no pause button, no homming missiles, not a single chance to repair the fort, no wall upgrades like thicker walls with thorns in front of them, no mines and no english language so i know how much the upgrades cost and what they do.
besides that, good idea.
this game is very good but its not in the english and the music is the same thing over again so i just play some young jeezy
The music gets very repetitive!!
otherwise everything was pretty smooth and on point.
It's a pretty good game. Splatting the spiders is very satisfying. The upgrade system seems interesting. I just wish it was in a language I could understand.

The Zebrette are keen to sign the Old Lady youngster, but might have to give the Serie A champions first right to the Colombian in order to make a deal happen
Elia Raimondo
Juventus have set their sights on Luis Muriel as Udinese aim to lure Richmond Boakye away from the Turin giants this winter, Goal.com can reveal.
The Zebrette are keen to add some more firepower to their squad in the January transfer window and they have earmarked the 19-year-old as the perfect signing.
The young striker, who is co-owned by Genoa and Juve, has scored nine goals in 17 games on loan at Serie B outfit Sassuolo this season, and Udinese are ready to give him the chance to prove his worth in the top flight.
Juventus could be tempted to sell their 50 per cent of the player's rights under the right conditions, but want an option to sign the 21-year-old Muriel as part of the deal.
Both sides have developed a good relationship as Udinese sold Kwadwo Asamoah and Mauricio Isla to Juventus in the summer transfer window, and Boakye and Muriel could be the next players in line to switch between Turin and Udine.

Cold weather means different things to different anglers. While some folks have put their rods away to wait for spring, others are still out there experiencing great action on schooled-up red drum. These drum, often called redfish, provide year-round sport for shallow-water anglers when other fish have run to warmer climates.

The epic Druid of the Wild is an epic class Druid of the Wild. This druid shapes and alters nature. They wield their most terrifying aspects and take the forms of their mightiest creatures. To witness them in combat is to suffer the fury of a raging hurricane, while to observe them in meditation is to feel serenity of rustling grasses. They must divide their attention between combat ability and magical prowess. Both are useful, so they follow their natural instincts.[1]

Hi....New BFD2 user here and after some frustration setting up I finally have BFD talking to my interface and to my computer. The problem is now that I have my td9 triggering the sounds i'm getting some "choking" of notes when I play fast and also when I play a fast tempo groove it's like the sounds can't keep up...Latency? At slow speeds I can detect a very small latency from when I hit to when the sound regesters...barely anything and it doesn't bother me because all the notes articulate properly. The cutting off only occurs at higher speeds and tempos. Makes it sound fake.
It's irritating because I am running a brand new quad core computer with 4 gigs of ram through a presonus firebox set at the lowest latencey it has...(I've seen others on youtube who get zero latency with these). I would think this would be more than enough computer power to handle BFD.
I've played around with the triggering options in the td 9 as well. Any suggestions would be helpful. I'm sure there are just some settings I need to tweak but not sure what.

Another Bear Attack on Elk Hunter
Yet another hunter has been attacked by a grizzly bear. Timothy Hix of Jackson, Wyoming was elk hunting on Sunday in Grand Teton National Park. He was headed south over Glacier Overlook and surprised what he believes to be a grizzly bear. The grizzly bear was about 10 yards away. Hix did not have his pepper spray ready, so he dropped to the ground and covered his head. The bear bit him a couple of times, and may have swiped at him.
Hix was able to call for help. It took responders 45 minutes to reach him, and treat him in the field then get him to a hospital. He was in good condition today, with a possibility of going home later today.
Everything he did was correct in dealing with a bear. The bear was surprised and attacked, it is a lone incident. Hix had not killed an elk, just had the misfortune of taking a bear by surprise. Tips for safety:
* Hunt with a partner.
* Carry bear spray (required).
* Avoid "dark" timber during mid-day when bears may be using a day-bed.
* Have a predetermined plan of action for retrieving harvested game from the field.
* Be extra cautious after making a kill and when hunting in areas where animals have recently been harvested.
* Avoid hunting in areas where fresh bear sign is repeatedly observed.
* Avoid gut piles.

Mr. Hix is one lucky man for
Mr. Hix is one lucky man for sure. I think it would have been allot worse if he had and elk down and had any blood on him from that. As stated many time, hunting alone in grizzly country is not a great idea. I understand sometimes you cannot find a partner but still would have to really think about hunting alone. Glad he is alright and it seems more of a bad chance meeting than the bear aggresivly attacking which is a good thing.
Unfortunately, alot of the
Unfortunately, alot of the things they tell you to avoid are things that go along with hunting. Avoid gut piles? Okay, check! Avoid places where animals have been recently harvested? Check! Finally, avoid dense timber during mid day? Check. All of those things go along with hutning public ground. So many overlapping hunts, it's hard to avoid.
Glad to see this guy came out relatively unharmed. Many, many bear attackes this year. This guys appears to have done everythign correctly.
Just way too many bear
Just way too many bear encounters this year. I don't know if it is due to food sources being more limited or there are more bears in the areas being hunted or there are more hunters out there or even a combination of all. With all that we have read about this year there will definitely be a push for the remainder of this year for being more focused and aware fo possible bear encounters plus a greater push come next year when the elk and deer seasons begin.
We don't have grizzly here where I hunt but the possibility of a black bear encounter is still there. I have already purchased my bear pepper spray and have practiced in the field behind the house. I feel I am ready should the need occur.
Now I also think this hunter within the article did the only thing he could have - drop and cover. The bear was absolutely too close for a quick enough action of pulling out your bear spray and using it. Thankfully this hunter will be okay. Maybe more apt to hunt with a partner real close by next time? I know I would definitely be.
Responders there within 45 minutes - that is actually pretty darn good if he was up in the mountainous areas there. I know it is a park and the appropriate people are most likely on sight within the park but having the ability to call and get help for yourself and the response time is that quick then your chances for survival are that much greater. Kudos to the responders.
We'll see how the rest of the season goes but I expect we will be reading about another encounter within the near future and hope it is not with human loss.
Wow another attack. I have
Wow another attack. I have lost count of how many that has been this year. I'm glad Mr. Hix was not seriously hurt. It could have been a lot worse. The article said he had spray which is a good thing he just didn't have time to use it. I can imagine if the bears was only 10yards away. That would take the bear about 2-3 seconds to get to him. I hope the bears will den up soon so we can stop reading about these attacks. I'm also glad according to the article he did everything right in this case and that's what saved his life. At least he had phone service and was able to make a call to 911. None of my 3 phones work where I go hunting so I'd be screwed.

