While Fat Tuesday might not happen until Feb. 12, organizers and volunteers at the Oktibbeha County Heritage Museum are getting into the Mardi Gras spirit with its newest exhibit.
During January and February, Mardi Gras accessories and festive items — both vintage and contemporary — will be on display thanks to Wanda Thorne, Joan Wilson and Betsy Longest.
Growing up in the New Orleans area, Thorne said she had fond memories of the yearly parades and festivities.
"When I was in elementary school, my father would take me to the parades if I had gotten my homework done during the week," she said. "I can remember they used to pull the floats with mule they used from the sanitation department and since they didn't have lighting on the floats back then, men would carry these lighted poles called flambeaux."
With most of the display coming from her personal collection, Thorne said one item in the display case is filled with Mardi Gras treasures.
"I have a whole collection of doubloons in a cigar box at the museum," she said. "Growing up, they didn't have doubloons, but over the years my mother, who still lived down there, would go and gather them and tons of beads and send them back to our kids."
Attending LSU with her husband Mike, Thorne said she can remember school officials letting students out of school for the annual party.
"They would give a holiday for the actual Mardi Gras day, but you had to be back in class on Wednesday," she said. "Now, I think they give them the whole week off."
Reminiscing on the extravagant krewe balls, lavish parades — she was once featured in one — and the joy of the weeks-long festivities, Thorne said she cherishes the time she spent at Mardi Gras as a child and young adult.
"There are a lot of good memories," she said. "I made a binder that is at the museum that has a lot of material about the history and facts about Mardi Gras that people might not know."
Betty Longest said the Mardi Gras display is a part of an ongoing initiative by the museum to feature a variety of exhibits throughout the year.
"As the year moves on we'll do something in connection with the seasons," she said. "With spring coming up, we'll have one on flowers and gardening."
With construction and renovations almost complete, Longest said she is grateful for the work of the Landscape Architecture and Architecture schools for investing in work the museum does for Starkville and Oktibbeha County.
"We hope that people will find something worthwhile in our rain garden and the various rotating exhibits and programs we plan on providing," she said. "We don't want to just be there, we want people to be actively aware that there is something new to see."

We have already introduced address field search suggestions powered by our partners Google (default), Bing, Яндекс (Yandex), and Wikipedia (English only). Now we want our own address field suggestions to meet the same high quality standards as the ones provided by our partners for your bookmarks and history entries.
In our old system; everything including bookmarks was matched against page URL, title, or page content and then ordered in one giant list sorted by last visited time.
The new system assigns a score to each suggestion based on more factors than just the last visited time. For example, we prioritize your bookmarks, the position in the URL where we find a match, and the number of times we get a match on the page.
We are not done yet, and will work on integrating Speed Dials and further improve the scoring system.
What do you think about the new results in the address field? Are we getting you to where you wanted to go?

Robotics Studio based NXT Remote Control
Well, it finally resulted in a first version of an application that enables you to remotely control the NXT motors with a simple graphical user interface running on the PC (to be more specific: on the Robotics Studio runtime).
Feel free to have a go at it - feedback is highly appreciated.
9 comments:
I may just not be as good with text programming but I can not seem to get the NXT remote control to work. I seek clarification. All I could understand from teh readme instructions was to copy the service files into bin/service. The other directions (changing enviroment etc)were lost on me and I have clicked almost everything that can be clicked. Help.

Hi anoymous,
I tried to limit the Readme instructions to the steps that are to my knowledge the required ones to get the service running - in the end, it's actually not more than the copying to the services and the execution of the run.bat.
Didn't that work for you?
What problems are you facing with it?
Matthias "likes Brian's idea of adding long middle name comments to his signature" Paul
- Jul 19, 2006, 7:01:00 PM
Dear Mathias,
first of all, compliments.
Then I installed everything.
I configured com3 in the xml file, because on my pc it is so.
1) What steps are required to do on the NXT?
2) On PC side, is sufficient only to run your application or is necessary to setup "something" on the bluetooth dongle?
Thanks, Pietro from Italy

