Today began in much the same way that any other day at the GRC begins. We awoke from our restless sleep after having woken up multiple times in the night due to the thick, moist (ewwwwwwwww) heat and our lovely neighbors reminding us to "don't stop believing" in A minor at two in the morning. The Wittenberg Crew stumbled in to the 5-star cafeteria where we were greeted to a lovely layout of the "extra deliciousness" we have become accustomed to. For those who believe that the Bahamas trip was nothing but fun and games… YOU WERE WRONG!!!We started today by collecting data for our research projects which we will complete upon returning to Witt in the fall. The majority of the groups conducted their research at sand dollar reef while a smaller group continued on to collect data at bonefish bay. During our data collection we were able to yet again experience the beautiful tropical reefs of San Salvador which keep us so enthusiastic about learning day after day. As our data collecting came to an end we returned to the GRC briefly for lunch before heading back out to the south east tip of San Salvador where we were to swim miles and miles across the thunderous waves of the sea (ok maybe a couple meters or two through calm and shallow waters) from Snow Bay to High Cay. High Cay is the largest of a small chain of cays which consist of High Cay, Middle Cay, and yup you guessed it… Low Cay. High Cay is supposedly where Christopher Columbus first caught a glimpse of the "new world" before making landfall on the main island of San Salvador the next day. The water along the beaches of Snow Bay reminded us of a warm and welcoming Jacuzzi, which was not as appreciated as you may think, especially on this cool 910 day. As we began the long swim across the bay Coco Thunder and Poseidon became proud fathers of the ocean along the way their sons names were Jeffery and Bumper who were two pompano fish which decided they would accompany the group for the entire swim across the bay. Arriving at High Cay did not come without its casualties; several individuals of the Witt Crew suffered from minor stings from the hydroids hiding in the turtle grass along the way and unhappily found that we had forgotten to bring the vinegar with us on the trip. We then proceeded to hike around the base of the cay to the backside where we hiked up a steep brush covered slope. Upon reaching the summit we observed an osprey nest and the Atlantic Ocean for as far as the eye can see; we could even observe the curvature of the earth from this viewpoint. Looking out across this vast expanse of water knowing the next body of land you would be able to see is Africa made us all feel a little small. After a group photo at the summit we began our decent to the beach where we had left all of our gear after the swim. However we didn't leave until resting for a little while in the small tiki hut that had previously been built on the beach. After the long hot swim back to the truck we were running a little late so as soon as we were packed JW showed us his true skills as a NASCAR driver working the truck through its gears as if he were racing in the Daytona 500. We made it back to the GRC only slightly late for dinner but in plenty of time for the first of the group phylum presentations. Bahamas <3.

Seattle Seahawks
Arizona Cardinals
And now it's....
...Storytime with SaveourSonics!
We take you to the away teams sideline on Sunday, where Pete and the players get set for kickoff
Pete Carroll: Alright guys this is where we put a stamp on the 2012 season and show the rest of the league that we're a team to be reckoned with!
Several Players: Yea!
Carroll: On 3 lemme hear COMPETE! 1-2-3...
Team: COMPETE!!!
Carroll: Let's get warmed up boys!
Marcus Trufant: Coach, where's Matt Hasselbeck at? I was gonna go over some last minute game adjustments with him.
Carroll: Hasselbeck? Well I'm not exactly sure but I assume Tennesseee. You know he's not on the team anymore....right?
Trufant: Say whut!? If Hasselbeck isn't on the team who the hell is our QB? Trent Dilfer?
Carroll: Sweet Neptune, no, that guy just spends his days pretending to be a good QB.
Max Unger: Coach, I can't find Tarvaris anywhere.
Carroll: Well, did you look in Buffalo?
Unger: No, why would he be at Buffalo Wild Wings? I know their Sunday deals are great on the Plate O' Wings, but he takes this game too seriously to eat on the job.
Carroll: Buffalo Wild....what the hell are you people talking about? We traded Tarvaris to the Buffalo Bills, do you people even read the news paper these days? Or even show up to practice?
Unger: Well golly coach, you could've told us you traded him! Now who to we look to as our starter!?
Carroll: Russell Wilson....and I did tell you. We had a big press conference about the whole thing....
Carroll: Raise your hand if you're an idiot.
Unger: Doh....uh....
Leroy Hill: Coach! Coach! Pete! Petey! Peeeeete! Coach Pete! Peter!
Carroll: YES LEROY WHAT I'M RIGHT HERE!?
Hill: Coach, I think the Cardinals are planning something big.
Carroll: What do you mean son? Do they have some kinda trick play they're planning to use?
Hill: Even worse....I was just down in the locker room checking on my taking a pregame wiz when I look up on the TV to see Kurt Warner as one of the analysts on NFL Network. Now, I could be wrong, but I'm pretty sure he can't be here and there at the same time.
Carroll: Wow....when was the last time you were drug tested?
Hill: Coach, I don't know what to do. I've been studying game tape of Kurt Warner all week.
Carroll: You have? Good god....I should really pay attention to what you guys do more.
Carroll: Hi. Mom? All of my players are acting really weird. Do you have any advice?
Matt Flynn: *takes Pete's phone and hangs it up* No need to call me Coach, I'm right here.
Carroll: That was my moth--
Flynn: No, really, you don't need to thank me for saving your minutes. I just wanted to tell you that I'm really excited to start today. I know I'll prove to you I'm a franchise guy.
Carroll: Wow, you really don't know who's starting? You're on the bench Matt.
Flynn: Haha, good joke. I thought that was all just one of your funny pranks you always pull. Ha. Ha. Are you doing this because I wore my hat backwards!? I'M SORRY, I SWEAR I'LL NEVER DO IT AGAIN, SEE!! I'LL DANCE LIKE YOUR LITTLE MONKEY!
Ken Whisenhunt: Pete, I gotta be honest with ya buddy. If you could tell your guys to take it easy on Skelton I'd really appreciate it. Otherwise we have to put Kolb in and no one wants to see that....not even you.
The game goes to the 4th quarter where Russell Wilson is driving for the winning touchdown
Warren Moon: 3rd and 6. Wilson takes the snap....pass rush coming to his left, he escapes the pressure! Runs to the right and he's being chased from behind! He gets the 1st down!
Dave Sims: But it looks as if he's down and holding his pinky finger on his non-throwing hand! This could be a really serious injury that happens to sit him out for the remainder of this game that only has 10 seconds left!
Moon: I'm curious to see what Pete does here and Portis isn't on the active roster and Flynn is reportedly ruled questionable for return with a bruised ego.
Back down to the sideline where there is chaos over what the team has to do.
Darrell Bevell: Pete! What're we gonna do! This is for the game and we have no one to take the snap.
Tom Cable: We're doomed Pete, DOOMED! I see no other way out!
Carroll: You guys! Get ahold of yourselves! We still have one option!
Cable: Oh god...you don't mean -- no, we could never do it. It's too dangerous!
Bevell: But Pete what about the children!? Think of the children!
Carroll: I'm sure guys...but it has to be done................
Now let's get some predictions and pregame chatter up in here. It's time to open up the promising 2012 season versus the ugly Cardinals. As always,
Give 'em hell
Prediction: 31-13 W
And we have a
Rivalry Alert
! The Seahawks were 1-1 against the Cardinals last season, defeating them at home against Kevin Kolb but losing on the road against Jon Skelton. Skelton has been named the starter for this game but I feel this team is much improved and should handle a questionable Cardinals team quite easily. Russell Wilson looks decent, but it's the running game that really gets us going as Marshawn goes for 100+ yards and 2 TDs. Braylon Edwards has a big game as well and the defense intercepts a turnover-prone Cardinals offense 3 times. The game is never really close after the first half. The season series between these two teams has tended to be split 1-1 in recent seasons, though this is the first year in a while that Seattle may have the noticeably better team.
Offensive player of the game:
Marshawn Lynch
- Russell Wilson is getting all the hype from our team, but Lynch has reportedly been the best looking offensive player all offseason and looks primed for a breakout season in 2012 after working hard this offseason.
Defensive player of the game:
Kam Chancellor
- Chancellor has looked even better this offseason than he did last year and he appears ready to take someone's head off. I think he definitely account for at least one of the turnovers in this game and is all over the field with another big hit.
I have a lot of confidence in this game. I think we come out week 1 and really show the league we're for real. Hopefully we don't disappoint. Pride in
, go Hawks.

