The 2013/14 cruise-ship season got off to a hiss and a roar in Napier yesterday - which is all the 1950 passengers of the Sea Princess were able to experience during their visit to the Art Deco capital of the world. The hissing and roaring of a strong northwesterly wind which in the end proved too strong for the pilots to consider trying to ease the 77,500-tonne liner into the port just after 11.30am.
"For safety reasons we have standing orders and the wind was just too much," Napier Port operations manager Chris Bain said. "It was the pilot's decision - they assess it as they see it."
The sea was whipped into whitecaps by the wind which at the time was averaging 56km/h, with some gusts reaching 74km/h.
MetService meteorologist John Law said Hawke's Bay could expect gusty winds until this morning before the northwesterly front moved through.
"It is going to be quite blustery in the morning but it will get better and brighter as the day goes on," Mr Law said.
A peak wind gust of about 80km/h was recorded at Hawke's Bay Airport yesterday.
A warning was in force for severe gale northwesterlies in Hawke's Bay from late afternoon yesterday through to this morning. Mr Bain said turning the big ship side-on to the wind for the entry to the port would have been too tricky because it would have acted like a giant windsail.
The liner stood off for about 20 minutes before the decision was made, then turned and made for Wellington.
"Very disappointed," was Napier i-Site centre manager Jane Libby's response to the cancellation.
"But you can't do anything about the weather and it is a safety issue."
The ship had been originally scheduled to arrive in Napier on Sunday but had been delayed by a day after not being able to enter the Port of Tauranga on Saturday - which was also because of high winds.
"So after that, the operators were all ready and lots of people were revved up."
Many passengers had booked tours with operators for sightseeing, to wineries and Cape Kidnappers.
Mrs Libby said many would also have been specifically looking forward to getting to Napier, having heard about its Art Deco landscape.
"Hopefully they can come back one day," she said.
The next cruise liner, the Sun Princess, is scheduled to arrive on October 22.
Fifty-eight cruise ships, now reduced to 57, are scheduled to call at Napier this season.
Yesterday a high of 24C was recorded in Hastings yesterday, while Napier reached 22C.
Mr Law said rain would arrive today during the early morning, with the heavier falls in the ranges, while coastal areas would get scattered downpours.
Meanwhile at about 5.30pm yesterday high winds caused a fallen tree to block one lane on Longlands Road, Hastings. Police and a JB Bostock crew were called to clear the road of debris.

Pick up a copy of this Sundayĺs print edition of The Mercury for Paradeĺs Summer Reading issue featuring an interview with writer Stephen King.
King talked to PARADE about his new book ôJoyland,ö his favorite entertainment, and why he doesnĺt watch the TV series ôMad Men.ö
King, 65, continues to write accessible stories at a remarkable rate. Joyland, a paperback original, is due in stores June 4 and has already been optioned for the big screen. A series based on his 2009 novel ôUnder the Domeö will air on CBS later this summer, and his musical-theater collaboration with John Mellencamp, ôGhost Brothers of Darkland County,ö begins a tour of American cities this fall.
A few highlights from the interview in Sundayĺs Parade:
On the fact that Joyland, his new book, isnĺt a horror novel: ôIĺve been typed as a horror writer ů but I never saw myself that way. I just saw myself as a novelist. With ĹJoyland,ĺ I wanted to try my hand at the whodunit format.ö
On his daily writing regimen: ôI wrote 1,500 words this morning. Five pages a day, thatĺs usually what I get through.ö
On why he and his two novelist sons show their work to his wife, Tabitha: ôSheĺll say, ĹHere, youĺve done this before. This sucks. This is dumb.ĺ Thereĺs no soft landing with Tabby, and thatĺs fine. both dedicated their first novels to her, so it means a lot.ö
On the current TV shows he enjoys: ôĹJustified,ĺĹBates Motel,ĺĹThe Walking Dead.ĺ The best show of the year is ĹThe Americans.ĺ I donĺt watch ĹMad Men.ĺ I think itĺs basically soap opera, and if I want soap opera, I watch ĹRevenge.ĺ That show is crazy, but they have great clothes.ö
On whether he thinks heĺll be popular beyond his lifetime: ôWell, you really canĺt worry about it. ů Fantasy has a better chance of lasting than a lot of other things. ĹThe Hobbitĺ and the Narnia books ů because theyĺre set in a fantasy world, they can remain relevant. So maybe things like ĹSalemĺs Lotĺ and ĹThe Shiningĺ might last, the Dark Tower books. ů The idea of posterity for a writer is poison. ů You do the best you can.ö
On his main reason to keep writing: ôThe major job is still to entertain people. ĹJoylandĺ really took off for me when the old guy who owns the place says, ĹNever forget, we sell fun.ĺ Thatĺs what weĺre supposed to do Ś writers, filmmakers, all of us. Thatĺs why they let us stay in the playground.ö