...but the variance in bioequivalency can also likely make a difference in birth control pills. As a nurse, I know it's recommended that when switching the pill you're on, you should use backup protection for the first month until your body adjusts to the level of hormones in the new pill. Now imagine getting a different generic pack of pills every month; there are literally dozens of manufacturers of generic birth control pills, and your local pharmacy usually buys from wherever they can get the best price.
The other big one is thyroid medication and blood thinners. The generics of these often don't work as well as name brand. It's best to either always take name brand, or always take generic.
Most of the time, generics are great. Not always. And for the most part, they are certainly better than nothing. If you're concerned about it, talk to your doctor and pharmacist about what options are best for you.
Generic Drugs: Not Always The Same?
In the world of prescription drugs, generic equivalents have been a financial blessing for many patients, saving them millions, if not billions, of dollars each year. For the most part, they perform the same function as brand name drugs at a fraction of the cost. A recent article in the New York Times, however, has indicated that some generic drugs might not work as well as their brand name counterparts.
The evidence thus far, however, has been largely anecdotal. People have reported on various websites, including People's Pharmacy, that when they switched to generic drugs, either they did not work as well or they experienced adverse side effects. The take home message from all of this is that not all drugs are created equally, and generic equivalents might in fact not do as good of a job at alleviating ones' symptoms.
This is of particular concern when the medication involves ailments whose side effects can seriously affect a person's health, including the fields of cardiology and neurology. In fact, the American Academy of Neurology has gone so far as to say that they are not in favor of generic substitutes for certain anticonvulsant drugs (for treating epilepsy) without proper physician's approval.
The issue, to say the least, is controversial. The insurance industry is particularly supportive of generic drugs and often insists that they be used (or else incur a penalty in the form of higher co-payments), and the Food and Drug Administration (FDA) as well as the American Medical Association (AMA) both agree that generic drugs work just as well as brand names. But there are an increasing number of incidences that seem to tell a different story, and the growing wave of concern is causing the field of medicine to take notice.
Generic drugs are essentially a cheaper alternative to brand name medications. When a new drug hits the market, it maintains patent protection for twenty years. When the patent expires, other drug makers can rush into the market and sell the drug at a lower price.
According to the FDA, the generic equivalent must have "the same active ingredient, dosage form, and strength," as its brand name counterpart, though not necessarily identical. It must also be bioequivalent, which means that it must result in blood levels of the active ingredient that are very similar to the brand name drug.
To be considered bioequivalent, the generic drug must achieve blood serum levels that are 80% to 125% of the reference level, a range that some experts feel is too wide and might possibly result in the reduced absorption, and thus effectiveness, of a drug. This is especially important when treating heart conditions and seizures.
Interestingly, the differences might even be of concern when switching from one generic brand to another, and the patient might not even be aware of the change due to the fact that pharmacists are not obligated to inform them of it.
For now, there have not been any well established clinical studies that offer concrete evidence that generic drugs are in fact less effective, and experts contend that in most instances, generic drugs work just fine.
If you have concerns, speak with your physician. If you have questions about the brand or makeup of your medication, discuss your concerns with your pharmacist of insurer.

Generics can be good, but I learned the hard way why many in the pharma industry say they would never take them. I have to take Lamictal for a depression-related illness and until last summer, there was no generic for it. Once the generic came out, my insurance covered it for the standard $10 co-pay (for the brand, I'd have to pay $150 for one month's supply). So I tried the generic and almost went nuts. My mind was foggy, I couldn't "get the words out of my mouth" and my problems w/depression-related stuff immediately resurfaced; this happened immediately and went on for the month I stuck it out. I finally spoke w/my doctor who said that it's often a crapshoot w/generics like this one since the binders (the stuff that holds the compound together) are not usually the same as the brand (& can often change from batch to batch), thus all my horrid reactions. So I had to suck up the higher co-pay if I wanted to function fully. I will never, ever take a generic again as this was a complete disaster that could have had truly serious implications on my health.
My first bad experience was when I was taking Zantac. When it became generic, my heartburn got so bad, I was in a panic. It was the med not working, so what about meds that you can't "feel" how they work. Second experience was with generic prozac, didn't work at all, got around that by asking the doc to double the dose. As a nurse I wonder how many people we label non-compliant when their generic meds are to blame?
Thanks for posting this article. I work in health care and see this problem every day. For some medications, generic equivalents would be just fine. But for many meds (antiseizure meds are a good example) the medication has what we call a "narrow therapeutic window." That means that the drug dosage has to be carefully calibrated for the individual patient. Too high and there are major side effects. Too low and there are breakthrough seizures. Often it can take weeks or months to figure out the appropriate dosage of medication needed to control a particular person's seizures. Since generic meds are allowed to have 80-120% blood levels, you can imagine how switching from one generic to another every month can really mess up that patient. It is essentially like changing the dosage of medication every month! Now imagine if you were an epileptic patient. Having seizures is no fun--and it is also life threatening. Many states have laws that disallow patients from driving until they are 6-12 months seizure-free. Without transportation, how do you hold a job? But,the out-of-pocket cost of the brand name drugs is often much more than the patient can afford. We are truly putting these patients in a Catch-22 by insiting that all generics are perfectly fine for all patients. Sorry, but medicine will never be a one-size-fits-all thing.
That said, I do think that generics have a place as a substitute for brand name meds without that narrow therapeutic window. I just think a doctor should make the determination, rather than an insurance company.
My dog was on (human) anti-seizure medicine for years. After several years of getting this same medicine at my vet, one day I noticed that the pills looked different. I called, to see if there was a mix-up. I was assured that the pills were fine, just a generic and they had switched to pass a cost-savings on to their patients (I can't remember if I paid less that day, it's been a few years). Anyway, I gave my dog the pill that night, and then, another one in the a.m. My husband found our dog in a full-on seizure, near death. later that day. We ran him to the vet, and I was assured that the new (generic) medicine was NOT the cause of the problem. I did not believe them, and insisted that they order me the non-generic medicine for my dog. We never had another problem, and my dog lived for several more years, but every time I went to pick up my dog's medicine, I got the vibe from the front desk staff of "There's that crazy woman who thinks her dog got bad medicine". Right....we would have switched to another vet office, but the next one was far away.
I am a firm believer in generics, many can and do work as well as the original. It's no biggie to find out that the generic for hay fever didn't work, bummer - my head's stuffed up an extra day. However, when referring to medications used to control seizures (there is no cure, only control) - it's a whole new ball game. I have two family members on two different brand name drugs, and have to fight with the insurance, and even more importantly the ER Doctors, who can't understand why the generic could be a problem. Yes, we need to take care with health care expenses, but it needs to be done with full awareness of the situation.

