The ultimate Nintendo hero is taking the ultimate step... out into space. Join Mario as he ushers in a new era of video games, defying gravity across all the planets in the galaxy. When some creature escapes into space with Princess Peach, Mario gives chase, exploring bizarre planets all across the galaxy. Players run, jump and battle enemies as they explore the many planets. For Mario to succeed, gamers will press buttons, swing the Wii Remote and Nunchuk controllers and even use the Wii Remote to point at and drag things on-screen.
Mario, Peach and enemies new and old.
How to progress through the game:
Players run, jump and battle enemies as they explore all the planets in the galaxy. Since this game makes full use of all the features of the Wii Remote, players have to do all kinds of things to succeed: pressing buttons, swinging the Wii Remote and the Nunchuk, and even pointing at and dragging things with the pointer.
Special powers/weapons/moves/features:
Since he's in space, Mario can perform mind-bending jumps unlike anything he's done before. He'll also have a wealth of new moves that are all based around tilting, pointing and shaking the Wii Remote.

First some context, I'm not a mathematician, not even close (as you will soon see) I do grasp some things about it but in a need to know basis, so plain english answers are appreciated (too).
I can't figure out this one even though some have tried very hard to explain/convince me.
So let's say I'm on a roulette (let's leave out the zero, or make it a coin for that matter).
The roulette hits 5 (or any amount of) times red on a row.
My question is why should't I bet to black (or better said why it is the same the one I pick).
I DO UNDERSTAND THE BASIC PRINCIPLE, that there is a material reality which makes the ball randomly fall on any of the two colors (which gives the options a 50-50 chance).
But, I also understand that if you "say": I bet red will come out six times on a row, you do have a very low probability of that happening so:
How is it that if you have seen the ball fall 5 times on a row on red, and you bet on red, you are NOT betting on 6 times on a row on red (that does have lower probability).
Thanks in advance!
I hope I was clear enough with my question, if not, please ask for any clarifications needed.
Sorry for the VERY plain English, feel free to modify or suggest a change to anything that may be misleading.

There are some things in life that are just okay to do.
We might beat ourselves up about it in the chilly dawn as we feed our tiny, trusting babies Infacol in the hope that wind is what's making her kick her legs and screw up her face and go "MmmmmmmmmmmNNNNNNNNNN!!!!! EEERrrrwwwwwwww!!!!!! *snuffle snuffle* pause HHII - EEEEEEEEE!!!!!!" when she is supposed to be asleep.
But in fact, we should all just relax.
Like it's okay to pay your tax bill a bit late. And it's okay to feel a bit sick when you see the amount.
And it's okay to still, at 30, raise your eyes to the sky and say "Please, please" when you're at the cash machine, in the hope that the machine will give you money, rather than tell you that you've got "insufficient funds".
It's okay to occasionally let your baby fall asleep on your shoulder and then put her down for her mid-morning nap, rather than take her to some far room, close the curtains, put her down while still sort-of awake and then let her cry herself to sleep.
It's okay to not do any laundry for, like, two weeks.
It's okay to hate people more successful than you.
And it's okay to salt your food.
A lot of people really don't think that's okay, though. It's mostly people of a certain age, who grew up thinking that salting your food was the equivalent of churning through 60 a day. Too much salt is bad for your heart, you see.
But what do we mean by too much? The recommended daily allowance of salt for adults is 6g. That's a lot - (see photo above with box of Infacol for scale) - but only if you don't eat any, or much, processed food. For example, a KFC wing contains 1g of salt. One whole gram. Six of those and you're done for the entire day.
I eat barely any processed food because my husband gives me such hell for it, so that means I merrily cover my food with salt. And if you know that you don't eat much processed food either, you ought to be salting your food, conscience-free. Because salt is what makes food tasty (something KFC knows only too well).
So bear that in mind. And next time you're standing at your stove, taking a sip off something off the end of a wooden spoon and feeling baffled as to why it tastes of nothing, reach for the salt - and be brave.
Because, *shush shush*, it's okay. It really is.

You are currently browsing the tag archive for the 'pottery wheel' tag.
The Shimpo Aspire Tabletop Pottery Wheel.
This little wheel weighs 25 pounds, goes on a tabletop, and is supposed to center 20 lbs. Yeah right. Looks like a toy doesn't it?
Well I tried it out and here it is. No toy.
I don't remember how much clay I used, but the pot stands 13 1/4″ tall. Not bad. Like any Shimpo I've used, (and despite the fact that this one is belt driven vs direct drive) it handles clay without breaking a sweat. Very quiet as well. I like the fact that despite all that strength, its very light and I can easily pick it up, stick under my arm, and go. I've tried a Soldner tabletop model (made by Bluebird) and it was great.. sturdy and strong, but very heavy.
Anyways, I was impressed not only by its ability, but by its exceedingly reasonable price.

