text: BiedermeierBiedermeier (bēˈdərmĪər) [key], name applied, at first in a joking spirit, to a period of European culture and a style of furniture, decoration, and art originating in Germany early in the 19th cent. and especially popular there and in Austria. It is believed to have been named for the worthy, bourgeois-minded "Papa Biedermeier," a humorous character featured in a series of verses by Ludwig Eichrodt, published in Fliegende Blätter. The Biedermeier period found expression in comfortable, homelike furnishings, simple in design and inexpensive in material, fitting the requirements of the German people in a time of little wealth following the Napoleonic Wars. Although the best Biedermeier furniture was produced between 1820 and 1830, the period is regarded as extending from 1815 to 1848. Biedermeier designs were simplified forms of the French Empire and Directoire styles and of some 18th-century English styles, and were often elegant in their utilitarian simplicity. Later pieces, however, were frequently clumsy and tasteless. At their best, cabinets and other large pieces are handsome and severe in line and surface. Chairs and sofas show curved lines, frequently graceful, but sometimes exaggerated into swellings and contortions. Light-colored native fruitwoods were typically used, with contrasting bands of black lacquer often effectively substituted for the costly ebony of Empire pieces. Painted decorations reminiscent of peasant types were common. The furniture style regained popularity in the latter part of the 20th cent. and, in its stylized simplicity, has been cited as a forerunner of art deco, Bauhaus, and other modern styles of design. In painting, the preference during the Biedermeier period was for cheerful and detailed landscapes, historical subjects, and genre scenes. Artists of the era include Moritz von Schwind, Karl Spitzweg, Franz Krüger, and Ferdinand Waldmüller. See studies by G. Hemmelheber (1976), W. Quoika-Stanka (1987), A. Wilkie (1987), and R.

I am starting to like these blind items way too much. Here is today's "wicked whisper" courtesy of Gatecrasher.
"Which pro athlete's actress-girlfriend is going to be less than pleased when she discovers he's sleeping with college girls on the side?"
Your choices are limited, but I am guessing Derek Jeter. The only reason being that when I went to Fordham University, Mr. Man was seen around the campus bars with his then college girlfriend.
Also with Jeter was Shane Spencer. He obviously didn't date the hot chick. But I do remember him being there because California Correspondent went up to him and asked "how big Mo Vaughn's dong was."

The place to be....for the Characters, Places & Things on Television
Milton the Monster was created by Count Kook (Larry Best) and a mad scientist named Professor Weirdo (Dayton Allen). At the beginning of each episode, Milton's creator is seen dabbling in his laboratory. Mixing up a batch of monster formula he begins with:
"Six drops of the essence of terror, five drops of sinister sauce....And now for the tincture of tenderness, but I must use only a touch, for without a touch of tenderness, it might destroy me, Whoops! to much..."
With the mistake irreversible, out popped a hulking, moronic monster that belched smoke from the top of his head. Its first words were "Hello daddy!, I'm Milton your brand new son." Milton lived at Horrible Hill, Transylvania.

Home › Forums › Campfire › Pre-Trip Planning › Awesome winter trip suggestions in Yosemite?
Sep 25, 2012 at 12:45 am #1294417
Last Nov I did a trip from the valley floor up to Yosemite Falls and then over toward eagle peak.
It was freezing cold, no crowds, no mosquitos and I loved every minute of it.Are there any other Yosemite winter trips I should check out this year?
Any suggestions are welcome.Sep 25, 2012 at 12:47 am #1915361Btw, I'm totally ok with having to use snowshoes, crampons, ice axe, etc. in fact it's preferred though I know Nov will likely be a bit early for that.
Sep 25, 2012 at 9:01 am #1915409Hike or snowshoe out of Hetch Hetchy up to Tilden Lake and loop it. I believe it is about 45 miles and makes a great late season trip when Falls Creek is iced and snowed over. If you do it in November you will have to cross Falls creek near Wilma Lake. From what I read it is a less than waist deep slow crossing. (it was a raging swim when I last tried to cross it.). You can also shorten up the trip by looping at Wilma lake and there are even shorter options as well. This is a great area in he winter since they maintain the road to the dam.
Sep 25, 2012 at 4:33 pm #1915558if not Yosemite then Emigrant
Sep 25, 2012 at 9:05 pm #1915652This year there will hopefully be a lot more snow than last.
Anyhow, November there usually isn't much of the white stuff.
So if you want to do another hike starting from the Valley that is similar to the one you did last year, you could go up Snow Creek.
Steep hike up, but fab views of Half Dome all along the way. At the top of the switch backs is the best camp spot ever.
From here you can continue up to Mount Watkins
Then go back and continue towards North Dome
Then onwards towards the top of Yosemite Falls and down that way.
Edited to try to insert those images.
Sep 25, 2012 at 11:39 pm #1915669Thanks guys! :)
The Tilden lake loop and snow creek route both sound very interesting.
Any idea of the mileage on the snow creek route you suggested?Sep 26, 2012 at 10:31 am #1915766The Snow Creek loop is about 20 miles if you include the off trail jaunt up Mount Watkins. Perfect weekend trip.
Check on water sources before you go as there really isn't much around North Dome.Sep 26, 2012 at 3:41 pm #1915881Thanks Katy!
Those pics look great. And yes good point about the water. I was on North dome a few years back during the summer and couldn't find water anywhere. All the streams were dry. -

