i second the "relais chateaux" idea. we actually held our wedding at one on a lake in switzerland. the crazy thing was that i learned quickly that outdoor weddings were completely unheard of there, and that's what we wanted, so this R.Ch. had NEVER had a wedding on their grounds (only hosted the dinner). it made me feel super spoiled to be the first and only, and it was amazing. too bad the rooms were so expensive we couldn't even stay the night!lol..

Andrei Zmievski, clarifying a misconception from his presentation at this year's OSCON, has posted this information about how transliteration support will be in PHP6.
Ryan Kennedy commented on the presentation I gave at OSCON; specifically, about the transliteration support in PHP 6. I wanted to follow up and explain exactly what it is and, unfortunately, what it is not.
Ryan was excited about the possibilities presented by transliteration, especially as it applies to representing foreign names in reader's native script (think mail readers).
Andrei explains that the functionality is a bit more tricky than it seams. Due to some issues with the English language, things can get pronounced so many different ways that it can throw the end result off.

NRL clubs step into spotlight in doping probe
North Queensland, Penrith, Canberra, Newcastle, Cronulla and Manly have come forward to acknowledge their clubs were referred to in the Australian Crime Commission's report into drugs in sport.
The NRL put the heat back on its sides after the ACC granted the league permission to notify the clubs referred to in the ACC's Project Aperio report.
The Cowboys, Panthers, Knights, Raiders, Sharks and Sea Eagles have all released statements confirming they have been contacted by the NRL.
NRL chief executive David Smith will hold a press conference at 11am (AEDT) on Tuesday.
Manly was the last team to release an official statement, stating that the club would continue to co-operate with the ACC, ASADA and the NRL.
"The Sea Eagles condemn unreservedly any use of illegal performance-enhancing substances by players," Manly general manager David Perry said.
"We are unaware of any use of illegal performance enhancing substances by any member of the Sea Eagles squad."
Perry confirmed that the club had been visited by auditors Deloitte last week to collect information relating to Manly's sports science program.
The Cowboys had put a statement out on Monday night.
"We have been mentioned in the report but we have no information on the context," Cowboys chief executive Peter Jourdain said in a statement.
"Like all NRL clubs mentioned in this report, we will co-operate fully with the NRL and ASADA.
"Until we receive a briefing on Tuesday afternoon, we will not be making any further public comment.
"We strongly support this investigation."
No other details
Penrith executive general manager Phil Gould also released a statement confirming the club's involvement.
"Last night ARL Commissioner David Smith called to inform me that the Panthers club has been 'implicated or referred to' in the Australian Crime Commission Report," Gould said.
"At this stage, that is all the information David was permitted to relay to us. No other details are available at this time."
"As we have stated previously, Panthers welcomes the opportunity to assist in any enquiry or investigation and we look forward to a speedy resolution to this matter, both for our club and the code of Rugby League."
The Knights commented on Tuesday morning, releasing a brief statement through chief executive Matt Gidley, saying that the club had been contacted overnight by the NRL but had no further information.
"Our club will co-operate with any official inquiry," Gidley said.
"We maintain full confidence under the management of Wayne Bennett.
"Until we receive further information from the NRL and / or ASADA, there is nothing further we can add."
Bennett said he is in the dark about what the Knights may be accused of.
"They want us to confess something but what are we meant to confess to," Bennett said at Knights training on Tuesday.
"Under the Hunter Sports regime there is nothing to hide. I have spoken to the players and the staff and we have nothing to hide.
"We have complied with everything we have been asked to and will continue to do so."
Bennett said everything has been above board since he arrived at the Knights at the end of 2011 but said auditors are checking records back to 2005.
Clubs were told they were in the report but were not given specific information as to the nature of the investigations, with the ACC report making links between the widespread use of banned substances, organised crime and match-fixing.
All 16 clubs were contacted for comment on Monday night, with Canterbury, Gold Coast, Melbourne, Brisbane, Parramatta, Wests Tigers and South Sydney all claiming they had not been contacted by the NRL.
The NRL said it was not legally permitted to name the clubs, or specify just how many clubs were involved.
"The information that has been passed on to the clubs is simply that they have been referred to within the report," NRL chief executive Dave Smith said.
"The NRL is working with the Australian Sports Anti-Doping Authority (ASADA) who will establish a more detailed briefing with the clubs regarding its investigation.
"The NRL does not have authority to name the clubs or confirm the number referred to in the report.
"Regardless of the outcome of any investigation, we are already committed to establishing the strongest integrity and compliance unit of any code and we are determined to see rugby league stronger for having addressed these issues."
The Raiders confirmed they had been contact by the NRL but had no further details and chief executive Don Furner said the club would assist the NRL and ACC in any investigations surrounding the club.
"Our club will continue to work with the NRL and ACC until these matters are resolved and will update our members, sponsors and supporters when we can," Furner said in the statement.
Cronulla issued a similar statement confirming that the Sharks were one of the clubs referred to in the ACC report, and saying there was no further comment.
Melbourne coach Craig Bellamy had backed calls on Monday for clubs and fans to be given some clarity.
"I think a lot of people have said in our game and in other codes that we'd like them to name names, team or individuals," Bellamy said during a press conference to announce his re-signing with the Storm.
The Nine Network on Monday claimed Curtis Johnston, a lower grader with NRL club South Sydney, had been stood down as part of an investigation into allegations he used performance-enhancing drugs.

