NEW YORK (AP) - Rick Riordan spent the past few months in hell, and liked it.
NEW YORK (AP) � Rick Riordan spent the past few months in hell, and liked it.
The million-selling children's author promises a "fair amount of drama" in "The House of Hades," Book Four of his "Heroes of Olympus" series set for release next week. Disney Hyperion has announced a first printing of 2.5 million copies and the 600-page novel already is in the top 5 on Amazon.com.
Book Three of the "Heroes" series, "The Mark of Athena," ended with Percy and Annabeth plunging into the Underworld and the Romans set to attack Camp Half-Blood. Riordan promises the adventures down under in the new book will be "very intense," even for a storyteller unbounded by human possibility.
"Some conflicts from the previous book will be resolved," he said during a recent telephone interview. "But I don't think Percy and Annabeth have gone through anything as serious as what they're going to face now."
Some of his research was first-hand. A few years ago, he and his family cruised the Mediterranean as part of a Disney promotion for the end of his "Percy Jackson" series. Many of the tour destinations end up in "House of Hades" and the other Heroes books.
But other locations exist only in myth, like Tartarus, a pit of torment deep deep in the Underworld.
"There are conflicting images of Tartarus in literature," Riordan says. "So I had to draw on my own imagination and make the scenes there as difficult and challenging as I could."
He is among the most popular and busiest writers, best known for his Percy Jackson books, featuring a dyslexic 12-year-old not unlike Riordan himself at that age. He has also completed a trilogy based on Egyptian myths, "The Kane Chronicles," and has begun a series drawing upon Norse literature that will likely debut in 2015.
Riordan, 49, has been widely praised by parents and educators for getting kids interested in ancient mythology and he has a special project planned for next summer. A former middle school teacher, he has long been dissatisfied with the anthologies of Greek myths he saw in libraries and classrooms. So he decided to write one himself and let his most famous character do the talking.
"I could never find an anthology that worked for kids, so I went back to Ovid and Hesiod and Homer and cast all the stories from snarky Percy Jackson's point of view," says Riordan, whose tentative title for the book is "Percy Jackson's Greek Gods." Disney Hyperion, an imprint of Disney Publishing Worldwide, has scheduled the book for next August.

I can understand the Ayase-Kuroneko jealousy factor, but Saori -- of all nice oddbal --er, people -- acting a perfect snob toward Kanako? (why this project is so difficult http://forums.animesuki.com/showpost...&postcount=905 ) I'm even surprised that homely polite Yoshino seems mum about accepting Kanako. Granted, Mr. Straightlace Daisuke might disapprove of Kanako as a "dummy", but in the anime at least Kanko is the talented opposite, and as a detective he ought be keen enough to know that sometimes the shy and ditzy are the sharpest wits around. If Kanako is still a Meruru idol in this game then maybe I can see Daisuke looking down on entertainers in that case, or did he long assume that she might be unworthy of his son by being (fact or not) promiscuous as it's been mentioned that Kanako ("just"?) runs around with lots of boys? Or is it Daisuke just shuns Kanako because he views her as Kyosuke's robbing the cradle? And you mention (I think) that Kanako has no friends of her own at her wedding?? What's going on? Is she a rouge girl on the sly or what??
Anyway, thanks your summary, between all this and her hair, Kanako's turned out a more complex character than I bargained for. Maybe these open questions are escape hatches to define her past and character in future games or stories (regrettably, I can't grab the manga! Heck, even take a well-researched Kanako fanfic at this point!)

But boy, am I late for the party. I'm just about to complete it, though. Only Ayase left. >.< (save the worst best for last)
Spoiler for reaction to game:
Well, that was a fun play.
Eeeh... as for the interview, bakAnki, lemme help you. XD
It was an interview with Fushimi-sensei, editor from Dengeki Bunko Miki, producer Futami, and development planner 打海 (dunno how to read this).

Ah sorry B2-Lancer if my writing makes a confusion, I have much more to learn ^^
I'll try to answer your questions with the best of my understanding of what the game showed, hope Mystic_Vegetto, roankun, sumeragi, relentlessflame, or other can correct me if I'm wrong on some parts...
Saori didn't actively try to break Kyousuke and Kanako like what Ayase and Kuroneko did. Remember that Kanako's route is branched from Ayase's so the relationship of character on Kanako's route is inherited from Ayase's. On Kanako's route Saori has befriend Ayase so it's only logic Saori will try to straighten the misunderstanding between her two friends, Ayase and Kuroneko. When Saori calls them, I think she didn't rattle Kyousuke out like what Kuroneko did to Kirino on Ayase route on previous game/disc 1, she only wanted to make both of them got along but she probably didn't realize that they would gang up against Kyousuke and his girlfriend.
Beside on Kirino's route, Saori and Kanako got along pretty well since they took bridal lesson together. It's just the circumstance on Kanako's route that make her took neutral position, or rather leaned to Kuroneko and Kirino more.
As for Daisuke, well he is strict and perhaps has old-fashioned way of thinking, so I think because of that, for him Kanako who gots a idol job and has too casual attitude/mannerism, if not for slightly rude/disrespectful towards senior, is not worth to be his son's girlfriend. Remember that Daisuke didn't even permit Kirino's model job until Kirino promised that it won't affect her study.
But in the end Daisuke also accepted Kanako even it's off screen as we only know because Kyousuke said to Kanako that Daisuke surprised to her change and apologized for his behavior the first time they met.
She told on her narration that her ex-classmates and coworkers did attend her wedding, as well as her parents who hadn't gotten along with her for long time, they congratulated her and Kyousuke.
Even on the Kirino route, her omake scenario, and the light novel Kanako isn't really stupid as she looks. Granted, like Kyousuke said she can be very annoying sometimes and really straightforward, but Kanako really cared about people closes to her. She's accepting Kirino's hobby on Ayase and Kirino route, she's also taking the initiative to learn cooking as attempt to gets closer to her parents on the light novel, and on Kirino route she is changed her hair color to its natural color again and taking a bridal class with Saori for the same reason, to get closer to her parents. On the omake scenario she confesses to Daisuke that her reason to be an idol is to make lot of money so she can be independent and won't burden Kanata anymore.
Maybe I'll wrote my thought of each route on my next post :3
And you're doing awesome. C'mon man, please finish the entire article, you do it much better and accurate than me anyway X3
The things I can understand are only:
- Most of participants there are grinning like silly while playing the game, and back when they read the script. The producer felt he wanted to skip Tamaki scenes on lolicon route because of embarrassment.
- The producer said the yandere Ayase getting jealous of other girls is one of the scene he didn't really like. While the Dengeki editor said one of that scene for him is when Kyousuke said fujoushi is part of Sena when Sena asked Kyousuke if he's fine with her fujoushi side.
- Fushimi wonders about the scene where Kanako is taught by Manami to cook. He wonders about the opinion of the people who read the novel before playing the game, the vice versa, or people who only play the game.
- Daisuke and Yoshino's past has been thought by Fushimi from the start, not when the game was developed. I think this question referred to their personal love experience on Kanako route?
- Daisuke omake scenarios was made because the development planner guy (打海) likes Daisuke and thought of the idea and wanted to see it.
- Joking about OreImo Portable The Golden for the next game. The producer said that he wanted to make next game if possible but it won't be Portable series anymore.

