5 Seemingly Random Factors That Control Your Memory
We have all experienced zone-out moments when we know we totally should remember something that has apparently been deleted from our brain's hard drive against our will. That's because the human brain is a haphazard, messy machine that glitches at the slightest, strangest provocation.
However, our old friend science has tracked down some of the completely random things that decide whether or not your memory will choose to function at that particular moment. Things like ...
#5. Walking Through Doorways
You're standing in a room, looking around, confused. You came in here to get something, but what? You don't remember. You've completely forgotten why you got up from the sofa in the first place, as if the mere act of walking from the living room into the kitchen wiped your memory.
You try to decide if this is the sign of a cripplingly short attention span or early onset Alzheimer's. But don't worry -- these "What was I looking for?" memory lapses happen to all of us, and science has figured out a very weird reason why. Gabriel Radvansky and his cohorts at the University of Notre Dame performed a series of experiments to determine exactly what causes this weird brain cramp. Turns out it's not memory elves, or even plain old stupidity.
It's corn dogs, isn't it? It's totally corn dogs.
It's doorways. Seriously.
Your brain uses a very similar directory system to that of your computer. Only instead of neat folders labeled "Work," "Documents" and "TOTALLY NOT PORN," your brain tends to compartmentalize by physical location. This means that the information readily accessible to you in one room ("I must get a glass of milk to wash down all this delicious fudge") suddenly becomes a lot harder to access when you go to another one ("Why am I in the kitchen? I know it had something to do with the toaster ..."). The moment you cross a doorway, you're essentially sending a signal to your brain that you're in a new environment now and that nothing that happened in that previous one matters, so just flush it.
Radvansky tested this by having students examine a box containing objects such as red cubes and blue spheres. Then, the students tried to remember what those objects were after either walking into another room or just walking that same distance without crossing any doorways. The results were so dramatic that researchers proceeded to redub doorways "event erasers," a name so badass that it is what we're going to call doorways from now on.
"Son? I'm sorry, but I never had a son."
And the effect of doorways is so strong that you don't even have to physically move for those bastards to put the kibosh on your memory. In another experiment, the researchers had people sit at a computer and do the same test, where the new "room" was just an animation on the screen. The effect was exactly the same -- every time their avatar crossed a virtual doorway, their ability to recall objects fell down the forgetting well.
However, our door-riddled culture is not doomed to a collective Memento disease. Saying things out loud as you pass the doorway can apparently thwart the effect. It stands to reason, really -- even if you managed to forget that you entered the office exclaiming that you need to buy cream for your genital warts, you'd probably be reminded plenty of times.
"Hey there, Jerry! Heard you had a big ol' case of Braille-dick."
#4. Ridiculous Fonts
Isn't it strange how textbooks and official documents just flat out refuse to stay in your head? The words just drip away like water off a duck's back, no matter what Big Textbook tries. And try they do: Short of coming into your house to slap you every time you don't pay attention, they've used every trick to catch your wandering eye, from bolding to italicizing to underlining important terms and sentences like there is no tomorrow.
You know what, all of this academic failure is making you hungry. Now there's one thing you never forget -- the fact that the local burrito joint exists, and what's on their menu, and which day of the month is 2-for-1 quesadillas. Now let's look at their ads, and notice how they do their text:
Via Chipotle.com
"Why are you spending all that money on ad people? My nephew can draw."
What the hell? Was somebody stoned when they drew that? In fact, if you look at any restaurant's ad, it's a typographical nightmare. You're mixing four or five different fonts, and interrupting one kind of font with another in mid-sentence ...
Via Dennys.com
"Can we make the ink out of actual syrup so they can't let go of the flier?"
Other times, the text is just a jumbled mess. What the hell are they thinking?
Via Garfields.net
We don't know this for a fact, but we're betting somebody won a bet off of that design.
Actually, they know what textbooks don't: When information is provided in a weird, difficult-to-read font, you are more likely to remember it.
Unless you're really interested in the subject matter, your brain has a tendency to lump anything written in tedious Times New Roman or cock-numbingly dull Courier with all the hundreds of miles of writing that you've ever read in those same, sane, boring fonts. But throw in some Browallia or Candara or Wingdings, and all of a sudden the information begins to catch your eye in a way you never thought possible.
Researchers at Princeton and Indiana University proved this by having one group of people read stories in 16-point Arial and others in the much more difficult to process 12-point Comic Sans MA and 12-point Bodoni MT. Quite simply, they found that the people given the shitty font retained the information better. This was confirmed by a longer 200-person trial where the lucky kids who got their textbooks replaced with doppelgangers with funky fonts retained the material better and got higher test grades. The effect was most noticeable in physics, which is strange, as a physics book written in Comic Sans would be quite close to our definition of hell.
The process behind the phenomenon is simple: When the brain has to work harder at decoding the font, it also spends more time and effort in figuring out just what the hell it's reading and therefore tends to hang on to the information better so we won't force it to go through that shit again.
So the next time you open your laptop to go over your notes for that exam on particle physics, highlight all of the text and switch it to some wacky font where all of the letters are shaped like contorted dongs. You can thank us for the A later.
"I think I finally understand why racism is wrong. Thanks, ridiculous fonts!"
#3. Deep Voices
We, as a society, love deep voices. That's what our ads and documentary voice-overs are made of. That's why Darth Vader is so badass. Hell, that's how Barry White managed to become synonymous with sex despite having both the looks and a nickname that heavily feature the term "walrus." As we will soon discuss, this has a lot to do with sex appeal. But there's more to it, memory-wise.
Let's lead in with an experiment.
Imagine Morgan Freeman.
We suggest without the earring, but that's totally your call.
Now, imagine he's reading the rest of this article to you in that deep, soothing voice of his.
If you're a guy, hey, cool -- Morgan Freeman just read you a Cracked article! But if you're a girl ... well, you stand a decent chance of being able to recite said article from memory. See, just like men have a special trick for writing in the snow, there is one ladies-only method women can use to their advantage when they need that extra edge in the memory department.
And before you ask: Yes, of course it is related to boning.
"... and that's how you find the area of a triangle."
According to researchers from the University of Aberdeen in Scotland and McMaster University in Canada, evolution has trained women to remember everything associated with men they find desirable, including anything that they ramble about when they open their sexy mouths. This means that if you happen to be a male with a deep Sean Connery voice, which women tend to find very attractive, then your voice alone can actually enhance a woman's memory for absolutely anything you're saying, no matter how pointless it might be.
The researchers proved this by having the female subjects look at objects on computer screens while the names of said objects were read aloud by computer-manipulated male voices at various pitches, with some female voices mixed in for control. Then, they were tested with one of those annoying "Which of these was the correct object?" memory games.
The ladies correctly picked out way more objects when they were initially introduced by deep male voices. A similar experiment using real human voices yielded the same results. This led the researchers to the inevitable conclusion: Deep male voices light up not only women's nether regions, but also their neurons.
Yes, once again, Darth Vader had it right.

