A Straight Edge "Timeline"
By: Shawn Macomber Posted in: featured, listen On: Monday, April 7th, 2014
Check out a raging slab of unadulterated, all-star straight-edge hardcore off the upcoming EP A Place Beyond from Boston's Test of Time below — the precursor to a much-anticipated July full-length release By Design.
"Having been involved in the hardcore scene for about fifteen years each,'Timeline' is a reflection about the feelings that originally draw you into the scene and how during that time, most of us were awkward and uncomfortable with ourselves," guitarist Charles Chaussinand tells Decibel. "The second verse dives into having been in the scene for a while, and then the end of the song deals with how the hardcore scene fits in with life as an adult. To illustrate this point, this seven-inch only version of 'Timeline' includes guest vocals from Brian Connors (Caught in a Crowd) to start the song, Pat Flynn (Have Heart) through the middle, and Sweet Pete (In My Eyes) rounding out the end. While being personal, the lyrics ring true for anyone, in any stage of their 'hardcore lives.'"

reposted from beginner's forum... Let's say I wanted to build up a yeast vial from a bottle of La Chouffe. I have a stirplate. Realistically, how long would it take me to get from the dregs of a bottle to a 2l starter (or more)? I'm a little confused on how much time I would need, and know that you all have experience with this sort of thing. Thanks.
I would check out the "Yeast slanting" sticky on this. From what I read you are going from a small starter, like 50ml and building up to the 2L. If memory, that is coated in beer, serves I believe it is a week to build one up to a 2L level.

Nestled among multi-million dollar homes you'll find this gorgeous, remodeled, 2 bedroom, 1 full bath, gated, beachside home at 3180 Estero Blvd.
Located on the north side towards the middle of the island, across the street from Hammerhead Gym and 7/11 you'll love the convenience of shops, restaurants and health club facilities all within walking distance of your beachside vacation home.
Pull through the private gates and into your vacation home in Paradise. Walking up the front steps you'll smell the salt air and feel the Gulf breeze blow through your hair. Open the door and enter your home away from home. You'll be greeted by the great room, bathed in natural light from the wall of windows facing the beach. You'll immediately feel the stresses of everyday life slipping away.
The home is decorated in soft pastel colors, accented in crisp whites with a tropical flair, giving it spa like atmosphere and you a refuge of escape and rejuvenation.
The custom kitchen has self closing cabinets and drawers, a large farmhouse sink, granite counters, and stainless steel appliances. Everything you'll need for preparing a simple breakfast to a gourmet dinner has been supplied for you. A full size washer and dryer can be found tucked away in a closet in the kitchen.
The open concept of the great room allows you to entertain while cooking. Dine at the dining table overlooking the gulf waters then retire to the living room to unwind.

Ready to head to the beach? Walk out your front door and through the gate down the private deeded path and you'll find seven miles of white sugar sand beach waiting for you to explore. Head north just one mile to Times Square for shopping, restaurants and nightlife. For the adventurous jet ski and parasailing rentals are only a one minute walk from the house. Chair and cabana rentals are also just outside your door beachside.
At the end of a fun filled day at the beach retreat to the master bedroom for a well deserved night of sleep. Decorated in a soft pastel lilac color with yellow accents, a queen size bed and in-room private TV are waiting for you. There is plenty of closet and drawer space to accommodate all your outfits and personal belongings.

Don't forget to catch our gorgeous nightly sunsets from the beach which is right outside your door. No two sunsets are ever the same and somehow seem to get more spectacular as each night passes.
Restaurants and quick groceries are just outside your door at 7/11. Topps grocery store and Publix, both full scale grocery stores, are both just a 1-2 minute drive from the house. Walk to everything including the gym. Day and week passes are available at the gym to help you get in, or stay in, shape while on vacation.

