Hey guys. It's been a really long time since I've frequented this support website and I do miss it and the people that helped to make it great. Unfortunately my stupidity and work got in the way of me and Icy Phoenix so I disappeared basically. I have more free time on my hands and will try my best to be around and be more active here once again.
It's great to see so many of the old faces...yeah you know who I'm talking about...Luca, TheSteffen, Limun, DWho, gearhead, spydie, etc.
I haven't looked to see if a new release has happened yet, but I'm going to continue to look around and see what's going on since I haven't been here in a while.

A MAN has died and several homes destroyed in a massive bushfire burning in eastern Victoria.
The man's body was found in a burnt-out car in the Seaton area, where at least one home and as many as five have been destroyed.
The fire has burnt through an area of around 48,000 hectares and will continue to burn and threaten communities for weeks to come, Fire Services Commissioner Craig Lapsley said.
At least four holiday shacks within national park boundaries were also destroyed, Mr Lapsley said.
The fire began in the Baw Baw National Park on Thursday and tripled in size overnight, forcing the early morning evacuation of homes in Seaton, Licola and Heyfield.
Mr Lapsley said the rapid expansion had taken crews by surprise.
"The fire was aggressive, very intense and fast moving through the night hours," he told reporters.
"It's been burning like a grassfire in forest conditions."
Peetika Hobson, who has lived in Seaton for 30 years, said her house had been lost.
"As we were driving back to Heyfield hoping to see if the house was still there, we got a text message from our son that he heard our house had burned down," she told Network Ten.
"It becomes quite sad thinking about what you've missed.
"You'll never go home again to the house where your family grew up."
The fire threatened homes in Seaton, Dawson, Glenmaggie and Heyfield on Friday.
Incident controller Bill Johnstone said the fire could also affect the Macalister River valley and Licola, which has been cut off.
He said the crews were working in a deteriorating environment.
"Given the conditions it's probably as bad as it can get," he told reporters at Heyfield.
Mr Johnstone said between four and five homes in the Seaton area are believed to have been lost.
Mr Lapsley said the fire's size and remote location meant it would be a threat for weeks to come.
"One of the problems is that once it buries itself in the deep-seated bush area, the next northerly day it'll then come out near the communities of Heyfield again and Maffra," he said.
"We're now planning for a two-week campaign fire."
Mr Lapsley said the fire would take significant resources to contain.
"Once we move into the wilderness country we're moving into some very remote, and in particular, deep-seated bush environments, which are difficult for anyone to get into, so we can't put ground crews in," he said.
"It's not a single firefront. It's a number of firefronts and it actually sprays, if that's the right word, embers across hilltops which sees the spread of fire from spot fires."
Mr Lapsley said it was likely that livestock, fencing and farm equipment had been destroyed.
Prime Minister Julia Gillard said she felt for those caught up in the fires.
"I want to say to anyone in that position that this summer the Australian people are thinking of you and will be there to support you," she told Fairfax radio.

Mary Kay Cared
By: Legacy Staff
7 years ago
Ten years after Mary Kay Ash's death, the company she founded continues to thrive and grow. Mary Kay, Inc., with its direct-sales approach to cosmetics, could be said to be so successful because of demand – women have always wanted beauty products (men, too, these days, and the company has expanded to meet that demand). But there's more to it than that.
Mary Kay Ash approached business with an unusually high respect for her salespeople, from the top-earning pink Cadillac drivers to the newest and greenest. She was a motivator, gaining the devotion of her employees by showing them she cared about them. Here are some words of wisdom from Mary Kay about working for what you want, and about how to treat others:
Everyone has an invisible sign hanging from their neck saying, 'Make me feel important.' Never forget this message when working with people.
If you think you can, you can. And if you think you can't, you're right.
No matter how busy you are, you must take time to make the other person feel important.
People are definitely a company's greatest asset. It doesn't make any difference whether the product is cars or cosmetics. A company is only as good as the people it keeps.
We must have a theme, a goal, a purpose in our lives. If you don't know where you're aiming, you don't have a goal. My goal is to live my life in such a way that when I die, someone can say, she cared.
Don't limit yourself. Many people limit themselves to what they think they can do. You can go as far as your mind lets you. What you believe, remember, you can achieve.
Ash's philosophy brought her great rewards, and not just money. In addition to achieving financial success, Mary Kay, Inc. has been named one of America's 100 best companies to work for, and one of the top 10 companies for women. Most anyone driving a pink Cadillac would be happy to attest to that.