Class of 2013: Utah high school athletes with college scholarships
In the American athletic and education world, college scholarships are the name of the game. Not only do scholarships provide collegiate athletes with a way to pay for an education, but they serve as a gateway to a career as a professional athlete in some cases.
After contacting coaches, athletic directors and principals from every high school in Utah, the Deseret News put together the following list of the estimated 631 seniors from the 2013 graduating class who received an athletic and/or academic scholarship to play college sports.
This list is arranged in alphabetical order by school, irrespective of division, region or classification.

The Desnews couldn't take the space to list the academic and other grants
or scholarships, not because the kids aren't worthy of mention, but because
the list is far too vast. Many high schools report that the total amount of
scholarships offered to their graduates totals in the millions of dollars.
As much as we love athletics (and I am one) we should never loose sight of the fact that academic excellence is the best path to a scholarship or grant and an opportunity to further your education.

A suggestion to Desnews-You should have an award of some type for the School that sends the most students with athletics scholarhsips. 1st 2nd 3rd deal. It would be interesting to see an award based system. I ALSO agree with OATMEAL, and there should be an award for the school that produces the most ACADEMIC scholarships. I understand that there are schools with more students than others-so it could be proportionate.

Thank goodness for Title IX, Young women have a better chance of getting an Athletic Schloarship than young men. The parents of High school or better yet, Middle-school girls should do some due diligence research into this scholarship winning strategy. The sport of Lacrosse seems to offer alot of scholarships throughout the country. Prehaps the Des News could do some research for its readership on this topic. Who knows, prehaps in 10 years Utah will become a hot-bed for recruiting talented Lacrosse players for College teams nation wide

Why is it a good thing that young women have a better chance of getting an athletic scholarship than young men?
Title 9 is an abomination that deprives young men of opportunity while disproportionately awarding it to young women.
If Title 9 did what its supporters claim they want it to do then young women would not have a better chance at an athletic scholarship than young men do, they would have proportionately EQUAL opportunity. Sadly they do not and as colleges scramble to try to even hand out all of their scholarships to qualified females they also deny opportunity to deserving young men. Title 9 is simply more good intentions gone horribly bad. I'm glad young women now have more opportunity but your statment that
"Thank goodness for Title IX, Young women have a better chance of getting an Athletic Schloarship than young men."
shows a wharped desire to punish young men simply to benefit young women. It is wrong and people that feel like you do are a problem.

Your comments are apppropriately scatter gun at best. Do we value our son's education more than our daughters? To answer your original question, more young men participate in High School and College Sports than young women. Intercollegite Sport participation has value for both genders, would you agree with that premise? Title IX, trys to level the playing field in non-abominable terms. My original comment was directed at parents of smart and athletically talented young women to research to see if there are scholarship dollars available to them. If a 4-year college education costs $200k, a full-ride scholarship would be a strong incentive for young women to learn Sculling on Utah Lake or some other obscure sport if the payoff is landing an Athletic Scholarship. These are,sadly, the rules of the game. One needs to know how to play the game to suceed.

You appear to value a girls chance at getting her education paid for more than a boys. Let me quote you again.
"Thank goodness for Title IX, Young women have a better chance of getting an Athletic Schloarship than young men."
And while more boys do participate in high school sports than do girls more boys actually want to participate in sports than girls. I'm not sure if your assertion about more boys participating in college is correct, and I frankly doubt it, as title 9 is designed to make sure that doesn't happen.
The fact is that a girl that wants a college athletic scholarship can get one much easier than a boy who wants one. This is because more boys actually do want one but title 9 limits their opportunity to get one in favor of giving them to girls who want them in much lower numbers.
It is a sad truth, one you appear to be happy about.
By the way I pay for more daughters college education, although she did get a partial academic scholarship. I don't wish she had an athletic scholarship at some boys expense just to get out of that.

First, congratulations to all these young athletes and all the parents. That is very cool! Interesting debate about Title IX. Title IX is simply the right thing to do. It is only right that public schools, which are subsidized with tax money, give equal opportunity to girls. The issue isn't these girls taking scholarships from boys. Rather, the issue is that 85 of the total boys scholarships in any given NCAA school go to football. This literally sucks boys scholarships from other sports, to the point of total elimination for many boys sports. It is absolutely unbelievable that the U of U doesn't have mens track, soccer, gymnastics, wrestling, etc. That isn't the girls fault, it is the disproportionate focus on football. Some will say that "football makes money." Well, it breaks even in only about a third of D1 schools, losing money in nearly two thirds of them. Don't blame Title IX and don't blame the girls.

Please read my 12:43 comment again. That being said. Yes, more young women are attending college than their male peers. Academic Scholarship money is a finite resource also. Do you feel that, in our own words, There are other Young men who want (Academic) Scholarships more, than say your putative daughter? Is it fair that your daughter got this scholarship while other more desirous males did without? Is that Fair? Of course not by your measure. The same thinking is why Title IX was created to insure more althletic equality between the genders.
Thanks for your input. It would be truly interesting to see a what sports gave out full-ride scholarships and how many academic scholorships were given out.

This an interesting dialogue on Title IX. Originally it was designed to provide
equality in athletic participation and increased scholarship opportunities for
the female athlete, and that it has done in most cases.
It's exciting to see so many young ladies participate in and earn athletic scholarships. Congratulations!! I hope more will take the opportunity!
You said, "The fact is that a girl that wants a college athletic scholarship can get one much easier than a boy who wants one" Please back that up with facts, not opinion. Here's a fact: "In 2007-2008 1.6% of men received athletic scholarships in relation to the 1.1% of women who received them, compared to 2.4% of men and 1.0% of women who received them in 1992-1993. If the leveling of the distribution of athletic scholarships between males and females continues at its current rate, it will take up to 17 years before men and women are receiving athletic scholarships at the same rate." (Backgrounder: Athletic Scholarships; by Mark Kantrowitz written May 2011)
Put away your bitterness and don't cry "foul" or in your case "fowl," until you know the facts.

I said that more boys that actually want them cannot get them than girls that actually want them. You need to work on your comprehension.
Less girls actually want to play sports than do boys, that isn't just my "opinion" that is a fact. I have no problem at all with girls getting athletic scholarships, this isn't a boy vs girl issue to me so much as a good intentions gone wrong issue. The intention was to increase opportunity for girls that want to participate in sports, that is a GOOD thing, the unintended consequence has been that boys sports have been eliminated at many schools to comply with this false "equality".
In my opinion we have reached a point where title 9 can be done away with, or at least relaxed to some degree, to compensate for the fact that more boys wish to compete in athletics than girls. I don't think girls are going to lose any opportunities, nor do I want them to, what I want to see is the opportunities taken from the boys restored.
It would appear that several of you would prefer that boys lose their opportunities. Kinda punitive and sad.

