Phase 1: Frogger Nightmare
The keys: don't touch any of the gas clouds that circle the room in all directions, and don't be near the adds when they die if you can't take the explosion. Touching a cloud will trigger an add to spawn out of that cloud, in addition to the normal spawns that increasingly occur as Sara grows lower in health. Magic-cleansers need to be dispelling the Dominate Mind debuff. The goal of this phase is to explode adds on Sara to reduce her to 0% HP.
- Note: add the debuffs "Sara's Blessing" and "Sara's Anger" to your Grid frames. You can't cleanse it, but it's good to know who's gotthese debuffs so you can keep HoTs on them while they're eating the damage.
- The Clique addon currently has a bug that will prevent its user from dispelling the dominate mind debuff. If you are a priest/pally, disable this addon for this boss, until the bug is fixed.
- A great view of the cloud patterns can be seen in this youtube video (CLICK).
We tried several strats, attempting a "raid is by the door" strat, a general chaos scatter strat with two tanks, and a middle-tanking strat with two tanks, but each of those always resulted in someone dieing from range, or too many adds would get spawned and overrun the raid. Overruns tend to go like this:
- Someone(s) touch a cloud and spawn more adds.
- More adds = more mind controls.
- Mind controls run into clouds and get dispelled while in/near the clouds and spawn more adds.
- Tanks focus on picking up the extra adds rather than getting any killed, to rescue healers.
- Adds use a dark volley that aoe's the raid and puts a 10-second debuff on everyone hit that reduces the healing done to them.
- We wipe in a chaotic spiral of death.
The first time we attempted this one-tank strat, we got to phase 2. There was much rejoicing.
Macro this and use for an achievement at the transition from P1 to P2, when Sara goes from being a green friendly to a red hostile:
|/tar Sara
Phase 2: Love Your Cleanse Button
The keys: have speedy cleanses, keep a close eye on your sanity debuff, move with your tank, don't touch the green Wrath-graphic eyebeams, and stand near whoever you have a brain-link with.
This is the first phase where there is a high chance that a player might go insane and thus loose complete control of their character. Even battle-ressing them will not save them. EVERYONE needs to watch their sanity debuffs and renew them as often as possible by standing in the happy green Sanity Well beams of light that Freya casts to help the raid. Don't let yourself get too low, or a chain series of unfortunate sanity losses may make you loose yourself.
"Outside Group:"
Things get chaotic in this phase, and you should probably have a raid icon marking your topside MT so that the topside (or outside) group can stay together while running around killing the giant crusher tentacles. You do not want people splitting up in this room, or fate will giggle at them and brain link people too far away to reach each other before they die.
- The brain link does 3k damage + 2% sanity loss per second to both afflicted players if they are more than 20yds apart. You can tell the "safe distance" by the color of the beam: it is red if you're too far apart, and yellow if you are safe. It is possible to be brain-linked to yourself: in which case, don't leave yourself behind ;) It is okay to enter a portal with a brain link, because entering the portal will break the link safely.
- CLEANSE!! There are poisons, curses, diseases, and magic debuffs all being thrown around the raid like a giant tossed salad of doom. These are cast by the corrupter tentacles. The more corrupter tentacles, the more debuffs on the raid. Cleanse as much as you can, as they stack and generally make you think that you, as a player, are going insane when they start to overwhelm the raid. Ranged DPS should be taking these corrupters out as you move around the room, but only as a third priority.
- There's an occasional single-target fear effect that will last about 4 seconds; it is contagious, so move away from feared players so you don't catch it when their fear wears off.
- Crusher tentacles are the MT's target. They're big and you shouldn't stand next to them as a healer, in case they decide to take a swipe at you. The more attacks done to them, the faster and harder-hitting they get: thus, if they get too strong, the group should move out of melee range of them and wait for the Focused Anger buffs to reset (like the Snaplashers from Freya). These are the major priority to get down, because they reduce raid-wide damage (even those inside the portals) by 20% for every crusher tentacle up.
- Constrictor Tentacles can and will pop out of the ground and grab someone, waving them around in the air while damaging them for about 6800 damage per second. You can heal through it with a heavy hand of hots, but you should alert your dps to rescue you if you're grabbed, so that you can continue moving freely with the group and save mana/GCDs. These are the dps' secondary kill priority, outside of Yogg's Mind.
"Inside Group:"
The group tagged for combat in the Mind's Eye must jump into individual portals that spawn abut every 90 seconds around the room to enter Yogg's mind and combat the Influence Tentacles and Yogg's brain therein. We had an enhance shammy in there helping top off heals, since the portal group didn't have much time outside before they had to hop back in, and most of that was spent in the sanity wells. Those that enter the mind's eye have the strongest chance of going insane, since there are laughing skulls down there that drive you insane just facing them.
- Avoid facing the laughing skulls inside Yogg's Mind, as they will rapidly deteriorate your sanity. Facing away from them prevents the sanity loss.
- Yogg will also cast Induce Madness that will cause anyone still in the Mind's Eye to automatically go insane; you are safe from this if you are outside of his mind. You need strong dps in there, since they are the ones that will bring you into Phase 3, by bringing Yogg's brain to 30%.
- #1 priority when exiting Yogg's Mind is to restore sanity in the Sanity Wells.
Phase 3: In Progress
We've only seen this phase a couple of times so far, enough to know that there are more adds that must be dps'd down quickly, and that all healers should just face a wall to keep from loosing sanity looking at the laughing skulls :)
Any further advice would be appreciated! We've been combing the strategy guides for tips, but most of them are just for 25-mans. My favorite of the video guides among the 25-mans is StratFu's 2-part instructional video by Kyth of Fusion.