They had a network of tunnels, so bombing and artillery was almost worthless. The only way to win against the Japanese was to go from inch to inch with Flame Throwers, and clear it that way. That would've taken years, and cost millions more lives.
The U.S. wouldn't risk letting North Korea ever return to that mind set and rhetoric if they have a real and legitimate chance to extinguish it.
Sorry, but if you start a war, and lose it, you don't get to make stipulations for surrender...
Guaranteed, without the bombings, the cost of life on both sides would've been far more catastrophic.
And yes, I think Japan would have surrendered without the bombs, the negotiations would have been a much better way of doing things, dropping the bombs was an important cause of the Cold War.
On the topic of the bombs dropped, it was a show of power by the US. We had already decimated cities (with more Japanese casualties) without wasting a single US life, so it's not like the bomb offered some alternative we didn't have before.
And on the subject of NK's madman of a ruler - I hope he's swiftly assassinated, and that political system completely overthrown so the people he rules over can actually have a choice as to the actions of their country (or at least the illusion of choice).
A permanent stain on the US's history that wont go away. Needless and cruel war crime.
Not about to argue with people on this matter either, its been done to death and back again.
Their soldiers, not so much. Remember, back in the 1900's it was still a very traditional Japan. Bringing shame on the family was a disgrace, so many went off to war, hoping to die, for honour. When the word came back that they had surrendered, many more continued to fight.
The bombing was needed to give good reason to those that did surrender, to put down their weapons. If the bombs never dropped, I'm sure tens of thousands more, would've kept fighting!
To be honest, i think the US is tired of caring what the world thinks, Just reading MMO forums, its pretty much been beaten to death that everyone hates us. I personally have done nothing to anyone. But i'm hated, and stopped giving two fucks about it, and stopped trying to defend myself and country to idiots.
The one problem that the United States suffers from is their chest thumping. This over-the-top constant screaming about what a great nation you are. I'm not starting an argument, just saying, from what I have seen and heard, the world is just sick of the attitude the U.S. has, not its past.

"…and frankly, I am shopping from this desk not at the mall…"
Since you are doing all your shopping from your desk, as are a growing number, how soon will it be before the "brick and mortar" crowd prevails on the politicians in the Federal Government to, yet again, violate the US Constitution by taxing your out-of-state purchases? As we have seen with Chief Justice Roberts on the issue of universal health care, they can twist their rulings into an unrecognizable pretzel to come up with whatever ruling satisfies those with the most influence, Constitution be dimned (insert an "a" for the "i" to avoid Yahoo's ridiculous concept of profanity).
Per Section 9 of the US Constitution: "…No Tax or Duty shall be laid on Articles exported from any State. …"
This issue always seems to come up during the "Holidays", which more and more are nothing but a massive spending binge having little to do with the holiday itself. Internet purchases are causing the "brick and mortar" crowd considerable grief.
There certainly are a number of State Governors who are chomping at the bit to increase the take from increased Sales Taxes, again, Constitution be dimned, with apparent support from many mass media sources dependent on the "brick and mortar" crowd's advertizing.
Another flaw in their argument, owing to the bleary-eyed lust for the grist of their power, is that "cross-border" sales are likely a wash and that the people benefit by having more disposable funds to spend at home as a result.
Then there's the danged nightmare of tracking out-of-state sales taxes and filling out all the sales tax forms. We do that for one state already and have no desire at all to become monthly form submitters for 49 others.
Moreover, a close examination of sales tax laws will reveal that it isn't something incumbent on the purchaser to pay; that would be a purchase tax instead. Sales taxes are levied on the privilege of selling at retail within the geographic borders of the permitting authority and not outside of it. That said, no other state has an arm long enough to reach into this one and command me to collect sales taxes for them and the State of Michigan has tried. The opportunity to flick boogers in that instance was very satisfying.
You are absolutely correct, we face a constitutional conundrum and the greedy politicians, those eager to siphon yet more money away from the people, see this as yet another way to accomplish their ends.
It is only a matter of time before Chief Justice Robert's goes back to being a villain of the left where he truly belongs. Rumors from the beltway indicate he is very bored by his 'new" intellectual company post healthcare decision.

New shark character, just in time for shark week. Her name is Umbra. Not sure what the spear is for yet (aside from obvious spear uses).
she's pretty sexy even if she look pretty dangerous. I really like the pose that you have done for her.
That's cool how you drew the nose and mouth. And those eyes!
At first I tried to make it look like make-up, but I thought it might be cooler if it were just her natural face markings.
nice! i love the design
W-Wow. She's beautiful...
That's interesting! Love the face!

You should continue to work on it, but using the sounds in the project initially started in 2009, ie the original melody, kicks, and bass. All synths and other sounds around don't bring anything good to this track that had huge potential. Also, you should remove or change the voice that you added at 0.26, it doesn't fit the song at all. I give you 4 stars only because I loved the original one.
Rated 5 / 5 stars
sounds like tasty chocolate! MMmmMMmm, how i love Chocolate! I:3
All and all, an amazing piece of art! 10/10 5/5!

After upgrading to Firefox 3.6, I noticed that there no longer seems to be a way to have tabs all displayed in several rows when there are too many to fit in the window:
I find it very inconvenient to have to click on the down arrow at the far-right side to go through the list of open tabs.
The TabMixPlus add-on is incompatible with ReloadEvery 3.6.2, so that's not a good solution either.
Does someone know if it's possible to either configure FireFox 3.6 to go back to the previous way of displaying multiple tabs, or if there's an add-on that's compatible with ReloadEvery that would do the trick?
Edit: The solution if you need support for both multiple-row tabs + being able to reload one of the tabs automatically every so often, is to just use TabMixPlus, which does both and is compatible with Firefox 3.6.


