City makes layoffs
Mayor Steve Bach once again is reaching for the pink slips. According to sources, the city's planning department will say goodbye to Dick Anderwald, land development review division manager; Michael Maloney, planning assistant; Denise Tortorice, planner II; and Brett Veltman, development review enterprise manager.
Traffic engineering is suffering two losses: Robert Stinson, maintenance technician 2, and David Krauth, principal traffic engineer. Bach's office refused to confirm the layoffs or comment by the Indy's deadline, but sources say an e-mail to staff Friday cited financial needs for the layoffs. That, despite a budget surplus this year. The workers' last day is Oct. 8. — J. Adrian Stanley
Panhandling ban on agenda
City staff will begin discussions Monday with City Council on a possible panhandling ban for downtown Colorado Springs, as well as part of the west side known as No Man's Land. The controversial proposed ordinance was being looked at by the city attorney's office to determine legal viability. City Attorney Chris Melcher is expected to discuss options and make recommendations.
Council's informal meeting — at which no formal action can be taken — is at City Hall, 107 N. Nevada Ave., at 1 p.m., Monday, Aug. 27. — J. Adrian Stanley
Gessler tries new tactic
Secretary of State Scott Gessler thinks he's figured out a novel way to track down Colorado's illegal voters — by form letter. His office is sending out 4,000 letters essentially asking recipients to clarify their citizenship. He told CBS 4 in Denver: "It's a pretty straightforward, friendly letter saying, 'Hey, we need your help to make sure the voter rolls are clean.'"
What happens if people simply choose to ignore these friendly letters? As Elena Nunez, executive director of Colorado Common Cause, points out, no one really knows. Gessler, she says, "has not been transparent about his game plan. I find it concerning that our chief elections officer ... is choosing to focus on questioning voters' eligibility instead of working on policies to ensure all eligible voters are able to participate." — Chet Hardin
Manitou's BAC vandalized
Last Wednesday, an individual or group entered the Business of Art Center's Venue 515, stopped up every sink in the building, taped over floor drains, and let the water flow. BAC executive director Natalie Johnson estimates the damage at about $100,000, and though much will likely be covered by insurance, she figures the BAC should raise about $10,000 to cover ancillary costs. The damage done to artwork includes two paintings worth more than $10,000 each.
Ten businesses renting space in Venue 515 are severely affected, their offices not functional. Manitou police have no concrete leads, but Johnson thinks it might be someone with a mental illness.
Venue 515 could reopen in three to four weeks, and Johnson hopes to have it be better than ever. According to an e-mail blast sent Monday, plans include a "new and improved Gift Gallery" and "coffee/soup/tea bar/café" both slated for Sept. 1.
Stargazers Theatre and Event Center will host a BAC benefit at 7 p.m., Thursday featuring the J. Miller Band. Also, a "Group Hug" event last Saturday netted 30 new memberships and 15 renewals. — Edie Adelstein
Liability cap uncertain
If and when University of Colorado Health takes over city-owned Memorial Health System, the amount in damages that patients can seek might change dramatically. While the Colorado Governmental Immunity Act allows public entities to limit damages to $150,000, Memorial adopted a policy more than a decade ago upping that limit to $1 million.
While $150,000 may be sufficient for some cases, says Springs attorney Drew Wills, it may not be adequate to compensate others, including the families of people who die.
Wills says the Institute of Medicine reports medical errors kill as many as 98,000 Americans every year, and injure many more. "If the Centers for Disease Control (CDC) were to include preventable medical errors as a category, it would be the sixth leading cause of death in America," he writes on the Indy's website.
Asked what liability policy UCH will adopt, spokesman Dan Weaver, via e-mail, says, "UCHealth is still discussing the cap on malpractice payments at Memorial, and no final decision has been made at this time."
Voters will decide Aug. 28 whether to lease Memorial to UCH. — Pam Zubeck
Message from Uganda
In Uganda, a number of voters and lawmakers consider homosexuality a crime punishable by death, and speaking out for the LGBT community is bold and brave. This is why Rev. Mark Kiyimba, a Unitarian Universalist minister in Uganda, was recently awarded The Virginia Uribe Award for Creative Leadership in Human Rights by the U.S.'s National Education Association.
"He's about the only religious voice in Uganda speaking out against the death-to-gays law," says the Rev. Nori Rost of Colorado Springs' All Souls Unitarian Universalist Church. Saturday, Kiyimba will be here for a free screening of the film Homosexuality: Africa's Last Taboo at All Souls, 730 N. Tejon St., and Sunday he will preach at All Souls' 10:30 service. — Chet Hardin
Disability access forum on tap
The Independence Center will host a forum from 2:30 to 4:30 p.m., Thursday, Aug. 30, at the Pikes Peak Area Agency on Aging (14 S. Chestnut St.) to discuss how access for people with disabilities can be improved during emergency situations. People with disabilities and their family members are invited to attend and participate along with emergency officials from Colorado Springs, Manitou Springs and El Paso County.
Organizer Amanda Lunday says the goal is to open a dialogue with city and county officials on how people with disabilities fit into official emergency plans. During the Waldo Canyon Fire, deaf and hard-of-hearing people complained about inconsistent closed-captioning and ASL interpreting during news conferences ("Sign of the times," News, July 11). Lunday also says some evacuation shelters lacked fully wheelchair-accessible facilities. — Wyatt Miller
July jobless numbers rise
The Colorado Center on Law & Policy, a Denver nonprofit that keeps track of U.S Bureau of Labor unemployment statistics, has published its monthly Colorado Recovery Watch report, and the July news was bad.
"Colorado's unemployment rate increased for the fourth consecutive month to 8.3 percent keeping pace with the national unemployment rate which was also 8.3 percent," the report reads. "The July unemployment rate in Colorado is now 4.2 percentage points higher than when the recession began." Colorado still has 55,300 fewer jobs than it did when the recession hit in 2007. — Chet Hardin

