Discover Downtown Oshkosh
Looking to discover Downtown Oshkosh? See what our Downtown has to offer!
Romantic Rendevous
Look no further than your local downtown for a wide variety of intimate & cozy offerings.
By: Samantha Teal
An afternoon show at The Grand Oshkosh is the perfect setup for an evening of adventure and romance. With its gorgeous interior decor and historic artwork, this downtown favorite is the perfect place to get cozy. The shows varies from local theatre put on by students, to traveling world-class magicians, and much more. No matter what you are interested in, the Grand Opera House has a show for you. So stop on down, enjoy a show, and observe the interior architectural workings. They'll amaze you.
After your show, make sure to stroll down to Oak's Candy to satisfy your sweet tooth. They offer a variety of gourmet-style candies and chocolates made by hand right at the store. Oak's Candy has been around for over five generations, serving chocolate lovers from all over the area with their exceptional quality, value, and personal service. I personally love the milk chocolates. Trust me, if you haven't tried Oak's before, you haven't tried chocolate.
Be careful not to spoil your appetite for dinner. The Roxy Supper Club on North Main Street is the perfect place to grab a seat with your significant
other. This fine dining establishment offers luxurious and delicious meals which not only fill you up, but satisfy your taste buds. It's truly a hidden gem for couples looking to get away for the night.
If you're lucky enough to be spending time with your special someone during the first Saturday of the month, you can't miss the chance to enjoy the local downtown Gallery Walk. Downtown Oshkosh lights up during this festive activity from 6:00pm-9:00pm. You can enjoy a romantic stroll along our newly renovated Main Street, which features intricate building architectural for all to enjoy. Special gallerias are set up around the downtown area for all to enjoy free of charge. Sometimes the gallerias are themed, sometimes they display offerings from local students, and sometimes they feature traveling displays from well-known artists, all for your enjoyment. Be sure to check out the interactive map on the Gallery Walk website for a list of participating businesses and for more information.
After all that excitement, you might want to head back to the beautiful and cozy Brayton Bed & Breakfast, a short walk from Main Street. This intimate bed & breakfast offers individual decorated suites at reasonable prices. As you enter through the front door, notice the bright and airy four season's room that begs you to sit and enjoy that early morning cup of coffee. Step into the foyer with the curved open staircase and you're greeted with casual elegance and the deep, rich hues that are present throughout the home. The Brayton Bed &Breakfast boasts original architecture inside and out for that feeling of authenticity that you won't find in any branded hotel.

Gardina's is one of the few places in Oshkosh where you can sample various wines along paired with a variety of cheeses. The wait staff is helpful and knowledgeable on all the menu offerings.

If you are really lucky, the owners might have some free samples out during the Farmer's Market.

One of the most beautiful bars in Oshkosh, Oblio's Lounge is another local favorite. Oblio's was originally a Schlitz brew house, established in the late 1800's.

Oblio's offers shuffleboard, a pool table, darts, and plenty of seating.
Studying, Socializing, and Indulging in Downtown Oshkosh
Downtown locals take their coffee, and their cafes seriously. Here are some of my favorites.
By: Samantha Teal
Planet Perk is known by locals as the perfect place to set up a temporary office at a cozy table. With friendly staff, magazines, unique food and drink offerings, and some of the best coffee around, this place is definitely a must-visit in Downtown Oshkosh. There are many "regulars" that get to know the staff, because the majority of them worked there while studying at UW-Oshkosh, located just blocks away. The food and drinks are phenomenal, and many would agree these selections taste like they came right out of grandma's kitchen.
New Moon Café is a centrally located, hip coffee shop right in the center of downtown. The inside is decorated with artwork from local artists and plenty of comfortable seating spaces. New Moon Café offers plenty of choices like hot chocolate, coffee, tea, as well as locally brewed beer. New Moon Café also offers a variety of different soups, sandwiches, wraps, moon dogs, burritos, and quesadillas, among others. My personal favorite in the spicy vegetarian chili, offered daily. The New Moon Café is usually filled with local college students and the like spending time studying, socializing, or listening to late night local music.
Another wonderful place to indulge in some seriously delightful coffee and tea is Caramel Crisp Café. Caramel Crisp is a smaller café filled with a lot more than just hot beverages. It also includes freshly made salads, pasta salads, sandwiches, homemade soups, popcorn, cookies, ice cream, numerous candy offerings, and more! The food is nothing less than phenomenal! Caramel Crisp has a relaxing atmosphere with plenty of seating and natural light. Although lunchtime can become pretty busy, it's worth the wait. And why not check out Caramel Crisp Gifts & Décor, also connected through the Café. This gift shop has a wide variety of unique gifts such as teas, teapots, coffee mugs, wedding gifts, baby décor, and much more! You can find the perfect unique gift for any occasion.

Do you enjoy spilling?
Neither do we.
That's why we invented the Conester!
Learn Why The Conester is So Special!
It's Time To Upgrade
Replace those traditional coasters with The Conester! Finally a coaster cup holder that cares about your table AND your drink!
Order Now! Before you spill again!
The Conester is the design to end all designs when it comes to the anti spill cup holder! The cone shape is more than just part of the name. Similar to traffic cones this simple geometry deflects all outside forces downward instead of side to side. And because we wanted the Conester to be the Fort Knox of cup holders we fitted its base with Tacky-Tech! The Tacky-Tech pad attaches itself to a hundred different surfaces WITHOUT using any glue! Install a cup holder instantly anywhere without the use of any tools! And with just a simple twist and pull it releases it's grip and is ready to protect your drink anywhere. The Tacky-Tech pad has an unlimited number of uses! Order the World's Strongest Cup Holder today and make your life spill free!
Key Features
Super Strength
The Conester base is fitted with Tacky-Tech technology. This material adheres itself to virtually ANY surface without adhesive, making it impossible to tip over!
The Conester is designed to fit multiple shapes and sizes of drinkware. With the included snug zone insert, even skinnier cups with handles will feel secure.
Water Protection
When your drinkware begins to sweat, the Conester's interior design is sure to keep all condensation from ever reaching your table surfaces.
Take it from happy owners!
Might be in my top three favorite kickstarter projects I've backed & received. Lived up to all of its claims.
– Mark
Conesters are perfect for people with cats! I can finally use real glasses again without the fear of a cat knocking it over. :)
– Suzanne
Knocked my whole coffee table over, and only thing that stayed was my Conester. This thing is no joke!
– Jamaal
2 weeks ago I spilled my drink all over my laptop.The repair bill cost me an arm and a leg! I wish I would have bought my Conester sooner.
– Terry
The Failure of Traditional Coasters
Water Damage
The original design of the coaster is to be a barrier between your glass and your table. But against a glass of sweet tea on a summer day the average coaster is no match. Condensation collects and begins its vendetta on table finishes. The Conester is anything but average.
Easy to Knock Over
With regular coasters, the only thing keeping your drink upright is gravity. But make a careless mistake and gravity becomes an enemy. You'll appreciate that the Conester is anti kids, anti pets, and anti clumsy guests. Your furniture and floors will appreciate it as well.
Spills are Expensive
We all know electronics, like Superman, have a debilitating weakness. Superman's is kryptonite and your electronics' is water. Repairing a laptop due to water can break the bank. The same can be said of your furniture or carpet. Though small, the Conester is a heroic investment!