text: Hello, >>> Bruce Stephens <bruce+cedet@...> seems to think that: >Just some minor points. I find it surprising that >semantic-tag-type-static isn't called semantic-tag-type-static-p (or >perhaps semantic-tag-type-staticp). That seems like a good idea (though the function is semantic-tag-static). That is also true of -leaf and -abstract. It didn't occur to me that they were boolean insofar as the default action is to return a value out of the tag structure. That value could be anything. >It seems non-trivial to determine the type of something. That's not >so surprising, since types seem hard to encode sanely. I've been >using semantic-format-tag-type, which appears to be the right thing to >use, although it's not mentioned in the appdev manual yet. That is a function used by other format routines. For example, if you pass in a tag of class type, it formats it expecting to precede an actual definition, such as a function. It is more likely that it should be part of the language dev guide, but if you think it is useful in other areas, that's fine too. >There seems to be no distinction between the C++: "class foo: public >bar" and "class foo: private bar". (That's unlikely to be critical >for anything; I just thought I'd mention it.) I'm not too sure. Klaus Berndl has been updating the C++ parser lately. That sort of information is certainly important for smart completion since it specifies which part of the parent class you have access too in any given method. The routine that does that in semantic-analyze isn't implemented yet though. :( > Similarly, maybe it >would be useful (especially in C++) for the members attribute to be >split in some coherent way so that it's easy to see which are private, >protected and public---in that case it might be possible to unify >struct and class, at least in C++. The order of the :member entries in the originating tag must be in buffer order. This is important for the partial reparse mechanism which uses this order for restricting reparse actions to small subsets of a buffer. It would certainly be useful for tools using the tags to perform such an action. Such a routine would be useful in semantic-sort.el as a means of rearranging children in a tag with no side-effects. >What does semantic-tag-variable-default return? (i.e., what's it >supposed to mean?) A declaration, such as: int a = 1; has a default value of 1. >My project at the moment is to put useful information from >semantic-bovinate-toplevel into a PostgreSQL database. (i.e., this >isn't really the right way to do it (which would be to build an >alternative to the file backend), but it's nice and independent from >the rest of semantic, so it's easier for me.) It's slow >(unsurprisingly), but I think it's going to turn out to be fast enough >to be useful in the common case where most files don't change much. [ ... ] That sounds like a smart way to do it. Any new backend would be a wrapper. While it may be slow for typical semanticdb usage, it would be ideal for system databases which are very large, and are only ever searched. (Usually by name or name-regexp.) Postgres would probably be faster than the -file method when searching through huge collections of C or C++ headers for symbols in the global namespace. Right now this action is so slow it is disabled in the code. Good Luck Eric -- Eric Ludlam: zappo@..., eric@...

Does anyone have a good suggestion for an inexpensive front light? I used to have a watch battery rubbery one, but the rubber broke. I would need it to cast enough light to actually allow me to see the trail/rode.
Anonymous #
I got a MiNewt 600 cordless last year to replace my aging Specialized light and couldn't be happier. Panther Hollow trail in the middle of the night is lit up like daylight
Only problem is that the beam pattern is symmetrical, so you have to turn it to the side when you see someone on the trail. It's like driving around with your high beams on.
jonawebb #
Planet Bike has some good ones. I don't know what you consider cheap, but you'll spend upwards of $40 for a decent headlight. Say, the Blaze 2W is $60.
sew #
I was going to start this exact same thread today and include a tail light since mine bounced off my bike this weekend. I am looking to be seen in daylight only. (sorry for adding, hope you don't see this as a hijack).
Pierce #
How inexpensive we talking?
I'd recommend saving up for one of the cheaper NiteRider options, which will be bright
For the taillight I'd recommend:
ajbooth #
+1 on the NiteRider. I have one on my commuter, and I'm often told that it "Looks like a motorcycle light" or "It's too damn bright." Since my goal is to be seen, I like both of those statements.
It does a great job of lighting the road in front of me, and is very bright.
I have two Blackburn Flea USB rechargeable lights on the back of my bike, and they are plenty bright. I keep one charger at home, and one in my bag, and it seems I need to charge them about once a week.
that guy #
200-300 lumens should be plenty to be seen and light up the bike paths/trails.
NiteRider and Light & Motion are nice rechargeable USB-powered options. Made in the USA too.
Planet Bike has some nice ones if you want AA battery powered.
rice rocket #
I have two of these, they're $35 and put out about 500-700 lumens each (their claim of 1200 is a bit lofty). They're insanely bright for $35, especially when you have two of them. Batteries are so-so, if you want to upgrade anything, it should be that.
edmonds59 #
Over the weekend I bought a 3-pack of 200 lumen machined aluminum mini flashlights for $20 (Costco), just to keep around the house. They would definitely be bright enough to get around. Get something like that, then get a Twofish Lockblock http://www.twofish.biz/bike.html in the right size, 10 bucks+-. Strap on a pair for a dirt cheap redundant light setup, that you don't need to stress about theft either.
orionz06 #
I cannot suggest the Planet Bike lights as they are awful noisy and rickety. Their flash mode is among the best for a be seen light but damned annoying to listen to. The Niterider lights have come up in features and down in price, well worth a look.
Anonymous #
Thanks everyone.
sew – not a hijack at all, good info is worth sharing!

