What algorithm have you used in the past to generate a simple 2d maze?
There are a lot of various ways of making mazes. There's a huge list of them and their descriptions here: http://www.astrolog.org/labyrnth/algrithm.htm
I think I used the one described under "Perfect".
I prefer the tightly wound mazes that Kruskal's Algorithm creates.
The standard description of Kruskal's Algorithm is inappropriate in that it fails to distinguish locations in the graph from location groups, while relying on a pun about datastructure choice, leading to description ambiguities that confuse novices. Therefore I reject Kruskal's termonology.
I will use the following terms:
And from those, we get:
Wikipedia has a great resource on maze generation. I've use randomized prims algorithm with great results. The division algorithm looks looks interesting but I've never used it.
Here is wikipedia example of prim's at work.
One easy way is to make a list of north walls and west walls, then permute them. Give each room a number. Then blow up one of the walls in the list, as long as the two rooms don't have the same number, then propagate one of the numbers to all the other rooms with the same number. Keep going until you run out of walls. This works for rectangular mazes or, really, any other maze where you can give a list of "potentially connected rooms". Plus, it's pretty straightforward to program.
I would also take a look at some of the algorithms used in Roguelike development. There's a good starting resource at Rogue Basin
I have used a depth first search one time to good effect. It generates a good, random-looking maze.
Also available is a method where you recursively subdivide rectangles, which produces long corridors. This is called the recursive division method.
You asked which one I used, so I will make sure to answer that. I used the Recursive Backtracker Algorithm in my maze game on Rootbeer Games.
This is evidence that I used the algorithm, please don't view it as an advertisement of my work.

Please come to Boston. . .
in the springtime. . . .for a panel discussion on religious liberty, moderated by John Allen, with Bryan Hehir, Vince Rougeau, and myself.It should be interesting, given the recent statement by the Bishops on religious liberty, and the recent decision out of the district court in Massachusetts.

