Lithium Exploration Group (OTCBB: LEXG.OB) (OTCQB: LEXG.OB) announced today that it is actively pursuing the acquisition of an oil and gas asset in Alberta, Canada.
Online PR News – 19-September-2012 – SCOTTSDALE – SCOTTSDALE, Ariz., Sept. 19, 2012 /PRNewswire/ -- Lithium Exploration Group (OTCBB: LEXG.OB) (OTCQB: LEXG.OB) announced today that it is actively pursuing the acquisition of an oil and gas asset in Alberta, Canada. This acquisition will speed up the development of a pilot plant at the company's Valleyview Project and will provide a steady stream of revenue to the company during the development phase of the project and technology testing.
"Our strategy has always been to vertically integrate our Valleyview Project through the acquisition of an oil and gas asset. This will provide immediate revenue while we begin to monetize the produced water (brine) by separating the valuable minerals prior to disposal," commented CEO Alex Walsh. "Without our own asset, we would have to spend months in the permitting process and duplicate much of the infrastructure needed to set up our pilot plant. An acquisition overlaying our MAIM (metallic and industrial mineral) permits in Alberta will provide immediate revenue and save us millions in development costs. Any acquisition will, of course, be dependent upon financing. We will be able to tie up a property in escrow and have already begun discussions with investment bankers and potential partners to evaluate properties that will be coming up for sale in the near future."
About Us

What questions would I like to ask to really good 2h frost players?
-I feel that I'm executing the priority described in elitist jerks and similar guides very well but I think there's room for improvement. So I'm curious to ask you if there's anything you'd recommend someone do that isn't shown in those guides?
What I'm doing:
-prepot and then pop army before boss, then PoF+synapse, then ghoul, then outbreak at the start of almost every fight (will is probably the only exception)
-I feel like the two biggest areas I mess up on (especially on fights I'm not familiar with) is cooldown usage and accidentally using KM procs on frost strike. I did maybe 10 pulls on Lei Shei normal tonight and the randomness of phases on that fight made me waste PoF a few times. And I find sometimes I get into a good groove of KM procs being used on obliterate almost every time but then sometimes a proc happens just as I'm hitting frost strike and it gets used and then throws off the "rhythm". Do you guys ever delay a frost strike or obliterate slightly just to try to get a KM proc at the right time?
-I try to pop my ghoul after having popped PoF+ synapse every time... I usually try to delay the ghoul slightly if I have to wait for PoF to come off CD
-I'm using mrunes and weak auras to manage my runes, runic power, diseases (mrunes) and cooldowns (weak auras)
-I try to use KM procs only with obliterate... aiming to find a "rhythm" where I do a quick frost strike in between my obliterates if I'm at 70-90+ RP and no frost striking if I'm below 70ish and have runes to use
here is the priority I outlined in a guild app I put in a few days ago:
What is your spell/ability rotation or priority order? Include important cooldowns both offensive and defensive. Be as detailed as possible.
2h single target priority
1. If enemy is below 35% hp, soul reaper because there is a secondary effect where after a few seconds a target below 35% hp takes additional damage from soul reaper.
2. disease maintenance because your obliterate won't hit as hard if your diseases are off the target.
3. If killing machine has procced, you obliterate regardless of how much runic power you have (even if you're capped). This ability hits so hard that wasting the runic power that could have been used on a frost strike doesn't matter when compared with the damage done by making sure you use your KM prob on an obliterate.
4. Howling blast if rime has procced. Since howling blast doesn't produce any runic power any more, using it over a frost strike when runic power is capped does not produce any wasted resources.
5. Frost strike if RP is over 76. When you obliterate you generate 24 runic power. So if your runic power is over 76 and you obliterate there is going to be excess runic power that does not get put on your bar and is wasted. Therefore you want to frost strike when theres no procs and you are above 76 runic power and the boss is not below 35% hp (or is below 35% but soul reaper is on CD) and diseases are up. 6. Obliterate if you have the runes, no procs up, below 76 runic power, diseases up, and boss not below 35% hp or if soul reaper is on CD while boss is below 35% hp.
7. Frost strike if no runes are up, or even if you have a KM proc BUT you won't have the runes to use it for 6 seconds, no rime proc.
8. horn of winter
Cooldown usage
Generally at the start of the fight before pull, I will prepot at 5 seconds, pop army after (so that the ghouls get the strength buff), then moving into boss I will cast pillar of frost and my synapse springs and next my big ghoul (so that the big ghoul gets the strength benefits of all the aforementioned strength buffs), then I cast outbreak on the boss to apply diseases and then obliterate and get into my priority listed above. If there is a period of high magical damage I will use anti magic shell to reduce my damage taken and if I have specced into it for that fight I will pop anti magic zone if the raid needs it. Some fights I'm specced into death's advance and some others chillbains. If specced into death's advance I will use that when I need a period of increased movements speed.
2h multi target priority
1. Spread diseases. I will either pop unholy blight which does an aoe disease spreading around me for 10 seconds, or I will outbreak and then use pestilence.
2. Howling blast
3. Death and decay
4. Obliterate if I get a KM proc
5. Frost strike if RP is capped or getting close to capped. One thing I'm going to start working on is trying to keep 1 UH rune off CD so that runic empowerment will proc a frost or death run which gives more howling blast spam.