text: Each part of the world faces specific vulnerabilities to climate change and has different opportunities to mitigate the effects and build resilience in the 21st century. With the Paris Agreement at COP 21, the global community has signaled its intent to act. Indeed, without climate action, decades of development progress are threatened, meaning that we are at a 'make it or break it' point in time. This course presents the most recent scientific evidence, explains the different regional impacts and divulge climate action strategies, and some opportunities for you to take action on climate change. About the Course This action-oriented MOOC gives you the opportunity to learn about regional climate change impacts and sector-specific strategies to increase resilience and move towards a low-carbon future. You will have the opportunity to explore these issues in depth and tailor your learning experience for one or more of the following regions: • Latin America and Caribbean • Sub-Saharan Africa • Middle East and North Africa • Eastern Europe and Central Asia • East Asia and Pacific • South Asia To do this, the MOOC brings together renowned scientists and policymakers to provide a synthesis of the most recent scientific evidence on climate change, regional low emissions and climate resilient development strategies across sectors, and an overview of the Paris Agreement and other outcomes of COP 21. Course Syllabus Overview Turn Down the Heat: From Climate Science to Action is divided into four weeks. The first two weeks will provide a comprehensive overview of the scientific evidence for climate change, followed by region-specific insights on the impacts of a warmer world in the 21st century. The last two weeks will focus on action strategies that are being undertaken in different regions and countries to meet the climate challenge, and on how individuals can take action. Week 1: Climate Change in the 21st Century • Historical and projected observed changes in the climate system, leading up to the end of the 21st century • The potential of Intended Nationally Determined Contributions (INDCs) submitted at COP 21 from 187 countries to induce climate action • Trends in climate change impacts, including loss of Arctic sea ice, melting glaciers, increased heat waves and extreme temperatures, and drought and aridity • Possible responses from natural systems, explaining how warming could result in sea-level rise, heat waves and extreme temperatures, and ocean acidification Week 2: Sectoral and Regional Impacts • Impacts on key development sectors—from warming above pre-industrial temperatures and projected climate trends—across each of the world's regions • Sectoral impacts focusing on agricultural production, water resources, ecosystem services, and coastal vulnerability for affected populations • Importance of risks with the potential to reverse hard-won development gains and potentially trap millions in poverty, illustrating the need for urgent action now Week 3: From Science to Action on Climate Change • Region-specific discussions on mitigation actions needed to reduce emissions while decreasing vulnerability to climate change impacts through adaptation and by building climate resilience • Perspectives from regional experts on their experiences in strategies and actions proposed in each region to help transition towards a low-emissions, climate-resilient development path Week 4: What You Can Do • Transformative impact of day-to-day changes when brought to a global scale • The rationale for acting now, acting together and acting differently • Examples and expected benefits of mitigation and adaptation policies, considering both contributions to global emission reductions and local development opportunities Course Format This MOOC has a week-by-week structure, with resources, activities and exercises for you to engage in during each of the four weeks of the course. Each week, you will find a variety of course material, including: • Interactive video talks by renowned climate scientists and practitioners • Resources: Core, optional (deep dive) and fun interactives on the week's theme • Quizzes that check your knowledge, reinforce the lesson's material and provide immediate feedback • Assignments that will sharpen your skills of analysis, reflection and communication • Discussion forums and social media that enable collaboration with others from around the world, enriching interaction among participants • A live interactive Google Hangouts on air with international experts, who will engage in a Q&A session on climate change • As a final project, you will create a digital artifact

If you're lucky, at some point in your life you have an experience that fulfills a dream. You get a big promotion, or you meet your soulmate, or you run for President and win (with the help of informed and registered voters!) For an actor, there might be many roles you're dying to embody. Some you may never have the chance to play.. (ex: I dream that someone will cast me as Hamlet someday.) I did, however, have the extreme joy and honor of falling in love and killing myself (sometimes twice) every day for the last two months as the "self-willed harlotry," "concealed lady," Juliet Capulet in the North Carolina Shakespeare Festival's fall production of Romeo & Juliet!
|Juliet/Nurse (Lauren Sowa & Darrie Lawrence)
What to say about this amazing and much discussed play? Having done the play twice before (once as Juliet and once as a Nurse/Tybalt doubling that I'll tell you about over a drink.. hint: it involves rolling down aisles and fruit-throwing) I thought I knew it. And yet, no matter how familiar you are with a Shakespeare play, the mix of people that create the company will take the play to places you never dreamed. I was pleasantly surprised to find that from the first session of table work until the final curtain call I was learning new things about this play and this incredible, loyal, loving, girl.
The play begins smack dab in the middle of an ancient feud. We are never told what these two distinguished families are fighting about, but we know that it goes back generations. I think it's an important detail that the cause of the hate is never specified -- not only does that allow for each production to interpret it for themselves, it also places the focus on the hate itself and makes it harder to side with one family over the other. (Hard, but not impossible, since the Capulets are like, way better.)
The young men of Verona are quick to quarrel. The town is at peace - there is no war going on. All of that youthful energy is just pent up waiting for some release.
Tybalt. What, art thou drawn among these heartless hinds?
Benvolio. I do but keep the peace. Put up thy sword.
Tybalt. What, drawn, and talk of peace? I hate the word
As I hate hell, all Montagues, and thee.
I have always seen Tybalt as a soldier without a War. The very thought of peace makes his blood boil and he is loyal to a fault. The mere appearance of Romeo at his house is enough for Tybalt to want to kill him. If Verona were fighting a war, then the young men would be banding together for a common cause. Instead, they are fighting each other. If only the Prince had attacked Venice to obtain a summer home, then perhaps they could all lounge by the water and have babies. Alas, the Prince just kept winking at those discords.
And what of these two "star-crossed lovers?" Are they just crazy kids, acting out of teenage rebellion and lust, sure to grow apart if they lived a full life? I think not.
Call me crazy, call me a sucker, tell me I'm naive, but I think the love that Romeo and Juliet share is pure and true. To find that kind of connection with each other, after being raised in an environment of greed and hate, shows just how remarkable these two people really are. You know what, dear reader? I'll take it one step further and make the bold statement that Romeo and Juliet are the most responsible characters in the play. They choose to connect rather than push the 'other' away. They choose love over hate, acceptance over judgement, loyalty over an easy out, and peace over war.
When Romeo first sees Juliet, he says:
What lady's that?
O, she doth teach the torches to burn bright!
Did my heart love til now? Forswear it, sight!
For I ne'er saw true beauty til this night.
He doesn't know she's a Capulet until after he's fallen in love. It is the same with Juliet:
My only love, sprung from my only hate!
Too early seen unknown, and known too late!
Prodigious birth of love it is to me
That I must love a loathed enemy.
A perfect example of how 'hate' is a learned behavior. Juliet loves the man, not the name, not the title. "Tis but thy name that is my enemy. Thou art thyself, thou, not a Montague. What's Montague?... What's in a name?" If either had known who the other truly was, it's very possible that this play would be called Juliet & Paris: aka Cap Lady Cap (The Early Years).
Luckily for us, the young lovers are not as conservative and close-minded as their parents' generation. They love in spite of and perhaps because of their differences. I suspect they know deep down that they aren't really so different after all. That 'ancient' grudge is not theirs to harbor -- it belongs to their parents, and their parents' parents.
|Romeo (Sheldon Best) & Juliet (Lauren Sowa)
|Talking Dots
I'm incredibly proud to have brought this story to thousands of students, teachers, and residents of High Point, NC. R&J stresses the importance of tolerance, cooperation, and love in the face of adversity -- all of which are relevant, timely, important issues.
Until we meet again Verona..

