Casting Call: Star Wars: The Sith Resurrection Part VIII: Wrath of the Empire
Two years have passed since the destruction of the New Empire's bio-weapon, but the galactic state of affairs has only gotten worse. The New Galactic Empire has regained its momentum with the return of Grand Admiral Khorzan Velerc and both Republic Intelligence and the mysterious organisation known as Echelon 5 have reported rumours of unusual activity along the borders of Known Space, coinciding with the rumours of the Undying Sith Empire. Kalla Kaltas has since recovered fully from her injuries at the hands of Darth Pestilus and has returned to active duty. Despite scepticism from the Republic Senate, at her behest, the Jedi Order has begun preparations for the arrival of the Undying Sith Empire, likely leading them into an uneasy alliance with the dubious Echelon 5. Lady Andorra Evenstar and Doctor Lenatha Pradhes are now engaged to be married, but little do they know that the events that will transpire at their wedding will be pivotal in the days to come...
As always, here is a timeline, and links to the previous RP's:
Part I: The Sith Resurrection
Part II: Rise of the Jedi
Part III: Last Stand of the Republic
Part IV: Alliances Divided
Part V: The Threefold War
Part VI: Death to the Sith

Character Sheet
Sexual Orientation: (Since Part IV was the first LGBT-related RP in the series, it seemed necessary to add this. Unless you state otherwise, it will be assumed that your character is open about their sexuality)
Description: (This is only necessary for characters of mixed species, which are fairly common in this series)

DOB: 67 ABY (age 45)
Backstory: Skilled in both lightsaber combat and diplomacy, Komad has bested numerous Sith Lords in battle, but has not personally killed any. When given the chance to kill Darth Virul at Bastion, he decided not to, knowing that Virul was more dangerous dead than alive. However, the decision was taken out of his hands, and Virul escaped anyway. A year after the loss of his wife, Komad became romantically involved with Iyav Dourden, a former smuggler working as a security trainee at Huntau station. He then travelled to Setna and aided in freeing Andorra Evenstar from the clutches of Darth Virul. Following Iyav's joining Republic Intelligence, they acquired a stock freighter named the
Silver Eagle
, and started working together, and were recently sent by Supreme Commander Leana Belina to investigate the disappearance of the Republic Star Destroyer
Name: Kalla Kaltas

DOB: 91 ABY (age 21)

Instead of wearing a traditional Jedi Tunic, Kalla wears a black sleeveless tunic, which also shows some cleavage, and a short skirt instead of typical pants.
Backstory: Kalla was born at the end of the Resurrection War to Komad and Greea Bodonawieedo Kaltas. In her Jedi training, she focused on the Niman lightsaber form, which eventually allowed her to defeat Andirrul in lightsaber combat. A year ago, she met and fell in love with Andorra Evenstar, princess of the Avalon system, after her mother, the governor, was kidnapped by Darth Virul, but lost her after Andorra, in a fit of rage, killed Virul and became his new host. Two months ago, she entered into a relationship with Andorra's cousin Tonatius Iazoki. At Setna, she tricked Virul into thinking she would offer herself in Andorra's place, and destroyed his spirit when he tried to take it. After Andorra was freed, they did not resume their relationship, and Kalla remained with Tonatius. Following her ordeal on Setna, the Jedi Council deemed her ready to granted the title of Jedi Knight. After the destruction of the
RSS Cygnus
, the Jedi Council sent her to lead an investigation of the abandoned New Imperial base on Geonosis. There, she discovered Darth Pestilus, the new Dark Lord of the Sith, and the Republic's first information about the Undying Sith Empire.

Gender: Male

Homeworld: Ord Mantell
Affiliation: Third Galactic Republic, Republic Intelligence
Title: Operative
Weapon: DL-62 Blaster Pistol
DOB: 77 ABY (age 35)
Backstory: After a somewhat unsuccessful smuggling career, Iyav decided to try his hand at security work, and got a job at Huntau Station, which proved to be less to his liking than he initially thought. Then he met Komad Kaltas, who inspired him to lead a resistance at Huntau against invading New Imperial forces. After being defeated, Iyav broke his fellow security guards out of the brig of Velerc's flagship, and sabotaged Khorzan Velerc's plans. After making his way to Setna in a stolen New Imperial shuttle, he aided in keeping Andorra Evenstar alive until they could get her to a proper hospital. After that ordeal, he left his job at Huntau Station, and started working for Republic Intelligence. During his stint as a smuggler, he married a Republic Guardsman named Jareth Krotan, but he soon saw his husband for what he really was: a brute, willing to sacrifice innocent lives for the sake of his mission, and just as cruel at home. Not long after an extremely unpleasant divorce, Iyav heard rumours that Jareth's brutality caught the interest of Echelon 5. Aware of Echelon 5's near-equal knowledge of the Undying Sith Empire, he is secretly dreading the reunion.
Name: Darth Pestilus
Species: Human or possibly a near-human species (noone is quite sure)
Gender: Male
Sexual Orientation: Unknown
Homeworld: Unknown
Affiliation: Undying Sith Empire, Sith Order
Title: Dark Lord of the Sith, Emperor
Weapon: Single-bladed lightsaber (red), he also plays on fear to demoralise his foes
DOB: Unknown
Description: He hides behind a long black cloak obscuring most of his face in shadow, though his eyes appear to glow through it.
Backstory: How he eluded the Jedi and the Republic for so long remains a mystery, however, it is widely suspected that he had a hand in the bio-weapon used against the Republic Star Destroyer
. He is also known to use his enemy's fears and anxieties against them. While he lacks the intolerance and prejudice of his predecessor, he is still utterly without mercy or conscience, willing to gas an entire Star Destroy in order to kill one man, or bomb a planet into submission just to prove a point.
"That is not a panel. That's a crusher. We sell them too."
"Bam! Robots gave us six extra seconds of cooperation. Good job, robots."
"This is the same technology we've been using on robots for decades. Scares the hell out of them."

