As you may know, for the last 5 years or so, the PureMVC project has been hosted in SVN repositories and documented by Trac wikis, all hosted gratis by CVSDude, which then became Codesion, which has now become CloudForge.
The project has gone through growth spurts from ports to various languages, and a great many contributors have worked hard to provide ports, utilities, and demos. However there has always been a giant bottleneck, and that's me. Because the setup and security of the repositories and wikis via the Codesion interface has always been cumbersome, I have managed the creation of the wikis and the initial checkin of projects. The overhead associated with that (as well as verifying the project contents) has always been at least a half-day of effort, sometimes more than a day's worth. This has meant that when code goes into the queue, it sometimes takes quite a while before it shows up on PureMVC.org.
Then along came GitHub. Social coding. What a concept. Fork a project, fix a bug and send a pull request to the owner and it can be folded back into the original project with the touch of a button. Amazing. No muss, no fuss, just dive in and start coding.
GitHub even has their own application for Mac or Windows that allows you to manage projects without having to install and learn the git command line interface. Just click the 'clone to this computer' button on any GitHub repo. And you can always just download a .zip file of a project with a button click (I no longer need to create and publish an archive manually).
So, several months ago, I began migrating all the projects to GitHub. They are all there now, and the wiki is much easier to navigate and understand.
The SVN repositories will be left in place for as long as CloudForge will host them, but no new projects will be added to SVN and no updates to existing projects will be made in SVN. They are only there in case you have a build process that pulls in code from svn.puremvc.org. This is your notice to change that process to pull from GitHub, as there is no guarantee that the SVN repos will always be there.
The Trac wikis at trac.puremvc.org have been set up to redirect here:
Also, per-language subdomains have been setup for quick access to their associated PureMVC GitHub repo wiki:

5 Basic Facts of Life (Were Made Up by Marketing Campaigns)
#2. Creating a "Father's Day" Out of Thin Air
Jupiterimages/Creatas/Getty Images
We know what you're thinking: "But Cracked -- all holidays are just bullshit invented by greeting card companies! You could just as easily have Valentine's Day or Mother's Day on here! The world is a cynical shithole of commercialism, STOP WASTING OUR TIME!"
But that's actually not true at all. Valentine's Day goes back more than 1,500 years, and there were various holidays celebrating motherhood going all the way back to ancient Rome (and a Christian version goes back 500 years or so). It makes sense -- we all think Christmas is commercialized, but nobody thinks toy companies invented it.
All right, so then surely there's some historical Father's Day that has simply been hijacked by the world's necktie and cologne manufacturers.

"Gentlemen, we've successfully bottled our urine. Now we just need a market ..."
But It Actually Came From ...
Nope! Father's Day's roots are in fact firmly planted in struggling retailers wanting to sell you more crap (and realizing that guilting kids into spending money to prove that they love their parents was a great way to boost sales).
Jupiterimages/Photos.com/Getty Images
"Today you girls have learned a valuable lesson: Peer pressure works."
It's true that when a Spokane, Washington, woman named Sonora Dodd came up with Father's Day back in 1908, she might have had good intentions. But her method of spreading the holiday was to go around to local merchants and get them to start setting up "Father's Day" window displays promoting your typical manly staples such as neckties, hats, socks, and rye whiskey (probably). By 1921, the florists were on board. By 1925, tobacco companies were sending out promotional material to retailers, talking about "Father's Day" as if it were totally a holiday everyone was expected to buy gifts for. What we're trying to say is that Father's Day qualifies as a real holiday about as much as Taco Tuesday at your local Mexican joint.
When World War II rolled around, advertisers cranked it up to a whole new douche level by insinuating that Father's Day was the perfect way to celebrate the American troops and support the war effort -- because nothing says "supporting the war effort" like presenting Dad with a pair of cufflinks when all he really wanted was more rye whiskey and for the Nazis to give him his fucking foot back.
Tim Boyle/Getty Images News/Getty Images
"I saved your asses from fascism and you won't even buy me liquor?"
It's not like people were unaware of what was going on -- for decades the holiday was widely ridiculed as the cynical cash grab that it was. But cash grab or not, you couldn't be the kid who didn't get your dad a Father's Day gift when everybody else was doing it (even if the "everybody else" consisted mainly of kids in commercials), and eventually it just stuck. It finally became an official holiday when Richard Nixon signed off on it in 1972.
Today, more than $12 billion is spent each year on Father's Day gifts, putting it almost on par with Mother's Day. You know, the one that started because people loved their mothers, not because retailers loved their money. So when you forget to send Dad a card next Father's Day, just email him a link to this article instead -- we're sure he'll understand.

#1. Changing the Rules of Grammar
Ablestock.com/AbleStock.com/Getty Images
As far as definitions go, the one for the word "like" has got to be one of the simpler ones. It's not even a difficult word to use in an example sentence: You should drive like your sister does. It looks like rain. This burrito acts like a bean-flavored enema.
See, this shit ain't hard. Writing sentences using the word "like" is like cake.
But It Actually Came From ...
Did you notice anything wrong with those sentences we just spouted off? No? How about this one: "Winston tastes good like a cigarette should." Notice anything wrong with that? Well, people in 1954 sure did, and they threw an absolute shit fit about it.
Surprisingly, it had nothing to do with them using a children's cartoon to hawk cancer sticks.
Newspapers condemned Winston's slogan, The New Yorker published a poem deriding it, and Walter Cronkite refused to read it on the air. Not because he'd be promoting rolled-up lung rot, but because the slogan used the word "like" instead of "as."
You see, the use of the word "like" as it appears in that slogan was seriously frowned upon back in the day. The word "like" had two uses: You could use it as a preposition (to directly compare two nouns) or as a regular old verb. You couldn't use it as a conjunction, as in the joining of two clauses in a sentence. When conjunctionating, you were supposed to use "as," as in: Winston tastes good as a cigarette should.
Apic/Contributor/Hulton Archive/Getty
"We care as much about grammar as we do about your lungs."
But Winston didn't give a shit about their grammar, or about the public outcry, or about a cranky Cronkite. They gave a shit about sales, and in that respect, their advertisements worked like a charm. The more people complained, the more Winston ran the ads, and the more people saw the ads and talked about them, the more they wanted those sweet, sweet Winston cancer sticks. Winston even put out playful commercials poking fun at the grammar controversy.
As for the word "like," it also became more popular. And yeah, it continued to piss off English teachers everywhere. But the biggest slap in the face to stuffy grammarians came in 1961, when Merriam-Webster changed the definition of "like" to also make it a conjunction, and cited Winston's usage in their reasoning. Today, people don't even notice the incorrect usage. Perhaps Winston's ad executives were deviously tapping into our instinctive love of that word. Hell, today it's one of the biggest verbal tics in the English-speaking world, right up there with "um" and "uh." The word is, like, everywhere.