I'm by no means an expert but have known of several female border collies around that weight. A friend of mine has a blue merle female that is 24 pounds. I think they list around 24 to 55 pounds as typical. I've also known a full-blood male that was 60 pounds. She is a very pretty healthy looking girl!

Tactical grip for Pistol?
With the new rail systems available in pistols, does it make your pistol more controllable when you attach a vertical grip in front? I am thinking with a additional grip, extended ported barrel and extended magazine - we have the makings of a nice machine pistol.
Also is this legal? |

The forward vertical grip does nothing to 'control' a handgun. It does make it harder to sight and shoot. Its legal, as mentioned, if you want to spend another $200. The darn thing looks SO 'tactical' though, I am sure many gear freaks will be buying them.

They already make a shoulder stock for it, which plugs into the hole in the grip's backstrap. Never used it; not sure if it's effective. Why on EARTH is it NFA to add a simple grip support to the front of a handgun? Are the BATFE types worried about how much more lethally accurate this would make a handgun? Puhlease. If you're legal to shoot someone, you're legal to shoot someone. And of course if you really wanted to do it effectively, you'd use a rifle, which of course can legally have stuff like that. Just more proof that the laws pertaining to guns are absurd on their face, in 99.9% of cases. -blackmind |

They've got muck; we've got rakes. TPM Muckraker
Hog-Hunting YouTube Video Inspires Colorado Drone Ban
Timothy Brass, the Southern Rockies Coordinator for a group called Backcountry Hunters and Anglers said he wrote a letter to the Parks and Wildlife Commission last spring suggesting a ban on hunters using drones after seeing footage of the Dehogaflier's exploits online. After the commission received the letter, staff worked with Brass to draft a ban. In a conversation with TPM Wednesday afternoon, Brass said he believes hunting with drones violates the principle of "fair chase" of game and could be used to unfairly corral animals into a single location.
"I think a regulation is needed to protect fair chase and to protect fair distribution of game among hunters. They (drones) could potentially be used to drive animals or unfairly locate animals," Brass explained.
According to the Denver Post, the commission is expected to discuss the rule in meetings this week at the Rodeway Inn Cow Palace in Lamar, Colo. The ban will be voted on Thursday and is expected to pass. The rule would need to be approved at a second meeting to take effect.
Brass claimed the ban has "pretty overwhelming support among hunters."
"I haven't heard of any real opposition," said Brass. "I certainly have not heard of any opposition from hunters."
Multiple members of the gaming commission said they believe hunting with drones would already be prohibited in Colorado under existing regulations. A federal law called the Airborne Hunting Act prohibits people from hunting in a location within 48 hours after flying over the area. However, Gaspar Perricone, an "avid hunter and angler," who serves on the commission as a representative of "sportspersons," told TPM the ban is designed to make the prohibition on using unmanned aircraft for hunting "explicit."
"It would have been difficult to forecast the need for regulating the use of unmanned aerial drones when the Airborne Hunting Act passed in the early '70s," Perricone said. "The regulation being presented to the commission for consideration is a response to emerging technology."
James Palmer is one of the two men in "Louisiana Hog Control." He told TPM he was unaware his videos inspired the proposed ban on hunters using drones in Colorado. However, Palmer pointed out his hog-killing activities are different from hunting game since hogs are classified as a "nuisance animal" in Louisiana due to the havoc they wreak on crops.
"There is a difference between game animals and what most states refer to as 'outlaw quadrupeds,'" said Palmer. "Louisiana is the same way (as Colorado). It's actually illegal to hunt deer with any aerial aid ... nuisance animals, outlaw quadrupeds, are usually a different story."
Palmer declined to say whether or not he opposed banning the use of drones for hunting animals that are not deemed a nuisance.
"I won't comment whether I'm for or against such a law, but I will state that it's already against the law," he said.
In addition to his work with "Louisiana Hog Control," Palmer is the chief operating officer of Raven Research and Development, a company that develops "innovative solutions and advanced technologies for the energy, defense and scientific Industries." He used his knowledge working on defense projects to create the Dehogaflier drone and outfit it with infrared cameras. According to the news station WFAA, Palmer's clients "include the defense department." He declined to comment on his work with the Defense Department to TPM.
John W. Singletary, the chair of Colorado's Parks and Wildlife Commission, said he is "95 percent" certain the ban on hunters using drones will be approved. Singletary said it would have to pass Thursday and would then be brought up for final approval at a subsequent meeting, which would likely take place next month.
"I haven't heard anybody that's anything but on board with it," Singletary said of the ban.
Watch the Dehogaflier video that Bass said inspired the ban below.