While I am going to Boston tomnorrow, I will not be there for this intersting panel. I hope it may somehow be podcast at some point.Given the announcement about the bishops proposed "Fortnight for Relgious Freedom" your thoughts will be most welcome.
I hope the posting of prpfs. Kroncke and holohan (noted recently at America's "In All Things" might be noted.)ISRM that we are at a stage of "battle" on this issue
Cardinal Burke is reported to say on EWTN that a Catholic cannot provide health insurance covering contraception because it is "formal cooperation" in evil. Thomas McKenna: So a Catholic employer, really getting down to it, he does not, or she does not provide this because that way they would be, in a sense, cooperating with the sinthe sin of contraception or the sin of providing a contraceptive that would abort a child, is this correct?Cardinal Burke: This is correct. It is not only a matter of what we call material cooperation in the sense that the employer by giving this insurance benefit is materially providing for the contraception but it is also formal cooperation because he is knowingly and deliberately doing this, making this available to people. There is no way to justify it. It is simply wrong.http://www.lifenews.com/2012/04/10/catholic-cardinal-a-sin-to-cooperate-...
Found the video of the interview with Cardinal Burke:http://catholicaction.org/2012/04/cardinal-raymond-burke-discussing-reli... quoted statement starts at about 6:45 minutes from teh beginning.
Well, of course, very few of us will make the conference, sadly. Why do the big cities have all the best stuff? Will it be taped and laid out on the web?
I may go --- though I can abide John Allen only with Prof. Kaveny as an offset. (BC makes webcasts of such talks, so it may be available online afterwards; edits may delete some interesting parts though, like Q&A)When I heard Allen at BC in 2004 as one of his books came out, I was disquieted at the tenor of his comments and wrote him to that effect. His talk was about "How Rome Views the American Church" with references to different cultures and how we need to learn the Vatican's language. The video is at http://www.bc.edu/church21/webcast.html?c21-20041018-allen-220.mp4#featu... I referred in my email to "the somewhat benign presentation I heard tonight about different cultural milieus...Ratzinger, Re, Sodano, Castrillon Hoyos, et al may be urbane, intelligent, delightful dinner companions and such but their institutional focus causes real flesh and blood pain..."As I was waiting to ask my question tonight, you suggested CTSA invite curial officials like Ratzinger to speak, and a woman to my left said bitterly, we already have and they always decline...I must say, though, that the Vaticans honeyed speech couched in spiritual language is so offensive precisely because their actions betray the Word they profess."Allen's retort came in his next column: Here's a tip for anyone invited to speak in Boston: Begin by acknowledging the legitimacy of popular anger and disillusionment with church authorities. At Boston College, where I had been asked to talk about "Rome's View of the American Church," I neglected to follow my own advice, and I heard about it from some in the audience.Minor memories of earlier days...
Will there be a guest internet connection in the room so I may write a comment as the panel discussion is happening?
I am attending the panel session right now. It's sponsored by the "church in the 21st century center", that looks like a great program at BC. I am counting 170 people in the lower part of the room, and there are at least as many in the upper part. Compared to the people I'm used to, the public is significantly older, and they have more books: many have brought books to read while they wait. The man two seats in front of me is reading a cartoon book, and I can just make out the text on the page he's currently reading: "Revolt". On the other hand there are amazingly few laptops: I am the only one using one in the lower half, and I counted four in the upper half (all Apple computers). The first speaker is Rev. Brian Hehir, a pleasant looking man with dark bushy eyebrows, then Pr. Rougeau, then Pr Kaveny. They start by telling one another that one should not use the "war" metaphor. I recognize with pleasure Cathleen Kaveny's clear voice from Jon Stewart's show. Allen, the moderator, is busily taking notes, not on a laptop but with a pen on paper! What's with that?Allen: What do you make of the controversy on the HHS mandate? Hehir: talks about "incursion". He says there's a problem, and I like him less already. He also has a pen in his hand, but only uses it to play with as he speaks, not to write. The other two are listening carefully as he speaks.Kaveny: talks about "for the first time, trying to have a basic set of benefits". Talks about the tension between the people, including Catholics, who don't think contraception is immoral, and the Magisterium. Talks about "hope" for a "compromise". Her question is: "Is this something we can all live with?"Rougeau: First talks about the contribution of the Catholic church to health care, historically. The community depends on those Catholic institutions, hospitals etc., and they're in an awkward position. Uses the word "anathema" for their perspective. Wishes benefits had been provided through the state (single payer system). Is there a threat to religious liberty? He says, it's possible, and talks about the "cow's nose under the tent", a pretty funny expression, and also ends with the word "integrity".Hehir: is not as optimistic as Kaveny about common ground and what if one cannot find common ground. Trusts the majority vote plus an exemption. Talks about the "Blunt amendment". That's the first half hour.
Fr Imbelli is also in the audience, and he also has a pen in his hand.Kaveny: talks about religious pluralism. Tension between institutional and individual religious freedoms. It's the second time she's using the word "tension". Hehir: how to deal with Islam? How to accommodate them? Advocates religious exemptions Allen: what constitutes religious activity? Which religious groups deserve exemptions?Hehir: presumption is on the side of liberty. Start with broad base view of religion. Allen: In other words, you know a religion when you see it.Hehir: The IRS knows.Rougeau: we're not completely coherent in this country. Core value: the state should have equal regard for all religions. The French model: the secular space of the state is supreme. Religions are subordinate to the state. But that's not the US.Allen: Of course you're tailing about pre-Sarkozy France.Rougeau: Catholicism is actually somewhat preferred in France The church of England gets special privileges in the UK our situation is different (although this country was based Protestant.) Talks about a place at the religious table as something relatively recent in reality. Kaveny: Talks about the line between religion and action. You can believe whatever you want, but when you act based on those beliefs, there are limits. What is necessary for public order? Mentions the Amish, the Mormons, suppression of polygamy and the state's argument that it's about morality. Brings back contraception. What is our public morality and if you move into the minority position, what rights do you have in society?Hehir: freedom of institutions. Religious communities have the right to establish institutions to carry out their work in society. Auditing as a condition for taking government funding. Allen: Cathleen, the Romney campaign, I'm sure, thanks you for your defense of their tradition. Hehir: I don't think "religious freedom" is limited to freedom of worship. The Soviet had that viewpoint, but I don't think that's the viewpoint in this country. Count right of that community to establish schools, social services, health care. (He wants exemptions, but seems to be in favor of Catholic institutions to remain committed and be ready to not receive government funding any more, if that's how it has to be.)Kaveny: starts criticizing the US constitution which she finds to be a bit "iffy". Mentions peyote. She says she keeps thinking about employees who might not really have much choice of employment - protecting their individual rights. No federal funding for institutions that discriminate based on race, irrespective of whether the motivation is religious. How do you distinguish between things such as discrimination and others?Hehir: protect the dignity and rights of everyone. Religious communities will often disagree with the American public, and he doesn't think that it means that religious communities should cave in (my words). How do you decide where to draw the line? Mentions "the bishops" for the first time. Rougeau: Heavy reliance, increasingly in courts, to decide those issues. But the right place should be the legislation, in an environment that reflects our pluralistic society. How to negotiate relationship between religious institutions and the state? We don't really understand it in this country. Our tradition is focused on individuals but does not deal well with groups. The American environment is kind of "weird" for Catholics.I thought that that was an interesting comment.That was the second half hour.
Cathleen Kaveny chose a purple outfit, which I think is not the best choice since the background right behind her is bright red. Rougeau: if Obama is reelected, it will give further weight to HHS, and it would be awkward for the Catholic church to fight it; an exemption would still be the question.Allen: talks about "war" again. 150K Christians are killed every year on this planet. This hour that we've been talking, roughly 17 Christians have been killed. If we become excessively concerned about the domestic problems, do we risk losing sight of that?Hehir: that's part of the problem. Budget, welfare of the US citizen, compare to Africa, recognize who we are in the world - largest military power, central economic role, thus have some responsibility when things happen in the world. Let's not be too absorbed by our domestic problems and let's not forget the rest of the world. We belong to a universal church.Rougeau. This is a remarkable opp for US Christians to break out of a vision preoccupied with ourselves. We're so rich! Think of what we could be doing in the world! Demonstrate that pluralism can work, and offer the rest of the world a model. (That's a very American remark).Kaveny: one of the great things about the Catholic church is our universalism. We think beyond our borders. Recently my students did not know who Oscar Romero was! Think about what martyrdom is. We want to die for "it", but we don't want to kill for "it". (I missed what "it" was, but we can guess)Allen: Just got back from Asia. Most harrowing example of threats to liberty for Christians: Iraq. Apostolic origins. 1991: there were 1.5 to 2 millions christians in Iraq. Today: 200000 to 400000. The ones missing: exiled and killed. Churches in Bagdad have been bombed. Bombing: priests killed, hundreds wounded, etc. Interviewed a woman who survived an attack by playing sea for 6 hours. The American policy in Iraq has created this situation. Christians are wearing a bull's eye on their back. The fact that the fate of the church in Iraq is not the number one priority of US Catholics is immoral. Incomparable to arguing "and also with you" versus "and with your spirit" -- draws applause.Question from audience. If the Catholic church were to forfeit its tax-exemption, would that resolve problems?Hehir: we don't have an absolute right to tax exemption, although I think it's good policy. Lifting the tax exemption would make the church more political. To involve the church more deeply politically I think would be a mistake.Kaveny: charitable organizations are tax exempt. They're not for profit. They emphasize human value. That's the reason to be tax exempt.Rougeau: yup. (my words)Question from audience: civil disobedience. Assume those mandates stand. What would appropriate civil disobedience look like?Hehir: I'm trying to stay away from the edge of the cliff on that question. First look at how individual states have worked things out. They've been creative. If institutions thought they were in absolute conflict, they would withdraw. That would happen before civil disobedience. "Withdraw" means stopping to offer health care.Rougeau: civil disobedience is extremely serious. Has to be done with much prior thought. Has effect on innocent people. Personal perspective. Civil rights movement. (Note: he's African American). For the issues we are discussing today, we are nowhere near that point.Kaveny: cooperation with evil. It makes the tax code look simple. There is wisdom to draw on before you get to civil disobedience.Question from audience: antagonism between religion and secularism? But in some other countries, minority Catholics insist that secularism is the best solution to their problems. So ?Hehir: secular is not the same as secularism. "Secular" is about space, appropriate boundaries. Secularism says that religious truth is either nonsense or only valuable for people's private lives but has no value in the public arena. That I think has to be opposed. (Obviously he's not French.)Kaveny: It's a mistake to see this debate as between the religious and the secular. There's a plurality of views, even among the Catholic church leaders. Positions deserve respect. Portraying people who disagree as "anti-religious" is not good. (That got some applause.) Rougeau: Paul VI on Evangelization in the modern world. Evangelize through the lives that we live. The secular space is one place for us to do that. The power of living our lives as Christians. Can be extraordinary empowering. But should fear an environment in which religion becomes perceived as an evil, or as nonsense. We fight that by providing service that the state does not provide. Secular vs religious debate: important, but can be a simplistic dichotomy.
Allen: do you have a final point?Hehir: I'm not surprised we struggle. The constitution is set up in such a way as to guarantee that we argue. Draw the lines wisely. Our deeper unity beyond the lines.Kaveny: do unto others as you would have them do unto you. Rougeau: let's not lose sight of our global responsibility. Allen's concluding remarks: 1. Let's thank the speakers. (Applause) 2. We need a lively sense of humor.Tomorrow is the 7th anniversary of Pope Benedict's election. I wrote a book, and following the tradition, gave a copy to the Holy Father. One day my cell phone rings, with a message on behalf of the Pope who had been reading my book: "please thank Dr Allen for having written this book, particularly the part about the future, because it saves me the trouble of having to think about it myself. " Let's follow the example of the pope and keep a sense of humor.
There was one more exchange that I remembered on the way back.Kaveny: Smith.Hehir: I don't like Smith.Kaveny: Smith is what we have.The questions from the audience were not live but taken from little slips of paper that had been quietly passed to the moderator during the panel discussion, so we never actually heard the voice of anyone from the audience. That was a novelty for me. I should note that my auto-correct feature played tricks on me a couple of times ("sea" = "dead"), but the reader can easily reconstruct. I don't know if Allen's questions had been given to the panelists in advance or were on the spot. Although Allen said it was supposed to be like a "conversation", overall it seemed fairly formal. All the quotes are not word-for-word quotes but my jotting down what I thought I heard, and I may well have been confused occasionally, so if a panelist said something unbelievable, the fault probably lies with me. Boston College looks pretty nice. When I first entered the campus with my car, I saw a clearly marked sign that said: "Religious liberty, this way". I wish I had taken a picture!
"Allen: what constitutes religious activity? Which religious groups deserve exemptions?Hehir: presumption is on the side of liberty. Start with broad base view of religion."The presumption is on the side of whose liberty? The employers', to never have even an indirect connection to a practice they consider immoral; or the employees', to use the benefits they earn as they see fit? I'm disturbed at the way that so many discussions are framed as though the only liberty and conscience interests that matter are those of the employer. I don't think it's a coincidence that the employer is virtually always more economically powerful than the employee.
Claire,amazing on the spot reporting. By the way, pens are back. Initially, the students saw them as a curiosity, a talisman from the sixties; but now they're coming to understand that they are easier to carry than computers in the backpack and leave more room for water bottles.
Jen: my impression was that Fr Hehir's focus was almost exclusively on the liberty of religious groups; Cathleen Kaveny several times drew the discussion back to the liberty of individuals (but I don't remember Fr Hehir ever following her on that terrain); and Rougeau, whose interventions I several times found refreshing, somehow sidestepped the issue.
Claire-- Thank you for such a presumably excellent summary. It still seems that the perspectives are so different on what is "religious freedom" that have such different starting points and presumptions and that the attempts to acknowledge the myriad strands and of religious beliefs in this country (what are there? 3000 "Christian" groups alone? from 10 to 70 miliion memebers?) would make us lean against exceptionalism in public policies except for aspects of worship and practices/policies/programs that are strictly for co-religionists... and then we have Islam with its own complexities and the various earth-centered faiths...the pluralism continues...
Thanks, Fr Imbelli and David. It was fun to do. I am a bit bummed to have only now learned of the existence of that "21st century" center - I'm moving away from New England in a couple of weeks. David, they said the video would be up around mid-May.Coming from France originally, I don't have any thoughts about religious freedom that would be appropriate for the US. There's a cultural barrier.
Claire, many thanks for your notes and IMO your analysis which I thought spot on as well!
Thanks for the extra info, Claire. And for your reporting on this.
Quick last thought - they should have handed piut pocket protectors to all with pens.
"Cathleen Kaveny chose a purple outfit, which I think is not the best choice since the background right behind her is bright red."Spoken like a true daughter of France :-)
Jen --You've focused on the basic problem: there is a *conflict* of rights in this case, the rights of the bishops and the rights of those who disagree with them. Too often this fact -- that there are two sides to this story -- is being ignored in the discussions.How does one resolve a dilemma? Sheer logic cannot do it. There has to be a weighing of possible compromises which recognizes the value in both sides.
Claire --I'd still like to hear your own thoughts about the American problem of religious freedom I'm sure your perspective is very valuable.
Anne: I fully subscribe to the view, which apparently is particular to the French, that religion has no place in public space. Our religion forms our moral sense, and our moral sense informs our political decisions, but the link is indirect. I see absolutely is no reason to have any direct connection between beliefs and politics. Exemptions can be based on moral reasoning but not on religious arguments. As to what is or is not moral and why, it's up to us citizens to figure it out without bringing up religion. Isn't that what natural law purports to be about anyway?That being said, I can't resist alluding to Catholicism in class sometimes. When teaching codes, I have used "consusbstantial" versus "one in being" as an example of obfuscation of meaning. I have pointed out the difference between "many" and "all" when discussing logical quantifiers. When explaining the rationale behind my assignments, I have mentioned "the common good". I'm always over-eager to make special arrangements for students who want to go home for Easter. I don't give cookies to my TAs during Lent. I have quietly planned group travels in such a way that I, the only practicing Catholic in the group, would be able to go to Mass on Sunday. I used to have posters of Raphael paintings in my office (until I decided they might make some of my non-Christian students uncomfortable and removed them). When my colleagues, who know how to push my buttons, say: "Since God does not exist", instead of ignoring them I am always quick to correct them: "IF God does not exist"... And I can't keep from humming Christmas carols in the hallways around Christmas time. So I can't say that I'm doing a very god job applying that separation in my own life!
Ann: as to dealing with those whose moral view is in the minority, I think of French military service and conscience objectors. Men used to have a mandatory 1-year military service. They were allowed to be conscience objectors and do some public service instead, but in that case their service was 2 years instead of 1. Since society held the view that military service was a good thing, that made a certain amount of sense: those who were committed conscience objectors were able to opt out of the army, but, to avoid having people take advantage of that in an uncontrolled manner, there was a cost to conscience objectors (2 years instead of 1), significant enough to keep their numbers small and to preserve the system. On balance, it seemed to work, more or less.

