Jazz Organ and Piano
...this is where it's at in Australia. - ABC Limelight Magazine
We've been working away at some new original tunes of mine, recording them in my home studio on my 1961 Hammond A100.
This one is called "All Greyed Out"
We've just completed a 6-week run as part of the Rare Groove Mondays at Foundry 616 in Ultimo. This expanded version of the trio featured a different special guest saxophonist each week. Videos of select performances from this series are on the Video page. The guests were:
The trio made its first appearance in Melbourne at the very funky Paris Cat jazz club on March 30th, 2016, backing our good friend Dan Barnett on vocals and trombone.
On March 31st, 2016, the trio performed at Bar 303 in Northcote, Melbourne for it's monthly "Kickin' The B3" night. It was great to perform on a real Hammond for a change! There's a video of this gig on the Video page.
On April 20th, 2016 I recorded with fabulous guitarist Sorcha Albuquerque at ABC studios in Ultimo, with Evan Mannell on drums. The session will be broadcast on ABC radio later this year - stay tuned!
The trio performs on March 25th with a very special guest Spike Mason on sax.
Libor Smoldas (Czech) was our special guest recently at Playbar and Cronulla's Brass Monkey.
I'm proud to announce I've been given an Artist deal from KeyB Organ, Italy. This B3 clone is as close as it gets to the real vintage Hammond.
This B3 clone is as close as it gets to the real vintage Hammond in both tone and interface. It's a pure joy to play!

Playwright: Christina Calvit, adptd from Jane Austen
Director: Virginia Reed
This story follows the Bennet family: five daughters in want of husbands, their witty but disengaged father and their mother, who's obsessed with marrying off her daughters. When a rich young man and his even richer friend arrive in the neighborhood, and a company of militia is stationed in the nearby town, possibilities for love and marriage seem limitless. Comically skewering the class-consciousness of her world, Austen creates a combination of social satire and romantic comedy, highlighted by the tempestuous relationship between lively Elizabeth Bennet and prideful Mr. Darcy. Their story, perhaps influenced by Much Ado About Nothing, is one of the most cherished love stories in English literature.Tickets and info: (925) 443-2273 or livermoreshakes.org

Lucid Dreaming for Adventure and Fantasy
Have you ever had a really great dream that suddenly veered off in the wrong direction? One minute you were flying with the dragons of Avatar, in a thrilling fantasy adventure, the next you were taking a test in school without having studied, feeling unprepared and afraid. That disappointment stays with you all day, doesn't it? Well, what if you could actually control the direction of your dreams? There would be no more such disappointments! This is the reward held out to us by the art of lucid dreaming.
What is Lucid Dreaming?
Quite simply, lucid dreaming is the ability to retain conscious awareness and control while in the dream state. You know you are dreaming, and instead of being a passenger taken for a ride, you can elect to take a more active role and decide where that ride is going to take you. Lucid dreaming was first described by Frederik van Eeden in A Study of Dreams (1913), but was not fully accepted by the scientific community until Dr. Stephen LaBerge of Stanford University published Lucid Dreaming in 1986.
The Ultimate in Adventure and Fantasy
The movie Avatar was a tour de force of cinematic creativity, but it pales in comparison to the literally infinite creativity of the human mind in the dream state. We all know this to be true, and have had countless personal experiences that prove it. Now imagine being able to harness that staggering power any way you want: to fly like an eagle, to perform like a professional sports star, to have, ahem, the most satisfying romantic encounters you could ever conceive of. There is absolutely no limit to what you can do or experience when lucid dreaming.
So How Do I Lucid Dream?
Until recently, the answer to that question was: "not easily." Careful cultivation of mental skills, such as the recognition of "markers" within dreams that trigger greater awareness while dreaming, has been coupled with "dream machines" that expose the sleeper to certain flashes of light or sounds, intended to remind them of their intention to become lucid. It sounds tricky, and it is.
But now there is a better way – an easier, quicker, cheaper way. Lucid dreaming can now be achieved much more readily thanks to the control of brainwaves that has been made possible by the audio technology of brainwave entrainment. If you're ready for the ultimate in fantasy and adventure, and you don't mind getting really good free samples, visit The Unexplainable Store. It's the most exciting journey you'll ever take!

I'tikaaf means staying in the mosque for a specific purpose, which is to worship Allah, may He be glorified. It is prescribed in Islam and is mustahabb according to the consensus of the scholars. Imam Ahmad said, as was narrated from him by Abu Dawood: "I have not heard from any of the scholars that it is anything other than Sunnah."
Al-Zuhri, May Allah have mercy on him, said: "How strange the Muslims are! They have given up I'tikaaf, despite the fact that the Prophet, Peace and Blessings of Allah be upon him, never abandoned this practice from the time he came to Madeenah until his death."
The benefits of I'tikaaf
There are many hidden benefits in the acts of worship and much wisdom behind them. The basis of all deeds is the heart, as the Messenger of Allah, Peace and Blessings of Allah be upon him, said: "In the body there is an organ which if it is sound, the entire body will be sound, and if it is corrupt, the entire body will be corrupt. That organ is the heart." (Narrated by al-Bukhaari, 52; Muslim, 1599)
What corrupts the heart most is distractions and preoccupations – such as food, drink, sex, talking too much, sleeping too much and socializing too much, and other distractions – which divert people from turning to Allah and cause the heart to be unfocused and unable to concentrate on worshipping Allah. So Allah has prescribed acts of worship, such as fasting, to protect the heart from the negative effects of these distractions. Fasting deprives a person of food and drink and sex during the day, and this denial of excessive enjoyments is reflected in the heart, which gains more strength for seeking Allah and frees it from the chains of these distractions which distract a person from thinking of the Hereafter by occupying him with worldly concerns.
Just as fasting is a shield which protects the heart from the influences of physical distractions such as excessive indulgence in food, drink and sex, so I'tikaaf offers an immense hidden benefit, which is protection from the effects of excessive socializing. For people may take socializing to extremes, until it has a similar effect on a person to the effects of over-eating, as the poet said:
"Your enemy was once your friend, so do not have too many companions,
For, as you see, most diseases come from food and drink."
I'tikaaf also offers protection from the evil consequences of talking too much, because a person usually does I'tikaaf on his own, turning to Allah by praying Qiyaam al-Layl, reading Qur'an, making Dhikr,
reciting du'aa', and so on.
It also offers protection from sleeping too much, because when a person makes I'tikaaf in the mosque, he devotes his time to drawing closer to Allah by doing different kinds of acts of worship; he does not stay in the mosque to sleep.
Undoubtedly a person's success in freeing himself from socializing, talking and sleeping too much will help him to make his heart turn towards Allah, and will protect him from the opposite.