Draxler and Huntelaar were the heroes for the home side as they battled to a narrow victory over Klopp's men, who could not recover from a devastating first-half show
Goals in the opening 45 minutes from Julian Draxler and Klaas-Jan Huntelaar set the Champions League hopefuls on the path to victory, and although Robert Lewandowski pulled one back for the visitors Schalke did not falter and stayed strong to claim all three points.
Dortmund enjoyed the greater possession at the start of Saturday's derby clash, but Jurgen Klopp's men struggled to make the most of the ball and were ineffective against a resolute backline. Schalke, meanwhile, sat back and waited for the chance to counter on the break; and they were soon rewarded as the home team surged into the lead.
With just 12 minutes on the clock, Marco Hoger's well-placed pass opened up the game for Atsuto Uchida on the right flank. The Japanese full-back was impeccable in controlling the ball, and his low cross found Julian Draxler in the box, who finished expertly on the half-volley to give Schalke the advantage. A rattled Dortmund side almost found themselves two down immediately afterwards, and were grateful to Roman Weidenfeller who came up with a big save to deny Huntelaar from point-blank range.
There were chances for both teams to add to the scoresheet, in what was a frenetic, fiercely contested first half. Lukasz Piszczek released Jakub Blaszczykowski behind the defence, but the Polish forward dragged his effort just wide of the post to squander the opportunity for the equaliser. At the other end, Dortmund's attacking starlet Mario Gotze suddenly found himself thrust into the role of defensive saviour, clearing off the line to stop Joel Matip's header from doubling Schalke's lead.
It was a momentary reprieve, however, as BVB were once more punished for some slack marking in their own area. Uchida was once more the architect on the right and with Dortmund's centre-backs nowhere to be found, Huntelaar gleefully took advantage of the space with a towering header that doubled the hosts' lead.
Robert Lewandowski then had the misfortune of seeing his goal ruled out for offside, but the visitors were left reeling at the end of a first half where their rivals made the most of their chances.
Jefferson Farfan had enjoyed an impressive opening 45 minutes, and the Peru international had a great chance to add a third and end the game as a contest on receiving the ball unmarked at the far post. The forward did not connect well with the shot, however, and Weidenfeller breathed a sigh of relief as the effort went straight at the keeper for a comfortable save.
Sven Bender, meanwhile, thought for a moment that he had reduced the deficit after bundling a scrappy ball into the net; but for the second time in the match the goal was ruled out for BVB, this time for a push in the build-up.
With just over 30 minutes to play, Dortmund were thrown a lifeline. Playing once again on the back of the Schalke defensive line, Lewandowski this time judged his run to perfection and the offside flag stayed down as he received Bender's pass. One-on-one, the Polish star kept his cool to slide the ball past Timo Hildebrand and bring his side back into the match.
The goal was the cue for BVB to throw everything into attack, as they desperately sought something from the encounter.
The home side, however, stayed strong at the back, and continued to pose a threat on the counter. It took another fine save from Weidenfeller to stop Teemu Pukki adding a third as Dortmund left more and more men upfield.
Farfan was then left with his head in his hands, blazing over from close range after being handed a rebound that just had to be the game's deciding strike.
Thankfully for Schalke that miss did not come back to haunt them and they move into fourth spot, while Dortmund remain in second place.

How to select a VFD – These guidelines dispel the confusion about matching variable frequency drives (VFDs) and motors to fans and pumps that are typically encountered in commercial building applications. While the motivation to increase energy efficiency could be financial (reduced energy costs) or ethical (reduced greenhouse gas emissions associated with power production), it is taken for granted that VFDs are an easy way to improve energy efficiency in a motor application. And with these noble intentions in mind, the engineer will specify a VFD for his client. Often, that isn't the end of the story for the engineer.
A more systematic approach to energy efficiency
Siemens suggests that efforts to improve efficiency need to examine complete drive systems from one end to the other. Improving just the motor may not yield the largest improvements. Video: Siemens' Michael Young offers an overview of the systematic approach.
Choosing between grounded and ungrounded electrical system designs
Understanding both grounded and ungrounded electrical systems enables engineers to apply the appropriate grounding topology for the electrical system requirements.
Transformer efficiency: Minimizing transformer losses – Matching a transformer to its anticipated load is a critical aspect of reducing energy consumption.
Tuning thermal PID loops – When dealing with critical temperature applications, PID controllers are a common regulatory approach, but tuning these often requires a different strategy than other types of loops. Auto-tuning features can help if you understand them.
System Integrator Giants of 2013 – The 100 firms on the System Integrator Giants list represent the largest system integrators of 2013, among the companies listed in the Control Engineering Automation Integrator Guide. In the survey, system integrator revenue is defined as automation integration services minus the cost of all off-the-shelf products: hardware, software, and equipment. The system integrators who responded to this survey provided information about engineering specialties, industries served, products integrated, associations/affiliations, and challenges from their industry.
How to size servo motors: Advanced inertia calculations
Inside Machines: To properly select the appropriate servo motor for a motion control application, find the inertia of the load being rotated. Applications where the center of rotation is on a different axis than the center of mass can lead to some challenging inertial calculations.
You've seen the equations, but have you thought about how those elements work together? Part 1: The basic concepts and proportional control.
The HMI of the future will look very familiar
HMI/SCADA applications enable companies to benefit from commercial off-the-shelf technologies adapted for industrial automation to lower costs and improve operations.
These technologies continue to evolve, making differences harder to distinguish. Here are some thoughts on what does what, and how to choose between a PLC and a PAC for your next application.
Taking the mystery out of thermowell selection
It stands between your process and the sensor element, so understanding thermowell characteristics is key to reliable measurements. Second in the temperature series.
Inside Machines: PC versus PLC: Comparing control options
To choose between a PLC or PC, analyze and compare characteristics that could differentiate the two technologies, such as operation, robustness, serviceability, hardware integration, security, safety, programming, and cost. Graphics illustrate some key considerations.

Alcohol and/or Drug Abuse Counselors. The Certificate
of Achievement is designed to prepare students for
entry level alcohol and drug counselor employment.
The associate degree provides academic preparation
for baccalaureate study in psychology, social work and
related disciplines.
This program is both vocational and academic. It trains
students in the practice dimensions of an alcohol and drug
counselor while providing a theoretical foundation in
the behavioral sciences and human service
Upon completion of the certificate of achievement
or associate degree, students may be eligible for
entry level employment as alcohol and/or drug
abuse counselors. However the state of California
requires additional credentialing in order to maintain
employment in this field. Persons hired as alcohol/
drug counselors have five years to become fully
certified and most employers will want counselors
to be certified within a year of being hired. California
does not license alcohol and drug abuse counselors
at this time. Certification is accomplished through
private credentialing organizations that are
nationally approved and approved by the State
of California. The Alcohol and Other Drug Studies
Program relates to two certifying organizations: The
California Association of
Alcohol/Drug Educators(CAADE)
and the
California Consortium of Addiction Programs and Professional (CCAPP)
offers certification as a Certified Addiction Treatment
Counselor (CATC) and CCAPP offers certification
as a Certified Alcohol and Drug Abuse Counselor
(CADC). Both organizations offer several levels of
certification depending on experience and academic
achievement. Additionally, the AODS Program is CAADE accredited. Students who
complete the certificate of achievement in AODS
will have met the educational requirements of all
certifying organizations.

