Waterproof by Conformal Coating - Nullifies Water Damage!
Conductive liquids such as water pretty much destroy all kinds of electronics on contact. That's why ASRock has implemented a special layer of Conformal Coating on our motherboards, which makes the motherboards invulnerable to conductive liquids, corrosion and dust. Users won't have to worry about spilling liquid nitrogen, liquid helium or even clam chowder over their motherboards while overclocking.
Note: Conformal Coating may protect the motherboard against conductive liquids, but only to a certain extent. To avoid damaging your computer and other components, we still advise users to keep liquids a safe distance away. Plus, the pins need to stay conductive therefore they are not covered by Conformal Coating.
5 Year Warranty
ASRock's OC Formula Series motherboards with Conformal Coating guarantees 5 year warranty for any malfunctions that occur under normal use conditions during the warranty period.
*The details of this 5 year warranty service may vary by different regions. (

High Density Glass Fabric PCB
What you've never understood about your computer is that it is scared to death of water, H2O, humidity or whatever you'd like to name it. And even though you do not see the water, actually there may be lots of excessive moist in the air killing your motherboard silently and slowly. No, your motherboard doesn't melt when in contact with water like the wicked witch of the west, but it dies of short circuit. Luckily, ASRock has a new High Density Glass Fabric PCB design that reduces the gaps between the PCB layers to protect the motherboard against electrical shorts caused by humidity.
12 Power Phase Design
Designed with a 12 Power Phase design, this motherboard features sturdy components and completely smooth power delivery to the CPU. Plus, it offers unmatched overclocking capabilities and enhanced performance with the lowest temperature for advanced gamers as well.

Distortion-Free Slot
ASRock strives for perfection and cares about even the most unnoticeable details when it comes to making motherboards better! This exclusive new pin design for the motherboard's memory slots called Distortion-Free Slots effectively reduce distortion and improve performance.
Traditional pin design
New Distortion-Free Slot
* Shorter pin design
* Reduces signal distortion
Hi-Density Power Connector
By replacing the motherboard's ordinary CPU power connectors with the brand new Hi-Density Power Connectors, it can reduce up to 23% power loss and decrease the power connector's temperature by 22℃. Need that extra computing power? Get more performance, and stay cool my friend!
15μ Gold Finger
Compared to other motherboards that come with only 3-4µ gold, this motherboard contains a total of 15µ gold within the CPU socket, DRAM slots and PCI Express x16 slots, thus providing better anti-oxidation protection than usual.
Twin-Power Cooling
ASRock's exclusive Twin-Power Cooling is a hybrid cooling solution that combines active air cooling with water cooling, together creating the ultimate heat pipe cooling design that maximizes the system's convection to expel hot air, provide better air flow and faster heat dissipation, so that overclockers may have more fun while overclocking!
GELID Solutions GC-Extreme Thermal Compound
When it comes to overclocking, all overachieving overclockers will agree that keeping cool is crucial for pushing limits. That's why ASRock wants overclockers to use professional cooling compounds, GELID Solutions GC-Extreme Thermal Compound is an added bonus that allows overclockers to stabilize the CPU's temperature.
8 Layer PCB
Not only does this motherboard adopt components and materials with the best quality, it is also built on a high quality 8 Layer PCB that comes with four sets of two ounce copper inner layers, using only the best carefully selected copper materials for its PCB layers, it delivers lower temperature and higher energy efficiency for gamers and overclockers.
Status OLED
Status OLED shows various information of the system on a new high resolution OLED screen. Now you can use three buttons to toggle between information of the power on self test, debug codes, the current time, temperatures, frequencies and voltages of various points on the motherboard.
Multi Thermal Sensor
Need to monitor your motherboard's temperature constantly? Multi Thermal Sensor provides overclockers the temperature of various parts of the motherboard graphically, so that users may precisely keep track and control the temperature of each part of their motherboard while they are overclocking.

Greetings, I have a general question. I understand arpspoofing, packet capping, and rerouting traffic with iptables, but I cant seem to figure out how to take traffic forwarded from an arpspoof, and forward through a different host. For example, lets say there is a 3 node network
Router 192.168.1.1
User 192.168.1.10
Pirate 192.168.1.11
arpspoof would run on Pirate, and cap the traffic FROM User TO Router, and instead of give it to Router it would send it to a remote host, 192.168.2.90. Which would then hijack the session, and rather than connect to the router, it is now connected to the foreign node. Is this possible, if so, how would one go about doing such a job?

So nobody know a command how to stop loading this sound driver on boot? I don't need sound at all! Anyone know how to disable all the ALSA (sound) drivers on boot?
Hi all .
I've got an Acer Ferrai 1000 notebook and I am trying to boot into LIVE cd (via my disk C:\ since firewire drives are not supported by backtrack; first i boot from firewire drive thought). I get the folowing error every time I want to boot (half way through install):
...tmp/2.6.20/src-drivers/alsa-driver-1.0.14rc2/pci/hda/hda_codec.c:216 hda_code invalid dep_range_value...
It repeats a million times so it is hard to read it . BUT eventually it stops an continues loading and boots backtrack normaly. NOW I've made an HD install and it does it again every time!
PLEASE tell what might be the problem and how to fix it. I think ALSA is something to do with sound (driver maybe).
So nobody know a command how to stop loading this sound driver on boot? I don't need sound at all! Anyone know how to disable all the ALSA (sound) drivers on boot?
There appears to be a polling issue (unresolved here) between slax the foundation for the bt distribution and alsa.
Since the problem is relatively shortlived and booting continues normally I suggest that you contact the alsa support forum and post a query regarding slax and alsa to resolve your issues.
Lux sit
Heh, thanks for the info. I would rather just disable the whole ALSA thing. I don't need sound in BackTrack . Thought if anyone knows the command or a way , that will be really helpful .
Thanks again .
P.S. I have to wait 10 minutes for it to stop repeating the rror so how is that 'short lived'?
I know there is probably a better way, however you could pull apart the iso and delete /opt/kde/share/sounds/KDE_Start_up_1.ogg to stop the KDE soundstart. Then repack the iso. This might work however, I have never done this.
DAMN, it was just a spelling mistake lol. I just realized what I wrote . I wrote in a hurry and didnt do the spell checker (i wrote it in IE not firefox lol). lo lol lol lol The live CD was copied to my C:\ drive on windows (i got this idea from PCLinuxOS since it suggested it when it failed to gind the firewire drive).
i have the same error too when i try and boot it from the cd. i dont intend to install it just run it off the cd. so basically i just have to disable the sound or something?
i have an acer aspire 5100 laptop
My apologies for bringing up an old thread, but I want to give a possible solution for some of the people with this sound error...
I own a Gateway MT6452 which uses the SB450 HDA Audio driver (ATI) which is in many other laptops, so the solution should apply to most of the laptops with an ATI chipset and sigmatel sound...
- First navigate to /etc/modprobe.d/
- Now create a file and call it "sound" (w/o quotes)
- Open the file and insert
- Then save the file and restart...Code:options snd-hda-intel probe_mask=3 position_fix=3
Now when you boot up you should no longer receive the ALSA error spamming at you and you will be greeted with the beautiful sound of the BT boot
It took me a couple hours of googling and thread searching to find this so I figured I'd make it a little bit easier on those still suffering from this problem...
Credits for the solution go to

