fine opportunity for crying out on perjury, but if nature's only given men assurance, or if she gave women obstinacy, it is not my fault.
Take my advice: choose another lover, as I have chosen another mistress. This is good advice. Very good. If you think it bad, it is not my fault.
Farewell, my angel, I took you with pleasure, I abandon you without regret. Perhaps I will come back, to you. So goes the world, it is not my fault.
