Some time ago I was agitated by Anenome's posts to research feasibility of seasteads. I looked at available technologies, service providers and producers, starting from raw materials (like special foams or basalt rods) to hulls to fully built platforms. I figured there are at least two non-technical issues to be solved before seasteading becomes reality.
One is the legal uncertainty - I could not figure what exact constraints on seasteading apply in the territorial waters, contiguous zone, EEZ, and continental shelf. I understand that the former two are completely off-limits, but even the status of the latter two is quite unclear (e.g., could I just put up a platform in a middle of Dogger Bank without asking the UK? Would they want to regulate or tax me? Would they have a law saying they can?). Also, what about exports from the seastead - what would be their legal status? What kind of taxes/tariffs would apply?
The second issue is lack of estimates of various costs world-wide. I mean, to make a seastead profitable, it must be able to either provide some services prohibited on mainland, or it should compete price-wise. The former option attracts too much attention of the mainland's authorities, so the latter option looks less risky. Thus, the idea is to crowdsource estimates for energy, transportation, various kinds of labor, and taxes in various parts of the world, in order to come up with the business plan that can compete with the mainland-based business.
As a strawman, consider a business idea of producing salt and distilled water from seawater. Would it be cheaper on sea than on land? Why? Would the tax load on land outweight the added costs of labor, maintanence, and transportation?
Straw man? Check this out: Mining seawater for minerals via the production of fresh water:
The Sink or Swim business plan contest put on the by the SI, with the 2nd place winner being what BlueSeed went ahead and did with an offshore living space for immigration problems:
Here's a useful link for seasteading businesses as well.
As for flags, there are a number of flags of convenience that could be used, see the SI. The SI is doing the heavy lifting on the legality issues. And they are a lightning rod for investors and those interested in starting a seasteading business.
My own contribution, I hope to begin making cheap yet high quality housing through a combination of monolithic dome tech and room-scale 3D printing. Figure if I can bring the cost of owning a permanent floating structure way down, to under $100k, then societies can take off much faster, and I'd expect to have immediate customers.
I haven't diligently run the numbers yet, but it looks like I could produce a 2,000 sf floating dome, for around $10k - $20k whole-sale, using a process I'm engineering now which requires virtually no labor to produce the dome itself (in contrast to the current method of making a dome via an airform and using manual labor to apply the various layers and whatnot, which is actually still cheaper than building a traditional home, just my method is cheaper still).
Because a seastead has the luxury of not worrying about zoning laws and living space on the sea isn't an issue, what I'd actually like to do is start building larger 4,000 sf domes, maybe 5,000 ft, with the idea being that people could put a workshop on the back of the house, so that you'd have both a place to live and a place to work, whatever your trade is, with just a door between them. I think that'd be a dream for a lot of people, fishermen too.
With that in place, there's a whole lot you can do. Fish in the morning, process in the evening, etc.
Thanks for the links, I will study them.
BTW, why a dome shape? I thought it's quite unstable. As an amateur designer I would imagine an inverted cone is both more stable and is easier to produce. I can understand the choice of the shape if it is crucial for low cost... Ok, maybe you can attach some ballast on a bunch of basalt rods...
Also, isn't 3D printing cheaper than manual construction only in "very Western" (high cost of living+unions) countries?
I say homestead icebergs... terrace the surface, bolt on housing units and mount some steering motors around the water-line. The berg will deteriorate over time so you will have to move onto a new berg at some point. However, as long as you're not anchoring in the tropics, you should be able to get a decent service life out of each berg and if you choose your super-structure carefully, it should be fairly straightforward to move from berg to berg.
The nice thing about this approach is that the problem of floating is already solved. You don't have to worry about capsizing, either, as icebergs already have stable buoyancy.
Imagine you are presently on an iceberg and need to transition to a new one. Once you've identified a new home iceberg, you bring on some milling equipment (like those asphalt grinders but hand-operated) to terrace the surface. (Note that the terracing may not necessarily be a completely flat surface but, once finished, it should conform to the configuration of the super-structure). To ease the transition process, you might keep some (bolt-together) horizontal beams that can be used as a bridge to temporarily connect the old berg to the new berg. Once the surface has been terraced, you can connect the old and new bergs with the horizontal beams. Once connected, you begin the process of moving over the super-structure one unit at a time. The lowest units are riveted deep into the ice and act as the "foundation" for the rest of the super-structure. These units might be used for food-storage and other storage needs. Then, the super-structure can be moved via winching to the new berg. I'm thinking that an ideal (in terms of utility vs. economics) shell for the super-structure would be those cargo shipping containers.
Clayton -
FWIW, cargo-container homes...
The pictures of cargo container homes look better than the name would imply. I still have some reservations about thermal insulation.
We use them as motor control centers regularly. You can fully finish the inside with insulation and drywall, like a regular house.
The thing I like about the cargo-container idea is that I am a huge proponent of being "industry standard" whenever possible - you're free-riding on the back of all the engineering that went into designing cargo containers to begin with. It's like lego-bricks... the blocks are already engineered for you, it's up to you to figure out how to stack them together.
You would need some "utility" units in addition to the rented units. The utility units would facilitate:
- Horizontal passageways and stairways (spiral?)
- Utilities: water, electricity, sewage/greywater, ventilation and light-distribution (I'm thinking of "sun pipes")
Freshwater could be distributed from a "water tower" on deck to reduce pumping costs. Ventilation and daylight could be transported through "sun pipes" that would allow daylight to efficiently travel deep into the bowels of the ship - this would be crucial to avoiding the "prison atmosphere" that characterized Kowloon Walled City, for example.
In particular, I like the idea that the owner of the unit can simply unbolt the damn thing and leave - there's no issue of getting a deposit or collect for damages if a rental space is ruined. Short of dripping acid onto another tenant's unit and causing damage to it (or something like that), there's very little scope for damages since you own your unit and can do whatever you like with it that doesn't destroy its structural integrity (putting units on top of yours at risk).
One problem I can think of would be how to move units in/out and you might have to maintain service hallways and shafts for this purpose. I'm sure people would want to join units together but I think they would have to keep the units in a way that they can be seperated for installation and then joined once installed into position, kind of like how double-wide or triple-wide modular homes are moved down the highway one segment at a time then joined on-site.

BTW, why a dome shape? I thought it's quite unstable.
What gave you that impression? A dome is actually incredibly strong. You know how archs are inherently strong? A dome is a rotated 360 degree arch. The only force they have to contend with is a flattening tendency, which is countered with both your rebar strategy (wrapping the dome like a barrel is wrapped with metal to contain it from expanding) and the way you anchor it to the ground-surface.
Also, if you were to put two domes together you'd get a sphere, which would be perfect as a floating structure I think.
Andris Birkmanis:As an amateur designer I would imagine an inverted cone is both more stable and is easier to produce. I can understand the choice of the shape if it is crucial for low cost... Ok, maybe you can attach some ballast on a bunch of basalt rods...
A cone (pointing up as the walls and roof of the house) isn't as internally self-supportive as the dome is, and also much less beautiful :P
Andris Birkmanis:Also, isn't 3D printing cheaper than manual construction only in "very Western" (high cost of living+unions) countries?
Manual labor is generally 85% of the cost of building any structure or home. By 3D printing it the internal walls and the like, you can recapture a great deal of that percentage, get labor costs down to perhaps 15% of the cost of a house. That turns into pretty massive savings.
I have built houses for a living in the past, so I know more than a bit about that. I think the potential for 3D printing in this area is pretty massive. There's already people working on this problem as well, check this out as an example. It's a machine "printing" a six-foot wall in concrete (~40 second mark):
What I like about that is the curved aesthetic. I want to create seasteading as a sort of civilization 2.0, the evolution of the human species' means of living. And part of that is a new seasteading / libertarian visual aesthetic in living spaces, which embraces the curve. Traditionally the curve has been expensive and difficult to produce. But with domes and 3D printing, the curve is as cheap and easy as any other shape.
So take a dome, and imagine hobbit-hole architecture, with not flat vertical walls, but vertically and horizontally curved and curving walls.
And here's the guy working on printing entire houses. He's figuring ways to even print plumbing and electrical. That's pretty huge, that's a massive expense in a new house.
What gave you that impression? A dome is actually incredibly strong.