Carnivore: 120 Recipes for Meat Lovers by Michael Symon
Paleo folks and other omnivores, your attention please. (Vegetarians and vegans, you may want to look away for a moment — try here or here!) This book is an homage to all things meaty and good. It does not hold any punches. You want your braised lamb neck? We got your braised lamb neck! Or at least, Chef Michael Symon does.
Quick Facts
• Who wrote it: Michael Symon
• Who published it: Clarkson Potter
• Number of recipes: 120 recipes, arranged into sections by Beef, Pork, Lamb & Goat, Poultry, Game, and Sides
• Recipes for right now: Pan-Roasted Sirloin with Chanterelles and Soy, Killer Hot Dogs, Stewed Tripe with Tomatoes and Olives, House Bacon, Chorizo, Leg of Lamb Souvlaki, Goat Ragu with Pappardelle, Spicy Sriracha Chicken Wings, Coriander and Orange Roasted Chicken
• Other highlights: You know what? I'm going to ahead and say it: I was a skeptic of this book. This was mostly owing to the fact that I have completely neutral feelings toward popular TV chef Michael Symon and fairly fatigued feelings about uber-macho nose-to-tail meat-worshipping books.
But doggone if he didn't win me over. I think Michael Symon hits just the right note in this book. The recipes are serious and were obviously developed with great care, while the pages surrounding them are filled with detailed information on things like smoking meat, how to pick out a good chicken, and guides to the various cuts. But the overall tone is light, engaging, and a touch silly. A truly useful book that doesn't take itself too seriously — for me, that's a winning combo.
This is not a cookbook that you'll probably cook straight through. But when you crave really good pulled pork or don't know what to do with the odd bits from your meat CSA, you can't do much better.
• Who would enjoy this book? Folks looking for more creative meat preparations, people interested in projects like smoking their own meat and making sausage.
Find the book at your local library, independent bookstore, or Amazon: Michael Symon's Carnivore: 120 Recipes for Meat Lovers by Michael Symon with Douglas Trattner

Clay as building material
- Common mineral house building materials such as concrete, brick, gypsum and aerated concrete contain natural radionuclides. This does usually not involve radiation exposure relevant to the house residents' health.
- It is currently a matter of debate whether unfired clay building materials may result in radiation exposures critical to health, because unfired clay can emit the radioactive gas thoron into indoor air.
- Unlike radon of which both the occurrence in buildings and health effects have been studied well, thoron requires further research to facilitate a reliable evaluation of its health implications.
Common mineral house building materials such as concrete, brick, gypsum and aerated concrete contain natural radionuclides. This does usually not involve radiation exposure relevant to the house residents' health.
It is currently a matter of debate whether unfired clay building materials may result in radiation exposures critical to health. The reason for this is because unfired clay can emit the radioactive gas thoron into indoor air. It cannot be ruled out that elevated thoron levels occur in indoor air in particular cases.
Radon-222 and Radon-220 (also termed thoron) both are isotopes of the natural gaseous element radon. The term "radon" usually signifies the isotope Radon-222 produced during the decay of uranium. The term "thoron" points to the fact that Radon-220 originates from the decay of thorium.
Unlike radon of which both the occurrence in buildings and health effects have been studied well, thoron requires further research to facilitate a reliable evaluation of its health implications.
Radon and thoron in buildings
A radon problem mainly occurs when a lot of radon from the subsoil enters a house. It has been established that elevated radon concentrations in buildings increase the lung cancer risk. Thoron is formed in the ground, too. However, with a half-live of only 55 seconds, it decays almost completely on its way from the ground into a house. Therefore, the subsoil is not a noteworthy source as to thoron – in contrast to radon – indoors. Elevated thoron levels can only occur when greater amounts of thorium from building materials are directly released into a house.
The assumption that unfired clay could give rise to health-relevant radiation exposure indoors is traced back to studies on traditional Chinese clay housings. Clay basically does not contain more uranium or thorium than other building materials, but it has a greater surface because it is very finely granulated. It is via that greater surface that more radon and thoron are released into indoor air than for instance with fired clay bricks. During stoving of bricks the grains fuse together, thereby reducing the surface. This is why fired clay bricks do not release relevant levels of radon and thoron.
The amount of radon and thoron actually occurring in clay correlates with its uranium and thorium level which varies considerably depending on its region of origin.
Further research required
Based on expansive scientific research it has been well established that radon in buildings can cause lung cancer. The risk of disease depends on the radon concentration.
As a general rule, thoron also has the potential to induce lung cancer. However, the concentration required to cause a marked increase in risk has been far less well established for thoron in indoor air than for radon. Only few studies have been carried out so far on the occurrence of thoron in buildings in Germany as compared to radon.
Further research is therefore necessary to facilitate reliable assessment of the health impacts of thoron in building materials in Germany.
Detection of thoron is difficult
For this reason, the Federal Office for Radiation Protection (BfS) has made important proposals to facilitate quality assured thoron measurements: Within the scope of departmental research the BfS has initiated and supervised the construction of calibration devices for thoron measurements at the Physikalisch-Technische Bundesanstalt (PTB, the National Metrology Institute of Germany) as well as a study of the Helmholtz-Zentrum Munich concerning the fitness of thoron measurement devices for national surveys.
BfS itself offers factory calibrations of thoron measurement instruments made in its accredited radon laboratory. Here, measuring instruments are exposed to exactly known thoron concentrations in order to ensure the accuracy of measurement results. This is a prerequisite for quality assured performance of thoron measurements which are technically very sophisticated.