BYU basketball: Cougars very proud of what Davies has done with his second chance
Jonathan Hardy, BYU Photo
PROVO — BYU coach Dave Rose describes senior forward Brandon Davies' career as "really unique."
Davies is considered one of the best post players in school history. He has been named to the Wooden Award preseason watch list, and he could end up among the top 10 all-time scoring leaders at BYU (right now, he's No. 41 on that list and ascending rapidly, with 1,068 career points).
Last year, he posted the program's first 20-point/20-rebound game since 1975. He has a penchant for taking charges (31 last year) and he's known for bringing Marriott Center crowds to their feet with his rim-rattling slam dunks.
But as impressive as the 6-foot-9, 235-pounder from Provo is on the court, what impresses Rose — and others around him — even more is the way he dealt with a unique experience more than 18 months ago.
In the early days of March 2011, the Cougars were ranked No. 3 in the national polls and projected to be a No. 1 seed in the NCAA Tournament when the shocking news broke that Davies had been suspended for violating the school's honor code. The suspension — particularly the timing of it and the circumstances surrounding it — made headlines around the world. For a while, it even overshadowed the "Jimmermania" phenomenon that was taking college basketball by storm at that time.
While Davies became the subject of jokes in some circles, many observers praised BYU for its handling of the situation, for putting principles above winning.
And everyone wondered about Davies' future. Over the years, plenty of Cougar athletes have violated the honor code, but none faced the intense scrutiny and publicity that Davies did.
"With having a top-5 team and all the hype around that group and the situation that happened, it put Brandon in a special spot as far as the limelight is concerned," Rose said. "He had so many different options of how he could have handled it."
Davies could have transferred, declared for the NBA draft, or left to play professionally overseas. He could have allowed himself to be consumed by anger and bitterness. Instead, that summer, Davies voluntarily withdrew from school so he could begin the progress of returning to BYU, and then he worked with the school's dean of students in order to make that happen. When he was re-admitted in the fall of 2011, Davies said simply, "I'm excited to be back at BYU and look forward to the future. I'm grateful for this opportunity."
Rose is eager to watch Davies continue his development this season.
"For me, as his coach, and if you talk to the people on campus that worked through that situation, the progress that he's made and the fact that he's still here at BYU, trying to finish his career, they'd all tell you that we're really proud of him," Rose said.
"It's his senior year. He's earned a leadership role on this team. Hopefully he can continue to progress because one thing about life is, you don't make a couple of really good decisions, then life's over and you don't have any more decisions to make. Life goes on every day. I hope he can continue to do the right things and progress. The way that he's playing right now is an example to all of us."
Going into Davies' second game of his senior season tonight (7 p.m. MST, BYUtv) when the Cougars host Georgia State, his career so far "has been a learning experience," Davies said. "I've definitely grown from it, both on the court and off the court."
BYU athletic director Tom Holmoe is happy with the way Davies has bounced back from that challenge.