I didn't mean unstable in structural sense, I meant in "hull stability" sense: http://www.rcwarships.com/rcwarships/nwc/stability.html
Again, thanks for the links. Being a computer programmer and otherwise a geek, seeing the 3D printing on that scale is mindboggling. The possibilities are huge.
The iceberg idea isn't that bad, tbh. I think, if you had enough excess energy, say via nuclear production, that you could just add on to the iceberg via freezing new water onto it.
Also, have you heard of pycrete?

I didn't mean unstable in structural sense, I meant in "hull stability" sense: http://www.rcwarships.com/rcwarships/nwc/stability.html
Ah, you mean as a hull, gotcha. I thought you meant as the roof / superstructure. The current idea I have is to put the dome on a laterally extended concrete foundation, with I-beams as an internal frame for this foundation. Probably have to waterproof the I-beams with fiberglass first. On the edges of this put some floats all around, and then hang a concrete weight off the center-bottom of the structure a good twenty or thirty feet down. That combination of floats extended laterally as far as possible and a deep weight should give you maximum roll stability on the water and be very comfortable for occupants thereby, I call it a " T " configuration. It is the in-line float and weight systems, a so-called " I " configuration such as the oil rigs use that can be a major, major headache and are very uncomfortable on occupants for all their rolling and listing.
Andris Birkmanis:Again, thanks for the links. Being a computer programmer and otherwise a geek, seeing the 3D printing on that scale is mindboggling. The possibilities are huge.
Yeah? What kind of programming do you do? I have need of a programmer for my autarchy concept, and am only just teaching myself basic Python currently. Maybe we can pow-wow :)
I misunderstood you, then. I thought you are gonna use a spherical hull.
I am mostly into "enterprisey" kind of programming, though I dabbed in quite a lot of areas, from 3D graphics to simulations to networking to databases to programming language design to statistics.
What kind of programming you need? :)

I understand that part of the benefit of seasteading is mobility, however a lot can go wrong on the water, with that in mind I think a landed seastead marina would be a good lure, but I'm not sure what further legal problems would be created by building a structure up from a relatively shallow ridge in intl waters.
My thought is that the landed structure serves as a safe haven in the event of unforeseen, or underestimated weather/surf problems. It would also be of benefit as a breakwater for the seasteads themselves. I'm sure there would be many services to offer to smaller seasteads. As the community grew maybe the landed structure would grow into being the road between many seasteads.
@Ragnar: The problem with any dry land is that the "UN mindset" is that all dry land belongs to some official national government or other. (Unfortunately, I think they will do the same to "permanent ocean dwellings" if seasteading ever takes off).
One way around this might be to build an artifical breakwater anchored on an underwater "sea mount". Since the sea mount is submerged, it's not dry land and as long as it's outside of any EEZ, nobody can really claim it under current rules. But there's always the "Oh, that's part of our national heritage" crap.
I think if you're going to do it, you might as well go all the way and float freely. I think that the most conservative/cost-effective approach is to start with existing technology (e.g. a retro-fitted cargo ship) and build out from there. One thing to keep in mind in terms of weather is that because the seastead is always at sea and isn't necessarily going anywhere in particular, it can stick to areas of the ocean that are calmer and steer around potential storms.
Hmm, looks like there already are seasteads. Seems to me if the seastead people are serious, this is where they'd start. Buy one of these, anchor it 30 miles off the coast of San Francisco and start renting units.
Here's what I'm thinking of... a flat deck-barge... mount a crane on this baby and you're good to go. You don't even need a super-structure because you're not going to be navigating anywhere. You can charter a tow boat whenever you need to move from one location to another. Otherwise, just anchor in a nice calm area of ocean and get down to business. One nice thing with the crane is you don't even need a dock - any ship or craft just pulls up alongside and personnel can move over a flexible bridge while you just load/unload any cargo - even including the craft itself if it's small enough to stow - with the crane.
This doesn't have the sex appeal of a Club Stead. But it won't cost $100M, either. I don't know what one of those flat decks, crane and any other retrofitting will run you but whatever it is, is peanuts compared to the price tage of a Club Stead.

Apparently 30% or so of their interested renters are already US citizens / entrpreneurs interested in working outside US jurisdiction.
I wanted to update this page.
The Seasteading Institute has sponsored a lot of reasearch on seasteading, and has put forth their first proposal and design for a permanent seastead. They've produced voluminous pages of freely available research on a variety of factors, which can be found here.
If you scroll down a bit on that page to this heading, you'll find their design for a large-scale first seastead, which they estimate will cost some $115 million, and is entirely self-supporting, containing food, waste disposal, etc.
"Feasibility and Design of the Clubstead"
Put the shipping container house on those barges.
Then buy a bunch of those barges and make a barge city.
I love the idea of a container house. Id live in one..

ONE deeply troubling question for the Coalition emerges from the last The Age/Nielsen Poll of the year: are Tony Abbott's dismal ratings now pulling down the Liberal primary vote - and threatening the victory that seemed assured at next year's election?
The Liberal leader now has an approval rating of just 34 per cent, and is the preferred prime minister of 40 per cent of voters. Both numbers lag behind the Coalition primary vote of 43 per cent, which is six percentage points lower than it was this time last year.
And it gets worse. Abbott's disapproval is now the second-highest in the history of the poll at 63 per cent, and his net rating (approval minus disapproval) has been worse than minus-20 for four straight months. No longer can it be said that Abbott has a problem with female voters - he is almost equally on the nose with men and women alike, old and young, city and country.
Moreover, the tactic of his deputy, Julie Bishop, using almost all of the Coalition's questions in the final week of Parliament to probe Julia Gillard's conduct as a lawyer two decades ago, appears to have backfired on Abbott.
Sixty-four per cent of those who followed the AWU slush fund story disapprove of Abbott's handling of it, and 71 per cent say it has made no difference to their attitude to the Prime Minister. For all of the Opposition's focus, one in four voters are oblivious to the issue.
The number that counts, of course, is the one that best reflects voting intention, and it still offers comfort to Abbott.
Here, little has changed in the past 12 months. The Coalition is ahead on the two-party preferred vote, 52-48 (compared with 53-47), and would secure a 2 per cent swing if these figures were reflected in the election outcome.
But in almost all other areas over the 12-month period, Gillard can take a measure of comfort: from the improvement in Labor's primary vote (up six points to 35); the rise in her own approval rating (a negative 23 has been reduced to a negative four); and she now leads Abbott by 10 points as preferred PM (after trailing by four last December).
Labor's numbers went backwards in the first half of last year, propelled by internal dissent and Abbott's carbon tax scare campaign. These figures show that the clear recovery since the carbon price came in in July has stabilised, or stalled - but not yet begun to recede.
So, while Gillard ends the year with the government within striking distance and some daunting challenges ahead (including the perennial one of keeping at bay those wanting a return to Kevin Rudd), Abbott is under immense pressure to change the style and substance of his leadership.

