There's ample direct evidence for the existence of galactic and stellar mass black holes. However, there is no such direct evidence of primordial black holes, those formed after the Big Bang. A recent paper [http://arxiv.org/abs/1106.0011] describes oscillations the Sun might undergo if it encountered a primordial black hole. The theory that primordial black holes exist hasn't had experimental backing. Why should one believe they actually exist? Is this science or "guesstimating?"
It's theory.
Why do you imagine that every reasonable theory will have or not have experimental justification right away? Some experiments or observations are hard or just take a lot of time.
The question might be asked as to why the universe did not produce a gas of black holes? The universe started out at a very low entropy, and black holes have entropy proportional to their horizon areas. So there could not have been a lot of primordial black holes in the early universe.
The lifetime of a black hole is $$ t~=~\frac{5120\pi G^2M^3}{\hbar c^4}. $$ A black hole generated at the start of the universe and a mass of $1.7\times 10^{11}$ kg would Hawking evaporate about now. The final explosion would involve the quick conversion of mass into energy, where $10^5$ kg would be converted into energy in around a second. This is a considerable explosion, but it is less than conversion rate of matter by a star. So this is not as easy as looking at supernovae if primordial black holes are very distant. Also the energy would largely be in the gamma ray domain. The energy output would be a chirp function in its frequency increase and energy. The primordial black hole needs to explode in our local neighborhood. The actual dynamics of the explosion needs further examination, which I am sure is in the literature.
The Chandra satellite could pick up primordial black hole explosion, but so far nothing like this has been found. The lack of such detection gives weight to the estimate that the universe had a very low entropy at the start.

- Moreau Center for Service & Leadership Resources
Library: Moreau Center
In cooperation with the University's Moreau Center for Service & Leadership, the Clark Library provides resources to support the Center's efforts to create a more just, peaceful, and compassionate world. The following items are included on the Moreau Center's recommended resource list. The annotations are drawn from a variety of review and summary sources.
Claiborne, S. (2006). The irresistible revolution: Living as an ordinary radical. Grand Rapids, MI: Zondervan.
Many of us find ourselves caught somewhere between unbelieving activists and inactive believers. We can write a check to feed starving children or hold signs in the streets and feel like we've made a difference without ever encountering the faces of the suffering masses. In this book, Shane Claiborne describes an authentic faith rooted in belief, action, and love, inviting us into a movement of the Spirit that begins inside each of us and extends into a broken world. Shane's faith led him to dress the wounds of lepers with Mother Teresa, visit families in Iraq amidst bombings, and dump $10,000 in coins and bills on Wall Street to redistribute wealth. Shane lives out this revolution each day in his local neighborhood, an impoverished community in North Philadelphia, by living among the homeless, helping local kids with homework, and "practicing resurrection" in the forgotten places of our world.
Ehrenreich, B. (2001). Nickel and dimed: On (not) getting by in America. New York, NY: Metropolitan Books.
Millions of Americans work full-time, year-round, for poverty-level wages. In 1998, Barbara Ehrenreich decided to join them. She was inspired in part by the rhetoric surrounding welfare reform, which promised that a job -- any job -- could be the ticket to a better life. But how does anyone survive, let alone prosper, on six to seven dollars an hour? To find out, Ehrenreich left her home, took the cheapest lodgings she could find, and accepted whatever jobs she was offered as a woefully inexperienced homemaker returning to the workforce. So began a grueling, hair raising, and darkly funny odyssey through the underside of working America. Moving from Florida to Maine to Minnesota, Ehrenreich worked as a waitress, a hotel maid, a cleaning woman, a nursing home aide, and a Wal-Mart sales clerk. Very quickly, she discovered that no job is truly "unskilled," that even the lowliest occupations require exhausting mental and muscular effort. She also learned that one job is not enough; you need at least two if you intend to live indoors.
Hachmyer, C. (2008). Alternatives to the Peace Corps: A guide to global volunteer opportunities (12th ed.). Oakland, CA: Food First Books.
Want to work on a volunteer project that really matters but don't know where to start looking? Alternatives to the Peace Corps is the original resource for finding community-based, grassroots volunteer work-the kind of work that changes the world, one person at at time.
Haugen, G. A. (1999). Good news about injustice: A witness of courage in a hurting world. Downers Grove, IL: InterVarsity Press.
The good news about injustice is that God is against it. God is in the business of using the unlikely to accomplish justice and mercy. In Gary Haugen's challenging and encouraging book he offers stories of courageous Christians who have stood up for justice in the face of human trafficking, forced prostitution, racial and religious persecution, and torture.
Kidder, T. (2003). Mountains beyond mountains. New York, NY: Random House.
At the center of Tracy Kidder's powerful and inspiring book is Dr. Paul Farmer. Harvard professor, renowned infectious-disease specialist, anthropologist, recipient of a MacArthur genius grant, world-class Robin Hood, Farmer was brought up in a bus and on a boat, and in medical school found his life's calling: to diagnose and cure infectious diseases and to bring the lifesaving tools of modern medicine to those who need them most. This magnificent account shows how radical change can be fostered in situations that seem insurmountable, and how one person can make a difference in solving global health problems through his clear-eyed understanding of how politics, wealth, social systems, and disease interact.
Korzen, C., & Kelley, A. K. (2008). A nation for all: How the Catholic vision of the common good can save America from the politics of division. San Francisco, CA: Jossey-Bass.
On the eve of the most important presidential election in decades, A Nation for All sounds the trumpet to the tens of millions of U.S. Catholics who have refused to buy the notion that people of faith must subscribe to the narrow agenda of the far right. By shining the light of authentic Catholic teaching on pressing contemporary concerns like war, human dignity, poverty, and the looming global climate crisis, this book shows Catholics how their own faith tradition calls them to tackle a sweeping array of issues commonly left out of the faith and politics dialog.
Kotlowitz, A. (1991). There are no children here: The story of two boys growing up in the other America. New York, NY: Doubleday.
One of the surprise bestsellers of 1991, this is the moving & powerful account of two remarkable boys struggling to survive in Chicago's Henry Horner Homes, a public housing complex disfigured by crime & neglect. "Alex Kotlowitz joins the ranks of the important few writers on the subject of urban poverty." This is the moving and powerful account of two remarkable boys struggling to survive in Chicago's Henry Horner Homes, a public housing complex disfigured by crime and neglect.
Lanier, S. A. (2000). Foreign to familiar: A guide to understanding hot- and cold-climate cultures. Hagerstown, MD: McDougal Pub.
If the world were roughly divided into "hot climate" and "cold climate" cultures, what could one half of humankind learn from the other? Lanier---the daughter of missionaries and an experienced world traveler---writes insightfully on topics including relationship vs. task orientation; direct vs. indirect communication; individualism vs. group identity; and different concepts of hospitality.
Mueller, S. L., & Overmann, M. (2008). Working world: Careers in international education, exchange, and development. Washington, DC: Georgetown University Press.
To help the job seeker chart the best course, Working World provides specific resources including annotated lists of selected organizations, websites, and further reading. Profiles of twelve professionals, from promising young associates to presidents and CEOs, illustrate the book's main topics. Each professional provides insight into his or her career choices, distills lessons learned, and offers practical advice about building a career in international affairs. All of these resources were chosen specifically to help job seekers map the next steps toward the internship, job, or other opportunity that will give shape to the career they envision.
Rougeau, V. D. (2008). Christians in the American empire: Faith and citizenship in the new world order. New York, NY: Oxford University Press.
What does it mean to be a Christian citizen of the United States today? This book challenges the argument that the United States is a Christian nation, and that the American founding and the American Constitution can be linked to a Christian understanding of the state and society. Vincent Rougeau argues that the United States has become an economic empire of consumer citizens, led by elites who seek to secure American political and economic dominance around the world. Freedom and democracy for the oppressed are the public themes put forward to justify this dominance, but the driving force behind American hegemony is the need to sustain economic growth and maintain social peace in the United States.
Sider, R. J. (1990). Rich Christians in an age of hunger. Dallas, TX: Word Pub.
Contrasting the affluent West with the needy Third World, the author offers a biblical perspective on poverty and wealth, and practical suggestions towards redressing the world's economic imbalance.
Sleeth, J. M. (2007). Serve god, save the planet: A Christian call to action. Grand Rapids, MI: Zondervan.
Not long ago, J. Matthew Sleeth had a fantastic life and a great job as chief of the medical staff at a large hospital. He was living the American dream until he saw an increasing number of his patients suffering from cancer, asthma, and other chronic diseases. He began to suspect that the Earth and its inhabitants were in deep trouble. Turning to Jesus for guidance, Sleeth discovered how the scriptural lessons of personal responsibility, simplicity, and stewardship could be applied to modern life. The Sleeths have since sold their big home and given away more than half of what they once owned. In Serve God, Save the Planet, Sleeth shares the joy of adopting a less materialistic, healthier lifestyle, stronger relationships, and richer spiritual lives. With the storytelling ease of James Herriot and the logical clarity of C. S. Lewis, Sleeth lays out the rationale for environmentally responsible life changes and a how-to guide for making those changes. Creation is groaning. And Matthew Sleeth has responded. Serve God, Save the Planet is not an alarmist call of despair, but a hopeful invitation to re-imagine the way we live. Sleeth's words have the urgency of an ER crisis coupled with the deep faith that the Church is ready to join God in healing the wounded world.
Wallis, J. (2005). God's politics: Why the right gets it wrong and the left doesn't get it. San Francisco, CA: HarperSanFrancisco
Argues that America's separation of church and state is unrealistic, and maintains that each be held accountable to key values of progressive religious tradition.
Wallis, J. (2008). The great awakening: Reviving faith & politics in a post-religious right America. New York, NY: HarperOne.
Religious faith was a driving force behind our greatest national reforms, such as the abolition of slavery and the civil rights movement. These "great awakenings" happened periodically at crucial times in our nation's history to propel us toward the common good. The time is ripe for another movement that will transform this country. With The Great Awakening, Wallis rediscovers our moral center and provides both the needed inspiration and a concrete plan to hold politics accountable and find solutions to our greatest challenges.
Yankoski, M. (2005). Under the overpass. Sisters, OR: Multnomah Publishers.
Mike Yankoski's journey as a homeless man for five months in an attempt to test the strength of his Christian faith.