Dining Room
My house was built in 1972, no updating had been done.
I looked at brick at Home Depot, they had the brick I wanted, but I couldn't afford it. One night I needed products for a separate project, and as I walked into the store, the brick I wanted was sitting outside in a crate, marked down because someone bought to much and returned it.
I worked with the manager on a price lower than they had posted, it was then in my budget!
I was so excited, I bought a RYOBI Angle Grinder, in hopes that me as a single mom with her first home could do the brick project by myself.
I was so excited, I did it, Now I am onto other projects without hesitation, I love doing this stuff! I can do it all, nothing can stop me after those bricks.

Dr. Root taught en passant to the Intermediate and Advanced groups. After showing the rule on the demonstration board, each group tried the Create challenge from Thinking with Chess: Teaching Children Ages 5-14. This challenge involves creating a 10 move, notated game with three en passant captures. For the beginners, who were still putting kings next to kings, Dr. Root taught an exercise with White king on e1, Black king on e8, and each side tried to get his or her king legally to the other king's square first. Dr. Root also re-taught, and tested students on, the two rook checkmate to this group. |
And for the chess-player the success which crowns his work, the great dispeller of sorrows, is named "combination."

Check the Version of Your Apple Mobile Device Driver
All Apple devices that can be connected to a PC using the USB port will use Apple's mobile device driver for Windows. To check which version of this driver is installed, use the following steps:
- Make sure the iPad, iPhone or iPod is connected to the PC using a USB cable.
- Open the Windows Device Manager from the Control Panel, or type "devmgmt.msc" at the Start menu.
- In the Device Manager, expand or open the Universal Serial Bus Controllers group.
- Locate the Apple Mobile Device USB Driver, and right-click this device.
- In the popup menu, select Properties.
- Next select the Driver tab.
- Check the Driver Date and Driver Version of the Apple USB driver to see if you have the latest version of the driver.
To update an Apple USB driver, you normally need to install the updated iTunes application. If you download the stand alone Apple USB driver update using DriverFinder, you can simply update the driver without the need to download and install the complete iTunes software.
Once downloaded, simply run the AppleMobileDeviceSupport.msi (or AppleMobileDeviceSupport64.msi for 64-bit Windows versions) to install the new driver.
When you plug your iPod, iPhone or iPad, the new driver will automatically be used!

The 1,100-space structure at South Kingstown's Wickford Junction train station is not even 10 percent full on the best of days, little more than a year after the Mass. Bay Transportation Authority extended its commuter-rail service south from T.F. Green Airport.
The parking spaces in the 640-space garage at the Interlink in Warwick aren't getting filled up, either, according to state officials. In both cases the reason is simple: Ridership on the 10 trains a day traveling to and from Providence is not only failing to grow, it actually has shrunk in the last year.
In both cases the money spent – $44 million on the Wickford garage and $267 million on the entire Interlink project – was public investment in infrastructure. Economic conditions may not have turned Providence into a job-creation machine for the moment, one that would make taking the train downtown a pleasant and economically viable alternative to sitting in traffic on Interstate 95 or Route 4.
But as the state and national economies continue their turnaround, that day will arrive. •

