DENVER -- Mike Hampton was back at Coors Field on Wednesday night, and it definitely had a familiar feel for the left-hander.
Lance Berkman went 4-for-4 and the Houston Astros finished with 24 hits in a 15-11 victory over the Colorado Rockies on Wednesday night.
Berkman drove in two runs and scored three times for the Astros, who were one hit shy of their franchise record for a nine-inning game set during the second matchup in a doubleheader against Atlanta on May 30, 1976. Geoff Blum matched his career high with five RBI.
"It was one of those old-school games around here," said Hampton, who pitched six innings to get the win against his former team. "There were a lot of runs, a lot of hits. You never know what's going to happen in this park and you've got to get as many runs as you can and fortunately we got enough."
Hampton (2-3) allowed five runs and seven hits to improve to 18-10 at Coors, the second-most wins by a left-hander in the ballpark's history. He also had two hits and scored twice.
It was the first time all nine starters have gotten at least two hits in a game in the National League since May 1, 1985, when Atlanta did it against Cincinnati.
Chris Iannetta hit his third career grand slam and drove in five for Colorado, which finished with 12 hits. Ian Stewart had a two-run drive for his third homer in two games and seventh this season.
"A swinging bat is a dangerous bat and the balls found holes," Rockies manager Clint Hurdle said.
Houston scored three runs in four of the first five innings to build a 12-3 lead. Berkman singled twice and walked against Jason Marquis to boost his career batting average against the right-hander to .511.
Miguel Tejada singled in Berkman in the third to give Houston a 4-3 lead. Hunter Pence added an RBI single and Blum drove in another run with a fielder's choice.
Blum's bases-loaded double made it 9-3 in the fourth.
"I think they must have turned off the humidor or something," Berkman said. "Maybe it was the atmospherics because that's how it used to be here. Balls were flying around or falling in everywhere."
Marquis (4-3) allowed nine runs and 10 hits in 3 2/3 innings, his shortest outing of the year.
"It felt like everything found a hole," Marquis said. "Mistakes they hit harder. It was just one of those nights."
Colorado shortstop Troy Tulowitzki left for a pinch runner in the seventh inning after being hit on his left elbow by a pitch from Alberto Arias. Team officials said Tulowitzki had a contusion and would be evaluated again on Thursday.
Tejada, Pence, and Carlos Lee each had three hits for Houston.
Houston's Ivan Rodriguez, who is one home run shy of 300, received the night off. ... Colorado RHP Ryan Speier, on the 15-day disabled list with a strained left hamstring, reported to Class A Modesto to begin a rehabilitation assignment. ... The 15 runs by Houston were a season high. ... The Astros' 24 hits were the most in the National League this season, topped only in the AL when Cleveland had 25 hits at New York on April 18. ... Colorado's Dexter Fowler stole second in the third for his 10th steal of the season and first since swiping five on April 27 against San Diego to tie a modern rookie record. ... Colorado's Jeff Francis has the most wins by a left-hander at 14-year-old Coors Field with 28. ... Tejada is hitting .478 (11-for-23) in his last six games.

gfxUnicodePropertyData.cpp:sCatEAWValues is an array of:
struct {
unsigned int mEAW:3;
unsigned int mCategory:5;
Unfortunately, this actually winds up wasting space because of structure padding inserted to maintain alignment.
Patch coming up.
Created attachment 587753 [details] [diff] [review]
pack bits manually
Instead of using a structure with bitfields, pack things manually.
Saves a little over 70K of data.
Hmm... you're right, it does end up wasting space. :( However, wouldn't a simpler patch be to declare the fields as unsigned char (with the appropriate field widths)? That would avoid the need for manually packing/unpacking the fields, which just makes the code more opaque.
Created attachment 587875 [details] [diff] [review]
change bitfield datatype
Indeed, that works just as well and produces a much smaller patch. :)

Really cool spot, I wish it was much longer....
Cheyenne F.
I've camped here twice within a few weeks of each trip. Some of the tent areas are okay but others are on a slope and with no wind protection. The area is a ton of fun for night hikes though. Five friends and I managed to hike to the edge of rainbow basin and back in just under an hour just after it got dark. I'd recommend this area for the hikes but not the camp ground.
Fabulous, 2 miles of a lit bit of Zion Nat'l. WE saw two tortoises and explored a cool cave. Going back to do two slot canyons. This is best done in the fall. Make sure you take walking sticks, alot of climbing and classv 3 caving.