There is a nice feature in bash, about localization (language translation):
echo $"system boot"
démarrage système
(Nota: For this work,
fr_CH.utf8 was already generated on your system... Else you may try with your own locale... or install
locales and generate one.)
The problem:
But if this work fine with simple strings, when string contain a
\n (or worst: a backtick
` things are more complicated:
echo $"Written by %s, %s, %s,\nand %s.\n"
Written by %s, %s, %s,\nand %s.\n
This is not attended answer.
(Nota2: For this work, exact message has to be prepared in
.mo message file, in this sample/test, I use existant
coreutils.mo files, which could be unformated with the command
At all, the only way I've found to do the translation is:
eval echo \$\"$'Written by %s, %s, %s,\nand %s.\n'\"
Écrit par %s, %s, %s,
et %s.
msg=$'Written by %s, %s, %s,\nand %s.\n'
eval echo \$\""$msg"\"
Écrit par %s, %s, %s,
et %s.
(You could see two double quotes... not very sexy...)
And finally I could:
WRITTERS=(Hans Pierre Jackob Heliott)
eval printf \$\""$msg"\" ${WRITTERS[@]}
Écrit par Hans, Pierre, Jackob,
et Heliott.
But as I've heard recently that eval is evil... ;-)
In fact, I don't have problem with an
eval that's run with only hard coded part, but I would appreciate a way to keep this eval out and to write this kind of part in a more natural or readable manner.
At all @techno 's answer let me see that my first idea is something dangerous as if
WRITTERS contain some
;ls, for sample...
Edit: So question is:
How could I keep this
eval out and/or write this in a more sexy fashion
$ printf "I use bash %s on Debian %s\n" $BASH_VERSION $(</etc/debian_version)
I use bash 4.1.5(1)-release on Debian 6.0.6

"And she brought forth her firstborn son, and wrapped him in swaddling clothes, and laid him in a manger; because there was no room for them in the inn.
And there were in the same country shepherds abiding in the field, keeping watch over their flock by night.
And, lo, the angel of the Lord came upon them, and the glory of the Lord shone round about them: and they were sore afraid.
And the angel said unto them, Fear not: for, behold, I bring you good tidings of great joy, which shall be to all people.
For unto you is born this day in the city of David a Saviour, which is Christ the Lord.
And this shall be a sign unto you; Ye shall find the babe wrapped in swaddling clothes, lying in a manger.
And suddenly there was with the angel a multitude of the heavenly host praising God, and saying,
Glory to God in the highest, and on earth peace, good will toward men.
And it came to pass, as the angels were gone away from them into heaven, the shepherds said one to another, Let us now go even unto Bethlehem, and see this thing which is come to pass, which the Lord hath made known unto us.
And they came with haste, and found Mary, and Joseph, and the babe lying in a manger.
And when they had seen it, they made known abroad the saying which was told them concerning this child.
And all they that heard it wondered at those things which were told them by the shepherds.
But Mary kept all these things, and pondered them in her heart.
And the shepherds returned, glorifying and praising God for all the things that they had heard and seen, as it was told unto them.
And when eight days were accomplished for the circumcising of the child, his name was called JESUS, which was so named of the angel before he was conceived in the womb." - Luke 2: 7-21
Merry Christmas!
Can you imagine if you were one of the shepherds that night and called off?
"(Cough, cough) Hi. God? (Cough, cough). I am sick. I won't be there to tend to the flock. Yeah, sorry."
Of course, you did so before your scheduled two days off.
So, 72 hours later, you head back to the field only to hear the other shepherds talking about that night.
"And, where were you?"
"I called off."
"You don't call off. You crawl in."
"I was sick."
"Yeah, right. Anyway, your loss. This angel appeared and told us about Christ the Lord. So, off we went to Bethlehem to see this babe lying in a manger. Dude, you missed it."
"What's the big deal? I got three days off in a row. Nothing is better than that."
"No. You don't get it. We became messengers for God. We made known abroad the saying with was told to us. People we told wondered if we were telling the truth. And, when we returned we knew we told the truth to everyone. We praised God for what he had done for us. And, all because we were keeping watch over our flock by night."
"Really, I was sick."
"You stick to your story and we'll stick to ours."
The shepherds were abiding in the field, keeping watch over their flock by night.
There were where they were supposed to be.
They didn't (cough, cough) call off.
They didn't (cough, cough) miss practice because they didn't want to go.
They didn't (cough, cough) slough off their duties and let someone else take over.
They were abiding in the field.
The shepherds were continuing without change; enduring; steadfast. They had an abiding faith.
Synonyms for abiding are: ageless, continuing, dateless, enduring, eternal, everlasting, immortal, imperishable, lasting, ongoing, perennial, perpetual, timeless, undying.
Do you have any idea how many blessings you miss when you called off of work, missed a practice or are late to a practice because you just didn't feel like getting up?
Do you have any idea how you missed being a blessing to someone because of those same reasons?
Do you have any idea the coach was going to insert you into the starting lineup that day in practice - the same practice you blew off?
We make way too many excuses for not doing things.
You don't want to go to work because you feel bad, don't go. But, what are you teaching others?
Do you think Cal Ripken Jr. felt 100 percent each morning he woke up during his streak that lasted 2,632 consecutive games played?
He played in every game from May 30, 1982 to Sept. 19, 1998.
Ripken played in over 8,000 consecutive innings from June 5, 1982 to Sept. 14, 1987.
Ripken made the decision not to play on Sept. 20, 1998, the Orioles' last home game of the season.
Brett Favre made 297 straight starts as an NFL quarterback.
You think he was 100 percent each morning he woke up on a game day?
He started every game from Sept. 27, 1992 to Dec. 5, 2010, and that includes 24 more playoff games for a streak of 321 games.
Peyton Manning is next in line with 206 straight regular-season starts and an addition 18 in the playoffs.
Ron Jaworski held the old mark at 116 straight starts in the regular season.
That's "abiding in the field."
Synonyms: celerity, fastness, fleetness, speed, hurry, quickness, rapidity, rapidness, speediness, swiftness, velocity.
Antonyms: slowness, sluggishness.
Haste: rapidity of motion, swiftness; rash or headlong action: precipitateness; undue eagerness to act.
Haste back in the day meant if my dad told me to do something, I had about 1.8 seconds to move to get the job done.
In today's world, it's more like 1.8 minutes for a kid to actually get off their keyster to do something.
Haste back in the day meant when I heard my dad whistle and I was not on my way home with swiftness, some mother would come out of the house with quickness and tell me that I best hurry home before my butt rapidly became more and more sore.
When coaches move from drill to drill, they are looking to see which kids do so with haste and to see which kids do so with waste.
They are also looking to see how a kid performs in a drill, with fleetness or with sluggishness.
What the coach calls your name, how fast do you get off the bench?
The shepherds "came with haste, and found Mary, and Joseph, and the babe lying in a manger."
Imagine if they were in today's world and go to when they got to it.
Imagine the blessings they would have missed?
But, they didn't.
They did as was told.
They were faithful in what was said to them by "the angel of the Lord."