text: If you don't play jazz, blues, or some other type of music that involves spontaneous playing, you might wonder what purpose there is in learning to improvise. Sure, "jazzheads" can sit around listening to John Coltrane or some other historic figure, but how can this arcane skill be of any value to a contemporary musician? Listen to popular songs, film scores or even academic classical compositions, and you will hear very little improvised material. Even in the classic rock guitar-hero era, most solos were brief 8-bar affairs that could (and often were) pre-composed by the soloist. So what's the point of putting in massive amounts of time for this "obsolete" skill? Why not just work it all out in advance?

1874 · N. P. (cleveland)
by Harte, Bret
N. P. (cleveland): J. F. Ryder, 1874. 12mo. Single sheet "card" (approx. 4 1/4" x 6 1/2"). Listed under BAL 7276 as a "card" produced subsequent to the leaflet issued by J. F. Ryder of Cleveland in 1874, with the paste-on sheet bearing an illustration by a Mr. Willard and the J. F. Ryder imprint. The present Bret Harte poem has fragments of the paste-on sheet still adhering to the reverse side. A few small edge chips; very good. The Kozlay Sale Catalog of March 18, 1926, indicates the copy of the leaflet printing (Item 99), was probably unique. If so, it must be the Yale University copy today. The "card" printing does not appear in the Kozlay catalog. The poem is not mentioned in Boynton's "Life" nor in the collected "Letters." It is printed on pages 385-387 of "Stories and Poems and Other Uncollected Writings" (1914), without any note of source. It probably had had a previous appearance in a periodical. Housed in an attractive, older cloth covered slipcase with a black leather lettering piece on spine; chemise. BAL 7276. (Inventory #: 6379)

Midlothian bowlers have done themselves and the other East section campaigners in the Scottish Cities & Counties Championship a massive favour by inflicting a first defeat on West Lothian bringing the joint leaders back to within sight of the pack with an impressive 129-120 victory at Loanhead MW.
Wins on the rinks skipped by David Peacock, Colin Walker and Craig Hodge only gave Midlothian a 3-3 share across the green but their aggregate of 27 shots gave them nine more than the 18 achieved by Grant Logan, Neil Speirs and Steven Fleming for West Lothian.
"This is the first win of our campaign so it is a great relief to get off the mark but we deserved a break after two narrow away defeats and, of course, beating the section favourites is a welcome boost to our morale," said Frank Gray for Midlothian.
Whilst Gray is over the moon at the end result he sets high standards for his team and, given the pressure he suffers on the banking, was unhappy that a peak lead of 26 shots was whittled down to single figures.
"We have a worrying tendency of taking our foot off the pedal and were in danger of tossing the match away until Davy (Peacock) carded a 5 at the 18th end and Colin (Walker) picked up a 6 at the 19th," explained the team manager.
The phase scoring shows Midlothian rocking the visitors back-on-their-heels with a 50-27 domination of the first seven ends but having to battle to edge the second 37-35, then, despite the two big counts for Peacock and Walker, being outgunned 58-42 on the third.
Peacock was in inspirational form to lead 8-1 then later added 4, 3, 2, 1, 1, 2 to stand 21-8 up before skipping Tam Moffat Lindsay Plenderleith and Scott Briggs to a 29-17 win over Raymond Logan.
Walker led 8-1 and 17-9 before a purple patch of 2, 2, 6 helped him skip Jamie Mitchell, Stewart Clark and Ronnie Duncan to a 27-16 victory over John Aitken.
Hodge came under pressure at 15-14 from 14-6 but answered with a 2, 2, (3), 2 finish to skip Mark Yuill, Danny McDougall and Scott Reid to a 21-17 win over Thomas Mann.
Grant Logan helped unnerve the opposition with a run of 2, 1, 1, 2, 4, 1 to cross 21-12 en route to skipping Steven Forrest, Andy Dunnett and Mark Allison to a 24-16 win over Ramsay Blair.
Speirs added to the closing drama with a finishing run of 3, 2, 2, 2, 4 to beat Kevin McDougall 26-19, while Fleming benefited from a 4 at the second last to beat John Stevenson, 20-17.

What is the significance of Hermia and Helena's silence in Act 5, Scene 1 of Shakespeare's A Midsummer Night's Dream?
- print Print
- list Cite
Hermia and Helena become oddly silent in the fifth and final act. Literary critic Shirley Nelson Garner points out that their silence appears to be a statement about their male dominant society, especially found in marriage.
Garner points out that all three couples in the play seem to have become married between the fourth and fifth acts. While the two women were very vocal up until that point, their new silence seems to say that they have found new roles as wives.
In the earlier acts of the play, the two women had absolutely no problems with voicing their opinions. Hermia is even brave enough to express her side of the argument to Theseus. When Theseus points out that Demetrius is a worthy man, Hermia retorts, "So is Lysander" (I.i.54). Helena also has no reservations in expressing her opinion, especially with Demetrius. When Demetrius follows after Hermia and Lysander with the intention of killing Lysander, Helena pursues Demetrius, accusing him of heartlessness and cruelty and adamantly trying to woo him with her strong words of affection. We see her accuse him of heartlessness in her lines:
You draw me, you hard-hearted adamant;
But yet you draw not iron, for my heart
Is true as steel. (II.i.199-201).
We see her try and woo him with words of love in such lines as, "Your virtue is my privilege. For that / It is not night when I do see your face" (224-225).
In both of these instances, both Hermia and Lysander have shown female rebellion against male subordinates. However, Garner points out that their sudden silence after marriage tells the reader that they have accepted their new role as wives, which is to be silent, obedient, and submissive to their husbands.