Should be a great game. Should be interesting to see how we come out with Wilson, and how he comes out with us. I expect there to be a slow approach to start and then a few trick plays/misdirections here and there to try to throw the cardinals off....followed by a steady balanced offensive gameplan for the remainder. Pete always likes to do the opposite of what's expected
Most important thing to improve for us this year? TOP. We need to come out and control the game, keep the defense rested and withhold a steady rhythm throughout. Our offense was completely unfair to our defense at times last year, too many three and outs. Especially in the first quarter
I'll be looking for at least 5 first downs in the 1st QTR next sunday, thats a good start. Hopefully wilson can get through this without a TO, he doesn't seem like the type to get rattled or lose confidence...but this is still a division rivalry game, on the road for his first career start. Don't need any unnecessary influence.

Good god, by the time I got done reading all of that my left eye stopped working.
Very good story SoS, You weren't very far off of the score prediction from my thinking, I have the Hawks winning 35-10.

Not to stir the pot (but to stir the pot) i doubt we win by as much as you guys think. They may struggle on offense, but that doesn mean their defense isn't still a top 15 unit at its worst. I'd be suprised if we got much more than 20-24 in this game. Actually, i'd be willing to bet we dont surpass 28 in this game and i'm 90% sure we don't get there. I do think our D will hold them to the teens or less, but that doesn mean we are just going to light up the scoreboard. The most points scored against AZ last year was 34, we're not passing that coming out week one IMO. It's not doubting the seahawks, as much as it is respecting our opponent. Lets not get carried away

Should be a good game, I expect the score to be close but for the Seahawks to control the game if that makes sense. You know those games where the score makes the game seem closer than it actually was. Anyway, the cardinals offense is in constant disarray other than fitz but their defense is still pretty legit, they were one of the better units late in the season.

I agree. I expect a bit of miscommunication, especially with guys like Zach Miller and Doug Baldwin, who haven't had a lot of game time (if any) with Russ.
The D will be fine though.

Saw on Hawk Blogger's twitter that he retweeted some random person saying that they saw Tate on crutches at the UW game and sound's like he will most likely miss 2-3 weeks wouldn't surprise me in the bit his knee bent in a awkward position.
Funny story by the way SOS don't know if we will blow them out i think it will be lower scoring only because we will rely on the run game a lot.

Nice job on, not only the story, but on getting this thread going so early, SoS.
My keys to the game, as they always are, are O and D line. Obviously, the Cards are a hot mess on their O-line and that could spell disaster for Skelton and/or Kolb. We MUST get a consistent push into their backfield. Our run D should be around the top 5 so Beanie Wells doesn't really concern me, but we have to get pressure on Skelton consistently and we must legally rough him up to stop him from getting into a rhythm with Larry Fitzgerald. That's the one offensive weapon that they have that we don't have much of an answer for. He torched us last year, even after we bruised his lung and had him coughing up blood. I would definitely be willing to bring some heat via the blitz early to see what Skelton is made of. The loss of Levi Brown for the Cards could prove devastating and we need to exploit that.
For our O-line, we really need to get our run game going early to take the pressure off Wilson. As someone already stated, the Cards D is still a higher end D in the league and they can cause fits for even the best QB's, with their defensive play calling. With our O-line being much better in run blocking than in pass pro, we need to establish a domination of the LoS and open big holes for Lynch and Turbin to pound and soften up the interior of the Cards D. That should open up the play action for Wilson and make his life a lot easier. I'm just as excited as everyone else in here to see what Wilson can do during the regular season, but I'm also pretty conservative about just throwing a guy out there and putting the whole O on his shoulders.
I'm going to predict a grinder of a game, but I think our D will be better than Arizona's and our ball hawking secondary will make plays on Skelton and get the turnovers necessary to get us the win.
Seahawks 17
Cardinals 9
Consistent application beats complex programming.

I can't call this game a blow out for us on the ROAD. Skelton does not look pretty but seems to get in done. Wilson has the tools to make it look easy and scrap games out for wins as well. Wilson looked good against kc but I took in account what their fans were saying about injuries and the radiers, was he holding back or did he just have a bad day? To many question marks for me on game day to call it a win. If Wilson can make the passing game a legit threat then our running game will explode. Martin must of already been inked in against the radiers because he only saw one pass that game from Flynn. I expect him to get some short tosses from Wilson in 1 on 1 coverage to get a groove on. Baldwin should get seperation for catches 10+ yards. Then Rice will get a TD bomb and catches 20+ yards. Once the Hawks force AZ to spread the field our running game will take over. I believe AZ plan is to stop the run 1st and let Wilson prove himself in the NFL.
Our D will fustrate them but will Skelton hang in making plays happen with fitz? We will need a turnover early on D or special teams to give Wilson a extra series in good field position.
If the game plan comes togethor and Wilson starts seeing himself for real in the NFL then we win 20-10. If Wilson has 2 ints and many 3 and outs our running game will be stuffed and lose 6-17.

Looking forward to see Russell Wilson silence his critics once again. They've stopped saying he's too short to play. Now it's the defenses game planning for him.

