Expositions on the Book of Psalms.: Psalm CXXX
Psalm CXXX. 5566
1. "Out of the deep have I called unto Thee, O Lord: Lord, hear my voice" (Psa. 130.1). Jonas cried from the deep; from the whales belly. 5567 He was not only beneath the waves, but also in the entrails of the beast; nevertheless, those waves and that body prevented not his prayer from reaching God, and the beasts belly could not contain the voice of his prayer. It penetrated all things, it burst through all things, it reached the ears of God: if indeed we ought to say that, bursting through all things, it reached the ears of God, since the ears of God were in the heart of him who prayed. For where hath not he God present, whose voice is faithful? Nevertheless, we also ought to understand from what deep we cry unto the Lord. For this mortal life is our deep. Whoever hath understood himself to be in the deep, crieth out, groaneth, sigheth, until he be delivered from the deep, and come unto Him who sitteth above all the deeps.…For they are very deep in the deep, who do not even cry from the deep. The Scripture saith, "When the wicked hath reached the depth of evils, he despiseth." 5568 Now consider, brethren, what sort of deep that is, where God is despised. When each man seeth himself overwhelmed with daily sins, pressed down by heaps and weights, so to speak, of iniquities: if it be said unto him, Pray unto God, he laughs. In what manner? He first saith, If crimes were displeasing unto God, should I live? If God regarded human affairs, considering the great crimes which I have committed, should I not only live, but be prosperous? For this is wont to happen to those who are far in the deep, and are prosperous in their iniquities: and they are the more plunged in the deep, in proportion as they seem to be more happy; for a deceitful happiness is itself a greater unhappiness.…
2. "Lord, hear my voice. O let Thine ears consider well the voice of my complaint" (Psa. 130.2). Whence doth he cry? From the deep. Who is it then who crieth? A sinner. And with what hope doth he cry? Because He who came to absolve from sins, gave hope even to the sinner down in the deep. What therefore followeth after these words: "If Thou, Lord, wilt be extreme to mark what is amiss, O Lord, who may abide it?" (Psa. 130.3). So, he hath disclosed from what deep he cried out. For he crieth beneath the weights and billows of his iniquities.…He said not, I may not abide it: but, "who may abide it?" For he saw that nigh the whole of human life on every side was ever bayed at by its sins, that all consciences were accused by their thoughts, that a clean heart trusting in its own righteousness could not be found.
3. But wherefore is there hope? "For there is propitiation with Thee" (Psa. 130.4). And what is this propitiation, except sacrifice? And what is sacrifice, save that which hath been offered for us? The pouring forth of innocent blood blotted out all the sins of the guilty: so great a price paid down redeemed all captives from the hand of the enemy who captured them. "With Thee," then, "there is propitiation." For if there were not mercy with Thee, if Thou chosest to be Judge only, and didst refuse to be merciful, Thou wouldest mark all our iniquities, and search after them. Who could abide this? Who could stand before Thee, and say, I am innocent? Who could stand in Thy judgment? There is therefore one hope: "for the sake of Thy law have I borne Thee, O Lord." What law? That which made men guilty. For a "law, holy, just, and good," 5569 was given to the Jews; but its effect was to make them guilty. A law was not given that could give life, 5570 but which might show his sins to the sinner. For the sinner had forgotten himself, and saw not himself; the law was given him, that he might see himself. The law made him guilty, the Lawgiver freed him: for the Lawgiver is the Supreme Power. 5571 …There is therefore a law of the mercy of God, a law of the propitiation of God. 5572 The one was a law of fear, the other is a law of love. The law of love giveth forgiveness to sins, blotteth out the past, warneth concerning the future; forsaketh not its companion by the way, becometh a companion to him whom it leadeth on the way. But it is needful to agree with the adversary, whilst thou art with him in the way. 5573 For the Word of God is thine adversary, as long as thou dost not agree with it. But thou agreest, when it has begun to be thy delight to do what Gods Word commandeth. Then he who was thine adversary becometh thy friend: so, when the way is finished, there will be none to deliver thee to the Judge. Therefore, "For the sake of Thy law I have waited for Thee, O Lord," because thou hast condescended to bring in a law of mercy, to forgive me all my sins, to give me for the future warnings that I may not offend.…"For the p. 614 sake," therefore, "of" this "law I have waited for Thee, O Lord." I have waited until Thou mayest come and free me from all need, for in my very need Thou hast not forsaken the law of mercy.…"My soul hath waited for Thy word."…
4. We therefore trust without fear on the word of Him who cannot deceive. "My soul hath trusted in the Lord, from the morning watch even unto night" (Psa. 130.5). This morning watch is the end of night. We must therefore understand it so that we may not suppose we are to trust in the Lord for one day only. What do you conceive to be the sense, then, brethren? The words mean this: that the Lord, through whom our sins have been remitted, arose from the dead at the morning watch, so that we may hope that what went before in the Lord will take place in us. For our sins have been already forgiven: but we have not yet risen again: if we have not risen again, not as yet hath that taken place in us which went before in our Head. What went before in our Head? Because the flesh of that Head rose again; did the Spirit of that Head die? What had died in Him, rose again. Now He arose on the third day; and the Lord as it were thus speaketh to us: What ye have seen in Me, hope for in yourselves; that is, because I have risen from the dead, ye also shall rise again.
5. But there are who say, Behold, the Lord hath risen again; but must I hope on that account that I also may rise again? Certainly, on that account: for the Lord rose again in that which He assumed from thee. For He would not rise again, save He had died; and He could not have died, except He bore the flesh. What did the Lord assume from thee? The flesh. What was He that came Himself? The Word of God, who was before all things, through whom all things were made. But that He might receive something from thee, "The Word became flesh, and dwelt among us." 5574 He received from thee, what He might offer for thee; as the priest receiveth from thee, what he may offer for thee, when thou wishest to appease God for thy sins. It hath already been done, it hath been done thus. Our Priest received from us what He might offer for us: for He received flesh from us, in the flesh itself He was made a victim, He was made a holocaust, He was made a sacrifice. In the Passion He was made a sacrifice; in the Resurrection He renewed that which was slain, and offered it as His first-fruits unto God, and saith unto thee, All that is thine is now consecrated: since such first-fruits have been offered unto God from thee; hope therefore that that will take place in thyself which went before in thy first-fruits.
6. Since He then rose with the morning watch, our soul began to hope from hence: and how far? "Even unto night;" until we die; for all our carnal death is as it were sleep.…
7. And he returns to this, "From the morning watch let Israel hope in the Lord." Not only "let Israel hope," but "from the morning watch let Israel hope." Do I then blame the hope of the world, when it is placed in the Lord? No; but there is another hope belonging to Israel. Let not Israel hope for riches as his highest good, not for health of body, not for abundance of earthly things: he will indeed have to suffer tribulation here, if it should be his lot to suffer any troubles for the sake of the truth.…
8. "For with the Lord there is mercy, and with Him is plenteous redemption" (Psa. 130.7). Admirable! This could not have been better said in its own place, on account of the words, "From the morning watch." Wherefore? Because the Lord rose again from the morning watch; and the body ought to hope for that which went before in the Head. But, lest this thought should be suggested: The Head might rise again, because It was not weighed down with sins, there was no sin in Him; what shall we do? Shall we hope for such a resurrection, as went before in the Lord, whilst we are weighed down by our sins? But see what followeth: "And He shall redeem Israel from all his sins" (Psa. 130.8). Though therefore he was weighed down with his sins, the mercy of God is present to him. For this reason, He went before without sin, that He may blot out the sins of those that follow Him. Trust not in yourselves, but trust from the morning watch.…