Charcuterie Board and Cocktail Pairings for your New Year's Bash!
Make your charcuterie board the star of the show on New Year's Eve with festive cocktail pairings and delicious treats!
A couple of days ago it happened. We woke up and it was rainy and 60 degrees. It got dark at 7:30 instead of the 10 p.m. we've been used to. It was fall.
So this weekend, we began lots of fall preparation. We had our seasonal clothes purge. We boxed up all of our plaid shorts, prints, and pulled out our sweaters and boots. We made care packages for our siblings. We bought plane tickets home for the holidays. We even made chili! If I had my head on straight I would have taken photos and written about it, but Dave made the chili and I wasn't feeling super well. Until I had his amazing chili.
I also made cookies, caramels and these:
I may have mentioned that I recently discovered Grape Nuts thanks to my friend's mom coming to town and extolling their virtues. Dave apparently has been a long-time fan and agreed with her. Anywho, we've gone through two boxes since then and bought another to at Target this weekend. And we also decided to make the peanut butter/Grape Nuts bar recipe on the back of the box. They are awesome. /Geekout.
I am so excited for fall. We can eat soup again, guys! And make things with squash and pumpkins! We have birthdays and parents visiting and holidays home to look forward to.
Whoa, whoa, whoa. I have been an evangelist of the virtues of Grape Nuts long before Mama Rubins came to town. These bars were good. Mmm. I hope there's some left tonight.

This is a very nice paper with texturized impressions of metal, a ribbon and recycling paper.
Would have preferred to have the product sold as a left and right hand side, didn't realise that there was this option until after i placed the order
I liked the patterning of the red portion so much I actually bought two sheets so I can cover one scrapbook page with it by cutting off the mouse-side. It's so hard to find subtly patterened reds. If you're doing a Disney page, the mouse heads should be fine.

By: Mike Carter
It's time for another edition of bold predictions, mist of which will not happen this year. Or any year. But let's give it another shot with Spring Training ending this week, and the final positional battles playing themselves out.
First things first, if you disagree with me, please write in the comments. I would love to hear your bold predictions for this coming baseball season.
1.) My first bold prediction: the Atlanta Braves will return to the playoffs this year. Before you guffaw, think about it. They have a solid cornerstone player in Freddie Freeman, who took a jump into the elite first basemen in 2016. They have an up-and-coming star in shortstop Dansby Swanson, who stirs echoes of Derek Jeter with his cool-headed, smart play. He will be the NL Rookie of the Year. They added excellent pieces in Matt Kemp, who is aging yet still powerful, and the experienced Brandon Phillips at second base. Ender Inciarte takes a step forward this year, and the solid defense up the middle solidifies the team while the pitching staff gains more experience pitching in the tough NL East. I don't think they will win the division, but they should contend for a Wild Card spot…especially with Julio Teheran winning the NY Cy Young Award this year. Look for the Braves to be in the mix all year. That's a bold prediction with stalwarts like Clayton Kershaw and Noah Syndergaard in the National League.
2.) Looking for a surprise team in the American League? Kelly will like this one. It's going to be the Seattle Mariners. This team looked prime for battle last season, but didn't quite take the needed steps. This could be the year. With Robinson Cano and Nelson Cruz, they can slug with anyone. Where GM Jerry DiPoto made huge gains this year is in the starting pitching and outfield defense. Felix Hernandez is no longer the King; he's a solid piece in the middle of their rotation. A healthy James Paxton and new acquired Drew Smyly are under-the-radar pieces who will be outstanding this year if they can harness their control. Adding them to Hernandez and Hisashi Iwakuma gives them a deep rotation. And add to that Mitch Haniger, who will be Rookie of the Year in the American League, and the speedy Jarrod Dyson and Jean Segura, and you have the pieces to win the AL West over the favored Houston Astros. Watch and see; these guys are really good.
3.) Speaking of the Astros, they will acquire Jose Quintana and Chris Archer at great cost to go for it all this year. They will give up a king's ransom to get both, with my beloved White Sox getting OF prospect Kyle Tucker and a package of others. I hope the White Sox hold out for Alex Bregman, who is a future star blocked at his best positions by Carlos Correa and Jose Altuve. Please…
4.) AL West will be tough. I believe three team will make the playoffs with the Rangers hosting the Wild Card game against the Astros. Yu Darvish will pitch the Rangers to the victory. During the season I'm picking Darvish to win the AL Cy Young and will strike out at least 300 batters while doing so.
5.) The surprise hitter this year is going to be Tampa Bay's Kevin Kiermaier. While known for his peerless defense in center field, this is the year his bat catches up. I expect upwards of 20 home runs and 30 stolen bases for him. He's a sleeper for those of you in fantasy baseball circles looking for high upside at the end of your drafts this week.
6.) And who will win the biggest prize, this year's World Series? I know they will not be fashionable, but I think the Cleveland Indians end their drought this year. They were very close to beating another team that ended a 108 year dry run of their own last year, the Chicago Cubs. If the Indians starting pitching gets healthy, and the bats keep up, they should be the best team in the AL. Remember, they got to extra innings in Game Seven last year using a patchwork staff that faltered in the last week. The health of Carlos Carrasco and Danny Salazar, backed by a stalwart bullpen of Cody Allen and Andrew Miller, gives them the depth needed for a lengthy playoff run. They upgraded their offense with Edwin Encarnacion. They will do so again when they acquire Charlie Blackmon or Carlos Gonzalez from the Colorado Rockies and add to their solid core. The pundits are saying they are tired, but remember, their core guys were hurt at the end last year. Jason Kipnis played on one leg and besides Corey Kluber, they were missing their best starting pitchers. Who knows? Anything can happen in this greatest game in the world.
7.) Who will represent the National League? It's wide open over there. The Cubs should be outstanding again, but do they have the rotation depth if someone goes down or is ineffective? Their lineup can mash with anyone. For the sake of making a prediction, I will pick the San Francisco Giants to again be in the World Series. So that's it. The Indians versus the Giants. I most certainly will be wrong. But let's revisit in November!
8.) A bold prediction for a team that be will be disappointing is the Boston Red Sox. Losing David Ortiz to retirement will hurt as he had one of his best seasons last year. David Price is hurt and is going to miss at least a month. Rick Porcello will come back to earth and Chris Sale is going to struggle in his 1st year at Fenway. I can see him giving up a ton of doubles off the Green Monster. Their bullpen is weaker, Tyler Thornburg is also hurt and Craig Kimbrel is starting to look human. After saying all that I think Mookie Betts will be in the MVP conversation again. That guy is a stud.
9). And one final bold prediction: the Angels of Anaheim will entertain trade offers for the best player in baseball, Mike Trout…who will end up playing for…wait for it…the New York Yankees.
Enjoy this last week of Spring Training. And good luck to your team this year! Happy days are here again as the marathon baseball season is set to begin anew!