SAN FRANCISCO -- Cantaloupe Systems' cloud-based VMS tool can now schedule, prekit, service and manage self-checkout markets alongside vending machines, with no need to retrain or switch among multiple IT systems.
With Seed Micromarket Integration, route drivers only need one handheld device to service both vending machines and micromarkets. Seed's mobile photo audit is also available through the integration, making it easy for drivers to take pictures to verify micromarket cleanliness and planogram accuracy online.
The first micromarket supplier to implement Seed Micromarket Integration is The Market by Imperial, a new micromarket solution from Imperial Co. (Tulsa, OK).
"After deploying more than 50 micromarkets, gross sales were up, but margins were getting hammered by increased operations costs," said Craig Hunt, Imperial project manager. However, because Seed can manage both vending and micromarket operations in one system, he explained, Imperial's self-checkout installations are now seeing higher profits.
Cantaloupe said other micromarket suppliers are currently finalizing their implementations of Seed Micromarket Integration, and additional partners are planned throughout 2013.

Schapelle Corby's sister Mercedes has separated from her husband, Wayan, but did not inform Bali authorities, even though he is the drug smuggler's guarantor.
Wayan Widyartha has signed documents with the Bali corrections authorities saying he will be responsible for any problems she causes while she is on parole.
But Fairfax Media has learnt from friends of the family that the couple, who were married in 1999, split months ago.
Ketut Artha, the head of Bali's corrections board, said the split would make no difference to Corby's ability to stay on parole as long as Mr Wayan stayed as guarantor.
At this stage Mr Wayan is sticking by the family.
He sat next to Schapelle during her masked interview and document signing at the Bali corrections office and helped guide her through the throng of media.
Family friend Dane Kasih has also said Mr Wayan takes joint responsibility for the couple's children.
Corrections board chief Mr Ketut said: "We didn't know anything about the split – we heard nothing. When we did our review of her suitability for parole [in August 2013], our investigation suggested that the family was OK."
The parole board would add concern about the split to their pastoral care and guidance of Corby and review the implications for her personally in the future, Mr Ketut said.
An officer at the Bali Justice office, Made Badra, confirmed that the family relationships would not affect Mr Wayan's role as guarantor as long as he remained willing to help supervise Corby.
"If he now withdraws from being a guarantor, that's a problem, but it's nothing to do with what's happening within the family," Mr Made said.
The news suggests that even when Schapelle Corby leaves the resort to which she has been escorted, she may not go to live in Mr Wayan's family compound.
While it is possible under Indonesian prison regulations to have a non-native Indonesian as guarantor, it is understood the Corby case was already complex and controversial enough without adding that into the mix.
A French drug trafficker, Michael Le Blanc, was recently released into the care of his mother, who had moved to Indonesia to facilitate his parole.
Mercedes Corby thanked her family's supporters on Monday.
"We've been waiting almost 10 years for this moment," Ms Corby said, according to a Twitter post by Channel 10 journalist Matt Moran (@mattmoran10news).
"It's very emotional for Schapelle and our family. We are all very relieved & happy. Thank you for everyone who has been there for us & supported us for all these years."

Having grown up in the South, the daughter of someone who wrote her masters thesis on Southern fiction, the idea of writing even a 300 word review of William Faulkner's classic Light in August is intimidating, to say the least. In the South, Faulkner is a rite of passage, someone we all read in high school or college but certainly not since, preferring to celebrate our literary legacy through more contemporary "Southern fiction light". Faulkner is just tough it's dense and wrought with meaning classic literature at its finest, but not what you would call a beach read (unless you're my mom).
And then I listened to Will Patton perform Faulkner's Light in August.
Faulkner's stories are written out of chronological order, in layers, in such a way that you might come to know a story over time from hearing it told by many different people in a place. Those who have studied Faulkner say when you get really caught up in one of the author's page-long sentences, the best thing to do is read it out loud.
It's even better to listen. With intonation, and the honey smooth cadence of Patton's voice, the story is suddenly clearer.
Patton introduces us to Lena Grove as she begins her journey to find the father of her unborn child, Lucas Burch. Instead she finds Byron Bunch, who feels a strong pull to take care of her, though it puts him in an awkward social position. For guidance, Byron visits the Rev. Gail Hightower, a man so haunted by not even his own past, but that of his grandfather, that he has trapped himself in his own home.
Even before we encounter Joe Christmas, the 33-year old drifter of ambiguous race, the allusions to the life and death of Jesus are thick. There is a fire and a murder, and it all unravels from there. Patton's voice carries us through it all, enhancing the story with approachability and authenticity. The Charleston-born Patton's southern accent is true and real—not a touch of the theatrical, overdone linguistics adopted by some other actors.
In Light in August, Faulkner addresses themes of morality and race, religion and redemption all too deeply to address in these few words. But he does it without preaching or judgment, leaving the reader and in this case the listener to wonder about our own stories, and how they might be told. Sarah Evans Hogeboom
Audible is pleased to present Light in August, by Nobel Prize-winning author William Faulkner.
An Oprah's Book Club Selection regarded as one of Faulkner's greatest and most accessible novels, Light in August is a timeless and riveting story of determination, tragedy, and hope. In Faulkner's iconic Yoknapatawpha County, race, sex, and religion collide around three memorable characters searching desperately for human connection and their own identities.
Audie Award-winning narrator Will Patton lends his voice to Light in August. Patton has narrated works by Ernest Hemingway, Don DeLillo, Pat Conroy, Denis Johson, Larry McMurtry, and James Lee Burke, and brings to this performance a keen understanding of Faulkner, an authentic feel for the South, and a virtuoso narrator's touch.
As an added bonus, when you purchase our Audible Modern Vanguard production of William Faulkner's book, you'll also receive an exclusive Jim Atlas interview. This interview – where James Atlas interviews James Lee Burke about the life and work of William Faulkner – begins as soon as the audiobook ends.
Be sure to check out Faulkner's The Wild Palms as well.
This production is part of our Audible Modern Vanguard line, a collection of important works from groundbreaking authors.