There is no "disproportionate focus on football", the fact is football is what the vast majority of people actually care about. Yes football generates the dollars, and to a lesser extent mens basketball. Now that does not mean I think other sports should be done away with or short changed but lets not let your bitterness towards the sport that actually funds the opportunities the athletes of the other sports enjoy get in the way of the discussion.

Your attempt to set up a strawman failed miserably. Most academic scholarships are not decided based on sex, the better student is the only deciding factor for them. Yes there are some race or sex based scholarships but they are the minority. Plus there is no law like title 9 stating that they have to be handed out equally even if less of one sex is interested in obtaining them.
To make your extremely weak strawman work it would have to be set up so that if vastly more girls want academic scholarships than did boys but just to make it fair an equal number had to be handed out to both ignoring their actual merits. It shouldn't matter that 70% of the girls want academic scholarship and only 30% of the boys want them, to make it like title 9 50% of those scholarships would need to be given to each sex simply because they are of different sexes.
Example, 100 scholarships available, 200 girls want them and 60 boys want them. 50 would be given to girls and 50 would be given to boys simply because of sex.
My guess is you'd howl about it.

Duckhunter: Please stop making statements with no fact to back them up. The reality is that very few football programs pay for themselves, let alone pay for other sports. Please go to the NCAA website and search for AND READ a document called revenues and expenses 2004-2009. There the NCAA presents the real numbers. The fact is that college football at almost all universities is sucking the life out of other sports. You are trying very hard to sound informed in your posts. Unfortunately, the numbers you throw around don't seem to be based in fact.

Weak, you supplied us with nothing yet want to try to hold me to a standard you yourself haven't even considered complying with. Football generates far, far, far more revenue than any other sport. Even if it doesn't "pay for itself" as you are trying to claim it pays for far, far more than anything else.
Tell me this, how much revenue does the womens swim team generate? How about the mens cross country team? What about womens tennis?
I'll anser that for you, they don't bring in ANY revenue, they simply consume money, and I'm fine with that. So quit trying to pretend that you have some sort of knowledge when you obviously have none. And quit trying to pretend that I have something against other sports, mens or womens, I do not. What I have a problem with is that the men have been losing opportunities and I would like to see that fixed somehow. It would appear that you, and a few others on here have no interest in that, you simply enjoy the punitive effect title 9 has had on the boys and I think that is pathetic.

If that is indeed the case, then you are (to use your term) "pathetic."
Title IX has done wonders to promote girls athletics and rewarding those who wish to compete beyond high school. I was an athletic scholarship recipient in my day (a men's sport), and I've seen the benefit for my daughter in her sport. What a shame it would be to relax the title IX standards. If that was to happen, you know schools would drop some women's sports and there is no guarantee that schools would add or reinstate any of the men's sports as most of the sports that were dropped are not revenue generating. Reducing or dropping title IX would not have the positive effect you're implying it will.

Defenders of title 9 have nothing to back them other than it "has done wonders to promote girls athletics and rewarding those who wish to compete beyond high school." ok, great. Women's opportunities have grown, I'm glad for that. You see the thing is I do not begrudge the increased opportunities for the girls, I am irritated at the decreased opportunities for the boys. I've stated that a couple of times but you are obviously either blind to it or are simply one of the punitive against the boys type.
I want a solution, one which preserves the girls opportunities while at the same time reinstates the ones the boys have lost. That cannot be done if title 9 is left intact as is, changes would have to be made to do that.
Tell me why is that prospect so distasteful to people like you, watchweather and byutrackstar? Why do you not want to see some changes made that would increase opportunities for boys? Why do you feel the need to be so punitive against the boys rather than just in support of increased opportunities for girls? I want both, I'd say I occupy the high ground here.

If factoring the products of large numbers suddenly becomes simple, PKI goes up in smoke.
Is this correct?
If it is correct, it seems to me that the only alternative is a return to shared secret schemes… is there anything serious out there that still relies on shared secret (and not in a hybrid fashion like SSL)?

If according to my Bible translation - please correct me if it is wrong - anything a woman in niddah or a state of tumah, or 'impurity', touches or sits on becomes 'impure', can food cooked by her be eaten by others and if so, do they also become tumah?

Yes, someone who eats impure food becomes impure themselves (Rambam Shar Avot Hatumah 8:10).
However, this needs some perspective. Niddah is one kind of impurity, and another one is that of a corpse (see Numbers 19). The procedure for purifying oneself of Niddah-impurity is by using a mikvah which can and is done today regularly. The procedure for purifying oneself from corpse-impurity involves the Red Heifer (outlined in the verses there) which is not something we have available today. Thus every Jew today is already in a certain state of impurity. As such, we are not careful to not consume impure food, as we are already impure.
To clarify, even if we were all pure, one would generally only choose to avoid eating impure foods if one would have needed to remain pure later on for various sacrificial or Temple related rites. Otherwise impure foods are just as "kosher" as pure foods according to the basic letter of the law. Rambam discusses the value of food impurity at the very end of his Laws of Food Impurity (16:12):
Even in the times of the Beis Hamikdosh (Temple) it was not mandatory not to eat food defiled by a Nidda; it was a voluntary stringency.
Generally a woman in niddah would have been in a state of confinement, perhaps only providing for herself and anyone else who may have become unclean, perhaps other daughters in the house hold? Perhaps meals were made for them, by those clean or perhaps they would provide for themselves, this decision would have depended on the individuals take on ritual cleanness, but their decisions would have been undoubtedly been affected by what time in Israel's history these events were to take place, and what unique concerns the household may have been subject to at that time. However please see: Footnote: 1. [H] (from root [H] or [H]) 'isolation', 'impurity'. A menstruant is 'isolated' from her husband and keeps away from other persons and things because, being in her 'impurity' she renders them ritually unclean if she comes into contact with them. (NIDDAH)

Chinese Internal Martial Arts Theory and Applications in Acupuncture Needling
by Ioannis Solos and Yuan Liang
One of the deepest rooted concepts of Chinese culture is the concept of holism (zhěng tǐ guān ni�n). To understand this concept in Chinese Medicine we usually divide it into two parts, the first being the "structural unity of the body� and the second being the "functional unity of the body).