While I hammered out the previous post HOLDING THE END IN MY HANDS someone dear to me lay dying.
I have barely been able to hold a pen in my hands. Those times when I reflect on writing my final wishes that evening, I feel selfish. Yet there wasn't a thing I could have done to change the outcome. On that I am certain.
I'd tried to reach them, tried to teach them, sharing my hard-earned wisdom of history, genetics, and unfortunate choices. Never could I share an "I told you so," my head full of old wounds offered to protect them. They already knew. They hurt enough and their wounds, like a protector, I wished would quickly heal. I preferred to dish out "Atta girl, Follow your heart and happiness will follow, Do what you love and love will come to you, Lead with your gut but don't forget your head, Life is short, and a complimentary You rock!".
It's over now. I will not dwell on the proximity I never had. I'm grateful for the times I had her ear, most grateful to have learned she had listened. Selectively. I'm grateful for the times we had together throughout our lives. I've grateful she was brought into this world, so sad to say she is gone.
Thus I see how short life is and I say it often, I'm saying it to you: Life is short. Live every moment as if it is your last. Forgive and forget. Rock on. Follow your heart and happiness will follow.
And for her:

(Published in SPOKES, Fall 2014)
Several years ago I had a great cycling trip in Virginia's northern neck region (east of Fredericksburg, Virginia) and longed to again enjoy its charms. A friend suggested that I consider going even further east and cycle the Virginia's Eastern Shore region. He even offered a regional guide by Kirk Mariner entitled Off 13: The Eastern Shore of Virginia Guidebook. U.S. Route 13 is a four lane highway that runs down the center of the Eastern Shore. Mariner's book focuses on the historical homes, churches, buildings, and scenic waterways that can be viewed from country roads found on the bayside and seaside of Route 13. Once the idea took hold, I contacted my long time cycling friend Joe, and we soon found ourselves heading southeast on our bicycles from my Northern Virginia home. Our route took us along the Potomac River into Virginia's Northern Neck. From there we crossed the Chesapeake Bay and spent a week touring Virginia's Eastern Shore. Finally, we crossed the bay to the Maryland side of the Potomac River for our trip back to Northern Virginia.
Leaving Northern Virginia on a mix of roads and trails, we cycled first to historic Occoquan, Virginia. From there we followed Adventure Cycling's East Coast route to Fredericksburg, Virginia. While it was a long day of 83 miles, we had great weather. Along the way we met 3 cyclists from Kansas also heading into the Northern Neck and a couple from San Francisco who were cycling to New York City.
Fredericksburg dates back to the early 1700 and offered many tourist options. Within 3 miles of our downtown hotel we saw Kenmore Hall (home of George Washington's sister), Mary Washington College, a large farmers market and art festival in a city park, an antique car show in the historic district, and George Washington's childhood home called Ferry Farms. While the Ferry Farm's "home" is not much more than a foundation and an archaeological digging site, the farm has been recreated. Our tour of the farm was self-guided using an IPad that provided detailed information on each point of interest.
Leaving Fredericksburg, we followed Adventure Cycling's Potomac Heritage Route that took us east. Our next stop was at George Washington's birthplace. Unfortunately, none of the original structures remain on this property, but the foundation of the original home had been unearthed. According to our docent, the house on the property is relatively new and is only a replica of a grandiose colonial home. From the foundation's footprint, George's birth home was much smaller and simpler. However, the nearby Stratford Hall, Robert E. Lee's birthplace, was built in the 1730s and is quite grand.
Cycling on country roads often lets an ill prepared cyclist go hungry. That was us about 1:30 in the afternoon. We were famished and quickly approaching Route 301, the major north-south highway through the Northern Neck region. We hoped we would find at least a fast food restaurant near the intersection. When we got to Route 301, however, we did not see any place to eat, just two new car dealerships. Since we needed water, we went into the Dodge dealership. We were directed to a water fountain where we also found some vending machines, which supplied our lunch. We felt like poor relatives as we ate crackers while looking at a $150,000 Dodge Viper sitting on the showroom floor. The day's weather was a little warm, but the ride was still good. We cycled 54 miles, about half of the time on the highways and the other on country roads, as we continued east to Montrose, Virginia.
On our cycling trips, we are often blessed with small gems that just make a day wonderful. Last night, when checking into our motel, the clerk told us that the only two options for breakfast were either going back 2 miles into downtown Montrose, or 13 miles east. The western option was for a local coffee shop that did not open until 8 a.m. The eastern option would take us off our planned country road route and to a fast-food restaurant. Neither option was appealing because we like early starts and country roads. The next morning, looking out of our motel room, we noticed that the gas station/Subway restaurant across the highway was open. Unfortunately, the Subway part of the business did not open until 9 a.m. However, a nice woman told us to "walk 1 block west and go to Johnny Wilkinson's store, because he makes breakfast sandwiches." Johnny not only made us a great breakfast, but also sandwiches to go. Never did a processed ham and cheese sandwich ever taste so good when we stopped for lunch. It surely beat yesterday's lunch out of a vending machine. We had no idea why the motel clerk did not offer this option to us.
Since our planned ride to Reedville, Virginia, was relatively short, we decided to go 5 miles off route and visit the Athena Winery. There Ruth, one of the owners, told us that they have been growing grapes for 13 years. She admitted that it took a while for them to produce good wine. We sampled each of their wines and purchased a bottle for later. While at the winery we found 2 entertaining Killdeer birds. They built their nest in the gravel right next to the parking lot. When we got close, the bird on the nest would spread her trail feathers and the other would hop away and lie on its back and flap its wings as if it were injured. Ruth told us that these birds have been building their nest in the same spot for years and entertaining her guests. You would think that they would move away from all the commotion of the parking lot, but I guess they just like to people watch.
In Reedville, we stayed at the Grandview B&B that was just a few miles from where we would meet our boat the next morning. The B&B's name is well deserved with its view of the bay. In the "it's a small world," our hostess grew up in Falls Church several houses away from the home where I live. The Grandview's hospitality was wonderful and worthy of another visit.
We had a short bike ride from our B&B to where our chartered boat picked us up for the ride to the Eastern Shore. The boat, Joyce Marie II, is a 36 feet long fiberglass boat with a 4 foot draft. According to our characterized by a sharp bow that quickly becomes a flat V shape moving aft along the bottom of the hull. It has a small cabin structure and a large open work area aft. It is the traditional boat used by watermen for everything from crabbing and oystering, to catching fish.captain, Mark Crockett, the boat was built in the traditional Chesapeake Bay deadrise style. A deadrise style boat is
The Bay was very choppy and our ride was rough so we appreciated a several hour layover on Tangier Island. Not only did it give us a chance to regain our land legs, it also allowed us to tour the island. The English settlement dates back to the 1600s, but Native Americans occupied the island long before. The island currently supports about 450 people and its economy is based on tourism, crabs, and oysters. Mark lives on the island and operates a passenger ferry service between the island and town of Onancock, on Virginia's Eastern Shore. He was born on the island and has lived there all his 55 years. He told us that he is a fifth generation Crockett on the island. Looking at how low the land was in relation to the water level, I wonder just how long the island will survive.
We arrived on the Eastern Shore in the early afternoon and cycled to our motel in nearby Onley, Virginia. After dropping off our panniers, we toured Onancock and some of the surrounding country side. With views of the old homes and waterways, our short ride was a precursor of what was to come.
Virginia's Eastern Shore is about 70 miles long and 10 miles wide. Cycling it is flat and easy, with the high point being about 60 feet above sea level. We started our tour by heading south on the bayside of the Eastern Shore. Much of Virginia's Eastern Shore is very rural with farms, plant nurseries, fishing villages, and small towns. We varied our route to include trips to the water's edge and through the small
communities. While many of the old houses and churches we saw were interesting, we were not sure why some were included and others excluded from our guidebook. Somewhat disappointing were the houses and churches that were covered in aluminum siding. I understand the necessity for preservation and reduced maintenance, but the structures lost much of their appeal with the addition of modern siding.