I know that washing basil weakens it's flavor significantly. I often buy it from local supermarkets where everyone can touch it, that's why I just have to wash it. But even when I buy organic basil, I still feel the urge to wash it. How do you deal with that? Is there any way to 'wash' the basil without weaken it's flavour?
People generally wash fruit and vegetables (organic or not) to remove surface contamination ,and the bacteria it may host, from the farm and supply chain
This includes soil (ground based animal faeces), compost (rotted vegetable matter), airborne dropped bird faeces, road dust (often high in animal faeces), and other surface contamination that can host bacteria
A short and simple wash by hand in a bowl or sink of cold tap water will remove large amounts of these surface contamination from most fruit and vegetables. Some may require light brushing or scrubbing. And for best results rinse in running cold tap water after washing. Shaking water off usually works better than trying to blot it off with a tea towel
Gentle washing will NOT remove any significant flavour or aromas. Think about what happens when it rains :-)
If you feel the urge to wash it before using, then wash it. The stress of not having washed it is not worth it.
I used to work in the Adelaide Central Markets, and having seen what some people did before touching the produce, I habitually wash goods that were within reach of the public before I use them. When you've seen customers stick their hand in their pants to scratch their butt and straight afterwards pick up the fruit, you get a bit paranoid.
I accept that most of the time, I don't need to wash the produce. I also accept that that does not matter to my brain what I tell it, if it wants me to wash the stuff before using it, it's not worth arguing.
When I do wash my ingredients, I don't dry them immediately. Instead, I leave them in the dish drainer on the sink while I do another part of meal preparation. Most of the water will drain away without having to put in any effort, and what's left can be shaken off or blotted, depending on how fragile I feel the ingredients are.
The other way you can deal with feeling the urge to wash produce before using it is to grow your own, or acquire it from a friend or relative. I get my basil from my Dad, who always grows about ten times as much as my parents will use.
Washing basil (or indeed, anything) in lukewarm water is going to do very little to remove germs; in fact, you're probably just giving them an excuse to party.
Basil is easy to grow in a pot on a warm windowsill, so perhaps you could grow your own and avoid any misgivings about the hygiene aspects that way?

The Okeechobee County Sheriff's Office Auxiliary Deputy Sheriff Unit supports the Sheriff's Office in both operational and administrative functions. With the assistance of the Auxiliary Deputy Sheriff Unit, the Sheriff's Office is able to maximize the availability of our deputies to the community. The unit is comprised of non-paid volunteer citizens from Okeechobee County. Auxiliary Deputy Sheriffs have the unique opportunity to participate in the working relationship between local law enforcement and the community while assisting deputies with their routine duties and special events throughout Okeechobee County.
On July 17, 2014, three members of the Okeechobee County Sheriff's Office Auxiliary Unit were promoted. Keith Pearce has been with the OCSO unit since 8/29/90, and was promoted to the rank of Captain.
Jason Egger has been with the OCSO unit since 6/11/07 and was promoted to the rank of Lieutenant.
Crispin Bottari has been with the OCSO unit since 6/11/07 and was promoted to the rank of Sergeant.
Sheriff Paul May said of the promotions, "We thank these gentlemen for the contributions to Okeechobee County and our department. They and the other auxiliary officers risk their lives for no pay, they do it just for the satisfaction of helping their community and their fellow officers. It don't get any better than that!"
Congratulations to all of you!


text: You didn't think I was going to upload a lesson on just WileyKat did you? You know I had to go and upload a tutorial on his twin sister. I mean, what kind of artist would I be if I didn't teach you "how to draw WileyKit", step by step? One of the reasons why I like these kittens is because they sort of remind me of my younger brother and sister and how they act towards each other and how close they are. WileyKit is the one that is a bit more adventurous and she also likes to take a lot more risks then her twin brother. Together the Thunderkittens do their part to capture evil doers and bad guys. They often use tactical tricks to lure them into traps. Aside from the tricks, WileyKit and Kat also ride on their space boards that look a lot like today's surfboards. Anyways, she is a lovable looking character from the Thundercats series, and if you have become a fan of the show, you should enjoy this lesson on drawing WileyKit too. She is a simple character to draw, and when you are done you can align all of the ThunderCats characters in a row and show everyone what you have done. Thanks for joining me today with this tutorial, be sure to stick around because there is a lot more on the way. Peace people!

I'm a developer and it's VERY annoying having Chrome suggest all my personal address information in forms one web sites I'm developing on running on my local machine. Is disabling Autofill on localhost, or a domain, or an IP address possible? I'm not seeing anything in the advanced settings.
I recently answered another question with the same requirement of customizing features of Chrome (and also inspired from @Paul).
Create a Chrome extension that uses the "match filter host" of the Chrome API, and filter your custom
We proceed with these steps:
This is the result:
This system is very simple, and you can customize the file script.js with your own control code. In the future you may add other scripts, CSS, configuration pages, etc. Remember that every time you will make changes in the file script.js you should reload the plugin with CtrlR.
Also you can get a more detiled guide about how to create Chrome extensions.
The other answers regarding using a second profile or installing a second version of Chrome should work fine. I'm taking a different angle only to provide another option, not because I think this is a better way of doing it.
As you are developing a website locally, simply include the jQuery library and a jQuery script with the following code:
This turns auto-fill off for all inputs on the webpage. Used in conjunction with a server-side include file (in the head) means it would be very easy to add this during testing and remove it for production for an entire website.
Unfortunately, Google Chrome does not have a per-site filtering option for auto-fill.
One alternative is to use the Lastpass Chrome extension, where you can decide which field to be remembered on a per-site basis.
The other alternative is by creating a new user profile Chrome settings -> Users -> Add new user or installing different versions of chrome (Chrome Stable / Beta / Dev, Chrome Canary, or Chromium).
One solution (for test purposes) would be to Add new use profile without Autofill.
Use this profile while testing to avoid Autofill.
Could achieve their purpose with Autofill extension.
I think it has all the features you are looking for.

I'm looking for a DSL for Selenium (or another testing tool) that will allow a non-programmer to automate functional tests.
Sign up
- Anybody can ask a question
- Anybody can answer
- The best answers are voted up and rise to the top
A very big problem is that we are wasting a lot of time to find and learn the tool instead of just do what you want in "pure" language.
DSL is a set of subroutines that just have a specific name for your domain and do some domain-specific stuff.
You can create such procedures/functions/methods whatever on any languages of you've chosen.
You can create such subroutines on any languages: Java, C#, Ruby, Perl, Python
You do not need any tools to start creating the tests. But then, when you have a strong Automation Layer – you could add any tool you want, but any tool is not required for you to create readable tests.
The knowledge of the programming language, OOP, and best practices is the only tools you need at the beginning. Use "pure" programming language to create the DSL for your project.

