Sorry about the spreadsheet, Sam; I accidentally made it read-only. Adam duplicated it and I've updated the link.
Also, if JJ is okay with it (which I'm sure he will be I just don't want to act on his behalf) my Saturday ticket could go to any Dtoid folk who haven't been able to get one. They're sold out now so I assume at least one person didn't get one.
Is he still over the pond?
If the Peter Molyneux session is anything like the one at rezzed, it'll be shite.
He was good at a BAFTA event I went to. I think it helped that he was on stage with Ian Livingstone who would call him out on bullshit he said.
I went to that, he was much, much better in that Q&A.
There you go then.
Also, I love the idea of seeing Kojima speak, but what's the reality of that going to be like? Some translator laughing at what he's saying, and then telling us what he said failing to make us laugh. When a translator gets involved, it's just awkward.
Update for the non-mailer folk:
Okay, so looking at the spreadsheet, the following people are looking for tickets.
StickTwiddlers: Gavin, Robert, Germany
Has everyone who paid more than the required £5 added other names to theirs? I know JJ has a spare now that Sam isn't in attendance; not sure if it's been offered out already.
Eurogamer: Mikey (all days). Is everyone else okay?
Seeing Looper: Lots of interest for this - are we able to pin down a day? I'm guessing it would be Sunday?
Food: Any further suggestions? Aidan's suggestion of Princi looks both awesome and affordable and the other suggestion appears to be Byron's. Please speak up if you have a preference for either: saying you're fine with whatever is actually less help than you think it is. We'll get a headcount and make a booking for Sunday afternoon, yeah?
Drinks: I'll book a couple of tables for B@1 on Sunday. I know we normally do Soho, but Hammersmith is closer and cheaper by £2 a cocktail. It's a nice branch too and probably roomier. Though if we eat at Soho, we might as well stay in the area.
Any further advances on Friday night? I think we've all but ruled out expensive shenanigans. Chandos or similar seems to be the consensus. Pipe up!
Thanks for all the input, guys!
I can add one person to my donation for the StickTwiddlers party too.
Saw your email; ta, Seb. As JJ donated £20, I think we should be okay covering the other three people that I know of. If any others pop out of the woodwork, I'll send them in your direction!
StickTwiddlers posted an FAQ with entertainment listed. Seems it'll be the same as last year except for a few poor souls promoting Resident Evil 6 or whatever.
Le edit: god dammit JJ.
Don't mess with the best.
It's weird how small their readerbase and community is compared to how much they get and the events they put on like this. Like they got 250 War of the Roses beta keys last week compared to the 50 Destructoid got. Brits got swag.
Destructoid doesn't give out free alcohol in Ripoff London.
I bet Kotaku get trucks of free champagne.
Wouldn't mind one of those to myself.
I'd take my time!

Former colonial power Belgium on Sunday welcomed a regional deal aimed at bringing peace and stability to long troubled eastern Democratic Republic of Congo.
"This agreement provides an excellent working basis to relaunch the joint efforts of the DRC, the region and the international community towards a longterm solution to the crisis in the Congolese east," said Foreign Minister Didier Reynders.
The deal was signed by 11 nations in the Great Lakes region -- including those accused of stoking trouble by backing rebel groups -- at a ceremony in the Ethiopian capital Addis Ababa in the presence of UN chief Ban Ki-moon.
Reynders in his statement thanked Ban for his "personal involvement" and urged the quick nomination of a special envoy.
The accord also plans to reinforce a UN-led mission to combat rebels after years of unrest.
Reynders said Belgium was ready to back all the efforts "notably through an active participation and contribution to the follow-up mechanisms."