Uhm.... Yeah... That's kind of the purpose of a cheap amplifier with preset EQs, isn't it?
but i use the 10/250 band eq (phone and computer respectively) so yeah eq is pretty much pointless for me. it was given to me by a friend so the most use i could get out of it is as a volume controller (~50 levels of volume compared to the phone's 13) and as a strain relief for the huge sennheiser jack (connected to L plug)
well agree on your point but just stating that it doesn't help push out any headphone's potential.
i don't know about the E5 and E3 and other little fiio amps though, i don't own them
OK guys, I'm sorry, but expensive headphones like that are a waste of money. There is no difference between my extreme-bitrate, 64kbps MP3s, and my High-Quality Apple Earbuds, and your absurd "Beats"
don't forget your audiophile grade unamped iPod Touch 5g.
And equalizer set to Rock.
The iPod Touch 5G is overkill for anyone but crazy rich spoiled people. The Apple Earbuds with a Ultra High Sound Quality Advanced MP3 player, from a reputable audio store such as Walgreens is high enough quality for all but the most discerning audiophiles.
Speaking of snake oil...I saw the funniest description on some cables from Schiit the other day...Contemplating buying some Schiit just because they are funny.
Beyond Just Technology: SuperUltraHyperTechnology
PYST cables are made from only the finest 6-nines Unobtanium™ alloy, molecularly assembled in our Alternate Universe™ reality-distortion tesseract field , using a secret geometry reverse-engineered from crashed UFOs, painstakingly smuggled out of Area 51 by deep-cover operatives. Performance is further enhanced by the use of a QuantConnect™ quantum-entangled pair of transmission interfaces, held at absolute zero by our exclusive Stasis Field™ technology. The cables are then wrapped in NanoAeroCap™, a nanotechnology-enabled aerogel anti-capacitance insulation system, featuring Fractal Interleaved Geometry™ to create negative inductance for maximum audio transmission quality.
Or, er, well . . . again, no. These are nice, high-quality cables, with solid, reliable connectors. And they're short. And not too expensive. That's it. Hope you like them!

Obama Issues New Orders On Afghanistan
The president has called foreign leaders Italian Prime Minister Silvio Berlusconi and French President Nicolas Sarkozy. He will call Russian President Dimitri Medvedev and British Prime Minister Gordon Brown today. He also is meeting privately with Australia's Kevin Rudd today at the White House.
Australia has sent more troops to Afghanistan this year to a level the U.s. is "quite pleased with," Gibbs said, and Obama is not planning to ask the country for more.
Obama will formally announce the troops decision tomorrow night in a speech from West Point Military Academy.
The White House refuses to offer guidance on the exact number of troops who will be sent to the region, and Gibbs told reporters Obama is not being "overly specific" in his calls with world leaders to keep the circle of people who know tightly secure.
Gibbs said at 6 p.m. last night Obama spoke via secure video teleconference with Gen. Stanley McChrystal and Ambassador Eikenberry from the Situation Room to lay out his decision. He will tell 31 members of Congress tomorrow at 4:45 P.M.
Obama is still working with Ben Rhodes of the NSC team on the final version speech.
Late Update: The Pentagon used its Twitter feed to solicit thoughts from citizens: "Lots in the news today on Pres. Obama's Afghan speech tomorrow. What points and/or issues do you think he should highlight?"

I'm not sure what kind of "encryption" you're talking about. Nothing gets encrypted when Handbrake (or ffmpeg or mencoder which do the actual grunt work) converts between formats. Even DVD creation software like DeVeDe doesn't use CSS to create encrypted DVDs.
I suspect you meant to say "encoded."

maybe his subtitle is in SRT format because Handbrake's hardsubbing feature only works with ASS/SSA subtitle format (at least at the moment since their is a plan to make SRT hardsubbing in Handbrake)
if you are planning to burn-in (hardsub) SRT subtitles then better go with Avisynth+x264 combo the avisynth filter you need to google is VSFilter and TextSub |
2012-08-29, 02:37 | Link #25 |
Hmmm... You meant burned in? So you may think that I'm adding an external subtitle to be encoded to my MKV to be coverted into MP4? Ahh... ok..
Actually, this is the case... I have an MKV video which the subtitles are inside it.. which makes one have the option whether to see it or not during watching it... now... I wish to convert the MKV into MP4... the problem is that the subtitles doesn't appear anymore... Sorry if I have been causing a problem but I'm doing my part as well for a month already... please sorry.. |

whats your operating system? and you are using .NET 4.0? or in that case try the stable version http://handbrake.fr/downloads.php
if that also crashes... it is either your video source is broken/corrupted or that you found a bug on Handbrake |

ye apparently Handbrake developers remove the Target Filesize now a days since its unreliable but you can still use Average-Bitrate (2-pass) mode of encoding and use a bitrate calculator like this - http://www.3ivx.com/support/calculator/index.html
but its better if you go with Target Quality or CRF mode of encoding now a days since that is the normal way of encoding now a days, if you are encoding to smalle file size in mind try lower resolution like 400p (704x400) and CRF=24 (or CRF=24 to CRF=26 range) the higher the CRF value the lower the quality and lower the filesize while the lower the CRF value the higher the quality and higher the filesize it gets, fansubs usually go with CRF lower than 20 that is why filesizes and quality are huge on fansub releases |
2012-09-04, 04:57 | Link #37 |
I had a problem with handbrake quite recently.... its the third time this happened.
Its about the missing converted videos. I know I finish converting an specific video but when I checked it on the destination file it isn't there.. It's really converted based on the queue tab. Is there a default destination folder??? |

i just remember a complain about missing output files... and the culprit was the filename has unusual characters... i think the technical term for that is that handbrake does not support Unicode/UTF-8 characters... so the solution is just rename your video inputs filename to a simple one containing letters and numbers only...