Two characters who are currently up for grabs:
Name: Lenatha Pradhes
Species: Twi'lek
Gender: Female
Sexual Orientation: Lesbian
Homeworld: Ryloth
Affiliation: Republic
Title: Doctor.
Weapon: She mostly doesn't fight but she can fire a weapon and knows some personal defense.
DOB: 87 ABY (age 25)
Backstory: As a young girl, Lenatha was sold to Jamiro the Hutt on Nar Shaddaa. Jamiro had a sadistic taste when it came to pleasuring himself with the slave girls, and for this reason Lenatha began to have an aversion towards males. She was in her early teenage years (according to humans) when she met Ariel, a human woman who was slightly older than her, and the first one she had felt attraction towards. When their relationship was discovered, Jamiro forced Lenatha to watch as he ravaged and tortured Ariel to death. Being able to channel her emotions naturally, she channeled her hatred and grief towards her vengeance. She studied everyday the anatomy of alien species, most specifically the hutts, and she came in contact with a mercenary who taught her how to interrogate subjects with the use of torture and excruciating pain. She practiced this on the animals they sacrificed to feed Jamiro. She planned this for 2 years and during a raid by trandoshan mercenaries, Lenatha carried out her plan. The Trandoshan leader, having a great hatred towards Jamiro let Lenatha have her way with him. She tortured him in a way that even the Trandoshan's had to look away. The scene was gruesome and she made him feel the largest amount of pain without letting him pass out or die.
She finally killed him and left Nar Shaddaa with the Trandoshan Mercenaries and dropped her off at Coruscant where the Trandoshan Leader put a word for her with the chief medical officer. Recognizing her talents, she was taken in and found her place as a doctor. She suffers sometimes from recurring nightmares of the past where she is torturing Jamiro. She feels an enourmous regret and even sometimes found herself waking up and not knowing her surroundings, she avoids contact and begins crying, rubbing her hands as if they were stained and saying the words "I'm so sorry". She treated Andorra Evenstar and finally found in her a kindred spirit and the peace she had been looking for ever since Ariel.

He eventually did master some Jedi abilities but preferred to live in the anonymity of non-Jedi. He became a member of the Shinigami, the secret organization that were said to be the protectors of the Jedi Order. How or why that, it is not certain but Tavaryn firmly believes in protecting the Jedi Order from any threat of subterfuge. After the battle at Setna, he stuck around mainly for the benefit of Alriana in helping her understand this new world she was in. On occasion he takes off on a mission leaving few details. Knowing the nature of the Shimigami, no one dares to ask. He prefers fighting with his sword and hands and feet but will not hesitate to use the lightsaber he has carried since he was a youngling.
He stuck by Alriana helping her come to terms with her past. Instead of returning to the shadows permanently, he opted to be in regular contact with the Jedi and the Republic even partaking in training with the mysterious blue lightsaber that he carries.

Current Game
: Mass Effect
A little late, but here it is
Looking forward to it
Khorzan Velerc
Human, though considered to be apart of a race that is referred to as "Super-human" during the Imperial days.
Sexual Orientation
: Heterosexual, though he see's no use in a relationship.
: Corulag, and he's part of a family that has long been in support of Imperial Forces, and the Sith.
Sith Naval Forces
He has attained the rare rank of Senior Grand Admiral
The New Imperial Fleet, a small vibro-knife, and an Aratech type-B pistol capable of over 50 rounds a second, unfortunately only holding one hundred rounds.
: N/A, though theories say he may have been born around the Battle of Hoth.
He strides around the Imperial forces in a black Admiral's uniform that has red lining the sides. He has a great number of medals, only a few that he wears often. He also has standard black combat boots, where he also hides a grenade or two. His face has no sharp features other than his thick, black mustache and a scar that covers the entirety of his left cheek and a little bit of his face.
Brief History
: Admiral Velerc has fought at almost one-thousand different Naval engagements, his amount of victories however, are countless. He has proven his genius many times, once during an engagement with the whole of a Republic battle group. His flotilla only had a single, aged, Star-Destroyer and three frigates. In the end, the huge Republic battle group of at least ten Capital ships was decimated and only half of a fighter squadron survived the onslaught.
However, with his sudden disappearance, much has transpired. One being that the Sith were no longer a great addition to the Empire, force-users were now the bane of Imperial existence (due to the appearance of Darth Pestilus and his counteracting Imperial goals). The New Empire must be rebuilt brick for brick, and Khorzan Velerc is determined to do so. Secondly, the appearance of his daughter, Belina, has changed the situation...he may be cold, but she is all that remains of his family. He would be faced with the decision to destroy her one day, and Velerc fervently searches for a plan to save her, and perhaps have her join his forces.
Currently, he has replaced the defector Garja with Admiral Beroc, who he hopes will rise to the grand occasion set before them.
It is time for a counter-attack, and Velerc vows to be at the tip of the spear.
: Zevar Konig
: Human
: Male
Sexual Orientation
: Heterosexual
: Unknown
: Death Gaurd {Formerly}
: One of the Elite Death Gaurds
: Anything he can get his hands on, as of right now, he has no weapons.
:Unknown, even to him, as Imperials erased all files of his past, fully indoctrinating him into his position as Death Gaurd.
: He is extremely tall, nearly 7 foot. Asides from that, he is extremely muscular, as nearly all Death Gaurds are. He has blue eyes, and his head is completely clean-shaven. As a prisoner, he wears gray cover-alls, at least for right now.
Brief History
: After a long period of wandering after the failed Kaltas assassination mission, Zevar Konig resorted to watching Galactic events from a distance and honing his covert operations skills.
He has since collected information on Republic and Imperial troop movements, the energies used in Darth Pestilus' biological weaponry, and even predicted possible locations as to where Grand Admiral Velerc was to reappear.
These events have led to his own personal climax, and Konig now feels he must take aside in the inevitable battle that will take place between the Sith, Empire, and Republic. But, the former Death Guard first wants to see what work is like from all sides..