"What are you doing?" Wayne asked.
Terry jerked up in his seat in front of the Batcomputer. Several decades past his prime and he still knows how to sneak around unnoticed, he thought. "Just surfing around the Net," he answered.
Wayne grumbled. "The Batcomputer shouldn't be used for 'just surfing around'," he said.
Terry got out of the chair and let Wayne sit down. "How did the meeting with the stockholders go?" Terry asked.
More grumbling. "I think I'm losing my touch," Wayne commented.
Terry shrugged. "No one can stay young forever," he offered.
Wayne made more low unintelligible noises. He's really in a bad mood tonight, Terry thought. He examined Wayne's face, as he sometimes did. An age's worth of wrinkles creased his face. Slicked back white hair, now slightly unkempt, did more to strengthen the feeling of oldness about the man. However, his eyes still held a sense of vitality to them, and his voice was as sharp as ever. Perhaps it was what could be expected from a life of being Batman. Terry wondered if he'd look the same when he grew old.
But it was too early to think of old age. He still had a full life ahead of him. Now Bruce, on the other hand...
He had insisted on driving himself this evening. Terry wasn't sure if that was to impress the stockholders or to reassure himself that he wasn't too old. Sometimes it seemed like Wayne felt his age and needed to do something to prove that he was still useful.
Wayne had finally looked up at what Terry was doing on the Net. "What is this?" he asked.
"I stumbled across it," Terry replied.
Wayne clicked around the web site. It was completely devoted to the old Batman. There were a few slightly blurred photos of him, records of Batman sightings, a listing of his foes, as well as links to other similar sites.
"You would not believe the number of Batman sites I found," Terry said. "One claimed to have a complete listing of all the weapons and gadgets you used. You've got quite the following."
"Shouldn't you start patrolling soon?" Wayne asked.
Terry took the hint. He knew Wayne's usual response when he didn't want to talk about something. Leaving to don the batsuit, he took a quick glance back and saw Wayne still looking at the Batman site.
It was a pretty dull night. A couple robberies, a suicide bomber, a cat up a tree, but nothing exciting or challenging. Nights like this sometimes made Terry long for some supervillain to show up.
There was just one thing that was bothering him. He turned away from where he had left the bank robbers tied up. There it was again! A dark shadow was watching him from a rooftop across the street. He had seen it several times tonight, but it would always back out of sight before he could get a good look at it.
This time, the shadow was illuminated against the moon. Terry's breath caught as it watched him for a couple more seconds and slipped out of view. Had he seen it correctly?
It had ears just like the old batsuit!
Terry decided that this was enough. He was going to find out why this shadow was following him. He activated his boot-thrusters and soared up to the rooftop.
The person was running away across the building. Terry quickly caught up, grabbed the man by the shoulder, and turned him around. Then he gasped in astonishment as he saw the man clearly in the moonlight.
He was dressed exactly as the old Batman! His face was concealed by the pointy-eared cowl. The long black cape flowed behind him. On his chest was the black bat symbol. Around his waist was the identical tool belt. In every aspect, he looked exactly like Bruce Wayne dressed in his days!
"Don't touch me, fraud," the man ordered. To emphasize the point, he swung his fist and caught Terry right in the mouth.
Terry backed off, his mind reeling. The man had sounded exactly like the old Batman, too! What was going on here?
"See you soon," the Batman look-alike said, still sounding eerily familiar. Then he pulled a batrope from his belt and swung out of sight, leaving a very confused Terry standing on the rooftop.
"I'm telling you, he was exactly like the old Batman!" Terry whispered excitedly, leaning over his lunch tray.
Max shook her head. "But how? Is it a robot clone or something?"
"We tested the batsuit recording," Terry answered. "He's a human. And the voice ID match was identical to Wayne's." He gave a little laugh. "He must have performed a thousand tests last night trying to figure out who it was. I think this really upset him."
"If you found a person who looked just like you, you'd be upset, too," Max said. "Do you suppose it's a clone?"
Terry thoughtful chewed his food. "A forty-some-year-younger clone?"
"They could have taken the cells back when Batman was in his prime and then waited for the right technology to come along," Max offered.
Terry frowned. It was possible. But something didn't seem quite right. Why would anyone wait that long? And what would somebody have to gain by making a clone of the old Batman?
That night, the bat signal was on.
"I thought the police put that in storage," Terry said as he drove the Batmobile towards the source of the signal.
"They did," Wayne responded. "Somebody broke in and stole it."
"So, this is probably a trap," Terry said.
"Undoubtedly," Wayne answered.
"Any idea what I'm going to go up against?" Terry asked.
"Sometimes the best way to find out who's behind a trap is to jump right into it," Wayne said. "Just be careful."
Terry circled around the Spencer Building. He could see the bat signal sitting on top of it. He brought the Batmobile down and got out.
"This signal used to call the great protector of the city to work," the voice exactly like Wayne's said. "But now it only draws the scum."
Terry couldn't get a fix on where the voice was coming from. I've got to keep him talking, he thought. "I protect the city as well," he said.
"But under the name of a dead man!" the voice answered.
"He's not dead!" Terry said in bewilderment.
"The real Batman has come and gone," the voice said. "He is no more."
"You're wrong," Terry said. "He's-"
"I am wrong?" the voice said incredulously. "How can I be wrong? Do you know how much time I spent studying him? How long I've toiled and labored to understand him? I bet you never did any research at all. What did you think, that you could just put on the suit and, voila, you're Batman? There's more to it than that!"
This guy's a maniac, Terry thought. He's a genuine nutcase out on some personal vendetta. But why does he sound exactly like Bruce?
By now, Terry knew where the voice was coming from. He edged his way towards the stairs. He got a batarang ready and jumped behind them. To his surprise, he saw no one there. Instead, he bent down and picked up a speaker.
He heard footsteps behind him and threw the batarang. The Batman look-alike dodged and pushed Terry to the ground. He held Terry's arms down and glared into his face. "I seek to defend the honor of an idol of mine," he growled.
"That's nice," Terry replied. He kicked up and flung the look-alike off him. They both leapt to their feet and stared at the other.
"Who are you?" Terry asked.
"I am Batman come back from the grave," the look-alike said. "I will avenge the wrongs you have caused him."
The look-alike threw a batarang--old style, Terry realized--but Terry was able to easily dodge. He fired a batrope and swiftly tied the look-alike up. But he just smiled, took a pocket knife from his glove, and cut the rope.
"It'll take more than that to defeat the legendary Batman," the look-alike said.
"Good thing I've got more," Terry replied. He fired his boot-thrusters and launched at the look-alike. But the man jumped up at the last moment and kicked down hard, driving Terry into the roof.
Terry groaned and turned over. The look-alike grabbed his throat, pulled him up, and gave him a few punches. Terry pulled out a flash-bomb and blinded the look-alike. He let go of Terry and stumbled back, allowing Terry to get in a few hits of his own.
The Batman look-alike regained his vision soon enough to block the next couple of punches and swiftly kick Terry in the side. As Terry reacted to the blow, the look-alike punched upwards and caught Terry right under the chin. Terry slumped to the ground in a daze.
"I've been examining your fighting style," the look-alike said. "The computer program I wrote showed all of your weaknesses."
Terry said nothing, but instead activated his camouflage. He admired the old Batman's look of surprise to see him disappear.
"So," the look-alike said as Terry moved unseen behind him, "you're going to run away. The real Batman would never have done that!"
"You don't know the real Batman," Terry said, and pulled off the old Batman's mask.
The look-alike cried out and swung his fist behind him, catching Terry in the side of the head. He whacked into the stairway building, his camouflage turning off. The look-alike moved quickly to replace his mask, but Terry was able to get a quick glance of the look-alike's red hair.
Red hair?
He didn't have much time to think. The old Batman had recovered and was heading swiftly towards him. Terry launched up, wings spread wide, and got a batarang right in the face. It made him pause long enough for the look-alike to jump up and grab onto his legs.
Terry struggled to pull away, but the look-alike held on tight. He reached down to knock the old Batman away, but he grabbed Terry's arm and brought up his other arm with tranquilizer gun in hand. Terry had little time to react as the gun pierced his suit and administered its contents.
The world grew darker and drifted away. Terry crashed to the ground, the old Batman landing softly a short distance away. The last thing Terry saw before blacking out was the Batman look-alike slowly approaching.
Consciousness returned slowly. Terry groaned and looked around. He was still on top of the Spencer Building. There was no sign of the Batman look-alike. He looked at his wrist chronometer and saw that he had been out a couple hours. What had happened? Why did the look-alike leave?
Terry hopped back in the Batmobile. It was right where he'd left it, and a brief diagnostics check showed that nothing was wrong with it. The look-alike knocks me out and then leaves, Terry thought, doing no damage whatsoever. Where was the logic behind that?
But then again, the look-alike didn't seem like the most logical person. Still, Terry couldn't help feeling like he'd missed something.
The day in school went by slowly. Terry couldn't concentrate on his work. The Batman look-alike was occupying his thoughts. He talked to Max about it during lunch, but she couldn't think of an explanation.
After school, his mother told him that she was having an out of town meeting that night and he'd have to watch Matt until she got back. She said she was sorry to interfere with his after-school job with Mr. Wayne, but she had just found out about this meeting today and hadn't been able to get a sitter on such short notice. Therefore, Terry had been stuck at home until almost midnight.
Terry impatiently waited for the bus to arrive at the stop. He had lost a lot of time tonight that could have been used tracking down this Batman look-alike. He ran up the road to Wayne Manor and rushed through the door.
"Sorry I'm late," he called. "I had to babysit my brother." He quickly moved from room to room, making his way to the Batcave. "The Batman look-alike problem has been bugging me all day. Have there been any new leads?"
There was no answer. The house was strangely quiet. In fact, it was too quiet. Terry froze when he realized that he hadn't heard Ace. The dog usually barked his head off when someone arrived. But Terry hadn't heard a sound.
Something was wrong here.
Terry rushed to the Batcave. The clock door was untouched, so no one had broken into the Batcave. Or had they? Terry leapt down the steps and took a quick survey of the room. He saw no sign of Wayne and was about to leave when he spotted a small dark shape lying next to the Batcomputer. He rushed over and saw Ace, muzzled and tied up on the floor.
Terry quickly freed the dog. He whimpered and got to his feet. "Where's Bruce, boy?" Terry asked. "Where is he?"
The dog looked towards the Batmobile access tunnel and barked. Terry walked out to the sea, but he found nothing. "Wayne!" he called, but there was no answer.
A quick search of the house revealed nothing. Terry looked in every room, every closet, anywhere that he could think the old man might be. But he came up with nothing.
Bruce Wayne was gone.