Facebook today launched a job-board application, featuring 1.7 million listings from five different recruiting organizations.
The new application, a product of the Social Jobs Partnership that Facebook started last year with several public agencies, aggregates jobs that are already available through the separate organizations to give job seekers a central location to look for work.
This initial slew of jobs -- sorted by industry, location, and skills -- comes from BranchOut, DirectEmployers Association, Work4Labs, Jobvite, and Monster.com.
"Today's launch of the Social Jobs Application highlights what we've known all along -- that both recruiters and job seekers benefit when jobs are posted where candidates spend their time, and research overwhelmingly tells us that this is on Facebook," Stephane Le Viet, CEO of Work4Labs, said in a press release. "Undoubtedly, there will be an acceleration of the shift to social media as the primary channel to find a job with the extraordinary push of this consortium. We are fully committed to making the Social Jobs Application on Facebook the best possible resource for connecting candidates and companies."
I see this can be a good thing and bring even more internet users to the site.

With the housing industry in the slumps and fewer construction jobs, now is the time for Arizona to look at ways to diversify its economy to guarantee a sustainable future. The region's population is poised to grow from 5 million to 10 million by 2050, so we will also face the environmental challenges of accommodating rapid population growth in a fragile desert community.
The changing demographic and economic situation is prompting researchers and leaders to think about how the mega-region known as the Sun Corridor can one day become a significant economic, technological and cultural center. In moving forward, how do we ensure a balance between economic growth and environmental quality?
If the region between Phoenix and Tucson becomes a new paradigm in Arizona for sustainable development with a diverse economic base, our state — quite possibly — will be on track to advance globally. With that said, it will take a substantial amount of cooperation between business and government as well as much better marketing of the region to encourage the wave of investment to continue and accelerate.
Next month, Valley Forward Association is hosting a luncheon focused on opportunities for the Sun Corridor. Panelists include:
- Bill Pepicello, chair of the Greater Phoenix Economic Council and president of University of Phoenix;
- Lisa Lovallo, chair of the Tucson Regional Economic Opportunities and vice president and systems manager at Cox Communications Southern Arizona; and
- Morris Mennenga, president of the Central Arizona Regional Economic Development Foundation and president of Discovery Building Companies.
The program will be moderated by Janet Perez, editor-in-chief of Arizona Business Magazine, and will focus the discussion on ways Phoenix, Central Arizona and Tucson might work together to enhance growth opportunities and the quality of life issues in the Sun Corridor. Be part of the dialogue that will help shape Arizona's future!

Photos: Getty Images
By Marc Inocencio
DJ Earworm has produced the ultimate summer soundtrack by creating a mashup he calls "Summermash '14."
The song uses the pyrotechnic synths from Calvin Harris' "Summer" as the dominating beat, which is synced with verses from Maroon 5's "Maps," 5 Seconds of Summer's "She Looks So Perfect," and Magic!'s "Rude," to name a few.
The accompanying visual for the soon-to-be summer anthem is a super-cut of scenes from the song's original music video.
The DJ also released a mix in May titled "Mash Up for What," which incorporates snaps from Jason Derulo's "Talk Dirty to Me," Ariana Grande's "Problem," and DJ Snake's Lil Jon-assisted club banger, "Turn Down for What."
Check out the lineup of artists that are featured in the mega-mashup:
Calvin Harris – "Summer"
5 Seconds of Summer – "She Looks so Perfect"
David Guetta feat. Sam Martin – "Lovers on the Sun"
Coldplay – "A Sky Full of Stars"
Nico & Vinz – "Am I Wrong"
Charli XCX – "Boom Clap"
Maroon 5 – "Maps"
Rixton – "Me and My Broken Heart"
Magic! – "Rude"
Jeremih ft. YG – "Don't Tell 'Em"

When i tried to use it, i had to install it to access some program and the only option i had was to install it on my HDD. But i would like to just install it on my usb key to be able to use it as a real portable OS. My key is a 16Gb. I think i can make a new partition on my key if it's necessary but i don't know how to install back track and not even if it's possible. Thanks for your response.

Listen to 5 Seconds of Summer on iHeartRadio
Australian rock (boy)band 5 Seconds of Summer burst onto the scene this year with hot debut single, "She Looks So Perfect," which gives fans a look into their brand of rock-tinged pop. But 5SOS is a little more 'rock' than you may realize, as evidenced by their raucous cover of Green Day's "American Idiot." In fact, the guys count Green Day as a big influence on their music.

text: I noticed that Derrick Lutz was starting to get some support in the prospect poll and I was wondering if anyone has any more info on him. Looking at his stats, I see a guy who has good but not great numbers across the board. I suppose not screwing up is a good thing at this point. OTOH, I don't really see anything that stands out with the possible exception of his HR/9, and that might be a good thing for GABP, but Low A and a good pitching environment like Sarasota make his stats ring a little hollow IMO. The 23 saves last season don't really impress me without some other info to verify their legitimacy. I'm not sure what to make of Lutz based on stats alone and I was wondering if anyone had any type of scouting report on him. What does he throw? How fast is his fastball? Does he have movement? Any info is appreciated.

Lots of talks recenty about a possable match up between In Freeman and Ken Shamrock. Is this somethig you would like to see? Who takes it?
Im gona come at you like a SPIDERMONKEY.....you hear that a SPIDERMONKEY
I think it'd be a boring fight and Freeman would win it easily. The beer and whatever else that Shamrock likes these days will have taken their toll. Freeman keeps actively fit and would handle him. On BAMMA in Newcastle though I guess it would make lots of sense.
Freeman smashes Shamrock in under 5 min.
"I hate to advocate drugs, alcohol, violence, or insanity to anyone, but they've always worked for me." - Hunter S. Thompson
From Freeman's FB:
The management of Ken shamrock and have just came back with a fight purse to fight me in the UK. Now lets not forget this us the UK, not the UFC. In Shamrocks big main event fight in the UFC against Tito Ortis, the UFC paid Shamrock a huge $100,000, but hey, they are a multi billion dollar company they can afford that. Shamrock wants first class accommodation while in the UK, fair enough. He also wants first class flights, may stretch to that ... But this is his purse he has asked for to fight me, a retired fighter the same age as him ... $300,000 ... yes the biggest purse he has EVER asked for. Shamrock has showed his true colours, you sir are a coward. Why don't you just say you've not got the balls to fight me .. you call me out and over value yourself just to look like your not scared .. oh hell yes your scared. Last time you fought in the UK you got $50,000 ... your asking for quarter of a million MORE .... if you aint got the balls, stop calling me out fool.
WOW 300k...
Suppose that would help cover his funeral costs n shit.
Ian would smash him, I have no interest in seeing this fight, other than I dont like Shamcock and it would be funny to see him get a hiding...again.
Sig awaiting witty quote from someone.
Shamrock is one of the original poster boys of the ufc but his days are behind him. Asking that sort of money is unrealistic anywhere outside of the ufc. He should go back to wwe if he wants money like that he can talk a fight up and has a good name but hes starting to become a joke figure in mma circles now freeman would destroy him. Its a shame when u see guys like him hang around too long and destroy the legacy they made for themselves.
Shamrocks a loud mouth pussy these days in my opinion. Was a legend but these days meh.
Hold on.... You're all missing the real fucking crime here....
still think shamrock took a dive in that fight