Meh, I've been talked into rejoining, so here's my character back for another beating.
Vector S'Borr
Human, Umbaran mix
Sexual Orientation:
Undetermined, has been moving around his whole life
Former Sith Apprentice;
Formerly *static* Currently the New Galactic Empire
"'Revision, affiliation unknown'"
- He was/is a part of an elite force wielding group of soldiers called
'Nex Venators'
. They were based around the ideas of the late Emporer Palpatine's Shadow Guards;
Currently Rogue - No more, he is of the
'Nex Orbis'
"'Revision, status...Unknown.'"
Former *static* Re-instituted
"'Revision, classification unknown, last known description: Republic/Jedi Prisoner - Felon; Act: Attempted assassination, under plea of cerebral coercion.'"
'Nex Sicarius'
, Third highest class amongst the
'Nex Venators'
; Former Sith Apprentice (before he was apart of the
'Nex Venators'
Top portion of a pike saber ~Dull Crimson Blade~ , he has repaired the bottom with a pummel cap, and has slightly customized it (was once his father's pike saber) - Weapon has been re-repaired after assassination incident; Modified DC-19
carbine; Exo-Skeletal Phrik Gauntlet (left hand); Hidden Lightsaber in wrist of Phrik Gauntlet ~
Dark Bronze Blade~
76 ABY (is roughly 36)
Tall, and pale like an Umbaran, he has a shaved head (hair is white, and feels like silk, doesn't grow beyond half an inch in length; a mix of having human hair, mixed with a species without hair) with Sith tattoos on said cranium. Has the toned build of a human that has gone its whole life training and exercising, but is still gaunt and lithe, showing some of his Umbaran blood. Has cold grey eyes, and has the same will perception, and influencing skills as an Umbaran, as well as their calculating gaze, but because of his human blood (and upbringing), he has a wider emotional spectrum.
'Torso Appearance'
'Rogue Clothes {Pre-capture}'
'Sicarius Clothes {Post-Capture}'
"'Revision, persona profiles outdated, current attire unknown; current physical appearance and health...Unknown.'"
Shortly after meeting Komad and his group of Jedi, Vector was forced to leave his long standing home of Jatalra for a year, to leave due to the ensuing events on said planet. He aided them in retrieving a Jedi's ancient lightsaber, and some holocrons, but due to slight mental instability, and paranoia, the half-blood kept the holocrons to himself. Soon after the group had reached a station ((I believe that's right)) the former
'Nex Venator-Sicarius'
regressed to old habits, and stowed away on a ship, and left ((don't know what happened to, or what to do with the holocrons he had, so I'll leave that ambiguous for now)).
Nearly a month later, Vector was imprisoned by Imperial forces, held there for such a long period of time until a skilled member - most likely a
'Nex Arbitrator'
, the second highest class among the
'Nex Venators'
, and one class above Vector's (Thus more skilled, they can only assume) - of the
'Nex Venators'
could come and successfully, and safely escort him to the
'Nex Fovia'
, primary facility of the
'Nex Venators'
, to be imprisoned, punished, and then brainwashed back into service.
Another month has passed since his imprisonment, and Vector has been,
back into the
'Nex Venators'
. Physically, mentally, and even emotionally tortured, Vector is now a freethinking brainwashed
'Nex Sicarius'
, and one of the most skilled among his kind. As his torture, and brainwashing occurred, the
'Nex Venators'
came across the knowledge of Vector's meeting with Komad, and his group, and have sent Vector after them, trusting in their skills of brainwashing to stick, he is to be their assassin, to end them.
"'Final revision, current history of last two years of subject's life are unknown; last recorded data: Interrogation - Kol Skywalker. Imprisonment sentence: Unknown | Release: Uknown | Escape:......Likely | Death:........*Data still in requisition*'"
Well, that character sheet'll put a little twist into things if I do say so.
An updated image of Vector may be uploaded or not, depends on if I get around to making a decent picture, meh.
"But in you...I see the potential to see the Force die, to turn away from its will..."
"You are beautiful to me, exile. A dead spot in the Force, an emptiness in which its will might be denied."
"But no Jedi ever made the choice you did. To sever ties so completely, so utterly, that it leaves a wound in the Force..."
"I would have killed the galaxy to preserve you...You are more precious than you know..."-now...it's verbatim!-A quote from Darth Traya (Kreia)

I've been trying to convert this code to jQuery from Javascript but to no avail. This code is for adding a new item to a list which I took from the msdn website.
It works in javascript but I need it to run every time the page is loaded. I tried to google for why it wasn't working with javascript and found this. The guy who asked the question said it worked well with jQuery. So, I've been trying to convert this.
All help is appreciated! Thanks!!
Note: As I'm working for a client, I'm not allowed to use third party tools like SPServices.
Edit: Code I've done till now:
function createListItem() {
var clientContext = new SP.ClientContext(siteUrl);
var oList = clientContext.get_web().get_lists().getByTitle("Announcements");
var itemCreateInfo = new SP.ListItemCreationInformation();
this.oListItem = oList.addItem(itemCreateInfo);
oListItem.set_item("Title", "My New Item!");
oListItem.set_item("Body", "Hello World!");
clientContext.executeQueryAsync(Function.createDelegate(this, this.onQuerySucceeded), Function.createDelegate(this, this.onQueryFailed));
function onQuerySucceeded() {
alert("Item created: " + oListItem.get_id());
function onQueryFailed(sender, args) {

