Summer Rate Promos at Isla Jardin del Mar
The cold month of February has just left us but it seems that summer is already here much, much earlier courtesy of the El Nino Phenomenon. The series of daily brownouts that ensued has made matters worse for everyone, disrupting work schedules, bedtime habits and sleeping hours due to the sweltering heat and humidity, especially in this city of what was once the barren lands of dusty Rajah Buayan.
It seems that all everyone wants to do right now is to hie off to the nearest beach getaway in GenSan or nearby Sarangani Bay or fresh water pool resort to escape from all these.
The good news is one such resort has come up with their Summer Weekdays Escapade Promotions in time for the long hot Summer break.
Friends, below is Isla Jardin Del Mar Resort's Summer Weekdays Escapade Promo which have been adjusted to accommodate more barkadas and families looking for the perfect and affordable getaways.
Isla Jardin del Mar, located at Gumasa, Glan, Sarangani opened less than three months ago in a star-studded affair and has lowered their rates for beachgoers and vacationists who hate the usually crowded weekends and go for the more peaceful weekdays at the beach.
The Isla Jardin del Mar Weekdays Escapade Promo is valid only from Mondays to Thursdays and runs from Marh 8, 2010 to June 30, 2010. Please read the mechanics of the two packages they are offering in the poster above. They have separate packages for DAY TOURS and OVERNITE STAYS plus separate fees for their OPEN and CLOSE COTTAGES.
Here are some of the pictures we took during our visit there at the Inauguration, courtesy of Manager Wanchin Tan-Delfino.
For reservations, call their sister hotel in Gensan, Sydney Hotel at (083) 552-5479 to 81 or Isla Jardin at (083) 893-0032.

are there brownouts there?
nice getaway to beat the heat of summer….pretty cool!
Is there a restroom and shower available inside or closed to the cottage? I am planning a 3 day overnight stay, because late afternoon or night swimming is better for me since I am sensitive to too much heat. By the way, is it gated? or guard available when you need one? I think the place is beautiful, and I am hoping to have the opportunity to enjoy it w/ friends and families.Thank you.
Wow! Eto pinakamagandang RESORT sa GLAN!
wow INDEED maganda nga! at par with country´s bests…bet then diba po el nino ngayon? kapag kasi el nino mainit ang tubig sa dagat…I wonder if they have springs or swimming pool.
hindi po mainit ang dagat pag el nino toinks. in fact malamig ang dagat pag el nino kaya walang naboboung ulan at bagyo.
pag warm ang sea, magkakaroon ng condensation sa ulap at ito ay magiging ulan at pag minalas-malas pa ay nagiging bagyo. wala ng el nino. at kung magpapatuloy na ganito lagi, la nina na ang mangyayari.
@ BrAvO SiX: Sureness kaayo ka regarding sa imong el nino? hehehe asa nimo na nga Science natun-an? LOLS
ilawom sa sinawal bridge nako nakuha ang idea toinks….tbc! LOL!
This is great. . We will book this venue for our summer outing.
im moutainers so nice when i was there together with my bike climbing the trill up to fishpond.
amazing place now a days,white beach,mountains and virgin forest,wide lagoon to experience even scuba diving something different.although blackout eveready so come @day time.
went there march 22– it was a monday so wla kaau tao. i love white beaches and yes, el jardin is really awesome. staffs are polite– even let us look inside their closed overnight cottage. room rates are reasonable. one thing though, ilang beach dli maliguan.. puno ug sea urchin, starfishes and corals— i was hoping naay other options where pwd maligo– pool unta to. one of their front desk officers told us mga 2 yrs from now pa ang pool. tsk tsk.. pro ok na ang el jardin.. NICE!
so nice place in southern mindanao.asap 2 b develope nicely pool n lagoon available if possible.i hope night entertainment also available even wireless fidelity access ready f any.one more thing road is unsafe 2 travel firstname.lastname@example.com couple weeks ago indonesian visitors stayed there so no brownout….i hope once more, more diplomats visit the beach so that no power interruption @all….okay?
Are hotels usually fully booked during Sarangani Bay Fest?
[…] G – Gumasa, Sarangani […]
All I can say is disappointing! After a very long drive the cottages were clean but very small, basic and expensive. Beach was not good … lots of rocks at low tide. By the way this resort is not on the very nice white sand of Gamusa. Great pity as a lot of money has been spent on the access road and resort but suffering from the normal bad Philippine management.
how much po ang rental ng jetski? planning to go there on august of this year. Hope to hear from you soon. Thanks.

^hahahah that's so awesome
i myself crashed out after wandering the grounds until about 2. however a buddy of mine decided to pull an all nighter and told me about the party march around the grounds and how the guards on horses were blocking pathways, and of the parachute party. i missed out
I didn't go to bed until 7:00 monday morning. Sunday was a win.
Lol... you know it's going down when the wine bags come out.... love reading all your crazy Sunday night party down moments. I remember how sad Monday morning (on the polo fields) was in 2007 when everyone was packing up and leaving... I never wanted the weekend to end. long live Coachella
2001, 2004, 2007, 2009
2013 EDM wishlish (please):
classixx, stanton warriors, logistics, jefr tale
spencer & hill, bent, eric prydz, mike realm, nick thayer
kruder & dorfmeister, young punx, phonat, treasure fingers
Kraak & Smaak, sergio & benoit, kris menace, bassjackers, DJ Craze
DIGITALISM, knifeparty, chemical brothers, bassbintwins, seth troxler
After the roller rink disco ended at 1 a.m. Monday morning a giant parachute party began. Everybody ran underneath the parachute pulled it down to the ground and clambaked inside. A parade began shortly thereafter throughout the campground with parachute being paraded like a chinese dragon. It was fantastic & probably one of the most liberating events I've been a part of. Unfortunately it was broken up by security & mounties after about 2 1/2 hrs.
Wonderful thread! Can someone please give me info on how to join in on these party groups. I got two car this year and we party hard to! Seems fitting
Its just a matter of watching videos of Dr. Rockso, than aplying it to the real world.
All I remember was helping the trashcan/any instrument you can find/freestyle/drum circle/after concert at the roller rink about 2-3am on sunday last year. No one wanted the party to stop. I remember some blonde girl preaching and citing poetry in the middle of the mob on people playing music. funniest shit ever.
threads like this make me want weekend 1 here right now
Couldn't agree more, last year was my first Coachella and Sunday night was similar; highlights included: some guy lending me his vintage cruzer and just ripping around the field , dancing around some guy banging on a gargabe and "wolfman" shutting that shit down, then getting lost because people had stolen all the street signs and waking up in some a car full of random ppl at like 11am soaked in sweat. It was so funny eventually finding my campsite, my friends had packed everything up hours ago and thought I was dead.
... 24 hour drive + 2 hour ferry ride wasnt the best
Sunday Night Crew
we're hittin sunday night fast and hard this year, look for us we'll be the rowdy bunch obnoxiously chanting USA and "SPRING BREAK 08!!" repeatedly