Dear Fifesoft:
I'm a user from China. I'm very like your software.It's very useful! And then I have a feature suggestion for the RSyntaxTextArea.
In China or other Non-Latin language countries.Our document is usually contains Latin and special characters.
But the JTextArea is just support one font. If we choice a font that only support Latin(e.g. Courier New),
most of characters will be not display. Set the font to a
local font or a logic font can solve this problem,
but is not good to display Latin. So, I hope to set the font of English and Chinese at same time like the Word of Microsoft Office.
I hope you will consider my proposal.Best wishes for you!

Another one. Carlos Quenedit defects. Story by Jordan Levin in The Miami Herald.
Quenedit will be joined by three other Cuban principal dancers, Taras Domitro, Hayna Gutierrez and Miguel Angel Blanco, who defected from the National Ballet in December while on tour in Canada. The three have already performed several times with CCBM, a troupe that has become a launching pad and first stop for Cuban dancers.
''I'm going to have to rent a yacht -- a fast one,'' joked Pedro Pablo Peña, co-artistic director of the Cuban Classical Ballet.
And also from the Herald article...
Quenedit went to Mexico approximately a year ago and had been dancing there with Ballet de Monterrey, which is headed by fellow Cuban Luis Serrano, a former principal dancer with Miami City Ballet. On April 21 he headed north, seeking more artistic opportunity, Peña says. ``He's very young, so he comes with all this desire to dance and do everything. For our part, we're very happy, and he'll also get the chance to show himself.''Serrano says that the young newcomer has a lot to show. ''He's a prince,'' Serrano said Tuesday from his company's offices in Monterrey. ``He's got a great physique, tremendous talent, great charisma. He's got everything he needs to dance with any company in the world.''Serrano says he encouraged Quenedit to travel to the United States. ``He always said he wanted to try the U.S., and I always said I'd support him 100 percent. Dancers have to fly, and you have to let them test their wings.''
So i just wanted to give Carlitos a warm WELCOME! . It's really wonderful that even if we (Cubans) can't go and see them over there it's still happening the other way around!. Oh well, once again, i feel very happy to see them coming and showing all they have to show. Carlitos, i wish you the best of lucks and I'll be at the Artime to whistle as a madman as in the old Lorca times.
Note: BTW, as per Tuesday 29, his position was that of requesting political asylum.
And this is a pic of him as Espada in the Cuban production of Don Quijote.
I wonder where will he be heading now that he's gone from the MCB roster...

I would like to be able to find maximum values of degree-3 homogeneous polynomials, when the variables are non-negative real numbers that sum to 1. For example,
For example, the maximum value of $xy^2$ subject to $x+y=1$, $x\ge0$, $y\ge0$, occurs when $x=1/3$ and $y=2/3$.
And the maximum value of $xyz + xyw + xzw$ subject to $x+y+z+w=1$, $x,y,z,w\ge0$, occurs when $x=1/3$ and $y=z=w=2/9$.
I have found that I can do many cases by hand (using Lagrange multipliers), but I would like to be able to do this computationally.
The motivation is I would like to be able to compute 3-graph Lagrangians (see e.g. this paper) of arbitrary 3-graphs. (A 3-graph is a 3-uniform hypergraph.)
I would appreciate any pointers in the right direction...
Edit: I am only interested in obtaining exact answers. I know how to solve these problems numerically.

