Two 23-year-old friends, a blue jay named Mordecai and a raccoon named Rigby, are employed as groundskeepers at a park and spend their days trying to slack off and entertain themselves by any means. This is much to the chagrin of their boss Benson (a high-tempered living gumball machine), along with their co-worker Skips (a yeti); but to the delight of Pops (a naïve, lollipop-shaped gentleman whose father Mr. Maellard owns the park). Their other co-workers, Muscle Man (an overweight green man) and High Five Ghost (a ghost with a hand extending from the top of his head) serve as rivals to Mordecai and Rigby. As stated before, the show usually revolves around Mordecai's and Rigby's attempts to avoid work and enjoy themselves; however, they oftentimes have to pay for their irresponsible actions, as they always get into more trouble than they thought. This typically results in Mordecai and Rigby going through bizarre and surrealistic misadventures.Genres: Animated sitcom Comedy-drama Fantasy Surreal humor

We have just received our very own Samsung Captivate device and have put together some first impressions as well as some great photos. The Samsung Galaxy S is launching in some form or fashion on practically every U.S. carrier, and AT&T's model, the Captivate, is pretty action-packed. As far as specifications, the device is powered by a 1GHz CPU, 2GB 16GB of internal storage, a 5 megapixel camera, Super AMOLED screen, and Android 2.1. As far as the hardware goes, the device is very, very thin, but comes across as feeling pretty cheap thanks to a, well, really cheap plastic casing. Samsung tries to add a little pizazz with the textured back battery cover, but honestly it gets lost in a sea of mediocrity. The display is top notch, though, very readable and usable in sunlight, with great colors. The blue default color scheme on here really pops with the contrasting deep black. As far as size, 4 inches of display seems like the perfect compromise between the gargantuan DROID X and EVO 4G and the smaller iPhone-sized handsets.
The Captivate seems very snappy, and it isn't as molested as we'd figured it would be. You know, when mixing AT&T and Samsung together, well, we don't tend to get pleasant thoughts about that collaboration. We're not saying there isn't enough AT&T-branded apps and content in here to make Andy Rubin nauseous, we're just saying it's more tolerable than we thought, and that's a good thing for everyday usage. We'll get started on our full review, but in the meantime check out some pretty pictures!
Click on over to our AT&T Samsung Captivate hands on gallery!
Update: After playing around a bit, it looks like AT&T has blocked the installation of non-Market apps, and we can't find Google Navigation on here. Neither of those are big surprises, but hey, a guy can dream, right?
Update 2: We have received word from some AT&T sources and readers, and Google Navigation is actually supported on the Samsung Captivate. You have to update to the latest Google Maps through the Market, then enter an address to get driving directions to, and then you can click Navigate. There isn't a separate Google Navigation application, but it can most definitely be accessed.

Comic book series : Everything is an afterthought
Everything is an afterthought - The Life and Writings of Paul Nelson
One of Library Journal Reviews' Best Books 2011
One of Rolling Stone's Best Rock Books of 2011
Listed in Ken Tucker's Top 10: The Year in Music on NPR's Fresh Air
The New York Times Sunday Book Review Editors' Choice (Jan. 1, 2012)
"Music book of the year" (tie), The Republican
What happened to Paul Nelson? In the '60s, he pioneered rock & roll criticism with a first-person style of writing that would later be popularized by the likes of Tom Wolfe and Norman Mailer as "New Journalism." As co-founding editor of The Little Sandy Review and managing editor of Sing Out!, he'd already established himself, to use his friend Bob Dylan's words, as "a folk-music scholar"; but when Dylan went electric in 1965, Nelson went with him.
During a five-year detour at Mercury Records in the early 1970s, Nelson signed the New York Dolls to their first recording contract, then settled back down to writing criticism at Rolling Stone as the last in a great tradition of record-review editors that included Jon Landau, Dave Marsh, and Greil Marcus. Famously championing the early careers of artists like Bruce Springsteen, Jackson Browne, Rod Stewart, Neil Young, and Warren Zevon, Nelson not only wrote about them but often befriended them. Never one to be pigeonholed, he was also one of punk rock's first stateside mainstream proponents, embracing The Sex Pistols and The Ramones.
But in 1982, he walked away from it all – Rolling Stone, his friends, and rock & roll. By the time he died in his New York City apartment in 2006 at the age of seventy – a week passing before anybody discovered his body – almost everything he'd written had been relegated to back issues of old music magazines.
How could a man whose writing had been so highly regarded have fallen so quickly from our collective memory?
With Paul Nelson's posthumous blessing, Kevin Avery spent four years researching and writing Everything Is an Afterthought: The Life and Writing of Paul Nelson. This unique anthology-biography compiles Nelson's best works (some of it previously unpublished) while also providing a vivid account of his private and public lives. Avery interviewed almost 100 of Paul Nelson's friends, family, and colleagues, including several of the artists about whom he'd written.
Bruce Springsteen says, "He is somebody who played a very essential part in that creative moment when I was there trying to establish what I was doing and what I wanted our band to be about."
This is a landmark work of cultural revival, a tribute to and collection by one of the unsung critical champions of popular art.Presents the life and career of the music journalism pioneer, who championed the early careers of such musicians as Bob Dylan and the New York Dolls, but fell into obscurity after abruptly leaving the profession