A Friday court appearance for a man accused of escaping from the Leavenworth County Jail tentatively had been scheduled as a plea hearing for an escape charge. But the case was continued for a couple of weeks to give parties time to work out a plea deal for multiple cases.
Raheem K. Armstead, 29, Leavenworth, has three cases pending against him in Leavenworth County District Court. His most recent case stems from an alleged Dec. 29 escape from the Leavenworth County Jail. He was taken back into custody Monday. At the time of the alleged escape, Armstead already had charges pending in two other cases.
After Armstead was taken back into custody, he was charged with aggravated escape from custody. He made his first court appearance on that charge Wednesday.
District Judge Michael Gibbens said Friday's hearing tentatively had been set for a plea because Armstead indicated Wednesday that he wished to plead to the escape charge without legal counsel.
"The court discouraged that," Gibbens said.
Court-appointed attorney Geoffrey Sonntag met with Armstead before court. The attorney said he hoped to work out a resolution for all three of the pending cases.
The escape case was continued until Jan. 18, which is when Armstead is next scheduled to appear on his other two cases.

I don't know what's happening with Draw Something but apparently 30/50% of players prefer not play the game and write directly the word I have to guess.
I don't like it so I prefer to Pass and abandon the game with that player, but it seems not possible to do, at least on Android, after you have passed. The only possibility I found was to exit the game, relaunch it, and perform the action already described here.
It is a bit annoying considering the high percentage of these players. Do you know any workaround for this?

In the old World of Darkness game Changeling: the Dreaming, no specific banality rating is given for demons (as in Demon: the Fallen)? What is an appropriate rating, and how is that rating justified by the lore?
Sign up

The sensible answer would be that they have a low banality (banality means the denial of awe and wonder and demons are really unlikley to do that) however the same is true of vampires and they always had high banality despite this not making sense in light of the in game logic.
If you want to go with the feel of Changeling's themes and mood then give them frighteningly low banality scores (these are the creatures who basically set up creation and everything within it after all, they won't be denying the supernatural and the fantastic). If you are trying to guess what the Canon suppliments would have said, give them Banality on the same levels as Antedeluvian Vampires.
That being said, rememebr that the Demons of Demon: the Fallen do not exist in the World of Darkness of the 1st and 2nd editions (and thus there are no real Changelings in the Demon: the fallen setting). You would be better using the traditional Demon's of the old World of Darkness setting itself (found scattered around the 1st and 2nd edition books, especially V:tM and M:tA). These Demons (who grant investments and are not specifically tied to the Judeo-Christian paradigm/dogma) will work much better in a Changeling game. Their banality will be more akin to the banality (or lack thereof) of the Banes and spirits of Werewolf/Mage.
Actually, I think they should have more banality. Explained by the three 'gods' of WoD (create, maintain, destroy) as in Werewolf (Wyld, Weaver, Wyrm), the angels are both the creators of reality (Wyld) and the maintainers of it (Weaver). Anything that remotely falls upon Wyld have lower banality (such as malkavian vampires) and anything that remotely falls under Weaver has higher banality (such as technocracy mages). Wyrm entities, thus shuld have lower banality in game terms (they normally do not deny the supernatural as there are fewer things less supernatural than Baali, Nephandi or anything of the lot), they have medium-rate banality.
I think they should have more or less like 7 banality (could be 6, though), and dropping one or two points for the 'Wyld oriented Demon' and going up one or two points for the 'Weaver' oriented ones.
I think that banality is not on the 'supernatural believe' side but more on the 'rational' part of this supernatural entities and how they attach themselves to 'Weaver thoughts' such as technology, logic and systematic solutions. The more the rational, the higher the banality.
Looking at vampires, mages and werewolves (the other supernatural creatures when changeling came out) it seems obvious that it does not depend on the believes of the supernatural (since all of them believe in the supernatural), since there are supernaturals (that firmly belive in the supernatural, not that they are in denial) that have high banality such as 8 or 9 (even 10).
I'd say a quite low banality (around 4 for example), based on the facts that demons are a concept that taps into the collective imagination. But I didn't play Demons, so that's just a guess.