I have setup a mail account using Google Apps. Everything is working fine except I want to give the admin account access to all incoming an outgoing mail.
How can I do this?
I have setup a mail account using Google Apps. Everything is working fine except I want to give the admin account access to all incoming an outgoing mail.
How can I do this?
There is an auditing API available in Business, Education and ISP accounts that will allow you to download the contents of a user's GMail account including spam, sent and deleted items.
Google doesn't provide a GUI for it, but some third-party software, such as Appogee DMS, does.
You can not do this in Google Apps. You have to login to each account using the specified username and password. You can change the password but there is no way to access everyones mail unless you forward a copy from the users accounts.
For delegation ... Remember delegation needs to be enabled in the first place. Admin Console> Google Apps> Settings for Gmail> User Settings> "Mail Delegation"
FlashPanel allows administrators to delegate rights from any user to any other user. www.flashpanel.com
Related issues/solutions:
If you are just wanting to know what comes in to another user's account, there is always the mail rewrite rule (Admin Console> Google Apps> Settings for Gmail> User Settings>) .... where I say "If to {regexp}, copy to {another address}, optionally with [Via Fred] prepended in the subject".
The "Vault" (with Google Apps Unlimited) gives administrators ability to review anything
There is the audit report that lets you seach for emails in or out with subject lines, MsgIDs, etc. This can be useful.
We purchased our Google Apps licenses through Promevo. Their gPanel allows me to "delegate" access for any email to ANY user. Once set, the admin can easily view an individuals mailbox. We originally started out without Promevo but transferred our licenses over when we discovered the gPanel was included with no additional cost. We now renew at $50 per user per year through Promevo. I guess they get a cut from Google. Win-Win. The admin controls and support have been outstanding.
Easiest way is to set up an account and have all other incoming and outgoing mail forwarded to it.
When you login to that account there is a copy of all emails and you can use the search functions to find emails that you require. :)

7 Horrifying Moments from Classic Kids Movies
In some ways, children are harder to scare than adults. If you don't believe us, go back and watch some of the movies you loved as a little kid. You'll be surprised to find that, at random spots, they've inserted scenes that are bizarre, hallucinogenic and/or just plain sphincter-bustingly scary.
Such as...
#7. Willy Wonka and the Chocolate Factory: The Boat Ride
Beloved Because...
It's the uplifting story of Charlie, a down on his luck kid living with his impoverished grandparents who obtains a rare golden ticket allowing him a tour of Willy Wonka's awesome and wondrous candy factory in a premise that even Michael Jackson would describe as "a little creepy."
Right off the bat the kids see Wonka's delicious candy room, where everything is edible and thus completely awesome. After an unfortunate mishap wherein a fat kid drowns in a river of chocolate (it's how he would've wanted to go, really), Wonka invites the remaining survivors to hop aboard his boat, where he informs them that they're "going to love this."
But Then, the Horror...
Aaaaaand Willy Wonka reveals himself to be a fucking psychopath.
First the passengers, and us, are treated to a flying monster tearing through some trees:
Now here's a dead guy with a centipede on his face in some kind of green fart mist:
Now it's eyeball time:
Giant lizard eating something, possibly a child? Affirmative:
And let's not forget the bug-eyed sociopath reciting a song that would later be featured on a Marilyn Manson album:
Exactly what part of "this" we were supposed to "love" is unclear, but presumably it's the part when the boat ride ends and we're allowed to clean the shit from our pants.
#6. Dumbo: Pink Elephants
Beloved Because...
With the help of a mouse and some unspeakably racist crows, Dumbo is able to rise above his physical deformity and realize his full potential to become a circus sensation! Truly an inspiration for us all.
But Then, the Horror...
Disney teases our fear glands early, when Dumbo's mother goes banana sandwich and savagely beats the dogshit out of a young child. But they really go for the gold later on when Dumbo gets drunk, an experience which the filmmakers apparently confused with taking a shitload of bad acid.
The thing only lets up for a minute (starting at 4:15) before the whole sequence is topped off with epileptic madness.
We've been drunk before. This has never happened.
We understand if Disney was trying to discourage underage drinking, but holy shit. We expected to come back from this to find that Dumbo had used shards of glass to cut off his own face.
#5. Pinocchio: Pleasure Island
Beloved Because...
Pinocchio tells the story of a wooden puppet who longs to be a real boy. There's also something about a cricket and an old man, and a rampaging murderous whale.
The theme of the movie is the importance of honesty and a strong moral compass. If you are a good little boy, you will have a happy life...
But Then, the Horror...
...but if you're bad, you will pay. Holy shit will you pay.
Specifically, The Coachman will come and find you. See, The Coachman has a couple of goons in his employ that lure burgeoning young thugs to his Pleasure Island, which sounds like the plot of an America's Most Wanted re-enactment but is actually what happens in the movie.
On the island, the boys get to indulge in their bad side: smoking and drinking and playing billiards, which for some reason are portrayed as illegal.
Then, inexplicably, this happens.
Their indulgences lead to an inevitable and wholly terrifying transformation into donkeys. Which is bad enough, but then...
Really, Disney? The fucking salt mines? Having them shipped off in boxes marked "Tijuana: Donkey Show" would've been less frightening than dooming them to a lifetime of grueling underground slave labor. At least at the donkey show they'd get laid.
#4. Mickey and the Beanstalk: Donald Duck Loses It
Beloved Because...
This of course is the Disney retelling of Jack and the Beanstalk, and once again everything seems fairly normal at first. A kindly narrator paints the scene as we see best buddies Goofy, Donald and Mickey sharing their meager amount of food.
But Then, the Horror...
Out of nowhere, right at 1:55, somebody starts playing a Cannibal Corpse record in Donald's mind and he has an all-out Christian Bale meltdown at the dinner table:He also tells the narrator to shut up and then starts eating his plate and silverware.
Goofy and Mickey try to calm him down, but Donald notices an axe on the wall and, knowing they have a cow, makes the arguably sensible decision to kill it so the three of them can eat. It's worth noting that this is the Disney universe, where animals have human thoughts and emotions (not all of them comprised of 100 percent psychotic rage) so this is essentially attempted murder by a crazed cannibal.
Goofy and Mickey wrestle the axe away from him just in time for Mickey to sell the cow for some magic fucking beans. This causes Donald to leap up to the ceiling and start pulling his hair out in a white-hot psychotic fury.
It's a bit much for children, sure, but we really can't fault Disney for showing a realistic depiction of desperate insanity, because honestly, we would've killed and eaten Mickey by this point.