How to light up a Jack-O-Lantern – An Electrician's Guide

Today is Valentine's Day in Japan. The day is slightly different from its American counterpart—2012, more so. Early this morning, gamers lined up so they could spend the day with someone special: their virtual girlfriends.
Love Plus is a dating simulator. New Love Plus, released today for the 3DS, is the latest in the series.
What separates Love Plus isn't just the amount of data developer Konami packed into it, but the fanfare the games have; Konami caters explicitly to its hardcore players. The Tokyo-based game company once even launched a campaign in which fans could go on vacation with their virtual Love Plus girlfriends.
For New Love Plus, Konami is launching a paid email service for the game. Players can get regular emails from their virtual girlfriends for a mere ¥315 (US$4) a month.
Valentine's Day in Japan differs because girls are supposed to give guys chocolate. A month later, there's White Day. On March 14, men give chocolate or presents to the ladies who gave them gifts or sweets on Valentine's Day.
Hoping to capitalize on a new holiday, Marshmallow companies apparently created the holiday decades ago. The marshmallow tradition didn't last, but the name "White Day" stuck.
If it seems like Valentine's puts women in the uncomfortable position of making the first move (it really does), the day can be rough for dateless guys, too. Like anywhere, young men do judge their popularity by how many Valentines they get. Since Valentine's Day and White Day are separated, it's not something one can get over in a single swoop and be done with. Everything is dragged out.
And many women, especially in the workplace, feel compelled to give "giri choco" ("obligatory chocolate") to male coworkers. This isn't true at every company, but it is widespread.
The Japanese tradition seems to avoid any chocolate giving awkwardness on the men's part. That fear of rejection does not exist for men on Valentine's Day. Instead, there's the fear of not getting any chocolate—whether that be obligatory or from the heart.
Which is why Konami's decision to launch New Love Plus on Valentine's Day was especially brilliant. The game isn't only going on sale today, but offering free content at 7-11, meaning that players—and they're mostly males—can get actually get digital Valentine's Day chocolate from one of the Love Plus girls. Hopefully, these players will be able to return the favor next month on White Day.
Culture Smash is a daily dose of things topical, interesting and sometimes even awesome—game related and beyond.

I am trying to better understand the definition of certain objects called minimal relative Schubert modules. My primary reference is Chapters 1 and 2 of Wilberd van der Kallen's Lectures on Frobenius splittings and B-modules.
Here is the setup: $G$ is a reductive algebraic group over an algebraically closed field $k$, $B$ is a Borel subgroup of $G$, $T$ is a maximal torus of $B$, $X(T)$ is the character group of $T$, and $W = N_G(T)/C_G(T)$ is the associated Weyl group. In van der Kallen's notes, the Borel subgroup is assumed to correspond to the set of positive roots of $T$ in $G$.
Given an element $w \in W$, one has the Bruhat cell $(BwB)/B \subset G/B$, and its closure in $G/B$ is the Schubert variety $X_w$. We also have the boundary $\partial X_w$.
Given a $B$-module $M$, one has an associated $G$-vector bundle $\mathcal{L}(M)$ over $G/B$. We can restrict the vector bundle to the Schubert varietiy $X_w$, and then consider the space $H^0(X_w,\mathcal{L}(M))$ of global sections. van der Kallen denotes this space by $H_w(M)$, and calls it a dual Joseph module.
It follows from Remark 2.2.3 and Corollary 2.2.7 in van der Kallen's notes that the functor $H_w(-)$ can be realized as a composition of induction (and restriction) functors $\text{ind}_B^{P_s}(-)$, where $P_s$ is a minimal parabolic subgroup of $G$. Specifically, if $w = s_{\alpha_1} s_{\alpha_2} \ldots s_{\alpha_t}$ is a reduced expression for $w$, then
$H_w(-) = \text{ind}_B^{P_1} \circ \text{ind}_B^{P_2} \circ \cdots \circ \text{ind}_B^{P_t}(-)$,
where $P_i = P_{\alpha_i}$ is the minimal parabolic corresponding to the simple root $\alpha_i$.
Now to the definitions I am grappling with: Let $\mu \in X(T)$, and let $w \in W$ such that $-w\mu \in X(T)_+$ (i.e., $w\mu$ is an antidominant weight). Then the dual Joseph module $P(\mu)$ is defined by $P(\mu) = H_{w^{-1}}(w\mu) = H^0(X_{w^{-1}},\mathcal{L}(w\mu))$. Assume now that $w$ was chosen to be of minimal length with the property that $-w\mu \in X(T)_+$. Then the minimal relative Schubert module $Q(\mu)$ is defined by
$Q(\mu) = \text{ker}(\text{res}: H^0(X_{w^{-1}},\mathcal{L}(w\mu)) \rightarrow H^0(\partial X_{w^{-1}},\mathcal{L}(w\mu)))$.
So $Q(\mu) \subset P(\mu)$.
Is there a way to understand $Q(\mu)$ in terms of the homological properties of the induction functors $\text{ind}_B^{P_i}(-)$ and their evaluation maps $\varepsilon:\text{ind}_B^{P_i}(M) \rightarrow M$ ?
I am not familiar or comfortable at this point with the geometric notions involved in the above definitions, but am much more comfortable with the homological properties of the induction functors, since these can be defined much more algebraically (say, as given in Chapter I.3 of Jantzen's Representations of Algebraic Groups).