Map uploaded on March 6, 2016.
Bear Swamp State Forest is covers 3,316 acres in Cayuga County in the Finger Lakes State Forest. This should not be confused with the similarly named state forest in Otsego County.
The forest is known for its nordic ski trail, and its large wetland and creek that bisect the forest. The ski trail system, over 13 miles in length, was developed with volunteer help in the 1980's. The trail has become increasingly popular, and was improved in 1993 by DEC. There is also a long multiple use trail on the forest here on can mountain bike, hike, snowmbile or horseback ride. Parts of this trail are accessbile for those with mobility issues.

Johnston leaving MWR at season's end
Crew chief Chad Johnston has asked for his release from Michael Waltrip Racing at the end of the 2013 season.
The news of his departure comes after a tumultuous month that included the No. 56 team's ejection from the Chase for the Sprint Cup and NAPA's subsequent termination of sponsorship.
Johnston remains committed to driver Martin Truex Jr. and the No. 56 team and intends to battle for wins in the next seven races. But with two children and another on the way, the 33-year-old engineer turned crew chief must consider his options.
"Everything is uncertain," Johnston told FOX Sports on Saturday at Kansas Speedway. "Obviously, we're kind of in limbo right now, so everyone is minding their P's and Q's right now and getting something lined up for next year.
"At the end of the day, we have to support our families and it's a livelihood for us. It's a well-known fact that we need to be looking. I just want to do it the right way."
Last weekend at Dover International Speedway, MWR majority team owner Rob Kauffman said he was "working on a plan" and added it was premature to comment on whether the organization would feature two or three teams in 2014 or on the status of the No. 56's employees.
Though Johnston hasn't received any concrete offers, in a perfect world he would prefer to remain with Truex and his current crew. Since coming on board as the engineer under Pat Tryson in 2010, the Indiana State graduate believes he has built a solid foundation for a perennial Chase-contending team.
"We take pride in what we do here," Johnston said. "We all want to be successful. I told Martin a long time ago that if I was going to be mediocre at this, that I would go do something else rather than be gone from my family every weekend – I'd go sell lumber or shoes somewhere. We don't do this to be mediocre.
"These guys put a lot of heart in it. They sacrifice a lot to do it. They don't deserve to be mediocre. I have high expectations of myself, and expect a lot and expect to be competitive – if not then something needs to change."
When Johnston inherited the team toward the end of the 2010 season, Truex was 22nd in points. Johnston has since led the No. 56 into the playoffs for the first time in 2012, ended Truex's losing streak of 218 races and nearly duplicated the Chase run this season – until the organization was busted after Richmond for actions detrimental to the sport in what was deemed manipulating the outcome of the event.
After the crew's 50-point penalty from Richmond, Truex fell to 17th in the standings. He has gained one position after his top-10 finish at New Hampshire two races ago.
"We've definitely been more consistent," Johnston said. "We've been in contention to win races and lead laps. We made the Chase last year – then obviously what happened this year, we've been in contention both years. We've strung together top fives and top 10s, which we hadn't been able to do that in the past. So we got NAPA back into victory lane in Sonoma, which was good.
"When I first came over, 15th to 20th was a good day for us. Now, if we're not in the top five, we're kind of disappointed. Since we're consistently been running better, the expectations in the group got higher as well."
The Cayuga, Ind., native's career started in aerospace engineering, but his love of racing carried him to NASCAR and the truck series in 2004. By 2005, Johnston had moved on to Evernham Motorsports, where he remained until the company was sold. In 2009, Johnston joined MWR, where he's been since.
"We've got such a great group of guys here," Johnston said. "It would be awesome to keep everyone together. I haven't worked a lot of places, but this is by far the best group I have in terms of talent and how everyone gets along and everyone's approach. We have a lot of fun when it's time to have fun, but when it's time to get down to business it's all business."

Relatedness of Given Names
As a result of the author's need for help in finding a given name for the unborn baby, the Nameling, a search engine for given names, based on data from the "Social Web" was born.

Hailing from Gadsen, Alabama, Highly Kind brings a special Southern flavor to their laidback disc, Don't Wake Albert.
A beguiling quartet that can invigorate a composition like the playful interpretation of Randall Bramblett and Davis Causey's "Don't Wake Elvis" with power driven percussion from drummer Duane Trucks, Highly Kind offers shining hope for the future of rhythm and soul from 'Bama. "Have a Little Faith" concentrates on the songwriting skills of leader Albert Simpson and the instinctive ebb and flow of Kevin Scott on bass. "You Think You Know Someone" is a straightforward examination of the heart's journey and travails with keyboardist Trey Evans' organ lines pushed to the forefront of the sound mix.
Produced by Johnny Sandlin (The Allman Brothers Band, Widespread Panic) and recorded at his Duck Tape Studios in Decatur, Alabama, Highly Kind's Don't Wake Albert reawakens the country to the simple pleasures existing inside a finely written and performed tune with extra helpings of slide on the side.