Suppose particle A interacts with particle B by means of an exchange particle E. Presumably, since this is quantum physics, the exchange particle emission and receipt are just one of many possible paths by which the two particles can interact.
Does that mean that A is in a continual state of superposition of having emitted an exchange particle in every direction? And that B then is in a continual state of superposition of having absorbed it (and thus moved if there was a force involved) and not?
Somehow that seems like the most sensible option, because the alternative is that A knows where B is and sends it E at some frequency determined by the strength of the fields.
The process above would also entangle A and B as they cannot disagree over whether they exchanged E.

6 Pieces of Office Equipment (For the Incredibly Paranoid)
#3. Bullet-Proof Cubicle Walls
One thought going through the head of a paranoid office drone as the briefcase bullets begin flying through stale office air must be the protection offered by his cubicle walls. Sure, slate gray cubicle walls covered in Dilbert cartoons are very soothing, but can they stop bullets? Since they're basically fabric stretched over foam rubber, you'd probably be better off trying to trick the shooter into surrendering via your fake kung fu skills.
The good people at LC Armored Panels have fortunately fixed this gross oversight in cubicle panel design with their line of bullet-resistant cubicle walls. On the lower end, these panels offer protection against rounds fired from a .38 special and a .22. For those who are worried about a more well-equipped and talented attacker, the stronger panels can withstand rounds fired from a 12-gauge shotgun, an AK-47 or a .30 Carbine. In other words, if Michael Bay is filming a movie in your office, you might still survive.
Via lcenterprises.com
While we admire LC's presentation method, this is clearly not Megan Fox.
While the product looks sound, the company's website is less encouraging. After a fairly technical rundown of their bulletproof wall products, the LC website lists what it calls, "Funny cubicle thoughts." This out-of-place, homespun collection of humor includes suggestions to cubicles like:
7) Private Secretary that actually performs all of the work that the cubicle dweller is supposed to do.
8) Special cubicle disco ball and music that turns on, whenever you think of something great.
9) Special cubicle clock that starts your shift 30 minutes late, and ends 30 minutes early (maybe 45).
How about a mug that informs that while a mental disability is not required, it sure does ease the strain!
Then LC goes on to complain how they don't have a very high search engine ranking and it's not fair they aren't more famous. We're doing what we can, LC.
#2. Civilian GPS Tracking Device
Quick quiz: Assuming you do not work with a deranged gun enthusiast who just ended a bitter divorce, what is the most likely transgression you'll face at work today?
A) Martha from Accounts Receivable will steal your Passion Fruit Parfait yogurt from the break room fridge;
B) Your boss will decide who to downsize with a spirited game of Musical Chairs;
C) You will be stolen by the Japanese Mafia.
Fun fact: Japanese men in suits are utterly indistinguishable from Yakuza.
If you said "C," congrats, you have a very active imaginary life. And once again, the free market is there to provide solutions.
This personal GPS tracking service gives the owner the ability to have his or her location continually tracked by someone else at all times, via any Internet-capable device anywhere in the world. Or, if they're lonely, they have the unique existential ability to track themselves.
Via thehalocorp
"Let's check in with me. Hmm, still on the toilet? Excellent."
Yes, this is the same homing device used by "federal, state and local law enforcement agencies" and once turned on, your location (or the location of the person you slipped the device to) will be broadcast over the Internet, presumably displayed with a map with a little red dot that moves down the street.
Via abaker03
Just before the first Alien swarm hits.
The only problem we see is that a pager-sized device is almost impossible to hide on your person (or someone else's person). Once they or that Colombian drug lord finds it and sees "BlackStar Real Time GPS Tracker" clearly labeled, they might just get suspicious. Of course, you could cover the logo with a piece of masking tape, but you're paying about $1,000 a year for that label, so you ain't gonna cover that shit up. You wouldn't duck tape the Lamborghini logo on your car, would you?
"This will mask my real identity as a douche!"
Providing your kidnapper is incredibly lazy, unable to read or just doesn't really have his heart in this whole abduction thing, perhaps this device could provide some good. Maybe the authorities will use it to track you down at the mastermind's fortified compound or, more likely, find you dead in the trunk of your car where you accidentally trapped yourself while testing the device.
"I haven't tested its water resistance when I'm naked with a large rock tied to my feet."
And really, if it's surveillance we're talking about, you'd better go all the way ...
#1. Hidden Cameras and Hidden Camera Detectors
Need to keep track of your personal space? Worried about microscopic particles in the air that probably have little to no effect on your overall health? If only paranoia and hypochondria could have a few drinks together and produce an unholy offspring to meet these dual needs. Oh wait, they did!
Via thespycorner
We're living in the paranoia renaissance, folks.
Want to know who's been stealing your paper clips? You could just walk over and grab another box from the supply closet, like a chump. Or you could shell out $700 like a boss and catch that bastard on camera. Using state of the art surveillance technology, this lovely motion-activated camera can forever put to rest the fears of someone rummaging through your cubicle or office.
Via thespycorner
Especially that one guy who just poses for hours over your three month performance review.
But now you have to fear that someone else may also have a hidden camera somewhere. Ah ha! But you have the hidden camera detector. This space age technology allows the owner to discover hidden cameras at work using lasers. How does it work? It works with lasers! What more do you need to know?
Via pimall
Wait, but what if their cameras are equipped with hidden camera detector detectors? So they can preemptively detect your detector and somehow cloak themselves? Someone must make a device to counteract such a thing. Come on, somebody! Build it before it's too late! Here's our money!