The Other German in U.S. Books
By DOREEN CARVAJAL
Published: April 20, 1998
Three years ago, Michael Naumann emigrated from his native Germany to the American republic of letters, a perilous and sometimes unforgiving land. Here he learned certain harsh cultural lessons as the new and mercurial head of the century-old literary publishing house of Henry Holt & Company.
When his reclusive marquee author, Thomas Pynchon, failed to electrify the National Book Awards judges with the prose of ''Mason & Dixon,'' Mr. Naumann coped with culture shock by boycotting the annual awards ceremony and mockingly declaring his pride in the label ''sore loser.''
And when the popular author Gloria Naylor failed to dazzle Mr. Naumann with her latest manuscript -- a follow to her best seller ''The Women of Brewster Place'' -- Mr. Naumann canceled her contract for an advance estimated at more than $900,000 and a rival house snapped up the author three days later. This rare move inspired two not-necessarily competing theories: Mr. Naumann had boldly scorned the work as substandard, or Henry Holt had financial difficulties.
''I had hoped for a less tempestuous time,'' Mr. Naumann, 56, said of his shift here from the more genteel world of German publishing where for 10 years he headed one of the largest publishing firms, Rowohlt Verlag. ''Coming here has been like graduating from a little day sailor to a 30-foot sloop and, alas, running into the perfect storm.''
These have been tumultuous times for Mr. Naumann, partly because of the general climate over the last two years for the industry, which has struggled with a downturn in sales of hard-cover books and heavy returns of unsold copies from booksellers.
But also because Mr. Naumann has rapidly sought to raise the profile of the thoroughly respectable publishing house with pricey contracts with prominent authors like Salman Rushdie and through his own blunt candor, which has occasionally ruffled the pages of some rival American book publishers and former employees who complain that he does not understand his adopted culture given his spending levels and sales history.
In some respects, he is one of the most visible literary ambassadors of the other Germans in American publishing, Verlagsgruppe Georg von Holtzbrinck, the media conglomerate that has been vastly overshadowed by Bertelsmann's recent purchase of Random House. But this is a diplomat who doesn't mince his English.
''In America, publishers could be five feet under water and people would pretend that they're breathing freely,'' Mr. Naumann said of other publishers whom he characterizes as preferring to talk in polite fiction about the state of the industry. His helm is on the sixth floor of 115 West 18th Street, on the edge of Greenwich Village, where his spacious office is wallpapered with books, photographs, framed German poetry and an original lithograph of a World War I victory poster emblazoned with the simple message: invest.
Officially, Mr. Nauman became the chief executive of Henry Holt two years ago, although he arrived earlier to start a new imprint for the company while commuting between posts in New York and Germany. But in the short time he has been here, it is striking how much the company has come to reflect him.
Mr. Naumann estimates that the 136-person staff has turned over by almost 75 percent, which is partly the result of revamping to focus on trade publishing, shedding divisions that published reference and computer books. And with his dark, round eyes and professorial spectacles, he has even come to look like the house mascot for the company's trade paperback line.
Henry Holt was founded in 1866 when New York was solidifying its dominance as the nation's cultural hub of publishing. Today it is one of three American publishing houses owned by the privately held Holtzbrinck.
In the words of the chairman, Dieter von Holtzbrinck, the corporation's American publishing houses are members of a ''federalistic system'' that encourages various publishers to compete against one another editorially although the companies share back office functions like distribution in a new $30 million warehouse in Gordonsville, Va.
But various publishers have interpreted their roles differently, and among the Holtzbrinck properties here -- including Farrar, Straus & Giroux and St. Martin's Press -- Henry Holt and its chief executive, Mr. Naumann, have adopted this philosophy with missionary zeal.
Occasionally, Mr. Naumann vies for the same writers at auctions that include other Holtzbrinck publishers. And he hired a former editor from Farrar Straus & Giroux who wooed away several of their writers, like Barbara Ehrenreich -- fittingly, the author of ''Blood Rites: Origins and History of the Passion of War.''
Such forays, not surprisingly, have led to some corporate tensions. ''Roger handled it in his own inimical way,'' Mr. Naumann said of Roger Straus, the founder and president of Farrar, Straus, who is known for his salty and often undiplomatic observations, although in this case he declined to comment.

After installing the plugin, I found the menu to create the food menu right away, so a plus point for that. However, after I created a menu entry, I had to return to the WordPress.org plugin page to figure out what to do next. I then used the shortcode and because the shortcode didn't appear on the page, I assume the plugin did execute the function associated with the shortcode but no content was displayed. Perhaps the plugin targeted a different version, but for me, on WordPress 3.5.1, it didn't seem to work as intended (or perhaps it is meant to be used differently?).

Big and bold yet so ever so sophisticated in both style and design, this amethyst and diamond ring is meant to be seen. A 4.50 carat amethyst is the center of attention surrounded by the sparkling spotlights of .10 ct. t.w. of diamonds. The eye-catching setting is further enhanced by the cool sheen of sterling silver for a look that can't be missed. Size 7.Product Features:

Comments about BJs Wholesale Club 4.50 Carat Amethyst and .10 ct. t.w. Diamond Cocktail Ring in Sterling Silver:
I received this from my spouse as a Christmas gift. I saw in a local warehouse and had to have it. I've been looking for an amethyst ring that I could wear as an engagement ring for many, many years and I minute I saw it I knew it was just what I was looking for. The amethyst itself is a beautiful shade of medium/deep purple; it's cut so that in sunlight it has a sparkle. I wear it as an engagement ring between two eternity bands. It looks really lovely and I get lots of compliments on its attractiveness. At four carats it's a BIG stone and may be too much for someone with really petite hands. It also sits high on the hand so if you work a lot with your hands it may not be a ring you could wear 24/7. I take it off if I'm doing anything where I could bang it on something. It's easy to clean with a little jewelry cleaner and I polish it with a silver cleaning cloth every few weeks and it looks good as new. I think I may buy another to keep as a back-up, just in case I do something dumb and lose it.
Bottom Line Yes, I would recommend this to a friend

Research Institution:
AbstractFuture particle physics experiments at the high energy frontier, such as LHC, HL-LHC, ILC, CLIC or Multi-TeV Muon Collider, will all require silicon detectors capable of reconstructing charged particle trajectories with high accuracy in the presence of significant high occupancy. These experiments will impose stringent demands on the data links to transfer the data from the silicon detector to the data acquisition system, either just for readout purposes or for triggering purposes, or both. The large amounts of data required from silicon detectors in these experiments require large parallel or very high- speed serial data links, which become cumbersome and physically impractical in large detector arrays. To address this requirement, this project will develop a high-speed (10Gb/s), low-power, radiation-tolerant optical link using external optical modulators for trigger and data extraction. Commercial Applications and Other Benefits: The development of this optical link will have potential commercial benefits for high-speed backplane and databus applications in high-speed or massively parallel computing. The market impact could be significant for both data centers and high-speed networks

I'd been on the lookout for a good grid theme for ages, but nothing seemed to do exactly what I wanted. Also I love Picasa, and wanted a way to incorporate it into WordPress.
So after a google search the other day, I found this plugin. The site now seems to do exactly what I want (well, almost). I like how the thumbnails show the image at the correct dimensions with no cropping.
This is excellent for art sites where you want the visitor to view the whole picture in the thumbnail, not matter whether it is landscape, portrait, long and thin, or square.
And to top it all off, I can use Picasa on my computer to update the albums that appear on the WordPress site. This is brilliant. This is going to save so much time.