I'm saving most of my glow and serotonin for Sunday this year. Go out in style
YEah boi.... We're making sangria too and a bag to slap
Damn man wish I was there to slap that shit with you.
I'll have to carry on the tradition over to Weekend 2
Looking forward to experiencing Sunday night this year, the last 2 years my group's had to sprint back to AZ for classes on Monday.
'10, '11, '12.1, '13.1, '14.1
How lame. Your friends need to get their priorities straight.
Coachella > Education
Back in session bitches....
Ha we already skip Friday. It's a really harrowing journey driving 6 hours in the middle of the night after going all out at coachella.
'10, '11, '12.1, '13.1, '14.1
okay so... i don't know how many people will see this, but this is aimed at bangarang specifically.... are you bringing the parachute this year? anyone who was given red vines by a tiny girl in the last few years, that was me! and i want to keep the wandering party going again for 2012! I will be there weekend 2, please let me know if you guys are interested, because i love love love this! i am so glad lots of you experienced the wandering party and i really want to meet you this year! look for red vines sunday night!
if anyone made you slap the bag, it may have been me. find me sunday night and slap the bag with me or do a bagstand! bag of piss FTW!
I like tiny
That's my good friend Sara! She was playing here harmonica, spitting Wu Tang and poetry. We had been trying to meet up with her all day, but set times, boons and crowds made it impossible. So this is where we found her in the rollerskating rink. I was ecstatic as she no longer lives in SLC and I hadn't seen here in a year.

Went to the farm in the afternoon as my bench was still too damp to stretch out on. Cut a few coconut leaves for Jai's mum to work into her brushes. In the evening had a bonfire for a good hour burning the piles of coconut leaves that have been accumulated over the last few weeks. There was mountains of them everywhere.

We had a good stay! Rooms are really lovely decorated, clean and the houselady was always very nice and helpfull! Perfect is also that it is really near to both, main railwaystation and city centre. The only thing to improve could be the breakfast, wich was good, but not really much .

Napoli è una città meravigliosa sia per il turista che desidera visitare i suoi tesori , sia per il viaggiatore che vuole vivere l'euforia palpitante dei suoi vicoli. Il B&B La Concordia di Anna Grappone è il punto di partenza privilegiato: un meraviglioso appartamento sotto Corso Vittorio Emanuele, la strada che divide il Vomero dai Quartieri Spagnoli. Al mattino, le stanze accoglienti si illuminano di un sole meraviglioso e, se apri le finestre, puoi sentire l'aria fresca che profuma di mare. Nei vicoli c'è sempre vita e dopo qualche giorno ti accorgi che i rumori e i clacson di motorini e auto si sono amalgamati con il vociare delle persone in un sottofondo che sembra musicale. Per colazione, Anna, non solo ti prepara ogni tuo desiderio, ma ti suggerisce i piatti tipici della tradizione partenopea. Anna ama Napoli e fa di tutto perché tu possa gustarla al meglio: se tu le chiedi informazioni, lei ha sempre una gran voglia di proporre e descriverti dai percorsi turistici classici ai tesori sconosciuti, dalle escursioni nei vicoli al sottosuolo riscoperto, dagli eventi culturali alle delizie culinarie. Noi stiamo già pensando di ritornarci.

Delicious breakfast is right! When you arrive, the hostess allows you to choose exactly what you would like to eat each day. It's unlimited, and cooked just how you like it! She is very creative with her presentation and both days we were there she set the table differently. But don't be late for the time you tell her, because she will be disappointed if the table is set so beautifully and you let your food get cold. It was like staying with family in both a very sweet way, but also in the way that sometimes you want more privacy. She was genuinely concerned about every detail of our day and what we needed, but we are not used to being confronted every time we come and go, and sometimes it felt a little obligatory. The room we stayed in is beautiful, but the bathroom is down the hall. It was ours only, but it was inconvenient and made it feel less private since we had to pass through a main area of a house to use the bathroom, meaning we had to change there also after our showers.

I`m going since years to Anna`s house and you`re always well kept, a fantastic breakfast and wonderful clean rooms - combined with excellent service. The place is nearvia Toledo, the port, good restaurants, Chiaia and every places of interest - public transportation nearby and the port to go to the islands and Amalfi and the ALIBUS-Station you reach in ten minutes. So you should not miss it. Pec from Berlin/Germany

Une adresse bien choisie pour visiter le coeur de Naples: J ai apprecie tout particulierement l accueil d Anna une napolitaine qui nous a donne les meilleurs conseils sur sa ville c est parfois un peu bruyant dehors mais cela fait partie du charme de cette ville. De remarquables petits dejeuners et la gentillesse de notre hotesse resteront des moments forts du sejour. je reviendrai chez Anna.

Je tiens à remercier Anna pour son accueil chaleureux, ses précieux conseils ainsi que ses généreux déjeuners (ah ! les bons "french toast" ainsi que les succulents desserts maison faits par sa fille Silvana (baba au rhum - wow)). En séjournant dans le B&B La Concordia, j'ai pu vivre Naples avec l'hospitalité de ses habitants et sa vie trépidante. Ce fut une semaine tout à fait grisante et un bon point de départ pour de nombreuses visites. Merci Anna pour tout et au plaisir de revisiter cette ville qui vaut la peine d'y séjourner.

Dearest Anna, Thank you for your wonderful hospitality. You opened up your home to us, and made us feel like we were a part of your family! La Concordia is filled with such warmth and beauty --we didn't want to leave! From your delicious breakfasts every morning to the gorgeous accommodations to your extremely helpful suggestions on how to spend the day, we loved every moment! Thank you, Anna. We can not wait to return to beautiful Naples and to your B&B again. I'll never forget this experience. Grazie mille! - Roe Viscardi, New York City, NY

On a recent visit to Naples, I had the pleasure of staying at La Concordia Bed and Breakfast. I loved it! It is walking distance to the best shopping and tourist attractions. The area is a dream for anyone who enjoy photography. The owner is a very refined lady who would offer suggestions with maps and brochures of places that must be visited. I had a comfortable room with a lovely view, the breakfast was always delicious. I would stay at La Concordia B&B on my next trip.

Miley, you're trying to look sexy on your new album cover, but it's coming off awkward & uncomfortable!
We've been through this before, but Miley Cyrus, you seriously need to tone down the sex-factor! This new photo of you, for your upcoming album Can't Be Tamed, is yet another example of you trying to grow up too quickly — and it shows in your face. You may have a fit little figure, but the uncomfortable expression your face is proof you're not ready for the sexy persona you're putting forward. And considering you're still 17, that's a good thing! We know you want to shed your Hannah Montana image, but do you really want to end up like Lindsay Lohan or Britney Spears in the process?
BFFs, how do YOU feel about Miley's new look? Is she as sexy as she hopes she is, or does she need to cool it for a little while longer?