Duchene's disputed goal helps Avs snap 9-game streak to Nashville with 6-5 win over PredatorsNHL.com @NHLdotcom
DENVER - Paul Stastny and Jamie McGinn scored goals 13 seconds apart and the Colorado Avalanche snapped a nine-game losing streak to Nashville with a 6-5 win over the Predators in a Monday matinee.
The Predators pulled their goalie and Shea Weber scored with 1:18 left to make it a one-goal game, the only score of the final period.
Matt Duchene had a goal and two assists in helping the Avalanche to a rare win over the Predators, who had outscored Colorado 34-14 while sweeping the season series each of the past two years.
The Predators had pulled to 4-3 on Colin Wilson's goal before the double-whammy by Stastny and McGinn restored Colorado's cushion and forced Nashville coach Barry Trotz to summon Pekka Rinne, who is 6-1-1 in his past eight starts, to the net with 6 minutes left in the second period.

Dr. Robert L. Bradley, Jr., president of the non-profit Institute for Energy Research, will speak at Lindenwood University at 3 p.m. on Thursday, October 4, in the Leadership Room (4th floor) in the Spellmann Center on the Lindenwood campus.
Bradley's speech, titled "Enron and the Mirage of Sustainable Energy," will be the first in the 2007-08 Economic Policy Lecture Series, which is presented jointly by the university's Division of Management and Institute for the Study of Economics and the Environment. Admission is free and the lecture is open to the public.
Bradley has written several books and numerous essays on the history of energy regulation and market approaches to energy-policy reform.
"A current mantra among energy planners is the sustainability of renewable energies such as wind and solar power," Bradley says. "Enron made major investments in a wind company and a solar company and offered one-stop energy outsourcing for large energy users. Why did Enron choose to invest in these frontier areas, and how did these initiatives turn out? What are the lessons for today's debates over energy and climate policy?"

CAMBRIDGE, Mass. – Seniors Zach Kabelac (Potomac, Md.) and Max Stein-Golenbock (Boston, Mass.) will represent the MIT men's soccer team at the NEISL Senior All-Star Game on Sunday, Nov. 27. The action will kick off at 11:00 a.m. at Harvard's Soldiers Field Soccer Stadium.
The Engineers' first selections since 2000, Kabelac and Stein-Golenbock are also the most participants to earn this honor in program history. The duo received NEWMAC first team All-Conference accolades earlier this month after leading MIT to the semifinals of the conference tournament. Kabelac closed his career tied for second in goals (40), tied for third in points (97), and tied for fifth in assists (17). An integral component of the Cardinal and Gray's midfield, Stein-Golenbock totaled four goals and nine assists for 17 points during his four-year career.

The library will be open on July 1.
At the Hood River branch, a celebration will start at 4 p.m., one year to the day since the library was closed. The event will coincide with the July 1 downtown First Friday.
Officially, the library will reopen on Tuesday, July 5, in the Hood River, Cascade Locks and Parkdale branches.
For the first time, the Parkdale and Cascade Locks branches will have Saturday hours, announced Buzzy Nielsen, the new library director.
Since starting work June 1, Nielsen has been busy developing the schedule, writing job descriptions and preparing a budget for opening the library in July.
In November 2010 county voters approved a County Library District, for which tax revenue won't be collected until November. The library, formerly a department of Hood River County, was closed July 1, 2010, after the county cut it from its general fund budget and voters turned down a May 2010 ballot request to form a taxing district.
In what is known as "early opening," the foundation has donated $60,000 and helped acquire grants and community donations sufficient to get the library open, with limited hours and minimal staffing, from July through October.
"You have made it possible for us to have an early opening day," Nielsen told the Foundation Thursday, his first meeting with the group.
Tuesday was his first meeting with the library district board, chaired by Sara Duckwall Snyder.
Jen Bayer of the foundation board announced Thursday that the May 14 "Feast of Words/Dessert First" event and related dinners have so far raised $18,000 for the early opening. Those proceeds will make it possible for Nielsen to add even more hours this summer. He said he will decide when and where to add hours after he has hired his staff.
Job descriptions have been posted for seven part-time positions; see hoodriverlibrary.org for details
Nielsen told the board that the Cascade Locks hours are designed to coincide with the community's parks and recreation summer events. In Hood River, the Friday evening hours are intended to complement the monthly First Friday events.
It won't be hard for library patrons to get to know Nielsen, who lives in Cascade Locks. He said he will work the desk at all three branches at least one day each week for the first few months.
"It's important that I do this. I want to learn as much as I can about what each branch wants," Nielsen said.
Another of his tasks this summer will be to spend $20,000 from a Wichita Falls Community Foundation Grant on children's collection. Every book purchased under the grant will contain a bookplate reading, "given in honor of longtime Library Director June Knudson," who retired in 2010.
Nielsen noted that while the grant must be spent by Aug. 31, patrons won't necessarily see every one of those books on the shelves right away, because of limited staffing and the time needed to process and catalog each book for circulation.

CAMBRIDGE, Mass. – No. 11 MIT finished second at this weekend's New England Division III outdoor track and field championship hosted at the Steinbrenner track. The Engineers posted a score of 124 points but it was not enough to overcome Williams College, which captured the team crown with 157 points.
Senior Portia Jones (Queens, N.Y.) had an outstanding individual effort, winning one event and adding three runner-up performances. Jones won the 100-meter hurdles with a time of 14.34 seconds. She took second in the 100 and 200 meters and was part of the second-place 4x100 relay. Seniors Martha Gross (Short Hills, N.J.) and Jamie Simmons (Carlsbad, Calif.) and sophomore Jacqueline Brew (Amherst, N.H.) joined Jones on the 4x100 relay that finished in 47.48 seconds, just over two-tenths behind the winning group from Worcester State University.

The Chesapeake Bay was among the first regions settled by European explorers, and at one point, much of it was up for grabs. In the 1650s, Dutch conquistadors wanted to extend their rule of New Amsterdam (New York) into Maryland. They sent a man named Augustine Herrman to Maryland's colonial capital, St. Mary's City, to present their case to the governor. Herrman's expedition left from New Castle, Delaware, and sailed down the modern day Bohemia River, to the Elk River, and then into the Chesapeake Bay. Although Herrman and his team weren't able to convince the Maryland governor to allow the Dutch to move east, Herrman was so impressed with the region's beauty that he himself decided to settle there.