In and Out
1. If you enjoy reading Hallmark cards, but feel embarrassed to mention it, you may be in. If you tell everyone how much you love Hallmark cards, then you are maybe out.
2. If, when asked for your favourite poem, you reply with a song lyric, you are in.
3. If you desire your poems to be 'accessible' above all other considerations, then you might be in. If you then don't succeed in being accessible, you are definitely in.
4. If you can't understand your own poems, but people you don't know seem to like them, you might well be out. If you start then believing your poems mean what these people say, you're in danger of becoming in.
5. If your poems only get laughs when you perform them, you are in.
6. If you think reviewers are the enemy, you may think of yourself as anti-establishment and therefore out. In fact, you want only to be loved and are therefore in.
7. If you think strong drink tastes of meteorite, then you are out, even if a few people occasionally mistake you for being in.
8. If you have written a poem concerning a centipede which brushes your teeth using 100 dishwater tabs, then:
a) if it ends with a burst of light, water, death, or wind, you are in
b) if it ends in any other way, you might be out.
9. If you describe yourself as 'avant-garde' but are unable to write a metrical, rhymed sonnet inside 40 minutes, you are definitely in.
10. If you can write in metre and know the rules of scansion inside out, but a) regard TS Eliot as overrated, or b) hear voices in your head whispering ti-tum ti-tum ti-tum ti-tum ti-tum whenever you read the ingredients on cereal packets, you are in.
11. If you can write a 14-poem sonnet sequence, traditional or innovative, but can't knock together an IKEA wardrobe from scratch, you are in.
12. If you think your poems' forms or layouts determine whether you are in or out, then you are in.
13. If you think of yourself as adrift, a lone, unique voice unheard above a cacophony of poetic racket, then the louder and shriller your voice sounds when you think this, the more in you are.
14. If people who describe themselves as out describe you as in, then you are possibly out and they are probably in. If people who believe themselves to be in describe you as out, they are probably right.
15. If you think you are out because publishers have rejected your poems and book manuscripts, then you are either in or you are both a genius and out.
16. If you have never submitted a poem anywhere and don't want anyone to read your poems, not even a tiny little bit, then you are out. But if you begin shouting about that from the rooftops, then you are in again.
17. If your poems resemble therapy sessions from new age gurus, then you're in in in.
18. If you send nasty letters to editors of literary magazines who have rejected your work, then you desperately want to be in, and are out for all the wrong reasons.
19. If you enjoy poetry readings, you may be in or out. If you habitually buy the reader's book, you might well be in, unless you often then read it from cover to cover, in which case you could be out. If you always tell them what you really think of it, you're out, for certain.
20. If you have never as much as thought of writing a poem, then you are out and may even be happy about that.

Well, I guess I am "in"! I love to stand in Hallmark aisles and read the cards and smile. I often wonder what people think as they pass and see me so enjoying myself. So, if you are "in" as well, you might enjoy my poetry blog at http://www.silverplanet.com/blog/silver-sage.

Rob, as my dear uncle said to me all those years ago, I think you must be either a genius or crazy.
We never worked out the answer first time round either. I'll go do your quiz again. Somehow I think I'm probably out though.

After that, who knows? No. 16 is the awkward one, no? Do I protest too much? Perhaps I should be with Wittgenstein on this one and just stay very, very quiet from now on...

What about if you can write a sonnet sequence and put together an Ikea wardrobe...? Better still, write a 14 sonnet sequence about putting the Ikea wardrobe together - but I'm sure that's been done before...

"11. If you can write a 14-poem sonnet sequence, traditional or innovative, but can't knock together an IKEA wardrobe from scratch, you are in."
I can't do either of these things.

David, you're out. That'll be two pantoums, written in pantaloons.
Andy, your pic is great too.
I can actually write sonnets AND put together ikea furniture - I have put together more of it than I care to remember, but my thumbs were sore and cracked for weeks.
But where's Rob?? By the way, I saw this post also linked in India.

I've been out, but I'm just in, and am about to go out again. My life is about as confusing as most of yours seem to be. Your questions about being in and out are too hard for me to answer. My rules are obviously not clear enough, even for me.
Katy, thanks for linking. And the Indian link, thanks too. It's from spaniardintheworks.blogspot.com, which looks like quite a good blog.

I am so confused. Do I want to be in? out? Is it possible to be both in *and* out, standing in the vestibule between the two? Am I in if I use words like vestibule? What if I confuse the words "vestibule" and "vertebrae"? "Elevator" and "escalator"?
I can't put IKEA furniture together. I guess that means, in or out, I am hosed.

I'm confused. Also ambivalent.
Also ambiguous.
Not in; not out. Just out there.

What a fun list. You reminded me of the joke about the two skunks. (Called In and Out. When In was out, Out was in and when Out was in, In was Out. One day when Out was in he needed to find In in a hurry and went out looking for him. How did he find him? Instinct) :)
My favourite, by the way, was point 4.

Well, this is it, it's not only hard to know whether one is in or out, but whether it's more desirable to be in one state or the other. And it's not easy to know what there is to be in or out of in any case. So I'm confident that ambivalence and skunks hold part of the answer.

Hi Everyone
I really enjoyed making this 30x30 cm canvas, for the December- Christmas themed challenge on The Artistic Stampers Creative team blog. Please pop over, join in, and I hope you are inspired by all our pieces.
I started by reusing an old canvas, so I painted the whole canvas with black acrylic paint. Once that was dry I stamped using white dylusions paint and the Christmas strippers stamp, unfortunately you can not really see this stamp once the canvas is finished. I then started to scrape paint over the canvas with an old credit card. I used lots of different dylusions paints so had to ensure I allowed the paint to dry in-between the layers so the individual colours could be seen and they did not get to muddy.
Over this I sponged fresh lime through the chevron mask, and squeezed orange through the large dot mask.
Once that was completely dry I stamped over the canvas with a snowflake stamp, and then pierced holes through the canvas in the snowflake centres. I glued grommets/ eyelets in place through the holes.
I went over the snowflakes with a black pen and added some white in place with a paint pen. once it was all dry I pushed some light through the hole made and glued them in place.