Camp officially started this evening as Andy Reid addressed the media at a press conference near the practice fields.
The beat guys have you covered on the important stuff: check out reports from both Birds' Eye View and Eagletarian.
The whole introductory press conference thing is an interesting exercise. Media gather in a tent next to the fields at Lehigh.
The head coach gets driven up in a white GMC Yukon, gets out, answers questions and then hops back in the SUV. And that's it.
My favorite part of the press conference was when Reid said he actually texts quite a bit. I remember someone asked Joe Paterno once about text messaging, as it pertained to recruits, and he thought it was a "tech message" not a "text message."
As for Reid, he said texting is as far as he'll go right now. No Facebook or Twitter accounts quite yet. Too bad.
It was interesting to see what the veteran reporters asked Reid. They do this year in and year out in late July. At one point, Reid was asked how much longer he wants to coach.
"Listen, I haven't thought about that," he said. "I haven't thought about how long I want to go."
He went on to praise Philadelphia and said he's just focused on Tuesday.
I mentioned last month that I was reading War Without Death: A Year of Extreme Competition in Pro Football's NFC East. In the book, Mark Maske discussed the process Jeffrey Lurie and Joe Banner went through when they hired Reid. I remember thinking Reid would be the head coach of the Eagles until he decided he didn't want to be here anymore.
Of course, things can change quickly with a couple losing seasons, but that's the way it appears as he begins his 11th season with the Birds.
Some other thoughts from today:
** A week ago, if I would have told you Todd Pinkston would be here the first day, but Jeremy Maclin would not, you would have told me I was nuts.
** To continue the bizzaro theme, Pinkston has apparently put on a few, and Reid has dropped some lbs.
** Maclin's absence becomes more of a big deal as each day passes. That much is clear. Normally when two sides say publicly that they're confident a deal will get done, it gets done. Reid seemed to be walking a fine line at his press conference. He wanted to make it clear that Maclin needs to be in camp. But he didn't want to overreact since the team hasn't had a practice yet. It will be interesting to see if the tone changes should Maclin still be absent later this week.
** Guys I'm excited to see live Tuesday: LeSean McCoy, Cornelius Ingram and Sean McDermott.
** Thumbs up to Wegman's. There's one five minutes from our hotel. I feel like I could go there every day during camp for dinner and not have the same meal twice.
** Thumbs down to the Sunoco at the Allentown Service Area. Slowest gas pump I've ever used. Must have been there a good five minutes without filling up even half the tank.
** On Monday, the first practice starts at 8:45. We'll be Tweeting, doing video, photos, blog posts, etc.
** Below is our first video Q&A. Bob Brookover provides insight on Reid's press conference and Maclin's absence.

Reducing OS Boot Times for In-Car Computer Applications, Part III
This is the final article in a three-part series (see Resources) on reducing boot times for in-car computers. The impetus for the project has been my company, CarBot, where we're trying to get computer hardware to behave as it should in a car. In the previous two articles, I discussed a range of solutions for solving the problem of slow boots. In the months since those articles were written, we've thoroughly explored the possibility of using a BIOS replacement on the VIA Epia-M boards in an attempt to reduce boot times to the theoretical minimum. During this time, we've also discovered some hacks that can be used to minimize the effect of boot times on the user experience.
In our earlier articles, we compared the unnecessarily slow boot process to that of a car radio. The car radio boot times have climbed from nearly instant in the 1980s to several seconds today, but they still are rapid enough to be hardly noticeable. If you watch a modern radio right after you start the engine, you may see it do a small power-on self test, flash all the lights on the unit--much as dashboards in many cars do--and then power on the amplifier, producing sound within a second or two.
We decided to use the radio as our benchmark of rapid usability and appliance-like behavior. We attempted to minimize the following two variables: time from computer power-on to video and time from computer power-on to audio.
Our testing rationale was if we can minimize the time before the arrival of audio and video in the boot process, we later can optimize our software so that whatever the user was seeing and hearing last can be restored. This is what a radio does, this is what a television does, this is what a computer should do.
It takes users a couple of seconds to orient themselves to the task at hand, such as configuring a car computer. If the screen looked like it did the last time they shut it off, it at least would give the illusion of being on and would be a little less annoying. In the book The Humane Interface, Jef Raskin, father of the Macintosh computer, asserts that there are no real technical reasons why a computer should take any boot time at all.
Reducing boot times can be done by brute force or through finesse. The solutions we have found or been told about can be broken down into three basic categories:
Reduce the boot time to its theoretical minimum.
Distract the user while the computer is booting up.
Anticipate the user, and boot before the user has a chance to wait.
Long ago, I saw a comment on the Linux BIOS page that EPIA-M support existed but was unstable. That fact had not changed since July 2003. I e-mailed the maintainer of that branch, and he said "The fastest time that I have is 5s with some optimization of [the] init script."
Wow, five seconds. We wanted to get that.
Initially, I tried to find a commercial vendor to replace the BIOS. General Software was kind enough to send me a sample of its BIOS replacement for the EPIA-M, but the company did not yet have a similar version for the EPIA M2, another motherboard we use in our products. Also, the entry price was surprisingly consistent among the several vendors I asked--around $10,000 dollars. Recouping the effort of making a custom BIOS requires this sort of pricing, I suppose. Part of the problem was these BIOS implementations did all sorts of great stuff, and what we were in search of was a BIOS that did almost nothing.
So we set out to see how much time we could recapture by throwing away the BIOS and booting Linux ourselves. The idea was to throw away all the useless BIOS functionality, show video at the boot loader (that is, GRUB splash screens) and start playing audio as early as we possibly could in the boot sequence.
Our Linux engineer, James, was sent off with a pair of Epia-M boards, a bootable 256MB Flash drive, the first two boot articles and a pointer to the LinuxBIOS site. I initially thought that we could get enough Linux into the BIOS chip itself to do something useful, such as squeak and Flash the monitor. That would have satisfied our light and sound objective, but James discovered that we did not have enough space without going to the Flash drive. So the new goal was to reduce the BIOS boot as much as possible and then launch a stripped ZipSlack distribution on the compact Flash IDE drive.
The main benefit of LinuxBIOS for our application also was the main drawback. The primary development focuses on making clusters of supercomputers that need to be able to reboot quickly. These clusters were designed for network booting, however; we wanted to boot off a disk or a Flash device.
The EPIA-M boards, although quite popular in the hardware hacking scene are not popular as clustered supercomputing nodes. The EPIA is not the fastest motherboard, running between 600MHz and 1GHz with a comparatively feeble CPU.
As the LinuxBIOS project has progressed, some of the code to do things other than bootstrap supercomputer nodes has fallen out of sync with the documentation. Downloading and reading most of the LinuxBIOS mailing list archives helped to reconcile the discrepancies. For instance, for a while it seemed as though the Etherboot modules would be adaptable to booting off of other devices, such as the compact flash/IDE adapter combo we were using. Eventually, James switched to using the FILO bootloader.
The hardware aspects of flashing a BIOS were the most adventurous. The first few compiles of a new BIOS image naturally produce a machine unable to boot. The essential tools for BIOS programming work is two of the same motherboard and the correct chip tweezers.
Restoring a fried BIOS seems wrong when you're doing it. When you fry your BIOS in computer A, you boot computer B with the fixed BIOS and then carefully extract its chip with the computer still running. Then, you put the other BIOS chip in its place and burn it with a backup of the original BIOS. Then, you can put the chip back in the other computer and continue on your way.
Getting a usable BIOS was no small feat. Etherboot would fail in many charming ways, for any reason, such as not finding the Ethernet card, not finding the kernel on the disk and so on. After a bad flash, either there would be nothing at reboot or LinuxBIOS would fail to load the BIOS itself or FILO. After a dozen or so failed attempts, a bootable BIOS finally was flashed, and ZipSlack was booted successfully off the CF card.
The following several sections, written by James, detail what was discovered along the way.
LinuxBIOS on EPIA V8000
Here are some aditional notes for LinuxBIOS on the older EPIA V8000:
- Use LinuxBIOSv1. LinuxBIOSv2 is still pre-alpha.
- You can in theory use many different PLCC32 flash ICs. I am using
an AT49F040A-55JI (512kB) from DigiKey ($1.68 qty 1) in place of the
SST39F020A (256kB) VIA installed. The AT49F040A required some minor
hacking inside flash_and_burn/
- If you do use a 512kB flash device, set PAYLOAD_SIZE to 458752,
VGABIOS_START to 0xfff80000, and ZKERNEL_START to 0xfff90000.
- You MUST edit src/northbridge/via/vt8601/raminit.inc to configure
the DRAM (specifically "DIMM_PC133" and "DIMM_CL2"). If these
options are incorrect, LinuxBIOS will freeze immediately after the
initial banner.
- raminit.inc hints that you must set the FSB jumpers to 133 MHz.
Fortunately that is not the case. The V8000 runs LinuxBIOS fine at
66MHz (which reduces heat output enough to safely disconnect the CPU
- See HOWTO/EPIA for VGA BIOS support on the V8000. The extraction
procedure differs from the newer EPIA-M.
- You will probably need "ideN=noprobe" on the Linux kernel command
line to prevent IDE probe delays.
- If you need the parallel port, add "parport_init_mode=spp" on the
kernel command line to enable it.
- CONFIG_COMPRESS is responsible for the huge 3+ second delay after
"Copying LinuxBIOS to ram" and before "Jumping to LinuxBIOS". The
decompression is extremely slow, and is unnecessary, as LinuxBIOS
easily fits in the 64KB area without it.
Add "option CONFIG_COMPRESS=0" to the LinuxBIOS config file and
it will disable compression in favor of a fast, plain memory copy.
With this option, LinuxBIOS transfers control to Linux 2-3 seconds
after power on (even at 66MHz FSB with VGA enabled)!
Don't you mean LILO? :P
I'm a computer engineer, and
I'm a computer engineer, and I would strongly advise against hot-swapping BIOS flash chips. It might work, but you risk frying your motherboard sooner or later.
bios flashing device
There's a device called an
"IOSS RD1" that will simplify the flashing of a bios
that allows you to switch bioses without having to pull
chips on a live system.
Might be easier than the process you describe.
I've never tried it so I don't know if it works or not.
search google on "ioss rd1" or look at
linux oracle
if we have Linux, which database between oracle and mysql will work better
Re: Reducing OS Boot Times for In-Car Computer Applications, Par
Something is wrong with your linuxBIOS setup. I'm the maintainer of the Intel 440bx port for LinuxBIOS V1. I've got 2 different 440BX boards with 400Mhz Celerons that get to your 9 second mark in under a second.
Oh and FYI. The proper name of LinuxBIOS is indeed LinuxBIOS. Not FreeBIOS. FreeBIOS is the project that LinuxBIOS came from. The reason its still in CVS as freebios is historcial and that its a real PITA to change the CVS setup.
0.334 LinuxBIOS-1.0.0 Sat Aug 21 14:48:58 PDT 2004 starting...
Here's the first clue something is wrong. The only thing that LB does between reset and this message is enable the RAM. Taking 300mS to turn on your RAM is _WAY_ slow.
3.492 Copying LinuxBIOS to ram.
6.292 Jumping to LinuxBIOS.
2.8 seconds to copy the code into RAM?! Thats crazy. You need to subscribe up to the LinuxBIOS mailing list and post your time stamped serial log there and ask for help to get your settings correct. Something is very hosed.