Trinidad + Tobago Restaurants
5 Robinson Street
Scarborough , Tobago
Trinidad and Tobago
Tel: 868 639 2737
Scarborough's best home cooks, Alison and Ken Sardinha, open their hillside villa and large terrace to visitors for lunch, afternoon tea (on Tuesdays), and dinner. It's the best place to try local dishes: vegetarian callaloo soup (pureed greens, okra, and coconut milk), chicken grilled over coconut husks, cou-cou (a polenta-like dish), cookup (rice pilaf with everything), kingfish, curry chicken, and fried flying fish. Get chatting with the gregarious Miss Alison and you'll get Tobago tips and hints on the recipes.
Open Tuesdays through Fridays 11 am to 3 pm; Mondays, Wednesdays and Fridays dinner by reservation only.
Wrightson Road, adjacent to Hyatt Port of Spain
Port of Spain , Trinidad
Trinidad and Tobago
Tel: No phone
Breakfast Shed's waterfront setting and fantastic harbor views make it a perfect spot for plotting the morning's excursions. Essentially a glorified food hall sheltered under a single pavilion, the Shed is comprised of open-air stalls featuring quintessential Trinidadian dishes, from rich cowheel stew to shark-and-bake sandwiches. Daily specials are scrawled in (barely legible) chalk; when in doubt, queue up where lines are longest. Frequented mostly by locals on lunch break, it also makes a good fueling stop en route to the Tobago ferry terminal.—Aaron Barker
Open daily 6:30 am to 4 pm.
4 Taylor Avenue
Port of Spain , Trinidad
Trinidad and Tobago
Tel: 868 221 0080
The melting pot of Trinidad makes an ideal home for Hakka's cuisine, a unique fusion of Chinese recipes and fragrant Indian spices. If there's a thread that unites these dishes, it's their deliciously fiery kick (highlights include Hong Kong shrimp and whole chile fish). Deep crimson walls in the dining room evoke the atmospheric feel of an opium den, which draws in heavy crowds during the evenings. Enjoy a cocktail in the back lounge if there's a wait; the official drink list veers towards the cloyingly sweet, so an "off the menu" Stag lager is the way to go. Reservations recommended.—Aaron Barker
Open Mondays through Saturdays 11 am to 11 pm.
Main Road
Speyside , Tobago
Trinidad and Tobago
Tel: 868 660 4066
An only-in-the-Caribbean experience: The main dining room of this funky East End eatery is a tree house resting in the boughs of an Indian almond tree, with views of offshore Goat and Little Tobago islands. Owner Jemma Sealey concentrates on fresh-caught kingfish and lobster, as well as chicken cooked in curry or creole sauces. Set lunches and dinners come with a huge variety of hearty side dishes, from pigeon peas and cole slaw to breadfruit pie, a stick-to-your ribs mix of breadfruit, cheese, eggs, bell peppers, onions, and scallions. Go even more local by quaffing an LLB, a refreshing Trini beverage of soda water flavored with lemon, lime, and Angostura Bitters.—Chris Cox.
Open Sundays through Thursdays 8 am to 8:30 pm, Fridays 8 am to 4 pm.
Kariwak Village
Store Bay Local Road
Crown Point , Tobago
Trinidad and Tobago
Tel: 868 639 8442
Local and healthy foods are given a gourmet twist in this casual indoor-outdoor setting at Kariwak Village resort (known for its holistic approach to vacationing). Choose a table in the dining room amid local art or in a thatched cabana outdoors. Almost all the herbs and produce are grown in Kariwak's organic garden, and everything from the yogurt and ice cream to the hearty breads is homemade. Be sure to try the hot cocoa for breakfast. Lunch is a basic affair of healthy salads and sandwiches, while the dinner menu changes nightly and features entrées such as chicken with basil and coconut, a choice of sides like breadfruit pie and green banana salad, plus homemade dessert.—Updated by Aaron Barker
40 Ariapita Avenue
Port of Spain , Trinidad
Trinidad and Tobago
Tel: 868 628 8687
Mélange earns its name by swirling classic French into Trinidad's cultural stew. Port of Spain's execs stop by the cozy, maison-like restaurant for weekday lunch and seafood crêpes. Typical examples on the ever-changing dinner menu are pepper-crusted pork tenderloin with cassava and wild rice cakes or stuffed chicken breast with a coconut crust and port wine sauce.—Updated by Aaron Barker
Open Mondays through Fridays 11:30 am to 2:30 pm; Tuesdays through Saturdays 6:30 to 10:30 pm.
Grafton Beach Road
Black Rock , Tobago
Trinidad and Tobago
Tel: 868 639 0686
This two-story open-air restaurant, named after the adjacent Seahorse Inn on Grafton Beach, serves some of Tobago's finest cuisine. Expect international dishes with a local twist, like rack of spring lamb with port and guava sauce or butterflied shrimp in Creole garlic butter with cayenne pepper. Live steelpan music accompanies your meal, as do the swishing breakers. Be sure to upgrade your attire (skip the flip-flops and shorts), especially at dinner. Reservations recommended.
Store Bay , Tobago
Trinidad and Tobago
Store Bay Beach is the hub of the tourism scene on Tobago, a lively cove buzzing with surf skis and party boats. For a crash course in local cuisine, try the collection of food stalls along the water. Almost every vendor offers a delicious snack, but if you want the local specialty, line up early at Miss Jean's for blue land crabs (they sell out fast). Cooked whole-shell and served with curry sauce and doughy dumplings, the crabs require a bit of skill, plenty of napkins, and some noisy sucking to get at the meat; best leave your manners back at the hotel. Shark-and-bake sandwiches—essentially, fish burgers garnished with tomatoes and a tangy sauce—also are popular (and far easier to carry back to your towel).—Updated by Aaron Barker
67 Ariapita Avenue
Port of Spain , Trinidad
Trinidad and Tobago
Tel: 868 624 4597
This long-standing lunch destination, entirely owned and run by women, continues to reap the crowds thanks to chef Allyson Hennessy (locally famous for her TV talk show as well as her sound French-Creole cooking) and her sister-partner, Rosemary Hezekiah. Cheery primary-colored chairs on pine floors, potted palms, brightly hand-painted tables, and local artwork are the backdrop for lunches and dinners comprising whatever is fresh and good at the market each morning—crab, kingfish, snapper, callaloo, pork, always something with chicken, and fresh tropical juices.
Open Monday through Friday 11:30 am to 3 pm; Wednesday and Friday from 7 pm.