6 Awesome Stories of Bystanders Becoming Heroes
We'd like to think that if a life-or-death situation landed at our feet, some magic adrenaline monster inside us would step forward to save the day. Like we'd turn into the Hulk, but without the greenness, anger, or shredded denim. The reality, of course, is that the vast, vast majority of people stand around and stare, muttering something about waiting for help to come along.
So let's once again stop and salute the nobodies who stepped up in the face of disaster when no one else would.
#6. A Homeless Drifter Saves the Life of a Newborn Baby at a Truck Stop
Marc Debnam/Digital Vision/Getty Images
The "Nobody"
Gary Wilson: mysterious drifter bound for Memphis. Truck stop vagrant or angel? You be the judge after you hear what he did.
The Heroism
Despite having two mannish names, Keaton Mason was a woman, and more pertinent to this story, a pregnant woman in labor. She was on her way to the hospital with her fiance when the baby decided a truck stop was just as good as a hospital to get born in (babies are pretty stupid). This particular baby came out in the usual way -- via stork exiting the vagina carrying a baby -- but she wasn't breathing, because the umbilical cord was wrapped around her neck. That's bad news anywhere, but at a truck stop, it's kind of the worst.
Jupiterimages/Comstock/Getty Images
If they'd just kept going to the next stop ...
Despite having just given birth to a new person, Mason had the strength and good sense to scream for help while her husband-to-be dialed 911. Surely among the worldly drivers and good time girls standing idly by there would be someone who knew what to do -- and there was. A long-haired, bearded man holding a sign that said "Memphis" came forward. The sign wasn't just a trendy suggestion for the new baby's name, it was Gary Wilson's hopeful destination.
"Coincidentally, I was going there for baby back ribs."
While everyone else was freaking the hell out, Wilson freed the cord from the girl's neck and began to rub her back. The first one seemed intuitive, but how did he know to rub her back to get her breathing? Magic? Was he Jesus? Eventually, Gary "Jesus" Wilson took over the 911 call and talked to the dispatcher directly, receiving directions on how to cut and tie off the umbilical cord and get the baby's college fund all set up. For his trouble, the truck stop gave Wilson a meal and a place to sleep. But he was gone by the next morning, taken back up to heaven. Or in the back of a pickup to Memphis, whatever.
Like Michael Landon, but with more hobo stink.
#5. A Middle-Aged Mom Saves an Old Lady from an Oncoming Train
The "Nobody"
Laurie Ann Eldridge was a 39-year-old single mom working on her front yard garden when she noticed something weird -- her daffodils were blooming early. Also, there was a car stuck on the railroad track near her house. In the car was an elderly woman who thought she was on the road to the mall 60 miles away.
The Heroism
In the same moment that Eldridge noticed Angeline Pascucci stuck on the track, she heard the unmistakable wail of a train coming from around the bend. Suddenly, this peaceful gardening moment was a cliche scene in a terrible action movie. Thanks to the turn in the track, the engineer couldn't see the car stuck on the rails, and Pascucci obviously wasn't in charge of her faculties at that second. So the only person who knew a gruesome tragedy was about to strike was Eldridge.
"It was just like that Denzel Washington movie with the train, Training Day."
It's important to know that Eldridge had a disabling back injury and hadn't run in 10 years, but she sure as hell didn't have enough time to skip her way over to Pascucci -- instinct kicked in, and Eldridge ran. Barefoot. Double unfortunately, Pascucci was so disoriented that this frantic gardener must have looked like a big city carjacker to her, and she wouldn't budge from her soon-to-be demolished car. Would you, if you thought the Sears Elderly Woman's Department was only a few minutes away? Of course not, which was why Eldridge had to reach through the car window, unlock the door, and wrestle the old lady out of her car. The two rolled down an embankment like mismatched lovers in a romantic comedy.
The train came by soon after and slammed the car clear off the tracks. Pascucci was unhurt and presumably grateful. Or confused as shit. Eldridge, on the other hand, took away some severely cut up feet from all the splinters she'd stepped on during the rescue. She would later receive a Carnegie Hero Fund Award for her heroism and patience with the elderly.
Jason Cox
"She showed the type of elder patience unseen since Mark Baker helped his nana set up her Skype account."
#4. A Japanese Surfer Scuba Dives to Tsunami Victims
Stockbyte/Stockbyte/Getty Images
The "Nobody"
Hideaki Akaiwa was just a regular guy working a regular job when the 2011 Tohoku earthquake shook his world apart. The good news for Akaiwa was that he was several miles inland when the 130-foot tsunami struck his town. The bad news was that his wife and mom weren't so lucky.
Rick Westhead/Toronto Star
"Fuck you, ocean. I'm not done with them yet."
The Heroism
When the ocean itself swallows your city, what do you do? Common sense and the 1998 disaster film Deep Impact tell you to make for higher ground as fast as you can and hope that your loved ones do the same. Fortunately for everyone involved, Akaiwa had opted for watching Armageddon instead of Deep Impact. Akaiwa's neighborhood wasn't just wet, it was under 10 feet of water. While everyone else was waiting around for the government or international aid groups to show up, Akaiwa found a wetsuit and scuba gear and started swimming.
At this point you might be thinking, "Big deal. I swim everyday," which makes you both a liar and a dummy, because when Akaiwa put on his wetsuit and started diving into what remained of his neighborhood, he wasn't swimming through the beautiful clear waters of the Bahamas, kissing on dolphins and stealing coral and whatnot. He was swimming through cold, dark water filled with chunks of buildings and downed power lines. Akaiwa found his house, and in it he found his wife up to her neck in water, gasping for air. He pulled her to safety, and rescue #1 was complete.
Akaiwa, displaying a pimp hand so strong that it must be gloved when not in use.
When his mother didn't turn up in the next few days and the ocean was still hanging around like that one old high school friend who can't take a hint, Akaiwa returned to the water, swimming until he found her on the second floor of her house, just waiting around for help. Full success on rescue #2.
With all of his relatives rescued, Akaiwa hung up his wetsuit and let rescue services handle the rest. Or he would have, if this was a normal person. Instead Akaiwa geared up, packing a knife, work gloves, a flashlight, some green tea (because Japan), some water, and a change of clothes. Then he slapped on some sunglasses and got right back to rescuing complete strangers from the icy flood waters. In fact, he cut off the interview that gave the press the story so he could continue looking for survivors. After apologizing to the reporter talking to him, of course.
And apparently making them wetter than the waters he was about to dive into.

Is there some kind of pwd generator for Linux that has a nice GUI and options like this one for Windows? I know that there is
pwgen, but as far as I know it does not support mouse/keyboard entropy and it does not have any kind of front end GUI's... or does it?
An better one is APG that optionally uses
If you want a GUI, there's jpasswordgen in Java, so it works everywhere.
IMHO, I don't see the usefulness of using a GUI for this. The goal is to get passwords, and pwgen/apg can even generate nicely formatted lists of passwords.
KeePass (and KeePassX) are password safes but also allow you to generate passwords using keyboard and mouse entropy.
You could also give Duckduckgo a try. It is basically a search engine with many nice features, i.e. generating passwords: strong password with 17 chars. The best thing is: You can use it with any operating system. :-)

He's one of the best offensive linemen in the state, winning the Outstanding Lineman Award for District 2 in Class 3A. He is also a powerlifter, placing fifth in the state last year and a member of the Ardmoreite Super Team.
Unlike most athletes, he's in the band and is a member of the Elite "Show Case" Choir. Outside of school, Hawk is an active member of the Faith Southern Baptist Youth Group. With all he has done at Dickson, he certainly won't forget his experiences.
Hawk didn't just get through it, he excelled. This student-athlete is just as strong in the classroom as in the weight room. He ranked third in his class with a 4.07 grade point average. On top of his regular schooling, he also attends the Regional Oklahoma School of Science and Math in Ardmore. Hawk knows all of this has only prepared him more for the next level.
Congratulations to John on being named this week's A+ Athlete.
We'll introduce you to another A+ Athlete every Friday here on First News AM. School officials, coaches, teachers, and counselors are encouraged to send in your nominees.

I want to start learning about databases from a penetration tester's perspective and I would like to know what things will be useful on the long run.
Also do you know any good books to kickstart my experience with databases?
I want to start learning about databases from a penetration tester's perspective and I would like to know what things will be useful on the long run.
Also do you know any good books to kickstart my experience with databases?
This question is very broad. In general you need to know how all different technologies are configured and what their weaknesses are (refer to google).
"Databases" is a broad term. There are many types of databases using different languages:
When pentesting you can either focus on the service provided by the database itself:
The means can be different as well: you might want to dump the contents from the database or you might try to make the database issue a command (if it runs as SYSTEM/root you can get access to the underlying server to stage more attacks).
There are tons of different books on databases. In general I always look at everything O'Reilly has to offer. They have a quite rigorous reviewing and admission process. I suggest starting with SQL and LDAP as you will see these more in the wild than any other protocols.
Depending on what you need, database itself might be a nice first step to infiltrate or exfiltrate the rest of the OS. Learn the commands that allow you filesystem access (e.g. LOAD DATA INFILE)
Using data from databases can be very effective for enumeration of accounts. Often database names, users' names, table name match system user's names.
Passwords are my favorite content of databases. People tend to reuse passwords, so you can use them on system user accounts, email accounts, etc. Another thing about passwords in databases, they're usually stored using lousy hashes, like the old MySQL hash, or oracle's DES based hash, which are all very quickly crackable.
Also, you can find out more about the system with
Then you will usually have some sort of subshell mechanism, or at least ability to run SQL scripts from the filesystem. That's more DB<->filesystem communication, which can be useful.
I would like to tell you that apart from the above learn sql injection also. The sql injection is mainly for developers, but its good to know that since you are thinking like a penetration tester.