SKF and Betamotor
In the '70s, with the emergence of the off-road sector, Beta began to specialise more and more in the production of off-road vehicles. This specialisation has always been accompanied by a matching commitment in the area of competition, the test-bench for excellence in the production of Beta motorcycles - initially in motocross and enduro and later in trials, during the early '80s. Beta's close involvement with motorcycle sport has been marked over the years by a series of successes. There were the early victories in motocross in the late '70s and early '80s, followed more recently by the four World Trials Championships won by Jordi Tarres and the three consecutive world titles awarded to Dougie Lampkin (1997-9). Then there were the six Indoor World Championships, including the one which Albert Cabestany won in 2002, and finally five European titles. And over 100 National Championships have been won all over the World by Trial Beta motorcycles in the last years.
In 2004, the Beta marque returned to four-stroke enduro with a major investment both in product development and in its presence on the competition track. In this new field, Beta remains faithful to its mission, that is to inspire in motorcyclists a natural and instinctive riding style. Highly technical and sports-oriented the DNA of its bikes may be, but they still need to transmit optimum feel and deliver maximum fun.
Out of every 100 bikes manufactured, over 70 are distributed abroad and the remaining 30 in Italy. The marketing network runs direct sales operations in Italy, France, Germany, Benelux and Austria, and works through importers in the rest of the world.

I receive a lot of contacts from gus all over the world. However, I am 60 and looking for someone in my age range, also in my area preferably. Most of these guys are in their 40s, mostly between 43-47. Get a few in their 30s and sometimes 20s. I don't get it. What is the attraction for these guys. Can any of you explain it?

Well first,
I'd like to say that you are a very lovely woman! I can imagine many men wanting to have a chance at getting to know you.
With that being said, there are a lot of men who prefer older women as it could just be their preference physically. Another reason could be due to the confidence that older women have, being exposed to more in life, more calm and rational. Not allowing small hiccups to become large snags as well as being more comfortable in who they are themselves.
It could be a longing for a mothering touch. Unfortunately, there are users out there, so in some cases, they could be thinking that they've found a sugar momma.
In which ever case, whether your contacts are much younger or older than your target age group, receiving attention is always nice. You know you're dangling the right bait!

OnLive has a good idea: stream games over the internet rather than make you buy a Crysis-capable PC/Mac. And when we checked out OnLive streaming Bioshock a few months back, we were impressed. Now you can check it out, too.
Testable in an invite-only beta, you can register to potentially try OnLive here. And even if your internet connection isn't top-notch, it may be worth a shot anyway. OnLive is clearly trying to tune their service to all service speeds, as they'll want to know your connection type, speed and ISP.
And if any of our commenters have gotten in the beta early, let us know what you think so far. [OnLive via Kotaku]

Taco Cupcakes Recipe - the original recipe! Taco meat, black beans, and cheese baked in wonton wrappers in a muffin pan. Top with your favorite taco toppings. Kids (and adults) love these! Great for lunch, dinner or parties!!
I kept this pretty simple. I used my basic taco meat recipe and just added some black beans. You could add some green peppers or olives if you really wanted to jazz it up. We topped the cupcakes with some homemade salsa and sour cream. I didn't have any lettuce or I would had added lettuce on top too. We served the cupcakes along side our favorite Mexican Rice. This was a great twist on regular tacos. We both loved it!
Taco Cupcakes
- 1 lb ground beef
- 1 (1-oz) packet taco seasoning
- 2/3 cup water
- 1 can black beans, drained
- 2 cups cheddar cheese, shredded
- 36 wonton wrappers
- your favorite taco toppings - salsa, cheese, sour cream, lettuce, tomatoes, etc
- cooking spray
- Preheat oven to 375ºF.
- Brown the meat in a skillet and drain off fat (I use a collander). Return the meat to the skillet; add the taco seasoning, water and black beans. Mix and simmer for 5-10 minutes, until water is absorbed.
- Spray 18 regular muffin pan cups with cooking spray. Place one wonton wrapper in each muffin cup. Divide half of the taco meat between muffin cups. Sprinkle half of the cheese over the cupcakes. Repeat layers - wonton, taco meat and cheese.
- Bake for 20 minutes, or until cheese is bubbly. Top with your favorite taco toppings.

A Sandwich a Day: Smith St. Cheese Steak at HBH Gourmet Sandwiches
A new sandwich every day.
In this great city of ours, one could eat a different sandwich every day of the year—so that's what we'll do. Here's A Sandwich a Day, our daily look at sandwiches around New York. Got a sandwich we should check out? Let us know. —The Mgmt.
You want to be careful when labeling a sandwich a "cheesesteak." Doing so cues certain expectations of a particular type of sandwich. But since the Smith St. Cheese Steak ($12) at HBH Gourmet Sandwiches is in Brooklyn, not Philly, I neutralized my expectations and decided to go with the flow.
The meat is braised short rib that appears in flat slabs; the cheese is a gooey and mild taleggio, which was tasty, but also made for a greasy time when combined with the chive aioli, which tastes a little like honey mustard thanks to the sweet pickled shallots. So no, this was not a traditional cheesesteak, but the beef was tender, moist, and decently seasoned. That said, for $12.00, you should get more meat, especially in comparison to the massive raft of fluffy ciabatta it came on. I expect ciabatta to be crusty and light, but this one was extremely soft, and it overwhelmed the contents of the sandwich. A worthy note: the sandwich came with housemade chips seasoned with fresh rosemary that were thin, crisp and well worth an extra side order.

I was looking for a practical demonstration of endotracheal intubation to have a visual impact of the process. I open the You Tube and found it still closed in Bangladesh. Like me, many of us would look into video clips of You Tube for useful purposes. But they will be frustrated.
I know that Bangladesh Government has closed down the You Tube in protest against publishing the hated film 'Innocence of Islam'. Like Bangladesh , many of the Muslim countries also closed You Tube. But where some countries like Egypt, Indonesia only blocked the particular film, Bangladesh blocked the whole channel. It would have been better if Bangladesh could able to block specifically the film. It indicates the technical and diplomatic failure of Bangladesh.
Bangladesh should keep its effort continued to compel the Google authority to specifically cancel the film.
In the meantime, Bangladesh should open the You Tube so that people can use it as a source of information for useful use.