As for the others, in Ayase's route, I wanted to see the issue with "Yamineko" continue/resolved, but it didn't happen. And then in Kuroneko's and Manami's routes, Kirino is angry at them. So instead of resolving those issues, the only thing that really happened was just you continuing to date them and going places.
But I still enjoyed the game regardless. But yeah, I just can't see a continuation happening. If they do another game, they would pretty much have to start all over again in my view.

Didn't remember until just now, so this Ayase CG is discarded (or replaced with the one we get with zoomed-in Kyousuke face). I remember saw it on weekly article or magazine scan months ago, wonder if there's more CG that wasn't included on the final version of the game ^^

Again thanks for a job well done in the summaries!
(Wanting to see all kinds of story combos makes me even more anxious to see this prototype desktop animation production system on "G4" on cable which you can rip, morph and process any cartoon or anime into features almost indistinguishable from the real thing. Can't wait for Ore gans to get their hands on one!)

Now that Ive played all the routes and currently have free time, allow me to write my thought of the disc 2 :3
:: Story
With the basic premise to date almost all heroines of OreImo series from the start, its already sounds interesting for fan of the series. I mean where else we can find this kind of story other than fan fiction or doujinshi XD But I feel that routes that written by Fushimi-sensei himself are more interesting, have great balance of touching moment and hilarity, with well done dialogues and have the feels of completion with the relationship of most characters resolved; while those werent written by him mostly feel just so-so.
And the year-after endings with the children are really fun.
:: Graphic
The improvement of Live2D sprites were great, make the movements smoother. But still I have this feels that new characterss sprite (Sena, Kanako, Saori) are better than improved old characterss.
:: Sound
All of the voice actors/actress are really done great, great job here. Their acting make up for the lack of expression that the 2D or Live2D sprites cant show. I always laughed every time I replay the scene where Kyousuke met Kirara on Kanako route (Anta tte hito waaaa~~~!!), Kirinos FUOOOOOO!! on her route, or other hilarious lines. As well as the icha icha/flirty scenes. I usually use the backlog to replay those lines over and over before proceed to the next scene But I wonder why they dont get all the narration to be voiced too like disc 1.
As for the BGM music, I still dont get bored of it even though they use (I think) all of the BGM from previous game. The BGM really emphasize the current feeling of each scene perfectly. And for the ED song, Nexus is much much better than Secret x2 from previous game ^^
:: Gameplay
The ORE system and Two-Shot system are still here and they make Two-Shot easier here with the help option, which is great. And the addition of the changing perspective is really great because now we can also hear each girls thought on the story.
The minus point is probably the game is too linear once we get to specific girl route. Theres almost no story variation for bad ending, with the exception of Ayase that has lots of it, since usually the bad ending is you only dont get to see the epilogue/years-after scene.
:: End verdict
Being an OreImo fan, this is a godly game for me. Well maybe not really a godly since there are definitely some room that can be improved on story department, especially the routes that arent written by Fushimi-sensei (Manami and Kuroneko, Im looking at you). But still, this is a really fun game nonetheless.
And as for my thought for each route, Ill just put it behind spoiler tag for convenience

Forgot to rank my favorite routes on my previous post >3<
1. Hard to decide between Kirino or Kanako
3. Ayase
4. Saori
5. Lolicon/Tamaki
6. Sena
7. Yamineko
8. Kuroneko & Manami
But my favorite girl on the series is still............. Ran! One of Kirino's friend from manga!....... Yeah right Of course it's Ayase XDD
Ah yeah, I can't read the text on some Kirino and Kanako's years-after scene about Kyousuke's job. What is his job on Kirino and Kanako's route? Did he ends up being middle manager on average company like what Kanako predicted he's gonna be the first time they met?