- Matthias Paul Scholz said...
Ciao Pietro,
> 1) What steps are required to do on the NXT?
Given that Bluetooth communication between your PC and the NXT works in principal (best try it with the NXT-G software) none particularly related to the Robotics Studio that I know of.
> 2) On PC side, is sufficient only to run your application or is necessary to setup "something" on the bluetooth dongle?
Running the Run.bat file should be sufficient.
What is the output on the Robitics Studio shell you get?
Matthias Paul
- Jul 20, 2006, 10:57:00 PM
Dear Matthias,
thank you for answering (I can "play" with NXT only after dinner, when all my childrens are sleeping).
- I tryed with NXT edu Software and the Bluetooth is working fine.
- The Bluetooth dongle is connected in COM3, so I edited the xml files, as you described and I replaced the number 5 with 3.
- I tryed to run a motor, but without success;
- doing something on your remote-control panel, the output of the Robotics Studio shell is:
Motor A forward
LegoNXT::SendLegoCommandHandler 4 0 False 0 100 1 1 100 32 0 0 0 0
LegoNXTMotor::SetMotorPowerHandler 0 -> 0
LegoNXT::SendLegoCommandHandler 4 0 False 0 0 1 1 100 32 0 0 0 0
Motor A stop
LegoNXTMotor::SetMotorPowerHandler 1 -> 100
LegoNXT::SendLegoCommandHandler 4 0 False 1 100 1 1 100 32 0 0 0 0
Motor B forward
LegoNXTMotor::SetMotorPowerHandler 1 -> 100
LegoNXT::SendLegoCommandHandler 4 0 False 2 100 1 1 100 32 0 0 0Motor C forward
Where could be the problem?
viel danke und auf wiedersehen

- Jul 21, 2006, 4:19:00 PM
- Matthias Paul Scholz said...
from the console's output you sent I deduce that the bluetooth messages are actually sent ( the "LegoNXT::SendLegoCommandHandler" statements); on the software part there's no error, at least none that gets displayed.
Hence I'm out of my diagnostic means here.
Did you try to run the robotics tutorials already, in particular no. 4? Do they work on your machine?
- Jul 21, 2006, 9:51:00 PM
Ciao Matthias,
I'll do a step back on reading the tutorial...
Ciao e grazie, Pietro
- Jul 26, 2006, 2:59:00 AM
- Matthias Paul Scholz said...
There have been some problems reported by other people with this one (which works without any issue for me), but I never could figure out what went wrong with it on their machine (people tended to not following this up until the end).
As Robotics Studio is a Technology Preview and beta, it's rather picky on configuration - I noticed that often things do not what they should not because the actual application is broken but because some config files are incompliant or some global settings are incorrect or Bluetooth does not work correctly or the likes.
That's the old great disadvantage of highly configurable, highly flexible, highly generical frameworks: you are relieved from writing the low-level communication code, but pay with an extended configuration effort for that (sometimes with a configuration nightmare), even more on frameworks where tool support for configuration is still low (as with Robotics Studio).
Remember J2EE in its childhood.
So a good strategy when something goes wrong with an RS application is first of all to try out if the samples that come with the preview do work at all.
As a matter of fact, I have lost touch with the evolvements of Rovbotics Studio over the last two months, for I have been so busy with other NXT-related stuff.
Some day I will resume that thread, yet.

Taking the top spot for the Aggies was 2012 Olympic finalist Cammile Adams, who covered the five-kilometer course in 1:01.51.3. Adams, who won the 200-meter butterfly at the U.S. Olympic Trials and went on to post A&M's highest individual finish at an Olympic Games with a fifth-place finish in London.
Trailing Adams were senior Maureen McLaine (1:02.23.2) and redshirt sophomore Lili Ibanez (1:04:34.0). Ibanez was competing in the maroon and white for the first time since last fall when a bicycle accident ended her collegiate season. She recovered in time to represent Mexico at the 2012 Olympic Games.
The Aggies scored 301 points to win the team championship, and were trailed by the University of Incarnate Word (180 points) and Trinity (178 points).

Cookie Time #1912
To bake cookies, Skipper® doll was prepared! She had a pot (like the double boiler insert in Barbie® Learns To Cook #1634), a metal spoon with red plastic end on the handle, wooden rolling pin with red handles, a "Barbie® Easy-As-Pie" cookbook and a box of Mattel Cookie Mix (just in case Barbie® doll's recipe failed!). Skipper® doll wore a red/white/blue dress — the sleeveless bodice had a collar, tucked front and fire red buttons. The low waist was accented by an attached red belt where it met a navy skirt with white accent stitching. Red flat shoes completed the tasty set!

