Pressure Sensors - Heavy Duty
Developed for potential use in pressure applications that involve measurement of hostile media in harsh environments compatible with 316 stainless steel, a type of steel that increases corrosion resistance, improves resistance to pitting from chloride ion solutions, and provides increased strength at high temperatures.
The small size of these sensors allows them to be used on their own in tight packages or as the building block for a complete transducer. The vacuum gage series sensors are specifically designed for potential use in applications that can be exposed to vacuum.

I just finished converting my html site over to WordPress (about 500 pages) and I used Ultimate Tinymce from beginning to end. I went to make my very first blog post and Ultimate Tinymce is broken for no apparent reason. What I mean by "broken" is when I click on Visual mode there is nothing there. It's just white.
- I have only installed 2 new plugins recently (Open external links in a new window and WTI Like Post) and i've tried deactivating them, as well as others, which have been installed all along and haven't been a problem.
- I've tried deactivating and re-activating Ultimate Tinymce
- I've tried completely uninstalling and reinstalling Ultimate Tinymce
- I've tried clearing my Quick Cache (plugin)
- Nothing fixes it...
Help and suggestions would be very much appreciated. I can't get by without this plugin... >8>(

Google donates computers to schoolsStaff Writer | January 08,2013SUNDERLAND — Google donated 36 laptop computers to the Bennington-Rutland Supervisory Union recently, according to Superintendent Dan French.
The computers, called "Chromebooks" because they run using Google's Chrome operating system, will expand the district's initiative of having one computer for every student.
In a statement French thanked Google.
"Our partnership with Google over the last six years has had a tremendous impact on our educational delivery systems and has greatly enhanced our ability to personalize learning for students," he said.
A press release said the laptops are good for schools because they are easy to maintain and manage.
The Bennington-Rutland Supervisory Union includes Currier, Danby, Dorset, Manchester, Mettawee, Mount Tabor, Pawlet, Rupert and Sunderland and includes the newly-formed Mountain Towns Regional Education District.MORE IN This Just InLOS ANGELES As throngs of Pokemon Go players traipse around to real-world landmarks in...

NASA Langley Research Center
Hampton, VA – Upon re-entry from a deep space mission, NASA's next generation spacecraft, more commonly known as Orion, will descend under its three main parachutes, swaying in the wind until its final splashdown in the Pacific Ocean.
In that brief instant where capsule meets water, astronauts will experience the mission's greatest deceleration and with that, some of the greatest forces on the human body. That's where crash-test dummies come into the picture.

Hampton, VA – Engineers at NASA's Langley Research Center in Hampton, Virginia, are preparing for a series of water-impact tests to evaluate the Orion spacecraft and crew safety when they return from deep-space missions and touch down on Earth's surface.
After venturing thousands of miles beyond Earth, Orion will splash down in the Pacific Ocean off the coast of California. At Langley, engineers are preparing to mimic various mission finale scenarios this year by dropping a mockup of Orion, coupled with the heat shield from the spacecraft's first flight, into Langley's 20-foot-deep Hydro Impact Basin.

Washington, D.C. – The return of supersonic passenger air travel is one step closer to reality with NASA's award of a contract for the preliminary design of a "low boom" flight demonstration aircraft. This is the first in a series of 'X-planes' in NASA's New Aviation Horizons initiative, introduced in the agency's Fiscal Year 2017 budget.
NASA Administrator Charles Bolden announced the award at an event Monday at Ronald Reagan Washington National Airport in Arlington, Virginia.
This is an artist's concept of a possible Low Boom Flight Demonstration Quiet Supersonic Transport (QueSST) X-plane design. The award of a preliminary design contract is the first step towards the possible return of supersonic passenger travel – but this time quieter and more affordable. (Lockheed Martin)

Washington, D.C. – Humanoid robots will be helpful to astronauts on our journey to Mars, so NASA has awarded prototypes to two universities for advanced research and development work.
NASA is interested in humanoid robots because they can help or even take the place of astronauts working in extreme space environments. Robots, like NASA's R5, could be used in future NASA missions either as precursor robots performing mission tasks before humans arrive or as human-assistive robots actively collaborating with the human crew.

Washington, D.C. – Imagine a world with extreme temperatures that can wreak havoc on unprotected spacecraft and habitat components; a world where water is so scarce that plants are outfitted with sensors so farmers can avoid overwatering them; a world where precious water supplies are found in underground oases by satellites in orbit; a world where systems filter, recycle and purify air for the survival of inhabitants huddled in shelters.
Although images of human habitation on Mars may have filled your mind, the world just described is actually Earth, and the technologies cited are spinoffs, or technologies developed by the American space program that have gone on to benefit the public.

Pasadena, CA – NASA has joined a multi-agency field campaign studying summer storm systems in the U.S. Great Plains to find out why they often form after the sun goes down instead of during the heat of the day.
The Plains Elevated Convection at Night, or PECAN, project began June 1st and continues through mid-July. Participants from eight research laboratories and 14 universities are collecting storm data to find out how and why storms form.

Washington, D.C. – NASA researchers, working in concert with the Air Force Research Laboratory (AFRL) and FlexSys Inc., of Ann Arbor, Michigan, successfully completed initial flight tests of a new morphing wing technology that has the potential to save millions of dollars annually in fuel costs, reduce airframe weight and decrease aircraft noise during takeoffs and landings.
The test team at NASA's Armstrong Flight Research Center in Edwards, California, flew 22 research flights during the past six months with experimental Adaptive Compliant Trailing Edge (ACTE) flight control surfaces that offer significant improvements over conventional flaps used on existing aircraft.

Washington, D.C. – NASA's Orion spacecraft continues on the agency's journey to Mars as engineers analyze data from the spacecraft's December flight test and make progress developing and building the spacecraft for its first mission atop NASA Space Launch System (SLS) heavy-lift rocket. On future missions, Orion will send astronauts to an asteroid and onward toward the Red Planet.
At machine houses across the country, elements of the primary structure for the next Orion to fly in space are coming together. Avionics components are being built and simulators for the ESA (European Space Agency)-built service module that will house the spacecraft's propulsion and solar arrays are being delivered.

