- Astro Catalog
- The Astro::Catalog module is an generic, object-oriented astronomical catalogue. It provides access to the online USNO-A2 and Guide Star Catalogues provided by ESO/ST-ECF, and additionally provides read/write access to ARK CLUSTER format files.
- Astroconst
- Astroconst makes header files in C, Fortran, Perl, IDL, Java, and GNUplot defining many astrophysical constants useful for scientific programming. A single modifiable data file automatically generates these header files, so you can add new constants to the data file and generate new header files in all appropriate languages without fiddling with each header file individually.
- Astronomical Papers Library
- A C library containing theories of motion of solar system objects that have been published in various astronomical journals such as Astronomy & Astrophysics, the Astronomical Journal, and Astronimcal Papers prepared for the use of the American Ephemeris. Currently this includes such theories as Newcomb's "Tables of the Sun" and all the planets as well as the theory known as "The Improved Lunar Ephemeris".
- Avaneya: Viking Lander Remastered DVD
- Whether you are a fan of science fiction, a space–science enthusiast, hobbyist, photographer, gamer or a patron of grass–roots libre arts and technology, you are sure to find the first successful images from the surface of Mars highly captivating. These mind blowing images were taken by NASA's Viking landers during the highly ambitious, billion–dollar mission first launched in 1975. However, many images were nearly lost to history due to magnetic tape deterioration and archaic proprietary technology. With NASA's blessing, our team developed the technology to recover many of these images. This research tool was part of the design phase of our parent project, Avaneya — our upcoming libre cerebral science fiction game for the GNU operating system set on Mars, described in the words of Richard Stallman as an exciting, pioneering project. Originally an internal research tool, overwhelming public interest compelled us to release the technology on this DVD for all. Now everyone can relive the original breathtaking experience that captured the world's attention and marked the first successful moment in history that humanity saw Mars — not as a distant, impersonal, celestial body, beheld through a telescope for centuries, but as a tangible and alien world well within its reach.
- Avsomat
- 'avsomat' is a framework for automating the scheduling of variable star observations, identification and photometry of variable stars on CCD images, and the reporting, management, and verification of results. It uses electronic charts of the star fields in which variable stars appear, and maintains a view of the current results in the form of a collection of interlinked Web pages.
- Botec
- BOTEC is a simple astrophysical and orbital mechanics calculator, including a database of all named Solar System objects. BOTEC is intended as a simple but useful calculator to assist with making astrophysical, orbital mechanics, and space navigation calculations. As the origin of the acronym applies, BOTEC is more of a "back-of-the-envelope calculator" rather than an industrial-strength calculator, although this may change in the future.
- Celestia
- Celestia is a real-time visual simulation of space. Choose a point within the Local Group of galaxies, and Celestia will show you an approximation of how it would appear to your eyes were you actually there. Some of what Celestia shows is necessarily hypothetical--the farther away from Earth you get, the less real data there is and the more guesswork is involved. Thus Celestia supplements observational data with good guesses based on models of stellar and planetary processes. You can also navigate at an immense range of scales. Orbit a couple kilometers above the surface of a tiny, irregular asteroid, then head off toward Jupiter, watching it grow from a bright point of light into a looming sphere filling your field of vision. Leave our solar system entirely and observe the sun as it fades from a brilliant disk to a bright star, disappearing almost entirely as you head off toward the Upsilon Andromeda system to orbit around its innermost giant planet.
- 'EPICS' is a software infrastructure for building distributed control systems to operate devices such as particle accelerators, large experiments and major telescopes. These systems comprise tens or hundreds of computers, networked together so they can communicate and provide control and feedback of the various parts from a control room, or remotely over the Internet. EPICS uses Client/Server and Publish/Subscribe techniques to communicate between the various computers. Most servers (called Input/Output Controllers or IOCs) perform real-world I/O and local control tasks, and publish this information to clients using the Channel Access (CA) network protocol. CA is specially designed for the kind of high bandwidth, soft real-time networking applications that EPICS is used for, and is one reason why it can be used to build a control system comprising hundreds of computers.
- Ephemeris
- 'Ephemeris' reads, writes, and interpolates the JPL planetary ephemeris data that is the world standard planetary dataset. It should compile on any machine that uses gcc and supports IEEE floating point arithmetic, and has been tested under GNU/Linux. It uses an included library, gnulliver.c, that automatically handles integer and floating point Big-endian/Little-endian byte swapping to match Big-endian/network order on any computer. gnulliver.c can be used separately under the LGPL 2.1. This is a redesign of JPL's original FORTRAN code, available on JPL's FTP website (ftp://ssd.jpl.nasa.gov/pub/eph/export/), with some added flexibility (including patching some inconsistencies in the original JPL data files). 'Ephemeris' is not associated with JPL or NASA, but just uses JPL's data.
- The Gnu Data Language (GDL) is a free alternative to the data visualization and analysis tool, called IDL (Interactive Data Language), frequently used by scientists. GDL and its library routines are designed as a tool for numerical data analysis and visualisation. GDL is dynamically typed, vectorized and has object-oriented programming capabilities. The library routines handle numerical calculations, data visualisation, signal/image processing, file input/output (incl. graphical and scientific data formats such as TIFF, PNG, netCDF, HDF etc) and interaction with host OS. Despite its name, GDL is not a GNU package.