After striking a deal with Maryland leaders, Herrman received 4,000 acres in northeast Maryland, between the Elk River and the Bohemia River (formerly named the Oppoquermine River). Since Herrman was a native of Prague, which was then Bohemia, he named his new home "Bohemia Manor" and renamed the river.
As part of the deal, Herrman agreed to create a map of the Chesapeake Bay. The detailed account of the region was used throughout the next century.
(Image courtesy Maps of Pennsylvania)
Herrman and his surveying crew predicted the concept of the Chesapeake and Delaware Canal, constructed nearly 150 years later. In 1661, he wrote, "the Mingaskil and aforesaid Bohemia River run there within a league [3 miles] from each other from where we shall in time have communication with each other by water."
As Herrman's reputation and importance grew, he convinced Maryland leaders to make northeastern Maryland its own county; as a result, Cecil County was born, and the region was separated from Baltimore County.
Although the Bohemia was navigable in Herrman's time, today, the 5-mile tributary to the Elk River in southwestern Delaware and northeastern Maryland has since filled with sediment from agricultural operations, rendering it unsuitable for boat navigation.
A drawbridge, known as the "Bohemia River Bridge," allowed people and farm goods to cross the Bohemia until the late 1990s, when it was demolished. Today, Maryland Route 213 crosses the river in its place, providing gorgeous views of the meandering river.
More from the Bohemia River:
- To learn more about the "First Lord of Bohemia Manor," Augustine Herrman, read his biography.
- This Bay Journal article provides a thorough history of the Bohemia River region.
- Hunt, hike or just enjoy the scenery at Earleville Wildlife Management Area, just south of where the Bohemia River meets the Elk River.
- Camp out at Elk Neck State Park, where the Elk River and North East River meet the Chesapeake Bay. Just a few miles downriver of the Bohemia, the park offers camping, lighthouse tours, a beach area and many other attractions.

by David Bird » Fri Mar 15, 2013 2:56 pmLate last year I finally gave Cowboy Bebop a try and it's my new favourite anime. So much so, that I'm already ready for a re-watch.
For those who haven't seen it, it's a Noir/Western/SF series about a couple of down on their luck bounty hunters ("cowboys") who live on a spaceship called the Bebop. They are an ex-cop named Jet Black and an ex-mobster named Spike Spiegel. The latter looks a bit like Lupin, to me anyway, except for the hair. The crew eventually fills out to include a dog, Ein, Faye Valentine, a gambler with a strange past (or no past, depending on how you look at it) and Edward, a young girl and consummate hacker.
In the past I've done issue by issue overviews of comics I like and am re-reading. I'd read them, post my thoughts on each issue, and hope to generate some discussion. I'm going to give it a try with Cowboy Bebop. As for Spoilers, I'll try to avoid them in my initial posts, but you can't really discuss an episode without some spoilage, so it's Reader Beware!
Session One: Asteroid Blues
The first episode—or 'session,' they try to work a musical theme into each episode—is called 'Asteroid Blues.'
It starts with a prologue, instead of just jumping into the usual opening. Spike is standing in the rain. He's got a rose and is waiting for someone. He gives up. There's a gunfight. Then we get the opening sequence. I really like the opening sequence. I put it up there is the original Hawaii 5-0's. Exciting, stylish, and it introduces everyone but the dog.
Having started with what looks like an Old World city, we now shift to jump gates over Mars. Spike is working out. Jet is cooking. The set up of this episode, including the prologue, gives the impression that Spike is the star. As the series progresses, we see this isn't true, but the story of why he was waiting in the rain crops up again and again and becomes as close to an overall arc as the series gets. Typically, it's all fast paced, done in one stories.
In this story they decide to go after the bounty on a guy named Asimov Solensan. He's killed members of his own gang and stolen their entire supply of a drug called red eye, or bloody eye. The drug quickens reflexes and may cause violent episodes (but that could just be Solensan, I'm not sure). He's travelling with a beautiful woman with an enormously pregnant belly. Sources give her name as Katrina Solensan, but I honestly don't remember her name being given in the show, nor that the two are married. She hopes they can sell the drugs and move from the asteroid bio-dome they live in, called Tijuana, and move to Mars.
Tijuana, at least the portion we're introduced to, is a rough, run down neighborhood. Much of space looks and feels lived in in the series. Spike goes to see an old Amerindian fortune-teller named Bull. Having watched the show through, it seems a bit atypical and I wondered on second viewing if Bull wasn't actually an informant selling information through oblique references. We also met the three old codgers, a recurring comedic element . Really the only thing I didn't like about it was a scene in which we view a fight through a gun sight. It created a game feel to it that didn't quite belong.
I listened to the commentary, something I've gotten out of the habit of doing. There's a funny story about one of the actors meeting the director. They'd worked together before, but the actor could not remember at all. Interesting facts learned: this episode wasn't originally broadcast, due to drug use and violence; the show was very popular within the industry and among people who don't usually watch anime, creating a lot work for those involved; and the three old codgers are named Antonio, Carlos, and Jobim, after the bossa nova composer/musician… Antonio Carlos Jobim.
After listening to the commentary, which is in Japanese, I decided to re-watch the episode in Japanese. To date I had only watched it in English. I watch a lot of sub-titled stuff. Practically everything, actually. English is my wife's third or fourth language and she's more comfortable watching things with the sub-titles on. I think I'll stick with the dubbed version. It's a quality dubbing and it makes the experience more immediate.
A good start to series, that creates a good sense of noirish futility. Rating: Four Stars
by Garofani Spruzzo » Fri Mar 15, 2013 3:05 pmCorgis are awesome.
by sdsichero » Fri Mar 15, 2013 3:33 pmCowboy Bebop is one of my favorites. One of the few that is good with the English dub as well.
Did you watch Samurai Champloo?
by LoganRSA » Fri Mar 15, 2013 3:33 pmBebop is a fantastic series, about the only anime I'll watch. The song "Call Me, Call Me" from one of the last episodes is one of my favorite songs now, too.
by David Bird » Fri Mar 15, 2013 4:04 pm
No, til now I hadn't even heard of Samurai Champloo. How does it compare?
by sdsichero » Fri Mar 15, 2013 8:06 pm
They shared the same producer, Shinichiro Watanabe.
Though different in theme, tone, and setting there is a "feeling" of some similarity. Perhaps it's the "Watanabe" touch.
Samurai Champloo is set in the waning days of the samurai era, but there are many anachronisms (eg. a rapping samurai in a gold palaquin). There are three main characters similar to CB, but less side characters.
Like CB, there are a lot of music references, but in Champloo (like the name suggests), it's more mixed up and thrown together. Worth a look I think, though it may take a bit to get adjusted. Also pretty good in English.
by David Bird » Fri Mar 15, 2013 8:13 pmI'm going to give it a shot (ie, I've ordered it already).
by Wally Brando » Fri Mar 15, 2013 8:32 pmI am not a big anime fan, but I consider Cowboy Bebop to be one of my all-time favorite series - animated or not.
It has one of my top 3 endings.
by sdsichero » Fri Mar 15, 2013 8:33 pm
I hope you like it.
by S.F. Jude Terror » Fri Mar 15, 2013 9:24 pmThis is the only anime I've ever made it all the way through.
by sdsichero » Fri Mar 15, 2013 9:39 pm
by sdsichero » Fri Mar 15, 2013 9:40 pm
You liked it?
I have to rethink my opinion of it now.
by S.F. Jude Terror » Fri Mar 15, 2013 9:42 pm
Shut it, nerdyboy.
by sdsichero » Fri Mar 15, 2013 9:44 pm
by sdsichero » Fri Mar 15, 2013 9:50 pmBTW David, Watanabe recently did another project translated into English. Also with heavy musical themes (and he reunites with Yoko Kanno who did the music for Bebop) called Kids on the Slope (坂道のアポロン Sakamichi no Apollon). I watched 4 or 5 episodes on Crunchyroll. I liked it but since I got busy lost track of it. It also did not have the fantasy element I prefer (they were ordinary teenagers, not set in space or samurai times). Also three main characters (when I last left off anyway).