I think it's a great obituary! Tongue-in-cheek and razorsharp!
Good riddance. Another charlatan who has no shame in taking money from people and selling them a false story to fill the void in their lives. Spiritual counseling to presidents! What a farce. This man didn't know what the human spirit needs.
A truly masterful obituary of a truly masterful evangelical conman. But this excellent business continues to thrive around the world because the blind sheep continue to multiply. These guys could earn their millions legitimately as actors in Hollywood.
SIR, the obituary made interesting reading and took me down memory lane and in connection with teh article, I have something personal to share. It was in the year 1980, as a 12 yr old boy that I read the book called 'seed faith' by Oral, gifted to my father by a friend. I learnt that Oral had been healed of TB and an acute stuttering condition. Since I too had same acute stuttering condition since age 5, which could not be cured by the excellent medical attention I received at CMC Hosp. Vellore, India, I clutched at the hope this book gave me; that indeed Jesus does heal even today. I expected to be able to speak normally any day after that. In the year 1988, I started speaking absolutely clearly soon after a healing meeting conducted by DGS Dhinakaran at the Karunya engineering college I studied at the time!
To date, my condition is absolutely normal and have never once stuttered again. I want to thank God for my healing. I am also thankful for men like Oral who are unashamed in sharing their story so that cases like mine that cannot yet be cured by medical science can be healed and live a natural life!- Ben
Oral Roberts took the gospel of prosperity to excess. There's enjoying the fruits of your labor and their conspicuous consumption. A good example of the former is his contemporary Billy Graham. He makes a good living, he's made some serious missteps along the way, but if I had to believe in prosperity as part of the gospel I think the way God would intend it lived out is Graham's way, not Roberts' way.
Was it God's will for him to have a new Mercedes every six months? This prosperity gospel so often preached today has little if any Christian values or ethics. If I believed in God I would find it hard to imagine that he really cares about someone's financial well being. After all, Jesus himself told the disciples they shouldn't worry about material things, God cares for sparrows and he'll care for you. Roberts was a no class con man who saw how to turn a dime in this world off the superstitions of the ignorant, and many a dime did he turn.
Matthew 19:24
"Again I say to you, it is easier for a camel to go through the eye of a needle, than for a rich man to enter the kingdom of God"
Well done, Economist obituary writer; every word can be construed as respectful and positive-sounding, but those of us not completely devoid of irony can marvel at the skewering. Lack of the irony gene is, alas, widespread, especially in the US, as some of the comments show.
What a class in journalistic excellence!
There is a better biography of this man in Wikipedia.
Of all the preachers that the world has seen over the past 2000 years (many of whom were martyred for their beliefs), these "evangelists" are the only ones who claimed that God wanted them to be rich.
It is easy to be cynical, but it would be interested to know what they really felt in their own hearts. Perhaps, over time, they became even more deluded than their audiences !
Nicely put!
Well, I always thought that primarily intelligent or semi intelligent people read the Economist. However after reading the responses to this tongue in the cheek obituary I have to question my judgement. Oral Roberts was an earlier Bernie Madoff using religious messages to con the gullible out of their hard earned money. And I never thought the gullible read the Economist - on does live and learn.
This Obituary doesn't seem like the normal kind that describes a mans life. Its more biased and critical than any obituary that I've ever read. I enjoy reading the economist because it usually tells the whole story and lets the reader form their own opinion. This article lacked what I like most from The Economist.
This obit was obviously done with tongue in cheek. I kept waiting for the writer to out and out criticize OR and reveal for us if indeed the man was a fraud or a Prophet. It never happened. Well done anyway!
It is not often one gets to read an absolutely hilarious obituary.
I remember when this crook was running up the cash for his so-called "City of Faith" hospital scam. He kept going around saying that when he had the 8 million that his 900 Foot Jesus demanded as ransom, well Jesus was going to reveal the cure for cancer just to Ol' Oral himself. Oh, and after it was built, sure was amazing that the center didn't accept insurance. You had to pay in cash. And idiots like my aunt were dumb enough to send thousands of dollars to this crook. Oh, and after it opened, well, I guess JC forgot to disclose the cancer cure to Oral.
Bottom line--Oral Roberts was a world class con-artist.
LinkH, articles are written by human beings for God's sake. Journalists can't be expected to have an in-depth knowledge of everything they may be required to write about, often at short notice and in stressful conditions. Articles on the very few subjects I know quite a bit about are bound to seem superficial, when not actually wrong on some points. You just do your cross-referencing and take your information from a variety of sources. Above all, question everything.
....ah yes the man who was held hostage by God! Remember when he told his followers a certain amount of money needed to be collected by his church by a certain date or God would end his life! I am just curious as to how much intelligence it must take to follow a man who made such claims. What makes him so believable even when he stated such ridiculous scenarios?
That bit at the end about Oral Roberts thinking he would reign in Tulsa even though his heavenly home had been prepared causes me to suspect that the author did not have enough depth of knowledge to understand what Oral Roberts was saying. It makes me wish news sources would footnote their sources. In a Time Article 'Religion: Raising Eyebrows and the Dead," from Monday July 13, 1987, Roberts was quoted as saying, ""I wouldn't be surprised if God did not bring me back to these 400 acres of Oral Roberts University he has built and would let me reign over these 400 acres." I don't know if that is what The Economist article is drawing from.
If it is, it would seem that your journalist didn't have enough understanding of Roberts belief system to properly write the article. I often find journalists make such mistakes in writing about religion. It makes me wonder how inaccurate they are about all the other topics they only have a surface understanding of.
While I am not exactly sure of all of Roberts beliefs, he comes form a Pentecostal Holiness background. Pentecostals typically believe that they have some spiritual existence, with the Lord, at death. But later, when Christ returns, that He will reign for 1000 years on the earth during the millineal kingdom. During this time, the saints will rule and reign with Christ. Many who believe this way interpret that to mean that Christ will divide up lands for faithful believers to rule. In some versions of dispensationalism, it is believed that some human survivors who have not been resurrected or transformed will be left on the earth.
I do not know if Roberts ever said he thought he would rule Tulsa for all eternity. Perhaps he believed he would be given responsibility for Tulsa or some portion thereof. There may be an Oral Roberts quotes that I am unfamiliar with. I would be interested in reading the quote the author of the article took this last bit at the end from, to see if he just did not understand what Oral Roberts was saying.
Add Mr. Roberts to the list of database managers who preceded the computer age. The 1930's radio priest Charles Coughlin was the first, using volunteer women parishioners to manually cross-index extensive mailing lists to the point that during WW2 he could hit up parents for donations by referencing comforting letters sent in his name sent to their overseas military personnel children. From the obit, it looks as if Roberts mail list management was as good or better.

Studio Description: My hand built clay pieces are quick, energetic studies that reflect the love of form and texture. They represent honest, thoughtful responses to experiences unconsciously recalled. I feel all artists benefit from experimenting with different mediums. Their hand-eye coordination, attentiveness and flexibility will be strengthened. My BFA in painting has influenced my relationship with clay in a positive manner. The process of defining goals and working with focus is important to me. My current goal is to continue building large clay vessels, combined with other mediums (glass and metal) ultimately guiding me towards more sculptural forms. My desire always is originality and growth as a visual artist. |

Wigan chairman Dave Whelan is pleased with the football being played by the team this season and is even happier that results are picking up.The Latics secured their first home win of the season against 10-man Wolves.And having had to watch the more pragmatic styles of Paul Jewell and Steve Bruce, Whelan, who has invested in a number of new players, is enjoying current manager Roberto Martinez's second season in charge."We have got some really top-quality players and we try to play football from back to front," said the chairman."We have plenty of pace in the side, and nobody likes playing pace - as I know from my playing days. Hopefully we can keep on progressing and head in the right direction."The three points on Saturday will make all the difference to the confidence levels in the squad. You can feel that in the camp."