Is that? It can't be… a purple crocus? In the middle of winter?!
Yes, it's barely March, and June, it seems, is already bustin' out all over.
According to Dee Yardley, Sag Harbor Village Superintendent of Public Works, the lack of snow and ice means the village is already shifting gears.
Rather than bringing out the snow plow, village crews are clipping branches and clearing leaves and debris from village roadways. And as far as he can tell, the weather still looks good at least through next week.
"We're going to be ahead of schedule big time," he noted.
The horticultural world is seeing a similar change of pace.
"I've been gardening all year long!" said Bridgehampton resident Paige Patterson, an avid gardener and garden consultant at Marder's Nursery. "My garlic is up, so is my hellebore, and the daffodils are already six inches [tall]," she explained. Patterson went on to say she has two flowering trees in her yard, including a flowering Japanese apricot, which is already in bloom. "I have the most spectacular pink trees!"
Still, she added, "The most impressive thing is that my rose bush has new leaves on it… that's crazy."
She said rose bushes typically don't sprout leaves until well into March, and hers had foliage in February.
According to Patterson, mild weather patterns will lead to a "gorgeous" spring — that is, if a cold snap doesn't get in the way.
If a freak cold spell hits the East End while plants are starting to bud, Patterson said the blooms will get killed off. While most species of flower will regenerate and work toward re-blooming later in the season, she said the situation is not so sunny for hydrangeas.
The white, soft-serve-ice-cream-shaped Hydrangea Paniculata, will be able to weather the storm, but "Most hydrangeas only have one set of buds," she explained, like the Nikko Blues that pepper the East End in the summer months.
"They set their flower buds in early August," Patterson began. "The problem we first had was that [Tropical Storm Irene] defoliated everything. The salt air got on everything and all the leaves browned. So, most of the 2012 buds actually opened in 2011. The ones that didn't are opening now."
Because these flowers do not regenerate growth as readily as other flowers, Patterson said any freezing cold weather at this point could potentially kill-off the blue Nikko Hydrangeas for the season.
As for the climate we'll be privy to in the spring, that much remains to be seen. What Patterson, and others, are already predicting with some degree of certainty, however, concerns another aspect of gardening: pests.
"I think we're going to have a really bad bug year," Patterson added. "I'm really stressed about that."
According to Geoffrey Nimmer of East End Garden Design, the relatively warm weather combined with the lack of moisture we've experienced this year combine to create a recipe not only for more bugs, but for fungi.
"Fungi that lives in the ground and affects roses and some flowering trees are usually kept at least somewhat in check by a good hard freeze," Nimmer wrote in an email. "I think it will be particularly hard on turf, both because of the fungus issue and because there will be more grubs closer to the roots of lawns earlier in the season."
According to the circle of life, Nimmer continued, grubs mean moles and moles very often bring voles. And neither vermin happen to be good for vegetation.
And unfortunately, as many of us know, certain warm-weather pests are not restricted to the gardening arena.
Former East Hampton Town Natural Resources Director Larry Penny, who lives in Noyac, said this year's weather conditions could have created a big year for everyone's favorite summertime arachnid: the tick.
"Just last Wednesday I got an adult female deer tick on me," Penny said. "That's the earliest I've ever seen them in winter."
In the vein of springtime annoyances, Sag Harbor resident Lester Ware said he's already started taking allergy medicine, a spring-time routine he began this year mid-February.
"It's as early as I've ever taken it," he exclaimed, saying he usually begins taking meds late-March.
According to Dr. Richard Nass — an ear, nose and throat doctor with offices in Amagansett — these early sneezes may not have a direct correlation to pollen count, at least not yet. He said biometric pressure changes that occur when the seasons shift initially cause nose and throat membranes to get agitated.
However, he added, this may just be the beginnings of more successive sneezes.
"In the long term, it's been a wet season, so the root systems of plants have done very well," he continued. So, in that sense, "we would expect it to be a bad allergy season."
For his part, Penny has seen a lot of seasons come and go, and this one, he noted, is very odd indeed.
"This is the most unusual winter I've experienced in 76 years," said Penny, referencing influential paleontologist George Gaylord Simpson who coined a theory he referred to as "sweepstakes," which deals with random moments in evolution.
As Penny explained it, "Things come and go according to the season, but there's always the chance that something unusual will happen to change the whole direction of evolution and nature."
This year, reproductive rates are already up, Penny added, and with such warm weather fostering many throughout the winter, he said many species might grow even more.
"One group that's going to really go sky high is the turkeys, they're all over the place." Penny continued. "And because the numbers are so high to begin with, when they get a little extra food from [more] vegetation and insects they'll go hog wild."
He predicted that the East End could be in the midst of a so-called "sweepstakes."
Although, he said, cold weather would throw a wrench in the spokes. And, you never know, it could very well snow in June.