A Quality Movie For All
If you want a good scare at the cinema this Halloween season, forget seeing the remake of "Carrie." Catch "Inequality for All," a documentary starring former Labor Secretary Robert Reich (pronounced rysh, if you want to impress people at parties) about the economic disparity in America. I know, I know, I just put you to sleep with that description. Believe me, this documentary makes the depressing topic FUN! There are plenty of charts and graphs to keep you entertained and if that doesn't do it for you, there's a snippet of the movie "9 to 5" and a brief mention of Dolly Parton. Talk about your economic assets.
In all seriousness, the documentary discusses a huge issue I wholeheartedly believe everyone should know a little something about. The beauty of the film is Reich. He's funny. He's self-deprecating (a genetic condition left him just a few inches taller than Arnold on "Diff'rent Strokes") but better than anything, he takes a topic that normally is boring and complex and brings it to life. His explanations make sense. He uses real-life examples and funny metaphors. I walked away not only learning a bunch of stuff but understanding how, in the words of the Fixx, one thing leads to another.
The film makes you angry, makes you think, makes you laugh and hopefully, makes you want to do something to change the upside-down situation in this country.
Unfortunately, when my dad and I went to see the movie, we were the only people in the theatre. Granted, the room wasn't huge and it was a Monday evening in the Valley. (We're still the best-kept secret in SoCal.) I hope that changes. You can find more information about the movie, including where it's playing near you, here.

A better bet would be the Schwalbe Marathon Plus tires. Q Tubes. With some of Schwalbe's Doc Blue put in the tubes will have you almost flawless.
BikeTiresDirect sells the Schwalbe Marathon Plus for $52 each. MSRP of $59. Don't know what Q tubes are, but bet they are expensive. Some folks, including me, are cheap when it comes to buying bike parts. Spending nearly $60 for a bicycle tire isn't something I will ever do. Those $20 WalMart 700C tires look pretty good.
My average cadence is 80 rpm on the trike. When I get into the flats or downhill and have the opportunity to get into the bigger ring, then I figure its at least a college try to look at the 52t. I probably spend 98% of my time in the middle ring anyway.Shimano makes a 9 speed 12 x 36 cassette. I am going to try that on my trike in a couple of months. Changing out the 50-39-24 to a 52-39-24 to compensate for getting rid of the 11t.If you need a 24x34 or 36 low gear, do you really need a 117 gear- inch high gear (52x12)? Are you sure a 112 gear-inch high (50x12) wouldn't be enough? After all, even 112" gives 34 mph at a 100 rpm cadence.
The solar panel is a bit iffy. I recently attempted to start a tour on the west coast in WA and OR using a very large solar panel that was to charge up a battery pack to power a C-PAP device. The panel was flexible enough to drape over my BOB trailer but because of cloudy, rainy and heavy woods, I was not able to get more than two or three hours run time on my C-PAP. The panel measured 21"x 30". Maybe it would have worked better east of the coastal mountains.Definitely, not a fair comparison for a solar panel to charge that type of battery. That being said, I quit using the C-Pap and went with a TAP3 mouth piece and have not looked back since. Works great (ask my wife) and since it is similar to a mouth guard, no need to worry about batteries, hoses, noise, etc from a CPAP machine. Also, the Goal Zero products worked great for me in keeping the battery packs charged, which in turn then charged the iPhone, Garmin at night while sleeping.

"He has gone to the store," announced Zorn, who uncovered his teeth an extra inch, in compliment to his own humor.
Zorn chuckled as he relieved the "merchant" of his hat and overcoat.
"All insects left on Venus with this one exception are beneficial," said Zorn.
That is the Rhine-Marne, which parallels this river, the Zorn.
The needler clattered as Zorn reeled, and then Retief's hand clamped Zorn's arm and whirled him around.
I'd need the skill of Zorn to do a thing as big and mysterious as that.
They did not amount to much, being pretty well a repetition of those Zorn had asked us at the frontier.
His nearest collaborator was one Zorn Zada, most profound scientist of the planet.
The travelers soon had sight of Zorn's ever-ready grin at the home of "the well-known tradesman."
From a thicket, in utter darkness, Zorn and Larner and the two Belas waited for the possible catch.

The Wright State women's basketball team saw Akron erase a nine-point halftime deficit and go up one with 1:49 to play, but the Raiders outscored the Zips 5-2 the rest of the way to pull out a 73-71 win Saturday afternoon at Rhodes Arena.
A Breanna Stucke layup and an Ivory James three gave WSU a quick 5-0 lead, only to see Akron tie it at 10 thanks to three three-pointers. Wright State went back in front with six straight points, including back-to-back baskets by Kim Demmings, but the Zips responded with a 16-2 run, a run that featured four more three-pointers, to go up 26-18 with 8:32 remaining in the half.
The Raiders, though, eventually tied it again at 29 following a KC Elkins three-point play and that was the start of a 14-2 run to end the half with WSU up 40-31.
Wright State shot 44 percent from the field in the opening 20 minutes while Akron shot 33 percent despite hitting seven of 14 three-point attempts.
The margin was still nine at 57-48 on a Kayla Lamotte layup with 8:57 to play, but the Zips tallied seven consecutive points to close to within two and Akron eventually took a 69-68 lead on a Sina King putback with 1:49 left.
Demmings, however, gave the Raiders the lead for good with two foul shots at the 57.9-second mark and Stucke made it 72-69 with two more with 27.3 seconds to go. Kacie Cassell had a putback to cut the deficit to one before Lamotte hit one of two free throws at the 15.2-second mark.
Akron had one final chance, but a three attempt by Taylor Ruper went off the side of the rim, bounced up and nearly went in before falling to the ground.
WSU shot 44 percent for the game and went 19 of 24 from the line while the Zips shot 38 percent and were eight of 15 from the stripe.
Demmings led the Raiders with a season-high 25 points while Stucke posted her first career double-double of 14 points and a career-high 11 rebounds. James had 10 while Taylor Stanton added seven points and 11 boards.
Hanna Luburgh paced Akron (7-2) with 26 points while Rachel Tecca had 16 and Ruper 11.
Wright State (3-4) returns to action on Wednesday, December 12, by hosting Urbana at 7:00.

Topic: how important is exercise and staying active
I would like to know how important staying active is.I had to quit work, doctors orders..but however five months later my grandbaby was born.She and her mom live here with us and i keep her during the day for my daughter to go to a career college . I am up and moving alot and love it. I don't have a routine workout or anything..I do get my rest at night, except the day of treatment ..the steroids really keep my up the first night. Is better that I stay active and moving and not be sitting around all the time? I am a fighter and HATE the Bed these days ..feel like I am wasting time..But don't want to over do myself..I usually go by my gut...and most the time my gut says move girly move...:)

Brush Fire Burns Near SoCal Foothill Homes
LA VERNE, Calif. (AP) — Fire crews are close to surrounding a 40-acre brushfire that's damaged an outbuilding in eastern Los Angeles County.
The blaze erupted shortly before 1 p.m. Friday near La Verne and swiftly grew in the brushy foothills of the San Gabriel Mountains.
It's now some 80 percent contained.
Several homes are nearby. The Sheriff's Department says deputies went door to door evacuating people and horses. A children's center in the area also was evacuated but no injuries are reported.
More than 100 firefighters, two Super Scooper airplanes and three helicopters are fighting the blaze.
The cause of the fire is under investigation.