is there a way to make the first column of a report use the an alternating background color?
I have the background color set for the entire row however it does not work for the first column if the color is set to an expression. If I just set it to a color i.e. red it works just fine. If I insert a dummy column to the left it works just fine (but the dummy column does not work, presumably because it is first??).
In the file below only the textbox for part number does not show an alternating background. All others work correctly.
<TableRows> <TableRow> <TableCells> <TableCell> <ReportItems> <Textbox Name="PartNumber"> <rd:DefaultName>PartNumber</rd:DefaultName>
Hola, I have a gridview which is bound to a sds which returns 7 columns and I added two columns from the GUI. What I want is to fill up the 9th column with DDLs and these DDLS will get their data from a different sds which is using a stored procedure with a single parameter. I created the 9th row, used template field, made the sds for 9th row, the stored_procedure, threw a DDL in Item template and all I need now is to pass a parameter in the first column to the sds in the 9th column. I can code this but i'm getting tired of aspx.cs :) and would like to do it from the GUI.
Hi, I have a requirement to hide a field called details on a gridview
and show it in a jQuery modal dialog when users click on the Customer
ID hyperlink. This grid is created programmatically. I will be hiding
the details column via the CSS display:none property. Does some one know
how can I pass the grid's selected hidden column value to the modal?
Here is some of the code I started: GridView mygrid = new GridView(); //.....................................More columns code for the grid
//Here is where I need to pass the Details column value associated with
the customer ID field selected to the Modal and open the Modal
dialog. HyperLinkField linkField = new HyperLinkField(); string[] dataNavigateUrlFields = { "CustomerID" }; linkField.DataTextField = "CustomerID"; linkFi
Scenario: If you create a table with a column of type nvarchar, populate it with some content and try to modify it using the WebMatrix editor, from nvarchar to ntext, it does not display any error message or warning that this is not possible. It silently saves and reverts the change, back to nvarchar. Wasted some hours on this issue as I thought my column was ntext, but in fact was still nvarchar.
Expected behavior: It should change to ntext, or if SQL CE doesn't support that, it should notify the user that no change was applied.
I'am using dnamic entity with EF4. On a list page of a table, I would like to display a column containing information from a child table of the current element. Sample :
Order List :
Order Data | Required Date | Shipped Date | etc... | ... | Customer Name (foreign key with tostring() method override) | Customer Postal Code (Column that I want to add) |
I don't known how to do that. Is it possible ? Maybe I have to to create my own Metadata proxy that will add dynamicly a column on the MetaColumn list of the table.
Does someone have an easier or better idea ?
Thank you for any help.
I am having trouble finding out where and how to HTML Encode a cell's data on the Dynamic Data (v4.0) gridview of List.aspx. As a simple case, suppose I have formatted cell data that is A<br/>B in the DB. Obviously, I want A stacked on B in the cell.
It seems gridView1.HtmlEncode = true has gone away.
So maybe I'll try to catch it on the RowDataBound event:
protected void GridView1_RowDataBound(Object sender, GridViewRowEventArgs e) { if (e.Row.RowType == DataControlRowType.DataRow) { // Html Encode the cells } }
but this event never fires?
Has anyone figured out how to properly render HTML tags data in the List.aspx's GridView1?
If I figure this out, then I can add a MetaAttribute called something like [EncodeAsHtml(true)] and be on my way. Thanks!
After looking for a driver to open legacy dbf drivers to connect, the next level trouble a have is this one:
first, i can retrieve the data but when trying to filter by a parameter (somesc columns) i get an error.
The error says about the database can't determine some blah blah!
The error is a columm tha is formated ( 1234 ) about 8 space, fixed. The values in the query appears like that. I resolve this by Trimming Ltrim(ColumnName) and i get this (1234).
Now in SqlExpress, how can i filter by the new Trimmed Expression? (This is a primary key that the DBF use)
SELECT column1, column2, column3TABLE FoxProDB
SELECT Ltrim(column1) as NewExp, column2, column3TABLE FoxProDBWhere NewExpre = @NewExpres -Error-
Hi Everyone!
I know this is probably a very basic question but how do I keep a column's text values unique in SQL server (ie for a unique username)? The column is not an integer it's varchar(50), and it's not the primary key but I could make it the primary key if recommended.
The front end could handle it; where the user would enter text, it's validated, then a query is done to see if that username is available. If so, then user can decide to choose it and an insert is done, if not they pick a new username and process repeats. With this approach, the responsibility of keeping the value unique solely rests on the front end, nothing on the database side.
Is this the correct way to handle this?
Thank you!
I follow the tutorial and create DAL with Dataset. I created a Table Adapter with many column, but when i Call a simple Get for 2 column only. The system display 2 column and the rest column with empty data.
My question is that will this affect the performance? because i only need 2 column.
example: Table with 40 column define in Dataset in DAL. I have GetMember from Dataset with 40 column, some request only 1 column (with 39 empty), some request 22 column (with 18 empty column). Will this affact the performance?
Should i create a seperate DatasetAllColumn, Dataset1Column, Dataset22Column ?? so system only return exact column i need. and hofully the performance is optimized to it best.
I need to develop 3 pages.
On the first page user defines atmost 7 column names to be displayed on the report. I'm saving these names in a Sql DB table 'Columns' with Column_Nm and Column_ID as Table columns.
On the second page I'm retrieving column_Nm from the table and displaying them on the page so that the user enters the data. This data is saved in another table 'Summary' with the Columns column1 through column7.
on the 3rd page I need to show a report of 'Summary' table.
How do I dynamically replace column1 through column7 names with that of 'Column_Nm' on the report?
Any help/suggestions would be appreciated.

I think there should be no qualms about trading Fisher (Monta Ellis) or Murphy (Ike Diogu). I want to see Zarko get time behind Diogu, he is a nice change of pace to what Diogu brings and Ellis should be getting plenty of time behind Baron. That alone will free up 14-15 mil of contract.
The dark cloud of course is J-Rich. I've said many times that J-Rich might be the ticket to trading all these other players but there is another aspect. Quality guard/small forward types are the easiest pieces to find. Look at the last two NBA champs. They had Rip Hamilton and Manu Ginobili. Nice players but certainly not the best in the league at their position.
If we make this trade that is this thread's topic and draft Brandon Roy than we have what we need to contend immediately. I'll make it even sweeter for Orlando since they like Darko so much:
Golden State gives: J-Rich, Murphy, Fisher
Orlando gives: Grant Hill, Hedo Turkoglu, Pat Garrity
They choose who they want to give up, Turkoglu or Darko.
You seem like you want the Warriors to become one of the worst teams in the nba! Moreso!
JRich is the best player right now and getting better! Fisher seems expendable so I'll agree. Murphy is also expendable because of Diogu but he could be used to obtain an established player.
The Magic players you listed are obviously just to dump salary but starting from scratch is something the Warriors have already done and not something that should be done again! You never know whether the players you draft will be good and whether you can attract good freeagents, which is something the Warriors have not done well before!
JRich is worth the money he gets paid, Murphy is not that bad and even Fisher has played effective this season. The Warriors are now at the point where they need to build using what they've got and not go backwards!

Portsmouth administrator Trevor Birch has warned the club will go out of business on August 10 unless an agreement can be reached over the wages of their senior players.
Eight senior players were understood to be in disagreement over unpaid salaries, though Luke Varney has since joined Leeds.
Supporters group SOS Pompey handed over an open letter to the players at the club's training ground in a bid to persuade players to compromise on their wages and Birch has said former owner Balram Chainrai could pull out of a proposed deal to buy the club if more players are not moved on.

For their first single off their forthcoming album, OneRepublic told CBS Local that they wanted to serve a greater purpose than having another radio hit.
"Feel Again" hit radio airwaves yesterday and the band admits the song has a different flavor than fans may expect.
"The song itself was kind of a departure for anything we've ever done before on every level," frontman Ryan Tedder said. "It's very much an uptempo song and has a lot of gospel influence in it."
Tedder revealed that last year he was inspired by gospel melodies and harmonies.
"For whatever reason that's something that was resonating with me and I felt that I really wanted to shift as many of our songs into that vibe as possible," he said.
In an interview with 92.3 NOW/New York the band revealed that a portion of the proceeds made from the sales of the single will be donated to Save the Children's fall campaign Every Beat Matters. The program aims to reach children in need of lifesaving care before it's too late. In partnership with OneRepublic, Every Beat Matters traveled the world and recorded actual heartbeats of children in need. OneRepublic used these to create an original song that you can download to help us save children around the world.
"It literally saves kids lives," Tedder said. "We had this [song] idea and we didn't finish it until Save the Children came along. We saw what the program was, the children and their heartbeats in Malawi and Guatemala, they recorded a bunch of kid's heartbeats and we now incorporated it into the song."
Tedder said their partnership with Save the Children was serendipitous and it actually helped him finish the lyrics to the song.
"Initially we just had the beginning of a song. Save the Children came along and it coincided with another thought that we had as a band which was on this album to really focus on doing stuff that actually served a greater purpose other than just putting out another song," he said. "The process of trying to get hits or constantly keep up with the Joneses, after a certain point it's like, 'Wait. Why are we doing this?'"
"The Save the Children program added a serious amount of gravity to what we were doing and the amount of kids that we would be helping with donating proceeds from the sale of the single," he continued. "It also helped me finish the lyrics. I actually had some kind of direction and weight."
"Feel Again" hit radio airwaves yesterday. The song will be available for download August 27.