[edit section] Pronoun/Antecedent Agreement
Now how about pronoun/antecedent agreement? Like subject/verb agreement questions, these are also easier in nature and quite easy to spot. The trick is, like with subject/verb questions, to spot the pronoun and the antecedent. What is a pronoun? A word like me, you, he, him, her, they, and so forth. In other words, a pronoun is a general noun that replaces a specific noun, called the antecedent. For example:
Terry was mad because he didn't make the team.
In the above sentence, "he" is the general noun (pronoun) and "Terry" is the specific noun (antecedent). The College Board will throw in a few simplistic pronoun/antecedent questions, like:
Terry was mad because him didn't make the team.
Obviously, "him" is the incorrect word here. You know that because it just doesn't "sound" right. But what is the reason for this grammar rule?
Actually, "he" and "him" are two different types of pronouns. "He" is a subjective pronoun, while "him" is an objective pronoun. What this means is that "he" is a pronoun that replaces the subject of the sentence while "him" replaces a direct or indirect object in the sentence. Here is a rundown of objective and subjective pronouns:
- Objective: me, you, him, her, it, us, them, whom
- Subjective: I, you, he, she, it, we, they, who
Now apply the pronoun case rules to the following sentence:
The teacher told me that I gave him a hard time when I wouldn't tell him to who I handed the paper.
There is one error in the above sentence (with many other correctly-used pronouns). Can you spot it? Actually, "who" is a subjective pronoun, but the word "to" indicates that you need the objective "whom." The sentence should read: "...wouldn't tell him to whom I handed the paper." (In general, always remember that "to whom" is the correct construction when you see the word "to")
College Board also loves to include ambiguous pronoun questions. Read the following sentence and see if you can decipher the meaning:
Sal raced Harry and he was clearly the winner.
Who was the winner? See, the problem in the above sentence is that we don't know who "he" is. This is the case in which the antecedent is ambiguous. The sentence should be changed so that "he" is corrected to either "Sal" or "Harry."
Finally, watch out for comparisons in pronouns. You should make sure that the case of a pronoun matches the other when compared. For example:
I am a better writer than she.
This will sound strange, but it is actually correct. "I" is the subjective case, and so is "she." The sentence: "I am a better writer than her" may sound right, but it is actually incorrect.
Use the knowledge you have acquired today to take the first SAT Writing: ISE quiz. Although we haven't covered nearly all of the rules, you should have a good grasp of the subject/verb and pronoun/antecedent agreement questions. In our next lesson, we will look at verb tense errors and how to avoid they. (Just kidding! It should be "how to avoid them.") Good luck!

Submitted by Arthur - N1ORC with permission of the Houston Chronicle Hurricane postpones shuttle's Florida launch By RUTH RENDON Copyright 2002 Houston Chronicle Atlantis (STS-112) • Number of Crew Members: 6 • Mission launch: Oct 2, 2002, between 1 and 5 p.m. CDT • Mission duration: 10 days, 19 hours • Mission goals: To deliver the S1 (S-One) Truss to the International Space Station. ------------------------------------------------------------------------- ------- On-board camera • Animated camera's-eye view of a launch • Kennedy Space Center Direct television report • Press release ------------------------------------------------------------------------- ------- NASA links • Shuttle missions' schedules • Schedule for NASA-TV CAPE CANAVERAL, Fla. -- NASA's first shuttle launch in four months was postponed today because of Hurricane Lili. The space agency did not want to take a chance of launching Atlantis Wednesday, only to have the hurricane bear down on Houston, home to Mission Control. So NASA halted the countdown and aimed for a liftoff no earlier than Thursday. The mission to deliver another girder to the international space station is already six weeks late because of repairs to cracked pipes. "I think we're going to have to face a few issues with Mother Nature," Ron Dittemore, shuttle program manager, said Monday. It is the first space shuttle launch ever delayed by bad weather 900 miles away in Houston. "It's a little discouraging to get yourself this far and get ready for launch and have good weather, basically, in Florida and then find out you have this threat in the Gulf Coast," said Dittemore. "But there's no rush." The Gulf Coast is bracing for the storm, over Cuba, to make landfall as early as Thursday evening. In Galveston, the mayor is considering calling for an evacuation as early as tonight if the storm track becomes more threatening. Once the space shuttle's motors are ignited, all control mechanisms and communications are run from Johnson Space Center. A launch delay will allow about 30 NASA personnel from the Johnson Space Center who are working the launch in Florida to return to Houston to make sure their homes and families are safe. NASA has liftoff opportunities until Oct. 19. The Hurricane Center predicts that areas from Port Arthur east to the Mississippi River mouth are most vulnerable to damage from Lili's rain and winds of nearly 100 mph. Houston remains in the possible track area. Galveston Mayor Roger Quiroga said authorities there could decide tonight to recommend an evacuation of the island if the hurricane's journey shifts closer to the island. "Forecasters are gradually moving the target west, which puts Galveston directly in its path," Quiroga said. "We are very concerned. This could be a real hit on Galveston." The last time Mission Control was shut down was in 1983 when Hurricane Alicia hit the Houston area. Back then, it took about 36 hours before Mission Control was up and running. If the shuttle were to launch as scheduled and Mission Control went out of commission, a small team from JSC would have traveled to the Kennedy Space Center to regain control of the launch processing system. Activities aboard the international space station would be monitored by the Houston Support Group station in Moscow, said Mike Suffredini, international space station operations and integration manager. Without Mission Control in full force, the space shuttle would be able to dock with the space station, but astronauts would not be able to make the three planned spacewalks. The spacewalks are part of a $390 million expansion of the station's structural foundation, as well as its electrical power generation, cooling and communications systems. Atlantis had been poised to launch Wednesday between 1 and 5 p.m. As part of increased security measures, the space agency does not announce the precise time of departure until 24 hours before the scheduled liftoff. Commanding Atlantis will be Jeff Ashby with pilot Pamela A. Melroy. Mission specialists are David A. Wolf, Piers J. Sellers, Sandra H. Magnus and Russian Cosmonaut Fyodor N. Yurchikhin. The mission is NASA's first since the agency suspended flights June 24, after an inspector spotted clusters of tiny fuel line cracks aboard the shuttles Atlantis and Discovery. Inspections of Endeavour and Columbia revealed similar cracks. Chronicle reporters Kevin Moran in Galveston and Lucas Wall in Houston, and The Associated Press contributed to this story. ________________________________________________________________ GET INTERNET ACCESS FROM JUNO!