Firms pleased with Red Hat, Gluster as storage investment increases
Pleased with the Red Hat, Gluster deal, IT shops looking for software-based storage praise their new products.
Red Hat executives say they are heavily investing in storage after acquiring open-source storage startup Gluster last year.
Red Hat's Gluster software has been rebranded as Red Hat Storage following the $136 million acquisition. During Red Hat's earnings call last Wednesday, CEO Jim Whitehurst described Red Hat Storage as a competitor to EMC Isilon's scale-out NAS and he expects it to be popular in high performance computing (HPC). "It's hard to come up with a direct competitor because there's not another software-only storage solution like that," he said of Red Hat Storage. He added that Red Hat plans to beef up engineering and sales around the storage software.
Before the acquisition plans were made by Red Hat, Gluster was a standalone company and sold its product as GlusterFS. Gluster's pre-acquisition customers fit the profile Whitehurst described as HPC shops looking for software scale-out NAS to run on commodity hardware.
The Cornell University Institute for Biotechnology and Life Science Technologies uses Red Hat's Storage Software Appliance to manage data from research projects such as DNA sequencing that generate high volumes of data. The institute runs the virtual appliance on file servers and DataDirect Networks arrays that the Cornell Center for Advanced Computing (CAC) already had in-house.
James VanEe, the institute's IT director, said he needed storage that would let him keep up with the rapidly expanding data his team produces. The institute's capacity grew by 150 TB over 18 months until slowing down -- probably temporarily – over the last six months.
VanEe said he was looking for a method of implementing a global namespace so his researchers could access data across nodes. His previous storage filers could only handle 16 TB per node.
"The core mission of our group is to generate data," he said. "I was suffering from the same challenges that anybody in this field was experiencing, which was how do we manage this volume of data?"
He considered using a NetApp FAS array that his group had for other data, and he looked at EMC Isilon before testing Gluster's free open product. He said CAC systems consultant Steven Lee ran a test on existing servers and quickly pronounced GlusterFS ready for primetime. The institute upgraded to the supported version, running it on file servers attached to CAC's DataDirect Networks S2A storage platform.
"It required a minimal hardware investment because we could use what we already had," VanEe said. "A couple of days after Steven set it up, he came back to me and said, 'This looks easy, I'm ready to roll it out.'"
VanEe said his old storage system could fit about 10 experiments on it, "then you'd have to provision another file system, and another. A large global namespace and scalability were important to me."
VanEe said his group has since added disk to DataDirect system to keep up with the growth rate of 50 TB every six months.
"That's leveled off because we're archiving or deleting older data," he said. "But we have grants in for new instrumentation and if they're funded, we have to be ready to scale."
VanEe said the type of numbers-crunching his group does would place it under the "big data" umbrella, so performance is also important to him. "Along with DNA sequencing, other research groups are customers of mine and this file system is exported to them," he said. "So they might have a large memory multicore server to compute without a lot of local storage. They're working on data sets that might be terabytes in size. Performance is quite good. The fact we can scale out the system and increase performance is also nice."
VanEe said his decision to go with Red Hat and Gluster instead of a major storage array was made easier because his group was looking for scalability and performance with little regard for traditional storage management needs such as data protection. "When we prioritized what was most important, DR was pretty low on the list," he said. "If we had deployed Isilon, we probably would've built it out with a replication site and snapshotting features. We can do snapshotting with Red Hat Storage, but I haven't implemented that yet. I'm using it for bulk storage running on robust hardware, but not set up with protection that would be needed for other types of data."
He said he was "shocked" when Red Hat acquired Gluster, and was concerned about possible pricing changes but he thinks the Red Hat model will work well with Gluster's storage. "I'm a fan if Red Hat puts more resources in," he said. "I'm happy with the support we've received and I wouldn't expect that to get worse. I like the Red Hat model as far as supporting free and open software while adding enterprise support."
Red Hat receives praise from Pattern Energy Group
San Francisco-based Pattern Energy Group LP was another Gluster customer before the acquisition, and now uses Red Hat Storage Software Application for its weather prediction data.
Charles Ringley, manager of atmospheric modeling at Pattern Energy, said his company first installed GlusterFS on 16 Hewlett-Packard blade servers in 2007 and increased that to 32 blades the following year. Pattern uses InfiniBand connectivity for low-latency, high-bandwidth performance.
Ringley said Pattern was among Gluster's first commercial customers.
"We use it specifically for our weather resource and modeling," Ringley said. "It's an I/O-intensive application with a lot of reading and writing. We do a lot of number crunching and it runs 24 hours a day, so we needed high reliability and fast performance. We couldn't find an existing infrastructure to deal with it. Since we were starting fresh, we decided to take a cutting edge technology and run with it."

Young Michie: Club 216 taking old LiveArts space
The city's leading dance club is moving to the original home of the city's leading theater company. Club 216 is moving from Water Street, a site slated for a high-rise residential condominium project, to the Old Michie Building, which served as the home of LiveArts from 1989 to 2003. "Club 216 is MOVING!!" exclaims an email to members of the private club, known for its frequent drag shows and large gay clientele. "The rumors are true."
The email indicates that the last weekend at 216 West Water Street is April 3rd & 4th, with the reopening on Market Street two weeks later. The release also remarks that the new location is directly across the street from the Charlottesville Police Station–- "The safest place to party will now be even
Blogger Waldo Jaquith notes that the anchor spot in Old Michie–- a big windowless box created expressly for LiveArts by developer Gabe Silverman–- was only suitable for a very few tenants.

Nice, but will they change the name? I mean, at that point "Club 216" is not applicable, since they won't be at 216.
Access will be a little better, though. Plenty of parking in the city garage.
Well, no more stairs, standing on said stairs waiting, and maybe they'll be smoke free this time. And maybe I'll check it out again.
I don't think I'd like to be coming out with a buzz on at 3 a.m. right in front of the Police Station. Did anyone give that some thought?
I hope they keep the name. Spencer didn't change the name of Spencer's 206 when he moved to Water Street, which I admired. I haven't been to Club 216 for 15 years, though, so I can't claim to have a sense of what they ought to do.
I would think that any club that does lawful business would like being across from a police station. I'm sure they thought about that and the parking available nearby. The owners of 216 have always struck me as good business people. I wish them all the best.
Fine for the club-but those of us living downtown will be wedged between two nightclubs. Which means inevitably dozens of car doors slamming at 2:00 am and loud laughter and arguments and the occasional beer bottle smashed against a light pole. I know this because fifteen years ago (like Waldo) I was an occasional Club 216 patron. Now I've grown up. I appreciate the value of a good night's sleep. Which means, sadly, time to move.
"Plenty of parking in the city garage."
The garage is closed in the middle of the night. But parking lot around the corner and plenty of on-street parking. Police station only a symbolic deterrent- cops are out on patrol except at shift change. Only a dispatcher deep inside the concrete building- if that hasn't been centralized over at 911.
It will be fun to watch people come out and find their car locked in the garage.
I think the "windowless box" should have been used for a strip club. That would also do rather well in that particular location. Another fun establishment within a block of the police station was the dope/DVD/gun dealing store. Ahh...the good old days.
Outskirts...cars locked in the garage? They will merely use pixie dust to open them!
i am n ot too happy with the idea of moving a gay club right across fromt the police station, but i guess ain't nothing we can do to stop it now so go ahead.