Somewhat disappointing were the houses and churches that were covered in aluminum siding. I understand the necessity for preservation and reduced maintenance, but the structures lost much of their appeal with the addition of modern siding.
Our end point for the first day was the Holiday Inn Express, in Exmore, Virginia. Following Route 13, Exmore is only 13 miles away. However, our trip on the bayside roads was 52 miles long. This was typical of our "off 13" mileage. If we wanted to get somewhere fast, Route 13 would have been the way. However, fast was not our goal.
The next day we continued south down the bayside to Machipongo, Virginia where the bayside route ended. From there we looped south on the seaside to Oyster, Virginia. Oyster is a fishing village on seaside, but it is not on the ocean. With the barrier islands, the ocean is not easily accessible on Virginia's Eastern Shore. After spending some time watching the fishermen we headed back to Exmore. We cycled 60 miles and ended up back at the same Exmore motel.
The following morning started with "pea soup thick" fog that definitely impacted the quantity and quality of our photographs. However, we found a few interesting things. The first was supposed to have been miles away on yesterday's route. However, we found the Cobb Railway Station in downtown Exmore. The station had been recently moved and was undergoing renovations. Nearby, we also saw an Eastern Shore Railroad caboose, the only remains of that railroad we found.
As the fog lifted we entered the town of Accomac, Virginia There we saw hundreds of old homes, some of which dated back to the early 1700s. According to our guidebook, Accomac is so historic that almost the whole town is included as a historic district. The town dates back to the 1600's when it was chosen for the county seat. Near noon we arrived in the town of Atlantic, Virginia, one of the few "off 13" towns that had a restaurant. The town was also home to Marshall Manufacturing Company, one of the few places on the Chesapeake Bay that makes wire-mesh crab pots.
Later in the day we stopped at NASA's Wallops Island. Wallops Flight Facility was established in 1945 as a center for aeronautic research. We had timed our Eastern Shore visit to witness a rocket launch, but it was delayed beyond our stay. We spent an hour touring its visitor's center but were not sure if we stayed so long because the exhibits were that interesting, or if the air conditioning was just so nice.
We reached Chincoteague in the afternoon and dropped our gear at our motel before cycling out to Assateague Island and visiting the National Seashore National Park and the island's 1833 lighthouse. From there we continued east to the Atlantic Ocean. Assateague is one of the few places where the ocean is accessible on Virginia's Eastern Shore. I waded into the ocean to satisfy some symbolic notion of dipping my toes into the water at our most eastern spot.
The next day, we cycled a 50 mile loop from Chincoteague that took us north to Maryland, then west to the bayside, before heading back east. Our first stop into history was Horntown. According to our guide book, Horntown "is not only faded, it is actually disappearing…Once one of the largest communities on the Shore..." It was interesting to imagine the town as a large vibrant community. We next headed to the "marrying tree" where Virginia couples "stepped over the line" to take advantage of Maryland's younger marrying age. While the tree was not that interesting, we got there on a serpentine road that took us back and forth between the two states several times in a few hundred yards. Mostly we cycled through farm lands and forests where we made several additional stops at historic homes and peaceful waterways.
Our time on the Eastern Shore was quickly drawing to a close. We had to get back to Onancock, Virginia early the next morning, to catch our boat. We wanted to leave our Chincoteague motel at 6 a.m. to beat the day's forecasted 95 degree temperature. However, the motel desk clerk said that breakfast would not be set out until 7 a.m. As we were leaving, she decided to break the rules and give us some food. We were initially flattered that she would do this for 2 old (but good looking) guys, until we realized that she just wanted someone to talk to. Among many other things, we heard about her first and only bike ride that was 7 miles and her first and only camping trip where everyone got sick. Despite all the talk, she was a real sweetie and provided a good breakfast.
From our motel we headed west to get on the bayside roads that would take us south. Mostly, we cycled through rural farm lands, wet lands, and swampy forests. The only town on our nearly 60 mile journey was Parksley, VA, where we had lunch and visited the Eastern Shore Railroad Museum. The museum offered several examples of rail cars that traveled the Eastern Shore, but did not have any of the Eastern Shore Railroad. Our destination was back to the motel in Onley, Virginia. Onley was one of several Eastern Shore towns that sprang up along the railroad in the mid-1880. Because of its location, the village was originally known as Crossroads. We were told that Onley is currently Virginia's largest commercial area on the Eastern Shore and recently welcomed the only Walmart.
As we waited for our boat to depart from Onancock, Virginia for Point Lookout, Maryland, we got another glimpse of "island life". Mark, our captain, had brought his dog with him from Tangier. The dog was injured and needed to have veterinarian care. While we waited for Mark's return, Norwood, one of his buddies showed up. Norwood was born on Smith Island but now lives on Tangier Island. He is responsible for maintaining the underwater electric cable that powers Tangier. He said that both he and Mark have cars in Chrisfield, Maryland, so they can get around when on the mainland. However, neither had a car in Onancock and Mark had to have someone pick him up and take him and his dog to the vet. Norwood likened living on an island to living on a farm. He said that, instead of driving to town, islanders take a boat. I understand the analogy but think it a little weak when you try comparing walking from a farm to swimming from an island. We also met Bonnie who shops for island residents, and brings the items to Mark's boat when he is in Onancock.
We arrived in Point Lookout at noon and started cycling in the heat of the day. We made several stops for drinks and to take a few pictures in St. Mary's, MD. St. Mary's was Maryland's first capital and is home to St. Mary's college. After that we pushed for a total of 62 miles in temperatures that hit the high 90s. The last 9 miles into LaPlata, Maryland were on Route 301. We caught a tail wind that allowed us to fly. Even with a 5 mile stretch that was milled into a bumpy mess, we traveled at 18 to 20 mph.
We left LaPlata, MD at 6 in morning to try to beat the heat, which was again predicted to be in the high 90s. Our route took us over country roads, which unfortunately, were filled with early morning commuter traffic. However, once we reached National Harbor, Maryland, we were on bike trails that offered a very relaxed ride. We crossed the Potomac River on the Wilson Bridge bike trail. In Virginia, we took the George Washington Trail to National Airport, the Four Mile Run Trail to Sherlington, and finally the Washington and Old Dominion Trail to Falls Church. Our trip covered 650 miles by bike and 70 miles by boat over 12 days. Our daily blog, photos, and routes can be seen at http://chesapeakebaybybike.blogspot.com/.

