Our patented thin-line woofer technology compresses the architecture of the 13TW5v2 using a "concentric tube" structure that supports the 7-inch diameter voice coil and the suspension attachments. This permits placement of the large motor structure much further forward in the speaker than with conventional designs, while allowing excellent linear excursion capability and mechanical stability. To unleash even more performance from this technology, the v2 improves upon the original 13TW5 with 13% greater linear excursion capability. The cast alloy chassis has also been modified for greater strength and the redesigned motor now features an annular vent. The v2 is also available in single 2 ohm and single 4 ohm voice coil versions to fit a wide range of applications. In keeping with its "tight-spaces" mission, the 13TW5v2 is optimized for enclosures that are far smaller than most 12-inch woofers require and only a bit larger than the air space needs of a typical, small-box 10-inch woofer. The mounting system is designed to fit in about the same footprint as a typical 12-inch woofer. The 13TW5v2 is best used with amplifier power in the 250W - 600W range and is optimized to operate in a 0.80 cu. ft. (22.7 l) sealed enclosure. Detailed enclosure recommendations can be found in the "Specifications" tab.

|[drlvm] [jvmti] Implementation of SingleStep event through TRAP breakpoints
|Mon, 04 Sep 2006 21:21:07 GMT
Hello Now that DRLVM has some basic implementation of breakpoints in JIT mode as HARMONY-1363 has been created I've decided the same mechanism may be used for implementation of SingleStep JVMTI event [1]. I've thought of some draft design for SingleStep implementation using just int3 breakpoints which are already written in HARMONY-1363. It seems to be enough to satisfy JVMTI spec requirements. The way how I think SingleStep could be implemented is setting a new breakpoint on every new bytecode in compiled code. The breakpoint handler would remove SingleStep breakpoints instrumentation from compiled code and set new ones for the next executable location. The tricky parts is to find the next executable location have the following points 1. Turning SingleStep event state on. When this state is turned on all threads should be switched into SingleStep mode. All of them have to have the next after currently executed bytecode marked with SingleStep type breakpoint. 2. New threads when started and SingleStep state is on have to mark the first bytecode marked with SingleStep breakpoint. 3. Any native to Java transition have to mark first executable bytecode of the method with SingleStep type breakpoint. 4. When exception occurs the SingleStep breakpoints have to be removed from the places of the next executable location and set to exception handler starting address instead. 5. Breakpoints handler which would handle SingleStep type breakpoints as well has to distinguish agent set Breakpoints and synthetic SingleStep ones. 6. When SingleStep state is turned off all breakpoints for the next bytecode in all threads have to be deleted. The implementation would require "next bytecode predictor" which would allow the handler of breakpoints to set them on the next bytecode to be executed. For conditional situations it is easiest to have a set of possibly executable locations, or otherwise it would require parsing current Java stack state. The breakpoints predicted for the next bytecode should certainly be kept in TLS for every thread. There is going to be some subtle logic for distinguishing plain breakpoints and synthetic SingleStep ones and turning SingleStep on/off while in SingleStep and/or Breakpoint callback. So in places like #4, #5 and #6 "predicted" breakpoints would have to be added and removed in sets potentially with more than one target address. At the moment I don't see any flaws in this simple design and I'm going to start working on its implementation. Let me know what you think about it. Surely it is a subject for improvement. I am mostly keeping the whole idea in my head and never tried to write it down completely, I may miss describing some nuances since I may think of them as obvious so feel free to ask me.

Hello all !
After a long monologue about love an pillz Matthew told me he wanted to go around the world, meet people from the most countries he could and make new friends.
I thought that all Urban Rivals communities could help him during his long trip.
He needs people to put him up for a night or two and friends who will make him discover good spots in the different countries he'll visit.
Matthew's World Tour will begin with a short visit to the staff, then I'll send him to a player who'll have to find somebody else, in another country, to receive Matthew, etc.
Rules :
Only one Matthew card is concerned : the one I'll send to a player. There will be my name on it and everybody who will receive Matthew will sign the card.
Matthew must visit the most countries he can.
Each host will have to write a short description of Matthew's stay in his/her place (places Matthew discovered in your country, etc.). You also have to say to whom you'll send Matthew.
Post this in Matthew's World Tour Diary here :
I will also join
How do you get to join this... Am ready to take him in for a couple of days and show hi around Leicester here in Britain..
I'm out of the loop then if you just send it randomly...*sigh*
First stop is at Hungary.
Hope he stops in Norway.