Multi-Material BC will accept newsprint even though it has no deal yet with B.C.'s newspaper industry to contribute to the costs of the expanded blue box recycling system that will roll out next year.
Newspapers Canada president and CEO John Hinds said newspaper firms had an agreement with MMBC to make their contribution through in-kind advertising.
But MMBC later came back and pressed for payment mostly in cash – equivalent to draining $6 million a year from the print newspaper industry.
"The newspaper industry simply can't afford the millions of dollars in fees they're looking to set," Hinds said. "Our view is we had an agreement. We negotiated in good faith and we expected them to honour that agreement."
Newspapers Canada represents the three main publishing groups – community newspaper publishers Black Press (owner of this newspaper) and Glacier Media, as well as Postmedia, owner of the Vancouver Sun and The Province.
Hinds said MMBC's reversal came after it became part of a national producer stewardship group, the Canadian Stewardship Services Alliance, which is mainly controlled by multinational firms like Unilever, Walmart, and Proctor and Gamble.
Newsprint makes up about half of what goes into blue boxes but Hinds said newspaper firms were given no representation on MMBC or CSSA.
He noted 85 per cent of newsprint is already recycled and it makes up the most valuable recyclable commodity.
"We feel we're the gold star pupils of the blue box," Hinds said, adding unfair fees on newspapers would effectively subsidize the international consumer goods firms that must now recycle more packaging.
Allen Langdon, managing director for Multi-Material BC, said all member stewards are expected to contribute financially to the costs and letting newspapers do so in-kind would have left other firms unfairly subsidizing them.
"I would gather the newspapers are still figuring out how they want to discharge their obligations under the regulation," Langdon said, noting papers have a duty to collect the waste they generate, regardless of whether or not they are ultimately represented by MMBC.
As it stands, print newspapers are not MMBC members.
Hinds had previously said the newspaper industry might look at its own newsprint retrieval system, but said for now it's "great" if MMBC wants to collect it.
He said he remains concerned that the entire MMBC initiative is badly flawed and will put at risk the "really good" recycling programs run by municipalities.
"Decisions are no longer going to be made locally, they're going to be made in Toronto or Arkansas or wherever else about B.C.'s recycling programs," Hinds said.
"I don't think this works for the environment and I don't think this works for communities."

Cover Reveal: CASSA STORM
Today I'm pleased to announce the cover reveal for our Ninja Captain's new novel, CASSA STORM, due for release September 17, 2013.
Congratulations, Alex. The cover is stunning.
CassaStorm by Alex J. Cavanaugh
A storm gathers across the galaxy…
Byron thought he'd put the days of battle behind him. Commanding the Cassan base on Tgren, his only struggles are occasional rogue pirate raids and endless government bureaucracies. As a galaxy-wide war encroaches upon the desert planet, Byron's ideal life is threatened and he's caught between the Tgrens and the Cassans.
After enemy ships attack the desert planet, Byron discovers another battle within his own family. The declaration of war between all ten races triggers nightmares in his son, shaking Bassan to the core and threatening to destroy the boy's mind.
Meanwhile the ancient alien ship is transmitting a code that might signal the end of all life in the galaxy. And the mysterious probe that almost destroyed Tgren twenty years ago could be on its way back. As his world begins to crumble, Byron suspects a connection. The storm is about to break, and Byron is caught in the middle…