"For all his concern with the South, Faulkner was actually seeking out the nature of man. Thus we must turn to him for that continuity of moral purpose which made for the greatness of our classics." (Ralph Ellison)
Short, Simple, No Spoilers
"Perseverance in Face of Cruelty"
Faulkner is a bit intimidating and difficult to process. I read several of his books in school, but somehow missed this novel. "Light in August" is undoubtedly the easiest to enjoy.
In the fictional town of Yoknapatawpha County, Mississippi, the time period is just after the Civil War during a time of extreme racism while rebuilding. This theme is carried out by the main character, Joe Christmas, an angry man of mixed ethnic origin who doesn't know who his parents are and who rebels against prejudice, embarking on a murderous rampage as a cry for help. He's trying to find his way in the face of cruelty; committing unthinkable atrocities. The themes of violence, perseverance, and hope walk you through the story without judgment by Faulkner. You draw your own conclusions and are free to interpret as you wish. He is truly the voice of Southern literature.

"The Sweet, Caustic Syrup of the South"
I can see from some of the reviews that this book is heavy going for a lot of readers. And it is heavy going, no question about it. It's bleak and relentless but there are flashes of gold so pure and true that I felt not only was it worth it, but that without the darkness, the flashes of light would not have shone so brightly.
The language... oh, if you love poetic language and rich, fertile descriptions, this book is so linguistically erotic there were times when I felt almost embarrassed to be listening to it in a public place.
I can't believe it took me so long to get around to reading/listening to this. I'm so glad I did.

