Each year, the Florida Memory team selects one large archival collection for digitization and addition to the website.
This year, our friends at the Florida Historical Society in Cocoa loaned us two collections from their holdings for digitization. The first is Governor John Milton's letterbook from 1861-1863. The second collection includes correspondence and other documents related to two-time territorial governor Richard Keith Call and his daughter Ellen Call Long.
We will scan the original documents, such as the one below, and make them searchable through an online database. This process will take about one year, with the collection going live in the summer of 2014.
This series of blog posts will chronicle the digitization of these remarkable collections and highlight significant documents discovered along the way.
Stay tuned for the second installment, which examines the journey of Governor John Milton's letterbook to Tallahassee… for the third time.

.class file in Java is core of achieving platform independence which is key feature of Java. class files are compiled form of any Java program written in byte codes. Since Java program executes inside JVM, these instructions are read by JVM and than translated into machine code for underlying platform. effectively you can run class file on any platform if you have a corresponding JVM supported for that platform. Java compilers are responsible for generating .class file and they follow class file format specified by Sun and its different based on different Java version. This article is not a detailed one focused on class file format instead it contains basic information about class files and intended to give an idea about what is a class file in Java and what are some important points related to class files.
This Java article is in continuation of my series of 10 points of interface in Java and 10 Object oriented design principles for Java programmer. If you haven't got chance to read them you may find them useful.
What is class file in Java
In general every class file in java contains definition of a single class or interface in stream of 8 bit bytes. Every .class file follows a predefined class file format, failing which .class file will be deemed invalid and not run on any JVM or JRE. class file is generated by Java compilers and executed by Java virtual machine and its byte code is verified during class loading process, which address possibility of altering .class file externally. One of the reason Java is considered relatively safe and secure language is its ability to verify class file byte codes before executing it. class file contains 10 basic sections which specifies all data and meta data like magic numbers, major and minor version of class file etc. Read officialVM spec for class file format for more details on how a .class file looks like.
Important points about class file in Java
1. class file in java is generated when you compile .java file using any Java compiler like Sun's javac which comes along JDK installation and can be found in JAVA_HOME/bin directory.
2. class file contains byte codes. byte codes are special platform independent instruction for Java virtual machine. bytecode is not a machine language and mere instruction to JVM. since every machine or processor e.g. INTEL or AMD processor may have different instruction for doing same thing, its left on JVM to translate bytecode into machine instruction and by this way java achieves platform independence.
3. class file of inner class contains $ in there name. So if a Java source file contains two classes, one of them is inner class than java compiler will generate two class file. separate class file for top level and inner class. you can distinguish them by looking at there name. Suppose you have top level class as "Hello" and inner class as "GoodBye" then java compiler will generate two class file:
Hello$GoodBye.class is a class file for inner class. whose name is in format of top-class$inner-class.
4. You can look bytecode of class file using javap command. javap command can also display method and field information from .class file. see my post how to decompile .class file in Java for more details.
5. class file format is subject to change and its changed to support new feature introduced in Java 1.5. In general every java compiler and JRE comes with supported version of .class file format and you can not run a .class file which is in higher version of those supported by JRE. this often result in java.lang.UnsupportedClassVersion. class file has two version major and minor which is included inside class file. See my post Bad version number in .class file for more details.
6. .class file in java is identified by a magic number in header which is a 4 byte CA FE BA BE ( in hex). which is the first element in .class file, followed by major and minor versions of class file
7. .class file allows Java Virtual machine to implement security. Since number of instruction class file contains are limited. also if some one tempers .class file externally it may not run on different browsers and JRE.
8. Java class file can be divided into 10 basic sections e.g.
Magic Number : 0xCAFEBABE
Major and Minor class version or .class file
Constant pool - constants for this class
Access modifiers - to indicate whether class is static or abstract
This class - name of this class
Super class - name of super class
Interfaces -
9. Top level .class file name is same as name of java source file e.g. Hello.java will produce Hello.class
10. You can view class file in any hex editor or any byte code viewer plug-in in Eclipse.
That's all on what is class file and basics of .class file. As I said this is not a detailed article on .class file format rather this is the bare minimum information regarding .class file an average java programmer should be familiar with. I highly recommend to read more about .class file format if you are interested but it depends upon your experience level and beginners may not find the class file format easy to understand.

Sloan Center News
Older Adults Struggle in Job Search
16 November 2010—While many older workers may need—and want to have—jobs, their plans may not be realized. According to a sobering new study by Boston College's Sloan Center on Aging & Work and the Heldrich Center for Workforce Development at Rutgers University, older job seekers often face daunting challenges in finding employment compared to younger workers.
The New Unemployables study reveals that, among job seekers unemployed during the recent recession, adults aged 55+ are finding it increasingly difficult to land a job and are more likely to remain out of work longer than younger job seekers. The findings discussed in this study are based on a national random sample of over 900 unemployed Americans surveyed in August of 2009 and follow-up interviews in March of 2010 conducted by the Heldrich Center for Workforce Development at Rutgers University. The study reveals that the vast majority (84%) of older workers who were unemployed in August 2009 were still unemployed in March 2010. More than two thirds of older job seekers (67%) included in the survey reported looking for work longer than a year.
As a result of their prolonged bouts of unemployment, many older job seekers have altered their retirement plans and dipped into their savings to make ends meet. "Most older workers feel they cannot afford to consider retirement," says Carl Van Horn, Director of the Heldrich Center for Workforce Development at Rutgers University and co-author of the New Unemployables study. "In the short term, they need access to more intensive job search assistance, training, and education to help ensure their skills fit the needs of today's economy. In the longer term, older workers hope that more employers will reassess their hiring and retention policies and do more to welcome and accommodate this growing segment of the workforce."
Both older and younger job seekers reported trying a range of strategies to reconnect to the labor market. Young people appear to be doing more to enhance their workplace skills and create job search networks, however. Just 12% of the older workers surveyed had taken new education or training courses in the past year, for example, compared to 20% of younger job seekers. At the same time, only 13% of older job seekers had used online social networking sites, compared to 28% of younger job seekers. Of those who use the internet, older seekers tended to use online bulletin boards (56%) while younger seekers most frequently opted to use Facebook (51%).
Interestingly, those aged 55 and over seem to recognize that their strategies are not effective. Overall, 64% of older job seekers rated the job search tools they were using as not helpful, compared to less than half (49%) of younger job seekers.
The study also explores the economic, social and emotional impacts experienced by people who lost jobs during the recession. Analyses indicate that older survey respondents believe that age discrimination has also played a major role in their inability to find a new job. In addition, among respondents aged 55+, feeling stressed was the primary reaction to being without a job (58%), followed by feeling depressed (39%) and anxious (38%).
Jacquelyn James, Research Director of the Sloan Center on Aging & Work says, "Being summarily dismissed from the workforce can really be damaging to the self esteem of older adults—feelings of embarrassment can also make it difficult to reach out to networks and friends. And such stress and anxiety can further hinder an older job seeker's prospects, or even their desire to actively search for a job."
Indeed, the data described in the New Unemployables study revealed that a large majority of older workers reported symptoms of stress such as uneasiness and restlessness, strain in family relations, changes in sleeping patterns, and avoidance of social situations.
"In such situations," advises James, "it is important for older adults to reflect on the talent they bring to the workforce—the value they add. Older workers are generally more resilient and more engaged than younger workers—essential skills to emphasize when continuing the job search."

