Fitfully, Frightfully, Frantically
I'm trying to make sense of it all. Everything. Completely. Without regret.
And yet, it escapes me.
Dialysis has been rambunctious lately. He waits, diligently, counting the ever prsent minutes until my forlorn return. For he knows I will; I can't, but I must.
As the miles roll by & the minutes click by I make my way to Dialysis, four days a week, three hours at a time.
Some days I'm having a gloriously entertaining time. A smile erupts, a laugh ensues. For a mere shred of a moment of a sliver of time, happiness shines joy and frivolity in my direction.
But Dialysis rips that from my existence with frivolous glee. It struts and frets its way upon the clinic floor, laying waste to everything I hold dear.
The lidocaine burns. The scabs prevail. And as the needles infiltrate my helpless access, I submit fully to its overhwhelming strength over my life.
That's when the giggling begins unabated.
Dialysis mocks and murmurs his cursed language of pain and suffering. He cowers in the shadows of the recesses of the clinic floor. Always patient, always present.
Around minute forty-two is when he first strikes his imminent wave of relentless burning pain.
First my arm, and then my eyes are forced to bear witness to his C-shaped frame, stringy green hair and pointy toothed grin. He would be comical if he weren't so evil.
In the past times, the early years, the times when I didn't know any better, he would bound vertically again and again and again when he witnessed the first signs of my giving in.
A bead of sweat would tickle him. A squeezing of the eyes would excite him. If I were to suddenly flail about in the chair, he would do barrel rolls in the aisle.
This is my life. This is where I am. This is what I've become.
I will occasionaly glance around the clinic floor and observe that Dialysis never seems to bother with other patients when I'm on the scene. Everyone else seems content to sleep, or read, or watch TV with nary a twitch to what they're experiencing at that very moment.
For whatever reason, I'm "special."
Pain is my friend, my companion, my soulmate upon the journey now. It comforts me and reminds me that I'm still breathing, still thriving, still existing in spite of myself.
And yet, that's just not enough.
Dialysis is a thief with no remorse. Friendships diminish. Careers go haywire. Simple tasks with minimal energy take hours to complete. Some days all I'm left with is festering anger and lingering remorse over what might have been.
And that's really no way to express one's life.
Hope for the future. Hope for a kidney. Hope for a resurrection of titanic proportions.
Its really all I've got left.

The Evildoers of Dialysis
If you're about to start Dialysis, there is one absolutely, positively, unbridaled fact that no one will tell you.
Not the nurses. Not your nephrologist.
No one in the administrative staff will step up and state this clearly and unequivocally.
I was certainly not informed. I wish I had been. I could have prepared more effectively.
You're going to be seated next to assholes. And douchebags. Doucheholes and assbags.
Think about all the people you meet in everyday life. What percentage do you believe fit into the above categories?
Maybe you're nicer than me (most probably) or more accepting of others (I hope so) but after over seven years of forced occupation with some of these cretins, I believe I have become a bonafide expert.
Is every patient a jerk? Of course not. I don't tend to socialize at treatment simply because my psyche associates every living creature, every piece of equipment to be pure, bloodied evil.
But that's just me. I have serious issues.
There just happens to be individuals who will inflict their will on you, regardless of good manners, proper etiquette, or just good old fashioned courtesy.
Which brings me to the point of this post:
*** The Top 3 Evildoers of Dialysis ***
3) The Godfather of Farts
Saturdays are chaotic at Dialysis, and its no fault of the staff. Most of the time, everyone is running late because knuckleheads who've missed treatment during the week call at the last minute and whine about needing a treatment.
If you missed appointments anywhere else, they would tell you to fuck off and slam the phone down.
But not at Dialysis. Unfortunately.
I'm usually a Monday, Wednesday, Friday patient, so I know who to expect when I enter the rancid floor.
But because my pussy body can't make it through the weekend, I add an extra day to the treatment week.
That's right, I allow Dialysis to ruin my weekends.
So instead of patients like Neckish Princess and Petite Raven Hair, I'm forced to endure the Godfather of Farts.
I am going to make an assumption about this individual, so bear with me.
His diet led him to Dialysis.
From the moment he enters, he's farting. And not just run-of-the-mill, all-American, I-just-had-Chicken-McNuggets and a loaf of cheese farts.
I must take a moment now and quote my hero, George Carlin:
"The kind of fart that could strip the varnish off a foot locker. A fart that could end a marriage."
The ventilation system at my clinic is non-existent, so clouds of farts hang around him.
Hugging him. Cherishing him. Asking for more toxic farts.
And if this gentleman walked into any Italian bar, he would be welcome with open arms because he looks just like Marlon Brando in "The Godfather." You'd have to do a double blink and roll your fists into your eyes and glance again. Its astonishing really.
He also likes to mock patients when they're in pain, so maybe he should be higher on the list.
2) Masturbating Fred Flintstone
If Raven Haired Temptress hadn't informed me of his behavior, I probably wouldn't have noticed. Once I'm leaned back into my chair, the laptop flies open so I can lose myself in the latest attempt at a blockbuster from Hollywood.
He wears plaid shorts and no underwear. Once treatment starts, his rainbow blanket flies over his body, Telemundo gets switched on and this guy goes to town.
I feel bad for the staff when it comes to patients like this. How do you even broach the subject?
And does he ever wash that blanket?
Since his hygeine is also in questions (how difficult is it to shower more than once a week) I'm going to guess, hmm, less than never.
1) Jabba the Hutt
Who could be worse than a chronic farter & addictive masturbator?
Welcome to the human form of Jabba the Hutt.
From the moment he enters, the flip flops fly off and he's shuffling around barefoot.
To those not aware, here's what he could be stepping in:
Blood. Vomit. Feces. Spit. And, since the masturbator is on my shift, apparently semen.
I understand taking your shoes off because your feet are swollen. Occasionaly, I'm forced to do that. But prancing around barefoot?
He also eats the entire time he's there. Candy and junk food.
As I've mentioned previously, the aroma of unwashed ass and baby poop hugs the air in my clinic. Why would you ever want to eat?
The worse is when halfway through his treatment he vomit.
It happens. Again, I get it. But you brought this on yourself.
And once the staff cleans him up, he goes back to...eating.
One night I couldn't take the smell anymore. Like stale swiss cheese and burnt hair. Like he hadn't washed his feet since the Bicentennial.
This night was the second time in my seven year history that I've signed paperwork to get off the machine early. The other time, the stairwell at my apartment had collapsed.
Now you get the idea of how horribly awful it was.
If you're about to start Dialysis, here's what I recommend:
1) Noise cancelling headphones.
This is mostly for the Emmy award winners who scream on their cellphones, unwilling to comprehend that cell technology has reached a point where you could whisper and the individual on the other end could hear you.
2) Lavender
Some of the drains get backed up with all the urine that is extracated from patients, so you'll want to be prepared. Also, unless you're on the night shift (and even then) other patients may not shower regularly. Its sad, but its a fact you'll have to deal with.
3) DVD Player
Three hours crawls by without distractions. You can get great deals at Target (and the salespeople won't hassle you like at "Best Buy") with batteries that last long past your scheduled treatment time.
4) A Taser
Ok, now I'm just kidding. Sort of.

The Pain of Lidocaine
I am a wimp. A fool. A terrestrial being with nothing extra about him.
For what seems like an exponential lifetime, I have been a Dialysis patient.
There is no B.D. (before Dialysis) anymore. Its been too long. Too hard. Too infinite.
Childhood, college, the beginning of my career. They all seem like chapters from a book that I checked out from the library ages ago.
All the facets that melded those memories into one cohesive whole: happiness, joy, triumph; they're all just forgotten words now.
But its about to become tremendously worse.
For ages, I've used lidocine to ease my pain. You're right. I'm one of those geniuses of the highest order who receives two needle sticks.
Before two needle sticks.
Excessive? Sure. Redundant? Definately.
But totally, and without a doubt, necessary.
When the lidocaine misses its intended target, the main needle shrieks in terror as it enters my helpless arm.
Every. Single. Time.
You would think any normal human being (i.e. not me) would adjust to this psychologically. Physically. Mentally. Emotionally.
My Fear of needles has become a massively disgusting mass of burden upon my shoulders. It festers there, cowers, whimpers in pain whether a Tech knows their business or not.
Word was given to me on bleach white paper that lidocaine is "not allowed in cases where a buttonwhole access is concerned."
It was highlighted in colorful, mocking orange. As though I would have missed it otherwise.
Chatty Cathy Nurse walked to my side and asked if I had read this.
"Yes," I said as I gathered my crappy possessions. "But I don't believe in it."
As if that would have ended it right there. I could only hope.
She was bounding with verbal, anxious speech. That's actually how she always speaks.
"We had a meeting and that rule is supposed to be followed."
I grabbed my items and shoved the strap over my shoulder, knocking Fear from its perch.
"No lidocaine. No Dialysis. I'll stop if I have to."
There was no emotion in my voice. No waver in my step.
Chatty Cathy Nurse made that sound she always makes when she's not sure how to respond: "Aaah...ohhh..."
I'm sure Happy, Smiley manager will lose those adjectives from her face when she hear this, but Lidocaine has been my only friend in the fight against Fear.
My psyche is held together with second tier Scotch tape and fractured, muddied shoelaces. You take away one of the few friends I have in that Haunting Haven of Hell (TM 2011) and my edge will have been reached.
"I'll stop if I have to."
That isn't an empty threat filled with shallow nonchalance. It is the truth as I know it on this day, the twenty fifth of July, two thousand eleven.

In the Beginning
There was a rambunctious Sperm and a reclusive Ovum. The Sperm was charming and funny. The Ovum, quiet, yet intelligent. And a little wacky.
There were rivers of Sperm and islands of Ovum, but these two particular individuals felt their pairing was bathed in the bastion of Fate.
The Sperm felt comfortable and welcome in the warm embrace of this particular Ovum, there was no denying it.
At the moment the Ovum decided that no other Sperm would venture into her womb, something electrical happened that was quite unexpected.
Life began.
It was undeniable that these two forces of unapologetic nature would come together to create another. Fate deemed it so.
And so Fate, with all its immense power and glory over the futile lives of man, shifted ever so slightly.
In the grand scheme of Creation, it was so minscule as to be unwarranted for further moments of discussion.
But we shall. Here. Now. Without regret or blame.
For something went horribly wrong.
The fusion of love and happenstance should have fused together to create something joyous and pure. Something innocent and unfettered.
Something the Universe could tower proudly over and declare, "At least I got this right goddamnit!"
But Fate had other plans.
Fate deems all other rules negated by its own.
Fate vomits on hopes, dreams and possibilities.
Fate trashes those it deems unworthy to live a life worth living.
Many will point and mock and deem Fate non-existent, for they can't grab it with their pudgy little fingers and shove it down their ungodly throats.
I am living proof that they are so very, very wrong.
What began as bursts of frivolity, splashed upon the face of an unblemished young boy, quickly morphed into discovery of the true nature of Pain.
The first piercing needle was never as bad as the last.
Fate determining that I should experience that about 127 minutes ago.
One rambunctious Sperm. One reclusive Ovum.
Nothing but Fate in-between.
And so, it goes.

The Terrific Tale of the Transplant Listiversary
Through the folds of imagination and misery, please travel back with me to the wily time of March 2004.
Spring was blossoming into a ravishing young woman, about to use her comely wiles to entice Winter to leave his magnificent throne of Weather.
Down upon the skin of Planet Earth, humans were battling one another continuously over who could acquire the most meaningless mass of material, not realizing each acquisition was biting away at their ever deflated Soul.
It is within these constructs that we join our Protagonist, Happy-Go-Lucky Stacy.
For what he lacked in stature and mass, he made up for in personality and whimsy. Every day he would use technology to broadcast his thoughts over magical airwaves of sound, infuriating and entertaining at every possible turn.
Evenings were especially rambunctious, for Happy-Go-Lucky Stacy filled them with ravishing women of beauty and brilliance, giggling and dancing as they ransacked the town.
But as Fate struck midnight, all would change. And not for the better.
Statements on-air became forgetful and rambling. What was once food both tasty and vibrant, exited just as quickly, vile and unwanted.
A doctor both portly and friendly, brimming with knowledge and depth, thrust a tiny sword into Stacy's reluctant upper arm and gathered a massive amount of Blood Red Soul.
Happy-Go-Lucky Stacy knew the answer, for the Doctor's face was mired in doubt.
"Your CKD has caused CKF. So I'm recommending HD, ASAP, before you end up DOA and don't PAY."
Apparently our Mighty Doctor was in a hurry, for she felt that acronyms would suffice for her Tiny Peon Patient.
Happy-Go-Lucky Stacy had created, unwillingly, a wonderfully tasty soup of Fear and Loathing and allowed it to brew for eight weeks before giving in to the horrific creature known as Dialysis.
Upon entering Dialysis' Castle of Forgotten Souls, Happy-Go-Lucky Stacy felt his adjectives becoming weak. "Happy" scurried away with tears in his eyes. "Go" bolted for the wrong door, slammed himself into a closet, and stayed there until the custodial staff arrived. "Lucky" instantly burst into a million forlorn pieces and hasn't been seen or heard from since.
So with each step lonelier than the last, Stacy entered the cavernous dwelling of disaster, and was met by his twisted host.
He was shaped awkwardly like the letter "C" with a tiny, slender frame. Barely noticeable hands and miniature feet jutted from each end of his alphabet frame. They continuously moved and gyrated, begging for the use of appendages that were never to be.
At the top end of his body, an oval mass of flesh served as his head. Wiry and dry, his green stained hair whisked in all different directions when he spoke. When he smiled, every tooth was shaped hopelessly like a sharp letter "V", giving way to stains from colors not yet named.
With every step Stacy made closer to the dungeoned chair, Dialysis would bound from wall to wall, laughing and screaming with unmitigated delight.
"Yyyyyoooooouuuuuuuu...." Its as though each letter of the word possessed its own syllable.
"...wwwiiilllllll NEVER, HA! NEVER, never...NEVER MIND! HAHAHAHAHAHA!"
Stacy would have spoken up, and called him crazy, but that seemed utterly redundant.
Stacy finally reached his Over Sized Clown Chair, and Dialysis stopped moving for just one moment. He planted himself right at Stacy's feet and slowly moved his excuse for a head from one end of Stacy's body to the other. Stacy could finally peer through Dialysis' hair to find there were holes where eyes should have been.
"The women, ha!" He could barely contain himself now.
"The women. The happy. And all between, are now, ha!"
The chair reached out and swallowed Stacy whole. Every inch of his body melted into the fabric so he couldn't escape. Dialysis' raised his hands in the air like an epic conductor. Two needles, brimming with fire and tubing, snaked their way across the dungeon floor.
Once they reached Stacy's chair, Dialysis motioned for them to strike his arm with unrelenting force and pressure.
Stacy's head thrust back and his jaw jutted wide. Dialysis' mimed that he was zipping his lip, so each scream was muted before it could erupt.
Because Stacy possessed the knowledge that failure to comply would most certainly bring Death, he returned. Again. And again. And even again.
Again and again and again.
As weeks bled into years, Stacy learned to hide any minute indication that he was suffering. For he knew that made Dialysis happy.
But agonizing, in all its many human forms, has a way of devouring the adjectives that make us who we are.
Miserable was most common. Evil, just as popular. Asshole was bandied about, but never fully adopted.
But if Dialysis' has one undeniable personality trait, its that he only pays attention to the negative. He relishes it. Bathes in it. Uses it for his own personal wiles.
And that's where Stacy has the upper hand. You know, the one without the raping needles.
For unbeknown to Dialysis, Stacy the Downtrodden has reached a milestone of epic proportions.
Today. Lovely today. Marvelous today.
Today marks seven years on the UCSF Kidney Transplant List.
When the phone call arrives, and it will any moment, Stacy will smile. The emotion from that moment will reach Dialysis' skin, and for once, he will burn. Every single pore on his body will jettison from his frame, screaming for mercy that will never arrive.
Stacy will fling his treatment blanket upon Dialysis's smoking corpse and announce one last decree:
"I'm taking applications for new adjectives. Anyone want to apply?"

My Soul, Is Bled
My Soul bleeds for Red Kisses from formidable women. The passionate kind you take to your grave.
My Soul bleeds of Childhood, once rich and fulfilling. Yanked from my existence with a diluted expression of nonchalance. The years stretch the moments, ignoring their intimacy, and unending value.
My Soul bleeds upon the Present, so stale and unaffected. Every moment a photo, faded with embers and dust. I desperately try to grasp them together, but they crumble through my fingers, forever gone.
My Soul bleeds Anger, thick, with resolve. For those who torment me with ignorant rantings, contained within their spews of verbal diarrhea.
My Soul bleeds through Needles, long and foreboding. My last resolve from the omnipresent Harbinger of Death.
My Soul bleeds Indignation for those festering with complacence. The ones who treat patients like pennies in fountains, disposable creatures tossed aside without care.
My Soul bleeds for the Future, so daunting, so uncertain, so mired, so true.

Hopefully Hopeful Hope
Hope can be a perilous thing.
Too little, and Despair crawls out from the depths of your Soul and mires you downward.
Too much, and you're a delusional fool.
On Tuesday, November 9th, I was invited to take a trip to the beating heart of the Bay Area, San Francisco. The UCSF Medical Center is roughly two miles southeast of Golden Gate Park.
Once inside, I made my way to the 7th Floor of 400 Parnassus Avenue. I took the stairs because elevators are home to body odors of unimaginable strength and duration.
The Surgeon, Social Worker, Financial and Transplant Coordinator's seemed pleased to see me.
After six and a half years of Life Crushing Dialysis, Hope had made its presence known.
I'm at the top of the UCSF Transplant Ready List. Fucking go time.
When I arrived home later that day, I heard something whimpering in the far corner of my bedroom, under my Fortress of Solitude. (That's what I call my bed, for obvious reasons.)
I knelt down and pulled back the comforter that was blocking my view underneath. My computer bag, duffel bag, and veteran backpack were all resting comfortably in their usual locations.
But the whimpering continued. Louder. Filled with suffering and pain.
I moved my meager possessions aside and grabbed my portable flashlight. I had to find out what the hell was going on.
His eyelids cowered in the direct light. His body moved side to side abruptly, attempting to avoid the invasion.
He was a round little fuzzball, about the size of a regulation baseball. He appeared to be originally snow white, but years of neglect had darkened him with the dust and dank of time.
"Hey, I remember you," I said in my softest voice possible. "Its okay. I promise I'll be nice."
His eyes widened and he turned his back to me. I hadn't been very kind to him in the past.
"Listen to me very carefully. I...won't...yell. I...promise."
I reached my hand slowly under the bed and placed my palm upward. My fingers acknowledged it was okay to approach.
For what seemed like an eternity passed before he budged an inch. Trust was being formed, but it would take time.
Eventually, but slowly at first, he rolled his frail figure closer and closer to my hand.
Finally, success.
Once in my hand, I could feel the caked on dirt. It smelled of neglect.
I slowly brought him into the light. We smiled at one another. No other words needed to be spoken.
Hope was alive. Less than healthy, but alive nonetheless.
An hour later, Hope was on the top shelf of my bookcase with an incredible view of the room. I had gently, with great care, cleaned him. Before I was nearly done, he started to giggle. Apparently it tickled.
Suddnely his face furrowed and he looked as though he might finally speak.
He wanted to know where I had been.
The story spewed out of me. Recklessly. Furiously. With abandon and hate.
I spoke of Dialysis and His resurgence in my Life. His macaroni shaped body, covered in lesions and sores, had reappeared with a vengeance this past year.
Each treatment was the same, creating a tapestry of woe and misery I keep to myself. Every evening, roughly an hour in, He would clamp down on my fistula with His razor sharp teeth and leave me blinded by insufferable pain.
There was no relief.
In times like these, Asshole Stacy resurfaces. He's not a pleasant guy. His weapons are words filled with vitriol and spite.
Much like a sobering drunk, once treatment ceases, he fades into the seams, apologetic and shamed.
He's the one that brings the Evil Thoughts.
Over the years, I've experienced many, many comic books and superhero films.
When I was a child, the division was so easy to understand. As a young boy, I rooted for the hero and pitied the villian. That was the way of things in my young, naive brain. I could never quite grasp how the antagonist could be so very bad.
Dialysis has taught me otherwise.
I understand Evil. I've basked in its shadow and thrilled to its strength. It can be so very delightful in its unending machinations.
But here's where I'm fortunate.
True Stacy was always nearby. Waiting. Watching. Pulling back when needed when Asshole Stacy was far too weak.
That's the only thing that saved me. My true Self. The Self from my memories from so long ago.
For some time, even before the call, True Stacy emerged. A joke here. Silliness there. The honest nature of True Stacy.
Although these are momentary moments, for I tire so easily, they are welcome reminders that True Stacy has a chance.
As I used my flailing limbs and stomping feet to share this story with Hope, I finally felt that the stream had ceased. I plopped down in my office chair, exhausted and spent. I finally had the courage to look into the eyes of Hope.
Hope smiled back.
I think I just might be okay.