I'm on slashdot posting about the fact that if you don't like linux you can change it. it's a given isn't it ?
"The park is a popular gathering place for tourists, but also for the mentally ill, vagrants, alcoholics, and drug addicts. Public inebriation, nudity, and calls for assistance for unconscious individuals are common; a fall-off due to increased policing in the 1990s proved shortlived. There are a lot of drug-related misdemeanors and even minor felonies, though there have been no homicides."
Hey I'm british
That describes just about any sort of park I visit

Ran, I sorted the seed and checked each one again. The kernel in each still
seemed large but when I applied pressure to see if it was still solid, it
was just mush. No project here this year. I may try those same special
seeds I get next year with half direct into the seed bed and other half into
the frig. Those were my streaked ventricosa seeds so I only have four to
work with.

Guys, I don't even know what to say.
My best friend, critique partner, and partner in insanity, Natalie Whipple, is officially a published author.
That sentence makes me happier than I can possibly tell you.
I've been fortunate enough to be able to read all of Natalie's drafts along the way, too. She's a delightful writer, and her ability to capture the teen experience in such an honest, real way (no matter what the setup--including the world of TRANSPARENT in which everyone is a mutant) never ceases to amaze and inspire me. Those of you who follow her online know that she is a genuinely honest, open person. She's not afraid to let people know when she's struggling (making them realize it's okay if they are, too), and she's always willing to help others. That emotional honesty comes through in her writing in a way few authors can manage.
I love TRANSPARENT. I love Fiona, a freak in a world of freaks (how true to teenhood is that??). I love her twisted-but-loyal family dynamics, her longing for the sort of real life she fears she can never have, and most of all her honesty and strength. I also love the abundance of hot brothers in this novel. (SERIOUSLY. SO MANY HOT BROTHERS.) An invisible girl really is the perfect metaphor for how so many of us felt in high school, and Natalie deftly combines that with a story of mobs and intrigue.
I love this book.
I hope you will, too! I thought about giving away a copy of TRANSPARENT, but let's face it: I want you to buy it. So, instead, I'm giving away an advance copy of THE CHAOS OF STARS, my book that comes out in September. This book owes so much of its existence to Natalie's suggestion that I use my love of/research of Ancient Egypt for a YA novel, plus her continued cheerleading every time I declared it was too hard and I couldn't write it. Yet another book of mine that wouldn't exist without her!
TO ENTER: Get TRANSPARENT! Amazon, Barnes and Noble, Book Depository, your local indie--wherever! eBooks are completely acceptable.
After you have bought a copy, come back and leave me a comment on this post telling me you have TRANSPARENT. Easy as that, you are entered to win the ARC, but you have technically already won because you get The Book of Hot Brothers!
RULES: You must buy a copy. It is open internationally IF you live in the UK, Australia, or New Zealand, because the book is available for purchase there as well. You must leave a comment telling me that you bought a copy. That's pretty much it. (As always, I trust you to be honest, because this would be a very silly thing to sacrifice integrity for, right?)
DEADLINE: FRIDAY, May 31st.
So, go forth. Get TRANSPARENT. Read it, love it, enter for an ARC of Chaos, and then find me on twitter so we can argue about which hot brother we get to claim. (Spoiler: I read it first, I GET THEM ALL.)

The Single Euro Payments Area, or SEPA, is an initiative to use uniform payment instruments for payments in euro.
In SEPA, credit transfers in euro and direct debits in euro are carried out according to the same payment schemes, applying uniform main terms and conditions, rights and obligations. Currently, SEPA covers 34 states, including Lithuania.
The key SEPA project requirements are defined in the SEPA Regulation.[1] The SEPA Regulation regulates credit transfers and direct debits in euro, when a payer's and a payee's payment service providers operate in the European Economic Area. It should be noted that payment service providers will also be able to provide payment services in line with SEPA requirements in the Principality of Monaco, Switzerland and San Marino; however, in these territories, the SEPA Regulation is not applied. Institutions responsible for ensuring observance of the SEPA Regulation should be appointed in each Member State. Once an infringement is identified, these institutions will be able to impose sanctions on payment service providers. In Lithuania, the Bank of Lithuania has been appointed as the competent authority.
The SEPA Regulation provisions and common SEPA payment schemes began to be applied gradually. Payment service providers and users of 18 euro area countries finished migration to SEPA requirements by 1 August 2014. After Lithuania joins the euro area in early 2015, SEPA requirements in Lithuania will come into effect no later than by 1 January 2016. In the other non-euro area countries, SEPA requirements will have to be implemented by 31 October 2016 at the latest.
The Bank of Lithuania not only performs the responsibilities of the competent authority in charge of compliance with the SEPA Regulation, but, to encourage successful implementation of the SEPA project in Lithuania, initiated the setting up of a SEPA Coordination Committee (hereinafter — Committee) in 2007, and currently chairs it. The Committee includes representatives of domestic commercial banks, foreign bank branches, the Association of Lithuanian Banks, Central Credit Union of Lithuania, association of credit unions, e-money institutions and the Bank of Lithuania involved in its activities on a voluntary basis. The Committee monitors and assesses the country's preparation for migration to SEPA payment instruments, prepares proposals for the elimination of obstacles to migrate to them and/or facilitate the migration. Furthermore, the Committee maintains relations and shares information with the SEPA project management structures at the EU level.
The experience of euro area countries has shown that a crucial prerequisite for migration to the SEPA project is to increase SEPA awareness. Aiming at increasing SEPA awareness, the Bank of Lithuania, jointly with the SEPA Coordination Committee, holds meetings with payment service users and organisations representing them — SEPA forums. The aim of SEPA forums is to promote mutual cooperation of payment service providers, software developers and payment service users, SEPA awareness and sharing of good practices, discussions and search for the most effective solutions in order to facilitate the preparations of enterprises and of the public sector for SEPA requirements.
In addition to that, the Bank of Lithuania, jointly with the Association of Lithuanian Banks, seeking to inform payment service users in the most timely manner and the most convenient way about changes due in the payments area, have developed Lithuania's SEPA website. It will post the most up-to-date and relevant information important both for residents and enterprises.
[1] Regulation (EU) No 260/2012 of the European Parliament and of the Council of 14 March 2012 establishing technical and business requirements for credit transfers and direct debits in euro and amending Regulation (EC) No 924/2009.