Consider the p-V diagrams of an ideal and real stirling cycle, as found here The article suggests that dead volumes reduce the efficiency of a stirling engine. On the other hand, a simple thought experiment that comparas an ideal stilring engine A with a bigger real stirling engine B, where B has dead volumes so the amount of actually working fluid in both is the same, suggests that the thermodynamic efficiency should be the same. Only the power-per-cycle should suffer from dead volume.
To clarify, dead volume means volume (in the hot or cold chamber or regenerator) not being swept by the pistons.

Question. Let $V$ be a complex projective manifold of general type (we can even assume that the canonical bundle of $V$ is ample). Suppose $\varphi: V\to V$ is a non-identical automorphism. Can $\varphi$ be isotopic to the identity map (i.e. $\varphi\in Diff_0(V)$)?
I hope the answer is no, and this can be easily proven when $K_V$ is very ample.
More generally what restrictions are known on smooth manifolds that admit self-diffeos of finite order that are isotopic to identity?

WASHINGTON � A staggering 1 in 3 seniors dies with Alzheimer�s disease or other types of dementia, says a new report that highlights the impact the mind-destroying disease is having on the rapidly aging population.
Dying with Alzheimer�s is not the same as dying from it. But even when dementia isn�t the direct cause of death, it can be the final blow � speeding someone�s decline by interfering with their care for heart disease, cancer or other serious illnesses. That�s the assessment of the recent report released by the Alzheimer�s Association, which advocates for more research and support for families afflicted by it.
�Exacerbated aging,� is how Dr. Maria Carrillo, an association vice president, terms the Alzheimer�s effect. �It changes any health-care situation for a family.�
In fact, only 30 percent of 70-year-olds who don�t have Alzheimer�s are expected to die before their 80th birthday. But if they do have dementia, 61 percent are expected to die, the report found.
Already, 5.2 million Americans have Alzheimer�s or some other form of dementia. Those numbers will jump to 13.8 million by 2050, Tuesday�s report predicts. That�s slightly lower than some previous estimates.
Count just the deaths directly attributed to dementia, and they�re growing fast. Nearly 85,000 people died from Alzheimer�s in 2011, the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention estimated in a separate report Tuesday. Those are people who had Alzheimer�s listed as an underlying cause on a death certificate, perhaps because the dementia led to respiratory failure. Those numbers make Alzheimer�s the sixth leading cause of death.
That death rate rose 39 percent in the last decade, even as the CDC found that deaths declined among some of the nation�s other top killers � heart disease, cancer, stroke and diabetes. The reason: Alzheimer�s is the only one of those leading killers to have no good treatment. Today�s medications only temporarily ease some dementia symptoms.
But what�s on a death certificate is only part of the story.
Consider: Severe dementia can make it difficult for people to move around or swallow properly. That increases the risk of pneumonia, one of the most commonly identified causes of death among Alzheimer�s patients.
Likewise, dementia patients can forget their medications for diabetes, high blood pressure or other illnesses. They may not be able to explain they are feeling symptoms of other ailments such as infections. They�re far more likely to be hospitalized than other older adults. That in turn increases their risk of death within the next year.
�You should be getting a sense of the so-called blurred distinction between deaths among people with Alzheimer�s and deaths caused by Alzheimer�s. It�s not so clear where to draw the line,� said Jennifer Weuve of Chicago�s Rush University, who helped study that very question.
The Chicago Health and Aging Project tracked the health of more than 10,000 older adults over time. Weuve�s team used the data to estimate how many people nationally will die with Alzheimer�s this year � about 450,000, according to Tuesday�s report.
That�s compatible with the 1 in 3 figure the Alzheimer�s Association calculates for all dementias. That number is based on a separate analysis of Medicare data that includes both Alzheimer�s cases and deaths among seniors with other forms of dementia.
Last year, the Obama administration set a goal of finding effective Alzheimer�s treatments by 2025, and increased research funding to help. It�s not clear how the government�s automatic budget cuts, which began earlier this month, will affect those plans.
But the report calculated that health and long-term care services will total $203 billion this year, much of that paid by Medicare and Medicaid and not counting unpaid care from family and friends. That tab is expected to reach $1.2 trillion by 2050, barring a research breakthrough, the report concluded.