Congress seems on a path to balance the budget on the backs of the poor. With minimal press coverage and little fanfare, both houses of Congress last week passed proposed budgets calling for severe reductions in funding for services such as the Supplemental Nutrition Assistance Program (food stamps) and Medicaid, including the Children's Health Insurance Program, now in place to cover nutrition and health care for struggling low-income families and children.

Your Smartphone Battery Sucks Right … Maybe It's Those Free Apps, Study Suggests
It's no secret, the majority of smartphone's battery life sucks. You turn this off, that off, and it still drains faster than what you would like. And to pile on one more time, even when you take your device off the charger after it has charged to 100%, it instantly drops 5% (we're reaching a bit). This has the attention of every OEM, carrier, OS provider, and most recently Purdue University.
The Purdue University team, led by project leader Abhinay Pathak, makes it clear that free apps are a big reason as to why your battery is draining so fast. Why? Well most free apps have ads all through them (Angry Birds & Words With Friends = big offenders), and the results of the study found that the vast majority of the power used when you are running those free apps come from advertisements and GPS locators within the apps. Engadget states this from the study,
Drilling down into those Angry Birds figures: the game itself only consumes 18 percent of the power, while advertising platform Flurry has 45 percent and GPS location tracking a further 15 percent.
So what does this mean? Well I won't say get rid of your free apps, I'll just say this should be a consideration when going free. Maybe it's worth the cost of battery life … maybe it's not. At the end of the day however, as Pathak points out, these are just "poorly coded apps." For more information, check out the graphs below centering around Angry Birds.

CNET First Look
Yamaha NX-B02 Bluetooth SpeakersFew battery-powered Bluetooth speakers can match the NX-B02's combination of audio quality and ultracompact portability.
[ Music ] ^M00:00:02 >> Hey, I'm Donald Bell, Senior editor for digital audio and MP3 and today we're taking a First Look at the Yamaha NX-BO2. This is a totally portable Bluetooth battery-powered portable speaker. It takes four AA batteries and you can get five hours of audio playback of those batteries. And you can also use an AC adaptor if you want using a little plug in the back here. And if you don't wanna use Bluetooth audio with this, you can still plug in an MP3 player or a CD player using a little 3.5 mm jack on the back as well. The coolest thing about the NX-BO2 is really its size and its style. This is a very cool modern looking little speaker system that takes up just a little fraction of space, so if you have a bookshelf you want to put this on, if you have a really cramped kitchen counter you wanna put this on, it makes a very efficient use of space. We've seen other Bluetooth battery-powered speakers, but none that sound this good for the size and also this well-designed. The features on the NX-BO2 really aren't anything to write home about. There's a power button up at the top, volume controls and a button here to activate the Bluetooth functionality. The sides of the NX-BO2 are probably the coolest looking part of this thing. It looks like an office building. It's got all these little tiny grates from the speaker grill and it's got this mirrored surface that, kind of alternates between like a matte-finish and a glossy-finish, looks rally neat. The bottom of the NX-BO2 is where you're gonna put in your batteries if you wanna run this thing off with four AA batteries. It doesn't draw a lot of attention to itself and it doesn't need a lot of space. It retails around a $199, although, we're seeing it around $140 street price. It's gonna be great value for someone who doesn't have a lot of space in their home and who's really looking for a good sounding, very portable solution for getting audio around the house. So, I'm Donald Bell and that was a first look at the Yamaha NX-BO2. ^M00:01:55 [ Music ]

Vincent began building one-of-a-kind art furniture in 2001 and founded Dust Furniture in 2005 along with his wife Jessie.

The brightly painted finishes are based on artist-grade acrylics, feature various glazing and distressing techniques, and are protected by a high-quality urethane finish.

Some things in life get old after the third or fourth time. Winning Best Movie at the MTV Movie Awards? Not so much.
Not too many people are in a position to comment on that feeling, of course. And not too many movie franchises achieve the "phenomenon" status of "The Twilight Saga" ('though "The Hunger Games" may be on its way!), which collected a fourth consecutive Movie of the Year Golden Popcorn on Sunday.
"It's always meaningful," Nikki Reed told MTV News backstage, as she laughed off the idea that it could ever get old.
"Twilight" faced perhaps its toughest challenger yet in the form of "The Hunger Games," whose box-office success surpassed every entry in the romantic vampires-and-werewolves series in terms of opening weekend gross and overall domestic numbers. The fan base for each franchise is fervent in its devotion, but the "Twilight" legions are the stuff of pop culture legend where the MTV Awards are concerned.
"There was a lot of competition this year," Julie Jones admitted. "I think, for the first time, I was sort of like, 'I don't know, Hunger Games.' There's some really amazingly large franchises now. And I guess we're still winning."
Some very large franchises, indeed. In addition to "The Hunger Games," the second-to-last entry in the "The Twilight Saga" faced competition from the final "Harry Potter" movie, "Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows - Part 2," which claimed the Golden Popcorn for Best Cast. The rest of the category was rounded out by the hilarious surprise blockbuster "Bridesmaids" and the poignant Civil Rights era drama, "The Help."
"[We are] just honored to be in the rankings with a lot of amazing films this year," Jackson Rathbone said backstage.
As the "Twilight" crew in attendance took the stage to claim their prize, they were careful not to take anything for granted. "I think it's just really incredible just to be up on that stage, accepting an award in front of everybody," said Booboo Stewart. "Feeling the love from the fans. It's really cool."
Oscar winner Jodie Foster, who costarred with a preteen Kristen Stewart in David Fincher's "Panic Room," presented the big award to "Twilight." Rathbone said he was "honored to be up there with Jodie Foster," and Nikki Reed giddily shared a story about how nervous she was to meet her.
"She put her hand out after we walked offstage and I just said, 'Oh my God, it's a real honor!' And she said, 'What's your name?'" Reed told us, laughing at the memory of forgetting to mention her own name. "I said, 'Oh! Nikki! Hi! Nice to meet you!' And that was about it. That's my Jodie Foster story."
There's still "Breaking Dawn - Part 2" on the docket, of course, which means the "Twilight" cast could be back to pickup Movie of the Year for a fifth time. Whether "Hunger Games" or some other big flick takes down them, the entire crew seemed happy to have collected this many awards already.
"Thank you very much, world," Rathbone said, looking right into the MTV News camera. "['Twilight'] has so much love, still, and you gave us a four-peat, so thank you. That's something not a lot of people can say."
What did you think of the "Twilight" stars' big Movie Awards night? Sound off in the comments and on Twitter!