Press preview November 3; opens to public November 5
New York, NY—Dia Art Foundation is pleased to announce Constellation Congress, a three-part exhibition of work by Koo Jeong A (b. 1967) that provides the first opportunity for American audiences to experience in depth the work of this important artist. For over twenty years, Koo Jeong A has been steadily and rigorously constructing a visual language of evocative riddles and playful environments that highlight the idiosyncrasies of the world around us.
Organized by Yasmil Raymond, Dia's curator, the exhibition comprises compelling, multifaceted projects in three locations: an immersive installation of newly commissioned works created for Dia at The Hispanic Society of America, in northern Manhattan; an outdoor sculpture at Dia:Beacon, in Beacon, New York; and a new series of works on paper at The Dan Flavin Art Institute, in Bridgehampton, New York. All three venues will open to the public on Friday, November 5, 2010, with the projects at The Hispanic Society and Dia:Beacon remaining on view through May 2, 2011, and that at The Dan Flavin Art Institute through September 4, 2011.
A press preview will be held at The Hispanic Society, on Broadway between 155th and 156th Streets, on Wednesday, November 3, 2010, from 9:30 to 11:30 am. Yasmil Raymond, and Philippe Vergne, director, Dia Art Foundation, will be present. For more information and to RSVP, please contact email@example.com.
Ms. Raymond states, "It has been a great honor for all of us at Dia to work with Koo Jeong A on the creation of this three-part exhibition. Constellation Congress is an unprecedented project in her career, in both scale and complexity, and the three different exhibition sites have literally become production sites, where new ideas have materialized over the course of the last five months. Dia is proud to facilitate this project, and to be a conduit for the ambitions of Koo Jeong A and other artists of our time."
In Koo Jeong A's work, nothing is ordinary; on the contrary, any object—be it a pile of charcoal, a piece of iron, or a puddle of water—is given dignity and reverence and incites the surprise of a first encounter. Her presentation for Dia at The Hispanic Society will be the fourth in Dia's multiyear series of projects by contemporary artists for the Society's Beaux-Arts buildings, in Washington Heights. Occupying the Society's East Building Gallery, Koo Jeong A's installation will comprise new multimedia works that were commissioned by Dia. These will include architectural interventions loosely evoking feng shui principles and a dual-projection video installation. Additionally, Koo Jeong A created an olfactory artwork, Before the Rain (2010) in collaboration with perfumer Bruno Jovanovic, of International Flavors & Fragrances, Inc., that employed ingredients such as dry woods, minerals, fern, musk, tar, and lichens, among others.
At Dia:Beacon, Koo Jeong A will present a new iteration of the outdoor sculpture A Reality Upgrade & End Alone (2003/2010), last seen at the 2009 Venice Biennale, consisting of approximately five thousand glittering stones installed in the two-acre field behind Dia:Beacon.
The exhibition at The Dan Flavin Art Institute will comprise new works on paper installed in the first-floor gallery. This presentation marks the first time in many years that the gallery has been used to display newly commissioned work, rather than selections from Dia's collection.
In conjunction with Constellation Congress, Dia will work with the artist to produce an original publication. Though Koo Jeong A has been making significant work over the past two decades, this will be the first study of her practice published in the United States. The volume will include a text by exhibition curator Yasmil Raymond and newly commissioned essays by art historian Molly Nesbit and Harvard University Professor of Astronomy Dimitar Sasselov, among others.
Koo Jeong A
Koo Jeong A was born in Seoul, Korea, in 1967, and studied at the École des Beaux-Arts in Paris. Since 1994, her work has been shown internationally, including solo presentations at Kunsthalle St. Gallen, Switzerland (1994); the Musée d'Art Moderne de la Ville de Paris (1994); Moderna Museet, Stockholm (1998); Secession, Vienna (2002); CCA Kitakyushu, Japan (2002); Portikus, Frankfurt (2004); and Aspen Art Museum, Aspen (2008). She has participated in the Venice Biennale (1995 and 2009); the Gwangju Biennial (1997); the Echigo Tsumari Art Triennial, Tokyo (2000); Manifesta 1, Rotterdam (1996), and Manifesta 3, Slovenia (2000); the Biennale of Sydney (2004); Performa05, New York (2005); the Torino Triennale, Italy (2008) and the Aichi Triennale, Japan (2010). Her work has been presented in group exhibitions at such venues as the Walker Art Center, Minneapolis (1998), the Institute of Contemporary Art, Boston (2000), Los Angeles County Museum of Art (2009) and is on view until February 2011 at the Centre Pompidou, Paris (2010). In 2004, she was invited, along with Urs Fischer, to create an inaugural in situ installation of new works to launch the exhibition program at the Centre Pompidou's Espace 315 gallery and in 2007 Centre International d'Art et du Paysage, Ile de Vassivière, France, mounted a major exhibition of her work. She also participated in the internationally touring exhibition Cities on the move, curated by Hou Hanru and Hans-Ulrich Obrist (1997–1999). She now lives and works in London.
Special thanks to The Hispanic Society of America. Major exhibition support has been provided by public funds from the New York City Department of Cultural Affairs and Councilmember Robert Jackson; and by Jill and Peter Kraus. Additional support has come from the New York State Council on the Arts, a State agency; agnès b. Endowment Fund; Etant donnés: The French-American Fund for Contemporary Art (a program of FACE); Sylvie Winckler; and the Korean Cultural Service. "Before the Rain" (2010) at the Hispanic Society was developed in collaboration with International Flavors & Fragrances, Inc., and Prolitec generously contributed a scent diffuser for the duration of the exhibition.
Dia Art Foundation
A nonprofit institution founded in 1974, Dia Art Foundation is internationally renowned for enabling artists' visions by initiating, supporting, and preserving extraordinary art projects. Dia presents public and education programs, exhibitions, and its collection at Dia:Beacon, Riggio Galleries. Commissions and projects by contemporary artists, along with parallel education programs, are presented at The Hispanic Society of America, in Washington Heights, in a partnership that provides an interim venue for Dia's New York City–based programs while Dia develops a new site for these initiatives in Manhattan. Additionally, Dia maintains a number of long-term, site-specific projects. These include Walter De Maria's The New York Earth Room (1977) and The Broken Kilometer (1979), Max Neuhaus's Times Square (1977), Joseph Beuys's 7000 Eichen (7000 Oaks) (1988), and Dan Flavin's untitled (1996), in Manhattan; The Dan Flavin Art Institute, in Bridgehampton, New York; De Maria's Vertical Earth Kilometer (1977), in Kassel, Germany; and Robert Smithson's Spiral Jetty (1970) and De Maria's The Lightning Field (1977), in the Western United States.
The Hispanic Society of America
Founded in 1904, The Hispanic Society of America is dedicated to the presentation and study of Hispanic culture. The Society's collection, which is unparalleled outside of the Iberian Peninsula, provides deep insight into the culture and art of Spain, and also includes significant representation from Portugal and Latin America. Since 1908, the Society has been housed on Audubon Terrace, between 155 and 156 Streets in Manhattan, in a Beaux-Arts complex that includes buildings by architects Charles Pratt Huntington, Stanford White, and Cass Gilbert. Comprising both library and museum, the Society has a diverse collection of paintings, decorative arts, books, manuscripts, maps, prints, and photographs dating from the second millennium B.C. through the twentieth century, and is open to the public free of charge. For additional public information, visit www.hispanicsociety.org.
Koo Jeong A's exhibition is the fourth project presented by Dia at The Hispanic Society, a multiyear partnership in which Dia invites contemporary artists to create a new installation within the context of the Society's historical collection and buildings. Previous exhibitions include Dominique Gonzalez-Foerster, chronotopes & dioramas (2009–2010), Zoe Leonard, Derrotero (2008–2009), and Francis Alÿs, Fabiola (2007–2008).
Dia:Beacon, Riggio Galleries, opened in May 2003 as the home for Dia Art Foundation's distinguished collection of art from the 1960s to the present. The museum features works by a focused group of some of the most significant artists of the last half century, including Bernd and Hilla Becher, Joseph Beuys, Louise Bourgeois, John Chamberlain, Walter De Maria, Dan Flavin, Michael Heizer, Donald Judd, On Kawara, Imi Knoebel, Sol LeWitt, Agnes Martin, Bruce Nauman, Max Neuhaus, Gerhard Richter, Robert Ryman, Fred Sandback, Richard Serra, Robert Smithson, Andy Warhol, and Lawrence Weiner.
Situated on the banks of the Hudson River in Beacon, New York, and easily accessible by train or car, the museum occupies a former Nabisco box-printing facility that Dia renovated with artist Robert Irwin and architect OpenOffice. Dia:Beacon's expansive galleries comprise 240,000 square feet of exhibition space illuminated by natural light. In addition to its collection, the museum presents temporary exhibitions and diverse public and education programs.
The Dan Flavin Art Institute
The Dan Flavin Art Institute is located in the former First Baptist Church of Bridgehampton. Originally constructed as a firehouse in 1908, the building operated as a church from 1924 to the mid-1970s. In 1979, Dia purchased it to use as a gallery for Dan Flavin (1933–1996), and renovated the building under the direction of the artist with the assistance of James Schaeufele, Dia's director of operations, and architect Richard Gluckman. The renovation evokes the building's former uses: a newel post in the entrance hall is painted red in honor of the building's years as a firehouse, and the original church doors have been moved to the entrance of a small exhibition space on the second floor that contains memorabilia, including a neon cross, collected from and about the church.
The first floor of the Flavin Institute is used for temporary exhibitions. Recent shows include Drawing American Light: Dan Flavin and the Hudson River School (2010); Imi Knoebel: Knife Cuts Parts 1 and 2 (2008–2010); John Chamberlain, Squeezed and Tied: Foam and Paper Sculptures (2007); and Fred Sandback Prints 1971–79 (2004–2006). In the stairwells and on the building's second floor, Flavin designed a permanent installation of nine works that trace his practice from 1963--when he decided to work solely with standard fluorescent fixtures and tubes--to 1981, when the presentation was realized.