I agree; however, I think we are going to get a score on D or special teams to make it 31-17.
The biggest mismatch in this game is going to be our Dline vs their Oline. They are in absolute shambles right now. Clem, Jones, Bryant, Branch, Bane, and Irvin are going to have a field day. The further we get up, the more sacks we are going to get. Def think we have a pick 6 or a fumble returned for TD.

Cellphone users will be warned before hitting plan limits
A deal between the government and the wireless industry, to be announced today, will give users of cellphones and other mobile devices warnings before they exceed monthly talk, text or data limits.
At least two of the alerts, which also include one for international roaming charges, will be implemented within 12 months, all within 18 months, under the member guidelines adopted by the Cellular Telecommunications Industry Association and prompted by the Federal Communications Commission. CTIA members cover 97% of U.S. wireless customers.
Consumer complaints led the FCC last October to consider mandating such alerts via voice or text when subscribers near or pass limits. The FCC last year studied "bill shock" and found that one in six mobile users had seen unexpected jumps in monthly wireless bills, 23% of them by $100 or more. Carriers moved to work with the FCC on voluntary guidelines before it proposed rules.
The agreement is a "victory for more than 300 million wireless consumers," said FCC Chairman Julius Genachowski in a statement. "These alerts will give consumers the information they need to save money on their monthly wireless bills."
The deal addresses consumer interests without the weight on the industry of new regulations, said CTIA President Steve Largent.
And it got the blessing of President Obama, who said in a statement, "Our phones shouldn't cost us more than the monthly rent or mortgage. So I appreciate the mobile phone companies' willingness to … join us in our overall and ongoing efforts to protect American consumers."
Although the alerts might provide consumers with more protection, Gartner analyst Phillip Redman said, "There's no guarantee that would eliminate overage charges. … What's needed is clearer pricing and cellular companies working harder to better align users with the proper plan."

Hello Purdue Polytechnic Institute at Lafayette Students. My name is Michael Shirley, Spring 2013 Purdue Polytechnic at Lafayette Ambassador President. I am honored to be elected to this position by my peers and excited for this opportunity to share how the Purdue Polytechnic at Lafayette can make a difference in your life. I am also eager to inform you of some upcoming opportunities my fellow Ambassadors and I are planning to serve our academic and surrounding communities.
The Purdue Polytechnic at Lafayette was created with your educational needs in mind. If you are looking for a higher education program from a university with worldwide recognition, one that will consistently challenge you personally and academically, and in the end help propel your career, you are in the right spot. The Purdue Polytechnic at Lafayette offers certificates and undergraduate degrees in Organizational Leadership and Supervision. Programs designed with the working adult in mind with classes during the daytime, evening, and online as well.
If you have been with the Purdue Polytechnic at Lafayette for a while, you will have realized just how difficult a juggling act it can be between work, school and family life. You also know just how important and beneficial your current educational challenges are to your future and why you stretch yourself so thin to meet all of these daily demands. If this describes you, the Ambassador program is a place to try something different than the traditional classroom structure and showcase all of the knowledge, skills, and abilities that you have gathered from the countless hours in the classrooms. This program will also allow you to share your new talents with students that have not been at the Purdue Polytechnic as long and may need guidance towards successful attainment of their degrees as well. This program will also allow you to give back to the community through application of your skills at service organizations in and around Greater Lafayette.
This semester the Ambassadors plan to hold several student appreciation events, coordinate recruitment events for the Purdue Polytechnic, plan and coordinate graduation ceremonies (A big thank you from myself and the others graduating this semester!), and working with the Habitat for Humanity of Lafayette ReStore on fundraising to help this worthwhile organization. Most importantly though, the Ambassadors are there to help the rest of the Purdue Polytechnic students in any way needed by acting as a liaison with the college and giving general advice, so feel free to approach any of the Ambassadors with any issues that you may be experiencing as they are your representatives.
Finally, no matter what you reasons are for attending the Purdue Polytechnic at Lafayette, or thinking about enrolling at the Purdue Polytechnic, I feel that it is the right place to get the world class education in an environment that takes the students' needs in to account and really cares about your success. I encourage you to read through the information on our website and/or contact a friendly staff member or Student Ambassador to help with any questions to get you started!
Thank you for the opportunity to share a little about our Purdue Polytechnic in the Lafayette community and the Ambassador program. I look forward to seeing you in class and around campus. Boiler Up!

Looking forward to representing and serving you as the Purdue Polytechnic Ambassador for the Spring semester.
Ryler Rawlings
Hi, my name is Ryler Rawlings and I'm a senior in the Purdue Polytechnic. After having had a multitude of jobs ranging from working as an insurance agent to farming, I realized it was time to find a career. I started my college career, as many kids do, right after high school. I completed two years with marginal grades then took a summer job in sales and thought that money was more important than finishing my education, so I didn't go back in the fall. Eight years and many jobs later I knew there was only one thing to do and that was finish my education, the Purdue Polytechnic Institute was a perfect fit. The Purdue Polytechnic allows me to both work full time and attend class full time while receiving several scholarships to cover expenses. It also gives me the freedom to pursue my hobby of flying. I realized it was never too late to get a degree and I'm more than excited to graduate this December.
Nick Ruhana
I am a senior with an expected graduation date in May. I love working hard towards my goals and ambitions.
Sheryl Schaible
I work a 40 hour a week and take classes. I am a sophomore and would just like to say that you are never too old to continue your education. I didn't start again until I was 50 years old and am so glad I did it.

Expected graduation date: May 2014
Works in Human Resources at Wabash Center
My goal as an Ambassador is to educate the community as to the benefit of the Purdue Polytechnic and to help my fellow students get the most out of their college experience.
Dan Winger
The older you get the more important it is to continue your education. The Purdue Polytechnic at Lafayette enables me to strengthened my position as a valued employee.