JUDCon 2013: Brazil is a wrap
The first Red Hat Latin American Developer Conference, JUDCon 2013: Brazil is a wrap, and was an amazing success!
Mark Little, who leads the JBoss engineering team gave the keynote to announce to the World the rebranding of JBoss AS as WildFly, and everyone at the event seems to have embraced the change.
The JUDCon 2013:Brazil event had nearly 97 submissions - the largest number of submissions JUDCon history - and the high quality content from both Brazilians and non-Brazilians speakers contributed to this great outcome, producing nearly 70 solid sessions. In addition, we had seven two-hour OpenShift workshops, which were very well attended.
All 27 known Brazilian JUG's contributed to the event by spreading the word in their forums, and with their help and the help of partners such as InfoQ, JavaMagazine, MundoJava, DevMedia, Linux Magazine and CanalTech we had an attendance to 340 developers. Thanks to you all for your help and support! We are already looking forward to next year!

Michigan Monsters
They don't show these so called pro's hunting in Michigan very often because they would have no show.To here the narrator talk about the monsters we have here in a high pressured brown it's down state,I almost got excited.So they show a field with a bunch of stupid 150,170.180 class bucks in some game ranch, that don't know what a human or pressure is but what they don't tell ya is you can have one too for about 8 grand.I wonder how many other states are misrepresented like this.

most, if not all. I don't even think of them as real deer when they cone from a ranch like that. I would love to see some of them try hunting a season like most of us do where a 120 class dear is a monster that we would value more than a 200 shot off a pay to play ranch. I posted a pic of what I would consider to be a monster PA deer that would get it from any hunter in the area but to thees big time tv hunters is just a cull deer.
In Illinois you see folks hunting at Samson's Ridge, it's such a private deer farm they can even use centerfire rifles and don't have to abide by ANY IL deer regs. In Iowa, they have a couple operations as well that produce 200"+ Bucks for TV "celebs" on a regular basis.
As you've said.... it's a rich mans game. Two years ago a guy shot a 300"+ monster at Samson's Ridge and yet it circulated around the country as the next World Record! Sad!!! All of that could be yours for around $30,000!!! LOL!
I'm to the point where I won't even watch hunting shows........all they are is a big advertisment for all the crap that these clowns use to shoot pened or raised deer with.
Not even close to real world hunting.
You all said it. They sit there all worn out after five day's of so called hard hunting and it's been ruf because they passed on 25 bucks.Here you mite see one or two all season and if it's a 2.5, 120 he goin down because what i'm looking for does'nt exist here.As stupid as it is if I don't get a shooter before gun season, I will December bow hunt ti'll I can't feel my fingers anymore and my ears are ready to drop off, and you have a better chance of seeing tarunasourus rex out there than a shooter because they have had enough.I never understood how they can take a tame buck from a ranch and put it in the record book,it just blows me away.Would'nt that be like cheeting?HIGH COUNTRY SPEED PRO X10 "SPEED KILLS",HHA site,Carbon force Mayhem/Easton Fat Boy Arrows,Alpine quiver,TM hunter and Swhacker Broadheads.
One more thing
I'd like to see them come up here and blow that true talker like a kazoo and rattle them horn's like there in south Texas and see what they get!!!HIGH COUNTRY SPEED PRO X10 "SPEED KILLS",HHA site,Carbon force Mayhem/Easton Fat Boy Arrows,Alpine quiver,TM hunter and Swhacker Broadheads.
I laugh every time I see some poor slob carrying the lastest and greatest deer call and scent dohicky into the state land here in MI........I wonder how long it takes em to realize that most MI public land deer run the other way as soon as they hear or smell one of those calls. Even private land unless you have alot of dirt to hunt those calls are just driving the deer to your neighbors.

its like watching wwf or wwe or what ever they call it now. they feed their deer hormones just like these athletes use steroids.
I saw a show the other day where these people were sitting in a wood box on stilts and had a rifle rest built on to the blind. the hunter ( and I use that term loosely) never had to pick up the gun. takes all the skill right out of it and they act like it was an accomplishment.
as far as the latest gear. I also think that is hilarious. I have friends that every year go out and spend hundreds on gear and I go out with my bow cabelas brand arrows a grunt call and a knife. and most of the time I see more deer than they do because I sit still and quiet.

Edwardian delicacy is personified in a pendant of 14k gold with classical sensibilities running rampant with scroll forms, foliate elements and a modified garland in the guise of a scalloped base set with fourteen (14) tiny half seed pearls.
Overall, the form is quite feminine with a light and airy countenance embodied by a trio of 14k green gold flowerheads kissed with half seed pearls. Placed under rays of 14k yellow gold and centered by a small old European accent diamond, the flowerheads are akin to falling stars. The bale, encircled by a ring of eight (8) small half seed pearls suspends a 14k green gold element with a yellow gold trefoil scroll form embracing a square amethyst. A dog tooth freshwater pearl drop finishes the pendant with a symphony of harmonious design.