This includes deer meat in addition to cow, but all beef works too. Things for which I don't list amounts means I eyeball it.
- 4lbs of stew meat (I did 3lbs of deer, 1lb cow)
2lbs of ground beef
20-22 Poblano chiles (Anaheims work too, Anaheims & Poblanos combined are sublime)
20 Serrano chiles (jalapeños, if you're of the mild-palated sort)
About 10 dried New Mexico chiles
2 cans of Ro-tel (Hot version, unless you prefer less exciting flavor)
1 yellow onion (to be chopped)
4 cloves of garlic (to be chopped)
Celery stalks (to be chopped)
Chili powder
Black Pepper
1 stick of butter
Directions: This is not necessarily in perfect order. You'll need to multi task among the various categories of culinary crafting.
- -Broil the Poblano chiles until charrred on each side. Peel charrred ends, and look at the delicious roasted peppers. Just look at 'em. Then tear the prepared peppers into the portion size you'd like present in bites of chili. I prefer mine pretty gutty, since -after roasting and peeling them- they have the consistency of a nice gooey cheese, but all the flavor of a delicious chile.
-Season stew meat with some salt, cumin, and chili powder (not too much). Brown the meat, doesn't have to be fully cooked through. Drain the fat.
-Chop by hand and knife the celery and onion. Sautée celery and onion with butter, salt, and black pepper, until they're semi-translucent. Don't drain a bit of it.
-De-stem serranos and remove outer skin of garlic cloves. Put 'em in a food processor and mince that stuff down.
-Combine all the aforementioned prepared goodness into a 6 quart or bigger crock pot, and put it on low or warm. While that is warming:
-Take the dried New Mexico chiles and remove the stems. Cover them in water in a pot, bring to a boil, then reduce heat and let said chiles simmer for 15 minutes or so, till softened. Process them until they're pretty much a beautiful red chili paste. Then add it to the crock pot, along with however much chili powder, cumin, salt, etc. you prefer. Let it cook on low for 8hrs, 10hrs, whichever. This renders the meat deliciously tender.
This picture is what it looks like before it has been slow-cooked. After it cooks, it's gone too fast before I can take a picture :

It's almost the end of Ramadan as Muslims around the world will celebrate the end to their month-long fast and abstinence from food, water and negativity with Eid al-Fitr/ Hari Raya Puasa on the 17th July. I've always been in awe of my muslim friends' strength and endurance for being able to endure abstinence with such grace.
This hearty meal of easy roast chicken and couscous salad would be wonderful for iftar as it is simple to prepare, very delicious and can be doubled or tripled in volume to feed a large family breaking fast at sunset.
It is also a good dinner party dish as the overnight marination does wonders for its flavour and within an hour, you have a feast with minimal preparations.
I get my sumac, pomegranate molasses, harissa and other middle eastern supplies from Zac's Butchery and Deli , Jones the Grocer outlets or Mustaffa in Singapore. Any good Middle Eastern provisions shop should have these ingredients.
The roast chicken exudes a slightly sour and sweet flavour from the addition of the pomegranate molasses and sumac (a sour berry spice) and is balanced with the spiciness from the harissa. With the additional roasting time, the top of the chicken pieces become crispy. I love how the onions caramelise while roasting and yet they remain soft and delicious as they soak up the chicken juices while they're roasting. Despite a slightly longer roasting time, the chicken remains moist and just drops off the bone when it's cut into as covering the pan with foil while it's roasting in its own steam keeps it from drying out. You could serve the roast chicken and its juices over mashed potato or simple toast some country bread and dip into the rich broth. You just can't go wrong with this roast chicken. So delicious!
Middle Eastern Roast Chicken with Pearl Couscous Salad
- 1 kg/ 2lbs chicken thighs/drumsticks, pricked all over with a fork
- 1/4 cup olive oil
- 4 tbsp lemon juice
- 2 tsp sea salt
- 1 tsp freshly ground black pepper
- 2-4 tbsp harissa paste (adjust according to how spicy your paste is)
- 3 tsp ginger-garlic paste (equal measures of ginger and garlic)
- 1 tsp pomegranate molasses
- 1 tsp sumac
- 1-2 cups water, low-sodium chicken broth
- 2 large red onions, quartered
1. Mix all ingredients, except the water/low-sodium chicken stock and onions, in a bowl.
2. In a large ziplock bag, put the chicken and marinade and massage the chicken until all the marinade coats the chicken pieces. Marinate overnight or for at least 4 hours.
3. Remove marinated chicken from the fridge at least 45 mins before cooking.
4. In a large roasting tray, empty entire content of ziplock bag onto tray. Evenly space out the chicken and place quartered onions in between chicken pieces.
5. Pour about 1 -2 cups of water into the tray so that the the water level reaches halfway up the chicken pieces.
6. Sprinkle some sea salt flakes over the chicken pieces and cover with aluminium foil. In a preheated oven at 180°C/350°F, bake for 25 minutes.
7. After 20 minutes, remove aluminium foil and check to see that there is still some liquid in the tray. Pour a few tablespoonfuls of water more if needed.
8. Turn up the oven temperature to 200°C/390°F and return roasting tray to the top rack of the oven for another 15- 20 min until chicken is fully cooked and crispy on top.
9. Serve with rice or couscous salad (scroll down page) and yoghurt.
Pearl Couscous Salad
- 1 -2 cups pearl couscous (allow about 1/4 – 1/2 cup per serving)
- 1/2 cup Olive Oil
- Salt Pepper
- 1 Red/Yellow/Orange Pepper/Capsicum, diced
- Telegraph cucumber, diced
- Handful of fresh Coriander, Parsley & Mint, roughly chopped
1. Cook couscous as you would cook pasta.
2. Drain the couscous and immediately season with olive oil, salt, pepper and whatever spices you'd like to add while it is hot.
3. Toss with diced peppers, cucumbers and herbs. Serve.