In August 2009, the Heldrich Center for Workforce Development, working with Knowledge Networks and its online nationally representative probability sample, surveyed 1,202 men and women who had been unemployed at some point in the preceding year. This data was used to develop the Heldrich Center's September 2009 report, "The Anguish of Unemployment", part of the Center's Work Trends series.
In March 2010, the Heldrich Center completed follow-up questionnaires with 908 of the original group, for a 76% panel completion rate. These new data were used for the Heldrich Center's May 2010 Work Trends report, "No End in Sight: The Agony of Prolonged Unemployment." The March data were also used for this study. To conduct the comparison between age groups, the Heldrich Center created a dichotomous variable for age, separating the groups into "under 55" and "55 and over". The N size is 908 for the full sample, 295 for 55+ and 615 under 55, with a .025 (or 2.5%) sampling error.

The rate of American fatalities in Afghanistan last month, the highest since US forces entered the country in 2001, is putting new pressure on the US and its allies to do more to counter insurgents there, but the pool of troops available to deploy is mostly dry.
US officials, including Defense Secretary Robert Gates, have signaled their desire to send more US troops to Afghanistan to fight a recently emboldened Taliban, more than six years after it was first defeated. But defense officials say the Pentagon is hamstrung by simple math: Mr. Gates can only send additional troops to Afghanistan when more are redeployed home from Iraq.
"I don't have troops I can reach for to send into Afghanistan until I have a reduced requirement in Iraq," said Adm. Mike Mullen, chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff in a Pentagon briefing Wednesday.
Admiral Mullen said there is no plan yet to accelerate new deployments to Afghanistan. These are still scheduled for "sometime in 2009," despite the improved situation in Iraq and emerging signs that violence in Afghanistan will continue to rise throughout the summer.
Last month, 28 American troops were killed in fighting in Afghanistan, the highest monthly number since 2001.
Maj. Gen. Jeffrey Schloesser, the top US commander in the country's eastern sector, says the violence is up 40 percent over last year in the US-led eastern sector of the country – still touted as a model of counterinsurgency work.
NATO officials point out, however, that most of the overall violence is still limited to under a dozen of the country's 365 districts.
Coalition commanders attribute the increase in violence to the warm season, which makes it easier for insurgents to fight, and to the increased efforts against the Taliban, Al Qaeda, and other "anti-coalition militias."
US officials have also expressed concern about insurgents staging attacks inside Afghanistan and then retreating to the border region in Pakistan, where the rules of engagement prevent coalition forces from entering.
The Pentagon last Friday issued a congressionally-mandated report on security and reconstruction in Afghanistan that portrayed a country still hobbled by insurgents' ability to create havoc. The report, the first of its kind and similar to one on Iraq issued quarterly for years, reflects the growing US focus on the war in Afghanistan.
"The Taliban regrouped after its fall from power and have coalesced into a resilient insurgency," the report said.
In addition to American casualties, 6,500 people died in 2007 as a result of suicide attacks, roadside bombs, and combat-related violence, the report added.
More than six years after the US declared victory over the Taliban in late 2001, the number of coalition fatalities have continued to climb, from 12 in 2001 to 232 last year, according to icasualties.org, which compiles casualty information. So far this year, there have been 123 coalition fatalities.
Since 2001, the US has had 541 fatalities, Great Britain 110, Canada 85, Germany 25, and the Netherlands 16, according to the website.
Combat operations in Afghanistan are led by NATO with a separate American force which makes up the largest contribution of any country deployed there.
As of June, there is a force of about 60,000 in Afghanistan, including about 33,000 Americans and 28,000 NATO forces from as many as 40 countries.
Analysts and defense officials believe more forces would help quell the violence. A deployment of about 3,300 Marine trainers and combat forces were sent there this spring. More are needed, analysts say, but the US's ability to send more rests on its ability to withdraw troops from Iraq.
This month, the US is withdrawing from Iraq the last of its five "surge brigades" that have been credited in part with the increased security situation there.
Gen. David Petraeus, the top US commander in Iraq, said earlier this year that he would recommend reducing American forces in Iraq beyond that sometime by fall. In testimony in Washington in May, General Petraeus was vague about the size of the additional withdrawal, but left open the possibility that it could be another brigade, a force of roughly 3,500 people.
Senior Pentagon officials have said privately they believe they could deploy another brigade to Afghanistan even without the additional withdrawal from Iraq – if one more brigade was allowed to return home from Iraq, that would free up enough soldiers to send a new unit into Afghanistan.
Mullen has said his first priority for sending forces to Afghanistan is to send trainers to help train and equip the fledgling Afghan National Army and police.