Opposition members had previously criticized the referendum because a "no" vote would leave Morsi with sweeping powers. The new document canceled Morsi's previous decree making his own actions immune from judicial review, granting himself wide powers to "protect the revolution," and protecting the constituent assembly from dissolution by the judiciary. But it does say that constitutional decrees such as this one are immune to judicial challenges.
Fresh protests planned
Protesters prepared to march to the presidential palace today to voice their rejection of the president's new move. The streets around the palace turned into a battle zone this week when the president's supporters attacked the protesters who had gathered there. Seven people were killed in the street clashes.
Morsi's determination to put the constitution to a vote shows his confidence that the majority of Egyptians will accept it, despite the large and widespread protests over recent weeks, including attacks on Muslim Brotherhood offices. The Brotherhood, of which the president was a leader before he ran for president, has an extensive grass-roots network that makes it extremely effective at election mobilization. Analysts say he's also counting on the fact that many Egyptians are weary of protests after nearly two years of instability.
Though opposition groups have united in the face of Morsi's recent actions, virtually none have started on-the-ground campaigning for a vote against the constitution, preferring instead to spend their efforts protesting and demanding a delay in the referendum. That leaves them with less than a week to mobilize voters against the constitution, if they decide to do so.

Grant cools striker links
05 Jan 2008 - 12:18:22
Chelsea manager Avram Grant has played down renewed speculation linking the Blues with moves for Bolton Wanderers' Nicolas Anelka and Tottenham Hotspur's Dimitar Berbatov.
The Blues are being strongly tipped to make a move for a new striker this month, with star frontman Didier Drogba currently out injured.
However, Grant says that no deals are imminent, although he did rule out any players being allowed to leave Stamford Bridge.
He told the club's official website: "At the moment there is a lot of speculation, I understand it, we have a lot of injuries and players are going to the African Nations Cup, but there is no news for the moment about any players coming to Chelsea.
"There are so many good players we are following. I don't want to talk about Anelka or Berbatov, or any other players. There is no news at the moment, that is what is important.
"Every week someone is writing about players coming or leaving us. I am happy with the squad.
"All the players who are now in the squad will stay in the squad until the end of the season."

Just a wonderful place!
Fernwood Gardens in one of the most beautiful places we have stayed. The cozy apartment was very roomy, spotless and is so warm and inviting. We were greeted by Dawn ( a wonderful, kind and sincere host) a hand written welcome note on the front door, the warmth of the wood burning stove, soft music, beautiful flowers from the garden and fresh fruit and nuts on the table.The Garden that Dawn has created is nothing short of magnificent and happens to be right outside your front door. The view from the apartment overlooks an expansive Amish Farm. The entire area is Amish Farmlands without the traffic of Route 30 and 340. It is a short scenic drive to all the popular attractions. We loved the area that we were in. We also met Herb who is a perfect compliment to his wife Dawn. The most peaceful environment for some time off from the hustle and bustle of everyday life. Can't wait to visit Fernwood Gardens again. Sincere thanks to Dawn and Herb.

Pictures don't do it justice! Naemi H. from Monument, CO recommends this property. Stayed for 2 days in March, 2014 We loved this condo! We had three couples and three young children stay here very comfortably. The three bedrooms are all separate from each other and nicely appointed. It is the second I've rented with this property manager and had a great experience so hopefully the other reviewer's problems were a rarity. I'd definitely rent this again! |

Worst Management Company Ever Rich R. from Denver, CO does not recommend this property. Stayed for 2 days in February, 2014 i'll spare you the disorganized details and go straight to the facts:- we were not let into our property until 3 hours after arrival- 1.5 of those hours were spent in a hallway with two children under the age of 4.- we were moved into a new property in a different town, then moved back into the original place 3 hours after we tried to check-in- completely unorganized, unapologetic, unresponsive management company after our stay. |

Nice place! Wayne B. from Pasadena, TX recommends this property. Stayed for 5 days in January, 2013 This place was very nice. If your a skier, nice place to be located to ski Keystone, Breckenridge and Vail.The only problem we had with the place was trying to get the heat evenly distributed. Upstairs and one room down stairs was hot when the rest of the area were cool/warm. Shutting a vent here and there help push the heat else where. Other than than it was great! |

World Cup diary - Suarez nominated for goalkeeping award
Published: 06 Jul 2010 - 07:24:02
Netherlands goalkeeper Maarten sent a mischievous text message to Ajax team-mate Luis Suarez, to nominate him for the World Cup's best goalkeeper award.
Suarez was sent off in Friday's match with Ghana after a deliberate handball denied the Africans a goal. The striker misses tonight's semi-final against the Netherlands as a result. "I sent him a text message saying that he has been the best goalkeeper of the tournament.
"I think he should get the Lev Yashin award," said Stekelenburg. Let's hope the Dutchman doesn't end up with egg on his face.
Uruguayan assistant referee Mauricio Espinosa has denied making a mistake for Frank Lampard's 'phantom goal' for England against Germany.
Espinosa said: "It was simply bad luck with the ball moving at high speed which we couldn't see as it came down over the line - even though I was properly positioned".
- Sneijder linked to Man United move
Miroslav Klose is just one goal short of Brazil legend Ronaldo's record tally of 15 at World Cup finals. Klose played in the 2002 World Cup final, in which the mercurial forward scored twice.
"I spoke with Ronaldo after the final", said the 32-year-old striker. "At the time I would not have dreamed of ever coming this close to him, needing two more goals to surpass him. I hope he's not too worried."
German Chancellor Angela Merkel will not watch her national team take on Spain in Durban in Wednesday's World Cup semi-final.
Deputy government spokesman Christoph Steegmans said it remains unclear whether Merkel would attend Sunday's final in Johannesburg, should Germany make it.
Italy goalkeeper Gianluigi Buffon has undergone successful surgery on a back injury sustained during his country's opening World Cup match against Paraguay.
Great news Gigi, though some would argue that the Italians' displays since have been spineless.
- FOOTBALL.CO.UK BLOGGER:Tom Littlefield
- Seen as the heir apparent to Jan Molby until an underactive thyroid gland curtailed this youngster's development, Tom Littlefield will now concentrate on making a "big pitch" (pun) during South Africa 2010. As Barnet's staunchest Gooner, he is well placed to judge good football. So, while the England team provides your compulsory tournament displeasure, Tom will look to rouse your enthusiasm for the beautiful game (and WAGS) in the oasis of oratory that is his World Cup Diary.