Brian, test automation is programming the automated tests, isn't it? Those keywords, like go_to_the_catalog() can be implemented by developers, and can be used by "non-programmers" later.
It is not so hard to create the tutorials how to create and run the automated tests and document all the keywords for the "non-programmers", so those people would be able to combine and reuse the keywords.
In my opinion, thinking that the basic programming knowledge for "non-programmers" (variables, loops, subroutines) is hard to understand – is misconception. Let's say, What popular test automation tools have you seen that does not require basic programming skills? Is it SilkTest? QTP? Rational Robot? Ranorex?
Each of those tools is popular and require programming skills. Even in the Selenium IDE when some of the locators fail you have two options: do some programming and change locator or re-record all the entire test.
Using Fitnesse or Cucumber or Robot Framework you will also need to program your own keywords. The same approach can be used in the pure programming language:
In addition to the ones Dan mentioned, take a look at:
I believe Cucumber is an alternative. There is also an artical on MSDN about doing acceptance testing with IronRuby and RSpec with RSpec filling the role of FitNesse I believe.
I have not used any of these though just as an aside.
The best DSL I've found for WebDriver in Java world is Geb. Fatures I like the most
Thucydides is here. It allows groovy and is very succinct in comparison to java for writing Selenium tests.

I did a fresh install of Xubuntu 11.04 on a clean disk. CPU Athlon 64 X2 3600+, 1 GiB of RAM. The machine is about 5 years old and works like a charm normally. Buuut: The normal boot takes about 4 minutes with XU 11.04, including a 3 minute pause time where the machine does nothing (see bootchart 1, kern.log (see lines around 742). If I add "noapic nolapic acpi=off" the boot time is reduced a lot, but there's still a pause of approximately half a minute (see second bootchart image in above link). I also tried disabling legacy USB support in BIOS (didn't change anything).
Especially since there's still a lot of pause in the second boot I'm wondering if there's anything else to help it.
Secondly the first bootchart is making me wonder how the times in there are given. It states the boot process finished after less than a minute which obviously is wrong if you look in the kern.log. Is there something that makes the system like completely frozen in that period of time where it does nothing so bootchart can't even account the time?
Regards, Chris

Velodyne made our debut at the CEA Line show this year. For two days, June 27-28, 2012 we had a booth at the Metropolitan Pavillion in New York City. Everyone's question for us seemed to be, "What's new here?" Well, we did have a few new things to share with the world!
We shared two of our one-of-a kind artist series subwoofers that were previously only introduced at the Subzero Festival in San Jose, CA on June 1, 2012. We had a slideshow in the background that demonstrated one of the artist's subwoofers in process from start to finish. These beauties generated a lot of attention. We had non-stop traffic at our table and everyone wanted to know how they could get their hands on one of them! This is something we are potentially exploring and we were happy to get the "market research" we needed to gauge demand.
We also had the biggest debut of the show….our pink vPulse in-ear headphones which are being promoted by the talented (and beautiful) pop star Kat Deluna. These are not yet available for purchase, so stay tuned for the latest news here at Velodyne!
DJ Francisco Lozano and the hosted cocktails for our special guests got everyone warmed up. Nothing could prepare us for the knockout of the night, The Symphony Crack Orchestra. The combination of the intense violin music of Ashanti Floyd and his rocking band mesmerized everyone!
The Magnificent DJ Jazzy Jeff spun his magic for us for a few hours and got everyone up on their feet. He truly is a legendary DJ, and now the Velodyne team knows why firsthand!
We all had the pleasure of Kat Deluna's company. She WOWED us all by giving us an exclusive debut of the new single from her forthcoming album ViVa! Everyone was so excited. It truly was the highlight of our night. Her fans are already going crazy for the pink vPulse.
The party continued for several hours, with a mix of celebs, industry people, entourages, execs and fans. A fantastic time was had by everyone in attendance. It truly was an unforgettable evening. It's fair to say Velodyne rocked CE Week! Until next year!

I have been studying measure theory of late, and i was stuck up in these two things.
BOUNDED CONVERGENCE THEOREM: It states that $f_n$ is a sequence of measurable functions, defined on a measurable set $E$ and if $f_{n} \to f$ pointwise on $E$,and is $f_{n}$ is uniformly bounded, that is if $|f_{n}(x)| \leq M$ for each $x$ and $n \in \mathbb{N}$ then $$ \lim \int f_{n} = \int f$$
Could anyone tell me as to why this will fail if we don't assume the uniformly bounded criterion. Please elaborate.

Would you get a DNA or finger print portrait?
Have you ever heard of DNA or finger print portrait art? The basic idea of this type of art involves taking your DNA or Finger print and applying it in portrait form, in an artistic way, would you pay to have this done to your DNA or finger print, and doesn't it seem a little strange?
9 Answers answer
not only strange but silly too.
why would you want to advertise (which is what a picture basically is) something that is supposed to be so personnal?
@moosezilla: I agree 100%. But, some of the designs are pretty cool :) I personally would never do it.
Didn't they have a sponsored deal for these not to long ago?
yes. just for the chance, when the wife says "what's wrong with you!?", to point to a specific place on the DNA portrait and say "right there!"
Plus it could help the police identify your body.
Not as art, but I have been playing around with the idea of tracing my genetic ancestry using https://www.23andme.com/. This is the same company featured on PBS' Finding Your Roots hosted by Louis Henry Gates,Jr. And then paranoia & fear of The Man creeps in. I wonder if fear of ones government is genetic?
@carl669: Ha ha, nice one.
@moosezilla: Because the average person can't interpret the painting, so it doesn't really reveal anything to them other than it looks kinda cool.
@lavikinga: I have always thought that would be interesting as well. I'll have to keep an eye in it and see if it drops in price.

7 Answers answer
I am not sure what your question is? the only deal I see for that at that price was 11 months ago. Deals.woot is just a community driven deal finding site they do not make the deals or the sales. Amazons prices are known to fluctuate wildly.
@capguncowboy: Got a small bow to go with that?
Don't look now paulv, but your white triangle is showing!
Well, this certainly isn't a question. Maybe it's an answer.
@barnabee: Might be, but it should have been in the form of a question.
@stupimlico: But, but...wouldn't that put us all in jeopardy?

KILLEEN (November 29, 2012)--A man and woman who both were indicted in September pleaded guilty Thursday in Waco's federal court to participating in a scheme to exploit children as child prostitutes in Killeen using an Internet site.
U.S. District Judge Walter S. Smith set Jerome Maurice Cole and Nancy Foley for sentencing on January 30, 2013.
Cole pleaded guilty to one count of a four-count indictment on a charge of sex trafficking of children.
Foley pleaded guilty to one count of four indicted charging conspiracy to promote a business enterprise involving prostitution.
Federal criminal complaints and affidavits against Cole and Foley show police began an investigation into the criminal enterprise in April 2012 after learning there was evidence that at least three girls, all of whom were younger than 18, had been brought to Killeen to work as prostitutes.
Agents were able to establish that photographs of the girls had been stored on Cole's cellular telephone and had been transmitted to an Internet website that advertised women as prostitutes in the Killeen area.
Further investigation showed the inappropriate photographs of the girls had been taken using Foley's cell phone and later were transmitted via text message to Cole's cell phone.
Police first received a message from a woman that she believed her daughter, who was a run-away, was staying in the Killeen area and could have been tricked into becoming a prostitute.
Over several weeks police were able to identify at least two other girls younger than 18 who also were being promoted as prostitutes.
Police were able to identify a location on South Fort Hood Street where they believed the prostitution was taking place and went there to investigate.
When detectives knocked on the door a girl invited them in, and once inside they found an air mattress and a small light blue garbage can at the top left side of the mattress.
Inside the garbage can were more than 30 open condom wrappers, and used condoms.
Above the bed was a shelf that ran the length of the room and on the shelf was a bulk box of condoms with approximately three left.