Video from EYEWITNESS NEWS in LOS ANGELES
June 9, 2010
4:15 p.m.
Los Angeles, CA
What a traffic nightmare that has played out all morning and afternoon here on the 405 Freeway in West Los Angeles.
A California Highway Patrol motorcycle officer was critically injured in a crash that shut down a busy portion of the 405 Freeway on Wednesday for nearly 8 hours.
The officer was making a routine traffic stop around 8:45 a.m. on the side of the freeway when another motorist crossed into the shoulder, striking the officer and pushing him into a second vehicle. The accident took place around the National Boulevard off ramp.
The officer is in critical condition and was rushed to nearby UCLA Medical Center. The SUV's two occupants received minor injuries. The other driver's condition was not known.
Some of the freeway is open now, but this traffic nightmare is going to last for several more hours. The side streets and local neighborhoods along the 405 and 10 Freeways are literally a maze of cars linked bumper to bumper.

It has little to do with Apple. People are used to having their software up to date when they use smart phones. Android has plenty of defects in the earlier iterations that you need to develop work arounds for. The newer versions give much better functionality and performance, but if you are not able to develop your application for the newer platform, none of the benefits will pass on to the end user. While the iPhone apps keep getting better, Android developers will be catering to the least common denominator.
I bet it is a i9+++ phone.
From Ars Technica
"In many ways, the project arguably benefits IBM by encouraging interest in the mainframe platform. That is largely why IBM has shown no hostility towards Hercules in the past. In fact, IBM's own researchers and System Z specialists have lavished Hercules with praise over the years after using it themselves in various contexts. The project was even featured at one time in an IBM Redbook. What brought about IBM's change in perspective was an unexpected effort by the TurboHercules company to commercialize the project in some unusual ways.
TurboHercules came up with a bizarre method to circumvent the licensing restrictions and monetize the emulator. IBM allows customers to transfer the operating system license to another machine in the event that their mainframe suffers an outage. Depending on how you choose to interpret that part of the license, it could make it legally permissible to use IBM's mainframe operating system with Hercules in some cases.
Exploiting that loophole in the license, TurboHercules promotes the Hercules emulator as a "disaster recovery" solution that allows mainframe users to continue running their mainframe software on regular PC hardware when their mainframe is inoperable or experiencing technical problems. This has apparently opened up a market for commercial Hercules support with a modest number of potential customers, such as government entities that are required to have redundant failover systems for emergencies, but can't afford to buy a whole additional mainframe."
IBM is suing TurboHercules who are out to make money out of the Hercules project.
From the TurboHercules website.
"The TurboHercules Niche
TurboHercules is looking to carve out a commercial niche that complements—not competes with—the IBM mainframe.
The niche we see for TurboHercules is to focus on ancillary workloads such as mainframe education, training, demonstrations, pre- and post-processing, data preparation, archiving, development and testing. However, IBM has restricted the use of its operating system software to IBM mainframes only.
But, there is an exception. The worldwide IBM Customer Agreement clearly states that "if the designated machine is inoperable, the customer may use another machine temporarily." Disaster recovery / business continuity is an ideal fit for TurboHercules since the backup and related communications occur without the need to run any IBM software on the TurboHercules machine.
For an overview of our disaster recovery offerings, please visit our DR Solutions page."
Android called to let you know that despite the hype, it is trying to appease too many mobile operators with vested interests.
As a kid I played killing people. It was either cowboys and indians or police and robbers. But now apparently kids need to be cocooned till they are 18 and then must know everything at once. No time to learn what is right and wrong.
Of course, if they allowed people to get smart, the army wouldn't get recruits for the war on terror.