Meet Yoddah and Pasang, our two very cheeky male Red Pandas.
Yoddah and Pasang joined the Zoo family in April this year. Our boys have certainly settled in very well and are great hosts for our daily encounters.
Everyday at Australia Zoo, our guests have the opportunity to meet our adorable Red Pandas in a private feeding session. These boys will sit on your lap for a stunning photo opportunity and hangout while you feed them.
As summer rolls around, our two cheeky boys are slowing down and spending time high in their trees to catch the breeze. To encourage Yoddah and Pasang to come down and say G'Day to everone, their keepers bring out their favourite foods and they usually respond very eagerly!
It is typical for Red Pandas in captivity and in the wild, to be less active and consume less food in the warmer months, so we need to become more patient as they take their time to wake up and come down to see us.
Be sure to check out Yoddah and Pasang next time you visit Australia Zoo!

1. What is your advice to incoming freshman about Yale Tennis?
I would give three pieces of advice to incoming freshman. First, when you [are part of] the Yale Tennis family you should prepare for great accomplishments as a result of working hard each and every day. Second, you should quickly learn how to manage your time well. Last, don't be afraid to depend on the support and guidance of your upper classmen.
2. How do you get the team ready/pumped up for each match? Any specific activities?
To get pumped up for a match we huddle together as a team, and say words of encouragement to each other (without the coaches) then cheer.
3. After graduation what aspect of Yale Tennis will you miss the most?
I will miss the accessibility of my teammates, coaches and training staff.
4. One word that describes Yale Women's Tennis?

I think Win8 is a step AHEAD of the OS industry. Why? Most people with PCs now a days are those All-in-ones, not towers. I guess the OS industry doesn't want to stay behind so MS goes ahead and advances us to a new generation of possibilities.
Will I upgrade... no. Why? because it is not fit for any of my PCs because Win8 is intended for touchscreen PCs, and I don't have one.
But you can upgrade if you want...

Does anyone remember a desktop interface that surfaced on Puppy (pun intended)?
It was a tile button type of interface that was supposedly targeted at older people.
Maybe that designer of that Puppy desktop interface could tell MS that the idea was his and collect on it!

It was a desktop interface with big buttons that was supposed to make Puppy easier for old folks.
And the program had been around for a number of years if I remember correctly.
I cannot remember the author of it though.

Hi 8-bit,
Your post sparked my interest & I found more than I expected, none of which I was previously aware of.

I guess I'm out of touch with modern OSes, but I finally saw Winows 7 least week, and have to say that it looks a lot like KDE.
But mention Linux to outside people (like 95% of them) is going to make them run like hell. Really. They'd rather switch to Mac even if it takes more learning.
Speaking of Macs, it is really not impossible to install Linux to a harddrive with a GUID partition table and EFI. It can be a pain at times, but it is quite doable, and I'm sure it could be done even with the other kind of EFI everyone is worried about, as long as someone writes a decent bootloader.

Post subject: Windows 8 Pro
I was using Vista and discovered that setting up and exploring Windows 8 is relatively cheap and easy. You can buy five upgrade licenses for $40. The official
states that you can upgrade from XP, Vista, or Win7. I upgraded my copy of Vista which went fine and after installation I used Fatdog 64 to reinstall grub4dos so that I could boot all my linux os. It's working great, although it was time consuming because for a Vista upgrade, all extra software has to be reinstalled. Vista users should consider the upgrade, XP or Windows 7 users probably would not benefit unless they like the new look and feel of the metro desktop. I definitely prefer Windows 8 over Windows Vista.