We were just getting excited for Louis Leterrier's G, in which the Earth stops spinning and gravity stops. And now there's another great take on the burgeoning "rotational disaster" subgenre.
(Update: To be clear, the "Earth stops spinning and gravity stops" thing is the premise of Louis Leterrier's movie. The novel we're discussing here is just one in which the Earth's rotation slows down and this causes disasters.)
According to Publishers Marketplace, this is the next big thing:
Simon & Schuster editor and Columbia MFA grad Karen Thompson Walker's debut novel THE AGE OF MIRACLES, about an eleven-year-old girl and her family who wake one morning in their modest suburban home in California, to discover, along with the rest of the world, that the rotation of the earth has suddenly begun to slow, setting a suspenseful family drama of the lows and highs of a girl's adolescence and a poignant story of first love against this looming global disaster, to Kate Medina at Random House, in a major deal, said to be low seven-figures, in a pre-empt, for publication in 2012, by Eric Simonoff at William Morris Endeavor (US).
It almost sounds like a literary take on The Core. Maybe they can get Hilary Swank to come back and star in the movie adaptation of this version, so she can redeem herself from her one science fiction bomb?

Lee Brice's 'Hard to Love' Is Certified Gold
Lee Brice's streak of success is not showing any signs of slowing, and he is now celebrating a little more. His latest single and the title track to his current album, 'Hard to Love,' has been certified gold for digital downloads exceeding 500,000 copies sold.
'Hard to Love' is the second single off of Brice's sophomore album on Curb Records, which has already spawned the chart-topping 'A Woman Like You.'
"I don't really know what to say except thank you to my fans for all the support," Brice says. "I can tell when I'm out there on the road every night that the momentum of ['Hard to Love'] just keeps picking up, and it's because my fans continue to believe in me. They've stuck by me, and I can tell they're in for the long haul."
The latest success comes hot on the heels of 'A Woman Like You' reaching platinum certification. This week, 'Hard to Love' continues its climb up the country singles chart, where it is currently in the Top 15 — and rising.

ARLINGTON, Texas — Josh Donaldson knew it was going to take a perfect play to keep him from scoring the tying run for the A's in the ninth inning.
The Texas Rangers made the play, throwing Donaldson out at the plate to end their series-clinching 4-3 victory over the AL West-leading A's on Thursday.
Donaldson, who reached on a two-out single off closer Joe Nathan, was trying to score from first when Seth Smith dumped a full-count pitch into center that short-hopped and caromed away from charging center fielder Craig Gentry.
"As soon as I saw it hit his chest, I was gone. It took a perfect throw to get me," Donaldson said. "It was frustrating because it was the worst outcome we could have had."
Gentry recovered quickly to get the ball and threw to Elvis Andrus. The shortstop made a perfect relay to catcher A.J. Pierzynski, who was blocking the plate and tagged out Donaldson to end the game.
"We've had some issues getting runs today, so aggressive is fine with me," manager Bob Melvin said.
With coach Mike Gallego signaling him to stop, after initially waving him around the base, Donaldson never slowed down around third base.
Oakland scored single runs to go ahead in three consecutive innings, only to give up the lead each time.
Ian Kinsler put the Rangers ahead for the only time with his two-out single in the seventh.
Texas, which had lost seven of its previous nine games, pulled within a game of the A's by winning three times in the four-game set. The division's top two teams don't play again until the first weekend of August.
"Any win right now is special, especially against a good team like the A's, especially to win the series," Andrus said.
Oakland, which went from a seven-game deficit in mid-May to starting this series with a season-high three-game division lead, lost for the fifth time in seven games.
"That was as frustrating as any loss we've had," manager Bob Melvin said. "They played hard on every single pitch and every single out, but it seemed everything that could go wrong did go wrong."
Kinsler came to the plate in the seventh right after Leonys Martin's hustling infield single, getting to first base ahead of Sean Doolittle (3-2) when the pitcher was taking the toss from first baseman Brandon Moss. That loaded the bases with two outs, and Kinsler hit a full-count pitch through the middle of the infield.
After Coco Crisp had a leadoff walk in the eighth, John Jaso hit a deep flyball. Right fielder Nelson Cruz made a leaping catch and held on when he hit in midair the inverted wall in front of the Texas bullpen. Jed Lowrie, already with three hits, then grounded into an inning-ending double play.
"I didn't think there was any doubt that it wasn't going out," Melvin said of Crisp. "From the swing and the sound of it, I thought it was a home run."
Oakland went ahead 2-1 in the sixth when pinch-hitter Chris Young drew a bases-loaded walk before Robbie Ross, the fourth pitcher in the inning, came on to get three straight outs.
Lowrie was in a 7-for-48 slide before his three hits, including his RBI single in the fifth for a 1-0 lead.
Geovany Soto, catching until Pierzynski hit for him in the seventh, led off the Rangers fifth with a tying solo homer to straightaway center. It looked like Crisp had a chance to make a homer-stealing grab, but ran into the 8-foot wall about the same time he was reaching up to try to make the catch.
As soon as Soto hit the ball, third baseman Donaldson tossed his glove up in the air. Donaldson wouldn't comment about that after the game.
Andrus had a sac fly in the sixth, but his throwing error an inning later put Oakland up again. Andrus went to his right to make a nice grab on Donaldson's grounder, but threw to third, where the ball ricocheted off the leg of the sliding Lowrie and allowed him to score.
But that was all the A's got in the seventh, when they left the bases loaded for the second inning in a row. They left 13 runners on base.
Tanner Scheppers (5-0), the fourth reliever after starter Josh Lindblom, worked 1 2-3 scoreless innings before Nathan struck out two in the ninth and got his 22nd save in 23 chances.
Notes: In their seven previous plate appearances before Thursday with the bases loaded, the A's had been 4 for 4 with a homer, a walk and two sacrifice flies. ... Oakland is 30-16 in night games, but 13-16 in the day. ... Texas finished 4-7 on its season-long 11-game homestand. ... Kinsler got his 161st career stolen base after his go-ahead single, matching Bump Wills for the most in Rangers history. ... Pierzynski had a pinch-hit single in the seventh and scored the go-ahead run.

OKLAHOMA CITY, Okla. – The latest ESPN.com/USA Softball rankings are out and the Lipscomb Lady Bison softball team is receiving votes for the second time this season.
Lipscomb (16-7) earned two votes this week. Winners of eight of their last nine, the Lady Bison are on a roll entering this weekend's Mustang Classic in San Luis Obispo, Calif.
The Lady Bison are receiving votes for the second time this year. Lipscomb received two votes in the preseason poll, released Jan. 24. The Lady Bison last received votes in a regular-season poll April 20, 2010.
Lipscomb has gotten contributions at the plate and on the mound this year. Senior pitcher Whitney Kiihnl is one of the top pitcher's in any conference, with 13 wins and six shutouts already to her credit with the season just over a month old. Redshirt freshman Ashley Anderson has come into her own behind Kiihnl, allowing just two earned runs in her last 27 innings pitched and none since March 3.
The Lady Bison have been fierce at the plate as well. Junior transfer Kelsey Cartwright leads Lipscomb with seven home runs and 18 RBI, while Kiihnl's .457 average paces the team. Senior catcher Mollie Mitchell has shrugged off a slow start and has driven in eight runs in the past five games.
At this weekend's Mustang Classic, the Lady Bison face a trio of strong squads that provide a challenge in the final weekend of nonconference play. Host Cal Poly, UNLV and Ball State were all top-150 ranked in the RPI to end the 2011 season.
Check back on Lipscombsports.com for more information on the Lady Bisons softball team, and be sure to like us on Facebook (Lipscomb Softball) and follow us on Twitter (@LU_Softball).