It's the smack seen 'round the world. Last night in Denmark, Beyonce had to reprimand an overzealous male fan who reached up on stage and gave Bey a quick slap on her backside. She responded saying, "Now I will have you escorted out of here, alright?"
Instead of wondering why a fan thought he could actually touch Beyonce's body or praising her sharp yet firm response, some people are asking: How can Beyonce be upset at a man smacking her butt when she is shaking it in front of his face in a skimpy leotard?
That reaction is laden with a victim-blaming mentality. It implies that it's Beyonce's fault for dressing and dancing provocatively, and that her actions relinquish her of ownership of her own body and give a man a pass for failing to keep his hands to himself.
Those responses reeks of the pervasive rape culture mentality in our society. A woman's attire and her dance moves are not excuses for inappropriate, unsolicited groping on the part of a man. There is no excuse for his behavior, regardless of how Beyonce looked or moved. The same can be said for women who are groped on the street, whether on line for the club or in a crowded subway car.
Beyonce's encounter with an audacious fan represents one of many instances where women are touched inappropriately by strangers. And the pass given to said strangers just adds insult to injury.

The Real Reason Why RVD Was Stripped of the Title!August 25, 2010
Recently, the TNA title was stripped from RVD due to the attack from Abyss. As we all most likely know, this is just a work. During my recent podcast, me and my co-host, Drew, discussed the real reason RVD was gone.
We both came to the conclusion that it was most likely due to his contract situation.
Well, as it turns out, we were right. According to the Wrestling Observer, RVD's contract had him being paid by the match.
Right now, TNA is cutting back their spending to save money. So, they are holding off on having RVD wrestle for awhile. He is scheduled to appear on the show after the tournament for the title is over.
He isn't the only star that is feeling the tightness due to cutbacks. It is also being said that Sting, Nash, and Flair are all in the same boat. Flair is currently talking with TNA in regards to upping his contract. If TNA had any brains they would be taking care of RVD first.
I have to question a company that doesn't want to pay one of their big players. Whether you like it or not, RVD has brought a lot of excitement into the Impact Zone. If they don't re up his appearances, he just may bolt back to the WWE.

