Three "laws" I enjoy from the Memespace:
Godwin's Law
As a Usenet discussion grows longer, the probability of a comparison involving Nazis or Hitler approaches 1. The term Godwin's law can also refer to the tradition that whoever makes such a comparison is said to "lose" the debate. (Wikipedia)
I like Godwin's Law because it reminds us how easy it is to get worked up over things that aren't really so big. Sure, politicians and other people debating real issues of real consequence still make this mistake, but when a doofus in a comment queue calls someone a Nazi, it almost never makes sense in the broad stroke of history. It also reminds us to keep the Holocaust in mind, as it is a solid lesson in the dangers of groupthink and the sway societies have over individuals.
See also: Godwin's law
Poe's Law
Without a winking smiley or other blatant display of humor, it is utterly impossible to parody a Creationist in such a way that someone won't mistake for the genuine article. (RationalWiki)
This rule has sometimes (mostly by me, I suppose) been expanded to apply to all parody on the Internet, but it applies more closely to objects of ideological faith.
See also: Poe's law
Moff's Law
As a discussion of a creative work grows longer, the probability of someone whining about "overanalyzing" approaches 1. In any discussion of creative work, anyone who says "OMG, why can't you just enjoooy it??" automatically loses. Hard. (Moff's Law)
I just encountered Moff's Law last week. The original rant doesn't actually include the "law," but someone in the comments conveniently rephrased it. Obviously, as a popular culture scholar, this will be a useful retort.
Runner up: The Courtier's Reply
It derives from a supposed spin doctor for the naked emperor in the fable The Emperor's New Clothes. Essentially it is a form of intellectual bullying that questions a person's right to rebut an argument on the grounds that the rebutter lacks experience with the subject at issue. (RationalWiki)
As RationalWiki points out, this rebuttal can easily be misused or misapplied. For instance, to rebut someone's objections with The Courtier's Reply assumes they have no right to participate in the discussion, whereas an individual can also be intentionally uninformed by, say, ignoring evidence in favor of their preferred reply. It's a subtle distinction that can be difficult to suss out, but for me the line comes from explanatory power — if the 'you haven't read enough' rebuttal goes to evidence, it's not the courtier's reply. If it goes to authority, it is.

The entire OT, that's why it's fun.
Correct, because 99% can't back it up and are scared of some internet buggy man. When they all fail to realize how easy it is to find peoples identity.
is that a mustache?
Jesus you're really crashing hard these last few pages. Get back to form or I'm robbing you of your precious attention.
Is she independent or work for a production company full time?
You are misreading it, not surprising as it's over text... If we are having a dick measuring contest between men, which is the OT, lets have pictures to go with it. I'm sure others have good boat stories, women, planes etc but they never post.. Just say they do... Kinda boring.
Just by math alone 1 out of 5 people don't even a million worth of assets to talk about. However, as much as this board brags about OT ballers there is a massive shortage of proof. Not to mention what is "rich"? Is it in assets, cash flow, Stocks, Life-insurance.. What?

The Nike AF1 "Jet" is a one-of-a-kind sneaker created to say thank you to Elton for his commitment to diversity and inclusion, and his long-standing relationship with Nike.
The upper is inspired by two factors. A British Knight's Armor and the Disco Ball. The design has a 1970s feel to pay homage to the early days of disco and the relationship between Elton and Nike. By doing that it also creates an aesthetic nod to Elton's 'Knighthood' with the chrome effect.
The product is finished off with Nike BETRUE color inspiration and graphics. The shoes were designed, built and produced at Nike's WHQ with the shoes themselves being manufactured in The Builder Lab within Nike's Advanced Product Creation Centre which most recently created Odell Beckham Jr.'s NFL cleats and a vast number of the footwear for Track & Field athletes at the recent 2016 Rio games. The AF1 Jet was presented to Elton this past weekend in Eugene, Oregon.
Elton's relationship with Nike began in the mid-1970s when Geoff Hollister created several one-of-a-kind shoes for the legendary musician. The Cortez, Daybreak, Tailwind hybrids appeared gained mythical status as they began popping up on the internet and in publications in the early 2000s.

I wrote another article for LWN that has just come out from behind the paywall, Perl 5.16 and beyond. This covers changes in Perl 5.16 and future plans for Perl 5.
Monthly Archives: March 2012
My LWN Article on the Perl 5 Release Process
I wrote an article for LWN (Linux Weekly News) about the Perl 5 release process a couple weeks back. It was originally behind a paywall but it's now readable by anyone.
Another article I wrote will be published later today. I'll post a link here once it's out from behind the paywall.
Please consider subscribing to LWN if you like this sort of thing, of course.
Are Perl 5 Committers Increasing?
I feel that Perl 5 activity has increased over the past few years, but is that an illusion? I brought this topic up on the #p5p IRC channel and Nicholas Clark said, "everyone assumes growth. If you look at the 'committers' graph on https://www.ohloh.net/p/perl/analyses/latest I don't think there's been any marked growth (or reduction) in the past 10 years. Just a lot of noise".
So is he right? I wanted to figure it out.
The Ohloh chart is very noisy. It shows the number of committers per month, which seems to swing back and forth rather dramatically. I used the Ohloh API to download the raw data and run it through a spreadsheet.
Instead of looking at each month, I looked at the average number of committers per year. I started with 2001, since before that year the data is even more wildly variable. Also, I know that the farther we go back in the commit history, the more guesses were made during the import to git.
Here's the graph I created in Gnumeric:
It looks like there was a big dropoff in committers from 2001 to 2004, and we've seen an upwards trend since then. I'm not sure there's enough data to draw any strong conclusions. My gut feeling that activity was up in the past few years was correct, but we don't yet know whether that's a fluke.
We still haven't reached our historical highs, so I think Nick was right when you look at the overall history of Perl 5. Nevertheless, I'm hopeful that we're in the midst of a positive trend.