Overall winner Dominic Croft. Picture by Jennifer Burton.
A SEASONED expert at running the IW Marathon returned after a six-year absence to win again — but this time he found it far harder.
Dominic Croft, 46, of Bristol, won the event in 1999 and from 2004 to 2006, and returned this year to take the title in a great time of 2.41.40.
He said: "It was a lot harder than I remember, the bits they've changed are a lot harder. I just love doing this race."
Second was Middlesex runner Crispin Allen, while last year's champion, Ryde Harrier Les Cupis, came third. Les, 49, of Whitwell, actually ran five minutes faster than his winning time last year, crossing the line in 3.01.41.
"It is a PB on this course so I'm happy, but my legs were tightening along the way," he said.
The first woman to finish was Helen Bennett, another Bristol runner, but whose parents live in Northwood. Her father, Alan, was a prolific Ryde Harrier, and Helen has taken to running IW events to emulate his success.
Helen, 33, was making her IW Marathon debut, and said: "This was actually my first proper marathon. I'm better at longer distances but I've done mainly cross-country in the past. You have to push through the pain limit.
"I have to say the marshalling and organisation here is fantastic, as well as all the support along the way."
Other IW runners featuring highly included Harriers' Kristian Rowdon, Mary Norman and Tracey Dillon and IW Road Runners' Stuart Backhouse and Eric Smith. Steve Gratton, of Wight Tri, fresh from the World Duathlon Championships, came 14th in 3.22.53.
More than 100 runners took part in the run, with the last runner finishing after a gruelling six hours and five minutes.

When I first saw the new line of tokidoki apparel for babies earlier this year, I gasped — Must. Have. Now. But alas, it wasn't available in the US "now," then. Well, now it's starting to be.
These colorful characters are like the best of Hello Kitty without the worst of Hello Kitty — colorful, quirky, Japanese anime-inspired characters with a whole lot of edge, all from the mind of Italian illustrator Simone Legno. I'm a fan of the tokidoki lil' devil kids' tee spotted at Plum Denim, and the priceless little rocker onesie found right on the Tokidoki web shop, but there are some kinder, gentler characters too. Although just barely.
There seem to be a whole roster of hipster celeb fans, so it's only fair that your kid can get in on the fun. You don't need a West Hollywood address – just $28 for a onesie. –Liz
Find the new line of tokidoki bambino on their webshop or at shops like Plum Denim where CMP readers save 15% off any tokidoki item through 10/31/09 with code TOKIDOKI15

I got it a year ago, and am going to get the rear screen and battery pack/charger for it as well. It shoots very stable video. |

I'm loving the videos, We're going to Hawaii for our 30th anniversary, and we've found a place with ziplines that we're going to hit. One line is 3600 foot long, and another at the same place has a 500 foot change in elevation and you can hit 55 mph on it. I figure even if I'm crapping my pants on the way down I'll be able to get good video. That and the case is good to over 100' under water so it should be great for snorkeling too.
Porter, do you have the 1080p or the 960? Price difference is about $100, and from what I've read so far most people don't need the 1080. Although, that model does offer the 720p @ 60 fps, so you can get some cool slo mo with it. What's your thoughts? |

I have the 1080. 720 takes some amazing video. I actually just started to use 1080 exclusively, as it shows that extra edge for details. Bad side is the files are larger, but I have added memory to the puter for editing after and it works well. I haven't used the 60 frames much yet or slo-mo. |

I picked up the Hero 960 a few weeks ago on sale at Best buy for $150.
I put it on AlumCJ's rig at the Rausch Creek Qualifier and it came up with some good video, just haven't had time to chop it up into youtube vids. Since that is where most of the video I shoot will go, I couldn't see a reason to pay extra for the upgrade.

I love the camera, but I wish I had owned it longer before i went on vacation. It would have helped with a couple of issues I had when using it. 1. Make sure you use the "nose plug" that comes with it for the mount, it makes a huge difference in the amount of noise that comes through the case. 2. If you are using it underwater either buy the dessicant packs or place the camera and case open in a refrigerator for about 10 minutes and close it before removing from the fridge. Otherwise you will get condesation between the camera lens and the case lens. 3. Buy the tripod adapter. I was getting some great views of some Spinner Dolphins swimming next to our boat, but with the waves, I couldn't keep the camera underwater, so you see Dolphins then air then dolphins. With the tripod mount and a telescoping monopod(?) stick, I could easily have kept the camera in the water and got some fantastic video. Even with the minor hiccups the video I have is great, I just need to edit all the short sections into one or two longer videos. Also, I used the strap on style helmet mount with the strap around my hand when snorkeling and that worked great. I just kept my hand out in front of me while swimming and could aim the camera where ever I wanted. |