Topic: Christmas Gifts (11/13/08)
TITLE: Christmas Hampers – the other side of the story
By Josiah Kane
"Calm down, little one," my mother soothed. "These are no ordinary Christmas presents. These were sent by the white peoples, as an act of kindness. They know that we are poor, and that we cannot afford Christmas presents, so they have sent us some. Your box is inside. Go see what you got!"
I staggered into the room, bewildered. The white people are nothing but trouble. First they raided our villages, stealing people as slaves. (That was a long time before I was born.) Next they built cities, scaring off all the kudus and other such antelope. Finally they invaded our village and insisted that we all go to 'church' and that it would grant us 'everlasting life'. A load of nonsense if you ask me. I think we were perfectly happy worshiping our ancestors' spirits. Now they send us Christmas presents? They must be poisoned of something like that! The white people never do anything helpful.
My box was in a corner. It literally was just a box, nothing like the flowery, nicely decorated boxes I had heard about. I lifted the lid. Inside was a bag of what looked like shiny, different coloured beads with see-through wrapping around them. There was also a packet of rice, which my drunken father would no doubt sell for some more beer, just like he would the pasta and beans that my box contained. In one corner was some sort of fluffy image of a lion. That just shows how contrary these white people are. First they try to stop me from worshiping the ancestors and make me go to church, and then they give me an idol! It makes no sense. The only remotely useful thing in the box was a bar of soap, which I shall enjoy using with my monthly bath.
I expect my family feels gratitude towards the white people, but I see no reason to. The soap was nice, but other than that I cannot see what there is to be thankful for. If this is what getting Christmas presents is like, I don't think I want one. In church they are holding a Christmas celebration. I think I will attend it, but only to tell the white people what I think of their presents. Who knows? Maybe I'll even have a nice time.

As one person referred to shooting a feral hog from a helicopter: "This is a hunters' trifecta!" Hunting, hogs and a helicopter—all at one time. Texas is the only state in the U.S. that will allow any wild animal to be killed from a helicopter. That animal is the feral hog, sometimes referred to by Texas land owners as the "400-lb rat."
Texas House Bill 716, Section 43-102 takes effect on Sept. 1, 2011. It is the authorizing document for a Texas Parks and Wildlife Department (TPWD)-administered program. The actual name of the bill is the Texas Hog Depredation Act, but is fondly referred to by Texans as the "Pork Chopper" bill. TPWD has had an aerial shooting authorization in effect prior to HB 716, but it was somewhat convoluted and placed the cost of depredation directly on the land owner. Many could not afford the price. This new bill relieves the private owner of the cost, which basically will transfer to the shooters or hunters, who will be paying for the privilege of shooting from a helicopter.
Why such drastic action by state lawmakers? There's a simple answer. These wild porkers are taking over the state's agricultural land and are even moving into the outskirts of some urban areas. We're talking millions of hogs here, not just a few thousand. Less than 10 years ago the estimate of the Texas feral hog population was 2.2 million and today it is over 4 million and climbing rapidly. Texans can brag that they have over half the feral hog population of the U.S. within state borders.
In Texas, feral hogs cause more than $400 million in damages to crops, fences, irrigation ditches, livestock, wildlife, golf courses and even yards each year. They carry a number of diseases, some of which are transferable to humans and livestock. Hog brucellosis, pseudo-rabies, tuberculosis, trichinosis, hog cholera, anthrax, tularemia, six varieties of stomach worms, Lyme disease—and of course fleas, ticks and lice—are all part of the package. And they almost breed exponentially.
Enter the helicopter. Of all the methods tried for control such as no season, no limit hunting, trapping and snaring, the helicopter and aerial shooting have proven to deliver the best results. As an example, ground hunting usually produces a kill of six to eight per hour or, at best, 60 hogs a day. Helicopter shooting, on a good day, could produce 30 per hour. Even with those statistics, aerial shooting for the past 12 months has resulted in an estimated kill of only 70,000 hogs, a drop in the bucket, so far. The new regulations should elevate that number.
The word is getting out to the hunting community nationwide and there appears to be no limit to the number of hunters just waiting to get their first "Pork Chopper." Helicopter operators are reporting inquiries from every state including Alaska and Hawaii. One such operator, Vertex Heliservices of Houston—already an experienced aerial hunting company—has established a social media marketing program along with a traditional program aimed specifically at safety and training for the average hog hunter who is stepping into a new and unfamiliar world of shooting from a moving aerial vehicle at a moving target.
Look for the full story, including Pat Gray's first-hand experience hog hunting with Vertex Heliservices, in the October issue of Rotor & Wing.

Well I used to have a guardian angel who was named Adam, who first appeared to me when I first started dating people..
He protected me and would help me when times were tough..but then just a few days ago something happened.
I met a nice guy online and we became pretty close, now this guy told me he liked me and 3 days later I was praying to God and I said "I do not care whether I am destined for this person or not, I just want to be with them" and at that moment I felt Adam hug me and fly away and he hasn't been back since.
So I have some questions to what people think this might be...
1)Was Adam an Guardian Angel or a Spirit? Because I saw a flashback once from when I knew him in my last life.
2)Now Adam teached me about love and after I said this thing to God he left, making me think i've learnt all I needed to.. But this guy who is on the the internet is like teaching me in a way too, making me get over my shyness and stuff.
So do you think I will be with him for the rest of my life, or he is just another teacher like Adam?
3) Any other things you wanna say about the situation?

Listen to your Unkle. He says #2. Looks the best out of all the pics. Actually, you look the best in that photo.
Listen to your Unkle. He says #2. Looks the best out of all the pics. Actually, you look the best in that photo.
I'm casting my ballot for #1.