Berenstain Bears and the Golden Rule Book App
Tops Category in iPhone App Store
Share with Twitter Share with LinkedIn
GRAND RAPIDS, Mich., Oct. 11 /PRNewswire/ -- Zonderkidz™, the children's division of Zondervan, and its partner, Oceanhouse Media, today announced that its book app, The Berenstain Bears and the Golden Rule, is currently the number one iPhone app, as well as the top-grossing app, within the Books category of the iPhone App Store.
The Berenstain Bears and the Golden Rule book app has held this position for more than a week. There are currently 40,000 apps in the book category of the iPhone App Store, and 6,000 apps in the book category of the iPad App Store.
Ebooks continue to be one of the fastest-growing segments in publishing, and making waves within the industry are new Book Apps. These enhanced ebooks include interactive features only available on iPad, iPhone or iPod Touch, such as professional narration, background audio and enlarged artwork for each scene.
"The Berenstain Bears books teach children how wonderful God is and the purpose he has in their lives. The book apps have successfully brought the words and lessons of these books to life like no other format," said Annette Bourland, senior vice president and publisher with Zonderkidz. "We are delighted and encouraged by the success of our book apps, and we expect them to play a significant role in our publishing plans moving forward."
Positioned as an easy-to-navigate alternative to traditional ebooks, the innovative book apps, created by Oceanhouse Media, combine Michael and Jan Berenstain's original text and artwork with features that entertain and promote reading in young children.
"As a child reads the story, individual words are highlighted. When they touch a picture, the app automatically zooms in on the words, building an association between the word and the image," said Michel Kripalani, president of Oceanhouse Media. "We believe this is a revolutionary format for reading and comprehension."
The Berenstain Bears and the Golden Rule is currently one of three Book apps within the Berenstain Bears family. Other apps include The Berenstain Bears Say Their Prayers and The Berenstain Bears Go to Sunday School. Both are also popular book apps in the iPhone App Store currently ranked in the top 100. All of the titles are available for download for $2.99 each.
Zonderkidz signed a contract in 2007 to publish 12 Berenstain Bears books, authored by Michael Berenstain, with the first titles released in Fall 2008. The softcover picture books focus on a range of inspirational topics such as doing the right thing, saying your prayers, and going to Sunday school. Zondervan's parent company, HarperCollins, continues to publish Berenstain Bears books for the general market.
About the Berenstains
Stan and Jan Berenstain published their first book about a bear family who lived "deep in Bear Country" in 1962 under the editorial oversight of Dr. Seuss. In 1974, they started their own line of books about everyday family experiences by Random House. In 2003, the Berenstains began publishing with HarperCollins and in 2005 began an exclusive relationship with the publisher.
Their youngest son, Michael, joined his parents many years ago writing several books and becoming the exclusive designer and illustrator of a series of large picture books. Since Stan Berenstain's death in 2005, Michael and Jan work as an author/illustrator team for their general market books.

ASUS reportedly aiming to launch budget-friendly Android Wear smartwatch at IFA
LG's G Watch and Samsung's Gear Live
LG’s G Watch and Samsung’s Gear Live
When Google unveiled Android Wear, it said that ASUS was among the partners signed up to release a wearable device, but since then, both companies have been quiet on the matter. In June, rumors started circulating that ASUS was working on a smartwatch that would be low-cost and appealing to consumers. Now, according to quotes from Focus Taiwan, ASUS may launch its Android Wear device as soon as next month at IFA next month.
ASUS CEO Jerry Shen told an investors’ conference Tuesday that his company could debut its smartwatch as early as September at the IFA electronics trade show in Germany, with aggressive marketing efforts to promote the device.

Samsung and Apple will sew-up the smartwatch market, others will fail, predicts analyst
Samsung and Apple will largely own the smartwatch market between them, predicts Jackdaw Research chief analyst Jan Dawson in a report being issued later today and seen by Re/code.
Dawson said that new players should “stay out of the market,” and existing players should scale back their plans.
“We do not recommend that existing vendors should maintain current levels of investment when market growth and the overall revenue opportunity remain poor,” Dawson said. “It is unlikely that more than one or two small vendors will be able to make a sustainable business out of smartwatches in the face of competition from Samsung and [...] Apple” …

Apple, on the other hand, holds a 36.4 percent share (via Nikkei). This is the first time Asus has ever held the top spot in Japan, according to the report. Read more
Asus is reportedly working on a budget-friendly smartwatch powered by Android Wear
Attendees at Google I/O are busy pawing smartwatches made by LG, Motorola and Samsung, but obviously there are other companies ready to jump on the Android Wear bandwagon. One of the firms currently drafting up a plan is Taiwanese computer manufacturer Asus, which will release a smartwatch sometime this fall, according to TechCrunch. Powered by Android Wear, the high-tech timepiece will reportedly feature an AMOLED display and ship with a price tag between $100 and $150.

hi,i've made my big cube(8*8*8) and it has some problems
how can i amplify it by 12v or output layer selection?
please help
triumphtotty (author) in reply to omid-el6 months ago
That looks AWESOME!! What kind of problems are you having? The cube only needs 5V @ 2A or so in total, so you don't need to give it more power. It should be pretty bright.
omid-el in reply to triumphtotty6 months ago
i know but the lights are very dim(by 12 volt),how can i run the cube with 12v output .i think problem is about layer selection .and i use tip122 for 8 layer
please help
rrussis82 says: 7 months ago
Triump, I have read about MSGEQ7 chips to make things respond to music, is there any way to incorporate that into these boards or at least into an Arduino to make this cube respond to music, maybe using a mode selector button to change from the programmed loop to a mode that listens to music and makes the cube into a spectrum analyzer? I am just learning, or trying to learn, programming. some other sites I've visited to research this shows using an ATMEGA 8 as a slave to the ATMEGA32 and with the MSGEQ7 to the ATMEGA8. could that work with this circuit and how?
triumphtotty (author) in reply to rrussis826 months ago
I don't even think you would have to slave another chip. I've successfully interfaced a simple Op-Amp with a microphone to one of the ADC pins (AIN1 I think?). I think the biggest issue might be freeing up the control lines needed, as there are only a couple free in chr's design. Perhaps using a 3 to 8 decoder for the layer transistors on PC5-PC7, then PC0 and PC1 could control the RESET and STROBE lines on the MSGEQ7, and PC2 (AIN0) would read the analogue input from the OUT line?
omid-el says: 6 months ago
an other question my dear friend:
how can i change the text "RR and "LED CUBE" to my own name or charachter.
triumphtotty (author) in reply to omid-el6 months ago
Should be simple. Just look through launch_effect.c and modify the strings in there. chr has documented how to add extra effects to this too, in case you want to leave the current effects unchanged.

Prince Harry arrives at South Pole
Prince Harry and his team from Walking with the Wounded arrive at the South Pole after a trek of more than 200 miles across Antarctica
Prince Harry, 29, is a member of one of three teams involving injured soldiers that set out two weeks ago on the 200 mile Walking with the Wounded South Pole Challenge.
The charity said on Friday that the teams arrived at the South Pole at 13:25 GMT.
Footage shows the team gathering round the South Pole together and linking arms.
The challenge was initially a race but organisers suspended the competitive element last week due to harsh conditions.
Prince Harry, an army Apache helicopter pilot who has served in Afghanistan, spent several days in 2011 trekking with wounded servicemen on a similar expedition to the North Pole.

Top mods - Neverwinter Nights
Comments 1 to 16 of 16

I loved NWN, but at that time I didn't have online acess at home.
I uninstalled it and moved on. It's time to install it again.
Thanks for the pointer :)
Bring more content like this to bit-tech ;)
Zut 28th June 2006, 14:10 Quote
Sorry but I absolutely hated NWN. I played BG 1 & 2 and loved every nanosecond of it, but IMHO NWN lost every single drop of the charm and atmosphere that made BG great.
The graphics may have been quite good (at the time), but the gameplay was utterly awful and the plot and story elements were dull and painfully one-dimensional.
I really really really hated it... sorry! :D
Rich_13 28th June 2006, 16:27 Quote
I love it, used to play a mod server called crown of accension or something like that. was brilliant !
Hordes of the underdark was clearly the best solo play for me though. If you didn't like NWN just for the story then try that.
eddtox 28th June 2006, 17:22 Quote
I still play NWN. I picked up a copy in a bargain basket a few months ago figuring its worth a try (£3.99) and absolutely loved it. I love the fact that it has lasted more than 99.9% of games and you could probably spend your entire life playing user-made content after you play through the main campaign. I mean, how many games are still being patched and supported after 4 years? Definitely recommend it!
-ed out
supermonkey 28th June 2006, 17:36 Quote
I was just thinking about reinstalling this game today. One of my favorite things about NWN is the sheer amount of gameplay. With the core game and both expansions installed, you're looking at weeks of gameplay, if you choose to complete all the optional sidequests.
That alone makes it worth the money in my opinion. Well, that and the fact that it was just a blast to play. I don't know anyone around here who plays D&D, so I had to get my fill on the computer. NWN filled the void neatly.
Whelan_999 28th June 2006, 17:50 Quote
I used to play this game for hours and I never finished it, the game is Huge! Lots of stuff to do unlike games comming out today (HLE1) It's a great game and I might reinstall it soon.
Tulatin 28th June 2006, 18:10 Quote
Ah yeah, me and a friend spent literally weeks beating NWN + Expansions. While it did lose much of the charm from BG, it was hella fun, perhaps moreso than BG/II/IWD
caesarbear 29th June 2006, 00:47 Quote
Some info on NWN and it's community
Neverwinter primer:
Neverwinter Nights (NWN) had two expansion packs, first Shadow of Undrentide (SoU), then Hordes of the Underdark (HotU).
NWN Gold edition bundles NWN and SoU.
NWN Platinum edition bundles NWN, SoU and HotU and is either CD or DVD.
NWN Diamond edition bundles NWN, SoU, HotU, and 3 of the 4 current premium mods: Kingmaker, ShadowGaurd, Witch's Wake remake and is only DVD.
NWN Kingmaker "expansion" bundles Kingmaker, ShadowGaurd, and Witch's Wake remake on CD.
the newest premium mods Pirates of the Sword Coast and Infinite Dungeons are only available by download.
To play a premium mod purchased through the BioWare Store requires an on-line verification just like attempting a multiplayer game.
OC stands for Original (or Official) Campaign and refers to the campaign that came with the original release of NWN, the story involving the much discussed Aribeth. It is generally considered a mediocre campaign.
The popular character of Deekin is introduced halfway into the SoU campaign and can be your henchman. He also appears in HotU and again, can be your henchman.
SoU and HotU are not sequels of the OC, although they do make reference to some of the events in the OC. SoU and HotU are very loosely tied together. There is a gap between a character's ending level of XP in SoU and the required starting level for HotU. HotU will instantly add the appropriate levels to your character or the XP gap can be "filled" by any mod(s). There are a few "bridge" modules specifically for this gap.
A mod refers to a module, not a modification like other PC games. A module is the file that contains the area, dialog and script information for an adventure, and they are created using the Aurora toolset included with NWN.
A hak is a file that contains custom content information like tilesets and models. In multiplayer the mod is only required on the server, but haks are required on the server and clients. Make sure you download any required haks before attempting to connect to an online or LAN server.
CEP stands for Community Expansion Pack and is actually a very large hak. It includes a lot of content from many different haks into one hak file. It is endorsed by Bioware, but it is not maintained by Bioware. It is a must download since many mods now require it. download here
Most mods and hak files as well as other files like custom portraits and scripts are located at IGN's Neverwinter Vault.
PW stands for Persistent World. Sometimes also called Gameworlds, these popular on-line mods offer some of the features of old Multi-User Dungeons or Massively Multiplayer Online Roleplaying Games.
The Player Resource Consortium (PRC) pack is an additional package in the vein of CEP that adds a substantial amount of content for players including 75+ new player classes and prestige classes (PrC), 50+ sub-races, new spells, feats, etc. It is often used in PW settings but can be manually applied to compatible SP modules.
Neverwinter Connections is a useful on-line mathcmaking service where you can find listings of PWs and Dungeon Master (DM) controlled games.

Easy fix to NWN Diamond edition and failing disk check
NWNWiki project
NWN2 is being developed by Obsidian (KotOR2, some former Black Isle devs) and is being co-produced by Atari and Bioware. It is planned for a later 2006 release. NWN1 mods will not be compatible.
caesarbear 29th June 2006, 00:56 Quote
The Top Rated list at IGN's NWVault contains some of the better community made mods available. There is a wide variety of content from roleplay to hack n' slash to unique experiences. Some mods exhibit very professional workmanship while others are rougher but offer inventive storytelling not generally available in mainstream RPGs. Although don't take the ranking order completely literally. The system is a bit flawed and cannot accurately rank order so many modules. You will continue to find excellent mods many pages deep. Often newer more seasoned worked is hidden below some older and highly popular work. It's more about your personal preference.
Here's a list specifically designed to help players find modules to continue the career of one character: Berliad's Upper Level Module List
Specific top recommendations for anyone:
Stefan Gagne's ee1 - elegia eternum ee2 - excrucio eternum - a psychologically thrilling, roleplay heavy adventure series, and the HeX coda 01 - a unique and highly acclaimed Scifi/Fantasy adventure.
Marc Price's trilogy of Midwinter Festival, Midsummer Knights' Dream, and Midnight Calling which will take a starting character to about 15th level.
Baldecaran's compelling Cave of Songs and intricate Honor Among Thieves, my personal favorite.
Tortured Hearts - an epic for hard core cRPG gamers.
Tales of Arterra - The Lost and Tales of Arterra - The Awakening - finely crafted storytelling.
The Lord of Terror - The Diablo Campaign, Eye of the Beholder - the best of the remakes.
Runes of Blood- featuring 100+ areas and hundreds of NPC, this is an excellent and epic module.
The Rose Of Eternity - Chapter 1 - The Coming - a console style RPG featuring some unique replayablility.
AL1: Siege of Shadowdale, AL2: Crimson Tides of Tethyr - while the first part is a bit dated it leads to an excellent sequel.
The Aielund Saga Act I Act II Act III Act IV - an exciting series
Legacy: Dark Moon Rising - A console style RPG with some of the best visuals by a NWN module.
Black Thorn - A unique mystery roleplay with randomly selected multiple endings. The clock is ticking in realtime and you must solve the puzzle in three hours.
Cormyrean Nights - an open adventure featuring a detailed living city.
Adam Miller's Shadowlords series: 1 - The Message, 2 - Hill's Edge, 3 - Skull Gorge, 4 - Stonemeet, 5 - Enter the Shadow
followed by Dreamcatcher series: 1 - Skyfall, 2 - Ocean Dreams, 3 - Pit of Stars, 4 - Evermeet
and finally Demon
Get them all in one bundled pack
RTS - Harvest of Souls and Good vs Evil 2 - two excellent unique modules incorporating elements of RTS combat games and allowing teamplay.
NoMercy 29th June 2006, 02:42 Quote
I bought NWN as soon as it came out, both of the expansions on pre-order, and well, I met the love of my life while playing NWN, and I still play occasionally :)
Truely one of the best games, ever... NWN2 has a lot to live up to.
draxar 29th June 2006, 03:47 Quote
I remember NWN, it was really great for a long time, I spent hours and hours devoted to playing and leveling my characters.
Though of course, now I've switched to Warcrack for that instead.
<nostalgia>I was never really that fond of the expansion pack plots - I played through the original game, but never managed to finish either of the others. I think it was because at that point I'd found a great online Persistant World server called "The Three Towns" (aka 3T) that I was spending most of my time on.
Having checked it's webpage (going through three "This site has moved" messages from the first google result), apparently it's still going strong. I'd say it was one of the gem's the article describes - whenever I tried looking at other servers, my general reaction was that they were no-where near as good. Probably due to the fact that 3T realised that people are *******s and will powergame, and set the difficulty level based on that, and disabled much of the most abusable stuff. </nostalgia>
<geek>Speaking of abuseable stuff, I wonder if they'll manage fix the game bugs in NWN2 that they never dealt with in NWN, like the monk attack stuff. Then again, NWN2 will probably use D&D 3.5 rules, neatly sidestepping that issue.</geek>
JonDixon 30th June 2006, 20:42 Quote
Well thank you bit-tech. After reading your Oblivion mods review last time I found myself instead installing Morrowind and the quite brilliant mods and retextures available for that.
Now after reading your NWN mods , I am now splitting my time in two rpgs.
Whats the next in the series? Freelancer? Because I'm just not sure I have the lifetime left needed to complete all these games
Keep the series going, its great ressurecting the older games. Morrowind has been amazing to come back to after a few years. With all the graphic replacers/retextures, the better bodies, heads and clothing, enhanced music and sound effects. Nevermind the additional NPC's, Expanded Balmora and Children of Morrowind mods.
olly_lewis 1st July 2006, 14:16 Quote
Never played Neverwinter Night, is sort of passed me by, but this articles and the range of mods avalible had impressed me some what and I might see if I can bag a discount copy from the local GAME store.
The CEP mod pack looks great and interesting, but the Far Away server mod is one hell of a mod, its huge... But I doubt they would let me in, the registation process seems to be long winded and I doubt I would play the game for a very long length of time and not enough to merit trying to signup for the mod..
But there is always the sequel NWN2, have to get that when it comes out...
Paradigm Shifter 2nd July 2006, 19:44 Quote
I didn't really like NWN... it was just too much of a departure from BG1&2, which were fantastic. I picked up SoU and HotU about a year ago (something like that) and really enjoyed those, though. May have to go have a look at the mods again...
...I remember early on in NWN modding scene there was the start of a FFI total conversion... wonder how that got on?
Cool article.
caesarbear 6th July 2006, 04:58 Quote
Some good new release suggestions:
AL3: Tyrants of the Moonsea - Sequel to Siege of Shadowdale and Module of the Year - 2005 candidate Crimson Tides of Tethyr. Originally developed as a BioWare Premium Module and featuring never-seen-before custom content. lvl 12-15
The Art of Death - Back in Black - Play a political assassin in story driven action. lvl 15 w/ at least 10 of rogue
Almraiven - A richly detailed FR adventure intended for evil spellcasters lvl 1
Sands of Fate 3 - Pyramid of the Ancients - Finale to the series of Shadows over Heliopolis and Gem Tower.
specofdust 6th August 2006, 18:29 Quote
Well, I'm assuming from what you say that you got it illegally. If that's the case, chances are you can't use it since it osunds like it needs some sort of online valedation. Discussing and encouraging the breaking of laws is generally against the rules on Bit-tech though, and you won't find anyone to help you break the law.

View Full Version : Babolat woofer...Anyone got rid of ?
04-09-2006, 07:59 PM
I liked the original nonwoofer pure drive much better but I hear that without high string tension there is no way to change grommets or in any way delete the woofer system on the new PD racquets. Anyone?
04-10-2006, 11:12 AM
i think the only way (aside from increasing tension past 60 lbs) is to find the old grommet set (w/o woffer). maybe cutting those out and just using single grommets there?
Richie Rich
04-10-2006, 04:41 PM
would be nice but i think the old grommets are pretty hard to find
04-10-2006, 05:30 PM
i don't know...maybe hard to find a replacement. try writing babolat maybe?
04-10-2006, 06:50 PM
Thanks for the replies.
A local shop manager told me the woofer system racquets had curved grommet holes and no other grommet strips will work.
Anyone know for sure? I will try to check with babolat.
thomas martinez
04-10-2006, 07:33 PM
Exactly. You will NOT find another grommet kit to fit a Pure Drive Woofer frame. IT's the way they are drilled. Even when using a Fittex grommet, it doesn't really sit well in ther ebecause of the way they are drilled. Only choice, flog it and get something new, string tighter or drop me a line I have a few old style PUre Drives
04-10-2006, 07:42 PM
Wow! Hi TM. Thanks. A bunch of people have been posting looking for old PD.
My purpose was to search before committing to the new RPD which I am trying and like.
TM what is your feeling on the new RPD? thanks.

Kathryn Flett
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Jump to: navigation, search
Kathryn Flett
Born (1964-04-01) 1 April 1964 (age 50)[1]
Watford, Hertfordshire, England
Kathryn Alexandra Flett (born 1 April 1964) is a British TV critic, author, and star of the BBC's Grumpy Old Women series. She was educated at Notting Hill & Ealing High School, and Hammersmith and West London College.
Flett began her career as a staff writer for i-D Magazine in 1985. This was followed by a period as features editor and fashion editor of The Face (1987-1989), three years as a freelancer, and then editor of Arena magazine from 1992-1995.
In 1995, at the age of 31, Flett joined The Observer as associate editor of the magazine Observer Life, later becoming a features writer and TV critic on the newspaper.
In 1997, Flett's husband of just 17 months had just left her and the couple were going through a messy divorce. Flett found an outlet for her grief by writing about the break-up in gory detail, week-by-week, in her Observer newspaper column. She published a book about the relationship, The Heart-shaped Bullet (ISBN 0330370383) in 1999.
Since 2004, Flett has starred in the BBC TV’s Grumpy Old Women series and, in 2008, was a judge on Channel 4’s Miss Naked Beauty. Her first novel, Separate Lives, was published July 2012 by Quercus Books.