WELLSBURG - Wellsburg City Council on Tuesday gave final approval to an ordinance raising the salaries of its members, the mayor, collector-treasurer and city clerk.
Council moved, by a 6-1 vote, to raise pay for whoever is serving on it after next year's election and by a 7-0 vote to raise pay for the mayor, collector-treasurer and city clerk.
Half of council's eight seats and the positions of mayor and collector-treasurer will be on ballots next year, and the raises will go into effect on July 1, the first day of their new terms.
Raises for the other four council seats and the city clerk will go into effect on July 1, 2015, after that year's election.
Following the recommendation of the city's finance committee, council members will receive $250 for attending council's regular monthly meeting, up from $100; and $50 for attending all other committee and special meetings, up from $5.
The mayor will receive $500 for attending the regular council meetings, up from $300; and $50 for special council meetings, for which the mayor didn't receive compensation in the past.
No provision was made for the mayor's attendance at committee meetings, which are chaired by a council member. The mayor leads the council meetings and may be called upon to break a tied vote.
The city clerk, who records minutes for regular and special council meetings, will receive $400 for the monthly meetings, up from $300; and $50 for special meetings, for which the clerk wasn't paid in the past.
The additional compensation for the various officials attending special and committee meetings depends on their attending those meetings, according to the ordinances approved by council.
The yearly salary of the collector-treasurer will increase from $20,000 to $27,000. A raise for the police chief, also an elected position, was discussed but dropped because the chief received an increase in pay in recent years.
While the police chief and collector-treasurer positions are described as full-time in city ordinances, compensation for the other city officials has been based upon attendance at meetings, though those officials may and often do serve the city outside the meetings.
Voting for the raises were 1st Ward Councilmen Bruce Hunter and Mike Mitchell, 2nd Ward Councilman Paul T. Billiard and Ron Michaux, 3rd Ward Councilman Randy Fletcher and 4th Ward Councilwoman Della Serevicz.
Fourth Ward Councilman Jeff Tarr voted against raises for council but supported the other raises. He couldn't be reached for comment. Third Ward Councilman Tom Diserio didn't attend the meeting.
Mayor Sue Simonetti said the raises are due because pay hasn't changed in 16 years for the mayor and council members and in six years for the collector-treasurer and city clerk.
No one from the public came to speak for or against the raises.
In related business, City Clerk Mary Blum announced the filing period for the city's April 2 primary election and June 11 general election will be held from Jan. 14 to 25, with forms and information available at the City Hall.

6 Hilariously Failed Attempts at Making Comics More Diverse
Diversity in superhero comics is a good thing. In a genre embarrassingly dominated by lantern-jawed white men and scantily clad babes, it's refreshing when writers and artists acknowledge that heroes can come from any race, gender, or nation. However, this doesn't necessarily reflect a change in the people who write the comics, and often their efforts to create the characters made it appear that they had never actually spoken to any non-white person in their lives. And so we wound up with ...
#6. Vibe, the Hispanic Superhero
When it came time for DC Comics to bring the world a young Hispanic superhero, it came up with Vibe. He started life in 1984 as Paco Ramone, a Detroit street kid with the power to generate vibrations from his hands, which is a skill that would actually be fairly useful in everyday life (think about it), but probably isn't as useful in fighting crime as, say, invincibility or flight. But of course the real reason he joined the Justice League was to heroically play victim to every Latin stereotype the 1980s had to offer:
Actual dialogue: "Wha'chu think?" "Fresh, huh?" "VIBE." "That's chill."
Each panel is like a clinic in oneupsmanship put on by a group of white guys who have never met a Hispanic person and are basing all of their character knowledge on break-dancing videos and the movie Scarface.
Mostly the former.
Despite Vibe's superhuman ability to create force vibrations, the attribute that gets the most attention is his power to wear Bret "The Hitman" Hart sunglasses with sleeveless T-shirts.
Along with his sidekick, the pompadour.
A sample storyline involves Vibe bringing one of his new white friends home so that his parents will be proud of him, because apparently white people are so revered in the Hispanic community that simply being associated with one elevates your personal status to that of a local hero.
"Dios mio! El Rey Blanco!"
The timeless old chestnut about "bringing white folk home to meet the family" is given a hip new twist as the writers, drawing upon all their personal knowledge of the character's ethnicity, have Vibe get furiously pissed at Whitey Poloshirt for acknowledging his younger sister's existence (see Scarface, above):
"Incoherent, thoughtless rage is sacred to my people!"
Respected comic book artist George Perez, who is of Puerto Rican descent, was particularly offended by Vibe, and said in a 1985 interview that the character single-handedly turned him off of the entire Justice League. When he worked on a later Justice League/Avengers crossover comic that was supposed to feature cameos by all the past members, Perez made sure Vibe's "cameo" consisted of nothing more than the bottom half of his legs.
#5. John Stewart, the African-American Green Lantern
When Green Lantern alternate Guy Gardner got hit by a bus, he was replaced in 1984 by a perpetually angry jive-talking black man named John Stewart. John's primary ability appeared to be reminding people of his blackness every other sentence, because apparently his writers forgot that comic books have pictures. They might as well have just called him "Black Lantern" and told everyone to go fuck themselves.
Featured in Panel 2: Green Lantern asking a white man with a dirty face if he has picked any cotton recently.
Maybe some context would help. Back in the 1970s, Green Lantern author Dennis O'Neil and artist Neal Adams tried to deal with complex topical issues like drug addiction and social injustice. John Stewart, who was created in 1971, was their attempt to address racism, but he comes off as being written by a nerdy white man who wants to make sure every panel clearly demonstrates that John is not a coloring mistake.
In one story arc, John starts dating a woman named Rose Hardin, who happens to be an ex-girlfriend of Hal Jordan. Hal gets pissed off that his ex is now dating a black man and challenges John to a mind battle, which might initially sound like he wants to play chess or Trivial Pursuit, but literally means that he wants to fight John inside his mind. When he shows up in Hal's vacuous skull chamber, John appears as several different personalities, each a worse stereotype than the one before (it isn't clear whether this is Hal's or John's doing).
"Lawdy! We's gun need some fried chicken up in here!"
The various shades of John Stewart include a pimp dressed as Robin Hood, a bongo-clutching African, Barry Bonds, and Balrog.
"Fuck tha police!"
Hal realizes that he's being a shithead and agrees to back off, and he and John part ways as friends. While this admittedly is trying to address a legitimate social issue, we argue that there was probably a better way for the writers to tackle latent racial prejudices than having Hal Jordan box the crows from Dumbo with his thoughts.
#4. Brother Voodoo, the Haitian Witch Doctor
In 1973, Marvel thoughtfully decided to add a Haitian character, surely hoping to broaden the horizons of readers with a look into the culture of that small, impoverished nation. The result was Brother Voodoo.
We're pretty sure no one at Marvel realized how badly Diversity Week could go.
The backstory is that after spending 12 years away in college and grad school, Jericho Drumm returns home to Haiti only to find his brother dying from a voodoo curse (part of the curse evidently prevented anyone from using a telephone or postcard to relay this information to Jericho).
"I was gonna shoot you an email, but then I got on TV Tropes, and suddenly 12 years later ..."
After his brother inevitably dies, Jericho visits the local witch doctor, Papa Jambo (sigh), and inexplicably decides to throw a decade of graduate-level education in the garbage and become Brother Voodoo, because the costume happens to be in his size. The costume, by the way, consists of a deep V-neck, green cutoff pants, and a bone necklace, because voodoo operates on a budget.
"We ain't fuckin' sorcery here."
In one of Brother Voodoo's more creepy "adventures," he uses his abilities to possess an attractive young doctor who has come to Haiti to help fight disease and make her fall in love with him.
It's like if a beer commercial was carried to its logical conclusion.
So Brother Voodoo, Marvel Comics' first Haitian superhero and a powerful practitioner of the mystic arts, uses his sorcery to trick a woman into having sex with him. He does this by infusing her body with the spirit of his dead brother, which means that in addition to essentially date-raping a woman, he is also having sex with his brother's ghost. Meanwhile, his white Marvel Comics label-mate Spider-Man is married to a supermodel and gets to swing around punching bank robbers all day long.