Charleston County needs a name for its new recycling mascot. The mascot's costume is modeled after the recycling cart used in the county's successful All-In-One program.
"Having a mascot present at outreach and community events enables children and adults alike to connect with our recycling programs and understand the importance of conserving our resources," said County Councilwoman Anna Johnson, chairwoman of the group's Recycling and Solid Waste Committee.
Residents are asked to submit names via email to firstname.lastname@example.com. All email submissions must be submitted by noon on April 11.
Environmental Management staff will select the top four names. The winner will be selected from among those four via a poll on the county's Facebook page.
The person who submits the name that earns the most votes will receive an annual Gold Pass membership for Charleston County Parks.
The mascot will debut at the Annual Earth Day Festival on April 26.
For more information on the mascot naming contest, contact the Charleston County Environmental Management Department at 720-7111 or see recycle.charlestoncounty.org.

text: 'Game of Thrones' season finale recap: Suffer the childrenBy Sean T. Collins, Rolling StoneUpdated 9:50 AM ET, Mon June 16, 2014'Game of Thrones': Who's who in Westeros 17 photos'Game of Thrones': Who's who in Westeros – In HBO's "Game of Thrones," a robust cast of lords and ladies all plot to claim the Iron Throne and rule the Seven Kingdoms of Westeros. Between the beheadings and the house mottos, it can be easy to lose track of who does what. Here's a brief guide to who's who (while they're still here):Hide Caption 1 of 17'Game of Thrones': Who's who in Westeros 17 photosWho's who in Westeros – Jon Snow (Kit Harington): From bastard son to wildling lover, Jon Snow and his immaculate medieval tresses have had quite the journey. Jon vowed to be loyal to the Night's Watch -- the ragtag group who stand guard at the icy North wall on high alert for the fantastical (the zombie-like White Walkers) and the free (wildlings) -- and he's held true to that promise even after a detour in the arms of wildling Ygritte. Sadly, by the end of season four, that romance is dead.Hide Caption 2 of 17'Game of Thrones': Who's who in Westeros 17 photosWho's who in Westeros – Tyrion Lannister (Peter Dinklage): With his sharp wit and swift thinking, Peter Dinklage's Tyrion Lannister has managed to stay alive through all three seasons of "Game of Thrones," although the fourth season has been even dicier. A Lannister and therefore the son of the wealthiest guy around, Tyrion is nonetheless despised by his family because of his size and their belief that he "killed" their mother during childbirth. Hide Caption 3 of 17'Game of Thrones': Who's who in Westeros 17 photosWho's who in Westeros – Daenerys Targaryen (Emilia Clarke): As one of the few surviving descendants of the Targaryen family, Daenerys has a lot of expectations riding on her platinum-haired head. But, much to our enjoyment, she has risen to and surpassed all of them. Once nothing more than an offering for a king, Daenerys -- called Khaleesi, or queen, by the Dothraki people she once helped rule -- has morphed into a Mother of Dragons who insists on justice and is a formidable foe in the "Game of Thrones."Hide Caption 4 of 17'Game of Thrones': Who's who in Westeros 17 photosWho's who in Westeros – Joffrey Baratheon (Jack Gleeson): In the pantheon of most-hated TV characters, "Game of Thrones'" boy king Joffrey has to be one of the top choices. He's petulant, cruel and too immature to rule, but don't tell him that or he'll have your tongue. The most delicious part for the viewers at home is that he's not the rightful heir to the Iron Throne that he thinks he is, although that didn't stop his reign of terror. In our personal opinions, we'd say the Purple Wedding was one of Joff's best scenes. Hide Caption 5 of 17'Game of Thrones': Who's who in Westeros 17 photosWho's who in Westeros – Arya Stark (Maisie Williams): Much of Arya's family has been sent to their graves by one wicked person or another, but the young swordswoman is still kicking. With Sandor "The Hound" Clegane at her side imparting lessons in mercilessness and self-preservation, the orphaned Arya is surviving. Hide Caption 6 of 17'Game of Thrones': Who's who in Westeros 17 photosWho's who in Westeros – Cersei Lannister (Lena Headey): Cersei has become more or less your stereotypical evil queen, albeit one who has zero issues with incest. After helping her son Joffrey take the throne, Cersei tried to rule alongside her son only to have him overtake her will. During season four, when not being as cruel as ever, she's been a central character in a rich debate on the show's treatment of sexual violence.Hide Caption 7 of 17'Game of Thrones': Who's who in Westeros 17 photosWho's who in Westeros – Jaime Lannister (Nikolaj Coster-Waldau): Jaime Lannister began the "Game of Thrones" as a pretty despicable character, one who had no compunction about throwing a 10-year-old from a window. But over the course of season three this lovesick nobleman was put through his paces, losing the very limb that helped him become so powerful. Hide Caption 8 of 17'Game of Thrones': Who's who in Westeros 17 photosWho's who in Westeros – Theon Greyjoy (Alfie Allen): If you find yourself confused as to who exactly Theon Greyjoy is, don't feel bad: he is, too. Once the ward of the House of Stark, Theon betrayed those who were like family to him to claim a noble title that lasted for essentially a nanosecond. That led to Theon suffering as a prisoner and punching bag for Bastard of Bolton Ramsay Snow, who has the guy thinking his name is "Reek."Hide Caption 9 of 17'Game of Thrones': Who's who in Westeros 17 photosWho's who in Westeros – Sandor "The Hound" Clegane (Rory McCann): A killer to the bone but not without a heart, Sandor, or "The Hound" as he's known, was once a bodyguard for King Joffrey but deserted his post. He then tried to take Arya Stark hostage in hopes he could exchange her for ransom, but that plan -- much to Arya's amusement -- didn't work out so well.Hide Caption 10 of 17'Game of Thrones': Who's who in Westeros 17 photosWho's who in Westeros – Bran Stark (Isaac Hempstead Wright): Bran Stark, the middle son of the House of Stark, was left crippled from the very first episode of "Game of Thrones" but has gained a gift for visions. With his faithful Hodor (Kristian Nairn) by his side for mobility, the now orphaned Bran has gone beyond the Wall in search of the three-eyed Raven he frequently sees in visions. Hide Caption 11 of 17'Game of Thrones': Who's who in Westeros 17 photosWho's who in Westeros – Sansa Stark (Sophie Turner): Sansa Stark/Sansa Lannister is a character many love to hate, because she started out as pretty insufferable. But after being ridiculed and tortured by Joffrey Lannister, her former fiance, and held captive by him and his family, we've come around. Not unlike her younger sister Arya, Sansa has started to learn the rules of the "Game," and by the end of season four begins to deftly play by them. Hide Caption 12 of 17'Game of