Washington, D.C. – In 2014, NASA took significant steps on the agency's journey to Mars — testing cutting-edge technologies and making scientific discoveries while studying our changing Earth and the infinite universe as the agency made progress on the next generation of air travel.
"We continued to make great progress on our journey to Mars this year, awarding contracts to American companies who will return human space flight launches to U.S. soil, advancing space technology development; and successfully completing the first flight of Orion, the next deep space spacecraft in which our astronauts will travel," said NASA Administrator Charles Bolden. "We moved forward on our work to create quieter, greener airplanes and develop technologies to make air travel more efficient; and we advanced our study of our changing home planet, Earth, while increasing our understanding of others in our solar system and beyond."

Fort Campbell, KY – The Super Guppy landed at Fort Campbell Army Airfield, December 11th, to refuel on a cross-country mission.
The mission of the crew aboard the NASA aircraft was to transport a 30-foot, 10,000-pound composite, multi-bay box from Long Beach, California, to Langley Research Center in Virginia. Along for the ride was the "Mighty Planes" television crew, filming an entire episode on the aircraft set to air in 2016.
NASA's Super Guppy looks much like its name and is an oversized cargo aircraft. A successor to the Pregnant Guppy, only a handful of such planes have been built since its introduction in the 1960s.
NASA Super Guppy crew member James Isley, performs routine maintenance checks while the plane refueled at Fort Campbell, Dec. 11th. A crew from the television show "Mighty Planes" flew aboard the Super Guppy on its mission from Long Beach, CA, to Langley Research Center in Virginia, to film an hourlong episode on the unique cargo plane.

If you want to hear a first hand reason of what is wrong with the schools in America, you need go no further than this video (which is really just the audio) of a North Carolina teacher who has just taught her class about the supposed "bullying" incident of a school aged Mitt Romney cutting a classmate's hair – because he didn't like it. And now many are raising doubts about the incident reported in the Washington Post.
A student then asks the teacher if Barack Obama is a bully too because he pushed a female classmate in High School (a war on women perhaps?).
The student was obviously referring to the story Obama told in his book, Dreams of my Father.
Well, the teacher was having none of that. Students are not allowed to criticize Barack Obama because he is the president.
According to The Right Scoop:
In response to a short discussion on Romney having 'bullied' a student when he was in high school, a student in the North Rowan High School class suggested that Obama was also a bully in grade school. The teacher then yelled at the student for criticizing Obama because he's a sitting president. But the student argued that they are both equal, that they are both men and that if you are going to criticize one side, you have to criticize the other. But the teacher argued the opposite, saying that they were not equal because Obama IS the president and Romney is simply running for president, and because of that we can't say anything bad about Obama but we can about Romney.
I believe the student has a very good case that the teacher denied him is right to free speech. This was an open discussion in the classroom and the kids were obviously invited to discuss the topic. However, the blatent censorship that the teacher put on the content of the discussion is a clear violation. Yet she is still teaching!

The Perfect Crustless Quiche
February 17 was a big day for my family this year. Not only was it my mom's birthday, but it also was the first time they came to visit Nashville. Ever! And while I've been wanting my parents to visit ever since I first moved last February, I'll be the first to admit that in the valley of a few weeks ago, it felt a little impossible. So I'm thankful to say that in fact, we had a busy four days, filled with many moments where I'd look at Tim and say, I'm not in pain!, amidst marathons of Downton Abbey, antiquing in Franklin, a visit to the gym and grabbing them Olive & Sinclair chocolate-dipped popsicles at Hot and Cold. It all started when they arrived early Friday morning, having braved a 6 AM flight to get here, and so we had a birthday breakfast waiting---and the star of that show was this quiche. Here are the reasons I like this quiche: 1) You don't have to make a pie crust. It's not that I have anything against pie crust (especially not this foolproof one!); it's just that … [Read more...]

Crytek CEO Cevat Yerli has pledged to release a free version of the company's latest 3D engine, CryEngine 3, which powered Crysis 2.
The SDK which will be free for non-commercial purposes was described by Yerli as "the same engine we use internally, the same engine we give to our licensees, the same engine that powers Crysis 2."
The SDK will be released in August and it will include sufficient documentation, Crysis 2 code samples, and example assets.
The SDK can also be used for commercial games as Crytek "will offer an innovative low cost licensing model" for them. Crytek will also offer a separate plan for non-gaming applications.
Add new comment
Why someone would want to use this, other than to make games cross platform? Cry Engine 2 is way better when maxed out. Crysis 1 with a few graphics mods totally owns Crysis 2. Cry Engine 3 is only dx9. It does not support all the cool lighting, shadows and particle effects as cry engine 2.

Update of /cvsroot/sbcl/sbcl In directory sc8-pr-cvs1.sourceforge.net:/tmp/cvs-serv28622 Modified Files: NEWS version.lisp-expr Log Message: 0.9.4.54: Declassification of INSTANCE and FUNCALLABLE-INSTANCE. It turns out that the classes INSTANCE and FUNCALLABLE-INSTANCE, as expressed in instance-pointer-lowtag and funcallable-instance-widetag, are incompatible with the MOP's notion of classes: the types INSTANCE and FUNCALLABLE-INSTANCE are necessarily disjoint (no instance can have a widetag of anything other than instance-header-widetag), but FUNCALLABLE-STANDARD-OBJECT is required to be a subclass of STANDARD-OBJECT, and must therefore have the superclasses of STANDARD-OBJECT among its superclasses. If INSTANCE is one of those, FUNCALLABLE-INSTANCE cannot be, so F-S-Os would not be of type FUNCALLABLE-INSTANCE (which is wrong); if it is not one of those, then ordinary S-Os would not be of type INSTANCE (which is wrong). CMUCL, at the time of writing, exhibits type system confusion in this area, as demonstrated by CSR cmucl-imp 2005-09-0x). So, we need to do something else; probably most straightforward to make INSTANCE and FUNCALLABLE-INSTANCE named types, as they are of the same order of specialness as e.g. T -- not quite as special, but almost. Some hacking later... ... the usual type system dance. Play whack-a-mole with test failures and compilation failures until they all go away. Primtype, class, typetran, and so on are fiddled with. ... somewhat hacky code for determining when a class is subtypep instance / funcallable-instance. ... different hard-coded constants for genesis; don't make a special instance-layout, because the instance class is gone. ... just to prove we've achieved something, make STANDARD-OBJECT a superclass of FUNCALLABLE-STANDARD-OBJECT. (Supporting METAOBJECT should be straightforward now) ... many many new tests, both of the before-xc variety (it's amazing in how many ways I can get the type system wrong) and of the regular form. Also add some ctor tests that aren't exercised yet.