It seems that Vijay Mallya debt fiasco has become an interesting topic for study.
Mallya, who had once given a lecture in IIM-Kolkata, ran away from the country with overdue of Rs 9,000 crore debt and its interest to various banks.

The students will also be taught on how stakeholders are affected with such cases, sources at IIM-A told TOI.
The sources further said that the post-graduate students in finance and accounting faculty are likely to study the case of Mallya, which has already been discussed in the classroom by students and their faculties.

Recent technological advances have led to changes in how instruction is delivered. Such technology can create opportunities to enhance instruction and make instructors more efficient in performing instructional tasks, especially if the technology is easy to use and requires no training. One such technology, web-based survey software, is extremely accessible for anyone with basic computer skills. Web-based survey software can be used for a variety of instructional purposes to streamline instructor tasks, as well as enhance instruction and communication with students. Following a brief overview of the technology, we discuss how Web Forms from nTreePoint can be used to conduct instructional surveys, collect course feedback, conduct peer evaluations of group work, collect completed assignments, schedule meeting times among multiple people, and aid in pedagogical research. We also discuss our experiences with these tasks within traditional on-campus courses and how they were enhanced or expedited by the use of web-based survey software.

Simulation League
Without the neccessity to maintain any robot hardware, the RoboCup Simulation League's focus comprises artificial intelligence and team strategy.
Thus, in Simulation League two teams of eleven autonomous software programs (called agents) each play soccer in a two-dimensional virtual soccer stadium represented by a central server, called SoccerServer. This server knows everything about the game, i.e. the current position of all players and the ball, the physics and so on. The game further relies on the communication between the server and each agent. On the one hand each player receives relative and noisy input of his virtual sensors (visual, acustic and physical) and may on the other hand perform some basic commands (like dashing, turning or kicking) in order to influence its environment.
The big challenge in the Simulation League is to conclude from all possible world states (derived from the sensor input by calculating a sight on the world as absolute and noise-free as possible) to the best possible action to execute. As a game is divided into 6000 cycles this task has to be accomplished in time slot of 100 ms (the length of each cycle). Further information and the SoccerServer software can be accessed via http://sserver.wiki.sourceforge.net

Jim Harbaugh: 10 Reasons Why the 49ers Job Is a Better Move Than MichiganJanuary 3, 2011
Jim Harbaugh: 10 Reasons Why the 49ers Job Is a Better Move Than Michigan
Jim Harbaugh is at the top of the list for the San Francisco 49ers' vacant head coaching gig, but they'll be getting some heavy competition from the University of Michigan.
Harbaugh is one of the hottest head coaching candidates in the NFL, and he'll have his pick between two very prestigious organizations.
While Harbaugh would have many perks and opportunities with Michigan, the San Francisco 49ers head coaching position is a much better job.
10. He Can Join His Brother in the NFL Head Coaching Fraternity
The NFL head coaching fraternity is an exclusive list. Jim Harbaugh would finally have an opportunity to join that very list and become part of a much bigger organization.
While there is a lot of turnover at the coaching position in the NFL, the opening in San Francisco presents a very attractive option for Harbaugh.
Jim's brother, John, has had tremendous success through his first three years in the NFL, and there's no reason to think that Jim cannot replicate some of that with the right pieces in place.
9. He Doesn't Have to Go Very Far
San Francisco is about a 37-mile drive north of Palo Alto.
If he were to take on the 49ers' head coaching gig, he wouldn't even have to move his family anywhere.
The drive is less than an hour, and the commute allows him to stay where he feels the most comfortable.
If he were to take on the Michigan job, he'd have to move his family to another state, and a very cold one at that.
Would you leave the sun and warm weather for clouds and cold winds?
8. NFL Is More Glamorous
Football is the most popular sport in the United States, and the NFL is the most popular league.
Sure, college football is on the national stage and has a strong fanbase, but it doesn't match up to the pro ranks.
The NFL enjoys much more success, popularity, media coverage and praise than any other league in the United States.
7. He Wouldn't Have to Deal with the Bowl System
The bowl system in place for college football is broken and needs to be replaced.
On a year-to-year basis, the best team across the college landscape is never truly determined without a playoff system.
If Harbaugh opted for the NFL, he wouldn't have to deal with all the shady politics and general ineptness of the bowl system.
6. He Can Carry on Bill Walsh's Legacy
The legendary Bill Walsh cut his teeth at Stanford before making his way to the San Francisco 49ers.
While with the 49ers, Walsh put his stamp on the league with a Hall of Fame career that saw him walk away with three Super Bowl victories from his first and only head coaching gig in the NFL.
Jim Harbaugh also happens to utilize a "West Coast offense" much like Walsh. While there are some fundamental differences between Walsh and Harbaugh's systems, the philosophy is generally the same.
Harbaugh may be the man to return the San Francisco 49ers to glory.
5. Opens Up More Doors
If Jim Harbaugh were to enjoy success as an NFL head coach, it could potentially pave the way for more opportunities that he wouldn't have with Michigan.
Down the line, Harbaugh may have a chance to take up an executive front office position with an NFL team—a position that could keep him involved in football but away from the stressful position of head coach.
4. He Already Runs a Pro-Style System
Jim Harbaugh employs a pro-style offense that would make his transition to the NFL seamless. He runs the popular "West Coast offense" that has seen great success in the NFL.
His style is not predicated on option plays and spread offenses, which separates him from most college coaches.
The NFL generally focuses on the passing attack, and Harbaugh may have an opportunity to groom his very own quarterback.
3. 49ers Have a Good Foundation in Place
Despite the San Francisco 49ers' poor season, the team has a solid foundation in place for whoever takes over as head coach.
The defense is anchored by arguably the best linebacker in the NFL in Patrick Willis, and the offense features dynamic playmakers in Frank Gore, Vernon Davis and Michael Crabtree.
The main issue lies at the quarterback position, which could be answered in one of two ways. First, they could go after someone like Donovan McNabb or Kevin Kolb. If Harbaugh is uninterested in either of them, they could opt to draft a quarterback, where he would have the opportunity to mold him to his liking.
2. NFC West Is Wide Open
The NFC West not only has the first sub-.500 team to win the division, but also the first to get into the NFL playoffs with a losing record.
The NFC West is by far the weakest division in the NFL, and prior to the start of the season the San Francisco 49ers were widely considered to be the top dog.
If Jim Harbaugh were able to make improvements over Mike Singletary, the division could be theirs for the taking.
1. NFL Is More Rewarding
Super Bowl or college football national championship? Would you even have to think twice about which of the two is the better prize?
All the bowl games being added to the schedule dilute the appeal of winning a bowl game even more.
Success in college football doesn't come even remotely close to being as rewarding as enjoying success in the NFL.