Let's take a look at everything you'll need to get started. Tags Tags are a great way to organize your files and now you can do it right in OS X. You can retroactively tag any files right from Finder with a right-click or add tags as you create new files. Once you start tagging items, you'll get quick access to your favorites in Finder's sidebar or they are easily accessible from the search menu.Finder Tabs Tags aren't the only improvement to Finder, you can also now use tabs instead of opening a whole new window. Just hit Command+T to create a new tab from any Finder window.Multiple Displays Mavericks changes how it handles multiple monitors to make things a little easier to use. You'll now get a dock and menu bar on all your screens, and apps like Spaces allow you to drag and drop apps between monitors. You don't need to do anything to get this set up and working, it should happen right out of the box.Calendar Calendar's got a whole new look now, including a new week view where you can view Facebook events to your calendar, and a new Inspector view that shows travel time, weather, and a map to the location you're going to.Maps Mavericks brings Apple Maps to the desktop for the first time. The new Maps app works almost identically to the iOS version, and you can search for all the same information. That includes a local search with Yelp reviews, and traffic data on your routes. If you find something you like, you can instantly send it to your iOS device by clicking the share button.iBooks Mavericks also brings iBooks to the desktop for the first time. Like the Kindle apps, iBooks is all about syncing your reading and notes across devices. Any books you've bought and marked up on your iPad now sync to iBooks on the desktop, including your notes and highlights.Notifications Finally, notifications get a subtle update. You can now reply to IM, Facetime, or email notifications right from the notification screen without opening up the app. You can also set it up in Safari to get notifications from web sites.

A whole new side of Mass Effect
Long before a game ever hits retail shelves, it comes into existence as an idea. That broad concept is then refined into a series of ideas, ranging from plot details to mechanics. Those designs are then formulated, refined, tested, and scrapped until only the strongest elements remain. We've never made a game before, but we'd wager that whole process is as exciting as it is exhausting. And it's a process that every game, regardless of scope or budget, must go through.
Matt Rhodes, an artist at BioWare, recently posted some of his concept art of Mass Effect on his blog, some of which showcases his initial ideas for many of the series' most beloved characters. He gave us permission to repost some of those images here, along with some of his words about the thought process that went into these early drafts.
You can find more of his work here.

