James Brown Laid to Rest, Finally
Music legend James Brown finally laid to rest Saturday March 10th. The Godfather of Soul's body was placed in a crypt at his daughter, Deanna Brown Thomas' Beech Island, South Carolina home Saturday, 75 days after his death.
The noon ceremony was attended by close family and friends, including Brown's partner, Tomi Rae Brown. Rev Al Sharpton, who presided the ceremony, spoke on their behalf. "His children decided that they were not going to wait on the courts. He left a lot. They're fighting. People fight over that in court. They wanted their father entombed with dignity."
Brown died December 25th last year. He was 73. For months, his body has been kept at C.A. Reid's funeral home. Following the burial, Tomi Rae wants to build a public mausoleum on the ground of Brown's last home and turn the house into a museum, similar to that of Elvis Presley's Graceland.

- References
- hydrogen;
- storage;
- bulk;
- near-surface;
- above ground;
- stationary;
- infrastructure
In future sustainable energy systems, hydrogen could be employed in addition to its current chemical usage as a versatile energy carrier. This requires the buildup of a hydrogen delivery infrastructure with facilities for stationary large- and small-scale storage. One option for large-scale storage is to use underground storage, but good geological conditions do not exist everywhere. For this reason, alternatives for the storage of large quantities of hydrogen could be of great importance. This chapter is therefore dedicated to bulk hydrogen storage in vessels that can be located above ground or buried a few meters below the surface. Thereby, the considerations are confined to storage technologies for which no technical obstacle to their use is expected. These are containments for compressed gaseous hydrogen, cryogenic liquid hydrogen, and metal hydrides. In addition to technical data, cost estimates and economic targets are also presented. Further, a technical assessment of the storage efficiency and capacity of selected storage technologies with respect to the daily hydrogen demand of a fueling station is given.

Not sure if we're being trolled:
I think Tool has been leading us on in the press. I absolutely cannot reveal my sources for this. Let's just say that the mixing process has happened.
Tracklist for Decem:
Abscissa (13:47) The Awakening (12:03) Gematria (Act I) (14:33) Regresolution (13:56) Divinotus (12:45) Astral (Act II) (12:21)
Descending (13:53) Decem (12:22) Lesous (Act III) (12:43) Principles of March (12:01) Pascal's Wager (13:46) Zeta (Act IV) (14:27)
Judging by the song/track titles, we're definitely not being trolled!
lol those sound like The Mars Volta track titles.
Tool has like 6/7 songs in their entire catalog that are made up, mystic sounding words. The dozens and dozens of their other songs just have normal song titles. Why do the people who make these fake tracklists always think every Tool song has some gibberish name like that?
Regresolution (13:56)
Removed from Reddit. Shit, Ultimate-Guitar (almost) bought it: https://www.ultimate-guitar.com/news...ours_long.html
I honestly wouldn't be surprised if they're well into the finishing stages, TBH. This is pretty much how Lateralus was written. How long has it been since all the lawsuit stuff wrapped up?
They've admitted Maynard's been getting regular updates via a shared Dropbox account.
Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk
At this point I'll have owned and listened to the next Tool album for a calendar year and will still be wondering if it really exists.
At least Maynard is quick to shoot down these speculations. It's a harsh reminder that nothing's done and it's a tough pill to swallow, but I'd rather have bullshit like this snuffed immediately than hop on the speculation band wagon. Until Tool's website posts and confirms two things: Album title and release date, I won't believe anything that gets posted anywhere else.
If the track times are correct, that would mean the record is 158 mins, 24 secs. That's 2 jam-packed CD's.
New Tool: 2018 at the earliest. Anyone want to bet?
The Pot and Opiate videos: 2019, featuring a weird character wandering thru a weird world, populated by weird creatures doing weird things. How about suprising us and breaking new ground for once. I bet the new songs adam's working on are the same old drop d riffs. I love tool but they've become so predictable. That new 'section' of a song they've been playing does nothing for me. Its a fucking shame.