Publication Abstract
Authors: Grigsby TJ, Kent EE, Montoya MJ, Sender LS, Morris RA, Ziogas A, Anton-Culver H
Title: Attitudes Toward Cancer Clinical Trial Participation in Young Adults with a History of Cancer and a Healthy College Student Sample: A Preliminary Investigation.
Journal: J Adolesc Young Adult Oncol 3(1):20-27
Date: 2014 Mar 01
Abstract: Purpose: Adolescents and young adults (AYAs) aged 15-39 at diagnosis have very low cancer clinical trial accrual rates. To date, no studies have examined attitudes toward clinical trial participation in this age range to determine if certain individuals are less likely to enroll if offered participation. The current study assessed attitudes toward participation using the Cancer Treatment Subscale of the Attitudes toward Cancer Trials Scales. Methods: Data were collected from a sample of leukemia and lymphoma survivors (n=99) and a healthy college student sample (n=397). Following a principal components analysis, two subscales-Personal Barriers/Safety and Personal Benefits-were retained for analysis. Results: In the cancer survivor group, only 14 (13.3%) reported being offered participation in a cancer clinical trial, and only 8 of those 14 (7.6% of survivors) participated. Responses from leukemia and lymphoma survivors revealed no significant relationships between age, gender, race/ethnicity, clinical trial participation, insurance status, or social class with Personal Benefits or Personal Barriers/Safety. Healthy college females had more negative Personal Barriers/Safety attitudes compared to males after adjusting for race/ethnicity and social class (p=0.01), but no associations were present when examining Personal Benefits as an outcome. Conclusion: This preliminary investigation suggests that drivers of attitudes toward clinical trial participation in AYAs are not well understood and may impact cancer trial participation. Future work should focus on defining attitudes toward cancer clinical trials in the AYA population and developing interventions to increase awareness, knowledge, and positive attitudes toward participating in cancer research.

I went into this week with a lot of excitement, and a lot of dread. I was so looking forward to living in our new house that we had just purchased, but totally dreading the actual move. I did really well with my weigh in last week, and I was nervous that the chaos of moving would affect my eating plan. I knew I'd stockpiled some of the Nutrisystem Apple Strudel bars for breakfast so that I would have a quick, easy to grab meal first thing in the morning. These are so, so good. They're one of Andrew's favorites, too!
Knowing that I had my food at the ready helped a lot with the anxiety of this move. Was I totally perfect this week? Unfortunately, no. It was the final day of the move, and Andrew and I had done it entirely on our own, with no one to help with either the move or the three kids. We were so incredibly worn out, physically and emotionally. So, we went out to In-N-Out and had burgers and fries. It certainly wasn't on plan, but man, it hit the spot! I will say that the next few days were filled with some worry about how that cheat would affect my weigh in for the week. The sodium itself was probably more than I'm allowed in a day!
I don't have a ton of news on the running front since I haven't had a chance to map out a new route in our new neighborhood. I'm so ready to get it figured out, though! I've found that I get really crabby when I don't get a chance to work out. Again, another reason I was nervous for this week's weigh in! I just did my best to make sure I drank buckets of water. It wasn't really that hard since it was 108 degrees while we moved. Yucktastic.
The Weigh In
This week, I lost 1.4 pounds, weighing in at 192.4! That's 15 pounds — GONE! Andrew lost 3 pounds this week, bringing his total to 18 pounds! So see? Even with the most hectic week ever where I didn't even get a chance to run, we lost weight on Nutrisystem!
As always, you can check out all of my weight loss related posts here.