Some say diamonds are a girl's best friend, but the girls of Random Garden Club prefer blue ribbons. Matter-of-fact, they prefer double-blue, and that is exactly what they were awarded this past week at the Philadelphia Flower Show.
The theme of this year's show was "Brilliant!," and, according to the judges, so was "Simply Fascinating," RGC's Store Window-Class entry.
The Flower Show has been a tradition in Philadelphia since 1829, founded by the Pennsylvania Horticultural Society, the first American horticultural society. PHS has been the official sponsor since 1968, and the event is the largest and longest-running indoor flower show in the world. To many people, it is the harbinger of spring.
This year is not the first time Random Garden Club has exhibited and won double-blue in a competitive class. It earned equal accolades in its 2009 Italian Arbor exhibit.
"We are over the moon," said Jenn Rall, co-chair of the RGC Flower Show committee."We felt we had a first class idea, but after months of working so closely on the exhibit we couldn't really gain perspective until installation day."
And once the installation was complete, RGC members were sure they had a winner.
"On installation day I knew we had nailed it," said Dena Baker, artistic contributor and long time exhibitor, "but I didn't say a word to anyone else. I figured there is no reason to jinx a judging!"
Participating in a competitive class takes months of planning and work. The Flower Show classes are announced at the previous year's show, and garden clubs submit a bid for a class and, hopefully, are awarded entry for their first or second choice.
The Store Window-Class was the first choice for Random Garden Club, and the first committee meeting was held in May. Meetings became regular in the fall and rose to a fevered pitch in January, reaching manic level by February. Activity culminated in absolute frenzy during March 1 installation, through daily maintenance at 6 a.m. and ending in an evening breakdown on March 10.
Through thar process, the RGC decided to focus on a hat shop display with fascinators, those small, whimsical, sometimes wack-a-doodle little hats that all the British Royals wear tipped on the side of their heads. If you watched Kate and Will's wedding, you have seen your fill of fascinators.
"Having a concept is one milestone, but making it become a clear reality for flower show visitors (and judges) is the stuff of hard work," explained committee co-chair Nadine Ball. "What will the store look like? How will the fascinators be displayed? What colors? What flowers? What else?"
The design-types decided the store would have a modern feel and chose a cool gray background and a textured black wall where the hats would be mounted. Hat boxes with store logos were created. The flower fascinators themselves were made in modern, uniform colors, choosing flowers of greens and yellows and spotted throughout with white. The 'what else' became jeweled pins and pearls.
"I thought designing the hats would be the difficult task," said Gretchen Liechner, artistic contributor and plant material specialist, "but following the flower show rules is much more challenging."
The rules consist of specific measurements, specific paint or coverings, nothing allowed to be attached to the space except by suspension from a bar above the display, and absolutely everything flame-retardant, and dipped, not sprayed. Further, during setup there are to be no hammers, no electricity, no pounding, no attaching, no buzz-saws. Of course. And they recommended not using Plexiglas (the dust factor), in which case RGC used Plexiglas for three stands and the store sign. Of course.
"We just had to go for it," co-chair Rall said. "Nothing else would look as sleek and modern."
An exhausted and excited RGC committee installed at 6 a.m. and then retreated for breakfast to the Down Home Diner in Reading Terminal Market, as was tradition. It was now the judges' turn with the exhibit. Criteria used were originality of design, quality and condition of flowers and plants, scale, execution of exhibit intent and compliance with class description on a scale of 100 points.
The first judging March 1 awarded first place. The second judging, March 6 awarded first place with a perfect score. No diamonds required.
"The judges really understood and appreciated our exhibit," said Paula Phelan, PHS member and RGC committee member. "They commented it was 'Fun. Fanciful. Fascinating' . . .(and that it ) . . . 'warrants royal patronage.' Those comments make me feel that our efforts really paid off."
Members of the RGC Flower Show Committee are Jenn Rall and Nadine Ball, co-chairs, Dena Baker, Gretchen Leichner, Susan McCune, Tandy Hawkins, Peggy Conver, Paula Phelan, Barbara Olson and Suzanne Duffy.
Barbara Olsen is a member of the Random Garden Club.

Chief Justice John Roberts last week did something that, in polarized Washington, may turn out to be more important than saving Obamacare.
He showed that compromise can be consistent with principle. More than that: He showed that compromise, for someone who respects and knows how to use the democratic process, can be the best way to advance principle.
It would have been unhealthy for the country if five Republican-appointed justices had nullified the Democratic-approved health-care law. Honoring what he called "a general reticence to invalidate the acts of the Nation's elected leaders," Roberts led the court away from that fate.
But in honoring the principle of judicial deference, Roberts didn't abandon his cherished principle of federal restraint. On the contrary, he managed to shape a decision that in coming years may severely restrict federal authority.
Whether or not you share his enthusiasm for such restriction, there is a lesson here that has been lost on many Washington politicians, and it's not just that compromise is essential to the proper functioning of a democracy. It's that compromise can be a practical means to a principled goal.
A similar lesson is unfolding halfway around the world, in the Southeast Asian nation of Burma, where democracy leader Aung San Suu Kyi recently sprung from house arrest into the whirl of day-to-day politics.
Despite my admiration for Roberts's behavior last week, I'm not elevating him to her plane. In modern history it's hard to find anyone who can match her combination of steely determination and good-humored lack of bitterness. Nelson Mandela and Vaclav Havel are two who would make that very short list.
But she, too, is in the process of marrying conviction to practicality.
Now 67, Aung San Suu Kyi is the daughter of Burma's independence hero, a general who was assassinated when she was 2. She spent much of her life abroad but returned to Burma in 1988 to care for her dying mother and was swept up in a movement for democracy.
She electrified crowds with her modest eloquence and confounded soldiers by walking, alone and unarmed, directly toward their guns. Her democracy party overwhelmingly won an election in 1990 that the ruling generals effectively annulled. She was awarded the Nobel Peace Prize in 1991 but did not travel to Norway to accept it because she feared the generals would not let her back into her country. She spent most of the next two decades locked up, separated from her two sons, and apart from her husband when he grew sick and died.
Now she has been allowed to run for parliament (she won, easily) and travel abroad. At every step she has been criticized by some for sticking to principle too stubbornly and by others for being too willing to compromise with the generals and former generals who still call the shots.
Her supposed intransigence always has infuriated those more eager to do business with Burma than promote its democracy. Last week, in response to her opposition to U.S. firms dealing with Burma's corrupt state-owned energy company, outgoing Virginia Sen. James Webb (D) peevishly asked whether "an official from any foreign government should be telling us what sectors that we should invest in and not invest in."
But at the same time she has alarmed some of her supporters by embracing this chance at reform, even though there's no guarantee (as she well knows) that it will bear fruit. She speaks warmly of President Thein Sein, takes her seat in a parliament the regime still controls and urges foreigners to invest, as long they do so in a "democracy-friendly and human-rights friendly" way.
"I strive to be as practical as my father was," she told the British Parliament, recalling that when a British general accused him of switching from the Japanese to the British side during World War II because the British were winning, he replied, "It wouldn't be much good coming to you if you weren't, would it?"
She deflects canonization and any romanticizing of what she's been through. Finally accepting her prize in Oslo last month, she began one sentence this way: "Of the sweets of adversity — and let me say that these are not numerous . . ."
But she went on to note that the most precious of those "sweets" was "the lesson I learnt on the value of kindness. Every kindness I received, small or big, convinced me that there could never be enough of it in our world. To be kind is to respond with sensitivity and human warmth to the hopes and needs of others."
It's too much to expect us normal folks to match Aung San Suu Kyi's serene ability to find humanity in those who have treated her most vilely. But tea party Republicans and MoveOn Democrats might learn, if not from her then from the chief justice, that a studied embrace of compromise can be a means to advance principle, not betray it.