NeoWin user sums it up
So tired of the Win8 is bigger/just like Windows 95 talk from Microsoft.
Windows 8 is the anti-95.
Win32 programs didn't gave you the feeling that something is amiss compared to Win 3.1 applications. (with Metro you have this feeling constantly). Even the first generation Win95 programs at launch felt more capable than their 3.1 precursors (Corel Draw 6, Office 95). Notro provides the complete opposite feeling.
Windows 95 came with uncrippled winfile.exe and progman.exe (the win 3.1 GUI), and you were able to boot directly into it without even seeing 95's explorer.exe at all ("shell=progman.exe" in system.ini). (works in win 98 too) There was even an official option at the Windows 95 setup for that if you upgraded from Win3.1.
You also were able to directly boot into DOS with ease (just set bootgui=0 in msdos.sys, that also worked in Win 98.)
Windows 95 is the anti-thesis to Windows 8. The philosophies were completely different. The team had enough courage to provide all these options because it truly seemed as if they were proud and confident about the system to stand on its own. Windows 8 on the other hand comes across as coward's darling - "the users are too stupid to appreciate our beautiful hippster GUI, let's cripple the desktop as much as we can to force them to this". Windows 95 didn't need any crippling, users have chosen explorer.exe because it was better, and they had the ability to use the old GUI without compromise If they wished to do so.
Windows 95 is confidence. Windows 8 is cowardice.
Seems to me Microsoft Windows 8 Metro is going back to the 3.1 interface. Kind of like an app window and dropping the menu interface. Ah well, ten years time and a few hundred $$$ lighter, I'm sure MS users will get menu windows back hyped as the next big thing.

Win-8 could be the "new Coke" of OSes. Coke wanted to switch to a cheaper product so they made "new Coke" taste awful so that when they brought out a new product and called it "Coke Classic" people would see it as better than the previous product and not compare it to the version before that. Win-9 in this theory will have a "Menu" button and not a "Start" button and come with fewer free things but be basically Win-7 all over again.

As the health club industry evolves and faces growing competition, interior design and décor have become more important than ever to a club's success.
The visual environment that creates the emotional experience people have when they are in a club has become as important for a club's success as any other element, including good equipment, location and a strong sales staff.
Décor creates an experience for everyone who enters your doors. That experience can be boring and bland or beautiful and exciting. Most people hate exercise and need all the help they can get to motivate them to become a member and continue as a member. Enjoying how a club looks and feels can be the factor that hooks some people into returning to your club despite their distaste for exercising.
Recently, while sitting in a 30,000-square-foot club that was going through a badly needed renovation, I witnessed a long-standing member confront the owner about why the renovation was taking place. The member quickly scoffed at the idea of "wasting" money on flooring, lighting and a new front desk. Instead, he said the owner should purchase more equipment (despite the club being packed with equipment).
The owner immediately questioned his decision to do such a significant makeover until I reminded him that the club was losing existing members (especially women and deconditioned individuals) to newer, much more attractive competitors.
In another situation, two women toured the locker room of a new club that recently opened in New Jersey. They were so moved and surprised by how the locker rooms looked that they called their girlfriends during the tour to tell them that they had to come see the locker room. It was not the equipment, location or smiling faces that prompted this call; it was the beauty and upscale ambiance that they had not expected in a health club.
Of course, any interior renovation should be done while controlling expenses. Spending more money does not automatically make an environment more appealing. If, for example, a new club can be built for $45 per square foot and can generate the same number of members and price levels as a club costing $75 per square foot, then obviously the less expensive build-out would result in increased profits.
Interestingly, many new club owners and operators of existing clubs undergoing renovations believe they do not need a strong interior, so they spend as little as possible in this area. This old-fashioned thinking only weakens a club's competitive position and ability to attract new members.
This points to the increasing need for clubs to do what other industries do — get professional help to create the desired result with their club's interior. There is an art and science to working with shapes, colors, lighting, finishes and budgets. It is similar to personal training. Individuals who want to lose weight and get in shape will have more success working with an experienced trainer with a strong reputation than trying to do it on their own.
Clubs can no longer afford to be average and uninviting. A good sales staff, a good location and a lot of equipment are no longer enough. Smart club owners should consider some type of renovation every three to five years. Individuals building new clubs must ensure the building's design and décor immediately stand out in the marketplace.
Clubs sell a product that promises to improve the appearance of an individual. It only makes sense that a club follows suit by looking its absolute best.
Bruce Carter is the president of Optimal Fitness Design Systems International, a club design firm that has created about $420 million worth of clubs in 45 states and 26 countries.