Ade Bakare to showcase exclusive designs at Brides of Culture
London, UK - Brides of Culture is proud to announce that internationally renowned fashion designer Ade Bakare will be showcasing designs at the eighth BoC Exhibition at the luxurious Hilton Hotel, Canary Wharf.
Taking place on Saturday 23rd March 2013, this free-to-attend bridal exhibition is expected to reach a capacity of over 1000 brides and grooms to be. The last exhibition held in September 2012 drew in nearly 800 attendees and over 40 major wedding suppliers. Testimonials and feedback from attendees and vendors alike continues to encourage Abi and Kemi to strive to make the Brides of Culture Multicultural Bridal Exhibition grow from strength to strength, with March 2013 set to be the biggest and most successful yet.

About Brides of Culture (BoC)
Founded in 2009, Brides of Culture (BoC) aspires to be the largest multicultural focused Bridal Exhibition in the UK. BoC is also an interactive e-channel providing information on services, products and vendors for members of the ethnic minority community on all aspects of planning a wedding.
According to the last census (2001), with a total of 1,148,738, the largest ethnic minorities in Britain are those categorised as Black or Black British, with the next largest being Indians (1,053,411). Overall, ethnic minority groups represent just under 6 per cent of the population of Great Britain, with over 235,000 weddings occurring each year.
BoC is available for any bride-to-be who lives and is planning to get married in the UK, providing them with any help we can to make their day a special one. There are currently many resources available to those planning a wedding in the UK, but very few for those planning one with a cultural twist. This is the area where BoC is invaluable in providing solutions to regular issues and problems that are common in ethnic minority weddings, but may not be so common in mainstream ones.

I know I shouldn't worry too much about it because we received the eshop and netflix updates along side Americans but the ambassador message specifically states that it was for customers in the United States. Does anyone know for sure if Canadian customers will be receiving the same free games?

Thought I would add another rebound to the Canal Playoffs. This is me being silly with some play on words. I figured it would be fun to mess with Olly a bit. But seriously go add to the awesomeness that is @Olly Sorsby's Canal project. It's good stuff! Thanks @Nick Slater for the Blyth Font. Comments & Feedback always appreciated.

Man, that book cover makes me want to vote Republican. Is it intended to be a handbook for four-year-olds?
Um, I totally thought that the dude in the red tie on the bottom left was Newt Gingrich, and I was like wha...?
I actually loved, "What Liberal Media," though so maybe I won't judge the book entirely by it's cover....
sukuracon now!
Does nobody recognize and appreciate the work of Tom Tomorrow anymore? (Or only because the rival Seattle Weekly publishes his strip now?)
Yep, that's a Tom Tomorrow cover. I had actually seen it a couple of times before and never realized that Alterman was right in the middle.
I have some qualms with Alterman, and you're right that the cover sucks, but this is actually a book I'd be interested in reading.
it looks like paul's not going for it. it's up to you, bellevue.
@ Andy Christ, I really like some of Tom Tomorrow's strips, but this is truly a horrible fucking cover.
@ Bellevue Ave, after doing Norwescon last week, there's no way in hell I'm doing SakuraCon this weekend. Plus, there don't seem to be any book events, so our Manga Editor (Jonah Spangenthal-Lee) will just have to cover it.
I'm going to the Hugo House thing at Town Hall. With w7ngman. I am very excited. We'll be drinking at Quarters beforehand, if any Sloggers want to meet up.
And if any of you are thinking, "Hmm, that maybe sounds like something I'd like, but I'm not sure...." just go. David Schmader is a gem and this is guaranteed to be good. In fact, if you go, and by some unforeseeable force you hate it, you have permission to punch me in the face for wasting your time and your $25. Though you'd look like an asshole, because I'm on crutches.
I work in the Convention Center Tower and it's 1 part hilarious and 2 parts sheer ridiculousness that Sakuracon makes me feel this time of year.
I'd come with the Jew, but $25 is a total rip-off.
Sadly, I'd have to agree with @1 and @3.
I'll be at the Obama Fundraiser at Von's (across from Pacific Place downtown) tonight. A copy of Barack Obama's book, "Dreams from My Father", will be raffled too.
#10 is right. You're paying for this shit, Aislinn. Women's lib!
Tell him to get down here with a camera stat! The costumes make me smile because of how ridiculous they are.
Roosevelt, though permanently disabled from polio, was able to stand erect (heh heh) with the use of leg braces. Alternatively, he could be seated in his wheelchair as the image in no way suggests he is standing.
Thank you.
why is mr poe coming with Jews?
and where can I get some Jews to come with?
or on.
Why did you make it plural? I only have one Jew, and he's mine, and no one else's.
I recommend you take this up with Issur. He's (allegedly) found where the hip Jews go to Temple. He has yet to disclose the location, so I call shenanigans.
Alterman has a big fuckin' ego:
#19, "By the way, according to Mr. Alterman's book, NPR ain't so liberal."
You don't say.
what i love about the NPR isn't liberal thing is that people say it like it's a bad thing. Ooooh, a media outlet not telling you what you want to hear, the outrage!
I think the guy to the left of MLK is supposed to be Al Gore, but he looks more like Al Brooks to me.