BOSTON, Mass. – After a very impressive sophomore season, Sean Bingham (Garden City, N.Y.) was named the New England Women's and Men's Athletic Conference (NEWMAC) Athlete of the Year, as announced by the league office on Tuesday afternoon. He is the second played in MIT men's soccer history to ever receive the honor, the last being Nick Nestle in 2003. Bingham was named the conference Rookie of the Year last season.
With the award, Bingham earned an automatic spot on the All-Conference team and was joined by three of his teammates. Bingham, fellow sophomore Austin Freel (San Diego, Calif.) and senior Matthew Monheit (Abington, Pa.) were named to the First Team, while senior Andrew Fijan (West Chester, Pa.) was tabbed to the Second Team. For the first time in his career, Mike Singleton was named Coach of the Year for leading the Engineers to a record of 13-4-2 and an undefeated record of 6-0-1 in conference play.
Bingham leads the team with his 21 goals and three assists for 45 points so far this season. He is first in the NEWMAC in goals, points, and shots, is fifth in the country for Division III in goals and recently broke the MIT school record for goals scored in a season. With two years left in his career, he is currently tied for third in the MIT record book for career goals with 37. He is one of just two Engineers to have played and started all 19 games this season. This is his first time being named First Team All-Conference, after appearing on the Second Team last year.
Having played in 18 games this season and started all but one of them, Freel is appearing on the All-Conference team for the first time. He is third on the team in both goals (6) and points (18) and tied for second in assists (6). He was most recently named to the Capital One Academic All-District men's soccer team as announced by the College Sports Information Directors of America (CoSIDA) for the first time and will appear on the national ballot to be voted on later this month.
This is the first time in his four years at MIT that Monheit has been tabbed to the All-Conference team. He is just one of two Engineers to have played and started all 19 games this season. He is second on the team with his eight goals and 24 points and first with eight assists. He is also tied for fourth in the conference in assists. He scored the lone goal of the game against Tufts University last month to lead the Engineers to a 1-0 victory. He also scored MIT's only goal against Coast Guard in the semifinals of the NEWMAC Tournament this past weekend.
Fijan has played and started in all but one game this season, scoring his lone goal of the season in MIT's 7-0 win against Framingham State University at the end of last month. He is a pivotal part of the MIT defense that has allowed just 23 goals so far this season.
After remaining undefeated in NEWMAC play, the Cardinal and Gray earned its first regular season title in a decade and the right to host the upcoming NEWMAC Tournament. In the semifinals against Coast Guard, MIT advanced over the Bears in penalty kicks, 5-4, following an amazing save by sophomore keeper Jake Amereno (Commack, N.Y.). At the finals the following day, Tech fell to Wheaton College, 1-0, but received good news on Monday afternoon in the form of an at-large bid to the NCAA Tournament. The Engineers will make their fourth national's appearance in program history when they travel to Williams College to face Western New England University at 11:00 a.m. on Saturday, Nov. 16.