Downed plane reported in Canton
Staff and wire reports
CANTON -- A husband and wife from Florida were killed Monday night when their small plane crashed into a rocky ridge in a wooded area.
According to preliminary accident information, the FAA reported that the "aircraft crashed under unknown circumstances. The two persons on board were fatally injured."
Canton Police Capt. Lawrence Terra identified the victims as Donald Derocher, 73, and Josephine Derocher, 74. They were most recently living in Live Oak, Fla., but were flying to Connecticut to visit family, Terra said. He said the couple were former Canton residents.
The Federal Aviation Administration notified Simsbury Airport that the plane, which was tracked by Bradley International Airport, had dropped from the radar. Although initial reports were that the plane had left from Waterbury-Oxford airport around 7 p.m., airport manager Matt Kelly said that the Derochers did not use his facility. "They were not here. I checked with my tower and with the FBI,''said Kelly, who went to the crash site as part of the response team.
The Derochers' single-engine Cherokee Arrow was manufactured in 1965, according to FAA records. Donald Derocher was the registered owner since 2007. The Cherokee does not present any unique challenges to pilots, said Kelly, who has logged 150 hours in that type of aircraft.
The couple's plane was located by a State Police helicopter on a ridge around 10:30 p.m. near the Canton/Simsbury town line. It took first responders at least a half-hour to reach the wreckage in the deep woods.
The plane struck the hillside of Onion Mountain, a 900-foot ridge of trap rock created by lava flows.
State police troopers, some using the department's helicopter, searched the surrounding area. No explosions or fires in the area were reported.
The FAA handed off the investigation of the crash to the National Transportation Safety Board, which is the standard practice in such cases, said Jim Peters, the FAA spokesman. An NTSB inspector was due to arrive at the crash site Tuesday afternoon, officials said.
Mike Safranek, assistant administrator of Danbury Municipal Airport, said the plane was reported missing when it dropped off the radar system operated by Bradley International Airport.
Safranek added that members of the Civil Air Patrol are often called upon as part of their mission to confirm or deny a downed aircraft. Members of the patrol use either visual confirmation or search for a signal from the plane's emergency locator transponder.
Simsbury Airport is a non-towered public use airport, maintained and operated by the nonprofit Simsbury Flying Club for members and transient general aviation aircraft. Its single runway is about 2,200 feet long. Oxford airport, operated by the state of Connecticut, has a 5,800-foot runway and a control tower.
The plane crashed in the Simsbury-owned Onion Mountain Park. The heavily-wooded 190-acre park has hiking trails and a steep ridge. The park is located several miles south of Simsbury airport.
The rust-colored ridges are common through central Connecticut and Massachusetts. According to the state Department of Energy and Environmental Protection, the steep ridges were formed by broad, liquid outpourings of lava millions of years ago. Three major lava flows covered the central Connecticut valley floor. Each one cooled and hardened into traprock, also called basalt, and was gradually covered by sand and mud eroded from the surrounding hills.

Power limited fire alarm circuits are critical to the safety and well being of building occupants who find themselves in a burning building. During such an event it's critical that fire safety equipment such as fire pumps, fire alarm signaling equipment, elevators, and alarms remain operational for a specified amount of time. These circuits are considered essential communications paths during an evacuation or relocation of building occupants during a fire or emergency situation.
A change to 760.61, Application of Listed PLFA Cables, in the 2005 NEC now permits the use of Type FPLP-CI cable on installations where fire-alarm circuits must continue to operate during a fire. Circuit integrity (CI) cables are designed to provide a minimum 2-hour operational rating when exposed to extreme heat and fire. They're also designed to limit the fire load in a space and produce a low smoke output when burning. Many in the industry agree this is a positive change in the Code.
But what might be even more interesting with respect to this section of the Code is what didn't get changed.
Turning up the heat. Additional changes to 760.61 were meant to correlate with NFPA 90A, "Standard for the Installation of Air-Conditioning and Ventilating Systems — 2002," by removing the option from the NEC to place cable in ducts and plenums [300.22(B)], and providing a listing, marking, and unique application requirement for limited combustible cable in other spaces used for environmental air, such as ceiling cavity plenums and raised floor plenums. However, controversy arose from the proposals submitted, which would have:
Deleted permission to install unlimited quantities of combustible plenum cable in air ducts and in plenums, other than ceiling cavity plenums and raised floor plenums.
Correlated NEC terminology with that of NFPA 90A.
The proposed effect of these changes would have been to modify applications of plenum cable from ducts, plenums, and other spaces used for environmental air to suitable for use in ceiling cavity plenums and raised floor plenums. But as you might imagine, there is much concern surrounding cable being installed in air ducts.
The purpose of a plenum is to transmit environmental air throughout a building. Therefore, the flame and smoke characteristics of all materials located within these spaces are very important. The proposed changes to 760.61 would have prohibited the placement of cables in ducts and plenums [300.22(B)], even though unlimited quantities of cables have been placed in air distribution systems since this requirement was added in the 1975 NEC.
In the 2002 NEC cycle, concerns over the increasing amounts of combustible cables in plenums were addressed when proposals were accepted to remove accessible portions of abandoned cables. But not all abandoned cables are accessible. Due to changes in construction of a building (i.e., where the area above a ceiling plenum has been sheet-rocked over, or where interlocking ceiling tiles are installed with no provision for access to the area above) some abandoned cables are inaccessible. This may be the case in commercial buildings.
Working on a solution. Anticipating that cables will be installed in ducts, plenums, and other spaces used for environmental air, what can be done to increase safety and reduce potential fire hazards, including toxicity of burning cables? A simple solution would be to ban the installation of all cables in these spaces. But that would still leave all of the existing cables that have already been installed in these spaces. The alternative is to specify cables with a very low smoke-producing characteristic that won't propagate flame when burning, which is included in Fine Print Notes. This is where NFPA 90A comes back into the picture.
During the 2005 NEC Code-change cycle, the NFPA Standards Council assigned primary jurisdiction for combustibles in plenums to the Technical Correlating Committee on Air Conditioning, and directed it to seek the cooperation of the committees on Fire Tests, National Electrical Code, and Safety to Life. The Technical Committee submitted proposals to correlate their efforts in revising NFPA 90A with those of the NEC.
NFPA 90A, which allows cables to be installed in plenums, requires cables installed in ceiling cavity plenums and raised floor plenums to be one of three types:
Listed noncombustible cable
Listed limited combustible cable
Listed cable that meets the requirements of NFPA 262, "Standard Method of Test for Flame Travel and Smoke of Wires and Cables for Use in Air-Handling Spaces"
Each type of cable has different fire resistance characteristics. These cables are listed in descending order of fire resistance, similar to Table 760.82(I). The Fine Print Note (FPN) of 760.82(I) states, "Cable types are listed in descending order of fire resistance rating."
For a cable to be classified as limited combustible it must have a maximum potential heat of 8,141 J/g and a maximum flame spread index of 25. One method of defining a low potential heat cable is establishing an acceptable value of potential heat when tested in accordance with NFPA 259, "Standard Test Method for Potential Heat of Building Materials." One method of defining a low flame spread cable is establishing an acceptable value of flame spread when tested in accordance with NFPA 255, "Standard Method of Test of Surface Burning Characteristics of Building Materials." Listed combustible cable is defined by these three requirements:
- Maximum potential heat
- Maximum flame spread index
- Maximum smoke developed index
NFPA 90A requires that supplementary materials for air distribution systems have a maximum flame spread index of 25 and a maximum smoke developed index of 50.
This leaves you with two types of cable that are currently suitable for this type of installation. Cables that meet the requirements of supplementary material could be used in limited applications, but they couldn't be used in ceiling cavity plenums and raised floor plenums. Limited combustible cables could be used because they meet all the requirements for supplementary materials while also meeting the requirements for use in ceiling cavity and raised floor plenums.
But this also potentially opens the door for the use of new fire alarm power-limited duct cable (FPLD), which is a limited fire hazard cable that offers a significantly lower fuel load and lower smoke production features than conventional Type FPL plenum cables. However, there are concerns related to the use of "duct cable" or "limited combustible cable," including toxicity of the newly specified product and relative incapacitation factor presented by the chemical constituents of the polymer in the new cable design.
The jacketing and insulating materials used in duct cable and limited combustible cable is subject to heat decomposition and the emission of sub-lethal toxic fumes. Some of these fumes can incapacitate the building occupants. A recent study by the NFPA Fire Protection Research Foundation has advanced an international effort to make certain that people can escape a burning building before being overcome by smoke or gases generated by thermal decomposition. This work is part of a revolution in fire safety in which codes and standards are beginning to address how much smoke or gases generated by thermal decomposition will incapacitate people, rather than how much will kill them. Some people will also argue that the requirements for using duct cable have failed to recognize toxicity or emissions that are essentially colorless, such as hydrogen fluoride, which converts to hydrofluoric acid upon contact with any mixture, and other toxic gases may be generated.
Nowhere in the NEC will you find the term "limited combustible" cable. That's because the NFPA Standards Council has concluded that the term "limited combustible" isn't appropriate to cable. Although there was talk of adding this term to the 2005 NEC, the Standards Council agreed the best course of action for them to take with regard to this subject was to refrain from making revisions that would interrelate with NFPA 90A, "Standard for the Installation of Air-Conditioning and Ventilating Systems."
The Standards Council is now waiting for completion of the NFPA 90A revision cycle before it proceeds with making further changes to the NEC. Many issues must be addressed and agreed upon throughout the 2008 NEC Code change cycle. One thing is a sure bet: Code-Making Panels No. 3 and 16 have a lot of work ahead of them related to these delicate cabling issues.