Clipper brings blackmail charges against pirates
Clipper Project Ship Management A/S, a member of Denmark's Clipper Group, has pressed charges against the Somali pirates, who hijacked the vessel CEC FUTURE on November 7, 2008 in the Gulf of Aden. Clipper Project brought the charges through the Special International Crimes Office in Denmark headed by the public prosecutor
The CEC Future was on a voyage from Antwerp to Batam (Indonesia), when it was hijacked in the Gulf of Aden. The ship was released on January 16, 2009 after 71 days under the pirates' control. The vessel was registered under the Bahamas flag and managed by Clipper Project Ship Management A/S in Denmark. The crew of 13 consisted of 11 Russians, an Estonian and a Georgian. Though quite common in the shipping industry, the range of flag, management and various crew nationalities schallenges the judicial system of the various nations involved with regard to governing law and prosecution of the pirates, should they be apprehended.
In the case of the CEC Future, the pirates absconded with the ransom without being caught, and to date, no charges have been brought forward.
On release of the crew and vessel, Clipper instructed the crew to collect all available evidence such as DNA material, pictures, letters and other relevant items. All of the evidence was handed over to U.S. Naval Criminal Investigative Service (NCIS) when the vessel arrived at Salalah, Oman. The NCIS also participated in debriefing the crew in order to support the general evidence collection and to improve its understanding of the pirates' "modus operandi".
To Clipper's knowledge the evidence from the hijacking of CEC Future has not yet been used to prosecute pirates.
Until now the piracy prosecution process has primarily been driven by the authorities only a passive participation byshipping companies and other relevant parties
Clipper says it is now taking an active role by adding a new element to its anti-piracy effort.
Although the vessel has a different flag and management, Clipper has now found a way to bring charges forward.
It is acting through the Special International Crimes Office in Denmark which holds national responsibility for legal proceedings concerning serious international crimes.
The principle behind the charge is a paragraph within the Danish Criminal Code which states that the Code can be enforced when the criminal act is effectively taken against a Danish company: in this case Clipper Project Ship Management A/S, based in Copenhagen.
The core of the initiative by Clipper is to start criminal proceedings for blackmail, which is illegal under Danish law. Blackmail is committed both in the place where the blackmailer operates and in the place where the blackmailed company is situated. As Clipper Project Ship Management A/S is a Danish company based in Copenhagen, Danish criminal proceedings can therefore be initiated.
Instead of initiating criminal charges for all aspects of a hijacking, Clipper's approach focuses on that criminal activity by the pirates which undoubtedly can be dealt with by Danish authorities. Clipper says this approach of limiting the focus of thecase might also be open to ship owners in other cases.
Clipper says its action in bringing a charge before the Danish authorities raises a number of questions. Who will apprehend the pirates? Where should the pirates be prosecuted? What will be the consequences of the charge? Clipper has already been in contact with the Danish chair of the legal Working Group of the Contact Group on Piracy off the Coast of Somalia, who has confirmed that these issues will be taken up by the Working Group to the extent they are not already on the agenda in order for the Group to contribute to an international response to these key questions.
Clipper is awaiting a response from the Danish authorities. It expects that they will take the matter very seriously and deal with the charge both speedily and in accordance with the relevant rules.
"We also expect," says Clipper,"that the Danish authorities share this information with their colleagues in other States e.g. through INTERPOL."
Clipper is encouraging other companies that have been affected by a piracy incident to investigate whether their national laws provide a similar opportunity to bring charges against the pirates as well. Clipper firmly believes that, at a minimum, the effort will bring all of the implied challenges to the attention of the relevant governments and authorities.
Clipper says that the Contact Group on Piracy off the coast of Somalia, named Working group 2, or WG 2, is doing an impressive job of establishing the legal requirements to support the prosecution of pirates, but there remain major challenges.
Presently more than 100 pirates are awaiting trial in Kenya and other countries but challenges to be overcome include:
Typically, a wealth of evidence is collected, both during the capture of a vessel and after its release. Examples include:
DNA evidence, debriefing and interview of the crew (some times in the presence of Naval Intelligence) and photos of the pirates
The majority of shipowners have provided such evidence after the vessels have been released. However, the question still remains: How is the evidence used? And, is it shared to the benefit of all involved?
Clipper says evidence provided by shipowners should be available to all involved authorities to support the prosecution process. It seems that evidence collected by the shipowners and vessels is not being disseminated, but to the contrary, it is being used only by the service to which it has been offered. This could be rectified by establishing a shared evidence database. To ClipperÕs knowledge the evidence collected from CEC Future after release, which was provided to the U.S. Naval Criminal Investigative Services (NCIS), has not been shared at all.
A major obstacle to evidence sharing is the lack of an agency that both coordinates the use of evidence and drives the prosecution process; a single point of access for a ship owner. The interface is lacking which results in evidence gathering and prosecution being handled on a Ònarrow basisÓ without required coordination to support the work.. Clipper suggests that a possible way to strengthen the entire process would be to utilize an existing organization that already holds a part of the process and possesses the required knowledge. The initiative by INTERPOL to establish a dedicated task force to coordinate the international response to the maritime piracy threat in all its facets is highly appreciated. INTERPOL already holds a part of the process, and thus, says Clipper, is an obvious choice to expand the mandate to handle a wider range of tasks.
Clipper says that resources need to be allocated to support the prosecution and imprisonment of the pirates and thinks the United Nations "seems to be the natural organization to coordinate such work."

In the post-apocalyptic year 2044, the population has been genetically altered to live in a constant state of happiness, but without sorrow, happiness dissipates, leaving only a feeling of never-ending paresthesia. Only pain can make people feel alive. Jack (Peter Scanavino), a young man and former neurosurgeon, is a peddler of substances that induce pain. A stranger knocks on Jack's door and hands him a single video tape that Jack's long lost father, Ed Alexander Crowley (Jason Robards III), left behind. It is the first in a series of 10 tapes in which Ed has documented his life and his pursuit of what he calls the "Grand Conspiracy," a conspiracy that quite possibly could be the answer to what happened to Jack's world. Inspired by his father's tape, Jack sets out on his own investigation. But in order to solve the whole puzzle, he must locate the remaining nine tapes. Jack begins to track down four more tapes, but the larger answer still eludes him. Jack meets the provocative Lisa (Ana Asensio) in a strip club, and is struck by the fact that she is just as conflicted and lonely as he is. Through her, Jack encounters the possibility of real love. As Jack finds the remaining tapes, the lines between his interior and exterior world blur, leading him to question reality itself. Lisa and Jack decide to abandon the search for the tapes and leave the city. Jack locates Ed's last tape, and is suddenly faced with the same choice his father had to make forty years ago: to surrender his soul, or to remain true to himself, no matter the consequences. Jack's reality becomes the same reality as the final tape. The final scene reveals Jack as an institutionalized patient (named Ed Crowley) with both a brain tumour and epilepsy taking part in a clinical research trial in 2012. The movie ends with him scribbling notes about Zenith while being monitored by a camera in his cell. He wonders if this isn't another part of the conspiracy. Cast