Matt Rhodes: This was a very, very early idea for Shepard. In this image he has been forced to turn to Reaper technology to accomplish his goals (*cough* Saren *cough*) and hes being confronted by the new human Specter, Ashley.
Cerberus troops
Matt Rhodes: When designing the Cerberus troops, there were a lot of requests for thickness. I tend to go thin by default (a handicap I have to constantly work to counteract). What I wanted to maintain was a slight goofiness to their appearance. I think that if you try to design something to be cool, it will fail. The best designs (especially designs for characters that are meant to be scary or intimidating) are ones that maintain a percentage of goofiness. Real world designs typically have this element because engineers and designers are concerned with function first. This tends to create unintentionally funny forms.
Cerberus troops
Cerberus troops
Matt Rhodes: Bubblehead here was meant to be the ultimate stress test for this concept. He would show up looking like an idiot, but once he murdered a prisoner in cold blood and then ripped your health down to nothing you would learn to fear that stupid looking shape. I believe that the juxtaposition between the goofy appearance and deadly menace creates an iconic, lasting enemy. That said, it still wasnt an idea that fit within the Mass Effect language.
Kai Leng
Matt Rhodes: Two early takes on Kai Leng. Playing with Ben Huens idea for robot legs, and a battle scarred version.
Kai Leng
Matt Rhodes: The scarred version was an attempt to create an evil Shepard (As though Cerberus had rebuilt him as well, but done a crappier job).
The Illusive Man
Matt Rhodes: Here were two early renditions of the Illusive man after he had overdosed on Reaper Tech.
The Illusive Man
Matt Rhodes: This was an early take on Ashleys costume. The idea was to create a hybrid of uniform and armor. Ive always been fond of the idea of futuristic wet-suit armor. I wanted to try a suit that was flexible, but sturdy and protective. Flexible, futuristic armor is a concept that requires too much in-game exposition though. At the end of the day it was decided that players need to see hard-shell armor.
Matt Rhodes: Heres a version of Wrex on his throne that was never released. It was drawn to help give the level artists a starting point.
Human Reaper
Matt Rhodes: The Collector ship and the Human-Reaper both took a very long time to design. This biggest challenge was communicating the immense scale. These concepts were all part of the long discussion about scale, but also how abstracted the Human-Reaper would be. Early experiments leant more towards a fetus, others towards adult skeletal and muscular systems.
Human Reaper
Matt Rhodes: This one in particular was far too literal. I include it because the human-tube has been a long running and terrible joke between a few friends. Just imagine the deafening squeak of a thousand asses rubbing on glass.
Matt Rhodes: Early passes at the Shadowbroker.
Matt Rhodes: This one is my personal favorite. I kind of wish wed gone this direction, even though admittedly it's a bit more boring that the final version. This was a response to the description Hes basically Ares, in space.
Matt Rhodes: Edi went through a lot of quick, early iterations. When you know a character is going to be a particular challenge it can help to explore a lot of territory quickly and early. We tried: Plastic-skin, with and without glowy-bits.
See more iterations of Edi on Rhodes' site.
Matt Rhodes: I still find that concepting major characters in T-pose (or just standing there) to be challenging. When I feel stuck, it helps to put them in context. This image explores Edi being more literally connected to the Normandy.
Reaper drones
Matt Rhodes: These were early Reaper drone concepts that remain my favorites to this day
Matt Rhodes: Protheans were interesting. At first I was trying to design a creature that could conceivably be (if you squint your eyes) the genetic root of all the alien races in our galaxy (yes yes, just like that TNG episode). I was trying to stay as close to their original appearance in ME1 as I could (which had been kept intentionally vague for just this reason). That didnt last long though.
Matt Rhodes: Okay, admittedly, Ive kept these drawings far away from the internet for a while. Thats because theyre connected to controversy in one way or another. Please take them as they are: drawings done during development, posted for interests sake. Ive been asked to comment on these subjects in the past but will continue to let the work speak for itself.
These were some of the first images drawn for the finale level. The original thought was to create a serene space in the middle of a pitched battle. I thought it would be interesting to create this golden lotus flower out of panels and protective foil.
Synthesis outcome
Matt Rhodes: This image was purely speculative on my part. I imagined the galaxy changed by the synthesis choice. Because life and technology were joined (and I didnt know the Mass Relays would be destroyed yet) I imagined that there would be no more need for space ships. Any creature could just link in with the nearest relay and jump to any world they chose, surface to surface. This would start changing the biology of every creature in the galaxy as they would no longer be limited to any one environment. Here are some Asari/Salarian/Human/? in the far, far future taking a carefree stroll in the grass.
Matt Rhodes: The debate about whether or not to reveal Talis face was another one that lasted a long time. Versions of her were being worked on fairly often. To me, this has always been (and always will be) Tali. This was drawn during ME1 when she was first being designed, and when her appearance under the mask wasnt a big deal yet.

In this collection of Photoshop CS6 tutorials we will learn the fundamental tools, techniques and workflows for Photoshop CS6. It can safely be said that Photoshop is truly the backbone of the computer graphics industry.
When it comes to creating believable environment concepts that seamlessly integrate photographs and painting, a lot of artists struggle with how to blend the two. For this reason, this tutorial will take color out of the equation and allow you to focus on simple black and white values as we weave our final scene together. To start out, we will begin to snatch pieces of photographs that are appealing and can be used for our scene. We will learn why these photographs were selected and how we can use them to block in the land masses and some of the architectural elements for our concept. From here we will begin painting to blend things together. We'll add in some rock structures as well as modify some of the architecture.