Bruglarized: Rocks Off Photog's House Robbed And You Can Help Him Rebuild
Prairie Cadets
Tuesday afternoon around 5 p.m., Houstonist editor, Rocks Off photographer and Prairie Cadets lead singer Marc Brubaker came back to his Denver Harbor home to find that burglars had cracked a window and entered his home through an A/C unit opening. They ended up stealing two Mac computers (a desktop and laptop), plus a brand-new printer that was still in the box. Brubaker has been an indispensable part of the Rocks Off news team since September and October, when he braved both GWAR and an Insane Clown Posse show for us. We also had the pleasure of traveling to Austin with him in November for Fun Fun Fun Fest, where did some excellent photo work. He also shoots real-life weddings and engagement pictures, so he is a well-rounded shutterbug. He's also a very good friend of ours, even if we think the moustache he has been sporting lately looks a little creepy. The Houston community has banded together to help Brubaker rebuild his photographic empire. Brubaker says that he hadn't yet backed up to other resources his last four months of work, with us and with other outlets, which makes him ill. A Chip In account is set up in his name where you can electronically donate money to his cause. The same thing was done back last summer when the Ton Tons had a burglary of their own and lost a few guitars. So help Brubaker get back on his feet. He's a swell dude and one of the best guys to have with you in a foxhole, er, live concert.

The Labor Department is increasing its scrutiny of potentially improper or undisclosed retirement-plan fees, lawyer Fred Reish wrote recently. Fee-disclosure rules set to take effect next year likely will lead to increased scrutiny by regulators. Even broker-dealers who do not have a fiduciary duty can become "functional fiduciaries" by providing individualized advice or setting their own compensation, Reish wrote. Beyond examinations, other fee-related risks include lawsuits and negative headlines.

I'm kind of surprised this caused these failures (modulo any obvious bugs I'm missing); if anything, I'd expect bug 715308 to have caused them. But let's leave this out for a while and see if there are more test failures.
The failures did show up in a couple of changesets without this patch, so it looks like this can re-land once the tree is open again. I filed bug 721917 for the test failures. Sorry for the trouble!

Labour could be out of power for more than a decade if the party "gets it wrong" in the run-up to the general election, Charles Clarke, the former home secretary, has warned.
Mr Clarke, MP for Norwich South, said Labour had "wasted much of the first half of this parliament" on internal party squabbles and remained "very unclear" about what it had to offer voters at the next election. Predicting an election in May 2010, he insisted defeat at the hands of David Cameron's Conservatives was not inevitable, but said Gordon Brown should not delay in showing a clear sense of purpose and direction on issues such as the environment, public sector reform and Europe.
"We must all understand that rhetoric about past Conservative failures and past Labour success will not disguise a failure to face the future," he said. "It seems to me that Labour still remains very unclear about our approach, both in this parliament and the next," Mr Clarke said in an article for Progress magazine.
"Now, above all, we need clarity in each policy area. The current uncertainties are widespread and give ammunition to our opponents." He said the "uncertainty'" surrounding the comparative merits of the diploma, A-level or the international baccalaureate at 18, was "potentially debilitating".
Mr Clarke, who has been tipped for a return to front-line politics, said on BBC radio that the Home Secretary, Jacqui Smith, was wrong to bow to pressure to reject the police arbitration award of 2.5 per cent, and reduce their pay rise to 1.9 per cent. "The fact that there was different treatment for the police and the teachers was a misjudgement," he said.

To embed, copy and paste the code into your website or blog:
In some jurisdictions, such as Michigan, an employer may be able to shorten the statute of limitations for an employee to file an employment discrimination lawsuit. Shortened limitations periods are sometimes included in employment applications, employment agreements, and\or employee handbooks provided to employees. For example, although an employee may normally have three years to file a sexual harassment lawsuit under applicable state law, an employer may attempt to shorten that period to less than three years by substituting a six-month limitations period. If an employee fails to file a lawsuit within the shorter limitations period, the lawsuit may be barred as untimely. Assuming a reduced limitations period is generally permissible in your jurisdiction, it may not, according to a recent federal appellate court decision, serve to bar all employment-related claims filed outside the shortened limitations period.
The Sixth Circuit Court of Appeals recently held in Boaz v. FedEx Customer Info. Services, Inc. that a shortened six-month limitations period did not bar claims arising under the FLSA or the Equal Pay Act (EPA), which was enacted as an amendment to the FLSA. In the case, the employee filed a lawsuit claiming she was she denied overtime compensation in violation of the FLSA and was paid less than her male predecessor, who performed the same duties. However, she failed to file her lawsuit within the six-month limitations period set forth in her employment agreement, which provided: "To the extent the law allows an employee to bring legal action against [the company], I agree to bring that complaint within the time prescribed by law or 6 months from the date of the event forming the basis for my lawsuit, whichever expires first."
Under the FLSA, an employee generally has two years (or three years for willful violations of the FLSA) to file a claim. Also, unlike with most other employment claims, courts have generally concluded that employees may not waive claims arising under the FLSA without the prior approval of the U.S. Department of Labor or the court. The question in the Boaz case was whether the shortened six-month limitations period operated as a waiver of the employee's rights under the FLSA. The Sixth Circuit held that the reduced limitations period indeed operated an impermissible waiver of the employee's FLSA claim and was, therefore, invalid. The Court concluded that the same rationale applied to the employee's EPA claim which likewise could not be waived.
This recent decision reminds employers that they should be aware that otherwise enforceable shortened limitations periods — where a state allows such limitations shortening — may not serve to bar all claims, particularly those arising under the FLSA or EPA. The waiver or settlement of FLSA or EPA claims requires U.S. Department of Labor or Court approval.