DHCP Search Options
Topic Last Modified: 2009-05-28
To complete unqualified domain name system (DNS) names that will be used to search and submit DNS queries at the client for resolution, you must have a list of DSN suffixes that can be appended to these DNS names. For DHCP clients, this can be set by assigning the DNS domain name option (Option 15) and providing a single DNS suffix for the client to append and use in searches.
In some circumstances it is preferable that a DHCP client be configured by using multiple DNS suffixes, supported with the use of DHCP Search Option 119.
DHCP Search Option 119 is passed from the DHCP server to the DHCP client to specify the domain search list used when resolving hostnames with DNS. DHCP Search Option 119 applies only to DNS and does not apply to other name resolution mechanisms.
Table 1. DHCP options for domain search list
DHCP Option | Description |
015 |
Specifies the connection-specific DNS domain suffix to be used by the DHCP client. |
119 |
DNS Domain Search List option to specify the domain search list used when resolving hostnames with DNS. |
To enable search option 119 for Windows Server 2003 DHCP server
Open DHCP. (To open DHCP, click Start, point to Settings, click Control Panel, double-click Administrative Tools, and then double-click DHCP.)
In the console tree, click the applicable DHCP server.
On the Action menu, click Set Predefined Options.
In Predefined Options and Values, click Add (Option Class Standard), and then click OK.
In Name, type the string DNS Search List.
Set Code to 119 and Data Type string (it is not an array), and then click OK.
Right-click Scope Options, select Configure Options, and then check 119 DNS Search List.
Enter a list of domain suffixes in your organization, delimited by a semicolon (for example, contoso.com;dev.contoso.com;corp.microsoft.com).
Click OK.

"Just got done watching the Jeff Gogue hand webinar. Best $150 I've spent in a while! Every single one that I've signed up for has been superb and really makes a difference for those of us living overseas who don't have access to conventions/seminars period. So this is definitely the next best thing and I'm thankful for having access to them."
– Nick Tse"I can say without reservation Gabe Ripley's webinar, and the information presented, was one of the keystones to my career choices and direction the last year. I often quote much of what I learned not only to others, but to myself as well as a reminder to stay on track. I've taken the webinar twice and will purchase it if ever made available on dvd. I can't recommend it highly enough."
– Ian McKown"I absolutely love the website that TattooNOW has done for me! With being a new shop owner and having a lot on my plate designing a webpage was one of the last things on my mind. TattooNOW was able to totally help me in designing my page and I receive compliments from my clients from it all the time! My shop is in a little remote town and over 50% of my clientele comes from this website! People come from all over the country to my little town in Missouri. It's amazing the power of the Internet these days. I don't know what I would've done without this website!!"

MONTICELLO - The owner of the Monticello Casino & Raceway has reportedly come to a more formal agreement with Entertainment Properties Trust, which owns most of the Concord land located outside of Monticello, about partnering to develop their properties.
Empire Resorts announced Friday it has reached a master development agreement term sheet and will work with EPT and MSEG LLC, a real estate management company, through Oct. 11.
EPT owns 1,400 acres around the former Concord resort. Empire has been working with EPT on a plan since April 12, according to a company statement. The company did not announce specifics about the development plans.
This means that two development teams likely will duel over the rights to build a resort around a racino and harness track planned for Kiamesha Lake.
Concord owner Louis Cappelli, a former partner of EPT and Empire Resorts, is attempting to revive his $600 million plan for a luxury hotel and racino on the original hotel site, partnering with the Mohegan Sun casino.
He said this week that he expects to close on financing next month.
Empire Resorts says it's solidifying Concord plans

Below is a chronological list of Ted Bundy's known victims. Bundy never made a comprehensive confession of his crimes and his true total is not known, but before his execution, he confessed to Hagmaier to having committed 30 murders, only 20 of which were identified.[105] All the women listed were murdered, unless otherwise noted.
[edit] 1973
[edit] 1974

June 27 - 30
Good Year for Hunters – A World Premiere written and directed by Jess Barbagallo and Chris Giarmo, with sound design by Mike Cacciatore.
A mysteriously orphaned brother and sister fall in love with a closeted husband and wife. A darkly comedic landscape of fractured time, where yearning becomes nightmare. A world of secrets where memory relentlessly rewrites history and traumatic loss is endlessly looped. A queer horror story of deferred adulthood. Inspired by Tori Amos's seminal 1992 album "Little Earthquakes," the soundtrack of Chris and Jess' teenage years.
Jess Barbagallo is a multidisciplinary theatre artist and founding member of Half Straddle, who has performed with Big Dance Theater, Theatre of a Two-Headed Calf and The Builders Association. Chris Giarmo is the resident composer of Half Straddle, and performs with Big Dance Theater. Mike Cacciatore is a multi-instrumentalist artist and songwriter.

July 4 - 7
Flying Snakes In 3D – A Manhattan Premiere produced by Everywhere Theatre Group, written and directed by Leah Nanako Winkler and Teddy Nicholas, with video and sound design by Chase Voorhees.
Mutant killer snakes are accidentally released by the CIA. An unfunded young theatre company attempts to make art in the face of overwhelming financial, technical and emotional obstacles. Violent, bloody chaos ensues. An epic fusion of sci-fi parody, avant-garde theatrics and brutally honest autobiography. Packed with dance, cheap special effects and stunning video design. Dares to ask: If theater is a dying art, what are we doing here?