Thank you for your reply. Unfortunately i still cannot get it to work
as expected although perhaps my expectations are different!
If for instance i enter the text
hello world
and place the cursor before w then press shift + right arrow 3 times
then the wor is selected. That is fine so far.
If i then press shift + left arrow then the space before w gets
selected! I am used to the selection decreasing in size so that only
wo would be selected at this point.
Does text select the same way for anyone else?
Is there any way to change this behaviour?
Thank you,

Darnell goes the distance in four-hitter
New Britain left-hander earns first career shutout in Erie
By John Parker / MLB.com | June 20, 2013 12:49 PM ET
Statheads call it a "Maddux."
The definition? A starting pitcher must pitch the entire game, the game must go at least nine innings, and the pitcher must allow no runs while throwing no more than 99 pitches.
Greg Maddux, of course, did it 13 times in his legendary Major League career. New Britain's Logan Darnell earned his first on Thursday afternoon, tossing a four-hit shutout as the Rock Cats beat the host Erie SeaWolves, 2-0. He threw exactly 99 pitches.
Darnell has been a workhorse for the New Britain Rock Cats all season -- his 96 2/3 innings lead the Eastern League and rank third in the Minors. He had twice gone eight frames this year, but never before had the opportunity to finish a game.
"It's great to get a shutout, but I really have to credit the defense behind me," Darnell said. "I'm a ground ball pitcher, so having guys make big plays in the field is important for me."
The Rock Cats defense did turn a key double play to end the fifth inning, but Darnell also struck out nine batters -- the most since he fanned 10 as a member of the Elizabethton Twins on Aug. 22, 2010 -- and is tied for third in the league with 77 strikeouts. He walked one.
The 24-year-old left-hander's second full season with New Britain has been much more successful than his 2012 campaign. Darnell improved to 6-6 with Thursday's win and lowered his ERA to 2.61 -- fourth-best in the Eastern League. Last year he was 11-12 with a 5.08 mark.
"Now that it's my second go-around [in the Eastern League], I'm definitely more comfortable and know what to expect," he said. "I have more trust in my changeup -- last year I might throw five in a game, while this year I might throw 15, which helps keep hitters off balance. But I also learned a lot just from struggling last year. I know not to let things bother me too much now."
Darnell's composure was tested early on, as he hit two batters in the first inning. (Erie starter Drew VerHagen, who was making his Double-A debut, later plunked the first two Rock Cats hitters of the seventh inning, but it was clearly not retaliatory.) After catcher Kyle Knudson threw out Eugenio Suarez trying to steal second, Darnell got Erie backstop James McCann to ground out.
"In the first three or four innings, I was mainly throwing fastballs down," the Tennessee native said. "[The Erie hitters] were being really aggressive and the guys made some great plays on defense."
First baseman Reynaldo Rodriguez got New Britain on the board with a leadoff homer, his ninth of the season, in the second.
Darnell faced his biggest jam in the fifth inning. Erie first baseman James Robbins led off with a single, then Luis Castillo reached on a bunt single that was compounded by a Darnell throwing error, allowing Robbins to reach third. After Jamie Johnson popped out to second, Suarez bounced into a 6-4-3 double play -- the 15th turned behind Darnell this season -- to end the threat.
"Later in the game, I started to get a really good feel for my slider and curve -- basically throwing the slider as hard as I could and moving the curve inside and out -- which helped keep them off balance," Darnell said.
Darnell cruised the rest of the way, allowing a two-out single to McCann in the sixth before retiring the final 10 SeaWolves in order. Suarez was ejected by home plate umpire Chris Tipton for arguing his called third strike in the eighth inning.
"It was a slider -- might have been a little up, might have been a little in, but it was pretty close," Darnell said diplomatically.
New Britain got its second run in the seventh when Danny Santana's sacrifice fly plated Curt Smith, whom VerHagen had hit to open the frame.
Despite taking the loss, the 22-year-old VerHagen was solid in his first Eastern League outing. The 6-foot-6 right-hander was charged with two runs -- one earned -- on four hits and two walks over six innings. He struck out eight. A fourth-round pick out of Vanderbilt in 2012, VerHagen was 5-3 with a 2.81 ERA for Class A Advanced Lakeland before the Tigers promoted him to Erie.

I see that Groundspeak has recently bumped the number of bookmark lists available to a user from 40 up to 100. That's great for those of us who like to work on challenges and keep a bookmark of caches that qualify for ones we are working on. There have been a couple of old challenges where I've had to remove my qualifying bookmark in order to build a new one.

Some caches that are winter accessible are not good to ski to such as most on the SHT and others that aren't on a ski trails are still along a trail that is one can ski on. It can make the trip a bit quicker. Some of us just like to think that we can ski faster than we can walk. It can heighten the adventure in places like Grand Rapids where you are zooming down a hill and there are gargantuan oak leaves in both tracks. A-a-a-a...Crash!
I am now the proud owner of waxless skis for skiing in GR in the spring. If I make the effort to load my boat I like to be sure I get all the "accessible by water only" caches when I am in an area. Neither list is exhaustive but it is hopefully a good start.
Two roads diverged in a wood, and I-
I took the one less traveled by,
And that has made all the difference. ~Robert Frost

I've got my Solved But Unfound lists--one for MN puzzles and Multis, and another for non-MN. I have a list of Challenge caches I already qualify for. I have lots of them tracking my progress on challenges I consider myself working on. I have a couple which are used as "sample" bookmarks for a Challenge I have placed or am in the midst of placing. I have some that highlight caches I want to get when I travel--working on one for the SanFran area right now. I have one that shows caches where I have placed trackables only to have them go missing before anyone claims them--make sure I don't leave trackables in these caches again or grab some that get dropped off by others.
I have one that doesn't have any caches in it, but the description I keep a list of trackables I've found representing each state.
I think that covers it for me.