Photos: NICTA Techfest 2012
Senator Conroy opens new Digital Productivity Showcase.
on Feb 24 2012 6:48AM
0 Comments
NICTA's seventh annual technology showcase attracted some 600 visitors to the Australian Technology Park.
Researchers showcased some 60 projects in areas such as health, transport and logistics, security, machine learning, software systems and digital productivity.
A Lego robot was used to demonstrate NICTA's
seL4 microkernel
– a general purpose operating system that was mathematically proven to be bug-free.
Some 100 high school students attended Techfest.
NICTA chairman Neville Stevens formally kicked off the event.
NSW chief scientist Mary O'Kane applauded the alignment of showcased projects - including those in the areas of health, transport and logistics - with the state's priorities.
Professor Margaret Sheil, chief executive officer of the Australian Research Council, described its annual investment of $500 million on promising researchers and ideas and an additional $300 million on strategic projects.
Sheil said the Federal Government had spent a total of $546 million on NICTA since its launch in 2002 and "we haven't been disappointed".
NICTA chief executive officer Hugh Durrant-Whyte delivered a passionate speech on its research projects and outcomes.
He said the organisation had signed 56 new contracts and technology licenses in the past 12 months, yielding $3.5 million in contract revenue.
Across the road in NICTA's Australian Technology Park headquarters, the organisation launched its Digital Productivity Showcase.
NICTA's director of broadband and the digital economy Terry Percival described the Digital Productivity Showcase as a venue for researchers, end-users, industry and government to "talk and exchange ideas".
The launch was attended by Federal Minister for Broadband, Communications and the Digital Economy, Senator Stephen Conroy, who described the National Broadband Network as a "platform" on which digital productivity improvements could be built.
Mark Paterson, director general of the NSW Department of Trade and Investment, Regional Infrastructure and Services, noted that the "digital economy" was "not just ICT and smartphones", but the application of technology to improve business.
Communications minister Senator Stephen Conroy launched the Digital Productivity Showcase in a virtual ribbon cutting ceremony.
NICTA technology strategist Dean Economou demonstrated remote video editing as an example of teleworking in the Digital Productivity Showcase.
Also demonstrated in the Digital Productivity Showcase was a video-conferencing and document scanning system that would allow people to submit forms from remote areas with the assistance of a third-party translator if required.
Terry Percival, Senator Stephen Conroy and NICTA researcher Rami Mukhtar discussed adding the ability to analyse "big data" to stock market data services.

Morning Update: Exiting Iraq
Anticipating policy changes once President-elect Barack Obama takes office, military commanders are preparing a new plan (IHT) for a faster U.S. troop withdrawal from Iraq.
Showing posts for "Terrorism"
Anticipating policy changes once President-elect Barack Obama takes office, military commanders are preparing a new plan (IHT) for a faster U.S. troop withdrawal from Iraq.
The Wall Street Journal looks at new questions surrounding Barack Obama's nominee to head the U.S. Treasury, Timothy Geithner.
President-elect Barack Obama says it "is more difficult than I think a lot of people realize" to close the U.S. detention center at Guantanamo Bay, Cuba. He told ABC News in an interview Sunday he was committed to closing the center but it would take time and must be done "in a way that doesn't result in releasing people who are intent on blowing us up."
The Commission on the Prevention of Weapons of Mass Destruction Proliferation and Terrorism briefed Vice President-elect Joe Biden and Secretary of Homeland Security nominee Janet Napolitano on its latest report Wednesday. In remarks at the briefing (AFP), Biden said the United States is "not doing all we can to prevent the world's most lethal weapons from winding up in the hands of terrorists."
Journalist and author Tariq Ali warned that U.S. military action in Pakistan and escalation of the war in Afghanistan would create widespread instability in the region. Speaking Tuesday in a public discussion with Chicago Council on Global Affairs president Marshall Bouton. Ali said he was "extremely disturbed" by President-elect Barack Obama's assertion during the presidential campaign that he would be willing to strike al-Qaeda targets inside of Pakistan with actionable intelligence if the Pakistani government was unwilling or unable to do so.
Middle East expert Juan Cole reviewed President-elect Barack Obama's positions to date on Iraq and Afghanistan in a lecture at the University of Chicago on Wednesday evening. Cole, who tracks events in the Middle East on his Informed Comment blog, said many of Obama's campaign positions on the Iraq war have recently become "more plausible" as a result of developments there.
Both presidential candidates will visit Ground Zero Thursday morning to commemorate the terrorist attacks of September 11, 2001. The Washington Post says the issue of terrorism has become less prominent in the presidential campaign.
MINNEAPOLIS — Rep. Ray Lahood (R-IL) is one of the country's most prominent Arab-American lawmakers and is ranking Republican on the Select Intelligence Oversight Panel. Now preparing to step down after 14 years in Congress, Lahood spoke with CFR.org on the sidelines of the GOP convention about some foreign policy developments and priorities. Here are excerpts:
DENVER — National Security Day kicked off in Denver Wednesday, with delegates looking forward to speeches from former Vice President Al Gore, former President Bill Clinton, and Sen. Barack Obama's (D-IL) vice presidential selection, Sen. Joseph Biden (D-DE), among others. Just outside the high-security zone around the Pepsi Center, CFR co-sponsored a roundtable discussion moderated by NBC News Special Correspondent Tom Brokaw on the international issues facing the United States.
The Democratic Party released a draft of its platform (PDF) on Thursday. The fifty-four page document includes sections on the wars in Iraq and Afghanistan, a new U.S.-Pakistan partnership, homeland security, and nuclear non-proliferation, among other foreign policy topics. Much of the agenda is consistent with Sen. Barack Obama's foreign policy plan, including the goal of "responsibly redeploying our combat forces from Iraq and refocusing them on urgent missions."