MDL + More
In addition to MDL, I think many could agree that MuseScore also needs MFE (MuseScore Front Ensemble), to work in conjuction with MFE as a soundfont. I understand it is hard to get nice sounds on an open-source software, but it would be nice to have. Here are suggestions for the soundfont in mind:
- Marimba (with 3 hardnesses); the marimba sounds a little bit like a toy xylophone with a deeper voice. It doesn't sound very rich.
- Vibraphone (with 3 hardnesses); the vibes don't exactly sound metallic enough
- Xylophone (with 2/3 hardnesses)
- Glockenspiel (with 2 hardnesses)
- Chimes/Tubular bells (with 2 hardnesses); the chime sound isn't round enough and is a bit abrasive in timbre
- Crotales
- Gong (PLEASE)
- Suspended/China cymbals with pre-recorded rolls and hits on different sizes (similar to what VDL does)
And as well, a nice function that could be EXTREMELY useful is the ability to upload samples into a score by mp3 or wav.

musescore college
wouldnt it be nice if musescore had a group devoted to educating members on music theory, arranging, orchestration...
yeah, I know that some high school classes use musescore for teaching music but that isnt exactly what I mean here. I mean a place totally here at musescore where members could make intelligent critical educated helpful comments about music.
there are certainly members who are very well educated in music who could help members out with their music, exchange helpful comments, a place where people could actually learn about music rather than the hit or miss experimentation alot of us do. I know I am just talking into the wind, but still, sigh.....oh well.....

From the American Postal Workers Union:
The Senate passed an amended version of the 21st Century Postal Service Act (S. 1789) on April 25 by a vote of 62-37. "Although the bill is flawed, the amended version is far better than the original," said APWU President Cliff Guffey. "That is a result of the tremendous effort of APWU members, postal customers, and elected officials who appreciate the importance of the Postal Service to American life. Thank you for your hard work."
The bill will provide the USPS, which is facing imminent collapse, with short-term financial relief, by returning $11 billion in USPS overpayments to federal pension funds to the Postal Service. "Keep in mind," Guffey said, "this is money paid by postal customers, workers and the Postal Service – not taxpayers."
The bill also will provide some protection for service standards for a minimum of three years. "Although we sought stronger, longer safeguards, this is an improvement over the original bill, which did nothing to preserve service," Guffey said. "Protecting service is essential to preserving the Postal Service," he said.
The bill fails to provide the Postal Service with the relief it needs to meet the challenges of the future, Guffey said. "Although the bill will provide the USPS with limited relief from the requirement to pre-fund healthcare benefits for future retirees, it does not provide sufficient relief. As a result, the USPS will not have access to the capital it needs to meet the challenges of the future," he said.
The bill also will have devastating consequences for the thousands of postal and federal employees who were injured on the job and who receive compensation from the Office of Workers Compensation Program (OWCP), Guffey noted.
"We will now take our fight to the House of Representatives," Guffey said, "where we hope to improve the bill.
"We call on our members, small businesses, individual customers, and lawmakers to re-double our efforts to Save America's Postal Service."

UPDATES:: Nov 11, 2019 || Okibi has gracefully left TDP's care to me (Revika) for the coming years. She, along with one or two others, will continue to maintain the technical background with making sure the site stays optimal. That aside, I will be here to update some coding, images and web pages as necessary from here on out. I look forward to the Renovation Project and hope you all will continue to be patient with me and the Renovation Team as we REALLY get things changing around now! 08-11-14 - Sofia and Seren's dæmons have been added to Give Me Your Soul. 02-22-13 - The Further Info section is finally back up! It's now 100 percent revamped to include pieces written by members of the forum. 02-22-13 - The FAQ is now organized into four categories, with some answers updated and the fluff taken out. Take a look! 04-26-10 - The Dæmon Art section has been revived at long last! You can find it under Submissions. 03-02-10 - The Lyrics section is finally back, and can now be found under Submissions. ^^ The new version is heavily revised from the one of old. I removed songs that seemed like too much of a stretch or that only my dæmon and I could relate to, as well as adding some newer ones. Take a look. 12-04-09 - Wow. It's been a year since the last update! Unfortunately it's a relatively minor one as well, although huge in terms of utility. That is to say - the Terminology section has finally been revamped thanks to the forum at large and especially Gienah for compiling it. More revisions are in the works. We're blowing the dust off. 12-07-08 - Site's fixed! Say goodbye to zie white background. 10-08-08 - Much of The Daemon Page is down, but we're working on fixing it. In the meantime, the new forums are at http://daemonpage.com/forum/ so if you can't get to the old ones, that's why. 5-05-08 - Two spankin' new reverse analyses! I seem to be on a roll lately with those. ^^ Also, the updated maned wolf analysis has been posted under Quick Analyses. 4-20-08 - Two more reverse analyses, along with a full length Tibetan mastiff analysis by Kate & Kael (which replaced the redundant tiger analysis on Page 3). Thanks, guys! 4-14-08 - Updated Reverse Analyses with a swift fox result. 4-13-08 - Oh boy, what haven't I updated? XD Lesse... Sections with new material include Give Me Your Soul, Quick Analyses, Reverse Analyses, Putting Things in Perspective, What They've Done, FAQ, Facts (#3), and the Store page. 3-04-08 - Updated Your Dæmons with Benj's information, as well as What They've Done and Your Definitions with Olivia's submissions. 2-17-08 - The 'Putting Things in Perspective' section has been updated on my end and is now public. (I couldn't bare to have it up when it still said my dad was a starling and my aunt a bunting. ^^;) Also, Steve and Haku's dæmons have been added to the page. 2-12-08 - Added four dæmons to the Your Dæmons section, as well as another instance of someone's dæmon taking an unknown form to Facts. Also, the old response to the slender mongoose analysis on page 2 was replaced, since the original replier ended up as a guinea pig. LATER: Added Mage's dæmon and updated Further Discussion (Forum) with an email message. 2-11-08 - Finally, after a long wait, the new Dæmon Page is up and running! I'm happy with the changes that have been made so far, but the work's not finished yet. Dæmon Lyrics will be redone and moved over, Movie Stars Have Souls Too will also be edited before being transferred, and of course the longer introduction needs some tinkering. But I'm just glad that I can finally display the new site. If you've only been checking the Envy.nu page for the past year, I'd like to direct your attention to the new quick analyses posted, as well as some updates to the FAQ.