LF: E30 Lowering Springs / Coil Overs
I have a 1984 Bmw 325E, I have coilovers in my other car (1998 Volkswagen Golf) But the bmw is still stock height. I am basically looking for a cheap set of coilovers, or lowering springs. I just dont want to ride around at stock height. I was going to go the route of cutting my springs (its only a winter beater for now) But thats kind of a hack, and if i keep the car id want something better. As for quality goes, i dont know the difference between H&R, Or konis, so ride quality is not one of my concerns, im looking more for low, and cheap. I have seen sets of Lowering Springs on kijiji, and on here go for around $75 and up, so basically thats what im looking to spend, as for coilovers, im willing to spend a bit more obviously, but nothing above $400-500 Thanks a lot, and text me what you have and a price, Im located in Oakville Ontario, and Willing to drive local distance from there. Thanks again, Names Anthony Number is 905-808-7940 Text Anytime. Will trade, let me know what your looking for, have some MK3 Golf / Jetta stuff, and interior pieces from my E30 (door cards, and such) |

Term: Fox Sisters
Fox Sisters: Two young girls who, in the mid-19th century, began hearing spirits making knocking sounds in their New York home.

Later they became professional performers, sank into alcoholism, admitted they were fakes and had created the knocks through non-paranormal means, and later recanted their admission.

Honestly, I thought it would be worse. Her body is pretty good for her age. Her face is a whole other story though.
It's about as sexually arousing as the bush scenes in the showers in Schindler's List. She's got a pretty wide but trimmed up landing strip.
I got upset that the Schindler sex scene was so arousing and then they had all of these lengthy elderly dongs in the shower.

The following commentary does not necessarily reflect the views of AgWeb or Farm Journal Media. The opinions expressed below are the author's own.
Paul is now part of the fourth generation in America that is involved in farming and hopes the next generation will be involved also. Through his blog he provides analysis and insight to farmer tax questions.
Many farmers are aware that the FICA rate for employees (including their employee portion, if self-employed) has gone back to the old 6.2% which is up 2% from the temporary reduced 4.2% rate for 2011 and 2012. This increase applies on wages as paid and will also apply on any self-employment income paid with the tax return.
The other tax that may get lost in the discussion is the new Medicare surtax of .9% on earned income in excess of $200,000 for single taxpayers and $250,000 if married filing joint. If the farmer is employed outside of the farm or earns a wage from their corporation, the employer will be required to start withholding this extra tax once the $200,000 level is reached, even if the employee is married. If the spouse does not work, then the couple may be entitled to a refund when they file their personal tax return if their total wages are less than $250,000.
If the farmer is self-employed, then this extra tax will be owed if they exceed the threshold amount.
This is another tax that has a marriage "penalty" built into it. For example, two single taxpayers earning $200,000 each would owe no additional Medicare tax, but if they were married, they would owe the tax on $150,000 of earnings or $1,350.

Primary amyloidosis is a disorder in which abnormal proteins build up in tissues and organs. Clumps of the abnormal proteins are called amyloid deposits.
Amyloid - primary
The cause of primary amyloidosis is not well understood. Genes may play a role.
The condition is related to abnormal and excess production of proteins. Clumps of abnormal proteins build up in certain organs. This makes it harder for the organs to work correctly.
Primary amyloidosis can lead to conditions that include:

Symptoms depend on the organs affected. This disease can affect the tongue, intestines, skeletal and smooth muscles, nerves, skin, ligaments, heart, liver, spleen, and kidneys.
Symptoms may include any of the following:
Other symptoms that may occur with this disease:
The health care provider will examine you. You will be asked questions about your medical history and symptoms. A physical exam may show that you have a swollen liver or spleen.
The first step in diagnosing amyloidosis should be blood and urine tests to look for abnormal proteins.
Other tests depend on your symptoms and what organ may be affected. Some tests include:
Tests that can help confirm the diagnosis include:
Treatment may include:
If the condition is caused by another disease, that disease should be aggressively treated. This may improve symptoms or slow the disease from getting worse. Complications such as heart failure, kidney failure, and other problems can sometimes be treated, when needed.
How well you do depends on which organs are affected. Heart and kidney involvement may lead to organ failure and death. Body-wide (systemic) amyloidosis can lead to death within 2 years.
Call your health care provider if you have symptoms of this disease. Also call if you have been diagnosed with this disease and have:
There is no known prevention for primary amyloidosis.

SALTILLO – A quarter century after the city of Saltillo's first welcome sign was erected, it's been restored to its original condition.
In the late 1980s, Jim Warren and Robert Warren, two prominent Saltillo businessmen, along with the Saltillo Women's Club, made donations to allow the city to erect its first sign.
The sign simply says, "Welcome to Saltillo," in blue and black letters.
"It's the only welcome sign Saltillo has ever had," said Alderwoman Jewell Webb. "We wanted to make sure it was taken care of and looks nice."
Now, Jim Warren's son-in-law and business partner, Wayne Dixon, and Robert Warren's son, Charles Warren, have donated the money to restore the weathered sign.
Webb worked with the two men to make sure the sign, on the corner of Highway 145 and Mobile Street, was repaired. Her husband, W.K. Webb, was the mayor when the original sign was erected in 1987.
"My father really believed in the community of Saltillo and he loved it," said Charles Warren. "The city really meant a lot to him and I believe in Saltillo, too.
"He passed away some years ago and this is for his memory."
Dixon moved to the city in 1987 where he worked in contracting with Jim Warren.
"I wanted to do it in honor of his memory and in honor of Saltillo," Dixon said. "He was more like a father than a father-in-law."
Sisters Lisa Roberts and Kim Westhouse donated their time to paint sign, using the same style as the original.
Webb said if the city ever decides to erect a new sign with a different logo, the board of aldermen agreed the current sign will be considered a historical marker and moved to a public location like the city park.

When will the lies end, and when will the truth begin?
Or does it even matter in this world where the truth isn't sought and lies are perpetuated?
Rumors have been swirling that Jay-Z has had a love child for years now and now that the kid in question is 10 years old and Beyonce is expecting her first child, Jay-Z's love child story is making news waves once again.
It came out that the man, Jerald Andrews, who accused Jay-Z of being a deadbeat father to his grandson lied to Star magazine and retracted his whole statement.
Even the mother of the child in question, Shenelle, addressed and denied that Jay-Z was the father of her son.
Now many of you Jay-Z conspiracy theorists will probably argue that Jay-Z had something to do with Mr. Andrews retracting his statement, but how about we all just think about this for a second.
Former video vixen Karrine "Superhead" Steffans wrote in her book that Jay-Z was a very meticulous and cautious man when dealing with groupies and video hoes.
Citing that Jay-Z put a condom on before letting her give him fellatio is point number one that Jay-Z is not a sloppy reckless rapper when it comes to his sexual rendezvous.
If Jay-Z could be so careful when a girl was only giving him fellatio, why would he be reckless with another random woman?
Now, I know sh*t happens, but Jay-Z's a pretty smart guy who knows the trouble a baby mama could bring to his life and rap career.
PHOTOS: Jay-Z's Baby Mama Drama Gets Squashed!
But if Jay-Z did get a girl pregnant 10 years ago, it wouldn't be that big of a deal for him to have to deny a baby.
Let's be for real, almost every rapper over 25 has a child, so why would he leave an adorable little boy fatherless for the sake of preserving his name and image?
Jay-Z always raps about missing his father and how being a fatherless child affected his life.
I don't think Jay-Z would want another child to suffer the way he did growing up without a father.
In "Momma Loves Me" Jay-Z raps about how his dad left him and how he's struggled to move on.
"Momma loved me/pop left me…momma raised me/pop I miss you/God help me forgive him I got some issues."
As the years have passed, Jay-Z has found it in his heart to forgive his dad in "Still Got Love For You," but as we all know the pain is still present.
"Seemed sunny outside/still rained on Jay/pop you my umbrella/come help your son with the weather/Soon we come together like man and man and build/play spades, cards face up/I've come to deal."
PHOTOS: Jay-Z Is "Ecstatic" That Beyonce Is Pregnant
After everything is said and done, I don't think Jay-Z would have the audacity to deny a child for 10 years. Nothing is that serious.
Jay-Z's been wanting to be a father for so long and now that he and Beyonce are expecting their first born, we should respect them and their impending parenthood.
So until proven otherwise, let's let Jay-Z be the father he always wanted to be.