1973 Holden HQ GTS/4 350 Rebuilt - (Customised Replica)
Purchase a white HQ sedan with a 350 chev, T350 and 3.55 diff of a young fella, who did not appreciate the car for what it was. So my brother and I rebuilt the HQ from the ground up and during the complete rebuild there was some strange factory 'oddities', if you may call it. From the 350 Chev block casted 6 months prior to the build of the HQ in Australia (Melbourne), with what it appears to be a munice hump welded in from factory, Underbody shows no wear of smaller gearbox fitted in its life time, Tyre Placcard states GTS rims and many other original features. Before the rebuild tried desperately to get some knowledge on this very build and the so call experts ignored it or laughed it off. I have my suspicions to be what she originally once was, but if you watched this and can shed some light on the HQ, please do. Also I know what all the tags mean, I can read them like a book. In this matter its irrelevent, as I believe the tags were to suit the new owner who did not want to pay the insurance it attracted at the time.

There should be no discretion. Use a cell phone, get a ticket. Seems pretty clear and fair to me, and I'm one of those people who *do* use a cell right now - but won't as of the end of the month.
And it's not like a $20 ticket is particularly onerous, not when a simple parking ticket is $50.

Why not? They've contracted out everything else.
Stepping into a potential political minefield, Blackwater USA is offering itself up as an army for hire to police the world's trouble spots.
Cofer Black, vice chairman of the Moyock, N.C.-based private military company, told an international conference in Amman, Jordan, this week that Blackwater stands ready to help keep or restore the peace anywhere it is needed.
Taylor and Black said the company would undertake such a mission only with the approval of the U.S. government.
William F. Buckley, Jr., is a powerful thinker. He has always been a powerful and persuasive writer. Somewhere around here, I still have a copy of God and Man at Yale.
He's thinking about George W. Bush:
William F. Buckley Jr., the longtime conservative writer and leader, said George W. Bush's presidency will be judged entirely by the outcome of a war in Iraq that is now a failure.
"Mr. Bush is in the hands of a fortune that will be unremitting on the point of Iraq," Buckley said in an interview that will air on Bloomberg Television this weekend. "If he'd invented the Bill of Rights it wouldn't get him out of his jam."
Buckley said he doesn't have a formula for getting out of Iraq, though he said "it's important that we acknowledge in the inner councils of state that it (the war) has failed, so that we should look for opportunities to cope with that failure."
Conservatives are deserting the current Federal Administration, for it is not conservative, it is radical.
I'm Jr. My son's the III.
(ring, ring)
Me: Hello.
Caller: Frank?
Me: Speaking.
Caller: (Comment that would mean nothing to anyone but my son.)
Me: [Stating that that doesn't apply to me] Which Frank are you looking for?
Caller: [Confused] Junior?
Me: Speaking.
Caller: [Silence]
At that point I usually have mercy on them.
I mentioned earlier that my division has been spun off.
Since the sale, we have still been in the old place. I've been going to work along the same route I've followed for almost eight years, sitting at the same desk, logging into the same domain, doing the same job, answering the same phone. All that has changed is the company name I cite when answering the phone.
We are moving this weekend. Come Monday, I will be doing the same job, but in a different location. No doubt, that's when the change will really sink in.
Today was weird. I work in Support. Support does not close. Everyone else was at the new building unpacking stuff, but support was still answering the phone at the old place.
At the end, there was just Dave and me manning the phones. We had one computer between us to do computer stuff, four empty cubicles, and lots of dust bunnies that somehow turned up during packing. It was like working in a ghost town, and we were the ghosts.
Monday, we will be answering the phones with the same words. In my case (we get to pick our own greetings), it's "[Company Name], Frank Bell, how may I help you?" But now it will be in a new place. Assuming we get everything working over the weekend.
It's been a good run at my previous employer–it was a nice place to work, full of some of the most laid-back, friendliest persons one might hope to find in a workplace.
I will still be surrounded by laid-back, friendly persons, but there will be a lot fewer of them–from being a small part of a company of 10,000 or so persons, we have become a small company of 24 persons.
has gone right into the crapper:
Ann Garcia had to thread the needle. On the one hand, the No. 1 executive at her former company hated the use of profanity, seeing it as a sign of not having learned to communicate effectively. On the other hand, the No. 2 executive appreciated a potty mouth now and then because it indicated passion. He "felt that if you weren't swearing, you probably didn't care enough," Garcia says.
I enjoy a good swearing match as much as the next person. But, frankly, I'm tired of hearing George Carlin's seven words, and their cousins, nephews, and nieces, in the restaurant, the coffee shop, the workplace, and the schoolyard.
Save them for where they were meant to be: the locker room.
I guess I'm old. I remember when a bra was an undergarment, not a fashion statement.
So much for Republicans running the government like a well-run business. It's more like Adelphia:
The nation's chief tax collector said Wednesday that using private agencies to collect debts under a new program will cost more than hiring additional agents to do the job.
But IRS Commissioner Mark Everson also said it's a necessary part of Washington's budget battles.
Everson disagreed that the program wastes taxpayer dollars. It's necessary to use the private companies, he said, because hiring more IRS employees shows up on the federal budget as an expenditure. The budget doesn't acknowledge the extra money that additional employees might collect.