Glad comments to this post on Neetu Kapoor by bloggers Memsaab and Beth led me to it. Here are some highlights:
1. The film began with Daku (bandit) Mangal Singh (Amjad Khan) surrounded by cops, as his wife was about to deliver a child.
The police were led by DSP Shamsher Singh (Shammi Kapoor).
Really liked the way the chase unfolded. It could have been shorter (and I have given up on bullets to the legs of animals or to tires of stolen vehicles), but the outcome was fitting. Mangal Singh was captured and imprisoned. But his wife was not going to survive through childbirth. In her last moments, she requested the DSP to protect her baby boy (Amit) from his father's shadow.
The DSP took the child home, and any doubts he had about his wife (Indrani Mukherjee) accepting the child into their household (they had a boy child of their own -- Kishan) were dismissed when she said this:
And so began their journey of providing parvarish (an upbringing) to Amit and Kishan.
2. Mangal Singh's imprisonment ended, and he sought permission to take his child. The DSP refused. When Kishan, who was often scolded by his parents, overheard their conversation, he thought he was Mangal's son. And he made his sentiments known. Of course, all those years in jail didn't do much to change Mangal. Kishan would live in the DSP's home, but subscribe to Mangal's philosophies.
3. Fast forward a couple of decades, and Amit (Amitabh Bachchan) and Kishan (Vinod Khanna) were into their adulthood. Amit a cop, and Kishan an instructor at a school for blind children (well, at least that was what he had most believing was his primary profession).
4. Next, we were introduced to lead smuggler Supremo (Kader Khan) who employed Mangal and Kishan's services. His hideout was a submarine! And that instantly reminded me of a Japanese cartoon that was popular in the 1980s -- Thundersub.
5. This frame makes it for the wonderful flow to the sentence (well, and for ye Vinod Khanna fans):
6. Shabbo (Shabana Azmi) was introduced next. I was looking forward to seeing her in the film (she's a fantastic actress, but we've known that for long). That she would have a reference to my favorite food of all-time among her first bits of dialogue made it even better!
7. Shabbo and her sister Neetu (Neetu Singh) were orphaned at a young age. They were pickpockets, and rather good ones. While Shabbo picked on Kishan, Neetu worked on Amit.
Shabbo was smart to even con the DSP's wife. (And Neetu the DSP.)
8. The song Sab janta ka hai (Everything belongs to the public) was one of the best of the lot. Its placement made sense, especially since it was at Nariman Point! It is the most frequently mentioned roadway on the blog.
This frame is fitting, because the pictures in the post on Neetu Kapoor were taken at an event right by The Oberoi.
9. This scene at the police station was hilarious, and just a small example of the quality of acting that was a feature of the film.
I'd never imagined we would get to see Neetu and Amit like this:
10. What made things interesting was the rivalry between Amit and Kishan (among the many others). This was a song put to excellent use:
This one could have ended the film an hour earlier. But we're conditioned to not worry about it.
11. Amit suffered an injury and lost his eyesight (he didn't). I was prepared to let this sequence go, too. As I watched, I said to the person I saw this with, "at least give him a towel". The person's response after the scene (shall not spoil the end of the scene for you): "Hah, they got you!" Indeed, they did! The sequence was a highlight, especially given the song 'Bandh aankh se dekh' was used in the backdrop. Excellent!
Could easily identify with the first frame, for the outfit was my uniform in high school. And here is a good example of product placement -- see the Dalda can in the backdrop?!
12. Mangal Singh's lair was impressive (although I liked Shakal's better, from Shaan (1980)), complete with women endlessly dancing in the background, behind red screens (glad to be spared of an item number there). It was also where Amit was forced to go through an interesting test to validate his blindness.
13. There was a sub-plot with Neetu and Shabbo and Mangal that prompted a unique qawwali. While the ladies looked very pretty, the revolvers didn't do much at all for me.
14. Having said that, the climax was fitting. Would Amit reveal his ability to see? Would they discover Mangal's son was Amit and not Kishan? If they would, what would their reaction be? What about Shabbo and Neetu? And Mangal and Supremo? And the DSP and his wife?
Aside: Watch this video *only if* you have seen the film. How could one not like this?!
For answers to these questions, watch Parvarish. It really is 1970s masala exemplified (do you agree?). In addition to an immensely talented cast that delivers performance after fine performance (I couldn't pick one actor that outshone the others, they were all excellent), the plot is good enough to hold the attention of the audience throughout. The only bit I didn't enjoy as much was the way in which the love stories developed (decent at best). The film probably reflected on this as well (was a DCP really asking his sons to marry pickpockets?):
But the film has far more in it to enjoy and is a fine product of entertainment, carefully packaged within the brand of cinema it has no problems clearly identifying with. For those of us who are willing to suspend disbelief, this was well worth checking out! Thank you Memsaab and Beth!
Movie rating: 4/5 (excellent!)
My classification: PG (for violence), but mostly clean otherwise
Music rating: 3.5/5 (very good)