Today's news roundup sees Analysts predict Sony as top dog for September, Microsoft reveal their Six year plan for the Halo franchise, and Borderlands creator Randy Pitchford condemn Valve.
Analysts Predict Strong September for Sony
Despite a week's wait until the NPD numbers are revealed, analysts are announcing September was a fantastic month for Sony. Electronic Entertainment Design and Research (EEDAR) predicts the PS3 managed to outsell the competition with 400,000 units sold. The Wii is predicted as the next best with 375,000, then the Xbox 360 managing 370,000.
Analyst Michael Pachter predicts something similar with the PS3 selling 410,000 units, the Wii shifting 375,000, and the 360 moving 370,000. Pachter also predicts Sony may hold on to this lead throughout the rest of the year thanks to its lower price point. [VideoGamer]
Microsoft Reveal Six Year Plan for Halo
Bungie may be gone from Halo, but this hasn't stopped Microsoft from planning to ram as much of the franchise down our throats as possible for the next six years. 343 Industries creative director Frank O'Connor revealed "We do have a plan that goes out at least six years. Eventually it will become very apparent that there is a plan for the way the canon ties together and the way the comic books and the novels all tie together." Among these plans are upcoming Halo Reach, the Halo Legends anime, new Halo Evolutions novel, and the Halo: Helljumper and Blood Line comic series.
In regards to the Halo movie, O'Conner claims they're being "careful to pick the right time and the right partner." He also hints over the next six years it will be revealed what became of Master Chief after the events of Halo 3. "I think that (his) fate, Cortana's fate and the identity of that giant, dark planet at the ending are probably big mysteries that would be irritating if they were just cliffhangers," said O'Connor. Bleeding a franchise dry is usually a bad idea, so lets hope Microsoft can pull it off. [USAToday]
Randy Pitchford Reveals His Distrust of Valve
Gearbox CEO Randy Pitchford recently shared his view on developers using gaming achievements to boost game sales. Now he appears to be sharing his sage-like wisdom to warn others of the dangers of Valve. Pitchford was asked his thoughts on Steam providing easy digital distribution for many companies and their products. His reply was not so positive. "I'll tell you what. Steam helps. As a guy in this industry though, I don't trust Valve... I, personally, trust Valve. But I'm just saying, honestly, I think a lot of the industry doesn't."
He believes Steam would provide a better service if it separated itself from Valve. "It would be much better if Steam was its own business. There's so much conflict of interest there that it's horrid. It's actually really, really dangerous for the rest of the industry to allow Valve to win." He claims the lead Steam maintains in the digital market means "Valve is taking a larger share than it should for the service it's providing. It's exploiting a lot of small guys," adding "For us big guys, we're going to sell the units and it will be fine." [MaximumPC]

While the XtremeMusic's reasonable price tag has made it our favorite X-Fi, the card doesn't offer much in the way of extra I/O ports. It also lacks X-RAM—onboard memory that can be used by the X-Fi audio processor to store additional voices and higher quality audio assets. Creative claims X-RAM can ultimately improve gaming performance. Fortunately, both X-RAM and additional I/O ports are available on the X-Fi Fatal1ty, with a red LED riding shotgun, of course.
To explore the X-Fi's potential with X-RAM onboard and a collection of extra I/O ports at its disposal, we've cornered an X-Fi Fatal1ty for testing. Read on to see if it can match the XtremeMusic's impeccable audio qualityand whether X-RAM makes a difference in the games that support it.
X-Fi and X-RAM
Before we continue, I strongly suggest you read our original review of the X-Fi audio processor. Our initial coverage of the chip delves into the X-Fi's flexible audio ring architecture, 24-bit Crystalizer, CMSS-3D, playback modes, and Creative's bundled software. That discussion applies to the X-Fi Fatal1ty, which shares the same audio processor, software, and capabilities as the rest of the X-Fi lineup. The Fatal1ty does bring a couple of extra bells and whistles to the table, though. Among them is support for onboard memory that Creative has dubbed X-RAM.
X-RAM may be a fancy new marketing moniker, but onboard sound card memory isn't exactly a novel idea. After all, Creative's own AWE32 was available with between two and eight megabytes of onboard memory years ago. Creative insists that X-RAM is different, though, because it's there explicitly for use by applications. Developers are free to exploit X-RAM as they see fit, and Creative hopes they'll use it to cache uncompressed audio. Doing so could save CPU cycles and improve in-game frame rates, especially when developers take advantage of the X-Fi's support for 128 simultaneous hardware voices. Creative also likes to talk about how caching uncompressed audio with X-RAM can free up system memory, but with current X-RAM implementations packing only 64MB onboard, that's not saving you much.
To illustrate X-RAM's performance potential, Creative modified Unreal Tournament 2004's audio engine increase the number of simultaneous hardware voices and support X-RAM. This updated Unreal Tournament build was originally going to be made available to X-Fi owners, although when we asked for a copy, Creative indicated that it was no longer planning to make the build public. Since we couldn't get our hands on the build for testing, we have to rely on the results Creative details in its X-Fi reviewer's guide.
Creative's tests contrast Unreal Tournament 2004 performance with "basic" audio, which decompresses audio streams on the fly, and with X-RAM caching uncompressed audio. The results speak for themselves, as X-RAM enables higher frame rates with both 10 and 30 simultaneous voices. Note that the performance drop from 10 to 30 voices is much less significant with X-RAM caching uncompressed audio, as well. Of course, considering that these tests were conducted by Creative using a special build of the Unreal Tournament engine that won't be publicly released, they may represent a best-case scenario for X-RAM's performance impact.
In addition to caching standard, uncompressed audio, X-RAM can be used to store higher quality audio samples that would have been infeasible to stream from the hard drive or decompress on the fly. That could allow developers to finally bring high-definition audio to games, since the X-Fi supports 24-bit/96kHz audio for all 128 of its hardware voices.
As with many new features, developers must specifically target X-RAM to reap any benefits that the onboard memory can provide. Two publicly available games already do this, with Battlefield 2 and Quake 4 using X-RAM to cache in-game audio. Creative says X-RAM support is coming in more upcoming titles, as well, although we have to wonder just how willing developers will be to dedicate resources to exploiting a feature that has such little market penetration. X-RAM is currently only available on the X-Fi Fatal1ty and Elite Pro, which cost upwards of $250 and $330, respectively. Considering their price tags, it's unlikely that X-RAM support will reach a critical mass among gamers and enthusiasts any time soon.

Tavi Gevinson Says Fashion Week Is Like Homework
Tavi Gevinson has grown up crazy fast. It seems like only yesterday she was a pint-sized granny-child people were shit talking for wearing a giant hat in the front row of a fashion show (and/or being there at all), and now she's a lovely young woman who runs a crazy-successful feminist-leaning website for teenage girls. She's also branched out into acting with an impressive first movie role in Enough Said alongside Julia Louis Dreyfuss and the late James Gandolfini. She's also finishing high school and applying to college. So it stands to reason she might let one of her past pursuits go, and not too surprisingly, that pursuit is fashion. (Sorry, fashion.)
In a newly published interview with The Cut, Tavi compares missing New York Fashion Week to missing school:
How has it been for you to be at a film festival during New York Fashion Week. I know you've said you're kind of over fashion.
I didn't know Fashion Week was going on. I mean, I'm not over the parts that were always important to me, but … it's not like Fashion Week is every day, and I've been doing it every day for the past few years. It's not a great answer, but it just doesn't feel very … it's the same feeling [as when] I leave from school to go to a city and I come home and I have to catch up on homework. [Laughs.] That's, like, the only thing on my mind right now.
I think it's a fine answer, actually. Tavi missed fashion week to do other (way cooler, IMO) things, and she's going to take a look at it when she can. And isn't it adorable that this young female leader of
tomorrow today still has to worry about a thing as prosaic as homework? Most people would have justifiably dropped out of school by now, so good on her for keeping it real.
She also talks about how she fell into acting, and manages to sound a lot less asinine than most people who talk about stumbling upon such a glamorous career:
"When I was younger, I always liked acting. You know, like, acting locally, or community theater at school. But it's not an especially insured career choice, so I was like, 'It's a hobby, whatever.' And then my agency, UTA, approached me because they were like, 'You are very good at expressing your general point of view. You might want to explore this in a few mediums, if you ever want to. We just want you to have the resources to do stuff outside of online, if you want to.' And I was, like, 'Well, actually, I am interested in acting.' And then I got the script for Nicole's movie last summer, and I auditioned, and I was sure I didn't get it because I had just gotten into a fight with a friend right before, and so I was not super … I think I felt a little weird the whole time, and then that ended up helping because my character is someone who feels a little weird and uncomfortable all the time."
But where she really gets me is when she discusses wanting to go on a road trip with her boyfriend (Tavi has a boyfriend! She's not a kid anymore!) and her friends. A girl after my own heart.
I will say that I enjoyed Tavi's fashion blogging, but I find the stuff she writes about now (feminism! movies! teenhood from the perspective of a crazy-precocious but also normal teen!) a lot more interesting, so I'm not too sad that part of her career is over. I'm 100% into her current endeavors, and I can't wait to see what she decides to do next.