Severe Weather Information
In the event the National Weather Service has issued a severe weather warning, it will be necessary to evacuate all people from campus buildings to the designated shelter areas. The security officer on duty will notify the Mary Commons information desk (switchboard 0 or 363-5011), the Monastery Reception Desk (363-7100), the BAC Information Desk (363-5777) and the Clemens Library Circulation Desk (363-5611). Those individuals will in turn assist with notifying building occupants.
It is critical that building occupants comply with requests to evacuate to shelter upon request. Currently, the College of Saint Benedict does not have a campus-wide notification system. Notification requires that officers go from building-to-building to assist occupants to shelter areas. Timing is critical to ensure the safety of all students, staff, faculty and visitors.
- Keep your "eye on the sky"
- Listen to AM Radio WWJO 1240
- Listen to FM Radio WWJON 98.1
- Watch TV reports
- Utilize computer access to watch radar maps and updates on severe weather
- If you have questions, contact one of the information desks
- Be aware of the location of your shelter areas in your building
- If you hear Civil Defense Sirens sounding, move to the lower level areas of the building that you are in and stay clear of windows
- Respond to instructions provided by security officers
Security officers will stay in touch with the Stearns County Sheriff's office and will monitor the activity of county weather spotters. Security officers, along with building managers will be responsible for assisting people to the nearest evacuation shelter on campus. Once security officers receive the all clear and notification that it is safe for occupants to come out of shelter areas, they, along with building managers, will notify persons in shelter areas that they can resume activities.
Remember, officers are listening to local law enforcement officials and have better up-to-date access to information concerning current weather issues than do other individuals. Wait for the "all clear" from officers before coming out of shelter areas. Do not rely solely on information you hear on the radio.
SEVERE THUNDERSTORM WATCH: Is an alert to the possibility of large hail, heavy rain and damaging winds, in a specified area over a specified period of time.
SEVERE THUNDERSTORM WARNING: Confirmation of a line of thunderstorms or severe thunderstorms and location, time of detection, direction and speed of movement.
TORNADO WATCH: Possibility of one or more tornadoes in the area. Continue normal activity, but watch for the storm to increase in intensity.
TORNADO WARNING: A tornado has been sighted or detected by radar and may be approaching. Be prepared to move to shelter areas.
- Bad Thunderstorms: Thunder, lightning, hard rain and strong winds
- Hail: Bullets of ice from a dark, cloudy sky
- Funnel: A dark, spinning "rope" or column from the sky to the ground
- Roaring Noise: Like ten jet planes or a hundred railroad trains.
- Respond by moving to the appropriate shelter areas in the building that you are in.
- Do not stand outside or stand looking out the window to see what is going on.
- Do not wait!
- Go to the appropriate shelter area right away!
- Curl up on the floor and protect your head and face with your arms and hands.
Residence Halls
Mary Commons Complex
- Aurora Hall -- Lower Stairwell areas and Career Resources
- Corona Hall -- Basement Lounge, Laundry Room, hallway and tunnel to Regina
- Regina -- Lower Stairwell areas, meditation room and the commuter lounge
Housekeeping and custodial maintenance staff should proceed to the lower level of Aurora.
Bookstore staff should secure the bookstore area and proceed to the lower level of Aurora.
All residents and guests should evacuate to the lower level of Margretta and assemble in the hallways to the north and south, the computer room and the laundry room and away from the center lounge area. This is to minimize exposure to flying glass.
Residence life staff and security will arrange for the basement level of the building to be opened for building occupants. Access to the basement is in the north stairwell or to the left as you head toward the recycling and garbage garage.
Brian Hall
All occupants should proceed to the lower level hallway. Both east and west end doors should be closed due to the exposure to flying glass and away from the computer area. All room doors should be closed during a severe weather shelter alert.
West Apartment Community Members
All occupants should proceed to lower level areas of each individual building. As there is limited space available and exposure to flying glass is inevitable, you should sit on the floor with your back to the wall and cover your head with your arms and hands. If you have a jacket or coat with you, place that over your
head and face to protect you from flying debris.
East Apartment Community Members
In the event that severe weather is imminent, security will open one of the east main doors to the HAB. Residents and guests in the East Apartments should go to the HAB lower level.
Centennial Townhomes
Occupants should proceed to the Idzerda Commons Building located along College Avenue at the south end of the Centennial Townhomes complex. Restrooms, hallways, and interior rooms should be utilized whenever possible. As there is limited space available, you should sit on the floor with your back to the wall. Cover your head with your arms and hands. If you have a jacket or coat, place that over your head and face to protect yourself from flying debris.
Richarda Prep-School Living Area
Occupants should assemble in the old wing on the ground floor. If space becomes an issue, the north stairwell and lower level mechanical space will be utilized.
Academic Areas
Main Building
Faculty, staff, students and guests should proceed to the lower level in the building. Areas to utilize for shelter are: the Duplicating Center, the hallways within Physical Plant and Institutional Marketing with office doors shut, the food service hallway areas with dining room doors shut and extending into the Monastery as necessary.
Occupants should proceed to lower levels of the building EXCEPT those areas directly under the glass link. In an effort to minimize exposure to flying glass and debris, occupants are directed to remain in the old section of the building with the adjoining fire door closed. During normal operating hours the duplicating center and any lower level classrooms in the old section of the building may be utilized.
Building occupants should evacuate to the lower level of the building. Occupants should congregate in the practice room areas first and then fill lower level areas as necessary. Interior hallways, green rooms, dressing rooms, lower level restrooms, the costume shop, and the dance studio would be appropriate areas to seek shelter.
If time permits, building occupants should be evacuated to the HAB. If this cannot be accomplished, all occupants should assemble in the lower level center hallway utilizing the class room and labs that have no windows or dangerous chemical issues should damage occur. Available chemistry staff will have to evaluate possible lab use at the time of the shelter needs.
Clemens Library
Library staff have evaluated and marked shelter areas within the building. Building staff have accepted the responsibility to assemble building occupants in the designated shelter areas.
Richarda Faculty Offices
Faculty and staff should congregate in the ground level hallway with the link access and the east access door closed. All office doors should be closed to minimize exposure to flying glass and debris.
HCC: Murray Hall and Claire Lynch
Building occupants will be evacuated to the lower level of each area that they are in. Minimizing exposure to flying glass and debris is the ultimate goal and all interior areas will be utilized for shelter; locker rooms, restrooms, meeting rooms, interior hallways and the training room. AT NO TIME should building occupants be in the field house during severe weather and shelter alerts. If time permits, the overhead doors should be closed to separate the fieldhouse from the intramural and office areas.
Gorecki Dining & Conference Center
Building occupants should evacuate to the lower levels of the building. Occupants should congregate in the kitchen, stairwells, and mechanical rooms (basement level) of this building as their primary shelter areas. Secondary areas of safety would include interior hallways, offices and restrooms that are away from large glass windows and large open spaces. Time permitting, additional shelter space would be available in the basements of nearby buildings (BAC, Lottie, Margretta, Brian).