Pure Kona Coffee
Pure Kona Coffee
Pure Kona Coffee is another way to say 100% Kona Coffee. For those of you who aren't up and up on labeling law 101, the State of Hawaii Department of Agriculture says that the percentage of Kona Beans in a bag must be displayed on the bag before the word Kona. This makes the labeling of the term Pure Kona Coffee in Hawaii almost non-existent due to state law. Pure Kona Coffee is more a conversational term and internet keyword, than something you see printed on bags of 100% Kona Beans.
At Mountain Thunder, we specialize in Pure Kona Beans. All we sell is Premium Kona Beans, Chocolate Covered Kona Coffee Beans, and Authentic Hawaiian Mamaki Tea. We have a considerable investment in state-of-the-art processing and bagging equipment to do just one thing: Make your pallet happy. We wake up every day just to make this wonderful product so that you can be happy in the morning or whenever you prepare your snacks or beverages.
What does it take to make a great cup of joe? It starts with having full control over the product. Mountain Thunder is a Hawaii licensed and USDA Organic certified grower, processor and roaster of Pure Kona Beans. Mountain Thunder takes the coffee through each of the processes of wet milling, dry milling and final roasting. By having control of the product every step of the way, Mountain Thunder implements its quality control and lot tracking systems to make top quality beans both organic and conventional. It takes a lot of work to bring an average of seven pounds of cherry to a 16 oz. bag of roasted product.
The Fair Trade coffee certification continues to be a great social success when applied to worldly origins from South America and other parts of the world. The concept usually works where the coffee grower gets a fair price, usually $1.25 or more, per pound of beans, rather than the usual $.50 per pound of green coffee. Rest assured, Pure Kona Beans easily fits in with the Fair Trade concept because in our location, farm workers are protected by a state minimum wage law, which is well above the world averages for daily pay. Remember, our location is in the United States, and workers get protected by United States labor laws, which are absent in other areas of the world.
The Kona districts are blessed with a historically significant coffee growing region, which is roughly 180 years old. Japanese farmers are to thank for this coffee producing culture, because without them, Kona coffee would not have developed so fully, with its world-famous name and reputation.
Kona beans are a washed coffee, which gets wet-milled. This adds to the full, vibrant flavor of the Kona Beans adding smoothness and taking away bitterness. Mountain Thunder uses technologically advanced methods to develop the sought-after coffee flavor. Among these machines, are computerized color sorters which remove discolored or black beans from the general population of coffee beans.
Professional tasters, who are world-famous, and buyers of beans from world markets, purchase Kona Beans because of its chocolate notes, cinnamon flares and nutty overtones. Kona is world-famous for producing this flavor. We invite you to taste this rich, bold flavor for yourself.