- Albert Einstein
I'm loving the comments. My experience is that most men like long hair, but women think short hair is more stylish. So, who are you trying to please? I've always had long hair and cut it short last year. The women at work loved it and the men looked at me with big, sad eyes. Luckily, it grows fast and is back to long where I prefer it.
Count your blessings!
I like #2. You have such a pretty face the gamin look works well for you.
I like #2 because it looks great on you and then when it grows out you can style it like #1. Best of both worlds!
If you've been going to the same hairdresser for a long time ask their advice. They'll know your hair especially it's texture, weight etc.
I like #1 the best, but you're so lovely I'm sure whatever you end up choosing will look spectacular! Good luck!

Personally, I like longer hair. Every time I've cut mine off, expecting to be a cute as you, I've regretted it. But then my hair grows at a snail's pace. I do like the #2 pic. You're a doll.
I look forward to seeing what you decide.
How about a cut like the one Nicole Kidman is sporting in her new movie, really short, you have the face for that.

Arcane Brilliance brought to you today by Dominic Hobbs; soon to be your one-stop source of caster goodies at WoW.com
Welcome, mages, to this most unusual and unexpected issue of Arcane Brilliance. I'm sure many of you have noticed that your beloved Mr. Pants is not here today, and you're wondering what "that warlock guy" is doing writing AB. Well, it seems that Blizz has decided to put an end to the rivalry between mages and warlocks with an audacious change to the make-up of casters within WoW.
No doubt some have already read the blue posts that have made it into the recent Cataclysm class change threads so this post will come as no shock to you -- but for those that have not, my aim today is to not only repeat their words but also try to analyse their impact, as we see it here at WoW.com. So take the jump after the break and we'll learn more about the merging of the mage and warlock classes.

Juventus boss Antonio Conte insists his club can't compete financially with Europe's biggest clubs, but that doesn't mean they can't beat them on the field of play.
The Old Lady booked their place in the last eight of the Champions League last night with a 5-0 aggregate win over Celtic.
They will find out on March 15 who they will play next in Europe's most prestigious club competition.
"For a lot of reasons, especially economic, sides such as Barcelona, Real Madrid and Bayern Munich are clearly superior to the other sides in the Champions League, including Juventus," he stated.
"It is utopia to think that we are at the same level as those kind of outfits," continued the former midfielder.
"We have to be humble enough to understand that we have just begun on a path, a path that through hard work should lead us to bridge the economic gap that no one at this time can fill.
"The money that Madrid, Bayern Munich, Barcelona and Paris Saint-Germain can spend, we can not. At this moment in time, we are three or four steps below those teams.
"But that does not mean anything, because there is a football field, there are 11 players, 11 of us, there is the referee, the goals, there are two matches, home and away to deal with.
"Should we meet these teams next then we certainly won't start the tie as beaten.
"We'll certainly give it a go, knowing where our work so far has brought us. And we certainly want to grow over the next few years."

Thank you Shirley for the response.If youd like I can email you a copy of the article when it's ready for publication or I can mail you a xerox of the actual article if you email your address to me, but I can tell you it may be up to a year's wait.The Minnesota History Center has all the backissues of Staples World so I can get the article you cited there, thanks.
You say you only know names but that may be the valuable thing in this quest for image of Manasseh.He had six children in Staples...do you know the addresses or emails of any other descendants?He was prominent enough that there should be plenty of photos around.

25. Now that our whole local group of galaxies has shrunk to the size of less than 2 millimeters in the center of the small square, we have in the above drawing indicated some of the countless other galaxies and clusters of galaxies which are spread out in all directions. Their distribution is known to be fairly uniform. Naturally the above drawing does not try to be an exact representation. In the two previous ones the galaxies shown were actually placed in the positions they would be in, with reference to our galaxy, if we could look at them from our imaginary point of observation above that place on earth and on that moment when we undertook our fantastic flight. Now, however, all we can do is to sketch a large number of galaxies and groups of galaxies of different sizes and to make their average distance the kind of dimension it is known to be.
1 cm. in picture = 1025 cm. about 10 million light-years.

I support the Commission's Proposed Rule Making regarding the termination of the Sealed Envelope Service. Mitigating any risks would promote transparency and integrity in the markets, provide a seamless transition in clearing and settlement services, decrease settlement fails, enhance internal controls and dissemination monitoring of financial activity. It would also mitigate existing conflicts of interest among participants, their investment advisor affiliates and financial correspondent non-affiliates. The decision not to support this PRM would not only increase existing risks, but also create new risks. It places undue burden and risk on DTC if they have no way of verifying the contents within a sealed envelope. They're relying on someone's integrity, which is rare these days. Markets reek of price manipulation as it is. The termination of the sealed envelope would, I feel, enhance the CIP/KYC (Customer Identification Program/Know Your Customer)
Thank you

Ford is providing additional details about the snow plow prep option that's now available with the 2015 F-150 pickup.
Fleets and owner-operators can now order the F-150 with the option, which includes a bracket to mount the plow and a button that activates snow plow mode, which turns off nonessential features to provide dedicated power for the plow.
The option, which costs $50, is available on the Regular, SuperCab, and SuperCrew configurations and XL, XLT, and Lariat trim levels. The truck must be powered by a 5.0-liter V-8 engine and four-wheel drive.
Fleet buyers who choose this vehicle would neeed to take it to a Ford Qualified Vehicle Modifier (QVM). The truck can support a light-duty plow weight of more than 450 pounds, according to Ford.

4 Foods of the Apocalypse
Saw this awesome article today and wanted Serious Eaters to get in on the discussion:
Basically the premise is this--you have survived the apocalypse and can only live off of four ingredients (NOT composed dishes ingredients) for the rest of your life. You get a steady supply of oil, salt, pepper, flour and sugar. What do you choose?
I think I'm going with wine, chicken, eggs and spinach. But I know l will regret this!

Regulators say Tourre, 34, a native of France who was nicknamed "Fab" in his office, packaged toxic subprime mortgages into a collateralized debt obligation that was sold to investors under the name Abacus in 2007. A History Of America's Financial Disasters By Joseph Cooper, Bonnie Berman & Paul Leary • Jul 30, 2013 http://srnels.people.wm.edu/ 07/30/13 - Tuesday's Topical Currents looks at the history of US financial crunches. It's easy to recall the recession of 2008 or the 1929 stock market crash, but there have been many more panics, and they've all revolved around consumer, state and federal defaults.