text: 2007 World Food Prize laureate revolutionized Post-Harvest technology20 Giugno 20070 Commentsin : INTERNATIONAL0 Washington, DC, 16 June 2007 – Dr. Philip E. Nelson of Purdue University was named winner of the $250,000 World Food Prize for his innovative breakthrough technologies which have revolutionized the food industry, particularly in the area of large-scale storage and transportation of fresh fruit and vegetables using bulk aseptic food processing. Dr. Nelson was announced as the 2007 Laureate by Ambassador Kenneth M. Quinn, President of the World Food Prize Foundation, at a ceremony at the U.S. State Department on June 18 hosted by Assistant Secretary for Economic, Energy and Business Affairs Daniel Sullivan. Also participating in the announcement ceremony were World Food Programme Executive Director Josette Sheeran, Acting Administrator of the U.S. Agency for International Dvelopment (USAID) Henrietta Fore, Congressman Tom Latham (R-IA) and World Food Prize Selection Committee Chairman and Nobel Peace Prize Laureate Dr. Norman Borlaug. Nutritious food In making the announcement, Amb. Quinn stated that Dr. Nelson's food science research has significantly reduced post-harvest waste and spoilage and greatly increased the availability and accessibility of nutritious food worldwide, particularly in emergency situations. "Dr. Nelson's pioneering work, which began with tomatoes and later included a variety of seasonal crops, has made it possible to produce ultra-large scale quantities of high quality food," Ambassador Quinn said. "This food can then be stored for long periods of time and transported to all corners of the world without losing nutritional value or taste." Research Dr. Nelson's research led to the discovery of methods and equipment to preserve perishable food at ambient temperatures in very large carbon steel tanks (beginning with 100 gallon tanks and increasing in capacity to 8 million gallons). By coating the tanks with epoxy resin and sterilizing the valves and filters, food products were able to be stored and removed without reintroducing contaminants. As a result, enormous quantities of pathogen-free food could be distributed to plants around the world for final processing and packaging. Later partnering with the Scholle Corporation, Dr. Nelson developed a low-cost aseptic "bag-in-box" system for preserving and shipping foods. By the 1980's, this technology had spread throughout the global food industry. Working with another company, Fran Rica Manufacturing (now part of FMC), Dr. Nelson engineered a variation of the bag sealing fitment as a membrane, which ruptures during the fill and then reseals with a sterilized foil cap. This is now the standard technology used for processing and packaging of aseptically processed foods worldwide. Developing world In the developing world, these technologies have made it affordable and convenient to transport and deliver a variety of safe food products without the need for refrigeration, averting loss due to spoilage. Citrosuco, a leading orange juice producer based in Brazil, has used the technology developed by Dr. Nelson to ship up to eight million gallons of orange juice to the United States and Europe. The technology has also been applied to bring potable water and emergency food aid to survivors of the 2004 tsunami in Southeast Asia and the victims of Hurricane Katrina in 2005, as well as to other crisis situations worldwide, and is used in school nutrition programs in developing countries. "Affordable and safe movement of food is critical in fighting world hunger and Dr. Nelson's technologies will help reach those in need ," said Sheeran. Nomination The World Food Programme was one of several organizations to support the nomination of Dr. Nelson. Dr. Nelson has been involved in the storage and packaging of food since childhood. He spent his early years working on his family's tomato farm and canning factory in Morristown, Indiana and once earned the crown of "Tomato King" at the Indiana State Fair. The 2007 World Food Prize will be formally presented to Dr. Nelson at a ceremony at the Iowa State Capitol on October 18, 2007. The ceremony will be held as part of the World Food Prize's Norman E. Borlaug International Symposium, which this year focuses on "Biofuels and Biofood: The Global Challenges of Emerging Technologies." www.wfp.org Crea/Invia pdf Share This

Often dogs are credited as "man's best friend," but I beg to differ. I offer you instead the humble roach.
The usually and immediate reaction to the word "roach" (or the actual specimen) is disgust and panic. I will fully admit that I don't love them in our garage and that they give me the creeps when they skitter across the driveway, but I DO enjoy not being waste high in detritus.
Cockroaches are nature's decomposers and are essential for returning nutrients to the soil. They take one man's trash – namely, yours – and turn it into little ecological treasures.
Additionally, roaches make tasty treats for reptiles, amphibians, fish, birds, other insects, and several mammals. Not surprisingly, humans don't love them (but have been known to eat them, though not frequently). This is not because humans don't like to eat bugs, but rather because of the particular taste of roaches which is similar to ammonia. If you ever do decide to partake, know that they have three times as much protein as chicken.
Roaches are also good pollinators. In fact, the first pollinators were beetles, not bees. They are also the most frequently used speciments in the study of insect behavior, anatomy and physiology.
So in review, if you DON'T like being waste high in debris, but you DO like growing plants and eating, you must love the roach.

Beijing Wields Big Stick Against Megaships
How China Closed Its Ports to Brazilian Miner Vale's Huge Iron-Ore Vessels
BEIJING—Brazilian miner Vale SA has spent around $2 billion on a fleet of huge ships to carry its iron ore from Brazil to China. The problem: China won't let them in.
Chinese regulators have cited safety concerns over Valemax ships, as the cargo vessels are called. But analysts and industry observers point to a different reason: opposition from a Chinese shipping-industry group dominated by a state-owned company.

United Neighbors' sixth annual Peace by Piece Summit took place May 9. This year's event offered an opportunity to engage youth in a discussion of how violence impacts them and to talk openly about how they are dealing with the influence of violence in their lives. Youth reflected on their experiences with violence, gang involvement, bullying and substance abuse.
United Neighbors' sixth annual Peace by Piece Summit took place May 9. This year's event offered an opportunity to engage youth in a discussion of how violence impacts them and to talk openly about how they are dealing with the influence of violence in their lives. Youth reflected on their experiences with violence, gang involvement, bullying and substance abuse.
Discussion was facilitated by leaders of The Foundation Movement, a Boston-based anti-violence group led by Banjineh "Op" Browne and Ernesto "Eroc" Arroyo. The program began with a video that detailed the story of Janet Connors, whose 19-year-old son Jo-el was murdered during a home invasion in 2001. She now devotes her life to teaching "restorative justice," a philosophy that encourages forgiveness when wrongdoers accept accountability. It was a wonderful day of peace and harmony for our most vulnerable youth. I left the summit basking in the good feelings of peaceful endeavors, conversations and attitudes. I heard participants and staff say that the summit was transformative, the day almost spiritual and the results are bound to contribute to the anti-violence work United Neighbors and our partners do in Fall River.
But alas, the euphoria diminishes quickly. A perusal of The Herald News last Saturday morning reminded me that one yearly Peace Summit does not stop violence and crime within the city. All the "kumbaya" feelings from Peace by Piece fly right out the window when reality is delivered to your door daily. The paper heralded three stories on the day after the summit – "woman robbed at gunpoint," "man faces child rape charges," "burglary suspect flees." I turned to my husband Michael and said, "Why do I go through all the planning, expense, aggravation and details if the message of peace doesn't last more than a day or two? Why do we keep having Peace by Piece summits if they do not bring forth immediate changes in our community?" I moaned and groaned to Michael for a few minutes questioning why we put all our efforts into the Peace by Piece Summit. Michael looked at me and said one word, "Bamboo."
"Bamboo?" I asked?
"Bamboo." He said.
"Bamboo," I queried again. "You mean that very expensive bamboo that you planted five years ago which never grew more than an inch?"
Michael took my hand and took me out to the end of the property and I was shocked to see a row of bamboo standing seven feet tall. I was astounded! I asked, "How was it possible that for four years the bamboo was an inch tall and this year it towers over me?"
Michael explained, "During the first year, the tiny plant is watered and fertilized and nothing happens. It is watered and fertilized for another whole year and another and another and still nothing happens. Then in the fifth year it shoots up to the sky. In six weeks the bamboo grows 90 feet. So how long does it take for the bamboo to grow so high?"
"Six weeks." I said
Michael answered, "That's incorrect. If I had stopped watering the plant at any point during those five years the bamboo would have died."
"So," I asked, "what was going on during all those years?"
He replied, "Underneath the ground, an extensive network of roots was developing to support the bamboo's sudden growth. Without the first four years of root development the bamboo would never be able to attain its lofty height."
So what have I learned? Growth takes patience and perseverance. Every drop of water makes a difference, every step you take makes an impact. Every Peace Summit we sponsor lays down roots. You may not see the change right away, but growth is happening. With commitment and drive to attain your goals and the support of community collaboration we can break through and reach great heights!