I'm curious- What do people keep bookmark lists of?
Bobcam suggested a use I hadn't thought of. If you are the cache owner of any "power trails," it can be very helpful to other cachers if you create a bookmark list of that group of caches. That way, they can just generate a pocket query from the bookmark list and load them all into their GPS. As a result, I created
a bookmark list for my challenge series in St. Paul
. I always kind of worry that people think I'm doing it out of a sense of arrogance, but I'm really just trying to be helpful. Thank you for asking the question, AerosmithPA, so I can explain why.

I have a list of archived caches from throughout the years that are fairly local to me. That way I can find cacheable areas as well as seeing if the cache might still be there (note I haven't had a chance to purposely go out and look for archived caches yet)

Calm Down with Some Landscapes, and Other NewsBy Dan Piepenbring
- Robert Frost: the least understood of the great modernists.
- Marshall McLuhan: the most understanding of early teenagers.
- "I never dreamed of being a dominatrix, as a child might imagine driving a steam train, but when I became one I learned a trade as intricate, and as British, as that of the steam-engine driver."
- In twelfth-century China, the Confucian elite knew how to blow off steam: "In lieu of a literal return to nature, court figures would instead purchase landscape paintings and hang them on their walls. When they felt their souls growing jaded and heavy from quotidian concerns, they'd gaze at the lush scenes and transfer themselves into the place of their inhabitants—ink-brush silhouettes holding fishing rods, gathering plum blossoms and sipping a refreshing beverage in a rustic tavern."

Wednesday housecleaning
Someone asked me why I haven't responded to some of the criticism hurled at me like monkey feces (his words, cleaned up, not mine) in the comments of my blog item about forking the Free Software Foundation.
It comes down to letting people who aren't me speak their minds, since I've done that already in the blog item. As an aside, you can tell which person had read the blog all the way to the end, because there's an addendum to it that only about 20 percent of the readers of the first item actually read. The lesson here? Read the whole thing before you respond.
To be honest, I tossed most of the juvenile and the libelous comments — those who posted the former, grow up; those who posted the latter, you're welcome, and bear in mind others may not be so kind.
But to put this to rest, let me address some recurring themes here, like
You have an agenda: You're right, I have an agenda: promote digital freedom. That's it, in three words. So when roadblocks are thrown up to divert progress on this front, I advocate positions seeking to remove them. Am I suggesting Richard Stallman has become a roadblock to progress for the FSF? You think?
You're appeasing your (corporate) sponsors: When you find any sponsors on this page, let me know. This blog is my own personal commentary on what's going on in the FOSS realm. Sometimes I'm right, and sometimes I'm not. Either way, it's my reporting on FOSS developments, and my opinion on FOSS issues, that you'll find on this page.
You're an attention whore: I was pretty happy just having the 200 or so daily views on this blog before the fork-the-FSF item. I have nothing to gain by having five-figure view stats here, and on the list of things that validate my life, this blog ranks fairly low. If you like the blog, thanks for reading it and I'm grateful for your subscription. If you don't like the blog, I'm sorry it doesn't appeal to you.
When are you going to start the fork? I said in the blog I thought it would be a good idea to fork the FSF. I didn't say I'd be the one to start it, nor does having the idea mean I'm required to start it. I have much in the way of FOSS projects to keep me busy, and I wasn't suggesting that I would be your "fearless leader." On the contrary: As 20th century labor leader Eugene Debs once said, "I would not lead you into the promised land if I could, because if I led you in, some one else would lead you out." The moral of the story here is to think and act for yourself. If someone wants to act on this idea of a fork, by all means do.
What have you done for the FSF/Free Software? This is a bogus question, because even if I hadn't lifted a finger to promote free software, I'd still have the right to express an opinion on this issue. But let's entertain the question, with cookies and milk if need be. Here's what I've done for the FSF/free software: While a student at Cabrillo College in 2007-2008, I founded the Cabrillo College GNU/Linux Users Group — not a LUG, a GNU/Linux users group; this GLUG brought RMS to speak on campus; over the last several years, I have purchased multiple copies of "Free Software, Free Society" and have given them to those folks I thought would benefit from reading it, including a donation of two copies to the Santa Cruz Public Library (which had it in stock, but they could always use more copies); I drive a car with this license plate (and, incidentally, RMS has ridden in this car from Palo Alto to Santa Cruz, and from Santa Cruz to San Francisco International Airport); I started a local business in 2009, a consultancy that promotes the use of Free/Open Source Software in the small business/home office environment; I've also done a lot of other things that are too trivial to mention. Obviously this matters more to some than it does to me, but for those who asked, there you go.
So, how about we all move forward now, once and for all?