Q: I am a working mom with three kids. The only time I can get to the gym is at lunch. How can I maximize my workouts in 45 minutes to get the best benefits since I have limited time?
A: Like yourself, most people don't get lengthy lunch breaks that allow time for prolonged workouts plus travel to the gym, showering and getting back to your desk — oh, and grabbing some food, too.
But you can use your lunch hour to get in a good, albeit quick, workout, says personal trainer Nicki Anderson, a spokesperson for the IDEA Health and Fitness Association and owner of Reality Fitness, a personal training studio in the Chicago area.
"To get the biggest bang for your buck, the key word is intensity," Anderson says.
One of the biggest mistakes women make at the gym, she says, is thinking their available workout time is best spent doing all cardio — often at the same pace the entire time. Rather than doing 45 minutes of cardio at a steady — and probably a relatively easy — pace, you'll get better overall results by doing less but more intense cardio and also incorporating some strength exercises, Anderson says.
With 45 minutes to work out, she recommends dividing your time between cardio and strength-training, while allowing some time at the beginning and end for a short warm-up and cool-down.
For the cardio portion, aim for high-intensity interval training on a treadmill or bike, for instance, at 65 percent to 75 percent of your maximum heart rate, says Anderson. Work at that pace for three to five minutes, then lower the intensity to allow yourself to recover briefly, and then go for another high-intensity burst. As your fitness level improves with time, you can try to push yourself harder.
When hitting the weights for only about 20 minutes, you may not have enough time to work all the major muscle groups in one day. So target a few muscle groups, such as chest, back, shoulders and abs one day, and then other groups, such as triceps, biceps and legs, on another.
For people who have just 30 minutes to work out during lunch, which may be more realistic for many, one approach that can work is to do cardio one day, weights the next, then cardio, etc., says Anderson. This way, you're training regimen is well rounded, even if you can't do everything on one day.
Above all, make the most of whatever time you do have to work out, even if it's not as much as you'd like. "Don't get into the mindset that it's all or nothing," says Anderson.
And on hectic days when a lunchtime trip to the gym just isn't happening, even squeezing in a 15-minute walk helps. "Whatever you can do is brilliant," she says.
Q1: I'm really confused — should I eat before a workout or after? I have researched this and got both answers. So please, which is best?
Q2: If I'm getting out of bed and doing a 30-minute cardio routine on my elliptical, do I need to eat anything beforehand?
A: There are good reasons to eat before and after exercise, but there aren't strict nutritional rules that apply across the board to everyone, says Molly Kimball, a sports dietitian at Ochsner Clinic's Elmwood Fitness Center in New Orleans.
Factors that can determine whether you should eat before and/or after exercise include when you last ate, how you're feeling, the intensity and duration of your workout, and the timing of your other workouts.
Not everyone feels like eating just before exercise, and that's generally fine for recreational exercisers, says Kimball, even if you're exercising first thing in the morning like the reader in the second question. "Your body has enough carbohydrate reserves to fuel exercise lasting up to 60 to 90 minutes," she says. "So if you prefer to exercise on an empty stomach, that's completely acceptable, as long as it's a shorter workout, and your energy is strong during your workout."
But she notes that some people may find that a snack half an hour before a workout boosts their performance. "Experiment with eating a combination of carbohydrate and protein beforehand," she says. "You may be surprised at how much more power and endurance you have during your workouts."
Kimball suggests these pre-workout snacks:
- light cream cheese on a mini whole-wheat bagel
- one ounce of 2 percent or low-fat cheese with a serving of whole-grain crackers
- fresh fruit with Greek yogurt or cottage cheese.
If you're planning to exercise following a heavy meal, wait about two hours so you don't start your workout with a very full stomach, she advises.
As for eating right after exercise, it's not absolutely necessary for average exercisers doing typical workouts. But if you're starving or it's mealtime — for instance, if you've just finished a lunchtime workout, as discussed in the reader question above — go ahead and eat.
Eating shortly after exercise is most necessary for athletes in training, says Kimball. "Refueling after workouts is especially important if you're training twice daily (such as for a triathlon), or if you train hard on multiple days," she says. "This recovery fueling should ideally be within the first 20 to 30 minutes after you finish exercising, when your muscle cells are most sensitive to glycogen [carbohydrate] replenishment."
Kimball says some good post-workout, high-carb snacks that can aid muscle recovery include:
- a glass of low-fat chocolate milk
- a bowl of whole grain cereal with skim or low-fat milk
- a grilled cheese sandwich (with one slice of 2 percent or part-skim cheese).
Ultimately, listen to your body to guide your eating habits before and after exercise, says Kimball. "If eating prior to any workout helps your energy and power, then have a snack, no matter the intensity or duration of your workout," she says. "And if you know that eating after any workout will prevent you from feeling weak, shaky or ravenous, then by all means, refuel after exercising."

I previously did a pair programming session with Llewellyn Falco to get koans going for Cobra. I called this post "Getting koans started" for a reason... there is a good foundation, but not many koans.
Here is the wiki page with further explanation. This will also lead you to the project page which will lead you to the docs and the code:
As I'm always busy with the core compiler work and forum support, I hope that some of you will pick up on this and continue it.