Archie Goodwin draft profile
Goodwins strengths are his size, length, foot speed, and athletic ability. Archie is very fast with the ball in his hands and can put a lot of pressure on defenders in transition. He also can finish strongly at the rim, has excellent leaping ability and first-step quickness, and outstanding body control through contact.
Goodwins main weaknesses are his perimeter jump shot, left hand, and understanding of the game. His shooting form is incorrect for starters. He repositions the ball and releases slightly sideways. On perimeter jump shots, he never seems to jump straight up, always sideways or off-balance, and rarely lands in the same spot he starts from. He also shoots the ball at a flat trajectory, often leaving it short.
Goodwin has a lot of things broken in his jumper. Its not as bad as Michael Kidd-Gilchrist, but its pretty broken for a guard. It will take time to fix all these things, but the big chunks can be addressed pretty quickly, like shooting off-balance and the flat trajectory.

SEATTLE — Well, that didn't take long.
SEATTLE — Well, that didn't take long.
Just one day after Sounders FC announced it had freed up a designated-player slot, the team is finalizing the transfer of American star Clint Dempsey, one of the best players in U.S. Soccer history, from Tottenham of the English Premier League, according to a report from ESPNFC.com.
Sounders general manager Adrian Hanauer and a team spokesman each declined to comment, but Dempsey could be unveiled as early as today's 7:30 p.m. home game against FC Dallas, said the report, which was confirmed independently by other national outlets. Reports also say he will not play today because he is not yet on the active roster, but is expected to be in attendance.
Terms of the deal were not immediately known. But NBC Sports' ProSoccerTalk website said that according to multiple Major League Soccer sources, Tottenham would receive a $9 million transfer fee — the highest in MLS history — and Seattle would guarantee Dempsey $32 million over the next four seasons. It would be the largest base salary ever given to an MLS player.
According to the report, Dempsey's base salary would eclipse David Beckham and Thierry Henry, although Beckham also received a percentage of the Galaxy's revenue.
Seattle made room on the roster by agreeing Thursday to a new contract with Shalrie Joseph, which resulted in the veteran midfielder no longer counting as a DP.

The "Fukushima 50" are, by any definition, heroic – risking their lives to protect others. And in the middle of a greater work than most of us will (hopefully) be called on to do, this man is thinking about home.
That feels poignant. Bathetic, even. After all, we usually think of heroism as being distinct from normality, as extraordinary. We do the same when we decide what is valuable in our culture, often picking out the rare and remarkable as the most precious, to looking to symphonies, great paintings or magnificent buildings as evidence of the excellence of our species.
But when absolute disaster comes, it is made abruptly clear how much more the banal and the homely can matter than any of these totems to cultural greatness. The images of ruined domesticity are the most painfully affecting: family photos covered in filth and separated from the people they belong to, the mystifying appearance of a man with a bike in the middle of collapsed streets, the awful incongruity of a stained Miffy toy sitting among rubble and trash.
The cynical response to these pictures would be to say that they show us how puny human lives are. Even if the owners are still alive, can they care about such detritus in a time of mass tragedy? We are a fragile species, obsessed with ephemera, these stills seem to whisper. It's comforting to tell ourselves that what's been lost was trivial anyway – but terribly wrong. This explosion of peoples' daily lives into the open shows us what our existence is actually made up of – not the dramatic and unusual, but the boring, the things that are as unremarkable and essential as air and water. (Speaking of which, images of people queueing to fill plastic bottles from pumps ought to tell us that a functioning water system is a more impressive feat of construction that any of the ancient follies people travel thousands of miles to gawk at.)
Imagine seeing some high-culture totem surrounded by destruction – Jeff Koons's rabbit, say, instead of Dick Bruna's. The effect would be more funny than tragic. A museum piece can be distantly appreciated by millions, but a toy is a part of a life, and insists that we imagine the child and the family who left it behind. Because I think the rarely acknowledged truth is that the extraordinary is overrated. The really astonishing work of humanity is the daily act of getting on, and most acts of superhuman courage or bravery are like that of the worker I heard quoted on the radio this week – not done with the intention of achieving glory, but in the service of maintaining ordinary life.
This feels like the point at which I should call for everyone to stop taking everyday things for granted. Maybe I could instil a little guilt in everyone reading this for being a have when the world is filled with devastated have-nots.
Actually, I don't want to do anything of the sort. Certainly, most of our lives could feel warmer, and maybe a bit less wasteful, if we learned a little more affection for the dull stuff – I'm thinking of projects like Karen magazine (tagline: "made out of the ordinary"), which takes everyday, unglamorous things like hospital visits and dentists as its subject and makes them lyrical. But ultimately, we should be able to take everyday things for granted – better that than living in constant anticipation of having our lives swept away. The chance to be comfortably bored is one of the highest achievements of humanity.

I didn't see the actual Letterman show last week when he made that comment about the Palin girl, but my first thought was that it was about the oldest daughter, not the 14 year old. And they do look enough alike that I can see where someone thought it was the oldest one there, not the middle one.
SP should just move on already. She is dragging this out. Letterman gave an apology, invited both Sarah and Todd on his show. Now I am reading how Todd put on his Facebook page that Letterman said A-Rod "raped" rather than "knocked up" BIG difference! Now there are people calling for Letterman to be fired???? Please. He realizes that the joke was in poor taste. Let's put it all to rest.
As for today's show, I have not seen it yet. But as far as Heidi spraying her hair spray all over, I think Whoopi is very allergic to perfumes, etc. and I can see where hair spray could really do her in. I think one time Joy had a new perfume and she wanted to spray it around and Whoopi told her not to, due to allergies IIRC.
I only know of Heidi and Spencer from the times they've been made fun of on the Soup show. And what little (or much) I have seen on the "I'm a celebrity" show.