Masterworks from Budapest. From the Renaissance to the Avant-Garde
From 18 February to 28 May 2017
An artist associated with Cubism, the French painter Auguste Herbin made a firm stand in favour of non-figurative art from 1917 onwards, becoming an influential figure for French artists of the second half of the twentieth century.
Herbin studied drawing at the Lille École des Beaux-Arts from 1898 to 1901 and later took up residence in Paris at a time when his works were influenced by the Impressionist and Post-Impressionist movements. In 1909 he went to live in the Bateau-Lavoir, where he met Pablo Picasso, Georges Braque and Juan Gris, who steered him towards the Cubist language he would soon adopt. In 1910 he exhibited at the Salon des Indépendants in the same room as Albert Gleizes and Fernand Léger and his work was included in the Salon de la Section d'Or of 1912.
Herbin's first fully abstract works date from 1917. After the First World War he exhibited regularly at Léonce Rosenberg's Galerie de l'Effort Moderne and started on a series of painted wooden reliefs. So poor was their critical reception that Rosenberg recommended his return to figuration, and he heeded this advice for a brief period during the 1920s. Despite pressure from the Communist Party, of which he was a member, to place his art at the service of the political cause he supported, Herbin continued to be a firm advocate of non-figurative art until the end of his days. In 1931 he established the Abstraction-Création group together with Georges Vantongerloo and in 1949 published L'Art non-figuratif, non-objectif expounding his theory of colour and the correspondences between writing, music and the visual arts. In the 1950s he started up the Salon des Réalités Nouvelles, of which he was director until 1955.

What does my daughter remember most from her big roller skating birthday party extravaganza?
EyeDoll Chatter is the brainchild of two Atlanta sisters who wanted to create a truly interactive mineral makeup experience for girls. Available in cute, self-contained kits for eyes, cheeks, or lips, everything is skin-safe, food-safe, all-natural, and free from the big baddies: talcs, dyes, parabens, and petroleum products. Believe me–I double-checked the ingredients before letting my birthday girl go crazy.

*Guest post by Sara Horn, LifeWay Women author
Here's a confession. (How's that for a start for my first time guest-posting here?!)
I never wanted to "do" women's ministry. That sort of ministry, I thought early on, was full of drama and cattiness and gossip that I just did not want any part of. So I avoided women's Bible study sign-ups and passed on invitations to evening get-togethers. It just "wasn't for me," I'd tell myself.
As an early-twenty-something eager to make my mark in a successful career, I preferred to stay in the "man's" world. I worked as a writer/journalist and jumped for the chance to do any fun, interesting adventure that came my way. I interviewed politicians in Washington. Celebrities who professed a faith in Christ in Hollywood. And eventually, I flew to war zones in Iraq to interview soldiers and sailors.
And there, of all places, on the other side of the world in places of both steel (an aircraft carrier) and sand (Baghdad) is where God started working a change in both me and my attitude towards women's ministry. At the time, I just didn't know it.
I was a military spouse for as long as I'd been a writer – my husband joined the Navy Reserves the year before we got engaged – but for the first 10 years, I never really saw myself in that way or as that title. Until Cliff got ready to deploy in 2007. And then everything changed. And gradually, so did my heart towards women's ministry.
Through that first deployment, God taught me (among many things) that I needed other women in my life. To share with. Laugh with. Pray with. And encourage. Me and them.
So I took a deep breath and with God's nudging (more like pushing – ever experienced that?), Wives of Faith began.
We'll celebrate 5 years of ministry this winter. And while there have been wonderful times, learning times, even some lonely times (in leadership there always are those seasons of loneliness, isn't there?) – oh my goodness, there have been some GROWING times! And I'm grateful for all of it!
Military spouses aren't a dime a dozen. Less than 1% of our U.S. population serves in in our Armed Forces. And I am convinced God has a specific purpose and plan for military wives. He knew before we did that we would serve in this special role.
There are so many ladies I've met who have such amazing stories. But they would not call their stories amazing. They would just call it "life."
There's my good friend, an Air Force wife, who supports her husband in his final years of his military career while taking her kids to swim team practice and working as an EMT because she's found a passion to serve people in that way.
There's the military wife and mom I know on Facebook who not only has seen her husband through multiple deployments but is dealing with her own three-year battle against leukemia, sometimes completely on her own.
There's the young National Guard wife who just said goodbye to her husband for a second deployment to Afghanistan in four years and gave birth shortly after he left to their third child.
These women probably would not call themselves brave. They would say they're simply doing what they have to do. But I see bravery in their stories and in others like them every day.
Because what they do matters. They make a difference every day for their families and for others around them. They make a difference because what they do at home helps their spouses serving overseas do what they do for all of us.
So many of these ladies I know are able to do what they do because of their faith. Their relationship with Christ is what keeps them going. And many of them have made the comment, "I don't know how I could do this without Him."
But my thoughts often turn to those spouses who don't know Him. Who didn't grow up in church or who haven't been in a church in a very long time. Who are trying to go it alone. And for these ladies, my prayer is someone – someone like you, for instance – will see them. And friend them. And show them love. The way Jesus would.
My prayer is that someone will remind them that they don't have to be brave on their own. That there is Someone else much braver who will share the journey with them.
So when you meet a military spouse, give her a hug. And tell her she is very loved.
Sara Horn is the founder of Wives of Faith and the author of the LifeWay study, Tour of Duty: Preparing Our Hearts for Deployment. An interview she gave last year with Focus on the Family about military families and her book, GOD Strong: A Military Wife's Spiritual Survival Guide, will re-air Aug. 1.