Thrones': Who's who in Westeros 17 photosWho's who in Westeros – Tywin Lannister (Charles Dance): No matter who's worn the crown on "Game of Thrones," Tywin Lannister was always somewhere scheming to keep the Lannister family's legacy rich in money and power. He's alsoe the evil mastermind behind the hideous Red Wedding in the third season.Hide Caption 13 of 17'Game of Thrones': Who's who in Westeros 17 photosWho's who in Westeros – Oberyn Martell (Pedro Pascal): Arriving at King's Landing for the first time in season four, Martell is from Dorne, in the southern reaches of the Seven Kingdoms, where passions run hot and slights are not forgotten. Weigh that against the fact that his sister was killed by Lannister soldiers and you have a recipe for trouble.Hide Caption 14 of 17'Game of Thrones': Who's who in Westeros 17 photosWho's who in Westeros – Ygritte (Rose Leslie): Ygritte, one of the Free Folk who live beyond the Wall and are known derogatorily as wildlings by those in the Seven Kingdoms, is proud of her people and deadly with a bow and arrow. Her skill couldn't protect her from an orphan's revenge, however. Hide Caption 15 of 17'Game of Thrones': Who's who in Westeros 17 photosWho's who in Westeros – Stannis Baratheon (Stephen Dillane): As a brother to the late King Robert Baratheon -- who held the throne before his son-in-name-only Joffrey took over -- Stannis Baratheon knows he has a rightful claim to the crown. He's gone into battle trying to seal his position, and regularly turns to the magic of creepy "Red Priestess" Melisandre (Carice van Houten) for help.Hide Caption 16 of 17'Game of Thrones': Who's who in Westeros 17 photosWho's who in Westeros – Melisandre (Carice van Houten): Known as the Red Priestess, Melisandre's magic is lethal, but Stannis Baratheon doesn't seem to mind when her power helps him move closer to the Iron Throne. Hide Caption 17 of 17Story highlightsThe season finale aired on SundayIt was the longest episode in the series' historyThere was some things missingThe bastard son of a slain traitor. The twin son and daughter of a great lord. The king born of their incestuous union. The charred corpse of a shepherd's daughter. The huge and deadly hatchlings of an exile queen. The two young psychics who sacrificed limb and life to heed some mystical call. The last survivors of a mythical race. The feral young apprentice to a succession of killers. The butcher's boy whose death spurred her anger. The unwanted offspring who brings his House down around him at last. "Game of Thrones" titled its fourth season finale "The Children," and its brood was huge and varied.RS: 'Game of Thrones' - How Kit Harrington Became Jon SnowThe longest episode in the series' history, "The Children" thrummed with storytelling energy — not just the usual 'round-the-world scene-shifting, but actual, honest-to-god Major Plot Developments in each storyline, with only the Tyrells, the Boltons & Theon, and Sansa & Littlefinger unaccounted for. Simply describing the sprawl could eat up all your time and attention, with its turning point after turning point -- the wildlings defeated! Stannis at the Wall! The dragons in chains! The Children of the Forest returned! Bran as a sorcerer's apprentice! Brienne defeats the Hound! Tywin dead! Tyrion and Varys on the run! Arya sailing off to adventure!But sometimes what got dropped stood out the most. No, not the dialogue or scenes snipped from the corresponding chapters in the books. The music -- the near-total absence of composer Ramin Djawadi's swirling, stirring score during the duel between Brienne and the Hound, the Hound's pleas for euthanasia from Arya, Tyrion's murder of Shae. And the visuals -- the way the bright gray light of the sky reduced much of Brienne and the Hound's battle to silhouettes, the way the featureless snow north of the wall made the black shapes of Stannis's charging cavalry or the White Walkers' skeleton berserkers stand out in such stark relief. In the former cases, the silence made the brutality more uncomfortable to watch. In the latter, the lack of visual information in the landscape turned it into a blank canvas on which the spectacle could be painted in the boldest strokes possible.George R.R. Martin: The complete Rolling Stone interviewIn the opposing effects of those strategic, structuring absences, just as in the variety of all the characters to which the episode's title refers, the true shape of "The Children" reveals itself. Intimacy and grandiosity, empathy and brutality -- "Game of Thrones" doesn't just straddle these lines, it water-dances on both sides at once. So you get a skeleton-army attack out of a Ray Harryhausen Saturday-matinee movie and a domestic-violence murder out of a Michael Haneke art-house joint. You get an elf lobbing magic fireballs at zombies like something out of Dungeons & Dragons, and a man getting shot to death in a bathroom like something out of a mob movie. Jon Snow strides into the wilding camp, allowing himself to be surrounded and subdued — then Stannis and Davos charge into it on horseback, killing at will. Beautiful, peaceful, dead Ygritte on her bier or comatose, rotting, living Gregor "The Mountain" Clegane on Qyburn's mad-science operating table — take your pick. You get the Hound repeatedly begging for death, and Tyrion repeatedly apologizing for causing it.And it's never stronger than when the care feeds the cruelty. Look at the episode's two strongest sequences: Tyrion's escape and the Hound's last stand. Tyrion is the more or less undisputed fan-favorite character of the series; his framing and trial for murder was the season's central storyline. The Imp's emergence from his family's hideous shadow has been crucial to the whole series since Peter Dinklage got top billing at the start of Season Two. But his great escape first sees him choke his ex-girlfriend to death, then murder his own father while the elder man takes a s**t. Now he's locked in a box literally and figuratively -- set to stew in rage, resentment, and regret most likely for the rest of his life. This, it argues, is the inevitable consequence of greatness.By contrast, Brienne and the Hound should theoretically be spared this kind of final reckoning. They're both ronin, masterless misfits who don't fit in with any side in the War of Five Kings. They even have the same motive: protecting the Stark sisters. Yet the show concocts a confrontation for them that's nowhere to be found in the source material, taking two beloved characters and crushing them against one another until only one's left standing. It basically weaponizes the affection we feel for them.Top 40 'Game of Thrones' Characters, RankedA lot of viewers bang their heads against this kind of dichotomy. Sometimes "Game of Thrones" is a widescreen epic fantasy, other times it's a small-scale study of violent lives, and it's a struggle both to anticipate and appreciate whatever you wind up getting. The answer is to stop struggling. At its best -- and "The Children" is certainly this show at its wide and wild best — "Game of Thrones" is all of these things, simultaneously.See the original story at RollingStone.com.