spoilers bitch...
Marvel will just rectcon it in 8 months like they do everything, It's impossible to spoil their shit when it comes to major characters.
As long as they refuse the possibility of ending the story or taking it into territory that will change the status quo forever, there's really nothing they can do with this except cockblock interesting things from happening until someone figures out some kind of bullshit that will get Peter Parker back in the costume.
I'm glad I stopped reading these things a long time ago.
Marvel ruined Spider-man forever with that Brand New Day garbage. The great thing about Peter Parker was that he grew up with his readers. He went from high school kid to college student to family man living in Avengers Tower and working for Tony Stark. Now that the last twenty years of character development have been thrown out the window, there's no good reason to care what happens to him next.
That's what I like about Batman. He's fundamental, archetypical, iconic. There's no way to ruin his character. The worst Batman comics I've ever read were still good comics.
I've got more of a beef with Marvel than anything else, their "events" fall flat on their ugly face because they don't know how to properly plan the long reaching effects. I would actually be ok with them just doing events as a self contained thing. Or devoting their time to self contained stories in general. Its just silly that Beast is currently comatose in one book, fighting with a covert Avengers team on the other side of the world in another book, while being a member of the Illumanti Avengers in another. If these were self contained stories, it wouldn't be as retarded.
When the ultimate universe shit started coming out I thought it was great but just like their mainline universe it was allowed to go on for too long without deviation and now everything more or less has a status quo they're too chickenshit to move away from.
DC isn't much better at this shit either, mind you. But Marvel always has this, "We don't give a fuck we got all these pussy ass bitches by the throat anyway so cough up that loot" attitude about it and frankly, fuck them.
I was ten times happier with Marvel when they were just a logo with fun characters in my fighting games.
Dude I got banned from marvel.com after Brand New Day came out. If I remember correctly they got sick of me when I started drawing comparisons to 9/11. The only good thing about Marvel right now is Joss Whedon. IMO
thanks for the spoiler but yeah I agree with you, what the fuck!
Peter Parker & MJ have a rocky moment or a lapse in trust, decide to seperate, and finally get a divorce because they grew apart. Though, they'd probably get back together after a year or so.
That's all Marvel had to do. It really wasn't that hard.
All Marvel really had to do was let me beat Joe Quesada with a pool cue.
Or, y'know, any random gardening implement and/or power tool. Not picky when it comes to justice.
Write me up on dick behavior then. I always knew snitching was in your kool-aid blood.
What's with the sassy ass 15 year old bullshit attitude lately anyway?
"You're not bloo ew go away..." Who the fuck do you think you are? Do I have to pull rank here? I'm one month your senior, and join dates mean everything you already know that. I am one month more important than you.
"blah blah blah with an ellipsis at the end like it's an AOL chatroom..." I don't go on the forums to sift through people's personality disorders. Either get yourself checked in for uglyface rehab or consult oncoming traffic.
Also, I am reluctant to say I am hooked on the Young Justice cartoon. Watching the trailer for it's january return and it looks like it's going to get the plug pulled soon so they're bringing in all the big guns. I saw Trigon, Mongul, and DeathStroke in the latest trailer. That's on top of the current Reach invasion the show is just about to unleash. They already acknowledged Jason Todd in the show too so maybe even the red hood is gonna get in that ass.
EDIT: On the serious, I put it in spoiler tags
Captain America #10, released earlier this year.
That made me chuckle.
Marvel Comics, and Disney by association, hates cancer kids.
That's cool that they're doing a new Defenders comic. They were among my favorites.
Tagged because I know I've been posting waaay too much of that stuff lately. He was awesome though! Dude had the Luke Skywalker thing where he fought his evil dad and such. I have his Defenders run and some of his independent series as well. It's amazing what they let kids read in the late seventies/early eighties.
Thanks for throwin a tag on that.
I watched the first few episodes of young Justice and enjoyed it. I might go back to it at some point. Though does nolan north voice Superman and Superboy in that?
In fun news, New saga issue was Fucking awesome. also I got some cool Fiona staples art for xmas, poster, issue with one of her covers that I love. Might try to read the new Hickman/Opena Avengers issue today. shit is so good!
Nolan does voice both yes.
Background info: A decade ago Kevin Smith began a comic mini-series called 'Spider-man/Black Cat: The Evil that Men Do'. Smith put out three or so issues and then stopped, never finishing it until a few years later. I only bought the first couple issues and so I never bothered with it when it finally came back. Anyways, there's a character Smith created in it name Mr. Brownstone. He was a mutant with the ability to teleport liquids over small distances. Not a very remarkable power, right? Well he uses it in his trade as a drug dealer to put heroin in people's bodies without using needles or anything else intrusive.
The point: Ever since reading about this guy, I randomly will think about his power when driving and another motorist is an idiot or too slow or whatever. I think about how if I had this dude's power I'd put water in these folks' tires as their driving. I don't even know what, if anything immediately noticeable, that would do. But that's my big nerdy idea of road rage; I would telepathically fill your tires with water while you're driving ten miles under the speed limit on the highway.
If they're in the right lane they are technically doing nothing wrong.
I'm always in the fast lane.
Unless I'm driving through Wisconsin and trying to avoid a ticket, because those troopers are relentless.

The Dirac Equation is $$ i\hbar \frac{\partial \Psi}{\partial t}=\left[c\sum_i{\alpha_i p_i}+mc^2\beta\right]\Psi $$ with the constraints $$ \{ \alpha_i,\alpha_j\}=2\delta_{ij} \\ \{ \alpha_i, \beta\}=0 \\ \{ \beta, \beta\}=2 $$ imposed to get the relativistic dispersion $E^2=(mc^2)^2+(pc)^2$. In 3D, the smallest size allowed for the $\alpha$ and $\beta$ matrices is 4x4, and this describes a spin 1/2 particle.
I've heard that using 6x6 matrices describes a spin 1 particle. I've also heard that Maxwell's Equations follow from the Dirac Equation using 6x6 matrices. Is this true? If so, do you have a reference for this? If not, what happens if I try to use a 6x6 or larger matrix to describe a particle?
Also, I know that 2x2 matrices describe a spin 1/2 particle in 2D. Is there an analogous Dirac Equation for 1D? I realize that proper rotations make no sense in 1D, so I don't expect there to be a 1D Dirac Equation, but if there is one, please correct me.

WACO (January 15, 2013)—A student's remote-control helicopter triggered the fire sprinkler system Monday afternoon in the Heritage House residential facility in Baylor University's North Village, creating a soggy mess on the first day of the spring semester.
The water damaged five suites in the building, temporarily displacing 26 students.
A full cleanup is expected to take about a week, the university said Tuesday.
Officials were assessing damage to the students' property Tuesday.
Waco firefighters were sent to the building at around 4:35 p.m. Monday in response to a water-flow alarm and discovered the sprinklers had activated on the second floor of the building and that water was flowing down to the first floor.
"We are assessing the damage right now, cleanup is underway, and if students have been displaced by the flooding, we are finding them temporary housing," university spokeswoman Lori Fogelman said.
The building is home to 254 residents and houses students participating in the school's Engineering and Computer Science Living-Learning Center.
It was built on the site occupied from 1924 to 2003 by the Second Baptist Missionary Church.