Introduction: Falls are the most common cause of accidental injuries in older people, and frequently result in disability and handicap, emotional distress and increased use of health and social services. Balance, or the postural stability function, can be described as the ability to maintain the center of gravity of the body over the base of support. It is an essential part of movement, skill, and independence, and it can be affected by drugs/medications, muscle weakness, traumas and central nervous system disorders. The aim of this study is to examine the reliability of measures of stability and dynamic balance obtained using the Biodex Balance System SD in physically active old people with low fear of falling.
Methodology: Forty-seven physically active old people (4 men and 33 women) took part voluntarily in this study. All of them signed a responsibility compromise approved by the Ethics Committee of the University of Extremadura, respecting the Helsinki declaration about the conduct of clinical investigations. The participants stood on the BBS supported with both legs and looking at the display constantly. All trials were done without shoes. In the postural stability test on the BBS the platform is static in the anterior posterior and medial lateral axes, and provides the measures: (OSi), an anterior posterior stability index (APSi), and a medial lateral stability index (MLSi). This test consisted of 3 trials, each 20 s in duration. In the fall risk test, the platform is unstable and provides one measure called an overall stability index, the fall risk index (FRi). This test was done with the standard configuration, 3 trials of 20 s, and a stability level 8.
Results: With respect to estimates of reliability, the intraclass correlation coefficient (ICC) for the fall risk test measures was found to be highly reliable (ICC = .91, r = .85; p < .001), with a coefficient of variation of the method of 18.7%, and the absolute threshold of minimum clinical relevance of an improvement is of 0.33 taking care of the accord limits. ICC for the static balance test measures was moderate (ICC = .68; r = .52; p < .001), and had a clinical threshold of improvement value of .35. On the other hand, discriminant analysis indicated that the subjective perception of fear of falling based on a questionnaire does not predict the objective measurement of the balance with the platform.
Conclusion: The Biodex Balance SD is reliable for measurement of dynamic balance, and the fall risk test in physically active old people may be useful for demonstrating the progress of older people with fear of falling. These types of results can be very important to the medical sciences, and health and quality of life investigations. Further studies are needed to provide a more complete evaluation of dynamic and static balance on the Biodex Balance SD.

Check out Floating Island competition results!
Check out Skewing textures in Hammer, our newest tutorial!
Say hello to Mir, our newest member!
Welcome back!
This is your 8888th login.
RepDigit celebration login. Yay!
I passed the final driving school exam: the city driving test. Starting from tomorrow I can drive cars( under 3,5t). Yay!
My newest acquisition? Asus Xonar DS 7.1
The problem? I almost regret buying it, I think I have wasted 60$ for nothing. I am quite desperate with the problems it presents. I am just going to copy paste what I posted on the Asus support forums.
[EDIT]{ I resolved the major problems.
-flashplayer doesn't crash anymore
-I now have FrontPanel access, yay! The front panel has a pre-amp, and the headset sounds a lot better. The best part is that I don't have to plug and unplug anymore, I can just switch between 5.1 and FrontPanel from the Asus panel. That's a massive plus.
Minor problems still left:
-I must activate FlexBass when I switch to 5.1 to be able to get low frequencies, I mean BASS. Without that option activated there is no trace of subwoofer activity...
-I must accomodate myself with the Asus panel, in the windows sound options I'm only controlling a "Master" volume from now on
-I have to do a ton of fine tuning to make the 5.1 system sound how I want. That's not necessarily a problem.
-sometimes windows won't boot the first time, I have to restart and select "Start Windows Normally"....
Let me start by saying that I own Gigabyte GA-P965-S3 motherboard, the only hardware part that has been left without upgrade through the years. The onboard audio broke, and it's not chip-related but mostly connector related. They probably worn out after so much plugging and unplugging.
I decided to buy a PCI audio card, and I thought I should invest a bit more money since I'm doing this anyway, to obtain more sound fidelity.
After some research, I finally stumbled upon the Xonar DS 7.1 and thought this was the choice.
When it arrived, I was prepared for some misc failures, like a boot failuter or something. And indeed the computer failed to boot the first time, don't know what was that all about :).
Anyway, I proceeded to install the audio card. Downloaded the latest driver from the ASUS site for Win7 x64 because it's not provided on the CD. At that moment I was wearing my Plantronics Gamecom headset( modest, but I can't afford expensive things really). I noticed the improvement in sound quality. But I was to be soon disappointed. I wanted to check a song on youtube, and the flashplayer crashes. Firefox, Chrome.. doesn't matter. I tried on Vimeo: the same thing.
Soon I discovered that not even the 5.1 system works. The LF were nonexistent. Even though it was set to 5.1 in the windows playback devices panel, somehow every sound got mixed in the front channel.
Now to ensure that there will be no conflict with the 2 audio cards ( Asus and the onboard Realtek one), I completed these steps:
-I disabled the onboard audio in BIOS
-I uninstalled the Realtek drivers
-I uninstalled the Asus drivers
-I deleted every track of sound drivers with drivers sweeper and then run a registry cleaner(ASC)
-after rebooting, I reinstalled the Asus drivers
The results are the same. Fortunately playing games doesn't provoke a BSOD( well, I only tried a League of Legends match).
Ok here are my main 2 problems, for those of you with TL;DR
1. I can't watch flash videos(Youtube, for ex.) since I installed the Asus Xonar DS. YES I AM SURE it is ITS fault, because right before installing it I watched some videos.
2. Going to "Playback Devices", "Asus Xonar Audio Device" and clicking properties I see no Jack I/O information. Similarly, there are no level controls for each of the channel. The onboard sound card didn't have this problem.
Yes I have the Xonar DS Audio Center, but it is useless if windows doesn't itself recognize the audio features. Because of this there all kinds of problems spawning, like the desired sound functionality is next to impossible to achieve.
I have heard that it might be the driver itself responsible, and there are modded drivers that should work but I'm afraid of doing something wrong.
Can somebody please help me?
Does anybody know a GOOD Free or OpenSource OCR software, or maybe even a commercial one that has a trial period?
I'm mentioning that in the scanning process there are mathematical symbols or equations involved, and it's printed, not handwriting.
Ok. I was walking along a path in near a river today when I saw an earth worm crossing it.
"How sweet! Let's take a macro photo of it", I said.
So I took a photo, but then I thought I'd also film the oddly gross movements earth worms have.
But there was something even more gross that I only observed on the monitor home...
Filmed a Green Beetle. I'd like to film more videos like these. They are calming and beautiful. This one didn't turn up so good because of the bluriness( I have to set a fixed focal length if I want to film something viewable at all, because the auto-focus just sucks).
I need some advice on buying a new HDD. I'm very careful when buying a new product and I study reviews before throwing the money, because it's little.
Often I read not only reviews, but lots of comments from other users to analyse the situation a little bit better.
However, I almost convince myself numerous times that I should not buy the product after all, just because the fear of low reliability or because the product may be damaged from the start.
And HDDs are really sensitive equipment. Reviews might promote the transfer speeds of some hdds, or different functionalities, but I hardly find reliability feedback, other than miscellaneous comments, left by non-experienced users that do not reflect the real quality of the product.
I have decided to choose from 2 HDDs, because of their priceperformance(notice that I didn't write "quality", because I do not know how reliable they are).
Western Digital Caviar Blue(WD10EALX) 1TB
Now here's why it's hard to decide:
-The spinpoint F3 is said to be the fastest hdd from its class, even faster than caviar black. It's also SATA2 (not that it could saturate that bandwidth anyway), perfectly compatible with my motherboard(I have Sata2). Plug n' Play!
-The Caviar Blue is not as fast, but the company has some tradition and, well it "feels" more reliable. The problem is that it's SATA3(useless for HDDs), although it has 2 pins on which to place a jumper to set it to SATA2. It also requires some special formatting with WD software or what. I just fear of compatibility problems.
At first I had only the Caviar Blue as an option, but as soon as I spotted the spin point and reading this review which praises it, I lost my power of decision. I am really more inclined towards the Caviar Blue, but the Spinpoint F3 is such a solid option that I need some advice from someone.
So, what do you say guys?
There's little to no information about the game yet, and it might just be a 'forever' project, although it's set for a 2012 release.
As a child this was one of my favorite games. I played carmageddon 1&2.
Then after I got bored I remember I discovered on my own(didn't have internet at the time)how to cheat by modifying configuration files. Lots of fun.
Hopefully Carmageddon:Reincarnation will mean the same lots of fun, or even more, even though projects like this tend to loose their original fame.
Wazzup guys?
First of all, I got Minecraft! Yeah, some of you already know. What a cool game! You know what's the problem? Unlimited freedom limits creativity. It's just the way it is, let's admit it. Not totally, I still find this game incredibly fun. But by the time I finally get some redstone resources, and find the incredibly rare gold and diamonds on some maps(also lapis lazuli is as rare as particles in space) I get kind of bored to continue doing some circuits(never actually did until know, I should learn... I know the basics).
I also have a 2 favorite texture packs: Misa(64x64) and LB PhotoRealism(128x128). They both successfully replace the retro 16x16 without changing the general atmosphere or adding piercing-your-eyes eye-candy.
These days I was looking out of curiosity for some good ringtones, to replace one of the defaults my Galaxy Mini has. Although I didn't quite find something that was designed as a ringtone(I like ringtones to be Ring Tones, not cut up music tracks), I found a couple of ones that are just epicridiculous:
Ridiculous sheep with one having a grotesque hoarse sound
Old Nokia tune that has an EPIC turnaround- with a bit of editing, I would extend a bit the "old" part
In other news, today I was rejected at the driving theory test(20 out of 26, min=22)... after I made so many fucking tests at home and made 2 tests at the school to prove myself I should give it a try. Now I have to stay 15 days until I can do the test again :...
P.S.: I am trying to help a friend get some votes, so please go here and give him a vote. There is not registering required, just a simple click.