Johnny Ryan - Season 2, Episode 2
We kick off 2010 with comic artist, Johnny Ryan, creator of the painfully hilarious Angry Youth Comix, as well as Comic Book Holocaust and Blecky Yuckarella strips. In this episode, we talk to him about his newest book, Prison Pit, Book 1, his comics process, and rate who is the best fighter in comics. We also share our latest finds from the 2009 Alternative Press Expo with our very own Josh Frankel, as well as discuss this whole business about cartoonists having babies all of a sudden. What's that about!?! Have a listen!

I believe there was a much earlier missed connections comic in an issue of Drawn & Quarterly by that cartoonist/musician who isn't Archie Prewitt and whose name has escaped me (but was from a band called 'Railroad' something).

And as for making comics after having kids, I like this comic of Chris Ware describing how he managed it with his daughter: http://www.strippedbooks.com/comics/stripped07/comics-03.html
I like to imagine that he'll follow that basic 'feed her til she falls asleep and then feed her again' approach until she's like, 25.

The kids chose the colours of the circles and the type of filling. Butterscotch pudding with whipped cream folded in was the choice and it worked perfectly. We kept it in the freezer and it was delicious each time we pulled it out for a taste.
I'll definitely be making this again and already have a few designs in mind.
Below you'll find the recipe we were given just in case you'd like to give it a try!
YIELD: Two ½ size sheet pans or a 13" x 18" (33 x 46 cm) jelly roll pan
¾ cup/ 180 ml/ 3oz/ 85g almond flour/meal - *You can also use hazelnut flour, just omit the butter
½ cup plus 2 tablespoons/ 150 ml/ 2⅔ oz/ 75g confectioners' (icing) sugar
¼ cup/ 60 ml/ 1 oz/ 25g cake flour *See note below
3 large eggs - about 5⅓ oz/ 150g
3 large egg whites - about 3 oz/ 90g
2½ teaspoons/ 12½ ml/ ⅓ oz/ 10g white granulated sugar or superfine (caster) sugar
2 tablespoons/ 30 ml/ 1oz / 30g unsalted butter, melted
1. In a clean mixing bowl whip the egg whites and white granulated sugar to firm, glossy peeks. Reserve in a separate clean bowl to use later.
2. Sift almond flour, confectioner's sugar, cake flour. (This can be done into your dirty egg white bowl)
3. On medium speed, add the eggs a little at a time. Mix well after each addition. Mix until smooth and light. (If using a stand mixer use blade attachment. If hand held a whisk attachment is fine, or by hand. )
14 tablespoons/ 210ml/ 7oz/ 200g unsalted butter, softened
1½ cups plus1½ tablespoons/ 385ml/ 7oz/ 200g Confectioners' (icing) sugar
7 large egg whites - about 7 oz / 200g
1¾ cup/ 420ml/ 7¾ oz/ 220g cake flour
Food coloring gel, paste or liquid
2. Pattern the décor paste – Here is where you can be creative. Make horizontal /vertical lines (you can use a knife, spatula, cake/pastry comb). Squiggles with your fingers, zig zags, wood grains. Be creative whatever you have at home to make a design can be used. OR use a piping bag. Pipe letters, or polka dots, or a piped design. If you do not have a piping bag. Fill a ziplock bag and snip off corner for a homemade version of one.
Preparing the MOLD for entremets
You can use any type of mold. I would suggest:
1. Start with a large piece of parchment paper laid on a very flat baking sheet. Then a large piece of cling wrap over the parchment paper. Place a spring form pan ring, with the base removed, over the cling wrap and pull the cling wrap tightly up on the outside of the mold. Line the inside of the ring with a curled piece of parchment paper overlapping top edge by ½ inch. CUT the parchment paper to the TOP OF THE MOLD. It will be easier to smooth the top of the cake.
3. Once your height is measured, then you can cut the cake into equal strips, of height and length. (Use a very sharp paring knife and ruler.)
4. Make sure your strips are cut cleanly and ends are cut perfectly straight. Press the cake strips inside of the mold, decorative side facing out. Once wrapped inside the mold, overlap your ends slightly. You want your Joconde to fit very tightly pressed up to the sides of the mold. Then gently push and press the ends to meet together to make a seamless cake. The cake is very flexible so you can push it into place. You can use more than one piece to "wrap "your mold, if one cut piece is not long enough.
5. The mold is done, and ready to fill.
*Note: If not ready to use. Lay cake kept whole or already cut into strips, on a flat surface, wrap in parchment and several layers of cling wrap and freeze.