Despite success, she made time for all.
Many people will remember Maya Angelou, who died Wednesday at the age of 86, for her phenomenal career. She was a true Renaissance woman — an author and teacher, a dancer and performer, a radio personality and a producer.
I will remember her as a friend and a generous spirit who shared her home and meals with me, but who also made time for virtually anyone who asked.
The first time I dined with Maya was at a reception in the late 1980s for Brian Lanker's book I Dream a World, a collection of portraits of black women, including Maya, who changed our times. When a gentleman attempted to get everyone's attention in the noisy room, he unwisely did so with a piercing whistle.
Soon I watched as Maya gathered herself and with her back rigid, chided the man with a rebuke — and an impromptu poem. "You will not whistle at black women," she said. "We had enough of that when we were chattel. You will respect us as the women we are," she went on. When she was finished, not a word was uttered.
So when I once asked Maya what she considered the greatest virtue, not surprisingly she told me that it was courage. Maya had courage in abundance. She needed it. She spent her childhood shuttling back and forth between San Francisco, where her mother lived, and Stamps, Ark., where she lived with her grandmother. Before her 18th birthday, she had experienced racism, rape and teen pregnancy.
These harsh beginnings made her later accomplishments all the more remarkable. Because her life coincided with the civil rights movement of the 1960s, she spent a lot of her later life speaking out against racism.
"We have already been paid for," she frequently said, recounting the horror of slave ships, the harsh conditions of slavery, the inequalities of Jim Crow and contemporary instances of inequality.
Despite being a high school dropout, Maya went on to write 36 books, was awarded more than 30 honorary degrees, and wrote and delivered a poem at the inauguration of President Clinton in 1993.
But while Maya ultimately became friends with the famous, she always had time for others. Each year that I served as president of Bennett College, she visited the campus and gave a lecture to our students.
Once I asked her to spend time with the honor students and she told me, sharply, "I would rather spend time with the students at the bottom." They were the ones, she said, who needed encouragement.
That was Maya.
At the end of her life, she was frail. "Getting old ain't for sissies," she said.
As writer Bijan Bayne wrote on my Facebook page, "No longer caged she forever sings."
Julianne Malveaux is a D.C.-based economist and author, and president emerita of Bennett College for Women, Greensboro, N.C.

OUT Magazine calls out the Bleacher Creatures… Part of "The 21 Biggest Dickheads In Sports" piece
Posted in Yankee News, Yankee Stadium, Yankees Community, Yankees Media, Yankees Miscellaneous, Yankees: Off the field, tagged Bald Vinny, Bleacher Creatures, New York Yankees, OUT Magazine, Section 203, Why Are You Gay, Y.M.C.A., Yankee Stadium, Yankees fans on August 12, 2011| 4 Comments »
Was in Borders the other night, and came across this sports issue of a magazine called "Out." Little did I know, it was a gay/lesbian magazine (not that there is anything wrong with that). Quite frankly, I've never even heard of the magazine before. Before realizing it, I read the table of contests and saw that on page 60, there was a piece entitled "The 21 Biggest Dickheads In Sports." As the curious person I am; I turned to the article and saw this:
"#13 The Bleacher Creatures (a group of Yankees fans) Until 2010, the folks in Section 203 cheerfully sang a homophobic version of "Y.M.C.A." ("Why Are You Gay?") to opposing teams." [August 2011 Issue]

I attended the last game of the Yankees/Red Sox series on June 9th at Yankee Stadium. After waiting at the ballpark during the rain delay for over three hours, I took my seat in Section 203 and saw Bald Vinny lead the Bleacher Creatures in roll call for the very first time. It was an experience.
Get your gear here! Bald Vinny's Tees!

From Michael Jackson and Madonna to Nadya Suleman and Jon and Kate Gosselin, creating families can no longer be described by heterosexual reproduction in the intimacy of a couple's home and the privacy of their bedroom. On the contrary, babies can be brought into families through complex matrixes involving lawyers, coordinators, surrogates, "brokers," donors, sellers, and endocrinologists, and without any traditional forms of intimacy. Mostly, these baby acquisitions are legal, but in some cases black markets are involved. In direct response to the need and desire to parent, men, women, and couples – gay and straight – have turned to viable, alternative means: baby markets. The marketplace for creating families spans transnational borders and encompasses international adoptions with exorbitant fees attached to the purchasing of ova and sperm and the leasing of wombs. For as much as these processes are in public view, rarely do we consider them for what they are: baby markets.
This book examines the ways in which Westerners create families through private, market processes. From homosexual couples skirting Mother Nature by going to the assisted reproductive realm and buying the sperm or ova that will complete the reproductive process, to Americans traveling abroad to acquire children in China, Korea, or Ethiopia, market dynamics influence how babies and toddlers come into Western families. Equally, some contributors push back at the notion that markets appropriately describe contemporary adoptions and assisted reproduction. Michele Bratcher Goodwin and a group of contributing experts explore how financial interests, aesthetic preferences, pop culture, children's needs, race, class, sex, religion, and social customs influence who benefits from and who is hurt by the law and economics of baby markets.

Reproducing dreams Naomi Cahn; 11. Why do parents have rights? The problem of kinship in liberal thought Maggie Gallagher; 12. Free markets, free choice? A market approach to reproductive rights Debora Spar; 13. Commerce and regulation in the assisted reproduction industry John Robertson; 14.