Better Press Brakes Yield Precision for Profit
Operating a press brake is perhaps the most difficult task in a metal-fabricating shop, requiring hundreds of hours, if not more, of training and experience to tackle the ever-increasing amount of precision required. Fabricators can be expected to invest mightily in press-brake operator training, only after carefully selecting candidates who have proven track records of reliability. And, quoting from ehow.com:
Now more than ever fabricators must get from print to part as quickly as possible—with that first part being a good part —without being held hostage by that one expert operator who may not be available, or perhaps has even retired. Quick and documented setups with precise tool alignment, minimized changeover time and mistake-proof production hold the keys to success, and press-brake manufacturers continue to do their part to ensure fabricators have access to those keys.
New technology developed by manufacturers helps fabricators overcome these and other challenges: grain-direction variability, inconsistent material-thickness and mechanical properties, and increased part complexity.
Virtual Bending
"With the market focus on quick setup and quick changeover, and minimized scrap rates," says Simpson, "press-brake manufacturers are focused on helping shops move jobs from the office to the shop floor quickly and efficiently, and with making the first part a good part. Offline programming (OLP) and virtual bending in the office makes that happen, and allows a fabricator to move the know-how out of the shop and into the programming office. Thus, one well-trained and knowledgeable press brake operator versed in OLP can develop documented setups and program bend sequences for every job on the floor, and view 3D simulations of each procedure. This allows for a somewhat reduced skill level on the floor without sacrificing quality or increasing scrap levels."
Nearly every fabricator that purchases a new press brake also invests in OLP software, according to Simpson, who says that buying the software is like "buying a second press brake and putting it in your office." Using the software to manage bend sequencing, account for material bend allowances and predict and account for collisions allows a fabricator to go from the office to the shop and produce a finished part in as little as 15 min., Simpson says. Shops avoid a trial-and-error process that adds unnecessary operator and press-brake production time.
Tool-Positioning Aids
Setups at the press brake can get quite complicated, particularly when several tool stations are set up along the bed for sequential, staged bending. Staging one tool set to impart one bend onto each blank from a healthy blank stack won't challenge too many operators. However, asking an operator to stage a set of several—say four or five—sets of tools along the bed, and then run each blank through four or five forming operations is another story. Manufacturers have focused, again, on s to mistake-proof these particularly challenging setups. "Smarter machines leads to fewer mistakes on the floor," says Simpson.
One manufacturers have made "smarter machines" is by developing tools and techniques to help an operator properly use multiple staged tool setups across the press-brake bed. Simpson describes a Trumpf solution—use of optical LEDs as positioning aids. The LEDs mount above the upper tool rail tools, and light or dim based on the part program. Activated LEDs serve multiple purposes—they alert the operator where to install the tooling on the brake, and then illuminate during the bend sequence to guide the operator along the programmed bend sequence.
Another manufacturers help support operators during setup is use of the press brake's backgauges to guide tool positioning. As part of the press-brake setup program, the backgauges will index to each location where the tools are to be set. Then the operator simply has to slide the tool against the backgauge finger, lock it down and hit the "Go" button on the controller, to signal the backgauges to move to the next tool-set position.
"This setup assistance and other features allow any operator in the shop to set up even the most complex job," adds Simpson, "with optimum assurance the setup will be correct, regardless of his skill level. This allows shop management to make purchasing decisions based on their own set of rules and press-brake specifications, rather than leaving buying decisions up to the operators, who often will prefer a machine based only on their own experience level with that machine's manufacturer. That's not the best to make a purchasing decision, and new technology features such as OLP software and setup aids act as equalizers."
Bend-Angle Accuracy
"Tolerances are tighter than ever," continues Simpson, noting that many fabricators that once specified ±0.030 in. tolerances now quote 0.010 to 0.015 in. tolerances. "Also, parts formed on press brakes have become much more complex as fabricators look to streamline designs, use fewer parts and eliminate welds. That places tighter requirements on bend-angle accuracy —in the past, a part formed to a 1-deg. tolerance could be corrected in a welding fixture. As two- and three-piece assemblies become one complex formed part, fabricators lose that luxury."
As a result, parts have to leave the press brake perfectly formed, and this is where measuring bend angle in-process and the ability to make real-time adjustments in the press brake come into play. Each manufacturer has its own of doing this, says Simpson, including use of pressure sensing or lasers to measure bend angle from both sides of the workpiece.
For example, says Simpson, Trumpf's angle-controlled bending (ACB) process measures material variance, sheet thickness and grain direction to help ensure bend-angle accuracy.
"Grain direction has become a critical variable," says Simpson, "particularly when material prices creep up. When that happens, fabricators will nest blanks for processing (in a laser-cutting machine or a turret press) to optimize material utilization. Therefore, blanks might be rotated any number of s to fit into an efficient nest. However, this means that grain direction can vary from blank to blank, which affects springback in the press brake and bend-angle repeatability. This is where real-time bend-angle measurement and correction proves helpful."
Other Issues— Ergonomics, Safety, etc.
Irregardless of new technology that leads to smarter machines, skilled operators als will remain a must in any sheetmetal-fabrication shop. And, one to attract more folks to the sheetmetal-fabrication trades is to improve the ergonomic aspects of operating the machinery. Historically, press-brake operators have battled back strain and carpal-tunnel syndrome, among other ailments. But now, says Simpson, the industry has addressed those problems and designed features into press brakes to ease the physical part of the job, so that operators can focus on the mental aspects.
"New features available to improve ergonomics include adjustable foot and hand rests to minimize fatigue and improve productivity; the ability to operate the brake while seated; and an adjustable (mobile) control," says Simpson. "Using the mobile control," he elaborates, "the operator can manage all functions of the press brake from anywhere along the machine, minimizing walking time. He can clamp the tools, turn on the hydraulics, cycle-start the bending program, etc…without having to move back and forth to the main control panel."
Additional tools developed to assist press-brake operators include the addition of a bar-code reader to the operation, "so the operator can simply scan a job traveler to load the required program into the control and remove yet one more source of human error," says Simpson. "For example, consider a job that calls for a right- and left-hand part configuration. An operator might easily call up the left-hand part program when he really was tasked with forming right-hand parts. How many parts might be bent before someone finds the error?" MF

Are y'all talking about this?http://tinyurl.com/277qp5It's a KMOX radio interview, the host is a HUGE fan, has seen every episode etc. Runs about 15 minutesIt was supposed to be an in-house interview but apparently the snowstorms canceled Phil's flight.Interesting tidbit was discussed about how Phil was detained in the Ukraine during season 10. Must of been them tanks!