Is it a stick? Is it a tree? No it's a Supercat! (Pt. II)
by John Curnow on 19 Oct 2012
Slipping along peacefully under the Screacher, as mentioned in article. Nicolas Claris
In Part I, we saw how the Lagoon 450 slots into the range, what the cats are all about and maybe a little about the owners who have kept this brand strong, despite the malaise the world's economies may be experiencing. Right. On y va…
If we have done what and whom, then it has to be time for how, right? Comment ça vogue… OK. It is beamy. It is bulky and you will do a bit of motorsailing to hold it at around 40degrees, unless there is a solid and consistent breeze blowing. Good news is that you will only need the leeward donk and with 1000 litres of fuel on board, it will not matter too much, as the 54hp Diesel will only burn between three and six litres and hour. You can get to 38 if you try, but you are better off chasing a bit of speed, as it slips quite badly when you are too aggressive with it, for remember that it has fin keels, not daggerboards and it only draws 1.3m. That will help with close inshore work, however and the screws are also only at that draft, so you wont wipe them off.
There are couple of rules of thumb I had explained to me by Brendan Hunt of Vicsail, whilst testing the Lagoon 450. 'You do about half the wind speed in boat speed on a reach. We really recommend the Screacher for less than 10 knots and you can take that up to about 60 degrees. It is on a single line furler, much like a code zero, so it is really easy to operate and gives such a performance boost. You will also be able to cruise without ancillary power. If it blows up, drop the mainsail straight in to the boom bag and think about reefing in the headsail,' said Brendan, really showing how simple it all is. Powered winches and clean, easy to use and well laid out vectors for the running rigging do make it so, I can vouch for that. I like the fact that the kite sheets run up the flying bridge companionways and directly on to the primary winches. Couple that with everything being at your fingertips or one to two steps away at worst and you can sail the boat yourself, especially uphill. Also noteworthy, is that you can take your Lagoon in to a fair breeze without reefing, which is why the standing rigging is the way it is and they are a lot easier to handle in a blow than any monohull.
There is also an asymmetric kite that flies off the small bowsprit and you can take that from maybe 80 through to about 160 degrees. Given its versatility, ease of use, that you have ample storage room for it and the extra weight will not even register on the scales, I think you would regard it, along with that Screacher, as a fait accompli. The symmetrical kite will take you through to 175 degrees, but who could be bothered with all the extra accoutrement required to fly one, especially when you have these other options for most of the times you'll be thinking about it.
There are some other little nuances to take note of with Lagoon. Ladies. If the vessel is moored side to and you are using the gunwale steps, then it is a shorts or pants day. If it is not, please use the transom steps. You'll be far happier.
Safety is important and there are watertight bulkheads fore and aft to ensure the lagoon has the maximum rating. On another safety angle, you have four to five spaces on a cat to live in, whereas a monohull has just the two. This will help to keep people out of each other's pockets and any recalcitrant crewmember can have some time in the cooler, up in one of the fo'castles.
The beam and inherent longitudinal buoyancy of the hulls means you can carry a suitable tender and not require guests to get aboard a bathtub type toy to go ashore. Keeping it to a certain style requirement and given the amounts of harsh sun to be had in Australia, Vicsail can arrange for a custom bimini to cover as much or as little of the bridge as you require, even with clear vertical covers if you are a live aboard owner. Whilst talking of the niceties of life, that nacelle will take care of the spray coming back forward and thence over the deck, at the same time as removing the slam, as water punches in to the bottom of the trampoline. Like all cruising cats, it will not fully lift a hull and the angle of heel is always more suitable than a monohull. As mentioned earlier, a Lagoon also does not tramtrack and that all makes for very peaceful travelling.
Talking of peace, you will be happy to know that Lagoons sell in the first place and resell just as well. Vicsail are always being asked about second-hand models coming on to the market, but if you become one of the 15 to 18 people buying a brand new Lagoon from them each, then you'll have total piece of mind about your purchase. Whether you are part of the half that takes delivery overseas or the other half who sees their boat for the first time here in Australia, you get the same service. Obviously Vicsail are there, legals are covered and then a one week handover commences, where sailing reefing, setting up and just about everything is covered off. One third of new owners come from powerboats, another third played with tugboats in the bath and the final third are coming across from monohulls and all of them appreciate the attention to detail. As Brendan says, 'If the first five days are fun and enjoyable for the entire family, then next three years will go down well and be fun and enjoyable for us, too!'
The penultimate point is not so much a nuance as an aide memoir, so to speak. If you are not ready yet, but soon, do not fear. Whilst the 380 and 421 have newer siblings in the 390 and 400S2, the former pair still have a huge forward order book and will be around for a while yet, which is kind of cool when you do 250 units of each a year, worldwide. If the aura of the new excites you, then the 400S2 will be the first to come with what is effectively, two owner's hulls. There will be three and four cabin versions for charter companies, but this sounds interesting and kind of Frenchy, Citroën and well, now we add Lagoon to that small, but memorable list. The 400S2 and the new 52 will also bring new Nauta Design theories on the interior treatments and the latter is said to be kind of edgier… Hhmmmm. Could be good. One thing that is good to see, is that it is hard to get several Lagoons in the one spot for a Rendezvous – their club type events. Apart from seeing them in some of the best cruising grounds around the world, Lagoons are one of those rarer types of vessel - the kind that really gets used. Indeed more than a few owners actually live on board.
C'est combine? Well, as tested, there is a bit of change from AU$800,000. Like all the European bands now, in just about every asset category, there is the base and then the there is plus, plus. What you choose in that way is entirely up to you in terms of electronics and fit out. You might think the price is healthy, but I tend to think for a spacious apartment it is pretty good. Also, when you get as much room as say a 62-foot monohull, well it is a bit of a lay down misere. Add to that what you can do with this apartment and it is easy to see why Lagoons stayed constant in terms of sales during the prolonged global downturn, whilst monohulls had a hard time of it. If you are going to be a live aboard owner, then you could well be keen to start the negotiations now.
Do yourself a favour and go and try a Lagoon on for size. They have them from 38 to 62 feet and the only sticks you'll be thinking of are the ones that form flotsam jetsam on deserted beaches. The only trees on your mind will be the ones you see appear over horizon as you sail up to a new location. Simply visit vicsail.com or contact Vicsail on +61 2 9327 2088, for more details.