I have a recipe in front of me that calls for 1 pound, 2.5 ounces crushed 75L crystal malt. My store only sells in increments of 20L (so in this case, I have 60L and 80L). How would I calculate how much 60L and 80L crystal malt I would need to make 1 pound, 2.5 ounces of 75L?
Honestly, there's often more than 5ºL variation between batches of crystal by the same maltster, so I'd probably just buy the 80L and be done with it.
But, if you want to try to be more precise, the Morey equation for SRM (which is what most software uses) just assumes a linear proportional effect. So, you'd want 3 parts 80ºL to 1 part 60ºL.
In other words: 4.625oz 60ºL and 13.875oz 80ºL.
It doesn't really work that way. You can't proportion out a crystal malt and hope to get a different one.
You can play with math all you want with this. But if you put half a pound of C120 in a quart of water, you won't have the same color as one pound of C60.
And the flavor differences in the malts is pretty significant in that example too. Diluting down the raisin/dried fruit flavors of C80 or C120, don't get you to the light caramel flavors of C40 of C20. It just gives you diluted raisin/dried fruit flavors.
C75 is so close to C80, your best just doing a straight up sub.
Oh and before anyone asks, I've done these experiments before too.

Are any of you guys subscribers and if so would you recommend it? I am mainly interested in general software design and, as a language, C# and it's features. Is there much content posted on a regular basis along these lines to warrant the outlay?

In a recent session I was the superuser, and the very first challenge was a large group challenge, which I lost. As a result I acquired a fistful of bugs. That fistful was enough to dominate many challenges thereafter. Also, just by luck, those challenges did not earn many bugs for the players. If I used all the bugs, the players would not have won any challenge against me for quite some time. Therefore, I held back and didn't use them all. Is there some limit on how many bugs one user or superuser can hold at one time? Should I have just crushed the puny users with the bugs I had rightfully earned?

Which movie had the better cast, Cop Land or The Outsiders?
My brother and I have had an endless debate for years as to which movie had the better cast. I have always said The Outsiders cast was stronger then Cop Land. But as the years have gone on I think his argument is getting stronger where as my theory seems to be dying off (literally in some cases).
So what do you think? I would say the two big hitters would be Tom Cruise and Robert De Niro. And in that fight I would have to give it to Bobby D.
The top of each cast is listed below:
C. Thomas Howell
Matt Dillon
Ralph Macchio
Patrick Swayze
Rob Lowe
Emilio Estevez
Tom Cruise
Glenn Withrow
Diane Lane
Leif Garrett
Sylvester Stallone
Harvey Keitel
Ray Liotta
Robert De Niro
Peter Berg
Janeane Garofalo
Robert Patrick
Michael Rapaport
Frank Vincent

De Niro skews it a little but looking at the groups as a whole the Outsiders had a better cast.
You could always compromise and go with "Cop Out."
I'm inclined to go with Cop Land, strictly based on star power.
I'm going Outsiders based on the fact most of these guys were just starting their carreers (Rob Lowe's first movie).
I guess I think combining all the future stars is a far more impressive feat than paying a ton of big names to be in a movie together.
I secretly love enemble casts! (Noises off, Cannonball Run, It's a Mad Mad Mad Mad World, Smokin Aces)
if you're talking about star-power, box-office draw, and respect as an actor, Cop Land wins hands down. Cruise is the only really big star still alive from the outsiders, and swayze wasn't exactly a superstar either, even if you still count him. Emilio and Lowe are both B-listers today in my opinion
The Expendables
@wingnutzero: I was going to say that. It's hard to choose between Expendables 1 and 2, though. If you are looking at shaking your money-makers, these movies both have a lot of zeroes after their actors names.

Typography in digital experiences is unavoidable, and for years it was a fight we mostly lost. Today, however, technology is on our side! High resolution screens, an expanding library of open fonts and new flexibility in nearly every UI technology have made digital typography more fun and more interesting than ever. We'll cover all aspects of working with digital type: everything from choosing complimentary typefaces to licensing, rendering and a system for layout and sizing. We all love type. Come to this talk to learn why!
Oops, something didn't work.
Brasil também vai ta de olho na Palestra!!
Great job, Robby. Where can we get the slides?
The Rasterizing technique table for OS/Browser is really interesting at 1:01:52
Great presentation and presenter
I really enjoyed watching this, thanks for the interesting session.
This was the best session that I had the opportunity to see at Mix. Robby's enthusiasm for the subject really came through and made for a compelling presentation. The slide deck was absolutely gorgeous. Watch it!
First time I've seen someone who talk with such a passion about fonts.
Captivating presentation!
Great job Robby! The slides themselves were a beautiful effectuation of what was being presented.
Nice talk Mr. Robby Ingebretsen. I really loved the Grid Rules and the golden Rule (discovered from Pythagoras in the very early days :-) )
As you said, it can work like a pattern - framework for the designs. Actually thats the reason why Developers can do designing ?
Robby: typefaces have personalities - I think we all kind of knew it, but you put your finger squarely on the principle. Do you know of any good mapping tools for working with the large selection of typefaces at our disposal? For instance, it would be great to say, "Given the Windows 7 & Office 2010 font selection, show me a menu of font pallet that exude, say, peace and tranquility."
Greate talk. I really really love it. Good job!!! I wish I would have seen more such presentation this year
Robby is a great presenter. Hopefully we get to see more of him.
These are amazing videos #MIX11 .. so good