Forward! March! On to Freedom.
For the route-step army that said dumb things on this blog
the Colonel suggests that you surrender. Go to the roof and
get on the chopper. On the double!
Larry the Free Software Guy gives a ton of his limited free
time to the FOSS endeavor. Lots of out of pocket expenses.
Too much travel (he does have fun when he gets there) not
enough time. I know of several younger FOSS novitiates
that were mentored by Larry. Doing his part, those dues
were paid long ago.
We all know that the Constitution grants you the right of
free speech. It does not say that anyone has to pay
attention to you.

I installed BT4 final on my USB in the persistent mode working according to the tutorials (mainly the video, at offensive-security). my USB is 8gb and i parted 1.5gb for the bt4, and another 0.5gb for the casper-rw file (for persistence).
of course 512MB is generally not enough for it. but i need the other 6gb for file storage.
However, the casper-rw is getting full pretty fast, and even small changes such as using FF3.5, or changing few gui options seem to take lot of space. (not sure that is the reason, but it certainly getting filled up fast, and besides those thing, I haven't done much).
As well, I would like to update packages, but doing so would fill up my casper partition in an instant, and following the tutorials that are mentioned about modifying a live CD, would mean that I would need to update and install the new live CD again to the USB, or, in case I would give up on USB-edition, to burn it to a new DVD every time I update.
So, the main question is: Is there a way to install the BT4 completely to a usb ? I assume it's like installing to a hard disk, but how much space do I need? and is there anything else I need to think about or change in order to make this work?
Also, if there are other options or ideas that can help me with the situation, I'm open to suggestions.
Sorry for the bad english :\ and for being an not-really-knowing-over-the-head noob :D

Anger tells us that something is wrong, or that we're being mistreated, for example. Anger gives us needed information, so we will not let others abuse us. But when anger turns to rage, it becomes destructive! Anger is an emotion, a feeling only. Rage is a behavior that includes yelling, name-calling, throwing things, punching holes in walls, driving recklessly. Rage is dangerous to us & others. We're born with anger, just as we're born with other emotions. We are not born with rage. Rage happens when anger and resentment build up over a period of time. You don't have to keep living with rage. If you're ready to take an honest look at things and do some work, I can help.

WATCH: Beyonce's 6-second tease video!
Listen to Beyonce on iHeartRadio
Forget the 30-second clips or the behind-the-scenes footage, Bey is keeping it short and to the point…real short!
Today, Beyoncé released a six-second clip of her looking fierce, presumably gearing up for her Mrs. Carter World Tour. The snippet also featured the date 4-4-2013 which is tomorrow, Thursday. So it looks like she'll announce some big news tomorrow, which coincidentally is her five year wedding anniversary to hubby Jay-Z.
The video also featured the hashtag #BeyHereNow, so get to Twitter tomorrow to participate in whatever big news she's going to unveil.

Assistant Dean of Students Andy McAllister has lived
with type 1 diabetes since 2010.
COLUMBIA, Ky. -- Lindsey Wilson College Assistant
Dean of Students Andy McAllister tells on a blog how he has
adjusted to living with type 1 diabetes since being diagnosed with
the disease in 2010.
McAllister recounts his story on the website Diabetes Stops
Here, a blog by the American Diabetes Association designed to help
stop diabetes.
McAllister, who was diagnosed with the disease at a local health
fair, writes that "educating myself about diabetes helps with any
struggles I face."
"Knowledge is power, and the more knowledge I gain proves that I
can maintain control," he writes.
Kentucky's rate for adults diagnosed diabetes is the
seventh highest in the nation, according to the Kentucky Cabinet for
Health and Family Services. About 9.9 percent of Kentucky
adults -- or 318,000 people -- have diabetes. The national rate is
7.5 percent.

New big thing: Beard transplants
(NEWSER) – It's hard out there for facial-hair-challenged men: Beards are in, and some guys who are less fortunate are turning to a popular beard transplant procedure to spur some growth and cheat mother nature. According to DNAinfo, more and more New York doctors are seeing men—from Brooklyn hipsters to advertising execs—opt for hair transplant procedures. "The increase has been five, six times what it was initially. And I would trace it back to about three, four years ago, maybe when Brad Pitt walked down the red carpet" with a beard, says one. The procedure, which costs anywhere from $3,000 to $8,500, involves removing hair from a "donor" area—either the back of the head or the chest—and implanting it on the face. Newsy reports:

One could make the case that the Reverend Dr. Martin Luther King Jr. was the most significant American of the 20th century. He is only the third American whose birthday is commemorated as a federal holiday, a distinction not even granted Ben Franklin, Thomas Jefferson, or FDR. Although King is one of U.S. history's most widely chronicled individuals, there are aspects of his life that are less well-known than the pivotal speeches, the campaigns against Jim Crow city halls from Montgomery in 1955 to Memphis in 1968, and the dalliances that for some, tainted his personal life. King was as complex a figure as exists in our social narrative. He was a man conflicted by his commitment to a movement into which he was drafted against his better judgement and by the overwhelming demands to fulfill the role of human rights spokesperson. He was a husband and father who belonged to a people and a revolution, and the nation's most prominent advocate of nonviolence at a time when violence burned on urban streets, college campuses and in Southeast Asia.
But here are some things about him that may surprise you.
1. King was born Michael, and loved ones called him Mike.
The future "drum major for justice" was born Michael Lewis King, and family members called him Mike. At some point after his father, the Rev. M.L. King Sr., changed his own name to Martin Luther, the oldest son's name was also changed. Neither man spoke or wrote publicly about the change. The elder MLK insisted that his oldest son's name was incorrectly recorded as Michael at birth, implying that the boy was named after reformer Martin Luther. Some accounts state that both names were changed in 1934 (when Junior was five) following the father's visit to Germany, when King Sr. developed an appreciation for the first Protestant. Other biographers state that King Jr. changed his name as a teenager so as to again be named after his preacher father. Whenever the appellation occurred, it was never filed legally. Like religious figures before him, such as the disciple Simon and the apostle Paul, King underwent a spiritual name change. Though his wife called him Martin, to his big sister Christine, and the rest of his immediate family he was forever Mike.
2. King wanted to marry a white cafeteria worker.
At Crozer Theological Seminary, in Chester, Pennsylvania during the late 1940s, King fell in love with a German cafeteria employee named Betty. Fellow seminarians, both white and black, talked him out of it, partially on the grounds that King's father would frown upon the interracial romance of a son he was grooming for a successor role in the pulpit. Not only would the relationship have been taboo in King's native Atlanta, but even had King chosen to pastor in the North (and further disappoint his father), MLK Sr. would have still viewed the cafeteria worker as below his son's station. Daddy King was dead set against his oldest son "marrying down." David Garrow, in his seminal civil rights book Bearing The Cross, wrote that King never recovered from the heartbreak caused by the socially unacceptable affair. The senior King was not all that enamored with his son's matrimonial choice of conservatory student Coretta Scott either, as his arranged choice of a bride for Martin Jr. was opera singer Mattiwilda Dobbs, whose father founded the Atlanta Civic League and the Atlanta Negro Voters League.
3. Picking tobacco revealed to him a more open society.
When King was 15, and again when he was 18, he worked summers harvesting tobacco in Simsbury, Connecticut, not far from Hartford. His experience as a middle-class son of a prominent black family from Atlanta's prosperous "Sweet" Auburn Avenue performing menial labor in Yankee territory helped shape his future.

cant get any decent markers here unless i order them online in the meantime i did find a good quality set of watercolor pencils, considering usual graff work would it be better to get those orartist grade regular pencils?
cant get any decent markers here unless i order them online in the meantime i did find a good quality set of watercolor pencils, considering usual graff work would it be better to get those orartist grade regular pencils?
as a beginner you need to learn how to structure your letters. a BIG part of doing so is writing them in a clean, simple, and LEGIBLE way.
avoiding beef would be a good idea at first... later too, but it depends on what you want, and how your scene is. for example, my scene is whack and it gets uber boring and lonely at times here, so personally I'm a beef digger mostly.
also at first, you'd wanna go to places people dont go to, ie: chill spots... to practice and get good can control that is, but then you have to move out of the basement if you know what i mean and out into the open to get up in the most public, and most popular and busy spots possible.
scouting your spots ahead of time is always healthy. so good on that.
dont go over good pieces if you're not better then them, even if it's a legal wall. that's the rule.
dont look for beef if you don't have teeth strong enough to chew it.
that about sums it up
To tell you the truth im really scared of getting caught. So if id want to learn can control I would do it on a canvas.you'd wanna go to places people dont go to, ie: chill spots... to practice and get good can control that is
I will try my best to stay legal.
What about not getting caught, any more rules to add?
fuck legals son. legal writers are pussies
canvas is useless for your can flow. unless you get a lifesize canvas, that could work. remember that graffiti requires you to move your whole body, not just your hand/arm... yuo gotta dance wit it to get those real nice lines flowin
more on not getting caught: don't carry any identification on you. leave your wallet at home and only take some money in your pockets... probably wear something on your face if its a public spot. umm but mostly the number one rule to not getting caught is running quick, but you said you got that down. so.. cool
peace out yo
ok so i found this abandoned place but there is a problem!!!
1st its next to a busy road
2nd its next to a racetrack and a casino
is it ok to paint?
the only other place i know is this big abandoned warehouse but its miles away
oh and maybe some spots under a big fuckoff bridge
hmm well its like a open space in the middle with big fuckoff piles of bricks and at the side closest to the road there is a small roof and on the far side there is a little place with a roof
also you can see in from the road side if you try
but the big fuckoff abandoned warehose is a big warehouse with a roof and a 2 story building and outside walls and a mini skatepark! :P
sometimes i dont understand waht i say
OK another question. I'm looking at GROG markers, right now i'm gonna stick with markers until I get better with my letters. I see there are two types of refills, ink and metal paint. Can someone here explain the differences and which one can be used on what surface? I looked at the web and there's nothing graffiti specific.
nah!... spend a day chillen with a friend in the spot... see if anything happens... if nothing... then its good
Hey so I just came up on 20 cans of striping paint in my garage, anyone ever heard of or use it to paint? The difference is basically using a chiseled tip compared to a straight point. Ive been practicin a couple throws with it and since it has a straight chiseled spray it fills way faster and more area only problem is outlines and details. the cans are also larger so they hold more. I feel like I could do some sick fast throws if I just learned to can control with em or if anything just replace the tips.
@ravid1 are the cans Krylon? cause i heard with those ones you can take a knife and do something to the chisel cap and make the spray round. youtube it or something it's pretty simple i think.
in terms of blackbooks what exactly makes something a 'freestyle'? like i know if you do a piece in pencil then go over it in pen it's not a freestyle but would it be if you just did it in pen/pencil?
I sever heads, just to sharpen my skills
I'd say a freestyle is when you don't correct a piece you've drawn. whatever your first lines were, if you keep them, that's a freestyle. that's what I think my definition of it is
i stay 3days search in this book in google to download it and in to now icant find it can some one help me plz or send me acopy of here book the name of book GRAFF: The Art & Technique of Graffiti
plz someone help me
how can i find this fuking book ( GRAFF: The Art & Technique of Graffiti)