Not Updated For Current Season
The masteries shown here are not yet updated for the current season, the guide author needs to set up the new masteries. As such, they will be different than the masteries you see in-game.
Chapter 1
This is my build for fiddles. The reason why I get terrify to level 4 is so that you can just one on one anyone by terrifying then using your ult. With lichbane you should be doing plenty of damage after using your skills and terrify will be your chance to escape. Zhonya's ring will save your life plenty of times and void staff will give you great ability power + penetration.
Skil Braekdown
Terrify- Terrify- A great CC and crucial in team fights. This is what may decide a kill or maybe a save. It will stop enemy in the tracks buying time for you to escape.
Drain-Drain is a good skill because if you are fighting an enemy with no channel breakers, late game you should be able to drain enough health for you to take no damage. This is crucial in helping you survive in lanes and you can use it for a quick heal before a battle.
DarkWind- Fiddles Harassing skill. It bounces and silences. How useful is that in a team fight against 5 heroes? At max level it bounces 10 times so it will be able to hit at least each hero twice and silence them, which allows your team to take them down while they are silenced.
Skill Combo- My skill combo in team fights, late game would be, ultimate in, manual attack (because of lich bane) Dark wind, (manual attack) Terrify, life drain and manual attack. They should be dead after that. If not repeat, use zhonya to stall if your waiting for a skill to be back up. Just flash out and if you have max stacks + golem, your terrify and life drain should be back up in time to save your life and you should be able to finish them off.
In 1 vs 1, I would terrify, manual attack, ultimate, manual attack, dark wind, manual attack, FLASH if he runs, activate drain and then attack him once more. if you are about to die, you can pop in your zhonyas to buy some time until your terrify is back up/
Crowstorm-Fiddle's game changing skill. Late game you must not waste this, because this skill can turn things around easily. If your team is getting harassed and running you ult in and you dominate them causing your team to continue fighting. Since your ultimate will damage them like crazy, your team should be able to sweep them up. You can also use it as a finisher. So after using darkwind, your team starts fighting. You stay back and channel the ultimate. Boom you pop in, terrify their carry and take him down easy-peasy. After the main dps is gone your team will just mow down the rest.
Early Game
So you start off with a sapphire crystal and two health potions. In the lane your pretty squishy so don't try to fight too much unless you know you can kill them. You should be able to spam dark wind quite a lot and you should use it to last hit. After you have enough gold you should spam your skills a little bit and then back to get your catalyst. After getting your catalyst you should no longer be as squishy and are able to stay in lane longer.
Mid game
By now you should have a rod of ages and hopefully at least some boots of speed. You should be able to run around ganking people with your ultimate and terrifying them so they are unable to escape. After getting some assists or kills you should be able to afford your mejais. You should start some more major ganking and you should get golem whenever you can. After getting some kills you should be working on your lich bane.
Late Game
By now if you actually finish your lich bane, you should start on your zhonyas. It gives great ap and the active is great if you ultimate and just stasis. If you actually finish your zhonyas which rarely happens you should start making your void staff for the extra penetration. With some stacks you should be able to dominate team fights with your ultimate. If the game persists feel free to purchase elixer of brilliances.

Ace NZ batsman @RossLTaylor to join @CricketPNG for Middle East tour as assistant coach. Big boost for the #Barramundis
— Richard Ewart (@richarde59) March 16, 2017
The Papua New Guinea cricketers are hoping to last the distance during a month-long stint in the United Arab Emirates.
The Barramundis depart Port Moresby today and will play three warm-up matches in Dubai against English county teams, before taking on the UAE in three one day internationals, a four-day Inter-Continental Cup clash and three Twenty20 Internationals.
The first two ODIs will also form part of the World Cricket League Championship.
Head coach Dipak Patel said the extended trip will be a new experience for most of the players.
"It's a month long tour, when we take everything into account with our training and so-forth," he said.
"It's something that the Barramundis in the past haven't handled the long tours very well so we've sort of looked at ways of how we can better ourselves on and off the field.
"It's a good test for us: something that may happen more in the future where we're going to be away for long periods of time, and this is part of the development, being able to handle situations on and off the field."
Dipak Patel said the return of Jack Vare-Kevere and Norman Vanua meant PNG have been able to select a full-strength squad.
"Having Jack back in the fold as a senior player – obviously he's been captain but we've sort of stuck with Assad [Vala] because we just want to make sure Jack was fully fit before we make decisions on that, on the captaincy side," said Patel.
"But we're confident that we've picked the best 14 players that are available to us…there's obviously a few people who are disappointed but that's the nature of when it comes to selecting squads.
"You want to try and make sure that you pick the best 14 and there's always going to be people who miss out and that's pretty healthy from our perspective."

My Super Goof Collection
My tiny collection of Super Goof Comics. I try to get new issues every year from various dealers at HeroesCon and Baltimore Comicon. A good friend of Superstar cartoonist Don Rosa gave me a copy of Super Goof # 1 a couple of years ago in Charlotte :) Now I have 2 copies! I would love to write/draw an issue of Super Goof! Maybe one day?

Distance schooling is catching up quick in India and the number of college students opting for this mode of schooling is on the rise. Online school for college kids also remain uncommon scheduling requests, transfer geography or to continue studying while you name publishing functions, versatile forces and alliances. Yes, IGNOU is a central university AICTE approve so the diploma is nice for public sector job, teaching job and for increased research. Maybe on-line education may appear a curiosity to our technology however it would possibly appear not so strange or uncommon to the up and coming generation, Will probably be a mere extension of what they're used to doing anyway.
In the present day, Jodhpur Nationwide College is an honoured University in the Indian distance education sky and effectively on its means towards success. The college of distance schooling is wealth there, why someone if transferred to education, occupation. You can experience internationally affiliated online courses in India; delve into the sphere of your alternative and acquire important trade inputs from an accomplished workers.