While I thought Mitchell had a lot going for her, several of us wanted a little more, a certain spark; Angelova and Renko seemed to possess that. And the corps was superb.
Both the choreography of Bejart's Sonate No. 5, and its music, the Bach piece for violin and continuo, are new to me. In her notes on the Kennedy Center web site, Farrell points out the classical (for Bejart) and solemn qualities of the work; that's the way it looked to me. The four performers, dancers Natalia Magnicaballi and Michael Cook, violinist Corey Cerovsek and pianist Glenn Sales seemed more than secure, and I look forward to further acquaintance with this dance. On first encounter, relations of bodily movement and musical progression were too often unclear.
Jerome Robbins's In Memory of ... concluded, in a powerful performance of a ballet I don't much care for to music that has always seemed to me, frankly, a little cracked, Berg's Violin Concerto (subtitled In Memoriam of an Angel in the program). (Berg's opera, Wozzeck, sounds the same way to me, but as it presents the world of someone whose mind is cracked, I have no problem with that aspect of it.) Elisabeth Holowchuk gave the performance of the evening for me, looking completely natural in the part danced by Suzanne Farrell originally; Momchil Mladenov gave a realization of the Death-figure part apparently based on a fuller, deeper grasp of it than I remember Adam Luders giving originally.

La Source has long been a favorite of mine, and although J. Russel Sandifer lights it like three ballets, depending on what's going on - the women tend to get the more lurid mix of pink and lavender and maybe a bit of orange, while Matthew Renko, especially in his solo variations - which got good hands - gets a good, self-effacing, warm but strong light. (Violeta Angelova also got nice hands for her solos in the two ensembles.)
I felt I saw pretty well into Sonate No. 5 this time, losing my way a little only in the last movement. The relation of the movement to the music changes along the way, too; and although I don't really know Bejart's method, I suppose he may have begun at the beginning and found his way along to the end, and if I use that approach, maybe that's not so bad .
Initially, as the continuo instrument, here a piano, leads off, we see the man's movements correspond to it; momentarily, the violin takes up its part, and the woman moves with it. At some moments, the correspondence is literal; for example, a high note is "touched" in the air by a raised hand or foot; but mostly the dancers' movements are more deeply expressive in a way consonant with the music of that moment, much as though the music were telling them what to do, not unlike in Balanchine's work, but heard differently and expressed with a different "voice."
In the middle movements, the dancers are alone; the woman's arms move lyrically, expressively, willing the violin's melody into existence while marking off the piano's rhythmic figures with her points, for instance. (We recall that in Concerto Barocco the identification of dancers with instruments also changes and develops.)
In the last movement, Bach becomes surprisingly implicative, simply repeating the same eight-note figure alternately in higher and lower register while the violin plays in long, slow ascending and then descending steps, nothing more. What Bejart hears here in this meditative music - maybe what I should say is what he infers here - looks complex, and I look forward to getting on with this further next time.
It helps that Magnicaballi and Cook perform with calm detachment much of the time, matching the evenness of the music. They seem to have exactly the right tone.
In Memory of... makes a monumental closer for the program; Holowchuk and her two partners, first the companionate Cook and later the menacing and finally successful Death figure (although not so identified in the program) along with the corps of sixteen give this a strong performance, helped greatly by Jennifer Tipton's very effective lighting design, "recreated by Nicole Pearce."
As to Berg's music, it came to me this evening that "tortured" might be a better word for it than "cracked". Maybe what sounds like its "cracked"-ness to me is like something giving way under tortuous strain. And finally, Robbins tells his melodrama effectively enough to its background, though maybe cribbing from Balanchine in the woman's resurrection in the redemptive ending.

And the backdrop by David Mitchell, "courtesy of New York City Ballet," is in mottled earth tones.
And both Sonate No. 5 and In Memory of... are company premieres.
*dresses, actually.

Sonate No. 5's relations between its music and its movement elude me in the fourth section; maybe this is just a free fantasia on Bejart's part, to time marked off by his musical collaborator here. I don't dislike this ballet at all, and I don't think the early sections are so formulaic as some of my friends seems to: Hearing what the music says and finding movement which "hears" that is not a mechanical thing, in my experience, but an enlarging one.
That experience has been more fortunate than Kaufman's. She says she has never loved Bejart's work (past tense) so that this ballet was something new to her. I'm glad for her, art at its best changes you, but thanks to Farrell and her illustrious "soul mate" - as she writes of Balanchine sometimes - I already had made very happy acquaintance with Bejart's Le Sacre du Printemps, which I had read that Balanchine admired, and Bejart's Romeo et Juliet, the "Scene d'Amour" from which Farrell's troupe presented not long ago.
(I'd also seen things like his Salome, to the "Dance of the Seven Veils," yet, where Patrick Dupond did air turns in a black kilt and the head of John the Baptist came in on a silver plater at the end, so I think I know where Kaufman is coming from!)