AppliedMicro's 64-core chip could spark ARMs race
A decade-old race to crank up core counts in x86 chips may have lulled, but the competition has just started picking up in ARM processors.
AppliedMicro, which is making 64-bit ARM processors, will put up to 64 cores in its upcoming X-Gene 3 server chip, said Gaurav Singh, vice president of engineering and product development at the company, during the Hot Chips conference in Cupertino, California.
The closest rival to X-Gene 3 will be chip maker Cavium's ThunderX. The ThunderX is a 48-core ARM server processor and was announced in June.
The X-Gene 3 will be a big upgrade from another version, the X-Gene 2, which will have up to 16 cores. X-Gene 3 will ship to server makers for testing next year.
Adding CPU cores is a power-efficient way to increase processing power. ARM processors are typically used in smartphones and tablets, and AppliedMicro's goal is to put as many low-power cores as possible in a dense server so performance can be increased when customers need it.
"You can increase the performance density," Singh said.
Chips based on the ARM architecture are also smaller, so it's possible to cram more CPU cores inside a dense server. By comparison x86 server chips are bigger, generate more heat, and have to fit within the power limits of a system.
AppliedMicro's goal is to operate X-Gene 3 with up to 64 cores at speeds of up to 3.0GHz in servers that draw up to 160 watts of power, Singh said. The company is targeting its chips for use in web hosting, cloud applications and high-performance computing.
Chip makers started adding cores as an alternative to increasing CPU clock speed, which caused chips to draw more power. The 64 cores in X-Gene 3 tops the core count on any x86 or ARM server chip to date.
Intel has topped out at 15 cores on its x86 server chip, Advanced Micro Devices at 16 cores on its Opteron x86 chip and eight cores in its upcoming Opteron A1100 chip code-named Seattle, which is based on ARM.
The first multicore chip, Power4, was introduced by IBM in 2001. The core war between Intel and AMD took off in 2004 and slowed down at the turn of the decade. ARM 64-bit servers have not yet shipped, but AppliedMicro has now fired the first salvo on the ARM front.
The first ARM 64-bit servers will come out in a few months, and "absolutely by the end of the year," Singh said.
The first servers will come with the eight-core X-Gene chip, which was introduced in 2011. AppliedMicro will bring performance improvements to X-Gene 2 and X-Gene 3, while shrinking the chip size, which will make it possible to keep adding more cores while keeping power draw in check, Singh said.
Singh admitted the X-Gene has taken longer than expected, but the company's been putting in a lot of effort to develop the software and hardware ecosystem.
"We had to open a lot of doors to prove that we were a viable alternative," Singh said. "We had to drive a lot of that ourselves, just to make sure the debuggers, operating systems and everything were up and running."
Intel, Nvidia and AMD ship supercomputing chips with 60 cores and higher, but those are considered co-processors that work alongside main CPUs.

For millennia, the Sapphire Empire has ruled over the various planetoids upon which dwell the Chromians, a race of small, colorful aliens. Powerful, eternal, the Blue Emperors rule over all the Chromians, with each of them in their right place: the Blues on top, holding positions of prestige and influence; the Reds in the large factories, producing the goods that fueled the Empire's rise; and the Greens in the fields and wetlands, growing the Empire's food.
Other less prominent colors, such as the Purples and Cyans, also enjoyed the Imperial peace - but all was not well in the Chromian realm. The Blue rulers became decadent, oppressing the other colors to maintain its dominance. This led to the Crimson Rebellion of the Reds, while the Greens descended into violent anarchy before regrouping into warring clans.
Revolt led to riots, which turned into outright civil war. The Space Wolves, a long-faring race of interstellar weapon merchants, were only too happy to provide tools of destruction to the various factions. The three Primary Colors have been at war ever since, even though the Blues still rule over a large portion of Chromian space.The Sapphire Empire
The Sapphire Empire
The mightiest and richest of the three primary colors, the Blues have access to vast resources, including an open credit line with the Space Wolves. To supplement its officers - all from the Blue aristocracy - Blues can count on conscripts from the various worlds of the Pax Sapphyri, which is good because most ordinary Blue citizens don't really care that about for (or against) the war. By and large, they prefer to leave the actual fighting to others and enjoy the comfort of imperial life.
The Blues have led a long military campaign against the breakaway planetoids of the Crimson Rebellion, all while trying to quell further uprising in worlds they still control. They have been rather successful at limiting the Rebellion's spread, hinting at a possible - if elusive - turning point in the war. They do not consider the Greens, who spend as much time fighting each other as they do raiding the neighboring worlds, to be a serious threat to the Empire.Storyline
The Crimson Rebellion
Borne out of a fraternal trait very common to Reds, the Crimson Rebellion started as the Garnet Convention, which then became the Scarlet Union before briefly changing its name to the Carmine Alliance, then back to the Scarlet Union and finally the current name, which seemed to have stuck. Egalitarian to the core, Reds show as much ability to cooperate in perfect harmony as they do getting bogged down on the smallest of details, such as who picks up the tab at the pub. They fight as hard as they work, but their equipment is often antiquated, and tanks can be so so patched up little of the original one remains!
While struggling agains the Blues, who have dropped their military hammer on them, the Reds have managed to make some gains against the Green raiders, pushing them back to their borders and beyond, in some cases. Whether these gains will help them against the Blues or not remains to be seen, however.The Sapphire Empire
The Green Horde
For hundreds of generations the Green have been the bottom rung of Chromian society, even though they in fact helped feed the fledgling civilization that would eventually give rise to the Sapphire Empire. Greens, however, didn't seem to mind. They worked the land, reaped its fruit for all eat, and this simple life seemed to be quite enough. The Greens' way of life, however, became increasingly harsher as the Empire's growth drained the land and those who worked it. The Greens began to resent the Blues, just as they increasingly envied their wealth. Thus the peaceful farmers gradually turned to contraband and banditry, forming armed clans that fought over dwindling resources, and which became ruled by powerful, ruthless warlords.
Pushed back by the concerted efforts of the Crimson Rebellion, the Greens have started to increase their raids on the rich Blue worlds, but have managed to remain relatively low on the Empire's list of military goals. This has allowed some warlords to grow in power as they slowly wear down the mighty Sapphire throne, one little chip at a time.The Crimson Rebellion
How to Play
Step 1:
Using Augmented Reality ModePrint the Marker
Step 2:
Manually activating AR Mode
Step 3:
Selecting and
Moving Units
Step 4:
Win the war!
Stay alive long enough to carry out your mission.
Step 1:
Using Augmented Reality Mode
If your device allows it, you can enjoy the full Chromian Wars experience by playing it in Augmented Reality mode. First, print the marker if you don't already have one, and place it on a table, floor, or other available surface. Ideally you should be between 1 to 5 feet away from the marker, depending on its size (further away for bigger markers.
Make sure the surface area isn't too cluttered (real-world object detection is an upcoming feature).
Next, hold your mobile device horizontally. Make sure the camera is in top corner and not blocked by any fingers. Take the time to find a comfortable position.
We recommend you do the Units Tutorial (Single Player → Training → Units) to get used to the Augmented Reality experience in a non-threatening environment.
Step 2:
Manually activating AR Mode
Augmented Reality mode is enabled by default on the devices where it is known to run smoothly. If you have an older device but still want to try it out, or if you've You must make sure the AR mode is enabled by accessing the options menu (Extras → Options → Other Options → Augmented Reality).
You can do the same if you want to deactivate Augmented Reality mode. "But why would I want to turn of AR mode when it's so incredibly awesome?" you may ask. Well, you may want to play the game without AR if you don't have a marker handy, if it's too dark or if you don't have a ready access to a flat surface. Don't worry, the game is just as fun in non-AR mode!
Locate your units (when starting at level 1 you are part of the Blue team). The bright colored circle indicates which unit you currently control. A pale blue circle under a unit means it's under your command. You can take control of such units by touching them. You can also touch a selected unit to get info about it.
Step 3:
Selecting and Moving Units
Locate your units, which will be the blue team if you're into Story mode (Single Player → Story). You need to advance in Story mode in order to unlock new tanks in Battle mode (Single Player → Battle).
The bright colored circle indicates which unit you currently control. You can take control of other units on your side by touching them. You can also touch and briefly hold a selected unit to get info about it. Crew members are at the top of the HUD (heads-up display). The heart icon shows whether a crew member is alive, wounded or dead. Units run better when the crew is healthy. The bottom left part of the HUD shows the unit's damage status. The unit will explode if it ever reaches zero. The bottom right part of the HUD consists of the Ammo and Reload gauges. The Ammo gauge shows the current weapon's remaining ammo, while the Reload gauge shows how long before the unit can shoot again. To move your tank, simply touch the ground where you want to go. That's it! You can hold to have the unit follow your finger around.
Step 4:
Fighting and winning the game
Various Power-Ups will help you defeat your opponent (more on those later). Each level will provide you with a mission to accomplish. If you have a unit marked "important" (i.e. with a crown or mask icon above it), make sure you keep them alive until the end of the level - you need them alive to continue!
Power Ups
There are quite a few power-ups that will appear during the course of a battle.
Here are a few of them:
Ammo: replenishes your weapon's ammunition
Medic: heals wounded crew members (but not if they're dead)
Missile Launcher: unleash a powerful heat-seeking missile on your opponent
Repairs: repairs your tank (and restores some of its armor as well)