How? How is Cyclops any more a villain than say anyone in the Illuminati who unlike Cyclops are actually 100% in control of themselves when they take it upon themselves to do the things that they do? This isn't a situation like Hal Jordan where you have to wait for 10 years for another writer to come along and explain that he was possessed by an alien parasite. We already know that Scott Summers was possessed by an all powerful cosmic entity.
Is he a villain because he is actively attempting to prevent the ongoing persecution of mutants but he is doing so without the blessing of the Avengers or some of the more traditional X-Men? Don't forget, Cyclops is still protecting both mutants and humans.
So how exactly is Scott Summers a villain now?
by Punchy » Thu Apr 18, 2013 11:14 amYeesh, you know a crossover isn't doing so well when most of the discussion is people arguing about the previous crossover.
Shouldn't our ethical debate now be over whether Wolverine was right to kill Pym or not?
by guitarsmashley » Thu Apr 18, 2013 11:17 am
No since everyone but you seems to realize how weightless this series is.
by Punchy » Thu Apr 18, 2013 11:25 am
Whilst at the same time bitching about the impact AvX had on things.
by guitarsmashley » Thu Apr 18, 2013 11:30 am
Yes that's literally the same point you just made. People care more about AvX good or bad than they do this. It's worth talking more about the last crossover than the current one.
by SuperginraiX » Thu Apr 18, 2013 11:42 am
If it's something Wolverine did, then it was the wrong thing to do but everyone will love him for it anyway.

Damn you! Damn Marvel logic!
by alaska1125 » Thu Apr 18, 2013 11:56 am
Because he's basically become Magneto. Bonus points for being a douche since '85-'86.
by alaska1125 » Thu Apr 18, 2013 12:01 pm
Yep. I've got a lot of love for Marvel currently, but this "event" could have been contained in about four issues. And please refer to the "Should price matter?" thread...well written and spot on.
by SuperginraiX » Thu Apr 18, 2013 12:06 pm
I can't think of any Marvel event that really NEEDED to be 7-10 issues long. By that point, I just stop caring. Four issues seems to cut free all the crap padding and get straight to the good stuff. This is how we get rid of four issues of the Avengers hanging out in the Savage Land or however many issues the heroes spent in Fury's secret base talking about how screwed they were.
by S.F. Jude Terror » Thu Apr 18, 2013 1:05 pm
He doesn't, but Marvel's writers are hoping that if they make Wolverine enough of a Mary Sue he will come to life like in that A-ha video and they can have sex with him.
by Draco x » Thu Apr 18, 2013 2:12 pm
Shang Chi and Iron Fist would be upset if they heard this.
by Draco x » Thu Apr 18, 2013 2:23 pm
I agree here as I think Marvel is hellbent into making Cyclops into a younger Magneto which has felt very forced. The only thing Cyclops is guilty of being for the most part is being an asshole which was has been established for years.
by Grayson » Thu Apr 18, 2013 2:29 pm
Cyclops is still pretty far from being Magneto. Like I said, Cyclops is still working to protect both mutants and humans. I haven't seen any issues featuring Cyclops going to an anti-mutant protest, taking hostages, and holding them for ransom until his demands are met. To my knowledge, Cyclops hasn't gathered a collection of stolen nuclear missiles and pointed them at various countries around the world. In fact, aside from being a fugitive for a crime he didn't actually commit, I can't think of a single thing that Cyclops is currently doing that would make him Magneto or a villain in general.
by Amoebas » Thu Apr 18, 2013 3:25 pmHank Pym has now apparently been murdered in July 1967.
So he didn't accidently create Ultron.
And so Ultron never created the Vision.
Who never married the Scarlet Witch.
Who never had kids that were taken from her.
So she never went crazy.
And therefore Bendis never had a career in comics.
Yeah. I can live with that.

Razer peripherals
There is currently no official driver for the Razer gaming mice in Linux. However, Michael Buesch has created a tool called razercfg to configure Razer mice under Linux.
razercfg lists the following mice models as stable:
- Razer DeathAdder Classic
- Razer DeathAdder 3500 DPI
- Razer DeathAdder Black Edition
- Razer Krait
- Razer Naga
and the following as stable but missing minor features:
- Razer Lachesis
- Razer Copperhead
- Razer Boomslang CE
Download and install razercfgAUR or razercfg-gitAUR for bleeding edge git releases from the AUR.
After installing with pacman add the
razerd daemon
# systemctl enable razerd.service
to start up at launch with.
You also need to edit your
/etc/X11/xorg.conf file to disable the current mouse settings. I just commented them out then set some defaults as suggested by the author:
Section "InputDevice" Identifier "Mouse" Driver "mouse" Option "Device" "/dev/input/mice" EndSection
It is important to only have
Mouse and not
Mouse# listed in
For Python 3 users
If you have python 3 set as your default version then you will have to make a simple change to the source code of the two utilities. You can check by typing the following command
$ python -V
If it returns python 2.X then you can skip this section.
If it returns python 3.X then change the first line of both files
/usr/bin/razercfg and
/usr/bin/qrazercfg to the following:
#!/usr/bin/env python2
Final touches
Retart the computer then enter:
# udevadm control --reload-rules
To start the daemon, type:
# systemctl start razerd.service
If you did everything correctly, you shouldn't get errors.
Using the Razer Configuration Tool
There are two commands you can use, one for the command line tool
razercfg or the Qt-based GUI tool
From the tool you can use the 5 profiles, change the DPI, change mouse frequency, enable and disable the scroll and logo lights and configure the buttons.
Everytime I restart, my Razer Lachesis is brought back to 500 DPI. Not that cruicial as I just open the Razer Configuration Tool and set it to 4000 DPI and all is good. I've e-mailed him on this issue and am waiting on a reply.