Question basically states it. I have a lot of problems beating Terran when they either do MMM(Marine Maurader Medivac) with tanks or even just marines and tanks. Tried banelings and infestors, and quite a lot of other strategies so any help would be awesome
So the first problem you have is that these are the units you've listed:
If I were to present a different list of units you might say Zerg is unbeatable:
So instead of trying to deal with everything a Terran player might do, let's break BioMech down into stages and look at what you can do at each stage.
3 Rax
BioMech usually starts as a 3 Rax opening (though it can starts a 5 Rax Reapers, or Early Hellion Harassment). So your early game should largely be based around dealing with Marine/Marauder forces. There are a number of good strategies to dealing with MM, but the most effective is usually Banelings.
Banelings do a very heavy amount of splash damage and since MM tend to
Alternately, if you want to skip Banelings and go for early Lair, a Hydra/Speedling force can be every effective if you can flank. This usually involved engaging at a choke (where your Hydra have better surface area) and running Speedlings around the back of his troops to prevent escape. Good Terran players have a "feel" for the timing on a Marauder reload and can usually micro Marauders without any damage loss. This is why its so important to get the Speedlings behind the MM Ball.
The natural progression of 3 Rax is into MMM. The reason for this is that Stim is a very dangerous tool and if your opponent forces you to Stim at the wrong time, that's a good chunk of HP missing (especially from the high dps Marines). Medivac's largely deal with this problem and increase the effectiveness of Stim. Since Stim is so powerful you'll almost immediately feel when this is happening.
You deal with an MMM much the way you deal with an MM force, there is little difference here. It does become worth starting to get Roaches as a meat shield, and I cannot overstate how effective Infestors can be at this stage. Infestors not only do heavy damage to bunched units, but will also prevent his Stimmed army from getting away from your slower Roach/Hydra. The other thing to watch for is try to engage on creep. Since he'll be using Stim more liberally, you don't want your units getting kited.
Early Tank
If your opponent sees a lot of Banelings he may instead go early Siege Tanks instead of Medivacs. If you force your opponent to do this, there is a good chance you can pull out a win. Since this is the time he's largely switching from 1 base to 2 base his production won't be in place to support a MMTank build. As a result he's going to cut production on something, usually Marauders. Depending on what this something is, you can exploit this for a much easier win. If he cuts production on Marauders, then you can flood him with Roaches. If he cuts Marines, Speedlings or Doom Drops will spell the end for him (as his army will be tiny).
Early Tanks are usually a knee jerk reaction to damage by Banelings. As a result, about 75% of the time you should be able to roll him as his strategy will be in disarray. The remaining 25%, stay calm, scout him, and look for what you can exploit.
Eventually he'll transition from Early Tank or MMM into BioMech. By now you're getting into late game and will have Tier 3 units at your disposal. If you're playing well you should be sitting on 4 Bases to his 2, and this will be a piece of cake. Since you asked this question I'm guessing you're not playing well at this point, which usually means 3 bases to his 2. If you find yourself in a situation of 2 of your bases to 2/3 of his, you need to seriously reconsider when to expand.
At this point you want to start transitioning into your end game strategy. Usually this means: Ultralisk/Crackling, or Corruptor/Broodlord/Roach, or some combination of end game units. The end game part is key. If you find yourself against a large MMM ball supported by Tanks and you're still running around with Baneling/Roach, you've essentially forgotten to tech while your opponent hasn't. To this end: Siege Tanks die quickly to Ultras, BioMech has a lot of trouble with Broodlords, etc.
Now if he rushes BioMech and cuts production of his army, there is a chance you could see 1-2 Tanks/1-2 Medivac/A handful of Marines. This means he's overspent on Tech and you can exploit this for victory. In a situation like this, I can not over state the effectiveness of Speedling/Baneling. If you get those Banelings in there it'll clean his Marines, and your Speedlings will mop up. Since his teching means he doesn't have a ton of Infantry building structures (and other units take much longer to build), you should be able to get your Speedlings from the battle, into his mineral line VERY quickly. A 1:1:1 opening can be effective against Zerg, but if he's using it to go BioMech he's throwing that effectiveness away (as opposed to going Viking/Hellion harass).
Remember, No man can do all things so don't worry so much about how to counter A,B,C,D and worry more about, how do I use what I have to deal with what he has.
Banelings are great early on against marines.
Vs Marine and Tanks it is very easy. Make a ton of zerglings WITH SPEED (zerglings without speed are worthless). Morph a few into banelings. How many exactly depends on the size of your opponents army. Be sure to have a few zerglings left to surround tanks.
I would first send the lings, closely followed by the banelings so the first soak up the first tank hits.
Another strategy vs marines with very few tanks would be roaches. Roaches totally own marines. If you can manage to have enough to survive a few tank hits then you should be ok.
If your opponent has marauders then it gets more complicated. My main strategy against this is to mass roaches and zerglings enough so that I can expand and keep myself safe. Meanwhile, I transition to ultralisks. Ultralisks can't be slowed by the marauders so they will totaly chew MMM while your roaches/zerglings get to them.
Some players will try to go infestors to deal with the bio ball by using fungal growth (units cannot move + dmg over time). While this usually works versus Marine/Marauder, a large number of medivacs will kinda counter this. It might not be instant win with fungal growth but it is definately a good addition to roaches/zerglings.
Some things you should not make (can win but are more risky):
Mutalisks since marines are cheap and counter them well. Thors are a total show stopper too.
You can watch this replay. Its really very exciting and shows how hard it is to beat this type of terran play.
Zerg was able to win only after creating some Brood Lords
I've had troubles with this too.
But I've had a lot of success by diversifying my unit composition. The Terran is using multiple unit types, and so you must too to defend against this.
They're using 4 unit types here, and you will probably need as many.
So a big bio-ball of ling/baneling/roach/mutalisk will be able to hold up against an MMMT group. Roaches to soak up the damage to allow the lings/banelings get close. Mutas to pick off the tanks and medvacs.
And actually, you can probably defend it will if you pick any combination of 4 Zerg types.
Like say, Hydra/Roach/Baneling/Ling...etc...
You mentioned that you're using infestors... fungal growth + a nice unit comoposition will really turn the tide. Also, if you have more than 1 infestor, you can spam infested terrans during the engagement. Infested terrans are like a +2 unstimmed marine.

King Abdullah directs authorities to provide assistance to Jeddah Province
January 27, 2011
Following heavy rains in Jeddah Province yesterday, the Custodian of the Two Holy Mosques King Abdullah bin Abdulaziz has issued a royal order directing all concerned authorities to urgently provide assistance to the people of Jeddah and its surroundings. The area received 114 mm of rain on Wednesday, and more is expected to fall in the coming days. While the flooding has inflicted damage, no deaths have yet been reported.
King Abdullah instructed Minister of Finance Ibrahim Al-Assaf to provide the necessary cash to facilitate all relief efforts immediately, adding that any officials who perform negligently in this situation will face serious punishment.
Following the King's directive, Minister of Health Dr. Abdullah Al-Rabeeah ordered his department to be on full alert to receive any flood-related medical cases. In a statement, he declared a state of emergency at all health facilities in Jeddah Province and announced the formation of medical field teams inside Jeddah neighborhoods in coordination with Civil Defense task teams.
Meanwhile, President of the General Commission for Tourism and Antiquities (GCTA) Prince Sultan bin Salman bin Abdulaziz vowed that his organization is ready to contribute to the relief efforts. He instructed the Tourist Development Department in Jeddah to work day and night to assist the homeless by providing hotels and furnished apartments and to join the committees supervising the rescue process. In a statement, GCTA spokesman Majed Al-Shiddi said that Prince Sultan has set up a hotline with all departments to ensure that they are fulfilling their duties and urged the owners of tourist facilities to provide assistance to citizens and expatriates suffering under difficult circumstances.
Furthermore, the Civil Defense in Jeddah has been bolstered by support from Makkah, Taif, Riyadh and Asir, according to Director General of Civil Defense Lt. Gen. Saad Al-Towaijri. The back-up personnel, he noted, includes individuals specializing in water rescue operations.