+1 Rice Rocket
I've got a Magicshine knockoff:
Thing is crazy bright. I've had people yell at me before about it. Lights up Panther Hollow like a stadium.
No issues for over a year with it. I use it for 5 days (about 40 min a day) and recharge it at the end of the week.
Added a spread lens to it and its gotten even better
dmtroyer #
I have a light & motion urban light that I like a lot. I tried the cheap chinese made super bright tactical flashlight route for a little over a year but it just wasn't dependable enough.
Planet Bike superflash on the back.
buffalo buffalo #
to also jump on this one–I mostly ride roads, so I'm looking for something that'll let me see the potholes on 45th and Spring Way without blinding anyone I come up behind…
I like the flashlights-and-canvas-straps option, though.
Lou M. #
I ride mostly roads I just point the light down to shine on the road.
Jack #
I have a Niterider Lumina 650 and love it. Quick recharge, four brightness levels and a good blinking mode.
pinky #
I use two lights – one Cateye HL-EL135N (this)
and one Trek something (not quite this but almost)
I point the Trek down at the street and keep it steady for seeing things. I point the Cateye up at drivers to be seen.
Edited to fix my wonky links.
Mick #
I used flahslights and large rubberbands for years. Worked fine. Excpet for no blinking, they were jsut asx good as "headlights" for a small fraction of the price.
I switched over because bike lights went LED before cheap flashlight did – and my LED headlights don't seem to last fairly well.
Anonymous #
Mick #
OOOOPS I meant my LED lights DO last well and DON'T fail (unlike my posting skillxz).
Anonymous #
@RR I have similar and like it.
@rice rocket, on those lights you picked up, did you buy a wide angle lens to change the throw of the light, or was the original lens sufficient? I just ordered one.
Lou M. #
JZ I picked up a wide angle lens. I think it helps.
@Lou M. Did you have to kludge it, at all? I read that some folks had a little trouble nesting the wide angle lens in the housing.
rice rocket #
I did as well, it works fine.
Steven #
Resurrecting this thread because I'm picky, and your brain is what I'm currently looking to pick. :-)
Please recommend a cheap headlight for being seen on roads at night. I already have a Niterider MiNewt Mini-USB headlight for seeing, which I take off my bike when I lock it up, and only attach for nontrivial night riding. This second headlight will be left on my bike's handlebars at all times, and is just for being seen (mostly). It should be:
1. Visible from front and sides.
Is there anything that meets all or most of these?
The NiteRider Mako line might be OK, but I'm concerned that the mount will let the light move on bumps (as an Amazon commenter complains), I see no info on runtime, and one site says it's not waterproof. Anyone have a Mako?
Planet Bike's Blaze lights look promising on paper, except the mount doesn't look like it'll last, and it's one of those quick-release things instead of something requiring a tool. Plus orionz06 says they're noisy and rickety.
The Cateye HL-EL135N that Pinky recommends above has a mount that looks similar to one of my first lights, a Cateye whose thin plastic mounting strap broke after a year or two. It also tended to move around on bumps. But perhaps today's mount is better?
The flashlight+mount option would require a flashlight with a decent blink mode that also throws light out to the side. Anyone make these?
gg #
I really like my Planet Bike 2W. It lasts a very long time and I ride a lot at night or early morning. I have had it for a few years and beat the crap out of it and it is still going strong.
Vannevar #
Concur on the PlanetBike Blaze 2W. I'm very pleased with it. It's nowhere near the throw-weight of the MagicShine-type CREE-emitter lights, but for a straightforward $60 light with a blinkie mode I'm happy. It's on my bike right now as my standby/backup light:
Also, at the same $60 price, this is a much brighter, USB rechargeable light that I've only heard very good things about, and I know several people riding with them. Much more timely technology than the PlanetBike 2W above:
Elmo #
I have the CatEye Nano Shot and like it quite a bit – very bright and small. Website claims 12 hours, but I'd say it's more like 8. During this time of year when only my morning commute requires a light, I charge it once a week. Huge part is that it's USB charging, which is really convenient. It's about $85, so a little out of your range, but it is really a fantastic light.
Also, Thick now sells the Cat Eye mounts as a separate product for about $5.
Steven #
Thanks. How visible are these from the sides? It looks like the beam pattern for the Blaze is fairly tight. I want something drivers can see from 90 degrees or so.
I see people complaining on the REI site that the Blaze shuts off or switches modes on bumpy pavement. Yours never does that?
I see a complaint that the Cygolite has a rubber cover for the charger slot that tends to pop off, so I'm guessing it's not going to be OK left out in the rain all the time.
Drewbacca #
The cateye light mentioned above still has junky mounts… I've had one of the "straps" break on one light; on another light, the little tab that holds the light onto the strap/band broke off. Fortunately, I was able to just pair the working strap/band with the light that still mounts. The other is just a flashlight I keep in my tool-bag now.
I like the cateyes, as a pair of them will light the way on a limestone path if you go slow enough. I usually just keep them in flashing mode. Too bad the attachment method needs to be redeveloped.
Vannevar #
Steven, re the Blaze: I've had it bump from on to off once in two years. Never had it bump off of the mount. I think it's visible probably across 135 degrees, can't say 180.
scott #
Planet Bike makes great products and they give 25% of their profits to bike advocacy every year. I have a bunch of their lights, but mostly use a Light In Motion Urban 180. Pricier, but you can actually see the road in front of you with it.
pinky #
My Cateye strap hasn't broken yet, but time will tell. I don't think it's very visible from the side, though.
Drewbacca #
@pinky, no… not side visible at all. I've been using those spoke-lights (which are now even available at Mall*Wart) for side visibility.
Swalfoort #
I think Marko may be off line for a bit after his recently injury, but he had a pretty cool (and inexpensive) set up a bit back. LED flashlight from home depot or ??? that cost a couple of bucks. Then he fashioned a strap from a piece of recycled inner tube to attach the light to the handlebars. I can't remember all the details, but it seemed to work for him, and I think his total investment was like $10, and a few minutes to pierce strategic openings in the innertube remnant. Might be best for emergency or supplemental use, but he can tell you more once he's fully engaged once again.
This looks cheap if you're looking to increase side visibility without depending only on passive reflectors.
Cateye Econom looks like it might work, too.
Vannevar #
What happened to marko? // disregard found it elsewhere. Line of duty injury, so that Others might ride safe. Kudos
Drewbacca #
see the keg-ride thread…
Benzo #
My new favorite headlight is the cygolite metro 300, it's usb rechargeable with several good preset modes (high / low / high w strobe / strobe). They have some side visibility too. Also, there is a metro 420 available for a brighter high.
My favorite rear light is a Knog Blinder. It is seatpost mount (don't even think about bag mounting it). This thing is stupid bright. Don't confuse it for the blinder one, which only has one LED, get the 4 LED version.