India now matters to U.S. interests in virtually every dimension. This Independent Task Force report assesses the current situation in India and the U.S.-India relationship, and suggests a new model for partnership with a rising India.
Rates of heart disease, cancer, diabetes, and other noncommunicable diseases (NCDs) in low- and middle-income countries are increasing faster than in wealthier countries. The report outlines a plan for collective action on this growing epidemic.
This report asserts that elevating and prioritizing the U.S.-Canada-Mexico relationship offers the best opportunity for strengthening the United States and its place in the world.
Williams argues that the status quo for peace operations in untenable and that greater U.S. involvement is necessary to enhance the quality and success of peacekeeping missions.
The authors argue that the United States has responded inadequately to the rise of Chinese power and recommend placing less strategic emphasis on the goal of integrating China into the international system and more on balancing China's rise.
Campbell evaluates the implications of the Boko Haram insurgency and recommends that the United States support Nigerian efforts to address the drivers of Boko Haram, such as poverty and corruption, and to foster stronger ties with Nigerian civil society.

Tragic Earth is a 4-piece hard rock act who's sound takes in elements of grunge, metal and stadium rock with big riffs and choruses, fused with floating vocal melodies and delivered with a blistering live show. The band believes in a message of hope and perseverance, dealing with problems faced in modern day society, using lyrics and emotion as an unlikely light in a familiar darkness common to many individuals.

One of the first bands to join us on the radio and fast friends since, these UK rockers bring it hard and real.
Getting to know our new friend , and a member of the team getting to go check Colin's bands live. We have learned two things. You can't pigeon hole this great band to a genre and their live show is amazing.
Having known Raphael for many years now as both a friend and a musician, I could not be happier than to introduce you to this man of generous spirit and prolific talent.
Don Miller and the boys from "Dirty Mind Detroit" Can Rock it out with a driving a Blues/Rock sound that can stir your soul.

Green Day frontman Billie Joe Armstrong is set to play Charlie Chaplin in an upcoming episode of 'Drunk History'.
Frontman/Guitarist/Vocalist Mikael Åkerfeldt of Swedish progressive metallers OPETH spoke about the sharp musical turn the band took with 2011's Heritage album and its 2014 follow-up, Pale Communion. "I was writing Heritage. It was kind of heavy, like a continuation of the stuff we were best known for: very dynamic music and mainly screaming, death metal vocals. But I guess I was fooling myself when I was writing that kind of stuff. I was fooling myself that I liked it and that it was the right thing to do."
Keyboardist Jonathan Cain (Journey, Bad English, The Babys) marks his latest solo venture with What God Wants to Hear, due Oct. 21 via Identity Records.

Current brain-computer interface (BCI) systems utilizing the P300 Speller can provide an effective means of communication for locked-in patients if the patients are willing to spend considerable time training to use the system and are willing to accept a fairly slow communication rate. The overarching goal of this research is to transition current P300 Speller BCI systems from research labs to clinical use by increasing system robustness, increasing the communication rate achieved by the patient, and reducing the time required to train the patient to use the system. In the R21 phase of this work, three variations on the standard speller and training paradigm will be evaluated for their potential to achieve these goals: 1) improved real-time stimulus selection via optimal experiment design, 2) channel selection using feature selection techniques, and 3) improved communication rates via the sequential detection of P300 responses. At the completion of the R21 phase, these approaches have the potential to substantively improve communication rates, improve robustness, and increase accuracy in a set of normal subjects. In the R33 phase of this effort, we propose to evaluate the impact of our R21 developments in subjects with disabilities. Specifically, we will begin by assessing the impact of the baseline and improved speller system on subjects with disabilities while operating the system in a clinical environment. Using lessons learned from these subjects in the clinical environment, we will begin testing the baseline and improved system in the home environment. The goal of this phased development and proof of concept effort is to transition the current P300 speller system which operates fairly well in a research environment into a tool that can be used in the home environment by the clinical population for which it was developed. At the successful completion of this R21/R33 effort, an Augmentative and Alternative Communication (AAC) device that can be used in the home by ALS patients with robust and accurate performance will have been demonstrated and should be ready to begin a commercialization phase. While research and laboratory systems exist currently that are based on the P300 speller paradigm, they have not been successfully transitioned to the clinic, or the home. The goal of this effort is to effect that transition from research platform to clinically relevant AAC device prescribable by a clinician. In addition to providing a more powerful research tool in the clinic, ALS subjects would be able to communicate in a robust and accurate fashion in the home.
Severe developmental and acquired communication disabilities affect individuals of all ages, and prevalence estimates of people requiring AAC support range from 8 to 12 persons per 1000 for English speaking countries. While augmentative and assistive communication systems are available clinically, individuals affected by severe physical limitations, such as those caused by amyotrophic lateral sclerosis (ALS) or brain stem stroke, may not have the physical ability required to use these devices. Successfully overcoming the limitations of current P300 Speller systems, which are based on processing EEG signals, and transitioning these systems into the clinic and home will allow these individuals access to a communication aid that does not limit their vocabulary and allows them to maintain connection, independence and self determination.