Lebanon observed a day of national mourning yesterday for 47 people killed in powerful bombings outside two Sunni mosques in a city riven by strife over Syria's war.
The attack on Friday in the northern city of Tripoli — the deadliest in the country since its 1975 to 1990 civil war — drew strong condemnation from the international community.
Coming a week after a bombing in the Beirut bastion of Shiite movement Hezbollah, a close ally of Syrian President Bashar al-Assad, the bombings risk further stoking tensions between supporters and foes of the Syrian president.
The blasts hit during weekly Muslim prayers, in a city where Sunni supporters of Syria's rebels engage in frequent, often deadly, clashes with Alawites, who back the regime of al-Assad.
The first bomb struck in the city centre at the al-Salam mosque as worshippers were still inside.
CCTV footage aired on television showed people sitting on the floor when the explosion hit, and they scattered in panic.
The second explosion struck just minutes later outside al-Taqwa mosque, about 2km away, near the port.
A security source put the toll at 42 dead, while the Lebanese Red Cross said at least 500 people were wounded, many of them with serious burns and head injuries.
An AFP reporter saw a number of charred bodies near al-Taqwa and the bodies of five children brought out of it.
As huge clouds of black smoke billowed into the air, television broadcast footage of the dead, of buildings with their fronts blown in and vehicles ablaze.
Hundreds of furious people gathered outside the al-Taqwa mosque shouting curses at Hezbollah and the Syrian regime.
The powerful Shiite movement, whose militia have been fighting for months alongside al-Assad's troops, linked the Tripoli attacks to the one in Beirut on Aug. 15, which killed 22 people and injured more than 300.
It said they were part of a plan to "plunge Lebanon into chaos and destruction."
Former premier Saad Hariri, a Sunni and opponent of Hezbollah, said the "authors of dissension do not want Lebanon to live in peace for one minute; they want the killing machine to mow down the lives of innocents across Lebanon."
Hariri's father, former billionaire prime minister Rafiq Hariri, was assassinated in a 2005 car bombing in Beirut that also killed another 22 people which had been, until Friday, the worst attack since the civil war.
Lebanese Prime Minister Najib Mikati declared yesterday a day of national mourning.
Syrian information minister Omran al-Zohbi condemned this "cowardly terrorist attack on our brothers in Tripoli," in a statement echoed by Iran.
The US also condemned the attacks and lamented the "loss of innocent life."
In London, Parliamentary Undersecretary of State Alistair Burt condemned what he called the "abhorrent attacks," while French President Francois Hollande spoke of what he called "odious, cowardly attacks." UN Secretary-General Ban Ki-moon called on Lebanese to "exercise restraint, to remain united," while expressing hope "those responsible for such cowardly acts of violence will be brought to justice as soon as possible."
On Wednesday, army chief General Jean Kahwaji had said his forces were fighting a "total war" against terrorism whose aim is "to provoke sectarian strife" in Lebanon.
One Lebanese and two Palestinians suspected of preparing a car bomb attack were arrested days after the latest blast in Beirut, the General Security agency said.

Earth Observing System
Project DescriptionThe Earth Observing System (EOS) is the centerpiece of NASA's Earth
Science Enterprise (ESE). It consists of a science component and a
data system supporting a coordinated series of polar-orbiting and low
inclination satellites for long-term global observations of the land
surface, biosphere, solid Earth, atmosphere, and oceans. By enabling
improved understanding of the Earth as an integrated system, the EOS
program has benefits for us all. The EOS Project Science Office
(EOSPSO) is committed to helping bring program information and
resources to program scientists and the general public alike.
EOS Program Description:
Since its creation in 1958, NASA has been studying the Earth and its
changing environment by observing the atmosphere, oceans, land, ice,
and snow, and their influence on climate and weather. We now realize
that the key to gaining a better understanding of the global
environment is exploring how the Earth's systems of air, land, water,
and life interact with each other. This approach -- called Earth
System Science -- blends together fields like meteorology,
oceanography, biology, and atmospheric science.
In 1991, NASA launched a more comprehensive program to study the Earth
as an environmental system, now called the Earth Science
Enterprise. By using satellites and other tools to intensively study
the Earth, we hope to expand our understanding of how natural
processes affect us, and how we might be affecting them. Such studies
will yield improved weather forecasts, tools for managing agriculture
and forests, information for fishermen and local planners, and,
eventually, the ability to predict how the climate will change in the
The Earth Science Enterprise has three main components: a series of
Earth-observing satellites, an advanced data system, and teams of
scientists who will study the data. Key areas of study include clouds;
water and energy cycles; oceans; chemistry of the atmosphere; land
surface; water and ecosystem processes; glaciers and polar ice sheets;
and the solid Earth.
Phase I of the Earth Science Enterprise had been comprised of focused,
free-flying satellites, Space Shuttle missions, and various airborne
and ground-based studies. Phase II began in December of 1999 with the
launch of the first Earth Observing System (EOS) satellite, Terra
(formerly AM-1) and Landsat 7. EOS is the first observing system to
offer integrated measurements of the Earth's processes. It consists of
a science component and a data system supporting a coordinated series
of polar-orbiting and low-inclination satellites for long-term global
observations of the land surface, biosphere, solid Earth, atmosphere,
and oceans. We have initiated an era of unprecedented observational
capability for understanding the planet.
Just as the first weather and communications satellites fundamentally
changed our way of thinking about those fields, so the elements of the
Earth Science Enterprise will expand our perspective of the global
environment and climate. Working together with our partners around the
world, we are well on our way to improving our knowledge of the Earth
and using that knowledge to the benefit of all humanity.

An Ancestry press release on this database is at:
Ancestry.co.uk posted this status message on Facebook earlier today: "Tune into BBC Radio York (103.7) at 11.40am to hear Tony Robinson talking about our new London Parish records, online today for the first time ever." It would indeed be helpful if they explained what the new element is.
It looks like they have indexed "All London, England, Baptisms, Marriages and Burials, 1538-1812", which previously were unindexed but available for browsing. Wow, what a fantastic new resource!
I emailed Ancestry many months ago with the same concern. Although the databases are labelled "updated", they do not say what information has been added and we therefore must choose whether or not to spend time searching or browsing through it again and again. Their response was that concerns are dealt with on the basis that the issue with the most complaints gets dealt with first.