HOUSTON (August 2, 2014) A 2-year-old Houston-area girl has died of burns she suffered in an apartment that authorities say was serving as an unlicensed daycare facility.
Sheriff's deputies and child welfare officials from Harris County are investigating.
The child, whose name has not been released, was scalded in a bathtub Thursday evening at the apartment in east Harris County.
She was flown to a hospital where she later died.
The facility is being treated as an illegal operation because there's no record of it being registered with the state, Child Protective Services spokeswoman Gwen Carter said.
Investigators are trying to find people who worked there to determine how many children may have been in the apartment at the time, she said.

Hi all, My son loves this game - I can't tell you much else because I don't play with it... :-)
It did definitely get the "WOW factor" that I was hoping for!
Happy Shopping!
Even though this is a remake from the N64 series, it's gyroscopics are kind of clunky and online multiplayer may face restrictions. You would probably know all of the story mode quotes by now like "Do a Barrel Roll!".
Very good price and excellent service.
The game itself is so short it feels like a demo. I beat it in less than 30 minutes; hardly worth the $39.99 I paid. Plus no DLC, street pass/spot pass features (except for scores sharing), or online play (local multiplayer only). The only positive thing I can say is it looks great, but that's about it.

|"New Brighton Archeological Society" graphic novel on sale November 19
Aside from being the co-creator of âAqua Leungâ and âThe Amazing Joy Buzzards,â Mark Andrew Smith has been a frequent contributor to a number of anthologies published by Image Comics. Among those anthologies is âPopGun,â the mixtape-like compilation of veteran creators and up-and-comers. Now Smith is launching a new graphic novel borne of his âPopGunâ contribution, âThe New Brighton Archeological Society,â illustrated by Matt Weldon. The pair spoke with CBR News about the book, its characters, its influences and inspirations, and his goals for finding an audience.
âNew Brighton Archeological Societyâ centers on a group of kids whose parents are the most famous archeologists in the world. âIt's a wild and wacky story about some fearless tykes that unravel a magically wondrous yet dangerous world through their parent's archeological findings,â Weldon told CBR. âOverall, it's a very wholesome storyline. Also there's a great deal of action also so it's something that people of all ages can appreciate.â
The four children of âNew Brightonâ are those of two families that have for generations been friends and worked together, one Chinese-American and the other Irish-American. After their parents are lost on an archeological expedition, the kids discover the truth of their parentâs secret lives as adventurers, discovering hidden worlds, mystical artifacts and mythical creatures.
âThe children are thrust into a conflict that has kept two kingdoms at war for centuries over a great library of magic,â Smith explained. âStepping up to fill their parent's shoes, they immerse themselves in a world of magic and adventure. The New Brighton kids soon find themselves in a race to gather all of the books of magic before their parent's adversary, Galomar, beats them to it. The learning curve is steep, and action and hilarity ensue along the way as they struggle to find their footing.â
|Pages from "New Brighton Archeological Society"
Characters include Cooper, who Smith says is the troublemaker of the group. âHe's very boastful, and he likes to scare people and make things up,â the writer said. âWhen he tells you a story, you've got to scale it back about ten times to find the level of truth from what he's told you. Whereas Benny is the voice of reason in the group Cooper is the voice of haphazard and daringness. If there's trouble or a shortcut he'll take it despite any consequence. He's funny and very animated. He's usually the devil's advocate among the kids. He's very good at machines and fixing things. His sister is Joss, and they have a bit of a rivalry between them but they also get along well. His background is Chinese American.â
Then thereâs Benny, the âstraight manâ and voice of reason in the team. âBenny rises to challenges and he's the rock of the group, with a sense of fairness and ethics,â Smith explained. âHe's a problem solver and very patient. Benny's someone you can always depend on to keep his word. When he grows up you could imagine him being a policeman, service man or a private eye like Phil Marlow. He's got a good sense of humor as well and gets along with everyone. He's Irish American.â
The tough, sarcastic, and independent girl of the group is Joss, who Smith describes as a one-girl wrecking crew who kicks a lot of butt. âShe's pretty but she can also outrun all of the boys and put them to shame,â he remarked.
|Pages from "New Brighton Archeological Society"
Lastly thereâs Becca, smart with numbers and the most well read. âShe's a bit of a âprincessâ and the most vulnerable of the group,â Smith said. âAs the youngest of our adventurers, she scares more easily. She also has a mischievous side to her as well. Benny is her brother and he's very protective of her.â
Mark Andrew Smithâs family was the primary inspiration for âThe New Brighton Archeological Society, and he even named some of the bookâs characters after his siblings. âThey're a very important part of my life. In particular I have two younger brothers, Benjamin and Cooper (ages 8 and 9), and a lot of cousins and nieces that were the largest inspiration for my target audience,â Smith said. âWhen I travel home to visit, I get to hang out with them go to soccer games, read to them and sometimes tell them my own original bedtime stories. The characters are all modeled from the kids in my family. So it makes them very easy to write because I know what they're like down to their very mannerisms and facial expressions. Doing that was a great anchor for the world and made the writing of these characters very easy and natural for me.â
The project is also informed by the works of Norman Rockwell and Bill Waterson (âCalvin and Hobbesâ). â[They] were huge influences for the characterization and tone of the book, and I wanted to channel a lot of the things that I really enjoyed from âCalvin and Hobbesâ -- including the tone and the mood of a classic era. I set out to do a very action-packed book that's also wholesome and fun,â Smith explained. âSo in some spots the story is moody and mysterious, in others it's pulsing with manic energy. Overall, the stories are charming and fun, and that's a good mixture.â
|Pages from "New Brighton Archeological Society"
Of his artistic partner, Matt Weldon, Smith has nothing but nice things to say. âHe captures the mood of the characters, the expressions, and brings the personalities to life on the page through his artwork. He's incredible, a real gentleman, and a class act,â Smith remarked. âI'm beaming over working with him and I probably have to stop short for fear of sounding like his grandmother in my praises of his talents, strong character, and abilities.â
Smith found Weldon when the artist submitted a pin-up piece for an art contest in another of Smithâs books, âAqua Leung.â âHe usually draws in another style but he changed it up,â Smith said. âI was really impressed with this little foot style dug what he did with it.â
âI spend a good while just sitting about visualizing over Mark's scripts,â Weldon said of his initial reaction to the book, âand I still do. My mind really wanders when I read through the scripts he sends me. They really come to life for me and the best part about working with Mark is he tells me all the time that if I feel impressed to take creative liberties then just go for it.â
Asked how he approaches the artwork on âNew Brighton,â Weldon explained, âAt first I spent weeks of concept sketching and consideration on how I should approach the style and to be honest, it's still evolving. I'm finishing up the last 30 pages on the first volume and they're worlds apart from the first couple dozen pages I produced for this storyline.â
|Pages from "New Brighton Archeological Society"
âNew Brightonâ began as vignettes in the Image anthology âPopGun,â but the longer form of an original graphic novel was always in mind as Smith and Weldonâs eventual goal. âThe stories we did for âPopGunâ were a great way to warm up and us to get comfortable and settled in with the world and the characters,â Weldon said. The âPopGunâ shorts will be online soon for people to enjoy if they missed them and included as part of the graphic novel as well.â
Smith and Weldon have a broad audience in mind for âThe New Brighton Archeological Society.â [The project] is an olive branch book in every sense of the word,â said Smith. âYou can give it to anyone and I think that there's something they'll enjoy and take away from reading it. I wanted to create something that I felt comfortable handing it to anyone. My parents always want to hand off some books to the neighbor kids so I wanted to have something on hand for them to do that. I wanted to make something that my grandfather would be proud of and that I could hand to him that he'd get that wouldn't be quite like my other work. Itâs written with a wide audience in mind. If you have children and you want them to get into comics you can buy this for them and not be worried about the content. Women and teenage girls will also enjoy it -- there are a lot of great characters for the female audience. It's also a book that librarians, bookstore owners and teachers can get excited about.
âOften times you'll hear the cry that we need more comics for kids to read. We're the ones that actually did something about that and threw our hats into the ring. We hope the book draws in new readers.â
Will there be further adventures of the New Brighton Archeological Society, sales willing? âOriginally, the idea was to create a comic book kid's chapter book series,â Smith revealed. âSo by that logic, there should be many more adventures. It depends on how âNew Brightonâ is received. Ff the reception is positive then we'll hammer out as many original graphic novels as we can. There are more planned, it's a matter of when, and how to proceed when we have more information.â
âNew Brighton Archeological Societyâ hits the stands November 19 from Image Comics.