In a radio interview I saw on YouTube, Christian apologist William Lane Craig said he didn't bucked up with modern science. (the question was how hold did Craig think the universe was and he responded that science says around 13.7 BYA). While this may sound impressive to Christians that want to desperately believe without sounding like idiots, I do not think its true.
Here is an outline of a few things that I am talking about:
Craig: Intelligent Design is viable and evolution by natural selection is a massive extrapolation with no data to support it. All biologists can point to is finches and peppered moths.
Mainsstream science: Evolution by natural selection is supported by mountains of evidence and speciation on several occasions has been observed. Every example of the "evidence" for intelligent design, such as DNA as information and Irreducible complexity, has been debunked in spectacular fashion.
Craig: the A-theory of time is just as plausible as the B-theory. Given this theory, the universe had a beginning.
Mainstream science: the A-theory was dumped at the beginning of the 20th century after the Michelson-Morley experiment pointed to aether not existing. This led physicists, such as Einstein and Kaluza, to a new view of the universe where space and time are interwoven and not separate. This explains lots of things that the A-theory could not, such as the orbit of Mercury, the time kept by atomic clocks flown around the world very fast, and the nature of eclipses. This view has been fleshed out for lay people by Brian Greene, Stephen Hawking, Michio Kaku, and Sean M Carroll. Under the B-theory, the universe never "began to exist."
Craig: something can not pop into being out of nothing (in reference to virtual particles). We know this and we never expect to come home to a horse that popped into existence, whom is defiling our living room.
Mainstream science: no one ever suggested that a large object could pop into existence. horses only appear after billions of years of cosmic and biological evolution and stating the example in this manner is a straw man. Many cosmologists think that we are inside the talked about quantum fluctuation, not that one could happen again, inside this one.
Craig: the universe came out of an infinitely dense point, known as the singularity.
Mainstream science: the people who put out this paper originally, Stephen Hawking and Roger Penrose, have both abandoned this view in favor of the quantum fluctuation that Craig disagrees with. Mainstream science never consensusly accepted this view in the first place.
Craig: the multiverse is a desperate attempt to explain away fine-tuning and violates Occams Razor.
Mainstream science: the multiverse was posited to explain other features of the universe. For example, inflationary theory, which posits a multiverse, wonderfully explains the initial expansion of the universe and the flatness of the universe. It also predicted the heat distribution in the cosmos, which has since been confirmed. Occam's Razor is used to scrape away unnecessary parts, not get rid of that which is ontologically sound.
I am not arguing that Craig is wrong that God exists (although I am an atheist), I am just arguing that he is not in line with mainstream science and that you should be aware of it.
thanks, Greg

I agree, Greg. Often, apologists tend to gravitate towards periods in science that best support their conclusions and ignore or dismiss later developments in the field.
One of the more common examples of this would be the creationists pointing out flaws in the Origin of Species, while acting as if there has been no research done in the field of evolution in the past 150 years and that modern evolutionary theory is identical to what is laid out in Origin.
"The A-theory was dumped at the beginning of the 20th century after the Michelson-Morley experiment pointed to aether not existing. This led physicists, such as Einstein and Kaluza, to a new view of the universe where space and time are interwoven and not separate."
On the contrary, many philosophers of science have noted a return to some form of the aether. Mainly because Einstein's interpretation of the STR was restricted to Empirical Verificationism, which is now rejected!
Karl Popper and James Cushing are two examples. Both point out that quantum theory has caused the re-emergence of the aether. What 19th century physics could not measure, 20th century physics can discover using microwave radiation. It may be that the cosmic background radiation serves as a universal point of reference that Einstein didn't think existed!

Intellectual freedom in Canada: Mark Steyn on censorship
Here :
Sometimes you have to pick the lesser of two evils, and, if it's a choice between offensive gags or massive expansion of state power, no self-respecting citizen should find it difficult working out which is the lesser evil and which is the greater threat. You don't like the President's pathetic "joke"? [about the Special Olympics] Hoot and jeer at him. Obama could use more of that. The best response to his suggestion that his 129 bowling score put him in Special Olympics territory came from the Special Olympics bowler Kolan McConiughey who pointed out he's scored a perfect 300 on three occasions, and he'd be happy to take on Mister Hopeychange any time he wants. That aside, I thought it was a revealing remark: As one of my Quebec readers put it, in Leno veritas. Away from the Telepromptered hopeychangey touchyfeely mush, this President is not cool so much as cold. The PC niceties are skin deep, and this won't be the first time he gives us a glimpse of the harder man underneath. Unlike Clinton, he doesn't feel your pain, and he doesn't care if you know it.Yes, Mark, but Mr. Hopeychange knows perfectly well that it is not clear that Mr. McConiughey will even have the right to live, after Mr. Hopeychange has finished transforming US society into the image of what he wants it to be.
Go here to find out why he might not.

This page explains how to download and install KDE 3.4.x from sources.
To compile KDE you need:
In order to run KDE applications, you need the Qt, arts, and kdelibs packages. For a simple desktop (with a window manager, panel, etc), you will also need kdebase. The other packages contain many other applications by topic: networking, graphics, multimedia, games, utilities, toys, software development, etc.
You can find the Qt library (version 3.3.4) at ftp://ftp.trolltech.com/qt/source/
KDE 3.4.x is available from http://download.kde.org/stable/
Unlike most compiled software, Qt is compiled in the place where it will stay instead of using a 'make install'. Please read the INSTALL instructions in the Qt package. You need to set the QTDIR and KDEDIR to the locations where Qt and KDE will be installed, respectively. Also, append $QTDIR/bin and $KDEDIR/bin to your $PATH and $LD_LIBRARY_PATH. Alternatively, instead of using $LD_LIBRARY_PATH, you may add your Qt and KDE library paths to /etc/ld.so.conf, but don't forget to run ldconfig as root after installing Qt and kdelibs, otherwise configure scripts will fail to find the newly installed libraries!
If your distribution sets $XDG_DATA_DIRS and/or $XDG_CONFIG_DIRS you will want to update them to include the correct $KDEDIR/share/ resp. $KDEDIR/etc/xdg/
bunzip2 qt-x11-3.3.4.tar.bz2 tar xvf qt-x11-3.3.4.tar cd qt-x11-3.3.4 less INSTALL # Set up QTDIR, KDEDIR, PATH, LD_LIBRARY_PATH, XDG_DATA_DIRS and XDG_CONFIG_DIRS cd $QTDIR ./configure -system-zlib -qt-gif -system-libpng \ -system-libjpeg -plugin-imgfmt-mng -thread -no-stl \ -no-xinerama -no-g++-exceptions make
Note that -thread is required (KDE will not run or even compile if you omit it), that -no-xinerama is only if you're not using xinerama, and -no-g++-exceptions is strongly recommended if you're using gcc.
Make sure to compile and install first arts, and afterwards kdelibs before any other packages. Also, if you want to use kdeaddons, it should be compiled last as it requires kdebase, kdemultimedia, etc.
For each KDE package:
bunzip2 <package>.tar.bz2 tar xvf <package>.tar cd <package> ./configure make make install
See the KDE 3.4 Info Page for some common encountered problems when running KDE 3.4.