"Michele Goodwin has done a masterful job of weaving together a wide range of contrasting points of view in law, policy, economics, and philosophy on the timely topic of Baby Markets in our contemporary post-Brave New World society. As a person who defends the interests of families after formation but who had only passing knowledge of reproductive technology and developments in marketing of component baby-making parts, I learned a great deal from this cutting-edge work."
- Diane L. Redleaf, Executive Director, Family Defense Center, Chicago Illinois
"Today children are conceived, born, and adopted in the marketplace – like it or not. By collecting a wide range of cutting-edge perspectives by leading experts on reproductive technologies, adoption, and economics, Baby Markets is an essential resource for understanding how these markets function as well as their profound implications for our society and the world."
- Dorothy Roberts, Northwestern University, author of Killing the Black Body: Race, Reproduction, and the Meaning of Liberty
"Baby Markets is a groundbreaking, must-read in today's growing era of adoption, surrogacy, and "non-traditional" families. Goodwin does an excellent job of integrating a broad array of authors and material in a manner that crystallizes the issues, and highlights the challenges and controversies involved. I have no doubt that Baby Markets will be increasingly and directly relevant in public policy decision-making and legal jurisprudence. The analysis of law and economics, social mores, parental rights, ethics and baby taboos should be required reading for anyone interested in the supply and demand for children in modern times."
- Steve P. Calandrillo, Charles I. Stone Professor of Law, University of Washington School of Law
"The family is not private, and contemporary baby markets in transnational adoption and artificial reproductive technologies underscore this fact. The question is not whether but how the law has supported the commodification of family and kinship--racial and gendered enterprises of taste and choice--and what can be done about it now. Goodwin's brave and eye-opening collection paves the way for an intelligent and ethical response."
- David L. Eng, University of Pennsylvania, author of The Feeling of Kinship: Queer Liberalism and the Racialization of Intimacy
"Financial considerations are becoming ever more important in adoption and new reproductive technologies. Is this good or bad? How will it change the way we think about babies and the way we think about families? Baby Markets brings together some of the best thinkers on these subjects, and creates a vibrant exchange of ideas. It is the volume one must read for this increasingly important and controversial topic."
- Brian H. Bix, Frederick W. Thomas Professor of Law & Philosophy, University of Minnesota
Goodwin's Baby Markets is indispensable reading for anyone interested in learning how something so basic as having a baby has been transformed by the intersection of commerce and technology. These essays illuminate the promise and perils of this new way of becoming a parent better than anything else that I have read."
- Rick Banks, Jackson Eli Reynolds Professor of Law, Stanford Law School
"A welcome entry to the important conversation about new ways of creating parenthood. This book gathers a stellar cast of scholars to consider the marketization of babies through ART, embryo and egg donation, international and transracial adoption. Recognizing that this train has already left the station, the authors analyze, in short and readable entries from a variety of perspectives, the economics of these new arrangements and revisit the question whether this commodification is an entirely unfortunate development--or whether, and how, harms associated with it may be controlled while allowing the benefits to infertile heterosexuals and to gays and lesbians who desire children."
- Cynthia Grant Bowman, Dorothea S. Clarke Professor of Feminist Jurisprudence, Cornell Law School
"Baby Markets offers a radical critique of a cherished principle-that commodification devalues human life and is a moral affront. Unafraid to ask hard questions and challenge fundamental assumptions, the authors show us how the making and procuring of babies has become a multi-billion dollar industry deeply influenced by the wealth and social status of those seeking progeny. With equal parts economics and ethics, calculation and compassion, the essays in this volume provide a trove of insights that map a new field of study in a brilliant and provocative way."
- Eric A. Feldman, JD., Ph.D., Deputy Dean for International Affairs and Professor of Law, University of Pennsylvania Law School
"Whoever said 'you don't choose your family' never read this book. Goodwin and the authors take us through riveting analyses of how law, technology, markets, and crime have functioned together or individually to shape, new constructions of families and, in some cases, destroy others. A must read!
- Angela Onwuachi-Willig, Professor of Law and Charles M. and Marion J. Kierscht Scholar, University of Iowa College of Law
"Baby Markets is an outstanding book. Professor Goodwin has gathered a group of the brightest legal minds to weigh in on subjects that strike at the very heart of our human existence. Through a provocative and
far reaching exploration of how individuals construct families in the
marketplace(s), this text provides critical insight into the politics
of race, class, gender and sexuality. Moreover, the intersecting
forces that frame Baby Markets in today's world: technology, policy,
litigation, legislation, economics, transnationalism, identity, and
desire, are explicated with remarkable clarity and rigor."
- Imani Perry, Professor, Center for African American Studies, Princeton University
"In Baby Markets, Professor Goodwin and her colleagues provide an unflinching account of the largely unregulated world of reproduction and adoption. They begin by exposing the vast extent of world markets for these services, expertly assessing their troubling racial and national implications. More surprisingly, several chapters suggest the possibilities these same markets hold for poverty-relief, equality, and justice. This varied collection is for anyone interested in the complicated and controversial world of 21st century family creation."
- Jill R. Horwitz, Louis and Myrtle Moskowitz Research Professor of Business and Law, University of Michigan Law School

Steamboat Springs "The Howler" alpine slide opened later than developers hoped this summer. And when it finally did open on Aug. 12, it was just in time for the summer monsoons that shut it down for a portion of most days. Still, there are signs that The Howler will turn out to be the revenue source the nonprofit Steamboat Springs Winter Sports Club hopes it will be.
Winter Sports Club Executive Director Rick DeVos said this week that during the 27 days it has been open, the Howler has logged about 15,000 trips, generating $125,000 in gross revenues.
"Our biggest single day saw almost 1,400 people go down the slide," DeVos said. "But I hesitate to call that the record, because almost every single day we were open, it rained."
The slide cannot operate when the track is wet because it renders the brakes on the sleds ineffective. Also, the chairlift that ferries riders and sleds to the top of Howelsen Hill cannot be operated when there is lightning in the area, DeVos said.
DeVos couldn't really complain about the monsoon rains that broke Steamboat's summer-long drought; he'd been praying for dry weather all summer as crews rushed to complete the slide.
The slide was developed by an offshoot of the Winter Sports Club, Community Slide Inc. Club funds paid for the cost of construction of the slide, which was built on a city park.
Even though the slide has been open for 27 days, the final details of a revenue-sharing contract with the city of Steamboat Springs are still being worked out, and the contract hasn't been signed, DeVos said. He added that both parties have been comfortable with operating the slide without a contract. They have an agreement in principle, and the delay has allowed them to collect more facts about the revenues and cost sides of operating the slide, DeVos said.
He said the intent all along has been to split the net proceeds equally between the city and the club.
City Director of Parks, Open Space and Recreation Chris Wilson declined to comment on the the nature of the details that remain to be worked out, saying the negotiations are ongoing.