The Non-Open Book Exam
In law school almost all exams are open book, meaning that you can bring in anything you want to the exam short of another person. Some exams might be restricted open book exams where you may be able to bring in your own materials or your casebook but not any commercial outlines or anything else. Then there are two other species of exams: take home exams and closed-book exams. Both are deceptive creatures.
In my first year my constitutional law exam was a 48 hour take home exam. This year I have a 24 hour take home exam for one of my classes. Last year my professor told us that liked take home exams because he didn’t want us to be writing under pressure and that he preferred reading answers that had been thought out rather than typed in three hours or so.
We didn’t quite know what to do with our take home exam last year. Two days to answer three questions in 10 pages total. It seemed like a piece of cake. But no, there are one of two problems with a take home exam (or at least one that is more than 24 hours) that may afflict you.
First, procrastination is the name of the game because there is no pressure to get it done in a short period of time. I’ll do a little bit now and then a little bit later, you will tell yourself. Or, I have plenty of time to do this. Not so because the end of that 48 hours will arrive sooner than you think.
Second, you may find that you become disturbingly obsessed with your exam during the exam period. Perhaps I should be working on my exam instead of eating? What if everyone else is working on their exam right now and I’m not? I need to re-write this section because it makes no sense. Oh wait, let me re-write it again, and so forth.
This year I also had a closed-book exam, meaning that we couldn’t bring in anything except our computers and a pen into the exam. Law students have a tendency to faint at the mention of a closed-book exam because it means they can’t have their security blanket with them (outlines, commercial outlines, case book, horn book, etc.). Note, you will soon find that law school is just like high school: mass hysteria runs rampant.
But it’s really not so bad. Think about it: in high school and college you were never allowed to bring anything into an exam and you obviously survived that. You’re typing for so long that you don’t even really need your outline. Additionally, professors know that if you’re not allowed to bring anything in they’re not looking for you to be able to write about obscure little details (nor would they be for an open book exam).
In the end, an exam is an exam and you should probably try not worry about the format and concentrate instead on learning and applying the material.

Going to be great to have Castiel back! In the promo it looks like he has a showdown with Crowley. Woo-hoo!
Ugh. I'm over Cas. Can't he just die already?
Of course they couldn't a sneak peak featuring Cas? I really like Trans but there are more important stuff than closing the gate of Hell. Like Cas.
Cas is back!!!! thank god (actually no thanks to him!)
and he is back to being the Cas we all know and love i hope!

Upgrade your geek with Dwight Silverman
60 percent of U.S. home users have broadband
. . . reports the Associated Press.
That’s a jump from 51 percent a year ago. Nielsen/NetRatings says 86 million Internet users surfed the Web on home broadband connections in August.
Broadband use has grown steadily in the United States as prices fall and more video and other bandwidth-intent materials are available online.
“This continuing increase in broadband use is an essential step in a maturing Internet industry,” said Charles Buchwalter, the research firm’s vice president of client analytics. Broadband users tend to spend more time and money online, he said.
Even those who recently said they saw no need for broadband are jumping to it now that prices are coming down.
Dwight Silverman | Techblogger, social media manager

1. Lou Minatti says:
People are foolish not to get broadband now if it’s available. I won’t mention the names, but a well-known search provider and a famous phone company have teamed up to provide DSL for $14.95/mo. I use it, it works great. Why is anyone still paying for dialup? There is no longer any cost benefit to dialup, even if you use the Internet very infrequently.
2. mickster1245 says:
It has finally become reasonable so I’m taking the leap. Will keep you informed.
3. RebeEllen says:
I wish someone (Dwight Silverman) or someone at the Chronicle would do the story about Time Warner Cable and their failure during “Hurricane Rita.”
I use the quotes only because in my service area (Galleria area) I did not experience Hurricane Rita, yet Time Warner cable continues to blame Rita for all their troubles.
As an oldster who is not afraid to try new things, I signed up for the VOIP on Time Warner. It failed miserably during the “storm.” Yes, I hesitate to even call what I experienced last Saturday morning a storm. The wind blew. Some limbs came down. The power went out for 20 hours — that I can understand. What I can’t understand is why Time Warner Cable suffered such a loss and could not or would not handle it. My cable TV and VOIP modem didn’t come back into service until Tuesday, yet the VOIP did not work. I had extreme difficulty reaching TWC and had to resort to visiting their lovely office on Bissonnett. Still didn’t do any good. Broadband became intermittent on Wednesday evening after exchanging VOIP modem which took two additional trips to the office. TWC was still blaming Rita on Wednsiday night. Today, they had a new person to blame — ME! Amazing really. I’ve changed nothing since last night but miraculously MY problem cured itself after I cancelled my broadband. HAH! Cable modem works beautifully now. And for all this TWC is going to give us ONE DAY CREDIT! Thanks a lot. As soon as the DSL modem arrives, I’m done with TWC. Thanks to SBC, I had phone service working with a new number after placing my order just 5 hours earlier. Time Warner definitely needs some competition.
4. M'neeka says:
It’ll have to come down lots farther for me to make the leap! I pay $4.95 for dial-up and spend a good 60 hours a week online. I also purchase roughly 90% of my non-grocery items online. Clearly, I’m not negativley impacted by dial-up.
My first modem was 300 baud, run by a gerbil, a paperclip and piece of string. 56k is just fine by me!

What to Take & How to Pack
This website is designed to help you through the preparation process of packing.
Remember you will always want to pack more than you will actually use during the semester. Think in terms of simplicity; mix and match items; layer for warmth; test yourself to see how little you can live with during a semester; and know that everyone will be wearing the same things over and over again! Please look at your Student Handbook for more ideas and a packing list.
Travel Products:
There are many great travel products available that you might be able to use while you are abroad. You could spend a fortune before departure on all of these items. But we do not want to imply that you must purchase all of these items in order to succeed abroad. Many students do not purchase great volumes and still do very well.
Speak with Education abroad ambassadors about what was useful for them and decide what you can not live without. Remember, NEVER take anything with you that it would ruin your trip if you lost it. Consider reading this Study Abroad Returnees article on Packing before studying abroad. Leave family heirlooms and keepsakes at home.
• Passport Pouch/Travel Wallet: These are essential items to keep your passport safe while traveling. You can lose almost anything while traveling and continue on, but you don't want to lose your passport.
• Outlet adapters and electricity converters: Where ever you go, you will most likely encounter a different shape plug in the wall or a different electricity current. Know what you will find in country.
• Luggage: Whether you travel with traditional luggage on wheels, with a pack on your back, or some combination, is a matter of personal preference. You want to keep in mind what type of traveling you will be doing and what will be the easiest for you to maneuver.

Question by legaleagle24 (15)
If an orchid loses it's leaves, is it dead?
I had a beautiful orchid, and the leaves fell off, but I'm not sure if that's normal, or if it's too late.
Answer by worker4311 (77)
An orchid grows from its root system which can be a potato style tuber. New shoots may appear. Check your water and nutrient regime. New leaves may grow back.
Answer by Dana46 (2345)
The most common reason for an orchid to lose its leaves is over watering. Let your orchids dry out a little bit before adding more water. To save this one, try replanting it in some dryer orchid soil, and give it plenty of light, and you might be able to save it.
Answer by TheAnswerFairy (2345)
If it's the kind with pseudobulbs, you may be able to revive it by putting it somewhere humid but watering sparingly. If it's a moth orchid, its dead.
Answer by sanesh (86)
depends on the type of orchid. some types (nobile dendrobiums, for instance) are deciduous and can lose their leaves. others shouldn't be losing leaves. with care, orchids can live for decades (and even bloom. it totally depends on the type of plant. But you try again , depends upon plant

On average, babies laugh 300 times a day. Adults laugh 20. If you laugh for 12 hours, you will lose one pound. There are 30 million Google hits for the phrase “laughter is the best medicine,” an idea that dates at least as far back as Biblical times (Proverbs 17:22: “A joyful heart is good medicine”) but whose modern usage is commonly attributed to Henry Ward Beecher, the nineteenth-century abolitionist preacher who wrote, “Mirth is God’s medicine—everybody ought to bathe in it.”
Born in 1813, Henry Ward Beecher was the eighth of thirteen children, two years younger than his sister Harriet Beecher Stowe. In America, first-born and only children are more likely to earn six-figure incomes and hold top executive positions. Catharine, the oldest sibling of the Beecher family, was engaged to a Yale mathematician who died in a shipwreck. After his death, she founded five women’s colleges and published dozens of books on the importance of education, but never believed that women should have the vote.
Henry Ward Beecher is said to have had “a passion for jewels, which he carried, unset, in his pockets, taking them out for comfort when he was tired or in low spirits.” Other animals that hoard shiny objects include raccoons, crows and magpies. “I know every single thing that I have. My photographic memory is getting better,” said Lindsay Lohan in a 2010 interview with The Insider that aired with the title “Celebrity Hoarder.” In 2011, Lohan was court-mandated to complete an anti-shoplifting class after she was caught stealing from a jewelry store. Magpies were once thought to be omens of the devil; in nineteenth-century England, the superstitious would salute a magpie when they saw it, then turn around in a circle three times.
Magpies mate for life. Black vultures also mate for life, discouraging infidelity by attacking members of their community who are caught cheating in public. In 1875, Henry Ward Beecher underwent a six-month public trial for adultery after being accused of having an affair with a married woman at his church. Last year, Lindsay Lohan made $300,000 for portraying Elizabeth Taylor over the course of her most public affair. Leviticus 20:10 says, “If a man commits adultery with the wife of his neighbor, both the adulterer and the adulteress shall surely be put to death.” After his reputed mistress was excommunicated from the church, Henry Ward Beecher continued to command thousands of worshipers each week at the Plymouth Church in Brooklyn. Today, a third of Americans believe that every word of the Bible is literally true.
On average, public speakers out-laugh their audiences by around 50 percent. However, gender makes a big difference in these statistics: on average, when a woman speaks to a female audience, she laughs 70 percent more than her listeners do; she laughs twice as often when speaking to a room of men. When a man speaks to men, he laughs 20 percent more than his audience. When he speaks to women, he is out-laughed by 8 percent.
Laughter is healthy, but its benefits may also extend to other, similar activities. “It’s not really clear that the effects of laughter are different from screaming,” said a neuroscientist at the University of Maryland. In 1962, three girls at a missionary-run boarding school in modern-day Tanzania began laughing and couldn’t stop. Their symptoms spread to the majority of the pupils at the school and then to the surrounding villages. Over the next year, 14 schools were shut down and thousands were reported as affected by this epidemic, which “had nothing to do with humor,” according to a Purdue linguist. “There was no merriment,” he added. “There is no specific cause.”

- Is it free or commercial?
This app requires root and work only on a few selected devices.
For the best experience, I chose to set it free to download.
Only after its fully confirmed by a wizard that the application will work on your device, you're allowed to purchase it.
Simple answer: it's a commercial app accessible via a free compatibility detection.
- I'm using a custom ROM and I can't purchase or it doesn't work as expected.
Unfortunately I cannot test every custom ROM on the planet, which tend to break things.
Contact me, I helped solving tons of issues already.

Simple is good. Take the app as-is, it might not get any additional feature.
You're always welcome sharing good ideas by email.

- Are Bluetooth headphones supported?
Bluetooth headphones are fully independent hardware. Voodoo LOUDER access hardware directly but it can access only your Android device chips.

- Maximum Volume, on Galaxy Note, music sometimes stops!
Some headphones impedance confuses the headphone detection chip at maximum output volume, limit the max to +9dB instead of +10.5dB and you'll be fine.
- No refund?
There is no testing period or automatic refund, all purchases are final.
If you have a very special request, please contact me directly by email.
- I live in a country where Market doesn't allow purchase, how can I use your app?

Complete coverage of Texas' record heat wave of 2011
Drought May Have Claimed 500 Million Texas Trees
As many as 10 percent of Texas trees lost
View Comments (
The drought is blamed for killing as many as 500 million trees in Texas.
Preliminary estimates from the Texas Forest Service show the year-long drought in Texas may have claimed as many as 500 million trees.
The agency surveyed forestry professionals from regions around Texas, which has a total tree population of about 4.9 billion. Researchers analyzing the information have determined from 100 million to 500 million, or from 2 to 10 percent of all trees, have been lost.
Burl Carraway, who heads the agency's sustainable forestry department, said the exceptional drought, high winds and record-setting temperatures left trees dead or struggling to survive.
The survey results released Monday found hardest hit areas include Sutton, Crockett, Kimble and Pecos counties in West Texas; Montgomery, Harris, Grimes, Madison and Leon counties in Southeast Texas; and Bastrop and Caldwell counties in Central Texas.

Synchronicity: Or…The Occult, Daniel Pinchbeck and Me
Like many others, I occasionally watch The Colbert Report. The other night, he interviewed a guy named Daniel Pinchbeck. This may shock some of the literati and hipster types out there, but I’d never heard of him before. Obviously he was promoting his new book, 2012: The Return of Quetzalcoatl, in which he claims to be in communication with ancient Mesoamerican Gods and sees powerful hallucinogens as a route to a new harmonic consciousness. Apparently, judging by some early reviews, the main thrust of the book is apocalyptic. Like a perfect neo-romantic archetype out of Charles Taylor’s Sources of the Self, Pinchbeck perceives modern rational capitalist and materialist values as the problem, and encourages shamanic (his word), intuitive and instinctual ways of seeing the world. He is searching for alternate states of consciousness, and also heavily advocates the use of drugs as a means to achieve these states. He appears like a fusion of Carlos Castaneda, Timothy Leary, Oswald Spengler and Woody Allen.
He’s an occultist, of course, and has written about alchemy and magic. Further, he’s participated in primitive rituals involving transcendental states in Africa and South America, and explored the modern manifestations of mysticism and shamanism at the Burning Man festival in the Nevada desert. Judging by some of his written work (including a host of articles in Artforum), he has also extensively studied the eddies and backwaters of the Western tradition. He is, for lack of a better term, a student of the weird.
I, too, am a student of the weird. Actually, I’m not just a student — more a historian (as the chair of my old department once said…”the weird needs its historian”). The deep tradition of Western mysticism and other associated alchemies is familiar to me: The Hermetic Corpus; Asclepius and Hermes Trismegistus; the eleusinian mysteries; Zoroastrianism, Manicheanism and Gnosticism; Plotinus, Iamblichus and the Islamic neoplatonists; early Kabbalists; the Albigensians, Cathars and Knights Templar; the mythical medieval alchemist Basilius Valentinus; renaissance thinkers like Pico della Mirandola, Ficino and the Florentine academy; Paracelsus and Van Helmont; Giordano Bruno; John Dee and Robert Fludd; the Rosicrucians (and Descartes); Newton (and his obsession with alchemy); Louis Claude de St. Martin, Swedenborg and Mesmer; the Illuminati and Adam Weishaupt; freemasonry; Eliphas Levi; the symbolists and Gerard de Nerval; Aleister Crowley and the Hermetic Order of the Golden Dawn; Arthur Edward Waite; Madame Blavatsky, Theosophy and Rudolf Steiner; Wilhelm Reich and the Orgone, etc, etc…
This, however, is a more historical mode than I believe Pinchbeck operates in. His is a thoroughly modern cosmology shaped by the influence of “scientific” symbolism in the occult, a world colored by skepticism and doubt. The twentieth century path is a winding one. The odd amalgam between the physical and psychic sciences and the rise of holistic thinking (something Pinchbeck is also clearly tapped into) in the interwar years were merely seeds which germinated in the dark and shady soil of the Cold War, mutating into new political and cultural forms: paranoia, “alien-nation”, mind control, the CIA and LSD. This last is somewhat rescued and saved, oddly, by one of Pinchbeck’s major influences, the drug-guru himself, Timothy Leary. Still, the dark corners of the post-war American esoteric scene (cf. Anton LaVey) are clearly not alien to him…
And, of course, neither are aliens. Pinchbeck is deeply immersed in what I can only call the X-Files cosmology (UFOs, little green men, crop circles, cryptozoology, alien abductions, etc…). I suspect this is born of a close reading of the cyberpunk/cyberculture scene, with a little of Jung’s Flying Saucers thrown in for good measure. For him, I’m sure some of the c-punks were mystics in mirrorshades. No wonder, since this whole fringe theory edge-of-science, pseudo-science world is rife with esoteric speculation and bad behavior. Among the golden age writers like Asimov, Heinlein and Bradbury, the father of Scientology, L. Ron Hubbard, was just a hack. ‘Nuff said.
Truth is, the history of medicine and science, taken from a certain point of view, is an avenue into all these fascinating esoteric currents, and is the one I took. Pinchbeck sounds conversant with these themes too, speaking of the scientific enterprise like a careful reader of Feyerabend’s Against Method. He sees science as merely one form of myth-making among many. In an essay in Artforum on an obscure early 20th century Italian occultist named Julius Evola, Pinchbeck — in a moment of arrogant elitism — notes that Evola’s “…perspective will only make sense for those who have discovered for themselves that the scientific rationalism of our materialist age is not the whole story.” Really? Who knew.
And yet he adds a level of crazed and earnest lunacy to his claims, pushing ontology well beyond the bounds most philosophers of science would be comfortable with. As one commentator notes, Pinchbeck “outed himself as a crazy fool.” Their discomfort, like anyone in academia who tries to push boundaries, is invariably a function of their need to concern themselves with tenure-review boards and other forms of censure and gatekeeping. Pinchbeck comes to the occult from the more direct route — as a writer, a bohemian, an outsider and an intellectual. No wonder, given his background.
Judging by his biographical details, the Beats were clearly in his blood. His mother dated Jack Kerouac and is a writer and poet in her own right. Pinchbeck’s parents were part of an “outsider elite,” and, perhaps not surprisingly, he doesn’t seem to have rebelled all that much. In this sense, Pinchbeck’s experientialist ideology, and his willingness to let his freak-flag fly, is old news. Colin Wilson’s book The Outsider, written in the mid-1950s, provides an archetype that would require little tailoring to fit Pinchbeck.
The article written about him in Rolling Stone portrays a character I can well imagine having met a hundred times hanging out at the university or the newest hipster bar on the main. His is a circle of Brooklynites who are, superficially at least, little different from the people I know. Disgruntled intellectuals, some pseudo, some not so pseudo, soured and aging graduate students in a race against advanced alcoholism, flakes of all description really.
The difference is that his scene is New York, and it’s the U.S., not Montreal, an aging French provincial outpost turned city of sin out on the very periphery of the empire. Pinchbeck is the most high-end form of scenester there is, pitching his own brand of drug — Dimethyltryptamine (DMT), a powerful hallucinogen that provides the out-of-body experience he uses for his shamanistic travels — and trying to get in the pants of any pretty girl that will give him the time of day.
Pinchbeck, you see, is a bit of a notorious letch. This born perhaps of his early life as a big nerd — playing chess and dungeons and dragons before he finally broke through to new horizons. The man is notorious for badgering, begging and whining until girls eventually capitulate to his “charm”. Here he and I differ significantly. He wrote an article in Esquire, for example, entitled “Hey Mister, Can You Dunk” about his experiences learning to play basketball properly in his late 20s! I was always more of a jock than that, and at 16 and 17 used to play pick-up basketball all over the city with guys twice my age. Pinchbeck and I definitely grew up on very different sides of the tracks and his effete qualities are the kind of thing that would have gotten me in more trouble than I was willing to fight my way out of. That is if it ever occured to me to act that way.
Perhaps this is the seminal difference between Pinchbeck’s somewhat fraudulent, self-aggrandizing, media-hungry approach, heavily immersed in a discourse of hedonism, literary elitism and egotism and my more hermetic and stoic search for meaning. I don’t have Pinchbeck’s melodramatic flair, but I don’t think I’d want it either.
Truth is, occult and esoteric knowledge has always been peddled by charlatans, montebanks and frauds of all description and in this regard the 21st century is no different. Anyway, Pinchbeck’s overall message is important — and one that may be crucial to our physical and psychic survival as a species. Here I do agree with Pinchbeck, who, in one of his essays, quotes Malraux to get his essential sentiment across, writing that “The twenty-first century will be mystical, or it will not be.”
Indeed, Mr. Pinchbeck, indeed.