America's Cup - Glenn Ashby on Emirates Team NZ's road to Bermuda
Part 2 of the interview with Emirates Team NZ skipper Glenn Ashby.
In this part of the interview we look at what is going to happen once Emirates Team NZ get their 'AC49.5' sailing in Auckland, and how the campaign may shape up before they leave for Bermuda. Ashby wouldn't be drawn on whether Team New Zealand had started their AC50 build, with July being the usual start of what is usually a five-month build and commissioning period for an end of December launch.

Hi, guys
In the Shadow map sample in ShaderX2, The author draw the shadow like that:
1: Disable the color writing, and render all the scene to generate the depth.
2: use ZFUNC_EQUAL to render the scene with each light
Here is the confusion: If i use the ZFUNC_EQUAL and render something with the same method above, i will encounter the depth competition, but the sample not. Further more, i check the bias state in pix, the depth bias is 0.
so how can i avoid the depth competition problem with ZFUNC_EQUAL ?
Appreciate for any clues about it.
Forgive my poor English.
Depth competition occurs with ZFUNC_EQUAL but no in Shadow Map sample in ShaderX2

Deuces Wild! Dueling Pianos walk on cancer in Wabasha.
Moonshine Showcase presents: An American Cancer Society: Making Strides Against Breast Cancer BENEFIT SHOW featuring Deuces Wild! Dueling Pianos.
Owner of Moonshine Showcase, Barry Hill, has brought a number of quality shows to Wabasha, MN but he has never put his love for music to work for such a profound charitable organization. "Moonshine Showcase is part of the community and with that comes the opportunity to help create awareness for things like ACS's Making Strides Against Breast Cancer" says Hill.
This partnership highlights the importance of community involvement for the American Cancer Society. "Making Strides Against Breast Cancer unites us all to walk together as the most powerful force to end breast cancer," said Paul Branstad at the American Cancer Society. "We are so thankful for how this community has pulled together to encourage everyone to change the course of breast cancer forever. Making Strides walkers and supporters can be proud that their efforts are helping 2.6 million breast cancer survivors living in the US celebrate another birthday this year."
The American Cancer Society is the leader in the fight to end breast cancer and all cancers investing the most in research of any non-governmental organization to find, prevent, treat, and cure the disease. Today, 1 in every 2 women newly diagnosed with breast cancer reaches out to us for help and support.
Making Strides Against Breast Cancer is the American Cancer Society's premier breast cancer event. It is an event that celebrates life, survivorship, and the hope that someday no one hears the words "you have breast cancer." People of all ages are encouraged to participate in this noncompetitive, team focused 5K walk. There is no minimum fee to participate, either. To find out further information go to MakingStridesWalk.org.
Since Moonshine Showcase's inception in 2009, they have brought national touring artists to the small river town of Wabasha, MN. Hill describes his excitement for an opportunity to give the community quality entertainment coupled with helping others. " I love the idea of being able to give people a great show while at the same time supporting such a worthwhile cause", says Hill.
If you want to go: Moonshine Showcase presents: DEUCES WILD! DUELING PIANOS. American Cancer Society: Making Strides Against Breast Cancer BENEFIT SHOW! Live @ The Broadway Theater – Wabasha, MN. Doors @ 6pm – Music @ 7pm. Tickets $30 advance / $38 door. Tickets are available by phone (651) 564-0569 or at Hill's Hardware Hank – Wabasha or online at www.moonshineshowcase.com