Remember that rudimentary data-wiping malware found on a few computers in Iran this month? Most security experts pegged it as a simple, unsophisticated copycat of more sophisticated data-destruction malware attacks.
But in the latest twist, Industrial Safety and Security Source reported this week that the malware was courtesy of a U.S.-Israel attack, citing unnamed CIA sources who also say the attacks preceded the August Shamoon attack that hit Saudi Aramco and Iran's oil ministry.
Security researchers are unconvinced, however, noting that malware attribution -- especially when it comes to espionage and sabotage -- is difficult. And Chester Wisniewski, a senior security adviser for Sophos who has studied the so-called Batchwiper/GrooveMonitor attack, says it's "highly unlikely" that a CIA official would confirm such an attack if it were true.
The real problem is "attribution obfuscation," says Roel Schouwenberg, senior researcher for global research and analysis at Kaspersky Lab. "Following Shamoon, I stated we'd likely start seeing a trend where supposed nation-state malware would become more simplistic. Only top teams can develop top malware, such as Stuxnet and Flame. So it's quite clear what type of entity is likely behind it. Simplistic attacks can come from anyone," he says.
With targeted attacks, it doesn't matter whether it's complex or simple, as long as it works, he says.
Still, he says Kaspersky doesn't know who or what type of entity is behind Batchwiper/GrooveMonitor. "The only thing the attacks have in common from what we can see is the geographic location. But as we don't have reports from the wild for this most recent piece of malware, we can't actually confirm that," he says.
Iran's CERT on Sunday first issued an alert about the relatively rudimentary malware, which was discovered to delete data off of various drives at specific times and dates. The malware is a "very simple" knockoff of other wiping malware with no relation to those previously discovered malware attacks, and "very few machines" were infected by it, according to the CERT.
Researchers from Symantec, Kaspersky Lab, AlienVault Labs, and SophosLabs all concurred that it's a simplistic yet lethal piece of malware that doesn't appear to be related to the nation-state-built Stuxnet and Wiper that hit Iran's nuclear facility, or the destructive Shamoon that wiped 30,000 workstations.
"[The malware] is really as basic as it gets. It couldn't really be dumbed down much more. It's easily the most simplistic piece of malware I've looked at all year, and well beyond that," Schouwenberg says. "In terms of 'unique' code, it's five to 10 lines. By itself nobody would have paid attention to this 10 years ago, let alone now."

The design of the A-body suspension found in the '66 Chevelle SS is structurally sound--so much so that that General kept the design right up until the late '80s. The four-link design out back offered stability both up and down and side to side upon mashing the throttle. Ultimately, after some 45 years of service, it's time for a technological upgrade, compliments of Detroit Speed & Engineering.
Some of the downfalls of the A-body suspension, and all muscle cars suspensions for that matter, are their driveability and handling. Joe Juliano bought his Chevelle SS from California a few years back and absolutely drives the wheels off it. He takes the family to dinner, piles the friends in and heads for the mountains, and blasts up and down Route 10 in northern New Jersey.
Like most of us, his first modification was in the power department, as he went to Steve Ficacci Racing Engines for a full-roller big-block making over 500 lb-ft of torque. He soon realized his efforts were for naught as 75 mph brought about a serious speed wobble and steering around corners required more effort and calculation than it ever should.
We couldn't let Joe go on like this, as all of his fillings were ready to fall out from the beating and banging of Jersey roads. Luckily, Detroit Speed was eager to serve up its new front suspension Speed Kit for the the '64-72 A-body, complete with tubular control arms, 2-inch drop spindles, Koni shocks, coils prings, and tubular sway bar. To this, we added its Speed Kit rear suspension to match. It included swivel-link control arms, a tubular sway bar, chassis brace kit, and adjustable Koni shock absorbers.
We also upgraded Joe's drum brakes to vacuum discs all the way around, courtesy of ABS Power Brake. To make life easier for us, we installed both suspension kits now and will be diving into the brake installation next month.
When we were done, Joe's '66 drove like a dream and handled absolutely every thing we threw at it, including the road course at Old Bridge Township Raceway Park in Englishtown, New Jersey. Sewer grates, speed bumps, and the slalom could not hold us back from having some great fun. The overhaul was like night and day from when we started but we expected nothing less from Detroit Speed & Engineering. Follow along as we painlessly install our speed kits.

Why I Teach
Imagination is central to the learning and teaching process. It allows both teacher and learner to engage unfamiliar discourse and enter into constructive conversation with the other. I seek to affirm the experiences students bring to the classroom and challenge them to reflect upon their prior assumptions.
Education is personally and socially transformative. The "big questions" must be asked anew in each generation. Through this educational journey, I find a rare and beautiful opportunity to combine my passion for ideas with my interest in the lived experience of individuals.

As a lover of gadgets, I am thrilled about the wearable technology trend, including innovative watches, glasses and earpieces.
So, when Pebble — the first digital watch that interfaces with your iPhone or Android to deliver alerts right to your wrist — gained serious buzz, I followed it closely. Soon, the Pebble Steel entered the market.
With a more executive design, the Pebble Steel gets some major style points over the initial release. It isn't too bulky and compares nicely to regular watches in the same price range. More importantly, however, it does what it says it is going to do — communicates with your iPhone or Android to provide notifications to your wrist. But, would the Pebble Steel impress me enough to dislodge the watch my family gave me for my birthday?
SEE ALSO: The best way to back up your photos (and everything else on your personal computer)
The Pebble Steel did elicit a few "ohhs" and "ahhs" from techy admirers, but after a week of wearing it, I can't recommend it as a productivity enhancer for any serious-minded business executive.
Below are some of my observations during the week I wore the watch.
Day 1: Blinded by the newness
I ripped open the package and immediately downloaded the free app that connects it to my iPhone. Then, I started playing with the intuitive navigation and all the ways in which my new toy could display the time — traditional clock face, digital display, in words, with a Batman logo, and more.