[Intro: 50 Cent]
What y'all know about this fab shit, huh?
TE, baby, come on, Trackmasters
[Verse 1: 50 Cent]
Look we can shop together, mama, his and hers
Fifth Ave. shit, baby, Fendi furs
I ain't tight with the chips, girl, I'm down to splurge
If it's ice you like I'll light up your life
VS2 Clarity, aight?
I play the block, I ain't the type to punch a clock
I'm the type to put the pedal to the floor in the drop
I live life in the fast lane, I mix dro wit hash
Hustle hard for cash so I can spoil that ass
It's like she loves me, she loves me not
Cause her friends pump her head full of bullshit a lot
I gave her jewels that I caught of a jux
Chanel bags I bought from boosters
To the hood I introduced her
She feisty, every now and then she wanna fight me
People saying if I get knocked she ain't gon' write me
The sick part is all that bullshit excites me
[Hook: Destiny's Child]
A thug's what I want, a thug's what I need
Even though my friends don't seem to see
That he lace me with money
He knows when I want it
And I'm never gonna leave my baby
My thugged out no good baby
[Verse 2: 50 Cent]
Ayo, I treat you like you need to be treated like you're special
Tie your hands to the bedpost when I caress you
When I met you it was Guess and Gap, now it's Gucci and Prada
Took you from being a nine to being a dime
You complain that we don't spend time
When I'm OT on the grind going hard for mine
Yo, when shorty say she hate me you know she mean she love me
When she play me close at the bar that mean she want some Bubbly
See my polying with another chick and shit get ugly
She wanna flip, threaten to run keys across my whip
Try to burn a nigga with some hominy grits
That's how she on it, when I met her she was lowkey
Now she wanna OD
You know me, I let her do her thing, son
I say what I'm feeling, niggas say that I'm illing
I sip Cristy so I'm pissy like a staircase in your building
[Outro: Beyonce]
A thug is what I want and a thug is what I need
And my friends don't understand how my baby laces me
A thug is what I want and a thug is what I need
And my friends don't understand and I think it's jealousy
Originally the second single leading up to the release of 50 Cent's debut album "Power of the Dollar" back in 2000.
Only three days before the filming of the music video with Destiny's Child, 50 Cent was involved in the well known shooting that left him wounded from 9 shots. Plans for his mainstream push were immediately scrapped and 50 was blacklisted in the rap industry.

If you've ever known the literal sting of a notebook overheating in your lap, it may be time to invest in a notebook cooler like the StarTech USB Powered Laptop Cooler (NBCOOLERSE), which can help prevent unwanted temperature rises. It doesn't cool quite as effectively as the competition, or pack as many USB ports, but it's a portable, affordably priced notebook cooler that gets the job done.
Design and Aesthetics
Measuring 12.5 x 6.3 x 1.2 inches and weighing a featherweight 0.8 pounds, the StarTech Laptop Cooler is roughly the same size and weight as the 1.0-pound, 12.0 x 7.1 x 1.1-inch iHome IH-A706CW ($29.99), but noticeably smaller than the 1.8-pound, 13.6 x 11.8 x 2.0-inch Zalman Cool Innovations ZM-NC1500 ($39.90). Unlike the others, the black Laptop Cooler has a curved, arched design that keeps your notebook at a nice typing angle without the need for legs, as it sits under the back of a system. Its rubber bumpers allowed us to center a 15.6-inch Acer Aspire 5738PG on top with ease.
Like the ZM-NC1500, the Laptop Cooler features just two USB ports, one of which is used to connect the cooler to a notebook. If you're looking for more ports, the iHome IH-A706CW offers three additional USB ports for attaching other peripherals. We also didn't like its flimsy vents, which bent with just a minimum amount of pressure.
Cooling Performance
To test the Laptop Cooler's ability to prevent overheating, we measured the heat radiating from the Aspire 5738PG with a temperature gun in several heat-prone areas immediately after powering it on: the bottom (dead center), the touchpad, the lid, and between the G and H keys. We saw readings of 82.0, 78.0, 76.5, and 79.5 degrees Fahrenheit, respectively. We then fired up a digital copy of Smokin' Aces and let it play for 15 minutes with the notebook's brightness and volume at 50 percent. Afterward, we measured temperatures of 97.0, 87.0, 78.0, and 91.5 degrees.
We let the notebook cool down for 45 minutes, and then once again fired up Smokin' Aces with the Laptop Cooler turned on. This time, the notebook measured 89.0, 86.0, 78.0, and 90.5 degrees, which was in the same ballpark as the iHome IH-A706CW (89.5, 87.0, 78.0, and 90.5 degrees), but better than a passive cooler (93.0, 87.0, 78.5, and 91.0 degrees).
On the bottom of the notebook—the place where you'd want a laptop to run coolest—the Laptop Cooler ran 2.0 degrees hotter than the Zalman Cool Innovations ZM-NC1500 (87.0 degrees). Overall, the temperature of our system increased by 6.9 degrees, which is better than the iHome IH-A706CW (7.3 degrees) and the passive cooling device (8.4 degrees), but not as good as the ZM-NC1500 (6.3 degrees).
After letting the notebook cool down to its base temperature, we converted a 115MB MPEG-4 file to AVI while compressing a 4.97GB folder of mixed media. We saw an average increase of 5.8 degrees; that's less than the 8.0-degree difference of the notebook running alone, but it's much higher than the IH-A706CW and the ZM-NC1500, both of which kept the temperature increase to 4.4 degrees.
Priced at $24.99, the StarTech USB Powered Laptop Cooler (NBCOOLERSE) costs less than the iHome IH-A706CW ($29.99) and the Zalman ZM-NC1500 ($39.90), but we recommend the former over this accessory because of its extra USB ports, and the latter because of its sturdier design. Still, if you dig the Laptop Cooler's small footprint and glossy shell, it's a solid pick.