- Today in audiobooks: recordings of erotic novels are selling like love muffins. And why not? What better way to spice up a long drive or a boring Saturday night than with a good story and some professionally stylized heavy breathing? But according to two popular vocal talents, Jennifer Mack and Soozi Cheyenne, the work can be taxing: "The explosion of sex-infused books (much of it self-published) and the popularity of MP3 downloads have combined to produce a vast universe of fictional aural sex. The books range from fantasy romance with rose petals on the bed to raunchier fare with lots of rough sex … Reading the raunchy stuff requires stamina. 'After your fifteenth sex scene, it becomes exhausting,' Mack said. 'You can only do so many.' 'Sometimes I go, This is too early in the day for this,' Cheyenne chimed in. 'Sometimes the descriptions of the genitalia, like love muffin and throbbing manhood, send me into fits of giggles. So you take a break. You have a cigarette. You buy a salad.' "
- In the fifties, a cultural anthropologist named Bert Kaplan undertook a massive effort to capture and store people's dreams on Microcards: "This vast catalogue of intimate details was assembled in the service and spirit of early twentieth-century social science, with its aspirations to produce a comprehensive account of the human mind, both within and across cultures … With the aid of the most advanced technologies for extraction and storage, they aimed to gather together testimonies of subjectivity from as many parts of the world as they could and largely leave to others the work of drawing conclusions about the whole. This was not a digest of confessional poetry or a narrow selection of case studies or personal histories."
- The artist Aurel Schmidt's new show, "The Blast Furnace of Civilization," features ceramic geese with candles shoved down their throats (Foie Gras Candelabra), a pair of Converse sneakers outfitted with the Campbell's Soup logo, and a Santa with the body of a yoga-toned young woman. "I am interested in the strange, mutant, man-made objects we buy, we touch, we orbit our identities around," Schmidt says. "How they are presented to us, the way they are sold, the images of the objects online—flat and bright—or in stores, pretending to be things they are not … I am just fascinated by the process, it's very dark but very interesting and it touches us every day—we interact with it every minute."
- Being a crate-digging, record-collecting jazz aficionado is all well and good if you're a guy. But if you're not … "Record collecting, as the foremost practice through which relics of jazz history circulate and accrue value, reinforces in material culture the gender-based misrepresentations of the culture at large … Only by confining his collection within limits can the collector achieve the mastery he seeks. Logistical constraints, necessarily producing exclusions, make the collector's mission possible … Women are pressured to inhabit male practices of appreciation, only to regularly be doubted and shamed for trying to impress men."
- Today in trolls: hats off to jeremy1122, a Redditor who spent the better part of a year perfecting the style of a prolix, snobby David Foster Wallace fan, leaving a spoor of pretension and lit-bro entitlement wherever he went. "David Foster Wallace, I think, wrote sex scenes better than any other author," jeremy1122 wrote once. "Everything in Infinite Jest tends toward infinity, like a great cosmic orgasm, and in the end, reading the text itself is the real sex. A coital bond between Wallace's mind and ours."
Where Science Meets Superstition, and Other News
November 19, 2015 | by Dan Piepenbring
- With the National Book Awards over and done with, we can turn our attention to a more pressing matter: the annual Literary Review's Bad Sex in Fiction Award. As a close follower of this prize, I can assure you that this year's nominees have written some of the best worst sex in its illustrious history. The competition is stiff. E.g.: "Gwennie shoved him in though she was dry. He shut his eyes and thought of mangoes, split papayas, fruits tart and sweet and dripping with juice, and then it was off, and he groaned and his whole body turned sweet." Or: "She stroked my pole and took off my briefs, and I got between her and spread her muscular thighs with my knees and rubbed myself against her until she was wet as a waterslide, and then I split her."
- Wyatt Mason thinks you should read War Music, Christopher Logue's version of the Iliad. If you've always found Homer boring, then Logue's is the Iliad for you—he translated it even though he couldn't read Greek. "His Homer sounds like no version of that ancient story you've ever heard … This is not Homer: it's Logue's Homer. Like all translations, it departs fundamentally from the language of the original. Unlike many translations, it arrives at a version that, because of its radical departures, gets us closer to the original than many more defensibly 'faithful' translations have ever managed … He died before he could conclude much more than half of a full account of those ancient sounds. But, oh, what he managed to leave us: a vision of Homer as intimate and alive as a breath."
- Look alive, people. These are the days of the winner-take-all economy, the days when only a handful of novels each year attain "must-read" status—the days of the seven-figure advance for debut novels. "The lack of a sales track record is one of the factors that makes debut authors most appealing, publishers say, because there is no hard data to dampen expectations … Some worry that large payouts for debut novels could do more harm than good. They put pressure on first-time authors and consume resources that otherwise might go to authors who have posted moderate sales, some agents and publishing executives said … Moreover, if the book doesn't turn a profit, the relationship between the author and publisher can sour. And those disappointing sales figures are available for any other publisher to peruse when the author tries to sell her next novel."
- Delete your weather app, turn off your GPS, and purge weather.com from your bookmarks—all you really need is The Old Farmer's Almanac, which has been hailed for its accuracy since 1792. It remains, in its stubborn way, a forerunner of the Information Age: "The Old Farmer's Almanac has long had a reputation for getting the forecast right, and doing so on an outlandish timescale. In the 1930s and 1940s, people would write to the Almanac to ask about weather conditions for specific days, months in advance. Brides wanted sunshine for their wedding days; rabbis would ask for the exact time of sunset in a certain city, so they could plan the lighting of altar candles … The Old Farmer's Almanac didn't have to be right all the time, it just had to be right most of the time. The perception that it was is a big part of why the Almanac has endured."
- Today in wishful thinking: using the power of language, you can see a positive trend in any outcome, any set of data. Suddenly, significance is everywhere. Scientists learned this lesson a long time ago, as this list of weasel words from their research papers suggests: "a margin at the edge of significance," "a marginal trend toward significance," "a near-significant trend," "a clear tendency to significance," "a barely detectable statistically significant difference" …