Research ››› ››› NICOLE CASTA
Appearing August 8 on Fox News' Hannity & Colmes to discuss his controversial August 3 remarks regarding embryonic stem cell research, Focus on the Family founder and chairman James C. Dobson continued to describe a "relationship" between embryonic stem cell research and the Nazi experiments conducted on live human patients during and prior to the Holocaust, though he claimed that he didn't "equate" the two in his August 3 remarks. Host Sean Hannity defended Dobson, saying to him, "You said if any ethics or morality is removed, then you have Nazi Germany. You were very clear. You weren't making a comparison."
In his August 5 radio show dedicated to defending his August 3 comments, Dobson "categorically" rejected apologizing to "the Jewish people" and characterized suggestions that he should do so as "just off the wall." He also told listeners to tune in to his August 8 Hannity & Colmes appearance. Dobson noted that he had turned down NBC and "virtually every network" but would appear on Hannity & Colmes because the interview would be "live to tape" rather than "edited," adding that he "will not do edited work."
From the August 8 edition of Fox News' Hannity & Colmes:
DOBSON: I didn't equate stem cell research, embryonic stem cell research, with what the Nazis did in the concentration camps, which was horrible -- the suffering, the agony, the surgeries without benefit of anesthetics, and so on. It's obviously very different than killing a cell, a single cell, or 100 of them. But it's still -- the philosophy behind it was to kill a human being for utilitarian purposes. And that's wrong. That's wrong.
DOBSON: Well, I was talking about the philosophy behind the two. Admittedly, you know -- and I've done a lot of studying of the concentration camps, and I just -- it boggles the mind to see what happened there. And there's no way that that was being minimized by what I talked about.
But what I was saying is that life is life, and you can't begin killing human beings at any age for a utilitarian purpose in order to use them for science or for other people. Once you start that, there's no place to stop.
I think it was wrong. It crossed an ethical line. And I don't back off a bit from saying that.
HANNITY: Dr. Dobson, welcome back. Sean Hannity here. I am pro-life. You are pro-life. We believe that life is precious, that it is God-given, that life begins at conception, correct?
DOBSON: Oh, without question. That's right. That's why this issue is so important to us.
HANNITY: And that's why -- you know, if we talk about this, we talk about it come from that vantage point. Because I read your comments. As a matter of fact, I read them a few times. I wanted to make sure we got it right, here.
But you were talking about ethics and morality. And science must be guided by that. You said if any ethics or morality is removed, then you have Nazi Germany. You were very clear. You weren't making a comparison.
DOBSON: Sean, it was only one paragraph that people have overreacted to and distorted, by the way. But the point is that you just cannot kill people in order -- let me put it this way: Science has always been guided by ethics and morality. There have always been things that we could have done and we didn't do because it was wrong to do them.
HANNITY: Right.
DOBSON: That's always been true, except in Nazi Germany. That was the exception, and that's where there was no morality, and there were no ethics. And so to that degree, there is a relationship.
Dobson's original statement, from the August 3 edition of the Focus on the Family radio show:
DOBSON: You know, the thing that means so much to me here on this issue [embryonic stem cell research] is that people talk about the potential for good that can come from destroying these little embryos and how we might be able to solve the problem of juvenile diabetes. There's no indication yet that they're gonna do that, but people say that, or spinal cord injuries or such things. But I have to ask this question: In World War II, the Nazis experimented on human beings in horrible ways in the concentration camps, and I imagine, if you wanted to take the time to read about it, there would have been some discoveries there that benefited mankind. You know, if you take a utilitarian approach, that if something results in good, then it is good. But that's obviously not true. We condemn what the Nazis did because there are some things that we always could do but we haven't done, because science always has to be guided by ethics and by morality. And you remove ethics and morality, and you get what happened in Nazi Germany.

Lookin' good.
I hit double overhead plus during hurrican Fabian in 2003, which has did was cat 3 and same path as projected for Bill. Hatteras has the spot... it will hold and peel 10ft+... 100+yd rides all day long. Question is do i wanna get stuck south of Rodanthe when the road washes out?
well, have fun guys. Wish I was back in oc md to hit the shoals or something.
But for all the guys that sound worried down south, my advice is to think outside the box as far as where you choose to surf if the swell does get heavy. There are tons of little rivermouths and inlets all up and down the carolinas that have deeper water and probably never break on normal 3-4 foot days...
Nobody usually paddles out to their local beach break when its 12 ft. You gotta look for things with some deeper water, possibly way further out. Outer sand bars collected off a river or something...
But good luck. Grab your pintail minigun so you can have a ton of speed and an easy paddle..
I hope this pans out. Any one ever surf the KOA park in Hatteras? That's where I am going to be paddling out from, unless it is cleaner elsewhere. Hook a brother up, I am back into surfing after 14 years in the Marines... I did surf on and off all over the place; but VA beach and OBX is my new home break. Where are the sweet spots? Any other gay rules about surfing VA beach I should be aware of?
Rock and roll.
Big Tim
Surfed the Ec since the early 90's . Some spots will hold clean breaks . Looks like north florida will be clean if the swell direction keeps it course . Central Florida looks like a direct hit for close outs sat . just my 411 , PADDLE OUT .

Five Questions with Thomas Gold
Listen to Thomas Gold on iHeartRadio
From atop one of New York City's most exclusive venues, Thomas Gold celebrated the milestone of his 100th Fanfare episode with an intimate party at The Standard, High Line Hotel's Le Bain.
A select group of fans gathered to hear Thomas dish out Fanfare 100 live, and to dance the night away in the Big Apple.
Speaking of NYC, the city has hosted many of Thomas' most unique events. The DJ/producer tells us, "I just love the New Yorkers and the crowd here is so amazing. I've had my biggest shows here; Governor's Island and then Roseland, and EDC. I really, really appreciate how much feedback I get from New York and how much they get involved online with social media. Whenever I play a show here, it's just amazing and the vibe is always crazy."
He may have celebrated one milestone, but Thomas has a lot more in store for fans to look forward to this year. He says, "I have three singles coming out now. There's the Borgeous track, then I have a track out on Revealed in August, and I have a track [coming out] on Axtone." He continues, "I'm working on new stuff constantly right now. I just sort of like use my time in the studio before I'm go back on big tours, and the summer's coming already so I have just to use every single hour I can get!"
We caught up with Thomas at his #Fanfare100 Event where he talked about his 100th episode, the iconic Roseland Ballroom, his favorite fan gift, and more.
1. What does reaching Fanfare 100 mean to you?
It means a lot. I started this radio show three years ago now and I didn't think about how much or how long it would go. The time went by so quick and now we're at the hundredth episode! It's amazing and I'm super happy about all the feedback, and support I'm getting. And that I have so many followers, it's pretty fun making these episodes every week. Putting together good music and telling the people what I'm doing, what I'm up to, and getting in touch with them. I'm just happy that I could reach them!
2. New York City has been a big location for you to put on your most unique shows, especially your performance at Roseland Ballroom. How do you feel about the venue closing down this year?
I was very sad when I heard that, and I know that place had such a long history. So many huge acts have played there. I mean, on the one hand, I was probably part of that history, but on the other hand, I think it's really sad news that such a great venue with this amazing vibe had to shut down. But I will always remember, it was one of the most memorable shows ever for me.
3. What compelled you to incorporate the live element of your drum line into some of your sets?
The basic idea was that I often include drums and percussion elements into my tracks. So I was like, "Hey, why not do this live?" Bring in some people on stage with me. In America, the drum line thing is very popular. It's different than in Europe. So, I thought, "Hey, let's just try this out," and I talked to my management and they liked the idea. And so we found this group of young guys from New York, and it was so much fun rehearsing with them and being on stage. I think the people also love to see that. I don't know if it's going to happen this year, but I'm definitely planning on doing something like that in the future.
4. You have a collab with Borgeous coming out. What did you like about working with him?
He's a very nice, nice guy. I like his approach to music and how he does productions. He can do both the big room stuff and the vocal things with his tracks, I just like his style. We met at a festival a couple weeks ago and we sat down and had fun together. We were like, "Hey, come on, let's play together," and it happened! Like in a couple weeks. And I was in the studio with him in L.A. and before that, we had an idea which we just sent back and forth. We're done; we're finished, and it's going to be on Spinnin' Records.
5. What has been your favorite fan moment or gift from a fan?
There was a fan in Italy and she gave me a cup with my name on it. A coffee mug. And she gave me a little Fanfare horn. It was super nicely wrapped and everything. She put a lot of time in that. She came to one of the shows in Italy.