1. Tim Says:
I’m not actually sure Pinchbeck would consider himself an “occultist” per se, based on what I’ve read and interacted with him. But that’s a probably pointless distinction based on what you’re trying to say here…
2. kimber the wolfgrrrl Says:
When it comes to Pinchbeck, I’ll give him a few more years before I take him too seriously. There are far too many hucksters in this line of study who quest after knowledge for the reflected mystique, in the hopes of getting a bit of sugar on the side, wink wink nudge nudge. No one’s motives are pure, surely, but I’ll let the test of time galvanize his theories and lend credence to his opinions. :)
Interesting post! I’ll most certainly be back to check out more.
3. MN Says:
We met him yesterday and he was a total prick to us and his audience. He actually chased someone down and asked them if they wanted his autograph. Unfortunately, his rock star status went to his head, and that really sucks because so much of what he has to say is valuable. I won’t be wasting my time, energy, or money on him again.
4. The Necromancer Says:
Hmmm…His message is important…The delivery, on the other hand…You could get much of what he says from a critical (radical?) vision of the history of science (e.g. Caroline Merchant’s The Death of Nature), but with a softer touch. Then again, without the rock star approach, it may never reach a wider audience…

8. nathan Says:
Hey all,
I have been volunteering/interning/working for free at some websites that Daniel helped create called realitysandwich.com and evolver.net. Through doing that I managed to get good real work during this recession with an Undergrad in Music of all things. Aparently business people like musicians. Anyway, no one is perfect. When you are in the public eye, many of your personal faults are revealed. I am sure most of you have social quirks that if you were being intensely analyzed 24/7 people would think poorly of you as well. I have met Daniel several times but mostly I kept quiet while around him because I have known a few successful musicians in my life and the last thing a public person wants to hear about in private are things that they’ve put their soul into and spent many years of their life completely dedicated to the work involved. I have never personally seen Daniel do anything socially disturbing but I have often heard about it, I honestly like to keep to my own personal business and try to work out my own many faults. I don’t quite understand his sexuality but for some reason people seem to think it is important. I read somewhere in my internet procrastination at work that he had a spinal problem as a young man and had to be in the hospital for at least a year. Also note that there is a lot of social pressure in NYC to be cool, to fit in, dress right, and get laid.
Maybe this is the hypocracy that people are trying to point out. While he talks about improving the self to improve life around you, he is not making leaps and bounds in his public sexual personna. Working with him and the rest of the “scene” has been interesting and challenging. I think the term “scenester” or “hipster” is prevalant in being involved with these people but not the point whatsoever. That is actually a really old term, I’ve heard my dad talk about hipsters when he lived in new york. The term is so vague, you could call a person who has absolutely no interest in esoterica but is really into fashion a hipster. I think the term should be avoided because it is a judgement made almost fully on the outer core, visual, or material of a person. For that matter a persons sexual failures really doesn’t have much to do with their academic achievement or quality of their work. Who cares if he’s a egomaniacal, hipocritical, elitist! He wrote a book that made you think, become interested, and learn for yourself and that is quite an achievement.
9. The Necromancer Says:
You make very valid points. Nobody’s perfect. Actually, I think 2012: The Return of Quetzalcoalt is well-written and wide ranging. But it’s nothing that Castaneda didn’t do with more texture, humility and soul.
I understand the pressures of celebrity. They are, I suspect, similar to pressures we all have — to fit in, get laid, be cool. Yet there is a contradiction between his behavior and his beliefs, I think. And this isn’t necessarily about sex. Who among us is Sir Percival? More about ontology, I guess.
You are a bit of a booster for the Pinchbeck cause. That’s fine. All I offer is criticism (which happens to come up first in a Goggle search…). There are other voices in this chorus too. There will be more when the full pop culture impact of his ideas becomes more prevalent.
I’m not really trying to psychoanalyze Pinchbeck. He does that well himself. If anything, I think he prompts self-reflection. And some intriguing possibilities…
Heck, I’m a couple of years younger than the guy and what have I done? He’s tremendously productive, successful and talented. How can you fault him beyond asking bigger questions about his ideas and life?
Which is what I have tried to do…
10. Justin Says:
I read this guy’s first book and he smelled like a hack from page two. The New Age movement is wrought with narcissism and people wanting to cash in on indigenous knowledge — financially as well as spiritually — strip mining various cultures for the purposes of evading their own personal crises of meaninglessness.
Meaninglessness is key here because New Agers’ quest is not to understand the world as it is, but to develop their own egos. It is a fascination with self-identity and a path to weekend warriorship, a way to bliss out on nature — without dealing with the hardship, disease, famine and intense physical labor at the whim and mercy of an unforgiving as well as bountiful Earth. New Agers forget that the hardship, scarcity, lack — these “bummer” emotions influenced the “Earth honoring” rituals and beliefs they have stolen from Native Peoples at least as much as the positive ones.
New York hipsters don’t know lack, scarcity or hardship. Not getting laid by a different girl every night is not hardship. My problem with Pinchbeck’s writing is not whether or not he is an arrogant prick, but whether or not he has anything real or true to say. I am convinced that he does not. He’s just another Western tourist with a big mouth and nothing substantive to original to say about his acidhead experiences.
Castenada was the Grandmaster Pimp Daddy of using his bullshitting talents to con, seduce, and shamelessly exploit others–especially women. But at least it can be said he did it with more charm, and so convincingly that he fooled the UCLA anthro department into just handing him a Ph.D for writing a novel! Pinchbeck can’t even manage to pull the wool over the NYT Sunday Book Review! Castaneda was a great storyteller, a genius in fact. It took months of scholarly work and literature review to dig up all the source material for his fantastic stories.
Yet, people were hurt by the lies and hurt by their own self-deceptions required to buy into the bullshit in the first place. We don’t need shamanism to show us how to do it. Nobody needs a guru to tell them how it is. Everyone is smart enough to discover (not manufacture) meaning for themselves. Unfortunately, most people are too intellectually and spiritually lazy and would happily tug like a child on the coatsleeves of the leading narcissists of our age, begging them for all the answers.
We don’t need an irrelevent psuedo-Maya apocalypse to inspire us to live better, let alone a million hacks’ crackpot analyses of said psuedo-apocalypse. I’ve never sat down and said, “Gosh, I sure wish I had a better cultural meme to help me figure it all out.”
The minute we let go of trying to enhance, develop, study, identify and search out meaning for “me” the moment these quests seem like fools’ errands and we can look at life around us without the slimy shellac of dogma and theory that coats every hungry, misguided desire for meaning.
11. The Necromancer Says:
Wow. This is some cold-forged, high-grade criticism, bro. I can’t say I don’t disagree with you about the finer points of this pointed rant. I might be inclined to give Castenada more credit than you do here, especially since I find him to be a pretty high-caliber writer and communicator.
But as to the rest, the New Age is, as usual, in a constant state of crisis. What passes for real transgressive thought is instantaneously absorbed by the status quo, used to sell and market and aggrandize by those who wish to be aggrandized.
It’s a tough sell, but maybe that’s the problem — people ought to stop selling (or consulting, as they call it) and start living…

Thread: Diarrhoea- Infection?Lactose Intolerance? Lactose Overload?
1. #1
Question Diarrhoea- Infection?Lactose Intolerance? Lactose Overload?
Diarrhoea- Infection?Lactose Intolerance? Lactose Overload?
Hello All,
This is my 1st post so please excuse me if I ramble.
Here's the thing-
My DD is now 12 weeks old. When she was born I had severe nipple cracks, bleeding etc and hence began to express and feed. We couldn't hack it with the cup/ spoon/ dropper and so finally succumbed to the bottle (terrible, right?).I started getting better and gradually put her back on to the breast. We had/have latch problems etc but about 6 weeks ago I switched her entirely onto the breast. She would be there all day! I guess the latch and positioning was still ineffective.
A few days after we started EBFing, her poop became runny and got progressively worse. Took her to two docs and finally, after a lot of testing and an entire course of antibiotics (said it was a viral intestinal infection), they both thought she should be taken off the breast (temporary Lactose Intolerance) and fed with Soy based Formula!!!!!!!
Finally after about 7 days on Soy (she had 1 toothpaste consistency, yellow ochre Bowel Movement a day) one of the doctors(the one we stuck with) said to reintroduce BM alternating with Soy. s\Since then, She goes once a day and has this strange part toothpaste part liquidy yellowish/ greenish EXTREMELY foul smelling poop.
What do i do? What is wrong? Have read tonnes about Secondary Lactose intolerance, Lactose Overload and proper latching techniques but I am still throughly confused as to how to address this situation. Please Please help. Thanks!

Welcome to the forum!
Can you describe the poops that made you worry so much that you took the baby to the doc? Were they green? Bloody? Mucousy? Explosive? Was baby's weight gain normal during the period in which she was exclusively breastfed? Did you feel like you were coping with a milk oversupply?
The reason I ask is that in a baby who is growing normally and is otherwise healthy, weird looking/smelling poops are generally nothing to worry about, and not a reason to switch to formula.
At this point, some weird-looking poops are to be expected. The ochre toothpaste poop is formula. Yellowish-greenish liquidy poop is breastmilk. The foul-smelling part... Well, it could be the formula. Formula poop smells nasty compared to the average breastmilk poop. But if your baby has a lactose overload thing going on, then yucky smells are probably part of that package.
So if your baby still has some sort of lactose overload issue going on, then is that a health problem? As long as your baby isn't suffering from congenital lactose intolerance (which rare and is a real health problem) or other metabolic disorder (see this link: http://kellymom.com/health/baby-heal...e-intolerance/), then the weird poops may be something you just put up with. My second kid struggled with lactose overload from my extremely abundant milk supply, and she had consistently green, occasionally blood-streaked/specked poop from about 3 weeks until around 6 months. But she grew and developed completely normally, no formula needed.

Please tell me that you did not see TWO doctors who told you to stop nursing your baby-stop giving her the precious food designed by biology JUST for her only due to 'runny poops."
Breastmilk poops ARE 'runny.' They are supposed to be....
Are you breastfeeding now? Does it still hurt you? Does your baby gain appropriately as long as she is getting ENOUGH breastmilk-as far as you can tell?

The proceeds from the 4 nights of haunted fun will go towards replacing equipment and gear for the fire fighters.
Tonight's opening marks the 15th year of their haunted house, and they're still finding new ways to make folks scream.

Had Smart Lipo on 7/12/11 - San Ramon, CA
Had upper & lower abs and flanks done 2 days...
Had upper & lower abs and flanks done 2 days ago. Te entire surgery took 6 hours because I had some very tough "gristly" fat in my upper abdomen. I thought the surgery itself was mildly painful but bearable. The worst part was lying still on my back for so long. That night I felt very sick and threw up.
Dr. Riopelle and his staff were amazing. Everyone was patient and understanding. That made all the difference.
I was miserable and could barely get out of bed. Today is a tiny bit better but still difficult to walk or get dressed.
So far my stomach looks flat but I'm very swollen. My first follow up is tomorrow.
Dr. Riopelle
Love my doctor and his staff. I will post pics later.

Boy injures arm on ferris wheel
Last updated 13:00 18/02/2013
Ferris wheel
TAKE CARE: A 4-year-old boy was injured at this Ferris wheel on Saturday.
Relevant offers
A 4-year-old Nelson boy was injured after he got his arm stuck in the ferris wheel at Murchison's A&P show.
The boy suffered moderate arm injuries in the accident and was flown to Nelson Hospital with his family for further treatment about 3pm on Saturday.
Murchison Volunteer Fire Brigade support officer Peter Holland said he was manning the volunteer stand when the little boy's mother approached him.
He did not know how the injury occurred or who freed the boy.
"Mum arrived with a screaming little fella, it looked like fairly serious injuries from what I could see," Mr Holland said.
He said the child had serious abrasions on one arm, which the mother claimed had been pulled behind his back by a rope.
"He was certainly a very distressed and sore little boy," said Mr Holland.
After calling 111, he concentrated on keeping the boy and his mother calm until paramedics arrived.
St John team manager Jon Leach said the boy's arm was caught between the chair and the swing arm on the ride.
Show co-ordinator Sue Cooper said she could not comment as the incident was not reported to A&P show management or Motueka company Sturgeon's Amusements, which supplied the fairground rides.
The boy was in Nelson Hospital in a stable condition on Monday morning.
The A&P show itself featured vintage machinery, shearing and wood chopping competitions, Ken White's duck-herding sheepdog and terrier races among other attractions.
Many visitors were surprised by a large swarm of bumblebees, but the Department of Conservation's Sandra Wotherspoon said the bees were a normal part of Murchison's natural landscape.
Linda Stewart came to Murchison from Christchurch to enter her terrier, Summer, in the dog race.
"I saw the terrier races and I thought, ‘I've just got to have a go at this,"' Ms Stewart said.
Terrier owners used dog treats, squeaky toys, special calls and even a dead stoat to make their dogs run towards them from across the showgrounds.
DOC ranger Mike Gillies said he was trying to train his terrier, Minute, to hunt mustelids, hence the stoat.
The event was won by last year's champion, Winston, who is owned by Murchison's Braedyn Smith.
Miniature ponies; showjumping and hand-showing; handicrafts, vegetables and gardening; a dog-sled demonstration run by Nelson's Chugiak Kennels and the Western-themed Cowboy Challenge rounded the day out.

By Terry Rouge Terrybly Shimmer lipsticks
Part of the shimmer fantasy holiday collection, the Rouge Terrybly Shimmer Age Defense Lipstick (£31) are a shimmery version of the Rouge Terrybly, which I am a fan of due to the rich pigment, smooth coverage and long wear. The shimmer version possess these same attributes.
Out of the 5 shades I got No.802 Love Me Tender (apricot)
and No. 803 Love Affair (very cool toned pink).
The shimmer in both shades has a very pretty luminous quality,the colours are vibrant.
Whilst I do not find these that moisturising; the pigment, colours and wear is exceptional.
My mother bought me these from
1. They both look beautiful but oh my, that apricot looks amazing! Gorgeous.

Bush: We Need To Stay In Iraq to Protect Oil Fields
By Conor Clarke on August 31, 2005 at 1:38 pm
"Bush: We Need To Stay In Iraq to Protect Oil Fields"
google plus icon
It’s not breaking news that, in response to protests and plummeting polls, President Bush and company have launched a frenzied PR campaign to defend the war in Iraq. And it’s equally unsurprising that, to make the case, the president employs the soaring rhetoric of freedom and responsibility, or, as he did last week, praises the sacrifices of American families. But in comments yesterday at California’s North Island Naval Air Station, Bush rolled out a new rationale for why we should stay in Iraq:
In other words, Bush publicly acknowledged (for the first time, according to the Boston Globe) what many had already feared: he believes we need to stay the course, in part, maintain control of oil supplies in the country.
Points for honesty?

Amateur radio callsigns of the Middle East
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Jump to: navigation, search
Amateur radio or ham radio call signs are unique identifiers for about 9,100 licensed operators in the Middle East. Call signs are regulated internationally by the International Telegraph Union (ITU) and nationally by local government and international agencies in Israel, Jordan, Lebanon, Syria, The Palestine Authority, occupied territories and other nations or DXCC entities. Since callsign allocation from the ITU is administered by national political authorities and international mandates, it is a story of transition, compromise, and internationally unrecognized operation to follow the history of such allocations in the 20th century in this area.[1]
Call sign blocks for telecommunication[edit]
The ITU has assigned countries in the Middle East the following call sign blocks for all radio communication, broadcasting or transmission:[2]
Call sign block DXCC Entity Apprx. # hams[3]
A4A-A4Z Oman 170
A6A-A6Z United Arab Emirates 64
A7A-A7Z Qatar 65
A9A-A9Z Bahrain 23
EPA-EQZ, 9B-9D Iran 4(?)
E4A-E4Z Palestinian Authority 28
HZA-HZZ, 7Z, 8Z Saudi Arabia 560
JYA-JYZ Jordan (Hashemite Kingdom of) 92
OD5AA-OD5ZZ Lebanon 23
SUA-SUZ, 6A-6B, SSA-SSM Egypt 113
TAA-TCZ, YMA-YMZ Turkey 4,689
YKA-YKZ, 6CA-6CZ Syria 30
ZC4 Cyprus, UK Sovereign Base Area 52
4XA-4XZ, 4ZA-4ZZ Israel 2,135
5B, C4, H2, P3, P3Ø, P36 Cyprus, Republic of 643
7OA-7OZ Yemen Republic 13
9KA-9KZ Kuwait 240
The DXCC deleted entities list notes that for the British Protectorate prefix of ZC6 and the Palestine prefix of 4X1, only contacts made June 30, 1968, and before, count for Palestine as an entity. Contacts made July 1, 1968, and after, count as Israel (4X).[4]
4W used to be a prefix for Yemen, but only contacts made May 21, 1990, and before, count for this entity. With the merger of North and South Yemen, only "7O" is used. However, amateur operation from this entity is extremely rare.
While not directly related to call signs, the ITU further has divided all countries assigned amateur radio prefixes into three regions; the Middle East is located in ITU Region 1. It is assigned ITU Zone 39 with Egypt being mainly in ITU Zone 38 and Iran in ITU Zone 40, and CQ Zones 20 & 21 with Egypt mainly in CQ Zone 34.
History of call sign allocation[edit]
The callsign allocation history of this region is complex and follows the political interests of various countries who exercised political control in the region. It also changed in relation to various independence movements, particularly following World War II.
However, as early as 1931 the prefix "AP" (i.e., for Asia/Pacific) arose for the region. Today that is used for Pakistan.
Before 1945 the prefixes ZC1 and ZC6 were used for Transjordan and Palestine respectively, still seen as a British Protectorate.
International Radiotelegraph Conferences[edit]
The conference held in 1927 assigned call prefixes to Persia (RVA-RVZ), Egypt (SUA-SUZ), Turkey (TAA-TCZ), and Iraq (YIA-YIZ). These, however, did not necessarily include amateur radio operation.[5] Middle East areas administered politically by mandated countries (i.e., Great Britain's mandate over Palestine) adopted call sign regulations of those entities.
The 1947 Atlantic City ITU Conference reallocated call sign blocks to Iraq (HNA-HNZ, YIA-YIZ), Egypt (SSA-SUZ), Turkey (TAA-TCZ, YMA-YMZ), and to British Colonies and Protectorates (ZBA-ZJZ, ZNA-ZOZ, ZQA-ZQZ, and 4PA-4SZ). The United Nations was assigned 4UA-4UZ which sometimes was used in the Middle East.[6]
Cyprus, including UK Sovereign Base Areas and northern Cyprus[edit]
The island of Cyprus includes two DXCC entities as well as one other recognized only by the government of Turkey.
The Republic of Cyprus became independent from Great Britain in 1960. It has de jure governance over most of the island of Cyprus, except for the United Kingdom Sovereign Base Areas (SBA) of Akrotiri and Dhekelia in the south and east of the island. The Turkish Republic of Northern Cyprus is a self-proclaimed state on the part of the island occupied by Turkey. This situation came about after a Turkish invasion of the island in 1974 and a unilateral declaration of independence for the north in 1983. The international community, including the United Nations and the European Union, recognises the de jure sovereignty of the Republic of Cyprus over the entire island, less the SBAs.
The ITU has assigned "5B", "C4", "H2" and "P3" prefixes to the Republic of Cyprus. As the SBAs are not under the sovereignty of Cyprus, Great Britain assigns the pre-1960 colonial call sign prefix "ZC4" to roughly 50 amateur radio operators in the SBAs.
Northern Cyprus uses the prefix block of "1BA-1BZ", which has not been allocated by the ITU,[7] for its radio operation. There is regular tension with the block's use, especially for visitors to the north who sign with a "1B/" prefix. Operators in the south tell them to use "5B/".[8]
What is known today as Syria was part of the Ottoman Empire until World War I. In 1920 it became a League of Nations French Mandate, which included Lebanon. Syria became republic in 1946 with France's withdrawal.
Intermediate callsign prefixes of "AR" were available to amateurs in the region until after World War II. In 1949 the Syrian Amateur Radio League was formed and YK1 was adopted as the Syrian prefix. Syria has made use of the "6C" prefix for special events. United Nations peacekeepers in the border area with Israel have used their callsigns with a "/YK" added.
Palestine and Transjordan/Jordan[edit]
Callsigns until 1945 were split between ZC1 for Transjordan and ZC6 for Palestine, as part of Great Britain's scheme for overseas radio. All the stations belonged to members of the British Forces. Palestine counted as a separate DXCC country for contacts made until June 30, 1968, as the British still granted licences mainly to their own nationals. After the creation of the State of Israel, UN Headquarters retained the use of the ZC6 prefix with station ZC6UNJ at the Jerusalem headquarters.
Jordan changed to the JY prefix under the use of British personnel in the area. King Hussein in the 1950s was an amateur radio operator and popularized the use of the JY1 prefix for foreigners and citizens following the British exodus from the region.
Palestine was added to the DXCC List under paragraph b) effective 1 October 1999, with start date of 1 February 1999. The only prefix acceptable is E4 since the call-sign group ZC6 is registered for Great Britain and its overseas possessions. Under the DXCC rules, contacts with the deleted entity of Palestine made prior to June 30, 1968 do not count for this entity. There is no commonality of territory or administration. E4 is in WAZ Zone 20, ITU Zone 39.[9]
The September before the creation of the State of Israel, the station ZC6AA identified its location as "Tel Aviv, Israel." [10]
4X and 4Z were activated when the state of Israel was proclaimed, however afterwards some individual operators adopted call signs assuming that the territory was still "Arab Palestine". The UN Headquarters signed "Jerusalem" in 1947 and "Jerusalem, Palestine" in 1957, with callsigns ZC6UNJ and ZC6UNU.
During the Suez crisis in 1957, some Israeli operators signed in the Sinai with an Israelis prefix, but with a /SINAI appended to their call sign.
Israel can issue a National Israeli call sign in the series 4Z8 to foreign amateurs whose countries participate in the CEPT Recommendation T/R 61-02.
The Israeli Amateur Radio Club (IARC) was founded on February 18, 1948, and is a member at IARU.[11] Presently call signs are issued within Israel by the Ministry of Communications according to this table:
Call sign block License Category
4XØ, 4ZØ, 4X2, 4Z2, 4X3, 4Z3, 4X5, 4Z6, 4X7, 4X9 Special Events
4X1AA-4X1ZZ, 4Z1AA-4Z1ZZ Extra/Class A
4X4AA-4X4ZZ, 4Z4AA-4Z4ZZ, 4Z5AA-4Z5ZZ, 4X6AA-4X6ZZ General/Class B
4Z9AAA-4Z9ZZZ Novice/Class C
4Z7AAA-4Z7ZZZ Technician/Class D
4X8AA-4X8ZZ Honorary
4Z8AA-4Z8ZZ Foreign
In July 2012 a 4Z5 operator was upgraded to class A without a callsign change.
Gaza became part of the British Mandate following World War I. After the 1948 Arab/Israeli war Gaza was administered by Egypt, but was captured by Israel in the 1967 war. In 1993 the area was transferred to the Palestinian National Authority. After Egypt's loss of Gaza to Israel in 1967, amateur radio operation by civilians was generally forbidden. UN stations sometimes added "/4U" to their national call signs and one added the British Protectorate prefix "/ZC6" to his.
On 2 December 1994 the Palestine Authority for Gaza and Jericho issued the call-signs to Palestine nationals, ZC6A to Ali Yashruti and ZC6B to Dr. Sama Tarazi (previously KF2GJ) who ran a short operation from the Gaza strip, using the historic call sign ZC6B. Designations used by foreigners have been /GAZA and /ZC6 following their own national call signs. This practice continued until as late as 2001.
In 1999 Palestine was allocated the E4 block of call signs and the Palestine Authority granted visitor licenses. Some Hungarian and Japanese nationals used /E4 following their call signs from that date.
In October 2012, an E40 call was issued to a Gaza ham who calls on the Jerusalem (Israel Amateur Radio Club) R1 repeater. Since that call was already issued by the Palestinian Authority to a Russian DX'er, as of early December 2012 he started using E44M. He was off the repeater during most of November 2012 due to obvious reasons.
Amateur radio in Lebanon is governed by the Ministry of Telecommunications including the Ministry of Defense- Intelligence Unit and Ministry of Transport-Civil aviation.[12] Reciprocal and temporary licenses are offered in Lebanon by the Ministry of Telecommunications on a case by case basis, as Lebanon has no agreements with any other country.
The ITU assigns the call sign block ODA-ODZ to Lebanon. Until the mid-1950s amateurs there operated with an AR8 prefix.
Saudi Arabia[edit]
Saudi public amateur radio licensing commenced in 2004, as the Saudi Communications and Information Technology Commission took over regulation within the HZ, 7Z and 8Z ITU call sign area. Foreign hams before then could operate from club stations, like the Dhahran Amateur Radio Club (HZ1AB).[13]
HZ1AB was originally the United States Military Training Mission and the station formally closed in 2004. The call sign is now issued to a Saudi national.
After deregulation, there are now about 500 licensed radio amateurs in Saudi Arabia. Class 1 licensees (HF,VHF & SHF) are using the prefixes HZ1 or 7Z1, HZ2, 7Z2 stations have licenses class 2 (VHF & SHF only).
Saudi Arabia has constructed OSCAR satellites for amateur use. Saudi-OSCAR 41 (SO-41, Saudisat 1A) and Saudi-OSCAR 42 (SO-42, Saudisat 1B) were both launched on 2000-09-26 and are now non-operational. Saudi-OSCAR 50 (SO-50, Saudisat-1C) was launched 2002-12-20 and remains operational.
The club station 7O1AA operated for six months in 1990. On May 22, 1990 Yemen Arab Republic (4W) and People's Democratic Republic of Yemen (7O) were deleted from the DXCC list as the two countries united into one becoming Yemen (7O). There have been various claims that no amateur station licenses have been issued since. North Korea and Yemen remain the only two national jurisdictions which do not issue amateur radio licenses to their citizens.[14]
Accoding to an editorial by Bernie McClenny, W3UR, in "The Daily DX", after the creation of the DXCC entity for unified Yemen, a team from Kuwait consisting of 9K2CS, 9K2DR and 9K2EC operated as 7O1AA in late May and early June 1990. Shorty after F2VX and F6EXV operated as 7O8AA during late July and early August 1990. And finally OH2YY was QRV as 7O/OH2YY in early May 2002. Each of these were accepted by ARRL for DXCC. There have been several operations from 7O that did not count for DXCC (7O1A - 1996, 7O1YGF - 2000)."[15]
The ARRL DXCC desk does also recognize the Yemen operation by Pekka Ahlqvist, OH2YY, in May 2002 as it was conducted with written approval from the Yemeni government.[16] A recent operation from Socotra Island using callsign 7O6T took place in May 2012. It was organized by a multinational team led by Dmitri Zhikharev RA9USU from Russia.[17]