Lindsey Manufacturing Judge Tentatively Dismisses Executives' Bribery Case
Two Lindsey Manufacturing Co. executives won a tentative ruling dismissing their convictions on charges that they bribed officials at a Mexican state-owned utility.
U.S. District Judge Howard Matz in Los Angeles issued the order at a hearing today dismissing the case against Keith Lindsey, president of the closely held maker of emergency electricity towers, and Steve Lee, its finance chief. The judge cited government misconduct including providing false information to get a search warrant, making unauthorized searches and giving incorrect testimony to a grand jury.
Jeffrey Goldberg, a Justice Department lawyer, told the judge the prosecution made honest mistakes that didn't call for a misconduct finding.
"We regret those mistakes," Goldberg said. "We strive to get it right every time, and in this case we didn't get it right every time."
Matz said he would issue a final order tomorrow without indicating what if any changes he might make.
A jury in May found Lindsey and Lee guilty of violating the Foreign Corrupt Practices Act. The defendants faced as long as five years in prison for each of five counts of bribing a foreign official, as well as five years for a conspiracy count.
Prosecutors' Claims
Prosecutors said the men knew that a 30 percent sales commission they paid Enrique Aguilar, a Mexican company representative, was used to cover more than $5 million in bribes to officials at Comision Federal de Electricidad.
Lindsey Manufacturing, based in Azusa, California, retained Aguilar in 2002 after repeatedly failing to win contracts legitimately in previous years, prosecutors claimed.
"The government is fond of saying that the courts should send a message to people who might commit a crime," Jan Handzlik, a lawyer for the defendants, said after the hearing. "This court has sent a message that there should be fairness and justice in the process."
Handzlik said prosecutors "purposefully and deliberately" withheld from the defense transcripts of an investigator's testimony before a grand jury because they wanted to hide the misstatements the investigator had made.
"We are awaiting the court's final ruling, and we will carefully review the order to consider appropriate steps," Thom Mrozek, a spokesman for the U.S. attorney in Los Angeles, said in an e-mailed statement.
The case is U.S. v. Aguilar, 10-1031, U.S. District Court, Central District of California (Los Angeles).

|I somehow didn't get around to taking pictures, so here's a mouth-watering GIF instead.
This year for Thanksgiving, I opted to make things a little easier on myself as far as the cooking goes. I love planning, preparing, and eating holiday meals for sure. However, I don't love feeling in over my head because I have multiple time-consuming dishes to prepare, especially if I've been feeling overtired or short on energy the way I've been feeling so far this fall.
That said, I'm all about efficiency -- getting a delicious meal on the table quickly and with as little hassle involved as possible -- so I have zero problem taking advantage of shortcuts and modern conveniences whenever it suits me. Here's a quick breakdown of what we did to make our Thanksgiving fuss-free and delicious this year.
Pre-Prepped Oven Ready Turkey
I've been so happy with the meats Omaha Steaks has been been sending us, that I decided to try an oven-ready turkey from them this year instead of fussing with a grocery store turkey that needs to be cleaned and dressed before it's ready to go. Let me tell you, that was an excellent decision. The turkey was already brined, seasoned, and ready to pop in the oven. It also came with an oven bag to help keep it moist.
I did use the oven bag, but I'm not totally sure I would really use one again. (It kept wanting to stick to the turkey after a while, so I wound up losing some of the skin.) If there's one thing I know how to do well myself, it's roast difficult meats like turkey without it getting all dry and gross anyway, so the bag was probably unnecessary. Skin hang-ups aside though, the turkey was absolutely delicious. To the best of my knowledge, I've never eaten a turkey that's been brined before, but it really did make a difference. The brine made the entire turkey super juicy and gave it a subtle sweet, seasoned flavor.
A Better Way to Carve Your Turkey
I also decided to break down what was left of turkey right after we finished eating instead of doing what I usually do -- awkwardly wrapping the carcass in tin foil, shoving it back into the fridge, and waiting until some other day to retrieve the rest of the meat. Let me tell you something. I can't believe what a huge difference "carving turkey the right way" made as far as the overall fuss factor. The meat we ate for our actual dinner was more tender handled this way. Also, with the turkey still somewhat warm, the leftover meat was ridiculously easy to remove. (In fact, the turkey was so freaking tender, a lot of it fell off right in my hands.) I've avoided breaking down a turkey that way for years because I doubted my ability to do it properly, but I truly wish I'd been doing it this way all along because it was so easy.
Two bags filled with white meat and dark meat went into the fridge and the bare carcass went straight in the trash. (I like making a lot of things from scratch when the mood hits me, but broth is not really one of those things.) There was way more room in the fridge for other leftovers without the carcass in there. Plus, we didn't have to struggle with an awkward carcass and ice cold meat later on that weekend. We were just free to enjoy our turkey and we could easily keep track of exactly how much of it we had for making other things. The Christmas duck and the New Year's ham we have planned will be getting the same treatment, I assure you.
Semi-Homemade Side Dishes
Truth be told, there are a lot of Thanksgiving staples that I never make completely from scratch -- like stuffing, cranberry sauce, or pumpkin pie. I didn't grow up in a household where those things were ever 100% homemade, but they were always delicious regardless, so I see no reason to do things differently now. I typically start with pantry staples like a couple of boxes of Stove Top stuffing or some gravy packets and then doctor them up by adding fresh produce, herbs, additional spices, broths, wine, or anything else I have on hand that I think will make it delicious.
This year, I actually went the semi-homemade route with all of the sides instead of just the ones I do as a rule. Since I was already getting the Omaha Steaks turkey, I decided to order a couple of containers of their turkey gravy and cash in some loyalty points on a pumpkin pie as well. Even when I use gravy packets as a starter, the gravy is still usually pretty labor intensive, so it was really convenient to have something so delicious all ready to go. (Nothing new about going pre-made with the pie. I'm not a baker and neither is anyone else in my family, so pies for us have always been store bought.)
The stuffing was our go-to Stove Top jazzed up with some sauteed onions, as well as fresh carrot and cilantro from our CSA box (which the produce guy was nice enough to deliver as usual even though it was Thanksgiving). I added plenty of the turkey drippings as well so it was nice and rich. I normally mash my own potatoes, but this year I went with a couple of those instant Idahoan instant mashed potatoes with added turkey drippings, Provolone cheese, and more cilantro instead. There were also fresh green beans in the same farm box as the cilantro, so I sauteed those in bacon grease and served them with crumbled bacon on top. We had Hawaiian rolls with butter to go with our dinner as well.
Over all, we had a wonderful Thanksgiving and all of the food was amazing. We've also been thoroughly enjoying the leftovers. Honestly, this was just as convenient if not more so than the heat-and-eat holiday meals I used to buy from Safeway's deli back when I still had to juggle actual Thanksgiving entertaining with a ridiculous retail work schedule every year. I would absolutely recommend considering this if you're ever pressed for time or just want to save yourself some hassle. This is definitely something to try for anyone that really can't cook as well. (If you're capable of making boxed macaroni and cheese, you could easily do this, too.)
Personally, I don't get why more people don't do the semi-homemade thing more often. If you choose the right products and add some additional touches, they taste just as good and feel just as special as anything made from scratch. I sincerely doubt many people would even be able to tell you took any shortcuts unless you told them so either. The products and services I linked to throughout my post are all products we not only buy regularly, but that we like and trust enough to include as part of an important meal. I highly recommend any one of them for that reason.