Kids In Jail - A New Plan
Read the story. Click the "LISTEN" button at the bottom of the page to hear the story. When you are done, click the "NEXT" button.
When young people break the law they are put into a special kind of jail. These jails are for juveniles. Juveniles are people who are young.
It can be very dangerous in these jails. Sometimes the juveniles hurt each other when they are there. Some of the young people even kill themselves. Many adults want the violence in jail to stop.
A group of people think that there is a better way to help the juveniles in jail. They want to put small groups of them in settings that are more like homes. They think that this will help the the young people learn and stay safe.
When juveniles are in these special homes they can get help. Counselors can talk to them about crime and try to teach them that it is bad. Hopefully this will help the young people make better choices when they leave.
Some states have already tried this plan. They say that it has worked. A group of people want to try it in California.
Other people do not think that the homes are a good idea. They are worried that the violent juveniles will be let go and that they will break the law again. These people want anyone who breaks the law to be punished and put in jail.
One man that was in jail when he was young said that he learned bad things there. He was not taught how to make good decisions. He said that he only learned how to become more violent. He does not think jails help juveniles at all.
There are many young people in jail. Adults need to decide how best to help them. Most of the juveniles that are put in jail will break the law again when they are let go. Some people think that by putting them in small group homes it will help the kids become better people.

UAA Challenge a Decade Later
Your challenge, if you choose to accept it, is to reduce undeliverable as addressed (UAA) mail by 50 percent. Okay, those weren't the exact words, but that was the challenge put forward 10 years ago by then-Postmaster General Jack Potter.
At that time UAA mail – undeliverable because of an incomplete, illegible, or incorrect address – totaled more than 10 billion pieces, costing the Postal Service $2 billion annually because it must be forwarded, returned, or treated as waste.