Product Description
Impressionists on the Water Coloring Book features sixteen paintings by famous Impressionist artists. All of the paintings include bodies of water: boats skimming along sun-dappled rivers, houses by the sea, a beautiful lily pond (painted by Claude Monet in his own backyard!). The original paintings are shown as small pictures on the inside front and back covers. When you color in these pictures, you can either try to copy the original colors and style or come up with your own. Included are some blank pages, so you can create your own works of art. You might try going outside, as the Impressionists did, and coloring the light, shadows, and reflections you see!
One forty-eight page 8½ x 11 in. book with sixteen images to color. Each illustration is reproduced in a small, color version of the original artwork and as a full-page black line drawing.

Warm and creamy, this breakfast dish has the coziness of steel-cut oats along with the protein punch of quinoa. We like to top ours with honey-soaked blackberries, tart Granny Smith Apples, toasted pecans and fresh mint, but feel free to use whatever fruits and nuts you have on hand. Slideshow: More Quinoa Recipes
How to Make It
Preheat the oven to 350°. Spread the pecans in a pie plate and bake for about 10 minutes, until toasted and fragrant. Let cool slightly, then coarsely chop.
In a medium microwave-safe bowl, heat the honey with 1 tablespoon of water at high power until steaming, about 30 seconds. Add the blackberries and stir gently to coat. Let stand at room temperature for 10 minutes.
In a medium saucepan, melt the butter over moderate heat. Add the quinoa and cooking, stirring occasionally, until fragrant and beginning to pop, about 3 minutes. Add 1 1/4 cups of the milk along with the brown sugar, salt, cinnamon and 1 cup of water and bring to a boil over moderate heat. Reduce the heat to low, cover and simmer gently for15 minutes. (There may still be some water not yet absorbed.) Remove the pan from the heat, keep it covered and let stand for 5 minutes, until all of the liquid has been absorbed. Gently fluff the quinoa.
Stir the remaining 1 cup of milk into the quinoa and cook, stirring occasionally, until warm, thick and creamy, about 3 minutes. Spoon the quinoa into bowls and top with the blackberries and their juices along with the apple and toasted pecans. Garnish with torn mint and serve.