Newcomers to Google SketchUp's V-Ray may be tempted to use the built-in controls for adjusting translucent properties in a surface, but this can be tricky and ineffective. There's a trick you can use instead to bring together V-Ray standard materials to create the illusion of translucency; the only downside is the tendency toward unrealistic associated shadows. Discover the secrets of this method of creating translucent surfaces in this online video.
Although the V-ray Standard Material does have its own translucency controls--ones that are designed to help us to create thin object translucency-- getting them to work and work well can take quite a bit of trial and error. In this video we're going to walk you through a very quick way of faking translucency using a couple of V-ray Standard Materials along with a V- Ray 2 Sided material that we'll wrap those inside of. To begin with, let's open up our V-Ray Material Editor by coming up to the V-Ray toolbar and clicking on the icon.
Now, what we want to do as a first step is essentially create two V-Ray Standard Materials that will serve as the front and the back of our tablecloth object. We're going to paint different colored materials onto each side of the tablecloth. Now we're just using straight colors; you could of course use bitmap files if that is what you want to do. So let's come to our Scene Materials label, right-click, come to Create Material, and create a new standard material. Straightaway of course, we're going to want to rename this, so let's right-click, go to Rename Material, and we'll call this first one TC_front. Once that updates, we can go and create another Standard Material. Of course, we need to be on our Scene Materials Label.
Create Material, Standard. And as you what expect, we will go and rename this one, so right-click, Rename Material, and we'll call this TC_Back. So now we have the two materials that we want to apply to either side of our tablecloth. We could think of it as inside and out materials. We're just calling them front and back because that essentially is how V-Ray will see things; it is applying these materials according to what it thinks is the front and back of the geometry.
Now we need to go and create our V-Ray Two Sided Material. So again, up to the Scene Materials Label, right-click, Create Material, and this time come down to the 2 Sided Option. Now I use the designation V-Ray 2 Sided Material for two reasons: one, because that is what it is called in all the applications that I've used V-Ray in, and secondly, to differentiate it from the SketchUp 2 Sided Material. So let's select that, and again, we want to go and rename it, so let's use the Rename Material Function, and I am just going to call this one Table Cloth.
Now as you can see, this material has a very simple control set. It has two slots named Front and Back, and as you would perhaps suspect, this is where we add our front and back materials. So let's go and select our TC_Front Material for the Front Slot, and let's go and select our TC_Back Material, naturally, for the Back slot. Next, we'll select our Table Cloth geometry and then right-click on our Table Cloth material and apply the material to the selection.
Now initially of course, nothing will change too much in the SketchUp viewport, simply because our two V-Ray Materials, the Front and Back Materials, just have a gray value added to them. So let's go and make a change in here. Let's go to our Front Material and let's set this to a nice obvious red color. That of course, we can see update in the SketchUp Viewport. And let's go to our Back Material and let's add a nice pale blue in there. Now you may wonder why I'm using a red and blue color. These are simply debug colors that I like to use.
They make it very obvious to me what is going on in a scene. You can of course assign finished colors if you want to, or as we mentioned, you can even use bitmap files. Now, if we were to take a render at this moment in time, we would not see any kind of a translucency effect, although it'd be good just to test now, to make sure that our materials are mapping on the front and back of our geometry as we would expect them to, so let's just click on this start render button. And our test render clearly shows that our two materials are mapping exactly as we wanted them to.
Of course, at this moment in time, we're not seeing any kind of a translucency effect. This is because there are still a couple of options that we need to work with. So again, back into our V-Ray Material Editor, we do want to do choose our Table Cloth, or V-Ray Two Sided Material. To get V-Ray to blend between our front and back materials, we need to work with this Color option; this essentially controls the blend between our front and back materials. The default value of black, which is what we have at this moment, doesn't allow any blending between these two materials; they are only allowed to sit on the respective side of the geometry to which they are assigned.
Either of their extreme values, black or white, would not allow any kind of a blend to take place. If we set a white value in our color swatch here, we would just essentially flip our two materials. As you would expect, if we set a mid-gray value in here, we would then get a 50-50 mix of the two materials. However, when it comes to creating the illusion of translucency, we generally want a fairly small amount of color to bleed through the material. So we just want to select our color swatch and in the Value Setting here, I'm going to set a relatively low value of something around about 14, and as you can see, that updates our R, G, and B channels.
With that option set, we can take another test render and see if that has improved our translucency effect. Now, whilst our render shows a definite shift in the colors assigned to our materials, we still couldn't honestly say that we've anything that looks like translucency. To understand why this is so, we need to take a look at the default settings of the V-Ray Standard Material. So let's just open up our Material Editor and select our TC_Front Material. And if we take a look inside the Options rollout, you can see one of the controls checked by default is this Double-Sided option.
This tells V-Ray that both sides of any polygons to which this material is assigned need to be rendered opaque, which of course isn't what we're trying do with our V-Ray Two Sided Material; we're trying to create a blend. So we can either disable the Double-Sided option in each of our V-Ray Standard Materials or we could instead come and select our V-Ray Two Sided Material, our Table Cloth Material, and put a check in these Force One-Sided option. This, as you can imagine, forces each of the V- Ray Standard Materials to act as a one-sided, not a double-sided, material.
Now of course, we should be able to see our translucency effect, so let's again take a test render and see if that is the case. What we get now of course does indeed resemble the passing of sunlight through a thin piece of fabric. We can even see where the folds in the geometry occur. The brilliant thing of course here is that we have two completely separate materials that can have different properties assigned to them. The downside of course is that this is just a material trick; we don't actually get any light passing through this material, so any shadows underneath this table would not be affected at all.
If we wanted to give the impression that the shadows were being lightened by sunlight passing through, we would need to use extra lights in the scene. So there we have it. We've seen how we can use our V-Ray Standard Materials to create thin object translucency. Of course, this doesn't just apply to fabric. We could think of items just as foliage, paper, indeed, any object that would allow direct light to pass through it to some degree. All we have to do is wrap our V-Ray Standard Materials in a Two Sided Material, tweak a couple of options, and we'll have a very nice effect for ourselves.

Back in the 1990s, when the words "cloning" and "stem cells" sounded magically futuristic, any progress at all on either of these biological fronts was greeted with screaming front-page headlines, involving promise or peril or most often both.
Nowadays, thanks in large part to an understanding of how difficult both technologies actually are and partly also to the human-cloning fraud perpetrated by the Korean scientist Hwang Woo Suk in 2004 scientists are a lot more skeptical about the significance of each new claim. That's why there hasn't been so much excitement about a report published online Thursday by the journal Stem Cells. The authors claim to have created cloned human embryos that they believe are capable of producing stem cells the raw material for all of the body's specialized tissues, from heart to muscle to liver and more.
You'd think that would be a huge deal. The scientists, from three private labs in La Jolla, Calif., and Detroit made the clones by a technique called somatic cell nuclear transfer: They took the nuclei from skin cells of adult men, inserted the genetic material into enucleated eggs from female donors, and got the eggs to begin dividing, forming embryos containing stem cells. In principle, replacement tissues grown from those cells would be genetically identical to the men they came from. So they could, in principle, be used to fix failing organs, without any fear of rejection.
To repeat: in principle.
The problem, as with every recent stem-cell advance so far, is that the principle and the practice are still awfully far apart. No one doubts that the scientists created cloned embryos largely because they documented their techniques so carefully and performed confirming tests, but also because they aren't the first to have made clones (British scientists did it two years ago).
But while they're confident they can create stem-cell lines, they haven't done so yet. That reduces the excitement considerably and indeed, Doug Melton of the Harvard Stem Cell Institute told the Associated Press, "I found it difficult to determine what was substantially new."
With dozens of labs around the world working on the problem, the creation of stem-cell lines from embryos like these will happen sooner or later. But even when they do, scientists will have to learn how to coax them into producing useful tissues. They'll also have to make certain that both the cloning and the coaxing don't damage the cells in a way that make them not just ineffective but lethal. That's the danger with a different form of stem-cell production, announced this past November, in which skin cells are simply genetically reprogrammed to revert to stem cells. The reprogramming, however, can trigger cancerous growth so that technique, too, is far from ready for clinical use.
The reprogramming technique at least has the advantage of not requiring the creation and ultimate destruction of embryos, which poses huge ethical problems for some people.
But it's all just hand-waving for now. If a long string of "ifs" can be laid to rest, today's achievement may be seen a real step forward but one that's only visible in hindsight.