Wed.4.MAY.2011 -- Bugfix of the WHO Problem.
Wed.4.MAY.2011 -- Selecting "AN" Article Before Vowels
Today into the J avaScript AI we have ported MindForth code that substitutes "AN" for "A" before a noun that starts with a vowel. The mind-module of En Article (for English articles) has no problem of guessing whether a vowel comes next, but instead knows for sure when a vowel is coming, because the NounPhrase module is ready to speak the first phoneme of the chosen noun prior to calling the En Article module. Thus the AiMind seems to use "AN" or "A" as effortlessly as a human mind does.

Kool-Aid Disposal: Strawberry Kraft Macaroni & CheeseWednesday, January 14th, 2009
- 1 Kraft Macaroni & Cheese box
- 1 Strawberry Kool-Aid packet
- 4 tablespoons Imperial butter
- 1/3 cup 2% milk
Adding the strawberry kool-aid at the same time as the dry cheese mix felt like a horrible, horrible idea. So, in order to give this a chance at being edible, I decided to pour the kool-aid in just as the water started to boil.
With every second, I feared that a police officer would bust down my door and assume I had a nice pot of boiling blood going.
With temporary insanity as my copilot, we started takeoff procedures.
Yep, the kool-aid seemed to stain the macaroni just fine.
This was when I started to get that 'what the hell am I doing' feeling in my kidneys. The fully stained and cooked macaroni certainly looked… interesting.
With a strange, robotic resolve, my arms poured the strawberry macaroni in with the milk and butter.
I had a brief hope that the red macaroni would be completely covered by neon-orange cheese.
A brief hope.
Weird, very weird.
The cheesy goodness is there, but it cannot fully mask the strange bitterness underneath.
If you ever had one of those "oh fuck, where's the milk?" moments after you've boiled your macaroni, and you end up skipping the milk entirely, it tastes similar to that. It's not nearly that bad, though.
Oddly, I didn't taste a hint of strawberry until a few minutes after my last bite. This strawberry hint taunted my tongue for the rest of the day.
I actually thought I had ate it in entirety, but long after the sun fell from the sky I noticed half of the batch remained. This remaining portion sits in my refrigerator. Waiting.