You might remember Rob Sinclair from years gone by, when he was Keane's lighting guru and sent us great photos to post on the website. Well, for the recent UK tour, Rob was the Show Designer (and we're sure anyone who saw it will agree he did a fantastic job). Happily, Rob still found time to take a bumper crop of amazing photos, and then send them to us. So we thought we'd post all of them...
Thanks Rob!
Comments (50)
2013! It's when I see the photos of Rob. I love the lights, the photos are really colourful. I love to see all these photos and they're so many. I like the sharp contrast, when it's colourful photos then it's black and white photos. They're amazing, really awesome. Maybe you can find one word, but one picture says more than one word. I hope that all the people who were there really enjoyed the show, loved it. I wish you guys can come to Sweden, once again. I'd love to see you playing here. Keane! 2013 may be the year for me. I love you guys! KEANE! Kisses and hugs from Sweden. ;)
so colourful!!! i love it!! :D thanks rob for these amazing photos.
ME ENCANTO ESTE VIDEO QUE VI CIRCULANDO POR EL FACE ¡¡¡ KEANE CHRISTMAS¡¡ http://www.youtube.com/watch?feature=player_embedded&v=iHIOA3WDUaY
Podrían intercalar en algun concierto la canción "Allemande". Es una de las canciones que mejor encaja la letra con la música. Sobretodo cuando Tom canta "Sorry, sorry, ...." i las notas que salen de las manos de Tim lo acompañan perfectament en el sonido. Genial. Marisa Barcelona. Tim te encuentro a faltar en web. Una seguidora admiradora. Ojala te pudiera traer a casa para oírte.
Hi Guys, welcome to ARGENTINA, excellent concert! Nice photos... Nat, love Keane
This is great!!!!!!!!!!!!fantastic!!!!♥♥♥♥I LOVE YOU!!!!!!!!!:D
Great lights of all these games I regret even more not to have been with you when I see these fantastic photos a big thank you to Mr Rob Sinclair for sharing** you are the BEST I DOREEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE YOU LOT OF LOVE BIG KISSES TO ALL
ISA, from Brasil, Sao Paulo *** Just my point-of-view.... I do not like much pics of the shows, when we can´t see well the faces, details, etc. You see one, you see all of them and some are boring. I liked much Tom on the truck/big box singing, I guess it´s backstage... Rich, great, Jesse, great, Tim, great. Just some of them.... but I know the fans like these kind of pics showing the gigs, so, it´s alright! Thanks for sharing! Lots of love! XXX
wow amazing pics, I love it , thanks Rob ... greetings from Mexico ♥
Rob Sinclair. I dont' kwnow who is this man. En internet dice que es un boxeador. Si es un guru, entonces te enseña un camino espiritual. Las fotos son excelentes en cuanto a luces i colores. Parecen tomadas desde diferente ángulos. Pero es del tour por UK. Encuentro a faltar los sitios de donde son. De todas maneres, las fotos de Richard son igual de buenas que éstas. Barcelona. Marisa.
Truly outstanding & spectacular light shows & shots!!! Thanks so much to Keane & Rob, the crew & km, for the exhilarating experiences on this tour!!!! Been amazing & incredible!!! Ange xxxx
The best band, the best pictures. That's it and know I'm right. WE LOVE KEANE!!!
They are just so good!! Great, great pictures! Beautifully well taken!! Keane on stage are f*cking amazing and the photos show that very well. I'm impressed, they are really good! Thanks for sharing them with us. Brazil loves Keane
Amazing! Thanks a lot for sharing this with us!
Hey, Mr. KM.com =) Great photos and beautiful lights effects... BUT (sorry for the honesty) it seems that Bob hasn't thought about the comfort of the audience... So much light interferes with the view of the band, and sometimes even HIDE it!! THE BAND DISAPPEAR UNDER THE LIGHTS!! I feel pity for the people who received those lights just in their faces... =(
Great Job! I loved all the shots, but for me: DSC_2409-1 looks like a pool of lights and DSC_3017-1 Tom is a singing angel. These photos are full HD images. Rob & Km.com, thank you very much for sharing those magical moments. Nighty-night, beijos, Regina.
feliz de que vuelvan a Argentina!!!
Very impressive rig. I spent most of Wolf Gang's set trying to work it out technically.... ;-) I still regret missing the 2007 UTIS o2 set as the '3D-ish' rig with the bars of light and more respectively the animated Sanna artwork looks incredible. I imagine we won't ever see any of that or hear Tim play TIS live again now. :-( The 2009 PS set was cool but didn't come close to 2007 or this year. Has Rob won any awards for his work? - well deserved!
Awesome!! thanks Rob, great pictures!!!
It says "angel" on Rich's drum :)
Richard e' un vero figaccione!
Brilliant photos love them !!
Magico, Maravillos, Hermoso, simplemente no hay palabras con que describir. Espero que esto si lo haga: Sentimiento extraño, lejano, respiracion profunda, Corazon, escencia, aire entrando por mis venas, lejano y cercano a la vez, luces de Neon, no me alejen de este sueño, vida dame el tiempo, el tiempo inesperado para vivirla...
Great idea of posting all the photos, they are indeed magnificent, capturing in such a perfect way the amazing lighting of these shows...and the whole enormous magic and shine of Keane ..tk you so much,and congratulations to Mr. Rob Sinclair! ***
Amazing..... Amazing....Amazing... Amazing..... KEANE PLEASE COME TO COLOMBIA !!!!!!!!

Well done Rob.I was at Manchester arena and all I can say is wow....absolutely love Keane and so hoping your back here in 2013.....love you guys xx
I have to say that the lighting for all the Keane concerts I have been to have been brilliant...and i thought nothing could top the visuals and lighting for the previous tours but all I can say is....wow! The disco balls, the strobe lighting, the spotlights on the crowds....I'm still reeling from a fantastic night at the O2 in London...it really did make my night... you FELT as if you were watching something very special and that you were part of it all...but thats how a Keane concert makes you feel....cant wait till the next time xxx
AMAZING PICTURES ! Thanks Rob! Thanks Mr. KM! Lots of love - The Frog Prince Squad

text: Jodie Foster told the world during the Golden Globes that she is gay even though everyone already knew it. I think everyone pretty much knew Victor Garber was gay, but he had not made it official until an interview this past week which was just published. Victor, in response to a question confirmed he is gay and that he lives with his long time boyfriend Rainer Andreesen. Maybe Golden Globes time will turn out to be like the Hollywood version of Pride where everyone comes out and each year we can look forward to more people being true to themselves and open and sharing so that less people have to hide or be scared for who they are.