Below I will explain some of the basics of good structure and some common songwriting terms.
If you have all three sides as strong as possible from the songwriting triangle, you will give your song it's best chance at success.
If you have a weak side of the triangle or more, generally your song does not have a very good chance at pleasing listeners. It is suggested that you always continue improving your writing in those three areas.
Study songs and look at those three areas within songs that are successful. Now, lets go over some basic songwriting terms and structure fundamentals.
A stanza is similar to a paragraph in a book. A stanza is a section of grouped lines. Usually a song will have multiple verses and a chorus.
A verse is a stanza, or two of lines that give the details of the song.
The chorus is a section of lines that generally contain the catchiest part of the song. Usually the chorus contains a songs hook.
A hook is a phrase of words or music that catches the listeners ear and if the listener remembers anything of the song, it's usually that part. The hook is often the title of the song and is similar to a slogan for a company.
In most cases, a song contains a chorus that is the same or has only very small changes to it's content each time it's repeated. Some songs have no chorus, but most do.
A song format of AAA would mean three verses with no chorus for instance.
Some songs use a bridge as well.
A bridge is usually of different length than a verse and usually has different music
accompaniment. A bridge usually will "sum up" a songs message, or flash forward or backwards in time or often give a different perspective or surprise twist to a song.
Below I will go into some detail of rhyming in songs.
Again, I will say that songs do not have to rhyme, but I will also say that the vast majority of successful songs do rhyme and would strongly suggest you consider using this wonderful tool to aid your songs.
Take caution though because cliché', boring, predictable rhymes can ruin any song.
Often a new writer gets so tied up in rhyming that the rhymes force the song to use words that sound like the words were picked simply because they rhymed, not because they helped the song. Don't get discouraged.
Like anything, writing good songs takes practice and some effort.
A rhyme works best when it seems like it was an accident that words rhymed, and the lyrics are so fresh that the rhyming isn't even noticed, the song just has that "effect" of all fitting together somehow and rhymes were a part of that.
Rhymes should not be in the way; they should be like the icing on the cake that made it taste better.
The rhyme pattern in each verse should match other following verses in the song, but this pattern does not have to be the same in the chorus or bridge and is usually best to be different than the verses.
Songs do not have to rhyme, but the vast majority of successful songs do rhyme. Rhymes are generally categorized as "perfect" or "near."
A perfect rhyme is not the best rhyme; the name just refers to the way it is. For instance, the two words "mind" and "find" are considered perfect rhymes. The consonants following the rhymed vowel (in this case I) are the same. The two words "find" and "line" are considered "near rhymes because the consonants after the rhymed vowel are different. (The E in both words is silent)
Usually rhymes come at the end of the line, but not always.
Let's look at several popular rhyme schemes below. I will use 4 line stanzas, which is a popular stanza length, but don't get caught up in 4 line rhymes all the time.
This is called a, the very first line
I am the second in the stanza this time
The third goes here in this song of mine
This stanza ends with another silly rhyme
Let's imagine that stanza above is our 1st verse of your song. This verses rhyme scheme (pattern of rhyming) would be AAAA.
The reason it would be AAAA is that each line ended with a word that rhymed in following lines. (Line/time/mine/rhyme)
The A refers to the 1st rhymed line. An X would be used if the line did not rhyme to any other line. Often each line does not rhyme to every other line in a stanza, but maybe to just one or two others.
The 2nd rhymed word would then be B. For instance, see the stanza below:
A is representing the 1st rhymed line (line which rhymes to rhyme in line 3) and B represents the second rhymed line. In a stanza there are sometimes more sets of rhymes that would be referred to as C, D, etc.
So, if you look above, you see again that ABAB means that the 1st and 3rd line rhyme to each other and the 2nd and 4th line rhyme to each other.
If the format were AABB, then the 1st two lines would rhyme and the 3rd and 4th line would rhyme. Consider now the stanza below that has lines that do not rhyme.
This format would be considered xAxA. The X represents a line that does not rhyme, and again, the A represents the 1st line rhymed.
The important thing is that once you decide on your rhyme scheme, or pattern, is to keep it the same in following verses.
Again, the chorus need not match the verse, but verses need to match each other. So, if you use an AABB format in verse 1, use that same format in verse 2 and verse 3 etc.
If you use a different format for each verse you throw the listener off completely and make your song hard to follow. So using a format of AABB in verse one and a format of ABAB in verse two is not advised at all.
The reason you can use a different format in a chorus or bridge as compared to the verses is that they are completely different sections of a song with different purposes. Usually the music is different for those different sections as well. Having a different rhyme scheme further illustrates to the listener that this is a different section of the song.
An inner line rhyme is two or more rhymes in the same line of lyrics. An inner line rhyme accelerates the time between rhymes and is a useful effect in songwriting.
Writing songs with inner line rhymes is a little tough because since the rhymes are closer together they are noticed more easily. Your rhymes need to be very good and not "cliché" or "predictable" because they will be noticed more than normal being close together.
Below is an example of an inner line rhyme.
You can use an inner line rhyme with or without rhyming to other lines. For example, look at the change below:
Now we will discuss meter and how that will affect your writing. Lines in one verse will need to match lines length in following verses. Have you ever wrote a song, and had to squeeze in words real fast and later decide that it just didn't sound right? That's because your lyrics did not match the music.
One of way of matching is to hum the melody where the line goes and count the syllables. The best way is to count the stresses in that line. For instance, read the lines below:
One way to find stresses is to quickly look for words that have the meaning in the line.
For instance, the word "this" and "is" don't have a lot of importance in line 1. They are not stressed words in the line. The line would have 3 stresses if the line read "This song called meter is quite silly." The words "song" "meter" and "silly" would all be stressed.
Say the line out loud and notice how those words are stressed.
With this verse, we have established the verse's meter, the pattern of stressed words within the lines. With that pattern established, following verses would need to match the pattern of 2 stresses per line in each of it's 4 lines. They could not, for instance, have 2 stresses in line 1, 3 in line 2, 2 in line 3, and 4 stresses in line 4.
The songs meter would be off considerably and would sound silly with the music.
For more information, search the Internet for meter and also purchase some of the songwriting books available.
When you take away everything but the stressed words of a line, you end up with the basics of the message of that line. For instance, line 1: song – silly. Knowing those two important words, we have a good idea about what the line is trying to say to us.
Many times you'll notice that stressed words appear in the "down beat" of the rhythm.
Tap your foot while you say those lines. Tap your foot the 1st time, when you say the word "song" and then the next time when you say "silly."
Continue that same tempo as you say the rest of the lines. You will also find many chords fall on stressed words in a song. That is a good thing to happen, as this new chord highlights a word, and the words that you would want highlighted are the important words in your lyric which are also the "stressed words.
When a singer holds a note and lets it soar at times, you'll notice that the notes will be stressed words as well. There is no reason for a singer to hold a word and highlight it if it's not a stressed word. Imagine a line that said, "I wish I was in Toledo." The stressed words are "wish" "was" and "Toledo." You wouldn't hold the note on the word "in" and not "Toledo." If you held "in," you would be highlighting the wrong word.
All those items cannot be covered in this short article.
This article is simply meant to give an overview of them. At this point, dive into studies of your own and search out books and study materials from several sources to begin continually improving your craft.
Treat songwriting as just that, a "craft." Make sure you have all the tools available to you as you work at your craft, and learn to use each more and more as the years go by.
It would seem romantic to figure that all lyrics are simply wrote in 5 minutes and with little effort or time spent on them. The reality is that many are not. The reality also is that when inspiration hits quickly and a song is written quickly and ends up a successful song that it is often due to the study and knowledge acquired long before that particular song was written.