The calculations were pretty simple even few weeks before i.e. you buy an apple iDevice, you got to have iTunes in it. iTunes played the role of managing these apple devices as well as also helped in organizing videos and music files. But with the ageing of this software by apple, most of the users are looking for a way out of using some other means to perform these tasks.
Alternatives though available within the market, but only satisfies a few among the huge user base of apple devices because of some drawbacks. In the meantime, a new challenger is released to flush out all those partially satisfactory products and to fulfil all the jobs the users desired to accomplish. It is the Syncios software. The biggest merit syncios possess is that, it's free! So, there is no place for a second thought before trying this freeware. This is the best thing.
Syncios is the latest showstopper which is basically an apple device manager i.e. an IOS device manager well-designed for users to use with any of their iDevices like iPad, iPod and iPhone for exporting and importing media contents among these. It can be easily used in even system based on WINDOWS. So, die hard window fans can also try some Apple goodies right within their own platform without any complicacies. Syncios can be very smoothly used for exchanging digital videos, music files, ringtones, photos and even apps. It can also be used for backing up contacts in the PC and also for storing ebooks.
Additionally, with syncios, PC can be connected with any iOS device like iPad, iPod and iPhones with utter simplicity and this feature is tested and works like a breeze. So from now on, Syncios is the simplest solution for connecting iOS device to PC and transferring data. This will definitely put a smile on many people's face.
How does syncios work?
There are several rocking stuffs bundled with this app like audio converter, video converter, ringtone maker and iTunes backup. We will discuss all of these in details but before that, let's have some deeper insights of this brilliant game changing software.
As soon as an iDevice gets connected to syncios, it automatically detects the device and displays all the relevant information about the device connected. The overall catchy design of the IOS device manager is also one of the reasons for its mass popularity. Being intuitively designed, syncios also provides a simple user interface unlike many other options available and thus enjoys a major advantage.
The jailbroken status is displayed within the syncios window which implies that it works equally for non-jailbroken devices as well as for jailbroken devices. This will surely be entertained by people who like to tweak into their devices and also like to squeeze out the same benefits enjoyed by a fresh piece of device. Additional information like the program version and memory stats can be seen in this front palette.
The left hand side vertical column displays all the pertaining sections of the device according to file types.
Further, installing of local apps from a PC and uninstalling of apps from the connected device can be performed with charm through syncios. Backup feature on the other hand provides with facility to save a copy of all of these apps aside in case of a rainy day!
From the left hand side within the 'Tools' menu link, when clicked, four tools viz. audio converter, video converter, ringtone maker and iTunes backup.
When audio converter is clicked, the window displays standard features which include adding and removing of audio tracks. In the right hand side, a selection drop down provides different formats in which the audio track selected could be converted into. Below this is located the conversion output location where the converted file would be saved. A checkbox below provides facility to automatically transfer the converted file directly to the connected device.
Similarly, on clicking the video converter, a similar user interface like the audio converter is presented with various formats of video in the right hand side of the window. MP4, MOV and M4V are the ones which are currently provided.
The next one in the list is the ringtone maker. With this feature one can create his own ringtone of choice. By browsing within the local PC, the desired track is to be uploaded within syncios. The two small functions do the job of playing the ringtone and listening to the ringtone respectively.
The SMS ringtone checkbox provides the facility to create a ringtone for SMS purpose and can be of twenty-five seconds of length in maximum.
The 'Start' and 'End' provides the initial and final time duration of the track considered for creating the ringtone. The 'fade-in' and 'fade-out' provides the timing feature of starting and ending the ringtone in a smoother way and not suddenly.
Below this, similarly like the other functions, provides a checkbox to transfer the ringtone directly to the connected device followed by the output location of the file.
Next comes the iTunes backup manager which is used for backing up the IOS devices for safety reason. This window provides with the details regarding the last time the backup was created, the version of it in the next column, the product and the serial number.
The next in the left hand side comes the media library from where all types of media files can be transferred or removed from the device.
Through 'photo stream' one can log in with the help of the Apple credentials and transfer photos from and to the connected devices and PC. With Virtual File System, system files and other media files can be imported and exported with great comfort.
Transfer Apps, Music, Images from PC to iOS devices such as iPhone :
As I mention before, you can easily transfer your Apps, Images, Music from your PC to iPhone. Remember that you must install iTunes in your PC (No need to run iTunes) for running this free Syncios PC to iPhone Transfer correctly.
First, connect your iPhone to computer with USB and launch Syncios PC.
To Transfer App: Now Go to the left panel of Syncios and click "Apps tab". In the main window you'll find Install, Uninstall, Backup option. Remember that you can only install local apps in *.ipa format.
To Transfer Images: Click "Photo Tab" from the left panel of Syncios. Here you'll find Import option to import images from your PC to your iPhone. You can also transfer images between your iPhone, iPhone 4S, iPhone 5 and PC by using "Camera Rroll" option. This option also helps you to easily share your images with your friends.
Transfer files between iOS devices with Syncios
Here is an example showing how to transfer your Photos from old iPhone to the New iPhone 5S. First, Plug your old iPone and use "Export" option to export all photos in your PC and then disconnect old iPhone and plug your new iPhone 5S and use the "Import" option to import all photos from your PC.
Add Music: First navigate to the "Music" tab from the left panel of Syncios. Now choose "Music" option from the right panel to find the Import, Export, Remove, New Playlist option in the main window. Now use this option to transfer music between your iPhone & PC or add more local music from PC to your iPhone, iPhone 4S, iPhone 5 or you can backup all music files from your iPhone to PC.
Well, this is not the end of story with IOS users as a similar Android application named SyncDroid is available for android users for performing similar functions like exchanging media files, backing up android phone data like contacts, sms, call logs, camera photos, browser data etc. Further it can also be used for USB debugging and connecting through laptops and PCs.
Overall, this syncios is very impressive and highly competitive and surprisingly free! Syncios requires iTunes to be pre-installed within the system which therefore states that it is definitely not created for replacing iTunes but it is a better approach to join all the missing links by iTunes.

The Exodus for Kids
Maybe it is all about the frogs. A master prestidigitator tells the story of the children in bondage, with child genius Stanley Spector playing Moses.
The Exodus for Kids
Maybe it is all about the frogs. A master prestidigitator tells the story of the children in bondage, with child genius Stanley Spector playing Moses.
must say that I liked this film…until the frogs. Maybe you are right. The frogs mean nothing. And that is what infuriated me. I was wondering…"What in the world do the frogs have to do with anything?" And if you are right, that they meant nothing, then this movie was a few hours that I could have spend mowing the lawn.
You might want to take another look at the interpretation. I am actually arguing that the frogs DO mean something. In fact, they reveal more than PTA even knows.
Well, when I get three hours to waste, I'll be sure to pop that video in.
I loved this movie. the frogs were awesome! this was a movie about miracles, and about deliverance. The characters represent a reasonable cross-section of limping, broken humanity, wreaking havoc on themselves and on others through blindness, pain, selfishness or cruelty. the usual mess. God finally takes a radical action—raining frogs—doing something so utterly stupefying and jaw-dropping that it stops everyone dead in their tracks, dead in the middle of their latest destructive or self-destructive acts. they simply cannot carry out their own wills and do themselves, or anyone else, any further harm, being so profoundly interrupted. it is a hilarious and touching response on God's part to the regularly unfolding disaster of Godless human existence. it is a movie about miracles, about how much God wants us, and loves us, and about deliverance, as reflected in claudia's final (and only) beatific grin.
God's initial penetration of the characters' collective madness begins with the song that all the characters, in wide-eyed wonder, join in on: "it won't stop/'til you wise up…". it is from this first piercing of their hearts that they (some of them) are willing and able to hear God, to be changed by His intervention. the truth is that God is there, speaking to us all the time, sometimes softly, sometimes with a shout—it is only up to us to listen. I wept on closing credits.
I thought your interpretation of this film was very good, or should say philm? Very observant and well researched. I do believe the frogs are the plague that was set upon Pharaoh or in this case Earl Partridge. As far as having to do with the overall content, If your interpretation is correct then they are necessary and, yes, pretty cool. If your intepretation isn't correct, which I think it is, then you got me. Either way it begs the question we are all wondering. How many of those rubber frogs did they make for this film, or should I say philm?
The frogs mean *everything*!
The film is certainly about all the themes mentioned by everyone else above - but at the core, the movie is about Forteana, the field of observing (usually without theorising about origin/cause) that, as Stanley says "These things (meaing weird things outside the realm of consensual normality) are real. They do happen." It's not for nothing that Stanley is shown to be an avid reader of Fortean Times, the premiere monthly magazine on the subject.
The name comes from the early 20th century author Charles Fort, who collected newspaper clippings and commented on about every odd thing he could find, anything that contradicted the status quo. He reported several rains of frogs.
It's worth noting also that, when interviewed and asked if he had any actual theory as to why such things happen, he said:
"I think we're property."
As Stanley, Donnie and so many of the characters are owned by someone or something.
I have had the film in my possession for a few years and have seen it from time to time. It was intriguing but I did not get to the point. Your analysis was just the last push I needed for the pieces to fall together. Almost liberating, thankx
The purpose of the frogs is this: When everything jus seems so messed up and the world is thrown to chaos, frogs falling from the sky is about the only thing that does make sense. and this was from the Paul Thomas Anderson website.
The Scuba Diver was scooped up from the lake and into the sky. So were the Frogs
P.T. Anderson 2:8 letters
Frogs represent the inability to make the transition from Water to Land like other creatures. They are forced to be linked to their past even as adults and neither land nor water animals….a failure to evolve
The frogs didnt mean anything, I remember hearing PTA say that if he had the funding he would of made it rain cats and dogs.
Your interpretation is basically a conspiracy theory of Magnolia. ;-) But it's a fun read.
Maybe I'm a simpleton and I'm certainly not a Christian, but to me the film is about love, forgiveness, regret, making mistakes, being a parent, being a child, guilt, pain, hope, love… Quite obvious. Quite simple. And also, like reality, very very complex.
I know it's been a long time since you wrote this article, but I'd like to say it is very beautiful. I noticed the 82 throughout the movie, but I took great curiosity in it when it appeared in the game show. A women held it up on a sign that said "Exodus 8:2," and someone (a security guard at the show) ripped it out of her hands.
I was intrigued by the repeated phrases, especially "it's raining cats and dogs." But in the end, it rained frogs.
I want to look into it more and see more. Because it does have a lot to do with forgiveness.
I want to look back at the "weather predictions." Because for the night of the frogs, it said something about it being clear and windy… And really, the frogs only affected our main character (and the ambulance people). The frogs were like an enlightenment that our characters all experienced. It stopped the suicide, it turned off the tv, it brought the mother and daughter closer, it caused the man to fall on his teeth (the teeth he wanted braces for because of vanity)... and most of all, amongst the frogs, the policeman's gun revealed itself.
Any thoughts?