A walking cane is probably the most common mobility device prescribed for seniors. When used properly, a walking cane will increase your base of support and reduce strain on the legs and back as it helps you move forward. A walking cane requires you have enough strength in your arm, since the arm must partially support the body's weight. If you have a slight problem with balance or instability, some weakness in your leg or some pain from a condition like rheumatoid arthritis, a cane may be enough to help you compensate and provide support.
Most canes are made of hardwood or aluminum. The most familiar walking cane style is the straight-tip style with a C-shaped or crook handle and a single rubber-capped bottom. This basic style is usually inexpensive, but if you have hand pain or discomfort, you may find it difficult to grasp. A walking cane with a functional offset handle, contoured similar to the gripping hand, is more easily grasped and provides better support. Other straight-tip canes may have different handle styles such as ball-shaped, slanted or stirrup-like. An ortho-cane has a palm grip with a curved staff on top for a firmer grip and better balance.
Look for a 1"-2" wide rubber tip at the end for adequate traction and safety. Wide-based canes offer more stability and support—"tripod" canes have 3 and "quad" canes have 4 rubber-capped feet at their base.
You may be able to make your favorite cane more secure with an attachable wider base, like the Able Tripod Cane Base/Tip that allows almost any cane to become self-standing on a variety of flat surfaces.
Many styles are adjustable. Just as it sounds, an adjustable cane can be easily shortened or lengthened to suit your height, enabling you to get just the right length for you. Folding canes are a great option for using away from your home and when traveling. When you get into a car, for instance, you simply collapse a folding cane, then unfold it when you arrive at your destination. Folding canes also pack easily in a suitcase or carry-on bag.
Whatever walking cane style you choose, it should be properly measured and/or adjusted. At the right height, it should allow you to stand with both shoulders level and the angle of the flexed elbow at between 25 to 30 degrees.
With the popularity and useful function of walking canes, gone are the days of the back brown wooden cane as your only option. Today's styles include not just bright colors, but also interesting patterns, from paisley to flowers to even the red hats of the women's group, The Red Hat Society. You're sure to find a design that suits your personality and becomes an accessory that keeps you mobile and active.

Engineers and designers are highly skilled individuals. Forcing them to enter design changes using tables, forms and spreadsheets is unproductive and uneconomical, and it increases the likelihood of human error—this is the way that most instrumentation software systems currently work. For too long, software vendors have denied engineers and designers the simple practicality of a graphical visual engineering interface with "drag and drop" capability and inbuilt intelligence, ensuring changes are automatically replicated into all the associated data and databases.

This is my code for bubble sorting:
When i compile and run this set of codes, my application crashes. Somewhat i have a feeling that the array size of 262144 is the issue. when i just keyed in 262 for the array size (n), i get my image[0] to image[261] sorted in an increasing order. but i cant check for my array size of 262144. is this somewhat of a syntax error or some array overflow issue? what should i do? please help me on this thanks.
void CLEO_MedivisionView::OnNoiseremovalMedianfilter() { int n=262144; for(int x=0; x<n; x++) { for(int y=0; y<n-1; y++) { if(image[y]>image[y+1]) { int temp = image[y+1]; image[y+1] = image[y]; image[y] = temp; } } } }

Laying out components at runtime using a UI
I'm new to Sencha Touch, so I'll apologise in advance if the answers to these questions are obvious...
Suppose I wanted to allow a user to add new components and containers to a main panel at runtime using a UI. I could imagine a clunky way of doing this that would map easily to the ST APIs, but it would be very tedious to use, especially on something like a tablet. So has anyone implemented something like this that makes good use of the multitouch interface, e.g. dragging an component over another component to put them both in a new container, using a rotate gesture to switch from an HBox layout to a VBox layout and so on. And if so, is there something publically visible that demonstrates this working in practice.
Related to this question, suppose I had a mechanism that allowed a user to build a panel of components at runtime. They might naturally want to save such a layout and reuse it later. What would be the best way of doing this? I presume I could save the DOM tree representing the panel, and load that back in again. But could I then build an ST Ext.Container from this tree. Or would I have to serialize and save the Ext.Container itself (presumably risking the layouts breaking if a new version of ST came along?).
15 Mar 2012 7:01 AM #2
Look at the TouchStyle example for different layouts based on device and orientation.
For dynamic components at runtime you could store the JSON config for each in a database. When your app starts, fetch the component's JSON and add it to an Ext.create(JSON). What's nice about Sencha is you can use xtype for configuration instead of creating individual objects.
15 Mar 2012 7:28 AM #3
But the TouchStyle example seems to be an example of essentially programmatic changes to the layout in response to orientation and form factor. That's not really what I'm looking for. I want the user to be able to start with a blank panel and, though user interaction, add new components and containers to the panel, and add the layout requirements, in a natural fashion. I.e. I want to be able to construct a simple GUI UI builder that runs at runtime, and is controlled by the user, as opposed to building a UI programmatically at "compile" time. I'm not planning on making the whole of the UI configurable by the user, but just some of it. In the same way as users can often configure an IDE by rearranging panels, docking them etc. But making good use of multitouch if possible.
15 Mar 2012 8:23 AM #4
Sencha Touch can most definitely handle what you're looking to do.
Lets say you're creating a simple drawing program with Sencha Touch. The basic flow would be something like this...
- create a new touch project (Sencha Designer makes everything below so simple... )
- add a toolbar up top with element buttons (circle, square, paint bucket, etc..)
- add a panel below the toolbar for drawing on. call it surfacePanel
- add a controller
- in your controller, listen for surfacePanel touch events
- when panel is touched, your controller calls an addElement method in the controller
- addElement looks to see which element was selected (circle, square etc.)
- addElement then adds a new child element to the surfacePanel at the location where it was touched
- addElement then saves this information (i.e. touch x,y, element added etc..) to local storage or back to your server with a json call to persist the session.
- do the same for other elements as they're added, dragged, moved, edited etc.. same procedure just gets more invovled.
you could/should break things out further into circle classes, square classes etc.. and additional controllers etc.
Upon loading the app, grab the users last saved state from the server or local storage and repopulate the surfacePanel.
Of course, i glossed over all the details but should give you a place to start.
15 Mar 2012 8:43 AM #5
Thanks John. What you describe makes sense if we just have a flat (unstructured) tree of simple objects like circles, squares etc. But suppose the elements are things like graphs, tables etc. At that point you'd really like to lay them out just as you would if you were building them at design time, e.g. nesting them in containers, setting layouts/alignments on the containers etc. At that point it becomes interesting because we then have to decide when these containers get created, what gestures control the layout constraints etc. It's one of those areas where we could make the programming simple at the expense of a cumbersome UI. Or we might be able to make it very natural to manipulate from the user's perspective with a suitable set of gestures. So my initial question was really whether anyone has already done this, what gestures they used to create and destroy auxiliary containers, specified layout constraints etc, and whether it actually worked well in practice.
15 Mar 2012 9:00 AM #6
I'm not saying it would be easy but I see no reason this can't be done. I'm sure that within a few hours to a day you could prototype something that lets you drag objects around a surface with precision, drop them into other containers (again, with precision using padding, margins etc.). Your surfacePanel class would handle tick marks, grid positioning, freezing and rehydrating their state etc... or each element (circle, square, table, graph) class could manage it's state. Performance based on how efficient your code and the clients browser performs.
I'd start off with a proof of concept then go from there. Everything you need is baked into the framework. Sounds like a fun project.
Good luck