I tried several different ways to install VMware Tools on Kubuntu 9.04 there are many different instructions out there and some worked and some did not. I was somewhat successful with these steps. Fundamentally all the information that you need is on this page, but some of it is in the comments. I've tried to make this more concise.
I am using VMware Fusion Version 2.04. I don't know if this will work on any other versions as I don't have any other versions to test it with. I also assume that it'll work on Ubuntu 9.04 but I didn't try that. This assumes that you already have Kubuntu installed and that you have root access.
I like to work at the command line so open a terminal session and go through these steps.
First we need to make sure that we have all the latest packages.
$ sudo apt-get update
$ sudo apt-get upgrade
Then from the "Virtual Machine" menu in VMWare select "Install VMWare Tools." This will connect a virtual CD Rom to the guest OS that has the VMWare Tools on it. Copy the file VMwareTools-7.9.3.-xxx to your home directory and unarchive it with…
$ tar -xzvf VMwareTools-7.9.3*
Now we need to change one file in the distribution.
$ cd vmware-tools-distrib/lib/modules/source
$ tar -xvf vmhgfs.tar
$ cd vmhgfs-only
$ sudo kate page.c
Somewhere around line 867 you'll find a line that looks like this…
page = __grab_cache_page(mapping, index);
…change it to look like this…
page = grab_cache_page_write_begin(mapping, index, flags);
Save the file and then go back to the Konsole and type this…
$ cd ..
$ rm vmhgfs.tar
$ tar -cvf vmhgfs.tar vmhgfs-only
$ cd ../../..
$ sudo ./vmware-install.pl
All of the questions can be answered by hitting the enter key except for the default resolution. At this point the mouse driver won't work right so install the Xorg virtual mouse driver with this little command.
$ sudo apt-get install xserver-xorg-input-vmmouse
Now reboot and all should work.
You can use this command to bring up the settings editor for VMware Tools.
$ sudo /usr/bin/vmware-toolbox

text: It used to amaze me how little attention printers paid to the all important squeegee. Today it seems that more printers "get it". The use of triple durometer squeegee is commonplace in print shops as are squeegee sharpeners and I even hear printers talking about replacing squeegee blades on a regular basis (what a concept!). A few years back I wrote a lengthy piece for ScreenWeb to enlighten those whom fail or refuse to understand. Hope you enjoy the article and if you really want to geek out, our friends at Apolan can help.

UFC bantamweight Jessica Eye has been suspended after testing positive for a banned substance following her UFC 166 victory over Sarah Kaufman.
Initially, it had been reported that her bout with Sarah Kaufman from UFC 166 had been changed to a No Decision with no reason given.
Eye, who was scheduled to fight Alexis Davis at next month's UFC 170, was placed on probation and fined $1,875. The Texas Department of Licensing and Regulation came to its decision after reviewing Eye's pre-fight drug test, which was found to have a blood-thinning medication she regularly uses. An announcement was not made as to why the TDLR released its findings nearly three months after the fight.
Following the decision to overturn her victory into a no-decision, Eye took to Twitter and refuted claims that she was suspended.
I PROMISE YOU I AM NOT SUSPEND and WILL BE FIGHTING FEB 22 as scheduled !! @UFC don't believe everything you read online !
— Jessica Eye (@jessicaevileye) February 3, 2014
If Eye does not adhere to the conditions of her Administrative Order, her probation will be elevated to a suspension. For now, Eye still faces Davis on Feb. 22. as part of the event's preliminary card. The winner may receive a title shot, depending on Cat Zingano's return date.
On Saturday, Kaufman reveled in the TDLR's choice. Despite her loss, she sits one spot ahead of Eye in the UFC women's bantamweight rankings.
A BIG MORNING! Texas commission just overturned the result of me vs Eye to a No Decision! Not my win, but not an undeserved loss either…
— Sarah Kaufman (@mmasarah) February 1, 2014
The UFC has not commented on the situation or whether changes will be made to the UFC 170 card.

Guard respawn bug
Having just experienced this I thought I would add that you do go OOC after the guards die so you can quickly heal, bandage, drink or rez to help with the "mana-intensive" aspect mentioned in the article. I thought about also lowering the "6 times" amount to 2 each as that is what we experienced. Perhaps it has been altered slightly. -griffinmills 08:38pm 07/20/2008
Aanti-aircraft method in Heroic
I have just killed this silly boss for the first time in Heroic mode. What we did was exactly anti-aircraft method. Nazan lands when he is at 30%, and we killed him in a few seconds after that. Then we killed Vazruden. It was easymode really. So it seems that this tactic actually works in Heroic. And works much better than other ones. --Drundia 10:21, 13 April 2007 (EDT)
2.1 difficulty increase?
Anyone else noticed Nazz dropping firebombs only on clothies in 2.1? Every time I've tried facing him (using any strategy), my warlock always gets personally targeted by Nazz' firebombs, and nobody else... which results in me having to use my healthstone in the first few seconds of the fight because I can't get clear without taking a lot of damage.
Oh, and the fact that since MC has become obselete, nobody carries fire resist gear anymore. At least nobody in any of the parties I've been with. --Darth603 04:04, 9 July 2007 (UTC)
Anyone have any idea what this does other then make a sound? A post on the WoW forums a player claims it makes it so the chest doesnt appear when blown in battle.--Azbulldog 01:36, 26 July 2007 (UTC)

Gabriel Torres writing for Hardware Secrets has just published an in-depth first look at our entry-level X79 offering, the GIGABYTE X79-UD3. Obviously the X79-UD3 model is aimed more cost conscious X79 platform builders, but as well as offering great value, we've also tried hard to offer a board with a complete range of features. Here's a sample of what Gabriel had to say:
"Today there are only three socket 2011 motherboards cheaper than the Gigabyte X79-UD3, the ASRock X79 Extreme-4M (USD 220), the MSI X79MA-GD45 (USD 230), and the ASRock Extreme4 (USD 235), and all of them have fewer features and don't come with four PCI Express x16 slots. True competitors from MSI and ASUS cost more, making the Gigabyte X79-UD3 your best option if you want to save money while building a PC based on a Core i7 "Sandy Bridge-E" processor with four video cards and yet have a high-quality motherboard with lots of extra options."
You can catch the full article here on Hardware Secrets.
More details about the GIGABYTE X79-UD3 can be found here.