WASHINGTON (CNN) -- Even before a second Republican Senate candidate tripped over incendiary comments about rape, GOP leaders in Washington knew that their once promising chances of winning control of the Senate had diminished.
Whether Richard Mourdock of Indiana can move past his controversial remarks and stabilize his campaign remains to be seen. Either way, once confident Republicans across the country now face the nail-biting final days of campaigning and a highly uncertain outcome on Election Day.
That's a big change from two years ago when Republicans made major gains in the midterm election and had reason to believe they could take back the Senate this year. But, in fact, Democrats now appear well-positioned to retain their slim majority and with it the ability to influence much of the Washington agenda during the next two years whether President Barack Obama is re-elected or former Massachusetts Gov. Mitt Romney succeeds him.
Political operatives in each party caution that there are more toss-up races this year than in recent memory, so it's very hard to predict the outcome which they agree could be influenced heavily by the presidential ballot.
"We are cautiously optimistic that we'll keep the majority this year," said Matt Canter of the Democratic Senatorial Campaign Committee, which coordinates Democratic campaigns. He pointed to Democratic Senate candidates who are doing unexpectedly well in several red states, which is forcing Republicans to focus their energies and resources where they didn't expect to have to.
"Republicans are spending millions of dollars playing defense in five of the 10 Republican-held seats on the map," Canter said. "Pundits didn't predict that."
Republicans, who acknowledge they faced a number of setbacks, have been buoyed recently by the resurgence of Mitt Romney's presidential bid and are hopeful his momentum will carry over to Senate races. Romney recently cut ads for two GOP Senate candidates, which will test that theory.
"What the first (presidential) debate did was clarify the choice between the two visions of the parties and that helped us," said Rob Jesmer of the National Republican Senatorial Committee, which spearheads the GOP election effort.
Jesmer said that of the 10 to 12 races that are polling within the margin of error, Republicans believe they are actually ahead by a couple of points in most of them. The Republican senatorial committee and GOP super PACS plan to spend heavily in Indiana, Wisconsin, North Dakota, Montana, Nevada, Arizona, and Virginia between now and the election.
"The races are close and millions of dollars will be spent" in the coming days, Jesmer said. "So we have to run to the tape."
Two years ago, Republicans were upbeat about their prospects because they only needed four seats to win the chamber outright and just three if a Republican were to win the White House and a GOP vice president could break tie votes.
Republicans had the advantage of having to protect only 10 seats while Democrats had to defend 23, many in narrowly divided swing states. In addition, several veteran Democratic incumbents, mostly moderates, announced they would retire, making it potentially even easier for Republicans to win those seats. Republicans encountered their own problems, though.
A frustrated Sen. Olympia Snowe of Maine, who was considered a shoo-in for re-election, shocked her colleagues when she suddenly announced that she would leave the Senate, which she described as hopelessly partisan. In Missouri, the campaign of Rep. Todd Akin nearly collapsed after the Republican's comments about "legitimate rape" and his suggestion that women could biologically prevent pregnancy if they are raped. Until then, Republicans believed Akin would defeat Democratic Sen. Claire McCaskill, who polls showed was not very popular after just one term.
Now, Republicans are grappling with the controversy over Mourdock, the tea party-backed state treasurer. He had already riled the Republican establishment by defeating in the primary longtime moderate Sen. Richard Lugar, who otherwise likely would have won a seventh term. During a televised debate with his opponent, conservative Democratic Rep. Joe Donnelly, Mourdock defended his opposition to abortion even in the case of rape because, "I think even when life begins in that horrible situation of rape, that it is something God intended to happen."
Democrats pounced on his remarks and several key Republicans denounced them, too. Romney, who had just appeared in a TV ad for Mourdock, said he disagreed with the comment but didn't pull his endorsement.
Democrats, who this week pumped an additional $1.6 million into the race, say their internal polling shows Donnelly up by two points. However, Republicans say they are confident that the heavily GOP and pro-life voters in Indiana will rally behind Mourdock.
Strong Democratic candidates also have put several GOP seats into play.
In Arizona, former President George W. Bush's Surgeon General Richard Carmona, a Democrat who is Hispanic, is neck and neck with veteran GOP Rep. Jeff Flake. In Massachusetts, former Obama administration consumer advocate Elizabeth Warren appears to be slightly ahead of Sen. Scott Brown, the Republican who won the Senate seat that for decades belonged to Ted Kennedy. And in Nevada, many polls indicate Democratic Rep. Shelley Berkley narrowly trails Sen. Dean Heller, the Republican.
In three of the states where moderate Democratic incumbents retired this year and Republicans were early favorites to win, polls now show tight races. In Wisconsin, Democratic Rep. Tammy Baldwin is neck and neck with former GOP Gov. Tommy Thompson. In North Dakota, Democrat Heidi Heitkamp is slightly behind Republican Rep. Rick Berg and in New Mexico, Democratic Rep. Martin Heinrich is holding a small but steady lead of former Republican Rep. Heather Wilson.
But Republicans point to their own prospects, including seats they hope to pick up across the aisle.
At the top of their list is in Nebraska where Republican Deb Fischer has a solid lead over former Democratic Sen. Bob Kerrey and is likely to win the open Senate seat being vacated by Democrat Ben Nelson.
In Democratic-leaning Connecticut, Republican Linda McMahon, the former professional wrestling executive, hopes to win the seat of retiring Sen. Joe Lieberman, the independent who caucuses with Democrats. Her opponent is Democratic Rep. Chris Murphy, who has struggled to maintain a lead over McMahon. The race has been notably caustic with negative advertising flooding the airwaves. Democrats have had to spend heavily to shore up Murphy's campaign.
Polls are also very close in Montana where incumbent Democrat Jon Tester is locked in a slugfest with GOP Rep. Rick Berg and in Virginia where former Democratic Gov. Tim Kaine is trying to hold onto a Democratic seat over former Republican Sen. George Allen.
Democratic seats in Florida and Ohio are also in play although currently the Republican challengers appear to be behind.

Vampire Slayer FPS - Xbox.com for $1 + free shipping
Ok so I generally find most Xbox indie games terrible but this is the first one that is really actually fun! Anyone with a spare 80 MSP should definitely check it out it is worth the buy!
3 Comments add a comment
Seriously, this game is the bomb.
It's such a simple idea, but it's so much fun!
Best dollar I've spent!
Game is pretty fun. I kind of wish I knew how to select the level.
Also if you are vampires and you go up to an item like a bed you can glitch through them by pressing the left trigger fast enough.
@explosiveegg: If you go into the options, you can choose the starting map.
I'm pretty sure it always autocycles, but you can still choose the starting map and the load times are short, so it's not really that big of a deal. And it's still only a buck. Haha.