A commonly glossed-over subject on complex-airplane checkouts can cost you several knots in cruise speed, and perhaps several hundred hours of operating life from your cylinders. It's not the landing gear, or a controllable-pitch propeller, or even the mixture control. Cowl flaps can have a profound, long-term effect on the health and longevity of a high-performance airplane engine -- types that already often stand a poor chance of reaching the factory recommended time before overhaul (TBO).
Why Cowl Flaps?
Although the last couple of decades have seen attempts at liquid cooling for general aviation (GA) engines, most light-plane powerplants still depend on external airflow for cooling. Cowl flaps increase cooling air flow through the engine compartment and around cylinder cooling fins. They also add air flow through the oil cooler, which is basically a radiator required to keep the inside of the engine more cool. If you're flying a turbocharged engine with an intercooler, cowl flaps may also help offset the heat of turbo boost, increasing available engine power.
How Cowl Flaps Work
An opening or door at the rear of the engine cowling, cowl flaps deflect the slipstream enough to create a low pressure area in the bottom of the engine compartment. Some designs may have cowl flaps on the sides of the cowling as well. Reduction in air pressure itself helps cool the engine; but more importantly, the low pressure that cowl flaps create pulls air through the engine compartment for increased cylinder and oil cooling. All that air flowing through the engine compartment, though, also creates a tremendous amount of drag, which will rob you of cruise airspeed.
In airplanes built for cross-country speed, this cooling drag is minimized by keeping the rear cowling opening just big enough for adequate airflow in cruise. At lower airspeeds, like takeoff and climb, the pressure differential created by the opening alone may not be enough for sufficient cooling. For cooling during these high-power/low-airspeed phases of flight, cowl flaps (controllable openings that provide a greater airflow deflection and therefore greater pressure differential) are usually standard equipment for high-performance airplanes.
But I Don't Have Cowl Flaps!
Many airplanes don't have cowl flaps. They depend on fixed slipstream-deflectors on the lower, rear cowling (a "cooling lip") to serve as a permanently open cowl flap. The cooling lip works most of the time with lower-horsepower engines. But even in those airplanes, in hot temperatures, or if you've upgraded to a more powerful engine ("hotter" in more ways than one), you'll have to sacrifice climb rate and climb at a higher indicated airspeed to effectively cool the engine.
Why It Makes A Difference
How does your cowl-flap operating technique affect performance and cylinder longevity?
- Forget to open cowl flaps for taxi and air will not flow evenly through the engine compartment. A large temperature differential may develop between dissimilar metal parts. Your engine's internal tolerances are very small and depend on even temperature distribution to reduce interference between moving parts.
- Forget to keep cowl flaps open for climb, or to open them for subsequent climbs after leveling off at intermediate altitudes, and cylinders may overheat very rapidly, with all the valve and cylinder cooling issues that result. Oil may not cool enough to help dissipate internal engine heat and intercoolers might not offset the added heat of turbocharging. Remember your cowl flaps, because it's far easier to keep the cylinders cool than it is to cool them down if they're allowed to get hot.
- Forget to close cowl flaps in cruise and cooling drag will rob several knots from the resulting cruise speed for a given power setting.
- Leave the cowl flaps open for descent and landing, and the engine may cool unevenly. Although evidence that "shock cooling" is a myth and does not affect engine longevity, it stands to reason that a more gradual temperature change is less stressful to the engine, and maintains internal engine tolerances better than more rapid temperature swings.
- Close the cowl flaps for parking, to help keep birds out of the cowling. Plug the cowl flap openings if possible between flights, with a "Remove Before Flight" tag attached to the plugs to help you remember to take them out during your next preflight.
Partial Cowl Flaps?
In general, cowl flaps should be an all-or-nothing exercise: Keep them fully open, or fully closed, as appropriate. You may be able to slightly cool a slightly hot engine by running the cowl flaps part-way open, but this takes finesse and generally isn't worth the effort. An exception is when cruising a turbocharged engine at high altitude, where cooling airflow is thin but cooling drag is still a speed drain if the cowl flaps are fully open.
Some airplanes have electrically operated cowl flaps with "Cowl Flap Open" annunciator lights. The annunciators often come on when the cowl flap is about 50-percent open, so a technique I've used in Beech Baron 58TCs and 58Ps is to run the cowl-flap motor only until the light first comes on, then turn the motor off. This leaves the cowl flaps "in trail" for high-altitude cooling with minimal cooling drag. But again, except for this limited application, it's usually best to open cowl flaps all the way when needed, and close them fully when they're not.
Remember Your Cowl Flaps
Cowl-flap use is critical but easy, and following a few simple steps can save you a lot of unnecessary expense. Here's how to remember, using the acronym COWL:
Checklists: Follow the appropriate ones -- before, during and after flight.
Open your cowl flaps for start-up, taxi, run-up, and for taxi-in after your clear the runway.
Watch cylinder and oil temperatures and close the cowl flaps as you level the aircraft into cruise flight. But if the engine is getting abnormally hot, or you're in a configuration where it's likely to get hotter (taxi, takeoff or climb), open the cowl flaps.
Leave the cowl flaps closed for descent and landing, open them again as you tax to parking, and close (and plug) them if possible when you hangar or tie down.
Proper cowl-flap use is an exercise in pilot procedure and temperature control. Follow your checklists, but do not be afraid to deviate from them if your engine temperatures begin to get too hot or cold. It's easy (and common) to brush over cowl flap use when first checking out in a complex airplane, and to dismiss improper cowl flap use as unimportant if you forget after the checkout. But along with good-condition engine baffles and proper fuel flow set-up, correct cowl flap use is vital to getting the best life out of your engine.
Fly safe, and have fun!

Where to start
From coreboot

The wiki is being retired!
Documentation is now handled by the same processes we use for code: Add something to the Documentation/ directory in the coreboot repo, and it will be rendered to https://doc.coreboot.org/. Contributions welcome!
Unfortunately we don't have much documentation to provide a nice learning curve. You can get help on IRC or the Mailinglist, and if you're so inclined, we'd really really love contributions in the area of How Tos and documentation.
That said, we have a couple of lists of possible tasks:
- Project_Ideas contains projects that should be useful for GSoC-type timeframes, ie. 3 months or so. It also contains lists of project members that are interested in each project, so they volunteer to mentor newcomers (probably outside GSoC, too)
- Infrastructure_Projects are mostly cleanup projects. That sounds boring, but some of them might be a good entry point to various subsystems of coreboot, since you're exposed to a whole lot of code, while working on a relatively constrained task.
- Finally, we keep some TODOs on Trello. While this is mostly a personal collective notepad of a couple of developers, feel free to claim items there.
For all of them: We're a generally friendly community (though you might encounter a grumpy developer sometimes - we're just human, too), and like to help people who want to get started.

Officer Roster
The more you play Memoir '44 Online against live opponents (but not Johnny the Computer AI!), the more experience you will gain. Eventually, you will begin to move up the ranks in your career as an army Officer.
Initially, you start the game as a Cadet. To be promoted to Second Lieutenant, you will need to score at least 3 victories against other human opponents.
Moving further up the ranks will progressively become more challenging, reflecting the skills you will have developed. Exactly what is required to move beyond Second Lieutenant is still Classified, and has only been discovered by a few, but Intelligence reports are beginning to come in, offering tantalizing hints of what it may take to advance one's career.
By default, you receive a US Army Officer Insignia and Title, but you may choose to switch this to a diferent nationality: British, Russian, French, German, Japanese or Italian. The Insignia and Title will appear next to your name, and reflect your choice of nationality. The following table gives you the correspondence between the different nationalities.

I'd suggest you also try the game if you can read Japanese/Chinese(patch released). Too much things are going on in Kanon that it's hard to say it in one page without spoilers...
Hint: It's a miracle.

Well, more depth or not, it's pretty obvious that Makoto's route will be over next week. How to make a heroine remain in the scene even after her route is complete is up to Kyoani's skill though.

I heard there is another Kanon which is 13 episodes. Which one of the Kanons should i watch first ?. I know its a remake but since already 14 episodes has passed which one do you guys recomend me to watch first base on that ?.
P.S. I know some one might have already asked the same questions in this Thread, but to avoid ( and reduce the chance ) of getting spoiled on the series i decided to reask. Sorry for if this question was already asked.

Watch the current series first. The reason that Kanon is being remade is because almost all fans agree that the original wasn't done particularly well. Watching the bad version first will simply spoil you before you see it done well.

I'll ditto that ... I just got through rewatching the first attempt (2002 - 13 ep) version. It made me remember what was so good about it -- but it also made me remember just how bad the art and animation was, and how so much interesting story material was left out or changed to make it fit in 13 episodes. Almost an art crime.
Watch the 2006 version .... then maybe for historical purposes watch the 2002 just to see what I'm talking about.
If you can read japanese, there's an all-ages version available now I believe and quite frankly the H-material seemed tacked on and distractive for the story anyway.