Sleep Like a Baby Tonight
A bed isn't just a mattress and box springs—it's a good night's rest before a big interview, a place for Sunday morning snuggling, and an impromptu trampoline for early-rising little ones. Italian bedding pioneer Flou keeps all these things in mind when designing its luxurious, innovative sleep systems. From bedbases to mattresses and even duvets, Flou has been turning cutting-edge technology into snooze button-quality sleep for over 30 years.
Passionate about the way your home looks? Flou is too. That's why they work with the best Italian designers to create unique bed systems with never-ending versatility—like the Duetto, with a self-rising trundle that can be attached to the bed or used on its own, and the Nathalie, which features an adjustable pillowy headboard. (Not only is it comfy, but it's also a tidy cover for your wrinkly sleeper pillows!) Intuitive storage bases and wardrobes help keep your sleep sanctuary clean and calm, and with Flou's removable fabric and leather covers, you can transform your bed in the time it takes to change sheets—meaning that your bedroom can stay stylish and comfortable for years to come.

Because Hurricane Sandy hit at the very end of October, it dashed the hopes of many children to go trick-or-treating on Halloween.
As Oceanside picks itself back up and rebuilds, resident John Madden wanted to give the children the holiday they missed.
He organized a trunk-or-treat event (where children walk around to cars instead of houses and collect candy) in the parking lot at Tower's Funeral Home in Oceanside, located at 2681 Long Beach road, from 11 a.m. to 1 p.m. on Saturday, Nov. 17.
Children will be able to go around to all who participate and trick-or-treat at their cars. Then, at 1 p.m., they will set out into the unaffected areas of the neighborhood.
Residents who want to give candy to the kids should hang a Halloween decoration on their door to signify that they are participating.
"Even if people don't have kids, they can come over and decorate their cars and give candy to kids," said Madden.

me: "Do you think anything is lost by the way games say "hurry!" and then let you dally all you want?"I agree. If an NPC urges me to hurry, that urgency should be reflected in the events thereafter.
Ysharros: "I most certainly do. It sets expectations (at least in me) that then aren't fulfilled. Yet almost every game I know does this."

fake emergencies
5 comments:
How do you prevent players from becoming trapped? So you find out the palace is under attack and you need to get there and save the queen. But you get there and you're not up to the task of saving the queen yet.ReplyDelete
So is that just Game Over and reload an earlier save? You can't back away and get stronger if you stick to the urgent time issue?
I agree with you in spirit but in practice I'm not sure I'd like the alternative... though smarter people than me could probably find a way to maintain the urgency and still offer the player an 'out' if they weren't ready for the task at hand.
I think Dragon Age helped this a bit with the way the game presents "emergencies." I noticed that when something REALLY needed to be done right then, it seemed to take a dialogue tree that would insert responses from the NPC that would reinforce that. No clock ever showed up and I never ran out of time, but for instance:ReplyDelete
I had a dialogue where I had to "hurry and save someone from certain doom" but I kept talking to the NPC trying to get information. After the initial dialogue, all her responses were filled with "Alright, I'll tell you, but don't you think you should get going?" Or "Is that really more important to know than saving so-and-so right now?"
That kind of reinforcement is a nice addition in that aspect, but again ... if you want to dilly dally around, you can without consequence.
I think if side-quests that had time limits came up, but nothing for the main story line, that would be ok. I agree with Pete though. You can't lock someone out of the main story line because they don't feel like rushing it. Some people like to play cautiously and conservatively.
It has to be taken into account before quests and gameplay are already put into place. Like all elements of game design, it's something that has to be considered in conjunction with everything else, rather than applied separately.ReplyDelete
So, in your example, you don't present the player with the opportunity to enter the palace and save the queen without having ensured the player has already experienced enough and is prepared. You're right that timing is the key.
There are many possible solutions. You might alert the player once he reaches a particular level or completes a particular quests (ala the Bounty Board missions in Borderlands). Or you might design the environment so that the player can't reach the point of urgency without first encountering other combat scenarios and NPCs. The more open the game, the harder it is to control. But in any case, the emergency "countdown" doesn't begin until triggered by a player action signaling that he/she is ready.
The challenge of game design in general is that the many elements all affect each other. Emergency quests aren't really exceptional that way.
"You can't lock someone out of the main story line because they don't feel like rushing it. Some people like to play cautiously and conservatively."ReplyDelete
I know what you mean. I'm the sort of player who likes to tackle sidequests before the main storyline. I played Oblivion for months without progressing through the main questline.
Again, the problem is timing... it's when players are offered those urgent quests. Games are usually designed so that the NPC or scenario in which one leg of the main plotline ends is where the next leg begins. This means the player is always trapped in a state of urgency. There's always some emergency beckoning.
Instead, games should allow players to explore and fulfill side missions BEFORE the next leg of the plot begins.
The tricky part is enabling players who enjoy blasting through the main plotline to do so without them needing to level up or otherwise be empowered by side missions.
Diablo 2 enables players to rush through. Those players have a more difficult time, but they become stronger even as they fail. A level 8 player might not survive a dungeon full of level 10 enemies, but he'll kill enough to gain a level or two by the time he has to try again.
That sort of system isn't applicable to every game, but it's a good model in general. And death needn't be involved. For example, you might storm the palace and fail, then be mistaken for dead and thrown in the moat (where you recover). Or you could be kicked out of a place, incapacitated, etc.
As for the emergency of the situation, in some cases that urgency could be lessened by the player even if he fails. For example, merely by entering the palace and slaying guards, the player might distract the queen's assailants enough to prolong the amount of time the player has to reach her.
Now that y'all have made me think about it more deeply, I can see that there's probably not a simple solution that can be applied to all games. But I think fake emergencies can generally be avoided by a combination of the strategies I've mentioned above and others.
As I said before, it's mainly a matter of considering this while designing everything else. It can't be an afterthought.
I certainly wouldn't advocate doing the hurry-up/oops you failed dance *all* the time, but now and then it would help keep me on my toes and reinforce the feeling that I'm in a story/world that flows, rather than one that waits solely for my input.ReplyDelete
Actually, thinking about it after the comments above, I'd probably want to see it used sparingly, but I certainly would want to see emergency-actions used. Sometimes you just have to drop everything and save the world.
Then again, it doesn't *have* to be a pass/fail thing. You could have to deliver a message before a certain time, or other such non skill-critical tasks. Just something, however minor, that reminds you other stuff is going on around you.