I am not a military wife but my best friend was. He was deployed to Iraq in the worst of the worst prison. To make a long story short, her husband, a Believer and chaplain, was deeply effected by what he saw, which contributed to giving in to impurity. Her husband, as she knew, never returned. My heart goes out to the military husbands and wives whose lives are broken in the period of separation. To lose a mate in this way is terrible. We need to be sensitive to those whose marriages are ruined, supporting them in love and… Read more »
Thank you so much for this bible study. It is so encouraging to know that the rest of the country DOES think about us military wifes. After serving in the AF for 24 years, far too many deployments and TDYs, long hours at work…etc, my husband will be retiring and following God as a Youth Pastor in Texas. I am so excited, yet a bit anxious about this change. The military has been a wonderful and at times painful part of my life and it's securities are hard to leave behind.

Research & Publications
- Research Summary
- My interest in the pathophysiology of airway hyper-reactivity, particularly in relation to exercise, hyperventilation and ozone-induced asthma, formed the basis of my early research. More recently my focus has shifted to the uses of clinical innovation, and innovative technology in the care of critically ill children. I have investigated the use of computer-based technology to continuously and electronically monitor high fidelity audio outputs of lung sounds in critical care patients. In addition, I have been active in the development of a unique/first-of-its-kind service of pediatric telemedicine. We created a home-to-hospital program, Connected Pediatric Critical Care, which features real-time video communication, enabling the on-call attending physician, when at home, to personally examine the patient and communicate directly with the PICU staff, other specialists and the child's parents. The remote examination includes the innovative use of a mobile, high-definition videoconferencing unit with robotic cameras and scopes in the PICU, and small videoconferencing units in each of the attending's homes. This initiative was recognized by the U.S. Dept. of Health and Human Services Agency for Healthcare Research and Quality (AHRQ) as a clinical innovation. Currently, we are hoping to use similar techniques for the direct benefit of children who require recurrent admissions to the PICU because of their chronic illness by enhancing the parent/child communication.

The quality of innovation and the extent of the market
I present a comprehensive model of international trade in technology that considers both the demand for inventions and the supply of inventions. On the demand side, domestic and foreign firms make strategic technology adoption decisions. On the supply side, inventors compete to sell licenses for their technology to domestic and foreign firms. Countries benefit from international trade in technology because they obtain the best invention from a larger pool of inventions. International trade in technology increases the extent of the market for inventions and thereby improves the quality of innovation. Technology trade lowers prices, increases outputs, and increases the volume of trade in differentiated products. When traded products are not close substitutes, international markets for technology generate gains from trade. The results of the analysis are robust to the possibility of technology transfer either through expropriation or imitation. Protection of intellectual property rights preserves incentives for entry of inventors and improves the quality of innovation.