WHEELING -- No one can ever accuse Dino Gaudio of forgetting his roots.
The Yorkville native and Buckeye South graduate actually reflects on growing up and utilizes something that he learned in the Ohio Valley in some regard daily.
And, obviously, it's paid dividends in a myriad of ways for the former Wake Forest head men's basketball coach and current ESPN college basketball analyst.
Article Video
Dino Gaudio
Gaudio had a chance to return to the Ohio Valley and recall some of the things that formed the highly successful and charismatic man that he is today as part of the Cancer Research Classic's tip-off dinner held at Oglebay Park's Glessner Auditorium inside Wilson Lodge Thursday evening.
It didn't take Gaudio long at all to accept Dr. Gregory Merrick's invitation to serve as the keynote speaker for the second annual dinner, which begins a weekend full of basketball.
The sixth annual Cancer Research Classic formally gets under way this afternoon with a quartet of games slated for Wheeling Jesuit University's Alma Grace McDonough Center, starting at 4:30.
Article Photos
DINO GAUDIO received a nice surprise Thursday evening at the Cancer Research Classic tipoff banquet, where he was the keynote speaker. Gaudio was presented his No. 23 Buckeye South High Rebels jersey by current Buckeye Local High head coach Jay Morris. Also looking on is CRC director Dr. Gregory Merrick.
Additional images may be found at cu.timesleaderonline.com
However, the weekend is much more than hoops and Gaudio made sure he got that point across.
Merrick has found a bevy of ways to utilize his love of basketball as a vehicle to promote men's health and the value of a Catholic education.
Those factors made Gaudio an even better choice for this year's banquet.
"I think this whole event is marvelous," Gaudio said. "The way Dr. Merrick has grown this and the way the whole thing is run is just tremendous. I remember this when it was in its infantile stages, so to see where it's at now is great. On top of the basketball, the way this event supports events that are more important (than basketball) such as cancer research, early detection."
Overall, though, for Gaudio, it was a chance to come 'home.'
"I got in earlier (Thursday) and my parents picked me up at the airport, so the more time I can spend with them and a lot of people from Yorkville came this evening in support," Gaudio said.
The Yorkville native, who now lives in Charlotte, took time to reflect on his years in Eastern Ohio and his first-ever coaching job at Wheeling Central under the late Skip Prosser.
He also encouraged men in the audience to get tested for health issues early. He's got credibility in the area since he'll be a 10-year cancer survivor come April.
"Catholic education meant a tremendous amount to me along with the early detection of cancer," Gaudio said. "I am only here today because of early detection. It means a lot to me to come back for a great cause and see people who mean a lot to me and mentored me."
Gaudio took plenty of what he learned as a kid growing up in Yorkville and attending Buckeye South High School with him into his coaching career.
As for many people, it was just the little things, too.
"(Yorkville) was a tremendously caring environment and a place where you just weren't raised by your mom and dad," Gaudio smiled. "You were raised by 200 or so other people in that town, who, if they saw you doing something wrong they let you know about it. I learned a lot about value and work ethic."
It's those values that Gaudio used to form not only his coaching philosophy, but also the way he went about raising his own daughters and building his own family.
"From my dad, I learned about a work ethic and from my mother, who is a cancer survivor now, I learned about dealing with adversity," Gaudio said. "Where you grow up is what molds you to who you really are and you absolutely carry that with you throughout your personal and professional careers."
Gaudio boarded a flight today back to Charlotte because of an ESPN commitment, so he won't be able to take in any of the games, but he's well aware of the talent and encouraged any basketball - or sports fan in general - to get out this weekend for the action.
"You'll see these players in the NBA in maybe two or three years," Gaudio said. "I'd say four or five of these kids coming this weekend will play in the NBA. There are a lot of very good individual players, but there are also some very good coaches. People would be making a huge mistake if they didn't come out, see these players and support the issues of men's health."
Along with seeing family and plenty of old friends, Gaudio was also presented a framed #23 Buckeye South Rebels jersey that he wore during his prep days by current Buckeye Local High School Basketball Coach Jay Morris.
"I wore 23 before Michael Jordan," Gaudio said.

I must sincerely apologize for the delay in posting I have been busier than a bee. We have been travelling from BC to Buffalo competing!
In Langley BC I had the distinct pleasure of teaching once again at Well Seasoned. It was a terrific set of days we had a sold out classes for Ribs and received a lot of positive feedback from the classes.
Then we headed up to the gloriously beautiful Whistler BC to compete at the Canadian National BBQ Championships!! This is the most gorgeous location to have a BBQ competition. At the base of the mountains beautiful wisps of smoke plume upwards . It is a sight to behold for sure. Our site was once again shared with the teams from Well Seasoned with pitmaster Angie Quaale and David Gassaway, Praire Smoke & Spice with pitmaster Rob Reinhardt and Jaci Reinhardt. We all get along really well and there was a lot of sharing involved with cooking techniques and recipes.
Congratulations to Wine Country Q for their GC and to the Canadian Team Well Seasoned RGC and the ticket to the Jack !!!! We received 7th in burger and 6th in King of the Q, 1st place pork and the rest lets just forget about it till next year. Overall we came in 13th out of 43 teams. It was not our best results for sure. They really didn't like our food other than our pork this year. Oh well. We still had a blast!
Angie and David. Wow were they ever surprised awesome to see!!
After flying back from BC we had just 36 hours to prep and pack for the Taste of Country Nationals in Buffalo BC. Talk about some quick packing!!
This new event combines great country music family friendly events, BBQ vending and of course a BBQ competition. Moe Cason from Ponderosa BBQ and I were asked to go on the local TV station ABC WKBW News 7 in Buffalo and do a short segment on the event!!
The event was a blast to do and the crowds were enormous. The vendor lines never stopped the entire time we were there and there were hundreds of people in the Peoples Choice tasting lines as well. For this contest we were joined by a Ninja. No kidding. A Pork Ninja named Jamie. We were really appreciate of his help all weekend for sure and we could not have done the sampling without him.
We were lucky enough to come home with some hardware!! 1st place pork 3rd Chicken 7th ribs 13th brisket for 5th overall. Plus for the first time ever we won 1st place people's choice. that was a big thrill for us. We usually don't participate in peoples choice. This one was a blind peoples choice for pork. IT was a thrill for sure and we will be back next year.
Then right after awards we raced back to Canada for a VIP catering event for some lovely folks.
Catering table as we were setting up.
Good times but we are now taking a well deserved long overdue …weekend off. Catch you next week!!

KVARTAL is a system for hanging panels and curtains. Unlike ordinary curtain rods, it consists of different parts designed for different functions. No longer are you constrained by the architecture of the room - simply choose the parts that match your ideas.
What to think about
KVARTAL offers you unprecedented freedom. Here are a few simple questions to help you determine the parts you will need and to get you started:
● How long?
You can make KVARTAL as long or as short as you like – all you have to do is put the rails together and cut them to the right length. A mitre box and saw is part of the KVARTAL range.
● Curved or straight?
KVARTAL thinks beyond the line letting you create imaginative curved solutions. For curves you will need to select the curved rails. To go around corners you will need the corner piece which comes in either single or triple track.
Curtain tracks provide an interesting alternative to simple curtains
Curtains can really transform a room, and you'll want to hang them with as little fuss as possible. Our KVARTAL curtain tracks provide a dynamic solution that's convenient and easy to use. For a simple set-up with a single pair of curtains, you might opt for our basic single track rail. If you want a more modern looking window treatment, the triple track rail makes it possible to easily slide multiple panel curtains across each other.
Curtain tracks: simplicity with a range of accessories
We've got a range of extra bits to help you select the best curtain track system for your room. Corner pieces are available for both single and triple track configurations, so going around corners is simplicity itself. Installing your curtain tracks is made even easier with our mitre box and saw to cut the rails to the appropriate length. And of course we also have all the wall and ceiling fittings you'll need to hold the track in place. There's even a KVARTAL draw rod to help you to arrange your panel curtains exactly as you like. And you will like.

Girls hoops: Chiefs welcome new coach
For the first time in 13 seasons, the Nonnewaug girls basketball team will have a new coach.
Adam Brutting takes over for longtime coach John Somero, who ended his tenure after 12 seasons with the team.
Brutting, who has spent the past 12 years coaching at Woodbury Middle School, takes over his first varsity position and has liked what he's seen so far.
"I've seen extremely strong excitement," Brutting said. "These girls have unbelievable hustle, a great deal of communication and a strong desire to get better."
Somero finished with a 159-113 career record and guided Nonnewaug to a Berkshire League title in 2007. Last season, the Chiefs (19-4) were second in the BL and reached the quarterfinals of the Class M tournament.
The Chiefs will try to overcome the loss of All-BL guard Caitlin Drakeley, who graduated.
"Each year you lose players to graduation, but you gain new players," Brutting said. "So you'll always have a different look, and players need to take on new responsibilities."
Brutting believes his team is capable of doing so. It helps that Nonnewaug has the top returning scorer in the BL in Katie Burke (14.7 ppg last season). Burke finished third in the scoring race behind Drakeley and Wamogo's Kerri Stolle, who also graduated.
"We'll look to be as competitive as possible, and the team will continue to grow every single day," Brutting said.