MANHATTAN, Kan. (WIBW) -- The Riley County Police Department needs your help locating a Manhattan teen who has been missing for a month.
Officials are seeking assistance from the public in locating 15-year-old Cleotilde Lucero Soto-Garcia. Detectives say the girl has vanished and they have no leads on where she may be.
Cleotilde is a Hispanic female around 5 feet 4 inches tall and 120 pounds.
She has long brown or black hair to the bottom of her shoulder blades and brown eyes.
Police say Soto-Garcia is a runaway from the Northwest portion of Manhattan. She often goes by several variations of her name, including Lucero Garcia or Lucy Garcia. She has ties to the Houston area, a police bulletin said, since her family recently moved to Kansas from Texas.
She was last seen on August 30th and last known to be at her family's home. She attended Manhattan High West Campus.
Detectives say Soto-Garcia ran away once before in the past but came back home after two days. They describe her as a "homebody" who was responsible for taking care of her siblings. They believe she was unhappy with something that happened at home and she left without a trace. She did not have a cell phone but she have a personal computer. Police say there is no indication that she was lured away by someone online since she has few friends on social media sites. The fact that she is young and has been missing for weeks led investigators to classify her as an "endangered runaway."
If you have any information on this missing teen's whereabouts, contact Riley County Police at 785-537-2112. Detective Rich Lewis is handling the case and can be reached at Ext. 3050. You can also contact Crime Stoppers at 785-539-7777 or 1-800-222-TIPS (8477); or send police a web tip at manhattanrileycountycrimestoppers.com. You can also text tips to CRIMES (274637) or start the message with TIP 353.

News and Events Archives
Dr. Gerald Brouder, president of Columbia College, will address graduates at two commencement ceremonies on Saturday, May 9 in Southwell Gymnasium on the Columbia College campus.
The first ceremony, held at noon, honors Day Campus students from the main campus in Columbia, Mo., and Evening Campus, Online Campus and Nationwide Campus students receiving associate or master's degrees. The 3:30 p.m. ceremony honors baccalaureate degree candidates from the college's adult higher education venues (Evening Campus, Online Campus and Nationwide Campuses). The commencement ceremonies will last approximately 75 minutes. Graduates of the nursing program will participate in the Nurses Pinning Ceremony at 2 p.m. in Launer Auditorium.
The Ivy Chain ceremony, one of the oldest commencement ceremonies in the United States, will precede commencement at 9:30 a.m. on Bass Commons. The ceremony features a continuous chain of ivy-draped seniors walking through historic Rogers Gate to form a circle on Bass Commons. Specially designated graduates, ivy cutters, then cut the ivy from each person, signifying that although now separate from Columbia College and classmates, graduates will always remain a part of Columbia College. Each participant also receives three long-stem red roses with notes to give to people who have made a significant impact on the Ivy Chain participant's college career. This further radiates the ceremony and the tradition.
This year's ivy chain cutters include six students from the main campus: Erika Harrington, Megan Loyd-Cram, Erin McCaffrey, Kacey Miller, Lindsey Moore and Megan Struemph; and two Nationwide Campus students: Mark Hammel of Lake County, Ill., and Veronica Thompson of Fort Drum, N.Y.
Of the 541 students expected to participate in the commencement ceremonies, 132 (24.4 percent) will graduate with honors, including 34 magna cum laude and 32 summa cum laude graduates.
�This very high percentage speaks volumes about the quality of both Columbia College students and faculty," said Dr. Terry Smith, executive vice president and dean for academic affairs. "I am especially proud of our honors graduates because there is no grade inflation at Columbia College. Our honors graduates have excelled and they have done so in rigorous courses with high academic expectations.�

The Nvidia Geforce 6150 does not work with Unity. What should I do to fix it?
I am using Ubuntu 11.10.
I know this video card is old but I have resolved several older Nvidia card issues using the latest Nvidia drivers.
To install the latest drivers (assuming you have alread installed the proprietary drivers from the Additional Drivers app, do the following:
In the terminal type:
Then update your repositories by typing in the terminal this:
Afterwards go to your Update Manager. An updated version of the Nvidia card will appear. Install it and reboot the PC.
If you have not yet installed the proprietary drivers then open your dash and type "Drivers". The Additional Drivers icon app should appear. Install the Nvidia recommended driver from the list and reboot.
From my experience this has solved a Geforce FX 5600 problem I had, a Geforce 6200 problem and another Geforce 6400.
In my case, it was actually a case of removing the NVIDIA drivers.
My answer here helped.
As a bonus, my whole system seems to be running much much faster. I think the Nvidia driver was buggy and slowing everything down and not recognizing my video card's capability.
You could try an older
As for a proper fix, it seems that anything prior to Geforce 8xxx is considered too old for Unity, which seems like a fair deal. The first 8xxx series were released five years ago, in 2007.

I know that a sentence that ends in the て form of a verb can be imperative. How do you know for sure if it is? Why is「~しようとして」not imperative?
Sign up

As sawa said, the て form has many usages. One of them being used to formulate requests (what you're confusing with the grammatical term "imperative")
しようとして (and all the forms in ようとして:食べようとして...etc.) can all be perfectly correct requests or commands depending on how the sentence ends.
To understand this, you need to know that the よう form of a verb is called Volitional and is used (in brief) to say "let's do..."
Now, adding として to this volitional form, it should be decomposed as follows:
-と is the particle (same as と言う、と思う)
-して (て form of する)
Then the て form is used to combine sentences (see the Wikipedia article above). ようとして then means "to be about to" or "try to".
The volitional form of a verb + として corresponds to the English "(Please) Try to...". (you can still add ください、ほしい、くれ...etc. like for any other request) It's a very natural way to request someone to do something and see how it goes.
Some widely used examples to illustrate this:

Sunday is Chinese New Year, and since I know next to squat about good Chinese cooking, you need to head over the Chow Vegan for an amazing spread of nine dishes to make your own New Year's feast. I only wish I could find egg-free wonton wrappers and yuba sheets so I could make all of this stuff!

Happy Chinese New Year!

I keep looking for eggless wrappers and haven't found them yet. Perhaps from scratch?

I agree with the frustration at not being able to find the eggless ones! However, I do want to say THANK YOU do Vegan Dad for the AWESOME Boneless Chickenless Wing recipe!! I made them for the SuperBowl and my omni husband (and I!) couldn't get enough!! Delicious!!!

And, they freeze beautifully, so you can make a big batch at once!