PLEASE post the URL for your video once you make it. PLEASE! I'd probably even suscribe if it was good!
| Athena3306 chapter 3 . 8/8/2013
I think that Alexandra Daddario was perfect for the part as Annabeth
| reboo345 chapter 3 . 2/28/2011
This was sooo mean! How could you insult the movie like that? I mean, like, the guys were sooo hot in it! That was the best part (seriously there was no good part of that movie(, duh!
Soo anyway, this is hilarious please, please, don't stop here! Btw what is the Percy head hypnotic swirl thing? Please answer that I really want to know!
| Crazy LOTR and PJATO chapter 3 . 10/24/2010
This is too funny! I haven't laughed this hard in ages! The Percy Jackson movie did suck. I could've written,directed, and chosen the cast for the movie better...and i'm 11!
| ErisLeaf chapter 3 . 2/26/2010
Funny thing is, the movie was worse and not nearly as amusing. Thalia doesn't even exist!
| bluepianos chapter 3 . 1/31/2010
Hahahaha. I swear. This really is very funny. The best part is, though, that it PERFECTLY refers to the movie. Your summary said EVERYTHING about the movie. It'll obviously be awful and half of it is ruined.
-Quick Rant-
Okay. Everyone knows "Annabeth" is ruined. The hair! Seriously? *shakes head in incredible disappointment at Lord Colombus* Shame. We love her so much. And Percy has a tattoo? I don't recall him having a tattoo! And... why are they all 17-18 looking? These are CHILDREN who are supposed to be TWELVE. And Poseidon? Where the hell are his khaki pants and laid-back qualities? And I DO recall that in the books, Grover's supposed to be WHITE (not being racist by the way. Brandon T. Jackson OWNS. He really is an awesome guy.) And Annabeth and Percy falling in love ALREADY? They're supposed to hate each other with intense loathing! -.- And the hydra? Was there even a hydra! ...Maybe there was. But there was no HYDRA in a MUSEUM was there?
-End of Actually Long Rant-
There's a lot more that I can say about the movie that I am incredibly disappointed about but hey, I, like many other fans, am a truly loyal fan of the book series and I can't wait to see the movie, to be perfectly honest. It'll be nice to see the difference and test who really IS loyal to the series that the genius Rick Riordan wrote, and who really just wants to check out Logan Lerman or see Sean Bean, Kevin McKidd and Pierce Brosnan in action.
I just like this fic ... well ... I just DO like it. It's refreshing to see someone have fun with something a lot of people hate and make people LAUGH wholeheartedly about it. It's not even hurtful. -Okay, the Alex Daddario thing might be hurtful to her but... but... who the Hades CARES! They didn't make her blonde!
But anyway. They make me so mad!
And this fic just made me laugh about it. So good job, continue, and if you want more reviews, you should add more chapters and keep the hypnotic Percy head spinning. Maybe make Percy likable. Stupid, but likable. At least then the Audience can find a way to get ONE of the cast on their side. I mean, Logan was an OKAY choice. A little old but, hey, no one can stay young for too long, eh?
Hope the long review was satisfying.
| lollidella-vip chapter 1 . 10/16/2009
oh the gods, this story never gets old...
Percy- Now, I assume we need to get to (looks directly at camera and whispers in a secret-spy way) Camp Demigod?
keep up the good work! :)
| AuraBorealis-NorthernLights chapter 3 . 10/14/2009
Ok so I'm actually looking forward to the movie, but this is funny and refreshing. Plus I agree, the books are SO much better than the movies.
| lollidella-vip chapter 2 . 9/16/2009
haha, this is how i feel about the cast so much! lol. i think they should re-do the whole cast except for percy...do not ask...i want logan to stay...

Are You Suffering From SMO – Social Media Overwhelm?
How can you tell? Ask yourself these three quick questions about your social media efforts.
1. Are you beginning to dread social media marketing because it eats up so much of your time?
2. Are tweets, posts, updates, finding great images cutting into your other business obligations like payroll, inventory, proposals, etc.?
3. Do you find yourself wondering if the S and M in social media really stands for sadistic and masochistic tendencies?
Well, if any of these statements rings true, then you need to listen up while I share some thoughts about you get rid of social media overwhelm.
1. Is social media a good fit?
Should you even be on social media?
If your best customers are not on or active in social media, then why are you? It doesn't make a lot of sense to spin your wheels to reach them in a place they don't visit.
That said, it would be difficult not to find one's audience on one of the social media platforms. So, you may want to read more before chucking social media marketing.
2. Don't use ALL of the tools in the tool box.
If you sink overflows, you don't use a screwdriver to unplug it, do you? You use the plunger or a snake to unclog it. You use the right tool to do the job.
So it should be with social media. You only need the specific social media tool that fits your audience – everything else is superfluous.
Too many business owners are trying to cover all of the bases for fear they might lose out on someone.
You simply don't have the bandwidth to run a business well and to be on ALL of the social media platforms as well.
Instead, be selective about your audience and about your social media engagement.
3. Take control
This may surprise some of you, but there is no law that says social media marketing needs to be 7/24/365. Rather, there is great wisdom in the saying "less is more".
You don't have to blog 5 days a week when once a week is enough. You don't HAVE to be on Facebook or any of the social media platforms every day.
Select the day or days of the week that makes sense for you and your work schedule. Your online audience will learn your schedule and when they can expect to see you online.
4. Get organized
Mental clutter can push our buttons big time and trying to be witty on a dime is a challenge and best left for the pros.
Better to create a social media marketing schedule of what you want to say, share, post, tweet and when so it becomes a much easier and less time consuming process.
5. Automate
There are oodles and oodles of automation tools out there and most are free. There's Hootsuite, Buffer, Friends+Me and the list goes on and on. Use them.
6. Don't do it – Outsource it
It's not ideal, but if you have the resources to hire a social media pro and your time can be spent doing more important things – outsource it. Perhaps you only need them to do the posting and sharing, while you handle questions and direct customer interactions.
Whatever you do, don't turn the keys to your social media accounts over to a stranger or a high school intern and assume they'll do a good job. You need to hire a pro. And even with a pro, you need to monitor their activities.
Your online marketing efforts are a reflection of your brand. If your social media manager doesn't understand your brand, you need to find someone who does.
7. Don't sweat it
Put social media in perspective. Recognize that social media is for the long-haul and that your efforts will yield results over time.
You don't want to ignore social media or play a disappearing act on your audience. But the world will not end if you miss a post or a tweet. You can always pick-up from where you left off.
Are you currently suffering from SMO? If so, share your suggestions and ideas as to how to make social media more manageable for others.

Net Applications' September 2011 report comparing the mainline browsers just released is reporting that Microsft Windows Internet Explorer 9 continues its growth this month as more and more people are switching to the latest version of IE9.
"As of the end of September, IE9 now holds 31% share on Windows 7 in the United States. Worldwide, IE9 is 22% of all usage share on Windows 7. Share of worldwide browsing of Windows 7 also grew in September, passing 30% with 30.4% of worldwide browsing share," revealed Net Apps.
Skipping XP support, Microsoft has been pushing Internet Explorer 9 and Windows 7 as the best browsing experience on Windows 7 because of IE9's use of hardware acceleration and its integration with the Windows 7 user interface.
A lot of IE9's progress on Windows 7 has come from sites encouraging their customers to pin IE9 to their taskbar.