Soul Searching for Premier League
On Friday, UEFA, European soccer's governing body, drew the quarterfinal match-ups for the 2012-2013 Champions League. And not a single Premier League team was among the Elite Eight.
The last time the English league had failed to have a team advance to this stage was 17 years ago.
Arsenal manager Arsène Wenger, whose team was the last Premier League club to fall on Wednesday, sounded the alarm bells. "That means the rest of Europe has caught up on us," he said. "We have to take that into consideration when we think about the future of the Premier League."
His doom-and-gloom musing was not surprising—soccer folk like to draw broad conclusions about the "state of the game" from small sample sizes. But it was nevertheless an overgeneralization.
The Champions League—a tournament reserved for Europe's best teams, with the higher-ranked nations awarded more spots in the competition—may offer an indication of how a league's best sides are doing, but it doesn't measure the strength of a domestic championship as a whole. Of course, even as a means to evaluate the relative performance of a league's top sides, it's the kind of metric that needs to be taken with inevitable caveats.
From the Round of 16 onwards, it's a straight, two-legged knockout affair, which means poor refereeing performances, a tough draw or simply a bad day can skew the results.
That said, some numbers are inescapable, though perhaps not inexplicable. Between 2006 and 2009, the Premier League accounted for 11 of the 24 quarterfinalists and, incredibly, nine of the 12 semifinalists. In the next three years, those figures fell to six quarterfinalists and two semifinalists. And, this season, England's "Annus Horribilis" of the Champions League, they're at zero.
It's not necessarily an indictment of the league as a whole. Attendances remain high, the second-highest in Europe, after Germany's Bundesliga. Eleven of the top 30 clubs in Deloitte's most recent "Money League" report, which ranks teams by revenue, are English. And that includes four of the top seven. What's more, the Premier League has long had the most lucrative broadcasting contract and next season, it will be 70% higher.
So how to explain the declining performances of the top English clubs in the Champions League? Has the rest of the continent simply "caught up," as Wenger suggested?
First and foremost, some of the better sides in Europe's other top leagues are considerably better, not just relative to the 2006-2009 era of English dominance, but also compared to their own domestic leagues.
Going into the weekend, Germany's Bayern Munich and Italy's Juventus were 20 and 10 points clear respectively in their domestic leagues. There is an evident gap in quality between them and their compatriots, there's also a chasm in spending (and, not surprisingly, the latter helps explain the former).
The Spanish superclubs, Barcelona and Real Madrid, are also well ahead of where they were between 2006 and 2009. Barcelona benefited from the startling Pep Guardiola era while Madrid spent heavily since 2009, both in terms of players (none more so than Cristiano Ronaldo), and manager (Jose Mourinho, who has already won this competition with two different clubs).
Paris Saint-Germain and Galatasaray do not enjoy the same domestic hegemony in terms of results, though both lead the leagues in France and Turkey. Both have spent massively, PSG approaching half a billion dollars in two years, Galatasaray substantially less, but still enough to attract two highly paid veteran reinforcements in January: Wesley Sneijder and Didier Drogba.
The other two quarterfinalists have also benefitted from some specific occurrences. Borussia Dortmund can count on the development of arguably the best crop of young players in Europe, a group assembled by manager Jurgen Klopp.
Malaga, a club in financial difficulty—UEFA has fined it and banned it from future European competitions for various irregularities—is the resident underdog. But were it not for hefty investment a few years back, the very overspending which led to its ban, it wouldn't have advanced this far.
So Wenger is partly right. It's not that other leagues have "caught up" with the Premier League, it's that the top clubs have outperformed their English counterparts. That is partly due to improvements elsewhere, but also down to a domestic slide from England's big boys.
Manchester United is running away with the Premier League title but looks a shadow of the side that reached the Champions League final two years ago. It's not a statistical thing, as much as it is an eye-test thing. The pricey signing of Robin van Persie papered over many cracks in the first half of the campaign. Since then this has looked like a veteran team using savvy and experience to grind out results.
Manchester City, which won the title on the final day of last season, doesn't appear to have improved much this campaign. Chelsea, winner of the Champions League last May, has endured a turbulent season, including an acrimonious managerial change, with another one to come in the summer: Rafa Benitez has said he will step down, and that will likely herald another rebuilding year. Wenger's own Arsenal is stuck in a similar rut. The Frenchman, now in his 17th year in charge, hasn't overseen a trophy-winning season since 2005 and is openly criticized by some supporters.
Liverpool's funk is even more long-standing: It hasn't finished higher than sixth since 2009 and is unlikely to do so this year. There are signs of improvement under new boss Brendan Rodgers but, as he himself has said, it's a long road back. Indeed, among the bigger clubs, the only one that can claim any kind of substantial improvement after years of underachievement is Tottenham, now third under manager André Villas-Boas.
The thing is that this generalized rut at the top of the English game isn't necessarily linked to any malaise of the Premier League itself. Nor is there a common thread uniting the present ills affecting England's elite. It's just different clubs with different managers at different times facing different challenges. And because there is no common ailment, there is no universal cure. Rather, each club must come up with its own solution.
Coupled with the ability of their continental competitors to solidify their hegemony, this helps explain just why there is no English representation in Europe's Elite Eight. And why, if those clubs fail to address their individual problems, there won't be much representation next year either.

Air Quality and Other Environmental Factors in South Korea
Water Quality
Water quality in South Korea is generally fair, though pollution, usually from industrial sources and the discharge of sewage, remains an issue in some rivers and coastal areas. The water supplied to homes is perfectly safe to use for bathing and apparently suitable for drinking, though most expatriates and locals stick to bottled water or install water filtration systems. The water served in restaurants is usually boiled or filtered.
While ads discourage the habit and nonsmoking zones are starting to pop up in places, in general it's open season for cigarette smokers in South Korea, which views tobacco with a permissiveness not seen in North America for decades. By some estimates close to half of all adult men are smokers. Cigarettes are dirt cheap and readily available everywhere, and a lot of restaurants and nightspots allow people to puff away wherever they like. Of course this leniency is extended only to men—South Koreans still view women smoking as strange, racy even, and while it's become more common to see girls lighting up on the street, many women will avoid doing so if they're not in or near a trendy café or nightspot.
The tide is slowly turning. Authorities have banned smoking in government facilities and large office complexes, for example, and the Seoul government plans to progressively roll out a smoking ban to all the city's restaurants by 2015. Nonsmoking bars have also emerged in areas like Seoul's cosmopolitan Itaewon district. However, for the time being, in many venues (bars in particular) nonsmokers have little choice but to grimace and bear it. Smokers, on the other hand, will have found their own little slice of heaven.
Sanitary conditions are generally quite good, and it's rare these days to come across a home or building in South Korea without access to modern plumbing, though in some areas squat-style toilets are still the norm. Restaurants, especially busy ones, are kept pretty spotless, and cases of food poisoning or contamination are fairly uncommon. Some caution needs to be exercised with street food, especially seafood, which is sometimes left sitting around without proper heating or refrigeration. Frequenting popular stalls where there's a high food turnover is the easiest way to avoid problems.

Area lawmakers express concerns
June 26, 2013
WHEELING — Sen. Jay Rockefeller believes the science behind global warming "is real" and that America needs to address climate change....
All WV and Ohio voters should vote against any politician that supported the election of President Obama, or if they convinced you to support him. Even before he was elected he stated that he WAS GOING TO BANKRUPT COAL. Should not be a surprise to anyone. And next election you have the ability to fix this.