Capitals Announce Rookie and Training Camp Schedule
by Staff Writer / Washington CapitalsARLINGTON, Va. – The Washington Capitals 2010 rookie camp and training camp at Kettler Capitals Iceplex in Arlington, Va., will feature practices and scrimmages that are open to the public and free of charge.
Rookie Camp begins at 10:30 a.m. on Sunday, Sept. 12, at Kettler Capitals Iceplex. The five-day camp features a scrimmage at 11:45 a.m. on Wednesday, Sept. 15. Rookie camp will culminate with a game against the Philadelphia Flyers rookies at 3 p.m. on Thursday, Sept. 16, also at Kettler Capitals Iceplex (all tickets to that game were free and have been distributed already). This is the fourth straight year that Washington rookies will play Philadelphia rookies prior to training camp.
Throughout rookie camp Capitals veterans who have returned to the area early will skate informally.
Formal on-ice sessions of training camp begin Saturday, Sept. 18, at 10 a.m., and include scrimmages at 12 p.m. on Sunday, Monday and Tuesday as three teams compete for the Gaetan Duchesne Cup, named for the former Capitals forward.
Washington will play its first preseason game at 7 p.m. on Wednesday, Sept. 22 at Columbus. The Caps open their home preseason schedule at 7 p.m. on Tuesday, Sept. 28, against Boston.
This marks the Capitals' fourth training camp at Kettler Capitals Iceplex, the Metro-accessible, inside-the-Beltway practice facility that features two NHL-sized rinks. All on-ice sessions at rookie camp and training camp – like every Capitals practice at Kettler Capitals Iceplex – will be open to the public and free of charge.
Media Note: Unlike previous years Kettler Capitals Iceplex will be closed to the media on the day Capitals veterans conduct physicals and off-ice testing.

$ module-starter --module=Foo::Bar --author="Your Name" --email="email@example.com"
and then hack away under the resulting
directory. Easy enough right?Problems are:
- too much generated boilerplate code and text;
- lack of automation for the building and release process.
I'm sure you have experienced one or more of these:
- Having to search+replace copyright year in every file;
- Forgetting to "make clean" or remove backup files before creating tarball;
- Forgetting to update MANIFEST;
- Feeling tired and bored of all the tedious and laborious tasks;
- Wondering if there is a better way.
You need a distribution builder like Dist::Zilla. It helps:
- eliminate a lot of duplicate text;
- automate updating MANIFEST;
- automate generating README;
- build tarball;
- automate a lot of other stuffs;
- upload to CPAN;
- and more.
Dist::Zilla is flexible and has a lot of plugin/plugin bundles, but it can be less straightforward to use it. Here's a simple step-by-step guide you can follow.
- Install these modules from CPAN:
- Dist::Zilla
- Dist::Zilla::Plugin::PodWeaver
- Dist::Zilla::Plugin::ReadmeFromPod
- Dist::Zilla
- Create ~/.dzil/config.ini, containing:
author = Your Name
copyright_holder = Your Name
initial_version = 0.01
user = YOUR-PAUSE-ID
password = YOUR-PAUSE-PASSWORD - Now, instead of using
, you rundzil new
to start your new distribution:$ dzil new Foo-Bar
Instead of a bunch of files underFoo-Bar/
, there's now just one file,dist.ini
:name = Foo-Bar
version = 0.01
author = youruser
license = Perl_5
copyright_holder = youruser
There's currently a small bug in Dist::Zilla not supplying the correct author/copyright_holder, so editdist.ini
, as well as for adding some lines:name = Foo-Bar
version = 0.01
author = Your Name <firstname.lastname@example.com>
license = Perl_5
copyright_holder = Your Name
[ReadmeFromPod] - Create the most basic distribution structure:
$ mkdir -p lib/Foo t
Put some test files intot/
. Default tests generated frommodule-starter
might be a good start.
file. You can copy paste from the one generated bymodule-starter
:0.01 2009-11-11
First version, released on an unsuspecting world.
As forlib/Foo/Bar.pm
, here's what I use for template. You can just fill out the [[...]] parts:package Foo::Bar;
# ABSTRACT: [[Abstract of module]]
use strict;
use warnings;
=head1 SYNOPSIS
=head1 DESCRIPTION
It's much simpler and shorter than what module-starter generates. Some POD sections like VERSION, NAME, AUTHOR, LICENSE AND COPYRIGHT are deliberately omitted. They will be generated by Dist::Zilla later when building the distro. - Hack away. Write your code in
. Add some tests int/
. Add other files when needed. - To test the distribution, run
dzil test
. - To build the distribution, run
dzil build
. This will createFoo-Bar-0.01.tar.gz
which contains all the necessary goodies of a standard classic distribution, likeREADME
, etc. - To release the distribution, run
dzil release
. This will upload your module to CPAN. Sweet! - To release a new distribution, just update version number in
in your main module file. Don't forget to add an entry toChanges
. Repeatdzil test
In the future "dzil new" might allow creating a more complete skeleton.
There are lots of other nice things Dist::Zilla can do for you, like checking Changes file, do automatic version numbering, etc. Welcome to the nice world of Dist::Zilla!
Comments/corrections are welcome.

Microsoft Reinforces Encryption And Legal Measures To Thwart NSA Spying
The company announced that it will be expanding the encryption of its services, "reinforcing legal protections" of user data, and making its software code more transparent to customers. This encryption will cover myriad services including Outlook.com, Office 365, SkyDrive, and Windows Azure, and like the aforementioned tech companies, part of that will be 2048-bit digital key lengths.
In terms of legal actions, Microsoft will notify business and government users is there's a legal request for their data, and the company will challenge gag orders in court.
So often, blog posts from companies that talk tech are written by tech people, but it's noteworthy that this one was penned by a lawyer. The author, Brad Smith, is the General Counsel and Executive Vice President of Legal and Corporate Affairs for Microsoft, which points to the fact that the technological and legal fight against our own government is on in full.