Sustainable Growth = Protective Stupidity.
PowerLess New Zealand Media Release
16 September 2004, Wellington
Sustainable Growth = Protective Stupidity.
The first and simplest stage in the discipline, which can be taught even to young children, is called, in Newspeak, crimestop. Crimestop means the faculty of stopping short, as though by instinct, at the threshold of any dangerous thought. It includes the power of not grasping analogies, of failing to perceive logical errors, of misunderstanding the simplest arguments if they are inimical to Ingsoc, and of being bored or repelled by any train of thought which is capable of leading in a heretical direction. Crimestop, in short, means protective stupidity.
George Orwell, 1984
A New Zealand group calling themselves the Sustainable Business Network (SBN) issued a press release this week arguing that business that brings sustainable economic and social growth is good business. "We think business can be cool" SBN say "only if it's practiced on our terms". (Link to http://www.scoop.co.nz/mason/stories/BU0409/S00175.htm)
Scattered with oxymoronic clichés such as "eco-economy" and "sustainable growth" the SBN's literature clearly indicate they wish they were still living in the golden age of the 1990s.
Economic growth is an anathema to sustainability. An impossibility theorem, economic growth is the imagined perpetual motion machine of business. The SBN expect it seems that we might economically grow our way out of resource depletion, poverty and environmental degradation.
The problem with their formula is that it ignores the finite nature of the eco-system within which we must exist and of which the economy is a subset of. The term "sustainable growth" and its pitiable cousin "sustainable development" are nothing more than incoherent delusions informed by contemporary free market dogma that says that endless substitution and growth holds some ultimate high moral goodness and is unlimited.
Of course the questioning of such dogma by groups like the SBN engages the protective stupidity organ. There is no opportunity to logically examine their own incongruity, SBN stop short of asking themselves the necessary questions.
The irony that SBN (amongst others) have missed is that it is precisely the un-sustainability of economic growth that gives rise to the term sustainable development. Economic growth ultimately relies upon increasing consumption and demand for non-renewable natural resources. Increased demand involves depleting the resource at a quicker rate. The problem of a depleting non-renewable natural resource (such as oil or natural gas) is not solved by depleting that resource at a quicker rate.
In New Zealand we have invested and continue to invest billions in a car-culture infrastructure (this includes suburban development) that has no future. World oil production in all likelihood will peak later this decade.
Once this occurs global oil production will move into the depletion arc. Forever. In a time when the cheap abundant oil literally powering our economy is about to disappear forever, building energy efficient homes, for example, an hour's drive from the CBD is still called "sustainable development". This represents a gross myopia by all supporters of such development.
To deceive ourselves into believing that growth is still possible by labelling it "sustainable" or "green" serves only to delay, and subsequently increase the severity of the consequences of peak oil.
We contacted the SBN (several times) for an explanation of the term "sustainable growth" and did not receive a reply.
PowerLess NZ challenge the Sustainable Business Network to unpack exactly what "sustainable economic and social growth" can be in light of the fact that we live on the precipice of permanent and irrecoverable decline of oil and natural gas reserves. We would dearly like to know how non-renewable natural resources could be exploited in a sustainable way for the benefit of all New Zealanders.
Powerless NZ 16 September 2004
PowerLess NZ is a growing group of scientists, energy analysts and concerned citizens whose principle objectives are to alert both Government and the general public to New Zealand's looming energy crisis. Our aim is to support development of renewable energy resources at both a private and public level, as well as encourage a firm move away from dependence upon fossil fuels.

As one of Europe's largest shopping centres, the Dolce Vita Tejo covers more than 100,000 square metres (1.1 million square feet), with two spacious areas dedicated to food outlets and entertainment.
The centre, which opened in May 2009 near Lisbon, offers around 300 stores and parking facilities for 9,000 vehicles.
Situated in the municipality of Amadora, the Dolce Vita Tejo boasts the biggest indoor square in Europe, similar in size to Lisbon's Restauradores Square.
The situation
When selecting the pumping systems for the shopping centre, the facility's main priorities were to guarantee the highest possible levels of comfort and energy efficiency. It was for this reason that Grundfos was selected as one of the suppliers, since the equipment Grundfos presented offered the best value for money, explains Bruno Rodrigues of Pinto & Cruz, part of the group TEJO-J.J.Tomé-Sousa Pedro-Pinto & Cruz, ACE, the organisation responsible for the special water, electricity, air conditioning and security facilities.
The Grundfos solutions installed in the Dolce Vita Tejo serve a range of areas and needs: HVAC (heating, ventilation and air conditioning), water supply, fire and wastewater.
"The aim is to distribute water throughout the building while complying with the design and regulatory requirements, as well as to guarantee users a service with the necessary levels of quality and comfort," says Bruno Rodrigues.
The solution
After five years in operation, the Grundfos solutions have satisfied Dolce Vita Tejo's facilities management.
"We have a very clear idea of what we want from our main pumps: extreme reliability and a high hydraulic efficiency. We are very satisfied with the performance of all Grundfos equipment," says Nelson Constantino, Facilities Manager of Dolce Vita Tejo. "Remote management is also very important, because if a problem happens, we know it right away and we can act immediately."
"We have a system whose strengths include energy savings due to the use of variable speed equipment, where performance adapts to the needs," he adds. "We must not forget Grundfos' extensive experience in this field, the high quality of the equipment and the specialist technical team, who are able to respond to any situation," he adds.
The result
"To date, the drinking water supply pumps, ground water supply for the cooling towers and the irrigation system have worked extremely well, without any fault or evidence of performance defects during their intended use," he says. "Fortunately we have not been forced to test the fire safety system in practice, but we have conducted trial runs with excellent results. In general, the equipment supplied by Grundfos has proven to be sturdy and of a high quality, as well as extremely reliable."
Vitor Sancho, Technical Manager of ACE Tejo, adds, "Grundfos' products have offered the best performance, due to their energetic efficiency and high quality. We don't have any complaints."
Grundfos supplied
Grundfos supplied a wide range of pumps and systems to Dolce Vita Tejo, including TP the TPED for heating and cooling, SE1 submersible pumps for wastewater, HYDRO MPC boosters for water supply and pumps for fire safety systems. Please visit our Commercial Buildings pages for more information.

Scientists use bacteria to power simple machines
Organisms turn microgears in suspended solution by swimming
A scientist from Princeton University, working with researchers from the U.S. Department of Energy's (DOE) Argonne National Laboratory and Northwestern University, has discovered that common bacteria can turn microgears when suspended in a solution, providing insights for design of bio-inspired dynamically adaptive materials for energy.
"On the fundamental level, our work demonstrates that mechanical energy can be extracted from
the random motion of self-propelled particles under certain conditions," said Andrey Sokolov, a postdoctoral research associate in Princeton's Department of Ecology and Evolutionary Biology.
A paper on this research was published in the Dec. 14 Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences.
The microgears with slanted spokes were placed in the solution along with the common aerobic bacteria, Bacillus subtilis. Sokolov, along with Igor Aronson from Argonne and Bartosz Grzybowski and Mario Apodaca from Northwestern, discovered that the bacteria appear to swim around the solution randomly, but occasionally the organisms will collide with the spokes of the gear and begin turning it in a definite direction.
"The gears are a million times more massive than the bacteria," said Aronson, who was the principal investigator. "The ability to harness and control the power of bacterial motions is an important requirement for further development of hybrid biomechanical systems driven by microorganisms."
A few hundred bacteria work together in order to turn the gear. When multiple gears are placed in the solution with the spokes connected like in a clock, the bacteria will begin turning both gears in opposite directions and it will cause the gears to rotate in synchrony for a long time.
"The power produced by each gear of a diameter of about 400 microns and thickness of 50 microns is of the order of a femtowatt -- too small to power any macroscopic machine," Sokolov said. "But we believe that this technique will be useful for micromanipulation of submillimeter objects or operating the movable parts of microfluidic devices."
Aronson added, "Our discovery demonstrates how microscopic swimming agents, such as bacteria or man-made nanorobots, in combination with hard materials can constitute a 'smart material' which can dynamically alter its microstructures, repair damage or power microdevices."
The speed at which the gears turn can also be controlled through the manipulation of oxygen in the suspended liquid. The bacteria need oxygen in order to swim and, by decreasing the amount of oxygen available, they will begin to slow down. By eliminating the oxygen, the bacteria go into a type of "sleep" and stop moving. Once the oxygen is reintroduced into the system, the bacteria "wake up" and begin swimming once again.
The research was supported by the DOE Office of Science, with work at Northwestern supported as part of the Non-equilibrium Energy Research Center, an Energy Frontier Research Center also funded by the DOE Office of Science.