MELVILLE, N.Y.—Honeywell is making changes. Yesterday, the company made an internal announcement that it's combining its security and fire businesses into one new business, Honeywell Security and Fire (HSF).
David Paja, who took over as president of Honeywell Security Group in January, has been named president of HSF.
HSF will be a business unit within Honeywell Automation & Control Solutions (ACS) division.
Paja will report to Alex Ismail, president and CEO of ACS. Before being named president of Honeywell Security Group in January, Paja was VP and GM for Honeywell Transportation Systems in China and India.
Gary Lederer, president of the legacy Honeywell Fire Safety business, will lead the integration of the businesses until 2016, when he will retire. Lederer has been with Honeywell for 16 years and in the life safety business for 27 years.
The Honeywell sales teams in the legacy HSG and HFS businesses will remain in place.
A Honeywell internal announcement said: "The company remains committed to supporting its customers with the same level of reliable and quality products, service and delivery throughout this process, with a focus on transparency and open communication."
It also said that "the combination of the two businesses offers a broader and more robust portfolio of best-in-class products and end-to-end connected solutions for Homes and Buildings."
DIY and MIY—Monitor-It-Yourself—have been big topics lately. Gavin Tanner, VP of marketing for the new startup DIY security company Novi, told me that Novi is looking to "bridge the gap" between the DIY and traditional security companies.
Tanner said that Novi bridges this gap by offering a spectrum of options, ranging from MIY, pay-as-you-go monitoring, and constant professional monitoring.
I recently saw a report comparing Novi to nationals like Vivint and ADT. A primary difference is Novi doesn't charge monthly fees, installation costs or have contracts, while traditional security companies do. I wanted to take a closer look at the main differences is both installation and monitoring.
Novi's product, the Guard, incorporates a camera, smoke detector, motion sensor and into one device. The Guard is battery operated and connects to a hub linked with the user's router. It has not been officially released, Tanner said, but roll out should begin in the next 6 weeks. The most basic model of Novi's system is entirely DIY install and MIY.
"We offer you the DIY benefit of self install … there's no contracts, there's no monthly fees to use it," Tanner said. "That being said, we have additional features that you can add-on, features that you would often find at a traditional security company like ADT."
"We [will] offer professional monitoring at a monthly rate, [but] there's still no contract—you can opt out at any time. We offer cloud storage—which, again, [has] no contract." It can also incorporate a cell connection, he said.
Tanner said Novi's monitoring would be at a third party monitoring center, though he declined to say which central station.
Novi is currently exploring a pay-as-you-go option for professional monitoring as well, Tanner said. As examples of pricing, Tanner estimated full monitoring would cost around $8 to $12 dollars per month, or $4 to $5 per week.
Tanner said that the company is exploring how to give customers the option of professional installations, through installers close to them.
Novi is based and manufactured in Orem, Utah.
More than a month in advance, CSAA's hotel block for its annual meeting sold out. Talking with Elizabeth Lasko, the organization's VP of marketing and communications, this booking was faster than in previous years and AHJ presence alongside expanded educational sessions might be why. The meeting will be held in Sonoma, Calif., Oct. 10-14.
"We are pleased to have sixteen representatives from AHJ organizations attending, our largest representation in several years," Lasko said, which includes Chiefs of Police, State Fire Marshall and Sheriff organizations. These groups have time both by themselves and with the CSAA members, she said. "They've got their own unique challenges that they want to alarm industry to be aware of, and we're working hard to build those relationships."
"We think that we've done a good job listening to the members who said they want to see a ramped-up education program," Lasko told me. "[Members have] responded by signing up early and in high numbers."
The meeting has three featured speakers, covering topics such as cybersecurity as it pertains to alarm monitoring, and understanding different people and personalities. Lasko also pointed to a session on understanding what current health care trends mean for employers as a key benefit for attendees.
There is still space for more attendees at the meeting; they would just need to make other hotel accommodations.
I hope everyone has had a great summer! I know I have. Too short here in the Northeast, of course, but it's always fabulous.
And here comes ISC East! Just weeks away, Nov. 18-19. The SIA-sponsored show in the Big Apple promises to provide "insights, education" and information about "the latest products, technologies and services" in security.
There will be more than 200 exhibitors, including 50 companies new to the show, according to SIA, not to mention educational sessions, networking opportunities and more.
Look out for my exec ed, Martha Entwistle, while you're there. If you have any great story tips on resi security, pass them along to her and she'll pass them along to me. I'm always lookin for trend articles, stories about companies growing, expanding their territorty and so forth. Just give me a shout!
Researching cybersecurity is eye-opening, PSA Security Network CEO Bill Bozeman told me during a recent call about PSA's cybersecurity program, which is moving into its second year.
Bozeman said that "when and if" a cybersecurity breach occurs in a physical security system, integrators will be "in the line of fire" in terms of liabillty.
With the objective of "educating our partners about cybersecurity so they can mitigate the risk," PSA has formed partnerships with cybersecurity service providers and manufacturers who have "proven expertise" in cyber security.
Among the partners is a law firm that specializes soley in cybersecurity law for physical security companies. In my opinion, that alone should make integrators think twice about ignoring cybersecurity education.
Bozeman emphasized that PSA is not in the business of certifying or testing any products or services. Rather, Bozeman has been working with a group of cybersecurity experts and some integrators to "vet" partners for integrators.
PSA is launching a webinar series to introduce cybersecurity partners to integrators and "set up potential parnterships." The series launches this month and will go through April.
PSA has also come up with a checklist of "Six things integrators can do now" to protect their businesses. Here's the list. More details are available here.
1. Conduct a cybersecurity assessment
2. Educate your team
3. Purchase cybersecurity insurance
4. Update your contracts
5. Choose cyber-hardened products
6. Educate your customers
PITTSBURGH—Vector Security has acquired Pelican Security Network Inc., a regional alliance of independent life safety and security services providers, fire protection companies, alarm dealers and systems integrators based in Baton Rouge, La.
The employees and more than 17,000 Pelican customers merged with Vector Security on Sept. 1, according to a prepared statement from Vector.
Amy Varisco will lead the newly formed Gulf District, which includes the Pelican Security Network of companies, for Vector Security, according to the company.
"In Vector Security, we have found the perfect company to transition our valued customers," said Louis J. Resweber, Pelican president and COO. "We have been impressed with Vector Security, watching as they grow and provide exceptional service to their customers, all with a focus on the regional support that communities want and need. I am confident that Vector Security will provide the quality products and customer service our customers have come to expect from Pelican Security Network since 1998."
Pam Petrow, recently named CSAA president and Vector CEO, "We look forward to introducing the Vector Security brand to the Louisiana, Texas and Mississippi markets as we focus the company growth across these regions in the coming months.
Avigilon, a video surveillance and end-to-end security solution provider, today announced two resignations and a management reorganization.
Bryan Schmode has resigned from his role as COO, and Collis Heath, SVP of Global Operations, has also left the company.
There have been a number of changes in Avigilon's management ranks over the past few months. In August, Pedro Simoes, SVP of global sales, resigned and was replaced by James Hendershot. In May, Danny Cam, VP of Engineering left and was replaced by CTO and SVP Mahesh Saptharishi.
There have been several management changes in the past few years as well. The company announced today plans to streamline its senior management reporting structure "to increase operational efficiency."
Avigilon's seven major departments—product development, sales, marketing, operations, finance, legal, and human resources—will now report directly to Alexander Fernandes, Avigilon's founder, president, CEO, and Chairman of the Board.
"This refreshed structure brings Mr. Fernandes closer to Avigilon's day-to-day operations while empowering department leaders with greater authority," the company said in the announcement.
Avigilon has been one of the fastest growing security companies. Its stock, which trades on the Toronto Exchange, closed at $12.37 on Sept. 2. Its 52-week high is $25.62. Its low is $12.34.
Private equity firm Huron Capital Partners is working with long-time Siemens executive Terry Heath to build a fire detection platform company. Huron will work through holding company Sciens Building Solutions. Huron defined the ideal acquisition as a Canadian or US fire detection provider to large commercial buildings, generating at least $15 million in revenue.
Huron Capital announced this Tuesday, listing "products, inspection and test services, ongoing maintenance and monitoring" as the scope of fire detection. Huron emphasized Heath's experience in technology, specifically with fire and security products. He was, most recently, Siemens' SVP of Corporate Technology USA.
"We are excited to partner with Terry to build a national platform focused on exceptional customer service and specialized capabilities within fire detection," said Jim Mahoney, partner at Huron Capital, said in a prepared statement. "We believe demographic and regulatory trends will drive growth in the fire detection space, and Terry is an experienced executive in this market who will provide strong leadership to the platform."
"Huron Capital is a great fit for this opportunity and I'm looking forward to the mutually beneficial partnership as we look to establish a strong presence in this industry together," Heath said in the statement. Through its business model, "Huron Capital can provide the necessary financial, strategic and operational resources to support my goal to build and lead a world-class fire detection services business," he said.
Huron Capital is based in Detroit. Started in 1999, it has raised more then $1.1 billion in capital.
CPI Security now has a lot of room to grow, including some R&D space. The company started building a new 120,000 square-foot building a few weeks ago. Recently, I got a chance to catch up with Ken Gill, CEO of CPI, and talk a bit more about the new facility's design and how it compares to—and expands on—the current one.
Room to grow is a big theme with this building. Not everyone at CPI is moving over to the new facility once it's built, Gill said. In fact, the company currently plans on maintaining both buildings on its 28-acre campus.
"Even though we're not required to, the entire building will be UL-listed so we can operate [the central station] anywhere in the building," he said.
The central station, which will move to the new facility when its completed, will have almost triple the space it has now.
"We'll have better training space in there. Research and development [space] is going to keep us on the forefront of technological advances," said Gill.
The current 47,000 square foot headquarters was built in late 2001. Gill said he expects the move to be done around the end of 2016.
The building will have amenities like a dining facility and gym to attract and retain employees, he said. It will be environmentally friendly, and CPI will seek LEED certification for the building.
"If we keep our employees happy, then they'll—in turn—keep our customers happy, they'll be more engaging with the customers," Gill said.
CPI's new building could even help the atmosphere. "Any time that you make investments into the business, it creates good morale," he said. "When folks see growth, they see opportunity, from an employee standpoint, and we want our employees to know that they do have opportunity."
CPI has about 130,000 customers in the Southeast United States.
The California Alarm Association has planned four regional meetings in September.
An EBAA general meeting will be held in Richmond Sept. 8; an IEAA general meeting in Riverside Sept. 15; an OCAA general meeting in Anaheim Sept. 16; and an an SDSA general meeting in San Diego Sept. 17. RSVPS are needed.
Additional general meetings are planned for October and November.
The organization is also planning for its winter convention, Dec. 9-12 in San Francisco, where the George A. Weinstock Award will go to Matt Westphal of Bay Alarm.