Hello!!! My name is Lobo and, as you can see from by picture, I am a very handsome little 4 year old Shih Tzu boy. I weigh about 16 pounds or so. I am one sweet guy AND I am also one very lucky guy. My life before living in my "way cool Arizona foster home" with my "way cool foster Mom and Dad" was not so great. I spent the first 4 years of my life living in a puppy mill before I was rescued by the wonderful volunteers at Lone Star. I was a little shy and fearful when I first came into foster care, but I have blossomed into a social, loving and very sweet boy.
My foster Mom says that I am even cuter than my picture and that I look like and even act like a little angel. She tells me that I am very easy to have around the house. Actually, I am so grateful to have been rescued that I have a little smile on my face pretty much all the time. I love getting pets from any one and will rub against your leg when I want attention. I also love playing with my foster brothers and sisters and would love to be in a forever home that has a playful dog that could be my friend. I am house trained too.
If you think that I might be the perfect dog for your family, please take a look at my Petfinder page. Also, my foster Mom Lisa would be happy to tell you all about me. You can email her at email@example.com. I now know what it's like to live in a REAL home with a REAL family. I REALLY would like my own special forever home and family. Please think about me!! I promise to make you happy!!
I am altered, up-to-date on all my shots and am heartworm negative.

It is our responsibility to keep the water free from pollution. Simple steps such as using natural cleaning products at home and avoiding those containing toxins and planting more trees and flowers in the yard or yard can contribute significant impact. On a larger scale, consider opposing industries that dump waste into local tributaries, rivers, and the foreshore or the shore to reduce water pollution in your community. Any action you take will make a meaningful change.
Reduce the use of chemicals to clean the house. This is a simple step that can make a huge difference. Toxic chemicals such as ammonia and bleach to clean the house is not only bad for water supplies but also should not be done. Natural cleaners are just as efficient at cleaning the house and you do not have to worry about contributing to water pollution when using it. Commonly available household utensils such as baking soda and white vinegar can be used for jobs like washing windows or scrubbing bathroom tiles, and they do not contain toxins. Visit http://www.kompasiana.com/mariahardayanto/5a245b40d14aeb39355c58b2/bersama-kita-bisa-atasi-masalah-sampah-di-lautan to find out why you need to reduce water pollution.

I remember the first time I had Chocolate Eclair Cake. I was in high school, and was working my part-time job at the library. Before Becky the Really Bad Boss started. I have no idea why, but she hated me, and made working there very difficult. I am pleased to say, though, that I managed to outlast her–She moved on to some other position within the library about a year before I eventually left to go off to college. I don't remember if it was for someone's birthday or a random potluck, but I do remember it was a coworker named Linda who brought it in, and it was the greatest thing I'd ever tasted.
Before I discovered Tiramisu, and while I was still in the throes of my love for Boston Cream Pie, Chocolate Eclair Cake was amazing. Pudding, cakey bits from the graham crackers, and of course, chocolate.
I also recall that when my sister and I were living together, I'd occasionally whip one up, and we'd watch TV or play video games with the pan and two forks sitting between us (this is obviously before she went vegan). Overindulgence at its finest, let me tell ya.
One of the things I love best about Chocolate Eclair Cake is that it's no-bake, which means it's perfect for a summer potluck, which is what we're featuring for Sunday Supper this week. You don't have to heat up the kitchen at all to make it, and it feeds a crowd. Or two sisters with massive sweet teeth. Place a layer of graham crackers on the bottom of a 9x13-inch pan. Break the crackers to fit if necessary.
Chocolate Eclair Cake #SundaySupper
Meanwhile, whisk together the 1 3/4 C milk and the pudding. Whisk until thickened, then fold in the whipped topping.
Spread half the pudding mixture on top of the graham crackers. Top that with another layer of graham crackers, the other half of the pudding, and a final layer of graham crackers.
In a medium mixing bowl, melt the chocolate and butter together, in the microwave. Whisk until smooth. Slowly add in the powdered sugar and the milk. Beat until smooth. Spread over the top layer of graham crackers. Refrigerate at least 8 hours before serving, overnight if possible.
Thanks to TR Crumbley for hosting this week! Check out the rest of the potluck dishes by the Sunday Supper group:

Researchers at Columbia Engineering have solved a long-standing issue in the creation of untethered soft robots whose actions and movements can help mimic natural biological systems. A group in the Creative Machines lab led by Hod Lipson, professor of mechanical engineering, has developed a 3D-printable synthetic soft muscle, a one-of-a-kind artificial active tissue with intrinsic expansion ability that does not require an external compressor or high voltage equipment as previous muscles required. The new material has a strain density (expansion per gram) that is 15 times larger than natural muscle, and can lift 1000 times its own weight. Continue reading
#431081 How the Intelligent Home of the Future ...
As Dorothy famously said in The Wizard of Oz, there's no place like home. Home is where we go to rest and recharge. It's familiar, comfortable, and our own. We take care of our homes by cleaning and maintaining them, and fixing things that break or go wrong.
What if our homes, on top of giving us shelter, could also take care of us in return?
According to Chris Arkenberg, this could be the case in the not-so-distant future. As part of Singularity University's Experts On Air series, Arkenberg gave a talk called "How the Intelligent Home of The Future Will Care For You."
Arkenberg is a research and strategy lead at Orange Silicon Valley, and was previously a research fellow at the Deloitte Center for the Edge and a visiting researcher at the Institute for the Future.
Arkenberg told the audience that there's an evolution going on: homes are going from being smart to being connected, and will ultimately become intelligent.
Market Trends
Intelligent home technologies are just now budding, but broader trends point to huge potential for their growth. We as consumers already expect continuous connectivity wherever we go—what do you mean my phone won't get reception in the middle of Yosemite? What do you mean the smart TV is down and I can't stream Game of Thrones?
As connectivity has evolved from a privilege to a basic expectation, Arkenberg said, we're also starting to have a better sense of what it means to give up our data in exchange for services and conveniences. It's so easy to click a few buttons on Amazon and have stuff show up at your front door a few days later—never mind that data about your purchases gets recorded and aggregated.
"Right now we have single devices that are connected," Arkenberg said. "Companies are still trying to show what the true value is and how durable it is beyond the hype."
Connectivity is the basis of an intelligent home. To take a dumb object and make it smart, you get it online. Belkin's Wemo, for example, lets users control lights and appliances wirelessly and remotely, and can be paired with Amazon Echo or Google Home for voice-activated control.
Speaking of voice-activated control, Arkenberg pointed out that physical interfaces are evolving, too, to the point that we're actually getting rid of interfaces entirely, or transitioning to 'soft' interfaces like voice or gesture.
Drivers of change
Consumers are open to smart home tech and companies are working to provide it. But what are the drivers making this tech practical and affordable? Arkenberg said there are three big ones:
Computation: Computers have gotten exponentially more powerful over the past few decades. If it wasn't for processors that could handle massive quantities of information, nothing resembling an Echo or Alexa would even be possible. Artificial intelligence and machine learning are powering these devices, and they hinge on computing power too.
Sensors: "There are more things connected now than there are people on the planet," Arkenberg said. Market research firm Gartner estimates there are 8.4 billion connected things currently in use. Wherever digital can replace hardware, it's doing so. Cheaper sensors mean we can connect more things, which can then connect to each other.
Data: "Data is the new oil," Arkenberg said. "The top companies on the planet are all data-driven giants. If data is your business, though, then you need to keep finding new ways to get more and more data." Home assistants are essentially data collection systems that sit in your living room and collect data about your life. That data in turn sets up the potential of machine learning.
Colonizing the Living Room
Alexa and Echo can turn lights on and off, and Nest can help you be energy-efficient. But beyond these, what does an intelligent home really look like?
Arkenberg's vision of an intelligent home uses sensing, data, connectivity, and modeling to manage resource efficiency, security, productivity, and wellness.
Autonomous vehicles provide an interesting comparison: they're surrounded by sensors that are constantly mapping the world to build dynamic models to understand the change around itself, and thereby predict things. Might we want this to become a model for our homes, too? By making them smart and connecting them, Arkenberg said, they'd become "more biological."
There are already several products on the market that fit this description. RainMachine uses weather forecasts to adjust home landscape watering schedules. Neurio monitors energy usage, identifies areas where waste is happening, and makes recommendations for improvement.
These are small steps in connecting our homes with knowledge systems and giving them the ability to understand and act on that knowledge.
He sees the homes of the future being equipped with digital ears (in the form of home assistants, sensors, and monitoring devices) and digital eyes (in the form of facial recognition technology and machine vision to recognize who's in the home). "These systems are increasingly able to interrogate emotions and understand how people are feeling," he said. "When you push more of this active intelligence into things, the need for us to directly interface with them becomes less relevant."
Could our homes use these same tools to benefit our health and wellness? FREDsense uses bacteria to create electrochemical sensors that can be applied to home water systems to detect contaminants. If that's not personal enough for you, get a load of this: ClinicAI can be installed in your toilet bowl to monitor and evaluate your biowaste. What's the point, you ask? Early detection of colon cancer and other diseases.
What if one day, your toilet's biowaste analysis system could link up with your fridge, so that when you opened it it would tell you what to eat, and how much, and at what time of day?
Roadblocks to intelligence
"The connected and intelligent home is still a young category trying to establish value, but the technological requirements are now in place," Arkenberg said. We're already used to living in a world of ubiquitous computation and connectivity, and we have entrained expectations about things being connected. For the intelligent home to become a widespread reality, its value needs to be established and its challenges overcome.
One of the biggest challenges will be getting used to the idea of continuous surveillance. We'll get convenience and functionality if we give up our data, but how far are we willing to go? Establishing security and trust is going to be a big challenge moving forward," Arkenberg said.
There's also cost and reliability, interoperability and fragmentation of devices, or conversely, what Arkenberg called 'platform lock-on,' where you'd end up relying on only one provider's system and be unable to integrate devices from other brands.
Ultimately, Arkenberg sees homes being able to learn about us, manage our scheduling and transit, watch our moods and our preferences, and optimize our resource footprint while predicting and anticipating change.
"This is the really fascinating provocation of the intelligent home," Arkenberg said. "And I think we're going to start to see this play out over the next few years."
Sounds like a home Dorothy wouldn't recognize, in Kansas or anywhere else.