With its blend of high-flying manoeuvres, outlandish costumes and pageantry rooted in ancient culture, lucha libre – aka the raucous world of Mexican wrestling – has been a bedrock of its homeland ever since the silver-masked fighter El Santo stepped into the ring in 1942 and became the sport's first superstar, complete with mask and carefully controlled anonymity.
It is a world that the photographer Lourdes Grobet grew up watching on TV, and which she has been documenting for more than 20 years. "I was a fan of wrestling since I was a child," she explains, "but my father wouldn't let me attend – so becoming a photographer was a way of exploring that world."
What Grobet discovered was that what might appear to be a simple wrestling match was, in fact, a melting pot of indigenous cultural practices, with the ritual of adopting a mask going back as far as the Aztecs. Yet, to her surprise, "There was little published about this important element of Mexican culture."
Her resulting project spans several decades and documents the lives of these luchadores in and out of the ring, including shots of them relaxing at home in scenes of domesticity contrasting wildly with their glittering, shiny outfits. "While their costumes are a reflection of their character, it's their job to be part of a show. And out of the arena, they are just like us."
Sixteen of Grobet's images will be on view at London Mexfest, which runs from Friday to Sunday as part of the Shoreditch Fringe Festival. Visit www.richmix.org.uk/whats-on/festival/london-mexfest/

Shoot The Breeze / Re: Gary Lewis Achievement Award« on: October 18, 2013, 10:58:21 AM »
I've been asked to post my speech for those that couldn't hear me.
Most of you who know me, know Im not much of a speech person, so Ill try and keep this brief and just thank all the people who got me involved with the volunteering.
First off, Id like to thank Gary Lewis, for whom this award is aptly named. When I first starting playing disc golf in this area, he was pretty much the only person running tournaments. And they werent just your basic tournaments, he ran a very smooth show with all the extras that really make a tournament great. He was the first person that inspired me to help out. I would play one day of his events and would show up the other day to give him a hand.
Secondly, Id like to thank Jesse. Hes spent countless hours getting courses ready and making sure every little detail that goes into running the biggest and I must say best events get done. Beyond that, he is a great promoter of the game. Hes always encouraging new players to join in leagues and tournaments. Any problems that arise, he manages to handle in a way that makes everyone feel theyve won. Its always a pleasure to help him out in any way I can.
Next, Id like to thank Frank Grimes. I know everyone is always talking about how much time he puts into the courses but until I really got involved, I never really know how much time that actually was. Just look at the number of points he has for the J-Town Disc Golf Clubs Member Reward Program and that doesnt even include a lot of the work he does out at Channahon and doesnt want credit for. Even with all the work he puts in, he is still the first guy to give others a big thank you and props for a job well done. It seems like, especially this year, that hes inspiring a whole new generation of players to help out on the course.
Next, Id like to thank Ray Hill. Hes another behind the scenes guy who is the inspiration for a lot of what I do. Its his ideas that often spark some of the more innovative things we do. He was the one that asked the state coordinator for the rights to award the IL USDGC spot which lead us to create the Ropes at the Oaks tournament.
Lastly, I'd like to thank all of the J-Town players who come out to these events and show those running it, your appreciation. A lot of you are willing to step up and help out when its needed and it goes a long way towards keeping all these volunteers inspired to keep going. Thank you.

Hi, your search found this article for you on Trip:
ACA on Trial: Severability
MedPageToday, 2012WASHINGTON -- Next week the will hear oral arguments on the constitutionality of the healthcare reform law, just days after the two-year anniversary of the Affordable Care Act (ACA).
In a three-part series, MedPage Today takes a closer look at the main arguments for and against the law.
In this second article in the series, we discuss the arguments on whether the mandate can be removed from the law.
On Friday, we'll provide analysis of the constitutional issues involved in the ACA's expansion of Medicaid.
The individual mandate -- easily the most controversial piece of the landmark law -- requires everyone to have health insurance starting in 2014 and levies a tax penalty on those who don't.
It is considered by many to be the linchpin of the entire law and is expected to bring millions more into the insurance market.
Whether the mandate is constitutional is the main issue driving the debate (and one the court will hear oral argument on on Tuesday).
On Wednesday, the Court will devote 90 minutes of oral arguments to the issue of whether the rest of the ACA can still stand if the mandate is struck down.
The states who are suing the government over the ACA have asked the Supreme Court to strike down the entire law if it finds the individual mandate to be unconstitutional.
The Obama administration argues just the opposite: That if the mandate is found to be unconstitutional, , with the exception of two provisions -- the guaranteed-issue provision, which bans insurers from refusing to offer coverage due to a preexisting medical condition, and the community rating provision, which bars insurers from charging higher premiums based on a person's medical history.
"Other provisions can operate independently and would still advance Congress' core goals of expanding coverage, improving public health, and controlling costs even if the minimum coverage provision were held unconstitutional," Justice Department lawyers wrote in their brief filed with the Supreme Court on the separability issue.