"Flatts Village ~ Bermuda Aquarium Museum & Zoo" Top 5 Page for this destination BAMZ - Flatts Village Tip by starship
BAMZ - Flatts Village, Bermuda: 5 reviews and 18 photos
On the first day in Bermuda on our most recent visit in April, 2013, I convinced my husband to take the bus from Hamilton to Flatts Village to visit the Bermuda Aquarium & Zoo; this jaunt took the better part of a 1/2 hour.
At the entrance you walk immediately into the aquarium section which is quite nice as it features local fish and underwater life, such as the "sea puddings," many of which we saw during our glass bottom boat excursion. I was able to get one nice photo of a small shark. Other inside exhibits which showed native birds and animals in their local habitat were interesting and one excellent feature made them all even better --- when near any particular "teaching" exhibit, you usually came to stand under a clear, plexi-glass dome and this motion triggered recorded sounds made by those particular animals or birds plus environmental sounds such as the sea waves, wind blowing, sea grass rustling, etc.
I was a little disappointed in the number of furry zoo inhabitants we were seeing until one thing happened .... the pictured little Golden Lion Tamarin monkey ran up to us!!! He lived in the one or two sections which had aviary-type enclosures keeping animals in but giving them natural habitats --- natural light, vegetation, fresh air and trees for climbing and sleeping in. You can't imagine how badly I wished I had a piece of fruit to feed him/her even though signs everywhere veritably screamed, "Don't feed the animals!" He climbed on top of the sign and waited patiently until he realized no food would be forthcoming and subsequently went off to hunt for his meal on the shaded ground. Another little Golden Lion Tamarin was sleeping in the trees just beyond. This was nearly worth the trip alone. But as we were visiting just around noon, we found a lot of the animals were sleeping or had been removed from their exhibit ... too bad for us.
We went on to see an enormous crocodile, scarlet ibis, huge tortoises, a few seals, but not too much more. What really "vexed" me were the children who were allowed to run loose who screamed at and taunted the animals!! I'd had enough!! Still the Bermuda Aquarium, Museum & Zoo which was founded in 1926 is worthwhile and its mission of inspiring appreciation and care of island environments is a worthy one. I didn't mind spending the money to visit which helps to keep an institution like this one running.
2013 Admission prices: $10 for adults; $5 for senior (65+) & children 5-15 yrs. old
Children under 5 - FREE.
The Bermuda Aquarium, Museum & Zoo is open daily 9 a.m. to 5 p.m. except Christmas Day. Last admission is 4 p.m.
There is a nice gift shop and small cafe.
Address: 40 North Shore Road, Flatts Village

Phone : 718-862-3843
Office : LEO 413
PHD, University of Chicago
BS, St. Norbert College
- I have a long-standing involvement in secondary school science curriculum development, especially the Advanced Placement Biology program.
- For 20 years, I served in various capacities as part of the AP Biology Reading. On two occasions, as a Question Leader, I had overall responsibility for setting the grading standards for one of the four free-response questions on that year's exam, and I had oversight responsibility for the scoring of that question. This extended to over 85,000 exams for each of those two years.
- From 1987-2014, I planned and led AP Biology workshops at College Board-sponsored AP Summer Institutes (APSIs) at Manhattan College, LaSalle University, and Mahopac High School. Over 1,000 AP Biology teachers were trained at these APSIs.
- I have served as a consultant to the College Board for AP Biology since 1987-present.
- I was the recipient of the Advanced Placement Recognition Award, which was conferred by the Middle States Regional Assembly of the College Board in 1996.
- I have recently become involved in biodiversity assessment and habitat mapping in the Hudson Valley as part of a training program underwritten by the Hudson River Estuary Program (HREP) of the NYS Department of Environmental Conservation (NYSDEC) (http://www.dec.ny.gov/lands/4920.html).
- I have studied the biosynthesis and the action of sesquiterpenoid stress metabolites (SSMs) in plants of the Solanaceae. Potato tubers (Solanum tuberosum) produce SSMs, such as phytuberin, lubimin, and rishitin, in response to infection by the late-blight fungus Phytophthora infestans. These SSMs possess anti-microbial activity; thus, they may function as phytoalexins. I discovered that controlled atmospheres containing ethylene and oxygen (E/O2) amplify the levels of these SSMs in infected potato tubers. Additionally, heretofore unidentified SSMs also increase in concentration in response to E/O2. I exploited this amplified physiological response to isolate and characterize a previously uncharacterized SSM, which was identified as acetyldehydrorishitinol (summary of most recent paper, published in the journal Phytochemistry).