In just a dozen seconds, two pressure-cooker bombs exploded at the finish line area of the Boston Marathon last year, creating a tailspin that lasted for days. On Friday, the police officer killed during the manhunt for the bombers was memorialized as the region continued to mark the anniversary of the tragic events.
Three people died in the explosions and more than 260 people were injured.
The fourth death took place a year ago Friday when MIT Police Officer Sean Collier was shot, allegedly by the fleeing suspects, Tamerlan and Dzhokhar Tsarnaev.
PHOTOS: The 2013 manhunt for the bombing suspects
Tamerlan died after a later shootout with police in Watertown, Mass. Dzhokhar was apprehended on the night of April 19, 2013 and is awaiting trial on charges that could bring the death penalty if he is convicted.
On Friday, the MIT community mourned Collier's death at a ceremony at the school in Cambridge. With Collier's family attending, Sara E. Ferry, a friend and graduate student, described his death as "moment of extreme evil."
"Sean embodied the spirit of MIT and the students," said Ferry, according to local media reports. "He was always learning. … We are so grateful that he was part of lives at MIT. … When Sean left us, love rushed in. … Love will be Sean's legacy at MIT."
U.S. Sens. Edward Markey and Elizabeth Warren, both Democrats from Massachusetts, also praised Collier. Cambridge Mayor David P. Maher said the intersection near where Collier was sitting in his police cruiser when he was shot would be named Sean Collier Square as a memorial.
Friday morning's ceremonies was also a fundraiser for the Sean A. Collier Memorial Fund, which has raised more than $500,000 to pay for scholarships at MIT and the Massachusetts Police Academy.
Team Collier Strong, a group of about 25 friends and relatives, will be running in Monday's Boston Marathon to raise scholarship money for the fund.
The bombs went off on April 15, 2013 and the Boston region has been commemorating events with moments of silence, prayers and ceremonies this week as the area works through the healing process. Those killed in the blasts -- Krystle Campbell, 29, Lu Lingzi, 23, and Martin Richard, 8 -- have all been remembered and mourned.
Collier was the fifth of six children. He studied criminal justice at Salem State University, working for a time as a civilian at the Somerville Police Department. He was a fan of the Boston Celtics, taught young people to box and helped out at a homeless shelter. When the MIT Outing Club headed to Newfoundland for a weekend of hiking, Collier joined them.
Collier's sister, Nicole Lynch, told reporters this week that the family was relieved when her brother was hired for a relatively quiet police post at MIT.
"Then he called me after his first week and said, 'I made my first traffic stop and they pulled a knife on me,' " she told the Associated Press. "I remember thinking, 'Oh my goodness, maybe this is not as safe as I thought.' "
Tucked within the solemn moments this week has also been the occasional moment of joy.
On Thursday night, Marc Fucarile and Jen Regan finally married. They had been planning their ceremony last year, but the bombing cost Fucarile his leg and the nuptials were put on hold.
During his recuperation, Regan entered a contest offering a free wedding to a couple who was affected by the bombings. She wrote an essay and won.
The wedding took place Thursday night at the EMC Club at Fenway Park, home of the Boston Red Sox.
The wedding's colors were blue and yellow -- to match the logo of Boston Strong, the city's mantra.