I miss the days of imported stars too. But the current company has dancers (Holowchuk, Angelova, Cook, Mladenov and Henning) that I'm always eager to see, and to my far less experienced and discerning eyes Natalia Magnacaballi has earned the ballerina label and had authority to spare in any number of things since she joined in '99, including Sonate No. 5 on this program, and Monumentum/Movements and Eight by Adler on the other this weekend.
All three ballets need a ballerina. No, a Ballerina, a Farrell, or at least a dancer who approaches her in authority and mystery and risk taking. We've come to believe that great ballets, well-constructed ballets, can exist on their own, that they're dancer proof, but that's not true. This program showed us the works (and for that I am very grateful) but they are as yet uninhabited. What was so wondrous about Farrell's first program here some years back, with the Washington Ballet supporting a collection of principals from a variety of companies, was that Farrell inspired extraordinary dancing from some of these artists. I never saw Susan Jaffe dance so confidently, so beautifully, before or since; Maria Calegari's dancing also rose to a new level. Peter Boal and, to a slightly lesser extent, Chan Hon Goh, revitalized the troupe a few years back. Stars need great ballets to dance, but the ballets need the stars too.
A woman I talked to yesterday remembers crying at the premiere of In Memory Of . . . at NYCB in 1985, with Farrell, Luders and Duell. I was moved yesterday not just by the tragedy and images of community, but by the fine acting of all three leads (Holowchuk, Mladenov, Cook).
I enjoyed this music. My well-mannered wife, sitting on the aisle with me, said she seriously considered slipping out of the theater!
As to Berg's music, it came to me this evening that "tortured" might be a better word for it than "cracked". Maybe what sounds like its "cracked"-ness to me is like something giving way under tortuous strain.

All reactions to music or dance or really any of the arts are to some degree legitimate even if some of them (or none of them) are exactly objective, but 'something giving way under tortuous strain' would be something music (or dance too, for that matter) could legitimately be doing. A lot of artistic expression is about collapse, breakdown and failure, of course. Those are components of tragedy, which does not 'succeed'.

LAE231: Language Arts 8 (2012-2013)
CURRICULUM PROGRAM: Special Education
COURSE TITLE: Language Arts 8
COURSE LENGTH: 36 weeks
About the Program:
This course is designed to facilitate student mastery of the DoDEA standards and essential objectives of the parallel general education course. Accommodations and modifications in content, instructional activities, evaluative techniques and essential objectives are implemented as appropriate for students with disabilities in support of their Individualized Education Programs (IEP).
Major Concepts/Content: The Language Arts 8 course is designed to strengthen students' skills in listening, speaking, writing, literature, and language. The content includes, but is not limited to, writing notes from information received aurally; developing an aware-ness of sexism, racism, and age bias in material heard, viewed, or read; differentiating between emotional and intellectual arguments in a spoken or written discussion; discriminating among fact, fiction, opinion, assumption, and inference in spoken and written language; writing paragraphs composed of an appropriate topic sentence and adequate supportive material; writing coherent answers on essay tests; writing in various modes for self-discovery, self-expression, and enjoyment; presenting narrative and descriptive writing; identifying basic literary terms as they are used in discussing literature, e.g., characterization, plot, setting, and mood; using parts of speech correctly in final written drafts and in speech in the classroom setting; and reading and reviewing self-selected books to help students learn to view reading as a useful and pleasurable activity.
Major Instructional Activities: Instructional activities will be provided in a general classroom setting, in the media center, and in the school and community environment. Student activities will include, but will not be limited to, writing journals or learning logs; writing persuasive and compare/contrast paragraphs; writing personal narratives, short stories, and poetry; writing and mailing personal and business letters; learning to respond to each other's writing with helpful suggestions for revision; taking several pieces of group and individual writing through a process that includes prewriting activities, drafting, peer response, revision, proofreading for spelling, punctuation, capitalization, grammar, and usage, and publishing; practicing writing from different points of view for different audiences; developing speaking and listening skills by responding to literature and to each other's writing and by participating in small and large group discussions and in oral presentations, individual recitations, and dramatizations; studying appropriate major works of literature intensively in class; reading, viewing, and listening independently to examples of the various genres of literature, and responding to that literature; presenting interpretations of literature orally; reading self-selected books and responding to them in journal entries, letters, group discussions, or oral or written book reports; practicing locating information in the media center using the card catalog and the Reader's Guide; and increasing vocabulary through the study of words encountered in reading and through work with the dictionary and the thesaurus.
Major Evaluative Techniques: Students will be evaluated for class participation; completion of reading assignments and book reporting requirements; comprehension of literature as measured by objective, essay, and/or oral examinations; and improvement in written compositions and oral presentations, with major emphasis on critical thinking, content, organization, specificity and relevance of detail and evidence of reasoning, and with secondary emphasis on skill growth in spelling, punctuation, capitalization, grammar, and usage.
Course Objectives: Upon completion of the Language Arts 8 course, student should be able to:
- Write notes from information received aurally.
- Identify basic literary terms as they are used in the analysis of literature.
- Be aware of the sexism, racism and age bias.
- Write papers that include paragraphs composed of appropriate topic sentences and adequate supportive material, using a variety of sentence patterns.
- Write coherent answers on essay tests.
- Use words accurately and appropriately in writing and speaking.
- Discriminate among fact, fiction, opinion, assumption, and inference.
- Write in various modes for self-discovery, self-expression, and enjoyment.

I just spotted TypeScript (http://www.typescriptlang.org/), and it looks promising. Has anybody had a chance to play around with it yet? I want to understand if it would be possible to produce a TypeScript declaration file to declare all the types from the Ext JS and Sencha Touch frameworks. I'd love to have better static analysis and tool support for my Sencha development work.

Just another thing to make things ugly
Regardless of how many times I say this comment was obviously a personal comment, it's still personal. If you haven't talked to me or followed me on Twitter or anything, I'm anal about my code and the syntax that TypeScript (even ES6) is ugly.Mitchell Simoens @LikelyMitch

The question is whether any thought has been given to providing a declarations file ... for those that don't find it "ugly", and that perhaps like correct code and productivity.

TypeScript declaration file for Sencha
I was thinking about looking at the existing declaration files that the TypeScript team already produced for JQuery, JQuery UI, node.js, etc. to figure out exactly what kind of metadata it needs and then seeing if it's possible to create declarations for some Sencha classes manually. Then, once I have an idea if it's possible and, if so, what exactly the declarations look like, I could try to automate the construction of the declaration file(s) from the Sencha class system. Even if you could manually create declarations for the entire framework, you wouldn't want to curate them manually; you would want them to be updated automatically whenever the underlying framework changes. Of course, it would be great if Sencha could provide the necessary type declarations. I'm sure the creators and maintainers of the framework understand it better than I ever will.