It doesn't come much blunter than this:
I've argued this on Bill O'Reilly and other Fox News shows. I ask, who would you want to pay to be a torturer? Do you want someone that the American public pays to torture? He's an employee of yours. It's worse than ridiculous. It's criminal; it's utterly criminal. This administration has been masters of diverting attention away from real issues and debating the silly. Debating what constitutes torture: Mistreatment of helpless people in your power is torture, period. And (I'm saying this as) a man who has been involved in the most pointed of our activities. I know it, and all of my mates know it. You don't do it. It's an act of cowardice. I hear apologists for torture say, "Well, they do it to us." Which is a ludicrous argument. … The Saddam Husseins of the world are not our teachers. Christ almighty, we wrote a Constitution saying what's legal and what we believed in. Now we're going to throw it away.
The current Federal Administration has to go. It violates the history, spirit, and ideals of this Great Experiment in self-rule and betrays the blood of the Founders, while hypocritically wrapping itself in the Flag and the Bible.
It is beneath contempt.
With a tip to Huffington Post.
With a tip of the hat to Phillybits.
Take a look at this article:
And answer the question:
Are you ready for a new American Civil War?
Then take a look at this picture:
And ask yourself the same question again:
Are you ready for a new American Civil War?
Are you ready to quit your job, join a National Guard unit and clear out illegals?
Are you ready for urban warfare?
Are you ready for internal borders and checkpoints?
Unless the answer is 'yes' to all of the above, I suggest it is time for conservatives to stop giving the President a hard time for his desire to take a moderate course regarding illegal immigration and curing it.
This is not to say that I unequivocably agree with Mr. Bush's proposals or with just about anything on Redstate.org. In fact, I unequivocably am up in the air over this issue.
There are some things about which I am not up in the air:
The source of immigrants that seems to cause the most upset is Mexico. Persons fulminate that, because the southwestern border is so porous, it may allow for entry of (there's that word!) terrorists. Yet, none of the 9/11 attackers came through the land borders of the United States.
But our government (and by this I do not mean the Bush administration so much as the Federal Law Enforcement Bureaucracy) has already demonstrated that it cannot spot a terrorist when one is handed to it on a plate.
But who are the proposed laws looking to penalize? Not terrorists, but the overwhelmingly South and Central American population of immigrants.
Furthermore, the proposal to make criminals of those who would feed the hungry, clothe the naked, or heal the sick are, frankly, disgusting. Especially since they are proposed by many of the same persons who in other forums parade their religiosity.
I find the xenophobic hysteria that seems to be sweeping certain quarters of our society, including our elected representatives incongrously assembled, extremely troubling. To this Southern boy who grew up under Jim Crow, many of the proposals smack more of racism than of rationality.
Perhaps the best course of action would be to take the advice of the National Rifle Association as regards gun control: Let's try enforcing the laws we have.
Coincidently, as I write this, Daniel Schorr's commentary on All Things Considered addressed just this in his commentary tonight. Marketplace also had a provocative commentary, but the link's not up yet.
The local rag had a fascinating little story this morning.
Long before Doc Johnson:
By the late 19th century, hysteria was hitting epidemic proportions, with women complaining of paralyzed limbs, sudden inability to speak, and other bizarre symptoms magically relieved by their doctor's touch.
But some doctors complained the technique was difficult to learn. According to one biographer, Sigmund Freud tried to learn it, Maines says, but never got the hang of it.
So appliances were developed to assist the doctors in their work.
For a scholarly discussion of the topic, follow this link (and imagine how long it took me to find something scholarly!).
It seems to me that, if states wish to outlaw these appliances, they should also consider outlawing watermelons.
The surest way to stop a real discussion of issues is to start insulting people; insults stop the brain from working.
I find myself both amused and dismayed these days when persons, usually of a right-leaning persuasion, accuse other persons, usually of a left-leaning persuasion but not always, of being "communists." Communism is discredited and dead, dead, dead. But the insult still works–it brings reason to a halt.
Katrina Vanden Heuvel has a worthy suggestion in today's Washington Post:
Here's a modest proposal for improving national political discussion: Stop equating our opponents with famous dictators, their chief executioners, police apparatus or ideologies. I'm all for learning from history, but times are hard enough in American politics — with war, threats to national security, the greatest divide between rich and poor in our history and deep cultural divisions. Present differences deserve to be described in contemporary terms. The purpose of public speech is not just to restate anger but to clarify the principles and evidence that fuel it — in ways that invite discussion, not inhibit it. The demons are already among us — so let's muster up some new analogies
There was an earlier article on this that has reached the "you have to pay for this search" stage, but this one captures the–er–essence of the situation:
All Liberty Property Trust wanted to do was install 116 environmentally friendly waterless urinals at its new Comcast Center tower so it could compete for the title of America's tallest green building. But the answer from Philadelphia's plumbers union was, in so many words, go flush it.
The earlier story pointed out that this would not affect any jobs–the facilities still would have to piped and plumbed.
The heartland turned vicious this week when an Oklahoma town threatened to call in the FBI because its web site was hacked by Linux maker. Problem is CentOS didn't hack Tuttle's web site at all. The city's hosting provider had simply botched a web server.
This tale kicked off yesterday when Tuttle's city manager Jerry Taylor fired off an angry message to the CentOS staff. Taylor had popped onto the city's web site and found the standard Apache server configuration boilerplate that appears with a new web server installation. Taylor seemed to confuse this with a potential hack attack on the bustling town's IT infrastructure.
(Taylor emailed CentOS) "I am computer literate! I have 22 years in computer systems engineering and operation. Now, can you tell me how to remove 'your software' that you acknowledge you provided free of charge? I consider this 'hacking.'"