Show transcribed image text In a series-parallel circuit, if e = 50 V 20degree and i = 25 A 20degree, then the total impedance ZT is purely resistive. Increasing positive angles of a phasor move clockwise from the reference point. The more reactive the load, the lower the power factor. The voltage across an inductor leads the current through it by 90degree. The derivative of a sine wave is a cosine wave. For an inductor the voltage Lags the current through it by 90 degrees. A power factor of 1 indicates that maximum power is being delivered. Inductive reactance does not dissipate electrical energy. The heavier the current flow for a given voltage, the larger the value for admittance. Impedance is the combination of capacitive reactance, inductive reactance, and dc resistance. Inductive reactance is plotted on the negative imaginary axis on an impedance diagram.

"Providing a historical perspective on the standards and regulations that got us and keep us on the course toward sprawl and unsustainable development, along with earlier attempts at reform, the book makes a strong case for Sustainable Urbanism, showing how architects and urban designers need to shape the built environment for the benefit of both humans and nature." (APADE, 2009)
"A masterpiece, it combines good writing with a thorough treatment of the subject." (The Bernard Place Bee Line, 4/22/08)
"It's not immediately obvious how Doug Farr's new book differs from the many other books in this field, aside from having a laudatory preface by Andres Duany. His careful division of the case studies into built greenfield, unbuilt greenfield, built infill, and unbuilt infill, should be a clue. It's also nice that he offiers a fairly specific definition of the s-word. Farr's book is distinguished by his systematic determination to reveal the trade secrets of sustainable design-those rules of thumb that bridge the gap between woolly generalities and highly specific case studies." (BuildingCommunities.com, February 1, 2008)
"A broadly-focused and solutions-based look at environmentally sustainable urban design. Case studies and essays written by Farr and others give a real-world context to the ideas and methods espoused in this ambitious argument on behalf of a new type urban design and development that is interrelated with nature." (Planetizen.com; 1/29/08)
"The author of Sustainable Urbanism wants to break down barriers between nature-focused environmentalists and human-focused urbanists. The book asserts that we need a radical change in how we live, not just for the health of our planet, but for ourselves. The author's ambitious goal is to make sustainable urbanism the dominant pattern of human settlement by 2030. This book is a valuable resource for anyone that is in a position to advance a more organic way of life that is more in tune with the environment." (Vector 1 Magazine, January 6, 2008)
"Sustainable Urbanism is important because it addresses the sustainable development issue from all sides and provides solutions across the vast array of disciplines that create the built environment. The book…should be a resource not just for developers...but also for city councils, mayors, governors, engineers, and voters." (Urban Land, 1/08)
"Beyond just developing a concept, however, the book acts as a comprehensive how-to manual for anyone who helps shape the environment...after setting the stage with a compelling case for sustainable urbanism, Farr provides specific and detailed standards and steps to guide readers." (Environmental News Network, 12/21/07)
"There is something for everyone in Sustainable Urbanism, the new book that tackles exactly what the title implies. Backed by an impressive range of research, tables, charts, it is a comprehensive look at how to make our development pattern more sustainable." (Joe Urban Blog, 12/07)
"Chicago architect Douglas Farr is no Le Corbusier--Who is?--yet his thoughtful new book is propelled by the same sort of visionary energy and desire to integrate architecture, city planning and nature for a better way of life. Here's the twist: Whereas Le Corbusier celebrated the car, Farr fingers it as a prime factor in creating today's sprawling, auto-dependent suburbs and all the lifestyle woes, like rising levels of obesity, they've supposedly wrought. While that's a familiar rant from the New Urbanist architects who call for compact, walkable communities, Farr wisely goes beyond them, urging a grand integration of the New Urbanism and the fledgling green building movement." (Chicago Tribune, December 2007)
"What makes his volume stand out is that it combines expertise in New Urbanism with a thorough understanding of environmental issues and techniques. The result is the most comprehensive, technically informed volume available on how to design and build places that are environmentally responsible and also gratifying to inhabit." (New Urban News, December 2007)
"makes excellent use of physical case studies, it is also concerned with the intangible forces that shape our cities…" (Building Design, Friday 15th February 2008)
From the Back Cover
"This book celebrates the magical power of design and of an emerging pattern of human settlement—Sustainable Urbanism—that holds the promise of strengthening the interdependence of all life on earth. . . . This book is a strategic call for leadership in the design and development of the places where Americans live, work, and play."
—From the Preface
Written by the chair of the U.S. Green Building Council's LEED for Neighborhood Development (LEED-ND) Core Committee, Sustainable Urbanism: Urban Design with Nature is both an urgent call to action and a comprehensive introduction to "Sustainable Urbanism"—the growing sustainable design convergence that integrates walkable and diverse places with high-performance infrastructure and buildings.
Providing a historical perspective on the standards and regulations that got us and keep us on the course toward sprawl and unsustainable development, along with earlier attempts at reform, Douglas Farr makes a powerful case for Sustainable Urbanism, showing how architects and urban designers need to shape the built environment for the benefit of both humans and nature. He then explains how to implement Sustainable Urbanism in cities, towns, and neighbor-hoods through coordinated leadership and communication. Essays written by Farr and others delve into such issues as:
Increasing sustainability through density
Integrating transportation and land use in an auto-dependent era
Creating sustainable neighborhoods with walk-to-work neighborhood centers of locally owned businesses, share cars on every block, and walkable neighborhoods
The health and environmental benefits of linking humans to nature, including walk-to open spaces, neighborhood stormwater systems and waste treatment, and food production
High-performance buildings and neighborhood-scale infrastructure including district energy systems
Enriching the argument are in-depth case studies in Sustainable Urbanism, from BedZED in London, England, and Newington in Sydney, Australia, to New Railroad Square in Santa Rosa, California, and Dongtan, Shanghai, China. An epilogue looks to the future of Sustainable Urbanism over the next 200 years.
At once solidly researched and passionately argued, Sustainable Urbanism is the ideal guidebook for urban designers, planners, and architects who are eager to make a positive impact on our—and our descendants'—buildings, cities, and lives.