"Incredible narration to a spellbinding classic...."
I have tried many times to make it through a Faulkner novel, only to become frustrated with my inablility to follow the complicated (albeit brilliant) style of his writing. He and Joyce are the two greats that I have not read to finality with any of their novels that I have attempted. Consequently, I was delighted to see that Audible was publishing this audio book with Will Patton as the narrator. Having listened to at least a dozen of his readings, light dawned instantly that this was the answer to my predicament. I was confident that, with his assistance, Faulker would no longer be a puzzle that I could not solve. He would provide the roadmap to get me through the Mississippi terrain.
I was not wrong in my expectations and I have not been disappointed in Mr. Patton or Mr. Faulkner. Each time I pull into my parking place at work, or into the driveway at night, I am disappointed that I must wait to continue with the story. But it is such a prize that I want to stetch out the experience for as long as possible.
While I was not alive during the era he writes of, I can remember my youth in the South twenty years later. The storyline and culture are eerily familiar. The strands of human nature still woven into today's headlines. Mr. Pattons's voice is a welcome friend and contains not a trace of falsity to the Southern tongue. The story line is relevent today both as history and commentary. It is all here......and I cannot recommend it highly enough.
I hear voices. But maybe that's because there's always an Audible book in my ear.
"Cross this off the bucket list."
I've made it a LONG time without reading any William Faulkner. I decided it was time to cross it off my bucket list when I saw this had been narrated by Will Patton. The narration was first-rate, as expected. As to Faulkner ... it's not a fit for me. This was heavy, dark and dreary. A tough go. I appreciate Faulkner's gift for writing. It's singular. It's just not the kind of thing I want to read when I'm taking a break from the world.
Indiscriminate Reader
"The "accessible" Faulkner: lovely, hard, and cruel"
This is my first time reading the notoriously difficult Faulkner. I did not find Light in August to be particularly difficult, though it's also said to be his most accessible work. Faulker writes in a sort of sparse poetry that reminds me a little of Cormac McCarthy (though it's probably more appropriate to say that McCarthy reminds me of Faulkner). Faulkner is not as sparse, though; his prose requires a fair degree of sophistication to grasp and he weaves many, many themes through this novel, so I can see why he's considered a challenging read, especially in the era of YA ascendancy.
I was captivated by that prose very early. I was prepared to fall in love with Faulkner. The first act of the novel is compelling: the simple tale of a naive young woman named Lena Grove who leaves home in pursuit of the ne'er-do-well who done left her in an expectin' sorta way, possessing an almost childlike faith that it was all on account o' him not knowin' the situation and planning to send for her anyway once he's all settled, so once she catches up with him, the Lord will see to it that they is married like a couple with a baby comin' ought.
Yeah, right, and pigs will fly.
While the writing remained beautiful and poetic throughout the book, the third act, in which Faulkner wraps up all his themes, ties up all the loose ends, and brought it all home, dragged to the point that I thought he spent quite a few pages just indulging himself in the portentous importance of his own ponderous prose. It didn't diminish the genius of his writing, but it did wear on me, as someone who has developed a much greater appreciation for literary writing in the past few years, but still prizes storytelling as an essential ingredient in a great novel. The flashbacks and stream-of-consciousness chapters pile on, never becoming less finely written, but I started to see why Faulkner is considered "challenging"; the book starts out as a fine Southern tragedy, but dumps us deep in literary Faulkner-land by the end.
Also, this book is squirm-inducing in its beautiful and poetic rendering of the rankest misogyny and racism. The n-word abounds and yes, it's set in a time and place in which it would be unbelievable not to hear it flung about freely, but I found myself uncertain to the end just where Faulkner stood and what he was trying to say about his racially ambiguous anti-protagonist Christmas, who spends his life reflecting the world's contempt and abuse back at it. Joe Christmas grows up hard and mean and who can blame him? What I also found as horrific as it was authentic was the multi-layered hatred of all womankind, expressed through every single male character in one way or another, even the relatively sympathetic ones. Women in Light in August are the enemy even when they are self-sacrificing martyrs, oppressing men by the very act of martyrdom. I know it's fashionable to dismiss authorial intent, Death of the Author and all that, but man, methinks Faulkner had some issues with women. One of the most compelling passages in the book was the one explaining Christmas's solidarity with the unloving, hated adoptive father who beat him against his doormat of an adoptive mother who did nothing but try to comfort him. It was hard and true and ugly, and just left me awed at such prose that could fill me with such disquiet.
"She is like all the rest of them. Whether they are seventeen or fortyseven, when they finally come to surrender completely, it's going to be in words."
This was really quite an experience. One has to have a taste for Faulkner, I think, and I suspect people will have wildly varying emotional reactions to him. I was drawn into Light in August enough that I will certainly read Faulkner again. 4 stars, because the prose is truly Nobel-caliber, but the story became abstruse and, for me, hard to love by the end.
A fine performance by Will Patton, whose accent is Southern enough to be authentic without being so thick as to hinder clarity.
"good narration"
Will Patton did a really good job on this. I just didn't like many of the characters and when Christmas started beating a horse on the head, I gave up.
"Stellar Narration of Classic Faulkner"
Yes, with the warning that the depictions of people are often harsh, as are the characters' attitudes towards one another as individuals, and as members of their particular class or race.
The time and place are not unlike To Kill a Mockingbird. Rather than everything being from the point of view of one character, however, Light in August tells the same story, and the backstory, from the points of view of many of the characters.
ALL of them! Will Patton's delivery is spot on. His dialect is not an over-the-top, nonspecific Southern accent, but it has the subtle distinctions of class, culture, and geographic identity. I wish he narrated the Sound and the Fury. I'm finding even the sample tedious, and am not sure I will enjoy it because of the narrator.
I think the murdered woman would be interesting to know personally.
I hope that Audible will engage / encourage Will Patton to narrate more Faulkner and other books by Southern authors. He is able to keep you inside the character, even when delivering, "she said," or "he said," which is important to this listener.
"Enter the Deep South, enter history."
I had not read Faulkner for many decades and I recall how repetitive and thick the prose . But on Audible, especially with the expertise of this reader, the stream of consciousness was natural. The uncertainty of what the characters saw or felt or decided was a real enhancement to the storyline. Savored this .
"Great reading"
Will Patton is excellent. He captures every character and every moment perfectly. A master in my opinion.
"Deep, moving, personal"
Brilliantly told story with changing perspectives about human dramas, history, guilt and hope. Outstanding narration conveys the different personalities perfectly.
"wonderful novel and beautifuly read"
I am in awe over this performance, Will Patton briethed life into this novel, read it according to the mood, to the characters, giving individual voice to each one of them. This novel is a wonderful mix of poetry and triviality, the good in people and disgusting stupidy if not evil - all equally share their part. It is the mastery of the language of angels and people that let Faulkner create a world inhabited by pitiful creatures, good and bad, both having our sympathy...
"Slow in the extreme"
I never give up on a book. Well, I never have until this one. It's dreary, tedious, tells us every tiny moment in drawn-out misery and I can stand no more. The narration is similarly drearily drawled; I enjoyed his style for The Son, but it just reinforces how dull this story is here. I'll have to remain a philistine when it comes to Faulkner.

Coheed and Cambria Help Pay Fan's Mortgage
Listen to Coheed and Cambria Radio on iHeartRadio
A family of five and counting in Mississippi has a roof over its head thanks to Coheed and Cambria.
The prog-rockers donated $3,000 dollars to Cyndi Crouch after she reached out to friends and family via the website GoFundMe.
Crouch, who is expecting a fourth child, is a staff writer at the band's fansite CobaltAndCalcium.com. She explained that her family needed $3,500 to pay the mortgage and help deal with mounting debt after her husband's salary was garnished.
A day after she made her plea, Coheed and Cambria chipped in three grand. They said she's been there for them for so long and they deeply appreciate her never ending support.