Merry Christmas, dear readers! I am thrilled to be a part of the Grace Filled Christmas Blog Tour, where we promote the books that we hope will bless you.
This blog post will tell you about my Deer Run Saga, a historical romance series that focuses on two generations of a family in New England, beginning in the American Revolution. The first two books in this series have received numerous awards, including the nomination of The Road to Deer Run as Finalist in the 2011 Grace Awards contest. I am delighted and honored to introduce you to my three books:
The Road to Deer Run (Book 1)
British soldier Daniel Lowe has been captured after being wounded at the Battle of Saratoga in 1777. He escapes from his captors and hides in the woods to die, only to be rescued by Mary Thomsen, an American farmwoman.
As his festering wound heals, his gratitude to the woman who saved him transforms into love. But as an enemy soldier, he is endangering Mary, as well as her widowed mother and little sister.
As he desperately tries to hide his identity, he is faced with numerous obstacles: exposure by the local Patriots, an attack by a British deserter intent on assaulting Mary; and his worst nemesis, the American soldier who loves Mary and figures out who Daniel really is.
The Road to Deer Run won Honorable Mention in Romance at the 2011 Los Angeles Book Festival, Finalist in Religious Fiction at the 2011 Next Generation Indie Book Awards, and won Best Romantic Excerpt in the online contest, Clash of the Titles.
What makes The Road to Deer Run perfect for Christmas reading and gifting?
For readers looking for well-researched historical fiction, they should consider this novel filled with romance as well as action and adventure. As the first book of the saga, it sets the scene for the series, which readers repeatedly tell me keeps them up late at night with the intensity of the plot. And the love story amidst the spiritual growth in the characters will draw readers into the tale of Daniel and Mary. A perfect read while cuddling with your Christmas sweetheart—or dreaming of finding a sweetheart under your tree!
The Promise of Deer Run (Book 2)
America's war for freedom from England has been over for seven years, but the wounds of that conflict still plague the minds and hearts of the residents of Deer Run.
Young American veteran Nathaniel Stearns, suffering from the memories of war that haunt him in the night, has withdrawn to a life of isolation. He still awaits his father who never returned from the war—a mystery that haunts him.
He is brought out of his self-imposed exile by a near-tragedy in the woods that brings him face-to-face with nineteen-year-old Sarah Thomsen, someone he had long admired but he assumed had eyes for another. This chance encounter opens a crack into the door of his heart as mutual affection quickly blooms.
But slander and lies soon mar the budding romance, rendering both Sarah and Nathaniel wounded and untrusting as their faith in both their God and each other is shattered. Set in 1790 and filled with rich detail of the era, this book continues the story of the Thomsen and Lowe families as they struggle to survive in the aftermath of the war that birthed the United States.
The Promise of Deer Run won Best Romance at the 2012 Los Angeles Book Festival, and was a Finalist in Religious Fiction for the ForeWord Reviews Book of the Year contest.

This is the perfect book for anyone that has a loved one that suffers from war-related post-traumatic stress. The healing and spiritual growth that occurs in the characters of Nathaniel and Sarah will bring inspiration to those seeking hope when the world seems dark. And the romance? It will set the heart fluttering! There is a surprise Christmas story in this book as well. Be sure to have your tissues handy.
The Legacy of Deer Run (Book 3)
In the year 1800, Danny Lowe makes weapons for the defense of America, still a fledgling nation. He also protects his heart from the allure of Susannah, a young woman who seems so far above his station in life that he cannot win her.
She fights her own war against loneliness and grief. Despite her finery and airs, Susannah is drawn to the young armory worker, who is distant yet disarming.
Love is the not the only entanglement. The nation's enemies are afoot. They creep within the very walls where America's defenses are being forged. Who are they? When will they strike? Who will survive their terrorism?
Intrigue of the heart and intrigue of the times are only part of this compelling story. This series finale is a gripping mix of romance and deception, faith and forgiveness, transgression and trial.
Janet Perez Eckles, author of Simply Salsa: Dancing Without Fear at God's Fiesta, says, "Each scene and episode sings with heart-tugging emotion, thought-provoking insights and lasting messages of hardship and pain turned to healing, forgiveness and triumph."
What makes The Legacy of Deer Run perfect for Christmas reading and gifting? This novel focusing on the next generation of the Lowe family is the perfect conclusion for the series. But don't assume that only romance is found in between these pages. This tale is filled with intrigue and tension, as well as unresolved situations in the Lowe family that lead to unexpected events for the family. This story is filled with forgiveness and redemption when it seems that none can be found. And my readers describe the romance as "sizzling!" I hope that this entire series can find it's way to your Christmas wish list as you learn so much about the early days of America.

Ex-Commish Vacates Saints Players' Penalties
The months-long conflict between the National Football League and New Orleans Saints players accused of participating in a bounty scheme appears over after former NFL commissioner Paul Tagliabue, who was put in charge of the appeals process by current commissioner Roger Goodell, vacated all player punishments on Tuesday.
Tagliabue, however, found that three of the players engaged in conduct detrimental to the league. He said they participated in a performance pool that rewarded key plays — including hard tackles — that could merit fines. But he stressed that the team's coaches were very much involved.
"Unlike Saints' broad organizational misconduct, player appeals involve sharply focused issues of alleged individual player misconduct in several different aspects," said a portion of ruling released by the NFL. "My affirmation of Commissioner Goodell's findings could certainly justify the issuance of fines. However, this entire case has been contaminated by the coaches and others in the Saints' organization."
Four players— Jonathan Vilma, Scott Fujita, Anthony Hargrove and Will Smith, were suspended for what the NFL called an intent-to-injure program with cash incentives.
Vilma, a Saints linebacker, had been given a full-season suspension, while New Orleans defensive end Smith, Fujita, a Cleveland linebacker and Hargrove, a free agent defensive lineman, each received shorter suspensions.
Fujita was the only player cleared of conduct detrimental to the league by Tagliabue.
None of the players sat out any games because of suspensions. They have been allowed to play while appeals are pending, though Fujita is on injured reserve and Hargrove is not with a team.
The NFL said it respects Tagliabue's decision and said the rulings have made clear that the Saints operated a bounty program. Goodell appointed the now-retired Tagliabue to rule on the case as a neutral observer.
The initial punishments for the case were lifted just before the start of the season, including Vilma's season-long suspension, so that a clearer ruling could be made. Coach Sean Payton is also suspended for this season. Joe Vitt, who was suspended for the first six weeks of this season for his involvement in the scheme, remains the Saints' acting coach.

Joe J Thomas, voice actor and creator of the blog Joe's Dump, recently proposed an awesome new system of measurement, The Rubber Chicken Standard. What with the Metric System failing to take off in the US and his opinion that the Imperial System isn't very intuitive, Joe argues that it's high time we all agreed on a new standard of measurement:
I've chosen the Archie McPhee Deluxe Rubber Chicken as a new standard of measurement. The reason is simple: every culture knows what a chicken is, and a rubber chicken is easier to use because it won't spoil.
One rubber chicken is the basic unit of measurement. (How many chickens tall are you?) But Joe goes on to propose the use of a "Kilo-Chicken" (kc) for measuring really large objects (It's the size of 1,000 Rubber Chickens):
And the "Micro-Chicken" (uc) for measuring really tiny things:
Click here to learn more about The Rubber Chicken Standard. We think it's brilliant.