Magilton praises stand-in Peters
Ipswich Town manager Jim Magilton has hailed the performance of makeshift left-back Jaime Peters during Sunday's 3-2 win over Norwich City.The 21-year-old winger came on as a first-half substitute for Ben Thatcher. Magilton told BBC Radio Suffolk: "Jaime has no fear and I think that is his greatest attribute.

I was flying quad in GPS hold mode. Then the led flashed white for 2-3 seconds in quad. Tried to land immediatly, but the altitude just didn't decrease at all. Then i pushed the throttle to ZERO for a second and back to half. Nothing happened.. for a few seconds, but then the quad to just started to fall even the throttle was in half. I should have turned it to manual flight-mode right when it started to fall, Am I right? video:

Here's a brief summary of troubleshooting list. erratic channel operation e.g. throttle being not responsive, drifting at high speed to either direction etc. : redo channel calibrations. You can spot the symptoms by checking the appropriate channel values in the GCS. Check also xelv values, if the values jumping to great number or constantly displaying great numbers then your IMU is likely to have caught radio/emi interference. Copter not holding its altitude and position well in GPS mode: check magnetic declination values also redo ESC calibration. Calibrate the ESCs from the GCS, dont do it directly by hooking it up to the receiver one by one. If copter is exhibiting toilet bowl effect (TBE) even when sat lock is more than 8, turn the compass module to the appropriate direction to compensate the TBE. I would suggest people to post in the other thread, which is this one. This thread is created by zero tech people but there's no reason to post in this thread unless they are actively engaging with users and helping them to troubleshoot their problems. So to say that this is an "owners thread" is beyond my understanding. |

YS-X6 Gimbal
Guys, I have set up a YS-X6 on a Hexa. All modes are working except the gimbal mode. I have put the signal(white wire) of the servo into the ET1 and ET2 of the MC. The servos are powered by a separate power supply. The servos are working, I have checked. My flying buddy an X4 on his Hexa and has the same problem. What are we missing or doing wrong?

You supply the IMU with power and you supply the Gimbel with power. these two has to have a common grownd. In other words the red wire that you removed from the servo and now connected to your second source, also have to have a ground connected to the black wire from the servo.

I am a little lost in ur explanation. You are saying that both the IMU and the gimbal must have a common ground. So a black wire must also go to the IMU from the servo and a black wire must also go from the power supply to the servo? So make the black wire from the servo a Y?
Jan 01, 2013, 01:19 AM | ||
If you plug your servo directly into your IMU then it get the signal, positive, and negative from the IMU. You want to power your servo from a different source like a BEC. So you cut the red positive wire that go to the servo and connect the red positive from the BEC (alternate source) to the red that go to the servo. You also have to connect the back negative from the BEC to the black that go to the servo but you have to also keep the black plugged into your IMU to provide the signal ground. So now you will have your white signal wire from the servo connected to the IMU. You will have your red positive wire connected to your BEC but not to the IMU. You will have the black ground wire from the servo connected to your IMU (Signal Ground) while you will also have your black ground wire from your BEC to the Servo black to provide the Voltage ground. Yes you make a Y lead on the black. Remember not to make a Y on the red as you want to isolate the red from your IMU. I hope this make sense. If you still dont understand let me know and I will draw you a picture. Regards Willie |

JAY CARNEY: Mr. Warsame, a Somali national, who was a member of al-Shabaab and has close associations with al Qaeda in the Arabian peninsula, AQAP, was captured by U.S. military forces in the Gulf region and taken into custody based on information developed regarding his links to terrorist groups. He was detained lawfully under the Law of War aboard a U.S. navy ship until his transfer to the U.S. for prosecution. The International Committee of The Red Cross was told of Warsame's detention on the ship, visited the site of detention, and had the opportunity, opportunity rather, to interview the detainee aboard the ship. As you know, wherever possible our first priority is, and always has been, to apprehend terrorist suspects and to preserve the opportunity to elicit valuable intelligence that can help us protect the American people. In this case, the government has been able to recover very valuable intelligence from this operation.

Do you have any reaction to that?

Smart machines will have "widespread and deep business impact" within the next few years, a leading analyst has claimed.
Kenneth Brant, research director at Gartner, believes rapidly advancing technology will see job destruction will happen at a faster pace through to 2020.
"Most business and thought leaders underestimate the potential of smart machines to take over millions of middle-class jobs in the coming decades," he claimed.
Mr Brant said machine-driven job elimination is set to "overwhelm the market's ability to create valuable new ones", as businesses gain efficiencies through the use of IT.
According to Gartner, machines are evolving from automating basic tasks to becoming advanced self-learning systems as capable as the human brain in many highly specialised professions.
"It's worth remembering that IT cost is typically about four per cent of annual revenue, whereas the labour costs that can be rationalised by smart machines are as high as 40 per cent in some knowledge and service industries," said Mr Brant.
He predicted that some "high-profile first movers" will trigger an 'arms race' for acquiring and/or developing smart machines.

I know there are challenges in getting an app approved for the WP app store but I keep reading about really established developers getting excited about trying out Windows Phone development and being so tired of the whole process they really don't feel it's worth making another game for the OS.
I know some of you have gone through this but with probably much less complicated apps.
Does it really need to be this hard? Is this just another example of Microsoft being too big and clumsy?
What that article is talking about is Xbox game licensing problems, not WP app store certification. Two different topics.
I have two apps on the WP app store (WP7 apps) and I didn't have any problems with Microsoft getting them approved and I'm a nobody. It actually was fairly smooth.
My only beef is I wish their apps sales and ad revenue poured into the same account instead of maintaining separate accounts, with different minimum payment reserves, totally different management sites, etc.
Oh, I see. So there's another level of red tape to go through in that case