Gee Whiz: I think I told you that a friend came over a few days ago and castrated a bull for me with a pair of Burdizzo clamps. I decided that I ought to have a set on hand, so I bought a pair off Ebay. Then I started looking for instructions giving precise details and precautions as to their use. Would you believe I found more articles referring to the use of Burdizzos and elastrators on humans (apparently these things are big among trans/homosexuals and S & M circles) than on cattle? After about an hour's search I found three useful articles, one from the U. of Arkansas, one from a goat breeder and another from the USDA. These will be useful around here. I just will not cut a calf when flies are out. I would have had a pair before now, but they are terribly expensive when new, and I thought the elastrator would do until I found out that using it could lead to losing a calf to gangrene. Ox
eeyuk! i had no idea. :nono: i've been toying with the idea of getting one to use on my goats. i need to neuter an adult male once in a while, as i bring in replacements. kind of a pain to have the vet out, or haul one in to the vet, just for that.
Marvella; They make several sizes. I bought the l9 inch size for bulls. For small goats and sheep they make a 9 inch pair that can be used one-handed like ordinary pliers. There is a mid-size about l4-l6 inches that will work on larger goats and calves. (They will all work, you just cannot close a 9-inch pair one-handed on a bull, and the l9 inch pair would be too large to get in place on a small kid.) Google "University of Arkansas, Burdizzo" to get good instruction. The 9 inch size are on Ebay pretty constantly, and cheap. Ox
Ox as I read your Burdizzo info I'm gettin' an OIIGGH feelin' in me knickers. Me Boys are climbin' for the haymow at warp speed, LOL. Dad had the Big Burdizzo when I was but a lad. Seems to me we had more than one Holstien Steer who sired calves, but admittedly that was probably due to poor technique- There was a nut loose on the handles. :cowboy:
Talking goats here, not cows - This is one of the reasons that we no longer band or use the burdizzo. We surgically remove the testes. I've seen too many problems with banding the teats inside the band or only 1 teste. It is amazing how they can suck those little boys up when they see the bander.
Sometime back I posted on how to minimize the problems associated with banding. My operation is a one man show. If it is done, I do it. I band all my bull calves myself and I have no problems that I am aware. To reduce the possibility of not getting the right components contained by the band I have a small homemade thingy that I make and use. The thingy is nothing more than a thin piece of durable and flexible plastic about the size of a playing card but thicker. A 3/8 inch slot is cut from one long side to the center. (I drill a 3/8 inch hole in the middle and use a small scroll saw to make the slot) When applying the band, I first slide the thingy slot between the scrotum and the belly of the animal. I then count to determine I have two. I now know that I have captive everything that needs to be held below the band. (I buy bands by the 100 for less than $2 and except for a few that I keep on the 4wheeler, keep them in the freezer ) With the thingy keeping everything in place it is a very simple matter to apply the band, remove the banding tool and then remove the thingy. There is no patent on this so feel free to replicate to your hearts content
Agman, you are right; technique is part of it and sprung burdizzos can happen. However, I'd bet on 90% being technique. The U of Ark people say to be sure to pull the testes down, one at a time and clamp the cord two places, about a half inch apart pulling on the testes after the clamp is shut. This ends up with four clampings. This is an old, old technique and was once done with hammers and iron rods. From what I read, Burdizzo was for a long time the only firm to make a successful clamp. I like it because it is bloodless and does not run the risk of blood poisoning as does banding. I remember clamping calves with my buddy when we were about l4 years old, helping his dad. Screw worms were a real problem in those days. Ox
Ox I'm sure that with proper technique the Burdizzo is an effective tool, and avoiding fly problems is a worthy pursuit. Was just funnin' with you about the boys climbing, LOL.

McGloin having a record-breaking day
November 17th, 2012
In the first half of Saturday's game against Indiana, West Scranton QB Matt McGloin is 12 for 18 for 218 yards and four touchdowns. And there are still 30 minutes to play.
Already, he has matched his career high with four touchdown passes — three to Allen Robinson, and one to Zach Zwinak. The four touchdown passes put him in first place all-time at Penn State in passing touchdowns in a career, and if he gets one more, he will tie Todd Blackledge's record with 24 touchdown passes in a single season.
He's also approaching the 6,000-yard plateau for career passing yards. Only one other player in Penn State history — Zack Mills — has topped that.

JC Penney has just announced they are bringing back the ever-popular free snow globes this Black Friday!
Last year, JC Penney replaced the snow globes with promotional buttons, a move that was not terribly well received and ended up angering a very vocal group who have been petitioning for the return of the snow globes for more than a year.
Luckily for them, JC Penney listened and is not only bringing back the snow globes for their Black Friday 2013 sale, but are also offering select rewards members the ability to receive a special, retroactive 2012 snow globe, so that there is no gap in their collection.
Thanks for Visiting and Tell Your Friends!
Buttons out, Snow Globes Back in at JCPenney