There is also the question of whether or not we want to use just .the export version, or to import the non-export version under .domestic and the export version into our regular tree. --cjs Unless there is a really good version to take the non-export version, I'll strongly recommend to stick to the export version. My reason for saying this is that I prefer NetBSD to be available in the same version to as many users as possible -- and everything that goes into domestic breaks this principle. For products that only are applicable to /usr/src/domestic, the question is slightly different: not all of us can get the product, but those who can all get the same version. regards Erik Bertelsen Living in Denmark, and therefore not applicable to retrieve the domestic sources.

SAN CLEMENTE, Calif. --Orange County sheriff's deputies found Thursday the person who anonymously left porcelain dolls on the doorsteps of at least eight homes in San Clemente that resembled the daughters of the families who live in the home.
The intent of leaving the dolls was "goodwill," sheriff's deputies reported via Twitter. A woman who apparently knew the families from church was trying to give the girls dolls she thought resembled them.
The dolls were left in the Talega community in San Clemente over the past week with no note. Sheriff's investigators collected the dolls as evidence and were working with the families to find a connection between the homes.
No further details were released about the person in question.

Livorno are seen to have brought in Mimmo Di Carlo as Coach to replace Attilio Perotti, opting against Davide Nicola's proposed return.
The Serie A strugglers only moved last Monday to remove Nicola from the bench and bring technical director Perotti in.
However, on from a poor reception from the club's ultras and a 3-0 defeat at Roma in Week 20, Perotti yesterday reportedly indicated to President Aldo Spinelli his intention not to remain in the role for long, with advice that Nicola should be reinstated.
Spinelli was widely seen to have then met with Nicola, Perotti and sporting director Stefano Capozucca to negotiate the 40-year-old's return. [12]
Whilst Nicola was seen as ready to step back in to continue his contract, which runs until June 2015, it was reportedly only on the guarantee that Spinelli invest in 'three-to-four' signings to help boost the team's attempts to avoid relegation.
On from this situation, it is reported on Tuesday that Spinelli has opted against Nicola in favour of former Chievo and Sampdoria Coach Mimmo Di Carlo.
Di Carlo, who was last in work with the Flying Donkeys in late 2012, ended his playing career with the Amaranto.
Speaking to Tuttomercatoweb on the situation, ds Capozucca has indicated that the 49-year-old will be confirmed this afternoon.
"At 14.30 [1.30pm UK time], Livorno will hold a Press conference to clarify the whole situation," Capozucca is quoted as saying.
"Di Carlo? Probably we will also announce a new Coach."

Metal Gear Rising: Revengeance is the newest installment of Metal Gear franchise. Taking place four years after the events of Metal Gear Solid 4, Raiden returns to the battlefield as a cyborg ninja. Raiden has been contracted for VIP protection as a member of Maverick Security Consulting, Inc. While on the job, Raiden and the VIP are ambushed by Samuel Rodrigues, a member of Desperado Enforcement, LCC. He makes quick work of Raiden, who loses an eye and an arm in the battle. After becoming outfitted in a new cyborg body, Raiden seeks to find the intentions of Desperado, and deliver some revenge along the way.
The game is out and the verdict in in! The game's high energy, over-the-top action sequences seem to have mixed well with critics. To those who picked up the game, what are you thoughts? Check out the critic reviews below!
Loved It
"These animations are fantastic, with some crossing the line into total (joyful) absurdity, and most end with the opportunity to completely obliterate your target by cutting them into a hundred pieces. How many games are there where the player could, at a moment's notice, find themselves running across the tops of missiles to destroy a military helicopter with a sword?"
"Whether or not you have ever enjoyed Metal Gear, this is a must for anyone who appreciates melee-combat. It's simple, fast, and clean, with enough supporting content like additional weapons and secrets to encourage a campaign replay – or more, if you find yourself obsessed with the idea of a no-kill run."
"Revengeance is ultimately a departure from the old way of doing things. Almost every scenario demands conflict rather than silent infiltration, and instead of conforming to his environment, Raiden can transform it in a matter of seconds."
"The crux of combat holds Metal Gear Rising: Revengeance together despite its structural problems. The game's priorities are right, and cutting through cruft and seizing the core of the experience is a better result than the opposite end of the spectrum – a cluttered game that buries its heart in busywork."
"Revengeance is unapologetic in the way it indulges your greatest power fantasies, often doing so with such a grandiose display of style that you'll be unable to wipe that ever-present smile from your face. It's fast, flashy, and fun--and it's easy to excuse Revengeance's hiccups when even the simplest battles rival the best cutscenes in any previous Metal Gear."
Liked It
Game Informer
"This title isn't Bayonetta wearing a Metal Gear skin; whether you are hoping for a meaningful expansion of the Metal Gear universe or a gratifying action experience, Revengeance falls short. Brutalizing cyborgs and hacking giant mechs to pieces is fun, but the restrictive design and lack of precision keep Raiden from capturing the best of both worlds."
Hated It
No middling reviews for Metal Gear Rising: Revengeance have been received yet.

That seems a good idea performance-wise. I think that is required by POSIX. Any close() of a file by a process removes ALL locks held by that process (on that file), not just those acquired through that fd. Yes that has nasty side effects, especially in threaded processes, or when library routines open/close files that might have locks on them in other parts of the process.) Similarly there isn't a file locking scheme that can be used between threads os a single process. David -- David Laight: david%l8s.co.uk@localhost