Oops. Also meant to say, you can often find just about everything you need at www.asianfoodgrocer.com. I just checked, and they're currently out of stock of dried yuba sheets, but they do carry them. Enjoy!

hey there! i just wanted to say that your blog is amazing and made my life as a vegan SO much easier :D
anyway, my family's always been making dumping and wonton wrappers from scratch and from experience, eggs aren't necessary at all. a dough made from just water and flour works just fine :)

I have been able to find egg-free wrappers at Asian markets.

Happy New Year! Thanks so much for the post and link! Sorry to hear you're unable to find the wonton wrappers or yuba sheets. If you like, I'll mailed you a couple packages of dried yuba sheets. I can't on the wonton wrappers as they're either frozen or refrigerated. Just let me know. :-)

Vegan wontons... I am always shocked to see "wonton wrappers" being called for in vegan cookbooks. I live in NYC and have checked many, many Asian groceries. Can't find egg-free ones! It is so frustrating!

I haven't been able to find any egg-free wonton wrappers at places like Whole Foods or the local food co-op, but I've invariably had good luck finding eggless ones at Asian markets.

After reading a lot about entity/component based engines. I feel like there is no real definition for this kind of engine. Reading this thread: Implementing features in an Entity System and the linked article made me think a lot.
I did not feel that comfortable using System concept so I'll write something else, inspired by this pattern. I'd like to know if you think it's a good way to organize game code and what improvements can be made.
Regarding a more strict implementation of entity/component based engine, is my solution viable? Do I risk getting stuck at any point due to the lack of flexibility of this implementation (or anything else)?
My engine, as for entity/component patterns has entities and components, no systems since the game logic is handled by components. Also, I think the main difference is the fact that my engine will use inherence and OOP concepts in general, I mean, I don't try to minimize them.
- Entity: an entity is an abstract class. It holds his position, width and height, scale and a list of linked components. The current implementation can be found here (java). Every frame, the entity will be updated (i.e all the components linked to this entity will be updated), and rendered, if a render component is specified.
- Component: like for entity, a component is an abstract class that must be extended to create new components. The behavior of an entity is created through his components collection. The component implementation can be found here. Components are updated when the owning entity is updated or for only one specific component (render component), rendered. Here is an example of a logic component (i.e not a renderable component, a component that's updated each frame) in charge of listening for keyboard events and a render component in charge of display a plain sprite (i.e not animated).

A 2.5 percent additional budget cut for higher education institutions across the state will mean tough choices for administrators at Bowling Green Technical College.
Dr. Jack Thomas, school president, estimates BGTC has refunded 20 percent of its operating budget over the last four years back to the state. Thomas says community and technical colleges like his are especially hard hit by such cuts because of the small scope of their operation.
"We only have two welders, so do we cut one of those and reduce our welder output by 50 percent?" Thomas said.
BGTC has waiting lists for more than 2/3 of its programs, and trains technicians in fields like surgery, auto repair, welding, and manufacturing. Dr. Thomas says the community and technical college program in Kentucky is the most efficient "bang for your buck" in terms of education funding.
Dr. Thomas says his school, if asked to continue at its current funding level next year, will have to begin cutting teaching positions, and it's enrollment.

How does one create a shape in photoshop? The two ends of my shape are not closing. Can someone please tell me the principles of working with the pen tool?
When i was learning this helped me..Than you have to practice. http://psd.tutsplus.com/tutorials/tools-tips/photoshops-pen-tool-the-comprehensive-guide/ and then this video too. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=IDrtyNmp3A4
Personal Tips: Understand what happens when you press Alt. States: Anchor selected, drawing inside a shape or just path. Anchor tool behaves little differently keyboard shortcut wise then if you bring it up using alt key when using pen tool.
I think the principle you're missing is open versus closed paths. Anything drawn with the pen tool is just a path. It's not until you circle back to the origin point and click to close the path that you have a shape.
These screen shots are old as dirt, but they're still accurate.
This path is open but the little circle next to the pen cursor tells you that you'll close it as soon as you click. If you had a fill in this state, it would be flat across the top, essentially inventing a line between the two points.
After clicking ...
Once the shape is closed you can apply colors and effects to the object as a shape.
Smashing Magazine put together a nice basics article on Photoshop paths you may want to skim.
If you want to dig deeper into the concept behind the pen tool in Adobe apps, read up on Bezier curves.

Bellaire opts for change
BELLAIRE - In a 5-minute span of Thursday's meeting of village council, the Board of Public Affairs was eliminated and the village, once again, had an administrator in its employ.
The two moves took place during the initial part of Thursday's meeting.
Ordinance No. 2012-14 was read for the first time and later passed after Councilman Jim Pyatt motioned to suspend the three reading rules. Councilman Jim Williams seconded and the village's legislators approved the motion 6-0. The ordinance also passes, 6-0.
The position created will have administrative powers and duties. The administrator must attend all council meetings and will be appointed by Mayor Vince DiFabrizio.
Shortly after the passing of the ordinance Resolution 990 was passed after having its rules suspended as well.
Again the motion to suspend the rules and passes of the ordinance went through without much, if any, opposition.
The resolution was to approve DiFabrizo's recommendation that Dan Marling, currently the village's Service Supervisor, be appointed as the administrator.
It was stipulated that position does not have to be filled by a village resident.
Marling will be paid $18.20 per hour and receive the same benefits afforded to other full-time village employees.
Marling will officially serve in his new capacity starting Dec. 30.
Councilman Josh Meyer thanked the Board of Public Affairs members for their service and explained this is being made as a cost effective move as well as giving DiFabrizio a right-hand man in leading the village.
"This move is not without undue thanks to the Board of Public Affairs," Meyer said. "We appreciate your service but we wanted to go with a village administrator to have a right-hand man and allow us to work a bit more efficiently and have someone here on a daily basis.
"We greatly appreciate your service."
Marling too thank the board members.
"I came in here in April and you gave me a great opportunity and it's been enjoyable working with you," Marling said. "Hopefully we can carry forth a lot of what we worked on together into the future."

I agree wholeheartedly with my brother's sentiments in this post.
There is an immense sense of satisfaction to be had, suiting up and braving the wintery temperatures that November has to offer. Provided there is no strong wind and the rain holds off for long enough, a thoroughly pleasant ride can be had even in winter months in the Cotswolds, but you only have to get one thing wrong; one chink in your expensive Rapha armour and the cold lets you know that what you're doing is against all sense and reason.
Didn't put long finger windproof gloves on? Say hello to extreme finger pain and say goodbye to your ability to brake effectively. Thought that once you got pedalling your bare legs would warm themselves? You idiot, that's going to be a really unpleasant and distracting burning sensation. Just put on your thickest socks and thought that would be enough? Fool. You need merino socks, covered with windproof socks, and then a good pair of neoprene overshoes if you want to be able to feel your feet by the end of the ride. Set off with just your helmet on your head? You can look forward to eye-wateringly cold air tearing at your delicate ears, especially on those descents.
Yesterday I ventured out for my first ride since throwing my back out spectacularly in early September, and forgetting my windproof fleece head band and my neck-warming Buff, I was reminded how unpleasant cycling can be in the winter.
But, it was my own fault really – not the weather's. You need to carry out a kit checklist before a 4º ride.