\it is something that the Arsenal fans have become used to over the years and so I was not really surprised to hear the former Man United, Everton and England midfielder Phil Neville come out with his daft comments about Tomas Rosicky on last night's Match of the Day. Not surprised but a bit saddened and I feel the need to pick him up on it.
Tag Archives: Brighton
Did Szczesny do enough to save his Arsenal career?
I suggested before Arsenal travelled to Brighton for the 4th round of the FA cup yesterday that the game was a great chance for Wojciech Szczesny to lay down a marker and prove to Arsene Wenger that he should still be the first choice keeper for the Gunners.
Why FA cup draw would be GOOD result for Arsenal
Arsene Wenger and the Arsenal players will obviously be heading to Brighton today with the idea of beating the Championship side Brighton and booking the Gunners a place in the fifth round of the FA cup. I am not suggesting that we `play for a draw` by any means.
Pick your Arsenal team to beat Brighton
Arsenal v Brighton & Hove Albion – Team prediction by Moh
Wenger thinks Arsenal can STILL improve even further
Arsenal are preparing to face Brighton in defence of our FA Cup, and if the Gunners play as well as they did at Man City last week then this game will be just a formality. Many people have described our performance at the Etihad as "perfect" but Arsene Wenger is convinced that Arsenal can still improve on that performance.
Cazorla – Arsenal aiming to win the FA Cup AGAIN
Our very own Spanish magician Santiago Cazorla is preparing to face lowly Brighton in Sundays FA Cup Fourth-round tie this weekend, but he is not only thinking about getting in the fraw for the ext round, he wants to see Arsenal go on to lift the trophy at Wembley again.
How Arsenal's FA cup opponents fared last night
Arsenal will play host to Blackburn Rovers on Saturday, with the winners getting a place in the quarter finals of the FA cup. For Arsenal, with an extremely difficult double header in the Champions league against Bayern Munich, this competition surely represents the best chance of finally adding another piece of silverware to the Emirates' trophy cabinet.
Giroud begins to fill van Persie's boots at Arsenal
I know that lots of Arsenal fans will disagree with me when I say that Olivier Giroud is starting to grow into his role at the club and even starting to replace Robin van Persie. Some will point to games earlier in the season and chances that he has missed. As recently as the FA cup match against Swansea at the Emirates he was guilty of squandering chances, but so was Theo Walcott on the night.

Oh....my god.
Moderately less contrived than Jurassic Park 3. A+++++++ WOULD WATCH AGAIN
same old stuff
should keep gay men away from this, it is too oh, oh oh oh oh oh ...
how do you cuddle with these guys
...And now I have seen pterodactyl porn.
Someone showed this to me about a year ago. I laughed and laughed and laughed.
All I want to know is which US Senators are in those costumes?
Sid and Marty Kroft do porn!
The terrorists won.
Is it the pterodactyl cock that's causing that woman to make those weird noises, or do women really make those noises when they have sex?
how does one find a video like this?
...by doing a search for pterodactle (or however the fuck its spelled?)
is she having anal sex with a dinosaur?
suddenly I don't feel so old. if a pterawhatever gets some, i certainly can...
I think I speak for all the straight males at The Stranger when I say, "HOT!" Right guys? Right?! Fucking tasty.
Okay, not really. That's just weird.
My favorite recent (?) porn trend, though, has to be the cock-through-the-pizza genre. Pizza delivery guy comes to the door, sits down, opens the pizza box, and there's his wang sticking through a hole in the middle of the pie! Then the girl gives him head, while he continues to "wear" the pizza. Genius!
Any pizza delivery guys out there tried this angle? It seems to work every time.
So, how did Ben N. come across this gem?
Right in front of the baby Pterodactyl. Do they have no decency?
@11: The Internet.
What? Just...WHAT?
That's the last time I check Slog first thing in the morning.
Also, I wanted to smack her in the mouth to get her to shut up. My god, that was annoying.
But...baby pterodactyls? My mind is spinning right now...gonna go watch some non-dinosaur porn to get things back to normal...
Hi, I'm Ben's wife. And uh, I'm the one who suggested he send this to the Stranger, after seeing it last night and having our chests hurt from laughing so hard.
So, you're welcome.
Or I'm sorry, whichever one fits your current feelings towards this.
This is actually from the extras disc for Land of the Lost.
that exact same thing happened to me the last time i went to neighbours.
Wow, the Christo-Fascists were right, dinosaurs did walk the earth with people! But no wonder they went extinct, they stopped mating with their own kind.
man, she really makes a racket.
That director forgot porn is supposed to be arousing. That's a little too PCP-freakout to be boner-inducing.
I aggree with 21, this just reminds me of a bad acid trip.
For some reason it didn't work for me and I had to find it here:
Chuckles at the beginning while the two guys remember that they should be flapping their wings. I wonder if they forgot because they realized what they were doing for a sec.
A broke down laughing when it cuts to the lower angle and the puppet comes into frame on the left. Was the guys manning the puppet trying to be sexy, or did he know it was going to be genius?
I want more!
Wow. That was...gross. And strange. And noisy.
I wonder, where does one acquire such a get-up?
Oh, by the way:
I have no idea how I should feel about having seen that clip several months ago.