Lake Sonoma Winery focuses on the individual appellations in Northern Sonoma County where California's top grape varieties achieve their ultimate expression of character. Zinfandel and Sauvignon Blanc come from Dry Creek Valley, where gravelly soils and a climate of warm days and cool nights produce intense fruit and impressive balance. Chardonnay and Pinot Gris are grown in the very cool, often foggy Russian River Valley, where they develop rich, crisp character. Cabernet Sauvignon is drawn from Alexander Valley, where fertile soils and very warm climate result in mouthfilling character and smooth texture. The intrinsic excellence of these regions is enhanced by sustainable farming techniques in the vineyards, which uses natural amendments and controls to enrich the soil and combat pests.
To preserve and complement the extraordinary character of these grapes, Lake Sonoma Winery meticulously handcrafts each wine. Vineyard lots are kept separate until blending and aging in small oak barrels is tailored to each individual wine. Lake Sonoma Winery produces less than 25,000 cases annually, but every Lake Sonoma wine – through its bold flavors and intriguing complexity - makes a statement. View all Lake Sonoma Winery Wines
About Russian RiverView a map of Russian River wineries
The Russian River Valley is named as such due to its proximity to the Russian River, the river itself named for the Russian fur traders who came down from Alaska in the late 18th and early 19th centuries. The Russian River is agricultural land. While there is a focus on wine, beyond the vineyards are many small, family-owned farms cultivating everything from cattle to Christmas trees.
Notable FactsThe proximity of this cool river and the rolling fogs from the Pacific Ocean make the area amenable to cool-climate grapes like Pinot Noir and Chardonnay. In fact, the region is quite known for its full-bodied, yet elegant Pinot Noir, as well as their ripe, yet lean Chardonnays. Within Russian River Valley lie the smaller appellations of Chalk Hill and Green Valley. Chalk Hill is the warmer of the two and furthest from the ocean, while Green Valley is cooler and closer to the water.
About California
The most famous of the California wine regions is Napa Valley, and these wines are certainly outstanding – but it's not as broad and diverse as its larger neighbor, Sonoma County. Down south, Santa Barbara's Santa Maria Valley is well-known for its Rhône blends, as well as cool-climate varieties like Pinot and Chardonnay. The Central Coast, the largest California AVA, has many different microclimates that lead to a wide range of wines with many sub-AVAs.

Please update your Flash Player
Jessica Miller is a born inventor. "Every day," she says, "I see things that can be made better with a good idea and some good engineering." Most of Jessica's ideas revolve around health aids and medical devices. "There are so many diseases and medical conditions that could be helped with devices that just don't exist yet."
Helping People Stay Healthy and Live Longer
Jessica works for the biomedical company Abbott, designing medical devices called stents. These mesh tubes are inserted into clogged arteries to prop them open and improve the flow of blood to the heart. Stents help people with heart disease, the leading cause of death in this country. But even when stents have been inserted, arteries sometimes close up again. Jessica works on the newest type of stents, which are coated with drugs that prevent arteries from reclosing.
She loves her job, and the fact that what she does helps people in profoundly important ways is one of the most appealing aspects of it. "I am able to help people stay healthy, live longer, and have a better quality of life through the products I design."
Finding Her Field
In high school, Jessica knew she wanted to be an engineer, but she didn't know which field of engineering would most interest her. She and her mother collected dozens of brochures from colleges and engineering groups, but it was her mother who found Jessica's future. "One weekend, my mother was sitting in the living room," remembers Jessica, "and all the brochures were spread out on the floor. My mother had studied them all and had even done some further reading. She handed me the information on biomedical engineering and said, 'This is the one for you.' And, you know, she was absolutely right."
"I always wanted to do something that helps people," says Jessica. "I was blessed with many gifts and many people who helped me along the way. I really want to give back in any way I can."
The Artistic Side of Jessica
Jessica is also a talented artist. "There are really two sides to me," reflects Jessica. "The side my colleagues know is quiet and composed. But there's this crazy artist side of me too. I love self-expression and admire people who put themselves out there with purple hair and body piercings. Of course, I don't do most of that stuff because it wouldn't go with the engineering side of me, but I think it's great."
Right now, Jessica has two goals in life. "First, I want to invent a new medical device." And the second? "I want to have a show of my artwork some day."