WASHINGTON -- The good news for Congress as it heads into the final workdays of the year is that, for the first time in five years, there are no edge-of-the-cliff December crises threatening to bring the country to its knees.
The bad news is that whatever gets done in December will still be part of a year with record-low congressional accomplishment.
From the confirmation of a new Federal Reserve chairman to the expiration of dairy pricing rules, House and Senate leaders head into the final month of 2013 with a checklist that is short but critical. But even a final burst of activity would do little to change the historic arc of this calendar year under the Capitol dome.
According to congressional records, there have been fewer than 60 public laws enacted in the first 11 months of this year, so far below the previous low in legislative output that officials have already declared this first session of the 113th Congress the least productive ever. In 1995, when the newly empowered Republican congressional majority confronted the Clinton administration, 88 laws were enacted, the record low in the post-World War II era.
House Speaker John Boehner, R-Ohio, pressed about what his majority had to show for its work in 2013, told reporters in mid-November that the GOP was most proud of putting a brake on tougher regulations on business and impeding efforts by President Barack Obama to push a more liberal agenda on the country.
"Listen," Mr. Boehner said, "we have a very divided country and we have a very divided government. And I'm not going to sit here and underestimate the difficulty in finding the common ground, because there's not as much common ground here as there used to be."
Senate Majority Leader Harry Reid, D-Nev., cited congressional dysfunction in his decision to break precedent and change rules regarding presidential nominations so that a simple majority could advance a confirmation to a final vote. He laughed last week when a radio interviewer asked whether the fallout from his unilateral move would lead to fewer accomplishments, suggesting that was not possible.
"More dysfunction? I mean, gee whiz," Mr. Reid said to public radio interviewer Diane Rehm.
With those low expectations, it is unclear how much can get done as the GOP-controlled House and Democratic-run Senate continue to be at loggerheads on the most basic of functions.
Take their schedules, with each chamber slated to be in session two weeks and then breaking for the holiday season.
Rather than syncing up those final two weeks, the House comes in today and expects to adjourn for the year by Dec. 13, while the Senate does not return from the Thanksgiving break until Dec. 9 and has Dec. 20 at its tentative departure date.
That leaves only a few mid-December days for in-person negotiations among top congressional leaders.
And that has left hopes mixed as to whether the chairmen of the House and Senate budget committees, Rep. Paul Ryan, R-Wis., and Sen. Patty Murray, D-Wash., can reach a broader pact that will set a budget framework for federal agency spending for the rest of the fiscal year.
Still, many insiders are betting that even a small bargain is beyond reach and that, instead, congressional leaders will have to figure out early next year how to keep the government running when funding authority expires Jan. 15.
Another big item in danger of falling by the wayside is the annual Pentagon policy bill. For the past 50 years, each Congress has considered national security such a sacrosanct bipartisan goal that legislation dictating Defense Department policy has been approved by a wide margin. Last month, however, the Senate hit a roadblock over the number of amendments to consider in its version of the bill, including an effort to revamp military sexual-assault cases and an effort to increase sanctions against Iran as the administration reached a tentative nuclear pact with that nation.
With such little time to get things done, senior House GOP and Senate Democratic advisers suggest that a trio of benefits that expire Dec. 31 are not likely to win approval. Those include some unemployment benefits, funding to help workers displaced by global trade, and a collection of business-friendly tax breaks, including some for research and development.
Another key issue that is up in the air is the "doc fix," a nearly annual alteration to the fees paid to Medicare providers to assure that doctors and hospitals do not drop patients from the entitlement program.
Some of those issues could be wrapped into a spending bill that must be approved by Jan. 15, with retroactive benefits applied to mitigate any damage from the lapse from the end of December.
Among the items on the must-do list, the confirmation of the new Fed chair is the top priority as Ben Bernanke's long tenure overseeing the nation's monetary policy concludes. Janet Yellen, a vice chairwoman of the Fed, has cleared the Senate banking committee and already had more than enough support from Republicans to clear a 60-vote filibuster hurdle before Democrats unilaterally changed the rules and made all confirmations subject to a simple majority.

CLEVELAND (AP) — A Cleveland trial-level judge has announced his candidacy for the Democratic nomination for the Ohio Supreme Court.
Judge John O'Donnell announced his candidacy on Thursday in Cleveland before supporters and several bench colleagues. He has been endorsed by the state party leadership, so his announcement was expected.
O'Donnell has served most of the past decade on the Cuyahoga County Common Pleas bench. He says he has worked to avoid judicial labels as favoring one side or another.
He wants to challenge Justice Judith French, who was appointed by Republican Gov. John Kasich to serve two years of an unexpired term. French previously served as an appeals court judge.
The Ohio Supreme Court currently has six Republicans and one Democrat.

Art As Play
Central Library, 2nd floor Balcony Cases
Art As Play by Corey Breneisen
I'm interested in the magical transformations that pervade not only children's literature, but also children's psychology. As a child I pretended that my blanket was a flying carpet and my bed a boat. I created worlds that were larger and more interesting than my reality. Now instead of turning blankets into flying carpets, I'm turning found objects into works of art. I collect odd bits and pieces to create quirky sculptures and drawings. Sometimes my pieces are large installations that consume a room. Other times they are tiny drawings no larger than the palm of my hand.
The sculptures on display were inspired by the writings of Roald Dahl, Shel Silverstein, Lewis Carroll and the nursery rhymes of Mother Goose. While I do not attempt to illustrate the texts, a correlation can be drawn between the authors' use of language to paint an alternative reality and my use of objects. My intent is to challenge viewers to tap into their imaginations and roam through fantastic worlds where the ordinary function of every day materials is turned upside down.
Corey Breneisen's art is an extension of the wild imaginings found in children's books. Her future projects include a collaborative public sculpture in the Main Line district of Philadelphia and an exhibition in Seattle that celebrates the virtues of uninhibited play. She received her MFA from Pratt Institute in 2003 and lives and works in Brooklyn as an art instructor.

Home Is Where the Legs Are
Dallas 90, San Antonio 112
In the battle of two teams with an early tip coming off of a back-to-back, the home team has a decided advantage. This is the time the energy of a home crowd and the comforts of a home gym can really pay dividends. Sure, it's great in critical playoff moments to be at home. But you win that right on these types of nights in January: two tired teams playing in a back to back. At the end of the season, this game will mean nothing; but one extra win could mean a world of difference.
As for the game itself, it started much like the previous night's game: the Spurs jumped out early, building a quick 10-point lead. Then, for a long time, the lead fluctuated between 5 and 15 points, with the opposing team never fully able to get all the way back, but the Spurs never fully able to put it away. Despite the Mavs always pushing back, the Spurs appeared to be in complete control of this game. The defense was locked in, and Dallas was primarily scoring off of the good shooting of key players, not any sort of offensive flow or system. And the Spurs were just completely owning the paint and the rim on both ends of the floor.
The floodgates finally opened late in the third. In about 3 minutes, the Spurs seized control of the game, and the rout was on.
Thankfully, the sins of the night before did not come back to haunt the team.
A few more thoughts from the game:
–Boris Diaw continues to impress with his defense. He played Dirk as well as any human can possibly defend him. Dirk's shot is the closest thing we have in today's NBA to 'unguardable', so there are just a few things a player can do in defense, and Diaw did them all. Without fouling.
–Parker looked a lot zippier and played a great game. Then, in the 3rd quarter he quietly went supernova, scoring 14 points and hitting every shot he took. Literally. I think he hit every jump shot in the quarter.
–Duncan is still very good at professional basketball.
–Because of Dallas' unique line-ups, Cory Joseph got some playing time late in the 3rd with Parker still on the floor. His presence on defense was particularly strong, and was a reason why the game turned during that time. It's a luxury to have two really good back-up PGs with pretty dissimilar skill sets, allowing Pop to go with whichever player gives him what he needs in that game, or even that moment.
–I should also mention Diaw was quite good on offense, too. He and Marco picked up the "Manu creativity" slack nicely.
–I really enjoy Jeff Van Gundy as a broadcaster. He is smart, funny, and a bit irreverent (in good ways). He also has an authentic appreciation and admiration for the Spurs and what they've built. His "interview" with Pop was the best.