Thanks in advance if anyone figures this out ....
I would like the past 31 days of posts to be displayed on my main page. I have this set in the options reading tab in wordpress. However, my page is still showing entries dating back to 2002 that i've entered. If I request 10 days of posts to be displayed it shows entries to 2004 and if I request 1 day, it shows entries from April 24th. does anyone know what is wrong here? i have been manipulating my theme (removed time from the post) but even when i put it back in, nothing seems to change.
*please* let me know what's wrong or how i can get around this.
see http://www.cromulent.org for what i'm talking about.

In magnetic film memories incorporating a metal ground plate, the write noise, i.e., the sense-line voltage caused by application of the bit-current pulse, has a long "tail." By an analysis of pulse propagation along a conductor with rectangular cross section above a stratified ground plate, it is shown that 1) the slow decay of the write noise is due to current diffusion into the ground plate, and 2) the time derivative of the write noise, which should be as small as possible for best rejection by the sense system, can be considerably reduced by a) an appropriate stratification of the ground plate, and b) keeping the ground plate at a low temperature. The most effective stratified ground plate consists of a top layer of copper separated from the substrate by a layer of a ferromagnetic conductor such as Permalloy. The relative permeability of the Permalloy layer μrneed not be greater than 100. If , a Permalloy thickness of ≳ 1.5 microns makes the electrical properties of the ground plate independent of the substrate material. The optimum thickness of the copper layer is a function of the time interval between the end of the bit pulse and readout. A thick copper ground plate at liquid-nitrogen temperature is almost as effective in reducing the noise-voltage slope as the best stratified ground plate at room temperature.

Sarah Palin Must Be Protected From Tomatoes for the Rest of Her Life
How one Costco saved Palin from certain doom.
After one guy inaccurately tossed a couple of tomatoes at Sarah Palin during a book signing in Minnesota, management at a Utah Costco decided that they weren't going to let a stunt like that happen on their watch. So when Palin came to the bulk-goods warehouse to sign Going Rogue, they removed all the tomatoes from their shelves for hours because that is the only thing in a Costco that could be thrown at someone.

So to recap: The Jazz are slow on the back line, don't complete defensive possessions and still foul far too often. They're nowhere near the worst defensive team in the league, but their work on that end is suspect enough — even relative to the Rockets, who are shaky defensively in their own way — that it could wind up costing the Jazz a postseason berth.