SYDNEY, April 4, 2013 /PRNewswire/ -- The threat of "peak data" and what that could mean for the way we connect and access essential services in the future, is the focus of a report released by CSIRO, Australia's national science agency.
SYDNEY, April 4, 2013 /PRNewswire/ -- The threat of "peak data" and what that could mean for the way we connect and access essential services in the future, is the focus of a report released by CSIRO, Australia's national science agency.
Director of CSIRO's Digital Productivity and Services Flagship Dr Ian Oppermann said wireless technology had been adopted at "breakneck pace" around the world.
"The data rates that people now expect from their mobile services are about a hundred times the amount we thought possible only two decades ago," Dr Oppermann said.
The report, World Without Wires, points out that wireless communications relies on the availability of radiofrequency spectrum. The spectrum has practical limits and more spectrum cannot be created so we are faced with a finite resource and growing demands to use it.
Today's technologies and infrastructure will be hard pressed to support further increases in demand, both in terms of speed and volume, for wireless data and services over the coming decades.
Many global cities are fast approaching the point of "peak data" - where user demand for wireless internet, telephony, and other services can no longer be fully accommodated by the available radiofrequency spectrum.
"Currently the useable spectrum is divided up and allocated to various uses, such as TV/radio broadcast, emergency services, and mobile phone communications for example.
"In the future, how spectrum is allocated may change and we can expect innovation to find new ways to make it more efficient but the underlying position is that spectrum is an increasingly rare resource," Dr Oppermann added.
"Some estimates suggest that spectrum demand will have almost tripled by 2020, and existing infrastructure will need to rapidly expand its currently available capacity if it's to meet this demand.
"With more and more essential services, including medical, education and government services, being delivered digitally and on mobile devices, finding a solution to 'peak data' will become ever more important into the future."
CSIRO's World Without Wires Report examines the role that ubiquitous access to high-speed wireless connectivity will play in enabling a range of future applications and social developments, including:
- The replacement of digital TV and telephony services by internet-based, personalised streaming services
- Widespread sensing technologies that optimise and improve almost every aspect of our daily lives
- The widespread use of wireless positioning technologies, from making driverless cars the norm to enhancing retail experiences through "virtual concierges"
- "tele-services" as the default model of service delivery for government and businesses, with education, healthcare and other public goods being delivered via private digital networks
- A radical improvement in the way existing wireless infrastructure accommodates ongoing growth in service demands, including smaller cells, smarter antennae, and beyond.
"Such developments will have a profound impact, constituting significant market opportunities, and a chance to deliver widespread public good from our wireless research and enterprise community," Dr Oppermann said.

Robbie Robinson is ready to fight his way back into the Chiefs' starting lineup on a regular basis and is eyeing Friday night's return showdown with his old Highlanders team as the stage to do it.
Robinson started the first six matches of the Super Rugby season for the Chiefs at fullback and made his mark with some scintillating attacking play.
But when his game went slightly off the boil, the coaches didn't hesitate to give Hawke's Bay's Andrew Horrell – originally selected as the backup five-eighth – his opportunity in South Africa against the Cheetahs.
Horrell was an instant hit in the 15 jersey and, with Robinson picking up calf and groin injuries at training, Horrell hung on to it for the next five games.
That meant Robinson had started the first six games and Horrell the next six, with Robinson getting back on the bench for the Reds match in Brisbane on May 13.
The Southlander finally got his break with a start in the match against the Blues at North Harbour Stadium four weeks ago when a badly bruised calf suffered by Horrell in the home fixture against the Bulls did not settle down in time. But there have been no games since with all teams taking a three-week break during the newly instituted international window where all three Sanzar nations hosted tours from northern hemisphere teams.
Just how keen is Robinson to play his second game against his old team this week, particularly having lost to them 23-19 first up?
"Big time. I've put my hand up. I got my first chance against the Blues and then a chance to show myself in the North-South [game in Dunedin] and last Wednesday when we played in Rotorua," Robinson said.
A minor setback was a a haematoma on his shoulder, which meant he could play only a limited part in training on Monday.
"But it's come right and I should be right back into it tomorrow," he said after that Monday session.
He scored two tries for North in their 39-24 loss to South, getting his pacy running game back under way.
"It was a good chance to get 80 under my belt and see how my fitness held up and my groin held up and I came through it the next day and I was sweet."
The Chiefs team to play in Dunedin will be named this afternoon and the fitness of All Black first-five Aaron Cruden could play a major part in whether Robinson, Horrell or both play. If Cruden is ruled out with his Achilles tendon problem, then Horrell would take his place and Robinson would likely play fullback. If Cruden is fit, it is a straight choice between Horrell and Robinson for the No15 jersey.