Talking about having it all wrong... Smh. The Heat will not win 60 games as they haven't done that since the big 3 came together. The Celtics at 50-32 is just far far fetched right now. And I'm not sure if the Nets will be ten games over .500 by the end of the season. Just love how everyone crowned D-Will and Jo Johnson the best backcourt in the league before they even played a game. And the Pacers at 50 wins is also very laughable. Lol

Kanye West has all but declared war on the paparazzi, but Kim Kardashian looks happy to see them. Kanye went to such great lengths to avoid a confrontation with them at LAX that he and Kim took a private plane to San Francisco so they could catch a commercial flight from there to Paris (rather than catch a commercial flight out of LAX). I guess it's just too hard to ignore them like every other celebrity! While Kanye may be barely able to control himself around the paparazzi, Kim looks happy to give them a good picture or two: check out the main pic.
Kim made sure to give the paparazzi an over-the-shoulder shot before making her way into the Givenchy building in Paris. She's still hiding her body, this time under a baggy coat, but I think she's looking great! Are you ready for Kim's return to the spotlight?

kpackage tries to reinstall everything...
I have been having problems with installing some programs in kpackage. Some of these programs include:
Whenever i try to install them they try to install 200+apps including:
just about anything with a k in front of the name.
when i do install these program konqueror starts complaining that it is missing MIME files. So then i reinstalled linux (this is my 2nd day).
I am running a dual windows/linux running simply mepis v3.3 from the next handbooks CD.
Could anybody help me about some of the packages that try to install everything?
10-02-2005 #2
IIRC this happend to me when I was installing things wich needed a lot of the KDE system to be updated too. Once the updates are finnished you should be able to logout/login and all will be fine again.
If you want to work with while installing these programs without getting disturbed, you could do the updates while in the Gnome desktop environment instead of the KDE desktop environment.
Alternativlly, you can (I think) install these programs when installing suse itself, this will make the install of suse longer, but you'll have all the packages you want installed and ready for you when you start up.

Hospital board members discussed at their Wednesday night meeting whether to honor a request for additional money from the hospital's financial adviser for the new hospital or wait until the company produces a loan application.
The Memorial Hospital has paid $43,000 to Innovative Capital since 2003, according to its contract, but the company is asking for an upfront sum of $20,000 more. The hospital owes the company $37,000 more, contingent upon the completion of a loan application for the new hospital.
Hospital board members have said they want to try to increase revenues at the hospital before presenting an application to lenders. Some board members thought approving the financial transfer to Innovate Capital is too soon.
"We don't want to sign something right now that we don't need yet," board member Don Myers said.
Board members agreed to further discuss the issue at a later date.
Wednesday night was the first board meeting for the hospital's interim administrator, Susan McGough. McGough presented some goals that she thought the hospital could work toward. Those include improving the hospital's lighting, its patient care, continuing employee education and recruiting a general surgeon. She also noted that the hospital should establish a review of senior management's purchases and employment. McGough said the hospital staff should try to spend less money in the day-to-day operations.
"We want to move towards the mentality that this is what I do and it's important, how can I spend less," she said. "Before we spend something we should ask is there a way I can add value to the dollar."
In other business board members unanimously:
- approved an audit report.
- approved a medical air system upgrade for $6,413 and an inspection service and repair of the hospital's anti-fire and smoke system for $9,740.
- approved budget parameters for 2006. The parameters are based on estimates for the number of patients seen by the hospital. Patient admissions have increased by 50 compared to last year.

Cianci sauce claim is overstated
Cianci sauce claim is overstated
PROVIDENCE — Former Mayor Buddy Cianci's face beams from the label of his Mayor's Own Marinara Sauce, which also promises that sales are "Benefiting Providence School Children" and have helped hundreds of students attend college.
But in recent years, no money from the sauce's sales has been donated to Cianci's charity scholarship fund, The Associated Press has learned. From 2009 to 2012, the sauce made a total of $3 in income, longtime Cianci adviser Charles Mansolillo told the AP.
Mansolillo — Cianci's former city solicitor and the vice president, secretary and treasurer of the company that sells the pasta sauce — acknowledged that the label could be misunderstood and said he would like to see it changed.
"People are thinking that every time they are buying a bottle of pasta (sauce) they're making a contribution. That is not necessarily the case. That's got to be clearly stated," Mansolillo said. "It benefits the scholarship fund when it's possible. ... I don't think even in the best year any more than two or three scholarships could be said to come from that."
Cianci was mayor for a combined 21 years over two separate stints starting in 1975. Both ended in felony convictions. He started selling the sauce in 1995, during his second go-round as mayor and before he was sent to prison in 2002 for presiding over widespread corruption in City Hall. He is now running again for his old job as an independent.
The ex-mayor said he puts money into the sauce every year and has never personally made money on it. He said expenses such as labels, taxes and insurance eat away profits many years. Even if the sauce loses money some years, it's great publicity for the scholarship, and, admittedly, for himself, he acknowledged.
"There's a certain public relations aspect to it all to me, I can't deny that," Cianci said.
In 1994, Cianci set up a fund that awards scholarships to college-bound high school seniors from Providence. This year, 13 students received the $1,000 scholarship. A press release dated June 8 states, "The scholarships are funded from a portion of the sales from The Mayor's Own Marinara sauce."
Mansolillo is also president of the scholarship fund, and he said they always intended to use the income to supplement the scholarship fund. The fund currently has about $500,000 in assets, he said.
In 2009, they lost $2,200 on the sauce, Mansolillo said. The following year, they made $2,974, while in 2011, they lost $2,969. In 2012, they made $2,198 profit, he said. That adds up to a profit of just $3 during the 4-year period.
Much of the money currently in the fund came from previous fundraising efforts, such as golf tournaments, as well as sales of the pasta sauce, Cianci and Mansolillo said.
The fund now makes most of its income from investments and has received only $450 in contributions since 2005, according to forms filed with the IRS.
In that sense, Mansolillo said, past sauce sales are benefiting Providence schoolchildren today. But he also acknowledged that the meaning of the line "Benefiting Providence School Children" might not be entirely clear to consumers.
"At the end of the day, I think we should just take it off," he said. "It's giving an impression that possibly we're going to the bank on this. That we're banking our scholarship on this when we're not, and we don't have to."
Newman's Own, the food company founded by the late actor Paul Newman, gives all after-tax profits to charity, something it specifically states on its label. Mansolillo said Capital Innovations, the company that sells Cianci's sauce and where Cianci serves as president, was intentionally vague on the label and didn't make specific promises because, "We didn't want to be held to anything."
Cianci and Mansolillo said sales have been hurt in past years by mismanagement from some of the sauce's previous distributors, one of which went bankrupt. During the time when Cianci was in prison from 2002 to 2007, the sauce sometimes was not on the shelves at all.
When asked why they continue to make the sauce when it has not benefited the charity in years, Mansolillo said they are hopeful that things are going to do better and that it benefits the economy by providing jobs to the people who make it and distribute it.
"It's a good product, and a lot of people like it," Cianci said.
Bob Borges, gourmet manager at Eastside Market in Providence, said the sauce sells well at his store, which goes through about a dozen 12-jar cases a month. He said he thinks first-time purchasers might buy it because they think sales are benefiting children, but they wouldn't get the repeat sales they get unless it was good. They sell it for $5.69 per jar.
The sauce is sold in Rhode Island and Massachusetts and at two stores in New York, said Kristen Catanzaro of Catanzaro Food Products, the company that has manufactured and distributed it since 2010. She said Cianci's sauce helps the company, the last one in the state that manufactures pasta sauce.
She said sales have gotten a bump since Cianci announced he would get into the mayor's race in June.
Mansolillo said sales of the sauce have never produced the income they had hoped for. "In the overall scheme of things," he said, "it really hasn't worked out very well."