Product Description
We have now reached a tipping point--the spread of Islam is rapidly altering the way we live. These changes are cause for alarm, for they endanger our freedoms of speech and religion.
At the same time, this opens an incredible door of ministry for Christians, for Muslims normally do not have access to the gospel in their own lands.
In The Cross in the Shadow of the Crescent, readers will discover helpful answers to these questions and more:
- How does Islam's growing influence affect me personally?
- In what ways are our freedoms of speech and religion in danger?
- How can I extend Christ's love to Muslims around me?

It is a must read for every Christian to really understand the spiritual warfare that is happening against Christianity. Until recent years, the average American Christian was not informed of the threat against our Christian and civil freedoms posed by the Muslim faith. It is a must read to propel Christians to prevail in prayer against this long standing spiritual opposition to the Christian faith. Great Book!

Typically, after your water breaks at term labor soon follows — if it hasn't already begun.
Sometimes, however, there's a delay. If you experience premature rupture of membranes, your doctor might stimulate uterine contractions before labor begins on its own (labor induction). The longer it takes for labor to start after your water breaks, the greater the risk of you or your baby developing an infection.
If your water breaks before the 37th week of pregnancy, it's known as preterm premature rupture of membranes (preterm PROM). Risk factors for water breaking too early include:
If your water breaks too early, your health care provider will evaluate you and your baby. It's sometimes possible to extend pregnancy for a short time after the membranes rupture, but generally there's no turning back. Most women who have preterm premature rupture of membranes deliver within one week of their water breaking.
Potential complications include maternal or fetal infection, placental abruption — when the placenta peels away from the inner wall of the uterus before delivery — and umbilical cord problems. The baby is also at risk of complications due to premature birth.
If your health care provider believes the amniotic sac should be opened during active labor — when your cervix is at least partially dilated and the baby's head is deep in your pelvis — he or she might use a technique known as an amniotomy to rupture the membranes. During the amniotomy, a thin plastic hook is used to make a small opening in the amniotic sac. The procedure might cause some discomfort.
If you don't go into labor on your own, your health care provider might do an amniotomy as part of a planned induction to encourage labor to begin.
It's natural to feel anxious about labor and delivery. Try to relax. While you might not be able to predict when your water will break, you can take comfort in your knowledge about the next steps.

I have done considerable reading on both Node.js and Backbone.js; I've read some tutorials and done the relevant courses on Code School. I feel that I've got a pretty good idea of the functions that each technology serves in the context of a web application.
My problem is that I don't really know how to integrate the two technologies and use them in tandem. I would really appreciate if someone could point me to a resource which goes through the entire development of an application using Node, MongoDB, and Backbone together.
Many thanks

I've set up a web server on OS X Mountain Lion (not the server version) what is working perfectly. The problem I am having is that if I edit a PHP file in the server document directory from another machine on the network then it's permissions are altered such that Apache can no longer read the file and I have to go back to the server and alter the files permissions. I've spent a couple of days trying to fix this but have so far failed.
I'm using PHP Storm on the Windows client machine and have set up ACL's on the server. I believe the problem may be that - when I save the file in PHP Storm - it creates a temporary file then deletes the old one and renames the temp file.
Can anyone help as this is getting frustrating.

Released: Sep 01st, 1995
Running Time: 75
Director: Scotty Fox
Company: Legend Video
Cast: Felecia, Tony Tedeschi, Holly Body, Stacey Nichols, Dallas (I), Chaz (I), Sid Deuce, Alec
Critical Rating: AA 1/2
Genre: Feature
As happens quite often in a mainstream slasher film, the most interesting character gets bumped off before the second reel.
So it happens in Killer Tits when Tony Tedeschi, an obnoxious strip club comic, gets it up the ass a six times with a hunting knife -- even so, Tedeschi manages two sex scenes, one with Dallas, as if missionary is the only position available; and one with Holly Body, who seems to be making anal sex her dramatic statement.
"Everything seems to point to murder," intones the investigating cop whom I'm at a loss to identify, this being one of those features where screen credits and cast have a dangling factor or two in the equation. Unless Brick Majors grew a ton of hair overnight and gained 40 pounds, he's incorrectly listed, but someone matching the description pairs off with stripper Stacey Nichols in one of a series of couplings that are like a Subway sandwich -- a lot of lettuce and no meat.
Dallas, who's accused of the murder, shares cell time with Felecia and is eventually acquitted. Not that it's giving away anything, since this is murder (and sex) most facile.