Passion. Our hobby/interest/vocation is all about passion. There is a lot of passion in the high-end audio universe and James Bongiorno, the head of Spread Spectrum Technologies, has a consuming passion for his creations. He has been building and refining the Ampzilla amplifier concept since 1974 and holds a patent on the design. From his Web site:
"At the time, James was the director of engineering at SAE. Prior to that he had been the director of engineering at Dynaco where he created the renowned Dynaco 400. While at SAE, James conceived the concept of the full dual differential full complementary amplifier topology which has since, for the last 27 years, become the defacto world standard road map for virtually all high end power amplifiers made today. Ampzilla was originally designed as a construction project for Popular Electronics Magazine. However, the response was so overwhelming, after the rave reviews, that James left SAE to found "The Great American Sound Co. Inc." (GAS CO.). The rest was history.†Read more here.
The Ampzilla 2000 amplifier, a 200 Watt (into 8 Ohms) mono block, is the latest thinking from the mind of James B. It is relatively compact, runs warm but not hot, and weighs a manageable 52 pounds. There is a single pair of speaker terminals and inputs for RCA and XLR interconnects. Interestingly, in the Owners Manual, the point of manufacture is listed as Cullen Circuits, also the manufacturer of the Wyred4Sound ST-1000 amplifier, which was reviewed here on 10Audio.com. Based on my experience with the high quality of other Cullen Circuits' products, SST's selection of Cullen to build his amps was a wise choice. Personally, I was especially pleased to see the selection of an on-shore, US manufacturer to produce a new product.

CONCORD - It is a town closely associated with history, with the environment, and with civil liberties. And Wednesday, as part of its annual town meeting, the citizens of Concord will vote on two proposals that touch on many of those ideals and would, if passed, make history.
One is an environmental measure to ban the sale of water in plastic bottles - the first such action by a municipality in this country - that some hope will be the symbolic start to a global movement.
The other is about cats. On leashes. And the story behind it involves dead songbirds, "terrorist cats,'' property rights, and the nagging question: What would Thoreau do?
Lydia Lodynsky, the woman behind the cat proposal, has offered a plan to create a cat bylaw that would mirror the one for town dogs, and could result in unruly cats being forced onto a leash.
"We don't even have a leash law for dogs, just that they must be under control,'' said Anita Tekle, the town clerk, who believes it would be the first such measure in the state if passed. "So if you whistle and the dog comes home, it's under your control. I'm not aware that you can do that with cats.''
Lodynsky knows that many of her neighbors roll their eyes at her, but says if they take a moment to hear how it got to this point, they might get on board.
It all started three years ago, when Lodynsky moved to Concord with her mother, who was in the midst of an eight-year battle with Alzheimer's. Lodynsky said it was nearly impossible to go anywhere with her mother, so she created a respite in her backyard.
"She was blind and noncommunicative, but she did respond to sound,'' Lodynsky said, "and the sound of birds singing was especially delightful to her, so I tried to embellish it, have it be a place for wildlife and songbirds.''
When her mother passed away, shortly after the move, the yard became a respite for Lodynsky as she mourned. "I would sit and listen and contemplate and basically try to heal,'' she said.
That's when the cats came, and did what cats do: She says they started picking off the birds - including a cardinal, a mourning dove, two bluebirds, and a black cap chickadee the cats tore the roof off of her birdhouse to get to.
Lodynsky initially took her complaints directly to the neighbors who owned the cats. She said the owners, whom she declined to name, were willing at first to discuss solutions. But negotiations soon hit a dead end.
The husband, she said, told her she should put her "endless energy to better use, like changing the law.'' So she did.
She has three warrants on the ballot related to the control and regulation of cats, the focus of which is a measure that involves cats wandering onto a neighbor's property. If the neighbor does not mind, the issue is over. "But if there is a dispute, then the owner needs to respond to that issue and they need to do something about it.'' That could lead to a cat being forced indoors, or confined to a leash.
In Concord, where Henry David Thoreau famously spent time communing with nature at Walden Pond, his ideas continue to pervade. And in the cat discussions, his philosophies are regularly invoked - by both sides.
Barbara Lynn-Davis, a neighbor of Lodynsky, is an avid bird watcher who monitors bluebird boxes in town. She also volunteers with an operation that rescues cats. On this issue, she sides with the cats, and thinks Thoreau would do the same.
"I really feel confident that Thoreau would not want the cats on a leash,'' she said. "It seems to inhibit their freedom to roam and discover. She's asking the cats to be curtailed to maintain this artificial environment that she created to give her pleasure, but the birds don't need that.''
But Lodynsky, who has owned felines in the past, said that it's folly to consider a cat part of the natural world.
"They were brought here and domesticated; they aren't part of the natural food chain,'' she said. "Boldly, I would say Thoreau would support me because he respected natural species and biodiversity. When people say, 'Leave nature alone,' I say nature hasn't been left alone since we moved here. My stand is that I'm trying to help these birds survive us.''
On Wednesday night, the town will vote on Lodynsky's three proposals - Concord has an open government, meaning one citizen, one vote - and she will share the agenda with Jean Hill, an 84-year-old woman who has fought a three-year battle to ban the sale of water in single-serving plastic bottles.
Hill's proposal passed in 2010, but was shot down by the state attorney general's office, which found problems with the way the law was written. After a narrow loss last year, she is optimistic that come Wednesday night, Concord will be the first in the nation and second globally to pass such a measure.
The idea, she acknowledges, is largely symbolic, but her hope is that if Concord - with its huge cachet in the environmental world - passes such a law, others will follow. And as she sat in her townhouse Monday, she also invoked Thoreau.
"I have this mental image of a stone being thrown into Walden Pond, and the circles that come out of it are other towns that follow us.''
So what would Thoreau do? As the town prepares to vote, it's anyone's guess. The bottled water bill looks strong; the cat bylaw not so much. But as Tekle said, you never can tell.
"This is democracy at its best,'' she said. "One person, one vote. And you never know.''