By Gary R. Rasberry
Luebke gets no-decision in debut with Fort Wayne
FORT WAYNE - You could forgive Cory Luebke if he had a few butterflies in the stomach.
While the Marion Local grad has been pitching - and pitching well - in the minor leagues for just over a month, Wednesday night was as close to a homecoming as he will get.
Luebke made his pitching debut with the Class A Fort Wayne Wizards at Memorial Stadium in Fort Wayne after getting the call up from Short Season Class A Eugene on Tuesday.
While he did not figure in the decision, a 5-4 win for the Beloit Snappers in 12 innings, Luebke showed the contingent of family, friends and fans that made the trip from Mercer County that he is doing just fine.
"I talked to a few of my friends and let them know," said Luebke after the game about the rooting section that featured not only Marion Local fans, but also fans from St. Henry and Coldwater. "I guess the word kind of spread."
Luebke's velocity was good, many in the 90 mile per hour range, in his four innings of work. Luebke's line was four innings, three runs, six hits, two walks, one hit batter and five strikeouts in getting the no-decision.
"I should have never gave up three runs in an inning," said Luebke. "Didn't have my stuff going, but it was good to get my feet wet and hopefully bounce back from this."
Luebke took a 1-0 lead into the third, the only bad inning of the night. Luebke gave up four straight hits, and five hits in the inning, to give the Snappers a 3-1 lead. Luebke got out of trouble by getting a strikeout and fly out with the bases-loaded.
"I was talking to Wally (Fort Wayne pitching coach Wally Whitehurst) between innings. He just said I was getting out front a little too bit," said Luebke. "I was getting to the plate too quick. Just made an adjustment.
"I was pitching a little too much on adrenaline and not being smart with my pitches. It took an inning or two to settle down."
If the third can be described as his worst inning, he saved his best inning for last. Luebke struck out the side, with his last pitch to Wilson Ramos registering at 96 MPH on the radar readout in rightfield.
"I think the (radar) gun was a little too high," said Luebke with a laugh. "It was a matter of me calming down and just pitching and not trying to gas it up."
There was no chance Luebke would come out to start the fifth, in spite of the Wizards coming back to tie the game at 3-all in the bottom of the fourth. Luebke was on a 75-pitch limit, set by the San Diego Padres (the Wizards' parent Major League Baseball club) and was at 72 pitches after four innings, the bulk coming in the third when he threw 24.
"He was probably a little nervous to start out the night," said Whitehurst. "Rightfully so. He got better in the fourth inning. ... First time out, he wasn't bad.
"It was good he got through the fourth the way he did. Hopefully that will carry over to his next start (which could take place in Fort Wayne on Monday against Wisconsin)."
Whitehurst also mentioned that Luebke's pitch count will likely increase for his next start, "possibly to 90 pitches."
Postgame, Luebke talked about being happy to get back closer to home.
"Eugene's nice. I like the team and everything, but at the same time, getting closer to home is nice," said Luebke. "I just pitched on a little bit too much emotion tonight. Didn't really keep my ball down early. I threw my ball by some hitters, something I haven't done in awhile.
"There's a lot of things you hope for, but you never know until it happens. It was nice to be home with family."
The family part was nice, considering that parents Jeff and Nancy did a lot of traveling to watch Cory at Ohio State in the spring.
"They were pretty excited," said Luebke. "They used up their work days watching me pitch this spring. They were happy.

Every organization happily daydreams of the perfect Big Data analytics strategy, but the reality of messy IT environments typically renders the situation as more of a nightmare than fantasy. Time and time again, business teams fail to see proportional returns on their analytics investments, despite implementing best-of-breed tools and algorithms. Why? It's not necessarily the tools themselves; it's the data they're being fed.
The biggest perpetuator of data mismanagement is the ubiquitous data "silo." Harboring content in isolation, the prototypical data silo is established with the best of intentions – to solve a specific problem or increase control of a particular data type – but paradoxically makes data harder to globally access and govern over time. With different data types scattered amongst different locations being used for different purposes in different business units, there's no wonder that it's hard to take inventory of the entire enterprise data corpus… let alone leverage it proactively.
Big Data analytics demands a big-picture approach to information governance practices, and silos impede the way forward. Data manipulation is futile without the ongoing effort to cleanse, pool, and maintain resources over time; but silos, by nature, segregate and disperse material. No matter their original intention, a data silos is guilty of several "sins" that must be eliminated. In this slideshow, ZL Tech has identified five big problems with using the silo.

The State Online Query (SOLQ) system is an SSA inquiry system that allows Department staff direct online access to SSA information. Information from SSA in response to the inquiry is available immediately.
The SOLQ system is used to verify information about SSA, SSI, Medicare and disability to determine initial and ongoing eligibility for cash, medical or SNAP benefits. Information provided by SOLQ is to be used strictly for the administration of these programs.
The SOLQ system does not replace BENDEX, BEER or SDX data exchanges.
Send a written notice to the client if the response from SSA results in reduced or canceled benefits, or an increase in the spenddown amount.

15Project Description
I have a multilangual image gallery.
For this project, there are 82 images waiting to be translated from English to French.
A translation consists of the translation of the title of the image, and the keywords from the image.
You have to log in into an admin panel on my site, and there it is possible to do the translation directly online.
You will see the English translation there, and can enter the French translation.
So for this project, I need a native French speaking translator with good notice of English.
The images are for primary school, so the language is not difficult, but still, translation has to be perfect.
About the time/pricing:
the site has 9 languages, and I work with 8 translators.
Normally, translation is done at a minimum speed of 2 images/minute or faster.
In this case that would mean this job can be done in +- 40 minutes. (82 images)
Also important: if this small project goes well, you can become my long-term French translator.
+- every week images are added, and I need a long term translator to translate these images to French.
I always need an invoice after payment.
For EU translators ( long term), that means they have to have a valid EU VAT number on the invoice.