- The Washington Times - Friday, June 18, 2010
By John Hofmeister
Palgrave Macmillan, $27,
256 pages
(Corrected paragraph): John Hofmeister, president of Shell Oil from 1998 to 2009, blames our unsustainable energy future on the nation’s hostile regulatory environment toward oil companies and other fossil-fuel suppliers. Adding insult to injury, the public blames oil giants for the country’s energy problems, failing to appreciate that the prices and behaviors of these companies are often the result of government and market forces beyond their control.
Yet the companies don’t stand up for themselves, says Mr. Hofmeister, who in his new book, “Why We Hate the Oil Companies,” cites the fact that in Gallup’s annual favorability rating poll of the 24 largest U.S. industries, the oil industry has ranked at the very bottom for the past seven years. It’s also reflected in the simultaneous outcry against BP for its inability to plug an oil leak under about a mile of water and the virtual ignorance of the fact that it’s because of government regulations that such pipelines are so far out to sea in the first place.
Mr. Hofmeister suggests that the oil industry is so unpopular because individual companies are intense rivals and have little interest in vouching for the entire industry. Yet perhaps the most important reason, one the author doesn’t bring up, is that the oil companies are rightly scared of what the government would do to them if they weren’t cooperative at congressional hearings.
Also, the economic explanations that companies could offer probably would not be well-received by a public with, in Mr. Hofmeister’s words, “hearts and minds that have been taught to shut down” when energy companies speak.
Yet we need fossil fuels. As Mr. Hofmeister points out, only 2 to 3 percent of energy needs are supplied by nontraditional sources such as wind, solar and biofuels despite substantial subsidies with taxpayer dollars.
“Every form of energy has an impact on the environment. Clean energy is a relative, not an absolute, term,” Mr. Hofmeister says wisely. He emphasizes that while we should consider the environment, we also have to be realistic about what it takes to provide energy to hundreds of millions of Americans.
Not surprisingly, he supports tapping into the nation’s vast fossil-fuel reserves, which should last us until other technologies become competitive. As fossil fuels do, indeed, become scarce, private companies will have increasingly greater economic incentives to invest in alternative energy sources.
Mr. Hofmeister singles out corn ethanol as being particularly unrealistic. Indeed, it’s costly to make, doesn’t contain as much usable energy as gasoline and is expensive to transport because it can’t be transmitted via pipelines due to water condensation. In addition to being economically inefficient, it’s far from clear that it’s even environmentally friendly because, as the author points out, growing vast amounts of corn means greater erosion, clearing of land and use of more chemical fertilizers.
The author correctly says the federal government is incapable of bringing about the needed deregulation of the fossil-fuel sectors. Since 1973, when President Nixon promised energy independence, eight presidents and 18 Congresses have failed to deliver. This indicates to him a systemic problem, rather than shortcomings of individual administrations.
Politicians make bad decisions because they think they know more than they do, Mr. Hofmeister says. He writes, “Some smart staffer in the House or Senate who may have never set foot on an oil rig or visited a drilling site came up with the idea that oil companies were sitting on thousands of leases that they could otherwise be producing, deliberately forcing the price of oil higher.”
Additionally, worries about re-election impel politicians to try to look good by restricting oil drilling and supporting renewable energies even if such steps are poor long-term solutions. This leads to what Mr. Hofmeister considers a profound disconnect with oil companies, which operate on much longer time spans than election cycles.
“The oil that will be in gas pumps and cars and planes and ships for the next 8 to 10 years has already been secured,” he says. Private corporations, not the government, can solve our long-term energy problems, but it may make sense to impose parameters so they don’t destroy the environment at the same time.
What is Mr. Hofmeister’s solution? He proposes the creation of a Federal Energy Resources Board to decide what technologies are most appropriate for energy and the environment. He suggests that it be modeled after the Federal Reserve and be independent from the government to exempt itself from partisan politics.
He writes, “In my mind, there is no difference between NASA deciding what technologies are used for space research and travel, relying on industry and science wherever it can be found, and the Federal Energy Resources Board deciding what technologies are most appropriate for energy and the environment, relying on all available sources.”
Mr. Hofmeister isn’t very specific about what powers this board should have, but earlier in the book, he suggests a cap-and-trade, market-based program, which he says he prefers to regulatory mandates “because it is arguably more democratic and less bureaucratic.”
Alas, quantifying environmental costs is very difficult, and Mr. Hofmeister admits that no one knows how much a cap-and-trade program would really cost. Charging too much for emissions is just as bad as charging too little, and it’s not obvious that any agency, independent or not, would have the right incentives to try to decide on the most appropriate tax rate.
Mr. Hofmeister’s hopes for creating a wise and effective board that would be truly independent of government interests are far-fetched. Yet he does his country a favor by pointing the finger of blame at the government and not at oil companies, which, every time there’s a major hurricane, are used as scapegoats so politicians don’t have to take responsibility for the fundamental causes of the nation’s daunting energy situation. We need more voices like Mr. Hofmeister’s.

Suspect released after suspicious bag found at NLR State Revenue Office

Video: Suspect released after suspicious bag found at NLR State Rev

NORTH LITTLE ROCK, Ark. (KTHV) - Authorities released a suspect who was arrested Wednesday morning after a suspicious bag was found at the State Revenue Office off JFK Blvd. in North Little Rock.
Sgt. Brian Dedrick said a man reportedly became irate and left a suspicious backpack inside of the building.
"Due to all the recent events, and this backpack being left inside after he was disgruntled so we're just being on the safe side," Sgt. Dedrick said.
The Little Rock Bomb Squad, the ATF, and Arkansas State Police were called in to assist.
Captain Jason Weaver with the Little Rock Fire Department, and the Bomb Squad, says his team took all precautions.
"Better safe than sorry...our guys suited up, went inside. X-rayed the bag, had a few items in there that looked interesting on the x-ray but further evaluation found everything to be harmless, and pretty much just standard personal items," Captain Weaver said.
Captain Weaver said the man became upset about with one of the workers in the revenue division.
"I believe it was more anti-government, anti-system, he wasn't happy with the services he was receiving," Captain Weaver said.
Jacob Marsh was standing just outside, mailing an envelope, and was told to move away from the building as emergency crews arrived.
"I mean I'm not really worried about it, I mean it is kind of nerve-wracking because it's just been what, two weeks now, that something like that happened. So you kind of hope it's not that situation but if it is, we'll deal with it and move on," Marsh stated.
And emergency responders say even though they didn't find anything dangerous in the backpack, they weren't willing to take a chance.
"Every run that we make, we take as serious. A lot of the information we get, everybody is real relaxed and laid back and think there's not much of a threat there. We try to take every precaution and treat it as real every time," Weaver said.
Shara Brazear with the North Little Rock School District said Indian Hills Elementary was placed on lockdown as a precaution during this time.
Dedrick said a man was taken in custody after being found walking about two blocks away from the Revenue Office. However, he was released Wednesday afternoon when authorities determined there were only personal items in the backpack and the man had no criminal intent.
The man in question does have several arrest warrants in other states, but he was not held on those warrants since the states involved would not extradite him.

Keep the umbrella and jacket handy again today, because cool temperatures and more rain showers are expected in the San Antonio area.
After a cold front arrived in the region over the weekend, nearly one-third of an inch of rain was recorded at San Antonio International Airport on Sunday as temperatures hovered in the low 50s, according to the National Weather Service.
The day's high temperature of 56 was recorded early Sunday and readings were expected to drop to the upper 30s early today, forecasters said.
Since a front brought rain to the area Friday evening, San Antonio has seen about a half-inch of rain, according to the weather service. The front's effects were felt more in New Braunfels and San Marcos, where about 1.25 inches of rain fell over the weekend.
Today's high will be 52, with a 30 percent chance of showers before noon.
“It's going to be a dreary, cool day,” forecaster Joe Baskin said.
Tonight's overnight low is predicted to stay above freezing at 37, and Tuesday will also be cloudy and cool, but the sun will probably come back out Wednesday. A freeze is possible Tuesday night but more likely Wednesday and Thursday, according to the NWS.

Starting a New Year
Last year was a roller coaster for homeschool freedom. One month homeschooling under the private school exemption was proclaimed illegal in California, the next month it was in limbo, and then, in August, it was safe again. Even though God gave homeschoolers a tremendous victory in the Jonathan L. decision, many in California still did not feel safe, concerned that the legality of homeschooling could change in the blink of an eye. The attorneys and staff at Home School Legal Defense Association can tell you that Californians were not alone. We heard from homeschoolers all over the country who felt the same uneasiness.
Five months have passed since the Jonathan L. decision on August 8, 2008. We have found that while many public school officials still oppose home education and try to intimidate families contemplating homeschooling into choosing public school instead, for the most part, the officials have resigned themselves to the fact that homeschooling is legal in California under the private school exemption.
During the last five months, our members have experienced several attempts by public school officials to “verify” that the members’ private schools (homeschools) are in compliance with the state’s private school requirements by requesting information regarding curriculum, teacher qualifications, and attendance. However, HSLDA’s legal department has communicated with those school officials on behalf of our members, citing the decision in the Jonathan L. case, which stated:
We note here that the school district verifies only if a private school affidavit has been filed; the district is granted no authority by this provision to confirm that the private school is in compliance with the other requirements of the private school exemption.
Usually, reading this citation was enough to cause the officials to drop their demands for verification.
While the public school establishment is never likely to give its full support to homeschooling or recognize homeschooling’s success, there are things we can do to strengthen the validity and legality of homeschooling. We need to continue to pursue excellence in our homeschooling programs, to know and stand on our homeschooling rights, and, most of all, to seek and rely upon God’s protection.

Baldwin’s news isn’t always ‘fun’
June 30, 2005
It's been quite a news year around Baldwin City. While there has been plenty of good news, we've had way more than our share of bad news.
I can't think of any worse news or harder story to do than on last year's unexpected death of 13-year-old Krystal Bateson, which is outlined in this week's issue of the Signal. I've had to write a lot of tough stories over the decades, but I can't recall one tougher than that.
It still saddens me, even a year later, to think about it. I can't imagine what a rough year it's been for the Batesons. I certainly still feel for them, too. The thought of losing a child is too much for me.
But, it did happen, to a Baldwin City teen. It can happen here.
And, I'm afraid, that's been the theme for Baldwin City this year. It can happen here. It has too many times.
Starting with Krystal's untimely death while attending a softball tournament, the Signal has had to report too many stories that weren't good news this year. While her's was the toughest, none of the other ones were "fun," either.
First was the plot found on the Internet where a Baldwin youth detailed his plans to disrupt the annual Maple Leaf Festival using fire and pipe bombs. Luckily, that was discovered before the festival and nothing came from it.
Next was the shotgun incident in the Baldwin High School parking lot where a weapon was allegedly pulled out of car by a student. Luckily, again, nothing came from it. However, I sure thought of that about the time the latest school tragedy happened on an Indian reservation in Minnesota where several people ended up dead.
Unfortunately, there are more examples. Baker University had its share of bad news with various alleged fights, assaults, vandalism and car wrecks. There were other incidents at Baldwin High, including alcohol being consumed during the school day in the building.
The rest of the city wasn't immune, either. There was the news about five sexual offenders registered in Baldwin City. There have been too many reports of domestic violence and crime this year, too.
Yes, it can happen here.
In fact, in just the last two weeks we've had two other stories. Last week it was the city council's violation of the Open Meetings Law from a special meeting June 2 when the Signal wasn't notified. This week there's word about more than $200,000 missing from the Willow Springs Township, presumably taken over the last several years.
I had never called the Attorney General's office until last week. I would have never believed I'd use "FBI probe" in a headline for a story about the Baldwin area. Never is a very long time. I learned that, once again, in back-to-back weeks.
And, I'm afraid, there's more such "bad" news on the horizon. Let's just say the next few weeks could prove to be very interesting.
No, there's no doubt. It can happen here, whatever your definition of it is. We can only hope that not too much of it happens and that we all strive to do what we can so it doesn't.
Regardless, we do have to acknowledge it and know that it's here. Heads in the sand do no one any good. We'll certainly be keeping our head up, no matter what comes our way in the next year.
We owe it to you, even if it isn't "fun."

Man Utd coach Scholes demands greater daily intensity from youth teamers
Manchester United U19 assistant coach Paul Scholes has challenged their youth players to step up their commitment.
Scholes says it's time for United’s youth players to increase their daily intensity in training.
"That has to be their aim now," instructed Scholes. "If they want to progress. They have got to start doing well in training every day and impressing Warren (Joyce) and Nicky (Butt).
"They need to make sure they get into that Under-21 team and, if they get in, they must make sure they produce."

Authority to adopt ordinances; penalties.
(a) In addition to all other powers and duties which county commissions now possess by law, county commissions may make, pass or adopt and enforce ordinances considered necessary by the county commission that are not contrary to the constitution or the laws of this state: Provided, That no county commission may make, pass or adopt any ordinance levying taxes or providing for the collection of fees.
(b) Any ordinances made, passed or adopted by a county commission may prescribe a penalty or fine for failure to comply with the provisions of the ordinance.

Users feedback
I would like to say how useful your site has been to me. I recently asked a question about a poem that I was given by a guy while I was in a book shop. As he had left out the first two lines I just couldn't trace who wrote it, or what it was called. I asked the question and the next day I had all the information I wanted (plus a new poets work to explore) thanks to a super guy who knew it well!
I've asked for Latin translations, because my Latin is rusty and had an answer straight away. I have learnt so much from those answers on site.
Well done everyone, what a super idea!
My thanks also to all who take time to look at and answer my questions.
Thanks again, Rhea
I am a very new visitor to your site. So far the thing I like best is that several answers are often available to a single question. Not that the answers are necessarily fundamentally different from each other, but that different styles of giving the same answer are offered. Even though I've only looked at the answers to a few questions, I already feel additionally illuminated by contrasting ways of thinking about something, even by an elegant way of giving an answer that had already been given clumsily.

Food and culture Say g'day to the downunder spirit
Where kia ora means hello
Known as Kiwis, the locals have a genuine, friendly and down-to-earth nature, with a relaxed way of life and a mix of cultures.
As well as English, native Maori is also recognised, and their influence is everywhere – town and street names, customs, carvings and patterns in everyday life. Seeing the mighty ‘haka’ or Maori war dance is simply unreal, and if you’re lucky, you might catch an impromptu singalong too.
You’ll often see Kiwis out and about – they love their outdoor activities, as well as the cafe life. They’re passionate about their sport too, especially when it comes to rugby.

Have A Question?
Call me Email me Live Chat
Currently unavailable.
Sample the tastes
New Zealand has a great cafe scene, and there are tons of places, especially in Wellington, to chat over a coffee or have brunch.
On most tours, we give you the chance to try a local Maori favourite, a ‘hangi’, with food like ‘kumara’ (sweet potato), pork and chicken cooked in a covered pit. Lamb and steaks are legendary, and so is the fresh fruit and seafood – even the fish and chips and meat pies are good! You won’t be far from gourmet Asian cuisine either.
Keep your eye out for pavlova, a meringue-style treat topped with cream and fruit. And remember to ask for 'kiwifruit' or the locals will think you're wanting the native kiwi bird.
Chill with a drink
Sit and have a glass of New Zealand’s world class wine in a waterfront bar, or try a locally brewed beer. Or relax with an original flat white coffee or can of famous L&P soft drink.
Meet the wildlife.
New Zealand isn’t famous for creepy crawlies, but the wildlife it does have is pretty unique. If you’re lucky, you might just see an endangered Kiwi (a nocturnal flightless bird), tuatara (its relatives lived at the time of the dinosaurs), kea and tui birds, and the weta, an unusual looking creature with spiky legs and a hard-shell.
The sea has some fantastic sights too, with whales to spot off the Kaikoura coast in the South Island, dolphins, seals, sea lions and penguins.
Great shopping
Many of the local finds unique to New Zealand come from the land and sea. Take home a pair of sheepskin boots, an All Blacks rugby shirt, honey moisturiser or thermal mud packs or treat someone to a beautiful greenstone carving (it’s considered bad luck to buy your own!).