Released: Apr 01st, 1991
Running Time: 98
Director: Hal Roth
Company: Filmco
Cast: Dallas Edwards, Thomas Davis, Miguel Colone, Angel del Rio, Eddie Valens, Chevy Cruz, Rod Garreto, Vladimir Correa
Critical Rating: AA 1/2
Genre: Gay and Bi
Black Salsa is the name of a restaurant/bar owned by Vladimir Correa; his employees spend all of their time playing sexual games or, in one case, verbally and sexually abusing the newest arrival. The stripper (Reynolds) turns on an audience of military men, then satisfies two of them in a back alley. The "plot" comes to a grinding halt with Correa's seduction of his bartender (Garetto). Aside from the verbal abuse, which approaches the offensive, nothing in this video is really bad; unfortunately, neither is any of the five scenes really good. But the cast is a solid ethnic mix, and the technical quality is definitely above standard.

Tip of the Day
Olympique Marseille will attempt to make history when it travels to Manchester United in the Champions League's round of 16 on Tuesday night.
United has never lost a European game at home to a French team in 11 previous matches and, following a goalless draw in the first match of the two-leg tie in Marseille, oddsmakers have the Premier League team as heavy favorite to extend that sequence here.
United is odds on at 6/17 with Bwin to progress to the quarterfinals for a fifth straight year, while Marseille is an 11/4 underdog to advance.
Marseille last travelled to Old Trafford in September 1999 when United recorded a 2-1 victory. Paul Scholes got the winner back then—one of 24 goals in 118 Champions League appearances for the midfielder. Now 36 years old, Scholes is likely to return to the starting lineup for this game, in which he is 5/1 to score at any time.
United is unbeaten at home this season, having prevailed in 18 of its 21 matches in all competitions, and is available at 1/2 to secure a 19th home win. The club is also undefeated in the Champions League so far, but just one of its seven games has been decided by more than one goal, so backing United to win 1-0 at 11/2 with Blue Square and 888sport is advised.
Elsewhere, Bayern Munich defends a one-goal lead at home to Italy's Inter Milan on Tuesday. A last-minute goal by Mario Gomez in San Siro a fortnight ago means the Germans holds the edge here and can be backed at 2/9 to advance to the quarterfinals.

There are plenty of calculators that tell you how much starter to make for a specific amount of starting yeast and for a specific gravity of the wort. On packages/vials of yeast it tells you the estimate of how many yeast cells there are in there, however when you harvest your own yeast how are you to know how many yeast cells you have? How do you know how much starter to make if you don't know how many yeast cells you are starting with?
The "scientific" way would be to use a microscope and hemacytometer to count cells. The empirical method is what I use and has worked well for me for several hundred batches. You make a guess! I use between 1/3-1/2 of a previous slurry if I'm going to direct pitch the slurry. I use between 2 TBSP. -1/4 cup if I'm going to make a new starter from slurry.

A pub, a place of pilgrimage and a greengrocers, M O'Shea wears its multitasking hat with pride
Tucked away in the midland town of Borris, County Carlow, M O'Shea has held fast to its roots as a multitasking pub. And that's no mean feat. The building it occupies has operated as a grocer and a bar since the 19th century.
The O'Shea family bought the pub in 1934 with its purchaser, Michael O'Shea, earning the no-fuss nickname of "Bossman". We're guessing patrons knew where they stood.
When O'Shea and his wife passed away in the 1980s, their son Jim and his wife Carmel took over the grocer-pub. Today, they keep it in the tradition that has earned it so many loyal local patrons. There are no gimmicks here: this is a true rural, family-run pub and chances are you'll be the only tourist.
Come for the atmosphere, stay for a pint and leave with your shopping.
Not bad for a bar.

My name is Mrs. Meridith Head and I am thrilled to be the SEARCH Teacher at both Hutchison Farm and Arcola Elementary Schools! I received my degree in Elementary Education at Rider University in New Jersey and have taught in a variety of settings for over 21 years. I earned my endorsement in Gifted Education from James Madison University. It has been my great pleasure to teach first, third, and fifth grades throughout my career. I am excited for the challenge of teaching SEARCH classes for our school and providing resources and materials to our staff to support and motivate our gifted learners.
In my spare time, I like to read, cook, and travel to interesting places. I also like to spend time with my husband Tom and two children, Ethan and Laura.
I am looking forward to spending a lot of valuable time with my new students, helping them to reach for their true potential as learners. It will be fun to explore new ideas and continue to be a part of the great learning teams at both Hutchison Farm and Arcola!