South Sea Kings. Samoa, in the Navi gator Islands, is the centre of great trouble at present. Instead of being ruled by one power, or by the natives themselves, the islands are governed by three powers-England, Germany, and America.

A Bií? Blast. On Saturday, Feb. 11 > there was a great ex" plosion at the Govern" nient quarry, Ardglen, four miles from Murrurundi, Ñ.S.W. A large amount of rock was required for railway ballast, and instead of digging it out, it was blasted out. The men dug a tunnel about 60 feet into the hill, and then dug another tunnel at right angles to that. In that tunnel they placed two tons of blasting powder. 7 cwt. of the new explosive amberite, and about half a ton of dynamite. W hen this had been all securely fastened in or " tamped," as they call it, an electric battery was used to set it on fire. When it exploded fche noise was not great, but the shock dislodged about 70,000 tons of rock. This will take the men five or six months to remove.
Captain Dreyfus. In France there is sore trouble at pre sent. A military officer named Drey fus, a Jew, and a relative of the great Rothchilds, was accused of selling military secrets to the Germans. He was tried by a mili tary court, found guilty, degraded from his rank, publicly expelled from the army, and sent to a foreign colony as a convict. Now it appears that he was the victim of a con spiracy, and that his accusers were military men, some of whom had been selling military secrets. The case is being re-tried, and France is in a ferment. All good people deplore the miscarriage of justice for there has been one-and the re sults may embroil France in civil war

PEACE OR WAR. HIS world of ours is in a state of unrest. Australia is a land that lies beyond the fever of the armed states, but we, from our position in the sunny Southern seas, can watch the warlike peoples. The Czar of Russia asks all the nations to meet and discuss how they can put an end to war. The armies and the navies of the nations are so large that the men who pay for them - the producers - are nearly ruined, and poverty abounds in all the great cities. The editor of the Remera of Reviews has seen and talked to the Czar on the subject, and the Press is helping on the cause of peace. The young people in Australia cannot do much to help on the good cause of universal peace, but they can do something. They can ask their fathers and mothers why the nations go to war !

'Twixt Nose and Eyes a Strange Conflict Arose. BY THOMAS COWPER. "D ET WEEN Nose and Eyes a strange contest arose, The spectacles set them unhappily wrong ; The point in dispute was, as all the world knows, To which the said spectacles ought to belong. So Tongue was the lawyer, and argued the couse With a great deal of skill, and a wig full of learning ; While Chief Baron Ear sat to balance the laws, So famed for his talent in nicely discerning. " In behalf of the Nose it will quickly appear, And your lordship," he said, "will undoubtedly find, That the Nose has had spectacles always in wear, Which amounts to possession time out of mind." Then holding the spectacles up to the court - " Your lordship observes they are made with a straddle, As wide as the ridge of the nose is ; in short, Design'd to sit close to it, just like a saddle. " Again, would your lordship a moment suppose ('Tis a case that has happen'd, and may be again) That the visage or countenance had not a Nose, Pray who...
EMPIRE BUILDERS -?-, CECIL RHODES. I. TD ET WEEN twenty and thirty years ago, the visitor to the Kimberley Diamond Fields, then in the baby stage, might have seen a tall, carelessly dressed English youth sitting on an upturned bucket, and watching a gang of Kathi's breaking and sifting the yellow stuft' in which the diamonds were hidden. He had dreamy eyes, they say, and he often read a book, or seemed lost in thought ; but for all that his glance was keen and shrewd. Litle passed that he did not see and turn over to good purpose in his restless brain. His face was tanned by the South African sun, and to the careless passer-by he seemed but an ordinary mining ganger, whose sole thoughts were occupied in pre venting the dusky laborers from pocketing gems from the "opulent dirt " they shook through their sieves. Some few who knew him, however, foretold great things of this practical dreamer of dreams. They were right. The man who sat on the bucket was Cecil Rhodes : the book he had on...