When a team of Arsenal's calibre comes to the Stadium of Light, in previous seasons there has generally been a mutual feeling of inevitable defeat and lack of ambition.
However, yesterday saw a renewed sense of hope among the fans, who largely believed an improving Sunderland side could cause problems for Wenger's stars.
This was a hope that continued into a spirited first half performance from the lads. Granted, we may not have created many chances, yet on the whole we dominated possessions, closed down the Arsenal midfield and stifled their creativity.
As the half time whistle blew, I for one, could not believe the 1-0 scoreline. Arsenal had one moment where their pressure resulted in a Fabregas fluke goal that looped over the helpless Mignolet.
Plaudits have to go to Bruce for the team mentality that he has installed at the club, as a few seasons ago the team would have been deflated following the Arsenal opener, heads would have been down and an equaliser would have been near impossible.
A diligent second half display looked to have been for no avail before that man, Darren Bent, cropped up yet again with a last gasp equaliser that made one good point feel like an amazing three.
Following the late winner against Manchester City in the last home fixture, Sunderland fans are being treat to exciting times, but I cannot help but wonder why we can never do things the easy way?
In terms of performances, none was better than that of Egyptian winger, Ahmed Elmohamady. He provided teasing crosses, caused Gael Clichy constant problems and won every single header in the air. Man of the match by a mile, this man has a bright future at Sunderland and hopefully this is just a glimpse of what he has to offer the team.
I cannot fault any of the players at the weekend as everyone showed moments of first class football, including Steed Malbranque who upstaged many of Arsenal's superstars, Jordan Henderson who dictated some of the midfield play and Kieran Richardson, who is arguably the most improved Sunderland player at left back.
Arsene Wenger may have reason to be frustrated with the late, late goal, yet Sunderland were on the attack beyond the allocated four minutes and it is the referee's decision to play simply the minimum of four minutes.
If the referee had blown for full time, he would have had over 35,000 Sunderland fans to contend with, who were all willing the ball into the back of Manuel Almunia's net and thankfully Bent obliged with virtually the last kick of what was truly a magnificent game of football.

Take the 2-minute tour ×
I have an application where I have the 'core' code in one folder for which there is a virtual directory in the root, such that I can include any core files using /myApp/core/bla.asp. I then have two folders outside of this with a default.asp which currently use the querystring to define what page should be displayed. One page is for general users, the other will only be accessible to users who have permission to manage users / usergroups / permissions. The core code checks the querystring and then checks the permissions for that user. An example of this as it is now is default.asp?action=view&viewtype=list&objectid=server. I am not worried about SEO as this is an internal app and uses Windows Auth.
My question is, is it better the way it is now or would it be better to have something like the following:
• /server/view/list/
• /server/view/?id=123
• /server/create/
• /server/edit/?id=123
• /server/remove/?id=123
In the above folders I would have a home page which defines all the variables which are currently determined by the querystring - in /server/create/ for example, I would define the action as 'create', object name as 'server' and so on.
In terms of future development, I really have no idea which method would be best. I think the 2nd method would be best in terms of following what page does what but this is such a huge change to make at this stage that I would really like some opinions, preferably based on experience.
PS Sorry if the tags are wrong - I am new to this forum and thought this was a bit too much of a discussion for StackOverflow as that is very much right / wrong answer based. I got the idea SE is more discussion based.

so you are looking for something like mode_rewrite for jsp? What kind of server are you using? here is a sample answer for tomcat on stack overflow. stackoverflow.com/questions/1563799/… – Daniel Iankov Sep 9 '12 at 12:59
No, what I am trying to determine is whether the design is better with just one page for everything, which makes heavy use of the querystring, or using lots of folders which contain files which define the variables themselves. For example /server/create/default.asp would contain the line 'action = CREATE' (where CREATE is a constant defined in /myApp/core/constants.asp). Basically is it better to use ?object=server&action=create or to use /server/create/? – ClarkeyBoy Sep 9 '12 at 13:03
I am just trying it out now actually, just for a couple of objects, to see how much easier it is to add a new object type (category for the knowledge base, for example). – ClarkeyBoy Sep 9 '12 at 13:04
Got it sorted for server, so the user just has to go to /myApp/server/ for the list, and then the edit buttons link to /myApp/server/edit/ and so on. Easy to change and I think it should be easier to manage in this way as I don't have to worry about the user being able to change the querystring (meaning it is more secure). – ClarkeyBoy Sep 9 '12 at 13:11

The best way is to split it up. This will make it much easier to maintain because there are only small chunks that you need to deal with at any one time.
What you need to do is to first create a framework which will be used universally across all the pages/functions. This will have common bits in it like access control, menus, validation scripts, styles, etc
Then are there any objects that could be shared across pages? Things like business objects, data access layers, report generation, drop downs, etc. Put these into separate classes/files/etc. If you need to code it more than once, it should be in a library type file and included where required.
Now build pages for each discrete action, and group them by functionality or by permissions into separate folders.
Remember that a query string is an easy way for a user to enter in false data - does the application require a level of robustness? Best way is to use a session type object for passing information between pages for a security and integrity point of view.

Thanks for the input adam, much appreciated. I basically have it in this kinda layout: /ab/abCore/--all the core code files in here, then /ab/[business-object-name]/ for the list, /ab/[b-o-n]/edit/?id= for the edit page and then same for create / delete. Each business object has its own 'setup' file which sets all the variables which apply to all actions, then the individual homepages override them if they have to. All stylesheets are in one folder, scripts in another and images in another. It really is looking very neat now, and so easy to tell what should display what. – ClarkeyBoy Sep 10 '12 at 19:18
In some cases I have nested business objects - for example /customer/contact/, /customer/address/, /customer/contact/address/ and so on. – ClarkeyBoy Sep 10 '12 at 19:19

Sorry guys if I am posting it in the wrong forum.
I am trying to convert a text value (String) to an image (.jpg). My program seems to be working somewhat. It's creating a blank (whiite background) .jpg file, without my string value "Saidul Islam". I can open the file in any image editor. it just doesn't have the string I am trying to print.
And the strange part is that the program is not even terminating.
Here is the output I get when I run it
C:\test>java Text2Image
gets here
remove notify
it's of course printing the last line but the program is not terminating. I have been working on this since yesterday. and my brain is not functioning anymore on this. So I ask for your help.
what am I doing wrong and how do I get this working.
Here is my program-
import java.awt.*;
import java.awt.image.*;
import com.sun.image.codec.jpeg.*;
public class Text2Image {
public static void main(String args[]) {
Frame myFrame = null;
Graphics2D myGraphics = null;
try {
myFrame = new Frame();
BufferedImage buffImage = new BufferedImage(400, 200, BufferedImage.TYPE_INT_RGB);
BufferedImage buff2Image = new BufferedImage(400, 200, BufferedImage.TYPE_INT_RGB);
BufferedOutputStream bos = new BufferedOutputStream(new FileOutputStream("text.jpg"));
Image offImage = myFrame.createImage(400, 200);
//myGraphics = buffImage.getGraphics();
myGraphics = buffImage.createGraphics();
myGraphics.setFont(new Font("Serif", Font.ITALIC, 48));
myGraphics.drawString("Saidul Islam", 10, 50);
myGraphics.drawImage(offImage, 0, 0, myFrame);
buffImage.createGraphics().drawImage(buffImage, 0, 0, myFrame);
JPEGImageEncoder encoder = JPEGCodec.createJPEGEncoder(bos);
//JpegEncoder jpg = new JpegEncoder(offImage, 80, bos);
System.out.println("gets here");
catch (Exception e) {
finally {
if (myGraphics != null) {
if (myFrame != null) {
System.out.println("remove notify");
} //end of main method
} //end of Text2Image class
Thanks for your help!

First, let me say... Really awesome program!
I think I have fixed the problems you were having...
this line was causing the image you had created so far to be overwritten with a blank image of the same size...
I assume that you were trying to assign the image to the frame after you had created it... I couldn't find a direct way to paint a Graphics object or a BufferedImage object, so I simply saved the image first and then displayed it... The code I added isn't the best... there is no double buffering being done to keep the image from being erased in screen redraws, but this could be easily fixed by making a special class to display the image... I just used a regular canvas...
As far as the reason behind why your program would not exit... I think it is because you must specifically call System.exit if you are using any GUI elements... I think Java launches some kind of GUI manager that creates another thread that keeps all the GUI elements alive... so you have to specifically call System.exit...
On to the code...

Thanks Nate. It worked fine. And yes it looks like I have to use System.exit(0) to break out of the program.

Junction box ensures transducers meet EMC rules.
HBM has introduced the VK20A junction box for 14 - 30 V DC supply voltages to increase the reliability of measurements by ensuring EMC-compliant connection of T20WN and T22 torque transducers to HBM amplifier systems.
The VK20A replaces the VK20 junction box because both the recently-launched T22 and the T20WN torque transducers utilize current inputs.
The T22 torque transducer is intended as a low-cost solution for applications that have less demanding accuracy requirements. Main applications include static and dynamic torque measurement on stationary or rotating parts in laboratory, test and measurement, as well as in production and process control and education.
With its compact and robust design, the transducer has a 0.5 accuracy as defined by HBM and comes in different nominal (rated) torque steps ranging from 5 N·m to 1000 N·m. The maximum permissible rotational speed ranges from 9,000 up to 16,000 rpm, depending on the measuring range.
The T20WN torque transducer, which has rated torques of 0.1 - 200 Nm, delivers an analog output signal 0 - 10 V of the torque with high bandwidth - and is therefore ideal for use in production as this output signal can be processed by all current analysis electronics.
T20WN also operates without wear and is therefore maintenance-free: The supply voltage is transferred without contact to the rotor of the transducer. The return transfer of the torque value to the stator is as an analog voltage signal.
The simple installation into the production line is another plus point for the use of T20WN for checking rotary switches. The integration of the transducer into the test configuration occurs via simple bellows couplings, which are also available from HBM as accessories.
The integrated speed measuring system in T20WN delivers 360 pulses per revolution on two tracks offset by 90°. After the edge detection, this means that 1440 pulses are available.

Are ghetto girls a turn on?
Are ghetto girls a turn on?
If you were to call me ghetto. I'd say thanks for the compliment!
You can take the girl out of the ghetto but you can't take the ghetto out of the girl. If you were to call me ghetto. I'd say thanks for the compliment!
What does being "ghetto" have to do with dating or finding the love of your life.
More from YourTango: Have You Let Yourself Go?
Because there's no better time than now to work on yourself as much as possible as a single woman. Grow yourself so you can grow as a person both personally and professionally.
You will be more attractive and meeting a high caliber guy will be a lot easier. How you do anything is how you do everything. So I thought I'd talk about 2 habits that I think women should work to break.
Habit #1 Proscrastination
Habit #2 Perfectionism
Procrastination and perfectionism often go hand in hand. Do you put things off because they’re never good enough? If you spend all your time trying to make things perfect, it’s no surprise they NEVER get done. It’s said that successful people fail more than unsuccessful people. Why do I think it’s important? You can learn from your mistakes. You can correct your mistakes. When you’re starting something you might have to get through those ackward stages and it might seem “Ghetto” but if you stay the course and work to refine it, correct it & polish it, it can end up being darn “Fabulous”.
Growing up in the gritty Iberville projects in New Orleans gave me the proper credentials to be called "Ghetto Fabulous” but I thought it would now be an appropriate time to update the definition of “Ghetto Fabulous”.
I think a woman who is “Ghetto Fabulous” strives for excellence versus perfection. She is willing to take risks and is not afraid of messing up or making mistakes during the process. She doesn't have a severe case of "Worrying About What Other People Think Syndrome". Get it? You are living your life fully flawed & all.
You see when you’re “Ghetto Fabulous” you are living your life full out today. You're not waiting for tomorrow. You especially don't put off til tomorrow what you know you should do today. You're going for it! You are making things happen, getting stuff done now, no matter where you live or where you're at in your life.
You're not hiding out and missing out on life because you're "Not Perfect".
Write this on a note card & carry it in your purse. Excellence is better than perfection…
More from YourTango: What Not To Wear
A short time ago I would say I'm a "Perfectionist" as if it were a badge of honor. It's amazing what happened when I let that go in my life. I know I can’t be perfect but I can be excellent. Excellence is not the same as perfection. Perfection is not attainable, and chasing it is like trying to squeeze your booty in jeans that don't fit. However you can be excellent exactly where you are right now. That’s right you can go the extra mile & strive for excellence now. You will feel more confident.
What does that mean?

Links 08/10/2009: Freedomware Introduced, Firefox 3.6 Soon in Beta
Posted in News Roundup at 2:29 pm by Dr. Roy Schestowitz
GNOME bluefish
• USB stick converts PC to thin client
Available immediately, the Universal Desktop Converter is simply a USB stick that carries a version of Igel’s Linux-based firmware from its own thin client systems, plus one or more licences.
• Software conference aims to be open to the public
Savage, a systems administrator at backcountry.com in West Valley City, said groups will gather mostly on Friday to discuss programming with software such as Linux or Java.
• This Linux thing is getting out of hand.
People are actually realising that it is a great alternative to Windows and Mac OS. They are installing Linux and sticking with it. The future for Linux looks very bright and promising.
• Audio/Video
• Desktop
• Open source identity: PulseAudio creator Lennart Poettering
• Intel: Moblin opens the way for Atom
I also want to say that Linux is absolutely mainstream across many devices. Set-top boxes, TiVo, all these electronics are loaded with embedded Linux. So it’s just not visible. It’s not merchandized or marketed. But Linux is extremely mainstream across many, many devices today.
• Dell: Ubuntu Desktop PC Is Back
Dell’s U.S. website has finally made good on a promise to re-introduce an Ubuntu desktop PC. The move should silence critics who were worried that Dell wasn’t committed to the growing Ubuntu desktop and mobile markets. Here are the details.
• Desktop Linux doing fine
Even if we look only at the traditional desktop and notebook PC market, I was given renewed optimism for ‘desktop Linux’ last week when Dell rolled out its latest Latitude notebook computers. Sure, the laptops ship with Windows as the primary OS, but they also feature an instant-on Linux option, based on SUSE Linux and Firefox browser software, that is booted and run off a separate system-on-chip with ARM processor.
When users must have Windows for special applications, devices or media that are not supported on Linux, they will only be reminded of the wait, hassle and frustration that a few more seconds can bring. In the meantime, Linux application and driver support continues to broaden out to cover most common tasks and activities.
In short, the quick-boot auxiliary Linux is among the free operating system’s fastest and most direct routes to desktop respectability and market share.
• A Linux In Winter
It was about six weeks ago that, frustrated by the reams of viruses that my kids unwittingly downloaded onto my home computer, I finally downloaded and installed Ubuntu Linux, after years (literally a decade) of thinking about it.
• New Linux User
If you are also wondering about installing Ubuntu, I would advise you to go ahead and give it a try. I am trying to convince P that he should replace Vista on his 1GB laptop with Ubuntu but, while he is interested, he is still a little hestitant to take the plunge. Maybe one day!
• What’s the deal with Ubuntu? Why bother?
You should really check it out some time. Really, you should. Plus you can even keep the OS you have installed now. It’s called dual booting, now get out there and try something new today.
• Supercomputers (HPC)
• ClusterVision Spins Off Cluster Management Software Company
ClusterVision is a Linux cluster integrator that builds commodity HPC systems for the European market (more broadly, the entire EMEA region). The company uses hardware from a variety of manufacturers — white-box manufacturers, but also IBM and Dell — and packages the clusters with its home-grown Linux-based ClusterVisionOS and software stack. As of this week, though, ClusterVisionOS is replaced by Bright Cluster Manager, which makes ClusterVision just another reseller of the software.
• Supercomputers love Linux
Everybody knows Linux as an open-source operating system – available today for many different hardware architectures – which has become the de facto alternative to the Redmond’s product, especially in the servers segment. Linux versus Windows, Windows versus Linux: this diatribe on which of the two is the best solution has been literally filling most of the computer forums and computer magazines. We are not going to add some fire on that already “hot” discussion, but rather analyze some real facts and take the appropriate conclusions.
The operating system family share rank is as follows:
Operating system Family Count Share %
Linux 443 88.60 %
Windows 5 1.00 %
Unix 22 4.40 %
BSD based 1 0.20 %
Mixed 29 5.80 %
Totals 500 100.00 %
• Server
• Cloud computing with Linux and Apache Hadoop
This article briefly introduces cloud computing platforms like Amazon EC2, on which you can rent virtual Linux® servers, and then introduces an open source MapReduce framework named Apache Hadoop, which will be built onto the virtual Linux servers to establish the cloud computing framework. However, Hadoop is not restricted to be deployed on VMs hosted by any vendor; you can also deploy it on normal Linux OS on physical machines.
• The Open Source Infrastructure for Cloud Computing
The goal of Eucalyptus is to allow sites with existing clusters and server infrastructure to host an elastic computing service that is interface-compatible with Amazon’s AWS, but can also support multiple interfaces such as Google’s AppEngine and the Sun Cloud open API. Rich Wolski, Chief Technology Officer and Co-founder of Eucalyptus Systems, will discuss this and more in a breakout session to be given at SYS-CON’s 1st Annual Government IT Conference & Expo (GovITExpo).

• Linux users: frag your online enemies without installing an application!
This afternoon after I got home from work, I fragged my online enemies! What makes this remarkable is that I use Ubuntu Linux, and as everyone know gaming doesn’t work on Linux (tongue-in-cheek comment there). What is even more amazing is that I didn’t install an application to do this.

• Gentoo: Ten Years Emerge
• More explanations: why nano is Gentoo’s “default editor”
Newbie problem: finally, there is another note: both Emacs and VI (and respective clones) aren’t exactly the most user-friendly editors. A newbie user who has no clue how to work in Gentoo is unlikely to guess at first sight how to use either of them, while nano is pretty much the easiest thing you might find around. You can fight as much as you want about powerfulness (Emacs and VI are obviously much more powerful than nano) and you can fight about relative easiness of use (:w versus C-x C-w) but nano is going to win over both of them in that regard.
• Red Hat Family
• Microsoft and Red Hat consummate virtualization vows
The interoperability pact was inked in February of this year, leading the companies to “synchronize testing” in counterpart validation programs over the months. Starting today, businesses can mix and mingle Windows Server and Red Hat Enterprise Linux on visualized environments with joint support from Microsoft and Red Hat.

• Ubuntu Cola vs. Windows Cola
I just found out that there’s a brand of soft drink with the same name as the popular Linux distribution. For those of you who don’t know this yet, let me introduce you to Ubuntu Cola. Also named after the African philosophy, it is made in the United Kingdom and with a key ingredient that is Fair Trade Certified.
• Sex, Live, and Virtualization
Exhibit: Linux Mint. This is Ubuntu (and Kubuntu) done right. Mint is based on Ubuntu 9.04, the old Jaunty Jackalope. It uses the Ubuntu repositories so in essence, it is Ubuntu, with a little extra (contained in Mint’s own repos). The reason Mint is so cool is that includes all those pesky codecs and plugins right out of the box, er, uhm, live DVD. No need to download and install a Java plugin. It’s there. Flash? It’s there too. That video? It works.
• Ubuntu 9.10 Preview: New Theme, Icons
A total overhaul of the Ubuntu look will have to wait for future releases. But for the time being, the touch-ups to Karmic should help placate users who worry that Ubuntu’s default look is ugly and outdated.
• Karmic GDM Gets New Glowy Icons
Karmic’s GDM received some small updates today that brought with them a new HumanLoginIcon set full of beautiful glowing icons – much more akin to the mock-up than the previous humanity icons used in it’s place.
• Karmic Koala beta ships, praised for fast boots
The Ubuntu project has released the first beta of Ubuntu Linux 9.10 (Karmic Koala), which has already been favorably previewed, especially for its fast boot time. Based on Linux 2.6.31, Karmic Koala offers GNOME 2.28 and Ext4 as defaults, and adds “cloud” features and improved installation.
• Significant improvements in Ubuntu 9.10
I recently installed the beta version of the upcoming version of Ubuntu codenamed Karmic Kuala. The changes since 9.04 are somewhat subtle yet significant. Already in the beta you can feel the polish that went into it. Below, in no particular order, I shall rant about a few improvements that puts a smile on my face.
• A closer look at Kubuntu Karmic Koala and KDE 4.3.1
Ubuntu Karmic Koala is still in Beta status, but looks very promising. To some extend it beats the Release Candidate of Microsoft Windows 7, especially in Wireless networking support.
The big win of Karmic Koala are its even further improved speed, less resources hungriness and improved hardware support.
I tested Microsoft Windows 7 RC1 (build 7100), Kubuntu GNU/Linux Karmic Koala Alpha 5 and Ubuntu GNU/Linux Karmic Koala Beta 1 last week and I’m afraid Windows 7 will (b)eat the dust.
• Personalities behind the Fest – Jono Bacon
AG: What goals did you have for this event? Did CLS meet, exceed or fall short of those goals?
JB: The goal was simple: bring those passionate about community together in an environment that is vendor neutral. I wanted to attract community managers, leaders and enthusiasts from all walks of life, inside and outside of technology. We really seemed to get this and there was an incredible diversity of attendance, and a lot of people: around 250. The entire event far exceeded my expectations.
• Staying With Ubuntu
The point is that Ubuntu works and there is little motivation to change to something else. Some will say that this makes me a “fanboy”. Not really. I have simply not found anything that justifies a change. If something better comes along, I’ll change in a heartbeat. Meanwhile, I’m staying with Ubuntu.
• Ubuntu Netbook Remix – Short review
If you have a netbook and do not care for a sub-optimal Windows installation and do not wish to wait for Moblin to come out of Beta, Ubuntu Netbook Remix seems like a good idea. I believe you will like the result. The combination of free price, lots of good programs, stability, usability, and decent looks are really hard to beat.