I am always afraid of questions for which I don't have answer. And in today's world of information, the least said is "I will get back to you". What if, even 'Google' cannot give you the answer to the question asked to you.
Oh yes, if we think, we are safe in the hands of information all over, please do remember the age-old liner in information technology : Information = Processed Data. What if there is no data? Obviously 'no answer'.
When I was reading the articles commemorating the 15 years of Google, first my thought was about the world without Google. Then, it went towards, the answers Google give us: Whether it's the truth or the answer Google wants us to have. With my third thought, I shocked myself. Can Google offer answers to questions whose answer lies within humans, not in any paper, records of web pages. Let me throw a question for you.
I hope the lightning stuck where it should. Trust me, even I never thought this bizarre idea of knowing thee when you know the entire world. I started my trial of back tracking my family tree. Winding and unwinding, the chain of relations made me wonder in the labyrinth of names,faces and faces with no names. So, i decided to take up this venture for my future generations. Because, my past and history cannot be foretold by any search engines, unless I explore. Unless, I speak to all the living links in my family and question their memories.
That's me on a mission, what about you?

More Harry Potter and the Cursed Child cast photos have been released, this time revealing how Draco Malfoy looks now he's hit middle age, and he's sporting a pretty unexpected hairstyle.
It seems that the apple doesn't fall far from the tree and Draco's taken after his dear old dad, growing out his golden locks. Unlike Lucius, however, Draco shockingly wears his hair in a ponytail – maybe it's a mid-life crisis?
The former high school bully also sports a rather fetching goatee adding to his menace, but the biggest reveal may concern his son Scorpius, who seems to buck the trend of Malfoys being royal gits.
Instead of looking cocky and smirking like his father and grandfather, Scorpius looks far more nervous and bewildered, could we about to get our first sympathetic Slytherin?
The actor playing the latest Malfoy, Anthony Boyle, explained on Pottermore why he looks quite so anxious.
He said:
He's wearing the official Hogwarts uniform before you go and get sorted into your house. He's a Malfoy so his clothes should be really expensive but quite constraining to make him feel a bit awkward.
The final photo shows Draco and Scorpius together and the younger Malfoy definitely looks unhappy about something.
Scorpius shouldn't worry too much though – we're sure everyone's going to love the latest entry in the Harry Potter canon.

too many hours
for the denouement:
all the knots untangled
loose threads
woven neatly
bound with silk ribbons
pink and gold
and a card
May 30, 2009
I remember when I first heard the word denouement in high school. I loved the smooth French sounds, the soft ending of the word. I loved its meaning even more than its sound. The denouement is my favorite point of every novel, where all the little pieces of the puzzle are explained, all the relationships sorted out, and the story is finally put to rest. Problem is, I expected life to be like that, to have that moment, when all the story lines are laid to rest, all the questions answered.
Carolyn G. Heilbrun, professor of English at Columbia University and writer of mysteries under the name Amanda Cross, wrote the following in her work Writing a Woman's Life:
"We women have lived too much with closure: 'If he notices me, if I marry him, if I get into college, if I get this work accepted, if I get that job' -- there always seemed to loom the possibility of something being over, settled, sweeping clear the way for contentment. This is the delusion of a passive life. When hope for closure is abandoned, when there is an end to fantasy, adventure for women will begin."I think however, this false desire for closure lies in many men as well as women. Heilbrun herself, in the end was unable to let it go, and seeking the ultimate closure ended her own life.
I have found in my own life, that just when I imagine my story is winding down and the denouement is upon me, that something new and fresh falls from the sky -- sometimes scary, sometimes sad, sometimes difficult, but often extraordinarily exciting and challenging.

Last week I took time off to recharge batteries right before the Chinese Lunar New Year. Spent nearly a week in glorious Phuket, Thailand. A huge portion of the days were involved reading under an umbrella, hat, Ray Ban sunglasses, doing afternoon walks on the sand and feeling very grateful. While on vacation, I used lots of Clarins SPF 40 and 50, Clarins After Sun lotion, Ultra Swim Chlorine Removal shampoo and Aveda conditioner, the UVB rays were powerful. Every day I was like the sun police trying to keep my tribe protected, reminding them to re-apply sun lotion like a mantra. There were people around me literally baking, most were European folk.
The JW Marriott resort has a lovely spa called Mandara, of course I paid a visit to take advantage of the treatments (more on this later). On the day before our departure back to Singapore, I opted for a Zoya pedicure right on the beach (brought my own polish and top coat), it cost about $10 plus the tip. The hotel was one of the nicest places I've ever stayed in Asia, it was our first time away since April last year.
The image above is in the afternoon at the beach in Mai Khao, Phuket, I call it The Good Life.

Mr. Esiri, veteran actor and father of hip hop sensation, Dr. Sid, died on Wednesday.
The National Chairman of the Progressive People's Alliance, PPA, Sam Nkire, has described the death of veteran actor, Justus Esiri, as a great loss to the entertainment world.
In a statement signed on Thursday in Abuja, Mr. Nkire described Mr. Esiri as his personal friend of many decades.
He described the actor's death as a great loss to the industry and Nigeria in particular saying "we have lost one of the finest entertainers in Africa."
Mr. Nkire said that Mr. Esiri's fans, friends, and family should take solace in the fact that he lived a fulfilled life and touched many lives through his chosen profession.
The PPA Chairman said, "even though, Esiri and I do not have much in common in terms of professional calling, but we lately found common ground in many areas such as religion."
He said that Mr. Esiri would be missed for his jokes, humility and goodness.
Mr. Esiri died on February 20, at the age of 71; he attended Urohobo College, Effurun in Delta and later went to Germany to study engineering where he developed an interest for theatre.
He began his acting career on stage in Germany. He was the only Nigerian male performing on stage in Germany between 1968 and 1969.
He also worked for Voice of Nigeria, VON, German Service, as a translator.
He was performing on stage in Germany when a delegation from Nigeria invited him to perform in Nigeria in a government sponsored programme.
When he came back to Nigeria, he never went back to Europe.
His fame was launched widely for his role in the ever popular African TV series, the Village Headmaster, where he played the "Headmaster".
Declared one of the strong men of the African film industry, Justus Esiri has indeed earned his fame.
Mr. Esiri holds the national honour of Member of the Order of the Niger, MON.