We save cans and the price right now is .65 a pound. When we went to the scrap yard the place was packed with truck loads of metal. Has anyone tried this ? Have you made money doing it?
I've made a very good and independent living salvaging scrap metals. I wrote a few articles about my experience and accumulated information concerning this topic. Angie listed them in a sticky over on the survival forum if you're interested. They're listed with the compost composite sticky.
If you can find scrap metal you can make some money, the best way is to seperate the metals, strip the copper from old appliances. Talk to the metal buyer he will tell you the way to get best prices. Glenn
A man in our area offers cash for junk cars. I'm sure he makes a good profit on them when he resells them for the metal. Most people are glad to get them out of their way and happy make a few dollars in the bargain.
Forerunner I read your stickies great information. We are looking into maybe trying it out. We have stuff that was left on our property that we can haul off.We are also going to get the opportunity to clean out an old house that will be torn down. There are car parts in the yard and lots of stuff left inside. We are not sure what all we will be able to salvage yet but it could be very lucrative for us.
Metal is generally an inflation proof account. There has been and seems to now be a rather dependable fluctuation in the markets that allows for the wise to prepare and stockpile metals and sell high when the time comes. This seems to be true across the board, though non-ferrous metals have been up for some time now. Be one of those folks who calls around for best price, indicating at each opportunity that you are a serious recycler who deals in quality material. The folks who just throw the whole mess in the back of a pickup and drive to the nearest yard regularly settle for one third of the material's value. On the homestead, time and labor are frequently cheap enough. Prepare your metals to the most refined degree that you can, safely and without drawing too much attention. The bulk of the value in scrap metal is in the labor that we apply in preparing it to industry specs.
Steel just went up from $5/100lbs to about $8.50 in my area. Aluminum etc. will probably go up as well. I recommend http://realcent.forumco.com in the Scrap section of the forum - lots of serious scrappers there. BEST piece of advice for those starting out: 1. Buy some decent quality gloves, you can get decent leather ones that will protect your hands for $5 or $10 a pair. Make it a habit to have them handy and wear them whenever you are handling items, even if you don't think you need it. Safety first, you don't want to cut up your hands or scrape your knuckles. 2. If you don't understand it, don't sell it until you do. The RealCent forum is a good place to learn more about how to identify what there is. 3. Call around for best prices, don't be shy. (I don't deal with steel/aluminum, I only buy PC motherboards and CPUs and other gold e-scrap).
I've made great money from time to time by scrapping. I flea market on the side, and go to a bunch of auctions. Before the big spike in metals prices a little while back, I could score lots of super easy scrap. For instance, I bought lots of boxes of pistons for $2 for the lot. They scrapped out at $8 a box. Finding good, easy scrap, high profit scrap is more difficult these days due to competition. The closest place to sell steel is 30 miles away, so I've never messed with steel or iron. Good scrap is still out there to be had. Of course, I've only dabbled in scrap as a bonus at auctions and the like. Also, when you are scrapping remember that scrap is not always scrap. Sometimes, it is worth much more as an item than it is as metal. For instance, I bought a steel lawn chair from a scrapper for $1. I set it in my flea market booth, and it sold for $10 on the first day. An antique shop owner bought it, and sold it two days later for $38. Another time, I bought a bucket of junk steel from another scrapper at an auction. I paid him $2 for it. I sold the galvanized bucket for $4, and a tool inside the bucket inside the bucket brought $116. (I was disappointed that it didn't bring more.) BTW, make sure you read Forerunners scrap guide mentioned above. It is very good. Just make sure you can identify valuable items as well as you can identify the scrap.
One other thing about knowing what you are selling. As I was removing the trash pit at my place I hauled in some 4" steel pipes with a load of steel one time. When I got to the scrap yard the person weighing came out with waht turned out to be a geiger counter. The pipe was apparently old pipe from oil drilling rigs, and supposedly went through some radioactive ground. The person at the yard immediatly ordered me off the property and wouldn't take any of the load. I finally found another yard that ended up unlaoding me, and putting the pipe back on the trailer for me bring home. With all the gas I spent driving to simply getting it sold/unloaded I lost big time on that load.
I've been across scrap yard scales hundreds of times and never once have I been singled out for such an experience nor have I ever witnessed it happen to someone else. Not saying it can't happen...... the scrap business is not without it's quirks and secrets, but I've never seen it. Every yard I have ever dealt with had the radiation equipment in place. I honestly believe it to be left over from WWII and the cold war. It keeps people aware, and afraid..... two pillars necessary to hold up the canopy of domination.
My sons have always scrapped a little for extra cash. We have a pile on the farm and they just have to clean, sort and load it for the money. They, too, ran into the check for radioactivity at a local yard.
I went to an auction today. My primary purpose for attending the auction was to buy business equipment from a foreclosed business, and resell it for a profit. I was able to buy stuff for resale, but I also scored some scrap while I was there. Professional scrappers like forerunner would laugh at my small haul of scrap today. Then again, $4 worth of scrap here, and $8 there, add up very fast. The best part is that I got this scrap for free!!!!
make sure if you scrap cars dont take the whole cars in there around here they offer like $50 more a ton if it is a whole car (as in alumnium wheels, battery, converter, pretty much has to be a whole car blown motor or tranny or wrecked dont matter as long as it has all that extra stuff) dont do that cause you can sell the battery, converter, radiator, starter, alt, rims, and then what ever you can sell online is more money people buy parts all over and if you can or want to take all the wiring out of the cars and burn them and just keep putting them in to a bucket and when its full take that in copper wire is like $2.10 a pound and it adds up fast 2 years ago i was buying ford probes and mazda mx6 cars for free to $500 selling the converters for $250 each rims for $150 then if motors or trannys were good they were $500 each along with any other parts that would sell online now the price of converters dropped and people think there still worth gold and i cant touch any car around me for under $600 and thats a junk non running car and scrap is $230 a ton or add $50 more a ton if its a whole car or truck but if you have the space get as much as you can cheap and strip them and part them and scrap whats left and dont mess with no titled stuff trust me more work and most times there stolen and i dont mess with that other people do just dont feel like sitting in jail for how ever long to make $100 or so and auctions are the place to go i go all over to auctions after auctions and pick stuff up dirt cheap and resell online or scrap i got over 1000 egg cartons for $1 there was like 8 big boxes full of them i was selling 100 for $10 another time i got a trailer for $10 sold it the same day for $400 but there are alot of people out there that make good money scrapping i buy dodge trucks and part them out 1994-2001 and if i find a cheap 2002 and up ill buy them and part them and then i scrap whats left over but when i can make $1500-4000 on dodge trucks that i get for cheap its a good deal and worth alot more than scrap price and in the winter get in to snow plows if you get them in the summer hold them till winter if you got the space and same thing with spring stuff if you get them in the winter like lawn mowers and stuff hold them dont scrap them cause i part out lawn mowers also or fix and sell but ill see any where from $300-2000 off a lawn mower just in parts the newer the better but an old simplicity brought me $2000 in parts one year off my scrapping and parting i have so much crap laying around that i keep its not even funny i got a curtis snow plow thats like brand new with a dodge truck that had a blown tranny i traded a blown up 400ex (that i got for $200) for a 2001 yz125 that was mint and i traded that bike for the truck and the plow only made $1800 off the truck cause the body was shot and the parts were kinda rusty but i still have the axles and air bags and dash that should bring another $1200 on a good day cause there 2500 dana 60 axles that are like $1200 each at the junk yards so one day they will sell and i keep the curtis plow and if i sold it i can get $3000 out of it or put it on a dodge truck and make about $7000 on the truck and plow before winter i can go on and on about the deals i have got by scrapping but ill stop now the only thing about it is now every one thinks there junk is worth gold and there are so many people around me doing it that it just kinda sucks now
It has the potential to be reasonably profitable. The key is to find a good source, in some cases people will give away old systems just to get them out of the office or the house. Since the value is always greater than free, it is just a question of whether you want to take the system apart for the pieces. It will take about 6 minutes at least, to fully dismantle a typical machine. This means 10 per hour, so that is a bottleneck or limiting factor.
Laugh ? I don't know. I'm the one who picks the brass valve stems and lead wheel weights out of the garbage at the truck repair shop where I do business....... I can't walk a mile up the road without filling every carrying capacity on my person with aluminum cans. I'd say I'm as laughable as anyone. Humility has gotten me farther down the road of successful scrapping than anything.
Scrap metal is about $6/100 lbs, having just come off a high of $10/100 lbs!!! They had to get cops to direct traffic, it was so busy. DH made almost $200 in just a couple of hours, not counting wait time in line. Some guys were making close to $1000/day. We've never seen prices that high.
ya it was up here too now every thing dropped back down scrap is back at $150 a ton or $160 for whole cars with alumnium wheels so ya its going back down but i made close to $1200 just in 1 day 4 loads like no wait time and not i just have 2 trucks that need the axles cut out from under them and gas tank knocked out and there ready to go when the price goes up shoot in the winter i was stacking cars i had so many i was waiting for the price to go up and didnt want them all around the house making it look like trash so i put them behind our huge barn and started stacking them it paid off cause once it started getting nicer i was scrapping them like all the time and i get about $25-35 more a ton depending on the day than most other people that just drive in there now every one thinks there stuff is gold and want gold price when really they have junk
steel was 260 a ton here not but a few weeks ago. but yup droped pretty good. you need to also be carefull who you deal with too. someplaces are just ripoffs.
I sold my non-ferrous scrap I scored at two auctions I attended last week. Total expenditure for the scrap I bought: $2 Total income for the scrap I sold today: $24.05 Net profit: $22.05 Not very much money, most would say. I was already at those auctions buying other stuff, so the scrap is icing on the cake to me. I just wish I could get that much quality scrap every day, especially considering how easy it was/is to obtain. One thing that I should note: I can't generally compete with the pro scrappers at auctions when big lots are being sold. I score small stuff here and there...and generally small stuff that no one else even sees.