since BT5 is based off of Ubuntu (Lucid), some snooping around the 'buntu forums brought me this.
Pretty much, completely delete (apt-get remove --purge nameofapp) ettercap and then redownload the files from the ettercap section of here, choosing amd64 for 64-bit and i386 for 32-bit. (make sure you download all 3 files.) Then to install the files, cd to where they downloaded and run
Keep the "./" and swap "<.deb_file_here>" for the name of each file you downloaded.Code:dpkg -i ./<.deb_file_here>
Then just navigate to Internet->Ettercap or type in "ettercap -G" inside a terminal.
Hope this helps, the same thing happened to me.

Well keep the faith. Since the site went up they have been making a lot of progress. I bet they'll drop it tomorrow. They probably just want to stretch it out to keep it popular on all the boards and to keep getting those hits to their site. #fingerscrossed
Thanks @Evad3rs btw for all the hard work!!
I'm guessing Monday
Really now? People are going to throw fits over this? It's a jailbreak,just be glad they released one for y'all. It's not like you won't be getting one
I am thankful for all they've done over the years, just that I don't like it when things like this happen, it's not their fault, after all they are making this for 2 new devices also, the ipad 4 and iphone 5, i know that will take time, it's just making all the fuzz that I don't like.

Thread: Post-Game Thoughts
Post-Game Thoughts
First of all, I was totally bass ackwards in my prediction going into this game. I really thought our O would score enough to offset the D's ineptitude against the run, even with Ben out of the game - I believed the Steelers would run often, and then run play action giving Leftwich confidence in the air game. Instead, Flacco continued his road woes, and was bailed out by the D.
I was really impressed with the play of our Defense, both in the run game and pass defense. Corey Graham came up Huge, along with others, including Pees with his game plan - I have been a Pees critic for some time, but last night he delivered, along with a hard hitting performance by our D. Kudos to you guys! Once again it was fun watching our D lay some leather on the 'bumble bees'.
Secondly, our team really seemed to be much more Disciplined last night, compared to past games - kudos to Harbs for infusing that element into the game. It paid huge dividends last night.
And, even though Falco once again demonstrated his erratic play when away from home, he did NOT turn the ball over, and, that too, was Critical!
All in all, a fun game to watch - hard hitting on D; and Stellar play by our ST....sort of reminds one of our success to a SB championship run. P.S. our D is certainly not on the level of our championship Defense, just to clarify!

Re: Post-Game Thoughts
I don't get this "Flacco continued his road woes" thing. He took what the Steelers gave him, which wasn't much. He didn't make any mistakes.
Re: Post-Game Thoughts
A lot of people are talking about the D, but honestly the game plan was to run on us, and they did effectively. We were more Lucky that Leftwich got hurt and was basically inept on his own.
The offense still has struggles but a lot of last night wasnt Flaccos ineptitude but the offenses. The D they facde was pretty good and took away its two biggest weapons in Smith and Rice. Boldin was free but isnt a big threat and Pitta going out certainly didnt help. He did make an errant throw or two but i really think that was by design to protect the ball and place it where only we could get it, or nobody. We just simply didnt get open or make holes for the run game. As bad as it was, i think a good bit can be explained by who we were playing or the system itself, as opposed to the players "executing".-JAB

Re: Post-Game Thoughts
Thought #1- Charlie Batch must be REALLY bad/old or have ZERO experience with Haley's new offense. Can't figure out why they kept him on the sidelines when Lefty was so hurt.
Thought #1b- If Ben isn't better, could we see Tyler Palko or another Haley retread in 2 weeks?
Thought #2- Sticking with Ray Rice is a good thing. We did it most of the game, even when we could have put the running game on the back burner. But two 3rd and 2 opportunities where we passed it had me scratching my head.
Thought #3- I'm hoping we don't have a "Steelers hangover" this week in SD. It's a big AFC game. Those new ravens CBs will have another good test this week out west.
Thought #4- We need to slow down the run. Looks better with suggs back, but should we rest haloti to get him closer to health?
Re: Post-Game Thoughts-JAB
Re: Post-Game Thoughts
I think it was Collingsworth who mentioned that Flacco seemed banged up - some of his passes were a bit off target. Of course he was no where near in as much pain as Lefty.
I think the improvement in the defense has been quite notable since Pees moved to the booth upstairs. I wish Cam would do the same.
That said, the Steelers ran the type of offense we should be able to run: great ground attack to set up the play action. If Leftwich was better/not hurt, I'd shudder to think of the outcome.
Special teams won this game, great coverage and returns (not just Jacoby's TD). It's often overlooked, but their play was the difference. Not to mention that our "special teams" guys in Graham and Ihedigbo came up huge at times.

Re: Post-Game Thoughts"A lot" is a two word expression denoting a great deal or greatly, as in "I like sunshine a lot." "Alot" is a lovable imaginary grammar monster. You can love a lot; you can love an alot; you can love alots a lot; but they are not the same thing.