Stroke Overview
A stroke is an alteration, usually acute, in brain function due to injured or killed brain cells. The alterations result in changes in a person's ability to function normally. For example, a person may not be able to speak or move an arm or leg. The majority of strokes are caused by reducing or stopping the blood supply to brain cells. Stroke is sometimes termed a brain attack or a cardiovascular accident (CVA). It is much like a heart attack, only it occurs in the brain. Like a heart attack, stroke is a medical emergency. Do not wait or hesitate to call for emergency medical help. If a stroke is suspected in an individual, fast treatment has the potential to make a big difference in outcome.
Call 9-1-1 for stroke
When the blood supply to a part of the brain is cut off or greatly decreased, a stroke occurs. If the blood supply is cut off for several hours or more, the brain cells, without enough blood supply, die.
Depending upon the amount of blood involved and location of the stroke area in the brain, a person having a stroke can show many signs and symptoms. These can range from barely noticeable difficulties in moving or speaking to paralysis or death.
Over the last 15 years stroke care has changed dramatically due to the availability of new drugs as well as improved diagnostic and treatment modalities. Nowadays, treatments for the acute event, while it is happening, are available which makes recognizing strokes and getting immediate care critically important.

Campus Ministry Retreats Kicks Off with Urban Plunge
The Campus Ministry kicked off its year-long series of retreats this weekend with the Urban Plunge, which helps retreatants explore the inseparable link between faith and justice by "plunging" them into the reality of poverty and social injustice within the city of St. Louis.
On Saturday, 49 retreatants immersed themselves into the social and economic realities that contribute to urban poverty by providing service and learning about organizations throughout the city. One of the retreat's events included a presentation given by Let's Start, a program sponsored by St. Vincent De Paul parish dedicated to assisting women in transition from prison life to society.
In addition to working community service projects and the Let's Start presentation, the students listened to leaders of local social service agencies, community development organizations and the Catholic Worker community. They also spent time busting popular myths that perpetuate misunderstanding and fear, including the misperception that racism and segregation are things of the past.

Rated 4.2 out of 5Â by 18 reviewers.
Rated 2 out of 5Â by castaway Dorothy from the Wizard of OZ! I got the wine color because the gray was too dull and the other reviewer said its more like a LIGHT GRAY in person.. My bf saw me and has not stopped calling me 'Dorothy from the Wizard of Oz' since! I mean I get that its supposed to be eccentric but really? Also, like the other reviewers said I felt a sharp pain in my calf. I'm on the fence about keeping or returning.. 4.1.2012
Rated 5 out of 5Â by hihihishite Size up if you are in between I love these shoes in the black. I'm usually a 7.5 and the 7 was too small. The leather is heavenly soft. 2.22.2012
Rated 5 out of 5Â by ParisPienza Great Pair! My wife put on these shoes and WOW, she looks so HOT! She grew 5 inches in front of my eyes. These shoes will go with anything such as jeans or a short skirt. The other colors can't compare with this color (gray). I'm glad to see that you can't buy these shoes anywhere else except at Free People so get them while their available. 9.5.2011
Rated 5 out of 5Â by Shanddallar So gorgeous I saw these while looking at a dress I bought for ideas on what shoes to wear with it. These are amazing and sexy. I love the gray color and the gold buttons. Then I saw a pair of Louboutins that look almost exactly like this. These boots are expensive so I thought about it for a while but finally went to the store and tried them on. As soon as I put them on, I knew I had to buy them. They look amazing, feel pretty comfortable for the heel height, though I haven't worn it out yet so we'll see. The wine colored one is also so pretty. I wish I could buy that pair too! The boots look exactly as pictured and maybe even better in person. 1.4.2012
Rated 5 out of 5Â by saara AMAZING, I danced in them all night! I don't know why other reviewers said these shoes were painful... I wore them for several hours dancing. They were very comfortable, my feet felt great. Also, I believe they are true to size. I got the black, and got several compliments. They are fabulous. 2.24.2012
Rated 4 out of 5Â by Chocobi Great deal I am a true size 7 but with Jeffrey's I always purchasing half size bigger, since these doesn't come with half sizes I purchased a size 7 and fits perfect even with a thinner socks. I got the grey color which is much lighter in person, the booties are very well made and with a price like this... indeed a great deal! But I haven't worn these outside so I only gave 4 stars. Dear FreePeople how come all my purchased shoe boxes were all torn/destroyed??? Please next time be extra careful, Thank you. 8.7.2012
Rated 5 out of 5Â by Larisa Adorable, vintage-Esq, yet modern I'm a huge Beatles fan, so when I saw these shoes when they first came out in the fall catalogue, I freaked out. Unfortunately, being a student, my cash flow was minimal; I was so excited, however, to see them on sale. The button detailing is so Sergeant Pepper, and almost a little Victorian too. WIth the suede material and wine red coloring, they look so cute. The heel is a little high for me, but that's only because I don't wear heels often, and I think the shoes needed the heels to make them look more modern. Overall, this was a fantastic purchase, and I cannot WAIT to wear them! 7.16.2012
Rated 5 out of 5Â by Katykat Best. Boots. Ever. I just picked these up from the post office and could not wait to get home and put them on! I actually still have them on as I'm typing :) I originally bought them in the gray, and they look so fantastic on that I just ordered a pair in the magenta color too! The gray is a little bit lighter than pictured-- more of a soft bluish-gray than the deeper color in the picture, but I still think they're lovely-- and at the sale price, a steal! The fit is perfect, and as far as I can tell, they're surprisingly comfy. I know they'll go great with everything I have, and I can't wait to wear them out this weekend!! I'm in love :) 6.21.2012