Best Of :: Shopping & Services
That ruffled, I'm-too-busy-creating-art-to-care-about-my-hair look is harder to maintain than you think. And that bleached-out, blunt-edge cut that peeks out from a wide-brimmed fedora takes more than one drunken night ending with broken scissors, empty Clorox bottles, and a hairy bathroom floor. A more likely explanation for such a do is the small, spartan shop tucked between a graffiti mural and Jamaican patty shop where stylists live second lives as professional skateboarders, musicians, Back Door Bamby burlesque dancers, and illustrators. The shop itself is a double agent: During the day, it's a state-of-the-art, pristine salon stocked with Sebastian products and color treatments. At night, it turns into a "saloon," hosting art parties that often feature open bars, live painting, and local DJs. You'll want to show up incognito yourself — sporting nighttime sunglasses, a mysterious trench coat, and, most important, a fresh new cut.
In 2002, the Village of Merrick Park did what no other shopping mall seemed capable of doing. It broke the stronghold the Bal Harbour Shops had on luxury goods. If you wanted to drop outrageous amounts of money on ready-to-wear items from the world's top designers, you had to travel to the small town near the Broward County line, quite a trek if you lived in Coconut Grove, Coral Gables, or Pinecrest. But the Village of Merrick Park cut travel time to a few short minutes and borrowed heavily from its Bal Harbour counterpart — an open-air layout, high-end eateries, and an atmosphere decidedly non-mall. And with stores such as Neiman Marcus, Betsey Johnson, Gucci, Tiffany & Co., Jimmy Choo, and La Perla, Merrick Park is a worthy competitor for high-end clientele. Besides, it boasts one of the few Borders bookstores still left.
When your party-animal level reaches such a high point that only an explosion of '80s sequins and shoulder pads can do it justice, or when your art-gallery day job requires you look like a '70s Lolita adorned in ruffles and soft chiffon, only one store can adequately quell your ravenous vintage appetite. Tiny, well-organized, adorned with a huge black-and-white print that quotes Alice in Wonderland, and filled with quirky details (care for a collection of doll heads?), the Rabbit Hole is an expertly curated and moderately priced potpourri of secondhand goods plucked from New York City flea markets, Los Angeles vintage warehouses, and other corners of the world where cool and original live (and where the husband-and-wife owners, who are also photographers, travel). If a bunny called this shop home, it would be the type that sports nerdy, oversize glasses; hops around in old-school combat boots; and refuses to eat carrots because "they're so conventional." In other words, exactly the type of rabbit we like.
Given that most of the used bookstores left in Miami are in strip malls and half of their stock comprises multiple copies of the same wildly popular romance and teen novels, Fifteenth Street Books could easily be mistaken for a book museum. The store, which occupies the original site of Books & Books, is lined floor to ceiling with wooden shelves brimming with actual, real, bona fide literature and grand art books featuring lavish reproductions. Climb the hardwood stairs to the sun-filled second floor and you'll find collectibles and limited-edition prints, not hidden in some showcase, but on shelves to grab and actually peruse. Scour the store and you can find some real gems, such as a copy of a first edition (albeit a later printing) of Naked Lunch in its original, though well-worn, dust jacket for $20. Heck, that's almost what a new, tacky-looking paperback of this modern-day Inferno will set you back at Borders, if you can find a Borders, that is.
Believe it or not, there's better treasure at your local Goodwill store than just macramé owls, velvet Elvises, secondhand underwear, busted-up ham radios, and cracked souvenir ashtrays from places you'll never visit. Of course, we're talking about highly collectible vinyl. Basically, as baby boomers age, enter nursing homes, and fall into open graves, they need to get rid of their awesome stockpiles of old records. And often, the easiest and most efficient way to free themselves of these extremely precious worldly possessions is simply donating them to a nonprofit thrift outlet like Goodwill. So hurry! Go pick through the '60s generation's vinyl leftovers. Sure, it's not all gold and platinum. There's a glut of stuff such as Neil Diamond's Hot August Night, Hall & Oates's Abandoned Luncheonette, and multiple copies of every single Herb Alpert album in the universe. But look hard through the junk and you'll eventually find a few rad rarities, like Velvet Underground's White Light/White Heat, or curios such as a chicken-grease-smeared first pressing of Christmas Day With Colonel Sanders. And when you're paying only $1 per LP, this kind of killer find makes you feel like an especially slick looter.
With gas prices this high, even the most motor-loving among us must be considering the benefits of switching, at least on occasion, to self-powered transportation. But maybe we're not ready to shell out top dollar for a new bicycle. If you're looking for a used bike or used parts, check out Tamiami Cyclery. The small strip-mall spot has been in business for decades and looks like it, but you'll find a menagerie of vintage frames and rare parts at good prices. Plus the staff is always polite and knowledgeable.

The Sunny 16 Rule in Photography
Although you may think that no two situations are alike, the fact is that there are quite a few constants that you can rely on to give you a good starting point. The sun is one of these things you can count on to be consistent. Of course there are things that affect the sun's output like the time of day, haze, fog, and clouds, but on a bright sunny day the light output is very consistent and knowing the camera settings for this condition will give you a guideline to make adjustments. This is where the "sunny 16" rule comes into play.