Nonlinear boundary value problems occur in many practical applications in science and engineering. Classical iterative methods require a full linearizion of the nonlinear system. Multi-grid full approximation schemes (FAS) require a directional coarsening to significantly improve the rate of convergence for advection diffusion boundary value problems.
This work reports on the development of an efficient multi-level adaptive scheme for solving nonlinear advection-diffusion boundary value problems. A multi-level solver is proposed using the second generation adaptive wavelet collocation method (AWCM). The solver does not calculate explicitly the Jacobian of the nonlinear system. We have verified numerically that the CPU time remains approximately proportional to the number of grid points if the mesh is refined locally to resolve small scale features of the solution.
A numerical method for passive scalar and self-advection dynamics, Lagrangian rearrangement, is proposed. This fully Lagrangian advection algorithm introduces no artificial numerical dissipation or interpolation of parcel values. In the inviscid limit, it preserves the infinity of Casimir invariants associated with parcel rearrangement. In the two-dimensional case presented here, these invariants are arbitrary C1 functions of the vorticity and concentration fields. The initial parcel centroids are evolved in a Lagrangian frame, using the method of characteristics. At any time this Lagrangian solution may be viewed by projecting it onto an Eulerian grid using a rearrangement map. The resulting rearrangement of initial parcel values is accomplished with a weighted Bresenham algorithm, which identifies quasi-optimal, distributed paths along which chains of parcels are pushed to fill in nearby empty cells. The error introduced by this rearrangement does not propagate to future time steps.
For simplicity, the Lagrangian rearrangement algorithm was initially developed for periodic boundary conditions. In this work we discuss the extension of the method to Dirichlet boundary conditions.
Chemical structures (often represented as graphs) have a number of identifying properties, the most obvious being atoms (vertices) and bonds (edges). Although humans can easily determine whether two structures are the same or similar visually, computational chemical structure identification has proven to be a difficult task. With advances in technology resulting in a drastic increase in the number and rate of structures that are computed, the creation of databases with advanced search capabilities has become a necessity. Consequently, tools that allow for the identification of points of interest and the determination of levels of similarity between multiple structures are becoming increasingly important. Existing chemical structure representation schemes will be discussed in the context of our own topological indices which assign, based on its chemical environment (nearest neighbours), numerical values to each atom and bond in a structure. Such topological indices allow identification of functional groups (specific groups of atoms within a structure that exhibit characteristic chemical behaviour) and will be used to develop substructure search algorithms as used in the pharmaceutical industry to identify drug candidates. Further, easily computed properties of chemical structures have been seen to be useful in assessing similarity.
We consider a nonlinear fourth-order degenerate parabolic partial differential equation which describes the dynamics of an incompressible thin liquid film on the outer surface of a rotating horizontal cylinder in the presence of gravity. The equation contains two nonnegative parameters proportional to gravity and surface tension respectively. These parameters determine a rich variety of regimes which we analyze analytically and numerically.
Realistic (and interesting) mathematical models often involve quantities which vary over disparate time and space scales. Successful simulation necessarily involves a blend of computational techniques and close attention to the details of the interaction between them. In this talk I review two such instances: the solution of boundary layer (or interior layer) problems utilizing fast linear algebra update strategies and recent advances in the development of a 2D Schwarz waveform relaxation moving mesh method.
In 1974, A. R. Curtis, M. J. D. Powell, and J. K. Reid published a seminal paper on the estimation of Jacobian matrices which was later coined as the CPR method. Central to the CPR method is the effective utilization of a priori known sparsity information. It is only recently that the optimal CPR method in its general form is characterized and the theoretical underpinning for the optimality is shown. In this talk we provide an overview of the development of computational techniques and software tools for the estimation of Jacobian matrices over the last 30+ years.
We examine the density and velocity structure of interstellar gas traversed by curved shock waves. We demonstrate mathematically that just a few passages of curved shock waves generically produces a log-normal density PDF. This explains the ubiquity of the log-normal PDF in many different numerical simulations. We also show that subsequent interaction with a spherical blast wave generates a power-law mass distribution at high densities, similar to the Salpeter index for the IMF. Finally, we show that a focused shock produces a downstream flow with energy spectrum exponent a = -2. Subsequent shock passages reduce this slope, achieving a » -5/3 after a few passages. These results suggest that fully-developed turbulence may not be required to explain the observed energy spectrum and density PDF.
On the basis of these mathematical results, we argue that the self-similar spherical blast wave arising from expanding HII regions or stellar winds from massive stars may ultimately be responsible for creating the high mass, power-law, Salpeter-like tail on an otherwise a log-normal density PDF for gas in star forming regions. The IMF arises from the gravitational collapse of sufficiently overdense regions within this PDF. Thus, the composite nature of the IMF-a log-normal plus power-law distribution-is shown to be a natural consequence of shock interaction and feedback from the most massive stars that form in most regions of star formation in the galaxy.
A two-dimensional computer model is developed to simulate free surface flow interaction with a moving body using a fixed-grid system. The two-phase flow model is based on a viscous incompressible two-fluid model with an oscillating circular cylinder. This method is based on a finite volume discretization of the two-dimensional unsteady Navier-Stokes equations and uses improved volume-of-fluid method for the displacement of the free surface. The code validations in special cases show good comparisons with previous experimental and numerical results.
Two fourth-order compact finite difference methods are proposed to solve the one-dimensional Burgers' equation with high Reynolds number. The methods are based on the Hopf-Cole transformation, Richardson's extrapolation and multilevel grids. Numerical experiments are included to demonstrate the efficiency, accuracy, robustness and unconditional stability of the methods.
Symmetric pentadiagonal Toeplitz systems of linear equations arise in many application areas involving finite difference methods with equi-step sizes. Recently, significant advancement has been made into algorithm development for fast parallel scalable solutions for solving diagonally dominant tridiagonal Toeplitz Linear systems as well as in sequentially solving diagonally dominant symmetric pentadiagonal problems using similar fast approaches. In this talk we will introduce two new scalable parallel algorithms for solving symmetric pentadiagonal Toeplitz systems of linear equations based upon parallel techniques used by McNally et al. in A communication-less parallel algorithm for tridiagonal Toeplitz systems (2008) and a sequential algorithm presented by McNally in A Fast Algorithm for Solving Diagonally Dominant Symmetric Pentadiagonal Toeplitz Systems (2008).
The talk discusses an inverse problem for estimating Q-factor of a viscoelastic medium from complex effective modulus. The approach is based on the reconstruction of the spectral measure in the analytic Stieltjes integral representation of the complex effective modulus using Padé approximation. The spectral measure contains information about the relaxation spectrum of the medium and is uniquely determined if the spectral function is known on an arc in the complex plane.
However, the problem of reconstruction of the spectral measure is ill-posed and requires regularization. A discrete [p, q]-Padé approximation of the spectral measure is derived from a constrained least squares minimization problem with regularization. Numerical examples are given to demonstrate the validity of the inversion method.
This is a joint work with Michael P. Lamoureux and Gary Margrave at the University of Calgary.

IRIS gets close up and SaaS-y with accountants
Will the beancounters bite?
Video IRIS Software and Services produces packaged apps that half the UK's accountants use. But continually updating them as regulations change is a pain - so why not provide its software as a service? That's the plan that Accountancy Division CEO Phill Robinson explains to The Reg.
Phill talks about why a stable, profitable software house would want to change the way it does business. In this case study he tells us how he's going to convince 60,000 accountants that it's a good idea.
He also gives us his opinion on the future of SaaS - a subject, as a former CMO of Salesforce.com, he might know something about.