I have been meaning to get to Beast for a while now. Just never enough to time….. I had heard from a few friends in TO that the food was really good . This past weekend I finally got to try some items. Once again Angie Quaale from Well Seasoned accompanied me.
We stopped in for a glass of wine and a few appetizers before we headed out for a late dinner at Parts & Labour
The building is really charming and with lovely plastered walls, planked flooring and cozy seating.More like you are going to someones home for dinner than a restaurant. Its just a really nice place to eat and the chandeliers are gorgeous but not so pretentious you would feel uncomfortable coming in more casual clothing.
We decided on our wine and then moved on to selecting some appetizers to share –
Cassoulet duck confit, chorizo sausage, poached duck egg
The beautiful succulent pieces of duck, the to-die-for chorizo, beans that held their shape yet yielded to a bite… and a perfectly poached duck egg made this dish elegant, rustic and hearty all at once. The only criticism I could make was it was just a bit heavily seasoned with salt for our tastes… That note aside this is a dish you want to delve into- curling up beside a fireplace with it……. Like your favorite cardigan or sweater you want to just keep going back to it.
beast charcuterie
I love cured meats. I love the smoky overtones the different textures and tastes a good charcuterie platter should come with. I am spoiled so many of my friends on the BBQ circuit cure their own meats and have shared their bounty with us. Going to restaurants lately I have been very disappointed with some of the charcuterie I have had, until this arrived:
1.Rabbit and Carrot Terrine 2. Pate de Campagne 3. Mortadella 4. Duck Bresaola 5. Foie Gras "Pastrami" pickled veg, mustard & honeycomb -parker house rolls, absolutely everything was delicious. We could have spent all night with this gorgeous pig platter of food slowly savoring each item.
I would also like to note they make the parker house rolls and mini baguettes with red bran (I could eat a dozen of these they are soo yummy and the texture ROCKS) in house and they are just perfect accompaniments to this dish.
lamb ribs carolina bbq sauce & hushpuppies
So here is the hard part. I don't like lamb in any form at all. I have had countless chefs and BBQ cooks and friends have me try their lamb in every which way possible. I still don't like it. Until now.
Lamb ribs are something I have never had before. These were succulent and properly cooked. The outside crust was incredible. The sauce very lightly applied. I wish I had the rub recipe. The meats texture and flavor was incredible. Different than any other lamb I have ever had. The fatty layer underneath is simply indulgent very rich….. Delicious. ….I was shocked by how much I enjoyed them. The coleslaw was vinegary and crisp & did a great of balancing the fattiness of the ribs.
Last but not least the hushpuppies. I have such a fondness for hushpuppies. I am an absolute hush puppy lovin' lady- These were little balls of pure happiness. I could eat them by the bucketload . The crunchy exterior is in beautiful contrast to the fluffy light interior. They were awesome.. Hushpuppies are a Southern thing that I hope catches on a lot more in Ontario.
I am really looking forward to another visit to Beast to have not just appetizers but an entire meal… The service was incredibly friendly warm and hospitable. Scott and Rachelle Vivian truly have something to be incredibly proud of with this restaurant.

Good Find, on a side note all of these are currently on Netflix streaming
I hate how the Star Trek series are always so expensive because they think Trekkies will pay it. I mean come on, $200 is the great sale price? I'm not downing the deal because it's a great price based on the past, but I mean...come on. Should be like $100 max. That's what Amazon is selling all 10 seasons of the awesome Stargate SG-1 for, and that's not even a sale price. I think I got it for like $60 on sale.
$200 is RIDICULOUS, especially for a box set that isn't even BluRay.
Get serious. This set cost a few dollars to make. $200 is a ripoff.
@blue11: Umm, this is the lowest it's been for years.
Just because you don't have the money, doesn't mean other people don't.
And yeah, it's on Netflix...
+1 for the netflix. Even if you don't have Netflix already it would have to take you 25 months to get through all 7 seasons for it to be cheaper to buy this than just subscribe to netflix.
Tuvok's never going home!!!!
I enjoyed this series as a kid, up until season 6 when I got tired of the repetitive stories and all the BS science and contrivances. I watched the finale and was very disappointed. My first thought was "seven years for this?"
Watching as an adult is kind of frustrating, the writing on this show really was terrible and I'm thinking some of the cast were just bad actors. This show had potential, the sets were great, the budget was good, but the writing was just awful. And how many forehead aliens are there in our galaxy?!
I bought all seven seasons on eBay 4 years ago for about $110 and received a crappy chinese bootleg set (though the seller was advertising the US release). That soured my taste for Voyager even more, 4 or 5 of the discs were too glitchy to play and it always defaulted to chinese subtitles. I fixed that seller though, I complained to Paypal and got a full refund and got to keep the bootlegs.
Thankfully Netflix has most of Trek right now. Can't wait to try DS9!
I bought this a few years back for more. I really enjoyed Star Trek, and grew up on Voyager. I like DS9 much more. I might not have bought them if the streaming were available sooner, but that's how it goes. At any rate, they recently added Star Trek to the Amazon prime streamable, so you can get reduced shipping on it when you order this, and then watch it for free anyway! I just wanted to point out for all the mockery of people who bought the series, it was not a bad thing to do if you really enjoyed it (Star Trek in general, maybe not Voyager) and did not know that it would eventually be streaming.
@charlesp2009: DS9 is really great, especially once you hit season 4 onward (the first few seasons are hit and miss). If you liked the story style of the 2000 era Battlestar Galactica, you will likely enjoy it (Ron Moore wrote extensively for both I believe). Finally, since you are probably familiar with Voyager and looking for the more enjoyment (despite the obvious failures) I recommend this guy: http://blip.tv/sf-debris-opinionated-reviews. He does really excellent reviews of Star Trek and other Science Fiction franchises. He has made me enjoy Voyager much more (usually at its expense).
@charlesp2009: because star trek was realistic until the 6th season?
I actually am currently in season 6 of Voyager on Netflix, and I agree that it really kinda goes down hill. At this point I just want to finish. The stories get really repetitive in season 6. They stopped building conflicts that took multiple episodes and switched to everything just taking one episode to work out. You can miss or skip episodes in season 6 and not miss anything. In the early season you actually had to follow the series cause it had a story.
@jdevenberg: A buddy of my likes the SF Debris reviews but I never really took to them. Though I always read the CynicsCorner.org reviews back during Voyager's original run, and the small handful he did for Enterprise.
Still need to check out the new BattleStar Galactica, that's in my instant queue on Netflix, I just need to get in the right mood for it!
Voyager blows. THe actors were poor. Their dialog was generally below average. And 25% of their situations were goofy too. Mulgrew was a horrible choice.
Wait til Novemeber when Amazon starts doing all their black friday deals and count down to christmas. It was 149$ last year for a few hours. I agree, loved the series but 200$ is a bit much. Especially since it's been out for as long as it has. Wal Mart had the seasons for 20$ a pop too last black friday.

Is there any way that I can make rounded corners on a rectangle rendered in XNA through primitives (line-strips)? I want to make my UI a bit more fancy than it is already, and I would like the code to be flexible, without too many textures involved.
You can render your primitive, and make a shader that can create these rounded corners.
Result of this pixel shader:
If you use shaders, you can make really fancy UI, even an animated one.
For me great to prototype simple pixel shaders is program EvalDraw
Another way to do this is to use a 'button stretch' (also called a 'box stretch' or 'nine-patch'). Essentially you create an image that is made up of 9 parts:
In order to draw that button at any size, you draw each piece (from top to bottom, left to right):
If you look at the button you will see that it doesn't matter if (2), (5) and (7) get scaled horizontally (because it is essentially a straight line); in the same manner (4), (5) and (6) can be scaled vertically without affecting the quality of the image.
Here is the code for the "nine-patch" approach:
It is invoked as:

One way or another, it would be GREATLY appreciated and HEAVILY supported by many players if you made the following change:
When a tile is Under attack, Surrounding tiles CANNOT be attacked. That means if I attack 0,0 , the surrounding 4 tiles that can be reached are 1W,0 1E,0 0,1S 0,1N. This means that when a guild works together to attack a fort, someone cant Branch off to another tile to gain 30 minutes of delay to stay in that territory and come back to attack the nearby tiles/forts.
I know that quite a few on here will say Well that just defeats the purpose and makes it to where strategy isn't involved. Well, Really? Do you think that attacking a nearby tile to keep your foothold in the territory While 6 of your tiles are under assault simultaneously is strategic when it is the Only way you can keep from getting pushed out of the territory? I call it cheap. It needs to be Removed.
Another tactic used is dropping nearby tiles and retaking them to gain protection and enclose a Branched tile. Unfortunately, doing this angers a few select people and makes them butthurt to the point that kicking them out of your territory makes them login to a special little Alt and spam you to all hell.
Thanks for the consideration. It will become a major turning point in conquest if implemented.