With costs for academic mathematics software approaching $1,000 for a single license, it doesn’t take a numbers whiz to realize that a free, open source option is probably a better alternative.

• James Hall on Free and Open Source Software
Free software is a matter of of the users’ freedom to run, copy, distribute, study, change, improve the software. Like open source software, a free software license requires that the source code be made available – otherwise the user would not be able to study, change, improve the program. In this usage, the term “free” refers to freedom, not price. This is also the origin of the meme “Free as in speech, not as in beer.”

Newspapers are either a dying breed or a changing breed, depending on who you talk to. The New York Times wants to adapt, not go extinct, and one of the little ways they’re adapting involves a software tool they’re releasing as an open-source application for their fellow news organizations — or anyone else, really.
That’s all going to depend entirely on what kind of licensing the Times uses to release this thing. If they use a license model which allows people to keep changes to themselves (e.g., GPLv2), then guess what — people aren’t going to hesitate to do so, and they’re going to have no one to blame but themselves.

The report is based on an online survey conducted during the summer of 2009 and followed up by interviews with 160 IT project directors, heads of procurement and other IT decision makers, half of which are employed in the private sector and the other half representing the public sector. Another fifty interviews were held with IT vendors.

WIth all the company’s riches, why is a Goldman Sachs (GS) subsidiary getting a $3 million earmark from Washington?
Politico: A mining company owned by Goldman Sachs and two private equity funds is in line to get a $3 million earmark for work at a rare earth elements mine in Mountain Pass, Calif. — raising questions as to why Congress would take on some of the risk for a bailed-out investment giant that’s already making a profit.
As the article notes, Molycorp’s mine is a rich source of elements used to produce powerful magnets for precision-guided weapons, hand-held communication devices, wind turbines and hybrid cars.

Boing Boing put up a post about it, along with the tag line “Dude, her head’s bigger than her pelvis.” While some have questioned whether the ad is even real, one thing is clear: Ralph Lauren was not pleased. The company’s lawyers at Greenberg Traurig sent DMCA takedown notices concerning both posts. Despite Blogger’s new DMCA policy, Google still quickly took down the post at Photoshop Disasters, causing the site to ask whether or not Ralph Lauren or its lawyers have ever heard of the Streisand Effect (yay). BoingBoing’s host, however, doesn’t automatically take content down and passed along the info to BoingBoing, who quickly pointed out that this was clearly fair use (commentary, criticism, etc.) and the DMCA takedown wasn’t being used to stop infringing content, but to stifle speech.

• Dutch Collection Society Looks To Charge Bloggers For Embedding YouTube Videos
Over the past year, we’ve noticed an explosion in ridiculous attempts by music collection societies (often totally clueless about technology) to extend their ability to collect for positively ridiculous things (while also looking to significantly increase their collection rates). The latest, sent in by Dennis Laumen, is that the Dutch collection society, Buma/Stemra, is claiming that it’s going to start charging bloggers 130 euros for every 6 videos they embed. This is, of course, technologically clueless. The embedding of a video doesn’t change the fact that it’s actually playing from and hosted at the original site (such as YouTube). All embedding does is allow the video to appear via the other page, even though, technically, it’s all still happening at its original location. Claiming that this is somehow a “new” publication of the content is technologically incorrect.

Curley suggested that because the AP licenses stories to major hubs like Google, Yahoo and Microsoft’s MSN, these outlets would be willing to pay for scoops.

From Steve:
I was sitting at my computer in our new Lightworker Family Room talking to people from the US, Ireland, the UK, Holland and Turkey. It’s great to be able to communicate with family all over the globe like this. I had just mentioned to people in the room that I was going to have to leave the Family Room to finish writing the Beacons when someone asked what the Beacons was about this month. I proceeded to tell her. I became aware of the faint laughter over my shoulder. By the time I came back 90 minutes later I had to tell her that the whole thing had changed. So many times I think I know where they are going only to find that they have different ideas. Such was the case with this message.
In the private sessions that I do with the Group we talk to a lot of people who have experienced the Phantom Death. Basically this is the original time that we scripted to leave. Now that we have the opportunity to stay, many of us choose to stay instead of dying. In all instances when I talk to someone who has experienced the Phantom Death, it’s easy to see that their entire lives took a drastic turn at that very moment. Now the Group says that that same phenomenon is happening with our relationship to light. They say that from a cosmic perspective a big sign is hanging on the Earth that says
“CAUTION - Phantom Death in Progress.”

Thanks for helping to spread the Light!
Greetings from Home
We are so pleased to be with you at this time to watch as the magicians of the Gameboard awaken from the dream. We see you from a perspective that we love to share with you, for that is the view from Home itself. Our greatest hope is to guide you in the new ways. You are not the same people who you were only a very short time ago. You are now stepping fully into the second wave of empowerment and that is changing everything that has gone before. The first wave of power was “follow the leader” and the second is now “follow yourselves.” Yes, this sounds simple, yet it is not. For you to function in the second wave of power it is necessary for you to totally re-evaluate every paradigm that you have created thus far.
Dawn of the New Light
You now emanate a new light. We have called you Lightworkers for you spread the base energy of love through the light that you share. Even as your advancements lead you to a new understanding of your purpose here on Earth, your advancements in the area of science will also begin validating even more of the higher truths that you have only been able to prove in your hearts thus far. The energy that we have called light will soon take on new meaning as your sciences are now right at the edge of great discoveries about light. This will start a shift in the scientific community that will have far-reaching effects on the way humans perceive themselves.
For those of you with scientific curiosity we will give you some hints here, and the rest of you can skip this paragraph. That which you have seen as light is only a small portion of the energy band which carries the full energy from Home through the central sun to you. The spectrums of light for which you have no perception exist over a band of other dimensional realities which you cannot see yet. The way to access these dimensional realities is through a series of 90-degree turns. Even the ancient Egyptians knew that to enter the afterlife, as they called it, a 90-degree turn was necessary. We have planted seeds of this ancient wisdom within earlier messages and now those seeds are taking root. What your science is on a path to discover is the relationship of light to magnetics. That relationship is exactly 90 degrees.
Recently we showed the Keeper a new color band that he had not seen before. We tell you that he was very excited when we showed it to him until he realized that the words necessary to share this experience with others did not yet exist. Yes, there are many other spectrums of color beyond what you call the four primary colors. The point to remember here is that the other bands of color do not exist outside of those four vibrational bands but, rather, within them.
It will not be long before you begin to understand how simple light really is. And even though you may not see the other bands of light with your eyes just yet, you will be able to see the evidence and the reaction of this light. You may not know it, but we tell you that you can see this even this very day. That is the important message that we share with you now.
Welcome to the 5th Dimension
You have stepped fully into the 5th dimension and are just now acclimating yourselves to this energy. Even as we say these words many of you find yourselves getting excited, looking forward to the possibilities of new power and new abilities. Yes, that is true, yet with this same advancement comes a new, sobering responsibility to use those abilities to their fullest. This is the importance of utilizing the second wave of power.
Phantom Death of Light
Many of you have experienced the Phantom Death where you had a specific opportunity to leave and return Home. These exit points in your linear time line were placed there in the first stage of life during your planning session. Those of you who have experienced at least one Phantom Death know that after that demarcation point your life took on a new focus and turned the equivalent of 90 degrees. Ahh, yes, now many of you are recognizing that you had a Phantom Death after all. We tell you today that it is the light itself on planet Earth that is experiencing the Phantom Death. When you look back at this time in your history you will see a new relationship to light from this day forward. This is truly the Phantom Death of Planet Earth and a new starting point.
The Crystal Energy
The Crystal energy has been filtering in from your Solar Sun and it is being stored in the tectonic plates of the Earth. The recent infusion of energy has caused much stress to those of you sensitive to it. In fact most of you who call yourselves Lightworkers are in fact sensitive to this energy as it enters your world. Many of you have felt lost and disconnected. You may have found your emotions erupting at the most inappropriate times. The sensitivity you have to this energy is the same gift that makes you a Master Healer, so fear it not. Yet, understand that you will acclimate to the energy as it enters your world. Continue to watch the solar flares for signs of this energy and this new light entering your world. It is here to provide you with the magnetic base in which empowered humans will thrive. The energy infusion was needed, for you are about to turn an important corner. The 90-degree turn will now begin this next month. August 2003 will be seen throughout the cosmos as the Phantom Death of the old light. Even as little as two months ago the times directly ahead were uncertain. It was not known whether the strong infusion of the Crystal Energy would serve the highest good, or tip the delicate balance as it has in the past. Know that you have done well and the stress you have dealt with has served a much higher purpose in acclimating this energy.
Ahh, but you are not the only ones feeling this energy. Those advanced children of Indigo color are feeling this energy most of all. They will feel disoriented, confused, anxious, and in discord as this new light enters your world. It may seem to them that their magic has disappeared and this may cause them even more stress as a result. Be patient with them during this time, dear ones. They are here doing a very difficult job and deserve your love, guidance and respect.
The Secret of the New Light
There are two ways to work with light in your Game. One is to reflect the light and the other is to be the light. You have so often thought that it was best to reflect the light, for it was very difficult for you in the first wave of power to see your true magnificence. Without seeing your true self it is not possible to be the light, only to reflect it. Although there is no difference in the outcome, and one way is not better than the other, by not having both options you are limiting the amount of Lightwork you can accomplish.
We tell you now that there is a direct correlation between the acceptance of your true power in the second wave and the ability to emanate the new light. Take responsibility for your own happiness and your own reality and have the courage to choose again if your circumstances do not support your spirit.
Now for the secret, for humans love secrets… The light is not outside of you, it is you. You are the light. Even the light entering as the Crystal energy is actually a reflection of your own. That is the reason you feel it so strongly as it enters your reality. This new light in the form of the Crystal Energy is interacting with and changing the magnetics of Earth as it enters. This is why science may now see the connection between light and magnetics. At first you did not feel it until it was released from the tectonic plates into your dimension. Now you have acclimated the energy to such a degree that you feel it even as it enters from the Sun. That is the reason your times have been filled with amplified stress. The challenge is that you are not accustomed to being the light and allowing this energy to flow through you, igniting your higher light within. We ask you to find ways to let your light shine, for that holds the key to feeling comfortable as the changes to the Earth magnetics proceeds. Dare to stand in the most difficult situations and allow your own light to emanate from you. For that work we offer you a valuable tool.
Spiritual Confidence
Yes, we have watched you and know that it is most difficult to be God in human form. Your egos that have served so well to ensure your survival have also kept you from taking your full power. Now, even as you are advancing past the need for an ego, it still haunts you, overshadowing your every move. Yet, when you understand that your true selves are spirit and not human, the ego holds you no longer. Therefore, we ask to you to find the spiritual confidence that is within all of you at every moment. Access that spirit within for even a moment and feel the confidence that lies dormant deep within your soul and you have a tool that can be utilized in the most stressful times. Stop, breathe, and feel the spirit within. Then simply feel the smile of spiritual confidence easing its way to your face. It is a subtle smile that can be carried with you throughout your day. Re-membering that it is there is the most difficult part. That is all that is needed to face every moment of every day with the confidence that is your soul birthright. That subtle smile gives birth to the full spectrum of light that is yours alone. That subtle smile is the most effective way for you to be the light in the days of change that lie ahead.
Take that knowledge and intentionally share your special spectrum of light with every person willing to look your way. Stand fully in the truth and beauty of your light and own its power fully. Touch others with your light openly and freely when it is accepted. Then you will find it becoming stronger with each application. This is the full power of Home expressed through the most beautiful beings that have ever taken finite form. You are Lightworkers . . . but even more. . .you are the light. . .and we love your light more than you could ever know. We know your times are challenging, we know there are times when you cannot clearly see where you are going or what is happening. Please do not live your lives in anticipation of some magical day when everything will be right in the world. Please know that you have the ability to create that world in your own field this very day. Start by accessing the spiritual confidence that lies within you and you will see the new light upon Earth.
We so enjoy the time together with you in this fashion, for you invite us to play in your game in this special way. Ahh, but it is more than that, for you invite us into your very hearts and we honor that invitation more than you will ever know. That opening of your heart gives us the unique opportunity to plant the seeds of light that will help you re-member who you really are. Like proud parents watching with the greatest love as their child stirs from sleep and opens their eyes to make soul contact with the parents, we too are deeply honored to be here watching as you are now stirring, awakening from the dream. Know that you are never alone. We ask you to re-member that this is a wonderful game you are playing and to treat each other with respect, nurture one another, and play well together.

It is with great honor that I bring these messages of Love. My only hope is that you feel even a tiny portion of the love I feel when I write them.

Connecting the Heart
Awakening to New Light
From Barbara
Steve and the Group talk about the Phantom Death of the old light. They say this will be felt beginning in August. I know the energy of this shift will be high and we can anticipate it with excitement and maybe with a little hesitation because as with any change, it may be a little uncomfortable. Stepping out without our safety net and daring to fly high in our own energy can be scary, but yet quite exciting.
I feel like I experienced leaving my old light almost four years ago. However, I am sure I am ready for another shift soon. This was when I chose to trust Spirit and leave my career that was my safety net of twelve years. I dared to trust myself that I was to join Steve in our Lightwork on a full-time basis. This was a huge leap of faith. I have never regretted that choice.
Last night I joined co-workers from my past job for a reunion and celebration of one of their birthdays. Once in a while in the past few years I had been in touch with some of these people, but last night was an awakening moment of looking at my past—who I was then—and seeing my present—who I am today. It was like stepping in and out of two different dimensions. How happy I am that I could return to be in my reality of my present life where I have created my new light!
The people I reconnected with are special, warm-hearted souls, especially one dear friend who will always be in my life as a friend and sister, Jean. They all helped me on my path of self-awareness, mostly in positive ways but at times in negative ways. Duality very much played a part in that experience. For twelve years this was my reality of daily existence that my world revolved around. For the most part, this was a rewarding job. How often we get caught up thinking our jobs are who we are! I see people who have lost the sparkle in their eyes. They appear to be existing in life instead of creating. I so encourage people to dance in their passion and play in their joy, as Steve and the Group says, every day of their lives.
As I sat enjoying the conversation, in which we were catching up with each others’ lives, I felt myself falling back into who I thought I was for so many years. Then I took a deep breath and began celebrating who I am today. It was almost as if my spirit was lifting me above my body to look down on my past and present. With the exception of a few of these people, nobody understands exactly who I have become in my new life. They commented that I have a glow about me and about how happy I looked, but it was clear that my new reality was not theirs. And I know that is okay.
I drove home filled with thoughts spinning in my head. I felt like I had just revisited my past. I know in order to create a new life, you have to come to terms with the one you have left behind. This is the Phantom Death of light that I can see that I just experienced. I was feeling mixed emotions about who I was all those years. The job served its purpose, but I have to say it had its moments when I allowed others to take my power and to feel less than who I know I am. One of the happiest moments was when I was leaving the old job and I told my boss how I really felt. I told her that I felt so connected to who I really was when I was doing my Lightwork with Steve, and felt so disempowered when I came into the office. This was the beginning of my communication that I have developed with myself and others. I must speak my truth. This is my empowerment. Even though it may have been something she did not want to hear, I think my boss understood. She wished me well, as did all my co-workers. I am now able to step back and feel any negative emotions from the past and know they were crystals on my path of awareness. I am thankful for all the wonderful, joyful memories I experienced during this time of my life too.
It is exciting to want to reinvent yourself by creating your new life, your new light, but it is important to never forget your past. Each day we have experienced is a stepping stone to who we are today. We can do a partial or total makeover with who we are, but remember to connect with your center being—that is the Spiritual Confidence that the Group just spoke of. This is your core personality no matter how many levels of growth you go through. Access it and you will find your power.
Every day I discover different, new areas of who I am and who I am becoming. I thank my past, I embrace my present and I can’t wait to see how brightly my new-found light will shine in the future!
With Love and Light,

Bistro Chairs.
After seeing the cover of the May issue of House Beautiful, I can’t seem to get enough of French bistro chairs. This image, combined with the fact that David and I are thinking about spending a day or two in Paris while we are in Europe, makes me think of drinking coffee and eating macaroons in a French cafe (wearing stripes and a beret). Of course the bistro chairs used in their original state, along the streets of Paris, are quite fabulous but I also love seeing them indoors in these kitchens.
On a side note, this kitchen might be the prettiest kitchen I ever did see:
2 BP blog bistro bar chair against black island and pendant lights
House Beautiful turquoise chairs and banquette may cover Elle decor black and tan bar stools in white kitchen
White kitchen with eat in dining space and bistro chairs
maison gatti bistro chairs farm 6 static flickr
The use of raw rattan, mixed with sharp colors, create such beautiful and interesting patterns on the backs and seats of the chairs. I think the bistro chairs are also mighty cool as bar stools. Most kitchen surfaces are hard (cabinets, counters, appliances, hardware) so I love the idea of using these barstools to bring in an additional layer of texture and color. Tres chic.

Native English Speaking Transcribers - Serious Applicants ONLY!
Job Description
I am looking for a few native English speaking transcribers. If English is not your first language pleas do not apply.
This is a job for serious providers only! I need occasional assistance with overflow transcription work. The quality of the files is not guaranteed and the speakers nationality is also not guaranteed. Please be skilled in transcription and own a foot pedal and good quality headphones.
I am looking for providers with some transcription experience who can deliver work in a short turnaround. There is not enough work to keep you busy full-time as I do most of the files myself but I do have the need for occasional assistance sometimes a few times a week.
This must be treated just like any other job that you would attend daily. Do not claim files if you cannot 1) Proof your own work prior to the submission deadline 2) Meet tight deadlines if you claim the file.
I have hired many providers over the past few years and some have met my standards and others have not. Those that don't work out don't last long! Please only apply if you are serious about treating this as an actual job and are going to adhere to deadlines, quality and my guidelines!
Pay is 15 cents per audio minute, not how long it takes you to transcribe it, and you are paid twice a month on the 16th and the 1st. I do not pay the oDesk fees, those are your responsibility!
More details will be provided to shortlisted applicants. Again, please do not waste your time or mine bidding if you cannot meet the criteria outlined in this description!

Default new partner wants me to quite having contact with former partner
Hi you all
I have a serious problem which accompanies me for almost 10 monts. 2 1/2 Jahren years ago, I met a woman from Canada, during my 6 months sabbatical here in Canada. I'm living in Europe.
Shortly before my sabbatical, my then partner and I decided to split up. We both still have contact every now and then and we respect each other, also because she has a daughter of 17 years and her daughter Sibille means a lot to me. She's not my biological daughter though, I met my former partner when her daugther was 4 years old.
On holidays like Christmas or easter, my expartner and her daugther usually invite me over for lunch and then we chat a little bit alltogether.
Now with my new partner from Canada, I actually want to invite her to my country in Europe. So far, it was always me coming over to Canada.
The problem I'm facing is, that my new partner has a very strong aversion against my expartner and my rare contacts to her in general. To be clear, I don't visit them a lot. That's probably every two months or on holidays like easter and christmas. In rare cases, I do repair their computer, as they don't have a lot of computer knowledge.
Meanwhile, my new partner from Canada hates my ex-partnerin as she expressed, even though she has never seen her and never talked to her. All because she knows that I still have some contact with my former partner. On one hand, I can understand my new partner, as she was never in my country yet and it's probably very difficult to trust from a long distance.
My new partner wants me to completely blank out my former partner. Meaning she wants me to completey stay away from the apartement where my former partner and her daughter live. She doesn't want me to go into their apartement anymore. Even phone calls are very difficult for my new partner to accept. If my former partner wants to ask me something regarding her daughter, that wouldn't be possible anymore. I guess it has to do that my new partner can't understand what we are talking about on the phone, if, if my former partner calls me. If I want to call my stepdaughter Sibille, my new partner suggested that I call her on her mobile phone instead of their home line. She is afraid that I would get her mother on the line and talk a little bit with her.
My point is, a daughter has always a mother. And as long Sibille lives with her mother, I can't completely blank out and abandon her mother. That's simply not possible and I don't even want to completely avoid my former partner.
My new partner tells me that it's not about the daugther, that it's about her mother.
I know it wouldn't work trying to maintain contact with her daughter and avoid her mother completely. That's an illusion.
For my expartners daugther Sibille, it's important, even tough she's already 17 years old, to have a contact to another adult like me. She told me that once. As she has lost contact with her biological father. And she really suffered from that, not having contact with her biological father anymore. Therefore, it's even more important for me to take responsability and give Sibille the security she needs, and that involves as well dealing with her mother and my former expartner.
I just want to know, If I'm really dead wrong with my views towards how I maintain contact with my former partner and the way I see it. I know, everybody sees it a little bit different.
Thank you

sounds like your current partner has security and jealousy issues that need to be may be able to work through them but if not you have to ask yourself which is more important your past relationship and her daughter or your current relationship.try talking with your current partner and explain your feelings about your expartners daughter see if she can understand your need to be a pillar for the 17 yr old and your parental instinct to help guide another young persons life.If not you may have to make a choice on what relationship is more important to you.It not fair but it is life we all have to make hard and upsetting choices sometimes.You could even try taking your former partner with you to meet the ex and her daughter and let her see how you react with them is nothing to feel threatened by.