The French Republic. The President of the French Republic died suddenly last Thurs day niidit. His name was Francois Felix Faure. He was 58 years old, a Roman Catholic, and a good, simple man. His father was an upholsterer, and Felix himself began life as a poor boy, with little education. He was an apprentice to a tanner. He educated himself after he left school, a thing that very few boys have manly grit enough to do. He studied a great deal, and rose in the world. He wrote books, and became a soldier for a while, as all Frenchmen have to. During the war with Germany, in 1870, he showed himself to be brave and clever. France is England's old enemy. We have fought the French for hundreds of years. They are the near neighbours of our race at home. Sometimes we have fought along with the French, against someone else, but not often. France has been a republic since the war with Germany, and the President has to be elected. The President before M. Faure was assasinated. The new Preside...

/ESOP. NCE upon a time, a very long time ago-hundreds of years before Christ was born in Beth lehem, there lived a poor slave, named ^Esop. He used to tell' little stories, and all his stories had a meaning to them. He said that the beasts and the birds and the fishes talked to each other. He said that the trees and the flowers and the wind and the sun all talked, and he told the Greeks what they said. The stories were so simple and wonderful that they were written down, and to-day we have " .¿Esop's Fables," and they are as true to-day as when the poor slave told them, 2,500 years ago. Here is one of the stories : THE VAIN JACKDAW. A jackdaw, as vain and conceited as a jackdaw could be, picked up the feathers which some peacocks had shed, stuck them amongst his own, and, despising his old friends, tried to pass himself off as a peacock among the peacocks. They instantly detected the fraud, stripped him of his borrowed plumes, and, falling upon him with their beaks, sent him about h...

Now, anyone with a little experience in using notebooks will know that lots of heat and noise generally impacts battery life. It's no less true of the dv2. It doesn't help matters that HP has chosen to use a relatively low capacity 41 Watt-hour, four-cell battery. In the MobileMark 2007 Productivity benchmark, for instance, the dv2 only just managed to creep past two hours. In the DVD benchmark, meanwhile, where we ramp up the brightness to get worst case scenario results, playback came to an end after a mere 83 minutes.
As far as we're concerned this is fundamental failing for the dv2. At a bare minimum an ultra-portable should be able to achieve three hours under reasonable usage conditions, but it only just passes two hours. It's a pretty poor effort, one that could've been easily avoided with the inclusion of a decent six-cell battery. Fine, it might have upset the dv2's sleek lines, but it would make it considerably more useful and, given the choice, we'd take a better battery over the bundled optical drive that in today's digital world is becoming increasingly less important.
It's a failing made all the more disappointing by the decent performance of AMD's Athlon Neo processor. It might not be a speed demon and its single-core means it's not great at multi-tasking, but in single threaded applications it's noticeably quicker than Intel's Atom and this makes for responsive and snappy performance. Moreover, as our PCMark Vantage results show, it isn't embarrassed by the Sony VAIO TT, despite it sporting a dual-core processor and an obscene price tag. Indeed, it's only in the very CPU intensive TV & Movies segment where a sizeable gap in performance opens out, with the HP being 45 per cent slower.
Another benefit the Athlon Neo can claim is HD video playback. At 720p the processor can deal with things without assistance, while the discrete graphics can be called upon to process 1080p video should the need ever arise. HP has even mooted releasing a Blu-ray drive as an optional extra, though this seems like a niche concern to us.
As does gaming, which makes us wonder why the dv2 comes lumbered with a fairly substantial graphics chip. Yes, the 512MB dedicated video memory and discrete graphics may allow you to eek out a few more frames per second, but when it's the difference between completely unplayable and just unplayable (or offensively ugly and just plain ugly) is it a benefit worth the downsides? When those downsides are poor battery life, excessive heat and excessive noise, we'd argue not.
It's this that represents the nub of our issues with the Pavilion dv2. While we love the concept and ideas that have gone into it, it just misses out where execution is concerned. Had, for example, AMD chosen to use its latest generation chipset with superior integrated graphics, or HP bundled a higher capacity battery, we'd be looking at a machine that might have run cooler, lasted longer and been a lot better for both. As things stand, though, it doesn't do enough to dissuade us from waiting to see what Intel and nVidia - in the form of its ION platform - have in store, or, for that matter, rule out more powerful and similarly priced notebooks like the Samsung Q210.
Despite outstanding design and an excellent feature set, the HP Pavilion dv2 is let down by its disappointing battery life and some poor decisions in regards to specification and bundling. There's lots of promise here and if you're happy to invest in an extra battery this is a smart and practical machine, but it's not quite the genre defining product it could have been.
i think you should add "left 4 dead" to the laptop gaming benchmarks.
Does look nice, but at this price you would be better going for the dell xps 1330.
It seems the perfect lightweight 12 inch laptop is yet to be build. The dell 12 has potential, but it will probaully be a year before they get it right, with a nice ssd, led screen and and a good chipset.
don't really get the point of this. it's not cheap like an apire one and it's way too underpowered for 𧼐. i got my 13 inch HP DV3 for 𧼚 and that's centrino 2 with a P8400 and 3GB of RAM and only an inch bigger. this just seems like the kind of netbook that Apple would make although maybe for a 𧴜 more.
I think the term you're looking for is sub-notebook? That's what they are usually classed as in publications.
@darkspark88: It seems the most logical term, but then netbooks were called "sub-notebooks", so there's grounds for confusion there. Fundamentally, all this is an ultra-portable notebook with a single-core rather than a dual-core processor. Does that make it below (sub) a notebook? I don't know. This is still a notebook form-factor after all.
"One area where the dv2 easily surpasses a netbook, however, is in its connectivity - purely for the fact it has an HDMI output"
I just bought a Dell Mini 10 and that has HDMI.
True, but the Mini 10 is the exception rather than the rule.
What about Neatbook?
And I want royalties if it takes off . . .
@ ravmania - are you happy with your hp dv3 (3***?), because i'm not, really. great performance, in my opinion, couldn't really ask for more from a lappy this size. but rather poor battery life, fingerprint magnet, glossy keyboard (who thought a glossy keyboard was a good idea?), rubbish glossy screen and pretty shoddy build quality. plus i paid a tenner more from my local store. plus the "faux chrome" scratches too easily to reveal a sickening beige unpainted plastic.
I've got a DV3507ea. Mine's the brown one and fingerprints aren't really an issue. The keyboard is a bit annoying sometimes as you can't see what the letter on the key is from some angles. Definitely a flaw but one I can live with. Glossy screens are annoying but then that's pretty much most laptops these days. At least it's an LED screen though and it looks great when watching some HD video. It is a bit delicate I must admit. I haven't scratched the chrome but there is some flex when you squeeze the machine. Overall I'm very happy with it though. For the price there wasn't another 13 incher around that compared spec wise. And the brown one does look great with the imprint finish. Just gotta be gentle with it.