Best Of :: La Vida
Oh, Pepe, you know what we like. Amazing chicken enchiladas with deep, dark mole negro, tender pork carnitas, heaping plates of green chile beef with rice and beans, and spicy, filling breakfast dishes (like kicky huevos rancheros) that've never done us wrong. We're especially fans of the unique Taco Monterrey, with dried beef, scrambled eggs, chiles, tomatoes, and onions wrapped up in a soft flour tortilla — that hits the spot no matter what time of day it is (although it always makes us ready for a siesta after we've filled our bellies).
Barrio Cafe chef Silvana Salcido Esparza turned 50 this year, and she was pissed. It wasn't the number of candles on her cake or years she's spent building her restaurant business on 16th Street — it was Arizona Senate Bill 1070. Esparza's been glued to the news and images of Arizona's Mexican community in all its lackluster glory on the big screen. "Oh, we have a vibrant community here," she says. "We just need a center for that community to really shine." So she started with her back wall. Esparza brought in El Moises to paint a mural, and then she was struck with a vision: a Calle of Murals. She set up a Facebook page, then an e-mail address, then a website. She has almost 20 artists and 500 Facebook fans. The first official "Calle 16" mural will go up in October. "They can't stop us," says Esparza. "I want the city to crawl back to us and ask where they can help."
Art with a political edge is what this town's been needing in the worst possible way, and Phoenix's new Arizona Latino Arts and Cultural Center/Galeria 147 has been delivering. In a state where Latinos are under the gun, both literally and metaphorically — from the Legislature, in the form of the ethnic studies ban and SB 1070, to Sheriff Joe Arpaio's notorious anti-immigrant sweeps of Hispanic neighborhoods — ALAC's providing an outlet for the indignation and outrage of an entire people. ALAC's debut presented works from old hands like painters Ramon Delgadillo and Luis Mena, in addition to new ones, such as muralist Francisco Garcia, whose work depicts the sacrifice, the pride, the victimization, and the beauty of Arizona Latinos. Out of the crucible of oppression often comes the stuff of great art, and ALAC/Galeria 147 seems to be proving that with its very existence.
It was a collection of tentacles coming out of a Starbucks mug. How could we not love it? And that's just one of the bizarre creations we got to see at the Mutant Piñata art show at Bragg's Pie Factory. This annual event never fails to tickle our imagination with papier-mâché vampires and anatomically correct (or so we're told) baboons. You may be used to candy-filled piñatas, but we're telling you that the real treat is the eye candy you'll see at this show. Leave the bat at home. The mutant piñata show happens each March, during Art Detour, and the word is that several pieces from last year's show — including a fabulous vampire by Tempe artist Mike Maas — will appear in the Scottsdale Museum of Contemporary Art's People's Biennial in October 2011.
Want to beat the crap out of Jan Brewer? Now's your chance — though at $85 a pop, we're not sure you'll want to deface your purchase. Leave it to Scott Jacobson — he of the impish grin and years in the middle of Arizona politics doing public affairs for a big, bad utility company. These days, Jacobson's pushing piñatas rather than power — though, really, his political spin on papier-mâché wields a strength of its own. E-mail him if you'd like one of his piñatas for your very own.
One of the best events of the year is the Dia de los Muertos festival, hosted by the Desert Botanical Garden on Halloween weekend and during the first week of November. The festivities include Mexican folk arts, storytelling, dance, and poetry, as well as a mercado with awesome wares for sale. Wander the garden paths and check out the ofrenda installations, pause to make crafts with the kids — like decorating your own calaca (smiling skull) mask or molded sugar skulls. There is enough pageantry and, yes, food to keep you entertained all day. Who knew celebrating death could be so fun?

An Open Conversation With an Open Data Czar
If data is "the new oil," then the Open Data Institute's 5,000 square feet building in London's trendy Shoreditch neighborhood is a huge oil field in the heart of the U.K. capital.
In the 18 months since it was established, the ODI — a hybrid non-profit data science school, research institute, startup accelerator, and business franchise — has been digging, mining, analyzing, and dealing in vast reserves of data. It has developed data training programs and courses for journalists, lawyers, executives, and practitioners, training over 300 people from 14 countries, including World Bank officials. It runs a corporate membership program with over 80 clients, who pay from £1000 to £50,000 per year. It conducts R&D on open data sets for internal research, public policy advocacy, social issues, and paying customers who want to know where the inefficiencies are, and where the potential for innovation is, particularly around financial data. And it's built an international franchise in 13 countries, with each franchisee paying 10% of their ODI-related work to HQ. 56% percent of its London office's income is from commercial work with revenues last year totaling £2 million. And in the spirit of open data that it champions, all of its financial and corporate data is made public on its web site.
The ODI's director Gavin Starks, a successful tech veteran with a degree in Astronomy, believes there is a strong business case to be made for governments, organizations and businesses to make most of their data open – that is, share it online to unlock its potential. Individuals, Mr. Starks believes, will eventually own their private data and license it back to companies in exchange for money, goods or services.
He recently sat down with The Wall Street Journal for an interview.
Edited excerpts:
WSJ: How big is big data?
Mr. Starks: We're in the 25th anniversary of the web this year. How many of today's biggest companies were around back then? Not many. The amount of data that exists is doubling roughly every two years. If you project that forward, what does that look like in 25 years' time? If you try envisaging open data as part of the whole data ecosystem, together with closed data — it will be bigger than the web is today.
WSJ: Is it reasonable for a company to take open data — a free resource — turn it around and sell it back to the people who created that data in the first place?
Mr. Starks: This is already a business model, in operation for decades, even pre-web. How did Google make money? It provides eyeballs, and it's able to do this because it aggregates all the free and open data from around the world so that people can find it. Companies take data from the public sector. This isn't just about taking data that we used to charge for and making it free. It's about saying, where do we stimulate open innovation in this world, and how do we let a million flowers bloom out of that rather than just a handful?
WSJ: If we produce all this big data, and it's open for others to use, have we lost control over it?
Mr. Starks: There's an interesting transition happening from centralized to decentralized, from massive data centralization mainframes to the edge. The transition we're going through now is from companies holding your data to you holding your data, and giving the companies a licensing fee for using it again. It's going to take another decade, but that's the curve we're on. That then gives a sense of control back to the user.
WSJ: How open have you found governments and businesses to be with their data?
Mr. Starks: Governments, cities, and corporates have for years made decisions based on computer modeling. It's a black box. Public services commission computer modeling agencies to delve into the data and work out what the impacts of different scenarios might be on a change in services. All of that process takes place in a black box. You can't really do smart cities without open data.
WSJ: What's the difference between open data and personal data, and is there not a danger that our personal data could be seen and used by others?
Mr. Starks: There is a difference between personal data and open data. Personal data is your individual health records, for example. The ODI would never classify that as open data, unless you had explicitly consented to that. Open Data is data that can be used by anyone for any purpose for free.
WSJ: What's in it for private companies to open up their data?
Mr. Starks: Why does Google have an open API for maps? What's the benefit to Google? For many years Google offered their maps for free, and now that company and its maps are huge. There's a good share-a-like model, which is really powerful online. US-based Red Hat, Inc. a billion dollar software company, took the open source operating system Linux and built an open source community around it. They now sell open source software. GitHub Inc, a US-based website for software developers to share and collaborate on code, has millions of developers using its site. If you want to use their service for free you have to open source your software. As soon as you click a closed repository, they charge you. Github raised $100 million in their Series A on a $750 million valuation. There's benefit for developers too: Github is one of the primary places any recruiter who knows what they're doing in the software industry goes to hire people. Who would have thought that this would be one of the outcomes for setting up a code-sharing repository? The net benefit is that more people engage in developing products.
This article has been amended to reflect that Red Hat built an open source community around Linux, and that Github raised $100 million in their Series A on a $750 million valuation.