In the midst of a dismal economic environment, we are lucky to be staying busy with a number of projects in design and five in construction.
Four of the under-construction projects are in Boulder, Colorado, with another in Chicago. Each is a combination of addition and renovation, with clients engaged and willing to transform their current house into something more.
We are getting started on another project outside of Eldorado Springs in Colorado, and possibly another in South Boulder. Both of these projects are in the early design phases, with each house seeing a combination of renovation and addition to better accommodate growing families. In one case the family has young children growing out of their small rooms, in the other a family is growing as older parents move back in with their adult children.'
As usual, in all of these projects we are projecting into the future. However, the multi-generational work of the homes highlights the transitory nature of the house, allowing a home to be a changeable, flexible space endowed with memories and dreams, not merely a fixed architectural object.
It is also good to see construction activity humming along at each jobsite. Carpenters, masons, electricians, etc. are all busy working. Our drawings become the conduit through which local tradespeople can thrive. Each line on paper, each note, is a task, a livelihood.

Thermal conductivity of tubrostratic carbon nanofiber networks
Composite material systems composed of a matrix of nano materials can achieve combinations of mechanical and thermophysical properties outside the range of traditional systems. While many reports have studied the intrinsic thermal properties of individual carbon fibers, to be useful in applications in which thermal stability is critical, an understanding of heat transport in composite materials is required. In this work, air/ carbon nano fiber networks are studied to elucidate the system parameters influencing thermal transport. Sample thermal properties are measured with varying initial carbon fiber fill fraction, environment pressure, loading pressure, and heat treatment temperature through a bidirectional modification of the 3ω technique. The nanostructures of the individual fibers are characterized with small angle x-ray scattering and Raman spectroscopy providing insight to individual fiber thermal conductivity. Measured thermal conductivity varied from 0.010 W/(m K) to 0.070 W/(m K). An understanding of the intrinsic properties of the individual fibers and the interactions of the two phase composite is used to reconcile low measured thermal conductivities with predictive modeling. This methodology can be more generally applied to a wide range of fiber composite materials and their applications.

Lynbrook High School senior Cheryl Chang was selected for the coveted role as the feature soloist at the upcoming Santa Clara County Honor Band concert on Jan. 12, 2014 at Saratoga High School. Cheryl will play the Chaminade Concertino and will be backed by an orchestra of fifty musicians. FUHSD students comprise more than one third of the 103 members of the Honor Band. When Cheryl learned that she was selected as the feature soloist she was so excited and jubilant that she jumped up and down on her bed.
At the age of seven Cheryl's parents brought her to a local music store and gave her the choice of several different musical instruments to learn. She was drawn to a flute because it was so shiny and has stuck with it ever since. What started as a childhood pursuit has developed into a passion and Cheryl plans to continue to play flute in college and throughout her life. As she says, "When you walk into a practice room you leave everything behind and fully immerse yourself in the music."
Much like the endorphins that kick-in after exercising, Cheryl gets the same kind of feeling when she plays the flute. She plays with the Philharmonic Orchestra of the San Jose Youth Orchestra and Symphony and the Lynbrook High School Wind Ensemble and Symphony Orchestra. Cheryl also participates in the LHS Music for the Community Club and swims for the LHS varsity swim team. Cheryl plans a career in medicine with a possible minor in music.

MIDDLESEX COUNTY — County Prosecutor Bruce J. Kaplan announced Wednesday that police have been setting up sobriety checkpoints as part of an annual program to ensure the safety of high school students during their prom and graduation ceremonies.
The program, now in its 25th year, has been operated successfully by members of the Middlesex County Prosecutor's Fatal Crash Investigations Unit and the county's municipal police departments, who randomly station checkpoints around the county to check for impaired drivers.
While there have been numerous arrests for impaired driving over the years, no students have been killed or injured in crashes or arrested on charges of driving while intoxicated during the prom and graduation season.
The results show that students are getting the message that impaired driving is not only dangerous, but has serious consequences, said Middlesex County Assistant Prosecutor Nicholas Sewitch, who oversees the operation of the sobriety checkpoints.
First-time offenders run the risk of losing their driving privileges for at least seven months and face a variety of fines, insurance surcharges and legal fees that could total as much as $15,000, Sewitch said.
''The purpose of the checkpoints is to remove intoxicated drivers from the street; to educate the public about the dangers of drinking and driving and drugged driving, and to deter people from getting behind the wheel after using alcohol or drugs,'' Sewitch said.
''The overall goal is to promote the safety of the motoring public and to ensure that our prom and graduation celebrants arrive home safely,'' Sewitch said.
''Keeping our children safe is of the utmost importance and I welcome any program that helps us do that,'' said Freeholder Mildred S. Scott, chair of the County's Law and Public Safety Committee. ''I thank the Prosecutor's Office and all the members of the municipal police departments for their shared commitment to the safety of our young residents.''
Police began setting up checkpoints on April 24, 2010, and, since then, have checked motorists in Dunellen, Old Bridge, Highland Park, Carteret, Plainsboro and South Brunswick.
During that time, more than 300 motorists were stopped and given pamphlets advising them of the dangers of impaired driving. In addition, 12 motorists were arrested on DWI charges, two were arrested on pre-existing criminal charges and 225 summonses were issued for a variety of motor vehicle offenses, such as being unlicensed or driving unregistered or uninsured vehicles.
The program, made possible through a $43,000 grant from the New Jersey Division of Highway and Traffic Safety, will run through the end of June.
In 2009, there were 47 fatal crashes that resulted in 51 deaths in Middlesex County. Twenty nine percent of the crashes were alcohol-related, but none involved teenagers traveling to or from their proms or graduations.