So, sorry, no bursting-at-the-cups Ivy from SCIV in this one, just good ol' 2D renders, and maybe some cabinet art. The list features Marian from Double Dragon (seriously, they punched her in the stomach at the beginning of Double Dragon. And no one batted an eye!) Carmen Sandiego and Meryl Silverburgh from MGS. But leading off is Pauline from Donkey Kong, who's dressed like she belongs in a polygamist cult. Pauline was sort of the George Lazenby of the Mario franchise.

Adding Processors and Other Upgrades to a Ford F-150
Our Car Stereo Proving Ground Series, Part 3
What do you get at each step of building a car audio system?
Jeff, Crutchfield's Senior Car Merchandiser, devised a plan: to test the sound of an aftermarket system one component at a time in order to prove how much better it sounds than factory. He wanted to test each configuration for sound quality and loudness, then evaluate the soundstage. We started with the factory system of Jeff's 2004 Ford F-150, then upgraded to an Alpine receiver and a set of Polk speakers. We ran tests after installing each component to note improvements in the sound.
In Part 3, we'll upgrade the speakers, run 12-gauge wire, and install a processor to act as the brains of the system.
Watch our Part 3 video to see Jeff in action.
Part 3: Making it sound perfect
With a quality receiver, amps, subs, and a new set of speakers in place, it was time to do some serious fine-tuning on Jeff's F-150. Our "to-do list" for Part 3 looked like this:
- upgrading the speakers to high-end components
- upgrading from 16-gauge wire to 12-gauge
- bi-amping the component speakers
- adding a processor to run the show and fine-tune
|Jeff cut a custom-sized piece of plastic to fill the oval factory speaker opening. You can download his template if you'd like to add a 6-3/4" round speaker to your F-150.
Separating the woofer and tweeter with components
Coaxial speakers, with the woofer and tweeter together, sounded pretty good in Jeff's truck. But for the best possible sound, he needed a component system. By separating the woofers and tweeters, Focal component speakers raises the tweeter closer to ear level, where the highs ought to be.
To Jeff, the Focal Utopia Be 165W-RC component speakers are "the best-sounding pair of speakers I've heard for the dollar." He's heard a few in his day, so that's high praise. Only trouble is, the Focals feature 6¾" round woofers, which had to fit in the F-150's 5"x7" opening. So Jeff made a template and cut a piece of ABS plastic to fit, then screwed the round speakers to it. He cut little notches on the top and bottom of the opening to accommodate the round speaker. It took a little work, but Jeff had the speakers he wanted.
Focal Utopia Be® 165W-RC component speakers
Jeff knew he needed speakers capable of reproducing the subtle details he wanted to hear, so he went straight to the Focal Utopia line and its legendary beryllium tweeter. This tweeter plays so naturally, it's as if the vocalist is right there in the car with you.
Higher-quality speaker wire: maximizing signal flow from the amplifiers
Up to this point, Jeff had been using the 16-gauge, factory-installed speaker wire. He upgraded to larger 12-gauge wire in order to send more signal to his speakers. To a car manufacturer, speaker wire is one of thousands of decisions made to hold costs down, whereas aftermarket companies simply make the best wire they can. With larger, better-designed, better-insulated wire going from his amps to his subs, Jeff expected a stronger, cleaner signal to eventually reach his ears.
|Bi-amping effectively doubles the power sent to the front speakers by sending two channels of power to the woofers and the other two to the tweeters.
Bi-amping the front speakers
Jeff bypassed the component speakers' crossover system and bi-amped them — sending two channels of power to the tweeters, and two to the midrange drivers. This effectively doubled the power sent to the speakers, and increased the headroom in Jeff's system.
A component system's crossovers contain protection circuitry for the mids and tweeters, which makes bi-amping tricky business if they're not specifically designed with the extra inputs to accommodate it. Here, Jeff took the crossovers out, but there's a processor strictly controlling the range and intensity of frequencies sent to the tweeters (as shown in the diagram). While some crossovers allow for bi-amping, Jeff cautions that if you bi-amp without a processor, you run a greater risk of damaging your tweeters.
The processor: fine-tuning to perfection
Alpine's PXA-H800 gave Jeff the complete tuning tool he needed to get the great sound he was after. He tuned his system by adjusting the processor's 31-band EQ for each individual channel, and by applying time correction. He used the remote to address each frequency and meticulously dialed in the levels until the sound curve smoothed out.
But it's not just about achieving a perfect curve — it's also about how the system sounds and makes him feel. Jeff can set up his system in different ways, store the settings as presets, and recall them instantly to hear which one suits him best.
Alpine digital processor and controller
The PXA-H800 processor takes the output from Jeff's receiver, cleans it up, and sends it to his amplifiers. It also gives him a full suite of digital features for fine-tuning his system.
Putting all the processing power within reach is the RUX-C800 controller, which Jeff mounted in his dash. He left enough cable so he can pull it out of its installed location and access the settings easily.
Checking the sound curve: without the processor
In the graph below, we're using the 7-band parametric EQ in the Alpine receiver, plus the Focal crossover network, to tweak the sound. Remember, the RTA is merely a snapshot of what's going on, so you shouldn't read too deeply into the individual peaks and valleys here. The overall curve is tracking pretty closely with Jeff's ideal.
With the processor
A picture is worth a thousand words. As you can see below, the RTA snapshot looks a lot like Jeff's ideal now. He's leaving a tiny bit of bass on the table, a compromise because he didn't want to give up any seating to add extra subs. After all, he wants to save room for passengers so they can hear how great his truck sounds.
The Soundstage
Jeff's decision to bi-amp the component speakers, combined with the tweaking power and time correction of the PXA-H800 processor, got the soundstage just where he wanted it. Now Jeff can picture the band playing out on the hood, right at ear level. The time correction makes sure the image shifts enough to put him front and center.
The soundstage is the most important thing in the whole system buildup — it's what Jeff actually hears, how he experiences what he's worked so hard to create.
"I feel like I'm really listening to music," he said. "All the instruments have their own space."
What did we learn during this round of testing?
First of all, the Focal Utopia speakers totally rock. They sound incredible, especially the amazing beryllium tweeter. Every snare hit, tambourine, and other high detail comes in crystal-clear.
Bi-amping, while probably overkill for most of us, was a key to Jeff's plan. It gave him a ton more headroom to work with. Alpine's PXA-H800 processor did the rest, letting Jeff "EQ the heck out of it" and giving him pinpoint control over every channel. Bottom line: this system sounds crazy good.
Jeff's fond of saying that he likes to remove the electronics from the equation — meaning all that's left is music, as pristine as it was recorded. He definitely accomplished that in his truck.
What's up next?
In Part 4, we'll address the various vibrations and rattles in Jeff's truck by installing Dynamat sound damping material. We'll test incrementally to note any changes in SPL and the sound curve, both while the truck is parked and while driving at different speeds over different surfaces. Normally. you'd install Dynamat while you're doing everything else, but we want to quantify the difference Dynamat can make in a vehicle.