How old should kids be before starting a blog?
Should kids even have their own blogs?
What should kids blog about?
How should kids even set up a blog?
Is blogging safe for kids?
Maddy has been asking me to help her start her own blog for months now.
Months and months and months and months.
And just like the awful parent I was when she asked me to let her join the dive team five years ago, I gave her the Um, well. . . let's just think about it a little, okay, sweetheart?
Dive team meant early–early!–practices and lots more on our summertime to-do list. It meant schlepping Owen and Cora around the town even more than we already did.
After a year or so of asking, I signed her up.
Now? Dive team has come to mean year-round training and has become one of Maddy's–and Owen and Cora's–most coveted activities.
Who knows if the situation will be the same with Maddy's blogging, but after asking and asking and asking, we've finally got her all set up with her own blog. After all, blogging does get kids reading, writing, thinking and creating. So we thought we'd give it a go.
She's ten, and she's blogging.
Here's the skinny. . .
- Help Kids Start a Blog–Get Them Reading, Writing, Thinking, and Creating:
You can totally use any device for blog writing, but Maddy has really stuck with our Acer C720P Chromebook.
This spring we were asked to try out the Acer C720P Chromebook, and so far, my kids love it.
It's small, it's quick, and it's light. And? It's touchscreen which makes it a cool combination of a laptop and tablet. It's a paired down version of our Intel AIO–which they also totally love–but which isn't as portable as the Chromebook.
Anyway, here's how I helped Maddy start a blog. . .
1. We looked at examples of strong blogs. I've talked about the importance of modeling before, and with blog writing, it's no different. The best advice I can give to parents with kids who want to blog is to start a blog themselves.
The big thing with student blogs is that the turnover rate is super-high. Kids are busy. It's hard for them to keep up with things, so it's hard to keep up with blogging.
There are a few great ones to look at as examples, though:
- Call Me Hannah
- One Kid's Life
- They Call me T
- Tolly Dolly Posh Fashion
- Kristin and Kayla
- For the Kids: Weblog of Elliot Mast
- Explore With Spunk
- Balsamic Camel
- Treehouse City
- The Crazy Cool Life of Miss Bossy & Miss Glossy
We also looked at this blog (ours, teachmama.com) and we looked at some of my good friends' blogs. These are the women whom Maddy has grown to know over the last few years and whose children have become her good pals:
- Justice Fergie: Life is the Party
- Tech Savvy Mama
- A Parent in Silver Spring/ A Parent in America
- Teen Lit Rocks
- Live Do Grow
- Pink and Green Mama
We talked about how these blogs were alike and different, how they covered different 'niches' and how they used things like layout, text, and photos.
2. She and I sat down and filled out the blog brainstorm teachmama.com.
I created this handy little packet for a blog writing workshop I led at Digital Family Summit last year, and I have honestly handed it to a ton of friends and family members.
blog brainstorm teachmama.com.
Essentially, it's a quick guide for people who want to start a blog.
It has people reflect on a few blog-focus questions:
- What do you do in your spare time?
- What do you know a lot about?
- How can you help others with your blog?
And it covers some logistical and safety questions as well:
- Who will read your blog?
- Do you want to include your name? personal photos? your location?
- What adult will support you in your blog writing?
These questions are ones that the family should answer together, especially if your child is 13 or younger. Every family is different, so every family's decisions will be different.
The blog brainstorm sheet also includes an empty calendar so soon-t0-be-bloggers can start an editorial calendar and a sheet filled with thought-provoking questions and topics which will (hopefully) help with blog writing.
If you want to download it and use it, go right ahead: blog brainstorm teachmama.com.dfs
Please, if you use it and share it (yay and thank you!) I'd appreciate if you shared from this blog post and not the pdf itself. Thank you!
3.We went to wordpress.com to set up her site.
Though this little bloggy blog here started on blogger.com, I've since moved to wordpress.org and am much more familiar with this platform.
I knew that if Maddy really began to take her blog seriously, we could quickly and easily move her from wordpress.com to wordpress.org. Though there are differences between wordpress.com and wordpress.org, essentially blogs on wordpress.org are self-hosted so you end up maintaining more control over content and design.
And, even though wordpress.com's Terms of Service clearly outline that users must be at least 13 years of age, I registered the blog under my own account. That means that I will always have editing control over Maddy's posts, photos, and content.
Other sites that are worth checking out for hosting kid blogs:
- edublogs.com: no age limits with terms of service because it's designed for students
- kidblog.com: great for a classroom or very large family
- Edmodo.com: incredible for connecting students in a class
If you know what you're doing and want to head straight to buying your own domain name, try GoDaddy.com.
You may want to show your kiddos the video below from Edublogs:
4. She started designing, writing, and creating.
We've explored and played and created on picmonkey, which is the platform I use to create all of my photos. It's easy. It's intuitive. It's fun for kids. (And adults.)
And that's that. I have always been right there, helping her upload photos and talking her through decisions, but really, she's done it all on her own from there. She goes in waves, like most kids with most things.
One month she'll be nuts writing, taking photos and writing posts. Other times, she lets it go for a few weeks.
I have a feeling this summer will be a blog-busy one for one 10-year old in our house–which is fine with me!
Having second thoughts? Want a few beginner steps for your digital kid before they take on the blog? Check out:
- kids and texting
- kids' reviews: speaking, listening, and planning
- online safety for families
- family media agreement
- tech-healthy family
- screen time cards