#431078 This Year's Awesome Robot Stories From ...
Each week we scour the web for great articles and fascinating advances across our core topics, from AI to biotech and the brain. But robots have a special place in our hearts. This week, we took a look back at 2017 so far and unearthed a few favorite robots for your reading and viewing pleasure.
Tarzan the Swinging Robot Could Be the Future of FarmingMariella Moon | Engadget"Tarzan will be able to swing over crops using its 3D-printed claws and parallel guy-wires stretched over fields. It will then take measurements and pictures of each plant with its built-in camera while suspended…While it may take some time to achieve that goal, the researchers plan to start testing the robot soon."
Grasping Robots Compete to Rule Amazon's Warehouses Tom Simonite | Wired"Robots able to help with so-called picking tasks would boost Amazon's efficiency—and make it much less reliant on human workers. It's why the company has invited a motley crew of mechanical arms, grippers, suction cups—and their human handlers—to Nagoya, Japan, this week to show off their manipulation skills."
Robots Learn to Speak Body LanguageAlyssa Pagano | IEEE Spectrum"One notable feature of the OpenPose system is that it can track not only a person's head, torso, and limbs but also individual fingers. To do that, the researchers used CMU's Panoptic Studio, a dome lined with 500 cameras, where they captured body poses at a variety of angles and then used those images to build a data set."
I Watched Two Robots Chat Together on Stage at a Tech EventJon Russell | TechCrunch"The robots in question are Sophia and Han, and they belong to Hanson Robotics, a Hong Kong-based company that is developing and deploying artificial intelligence in humanoids. The duo took to the stage at Rise in Hong Kong with Hanson Robotics' Chief Scientist Ben Goertzel directing the banter. The conversation, which was partially scripted, wasn't as slick as the human-to-human panels at the show, but it was certainly a sight to behold for the packed audience."
How This Japanese Robotics Master Is Building Better, More Human AndroidsHarry McCracken | Fast Company"On the tech side, making a robot look and behave like a person involves everything from electronics to the silicone Ishiguro's team uses to simulate skin. 'We have a technology to precisely control pneumatic actuators,' he says, noting, as an example of what they need to re-create, that 'the human shoulder has four degrees of freedom.'"

Discussion in 'Picture Gallery' started by STITCHES, Sep 17, 2004.
found this pic on a website. thought it was pretty funny.
Pure. Genius.
the original picture working for you guys? It's not for me
ah hah! it that case my original response will make sense to you!
edit: looks like the only reason it started working for me was that i viewed the source of this page to get the IMG url, went to it in a new window, then it loaded from cache in this thread. but unless you go through all that crap then you won't be able to see s....
It's not working for me but if you just open up your activity window and find the file that didn't load you can double click on it and you will be able to see it.
Thats how I saw it.
someone else posted this like 6 months ago ...........
Someone said that like 20 years ago..............
I don't know why, but that actually made me sit here, alone in my room and laugh out loud to myself. Bravo!
It says 1984 in the quite. So your point being.....
I guess if I have to explain.. You were criticizing the thread because of it's age, and because you happened to see the photo when it was posted a while ago. Just because something is old and you are aware of it does not mean it shouldn't be shared. Other people who haven't seen it are enjoying it, so what is the problem? Why are you sharing your quote if it has already be posted (20 years ago published), and people have already seen it? Maybe because someone who hasn't seen it yet will enjoy it. I was pointing out the hypocritical practice of criticizing something you do yourself. Enjoy the treads. I am sure you will enjoy a thread in the future even though it was posted 6 months ago and you didn't happen to see it.
Hey cool, I'd never actually used the activity viewer before Anyway, that's a funny cartoon, I saw that over on the joy of tech a while ago.
forget I said anything
went to wash my car and just came back. here you go....again
(just to let you know i cant see it from this comp so im just gonna asume you cant)
you know i never realized it, but i think i have said ALL OF THOSE THINGS at one time or another to a PC using friend. call me crazy, but does this make me gay!?!?! haha.
The latest one is one of my favorites. Link
These guys crack me up, probably one of my favorite comics.
This one's pretty funny too. Link
Macs are alot more stylish than any other computer out there, mabye people who are trying to get their friends to buy a Mac should start pushing the style of the computer more. Hey it might work.
That one's beautiful! I enjoyed reading them so much I ended up buying the book, it's great to have around for a laugh once in a while
I prefer Penny-Arcade. More swearing.
So people who only use Macs are gay?
What I want to know is - why does the back of his 'PC' Minitower look like the back of a Quadra 700 / IIcx / IIci? And why does the desktop look like the back of a 7200/7300/7500/7600/Desktop G3? That's just sick. The power cables aren't even plugged in right!
Q700 Linky.
G3 Linky.
Thanks so much for introducing me to the activity viewer... I opened the image that was "forbidden" and whisked to a porn site.
Because Nitrozac and Snaggy are staunch Mac users. Their comics are always pro-Mac, anti-Windows. Or in the case of this one, against mister real, just remember to scroll down and look at the 'The JoyPoll'. These guys are classic.