Greenheck High Performance Axials, Model RA, are direct driven axials designed for inline air ventilation in commercial, institutional or industrial buildings. The casing design and construction are well suited to indoor or outdoor applications and can be easily installed in ducted or nonducted systems. The RA is designed to significantly reduce operating costs and is the most efficient inline fan manufactured by Greenheck! Additionally, the RA blade design offers inherently lower sound levels than typical axial fans.
Typical Ventilation Applications include: Supply and return fans for air handling equipment, Emergency smoke and heat exhaust, Stairwell pressurization, Parking garage and storage facility exhaust, Industrial process ventilation, Tunnel ventilation
Back to Top
The GreenJet series includes a range of fans to accommodate your needs for parking garage ventilation. The GreenJet provides the right amount of ventilation in the right location at the right time and the right price. To take the guesswork out of selecting the right GreenJet for your application, we're offering preconfigured units for either high performance or high efficiency installations.
Centrifugal inline fans, SQ-M and BSQ-M, are designed for clean air applications including intake, exhaust, return, or make-up air systems where space is a prime consideration. Units feature removable side panels for easy access for inspection and service.
Fire dampers are designed to protect duct penetrations and transfer openings in fire rated walls, barriers, partitions, or floor/ceiling assemblies. Model FD is for use in HVAC systems that shut down in the event of fire, while model DFD is for use in HVAC systems that remain operational in the event of a fire. Upon temperature elevation, the dampers will automatically shut, preventing the spread of flames. 1 ½ and 3 hour rated fire dampers are available, in fusible link temperatures of 74ºC (165ºF), 100ºC (212ºF), and 141ºC (286ºF).
Smoke (SMD) and combination fire and smoke (FSD) dampers are designed for use in HVAC system applications where emergency smoke or fire/smoke control is required. Upon temperature elevation, damper will close automatically to prevent the spread of fire and/or smoke. Dampers include factory installed actuators wired to a single junction box.
Control dampers are designed for use in HVAC systems requiring modulating airflow. Blade design maximizes free area, increasing damper performance. Dampers may be mounted in either direction of airflow which is an advantage when installing with space constraints.

This week we had more APIs added to our API directory than any week ever. Seven of these new APIs include an online dictionary API, an API for text and excel conversion tool, an MD5 online file hash API, an aviation and geo data API, a risk modeling API, and a hotel shopping API and a rental car shopping API. Below are more details on each of these new APIs.
Dictionary Definitions API: The Dictionary Definitions API from STANDS4 uses REST calls to enable you to get dictionary definition information in XML format for a given word.
Elev.at API: Elev.at is a web API that converts legacy/proprietary files such as Text (CSV, tab delimited) and XLS (Excel) into XML in real-time so that it can be consumed by Internet, mobile, and desktop apps. The source file must be reachable via a URL, or must reside within a ZIP file that is reachable via a URL. As the creators note: "Elev.at was created out of the need to consume the data from government sites and convert it into a usable format."
File MD5 API: File MD5 API allows you to obtain the MD5 hash/checksum of any online file regardless of its type and without the need to download the actual file.
Flig.ht Data API: Flig.ht's online aviation data guide and aviation API is compiled from the FAA's data publications and contains aviation and geo data useful for a wide range of applications, but with an emphasis on aviation.
The service is currently in BETA and Flig.ht Data will be previewing a free RESTful API in the near future.
freerisk API: Freerisk is a project with the goal of making freely available the data, algorithms and tools necessary to perform risk modeling. This RESTful API allows users to create risk metrics. It acts as a credit risk calculator composed of a set of web calls and responses are formatted in JSON.
According to the developers, as it currently exists, the API is a prototype that's largely undocumented.
Hotwire Hotel Shopping API: The Hotel Shopping API delivers data describing hotel shopping results similar to those that can be obtained when shopping for hotel rates on Hotwire.com. Each result returned includes a URL that can be used to view additional details and complete a purchase on Hotwire.com.
Hotwire Rental Car Shopping API: The Rental Car Shopping API delivers data describing rental car shopping results similar to those that can be obtained when shopping for rental car rates on Hotwire.com. Each result returned includes a URL that can be used to view additional details and complete a purchase on Hotwire.com.

It's the prime wedding season in the US and without a doubt, dozens or even hundreds of readers have attended a wedding in which tiny humans are compelled to participate in wedding ceremonies as ringbearers and flower girls.
I really dislike tiny ringbearers and flower girls.
Don't get me wrong. I adore children. I have three of my own and can't wait for grandchildren. But when it comes to a wedding ceremony, tiny children under the age of 5 should not be involved at all. Zip. Nada. Keep them out of the ceremony.
1. In my experiences, children under 5 are rarely asked if they want this "honor". They are nearly always compelled to participate. Even if they were asked, they have no idea what they are agreeing to do because their limited life experiences doesn't include marching down an aisle in front of hundreds of people, many whom look like strangers. I have witnessed adults have panic attacks just before processing yet for some reason people think a toddler can handle this same pressure.
2. Children are not props. In 25 years of wedding planning, I can't recall a single instance where a flower girl or ringbearer was given any input into what they were wearing. Their "costume" was provided for them and they are expected to wear it. As alleged members of the wedding party, they are afforded the least respect as to whether they want to do this and what they will wear. When brides treat adult attendants in this manner, we refer to them as Bridezillas. If you had a "mini me" toddler flower girl, shame on you. You used her as a prop to flatter your ego.
Years ago one of my brides wanted to include two twin 18-month nieces in her processional. They were to be wheeled into the ceremony in a decorated wagon. "Who is being served by you doing this?", I asked the bride. "I doubt, at 18 months old, that the girls are going to find this fun so it's not serving them. Their mother is the Matron of Honor and she may be very distracted if they see her and cry for her so she's not going to be served by this. Your guests? I think they'll survive not having that visual memory." My bride decided to not include the babies since it was really not in the babies' or mother's best interest to attempt this. The wedding went off flawless but more importantly, the babies and mom were stress-free and happy.
3. I know there are those of you reading this at the moment and feeling your indignation rise like mercury in a Florida thermometer because you had tiny humans in your wedding. I'm sure there are many, many Youtube videos of adorable flower girls and ringbearers who loved every minute of the limelight. They "steal the show". Well, therein lies the problem. A wedding ceremony is not a "show" and toddler attendants can completely distract the emphasis of the ceremony from solemn vow making to entertaining guests with a version of "Wedding Romper Room".
In the video below, the toddler Maia is acting predictably for a toddler and she's not happy about the whole situation. Her older brother clearly is old enough to know what he's getting into and he's enjoying himself. Maia should have never been involved in the wedding, however, because she's simply too young to understand what she is doing or the significance of the event.
In the first part of this next video, the "baby" (and yes, he is referred to that by someone) should never have been expected to walk down the aisle like this. Goodness gracious, he looks adorable in that tiny tuxedo but sending him alone down that aisle was a recipe for failure. At the very least, his father or mother should have processed with him. In the second half, the ringbearer was clearly not well rehearsed as to what was happening with the flower girl's petals.
I can translate the baby gibberish this infant is spewing. "Why? Why? Why did you put me in this stiff dress and this headache inducing headband? I was just a prop in your grandiose affair! Stupid Bridezilla!"
You tell them, Maggie!