The Custodian of the Two Holy Mosques King Abdullah bin Abdulaziz offered reassurance that Saudi Arabia's economy is in good condition and that its sovereign wealth funds are safe, despite the global financial turmoil.
In an interview published today in the Kuwaiti newspaper Al-Siyassah, King Abdullah stated, "Our country's economy is solid and strong. Our people need to be assured and aware of that."
The King chided the media for creating "a fearful atmosphere" among investors in the Kingdom. He expressed confidence that the "unjustified panic" will soon "vanish away."
Addressing falling oil prices, King Abdullah stated, "We believe that the fair price of oil is $75 per barrel."
King Abdullah also praised the success of the interfaith dialogue conference held at the United Nations from November 12-13. The King said he was pleased by the many positive responses he has received regarding his initiative. "All of us want peace, stability, security and the safety of our peoples and nations," noted the King. "Moreover, we have much more in common to unite us and less to divide us."

I'm about to travel to Japan (from UK) and can't seem to buy a mains adapter that specifically says it can be used in Japan. However, the internet (e.g. Wikipedia) tells me that Japanese power sockets "appear physically identical" to US ones (although they use a different voltage), so I'm wondering whether I can use an "international adapter" (e.g. this one, with very a useful USB charging feature and multiple socket types) that can be used in the USA, or whether I'll have to wait til I get to the airport and pay more money for it.
You need to distinguish between the physical plug shape and the voltage requirements of the device that you want to plug in.
If you have an adapter that is made for the USA, then yes, in most cases you will be able to plug in that adapter in terms of physical shape into sockets in Japan.
However, you will have to check with each device that you want to use if they support the voltage that you get in Japan out of the power socket. If the label on the device says for example 100-240v (as it says on most laptop power supplies), it WILL work in Japan. If it says 110... or only 240v, then there is high chance that it will NOT work in Japan.
The good thing when going from Europe (240v) to Japan (100v) is that you most likely will not ruin your equipment if you plug it in and it cannot work with 100v. The other way round would fry your device in most cases. If you plug it in, it will simply work - or not. If not, you can still try to get an alternative device in Japan for the time you are there. As a very basic rule of thumb: items that have a high ampere requirement (hair driers, toasters etc) will not work. Items that are made to be portable or for travel work in most cases. Check the sticker on the power supply for the "input power" requirements.
What I do when I need confirmation is to check this website:
It has an EXHAUSTIVE list of each and every type, the voltage and the countries that use them. It's been handy for some of the stranger countries I've been to and hasn't failed yet.
Myself, I have a multi-adapter. The only country it doesn't seem to handle is South Africa, which has 3 giant prongs - bigger than the UK ones!
It's worth noting that:
The item you linked to is a socket adapter, not a voltage converter. It will not convert Japanese standard electricity to UK standard electricity. Therefore, you can only use it with equipment that works over a wide range of voltages. Higher end electronic equipment (e.g. a laptop) and equipment designed for travellers (e.g. a travel hairdryer) might be okay, but you need to check carefully.
By the way, not all USB sockets are created equal. The USB socket of the travel adapter you linked to has a maximum output of 1A. That's not bad but if, say, you charge your iPhone from it, it might take longer than you expect.
In practice, the answer is "yes, usually." If it's OK in the U.S., there's a very good chance it will work without issues in Japan.
Japanese sockets are (mostly) physically compatible with American plugs, and although the nominal line voltage is lower in Japan (100V), the vast majority of modern electronics goods intended for American line voltage (110V) work just fine in Japan. Most DC power supplies have enough latitude that they handle the difference without problems. I've even corresponded with an electronics maker who confirmed this for his product, saying that most power supplies are intentionally designed with a big safety margin to handle brownouts and out-of-spec power anyway, and that the U.S.-Japan difference easily falls within this margin.
The other issue, frequency, is not a problem for most electronics, as they generally convert to DC immediately anyway (it may be an issue for older clocks or anything with a motor driven off of AC).
I've lived in Japan for a long time and used tons of U.S. electronics products here without problems. I think I've only ever had one thing which didn't work properly (an analogue synthesizer with a rare AC power supply that depended on the line voltage for tuning... the digital bits worked fine, but the sound was out of tune).
You should be right to use the same adapter BUT check the voltage! There's a significant difference between the UK and Japan! See http://www.whichplug.com/uk-to-japan/

Notes on prices
This is an audiobook about young men who learned to play baseball during the 1930s and 1940s, and then went on to play for one of the most exciting major-league ball clubs ever fielded, the team that broke the color barrier with Jackie Robinson. It is an audiobook by and about a sportswriter who grew up near Ebbets Field, and who had the good fortune in the 1950s to cover the Dodgers for the Herald Tribune. This is a book about what happened to Jackie, Carl Erskine, Pee Wee Reese, and the others when their glory days were behind them. In short, it is an audiobook about America, about fathers and sons, prejudice and courage, triumph and disaster, and told with warmth, humor, wit, candor, and love.
"A work of high purpose and poetic accomplishment. The finest American book on sports." –James Michener

Basic operating expenses is what voters in the Edison Local School District are being asked to help maintain with the 9.45-mill additional levy on the Nov. 6 ballot.
The levy will fund current expenses, meaning it basically will aid the school district in maintaining existing programs. There are no frills being funded with this levy, administrators want the voters to know.
School administrators don't want to add any new programs with the approximately $3 million that would be generated each year from the levy - they're just hoping to be able to put the money back into the classrooms and to stay in the black for another five years.
There are approximately 2,000 students in the school district, and they travel from as far away as Knoxville, Hammondsville, Amsterdam and Bergholz, among other nearby communities and hamlets.
Let's not forget the district has lost approximately $2.1 million in permanent revenue, stemming from three sources, including a loss of $700,000 in property taxes garnered from FirstEnergy Corp.; a $470,000 loss due to changes in the way state tax is reimbursed to school districts; and a $949,813 loss in funds from federal stimulus funds. And because of that, the school district had to cut 97 positions in the last seven years. In fact the district's staff has been cut from 245 people in the 2010-11 school year to 199 staffers for this school year.
Voters, too, must remember that students playing sports in the Edison Local School District are doing so because their parents are paying for them to play.
But despite the many cuts in work force and the pay-to-play standard, as well as the fact that not too many years ago the district was on put on fiscal watch by the Ohio Department of Education, Edison has come shining through. The school district has been deemed excellent by the ODE - a testament to the quality administrators, teachers and students.
Area voters should remember, too, that students right now have an opportunity to take more than 40 college credit hours without leaving the high school and produce the highest average ACT scores in the county.
The cost for the 9.45-mill levy to homeowners in the district would be minimal. For a $50,000 home, it will cost $144 per year.
And senior citizens, through the Homestead Exemption, would pay $72 for the year.
If the levy does not pass, the school district will have to cut even deeper, meaning a devastating impact on the quality education everyone has come to expect from Edison Local. Beyond that, we believe no one wants to see the state take over the district or even possibly consolidate with a neighboring district, which could become a reality sooner than later.
We support the upcoming levy for the Edison Local School District and encourage all voters to do the same.