Music Monday Slap Bass – "John The Fisherman" by Primus
Posted by KingShamus on January 14, 2013
Ladies and gentleman, as requested by the awesome Innominatus…I give you Les Claypool, Larry LaLonde and Tim Alexander.
This came out in 1990 on Primus' debut album Frizzle Fry. They had been demo'ing songs and performing live for years before their first record came out. Unlike a lot of bands, their sound was relatively well-formed from the jump.
But that description short-changes just how inventive they are. At the start of Primus' recording career, there were some groups who did slap-bass in a rock context. There were a few bands that liked to mix funk, metal and Caribbean drum sounds. Nobody did it with the amount of gleeful random goofiness that Primus brought to their songs.
"DMV" is pretty much the definitive put-down of our state automotive agency overlords. "My Name Is Mud" is even funnier when played at rain-soaked Woodstock '94. "Wynona's Big Brown Beaver" is the funhouse mirror parody of 80's hair-metal leering sexual innuendo. "Lee Van Cleef" is a wacked-out twelve bar blues tribute to the great western movie character actor. Why is a sweaty shirtless weirdo serving a leisure suit-clad horn dog a batch of nachos in the "Jerry Was A Racecar Driver" video? Who knows, but it works.
As trend-setting as Primus is, a lot of their musical progeny lost the humor as they nicked elements of their hero's sound. The Deftones are a cool band, but they're about as funny as an episode of "Oz". Groups like Korn and Incubus ripped off Les Claypool's bass lines even as they were making humorless turgid rap-rock. Turns out the hardest thing to steal from Primus is the zaniness.
Also, on a more personal note, back in the early 2000's I got one of those music organizer programs. You could collate your music by artist, title of the song, record name, whatever. You could also list your songs by genre. So you'd see labels like "rock", "metal", "pop" and "polka". Primus was the only band that was also a genre. I always thought that was pretty cool.
They're so unique, they've carved out a genre they occupy all by themselves.

Springfield rezones a dozen propertiesBy Susan Smallheer
Staff Writer | March 30,2013SPRINGFIELD About a dozen homes along Main Street and Precision Drive in North Springfield have been rezoned from industrial to residential/commercial.
The Select Board approved the proposed change, which would allow property owners to make changes to their properties that would have been forbidden under the old zoning designation, said Zoning Administrator Bill Kearns.
The new zoning change goes into effect in 21 days, unless the town receives a petition signed by 300 residents, he said Thursday.
Kearns said the industrial zoning problem surfaced last fall when a resident tried to subdivide his property into a home plus a rental unit after he failed to sell the property in one piece.
But under the industrial zoning district, the owner, Dan Gray, wasnt allowed to do that since residences are not allowed in industrial districts.
That was the first time I was aware they were zoned industrial, Kearns said. All those houses in the industrial zone are nonconforming so you cant do anything with them.
According to Kearns, the landowners couldnt add a shed or build a porch or deck in the district. Under the new zoning, it would be allowed.
During a public hearing on the proposal, landowner Steve Kraft asked questions about the change, but no other landowners attended the hearing.
Kraft has the largest piece of land affected by the change, Kearns said. Under the change a 100-foot-wide strip of his parcel would be zoned residential-commercial, with the rest of his property still considered industrial land.
At an earlier public hearing about the change in front of the Springfield Planning Commission, some people questioned the timing of the zoning change. They asked if it was somehow tied in with the proposed biomass plant in the North Springfield Industrial Park, a short distance from the homes currently in the same industrial zoning district.
The timing raised suspicions, Kearns admitted.
But he said that wasnt the case, and the change will actually give homeowners more flexibility and control over their property. Because the properties will be zoned residential/commercial, he said, people could put in a small business, such as a coffee shop, for instance.
During the Planning Commission hearing, some landowners said they didnt realize their homes were in an industrial zone.
Springfield does not have a lot of industrial land, but Kearns said the homes were on small lots and wouldnt be practical for industrial development.
Kearns said the properties have been zoned industrial since zoning was first adopted in Springfield; some homes on Fairbanks Road, which is on the western boundary of the industrial park, are still zoned industrial.
Changing the zoning for those homes would create spot zoning, he said.