Civil rights groups have expressed outrage over the action figures based on characters from the Quentin Tarantino revenge opus Django Unchained.
The National Action Network, founded by the Rev. Al Shapton, is calling for a national boycott of the collectibles. Rev. K.W. Tulloss, the president of the NAC Los Angeles chapter, told the New York Daily News the following:
"Selling this doll is highly offensive to our ancestors and the African American community. The movie is for adults, but these are action figures that appeal to children. We don't want other individuals to utilize them for their entertainment, to make a mockery of slavery."
Najee Ali from Project Islamic Hope, according to AP, said that the action figures are "a slap in the face of our ancestors. We were outraged. We feel that it trivializes the horrors of slavery and what African Americans experienced." Ali also said according to the Daily News that he enjoyed the movie but added that "we cannot support this type of commercialization."
As The Inquisitrpreviously reported, the line of 8-inch action figures which sell for about $35 each on Amazon includes Django (Jamie Foxx), Dr. King Schultz (Christoph Waltz), Calvin Candie (Leonardo DiCaprio), Butch (James Remar), Stephen (Samuel L. Jackson), and Broomhilda (Kerry Washington).
According to ABC News, it's not clear whether there is even licensing in place for the Django Unchained dolls:
"It's not known whether the Weinstein Company, the movie studio behind Django, granted a license for the dolls to the manufacturer. Neither responded immediately to ABCNews.com's request for comment."
Various news outlets have reported that there is a petition drive at change.org asking Quentin Tarantino to immediately stop the sale and distribution of the action figures, but a recent check of the website appears to indicate no such petition.
Watch an ABC News report on the controversy over the Django Unchained action figures:

Wednesday's unrest came a day after the country's Supreme Court sentenced Abdul Quader Molla of the Jamaat-e-Islami party to hang for committing crimes against humanity during the nation's 1971 independence war against Pakistan. Al Jazeera spoke to Bangladeshis from both sides of the debate about their views on the verdict. Anti-verdict Barrister Abdur Razzak, defence lawyer and leader of Jamayate Islami Bangladesh The Supreme Court verdict is wrong. We are aggrieved, surprised and we think the verdict is against justice. My client (Molla) will file a review petition within 30 days after getting the full text of the apex court judgement. According to the council statements, the death sentence of Molla will not be executed until the review petition is disposed. It is unprecedented in the history of Bangladesh that the Supreme Court has awarded death penalty to Molla. According to Supreme Court rule, a convict can file a review petition against any court verdict. Khandakar Mahbub uddin Ahmed, defence lawer and senior BNP official I want to say that after the conclusion of the trial, the government allowed the amendment. It's a trial court, its verdict should not be changed. This is the first time in South Asian judicial history that a trial court sentence has been enhanced by a Supreme Court. We are told that this tribunal does not conform to international standards. Justice has been denied. As I have clearly stated, the verdict ought to have stayed as a life sentence - a death sentence is entirely unjustified and illegal. But we must also moderate ourselves. When some peoples shout "we want hanging, we want hanging" …it's a reflection of blind rage. Mohammad Jamal Uddin, school teacher Mohammad Jamal Uddi (right) [Sumi Khan/Al Jazeera] It's very clear, the verdict is under pressure from the people's movement. As a result, the verdict is preposterous. After the verdict of international crime tribunal, why be compelled to include an amendment? The protests prompted parliament to amend a law which allowed the state to appeal against any verdict reached by the war crimes tribunal. This meant that alongside Mullah's appeal against his verdict, the Supreme Court also heard an appeal from the government that wanted a tougher sentence handed down. It sets a bad precedent for our current governement. Israfil Hossain, school teacher Isfrail Hossain [Sumi Khan/Al Jazeera] It is difficult to say, but the verdict of Supreme court is not acceptable to me. I think under tremendous pressure of people, the government forced an amendment to the law. The government should not have bent to mob pressure. Pro-verdict Mohammad Faruq Islam, founder of Super Bairkadi girls Dakhil Madrasa I don't think any legal process is applicable for these types of criminals. They raped, killed and acted totally inhumane, which is totally forbidden in Islam. Legal processes are very time consuming, I think. So they should be hanged openly in public in the capital city of Dhaka, which will be exemplary under our Islamic rules. Nayeem Yaar Khan, lecturer in Udayan school & college, Dhaka Nayeem Yaar Khan [Sumi Khan/Al Jazeera] The rapist and killer should be hanged. I'm happy with the verdict. Lots of people were raped and killed by Quader Molla. His heinous crimes titled him Molla 'Butcher' in 1971. We cannot forget the things he has done. Golam Afif Tipu, chief prosecuter The verdict was not a result from the pressure of people or a movement. The verdict was strictly allowed through the law. By no stretch of the imagination, such a situation can be turned or deemed to be the product of pressure from secularism. Rather, the law gives clear and unambiguous language. The conclusion to give the desired verdict of a death sentence in place of an erroneous appeal is adequate. Saiful Islam, prosecutor Prosecuter Saiful Islam [Sumi Khan/Al Jazeera] The judgement and order delivered by the tribunal, in the case of chief prosecutor vs Abdul Quader Molla, proved and affirmed all the charges without a reasonable doubt. But in the part of the conviction without any adequate explanation was the demand for the convicted be sentenced for life imprisonment. The International Critminial Act of 1973 states that the convicted be setenced to the highest punishment - capital punishment. SOURCE: Al Jazeera ABOUT THE AUTHOR Sumi Khan Bangladesh Pakistan

In nature everything is recycled. Rotten leaves are a feast to wood lice and earthworms. Animal dung is food for hungry beetles, returning nutrients to the soil for new plants to grow.
We are the only species that collects and disposes of waste rather than turning it into a resource. As I am writing my new book, I am very aware of the amount of paper I use everyday and the number of trees cut down to turn the precious fibres into paper. Did you know that about a third of all trees chopped down are used to make paper? Could there be a different way?
Creative Papers, in Tasmania, has come up with an imaginative way of using the waste of local animals to make paper. They collect the droppings of wombats that live in the Cradle Mountain wildlife park. Wombats only eat plants and their droppings contain a lot of fibres, the raw material for papermaking. Every day, the droppings are collected by the park's keeper and sent to the factory. The waste is then boiled for many hours to extract the fibres and these are combined with cotton fibres from recycled fabric to produce paper. Today, entrepreneurs around the world are turning droppings from elephants, sheep, pandas and even reindeer into luxurious handmade paper. However, this is all being done at a very small scale, mainly for the tourist industry. Hopefully, as more and more companies think creatively about locally available resources, more and more trees will be saved. Talking about wombat poo paper is a fun, engaging way to make children think creatively about the concept of waste as a resource!