"Ghostbusters": 11 Things the Sequel Needs to Do to Succeed
Chris Schweizer is a creator that lives in my neck of the woods: Atlanta. I always enjoy the opportunity to support (albeit imported) local talent. I recently email interviewed him about Crogan's Vengeance (Oni Press), described by the publisher as "the first in an ongoing series of adventure graphic novels spanning continents and centuries as cartoonist Chris Schweizer climbs through the various branches of the Crogan clan's family tree! Volume one of THE CROGAN ADVENTURES series introduces us to 'Catfoot' Crogan, an honest sailor who finds himself thrust into a life of piracy! Crogan never wanted to be a pirate and he never dreamed he'd wind up at odds with the most dangerous buccaneer ever to sail the Spanish Main! But there's more to this fight for 'Catfoot' than just staying alive, there's also CROGAN'S VENGEANCE!"
As noted at Schweizer's own site: "He received his BFA in Graphic Design from Murray State University in 2004, and did his post-graduate work in Sequential Art at the Atlanta branch of the Savannah College of Art and Design . . . he now teaches as a professor of Sequential Art and Animation at SCAD-Atlanta."
Thanks to Schweizer for an interview and thanks also to Oni's Cory Casoni for facilitating the interview.
Tim O'Shea: Your pirate tale really relies on strategy being conveyed in battle partially with dialogue and visually, how did you strike a balance that did not make it too detailed or not detailed enough, while still being entertaining?
Chris Schweizer: A lot of it was gut instinct and hope. In some of the scenes where strategy came into play, I was very mindful of the potential to get bogged down in factual minutia. I tried to combat this a couple of different ways – firstly, by giving the bare minimum amount of information needed to understand what was going on, making sure that once an idea had been put forth in dialogue that it wasn't repeated in subsequent dialogue. The other was panel composition and subject focus. Showing the different members of the crew in varying states of readiness rather than simply following the protagonist, Catfoot, around, bought me a little bit of extra reader attention during these expository battle preparations… at least, I hope it did.

Imagine the disappointment when trying to pair a Monster iCar Play 800 FM Transmitter with a new iPhone comfortably wrapped in a Speck CandyShell. In short, the business end of one does not fit into the business end of the other.
I've looked at the SendStation Dock Extender, but is there really any guarantee that this will fit into my case.
Does anyone have any experience with this or another dock extender, or is my best option to be more careful when buying a replacement case?
I ended up buying an adapter by Cable Jive. It fits the case and works just fine.

View from the majestic Lion's Head – Flickr pic of the day
This spectacular panoramic image, taken from the summit of Lion's Head, was captured by our Cape Town. Live it. Love it. Flickr group member Justin Govender, aka inlite studio.
Says Justin: "The photograph was taken early morning, on my first hike up Lion's Head.The climb was steeper than I expected, but well worth the amazing view of Cape Town and Table Mountain. I love living in a city that's surrounded by such natural beauty, wherever you look."
Do you have images of Cape Town you'd like to share with us? We'd love you to join the Cape Town. Live it. Love it. Flickr group!

Did Las Vegas pick Death by breakfast or the Binge?
Was walking around the strip, and the death by breakfast tshirt from woot shirts got a lot of comments, and the binge didn't draw much attention. Worlds greatest dad seemed to get people commenting (obviously fans of star wars). My run for a cure shirt didn't spark any comments. I was shocked that the zombie bait did not illicit one single comment.
My personal experience is that from the people who live and work in Vegas, the Death by Breakfast shirt was a big hit. Told many people about woot and the woot sites. Knew two commenters were obvious wooters with their knowing smile.
Have you had a similar experience?
2 Answers answer
i snapped a picture of you walking by wearing all the different shirts at once
came out a bit grainy but woot folks should get the jist of it
@w00tgurl: that was funny.
speaking of shirts, saw this one in MGM at the tv store thing they have there and immediately thought of deals.woot

Today I will be showing you an easy way to draw a turkey face, step by step. My little sister actually loved this tutorial because she wanted something to make for her teacher that was festive for the holiday. When I showed her the lesson she said "ooo I want to draw that for my teacher". So that is exactly what she did. Even though I have drawn a few turkeys in my time, this one was fun to make. I like the simplicity of the bird because I know the concept will be easy for others to recreate. Have fun drawing a turkey face folks, and be sure to show others your completed drawings. Everyone likes looking at art even if they don't draw. Peace people!

LPGA Championship switching courses, dates
(AP) ROCHESTER, N.Y. - The LPGA Championship is staying in Pittsford, N.Y., but will be switching dates and courses next year.
Officials announced Thursday that the major tournament will be held the week of Aug. 11, and played at the Monroe Golf Club. That's a change from previous years when nearby Locust Hill Country Club hosted the event in mid-June.
Locust Hill had been home to the LPGA Championship for the past four years, and served as a Tour stop for the past 37 years.
The switch in dates was made to accommodate the LPGA schedule by spreading out its majors over the summer.
The change in courses is one that reflects the Tour's desire to rotate the event across the region.
Wegmans will remain the event's title sponsor.

Policy Wonks
About Policy Wonks
The Policy Wonks are a Noisebridge committee dedicated to greasing the wheels of Noisebridge's vast administration, and cutting through red tape. We're here to tidy up policy matters, and make Noisebridge's structure easier to understand and navigate. We're the secret cabal that does this tedious work in the shadows so that you don't have to put up with it at weekly meetings.
The current members of the Policy Wonks committee are:
- Kelly, Noisebridge's treasurer
- Snail, a facist board member
- Tom, he's just this guy, you know.
If you want to join the Policy Wonks, please join the mailing list, and introduce yourself. You can watch this page to see when we meet next, but we also send iCal-style invites to the mailing list.
Not a Manifesto
A tiny manifesto found in "Fragments of an Anarchist Anthropology" by David Graeber. This is not the manifesto of the Wonks, but it does warn against things we should avoid.
The notion of "policy" presumes a state or
governing apparatus which imposes its will on
others. "Policy" is the negation of politics; policy is
by definition something concocted by some form of
elite, which presumes it knows better than others
how their affairs are to be conducted. By partici-
pating in policy debates the very best one can
achieve is to limit the damage, since the very
premise is inimical to the idea of people managing
their own affairs.
Our current big project is updating and rewriting Noisebridge's bylaws so that they better represent our ethos. We have a GitHub repository for managing the changes that we're going to propose. If you'd like to help us out, please file issues, fork the repo, and send us pull requests! If you don't know how to use Git or GitHub, please read the man pages, ask one of use directly, or email the list.
Whenever we meet, we fill out an agenda here beforehand. When we're done, we add a summary, and any things that we have to do. If we don't discuss something on the agenda, we
strike it out. When we complete our tasks, we strike out those items. Incomplete tasks carry over to the next meeting. We use a Riseup etherpad as a back-channel during meetings.