** Originally published at World Now:
Kevin Santana remembers with a blank disenchantment the night he threw a party in his hometown of Ciudad Juarez and soldiers came to break it up.
It was in 2009, the young music producer and DJ recalls, and he and his friends had set up a sound system at a raquetball court and invited other teens to come dance. "There was nothing else going on that night and people in Juarez like to party," he explained a few days ago.
"They put us with our hands against the wall, made us close our eyes, they said they were going to rape the girls. We thought, 'This is it, they are going to break us.' "
I paused and asked for an explanation. Quebrar -- to break -- is slang used to signify killing someone in Ciudad Juarez, one of the most violent cities in the world and a sad symbol for Mexico's brutal drug war.
In the end, the kids were let go and the party was over. Santana shrugged and added: "There have always been soldiers in Juarez."
Santana just turned 18 in August. Troops were first sent to Ciudad Juarez in early 2008. Put another way, Santana has lived in a city with armed federal forces on the streets for most of his teen years.
Known by his DJ name Mock The Zuma, Santana is part of a loose generation of electronic musicians and producers based predominantly in Mexico's northern region that are attracting attention among tastemakers in the capital and in Latino-heavy cities north of the border.
Their cutting-edge sounds draw on diverse Latin American rhythms -- such as cumbia and son -- filtered through easy-to-access editing software that allows the music-makers to mix, scratch, and cut it all up with spacey and aggressive electronic beats.
To call them very young is apt; most are still teenagers.
And if there's any way to unify a description, the new national electro sound could be called bass-heavy, liquid, tropicalized, and -- in a time of war -- sometimes leaning to the dark side. The energy may be violent and jarring at times, but at the root, it's still dance music meant to turn on crowds. Among the acts are the popular MTY 3BALL crew in Monterrey, led by teen whiz Erick Rincon, and Los Macuanos from Tijuana, who mix computerized beats with live instrumentals.
In Monterrey, youth are dancing to an updated version of the 90s "tribal" scene in Mexico, and now refer to the sound as "tribal guarachero." In Tijuana, the dance-party "ruidoson" genre that Los Macuanos represent is giving Tijuana music-watchers something else to talk about besides the world-renowned Nortec sound.
Like many of his teenage contemporaries, Mock The Zuma's music is influenced by the British dubstep movement of previous years and often grouped as "post-dubstep." While he acknowledges the jittery "two-step" quality to his sound, Santana, like any self-respecting producer, declines to concede he belongs to any kind of movement.
Tracks like "Viva la Muerte" ("Long Live Death") reflect both an international awareness of the electronica avant garde and a local awareness of the horrific realities on the ground in a war zone. It is music that pushes relentlessly into the future.
"In some form, for it being Juarez, I use that two-step rythym, so that's the violent part, like Juarez," Santana said before playing at the eighth annual Mutek music festival on Friday night. "Juarez is the part that is bizarro, sick, the hallucinogenic part, and that's two-step."
Los Macuanos and Mock The Zuma were invited to play at this year's Mutek, the premiere platform for new electronic acts in Mexico and a festival considered geared toward sound connoisseurs. Mutek director Damian Romero, also a well-known producer in the Mexico City scene, said this year's line-up is "special" because there's a focus on national talent and experimentation -- as someone like Mock The Zuma shows.
"They're young and doing something that is very sharp and very good," Romero said in an interview just before the two-stage Nocturno 3 event on Friday, at the crumbling old Casino Metropolitano in downtown (link in Spanish).
"Think about how informed this generation is, how much information and communication has evolved in the last eight years," Romero said. "We haven't seen a group like this, that is young and has such a vision."
Santana, who speaks with the lilting rancho accent of Mexico's border region, using phrases like "simón" for "yes" and "arre" for "right on," said he doesn't expect to make a living out of his music. For him, mixing is simply "about experimentation," like when he experimented with piano and guitar as a child.
He just entered the Chihuahua state university to study communications. He says that despite the violence and culture of fear that dominates Ciudad Juarez, he doesn't expect to move across the border to El Paso as many of his friends and neighbors have.
"It's out of control. Everyone is going to El Paso," Santana said. "The truth is, it's cool to live in Juarez when you have your friends."