Difficult Opener on Long Island
SOUTHHAMPTON, N.Y. – In a tough season opener, the Yale men's golf team fell to No. 22 Texas A&M on Sept. 7 at The Bridge in Southampton, N.Y.
Coming into the head-to-head dual match, the Elis knew it would be a difficult contest: Texas A&M was ranked 21st in the most recent Golfweek Collegiate Team preseason rankings, while the Bulldogs sat at 138th. The Aggies entered the season on the nation's longest streak of six straight top-15 finishes at the NCAA Championship.
The two teams played two rounds of six, counting the top four scores per round. In the morning round, the Bulldogs shot 316 (+28), with sophomore Joe Willis and senior Sean Gaudette leading the way with a 75 and 76, respectively.
In the afternoon round, the Elis registered a 299 (+11), to finish at +39 overall, behind the Aggies' +4 total. Still, several Yale players made ground in the second round of play, with senior captain Sam Bernstein firing a 70 and junior William Davenport notching up a 73.
"While the Yale squad didn't play as well as they hoped, it was a special opportunity to compete for 36 holes with Texas A&M," said head coach Colin Sheehan '97. "The Aggies represent the highest standard of college golf and we were fortunate to spend time with them in such a relaxed, friendly environment. We will benefit from this experience as we head to St. John's tournament this weekend."
On Sunday, following Saturday's match, members of both teams had breakfast at the home of one of the Yale golfers, before watching the Walker Cup at the National Golf Links. In this year's Walker Cup, the U.S. squad defeated the Great Britain and Ireland team 19-7.
Report filed by James Lu '14, Yale Sports Publicity.

I am SO excited for you that I dropped the F-bomb!! Ubber-cool! Good for you.ReplyDelete
Heidi, kudos to you for spreading the word about goats and urban homesteading, and doing your best to overcome the reporter's urge to play up negatives. Love what you're doing. Best, Karl & Margaret.ReplyDelete
thank you everyone! and i'm so honored that you dropped the "f" bomb in my honor. i'm a huge fan of that word.ReplyDelete
That is sooo cool! Congrats.ReplyDelete
Posted this on our facebook page and now we've got people thinking of getting backyard goats. Wonderful!ReplyDelete
We plan on getting two this year. No clue what kind yet. Any suggestions, let me know. We have 8 acres - 3 of them is wooded, the rest pasture. We'd like them to forage for most of their food if possible. Don't want a milk goat at this time but might want to later. They should be big since we have predators, etc. And most important, they must be gentle with my 19 month old daughter.
When I read the title / subtitle of your blog, I can't help but do it in the movie trailer guy's voice. There's the book, now the coverage in the NYTimes, when's the screenplay coming?ReplyDelete
By the way, feel free to shamelessly promote. This is your blog!
Congrats to you guys for making a difference.
Good article. Great mention of you! I knew you'd become a leader of a revolution...just didn't realize it would contain goats. xoxoReplyDelete

What is not OK?
A long time ago, someone made an Internet video reading an e-mail I had written to them during an e-mail exchange. Everything was fine until they reached a point in the letter where what they were "reading" was not what I had written. I defended myself here at the blog because they were claiming I had made substantially hateful comments about homosexuals. Because it was defamatory and untrue, this expression was slanderous and illegal. And after a few nasty days of TAE working with this individual toward a resolution, the person was finally compelled to remove the content and issue an apology and clarification that I had never issued such comments.

Shame is a powerful and self-damaging emotion, and many books in recent years have tackled the subject in search of its roots. Some experts say shame is "the quintessential negative emotion" because it influences so many different moods and behaviors.
While shame can saturate our emotional life, most sufferers don't understand its roots deep in our psyche. (I wrote about shame in an earlier post, "How Deeper Awareness Can Eliminate Shame," and this is a fresh attempt to help readers understand the affliction.)
Shame is the painful sense that there exists a dark secret or an exposed truth about some vile, disgusting, or pitiful aspect of oneself. The negative emotion sometimes lies dormant until triggered by a situation or event in a person's life. Other times, shame is active within us on a daily basis. Whether we're conscious of our shame or not, it can play an important role in obesity, addictions, depression, crime, violent behaviors, sexual offenses, social phobias, career failure, outbursts of anger, and other self-defeating behaviors.
Shame is often associated with external variables such as our appearance, clothes, social skills, and a sense of physical and mental ineptitude. It's also associated with inner fears such as being exposed as a fake or phony, and experiencing or imagining ridicule over our handling of money.
We have a better chance of overcoming shame when we know where it comes from and how it's produced. Shame itself is a byproduct of forces, drives, and conflicts in our psyche. [Read more…]

Wild Turkey Russell's Reserve, 45% abv (90 Proof), $30/bottle
Russell's Reserve is the gentle giant (only not TOO gentle) of the Wild Turkey lineup with a creamy, sweet nose of brown sugar, heaps of vanilla, toffee, custard, and dusty rye spice. Even some hints of black pepper. The nose is overall balanced, sweet, and moderately spiced. The flavor in the mouth echo's much of the nose with brown sugar, toffee and vanilla flavors playing front and center. Added to that is rich maple syrup and rye spice warming around the mid palate through to the end. In the back of the mouth the dry, toasted oak takes over, leading to a finish of moderate length. Your left with a nice mix of oak, char, sweet toffee, and spice. Delicious, balanced, and just an excellent pour of bourbon. Highly recommended.
Sour Mash Manifesto Rating: 8.8 (Excellent/Outstanding)
Wild Turkey 101 Bourbon, 50.5% abv (101 Proof), $23/bottle
Few bourbon noses disguise what's about to kick you in the mouth more than Wild Turkey 101. Scents of spiced honey, honey suckle, dried apricots, dusty rye notes, light vanilla, and faint char rush forward. Then you take a sip……….and this brooding monster hits your lips like a porcupine running at 60 MPH. Heavy rye and prickly spice start from palate entry on through mid palate, where that honey comes to your rescue, calming things down just enough. The honey and confectioners sugar sweetness really anchor the spice well in your mouth and are ever present. This is one beautifully crafted whiskey that's thick in the mouth and finishes with spicy cinnamon candy and barrel char. What a value – highly recommended!
Sour Mash Manifesto Rating: 9.0 (Excellent/Outstanding)