My chip is still doing nothing at all. Yes, I'm still back to being a freak. Thanks for asking. I looked up the corporation that developed my chip, and they've picked up and moved. The word is that there was some kind of government investigation. Whatever. All that means to me is that I had to travel to them all the way overseas.
When I got there, I found out that he guy who developed the chip had retired and was living like a dot-com CEO who sold their stock before the crash. When I found out where... It's just my damn stupid luck again. Los Angeles. Bel Aire, actually. And his house is locked down more strongly than any engineer's house has any right to be. I've tried.
I'm back in town now. I need to check in with Anne, since I'd guess that she's probably close to reporting me to the judge if she hasn't already. Plus, from what I'm learned about this engineer, Anne might be the perfect ticket in. He's the philanthropic guy - mostly for tax reasons, like everybody else who gives to charity - and Anne's little poorhouse is just the kind of thing he likes to fund. If I can get her to get me in the door, I'm good to go.

Statutory Repairs, Edinburgh
The statutory notice system[1] in Edinburgh, Scotland, was instituted after a series of incidents in the 1990s culminating in a serious accident in 1999 in which a person was killed.[2] Statutory notices require homeowners to carry out repairs using council-approved builders to protect the architecture of a World Heritage city. This system is unique to Edinburgh.
The value of statutory notices issued by Edinburgh Council surveyors had increased from £9.2m in 2005 to more than £30m in 2010. The statutory notice means the council can commission repair work to be carried out on buildings in the city in order to stop them deteriorating, and then charges the owners for the work. The council keeps 15% of the costs.[3]
A BBC Scotland Investigates programme, Scotland's Property Scandal,[4] commissioned a quantity surveyor, Gordon Murdie, and a structural engineer, John Addison, to examine repairs carried out under the statutory notice system. Their view was that residents had been overcharged. The BBC alleged the work had been given to contractors who had not been approved.
Edinburgh Council suspended several employees from the property conservation department following the BBC programme's broadcast on 20 September 2011, and instituted an independent investigation. Lothian and Borders Police are also carrying out a fraud enquiry.[5]
By January 2012 at least 650 complaints had been received by the council.[citation needed] A working estimate suggests that the total amount of overcharging (based on a figure of ten per cent of the value of building repairs contracts since 2005) may exceed £13.5M.[6]
In April 2013[7] the Statutory Notice system was scrapped for all but emergency work.

Inflation Risk and Portfolio Allocation in the Banking System
This paper proposes theory and evidence on the relationship between inflation and the bank's portfolio allocation. The proposed idea rationalized what Rodriguez (1992) pointed out with respect to the Central Bank of Argentina, behaving as a "borrower of first resort", where banks reallocated their investment from the private sector to government bonds. A main component of inflation costs is the misallocation of resources, this paper shows a channel through the reallocation of credits, where the credit market for the private sector trend to disappear. Theoretically, this paper studies the behavior of risk-neutral financiers in a world in which monitoring costs, and limited liability on the part of firms leads to credit rationing equilibria. In light of the well established relation between inflation and changes in relative prices, the theoretical model rationalizes the relationship between inflation and the allocation of capital in the banking system. Empirically, it looks at the dynamic behavior of the composition of bank's assets in Argentina between 1983 and 1998, which shows a robust relationship between relative price variability and bank's allocation in government denominated assets.

This seems to happen to me every time: I'm rushing back to the airport trying to make a flight, and I still need to fill up the rental car with gas. Which side is the gas cap on? The precious seconds expended in stopping the car to get out and look (because I've already craned my neck out the window and couldn't see) will mean that I miss the flight.
Yes, I should have made a mental note when I picked the car up which side the gas cap was on. I'm pretty squarely type-A personality, but noting such a thing is too obsessive even for me. So, instead I look for a little arrow on the instrument panel next to the gas level.
For everyone that knew this beforehand and doesn't think it warrants an Instructable: I can already feel your smugness, so there's no need to comment. Let me and the one other person on the planet who didn't already know this enjoy our new found knowledge.