- 12 FF76 - Undocumented (00h) - (Read Only)
- 13 FF77 - Undocumented (00h) - (Read Only)
This chapter describes only CGB (Color Gameboy) registers that didn't fit into normal categories - most CGB registers are described in the chapter about Video Display (Color Palettes, VRAM Bank, VRAM DMA Transfers, and changed meaning of Bit 0 of LCDC Control register). Also, a changed bit is noted in the chapter about the Serial/Link port.
Unlocking CGB functions
When using any CGB registers (including those in the Video/Link chapters), you must first unlock CGB features by changing byte 0143h in the cartridge header. Typically use a value of 80h for games which support both CGB and monochrome gameboys, and C0h for games which work on CGBs only. Otherwise, the CGB will operate in monochrome "Non CGB" compatibility mode.
Detecting CGB (and GBA) functions
CGB hardware can be detected by examing the CPU accumulator (A-register) directly after startup. A value of 11h indicates CGB (or GBA) hardware, if so, CGB functions can be used (if unlocked, see above). When A=11h, you may also examine Bit 0 of the CPUs B-Register to separate between CGB (bit cleared) and GBA (bit set), by that detection it is possible to use 'repaired' color palette data matching for GBA displays.
FF4D - KEY1 - CGB Mode Only - Prepare Speed Switch
Bit 7: Current Speed (0=Normal, 1=Double) (Read Only) Bit 0: Prepare Speed Switch (0=No, 1=Prepare) (Read/Write)
This register is used to prepare the gameboy to switch between CGB Double Speed Mode and Normal Speed Mode. The actual speed switch is performed by executing a STOP command after Bit 0 has been set. After that Bit 0 will be cleared automatically, and the gameboy will operate at the 'other' speed. The recommended speed switching procedure in pseudo code would be:
IF KEY1_BIT7 <> DESIRED_SPEED THEN IE=00H ;(FFFF)=00h JOYP=30H ;(FF00)=30h KEY1=01H ;(FF4D)=01h STOP ;STOP ENDIF
The CGB is operating in Normal Speed Mode when it is turned on. Note that using the Double Speed Mode increases the power consumption, it would be recommended to use Single Speed whenever possible. However, the display will flicker (white) for a moment during speed switches, so this cannot be done permanentely. In Double Speed Mode the following will operate twice as fast as normal:
The CPU (2.10 MHz, 1 Cycle = approx. 0.5us) Timer and Divider Registers Serial Port (Link Cable) DMA Transfer to OAM
And the following will keep operating as usual:
LCD Video Controller HDMA Transfer to VRAM All Sound Timings and Frequencies
FF56 - RP - CGB Mode Only - Infrared Communications Port
This register allows to input and output data through the CGBs built-in Infrared Port. When reading data, bit 6 and 7 must be set (and obviously Bit 0 must be cleared - if you don't want to receive your own gameboys IR signal). After sending or receiving data you should reset the register to 00h to reduce battery power consumption again.
Bit 0: Write Data (0=LED Off, 1=LED On) (Read/Write) Bit 1: Read Data (0=Receiving IR Signal, 1=Normal) (Read Only) Bit 6-7: Data Read Enable (0=Disable, 3=Enable) (Read/Write)
Note that the receiver will adapt itself to the normal level of IR pollution in the air, so if you would send a LED ON signal for a longer period, then the receiver would treat that as normal (=OFF) after a while. For example, a Philips TV Remote Control sends a series of 32 LED ON/OFF pulses (length 10us ON, 17.5us OFF each) instead of a permanent 880us LED ON signal. Even though being generally CGB compatible, the GBA does not include an infra-red port.
FF70 - SVBK - CGB Mode Only - WRAM Bank
In CGB Mode 32 KBytes internal RAM are available. This memory is divided into 8 banks of 4 KBytes each. Bank 0 is always available in memory at C000-CFFF, Bank 1-7 can be selected into the address space at D000-DFFF.
Bit 0-2 Select WRAM Bank (Read/Write)
Writing a value of 01h-07h will select Bank 1-7, writing a value of 00h will select Bank 1 either.
FF6C - Undocumented (FEh) - Bit 0 (Read/Write) - CGB Mode Only
FF72 - Undocumented (00h) - Bit 0-7 (Read/Write)
FF73 - Undocumented (00h) - Bit 0-7 (Read/Write)
FF74 - Undocumented (00h) - Bit 0-7 (Read/Write) - CGB Mode Only
FF75 - Undocumented (8Fh) - Bit 4-6 (Read/Write)
FF76 - Undocumented (00h) - (Read Only)
PCM amplitude, channel 1 and 2
FF77 - Undocumented (00h) - (Read Only)
These are undocumented CGB Registers. The numbers in brackets () indicate the initial values. Purpose of these registers is unknown (if any). Registers FF6C and FF74 are always FFh if the CGB is in Non CGB Mode. Each of the four nibbles in registers FF76-FF77 represent the current PCM amplitude (00h-0Fh) in each of the four sound channels, where the lower nibble of FF76 represents the channel 1 and the higher nibble in FF77 represents channel 4.