BAYSIDE - A 21-year-old man with a criminal background faces a number of charges, including attempted murder, after a late-night stabbing on Sunday.
Around 11:45 p.m., RCMP said they were called to an assault that happened in a home on Prospect Road in Bayside.
When officers arrived, they found a 51-year-old suffering from several stab wounds. He was taken to hospital where he is listed in serious condition.
"There was a dispute that escalated," said Halifax RCMP spokeswoman Const. Heidi Stevenson.
"We're still trying to piece together what happened and why."
William Beckman, 21, faces 10 charges including attempted murder and assault with a weapon in relation to the stabbing.
He was arraigned in court Monday, and was remanded back into custody. Beckman is set to appear in court next on June 25.
Stevenson said both the accused and victim are known to one another, and reside in the home.
Dorine Zinck said her family has lived in the home a few doors down from where the stabbing took place for nearly 40 years, but "pretty much everybody" keeps to themselves in the neighbourhood.
On Monday afternoon, Zinck said she did not know the men who lived there but said they had moved in recently.
She said having a violent crime committed in the area was unusual.
"It … kind of shocks you. You know it's a really quiet place we have here," Zinck said. "Years ago you knew everybody."
RCMP officers were on the scene Monday afternoon and had blocked off the blue house and property with crime tape.
Chris Hansen, spokeswoman for the Public Prosecution Service, said Beckman was sentenced in May for other charges related to a November 2011 incident.
Hansen said those charges included two counts of break and enter and committing offence, failure to comply with conditions, and being at large on an undertaking.

STATEHOUSE (Feb. 25, 2013) — A bill to help law enforcement officers and educators collaborate to keep gang activity out of Indiana schools passed the full Senate today by a 50-0 vote.
State Sen. Brandt Hershman's (R-Buck Creek) Senate Bill 352 allows the Indiana Safe Schools Fund to be used to provide educational outreach and training to school personnel concerning the identification and prevention of criminal gang activity.
"I am very pleased to have the Senate's support for this bill," Hershman said. "It will enable educators and law enforcement officials to address shifting trends in gang activity."
Hershman said the impetus for SB 352 came from discussions he's had with Tippecanoe County officials, including Prosecutor Pat Harrington and Project Safe Neighborhoods Anti-Gang Initiatives Director Kathryn Redd, who see a need for educational policy regarding gang activity in Indiana schools. Indiana Superintendent of Public Instruction Glenda Ritz supports his legislation.
"We're seeing a disturbing trend in the spread of criminal gangs to suburban and rural areas through social media and non-traditional recruitment," Hershman said. "The sooner we can combat this, the better – and doing so is going to require collaboration among parents, school employees and local law enforcement officials."
SB 352 would also require school boards to put in place anti-gang policies and awareness programs using model materials developed by The Indiana Department of Education.
Hershman's bill now moves to the Indiana House of Representatives for further consideration.

Man charged with dumping drilling waste in Chagrin River tributary
(Cleveland) - A two-count criminal information was filed charging an Ohio man with discharging well drilling waste into Beecher Brook, a tributary of the Chagrin River.
In 2008, 45-year-old James Hidey of Dover worked for Great Plains Exploration, an oil and gas well drilling company based in Northeast Ohio. On two separate occasions in 2008, Hidey directed the discharge of brine into a stormwater sewer after the completion of gas wells in Mayfield Heights and Highland Heights. The brine flowed from the stormwater sewers into Beecher Brook and eventually into the Chargrin River, according to the information.
Brine is water with a high quantity of salt dissolved into it and is used during the drilling phase of the well installation. It must be handled and disposed of properly because of the toxicity of brine.
"Clean, fresh water is our greatest resource in Northern Ohio," U.S. Attorney Steven Dettelbach said. "We will aggressively investigate and prosecute cases in which people pollute Ohio's streams, rivers and lakes."
"Dumping toxic substances like brine into sewers and rivers can be extremely harmful to the environment and a real threat to Ohio families," said Ohio Attorney General Mike DeWine. "We will continue to work with our task force partners to enforce environmental protection laws and hold violators accountable."
"Our natural resources must be protected," said Randall K. Ashe, Special Agent in Charge of U.S. EPA's criminal enforcement program in Ohio. "We will continue to investigate and refer for prosecution anyone who commits crimes against the environment."