Law school to hold conference on Sierra Leone
Diplomats, legal practitioners and scholars from across the nation will be at the University of South Carolina School of Law April 1 for a conference on rebuilding the West African country of Sierra Leone, which shares a deep connection with the Palmetto State.
Titled "Rebuilding Sierra Leone: Changing Institutions and Culture," the conference will take place at the School of Law auditorium and is free and open to the public.
Conference organizer Joel Samuels said Sierra Leone, which has a strong connection to the Palmetto State through the coastal Gullah community, has recently emerged from years of civil war and is struggling to rebuild its infrastructure and restore order.
"Sierra Leone has spent the past eight years slowly rebuilding a state and society shattered by war," said Samuels, a professor in USC's law school. "Nearly half of its population was displaced during the civil war that ended in 2002. Most of those who were displaced remain unsettled and the country has struggled to develop the basic mechanisms for an ordered state and civil society."
Conference participants, all of whom have worked or studied in Sierra Leone, will discuss issues that have hindered its development and examine ways to rebuild the state.
Speakers will include June Carter Perry, former U.S. ambassador to Sierra Leone and scholar-in-residence at Howard University; Jim Hodes, an attorney with the Cochran Law Firm in Atlanta and a former prosecutor, Special Court for Sierra Leone; and Herb Frazier of Charleston, a former journalist and author of "Behind God's Back," a manuscript about the connection between the Gullah culture and Sierra Leone. Frazier is public relations and marketing manager at Magnolia Plantation in Charleston.
For a complete schedule, visit http://www.cas.sc.edu/iis/sierra%20leone/index.html.
Two additional public events are planned in connection with the conference:
Tuesday, March 29 -- "War Don Don," an award-winning documentary about Sierra Leone's civil war and its aftermath, will be shown at 6 p.m. in Room135 of the law school. The film recently came out on DVD after showing on HBO for an extended period.
Wednesday, March 30 -- The documentary, "Family Across the Sea," about the connections between South Carolina's Gullah culture and the people of Sierra Leone, will be shown at 6 p.m. in Room 135 of the law school. Producer Tim Carrier of Columbia will talk briefly about making the film.
For more information, contact Joel Samuels at 803-777-8295 or email@example.com.

Jackson doctor won't testify, threatens to reveal secret
Michael Jackson's former doctor is threatening to drop a bombshell on the court proceedings for the singer's wrongful death case if he's asked to testify at trial.
TMZ.com posted audio of a voicemail message Conrad Murray recently left for a friend. In the message, the cardiologist warns that he'll reveal a big secret about Michael Jackson if AEG Live and the Jackson Family continue to ignore his requests to leave him out of the trial.
Murray is serving time behind bars for involuntary manslaughter in connection to the singer's 2009 drug overdose death. He was previously asked to testify in Katherine Jackson's lawsuit against AEG Live but pled the Fifth Amendment to get out of it.

Gradient Phase Watch
By Kev Boogie

It's like a dynamic piece of art on the wrist.Very satisfied.
A Very Cool Watch
By Queenie
from Maine
Best comment came from a 17-year old grand-daughter. "Grammie! That's a really cool watch!"
Very unique
By Canadian Girl
from Ontario
This watch is so unusual - i've had many comments. Most people say "How can you tell time with that?" to which I respond "Just look at it and you'll get it". It truly is a piece of art.
cool watch

cool watch. takes a bit of getting familiar with face
A very unusual watch
By Mom2Colin
from Suburban Chicago
This watch is very nice and something unusual for a man who owns several watches. The face to me, though, seems a little small. Though it fits my husband's wrist well, I think it would look odd on a man with very large hands.
It is great!
By YL
from NJ
I bought this for my husband; the adjustable strap is brilliant, it is working well and looks unique. We are both happy with it.

Golisano resisted any temptation to clean house in the hockey department, retaining Regier and coach Lindy Ruff while bringing back Quinn, the former team president. Three rugged and popular players – Stu Barnes, Vaclav Varada and Rob Ray – were moved before last season's trade deadline.

Well from what you said everything is working fine except WICD, than do your wireless connectivity more "manually" instead of relying on WICD. I'm sure there are lots of tutorials online on how to do this.
I'm having difficulty with WICD not finding any wireless networks. Ran sudo ifconfig -a ; sudo ifconfig wlan0 up; iwconfig wlan0 essid Eagle1; iwlist wlan0 scan essid Eagle1; and so on. All indications thru terminal window reflected a wireless signal being detected by my laptop, but WICD wasn't finding any wireless. My ssid is not broadcasted, but WICD allows you to 'find a hidden network'. Entering my ssid info, wicd still found nothing.
Reviewing similar threads in other forums i saw that i could purge WICD thru the apt-get purge wicd* ; but when i attempted to do an apt-get install wicd, no luck. Looking at another post, i saw reference to synaptic package mgr. I found the wicd pkg, but of course i couldn't install because--I HAVE NO INTERNET CONNECTION. Yes, it was a bonehead moment.
I restarted my box and ethernet connection found. I used synaptic package mgr to install wicd. Still no wireless.
When i do an IWLIST SCAN i see my router with it's hidden beacon: ESSID: "\x00\x00\x00 "
I then executed SUDO IWCONFIG WLAN0 SCAN ESSID EAGLE1, and i see my ssid and associated parameters: encryption key on, bit rates, freq, etc.
But when i go to the wicd n/w mgr, it tells me there no wireless networks found.
Stumbling upon another forum:
I ran DMESG |GREP WLAN0 and saw the following: ADDRCONF (NETDEV_UP), wlan0: link is not ready.
Then, DMESG |GREP IWL3945, and got this: detected intel wireless wifi link 3945abg.
Then, LSHW -C NETWORK and saw my PRO/Wireless 3945G info, then i ran RFKILL LIST ALL and saw nothing is blocked.
Again, reading some other posts in a different forum I tried several other commands:
cat /etc/network/interfaces (everything ok)
lspci -nn (saw n/w controller info related to Pro/Wireless 3945ABG)
sudo /etc/init.d/networking restart (still no change, wicd reflects "no wireless networks found."
cat /var/log/debug |grep wlan (showed previous dates of when wlan was up, attached, authenticated; the last entries however reflected "disabling the bridge, down, detached.")
cat /var/log/messages |grep wlan (showed multiple lines of "wlan0: link is not ready")
I've tried on my own to resolve, but cant seem to crack this nut; would love some help! I'm using Backtrack 5 (Ubunto 10.04).

WATCH: Diddy returns as 'Puff Daddy' for 'Big Homie'
Listen to Puff Daddy on iHeartRadio
Sean "Diddy" Combs may be returning to his roots for his next album, MMM.
A teaser for the video to his single, "Big Homie" featuring Rick Ross and French Montana, lists the Bad Boy Records exec by his former stage name, Puff Daddy.
Many websites say the return of Puff Daddy represents yet another name change from Combs, who has also gone by P. Diddy and most recently Diddy. But he took to Twitter to say that he didn't change his name again. Instead, he proclaims, "I always have been and always will be PUFF DADDY."
For the record, I did not change my name. I always have been and always will be PUFF DADDY! :) Be cool Man lol #MMM #BigHomie RT!!!!
— Diddy (@iamdiddy) March 25, 2014
Puffy's Revolt TV reports that the "Big Homie" music video was filmed on location in Atlanta, Miami and Harlem. Apart from collaborators Rick Ross and French Montana, the video will also feature cameos from Meek Mill, A$AP Mob and more. The video for "Big Homie" will arrive on April 1st.