AR Helmet Startup Skully Has Crashed and Burned (techcrunch.com) 42
Linux Kernel 4.7 Officially Released (iu.edu) 60
Slashdot reader prisoninmate quotes a report from Softpedia: The biggest new features of Linux kernel 4.7 are support for the recently announced Radeon RX 480 GPUs (Graphic Processing Units) from AMD, which, of course, has been implemented directly into the AMDGPU video driver, a brand-new security module, called LoadPin, that makes sure the modules loaded by the kernel all originate from the same file system, and support for generating virtual USB Device Controllers in USB/IP. Furthermore, Linux kernel 4.7 is the first one to ensure the production-ready status of the sync_file fencing mechanism used in the Android mobile operating system, allow Berkeley Packet Filter (BPF) programs to attach to tracepoints, as well as to introduce the long-anticipated "schedutil" frequency governor to the cpufreq dynamic frequency scaling subsystem, which promises to be faster and more accurate than existing ones.
Linus's announcement includes the shortlog, calling this release "fairly calm," though "There's a couple of network drivers that got a bit more loving."
SoftBank To Buy British Chip Designer ARM For $32 Billion (cnet.com) 153
ARM assumes the tentpole position in chips for mobile devices. It was one of the first companies to aggressively focus on mobile devices while other semiconductor companies were ramping up their efforts on desktops. SoftBank, which is based in Tokyo has become one of the most acquisitive companies in the recent years. It heavily invests in technology, media, and telecommunications companies. ARM could provide an additional boost to SoftBank's mobile strategy. SoftBank, for instance, also owns about 83 percent of the American wireless operator Sprint.
Hermann Hauser, one of ARM's founders, said, "ARM is the proudest achievement of my life. The proposed sale to SoftBank is a sad day for me and for technology in Britain." BBC's Rory Cellan-Jones asked, "Question -- if ARM goes, what's left as a worldbeating UK-owned tech player?"
Google, Tesla, and Facebook Attract 'Hordes of Tech Tourists' To Their Headquarters (siliconvalley.com) 80
"Hundreds of people a day visit the Facebook sign and Google's Android sculpture garden in Mountain View," reports the Bay Area Newsgroup, "with many stopping at other tech giants as well, snapping photos and shooting video..." In fact, Tesla, Apple, Facebook, and Google have all now installed stores where tourists can purchase branded merchandise. (Google sells figurines of their Android mascot for $15). "What you're seeing are people on a pilgrimage..." said Stanford communications professor Fred Turner. "Folks are looking for a physical place behind the kind of dematerialized experience that they have online."
Intel has its own museum, and the Los Altos garage where Steve Jobs started Apple has even been designated a historic site. Are there any other historic tech sites that should be preserved to inspire future generations of tourists?
How (And Why) FreeDOS Keeps DOS Alive (computerworld.com.au) 211
By day, Hall is the CIO for a county in Minnesota, and he's also a member of the board of directors for GNOME (and contributes to other open source projects) -- but he still remembers using DOS's built-in BASIC system to write simple computer programs. "Many of us older computer nerds probably used DOS very early, on our first home computer..." he tells ComputerWorld. Even without John Romero's new Doom level, "The popularity of DOS games and DOS shareware applications probably contributes in a big way to FreeDOS's continued success." I'd be curious how many Slashdot readers have some fond memories about downloading DOS shareware applications.

'Linux vs Windows' Challenge: Phoronix Tests Popular Games (phoronix.com) 141
Xonotic v0.8 outperformed Windows with a NVIDIA card, but "The poor Xonotic performance on Linux with the Intel driver was one of the biggest surprises from yesterday's article. It's not anything we've seen with the other drivers." And while testing on the Source 2 engine revealed that Valve's Dota 2 "is a quality Linux port," most of the other results were disappointing -- regardless of the graphics card and driver. "Tomb Raider on Linux performs much worse than the Windows build regardless of your driver/graphics card... Shadow of Mordor's relative Linux performance is more decent than many other Linux games albeit still isn't running at the same speeds as the Windows games..."
The article concludes with a note of optimism. "Hopefully in due time with the next generation of games making use of Vulkan...we'll see better performance relative to Windows." Have Slashdot readers seen any performance issues while playing games on Linux?
China Builds World's Fastest Supercomputer Without U.S. Chips (computerworld.com) 247
Is the 'Secret' Chip In Intel CPUs Really That Dangerous? (networkworld.com) 245
Blogger Andy Patrizio, after talking with an Intel spokesperson, says the developer's argument has holes and he doesn't think Zammit will persuade Intel to replace the system with a free, open source option.
So, what we have is an open source crusader scaring the daylights out of people on a giant what-if scenario that even he admits couldn't happen in our lifetimes.
An Intel spokesperson told the publication: While the Intel Management Engine is proprietary and Intel does not share the source code, it is very secure. Intel has a defined set of policies and procedures, managed by a dedicated team, to actively monitor and respond to vulnerabilities identified in released products. In the case of the Intel Management Engine, there are mechanisms in place to address vulnerabilities should the need arise.

AN) end Apart from that, your point that it would still work is correct, but the low level implementation in BEAM also caches the last looked up module name, so that you don't have to do the full atom -> module mapping each time you get to the same call point. Our original use case was pluggable implementations of various things in the middle of passes in the HiPE compiler, so performance was definitely an issue. /Richard

This did exactly what I needed in a simple and elegant way. I like to have a "Last Updated" date on my pages so clients will know if the content is recent.
Used via a TEXT widget, no problem so far.
Does exactly what it says. Well done
Fantastic product, nice work!
Works really well :)

Hi I am trying to mash together a dynamic drop down content from Dynamic Drive with WordPress. I have the wordpress side of it working creating various tabs and content from child categories but I am struggling to make the JS side of it "Dynamic" Basically the code i currently have is
<? $var = ". $category->category_nicename."; ?>
$args=array('orderby' => 'id', 'order' => 'DESC');
$categories=get_categories('child_of=54'); foreach ($categories as $category) {
var defaultpanel=new ddpanel({
ids: ["<? echo $var; ?>panel", "<? echo $var; ?>content", "<? echo $var; ?>tab"], // id of main panel DIV, content DIV, and tab DIV
stateconfig: {initial: "0px", persiststate: true}, // initial: initial reveal amount in pixels (ie: 5px)
animate: {enabled: true, steps: 5}, //steps: number of animation steps. Int between 1-20. Smaller=faster.
pointerimage: {enabled: true, src: ["arrow-down.gif", "arrow-up.gif"]},
closepanelonclick: {enabled: true} // close panel when links or elements with CSS class="closepanel" within container is clicked on?
}) } ?>
The only bit that needs to be dynamic is the id's at the top. I am using the same $categories=getcategories... etc in the template file. I'm pretty sure this can be done but not sure exactly how to make the php work within the JS. I have renamed the .js file .php and tried the above code!
Any thoughts greatly appreciated!