RaSPy - the story continues
Thanks go to my fellow MDPer and blogger Brian Davis for taking my program and improving it using a multi-state SWITCH block (wish I had thought of it first). And he implemented the LOOP block for the initial 1...2...3...
Brian, nice clean program... great work. - Jim

I see concurrent processing!
Within the lefthand loop, how do you make A/B/C motors all 'do their thing' at the same time?
Wow, you guys have been busy, this is great stuff! I love what kids come up with when it comes to 'how to use the technology'.

What I've enjoyed about the project is watching how improvements have been made very quickly.
The early version (both hardware and software) was thrown together quickly... with no real design plan... just make it work.
Brian streamlined the software and I was able to look at the original hardware and see where it needed improvement (practically everwhere!).
Wouldn't you love to see what the original AlphaRex looked like?
- May 12, 2006, 2:31:00 AM
hi Jim!
Yes, i would like to see how the original AlphaRex looked like if you can get a video or pictures of it!
Thanks for a great blog!!

As to "concurrent" or parallel processing, all I did was drop some blocks off below the main sequence beam (the white LEGO beam holding all the programming blocks together). You can then "wire" a new sequence beam off of the main one to your "orphaned" block, and that's it! The new parallel sequence beam acts as an independant string of commands (very similar to a task, for those of you who prefer that term).

Awesome Brian, that's about what I was hoping for.
So, how many 'concurrent tasks' can you run... umm... concurrently? RCX had a hard limit of 10 separate processing paths, wondering how limited this environment is.

It could be said that 1978 was one of those years that could have easily been forgotten. Disco was still in full swing, KC and the Sunshine Band could be heard blaring from just about any eight-track that was available. It was a year that saw Al Unser winning his third Indianapolis 500 and infamous serial killer David Berkowitz aka "Son of Sam" was sentenced to 365 years in prison. It was the year of the Lufthansa heist, in which six men robbed a cargo facility in New York, making off with almost $6 million in cash and jewels. It also had its share of births-Kurt Busch and Dan Weldon, to name two most notable motorsports names.
The late '70s weren't all that great for us car guys. It was fraught with rising gas prices and higher emission standards-both of which choked the life out of a fire-breathing dragon and put it on bed rest with a nasty case of bronchitis, wheezing, and sputtering so cautiously that it could barely ignite an already-burning Bic lighter. Indeed, these were dark and sad times for the performance-oriented car enthusiast.
A faint and glimmering light beckoned off in the distance of the vast wasteland that was the automotive landscape. You see, even during times of great strife, the Camaro was a beacon for what was and what could be. You could still get the tried-and-true classic 350ci engine, albeit a bit strangled for power. It still had the classic lines that flowed smoothly from front fascia to rear spoiler. It was front engine and rear-wheel drive. What more could you want from a sports car?
The new-year model for the 1978 Chevy Camaro ushered in a new front and rear bumper combination and an actual hood scoop, unlike the previous year that only sported a lame sticker. People flocked to dealerships to hoard the new Camaro. Selling a record 272,631 units, it outsold the Ford Mustang for the second year in a row.
None of that awesome newness was lost on Jeff Faffler of St. Paul, Minnesota. His 1978 Chevy Camaro Z28 stands as a monument to what made the '70s bearable and even a little bit exciting. Jeff's love affair with his ultra-hygienic '78 didn't start right away. When he was 16, he was bit by the Chevy bug by a very unassuming '72 four-door Impala. From that very first car, Jeff knew he would only have Chevys for the rest of his life.
Jeff was enamored with the late second-gen Camaros, specifically the '78-81 model body style. He was smitten by the new bumpers, front and rear, that included the soft, body-color urethane bumpers. It was a fresh take on the almost decade-old Camaro moniker that had clearly evolved from the previous model years.
By his senior year of high school, in 1985, Jeff set out on a quest to find his own sports car. He had already made the decision that it had to be a Camaro and it had to be a '78. It was then he found a car he was interested in buying. Jeff called upon a good friend, Bob Klinger, who was an automotive body man and painter by trade, to help him out. The car had a minor 64,000 miles on it and had been freshly painted. The previous owner had installed an aftermarket sunroof that remains to this day, and a trailer hitch that was dismissed.
Jeff remembers the exact day he picked it up-September 9, 1985. He is the third owner and will probably be the last. "I've never considered selling my Camaro because I like the car too much. Plus, I would just look again for something similar to buy anyway," Jeff says. He used the car as a daily driver and put almost 17,000 miles on it in the first three years after the purchase. Even accounting for the brutal Minnesota winters and having to store the vehicle, that is a considerable amount of miles.
Jeff has had a lot of great memories with the car. He fondly recalls towing a rented boat with a group of buddies piled into the car (what a sight that must have been, Jeff! Where's the picture for your buddies at Camaro Performers?).