Currently I'm really stuck with my work. I'd really need to get the trunk merged into my branch (because of some new renderfeatures res wrote for my purpose and because I do have to extend the RM which is not in my branch!), but ever when I do that, the resulting code is not running well. Means, I don't get any 3D output on ANY testapp.
As long as I could not solve this problem, I can't do any big step... unfortunatly! (Really annoying thing)
There are some good news though: The csCloudSystem was tested and works fine by now. Then the a first version of the RM-extension is implemented as well. But as long as I'm not able to test it or even compile it, I can't say if it's working as it should!

I'm about to implement the renderingstuff. I already did various things (especially preparation stuff) and now I'll have to extend the rendermanager. It will take while till I understand how the whole thing works, but it's necessary!

The last few days I worked to get the plugin running. Now it does. I made also several changes on the interface. After the plugin was finally running, I made some first performance tests and debugged all SERIOUS problems (no crashing anymore ;-)). Physical problems I'll be first able to detect, when I've written some rendering methods, to watch the cloud evolution itself.
After now, I'm going to check out all the rendering stuff. So till then ;-)

This week I worked very intensly on cloud dynamics. I could improve it further I initially expected. By now all main-methods and functionallities are implemented, but not tested yet. Now I want to figure out the best way for debugging a simulation. I think a graphical approach would be the best in this case, but we'll see...

Yesterday I finally got the msvcgen run due to help of res, xordan, brandano and vknecht.
Afterwards I immediatly started with implementation. After some initial issues I got the existing code running and extended it.
Currently am working on various aspects of the cloud-dynamics. The basic construct is already coded, now I take care of some calculus-functions and other helper methods which are needed by the simulation.

So... Since I've many exams right now, I didn't had much time to work, but I was able to steal a little bit and I put down the first Interfaces for the cloud system
Kategorien: CloudSystem, 36 W—rterSende Feedback • Permalink
Currently I'm tring to find a good design for the cloudssimulation system.
As soon as I "found" a good one, I'll start to implement first the cloud dynamics, without concenring the whole rendering stuff.
Till then

Hullo, Graham here again and this time I'm gonna' tell you a bit more about what it's like being the script writer of LEGO City Undercover. But rather than tell you in general like last time, I'll take you through one of our exciting days at the recording studio in LONDON*...
5.10am - Alarm goes off. Ugh. I hit the snooze button.
5.19am - I get up, notice that it's still dark outside and reconsider my choice of career.
5.40am - I arrive at Mauldeth Road station just in time to notice they've cancelled my train to Manchester Piccadilly. I panic and then call a taxi.
6.00am - Flustered, I arrive at Manchester Piccadilly. I get on the train. I get off the train. I get on the right train.
6.10am-8.10am - I spend the journey to London preparing for the day ahead, re-reading the script and making notes.
Or, if it *isn't* my boss reading this...
6.10am-8.10am - I watch 2.7 episodes of Star Trek: Deep Space Nine on my laptop and eat a chicken and bacon sandwich.
8.30am - I get to the recording studio in London's trendy Fitzrovia. Doug - who videos some of the actors in order to do the lip-syncing** for them - is already there because he has to set up cameras and whatnot. Then I ask if we're seeing any new actors during this session. I Google them to see if they've been in Doctor Who. In case you're wondering, at least 2 have.
8.40am - Loz Doyle, LEGO game producer extraordinaire arrives. I just put this in to make it clear that he always arrives after me, despite him only living an hour away.
8.45am - I drink a cup of tea. I will repeat this at least eight more times throughout the day.
9.00am-1.00pm - The actors and actresses arrive in turn for sessions of 1 to 4 hours each.
We start by chinwagging about what play or TV show they're doing at the moment and then get on with the recording.
The actors read out their lines, one or two at a time. These might be new lines, or they might be lines we've recorded before but which have changed due to the gameplay changing or because I got something wrong the first time. I'll let you guess which of those two options happens most often.
If they nailed it in one take we move on, but the director (usually Mark but sometimes Damian) may ask the actor to try it in a different way. If I have a very specific delivery I'm after (due to it being a set-up or punch line to a joke or just because I'm a control-freak that way) then I'll ask for them to stress a particular word in the sentence or say it with a specific emotion. Occasionally, when my communication skills fail me, I'll give them a line-reading and feel guilty about it because actors really don't like it when you do that.
After between one and three*** takes and some discussion we all agree that the line is bang-on and move on to the next one. Either that or we agree that I've written a right turkey of a line and I rewrite it there and then.
Eventually, the actor either finishes their session or moves on to record the lines for another character. Some actors only play a single character (such as the actor who plays Chase McCain), however a few of them play quite a few, just like in cartoons.
1.00pm-2.00pm - Lunch. I eat a Schnitzel wrap and it is delicious. I check my email and answer any urgent messages. Then, if there's time, I check my work email and answer any urgent messages.
2.00pm-6.00pm - We see more actors and actresses and record more lines. It's very much like the morning session except now I've got so much tea inside me that I have to keep diving out to the toilet.
6.00pm - End of the day!
If we have a recording session the next day, then I'll find a moderately priced restaurant and eat a steak, check in to my hotel and wonder why they felt the need to put eight assorted pillow and cushions on my bed.
If we don't have a recording session then I'll get a train home, arriving at between 10pm and 11pm depending on how badly I planned my trip and how many connections I managed to miss.
8.30am - I get up at a sensible time and remember why I love my job.
* This is where you should "coo" appreciatively.
** That's where we match the animation of the mouths to the dialogue so it looks like they're really talking.
*** Or *very* occasionally, twelve.