Henry Wallace in WorldwarEdit
Henry Wallace (1888-1944) served as Vice President of the United States from 1941 until 1944. He was killed when the Race destroyed the city of Seattle with an explosive-metal bomb.[1] He predeceased President Franklin D. Roosevelt by a few months. When Roosevelt died of a stroke, Secretary of State Cordell Hull succeeded to the presidency.
Henry Wallace in "News From the Front"Edit
In May, 1942, Vice President Henry Wallace publicly broke with President Franklin D. Roosevelt over the the country's participation in World War II. Wallace first called for a timetable for victory, suggesting that if the U.S. hadn't won in 18 months, the country should withdraw from the war altogether. Wallace was also dubious about the USA's ability to feed the world in the event of victory.[2]
Later that month, with rumors of Roosevelt's impeachment in the air, Wallace claimed that Roosevelt had been dishonest with the American people in the lead-up to the country's entry into the war, and promised that if he were to become president, he would negotiate a peace.[3]. While the Roosevelt Administration retorted that Wallace's criticism was benefiting the enemy, Wallace steadfastly explained that he was telling the people the truth.[4]
In June, 1942, the House had taken the first steps towards impeaching Roosevelt. Wallace acknowledged that he would probably be president if Roosevelt was removed from office, but promised that only peace could get the country back on track.[5]
Henry Wallace in Southern VictoryEdit
Henry "Hank" Wallace served as United States Secretary of the Interior under President Al Smith. As such, he knew about the project to build a superbomb in Hanford, Washington. When Congresswoman Flora Blackford discovered the discrepancy in the budget that funded the project, she made several calls to the Department of the Interior, including Wallace's office. However, when a response came, it was not from Wallace, but from Franklin Roosevelt, the Assistant Secretary of War.[6]
After President Smith was killed in a Confederate bombing raid in 1942, Wallace resigned. The new President Charles W. La Follette appointed Harry Hopkins in his place.[7][8]

Born in Ottawa, Canada.
Got a Sega Genesis for Xmas in '94, + Sonic 2.
Older brother, Es, put me onto Jay Dee & Pete Rock.
Age 12, tried rapping. Got discouraged after people told me I had a "geek's voice". Hung up the mic for good. Accidently stumbled upon beatmaking exactly one year later… Ended up paying for books in college by flipping tracks to rappers and such.
Started getting frustrated with buster ass rappers fucking me over and the focus then moved to instrumentals for good. Things changed after I started dropping these mixtapes and opened for Talib Kweli.
Met this nigga Bahwee who invited me to join HW&W… I foolishly accept and here I am now.

Cutoff cart using the drawing and cut list provided by Greg with his project here.
This is a great little cart that really helps organise the wood I should probably throw away. Mine is screwed together using MDF. Just as I was driving in the last screw I had the thought that this would have been a good project for the Kreg jig, which I totally forgot about. Oh well, next time. I hope I don't have to move it very often as the 'Strong Horse' brand castors are pretty rough but for the equivalent of $1.5 US each I wasn't expecting much.

Good idea but I would need a much larger cart as I don't seem to be able to throw wood away cept as sawdust. Haa Haa. I got a friend that can hardly werk for the scrap wood but he can't make himself throw it away.

BRUSSELS - European Union states will impose sanctions on seven Syrian government ministers next week, adding to pressure on President Bashar Assad to end violence against the opposition, a senior EU diplomat said on Thursday.
EU foreign ministers are set to agree at a meeting in Brussels on Monday to travel bans and asset freezes against the officials, who they say are responsible for human rights violations in Syria.
Senior diplomat say foreign ministers set to agree on travel bans, asset freezes, central bank sanctions on Monday
The moves will accompany new sanctions against the Syrian central bank, a prohibition on trade in precious metals with state institutions and a ban on cargo flights from Syria, the official said. The new sanctions will take effect on Tuesday next week.

Source for Chip Ganassi's Chair?
Q: I recently read an article in Automobile Magazine about auto racing mogul Chip Ganassi. What jumped out at me, though, was the chair he was pictured in. It looks like a Saarinen chair but has Eames Aluminum Group influences too. Either way, it's gorgeous, but I have no idea how to find out exactly what chair this is. Does anyone out there have an idea?

A funny thing happened on the way to the Buick Open golf tournament last week. Players who would normally have teed up the popular Titleist Tour 384 golf ball found it had been banned by the United States Golf Association. The Wilson Aviator was also dropped from the list of conforming golf balls, of which there are about 350.
This sort of thing might have gone unnoticed, except that Hal Sutton had used the 384 (so named because of its dimple count) a week earlier in winning the PGA Championship. The scenario, critics felt, was all too similar to what happened last year, when Tom Watson's ball, the Golden Ram Pro Tour B, was declared illegal after he used it to win the US and British Opens.
In both instances, the victories stand, since the Titleist and Ram models were on the conformity list at the time Sutton and Watson played them. And in neither case were the golfers trying to gain an unfair advantage.
What we're talking about here are very minor violations of tremendously exacting standards. For example, the Ram ball was only one- to two-thousandths of an inch under the 1.68-inch limit. The Titleist ball didn't pass the rigid guidelines dictating spherical symmetry.
''Golf balls are very complex projectiles,'' says Frank Thomas of the USGA, ''and right now there seems to be a dimple race going on. People have gotten the idea that the length of a shot and the number of dimples on the surface of the ball are proportional, which is not necessarily the case. But it all becomes a very sensitive thing determining which balls meet the standards.''
The USGA checks balls during the winter for size, weight, and initial velocity before putting them through a second battery of tests outdoors during the summer, using a mechanical driver. Three times each year a list of conforming balls is issued, but landing on this list is no guarantee of staying on it. Balls are constantly being tested, and the slightest alteration in the manufacturing process can sometimes cause a ball to lose its legal status. New balls, which check out OK during the indoor inspection, are essentially conditionally approved, pending further testing. Wherefore art thou, lefties?
Major league baseball is loaded with left-handed players, at least in certain positions, namely pitcher, the outfield, and first base. But when was the last time you saw a left-handed catcher? Or, for that matter, a left-hander at any of the infield positions but first?
The fact is, certain positions are almost the exclusive province of right-handers. Hardly anyone gives this a second thought. But then a player like Mike Squires will come along to remind us of this seeming oddity. Squires is a first baseman with the Chicago White Sox, but in 1980 he worked behind the plate twice, making him the first left-handed catcher in the majors since Dale Long in 1958.
The other week, announcers on the Monday night game between Chicago and Detroit shared this bit of trivia, but without really getting into the reasons for it.
Putting a left-hander at catcher poses a few problems, even if seemingly minor ones. Most batters are right-handed, and therefore more likely to be in the way of a left-handed catcher trying to throw out a runner attempting to steal second. On plays at the plate, the right-handed catcher has his glove more conveniently positioned on the third-base side.
Variations on this sort of logic can be used to explain the absence of lefties at second, third, and short. For example, a third baseman has to cover more ground to his left than down the line. Consequently, it's an advantage for a player to wear his glove on the left hand, since it makes for greater reach - and throwing to first is less awkward, too.
Dale Long, incidentally, was a journeyman first baseman who made more of an impression hitting home runs than he did during two games catching for the Chicago Cubs in 1958. While with Pittsburgh, Long set a major league record by homering in eight consecutive games. Among the pitchers he connected against were Warren Spahn, Carl Erskine, and Lindy McDaniel. The no-joke Artichokes
West Coast football writer Mike Welds has put together a list of the 10 most unusual college nicknames. Spiders, Blue Hens, Presidents, Fighting Engineers, Student Princes, Vulcans, and Poets definitely rate as different. Still further out are the Flying Nanooks of Alaska and the Fighting Kangaroos of Missouri-Kansas City. Most outlandish of all, however, may be the Artichokes of Scottsdale (Ariz.) Community College. Now there's a name only a vegetarian could love.
According to the school's athletic department, the nickname was chosen by the students as a ''putdown'' earlier in the college's 12-year history. Campus activists were concerned the school was gaining a reputation as a farm club for Arizona State University and decided to deflate the sports program with a name-the-teams contest.
The athletic department lives with ''Artichokes'' uneasily, basically choosing to ignore the nickname. Yet there are no indications it will change, this despite once using Drovers (animal herders).
Others may laugh, but to their credit, the Artichokes are serious and sometimes superior competitors. The men's golf team and women's volleyball squad are junior-college champions, and the school's football team is consistently in the top 10. She said it . . .
* Tennis veteran Rosemary Casals on playing in youth-laden women's pro tournaments: ''I don't know anybody anymore. I look around the place, and here are all these kids who should be in school. This is supposed to be women's tennis, but it isn't women's tennis anymore - it's kids' tennis. And in a lot of ways, it's kind of sad.''