The federal government needs to do a better job of explaining its unique position in the constellation of social media users, according to Justin Herman, who leads government-wide social media programs at the General Services Administration.
Privacy law, spending restrictions, and different performance metrics separate the government's public services mission from the private sector's public relations goals, Herman wrote in an April 22 post on the GSA's DigitalGov blog.
"Social media for government is rightfully different from social media for the private sector and amid changing technologies we must better understand these differences in order for agencies, companies and citizens to share in the full opportunities and benefits," he wrote.
Federal social media accounts can't target influential users to make messages go viral because of Privacy Act restrictions. They can't buy followers. They typically don't throw money at promoting posts through advertising.
Herman cited Coast Guard social media chief Christopher Lagan, who said the federal government offers a "deeper connection" on social media than a typical brand. "Our audience isn't made up of customers but of fellow Americans. We're not trying to sell them anything, we're trying to give them ownership of and a stake in the process."
Herman announced three new social media initiatives that will launch over the next three months, designed to improve federal users' visibility, reach, and effectiveness on social platforms.
A Federal Social Media Policy Development toolkit will be published on software code sharing repository Github. The second edition of the Social Media Accessibility toolkit, which helps social media managers make content more accessible to people with disabilities, will go live. Finally, GSA will release new guidance on how to measure the performance of government social media accounts.
GSA is also looking for two current federal employees to devote 20 percent of their work time under the open opportunities program to help report on federal social media trends.

Dodger Stadium, Los Angeles, California
LOS ANGELES (AP) -- Considering how much time Jason Repko has missed this season, his two-run bloop single must have felt like a line drive off the scoreboard.
Repko's seventh-inning hit gave the Los Angeles Dodgers a five-run cushion, and they needed every one of those runs in holding off the Cincinnati Reds 6-5 Monday night."It's been a while, about three months now, since I've really contributed in that way," said Repko, who was sidelined with an ankle sprain from May 10 through July 23. "Just getting a couple of RBI there to help out really felt great. It feels good to contribute and help the team win. I know the hit was a bloop, but it was placed pretty good. They find their holes, and you take them when you can get them."Russell Martin hit a two-run homer, Andre Ethier also had three hits and Jeff Kent added an RBI double, helping the Dodgers increase their NL West lead to three games over San Diego after a 4-5 road trip.Cincinnati dropped 3½ games back of St. Louis in the NL Central with its fourth straight loss. The Reds lead the wild-card race, a half-game in front of San Diego and a game in front of Philadelphia.Brad Penny (14-7) tied a career high for victories after overcoming early control problems and pulled even with Carlos Zambrano and Brandon Webb for the NL lead in wins. He allowed a run and four hits over five innings.Todd Hollandsworth had three RBI for Cincinnati, two on an eighth-inning single against Elmer Dessens. Brandon Phillips followed with a two-run homer off converted reliever Brett Tomko that cut the gap to one run.Tomko then walked David Ross and pinch-hitter Adam Dunn before Jonathan Broxton struck out Scott Hatteberg with runners at second and third. Broxton finished for his third save, throwing a called third strike past Phillips to end the game with two on."You certainly don't quit. But it's still a hard one to swallow," Hollandsworth said. "Tonight's game might help us because we got in their bullpen and scored some runs off them and made them work a little bit. I know they've been using a lot of bullets down there -- as have we. So if we can pull anything out of this game, hopefully that's what it is, and maybe it'll benefit us tomorrow."Chris Michalak (1-2) allowed four runs and seven hits in four innings in his Dodger Stadium debut. He spent most of the 2001 season with the Dodgers' Triple-A team, which at that time was in Albuquerque.Reds No. 3 hitter Edwin Encarnacion had a chance to drive in a runner from third base each of his first three times up but was retired all three times by Penny -- leaving Ken Griffey Jr. in the on-deck circle twice."We wore Penny down and made him throw an awful a lot of pitches," Hollandsworth said. "But we still really didn't even get to him. I mean, we got the one run off him, but he got out of it."Penny threw 61 pitches over the first three innings while giving up all five of his walks. He stranded Ryan Freel at third base in the first, throwing a called third strike past Encarnacion and retiring Griffey on a foul pop. He walked three straight batters with one out in the third, then escaped the jam when shortstop Rafael Furcal turned Encarnacion's grounder up the middle into a double play."I've got to do a better job of attacking the strike zone," Penny said. "I just lost it there for a second. I can't remember the last time I've done that, walking three guys in a row. But the good thing is that they didn't score."Griffey led off the fourth with a double, took third on Rich Aurilia's bloop single and scored on a groundout by Hollandsworth that trimmed the Dodgers' lead to 2-1.Los Angeles made it 4-1 in the bottom half with ground-rule doubles by Nomar Garciaparra and Kent, followed by Ethier's RBI single. Repko's two-run single against Todd Coffey made it 6-1 in the seventh.Martin opened the scoring in the second with his eighth homer.Game notes
Monday was the 40th anniversary of the only Beatles concert at Dodger Stadium. Organist Nancy Bea Hefley played plenty of songs recorded by the Fab Four. ... The Dodgers reached the 3 million mark in paid attendance for a record 21st time and 11th season in a row. ... Hollandsworth started in LF in place of Dunn, who is 1-for-19 against Penny. The only hit was a two-run homer on June 1, 2004, at Miami, when Penny was pitching for Florida.

Doody's Review Service
Reviewer: Katherine Riordan, MD (Mayo Clinic Arizona)Description: This thorough neuroanatomy book incorporates clinical cases and didactics to enhance learning. The previous edition was published in 2005.
Purpose: The purpose is to provide an in-depth discussion of neuroanatomy with brief clinical correlations.
Audience: The book is targeted at advanced neurology students or physicians wishing to brush up on their neuroanatomy education. It gives brief overviews of clinically relevant information as well, but this is not its focus.
Features: Topics in neuroanatomy are broken down by functional groupings that are standard for most neurology books. For example, anatomical structures and systems responsible for eye movements are covered in one chapter while the various functions of the basal ganglia are covered in another. Anatomical information is correlated with expected clinical deficits localizing from various structures and systems. There are many helpful and easy to understand illustrations, which are critical to neuroanatomy books.
Assessment: This book provides high quality information on neuroanatomical systems. This is a difficult subject that warrants a separate text to complement the more clinically oriented books. The basics of neuroanatomy have not changed much since the prior edition, but the authors feel they have incorporated feedback from readers with this new edition in order to improve the information delivery.