COLUMBUS, OH – The Columbus Crew Reserves (2-4-1, 7 points) came from behind to defeat the Dayton Dutch Lions 3-1 on Wednesday night at Crew Stadium. Second-half goals by Ben Speas, Tyson Wahl, and Tony Tchani were enough for the Black & Gold to erase a 1-0 halftime deficit.
The Crew nearly took the lead twice in the first half when Ryan Finley and Ben Speas forced Dayton's Matt Williams into two fine saves. It was the Dutch Lions however who struck first when a quick counter-attack led to Tjeerd Westdijk tapping home a cross from Gibson Bardsley in the 42nd minute.
Dayton came close to doubling its advantage early in the second half. Westdijk again found himself in the area and tried an overhead volley after his initial attempt was blocked. Black & Gold goalkeeper Matt Lampson turned the shot around the post to keep his side just one goal down.
Lampson's save was a crucial one because in the 68th minute substitute Aaron Schoenfeld was fouled in the Dayton box which led to a Crew penalty. Ben Speas converted the penalty to level the score at one. Following Speas' penalty, Dayton's Head Coach Patrick Bal was sent off for excessively arguing the penalty decision.
Less than 10 minutes later, Speas drew a foul in the attacking third and Tyson Wahl curled a superb free-kick from 25 yards away to give the Crew a 2-1 lead.
As Dayton pushed forward it gave the Crew a chance to attack on the counter. In the 81st minute a punt from Lampson took a fortuitous bounce and left Tony Tchani one-on-one with the goalkeeper. Tchani coolly slotted the ball into the lower corner to double the Crew's advantage. It was a lead that the Black & Gold would not relinquish.
The Crew Reserves next travel to face the Chicago Fire Reserves (1-4-0, 5 points) at the Toyota Park Practice Field on Wednesday, July 17.

Jennifer Garner & Seraphina Affleck: Luxxe Ladies
Jennifer Garner takes her 17-month-old daughter Seraphina to Caffe Luxxe to meet a friend on Thursday (June 10) in Santa Monica, Calif.
The 38-year-old actress, wearing a pair of brown TOMS slip on shoes and a striped tank top, dropped off her daughter Violet just before hitting the cafe.
Recently there have been rumors that an Alias reboot is in the very early stages but there is no word on whether Jen will reprise her role as Sydney Bristow.
Recently, Zap2it caught up with Alias star Michael Vartan and asked if he'd be willing to guest star in the reboot.
"I would say, 'Go with God' and do something else," Michael said. "There's only one Jack Bristow and Sydney Bristow."
15+ pictures inside of Jennifer Garner enjoying the day with her daughter Seraphina…

CAMBRIDGE, Mass. – MIT entered today's doubleheader against Babson College trailing the Beavers by just one game for the sixth and final spot in the New England Women's and Men's Athletic Conference (NEWMAC) tournament but dropped a pair of games to the host Beavers to officially fall out of contention for a postseason berth on Friday afternoon. Tech fell 5-2 in game one before losing the nightcap, 10-6 to move to 9-20 overall and 5-9 in league play. Meanwhile, Babson clinched its spot in next week's NEWMAC tournament, improving its ledger to 21-16 and 8-6 in conference.
Babson broke through first in the second inning of game one, which early on featured a pitchers' duel between Babson first-year reliever Meghan Hayes (Robbinsville, Mass.) and MIT rookie starter Ellie Fodor (Trenton, Mich.). After sophomore Kelly King (Kennebunk, Maine) reached on a third-strike wild pitch and junior Ashleigh Phelps (West Chester, Pa.) drew a walk, sophomore Christa Shorette (Southington, Conn.) laced a two-out single to left to plate King with the game's first run.
The Beavers made it 2-0 in the bottom of the third, beginning with back-to-back one-out walks to senior captain Jess Pashos (Winchester, Mass.) and junior captain Catie Funk (Scarborough, Maine). Senior captain Nicole Latini (East Bridgewater, Mass.) then reached on an infield single to load the bases, and sophomore Sam Pilkington (Westborough, Mass.) followed with a sacrifice fly to center to make it a 2-0 game.
Babson got another run in the fifth, as junior Jackie Enos (Taunton, Mass.) led off with a double to left-center and then came around to score on an error on Pashos' sacrifice bunt attempt. The Beavers then put the game out of reach with two in the bottom half of the sixth, thanks to a two-out, two-run double to left-center by Enos that scored Shorette and junior pinch-runner Breezy DiPietro (Essex, Mass.) for a 5-0 cushion.
That was more than enough support for Hayes, who came on in relief of junior Megan Brain (Pompton Plains, N.J.) to start the second after Brain was hit by a comebacker in the top of the first. Hayes (5-4) went the final six frames, allowing one run on three hits, walking three and striking out five. Brain added a scoreless frame, pitching around a pair of hits and striking out two before leaving after one.
Fodor (5-8) pitched well before tiring late in the game for MIT, finishing with four earned runs allowed on five hits, walking four and fanning six in 5 2/3 innings. Senior captain Katie Harrington (Lexington, Ky.) led the Engineers' offense with two hits, including a single in the top of the seventh that drove in junior Anna Christensen (Vernon Hills, Ill.) with the team's lone run.
It was MIT who struck first in game two, as senior captain Nydia Ruleman (Germantown, Tenn.) led off the game with a hit-by-pitch, moved to second on a sacrifice bunt, advanced to third on a groundout, and scored when freshman Karly McLaughlin (Eswardsville, Ill.) reached on a two-out error.
The Beavers responded with a big inning in the bottom of the second, scoring four times to move in front, 4-1. King drove in the first two when she blasted her fifth home run of the season to dead center, plating Pilkington and giving the hosts a 2-1 edge. Phelps then lined a double off the wall in left and eventually scored on a sacrifice fly to right by Pashos, and a wild pitch later in the inning enabled Shorette to scamper home from third to cap the four-run outburst.
MIT fought back with two runs in the top of the third, beginning when Christensen reached on an error to start the frame. A wild pitch and a hit-batsman then put runners on first and third for McLaughlin, who drilled a sinking liner to right to score Christensen. Babson did come up with a big out on the play, however, as right fielder Shorette's throw to first just beat McLaughlin for the inning's first out. That would prove critical later in the frame, as Fodor followed with an RBI-single to center to cut the Engineers' deficit to 4-3. Sophomore Tess Rubega (Norwich, Conn.) then came on in relief of classmate Christina Miquel (Emerson, N.J.) and retired the final two batters to prevent further damage.
Babson pulled away with six runs over the next two innings, resulting in a 10-3 advantage. King knocked in her third run of the game with a double to center in the third, while Latini added a three-run homer to right - her fourth of the season - to go with a two-run double by Shorette in the five-run fourth.
MIT would get three back in the sixth, highlighted by an RBI-double to left by senior captain Jessica Iacobucci (Phoenixville, Pa.) and a two-run triple to right by Christensen, but Rubega got the final two hitters of the inning and then pitched a scoreless seventh to finish off the 10-6 win. The seventh featured a fantastic play at third by senior Kayla Davis (Gardner, Mass.), who made a lunging backhand snare of a line drive down the line and then doubled-up the runner at first for a game-ending doubleplay.
Miquel went the first 2 1/3 innings in the circle for Babson, allowing three runs - one earned - on one hit, walking one and striking out two. Rubega (9-4) came on and earned the win in relief, giving up three runs on four hits, walking three and fanning a pair in 4 2/3 innings of work. King finished the nightcap 2-for-2 with a double, a homer, and three RBIs, Phelps added three hits - including two doubles - in four trips, and Pashos went 2-for-3 with a double and an RBI. Funk also added a pair of doubles in the win, giving her 52 in her career to move past Babson softball legend Colleen Kelly '04 into first place on the program's all-time list.
Iacobucci (3-10) started and took the loss in game two for MIT, allowing four runs in 1 1/3 innings. McLaughlin pitched 2 2/3 innings and gave up six runs before Fodor came on and tossed 2 1/3 scoreless frames. One of five Engineers with one hit apiece, Christensen finished with 2 RBIs and a run scored.
MIT will close out its conference slate tomorrow afternoon with a home doubleheader against WPI beginning at 12:00 p.m. The games will be a part of the 35th anniversary celebration of MIT softball and will feature a ceremony in between games to recognize the alumnae in attendance.