Review: 'Castlevania: Lords of Shadow -- Mirror of Fate' takes fresh approach
Mercury Steam injected new life into the "Castlevania" series with its first foray, "Castlevania: Lords of Shadow," which turned into the most successful entry in the series. The game seemed to answer the problem that plagued the franchise: How do you bring the series into the world of polygons?
They solved it by creating a game that played like "God of War" but with a twist. The protagonist, Gabriel Belmont, absorbed an old evil and became Dracula. The ending was shocking, like finding out Darth Vader was Luke's father. For an encore, the same team went to work on a follow-up on the Nintendo 3DS.
But the team took a different approach this time around. They looked to the classic "Castlevania III: Dracula's Curse" for inspiration. The result is "Castlevania: Lords of Shadow -- Mirror of Fate," a 2-D side-scrolling adventure that mirrors the best of the old-school games.
Structurally, it's built in the "Metroid" mold. Players take on the roles of Simon Belmont, Alucard and Trevor Belmont. Across three acts, they explore Dracula's castle, gaining new abilities and unlocking paths that were previously locked away. It's a formula that's been done to death by the series, but "Mirror of Fate" revamps it by having an unconventional plot that players can follow. It's layered, like the level design, and compelling enough to keep fans going until the final fight.
As players finish each act, they uncover more of the mystery behind this strange family saga and delve into the characters' motivations. Each act offers a different perspective based on one of the heroes, and they intertwine elegantly until the final conclusion with Trevor.
The other major improvement is the combat, which borrows a lot from "Lords of Shadow." It's more combo driven and complex, as players have to block attacks, roll underneath others and jump over telegraphed ones. They can even juggle enemies in the air. It's a system that rewards skill and the ability to read attacks.
Although it's a fresh take on the "Castlevania" formula, "Mirror of Fate" feels too guided at times. Because players always know where to go, there's not that feeling of discovery. They traipse through zone after zone with few surprises. The visuals also aren't as striking as they could have been. The 3-D definitely pops, but the art doesn't grab you.
Despite that, "Mirror of Fate" is a solid effort and continues the trend of refreshing approaches to the franchise.
THE THIRD TIME'S A CHARM? If gamers want to see a next-gen game now, the title that comes closest to those lofty visual promises is "Crysis 3" on the PC. Crytek's third entry into the saga of Prophet, a nanosuit-wearing warrior, puts players in a New York that has been cordoned off from the rest of the world.
Under the shielded dome, nature has taken over and created a new kind of urban jungle, one where trees have destroyed dilapidated buildings. Swamps have filled the streets of Chinatown, and tallgrass has taken over the rail yard. In this environment, Prophet, with a new bow and arrow, will have to hunt both the aliens called Ceph and Cell corporation mercenaries.
The game has traded more linear environments for wide-open ones and streamlined the controls. The move rewards players who prefer planning and the strategy of stealth to the quick-twitch gameplay of the run and gun, but "Crysis 3" can still accommodate both styles.
But for all its gorgeous visuals (and trust me, this is the prettiest game you'll likely see all year), the plot and level design is uninspiring. And that's a shame, given the sheer artistry involved with the graphics.

Knicks Top Bucks to Continue Winning Streak
Carmelo Anthony scored 41 points, tying a franchise record with this third straight 40-point game, and the New York Knicks beat the Milwaukee Bucks 101-83 on Friday night.
Anthony, who had 50 points and 40 in his previous two games, equaled Bernard King's 1984-85 mark.
J.R. Smith added 30 points for the Knicks, who used a huge third quarter to turn around the game after a lackluster first half on the night they honored their 1972-73 NBA championship team.
Brandon Jennings scored 25 points for the Bucks.