Of course. Cycle Day 1. I knew it was coming, so I'm not overly sad, but it's still kind of sucky. I feel good about Cycle 3, though. Third time's the charm, right?! Hopefully I won't get crazy side effects from the upped dosage of Clomid. Currently, I am dying of cramps and very likely bleeding to death, so I am not at work. My Clomid periods have been horrible!
On a side note, I learned yesterday that the baby section at Kohl's makes me physically hurt. No more baby clothes stalking for me!

Mention had been made, in the chapter before, of the vain visions and flattering divinations with which the people of Israel suffered themselves to be imposed upon (Ezek. 12:24); now this whole chapter is levelled against them. God's faithful prophets are nowhere so sharp upon any sort of sinners as upon the false prophets, not because they were the most spiteful enemies to them, but because the put the highest affront upon God and did the greatest mischief to his people. The prophet here shows the sin and punishment, I. Of the false prophets, Ezek. 13:1-16. II. Of the false prophetesses, Ezek. 13:17-23. Both agreed to sooth men up in their sins, and, under pretence of comforting God's people, to flatter them with hopes that they should yet have peace; but the prophets shall be proved liars, their prophecies mere shams, and the expectations of the people illusions; for God will let them know that "the deceived and the deceiver are his," are both accountable to him, Job 12:16.