PENICILLIN is best described as a hard rock band, although they also draw influences from genres such as metal and ska. They started as a visual kei group but, like many others from the scene, their looks became less extreme over time. Their songs typically range from upbeat rock to ballads, and one of the key points of their sound is singer HAKUEI's unique voice and emotional —almost theatrical — delivery.

Henslow's Sparrow
Ammodramus Henslowii
Henslow's sparrow is listed as threatened or endangered in 12 states.
Loss of Habitat Threatening Henslow's Sparrow
A grassland species, Henslow's sparrow historically bred in the tallgrass prairies of the Great Plains. It now nests mostly in neglected grassy fields, pastures and meadows. There are two distinct subspecies of the sparrow: eastern and western. The western sparrow inhabits the rough parallelogram described by eastern South Dakota, southern Ontario, central Kansas and central West Virginia. The eastern variety can be found along the American east coast from northern New York to central North Carolina. A possible third subspecies once resided in coastal Texas, but is considered extinct.
A shy bird, the Henslow's sparrow will usually flee interlopers on foot, rather than flying away. However it is social within its species, breeding in loose colonies, building nests at the base of grass clumps and feeding on insects and seeds. The sparrow requires very specific breeding habitat: dense grass with standing dead vegetation and little to no woody vegetation.
It is the loss of this habitat that has primarily contributed to the species' decline. Changes in agricultural practice, especially in the Midwest, have converted fields once used for grazing and hay to specialized crop fields unsuitable for the sparrow. Consequently, it has been on the National Audubon Blue List since 1974 and is listed as Endangered or Threatened in 12 states.

Dominik Mersch Gallery Award recipient announced
Sydney College of the Arts' Master of Fine Arts candidate, Yvette Hamilton, has been awarded the 2015 Dominik Mersch Gallery (DMG) Award announced at the opening of the postgraduate show on 3 December. The annual award provides an exhibition space in the Dominik Mersch Gallery for an artist selected from SCA's end of year postgrad show.
Yvette Hamilton is an Australian artist working in photomedia, video and installation. Her interdisciplinary practice creates work that explores both physical and virtual space through the convention and framework of portraiture. This exploration acts as a launching platform to explore the enmeshed concepts of place and being-in-the world.
"Winning the Dominik Mersch Gallery Award is a significant step in gaining greater exposure for my art practice. While I have exhibited widely in many artist-run initiatives, an opportunity to exhibit at the Dominik Mersch Gallery enables a step into the professional, commercial gallery context.
"This introduction helps to widen my profile and audience, and also act as a great learning experience that will enrich my practice and guide my future direction. Exhibiting my work at a gallery the calibre of Dominik Mersch, who represent a number of artists whose work I admire, is a great achievement in my practice to date," said Yvette Hamilton.
Three works by the artist: 'Are You There' (2014), 'Here/There' (2014) and 'Hello' (2014) are currently exhibited in the SCA 2014 Postgraduate Degree Show that runs in SCA Galleries until 10 December.

|Cyber Security and Real-Life Risks of Pokemon GO
Most probably than not, you already heard or even playing Pokémon Go, the most popular mobile application today that took the world by storm. This game is unlike any other because it uses a technology known as augmented reality, wherein the game play is affected by both the smartphone's digital space and the real world.
Because of its popularity, cyber criminals are looking to take advantage of it in a number of ways. Thus, here are the risks that this game can bring.
Cyber Security Risks
Trojanized Versions:
Just several days after the Pokémon Go App was officially hit the market, researchers from Proofpoint discovered different Trojanized .apk version of the app uploaded in different sites. And we all know that Trojanized file always aims to bring hard to system, therefore, it is highly recommended to download the app only from trusted sources, that is the Google Play Store and the Apple App Store.
Online Scams:
Like any other popular games, people are looking for tips, tricks, even cheats and hacks of the game all over the net. This kind of behavior is what scammers take advantage of, they create fly by night websites and apps, which allegedly offers power-ups and Pokecoints in exchange for downloading files/apps, visiting questionable websites or filling out surveys that could bring potential harm to your gadgets. But that does not stop there, as they usually asks your personal information before they "give the reward", which put you more at risk in the form identity theft.
See Also: Symantec Internet Security Threat Report
Privacy Risks:
Many people, including us are guilty of just checking the box or pressing OK when asked to review app permission as well as agreeing on the app privacy policy and terms of service. Though, legal or trusted apps do not usually pose risks or threats, it is still important to take a look at these documents and evaluate them in order to see what the apps wants to access and what it plans to do with your information it collects. For Pokemon GO, below are the documents you might want to check:
Pokémon GO Terms of Service: https://www.nianticlabs.com/terms/pokemongo/en
Pokémon GO Trainer guidelines: https://support.pokemongo.nianticlabs.com/hc/en-us/articles/221993967
Pokémon GO Privacy Policy: https://www.nianticlabs.com/privacy/pokemongo/en
Real World Risks
Along with cyber security and privacy, real world risk is equal, if not more important factor to look at. There are already reports wherein people are so engrossed in the game, that they failed to be aware of their surroundings, which in turn caused them bodily harm and physical injuries. Thus, due diligence must always be observed whenever or wherever you are playing. And always remind yourself that playing while driving is literally a big NO. Moreover, be mindful of robbers, snatchers and other similar street thugs as well as the sign that says "private property, trespassers will be shot".

… continuing with the Fuji X-T1 test shots, I wanted to sing praises of these tires. Made in Japan by Panaracer, the Jack Brown "Blue" label 33.3 tires have been very good to me. I've yet to flat on them and even examining the tread as I was shooting this photo, I found a number of thorns and copper wire pieces stuck in its hardy casing.
If I had to guess how many miles I've put on them, it'd be over 1000. Most of which are from around town trips.
Sure, the rolling resistance is higher than other comparable offerings – including the Jack Brown "Green" – but for an around town / touring machine, I'd rather have a reliable tire than one that flats on thorns or road debris.
Pick up the Jack Brown Blue tires at Rivendell for $63 /each or $126 for a pair.
For those wondering about the camera and lens, this is my Zeiss 28mm f2.8 on the X-T1 shot wide open.

Copper annealing is a type of heat treatment. Thus copper can be made either softer, or firmer. Copper hardening is achieved upon slow cooling in the air, and copper acquires softness upon fast cooling in water. According to the technological process, copper is heated to the necessary temperature, kept for certain time and then quickly cooled in water. As a result, return processes (recovery of metal), recrystallization are performed.
The purposes of annealing are abating for the increase of machinability, structure improvement and achievement of better metal uniformity, stress relief.More details →