Office Health Hazards
by Elizabeth Peterson, MFA
There is little doubt that computers and hand-held devices have revolutionized the modern office. But along with increased ease and efficiency, they also have given rise to office-related injuries, such as repetitive motion disorders, computer vision syndromes, and falls. What follows is a description of each of these conditions, a discussion of their relationship to the modern office environment, and some tips on how you can prevent them.
Repetitive Motion Disorders
Repetitive motion disorders (RMDs) are a family of muscular conditions that result from repeated motions performed during the course of your normal work or daily activities. They occur when muscles and tendons become irritated and inflamed due to repetitive movements and/or awkward postures, such as twisting the arm or wrist, overexertion, incorrect posture, or muscle fatigue. RMDs occur most commonly in the hands, wrists, elbows, and shoulders, but can also happen in the neck, back, hips, knees, feet, legs, and ankles.
Perhaps the most common and well known RMD is carpal tunnel syndrome, a painful disorder of the hand caused by pressure on the main nerve that runs through the wrists. Other injuries that can result from repetitive motions include:
For some people, there may be no visible sign of injury, although they may find it hard to perform easy tasks. Over time, RMDs can cause temporary or permanent damage to the soft tissues in the body—such as the muscles, nerves, tendons, and ligaments—and compression of nerves or tissue. RMDs can also affect people who perform repetitive tasks outside of an office, such as an assembly line or sewing.
While most people associate computer work with carpal tunnel syndromes, the research so far does not support this.
The good news is that most people recover and can avoid reinjury by changing the way they perform their work. Since RMD evolves over time, your best bet is prevention. Good posture, a good office chair, and using an http://s2.hubimg.com/u/2434881_f520.jpg can help keep RMDs at bay. Take short breaks from your workstation to stretch your arms, shoulders, and legs. If you have time, consider taking periodic walks to refocus your body and mind.
Computer Vision Syndrome
As computers become an integral part of our everyday life, more and more people are also experiencing a variety of vision issues related to computer use. These include:
Collectively, these conditions are referred to as computer vision syndrome (CVS). CVS may be caused by abnormalities on the surface of the eye or muscle spasms. They may also be caused by ergonomic issues in the work environment, such as lighting, glare, display quality, refresh rates, and radiation.
Fortunately, many of these issues can be corrected with proper lighting, anti-glare filters, ergonomic positioning of a computer monitor, and regular work breaks. If you can't walk away from your computer, stop what your doing every 20 minutes, and look at an object 20 feet away for 20 seconds. This helps reduce eye strain. Lubricating eye drops and special computer glasses may also help.
It may come as a surprise that falls are one of the most common office accidents. Falls can result in serious injury, including strains, sprains, and fractures. They can be the result of overreaching, tripping, or slipping. Falls are a major contributor to time off work and disability.
You can help prevent falls in your office by following these steps:
You spend a lot of your time at workplace. Before you dive in to your workload, take a minute to make sure that your enviroment is safe so you can stay healthy.

Creating a relaxing atmosphere in your bedroom depends on two key elements: the use of pleasant furniture and adorable colors. Wooden furniture, especially in bedrooms, can create a wonderful natural style, which, when combined with subtle colors, creates an ambiance that fits your brain and your eyes. The white walls are perfect for decorating the bedroom, because it's calming color, which gives a clean and sophisticated look, that can easily fit in with the colors of the remaining furniture. In these delightful designs, you should stay away from creating a contrast, because they are not sufficiently delicate, subtle, sophisticated and luxurious. Precious wood furniture combined with soft colors and white walls creates for you an oasis of luxury and refinement, where you can relax after a hard working day. If you are one of those who think outside the box, we present you one little more challenging idea. It is about luxury round bed for your master bedroom. Check out below, and see how beautiful can be your master bedroom. Lighting in every part of the house should be adjusted to the activities taking place in it. Therefore, every room should have adequate strength lighting. The bedroom should have lighting that will allow a relaxed atmosphere and at the same time will enable in the individual parts to read or run another activity. This best combination is a mainly down lighting and string lights that will enable the light to be able to adapt to current activities and mood. For reading in bed are suitable lamps with built–in projector, which allow you to read without lighting the whole room, ie without disturbing your partner.
Today, we made one collection of extraordinary bedroom designs, that surely will leave you speechless. It is about fascinating yacht bedrooms, which are glamorous and functional. No matter that they are yacht bedroom, they can always serve you as an inspiration, if you are designing your new bedroom, or you are remodeling your old bedroom. The traditional bedroom interior design is a very well known and widely used design when it comes to bedrooms. You are probably familiar with it because there is a very high chance that your very own bedroom has been designed in this style, with slight variations according to the traditional design in your area. The bedroom is a place to relax after a hard day and fully charge the batteries for some new challenges. Therefore the bedroom, regardless of its small size, needs to be comfortable, functional and good-looking. Take plenty of time to study each individual photo from the gallery, and analyze the details, which will help you slowly to manage your ideal bedroom. Note that bright colors can more effectively increase the sense of space than the dark shades. Although is attractive, great big bed will waste a lot of space, so it's a good plan to reduce the size of the bed and fill the space obtained with practical pieces of furniture. It is good to find some functional space–saving bed design, that will be practical and amazing solution.
If you want to change the look of your home and you do not know how, we suggest you to enter the spirit of distant Asia. You will have a wonderfully decorated home. Your bedroom should not look cheap and overcrowded. Your home should look sophisticated and comfortable. To create such peaceful Asian atmosphere in your bedroom, it is necessary to combine several elements well. One of the most important characteristics of Asian decor is the use of pure, or dramatic colors. Asian style is recognisable with wooden furniture, lacquered with high gloss, which gives the impression of luxury. For this style you might have to work a little harder to find the right pieces of furniture. But the play of colors, as well as finding decor from stones and bamboo, will surely be a fun task. This is one of the most intimate rooms in the house. At the same time, inside we spend most of the time of the day. Because of its intimacy, this room is one of those where you can absolutely everything decorate according to your taste. You do not have to worry about what others will say or think about your choice of furniture, colors or the like. Of course, the bedrooms for couples are a little different story in which you still have to take care about the design to be suitable for the both. Luxury furniture for the bedroom is designed with style and elegance. The furniture is decorated in rich colors, gold and ivory. If you want to sleep like a king or queen, select bed for yourself in a large size with beautiful linens. See this ultra-luxury penthouse bedrooms and choose something for your home!

Last night's Republican presidential debate moderators, in a gesture of cruelty posing as kindness, asked the candidates to wrap up by saying what they'd rather be doing with this Saturday night, giving them a chance to show off their human sides. If any of these people were human a year ago, though, they've long since left their humanity to die on the campaign trail.
So after Texas governor Rick Perry—continuing his audition to play Rick Perry on Saturday Night Live—declared he'd rather spend the evening at the "shooting range," Newt Gingrich piped up: "I'd be watching the college championship basketball game."
His opponents quickly piled on the corrections: Obviously what the ex-Speaker meant was the college football championship game. Rick Santorum said he and his family would be "huddled around" and watching the game on their Saturday night. "Afraid it's football. I love it," Mitt Romney chimed in, smugly.
The BCS Championship Game is Monday night.