Brendon Boyd Urie (born April 12, 1987) is an American singer, songwriter, musician and multi-instrumentalist. He is best known as the lead vocalist of Panic! at the Disco, of which he is the sole remaining original member.
Early life
Urie was born in St. George, Utah.[1] He is the fifth and youngest child born to Grace and Boyd Urie,[2] and is of native Hawaiian descent on his mother's side. He was raised in a Mormon family,[2] but left the faith around 17.[3][4] Urie attended Palo Verde High School,[5] where he met future ex-Panic bassist Brent Wilson in his guitar class. Wilson asked Urie to try out for a band he was in, since they needed a replacement guitarist.
Urie described himself as a "spaz in high school", and explained that one student would always bully him.[6] He worked at Tropical Smoothie Cafe in order to pay his band's rent for their practice space. At the cafe, Urie often sang for customers. He explained, "I would sing anything I was listening to at the time, but I was down to take requests. I remember singing some Scorpions songs, some W.A.S.P. 80s anthems are usually good for tips. It was a huge range of stuff. Some people liked it, and some people didn't. I had to respect other people's wishes, but I had a couple people come in who would ask me to sing for a tip. That's always fun."[6]
Panic! at the Disco
Urie met Brent Wilson while taking guitar classes offered at their high school and Wilson asked Urie to try out as lead guitarist for Panic! at the Disco, as they were looking for a replacement at the time. Originally, Ryan Ross was their lead singer. When Urie filled in for Ross during a band rehearsal, they were impressed with Urie's vocal abilities and he was chosen as their lead singer.[7]
Since then, Panic! at the Disco has released 5 studio albums with Urie as lead vocalist. A Fever You Can't Sweat Out was released in 2005 with the hit lead single "I Write Sins Not Tragedies" propelling it to 1.8 million sales. For their second album, Pretty. Odd. (2008), Urie also took lyrical responsibility and wrote two of the tracks on the record by himself; those tracks being "I Have Friends in Holy Spaces" and festival favorite "Folkin' Around". He also wrote "New Perspective" for the soundtrack to the motion picture Jennifer's Body.
On March 22, 2011 the band released their third album Vices & Virtues following the departure of Ross and Walker. On October 8, 2013 the fourth album, Too Weird to Live, Too Rare to Die! was released. It debuted at No. 2 on the Billboard 200. On July 21, 2014, Urie won "Best Vocalist" at the Alternative Press Music Awards. In 2015, founding drummer Spencer Smith left the band and bassist Dallon Weekes departed from the official lineup, being downgraded to a touring member, leaving Urie as the only member of the official lineup.
On January 15, 2016, Panic! at the Disco released their fifth studio album, Death of a Bachelor, eventually earning the band its best sales week and first number one album.[8]
Other projects
Urie provided guest vocals alongside Patrick Stump on The Cab's song "One Of THOSE Nights" from their debut album, Whisper War.[9] Urie also appeared in Razia's Shadow, a musical created by the band Forgive Durden, with whom Panic! At The Disco has toured and become close friends.[citation needed] Past touring keyboardist Eric Ronick also got Urie involved with the song "Plans and Reveries" from his band, Black Gold.
Urie has also been involved with several songs by labelmates Fall Out Boy. He provided vocals on the songs "What A Catch, Donnie" and "20 Dollar Nose Bleed" from Fall Out Boy's 2008 album, Folie à Deux. Urie also sang back vocals on the track "7 Minutes In Heaven" off of Fall Out Boy's From Under The Cork Tree.[10]
In 2008, Urie became involved with a song for the Coca-Cola Company, called "Open Happiness". Urie sings the chorus of the song, which also features labelmate Patrick Stump of Fall Out Boy, labelmate Travis McCoy of Gym Class Heroes, Cee-Lo Green, and Janelle Monáe. The song was written and produced by Butch Walker, co-written by Cee-Lo Green and remixed by Polow Da Don. Urie was also featured as an elated news reporter in the music video for the song, which was released on July 16, 2009.[11]
In December 2013, Urie sang 'Big Shot' in front of Billy Joel, President Obama and an audience, when Billy Joel received the Kennedy Center Honors, the nation highest honor for influencing American culture through the arts.
Urie appeared in the music videos "A Little Less Sixteen Candles, a Little More Touch Me", "What A Catch, Donnie" and "Headfirst Slide into Cooperstown on a Bad Bet" by Fall Out Boy. Urie appears in the Gym Class Heroes video for the song "Clothes Off!!" alongside bandmate Spencer Smith and former Panic! at the Disco band members Ryan Ross and Jon Walker. The members are seen dancing in animal costumes, Urie being in a dog suit. Urie also appears in "One of THOSE nights" by The Cab, which also features Ryan Ross, Jon Walker, Pete Wentz, Patrick Stump and Spencer Smith. In 2010 Urie and bandmate Spencer Smith appeared in Butch Walker's music video "Pretty Melody", appearing as ninjas.[12][13] Brendon co-wrote a song with Rivers Cuomo of the band Weezer. Rivers has said that "If Panic! wants it, they have first dibs, but if not, it could work for Weezer." [14] Urie and bandmate Spencer Smith appeared in Butch Walker's Panic! at Butch Walker's, a parody in which Urie discovers Walker is a psychotic homicidal cannibal, and Brendon is his next meal.[15]
On March 24, 2014, Brendon Urie was featured on Travie McCoy's single "Keep On Keeping On" off his upcoming album Rough Waters.[16] Urie featured on the entirety of the song "Love in the Middle of a Firefight" for Dillon Francis's album Money Sucks, Friends Rule.[17] Francis called it his favourite track on the album. Urie also was featured on the Lil Dicky track "Molly" on his debut EP Professional Rapper.
Urie possesses a four-octave tenor vocal range.[18][19] His voice is known for being "extensive" and "versatile", notably after the release of "This Is Gospel" (2013).[19][20]
Personal life
In September 2011, it was confirmed that Urie was engaged to Sarah Orzechowski (born 1987).[21] The couple got married on April 27, 2013.[22]
Urie says that he has "experimented" with men but says, "I guess if I had to classify myself, I'd say I'm straight."[23]