Use this page to discuss script 3619 buffergator: buffer listing, selection, and switching/navigation
- Add constructive comments, bug reports, or discuss improvements (see the guideline).
- Do not document the script here (the author should do that on vim.org).
- This page may be out of date: check the script's vim.org page above, and its release notes.
Screen jumps around with autoexpand on in GUI modeEdit
When running under GUI Vim (e.g. MacVim) with autoexpand on, and the screen does not have room to grow on the opposite side of where the new window will be created, then opening and closing the Buffergator window results in the application screen shifting. The reason for this "movement" is how GUI Vim behaves when columns are expanded and collapsed, and there is insufficient room to grow on one side.
If you find this annoying, there are two ways around this:
(1) Switch off autoexpanding (i.e., the increase/decrease in screen size when opening up the buffer listing window:
let g:buffergator_autoexpand_on_split = 0
(2) If you find that you the reason there is no room to grow is because you usually have your Vim screen on the right side of the monitor, then you can leave autoexpanding on, but have the new window created on the right instead:
let g:buffergator_viewport_split_policy = "R"

RANCHO CUCAMONGA - The city's Community Services Department is conducting an assessment of recreational needs and wants feedback from residents.
A community meeting has been scheduled for tonight, and community feedback is being requested at www.rccommunityideas.com.
The combined input will help develop a 10- to 15-year vision for the city's parks and recreation services, said Francie Palmer, the marketing director for the city's Community Services Department.
"From the key findings of these focus groups, surveys and online engagement, we'll have a broader, deeper sense of what the needs are," Palmer said.
The community meeting will be from 6:30 to 8 tonight at Goldy S. Lewis Community Center in Central Park, just northwest of Base Line Road and Milliken Avenue.
Those who attend will be asked an array of questions to improve parks and recreation, cultural arts, open spaces, trails and more.
The city has contracted with Colorado- based GreenPlay LLC for the project.

The Instagram Flap
In case you haven't seen the news, Instagram sent the Internet sputtering when they changed their terms of service that gives them the ability to license photos.
In my take for CNET, I argue that providing the platform shouldn't mean owning the content, and Instagram has reminded us yet again that when the service is free, we are the product.

I am not fond of instagram, in any case because I don't like the quality of their photos. It's just as easy to post to Facebook from my droid.

I read Systrom's rebuttal and one point I noticed is that if you don't want to be caught up in being potentially involved in an Instagram 'ad', make sure you don't 'like' businesses that make them. Seriously, did anyone with a biz mind REALLY read this crap before they released it? Sounds like a whole lot of somebodies really didn't bother to read AND think through the implications. Such a bunch of half-hearted backpedaling... Thanks for your post

What is Instagram doing?!
Why alientate and drive all of your customers away to other services? This is just bonkers.
And legally on a thin line, when it comes the content of the photo. To say you own a photo when the people photographed in it were paid no fees and may have been photographed without permission - this is dicey.
It's worth noting that Facebook bought Instagram in September, and less than 3 short months later, this happened.
Coincidence? Or is this the type of thing Facebook can do.

Love your CNET article! I also love Instagram and will continue to use it no matter what. I highly doubt they'll do anything that would cause them too much trouble. I figured the PR nightmare of all this backlash would/will be enough (that blog post you quote from means they are already on it) to fix the issues.
I'm not going to worry.

Instagram has many power users with very few tools.
InstaPower User has more than one tool.
Follow/Unfollow tool: see how many followers have liked or commented as well as if you follow them back or not.
Comment response tool: manage your posts, see how many comments and how many replies you have made (included @username in comment)
Ghost Identification: find the followers who do not comment or like your posts. You can then decide to unfollow or remove one by one or all ghost users.
Problems Solved.
Like twitter bots, no need for webstagram, instafrmanger, instafollower
Why You need it?
One tool does it all - for real instagram users
Why fund it?
I need your help to make it better and to make it succeed.
How funding will help?
I am asking for your help to beta test, improve my application, improve the user interface, eliminate bugs and help me create the perfect icon. Any extra funds will help speed up the development time of the iPad and iPhone version. I am really looking to get as many people involved in this project as possible. The success of these apps are solely dependent upon the support of the users.

Local Skiers return from Junior World Championships in Italy
April 29, 2013
Three local skiers recently returned from a trip to Italy where they competed in the Junior World Championships to finish out their winter season.
One skier, Bruce Perry Jr., 17, was just formally accepted to the U.S. Ski Team for the next winter season. "It really just hit me a couple of days ago," he said. "I'm stoked on it."
Getting invited to join the U.S. Ski Team is quite an accomplishment for a 17-year-old.
Perry finished 6th in moguls during the Junior World Championships and he took the 13 spot in dual moguls and was the top American to finish the moguls.
Casey Andringa, 17, and Colter Hale, 17, both competed well during the event with Hale finishing 8th in slopestyle and Andringa clinching a 14 spot in moguls and 8th in dual moguls.
Andringa skied phenomenal, according to Coach Dan Studer, despite the adverse weather and difficulty of the course. The course was extremely steep and the bumps were taller and larger than the bumps at Winter Park.
"They just found it tough to ski the course but they adapted well," Studer said.
Andringa took out the top seed in his first dual but he unfortunately lost his second. "Casey is so close, we had him change up some things this year and all he is lacking now is consistency and that will definitely come to him next year," Studer said.
Hale's personal style is what scored him the 8th spot as he was receiving high scores for the tricks he was completing. "Once he starts getting some more doubles he is going to be hard to beat," Studer said.
The ski season may be over, but these young competitors' training season is just around the corner. With training camps in Whistler and Mount Hood and water ramping in Steamboat Springs and Salt Lake City, these three skiers have a long summer ahead of them.
Perry extended a thank you to his coaches Dan Studer, Chris Seeman, Freddy Mooney and Scooter McDaniel for helping him to get where he is today and for always doing their best to make him a better skier and person.