Updated Rhapsody App to Allow Offline Playback[ame=http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=C-wva60DptI&feature=player_embedded]YouTube - New Rhapsody/iPhone Feature - Coming Soon!![/ame]
At the SXSW festival in Austin, Texas, the folks behind the Rhapsody streaming music service previewed the upcoming revision to its iPhone app that includes the ability to download users' songs to a cache to allow offline playback. Although the Rhapsody people are confident Apple will approve the app, there's a chance this functionality might be too close to the native iPod app for Apple's comfort.
The Rhapsody To Go subscription service from RealNetworks comes with an app that lets you stream music from the nine million tracks in its library directly from your iPhone, for a $14.99 US monthly fee. However, one consistent complaint about the app is that streaming requires WiFi or a solid 3G connection, so listening to music on the move in particular is problematic. Real apparently is listening to the users, and claims this update will be out soon. In addition to making playback more smooth, offline listening also significantly extends battery life, as using the WiFi or 3G radio is a big power draw.
Users can download songs over 3G or Wi-Fi by first creating a playlist on their device, then tapping on the new Save button that appears at the top of the list of music. Playlists with saved songs are highlighted in orange, while regular streamed playlists remain in black.The Rhapsody app will also have a force offline" mode that will display only cached songs . This keeps you from unintentionally connecting to the network if you're trying to extend battery life, or in situations like overseas travel where 3G use would lead to big roaming charges.
Apple has been historically resistant to any apps that duplicate the functionality of native iPhone apps, so it'll remain to be seen whether they'll permit a direct competitor to iPod. There is a precedent, though: the Spotify app similarly allows offline access to cached music from its service. We'll find out soon: Rhapsody - which is soon to be spun off from Real - told WIRED that they will submit the app within days or weeks, not months."
It about time, will be a nice bandwidth saver!