Annual Fall Retreat
This event has now ended. Please view this page to see all our upcoming events.
We kick off every school year with a retreat for Regent students, staff, faculty, and their families at Warm Beach Camp in Stanwood, Washington. This weekend away provides opportunities for the whole school to feast, connect, celebrate, play, and rest
The retreat includes:
- Three main worship gatherings
- A facilitated group opportunity to meet the faculty
- Saturday evening variety show
- Ceilidh dance
- Children's program
Warm Beach is in Washington State, USA, about 2.5 hours south of Vancouver, by car (about 195 kilometers or 120 miles).
International students should plan in advance for the border crossing. Read about visas in the Border Crossing Info below or contact the Assistant Dean of Students at firstname.lastname@example.com for more information.
Important: International Students MUST pre-arrange $6 in USD cash or by credit card to be paid at the border. This is easily obtainable at any of the banks on campus or around Vancouver.
You can coordinate your own transportation, or take a charter bus from Regent to Warm Beach. The charter bus speeds up border crossings, is more environmentally friendly, and offers an opportunity to connect with other students and families from the Regent community.
Cost of round-trip bus tickets:
$25 for adults,
$10 for the first child, age 3–18.
Additional children and children age 3 or younger ride free.
When you register online, make sure to check the box indicating which mode of transportation you plan to use. Buses leave Regent at 12:30pm and 2:00pm, but please be there 30 minutes prior to departure. You can purchase your bus ticket(s) when you pay for the retreat. Please provide your passport number and contact number for the travel day.
Accommodation and costs
Accommodations vary in price according to type and individual status (student, spouse, child). Prices range from $38 upwards and all prices include 2 nights' accommodation and 6 meals. Details of costs will be available online and at the registration table during the first week of class.
If you are a married couple with no children, the best option (aside from tenting) would be to choose the Cascadian Lodge. If you are married with children, the Mt. Baker Cabins are more ideal for small families with younger children.
What to bring
- Passport
- $6 USD cash (or credit card) for international student border crossing
- Sleeping bag, linens, and pillow
- Toiletries
- Warm clothes (Warm Beach gets quite cold at night)
- Rainproof coat and shoes
- Flashlight
- Towel
- Coffee/tea mug (to reduce use of Styrofoam)
- Swimsuit
- Hiking Boots/Athletic Shoes
- Money for special activities
- Necessary food/dietary items for all dietary requirements (however, vegetarian and vegan options will be available)
Border crossing info
Canadians and Americans:
The American and Canadian governments require that everyone crossing the border must have one of the following: valid passport, NEXUS card, FAST card, or Enhanced Driver's License. A birth certificate alongside other government-issued photo ID (e.g. normal driver's license) is no longer sufficient.
Non-Canadians from visa waiver countries:
The Visa Waiver Program (VWP) allows citizens of 36 countries to apply for entry to the United States without a non-immigrant visa if they are seeking entry for 90 days or less as a visitor for business or pleasure.
All Visa Waiver Program travelers, regardless of age or type of passport used, must present a machine-readable passport.
In addition, depending on when VWP travellers' passports were issued, other
passport requirements apply:
- Machine-readable passports issued or renewed/extended on or after 10/26/06: requires integrated chip with information from the data page (e-Passport) Machine-readable passports issued or renewed/extended between 10/26/05 and 10/25/06: requires digital photograph printed on the data page or integrated chip with information from the data page
- Machine-readable passports issued or renewed/extended before 10/26/05: no further requirements
Although you will not need a visa you will need to:
- Register online with the ESTA Program (Electronic System for Travel Authorization) before the retreat. This can be done here: http://esta.cbp.dhs.gov/esta/esta.html
- Go into the Immigration office at the border and pay the Visa Waiver fee of USD $6. In the past, this fee has been covered by Regent, but you will need to make your own arrangements to pay $6 in USD cash or credit card at the border for each member of your family.
Visa Waiver Program - Participating Countries:
Andorra, Australia, Austria, Belgium, Brunei, Chile, Czech Republic, Denmark, Estonia, Finland, France, Germany, Greece, Hungary, Iceland, Ireland, Italy, Japan, Republic of Korea, Latvia, Liechtenstein, Lithuania, Luxembourg, Malta, Monaco, the Netherlands, New Zealand, Norway, Portugal, San Marino, Singapore, Slovakia, Slovenia, Spain, Sweden, Switzerland, Taiwan, United Kingdom
Nationals of the Czech Republic, Estonia, Greece, Hungary, Latvia, Lithuania, Malta, Slovakia, and South Korea require passports with an integrated chip containing the information from the data page.
Visit the Visa Waiver Program page for full details.
Non-citizen Canadian residents from countries without a visa waiver:
International Students MUST pre-arrange $6 in USD cash or by credit card to be paid at the border. This is easily attainable at any of the banks on campus or around Vancouver.
You are under normal visa regulations. Please contact the Assistant Dean of Students, Claire Perini (firstname.lastname@example.com) if you require further information.