Recently the Congress passed and the President signed into law the most sweeping health care package since Medicare in 1965. It was done after many, many years of debate and arguing and hate and lies and mis-information. That said, finally it has been done. The opponents vow to repeal it, but no rational person thinks that will ever happen. It is now the law of the land. The passage of this bill is every bit as big as the passage of Social Security under FDR and the passage of Medicare under LBJ. History was made and there is no way to deny that simple fact. We are moving (as the most ardent opponents claimed) toward a system of free (tax based) health care for all Americans. That is the goal. The question is, is that your goal? Is that what you think should happen? And if yes or no, why or why not?
I personally believe in a taxpayer supported, single payer health care system for all where a person just walks into a hospital or clinic, is evaluated as to their medical problem and is treated for that particular problem, including the right drugs for that treatment, surgery if needed and that there should never be any bill for services of drugs or treatment presented to the patient....ever. I think that health care is a right in America (even if it can be argued that it's not Constitutional (though I believe it it is under "promote the general welfare").
Still, in many ways, if it is or is not a Constitutional right is really a moot point. The thing we need to consider is, is it a human right? It clearly is. While I believe it is a Constitutional right, that really is just a distraction, a side show. It really doesn't matter if it is or is not. There were a great many rights left out of the Constitution. For instance does a woman have a right not to be raped? Of course she does, but can anyone point out to me the part of the Constitution that says so?
So many people seem to be hung up on a literal interpretation of the Constitution (just like with the bible) that they seem to miss the spirit of the document. In the original Constitution any one who was not a white land owner could not vote and was considered to be 3/5ths of a person. Yes, we corrected that through amendments and other interpretations of the Constitution and it's time we did the same concerning issues such as health care and even gay rights.
This document, which I hold in the highest esteem, is a living and breathing and adaptable creature. The simple beauty of it is it's adaptability, it's ability to be seen in new lights as American society grows. It is not cast in iron or carved in rock and it was never meant to be. I have no doubt that the Founding Fathers saw it as a template. A template the should be laid on whatever America became or becomes and be adjusted to fit. It is not a ruler, it is a guide.
In my image of America it is not everyone for his or her self. I don't buy that republican image of America. It is not I got mine and to hell with everyone else. It is not the survival of the fittest. In my America, it is the tens of thousands of small towns across this great country like the one I grew up in. It's neighbor looking out for neighbor. It's friend helping friend. It's the family across the street that you may have only met once or twice if at all and then a storm comes through and knocks a tree on their house or their child is sick or if one of the couple is dying and you take those steps to go to them to offer them help, hope, friendship, food, water and comfort because they are Americans too. Because they are a part of your family. You reach out to them because, in my America, we do for each other.
When a friends slaughterhouse burnt down and they couldn't have kept up with the insurance (and this did happen), in my town and in my America we took up a collection and rebuilt their business. Not because it was just the right thing to do for our town, but because it was simply the right thing to do.
When sitting warm and cozy up to the bar at the local tavern on a cold winter's night and someone came in and said that the Schwartz farm had a barn collapse from heavy snow, the gathering together of chainsaws and food and coffee and muscle was not "every man for himself", it was automatic. It was just what you did because, even if you barely knew Lynn Schwartz (and I did), you knew he couldn't continue to farm, to continue his livelihood, without those trapped cows. It was the right thing to do.
Health care is just like that. I have great health care. I have wonderful insurance coverage, but that's not the point. There have been times in the past when I didn't have any coverage at all and that may happen again in the future. I wish I could include those of my friends who don't have as good of health care coverage under my plan and this legislation gives me a chance to do that, because I know (or hope) that my fellow Americans would and want to do the same thing for me if and when I need it.
Do everything you can to extend health care to those who don't have it. If you must do it because it's the right financial thing to do. If that doesn't move you then, depending on your religion, do it because it's the Christian thing to do. If you are (as I am) an atheist, then do it because it's the American thing to do. No matter your motivation, do it because it is the right thing to do and you know in your heart it is.

i just bought the OTR.080 scrawl pen ..not happy with it....fuck i need me sum brake fluid and inks ;-P
yeahhh just get a meanstreak bro.
my friend just got the .60 FlowPen and its writes like a mofo i love the ink but its not drippy at all the only thing it dripped on was my jacket... kinda pissed bout that but its writes fuckin dope the ink flows smooth as hell
well the flowpen itself is good, not good ink though.
So the verdict
OTR'S in general?
and what about Krink?
the marker is good, not the ink.
the paint ones streak way too much.
krink is great. the ink flows good,
but if you're getting a silver one just get a silver unipaint.
i like the black ink the flowpen came with.. its smooth as hell and writes even. but i havent used there other stuff. i dunno about its permanence though...
well the worst marker in the whole world id have to say is the krylon paint markeers those pieces of shit are horrible
sharpie magnums have to be up there with the worst markers.
or, you could just go to your local art supply store and get a five finger discount. thats what i do, i never have regrets doing that shit. obviously i have preferences though
since the pictures are deleted i can only speak from my experience with on the run. i found there mops to be very basic and nothing special. i am a firm believer in empty 2oz mops. the only really nice product that i can honestly say stands out from the rest is there mini flowpen or really mini anything. all there markers with 15mm nibs are pretty solid. and they have that really small one with the sharpie sized pen that seems really cool.

16th Annual Sugar Bowl Classic ~ January 2, 1950
Things didn't start the way they finished. Not by a longshot.
"We actually started off well," Tiger back Kenny Konz said later. "We started like we had been playing during the regular season, pretty efficiently. Things at that point were going well."
For 15 minutes the LSU line actually outperformed Bud Wilkerson's alternating units. In two possessions, the Tigers reached the Sooners 15, then the 35.
Sooners quarterback Darrell Royal had to change things up to cope with the LSU defense. "Our drop-back passes were completely useless because they knew exactly what was coming," Royal said. "The passes I did complete were a new set of plays that we didn't practice."
This is how well LSU was playing early against the eight-point favorite Sooners: Nine plays into the second quarter, Royal went to his alternate plan, lateralling to halfback Lindell Pearson, who threw to a wide-open Bobby Goad 40 yards downfield on the 8. The Sooners never did score as LSU held on fourth down inside the 1.
Everything changed in the second quarter with a short drive after an LSU's punt, and a lost fumble. George Thomas going in on a 27-yard pass and a 5-yard run.
Konz seemingly gave LSU a chance to get back in it with a punt that came to rest at the OU 14. Fullback Leon Heath then wheeled out of the Sooner split-T and blazed 86 yards, the longest scoring run of all the previous Sugar Bowls, to effectively end the game.
Armand Kitto, a 157-pound LSU end who chased Heath the length of the field, said,"...They say on a long run like that, a bear will jump on the runner's back. Well, I just kept waiting for the bear to jump on him and, instead, he jumped on me."
Another lost fumble and interception near the LSU goal led to two more Oklahoma touchdowns, ballooning the score.
In the first 15 games the Sugar Bowl had a remarkable matchmaking record with an average of seven points separating the opponents. The 1950 game remains the worst scoring differential in Sugar Bowl history. The headline in the Dallas News of January 3 read: "Oklahoma Overpowers Minor League LSU Team," ignoring the fact that LSU had beaten both Rice and North Carolina, the Cotton Bowl participants.
Wilkerson graciously understated the SEC's eighth defeat in 12 Sugar Bowls when he said, "If we played LSU a dozen times we'd never play that well against them again, or score that many points. They're too good a team."
This was probably why the Sooners coach didn't take out his regulars until approximately three minutes remained in the game and the score stood at its final 35-0.
Recap excerpted from the book "Sugar Bowl Classic: A History" by Marty Mulé, who covered the game and the organization for decades for the New Orleans Times-Picayune.