Part 2 gives you an in-depth look at adding amps, subs, and upgrading the speakers.

Judy, thanks for the book recommendations. I will research those titles today. Both sound like great resources! I have trained with Julie a time or two and have helped her put on our club's yearly HT in August.
I saw that you are judging the Potland FT in May with Judy R.! That has inspired me to travel up and enter the Derby so that I can see both of you in action and get to meet you! Hopefully it will all come together. Husband has a conference in Napa that same weekend and is trying to convince me into going. It will be a bit of an arm wrestling match.
Thanks again for your thoughts and recommendations! Can't wait to get my Gertrude F books in the mail any day now!
Judy, Once again thank you for your thorough and timely reporting. You do a fantastic job!

Nandrolona D 200 - Decandrol
Substance: Nandrolone Decanoate
Manufacturer: Balkan Pharmaceuticals
Packing: 5 x 1ml vial (200mg/ml)
Nandrolona D 20% by Balkan Pharmaceuticals is a steroid injection which contains 200mg per ML of the hormone Nandrolone Decanoate, and it is available in a 1ml ampoule.
The Decanoate ester makes the hormone release process very slow. Most bodybuilders frequently notice that a routine of 2 times a week of injecting Deca Durabolin is more than enough for maintaining the blood levels really steady. This hormone is a poor option for tested bodybuilders and athletes, because this anabolic steroids persist a long period in the blood system.
Athletes and bodybuilders who are thinking on using Nandrolone, but would like to get it out of the system faster, than it would be a better choice to use Nandrolone Phenylpropionate ( Durabolin). Usually named Deca, Nandrolona D 20% is very popular between athletes and bodybuilders in our days.
Deca Durabolin is a strong anabolic steroid, but with low androgenic effects. It produce aromatization only at high and excessive dosages.
Some of the users reported a high rate of progesterone deposits, this thing being one of deca's major side effects. If you experience such issues, than you can add to your cycle some Cabaser.
Similar to Equipoise, Nandrolona D 20% can be used in both "bulking" and "cutting" cycles, with good results.
Most of bodybuilders prefer to stack it in their bulking cycle, with different esters of Testosterone. Stacking Deca Durabolin with Winstrol is very welcomed too by lots of athletes. Winstrol is very effective in stoping the progesterone deposits, and Nandrolona D 20% lubricates the joints while using Winstrol, so that's the main reason lots of bodybuilders love stacking Deca with Winstrol.
Androgenic side effects usually don't occur while using Deca if the doses are maintained at an advised range. Some bodybuilders who was on a only Nandrolona D 20% cycle reported a noticeable decrease of libido, so it is strongly recommended to use a little dose of some Testosterone, or some Proviron (Mesterolone) for preventing such side effects.
Female bodybuilders love using Deca Durabolin, because it does not produce any masculizing side effects, and due to it's mild nature.
Average dose for men: 400 - 600 mg per week(8 - 12 weeks)
Average dose for women: 50 - 100 mg per week

Safe Stretching Guide
As we age, the flexibility of our connective tissues-the ligaments, tendons, cartilage and muscle all decrease. This is inevitable. Yet research indicates that by performing regular flexibility work, we can increase our range of motion by as much as 20-30 percent at any age.
Taking steroids causes intense changes in the hormonal balance of the body. Although the desired effects can be positive for muscle building and fat-loss, there are many negative side effects that can, and will, occur. After a steroid cycle, users should prepare to combat the unwanted effects by planning what is called a Post-Cycle-Therapy.
Human growth hormone
It has been said that homeopathic sprays are safer than HGH injections and hgh side effects are also minimal. Despite this comparison, we will never entice you to go for the other product. We will serve as your guides in your decision to have an HGH therapy, human growth hormone releaser or treatment.

Prince of Thieves
A convoy is a horse-drawn carriage that is guarded by some soldiers and a drummer. They can only be found in the Frontier area. There are fixed spawn points for them, but they can also appear randomly at any daytime and weather condition. One of these convoys has a 50% spawn chance in front of the Templar Fort that is located in the south-western corner of the map. There is a harbor nearby that can be used as a fast travel station. If the convoy doesn't spawn you can travel to another map and return later.
To actually loot the convoy without killing anyone you just have to use your fists instead of lethal weapons. This will knock your enemies out and not kill them. You can also use smoke bombs to stun the soldiers and finish them more quickly. Once all guards are defeated you have to interact with the back of the carriage for some nice loot. This technique can also be used to farm money quickly!
Note: Doing double-counters and using human shields will result in you not getting this achievement, as the latter guarantees the death of the guard used in the process, while the double-counter (despite Connor being unarmed when you initiate it unarmed), can result in him taking a guard's weapon and using it on both guards, killing them (other times it'll be simple hand-to-hand but it still isn't advised).