NEW PALTZ - The State University of New York at New Paltz softball team battled in its doubleheader against Buffalo State, but the Hawks lost both games, 9-1 (five innings), before dropping a 3-2 10 inning game decided by the international tiebreaker rule.
The Bengals took an early lead in the first game, scoring five runs in the first inning and added four in the third. These nine runs ultimately caused the mercy rule, ending the game after only five innings. The second game of the doubleheader featured an entirely new New Paltz offense, which produced 11 hits throughout a hard-fought 10 innings.
Saturday's pair of losses drops New Paltz to 10-22, 7-11 SUNYAC, while Buffalo State improves to 17-11, 9-5 SUNYAC.
First Game
The Bengals got off to a quick start, scoring nine unanswered runs through the first three innings. Buffalo State scored runs off of doubles from Joanna Bardak, Sarah Gorski and Jenna Clarke in the first. Taylor Swiatek earned an RBI on a fielder's choice and Carly Knight singled to left for the last RBI of the inning. In the third, Buffalo State scored four runs off singles from Knight and Shelly Maggard. Chrissy Rennard also had an RBI on a fielder's choice in the bottom of the third.
Down 9-0 in the bottom of the fifth, the Hawks could only manage one run. Amber Carozza started the rally in the fifth, hitting a double. Shayna Burgess hit a shot to right center, earning herself a triple, and knocking Carozza home.
Carozza suffered the loss for the Hawks
Second Game
The Hawks fought hard through 10 innings, losing 3-2 in a game decided by the international tiebreaker rule that places a runner on second base to start an inning. Buffalo State scored two runs in the first inning, off a double by Kate Brownell. The Hawks were quick to answer, scoring a run in the third. Grande reached first base on a fielders choice, and Brewer knocked her in on a double. Jordan Fiore hit a line drive down the left field line, and reached third. Katie Rutcofsky was able to knock Fiore home on a single to left, which tied the game at 2-2.
The International Tie Breaker Rule went into effect in the top of the 10th. Jenna Clarke was placed on second and moved over on a sacrifice bunt by sophomore Chrissy Rennard. Clarke would ultimately be hit home by Shelly Maggard to earn Buffalo State a 3-2 victory.

+25% DPS just from fiddling with keybindings

is that 20k DPS total, or additional?
EDIT: took me a minute to figure out you meant additional from the forum title - who reads titles, anyway :P
Post by
You need a DP keybind on its own to squeeze out more - you get Shadow Orbs from the first SW:D of each set, so might as well have a seperate key for MB and DP anyway.
Also, your MF macro is a dps loss - you can't "clip" the damage of MF anymore, so restricting it to nochanneling is a loss of dps (by saving some mana - something I have yet to even consider I have)
Post by
I've tweaked MB/DP macro to get over the linearity of the /castsequence
/castsequence Mind Blast; reset=alt Devouring Plague, Mind Blast, Mind Blast, Mind Blast
I have to use Shift+F2 first after evey death or login, then it doesn't break for a long time.
Other than that, the point was to REDUCE amount of keybindings.
Don't know about Blizzard game developers, but I have normal human hand, with 4 outstretched fingers, and it's difficult to control more than 6-7 buttons at a time.