REDLANDS -- More than 100 people attended the screening of a 45-minute documentary about child human trafficking created by the San Bernardino County District Attorney's office Thursday night at the Kirkorian Theatre.
Created by DA's office spokesman, Chris Lee, the three-year project, Teenage $ex 4 $ale, looks at the problem of prostitution, specifically child prostitution in San Bernardino and Riverside counties.
"Chris did an amazing job," said District Attorney Mike Ramos who said he waited to see the film until Thursday night so he could enjoy it with everyone else.
The documentary followed law enforcement officers, members of the California Against Sexual Exploitation of Minors or CASE taskforce and some of the women and girls themselves telling the story of human trafficking on the streets of San Bernardino County.
At one point, a woman who was not identified, revealed she had been a child prostitute. While at a CASE presentation and meeting she cried out, "Where was this when I was out there?"
Not only did the film document the problems with child sex trafficking but also showed how some are fighting back.
Pastor Paula Daniels with Forgotten Children, Inc. was able to open Rachel's House in San Bernardino in order to help the women and girls trying to get away from their abusing pimps.
"We will work to rid this type of crime in our county," said San Bernardino County Sheriff John McMahon following the screening.
Several representatives from other agencies including Homeland Security, the Department of Justice and county schools were on hand and praised the film as necessary to open the eyes of residents and parents alike.
A three-minute trailer for the film can be found at http://www.youtube.com/sbcountyda.

Hill, Mower lead Tornados at Furman InvitationalOctober 8, 2011
Women finish sixth, men eighth in Saturday action
Greenville, S.C. - Madison Hill continued her stretch of top 10 finishes and Josh Mower placed 26th overall in the men's race as the Tornados men's team placed eighth among the field while the women took sixth overall at the Furman Invitational on Saturday morning.
Hill placed sixth overall in the race, crossing the line of the women's 5K in 19:13, and was second overall among Division II runners behind Anderson's Whitney Bishoff. Angela Canale crossed the line a minute and a half later at 20:47, finishing 30th overall in the race, while Heidi Kaartinen and Ariel Muiselaar both placed in the top 50 in the event, crossing the line in 43rd and 49th respectively. Ashley Lowe crossed the line at the 25:42 mark and Grace Meanor rounded out the group with a time of 27:41 as the Tornados as a team finished second overall among Division II schools in attendance.

SAINT LEO, Fla. – Both the Saint Leo men's and women's swim teams will look to avenge a last-season loss to Tampa when they take to the starting blocks Saturday morning at the University of Tampa Swimming Complex.
The Lions enter into today's Sunshine State Conference contest after big victories over Florida Tech on November 5. Both the men's and women's squads are 2-1 on the season, having dropped their opening meet of the season to Nova Southeastern, but bouncing back to defeat Rollins at the Tars' home venue in Winter Park, Fla.
The last time the Lions and Spartans clashed on the pool deck, UT picked up a 112-87 victory over the men, and a 117-68 win over the women.
"It's going to be a challenge, but our kids have been working hard and are up to the task," said head coach Paul Mangen. "As always, we're going to focus on the improvements we want to make in the pool, and concentrate on making ourselves better."
Tampa is offering live VIDEO COVERAGE of today's dual meet.

hey i was wondering if the tides are off or something because todat its sayin low is about 6 and high is about 12 but when i was at the inlet the tide was moving out preety strong and it was a little after 9.
hmmm. thats odd.
those tide are on pace with what other sites are saying.
The tides are predictions, but generally not off by very much.
If you are referring to the inlet itself, the bay tides run roughly an hour behind ocean tides, and the current in the inlet reflects that since it's the only entry/exit point for the bay and that current has been known to run 8-10 knots. That's one reason the inlet surf break water is typically 8-10 degrees warmer than other places in town since the bay water swirls all around the area. Other spots in town happen to be quite chilly lately, but that's not unusual. Last year some people still found reason to wear short sleeve full suits as late as 7/19, go back and check the photos from that date and you'll see what I mean.
If you are referring to the actual tide at the surf break, I'd have to say that it's remarkable that you noticed it since you'd have to sit and watch it for about an hour to notice any appreciable ebb.
One way to tell is how much the waves are actually breaking, because the inlet surf break is generally more sensitive to tidal influences, especially with that steep ledge at water's edge. Also keep in mind that there's generally always a rip flowing seaward right alongside the jetty. That's why so many utilize the rip when first paddling out, it's a quick way to the outside of the break.
i completly agree with wat he said
Short explanation: Even an hour after low tide, the ocean level is still lower than the bay level so the water continues to flow out of the inlets...it keeps on flowing out until the ocean level final reaches the same level (and then higher) as the bays, then it starts flowing in the inlets.

Ogden • Weber State, angry and disappointed, was determined not to allow its seniors to go out on a losing note at home.
Cal Poly was the unwitting victim.
So, following the Wildcats' 42-point victory in the first round of the CollegeInsider.com Tournament in which they tied the school record for wins in a season, they will have at least one more home game, hosting Air Force on Saturday at 7 p.m. in the Dee Events Center. The Falcons (18-13) are coming off a 69-65 victory at Hawaii on Wednesday.
It was the same day that WSU's senior guard Scott Bamforth knocked down seven 3-point baskets and scored 23 points en route to an 85-43 victory against hapless Cal Poly. Sixteen teams remain in the tournament.
Last season in the CIT, following a loss in the Big Sky Conference Tournament, the Wildcats (27-6) were not quite 100 percent committed to the CIT. Not so in 2013.
"In practice there was definitely an edge," said Weber State's junior center Kyle Tresnak, who scored 20 against Cal Poly. "We weren't just going to phone it in."
Air Force finished sixth in a strong Mountain West Conference, one that sent five teams to the NCAA Tournament. This season, the Falcons have beaten New Mexico, San Diego State and UNLV. Michael Lyons averages 17.7 points.

President Obama releases statement on George Zimmerman ruling
President Barack Obama — who, once famously said "if I had a son, he'd look like Trayvon" — released a statement on Sunday about the not guilty ruling for defendant George Zimmerman.
On late Saturday night, George Zimmerman was found not guilty by a jury of six women. The State of Florida charged him with second degree murder, with manslaughter as an option, for shooting and killing the unarmed 17-year-old teen, Trayvon Martin.
"The death of Trayvon Martin was a tragedy," the president says. "Not just for his family, or for any one community, but for America. I know this case has elicited strong passions. And in the wake of the verdict, I know those passions may be running even higher. But we are a nation of laws, and a jury has spoken. I now ask every American to respect the call for calm reflection from two parents who lost their young son. And as we do, we should ask ourselves if we're doing all we can to widen the circle of compassion and understanding in our own communities. We should ask ourselves if we're doing all we can to stem the tide of gun violence that claims too many lives across this country on a daily basis. We should ask ourselves, as individuals and as a society, how we can prevent future tragedies like this. As citizens, that's a job for all of us. That's the way to honor Trayvon Martin."