Long Term KH Sustainability
Alka-Haul Freshwater is a complete multi-source alkalinity buffer that promotes slow depletion, keeping KH values balanced longer than any other buffer. A complete formula, it also boosts the biological integrity of the system by provid-ing its fundamental building blocks.
226.8 grams
Biological Acceleration
Alkalinity benefits living organisms in a variety of ways. From improved plant and microbial functions to how fish respond to stress, alkalinity is key. Alka-Haul is complete with beneficial sources of alkalinity that will get the job done. Because it is infused with calcium carbonate, it is ideal to use with ATM Agent Green for fast phosphate removal.
- Multi-Source Alkalinity Buffering
- Enhances All Biological Activity
- Calcium And Magnesium Infused
- Effectively "Ages" Purified Water
ATM Colony's Helper
Because ATM Colony requires alkalinity levels to be 90 or above for optimal conditions, Alka-Haul Freshwater cures low alkalinity conditions or when R/O water is used to enable bio-filtration.
"We cycled 40 display tanks in our showroom with Colony and swear by it."Matt Frye
"Colony is our best selling product and our clients have been really happy with it."Jose Avila
Dosage for Alka-Haul Freshwater couldn't be easier. Its professional concentration raises KH 17.9 (or 1 dKH) in 55 liters of water.

When i create a new container using docker run the process gets weirdly slow (~ 3+ hours) when this call includes a volume with many small files (~1.5M files, total size 25 gb). The call i am using follows this form:
docker run --name testainer -d -v data:/home/pub -p 3838:3838 image/own
weirdly the container is instantly there (~1 sec) when i mount the corresponding host folder istead of the named volume:
docker run --name testainer -d -v /var/lib/docker/volumes/data/_data:/home/pub -p 3838:3838 image/own
Is there anything i can do to speed up the container creation with named volumes?
I am running coreOS 899.15.0 stable with Docker 1.9.1.
The volume performance issue is a know issue. Refer
I don't think either of those posts are relevant: the first is specific to boot2docker, and the second the Docker for Mac beta; the OP is running real native Docker on Linux. (Also, the OP finds things go faster using a bind-mounted host directory, which is the opposite of the Docker for Mac giant issue.)
Seeing a copy of the Dockerfile would be helpful. When you say the volume has many small files, do you mean you declare a VOLUME in the Dockerfile and prepopulate it? I think the behavior of those two docker run -v invocations is very different: the first creates a new Docker-internal volume and copies the existing content into it, the second just uses a host directory as is.
docker run -v
That is: I think it's likely that the time difference is entirely attributable to having to copy those 1.5M files out of the image and into the volume. You might try `docker run -v data:/home/pub:nocopy' and see if that's faster, even if it's missing the content.
(And you probably know this, but it's generally a bad idea to directly use anything inside the /var/lib/docker tree.)
Could be because of the file size total of 25 GB in the volume. Run the same command but without any files in the volume. Does it still take more than a few seconds?
I edited the first post, because i forgot the colon in the first docker run command. So i am not actually creating a volume, but just linking a named one.
docker run
You are absolutely right @dmaze, the posts above are not relevant. I am aware of the boot2docker issue, but this issue here should not be connected to this.
I did not create a VOLUME in a Dockerfile so there is nothing to show here, i just created it manually with docker volume create --name data and created the files while working with another container.
docker volume create --name data
Can you epxplain while the first run command creates an new volume and copies the files - or was this just because of the missing colon? Just to be clear, the files are not part of the image, but reside in the already created named volume.
I tried to run the command with the nocopy flag, but all i get is this:
invalid value "data:/home/pub:nocopy" for flag -v: bad mode specified: nocopy
invalid value "data:/home/pub:nocopy" for flag -v: bad mode specified: nocopy
Mounting from the var/lib/docker tree was only for testing purposes and reference.
@dvohra Mounting an empty volume is of course blazing fast. Why would the size of the volume affect the runtime of the docker runcommand - this seems to be irrelevant when mounting host-directories directly?
In my eyes the behaviour is not reasonable. If i am wrong i would gladly appreciate any explanations - otherwise i am filing a bug report in the github repo.

Because a Docker container has its own filesystem, which limits the size of the volume it is able to mount.

A few days ago, the New York Times reported on the FBI excusing itself for not preventing the Boston bombings:
WASHINGTON — The F.B.I. has concluded that there was little its agents could have done to prevent the Boston Marathon bombings, according to law enforcement officials, rejecting criticism that it could have better monitored one of the suspects before the attack.
That conclusion is based on several internal reviews that examined how the bureau handled a request from a Russian intelligence agency in 2011 to investigate whether one of the suspects, Tamerlan Tsarnaev, had been radicalized during his time in the United States.
And why couldn't the FBI—with its massive surveillance powers and partnership with the NSA—have "better monitored" Tamerlan Tsarnaev? Because it doesn't have enough surveillance powers!
F.B.I. officials have concluded that the agents who conducted the investigation and ultimately told the Russians that there was no evidence that Mr. Tsarnaev had become radicalized were constrained from conducting a more extensive investigation because of federal laws and Justice Department protocols.
Expect to see this argument elaborated in the future: "Think we've got so much secret surveillance power that we're violating the Fourth Amendment on an hourly basis? Think again! The truth is, we've got so little secret surveillance power that we can't protect you!"
The FBI, according to the article, has refused three requests to testify before the House Homeland Security Committee to testify about the attack, saying it does not comment on open investigations.
At any rate, the issue isn't whether the FBI could have prevented the bombings or not—predicting crimes, no matter what one's surveillance resources, is dicey business. The issue is how they're framing the violence to say that they maybe could have prevented the attack, if only they had more surveillance powers.