I made some black chicken soup last weekend, my first time experimenting it in the kitchen. Normally, I would use the usual white chicken. Herbal soup is quite a common remedy soup among the Chinese, and it usually contains various herbs and roots. So, to make my job easy, I have opted for the ready-to-boil packed herbs easily available at Jaya Grocer, Empire Shopping Centre :). In terms of taste, I still very much prefer the herbal soup with white chicken - it simply tastes better!
I know what's on your mind! LOL

Birds, butterflies, beaver and antelope, wildflowers and frogs--could their survival possibly be connected to top predators like the wolf and cougar? "Lords of Nature" goes behind the scenes with leading scientists to explore the role top predators play in restoring and maintaining ecosystems and biodiversity. Wolves and cougars, once driven to the edge of existence, are finding their way back--from the Yellowstone plateau to the canyons of Zion, from the farm country of northern Minnesota to the rugged open range of the West. "Lords of Nature" tells the story of science now discovering the great carnivores as revitalizing forces of nature, and a society now learning tolerance for the beasts they had once banished.
Lords of Nature: Life in a Land of Great Predators is not showing in any theaters in the area.

Sri Aurobindo's close spiritual collaborator, Mirra Richard, was known as The Mother. She was born in Paris on February 21, 1878.
Sri Aurobindo considered her his spiritual equal and collaborator. After November 24, 1926, when Sri Aurobindo retired into seclusion, he left it to her to plan, run and build the growing Sri Aurobindo Ashram, the community of disciples that had gathered around them.
Set amidst numerous pockets of a rugged hilly terrain and an extensive reservoir is Kechla, a conglomeration of several hamlets inhabited primarily by a tribal populace. Nestled within these hillocks is the Auro-Mira Vidya Mandir, a school that is home to nearly a hundred and ten children.Blessed by the beauty and calm of nature around, the pristine surroundings lend a special hue to the school
Sri Aurobindo (15 August 1872 – 5 December 1950), born Aurobindo Ghosh, was an Indiannationalist, freedom fighter, philosopher, yogi, guru and poet. He joined the Indian movement for freedom from British rule, for a while became one of its influential leaders and then turned into a spiritual reformer, introducing his visions on human progress and spiritual evolution...

Why See Fun Home?
Winner of five Tony Awards!
Hailed as Broadway's most original new musical in years, the multi Tony-winning Fun Home is hitting the road in 2016. An emotionally charged and poignant family drama, Fun Home is inspired by the graphic novel of the same name by Alison Bechdel, in which she explores her coming out and the suicide of her domineering father Bruce. An inventively staged patchwork of memories and conversations taking place over three different time periods, the show is written by Lisa Kron (Voyage to Lesbos) and is laced together with a remarkable, Seventies-inflected score from Jeanine Tesori (Thoroughly Modern Millie).
Fun Home first played Off-Broadway at The Public Theatre in 2013, before transferring to Broadway's Circle in the Square Theatre. Utterly distinct from The Great White Way's usual assortment of revivals and movie adaptations, this production was adored by critics and audiences alike, and became the year's most atypical smash hit! It was nominated for an astounding twelve Tony Awards, and won five, including Best Musical and Best Original Score.
What is Fun Home About?
Alison Bechdel looks back through three separate periods of her life, a jumble of memories that always seem to center on her controlling father Bruce, who was prone to violent mood swings and bouts of depression. Her father killed himself soon after Alison came out during college, and it's later revealed that he himself was gay, but had never been able to come out of the closet. As she reconstructs their relationship in her mind, Alison wonders what part her revelation played in his death.
Did You Know?
Alison Bechdel is the originator of the Bechdel Test, the simple three point test of gender equality in film that so many Hollywood blockbusters fail to pass.