I have read that there is a new Gnome-2 like interface called Cinnamon produced by the Linux Mint developers.
Is this available for Ubuntu users - and if so how do I install it?
I have read that there is a new Gnome-2 like interface called Cinnamon produced by the Linux Mint developers.
Is this available for Ubuntu users - and if so how do I install it?
Cinnamon is a Gnome-Shell desktop fork. It is not strictly a Gnome-2 interface, although the developers aims are laudable - to produce a simpler more traditional desktop interface.
Development seems to be rapid. It is usable and certainly fun to play with with a growing number of extensions to install to extend the base installation.
How to install
for 13.04 & 13.10, 14.10 & later
Cinnamon is now available in the Universe repository
Alternatively - from the command-line:
Since it is in this repository, it is community maintained and thus it is up to the community to update the packages as and when new releases and bug-fixes are released.
For Ubuntu 14.04, there is currently no cinnamon packages in the Universe repository.
Via PPA for 11.10 and later
EDIT: 22/05/2014 - the PPA
EDIT: 25/04/14 - Two alternative PPA's have now been created - both claiming to enable the stable version of Cinnamon for Ubuntu users. I cannot vouch for the veracity of these PPAs
Option 1: 12.04 & 14.04 users only:
Option 2: 14.04 users only:
As an alternative you may wish to consider the unstable nightly automatic builds - please note Gwendal's warning above:
Option 3: In addition, you can also install cinnamon 2.2 in Ubuntu 14.04 LTS and derivatives by adding Linux Mint 17 Qiana repository in your system.
Open file
Add the following line at the end of file
Update the repository then install the authentication key
Update the repository again and install Cinnamon 2.2:
After installation
Logout and select the Cinnamon session:
Enter you password and you'll see the Cinnamon desktop
... showing the traditional start type menu and applet design from Gnome-2
The Cinnamon desktop uses the same philosophy as Gnome-Shell - functionality can be added to by installing Extensions & Applets.
Cinnamon uses its own Settings tool.
Cinnamon Settings
Cinnamon Applets
Similar to gnome-shell extensions - you can install applets from a dedicated Mint website.
12.04 vs 11.10
I contacted the Ubuntu Cinnamon PPA owner - Gwendal LE BIHAN - 2nd April - this is the reply:
Precise builds are now available in the PPA and can be installed per the linked answer.
From now on, the Oneiric packages in the PPA will be fixed at v1.4. Thus if you are an Oneiric (11.10) user, your upgrade route should be via the 12.04 distro route, followed by reactivating or adding the PPA.
Alternatively, you may wish to consider one of the other answers to the question.
PPA for 12.04 (nightly build)
Packages for Precise are now available on the nightly PPA :
The stable PPA will take a little more time before it gets updated, any feedback about the nightly packages will be very welcome.
You can download deb files from cinnamon github repository as well
Or you can directly use linux mint repository. Just add to your software sources
and do
Edited on Oct- 25- 2015
To install Cinnamon 2.6 stable
Open terminal and run the following commands:
In Ubuntu 15.04 Vivid
To install on 14.04 , 15.04 , 15.10
For 15.10:
After you enable the universe repository, run the following commands:
Current version is 2.6.2

Have you picked up The Voice-Tribune's first-ever glossy edition? If not, I hope you will. The team labored for weeks on this inaugural endeavor. I certainly don't mean to be boastful, but I'm really proud of what this staff accomplished. We're not exactly large in number, most of us have been on board for two years or less and the average age of the production crew is about 23.
Months ago, I was told The Voice team was too inexperienced and lacking in talent to produce a glossy magazine. I knew better. They did too. We look forward to proving that again in the future.
Power in Numbers
This week's issue includes two pieces that really grabbed my heart, both on page C9 in the print edition.
The first is the only pet obituary I've ever edited. It's an incredibly sweet tribute to a black lab named Luke Rucker who died in late March after 10 years of life. It's a must-read for anyone who has ever laid a furry – or feathered – family member to rest.
The other piece is about two dogs named Kati and Kali. They're owned by a family that is moving into government housing, where the pets aren't allowed, because they've lost their home.
Somewhere out there is a person – or people – who would be the right fit for Kati and Kali. Even if it's not you, I ask you to take a moment to read their story and then pass it on. There is power in numbers. Use yours. Please.
Prior to the March 2 tornado outbreak, I warned a number of friends and colleagues about the approaching storm after heeding the advice of several meteorologist friends. "This could be life-changing," I told them.
I never expected that my words would ring true in an entirely different way than I'd intended.
Louisville was spared but what has since transpired is a continued outpouring of support, love and generosity from our community to those that were affected, including Henryville. If you've been privy to the continued displays of human kindness, you know what I say is true: the experience has been life changing.
The Voice was fortunate to have played a role in the initial relief efforts. Now, we're being asked to step back up and help recruit others as the city continues to rebuild one house, one life at a time.
The needs are great and varied, and they're not going away any time soon. If you're interested in volunteering with us in the small Southern Indiana town, please send an email to firstname.lastname@example.com.
Join us
It's officially Derby time in the River City, and we're giving the unofficial season a proper kick-off on April 19 at the Kentucky Derby Musuem.The Voice is partnering with Four Roses for our April Third Thursday After-Work Party. Admission, as always, is gratis, and there will be plenty to eat and drink, plus swag bags and giveaways. Perhaps the best part of the event will be the annual Rose Julep contest featuring some of the city's best mixologists and watching them compete against one another up close 'n' personal or via live video projected around the room.