For something like Ext, I don't think it makes tons of sense. Ext provides a class system and takes care of most cross browser issues. It provides a ton of functionality that Js doesn't do on its own. As far as code analysis is concerned, Sencha recently released an eclipse plugin that brings plenty of code intelligence to the table. I think TypeScript would add a layer of complexity to Ext without bringing any benefit that it doesn't already have. TypeScript looks cool and I think it would be great to use if you are working with Js on its own, but not with something like Ext.

I think it would be worth it just for the intellisense...
FWIW - I was having a play with this today - extracting the data from the documentation - and I've got that into a C# object so I can play with it..
For now - as an example - I can generate code like this (this is pretty much straight from reading the jsduck json output) :
interface Ext_toolbar_Paging : Ext_toolbar_Toolbar {
// Cfg
afterPageText : String;
beforePageText : String;
displayInfo : Boolean;
displayMsg : String;
emptyMsg : String;
firstText : String;
inputItemWidth : Number;
lastText : String;
nextText : String;
prependButtons : Boolean;
prevText : String;
refreshText : String;
store : Ext.data.Store;
// Properties
// Events
beforechange(_this:Ext.toolbar.Paging,page:Number,eOpts:Object) : void;
change(_this:Ext.toolbar.Paging,pageData:Object,eOpts:Object) : void;
// Methods
bind(store:Ext.data.Store) : void;
doRefresh() : void;
getStoreListeners() : Object;
initComponent() : void;
moveFirst() : void;
moveLast() : void;
moveNext() : void;
movePrevious() : void;
onDestroy() : void;
unbind(store:Ext.data.Store) : void;
So - if someone knows the structure of the .d.ts file I should generate - I can have a go at doing it...

While I have never used Ext's eclipse plugin as it is bundled with Sencha Complete, I would think it would be much more intelligent for use with Ext than a third party language's intellisense. I would certainly support a person's decision to try to add it though.
4 Oct 2012 1:13 PM #9
Also, I can't write "correct javascript" when I'm using Ext because whenever I use this.callParent() it throws an error: "Uncaught TypeError: Illegal access to a strict mode caller function.ext-all.js:21"
/*jslint browser:true, es5:true*/ (function () { 'use strict'; var Ext = window.Ext; Ext.define('hello.Component', { extend : 'Ext.panel.Panel', html: 'Hello Component!', initComponent: function () { /* some init code */ this.callParent(arguments); } }); Ext.onReady(function () { var panel = Ext.create('hello.Component', { renderTo : Ext.getBody() }); }); }());
Even though there is an Eclipse plugin for Ext, I don't see it being an apealing option for windows developers to have to use both visual studio and eclipse to properly debug things at development-time....
Since the Ext docs are generated from the source, I don't think it would be difficult to generate .d.ts definitions as well out of them.
Since you can basically drop in any Javascript code "as is" into TypeScript, I don't see how you can compare it to being "ugly" like CoffeeScript as there is no need to port code over to a different compiler, I see it as an excellent way to gain tons of nice productivity tools for javascript in the visual studio ecosystem. Since Ext already has a nice class system, I don't see a reason to use many of the "ugly" parts.

What is Brain-Based Learning?
"Brain-Based Education is the purposeful engagement of strategies based on principles derived from solid scientific research."
Other research in related fields such as social neuroscience, psychoimmunology, behavioral genetics, psychobiology, cognitive science, neuroscience and physiology also play a role.
Brain-Based Learning is also the application of a meaningful group of principles that represent our understanding of how our brain works in the context of education.
Brain-Based Learning is simply the engagement of strategies based on body/mind/brain research..
Brain-Based Learning is not a panacea or magic bullet to solve all of education's problems. Anyone who represents that to others is misleading them. There is not yet a "one size fits all" brain-based program, model or package for schools to follow.
What Does a Brain-Based Teacher Do?
A brain-compatible teacher teaches with the brain in mind.
This educator understands the principles and uses strategies in a purposeful way. This path is all about an educator who understands the reasoning behind their teaching. It is also one who stays constantly updated through continuous professional development.
Eric Jensen's brain-based teacher workshops focus on practical strategies linking brain research to student achievement. At conferences, Eric Jensen typically does keynotes and breakout sessions. In addition, Eric is available to offer much longer, more in-depth programs and teacher workshops at your school or district. Each additional day gives your participants a stronger scientific foundation plus additional practical strategies, with time to practice on-site. Click to find out more on how to bring Eric Jensen to your school for a private teacher workshop.

The Islanders are back in Montreal¬Ýtonight to try and redeem them selves from the 5-1 beating they took last thursday. Doug Weight did not make the trip up due to the Flu.Katie Strang reports we will likely see Jeff Tamballini on the power play this evening as he will be taking Weights spot in the roster.
Moving on to news from Bridgeport, Mikko Koskinen will be out 8-10 weeks after suffering a torn labrum in his hip.Mikko is 1-1 this season with Bridgeport
On a final note we are still encouraging all our readers to sign the Islanders Goal Song Petition and help in our effor to get our old goal song back. PLEASE SIGN IT
¬Ýno comments
It took seven games but the Islanders have finally won this season. Thanks to the quick hands of Jeff Tamballini, Frans Nielson and of course, JOHN TAVARES the Isles salveged another third period collapse and won in the shootout, along with a much improved Dwayne Roloson.
It would be the Islanders who would once again have all the advantages in the first, with several scoring chances and one that became the Islanders first goal. At 8:11 Andy Sutton fed Matt Moulson in front of the net to give the Islanders the 1-0 lead, along with giving Moulson his fifth goal of the season. Later in the first Bredon Witt and Scott Walker would drop the gloves in front of the Isles net. Witt would be pumbled by Walker before finally getting a few good jabs in, then getting wrestled down to the ice.no comments