NASHVILLE, Tenn. - The Lipscomb Bisons tennis team has been tested this season by some top competition.
Each week they have seen improvement though that hasn't always been measured simply by wins and losses. The Bisons split matches last weekend, losing 4-0 at Vanderbilt and beating North Alabama, a Division II team 7-0.
Junior David Salazar, playing in the No. 1 spot for the Bisons, won his match with North Alabama 6-3, 6-3. He teamed with Oliver Strecker to also win a doubles match by a score of 8-3.
"We have been playing harder schools, but we been improving in every aspect," Salazar said. "We are focusing on continuing to progress and getting ready for Atlantic Sun Conference matches.
"We have a more team-oriented mindset. No one is thinking for himself. It is all about the team. We are training not just to get better but to get the person next to us better. That is very important."
Salazar credits the team approach to the seniors on the team the year he came to Lipscomb as a freshman - Joe McArdle, Mario Hernandez and James Murrell.
"We do everything together," Salazar said. "We practice together. We work in the weight room together. We eat together. Just being together helps us a lot to be a better team."
Even though the players have formed a close-knit team each one brings a different skill set to the court.
"Every guy on the team knows what he is good at doing," Salazar said. "We can't just change the way we play overnight. We just have to practice at what we are best at doing.
"I am best from the back. I am really fast. I try to get to every ball. I try not to miss. I don't want to waste my opportunities."
This weekend the Bisons, 2-3, travel to Murray State at 10 a.m. Friday in Murray, Ky. They return to the Lipscomb campus Saturday at 1 p.m. to face Texas-San Antonio at the Huston-Marsh-Griffith Tennis Center.
"We never go into a match thinking we are going to beat the other team," Salazar said. "We always expect every match to be tough.
"Every point counts. Every match counts. That is the mentality we have to have in each match."
Salazar was first introduced to the game of tennis at the age of 4 by his father, Agustin, who played at Texas-Pan American and also was a member of Mexico's Davis Cup team.
"I hated it," Salazar said. "I quit the first day.
"My Dad was really strict. He kept on telling me not to miss the ball. I worked with him that one day and decided I didn't like tennis."
But one of his three brothers, Jorge, prompted Salazar to become more interested in the game and at the age of 16 he became a serious tournament player.
"My brother was No. 1 in Texas when he was 10," Salazar said. "He was traveling all over. I decided I wanted a taste of that.
"I started traveling all around Texas, South America and Central America playing. I started home schooling for high school. I also played soccer and basketball, but what I really like about tennis is that it is an individual game. There is no one to blame but yourself if something goes wrong."

Ford cuts summer break, will produce 40,000 more cars in North America
The rebound of the American auto industry continues with the announcement May 8 that Ford Motor Company will cut its summer furlough by one week to allow for expanded production of cars. That follows a similar move by Chrysler Group LLC.
Ford plans to produce nearly 40,000 additional vehicles this summer by idling its six assembly plants for just one week. Overall, the company will cut furloughs at all 13 North American plants to just one week.
"We are working most of our North America plants at maximum capacity and we are adding production shifts in three of our assembly plants this month alone," said Jim Tetreault, vice president of North America Manufacturing. "Requiring more capacity from our plants is a good problem to have and having the flexibility to add a week of production in our plants goes a long way toward solving it."
The Ford assembly plants taking just one week of summer shutdown in 2012 include Chicago Assembly, Dearborn Truck, Kentucky Truck, Louisville Assembly, Michigan Assembly and Kansas City Assembly.
The Detroit News reported that Chrysler Group LLC cancelled its summer furlough at its Detroit's Jefferson North plant, the Toledo Supplier Park, the Belvidere Assembly Plant in Illinois and Chrysler's plant in Toluca, Mexico.