In which we "read" the Wednesday tabs. So you don't "have" to.Advertisement US Weekly We hate to be predictable, but even though InTouch wins our "What You Should Read In The Line To Pick Up Your Mood Altering Pharmaceuticals" award for its counterintuitive suggestion that Nicole Richie actually ovulates, we picked up US Weekly first today, because, and only because, of a hundred-word "Love Lives" feature (page 51) on Seth Rogen's live-in girlfriend (the shackup of Knocked Up!) aspiring screenwriter Lauren Miller. A writer with a thing for fat guys! Dare we say that sounds JUST LIKE... well, you get it. Because, let us tell you, the whole "Will Vanessa Minnillo's slutty-ish confusing knife-wielding Linday pix come between her and Nick Lachey" premise of the US Weekly cover story ? Well it wasn't much of a premise! Especially considering that we learn inside that Lindsay + Minnillo are "not BFFs" (page 64). In other news, Angelina is so skinny because she has a guilt complex about the billions and billions and billions of people in the world who don't have enough to eat. What? Didn't that mom whose death was last month's excuse for her anorexia teach her the Clean Plate Club Theory of Starving Children? Or are Maddox and Pax now sitting around fasting in luxury out of guilt for their old countrymen too? Sigh..AdvertisementStar *Cottage Cheeks! Taking at cue from the recent NY Mag issue on cancer survivors, Star gives an inspiring spin to an evergreen downer of a magazine topic. You know, summer cellulite! That's right, they found stars who BEAT it! Intriguingly, the star of the package is one Britney Spears, whose feta-ass (hey, we've got one too!) we just glimpsed on Monday after paps snapped a photo of her World's Largest Wedgie in Mexico. But according to Star (page 50), Brit has actually gotten rid of her dimples through LipoDissolve, which makes us wonder if the real story-behind-the-story would not be "How stars got the celeb tabs to stop writing about their tapioca thighs." In sidebars: Mischa Barton and Kimberly Stewart are encouraged to not "give up" their quest to get rid of their "cellulite" (p. 54 and 55). Other tidbits from Star today? *Brad says no more to being "Mr. Mom"! (pages 48-9); Underage drinking EXPOSED (p. 46-7); "Celebs don't play by the same rules as the rest of us" (page 47); Jesse McCartney (?) is a lush and some waitresses are scared to ID celebs because they might get in trouble or fired (page 47); Paris Hilton will get serious bank for all the interviews and book deals after jail. No shit! (page 45)Life & Style Baby News! Angelina wants two more kids, so it's a good thing Maddox is nearing baby-sitting age already (page 27); Katie Holmes [According to Tom Cruise it's "Kate" now. -Ed.] also wants another baby and is on a special diet that Tom "helped devise" of egg-white omelettes and fruit and probably the bone marrow of aliens (page 28); Nicole Richie might be preggers because she has a bit of a lump in some unflattering jersey dress and made a recent visit to a "reproductive clinic". However, she could just have that weird bump cause she's malnourished (page 30). Other tidbits: Britney's revealing confessions! L&S needs to bring in some Ph.D to decode Britney's blog posts (page 37); Top Hollywood Dads: Brad is number one! (page 49). Oh! And Spencer Pratt of The Hills gives #1945 in a string of exclusive interviews, reveals he is "pretty obsessed" with Heidi Montag and he thinks she is going to change the music industry. Because, you know, she is so not dependent on affirmation from men for self-actualization! (Page 51).InTouch Stars Without Makeup! cover story: All of them look generally good w/o make up except Emily Deschanel (page 37). Also: More on Nicole's bump! She is soooo in love with Hilary Duff's ex-boyfriend (page 42); and remember when she played a pregnant woman on The Simple Life? No? (page 43). Also: One "pal" says that Nicole is too thin to be pregnant. What about we leave that to the BIG GUY, frenemies??? Other tidbits: Lindsay Lohan isn't taking rehab seriously (page 26), Callum Best says "who cares" when asked about her (page 27). And lastly, all about Paris Hilton: She will make a lot of money (page 57), painted some ceramic things at Color Me Mine before she went to prison (page 56), and rounded out her week-long voyage of almost perversely inane shows of spiritual soul-searching at Paula Abdul's House of Sunday Upchuck...also known as church! (Page 56).Reply2 repliesLeave a reply

midiBrain – midi looping and performance tool –
midiBrain is a built pc app (have to write a guide how to use the mxf-file with mac and the runtime but need a mac to try out..anyone?).
It records and loops arbitrary midi data synced to ReWire or to internal clock and midi clock master. One multifunction-button can control the essential looper function for easy use in performances. Incoming midi (optional) can be set to a chosen channel in order to address the events dynamically to different targets on the fly. The program keeps track of programs for all 16 midi channels to easily switch between programs of synthesizers, whether they are virtual or not. Some ways of using it: The program sits in front of the sequencer software/synthesizer so that Fi. In case of Ableton pre-mapped midi controllers to parameters like the frequency of an autofilter can be looped, as well as aux-sends like all midi assignable parameters and of course notes for playing an instrument etc. . midiBrain gets events from its 3 midi sources to record/loop and alter them and the events are forwarded to a virtual midi-port (in case of using it with a sequencer software) or sent out straight to physical midi-port or any program or device which is capable of receiving and transmitting midi events. You can use this software standalone as it can be used with its internal clock (max transport) and sync midi hardware to it. I played gigs with it and it was fun to use and I thought after testing it its time to upload it.
A manual is included in the download as well as videos on youtube.
the program is written in Max and Java. Max is used for all but the looper and midi event logic/quantization (like undo-function etc.).