Flashy engagement rings have been the trend in Hollywood for years. Celebrities try to out do each other with bigger diamond or more unique settings. From huge 4 carat stones to bright red rubies, if it's in Hollywood it has to get noticed. For the rest of us, it isn't easy to keep up with the lavish trends of Hollywood. Your average fan doesn't have a million dollars to spend on a ring. If you just have to have the latest in Hollywood trends then Christina Ricci's new ring might be more within your budget. Ricci's beautiful ring is smaller and exudes class; a direction that more of Hollywood might emulate this year.
Back to Classic
The three-stones on Ricci's ring are set in yellow gold, a nod to traditional values and classic sensibilities. The three stones symbolize the past (when you first fell in love), the present (every day you spend together) and the future (till death do you part). Although a large, flashy stone seems more befitting to such a glamorous lifestyle, Ricci and newly found fiance James Heerdegen, have decided to stick to tradition when it comes to their big day.
Will Others Follow Suit?
A classic look in a modern world may bring a lot of attention but will it bring change to the trends of Hollywood? Modern tastes tend to prefer angular cut stones set in white gold or platinum; Ricci's ring looks back to a time when round, proportionate stones were the norm. A big diamond may draw a lot of attention, but if everyone is doing it then it's no longer special. Celebrities are constantly doing all they can to distinguish themselves from their peers; a traditional ring seems a smart way to distinguish yourself when everyone else is going for big and flashy.

FCC To Probe Battles Between Netflix And Internet Providers
The Federal Communications Commission has begun studying who's at fault in the video streaming battles between Netflix and Internet service providers. Netflix recently struck deals to pay Comcast and Verizon Communications to connect its servers directly with the Internet providers' networks, to improve steaming speeds. Netflix has said it signed the deals reluctantly.FCC To Probe Battles Between Netflix And Internet Providers |

True punks rise above odd mix at Warped Tour celebration
September 7th, 2009, 4:10 pm by BEN WENER, THE ORANGE COUNTY REGISTER"How many people here are seeing their first Bad Religion show?"
That's a stock question frontman Greg Graffin asks virtually every time the veteran band from the Valley performs. Lots of hands went up in response to it Sunday night at Club Nokia, which was slightly astonishing.
The band did manage to cram more songs into its allotted 20 minutes -– a whole seven, including "The New Dark Ages," "No Control," "I Want to Conquer the World" and the speedy version of "Generator." That's almost double what most other acts on the bill could squeeze in during the same amount of time. But this brief appearance hardly qualifies as a proper Bad Religion show.
Rather, Graffin & Co. were on hand to help close out a star-studded four-hour salute to the annual punkapalooza known as Warped Tour, which turned 15 this summer. The Aggrolites kicked it off with another hearty slab of funky reggae, half of Pennywise turned up for the finale, leading a holler through "Bro Hymn" that quickly turned to pandemonium -– and in between was as jumbled a lineup as … well, as you'd find at most any Warped stop these days.

It's Twin Maned Wolf Pups for the Smithsonian Institute
June 27, 2013
The onset of summer for the Animal Care staff at the Smithsonian Conservation Biology Institute in Front Royal, Va., means patiently awaiting endangered-animal births, hand raising youngsters, and saying farewell to cubs that are ready to be matched with mates. All of the species—which range in International Union for Conservation of Nature Red List status from near threatened to endangered—are significant and represent great conservation successes.
One of the new births of these important animals were two male Maned Wolf pups, born on April 14 to 2-year-old female Vitani and 8-year-old male, Paul. The pups received a clean bill of health at their first veterinary exam, appearing robust and healthy. Keepers have nicknamed the pups "Bold" and "Shy" for their distinctive personalities.
Only 85 Maned Wolves are part of the Association of Zoos and Aquariums' Species Survival Plan, and these pups account for 40 percent of successful Maned Wolf births in the United States this year. A leader in Maned Wolf conservation, SCBI has had 74 pups born there since 1975—more than any other institution.

After watching both teams in week 1, I thought the Texans would have a somewhat easier time with the Dolphins but Miami came to play. Miami played well on both sides of the ball but it was a rookie running back that came out of no where and gave the Texans the most trouble. Although the defense appeared to be getting pushed a bit, they held strong for most of the game. Luckily Ben Tate's 103 ...

I can't lie, even though I have been asking ( down right begging ) for McCoy to start and for Malcolm Brown to get the ball more I wasn't 100% sure what would happen. How about them Longhorns? That was the best first half I've seen out of them in a year and a half. I loved how the announcers on t.v. kept going on about how young UT is and how you need more experience. They forget it's college...

With no Peyton, it was no problem but the Texans were not as sharp as they should've been. First off, I was right about Ben Tate and Jacoby Jones. Thank you. Schuab's two picks weren't all his fault but he should've been picking that defense apart. Three hundred passing yards should've came easy. Where you saw the biggest difference was in the time of possession. The Texans held the ball fo...

Who do the take with pick? The potential list of available players is p...