A piece of the late Philip Johnson's lesser-known architectural legacy is for sale. The 1954 Wiley Speculative House in New Canaan, Conn., was completed post-Glass House (located in the same town), but pre-Seagram Building. William Pitt Sotheby's International Realty is listing the property for $1,575,000.
The three-bedroom, three-bath house was designed for the Wiley Development Co. as a speculative house, but others were never constructed. Two additions in the 1960s morphed the L-shaped house into the U-shape it is today.
Johnson, who died in 2005 at 98 years old, won both the 1979 Pritzker Prize and the 1978 AIA Gold Medal.

Softball Opens MAC Tournament With 3-1 Loss To WMU
AKRON, Ohio - - The top seeded Ball State softball team opened play in the 2012 Mid-American Conference Tournament with a 3-1 loss to No. 5 seed Western Michigan Thursday evening at Firestone Stadium.
With the loss, the Cardinals (39-14) will play No. 3 seed Bowling Green at 11 a.m. Friday morning. Western Michigan, which picks up its third win of the tournament and improves to 28-23 on the year, advances to play the winner of No. 2 Miami vs. No. 6 Central Michigan at 5 p.m. Friday.
Freshman designated player Hanne Stuedemann (Mattawan, Mich./Mattawan) gave the Cardinals a spark in the top of the seventh, blasting her seventh home run of the season to cut WMU's lead to 3-1. Ball State would go on to load the bases with one out, but WMU pitcher Meredith Whitney struck out the next two batters to lock down the win for the Broncos.
Ball State finished the game with four hits, including singles from sophomore left fielder Jennifer Gilbert (McKinney, Texas/McKinney), sophomore third baseman Audrey Bickel (Munster, Ind./Andrean) and junior center fielder Amanda Carpenter (Santee, Calif./Santana).
In improving to 19-12 on the year, Whitney limited the Cardinals to one run on four hits, while striking out 13 batters.
Western Michigan scored its first two runs in the top of the first thanks to a two-run double from Gracie Barstad. The Broncos would add a third run in the top of the second on a leadoff homer from Elisha Handshoe.
Senior pitcher Audrey Workman (Wickenburg, Ariz./Yavapai) would keep the WMU offense in check from there, holding them to just two hits over the final five innings. In all, Workman allowed three runs on five hits while striking out four batters.Ball State would add its NCAA-leading 32nd double play of the season to end the third inning, while a spectacular diving grab from senior shortstop Alison Mercado (Perris, Calif./Arizona Western College) ended the sixth.

We're not handy people, as you might have guessed, but I was pretty sure the hacksaw the husband borrowed was not going to do the job. It seemed like it would be like cutting the trunk with a steak knife.
Does anyone else hear the "mood" of songs differently when they feel strongly one way or another at the time? This happens to me a lot, especially if the lyrics are vague. For instance, take "Never Let Me Go" by Florence and the Machine. I heard the song for the first time and I thought "Wow, this is a somber-yet-strong-and-optimistic song". Now that I'm sad at the moment, I heard the song again and I'm thinking it's the most depressing thing I've ever heard.
I love Fields of Gold by Sting, but the song has changed for me since my BIL died as we sang it at his funeral a la Eva Cassidy. It's still beautiful, but now it's poignant too.
I haven't finished the entire thread, but I have a stupid fashion question. I hope this hasn't been brought up before. Probably not - it's really dumb!I have a lovely pair of brown high-heeled shoes that I would love to wear with my (several) brown or green skirts. The problem? I can only wear said shoes with socks or tights, otherwise they give me blisters. I vastly prefer socks or thigh-highs, and despise panty-hose. I only have black socks and tights (50% of my wardrobe is black...). This looks stupid to me, so I don't end up wearing my brown shoes, and only wear said skirts with my brown boots, where this isn't a problem.So, if you were wearing brown shoes and a brown or green longish skirt (below the knee to mid-calf) what color socks or tights would you wear? White is too jarring. I hate taupe or nude pantyhose.Help?P.S. Yeah, I know, really dumb.
Okay, I thought I knew all the acronyms used here but I've read a new in two separate posts now and can't guess from the context. What does JADE/JADE-ing mean? Also, I know DD, DS, DF and DH but I still get tripped up over DP - Dear Parter? Parent? Possum?

In Japanese folklore, a ghost that arise from the burial of a pregnant woman is an Ubume.
The Summer of Ubume is the first of Japan's hugely popular Kyogokudo series, which has 9 titles and 4 spinoffs thus far.
Akihiko "Kyogokudo" Chuzenji, the title's hero, is an exorcist with a twist: he doesn't blieve in ghosts. To circumnavigate his clients' inability to come to grips with a problem being their own, he creates fake supernatural explanations--ghosts--that he the "exorcises" by way of staged rituals. His patients' belief that he has vanquished the ghost creating their problems cures them.
In this first adventure, Kyogokudo, must unravel the mystery of a woman who has been pregnant for 20 months and find her husband, who disappeared two months into the pregnancy. And unravel he does, in the book's final disturbing scene.
"synopsis" may belong to another edition of this title.
Natsuhiko Kyogoku is an expert in Japanese folklore, especially monsters, ghosts, and supernatural phenomena. Having never been published before, he brought the manuscript of The Summer of Ubume to the publisher himself, and it debuted in 1994 with great success. The unusual nature of how the title got published and its success inspired the creation of the Mephisto Award, which honors new mystery and fantasy writers.
The second book of this series won the Japan Mystery Writers Association Award in 1996. Kyogoku won the prestigious Naoki Prize in 2004.