The Flexible, Forgeable American Signature, and Other News
May 1, 2015 | by Dan Piepenbring
- On etiquette, art, and the increasing complications of public space: "Taking a selfie in a museum may be disruptive to others, and antithetical to the experience of art, yet given the option, most people will avoid walking through the line of sight and ruining someone else's photograph … In the end, that is the fundamental paradox of art and public space: We go there both to be free and to submit."
- The Patriots' tight end Shrek Rob "Gronk" Gronkowski has inspired a cottage industry—people can't seem to write enough erotic novels about the guy. (Sample salaciousness: "Suddenly, all I wanted to do was watch Gronk do his thang-thang in the zone place there. My vagina demanded it.") Now a couple is suing the author of A Gronking to Remember for using their image on her cover without permission.
- "Historical fiction has become a byword for middlebrow wasteland." But Hilary Mantel and Penelope Fitzgerald, whom critics are fond of comparing, have written novels that make a compelling case for the genre—so much so that people have started bickering about whether they're really "historical" fiction at all …
- "I think something happened, somewhere around Love's Labour's Lost and the early history plays and going into Romeo and Juliet. Either he fell in love or he just grew up, but something happened to him where he suddenly 'got it' about women and there was a profound shift in his writing." In which Shakespeare gets acquainted with the female psyche.
- The demise of the signature: a new poll suggests that very few Americans give a hoot about our John Hancocks. "While 61% of responders sign paper at least once a week or more, nearly half do so in a hurry and a full 30% just scribble something fast to get it done … 30% said they have a 'flexible' signature, with 64% saying it's because of computer use. A full 81% of people admitted to faking someone's signature three or more times a year, and a quarter said they wouldn't be able to tell if someone had forged their own."
The Impossible Dream
March 27, 2015 | by Sadie Stein
It made headlines last year when word got out that Terry Gilliam would finally resume work on his windmill-tilting Don Quixote—and cineastes speak with awe of Orson Welles's unfinished 1955 Quixote. But there's one Quixote adaptation that no one talks about much, that few people seem even to know about: the Spanish pornographic cartoon from the seventies.
I'm not going to link to it. If you want to track it down, you can. The caption on one Web site reads, "Just too cool … Must see … " I'm not a professional film critic, but I respectfully disagree—the erotic Don Quijote cartoon is tedious in the extreme. Read More »
New Lovers: An Interview with Paul Chan
March 10, 2015 | by Jennifer Krasinski
Paul Chan is best known as a multimedia artist, writer, and activist, but in 2010 he added publisher to his long list of achievements when he founded Badlands Unlimited, an imprint with a mission that embraced changes in the way books are created and circulated: "We make books in an expanded field." Chan's modest house boasts a list rich in writing and ideas. In its brief history, it's published, among others, Calvin Tomkins's collected interviews with Marcel Duchamp, Yvonne Rainer's poems, Saddam Hussein's speeches on democracy, and a monograph of curator Hans-Ulrich Obrist's notes and hand-drawn diagrams.
This year, Chan and his Badlands coconspirators—Ian Cheng, Micaela Durand, and Matthew So—launched the first three titles of New Lovers, a series of erotic novels written by women for a new generation's sexual imagination. In Lilith Wes's We Love Lucy, a young woman throuples up with her best friend and his boyfriend; Wednesday Black's How to Train Your Virgin tells of a queen in a colorful, fantastic realm who tries to win back the lust of her king; and in God, I Don't Even Know Your Name, Andrea McGinty tracks a young artist's worldwide sexual adventures after she begins using a new dating app called Bangly. In short, the books are intended to be colorfully hot reads for the thinking pervert.
I met with Chan to talk about New Lovers a few weeks ago in his airy, light-filled studio in Industry City, Brooklyn. He and his team were in the final stages of completing work for "Nonprojections for New Lovers," Chan's solo exhibition at the Guggenheim Museum in New York, organized in honor of his winning the 2014 Hugo Boss Prize. To my surprise, Chan was utterly cool and calm considering the coming storm.
Badlands Unlimited largely publishes art books. How does erotica fit into your mission?
From the very beginning, one of the models for Badlands has been Maurice Girodias's Olympia Press, which was one of the craziest, most vanguard presses out there. They funded themselves selling erotica. A year and a half ago, we published a political romance inspired by Michele Bachmann by the poet Trey Sager. It was called Fires of Siberia, and we had a lot of fun doing it. So we thought, Why not explicitly use the model of Olympia Press to do a series of erotic romance books? We'll focus on women writers, publish them as paperbacks and e-books, and see what we get.
Why focus on women writers?
They write better erotica. We read some manuscripts written by men. We didn't like them. Read More »
My Mother Taught Me
February 18, 2015 | by Dan Piepenbring
A poet's misadventures in erotica.
I've written prose. I've written several novels that no one has seen. Well, one was published.
My Mother Taught Me, an erotic novel, wasn't it?
It's about sexuality. You have to understand, people were writing sex books but no one was writing them well. I thought pornography should be as much of a genre as cowboy stories. But pornography is boring. Childish. Unhealthy. I thought, Why not have a novel of sexuality that's not paralyzed by the need for orgasm? So I wrote a good pornographic novel to show it could be done. An enjoyment rather than a momentary excitement. There were so many pornographic novels written; why weren't they effective? A momentary spasm. Some people will have an orgasm if you say a dirty word or say, What he did to her body was . . . But what if you approach it as a real novel? The idea of entertainment intrigued me at the time—so I wrote one.
—The Art of Poetry No. 91, 2005
Jack Gilbert, who would've been ninety today, actually published two erotic novels: My Mother Taught Me and Forever Ecstasy, both coauthored with Jean Maclean and published under the opaque nom de porn Tor Kung. Olympia Press, a short-lived purveyor of smut and other wonders, foisted both titles upon the unsuspecting public, and in time they became the most requested books in the publisher's oeuvre.
The premise of My Mother Taught Me, which appeared in 1967, is absurd, even farcical—and in its outlandishness, it seems designed to effect what Gilbert called "an enjoyment rather than a momentary excitement." But what kind of enjoyment? Our hero is Lars, a naive Swedish schoolboy who was raised in an all-male orphanage. The place was so strict, so straitlaced, that Lars in his nonage had never so much as laid eyes on a woman—not even a photograph of a woman. Read More »