I actually found out about Stef through Rogan's podcast. It should be an interesting conversation.
Posted 23 August 2013 - 10:38 AM
Oh yeah which episode? i love the show myself and listen often
Posted 23 August 2013 - 03:10 PM
Awesome! I was hoping this would happen. I found Adam Kokesh through Rogan, which thankfully led me here.
Posted 04 September 2013 - 08:19 AM
Rogan is great, he has a native quality for reason and despite little academic training is fairly knowledgable on a broad range of topics. Fortunately, he is also desperatly close to understanding politics and government at large, his path between conspiracy theorist and skeptic will rest perfectly at the rational and critical landing pad that is FDR. I would start with axioms, the nonaggression principle, and then extrapolate to explain some of his favorite topics: corruption in government, psychology, etc. In particular, launching into child development and its relationship to professional fighting should provide epic and well reasoned analysis on the topic.
Posted 10 September 2013 - 04:04 PM
I don't know if Rogan would do a full 3 hours in Toronto outside of his studio.
Posted 10 September 2013 - 06:14 PM
It's being recorded in a few weeks.

i would love to hear Stefan's comments when they come back to the studio after going to see some person or place that has unexplainable phenomenon. Like the guy who could move objects with his mind, lol. Or the guy with "knowledge" of harp, or of bigfoot.
Posted 16 September 2013 - 01:28 AM
Posted 16 September 2013 - 08:21 AM
NICE! Joe Rogan is an interesting thinker, and maybe this will get Stefan some good exposure with a new crowd... ;D
Posted 16 September 2013 - 08:49 AM
Thanks Thomas K for sharing the interview between Rosie and Joe. (above) Great breakdown of the trauma he has worked through.
Posted 17 September 2013 - 05:02 PM
He has the largest podcasting Audience on the internet right now, it would be great if he did the podcast on his show instead of FDR.
Posted 19 September 2013 - 06:47 AM
I'm wondering if Stefan is actually going on the JRE or getting Joe Rogan on FDR. Going on JRE is well worth the effort. Considering the things I have heard on Rogan's podcast, I am sure there would be a huge number of new listeners to FDR from a JRE.
Posted 20 September 2013 - 05:07 PM
so today is the day, excited for this one
Posted 20 September 2013 - 06:10 PM
Oh yes, how can we listen in live?
Posted 20 September 2013 - 06:15 PM
Though I do not know what time he is live (I think if I remember correctly it varies slightly) but maybe someone who listens more can fill us in.
Posted 20 September 2013 - 10:10 PM
MMD inferred to me on FB that it may not be live, because it wasn't being produced in the studio.. But we'll see I guess.. It should be kicking off soon I guess..
Posted 21 September 2013 - 12:24 AM
not up yet. Bated breath...

You'd think one of them would've notified us by now, if it was going to be streamed live. I'm going to assume that it's not.

Its feels like im 8 years old on christmas eve
Posted 21 September 2013 - 07:38 AM
This is unreal! I'm gonna check regularly til it's uploaded. Hopefully it gets put up straight onto iTunes, I just know it's a podcast to keep and not just stream on Youtube.
Also Thomas, thanks for the Rosie episode. Damn I never knew she was such a free thinker, good for her. Didn't even know she brought up some controversial stuff on daytime TV. Their conversation started right away at the deep stuff, I was surprised.

What's in the name?
41 comments:
I am so glad you've landed, with good friends on both coasts! Your driftwood analogy is quite fitting for the journey of feeling "in between," and then finally landing, more mature and beautiful in a new way. I remember when you showed this quilt to us in Seattle. It inspired me to make one similar, and I completely enjoyed the process. Thank you for sharing your talent and your story!!
ReplyDeleteSujata - You have enriched our group in so many ways. It's just amazing how a group of women with such differing quilting styles can come together as friends and at the same time, admire each other's work. BTW, I love the binding.
I do name my quilts. Sometimes the name comes to me in a flash and sometimes it takes lots of brainstorming and sometimes, not at all.You're right, there is always a story...thanks for sharing yours, and your beautiful quilt. I recently bought some thrift shop shirts for a quilt. Two of them were really lovely fabric (why are mens shirts always nicer than that they use for ladies?)so I rolled the sleeves up a little and tried them on...they look great (relaxed summer jacket!) with jeans & tee. Now only the boring ones are left for my quilt!
ReplyDeleteAhhhhh....I have goosebumps reading that! both the writing and the quilt are beautiful. I'm thinking the color is symbolic (possibly) as well. The red/pink as the warmth/love of family and FRIENDS as the center but the cold, grey parts of the world that can beat, bleach, drain us as we go thru storms of life, that can surround us each day. something profound like that, huh?
ReplyDeleteMmmm ... well-crafted prose to match the quilt.
It seems that thereʻs a curious meandering on how a quilt gives birth to its name. For me, once the top is done, and Iʻm hand-quilting -- itʻs a very intimate time, whereby an assortment of connections arise for consideration. The activity is very contemplative, therefore the result, e.g. itʻs name, is also more contemplative than contrived.
Itʻs a privilege to wander into your blogsite.