I couldn't find the answer to this question in Kanon 2k2 or the 2k6 version. I have not played the game nor will I plan to, but since KyoAni left it out in the 2k6 (or will it be explained later? I hope it will), I'm guessing it's safe to assume it was not explained in the game, also?
Ok, we all should know Yuuichi's purpose for coming back to his childhood city, by now, to recover his lost memory and fix the events in his past. What we don't know is what made him return there. Did his parents forced him? Why did he suddenly decided to return to the town he has very little memory of? In the begining of the first episode (for Kanon 2k2 and 2k6), there was no explaination on why he just suddenly show up in a town he used to visit during his childhood. For Kanon 2k6: It was a quick introduction of him and his cousin, then move right on to the next day, the next morning waking up at his aunt's place...
Well if it isn't even explained in the game, I guess we'll never know the answer? IMO, if that's the case, that's one HUGE flaw to the story telling. Yuuichi will remain more mysterious than all the other characters, combined!
Oh and I found my answer about whom Shiroi was walking with in that scene, after re-watching "Kanon: Kazahana" again.

It's explained in the game actually.
"両親の仕事の都合で急遽引っ越しが決まり、ひとり暮らしを望んだ俺の意見は簡単に却下された。 "
"My parents had to move right away because of their work, and they simply dismissed my opinion of wanting to live alone."
"And I choose to stay in the country rather than overseas... that's why."
Hence he went to live with her aunt (Akiko).

Oh, thanks. I was watching Ishin-Digita fansub for Kanon 2k2, and missed Yuuichi's explaination at 04:40 minutes. So he did gave a reason. XD; I had been curious why he went to his aunt place all of a sudden. Kinda disappointed that KyoAni didn't bother to add that important bit of information about Yuuichi, cause it just seems he was dump back into the city for no apparent reason. I wonder why it wasn't mention or left out in the 2k6 version... or will it be explained later? I hope KyoAni explain it later in the series, because first timer watching that version will be clueless to understanding why Yuuichi is back in that town all of a sudden.

I'm hesitant to watch this anime. Some people say its good, other say its absolutely horrible. I decided to watch part of the first episode and noticed that everybody was drawn like they were retarded. Sorry if that pisses any of you off but the main character looks like a retard. Yea I know I've never seen the anime so I cant badmouth it or anything but I sure can say the character's look like little kids.
And finally I didn't come here to badmouth Kannon I would just like to know if the storyline is as good as some people say that it's worth watching. So please give me your honest opinions, call me an idiot if you would like but i would like to hear what people have to say about this anime.

Here's my 2-sentence description of Kanon(2006) on AnimeYume,
Have you watched Air(TV) before? The storylines are different, but they do share some concepts/themes. If you have liked Air(TV), then it is more than likely that you will like Kanon(2006).
As for why Ayu looks like a little kid, that is actually part of the mystery.

First of all, are you sure you're watching the right Kanon? There's Toei's Kanon that was released in 2002, and there's KyoAni's Kanon that's being aired right now. I really recommend KyoAni's version as the main character actually looks like a normal person in it(by anime standards).
Most people here are really enjoying the anime. That I can say for sure. I don't really know how to explain the exact appeal about this anime, others can do that better, but I will say it's enjoyable to me. It's got a good mix between humour and drama.

I love xmonad, because its not only the fast ! Its the best WM i ever used. I know many Operationsystems with many other GUIs, but xmonad is soooo good. Its not for the eyes – its for the brain !
xmonad is really appealing, naked and usefull.
it may be specific to me, but is ghc always so big or is it only the archlinux package that is overwhelming (~400MB.. more than jdk and .Net together)
it's scary, especially if the goal is to have a small system ^^

Storms Rip Heartland
The rain has been causing widespread flooding in hilly West Virginia, where mudslides have washed out bridges and covered roads.
Powerful storms again swept across the Midwest and beyond, knocking out power to thousands of customers and spawning tornadoes that leveled buildings and hurled mobile homes through the air.
At least nine people were killed from tornadoes and flooding, reports CBS News Correspondent Mark Strassmann.
One storm destroyed 50 homes and killed a man Sunday in Marengo, Ind., a town of 800 people about 35 miles northwest of Louisville, Ky. About 100 people took shelter at a high school when the storm struck.
Indiana Gov. Joe Kernan planned Monday to fly over areas hit by the storm — only three days after his last such trip.
"It's the worst thing I've ever been through. It was loud and noisy, windy. It was unreal," said Marengo resident Howard Lincoln, 49, who rode out the tornado under his Bronco, and later found his home still standing but knocked four feet off its foundation. "I feel lucky, totally lucky. When you look up and see that thing on top of you, you don't know what to think."
The National Weather Service said Monday it estimated the maximum wind speed in the tornado that hit Marengo at 170 mph.
After generating tornadoes during the weekend, the storm system continued toward the east and south on Monday, producing heavy rain along an arc from Louisiana to Virginia.
The rain caused widespread flooding early Monday in hilly southern West Virginia, and one man drowned in Wyoming County, authorities said. His wife was hospitalized.
Flooding and mudslides washed out bridges and covered roads in West Virginia, isolating communities throughout Mingo, Logan and Wyoming counties including the city of Williamson, which got 4.25 inches of rain in 24 hours, local officials and the National Weather Service said.
West Virginia Gov. Bob Wise declared a state of emergency Monday for the three counties. He had issued a similar declaration Friday for seven other counties pummeled by an earlier series of storms.
Also on Monday, a 7-year-old girl was killed in Giles, Tenn., when high wind collapsed a wall in her home, said supervisor Dan Creasy of the Giles County Ambulance Service.
At least 21 other people were injured in Tennessee when the line of thunderstorms ripped apart homes, destroyed a campground, knocked over trees and flooded streets, officials said. Utilities reported some 19,000 customers without power in the Chattanooga area.
Another man was killed Sunday in Missouri by a tree that slammed onto his car. On Saturday, high wind was blamed for two deaths in Kansas and three in Missouri.
The weekend storms also ripped through parts of Nebraska and Kansas.
In Indiana, one powerful storm raked across the south side of Indianapolis on Sunday, ripping the roof off a nursing home while 50 residents were inside. They were evacuated, many wrapped in sheets and blankets.
"Everything was going up in the air," said Brenda Edwards, 26, who works at a restaurant about seven miles southeast of downtown Indianapolis. "We went inside and got in the cooler."
Rain delayed the start of the Indianapolis 500 and forced a nearly two-hour interruption. Nearby, the National Weather Service said it saw evidence of a tornado touchdown close to its office on the southwest side of the city.
Sunday's storms knocked out power to more than 130,000 customers in Illinois and the St. Louis area. Flights were delayed up to three hours Sunday evening at O'Hare International Airport and two hours at Midway Airport, and roughly 100 O'Hare flights were canceled, the Chicago Department of Aviation said.
At least two tornadoes struck in southern Nebraska, and two people jogging in Omaha on Saturday were seriously injured by lightning, authorities said. The storms knocked out electricity to thousands of customers in Nebraska and Oklahoma. Tornadoes also were reported Sunday in Arkansas, but no injuries or major damage were reported.