Wonderful Mophie!

About Me Frequent Traveler, Gear Head
Follow me
Before my Mophie, I was charging my battery every day, as I live rurally. With the Mophie, I now only have to plug in my iPhone every other day! The Mophie itself - with my iPhone attached, only takes about 2-3 hours to full charge (if that much) - and I am good to go! Plus, the purple color is awesome! And it holds up well to being dropped, etc (no scratches so far)!

How can you exchange(swap) the first bit and the last bit of register %o0 in Assembly?
Swaping in Assembly
Here's a quick test program I wrote in C; compile to assembler to get the result for your specific hardware:
Most of it is just a testbed for the calculation itself, which is just:
void swapbits() { for (int i=0; i<4; i++) { int reg=0, exp=0, reg1; switch (i) { case 0: reg=0xffff0000; exp=0x7fff0001; break; // 1xx0 -> 0xx1 case 1: reg=0xffff0001; exp=0xffff0001; break; // 1xx1 -> 1xx1 case 2: reg=0x7fff0001; exp=0xffff0000; break; // 0xx1 -> 1xx0 case 3: reg=0x7fff0000; exp=0x7fff0000; break; // 0xx0 -> 0xx0 } reg1=reg; if (reg>0 && reg&1 || reg<0 && !(reg&1)) reg ^= 0x80000001; printf("Swap 0x%04x, expect 0x%04x, result 0x%04x, %s\n", reg1, exp, reg, (exp==reg) ? "OK" : "NOK"); } }
if (reg>0 && reg&1 || reg<0 && !(reg&1)) reg ^= 0x80000001;
Here's another expression that doesn't use "if" statements and should execute in constant time regardless of the bit values, unlike the previous one. Execution in constant time is useful for programming embedded systems. With disassembly, as generated by Visual Studio 2008:
And here's a hand coded one in 9 pseudocode instructions that uses one register for the two bits, and assumes that <<= shifts the carry flag C into bit 0 and bit 31 into C, and >>= works the same way, AND not only doesn't require C to be set to anything specific but preserves its value (u) throughout:
This can be reduced to 7 instructions if two consecutive <<=1's and >>=1's have exactly the same effect as a single <<=2 or >>=2. Note <<= and >>= are NOT equivalent to the C instructions because these shift a zero bit into the register and lose the bit that drops off the end.
reg ^= (- ( (reg&0x00000001) ^ ((reg&0x80000000)>>31) )) & 0x80000001; 00413B6B mov eax,dword ptr [reg] 00413B6E and eax,1 00413B71 mov ecx,dword ptr [reg] 00413B74 and ecx,80000000h 00413B7A shr ecx,1Fh 00413B7D xor eax,ecx 00413B7F neg eax 00413B81 and eax,80000001h 00413B86 xor eax,dword ptr [reg] 00413B89 mov dword ptr [reg],eax
reg1 reg2 C reg2=reg1; axxb axxb ; goal: reg1=bxxa reg1&=0110; 0xx0 u reg1>>=1; u0xx 0 reg2<<=1; xxb0 a reg1<<=1; 0xxa u reg1<<=1; xxau 0 reg2>>=1; 0xxb 0 reg2>>=1; 00xx b reg1>>=1; bxxa u
And here's one in just six (realised the &=0110 wasn't necessary):
reg2=reg1 axxb axxb u reg1<<=1 xxbu a reg2>>=1 aaxx b reg1>>=2 ubxx b reg2<<=1 axxb a reg1<<=1 bxxa u

We loved season one and season two. Season 3 was a different story, the contestants were much more like a bunch of whiners and crybabies and we lost interest. When the new season started we deleted the last 8 episodes of the season 3 and thought we would give this one a shot.
I got real disgusted with that ex Marine who played mind games and finally quit the show instead of facing the elimination challenge.

Ok, I'll assume I'm fine then.
Eh, if you don't see any red phantom creatures around, you're alright. Honestly, I've gotten those messages more than a few times myself, most of the time nothing at all changes. Only once while running through undeadburg did I have to fight maybe 3 red phantom versions of the standard enemies (and all they do is have more health/deal more damage), and hey, they drop more souls, so there's that.
Eh, oh, well... I thought I got more souls from them : <
At any rate, they're a bunch of punks.
Was just fighting Manus, and we killed each other. Any idea how to get down to my bloodstain/bonfire without falling to my death?
EDIT: Nevermind. Apparently falling 40+ feet won't break your shins in half in this case. It's like I have those leg braces from Portal 2.

xD Yeah you get a by on this one. Enjoy it.
Gonna hop on the Drake Sword train, it's not worth upgrading but it's a great starter weapon when you don't have 24 STR, use it until you find something better.
There's also Astora's Strait Sword or whatever you can run to at the beginning of the game if you have the Master Key.
I tend to rush to 16 str and strap on a claymore and just go from there. Dex weapons are never as fun.
Was just playing online and fell victim to this annoying-ass backstab bug. Dude's in front of me, stabs me in the back. Dafuq? I understand what you guys were talking about now. It's gotten me killed twice now. I was all pumped about finally playing online, but all the wind's gone from my sails now.
The matches are pretty hit and miss, and by that I mean you either hit or you fucking miss. It can be pretty gods awful at times, but it really all depends on your connection and their connection and how well the two meet in the middle. I've had some matches where it was literally well enough that parrying was viable and doable, and others where the guy in front of me stabs me in the back. It really, really fucking blows at times, but those good matches can make it all worthwhile...
Every single loss I have online (well mostly) is the result of someone running at my left shoulder and then while still in front of me locks into a backstab.
You can tell most are just fishing for it, so ghey. I wouldn't mind a ring that cut backstab dmg in half or something.
Yeah, I'm using a greatsword, and the only time I could do any damage was when I decided to swing until my stamina gave out, absorbing blows as I went.
They really don't, but that's also assuming the connections mesh well enough for the kick to connect. Now at high levels it's almost pointless to have a heavy weapon, sure they hit hard, but half the reason is for staggering and people get just enough poise to take a hit and still be able to roll around fishing for a backstab. Then they have the gall to say I'm cheap for countering their crap with Wrath of the Gods.
I think my other big frustration is the griefers in low levels. Nothing beats a guy in full darkwraith armor with a fire iato at level 13....
Gonna be $20 and apparently the servers are still up and will stay up indefinitely with no end date.
Atlus wins. Why did they not use Atlus again? Were they not up for a multi-plat release or something?
My first PS3 game. So many memories.