WNC resident Hatchell to join hall of fame
North Carolina women’s basketball coach Sylvia Hatchell
Part-time Western North Carolina resident Sylvia Hatchell has an offseason home in Fairview and coached the all-time leading scorer in area history – Smoky Mountain alum Cetera DeGraffenreid (3,081 points).
It was announced today that Hatchell, who is the coach at the University of North Carolina, is part of the latest class to be inducted into the basketball hall of fame.
More from UNC:
Hatchell joins coaches Guy Lewis, Rick Pitino and Jerry Tarkanian and players Bernard King, Gary Payton and Dawn Staley as members of the 2013 class that was formally introduced Monday as part of the Men’s Final Four festivities in Atlanta.

Hatchell has won 636 games as the head coach at UNC in her 27 seasons at the helm. She has led the Tar Heels to eight Atlantic Coast Conference Tournament titles and, in 1994, won the NCAA Championship on Charlotte Smith’s buzzer-beating three-pointer against Louisiana Tech.

West Henderson baseball player Cameron Crisp and Enka softball player Courtney Pearson are the latest Citizen-Times/Western North Carolina Athletes of the Week.
Crisp (3-0), who is a senior, still has a 0.00 earned-run average after 26.2 innings of pitching for the Falcons (11-1, 6-0) this spring. He threw a complete game shutout and struck out 11 in Tuesday’s 9-0 win at defending WNC Athletic Conference champion Tuscola. Crisp has signed with Mars Hill.

Healthy Blalock shines for App. State
Patrick Blalock
Former Reynolds football standout Patrick Blalock has gone from a walk-on to scholarship player during his career at Appalachian State.
And it’s easy to see why based off his performance at the Mountaineers’ first extended spring scrimmage (which lasted 141 plays) on Saturday:
Blalock is a senior for the Mountaineers.
Here is his complete bio from the Appalachian State website:
Despite battling chronic thigh injuries since bursting on the scene as a walk-on true freshman two seasons ago, continues to perform at a high level … missed five games last season and a large amount of spring practice due to the continuing thigh ailments but has worked throughout the spring and summer to overcome the injury and return to the field at 100 percent for fall camp … despite missing large chunks of last season and spring drills is penciled in as the starter at free safety this fall … is also one of squad’s top special-teams performers.
2011: Limited to seven games by recurring thigh injuries … started first three games of the year at free safety before sitting out the next five contests due to the thigh ailment … finished the year with 14 tackles in seven games, with two of the stops coming on kickoff coverage … made a season-high five tackles in season opener at Virginia Tech … had three stops in home-opening win over North Carolina A&T … made just one tackle before suffering the thigh injury the following week versus Savannah State … missed five full games before returning to the field on Nov. 5 at Furman … made five tackles over then final three games of the season, including two each versus Western Carolina and Maine … broke up a pass versus WCU and blocked a field goal against Maine.
Walk-on true freshman earned a spot on the travel squad with his terrific performance in fall camp … made headlines by blocking two punts (one of which was wiped out due to a penalty) and recording four special-teams tackles in home-opening win over Jacksonville … the standout performance in only his second collegiate game spurred head coach Jerry Moore to announce following the game that he would be put on scholarship … went on to see more playing time at safety in addition to his duties on special teams … made first start at free safety in sixth game of the season versus The Citadel and registered four tackles and a pass break-up … started again the next week at Western Carolina and broke up another pass but suffered a thigh injury and missed the following game versus Furman … did not return to the starting lineup the rest of the season but continued to contribute greatly down the stretch, highlighted by a season-high eight tackles, a fumble recovery and a pass break-up in SoCon title-clinching rout over No. 4 Wofford … tallied four tackles in losses to Florida and Villanova … finished season with 30 tackles (21 solo), three pass break-ups and a fumble recovery in 12 games … was ASU’s only representative on the SoCon’s all-freshman team.
High School: Was the state of North Carolina’s leading tackler with 221 stops as a senior at A.C. Reynolds H.S., helping lead the Rockets to the 2009 N.C. 4-A state championship … named state championship game’s most valuable defensive player … earned all-state recognition as a senior and all-conference accolades as a junior and senior … was A.C. Reynolds’ 2009 football MVP and the school’s Male Athlete of the Year for 2009-10 … coached by Shane Laws … earned a total of seven varsity letters, also lettering in basketball and track and field.
Full name is Patrick Cordell Blalock … born July 15, 1992 (20 years old) … son of Jennifer McCann and Richard Blalock … both parents are school psychologists … enjoys collecting movies … majoring in business marketing … member of ASU athletics’ and Southern Conference academic honor rolls.
Big weekend for Rams
Roberson has taken its share of lumps this baseball season.
Yet the Rams (9-6, 3-2) are still No. 17 in the latest Perfect Game national poll and justified that ranking with Saturday’s 13-10 win over one of the traditionally-best teams in Tennessee, No. 47 Knoxville Farragut.
Clemson recruit Katon Harwood (2-1) held Farragut to three runs and seven hits in six innings pitched. Harwood struck out six batters and walked none.
Connor Lind was 3-for-4 at the plate with two RBIs and Georgia recruit Dominick Cammarata went 3-3 with a double and four RBIs. Roberson (9-6) was then able to hold on after allowing seven runs in the seventh inning.
The Rams beat Lexington Catholic (Tenn.), 7-1, earlier in the day.
Wake Tech recruit J.D. Cook pitched five innings of shutout ball. He scattered two hits and issued one walk. North Carolina recruit Braxton Davidson was 2-3 with a double and four RBIs.
Roberson returns home Tuesday for a rivalry game against Mountain Athletic Conference 4-A leader Reynolds (11-2, 5-1). The Rockets beat the Rams, 4-2, back on March 8.

Naturals' Fletcher returns with authority
Royals' No. 17 prospect goes yard twice, drives in four runs
06/06/2013 7:29 PM ET
Brian Fletcher has four homers and seven RBIs in six games for Northwest Arkansas.
Brian Fletcher has four homers and seven RBIs in six games for Northwest Arkansas. (John Owen)
Brian Fletcher made up for lost time on Thursday night in a big way.
The Royals' No. 17 prospect homered twice and drove in four runs as Northwest Arkansas defeated Tulsa, 10-4.
In Fletcher's first at-bat since April 8, the right-handed hitter hit a two-run homer to right field. After grounding out in the third inning, he opened the fifth with a solo homer. The Georgia native added an RBI double in the eighth.
"Everything went well," Fletcher said. "Right before I came here, I played a few games in Arizona [to] see some live pitching and get some rhythm back. It felt good, first at-bat, able to get that one out to right."
Fletcher went on the disabled list after breaking his hamate bone on April 8. Prior to the injury, he was batting .158 in five games, but had homered in two of the last three games he played in. With the amount of time missed, players sometimes come back with a rusty swing, but it wasn't the case for Fletcher.
"It's one of those things when you take time off you don't see live pitching for a while and it kind of throws your timing off," the 24-year-old outfielder said. "Hitting in the cage, you're feeling good but going into the game is completely different.
"If anything I was trying to keep it simple tonight, just trying to see some pitches and just being ready. Hopefully, it will carry over in the next few games here."
After enjoying a strong 2012 in which he batted .272 with 15 homers in 132 Minor League games and played in the Arizona Fall League's Rising Stars Game, missing two months of the season was a tough pill to swallow.
"I was trying to get back as soon as possible, but you got to get it full strength before you even start taking some live swings," said the son of former Major League infielder Scott Fletcher. "It set me back about a month-and-a-half. I was in Arizona rehabbing, I could feel it getting better and better.
"It was missed time and it was frustrating, but at the same time, you have to take it and embrace it. I was able to come back out here and move forward."
Rey Navarro was 3-for-4 with two RBIs and Mitch Canham scored twice for the Naturals.
Kent Matthes hit a two-run homer for the Drillers.

The Twilight Saga
Sometimes I feel as if I'm inadvisable as if i was never to exist for any reason as if i was a mistake.
People think all the time that baby's are is takes or meant to be and some think that all kids are a gift from god
but if that was true then why do i feel as if i was never meant for anything
as if nothing but gravity is holding me to the earth
i wonder what life has planned for me or if there is anything planned at all

Nice Variation
"I was stocking up for my new "hobby" of hosting cocktail parties and wanted a range of different glasses, other than the run of the mill styles that are usually found in pubs. These fit the bill, nicely. I went for these due to their smaller capacity, as I already have slightly larger "double" old fashioned glasses."
Vyv Wiltshire - Bristol, 7th August '13
"These are handy glasses that stack well. They are a little bit smaller than I expected but none the less a nice usable size. Delivered quickly and without problem."

Warwick man part of WWII family
Photo by Casey Dixon
Photo by Casey Dixon
WARWICK -- Grady West of Warwick is the youngest of five brothers who served during World War II. West served in the U.S. Maritime Service during World War II while his brothers were serving in the Army.
The Maritime Service (USMS) was established in 1938 by President Franklin D. Roosevelt when a second world war seemed imminent. Roosevelt realized that numerous ships would be needed to carry war supplies to the fronts with specially trained personnel operating the ships.
West said the purpose of the USMS was to train men and officers to operate the merchant ships. In 1943, West said a recruiter came to his high school in Ashburn and spoke to the students about the need for men in the service.
"I agreed to join and went to boot camp immediately after I signed up," he said.
The 19-year-old West would soon learn, however, that the position he had signed up for was not what he thought it was.
"I signed up and wanted to be a fireman," he said. "I originally thought a fireman was someone that ran around and put out fires on the ship."
West said he quickly learned that this was not the case.
"They put us on a bus to Atlanta and then we boarded a train to New York where the training base was," he said. West trained at Sheepshead Bay in New York, which at the time was the newest training facility for the USMS.
"When I got there, I figured out right away that wasn't going to be putting out fires," he said. West said a fireman operated an oil-burning system to generate steam in boilers on small and medium sized vessels.
West would not work as a fireman for long. He said that the need for men was desperate during the war and that many men were given jobs that needed to be filled.
"They sent me to Pennsylvania and I was assigned to the mess crew," he said. "So, my first few months aboard the ship I was mostly washing dishes."
West said that eventually he was sent back to work in the engine department, where he found his calling as an engineer. "They sent me to officer training school in Connecticut," he said.
West began working as an engineer aboard merchant ships delivering supplies to the Allied Forces around the globe during World War II.
West said one of his brothers who influenced him greatly was his brother Sidney Loran West, who fought in Saipan during the Pacific campaign in World War II.
He said his brother Loran joined the Army in 1941 as part of the Army Corps of Engineers.
"Their job was to build landing strips for the Allies in the Pacific," said West. "They were taking the islands step by step."
West, said Loran was involved during the Battle of Saipan in June 1944, where he was wounded when shrapnel from a bomb lodged in his back.
In a letter from Loran to their mother on July 23, 1944, he described the attack as brutal and remarked at the headlines the battle had made.
"Say I better tell you where I am before you think this is a snow job," he wrote. "Well I am in Saipan Island one of the Mariana Islands. And I know we have made headlines."
Loran wrote about the fear he felt during the counter attacks by the Japanese.
"I can tell you that the first few nights I was never so scared in all my life," he wrote. "Them bombs started to fall. I thought my time had come, I had rather have five Japs shooting at me then have one plane dropping bombs around."
Grady West said despite Loran West's apparent injury, he continued to serve his country until he was discharged. Grady West said he brother would go on to get married, but died early in life due to medical complications of the shrapnel in his back.
West said another brother, Eddie Lee West, served in the Army Military Police stationed in the Panama Canal Zone.
"I got to see him on several occasions when I was passing through the Canal Zones," he said.
Grady West said his older brother even took him along on duty one night.
"Their job was to keep the American military personnel who might have been drinking to much from getting into more trouble," he said. Eddie Lee also had to act as a detective for the Canal Zone, making sure that enemy ships or cargo was not being allowed to pass through.
He said Eddie Lee returned to the family farm after he was discharged from the military.
West second oldest brother, Alfred Clayton West, was the only brother to be drafted into the war.
"He (Clayton) was married and had on son and he had a paint business at that time," he said. "He was drafted in the last group of 35-year-old men."
West said Clayton was the last brother to join the service during World War II and went on to become a successful contractor.
He said his brother Ray Gaston West, was the most deeply affected by the war.
West said his brother fought during the Battle of the Bulge, the major German offensive in Dec. 1944 and what has been called the bloodiest battle that the Allied forces experienced in World War II.
"They (the Germans) massacred a lot of the soldiers," he said. "It was a terrible battle."
West said although Gaston survived the battle, he came home shell-shocked and experienced post traumatic stress disorder.
"He was having nightmares," he said. "He would wake up at three in the morning screaming."
West said his brother was not very open about his mental anguish and that he regrets that there were no psychiatrists around in the '40s and '50s who could treat this type of illness.
"The didn't have the psychiatrists or medical personnel to treat these men," he said. "They suffered alone. They were just victims of a situation beyond their control."
West said that Gaston never married and continued to battle depression throughout his life.
The men of the West family were not the only ones to aid in the fight during the war.
West's only sister, Lola Lou West, stayed with her brother Clayton while he was stationed in Florida and worked for the Army Air Forces Tactical Air Command during World War II.
Grady West married high school sweetheart, the late Evelyn West, in 1946 and worked as an engineer for General Electric in Cleveland, Ohio, until he moved to Warwick and worked for 31 years as the production manager for the Crisp County Hydroelectric Dam.

Multi-faceted Refractions
Podcast – danah boyd’s Social Media and Youth Culture: What Every Parent Should Know
October 12, 2009 · No Comments · Uncategorized
On Wednesday, October 7th, the Family Awareness Network sponsored a presentation by danah boyd, entitled Social Media and Youth Culture: What Every Parent Should Know. ms. boyd has graciously allowed me to post this podcast for others to be able to access.
In this presentation, danah talks about how society has changed from one which children have the opportunity to roam with others out in the neighborhood to one which children are isolated, occasionally socializing in organized play-dates, organized sports, and often over-scheduled. Children just want to connect and socialize with each other. Into this void, youth are increasingly turning to electronic communication, via text messaging and internet based communication (IM, Facebook, mySpace) to provide an opportunity to replace these lost opportunities. danah explores how youth use social networks in a way and helps decode what students are doing.

LIVE FEED of Sderot Rally 5PM EST

The only US Presidential candidate to get the name “Sderot” pronounced correctly and talk about the event itself and its significance was Barak Obama.
McCain called it sherot, and congratulated Israel on it’s 60th anniversary.
Clinton called it sedairo and applauded the concert.
Obama said Sderot and talked about his support for the solidarity rally. Obama talked about the rockets being fired into the city every day and how we have to support Israel and fight terrorist like Hamas. Wonder who is on his staff or if he actually knows what is going on?
• Zechariah Mehler
Yes Dave, Obama was the only politician to pronounce Sderot correctly. It doesn’t make up for the fact that he sits quietly in the pews of his Church while his religious leader refers to Israel as a “dirty word”.
• Gadi Ian
It also doesn’t make up for the fact that he’s hired a cadre of anti-Israel policy advisers, including (but not limited to): Zbigniew Brzezinski and son, Robert O.Malley, Susan Rice, Samantha Power (now fired, but for a completely different reason), and Tony McPeak.

Tin Tabernacles
on Tuesday, 26 August 2014. Posted in Architecture, Traditions and Folklore
I came across a beautiful example of a tin tabernacle whilst exploring the area of Braydon recently, and I began wondering about the history of these most temporary of religious structures. Here’s what I discovered!
Britain saw a ‘revival’ of preaching in the 19th century through to the outbreak of WWI, with mass meetings attended by huge audiences. By the late 1850s churches were becoming overcrowded and the search was on for new buildings to use as places of worship. Non-conformists were not bound by the Anglican parish system and found it much easier to expand with new builds or altering existing buildings. Smith (2004) in his book Tin Tabernacles states that over 100,000 people were converted during this time, 80% of whom were non-conformist.
Welcome, the tin tabernacle!

Arsenic and Old Heytesbury
on Tuesday, 12 August 2014. Posted in Architecture
One of our latest jobs has been at the mill, Heytesbury, a gorgeous location with a clear mill-pond which the locals have traditionally used to cool down on a hot day. This mellow jumble of different brick and stone ranges, and varied roof-lines represents a site continually occupied from at least the early 17th century, and probably earlier. By the mid-C17 Heytesbury was owned by the a’Court family from Ivychurch near Salisbury. They continued to own much property here until the 1920s. During research into the family, an interesting case of poisoning came up.
Our Conservation team's expert handiwork is now on display at the Museum of East Asian Art
on Tuesday, 05 August 2014. Posted in Conservation
The Museum of East Asian Art in Bath currently has an exhibition showcasing some of their exquisite Chinese Metalwork and the conservation work carried out on the objects by conservators here at the Wiltshire and Swindon History Centre. The aim of the exhibition is to show that by carefully cleaning and looking after objects we can ensure they will be treasured for generations to come.
The objects on display are highly decorated often involving the use of, gold and silver or other coatings such as lacquer and enamelling. The presence of additional materials and decorative coatings makes the conservation of such objects more complex and so poses more of a challenge. Each of the treatments needs to be picked carefully to ensure the work carried out on one of the materials does not adversely affect any of the others.

Any suggestions for Spending tracker app for iPad
Hello all:
I have been looking for a good App just to track expenses on the go. I don't need anything too fancy, but would be nice to be able to create some categories. I just need it to keep track and export to CSV at the end of the year, to make my tax prep easier.
I tried Ispending--great interface but it is not free. Before I plop down $$, just want to know if it is good.
Saw Spending Tracker but that seems to have a lot of ads.
Any thoughts?
I do not want to keep bank info etc. at all....

I haven't used either of the two apps you mention, but I did test out a couple before settling on Money Pad. I have been pretty happy with it. It's very customizable and easy to add expenses, but there is a learning curve involved. Many of the apps have free versions so you can test them out before paying for the unlimited version - this helped me find one that I liked.

The factory driver’s side exhaust manifold on the 2001-2010 Chevy 6.6L Duramax engine is pinched down to allow for steering shaft clearance, which is actually not required. As a result, this serious restriction affects the driver’s side front two cylinders, flowing only 80% of what the passenger side flows causing an imbalance between the two banks and additional heat build-up.
Aftermarket exhaust manifolds that increase the internal bore size of their units compared to the port size on the cylinder head cools the exhaust inside the manifold only, but, the temperatures inside the combustion chamber is higher because of less turbo boost.
This has a negative effect on engine performance as it decreases turbo drive pressure energy and falsely lowers EGT readings. EGT is normally monitored by the driver to determine cylinder temperatures and by changing the base temperature referred to can result in engine damage.
BD’s Full Bore exhaust manifold restores exhaust flow balance, improves power and reduces EGT’s inside the combustion chamber. All of which is accomplished by maintaining internal bore size thus maintaining turbo drive pressure. Get better performance and save hundreds of dollars by using BD product versus other aftermarket manifold kits.
Made from high-silicon ductile iron, the Full Bore is a direct, bolt-in replacement for the factory manifold and is even drilled and tapped to accept the most popular EGT probes.

I had BD install this product. The effect on EGT's is very posittive. Normal driving at highway speeds now has EGT's as low as 550 versus 800 and steep grades at 900 versus 1150. Truck is a 2003 LB7 with approx 500 HP at rear weheels. I cant wait to tow to see differences.

The manifold fits great and works fine with the old gaskets, what the problem is they should tell you to remove the intercooler tube and disconnect the the sterring shaft, at least on my 2002 it is impossible to get off if the 2 studs stay in the block,the heat shield was not to bad to reshape.GOOD WORK BD

I have a 2002 Chevy Duramax and the steering shaft is no where close to the NEW BD Manifold.
The steering shaft is parallel to the manifold and has just slightly more angle, how can the shaft get any closer?? If the shaft was almost straight up and down yeah, but this is not that case.
I was told the stock design was for a cab over style truck and that is why the manifold was originally desgin by Isuzu for GM that way. For a vertical steering shaft.
Also getting the old Heat shield to fit was not too bad, worth saving the cost of paying BD to manufacture a new one.
People I own a Diesel Performance Shop, this is A SUPER NICE PERFORMANCE PIECE, ONE OF THE NICEST PIECES I HAVE SEEN. LOOKS FACTORY!!! Well deveploed, Made out of the correct material for longevity. Tapped for a Exhaust Probe. What more could you ask for???
AAAA++++ and my hat off to BD on this part.
I recommend them to all my customers, you have to get the heat out people, restriction makes heat which is the killer!!!

Kerry on Style, Both Lose on Substance
Kerry definitely won the debate by theatrical criteria. He looked and sounded better. Bush, as nearly universally acknowledged by now, looked and sounded terrible. He should have spent the day sleeping instead of hurricane-politicking in Florida.
On substance, I flunk them both. Bush was pitiful at defending his record in Iraq. He could hardly attempt it with a straight face. All he could say is that it's hard work and good people are working hard. Yawn.
All Kerry really promised is that he would try to arrange it so that foreign kids were shot and blown up so that fewer American kids would have to suffer. Now there's a policy I can get enthusiastic about. Didn't he promise to send more troops to Iraq?
I don't know what difference it will make in the end, but Kerry did what he had to do.