State receives $16 million for biomedical research
Ten colleges and universities in the state, including the University of South Carolina, have received $16 million to support a network to develop biomedical-research programs in areas such as regenerative medicine, biochemistry and molecular biology.
The funding comes from the National Center for Research Resources (NCRR), a division of the National Institutes of Health. The grant will provide five years of funding for SC INBRE (the IDeA Networks of Biomedical Research Excellence), a network of academic institutions working together to enhance biomedical-research infrastructure and increase competitiveness of researchers in the state. It is the continuation of a $17 million grant received five years ago.
The network comprises the state's three comprehensive research institutions (USC, Clemson and the Medical University of South Carolina) and seven predominantly undergraduate institutions (Claflin University, the College of Charleston, Francis Marion University, Furman University, South Carolina State University, USC-Beaufort and Winthrop University).
"The key to this is developing a research environment and growing research at undergraduate institutions in order to provide research training for students in biomedical science," said Dr. Lucia Pirisi-Creek of USC's School of Medicine, the grant's lead investigator.
SC INBRE will support at least 28 different research projects, each led by a junior "target" faculty member at one of the network institutions. During the five years of funding, six institutions will hire 10 new faculty members who will bring new biomedical research expertise to the state. Projects include the investigation of nanoparticles that may improve treatment of Alzheimer's or Parkinson's disease, stroke or brain cancer; the role of plaque in weakened arteries and how it leads to heart attacks and stroke; and the study of dysfunctional cells in the most prevalent form of epilepsy.

if your useing wicd gui in the drop down above pass space make sure u have proper encryption picked,wrong one will cause that.............
I'm using a Belkin Model: F7D1101 v1 Basic Wireless USB Adapter on my Desktop pc and trying to connect to a Cisco DPC3825 Wireless-N Modem/Router. When in Backtrack 5 R3 and trying to connect to my router i get a Bad Password error every time?? Anyone know what causes this and how to fix it? All of my other devices connect with the same password i type to try and connect to it, including this computer when i'm using Windows 7 or Ubuntu 12.04 LTS.
if your useing wicd gui in the drop down above pass space make sure u have proper encryption picked,wrong one will cause that.............
Then open up wicid and go into the properties tab of your network that you are trying to connect to.
Now go down to where it says 'Use Encryption' and make sure you have it on the correct setting..
If you are unsure then you could simply try all of them.
me too...that wicd problem but nice work after installing network manager gnome
read the manual from that router
page 16
" 7 WIRELESS SETUP pressing this ..."
good luck
It appears that wicd has issues with WPA-WPA2 connections..I've read about it in some threads here...So I would strongly suggest you to install network-manager....
Uninstall wicd : aptitude purge wicd (no need to be redundant with apt-get remove purge and bla bla bla wicd). If any doubt, just refer to "man aptitude"......
The installation is : aptitude update and then aptitude install network-manager network-manager-gnome (or kde, according to your desktop).
In some distros like debian, when installing one of them (wicd or network-manager) the other will be automatically uninstalled since only one network manager can be in the system. But if you want to uninstall first yourself, do as I wrote above...

Katy Perry Has Written a Reggae Track With Major Lazer
Listen to Katy Perry Radio on iHeartRadio | Listen to Major Lazer Radio on iHeartRadio
Katy Perry is probably the last person you'd ever expect to do a reggae track, but it's happened.
The "Roar" songstress was recently spotted in the studio with Major Lazer's Diplo and Walshy Fire, where she was writing music during a recording session for Jamaican reggae artist Jessie Royal's upcoming mixtape.
Walshy Fire opened up about the surprising collaboration in a new interview with Jah Blem Muzik to promote Royal's mixtape.
"The funniest moment was having Katy Perry in the studio singing 'woke up this morning feeling so blessed' and writing a whole song to the Rootsman Riddim while Jesse did the dub for modern day Judas. Watching her catch that reggae vibe was the best part of recording."
Still no word yet on whether the song is for Royal's mixtape or if Katy crashed the recording session to write some material for her rumored Prism re-release, but it's pretty interesting nonetheless.

Miley Cyrus 'We Can't Stop' breaks Vevo record
Listen to Miley Cyrus on iHeartRadio
Miley Cyrus' "We Can't Stop" has broken another record on music video streaming site Vevo. The controversial video has now reached the 100 million view mark faster than any other on the site.
It took only 37 days for "We Can't Stop" to clock in 100 million views - the previous record being held by Eminem and Rihanna's "Love The Way You Lie," which took 39 days. Miley's latest video broke new ground when it was released last month, picking up 10.7 million views in its first 24 hours out. But it didn't last long. Weeks later, One Direction's "Best Song Ever" swooped in to beat Miley's best by just 200,000 views.
She can't stop!

Every once in a while we are fortunate enough to witness the results of wonderful acts of kindness performed by individuals around the world. This holiday season was no exception with students from Williams High School in Plano, Texas visiting patients at Texas Scottish Rite Hospital for Children in Dallas.
From One Child to Another
The students from Williams High School were Peer Assistance and Leadership members who arrived at the hospital to offer the experience of making holiday crafts to children who were recuperating from surgery. The process of returning to full strength after surgery can be difficult, and the craft workshop that the high school students set up in the hospital's recreation room was a perfect way to help the patients say focused on positive things. The students greatly enjoyed the experience, cherishing the memories and friendships they made during the process.
A Special Hospital
Texas Scottish Rite Hospital for Children has long since been a haven where children from all backgrounds could receive the medical care they needed. Started in 1921 by Texas Masons who wanted to treat children with polio, regardless of the resources the children's families possessed, TRSRC is now a leading pediatric orthopedic center that has treated more than 210,000 children.

Detailed Description
A quick-allocation pool for storage of arbitrary data.
Pointers to allocations made from the pool are guaranteed to remain valid as long as the pool is alive; the pool contents are never relocated. All individually allocated memory chunks are freed when the pool itself is destroyed. This memory management scheme is suitable for algorithms which need to allocate and manipulate many chunks of memory in a non-linear fashion where the life-time of each memory chunk is not predictable. Rather than complicating the algorithm by having it carefully track each memory chunk to determine when it would be safe to dispose of the memory, it can instead create a csMemoryPool at the start, and destroy the pool at the end. During processing, it can allocate memory chunks from the pool as needed, and simply forget about them when no longer needed, knowing that they will be freed en-masse when the pool itself is disposed. This is often a cheaper, simpler, and faster alternative to reference-counting or automatic garbage collection.

Constructor & Destructor Documentation
| gran =
Construct a new memory pool.
If a size is provided, it is taken as a recommendation in bytes of the granularity of the internal allocations made by the pool, but is not a hard limit. Client allocations from the pool can be both smaller and larger than this number. A larger number will result in fewer interactions with the system heap (which translates to better performance), but at the cost of potential unused but allocated space. A smaller number translates to a greater number of interactions with the system heap (which is slow), but means less potential wasted memory.
Member Function Documentation
|void* csMemoryPool::Alloc
Allocate the specified number of bytes.
- Returns:
- A pointer to the allocated memory.
- Remarks:
- The allocated space is not initialized in any way (it is not even zeroed); the caller is responsible for populating the allocated space.
- The specified size must be greater than zero.
|void csMemoryPool::Empty
|char const* csMemoryPool::Store
|char const *
Store a null-terminated C-string.
- Returns:
- A pointer to the stored copy.
- Remarks:
- It is safe to store a zero-length string. A null pointer is treated like a zero-length string.
|void const* csMemoryPool::Store
|void const *
Store a copy of a block of memory of the indicated size.
- Returns:
- A pointer to the stored copy.
- Remarks:
- The specified size must be greater than zero.