David Durk, 77, a New York police detective who with officer Frank Serpico shattered the infamous blue wall of silence to expose widespread corruption in the city's Police Department in the 1960s and '70s, died on Tuesday at his home in Putnam County, N.Y. An Amherst College graduate who studied law at Columbia University, Durk joined the Police Department in 1963. He imagined a life of public service, as he put it rosily years later, to help "an old lady walk the streets safely." But what he found was a culture of corruption: of officers and superiors taking payoffs from gamblers, drug dealers, merchants and mobsters for protection and information, like the names of informers they wanted to kill; of officers stealing and dealing drugs, riding shotgun for pushers and intimidating witnesses. And behind the corruption, he discovered, was a litany of unwritten rules amounting to a pervasive acceptance of the wrongdoing, even among those not on the take -- a code of silence, called the blue wall.
Durk refused to join in and became a pariah. While he was promoted to detective sergeant, he was shuttled among assignments, often just to get rid of him. In 1966, while attending classes for new plainclothes investigators, he met Serpico. He too had refused to take payoffs, and had been shunned -- and threatened -- by fellow officers.
Over the next few years they made their case to high-ranking police and City Hall officials but were rebuffed. Frustrated, they went to the New York Times. In a series of articles based on a six-month inquiry, David Burnham reported in 1970 that drug dealers, gamblers and merchants were making "illicit payments of millions of dollars a year to the policemen of New York."

Many businesses, small and large, are attempting to improve work design systems by incorporating a job rotation strategy. Job rotation exists when employees rotate across many positions, in varying intervals and durations, in order to gain exposure to different roles and functions. When implementing a job rotation program, companies can have employees rotate only within their home department or across positions in many departments. Although job rotation strategies may not be practical for all businesses, strategies that are implemented across lower-level and less specialized positions provide many advantages to businesses and employees.

When employees perform the same job functions each day without variation, they are likely to experience greater feelings of fatigue, apathy, boredom, and carelessness. Burnout is d
etrimental to businesses because it tends to promote decreased productivity, increased absenteeism, and increased likelihood of turnover, which all lead to organizational dysfunction.

Volvo introduced innovative job enrichment programs including job rotation. Volvo was one of the first automobile companies to deviate from the traditional assembly line system and adopt a more employee-centric approach for manufacturing automobiles. small work groups. EXAMPLES:- The case discusses the efforts made by the Swedish automobile major Volvo AB towards improving the work conditions at its facilities through job enrichment programs. These programs helped the company to understand the importance of designing its facilities according to the work design and employees' requirements.

Looking for C&C on a photo, please....
Oct 22, 2012
I took this shot at the end of a show I'm working on. The items and lighting etc are all as I found them after the curtain call as the audience files out.
Composition wise, I'm quite happy with it, but I think a couple of places look very grainy and flat; ie around the helmet just above the two swords.
So I want to check if this is normal, or if not, what I have done to cause it? Have I over-sharpened in Lightroom, for instance.
Any comments on that or any other aspect of the shot that can help me learn and improve will be gratefully received!

Ã'ðè áîãà òûðÿ íà äà ëüíèõ áåðåãà õ
We're not enjoying this season of "Dancing With The Stars" that much. Not because of the quality of the cast, which is more or less about the same as ever. Not because of what Nancy Grace may or may not have done on camera last week. No. Because after three weeks of predicting who will get booted from the show we've yet to get one wrong. So we pout.
You, meanwhile, may be having a grand old time watching Chaz Bono, J.R. Martinez, Ricki Lake and the like cavort around the ol' dance floor. And why shouldn't you? It's good silly fun for millions of viewers. So don't let a mopey TV writer get your all down. Have fun! Check out our slide show! And after the show tonight ends vote in our poll for the dancer you think did best!
Who knows? Maybe you'll even help us get our pick right on Tuesday morning.

Although it's not a genuine manual as such, it's a nicely bound book containing interesting history and layouts of the various classes of starship and is an interesting read if you've not got much Star Trek technical info already in your Trek collection. A few of these on a shelf would probably be an interesting talking point for some.
It isn't as highly detailed as the book I used to have, and it doesn't have incredible schematic diagrams, but it still contains lots of great pictures and information about the various spacecraft which have carried the name Enterprise. Whichever Enterprise is your favourite, you'll find full colour front, rear, and side views in here. There are facts on each of the ships along with images from some of the films.
As well as overviews of the ships, there are articles on various other Star Trek elements such as Warp Speed, Impulse Engines, and Defence Shields. The information is presented alongside illustrations so you can see where the hardware being discussed is located on the ships. It also provides write-ups on the role of the Bridge, Consoles, the Nacelles, etc - all things which are instantly familiar to even the most casual viewer of any Star Trek series or film.
I didn't realise until I saw the other reviews that this information is effectively a collective of articles from other sources, but if you haven't seen them before then this is an impressive overview of the ships and technology iconic to Star Trek. It might not have the level of detail as other available books, but it certainly isn't light on information.Read more ›
Overall a great, informative book that anyone who has only even seen one episode of Star Trek would enjoy.
Great information, diagrams and cutaways, Mr Scott would love this.
Very highly recommended, superb.