POTENTIALLY deadly blue-green algae has been found on Windermere.
The Environment Agency says it has found evidence of an algal bloom at Low Wray Bay, prompting South Lakeland District Council to issue a warning.
The authority said anyone using lakes, rivers and reservoirs should treat all blue-green algae blooms with caution and contact should be avoided as skin rashes and illness may occur if the water is swallowed.
Farmers and pet owners should also prevent livestock and animals coming into contact or drinking the affected water, as it can sometimes prove fatal for animals.
SLDC's environmental health team leader, Tracy Howard, said: "Blue-green algae can potentially make people feel quite ill if swallowed or even by just swimming in it.
"We just want people to be aware of the affects and are asking people to be extra careful and vigilant when using the lakes and rivers for recreational purposes during the summer months.
"The public should observe any notices near affected areas and avoid contact or drinking the water."
Many waters are vulnerable to problems with the algae, typically between June and November.
Experts say all blue-green algal blooms should be assumed to be toxic.
The blooms vary in colour from discoloured green, blue-green, greenish brown, or reddish brown.
Further information about blue-green algae can be found on the Environment Agency's website at www.environment-agency.gov.uk

Very good! Doesn't quite answer my question though
Posted 03 December 2012 - 23:42
Posted 03 December 2012 - 23:46
I read many job books and in each book they had same advice to never bad mouth about previous job or employer. If I were you, I would say " I really had very exciting job previously and enjoyed it most,but after doing it for a while I found that there was not much opportunity for advancement in career. I would like to work for your company since it is very big and well established company and like to see much potential in moving far ahead in future. you can say something along those lines. I will say, just give a brief description about leaving the job then quickly focus on why you like to work for your new company. Don't simply avoid the question as It will show you have something to hide and avoiding the answer but don't keep ranting about that job as well. Sometimes too much information is not good information. Talk more about your positive skills and divert the question after answering it to about what you can do for their company. Don't forget to tell them that you have excellent experince in dealing with clients on phone and you can bring lots of sales with your effective dealing and interacting with clients. Tell them what you can do for them rather than what you want in a company. Present yourself as problem solver and give the impression that by hiring you they will benefit. I will say take one example of their product and explain them how you will market that product with the prospective clients and how to sell them. . Good luck with your job hunt. I know its really stressful as I had been in same situation as you are in past.

Never say negative things, if there's a negative then structure it into a positive.
So, you found call-centre work to be akin to a modern sweat-shop (to paraphrase my wife's thesis)...
I would suggest something along the lines of "I was making calls that were unwelcome. I found that while I want to be helpful and, I was perceived as invading people's time."
Posted 04 December 2012 - 00:44
Posted 04 December 2012 - 00:59
Just be honest. If your reason for leaving was because they had green walls, and the new place has green walls too, you won't be happy at the new place either. I'm happy because I have a Windows 7 system at work now.

He's managed to get hold of a signed copy of Ben Aaronovitch's latest book ("Kindles suck, so I bought you a book instead"), wrapped it up all nice and neat, and taken it to the local Post Office and sent it to me, along with a very neatly written note, and a photo of his goodself.
Wow, what a boy!
Thanks Harry.

Seeing an idea,
turn into a quilt.
A quilt that needs ironing…..and basting and quilting and binding oh my!
P.S. The pattern for this quilt can be found on my sidebar or from the link at the top that says Tutorials. Its the Orange Quilt Pattern.
P.S. #2 I've had some questions about names of the fabrics from a couple of posts ago. If I didn't get back to you its because I don't know the name, but I bought them all here.

Outer Sarcophagus of the Royal Prince, Count of Thebes, Pa-seba-khai-en-ipet
In the Twenty-first Dynasty, the Egyptian elites stopped building elaborate tombs. Instead, they transferred the scenes normally painted on tomb walls to the coffin. Pa-seba-khai-en-ipet's outer coffin shows multiple scenes of the gods and the deceased worshipping them. Not only does the coffin present the deceased as Osiris, but it also illustrates the many gods he will confront in the afterlife.
The damage to the painted surface on the left side of the coffin has been left unrepaired to reveal how the carpenters pinned smaller pieces of wood together with wooden pegs to make a coffin. Artists then plastered and painted the surface to make it appear smooth.