- - trouble.....
trouble..... Like I didn't have enough questions as is....... Something is wrong with my fish and it's not just one variable. Sad enough I do not have a quarantine tank set up yet. I have 3 concerns and I'm not sure if they are related. I noticed tiny white specs on the fins of my barbs and rainbow shark this morning.... they are only on the fins though. Looks more like ich than finrot if I can judge by the photos I've seen. Secondly, a few of my barbs seem a little pale. Their stripes are more like gray than black and last but not least, one of them is swimming quite strangely. He is a little guy and at one point I thought that's it, he's floating to the top, he's dead. But he was just pulling his number.... What should I treat first and how? I guess the pale colors could be because of current instability in the tank, will they return to normal? My platys are fine. I have a pregnant one in a breeding trap. How will she be affected by treatment? Is the whole tank gonna come crashing down? Please help! |
There is a sticky at the top of the diseases section all about ich which is good to read. It does sound like ich to me. What are your water parameters? These are important to know. Post values for amonia, nitrite and nitrate please. The colour can fade in a fish when he feels ill so this is likely. Your barb that swims funny sounds like something is wrong with the water. Is the tank fully cycled? |
hi does the barb stay in one place facing down towards the gravel ? this is a thing that mine do alot,and it seems that alot of people have this with their barbs, i will echo what Falina has said though,about the water stats as this also could be a sign of bad water. :D have you posted somewhere what tank you have, who lives in there,and how many of each species ? and when you set it up,what filter,water change routine, sorry for all the questions,at this difficult time. :D |
Bear in mind that ich looks like granulated sugar, velvet's more like icing sugar. |

Cannibal Cop—guilty of conspiring to kill and eat women. Valle's defense team argued that he was just fantasizing about killing and eating women, which is totes legal, with prosecutors countering that Valle researched specific victims, contacted them, and creeped on their houses before he was caught by police. So.AdvertisementVia ABC:"Today, a unanimous jury found that Gilberto Valle's detailed and specific plans to abduct women for the purpose of committing grotesque crimes were very real, and that he was guilty as charged," U.S. Attorney Preet Bharara said in a statement. "The Internet is a forum for the free exchange of ideas, but it does not confer immunity for plotting crimes and taking steps to carry out those crimes."...They said he looked up potential targets on a restricted law enforcement database, searched the Internet for how to knock someone out with chloroform and showed up on the block of one woman after agreeing to kidnap her for $5,000 for a New Jersey man who is now awaiting trial.Valle "left the world of fantasy and entered the world of reality," prosecutor Hadassa Waxman said during closing arguments. She said the officer's arrest near Halloween last year interrupted a ghoulish plan to "kidnap, torture, rape and commit other horrific acts on young women."Cannibal Cop's sentencing will take place on June 19.

Personnel: Greg Kelley-trumpet Olivia Block-electronics, piano Highlight an artist name or instrument above and click here to Search 1. Pinholed and perpetual light, part 1 11:12 2.

sample the album:
"[...] Olivia Block makes her label debut, paired with Greg Kelley in his first appearance on Erstwhile since "Forlorn Green", although the overall cast of the session seems more firmly located in her neck of the woods, which is to say very thick and richly layered, possessing a massiveness and spatial volume. She plays a bit of piano here and there (once unfurling a couple of strikingly Tilbury-esque arpeggios, elsewhere within the piano's string-bed) but it's her electronics that predominate, finely integrated with Kelley's trumpet, enough so that it's often difficult to pick out the horn from the diverse soundscape. Though the five pieces have enormous dynamic range, there's never a sense of sparseness; even at its quietest, you get the impression that even the gossamer strands that are barely discernible are tightly connected and possess great tensile strength. And when things get churning--or tumbling--look out. The sheer sound is marvelous through most of the set, especially those moments, beloved of Block, wherein one experiences loud but slightly dulled bangs, like crates being jostled in the hold of a cavernous ship, similar to the ambiance of her "Heave To" but here augmented by Kelley's ferocious rushes of wind power and tin plate-induced buzz. The fourth cut, "some old slapstick routine" is almost bravura in its deployment of crashes, wheezes, bangs and piano, a marvelous explosion of densities, colors and plasticity. It's interesting re: the title, Resolution that had we read this in 1970, wed likely think of "moral determination" whereas today, I daresay, we think in terms of sensual acuity. In any case, I hear this as quite a sensual release, and a very good one. [...]"-Brian Olewnick, Just Outside Get additional information at Brian Olewnick's Just Outside |

Dear all,
Here is my problem. I'm using an arduino uno and the maxuino patch. I can control a dvd player with the arduino without using max, just an arduino's sketch that blinks the IR led just like I need. BUT now i'd like to control this dvd player via max, using the standard firmata sketch on the arduino.
I can see two ways of doing it : – translate the IR sketch into a max patch (dealing with bytes and microseconds delays) or – integrate the IR sketch into the standard firmata's sketch and send a simple message from max
The second way appears easier to me but a first attempt was not very successful. Any idea ? Thanks for your help. yragaël.
The first way can be easy if someone has a java's script that deals with IR leds when you have the proper codes (for stop, play, power etc..). But how can we deal with microseconds ? Is it possible in max or I just have to work on the B plan ?
Thanks again. yra.
You can't deal with microseconds in Max!
I would integrate the IR sketch into firmata. In fact I wouldn't use firmata at all, because it's quite easy to communicate between Max and the Arduino over the serial port using your own code (check the Communications examples in the Arduino's IDE, especially SerialCallResponse – there's even a Max patch!)
Yep. That's the solution of course ! Thanks a lot. I was stuck on a way to adapt the firmata and lost this simpler way. Merci.

It was about as significant as comparing 320 to FLAC. Not everyone has the system/ears/attention to detail to hear it, but it's definitely there. And the better endpoint you get, the more you notice it. (Endpoint being speakers/headphones.)
Are you going to stop with your 'ALL DACS AND AMPS SOUND ALIKE' ranting, and join the much more rational 'Invest the most in cans, then in an amp, then in a DAC, then in a source, then in cables moderately'?

NASCAR Chairman Brian France isn't showing much love for the IZOD IndyCar Series these days.
France answered questions from reporters at Daytona over the weekend. One question concerned the possibility of a doubleheader weekend featuring a Sprint Cup race and an Indy race.
France wasn't too interested.
"We won't be doing doubleheaders with the Sprint Cup levels," he said. "They've had some of our lower divisions which do about the same in terms of audience and everything else, like the Truck Series has run a time or two with the IRL. That won't be possible because of scheduling issues. We don't have any interest in doing that either."
Yes, it's true that Indy's TV ratings are nothing to brag about, but at least you can keep watching most Indy races even during the commercials.
But things are looking up in the world of Indy racing these days.
A decision on a new chassis will be announced next week. And the series is adding new races in Baltimore and New Hampshire and considering culling its weaker races.
In fact, Indy appears to be gravitating more toward Bruton Smith's Speedway Motorsports Inc.'s tracks and away from International Speedway Corp. tracks. ISC's Homestead track, if it even stays on the 2011 schedule, won't be the season finale, but Indy is hoping to make SMI's Las Vegas Motor Speedway the season ender. AL.com
