Last night we had our usual Wednesday-night dinner at the farm. This is the best time of year, because, well, it's a farm … and the farm is very happy right now (despite the devastating loss of most of the tomatoes). I made, if I do say so myself, a fantastic gazpacho with fresh tomatoes, peppers, red onions, sherry vinegar, and a bit of avocado. Very refreshing. But the real treat was Nan's peach pie. I was too full from dinner to eat pie last night, but I did have some this morning as I was rushing out the door, late as usual. Dear me. It's fantastic and a perfect this-time-of-year dessert. The peaches aren't "ours," but they're local.
The recipe is Nan's adaptation from one of her favorite cookbooks, Vegetarian Pleasures, by Jeanne Lemlin. Nan thinks they might have been separated at birth – that's how much she loves this cookbook, and Nan knows from cookbooks. I hope you'll try this. I'm making it this weekend. Maybe twice.

If you have a moment so nerdy that you need to tell the Internet about it, we want you to send your submissions to dorklypwnup at gmail.
A couple of weeks before Mass Effect 3 was released here in the UK, I decided to play through the entire Mass Effect and Mass Effect 2 in preparation. It came to the day before ME3 release and all I had to do was the Collector's Base at the end of ME2. I must have only spent an hour or so on it, but I got really engrossed in it. When I finally finished it and the credits were rolling, I looked at my phone and saw 13 missed calls from my brother.
It turns out his wife had gone into labour and he had been calling me, so that I could drive them to the hospital, as per our agreement a week or so before. In the end, he'd given up and called a taxi. I felt so bad that I paid them for the taxi fair, and also took them out to dinner once they were comfortable enough to leave the baby at my parent's for an evening.
At the dinner, when we were finally alone together for the first time since the incident, he asked what I'd been doing that had gotten me so engrossed that I missed all 13 calls. So I loaned him Mass Effect and he's now as addicted as me...I don't think my sister-in-law is very happy with me at the moment. But oh well. Brotherly bonding FTW.
So, I come from a lower than middle class family, which can be straining when you're a gamer, especially in Brazil, where game consoles can cost an arm and a leg. My parents, especially my father, are unbelievably cheap, so in one of his legendary "agreements" he proposed that, if I managed to enter this super fancy scholarship only elite full-time high school, he would finally grant me the unbelievable boon of a Playstation 2. This was in Sep. '06, slightly before the PS3 came out.
So in an unprecedented event I worked hard and got accepted to that school, forcing him to spend US$300 on a second hand PS2... which he actually played more than me. The elite school was extremely demanding, and in the end he was the one playing until late at night with his friends, while I complained and asked them to keep it low because I had to wake up early in the morning to go to school.
I was about 11 when we finished building our house and celebrated with our family. My 17-year old cousin was suckered into playing GoldenEye with me and my 6-year old sister. Unfortunately for him, I played the game constantly and my sister had played against me so much that she had gotten pretty good in her own right. My poor cousin was incessantly slaughtered in match after match, and he grew increasingly more frustrated as he was torn to pieces by two children whose combined ages barely reached his own. Eventually, I sat back and let my sister not only beat him on her own, but beat him while simultaneously giving him instructions on how to do better (e.g. "Don't open that door, Seth, I'm behind it!")
Around lunch-time, we realized that my cousin was nowhere to be found. After a little searching, we found him in my room with the door shut, practicing in single player while everyone else ate lunch so that he could defeat my little sister when we came back in to play.
He never won a single match against her. I have rarely been more proud of my little sister.
[Just going to interject here because this week we recieved at least a dozen stories about the heartbreak when a family member erases your hard-earned save files. A unique kind of betrayal where you cry your eyes out while the offender has no idea what they did, unable to understand the suffering they caused. Unlockables were re-locked, quests were un-completed, and entire graveyards were filled with rare lvl. 100 Pokemon. However, this e-mail broke the mold, it's the only story written from the perspective of the culprit themselves, and that's special. -Ed.]
Back when I was 12 I received a PS2 for my birthday and one of the games I got for it was Final Fantasy X. I had played through most of the game when my sister wanted to start a game on it as well. We only had 1 memory card so we made sure we were careful when saving. One weekend my sister was out of town and I was playing when I accidentally saved over her saves thinking there were mine. By the time I realized it was too late. They were gone forever.
Because she was going to be gone for the next three days, I ended up starting a brand new game and played nonstop trying to get back to the spot where she was (which was at Zanarkand after Gagazet, pretty far in). I managed to make it there with hours to spare and she never suspected a thing even though her characters were stronger than when she last played. She still doesn't know the ordeal I went through to this day. I bought a new memory card the next day.
Okay so when I was about 11 years old I was playing Mortal Kombat: Deception on my Xbox. I was playing the Konquest mode and I had been stuck on one fight towards the end of the game for a solid hour and a half. Eventually I got mad and threw my controller at the wall, which completely destroyed it on impact. We had just moved into our house at the time so my Xbox and TV were sitting on a crate in my room. My brother came home, found the broken controller and gave me a huge lecture on controlling my anger. So a few minutes later he decided to play Need For Speed: Underground. He lost ONE race and Spartan kicked my TV off of the crate it was sitting on. Needless to say I was pissed but was laughing too hard to do anything about it.
Family matters, right folks? For next week's edition of Pwn Up, we want to hear about your WTF Moments. Did you stumble across a yiff pile at your last con? Did you pick up a hitchhiker who thought he was Captain Olimar? Did an online gaming experiece weird you out in such a profound way you're still scratching your head?

The first week of fall practice for Jim Mora and the UCLA football team has gone smoothly thus far. It's a continued progression for this program—as it hopes to feature in a BCS bowl game for the first time since 1999.
In terms of position battles, there aren't too many. I'd say that this is truly indicative of the depth Mora and staff have built up.
Detailed below will be various storylines thus far from camp. It will include an injury update, suspension news, schematic changes, positional changes and more.
Suspensions of 3 Freshmen
As the team began practice in San Bernardino this past Monday, some bad news broke in regards to three incoming freshmen.
Wide receiver Jordan Lasley, linebacker Dwight Williams and quarterback Aaron Sharp have all been suspended due to what Mora termed as "not living up to the standards that we're looking for during the summer months."
Will UCLA win the Pac-12 South in 2014?
The trio is unable to participate in the fall camp and will rejoin the team after UCLA's opening game versus Virginia.
This development certainly isn't a positive by any stretch. Williams, Lasley and Sharp will now be put behind the proverbial eight ball in terms of learning not only the system and schemes but also how the program operates. Fortunately for the Bruins, none of the freshmen were considered potential contributors this year.
Injury Update
There haven't been many injuries occurring during the camp. However, Mora did deliver some news publicly about various members of the team not participating at all in San Bernardino.
Both Darren Andrews and Johnny Johnson are out for the season, reported by Jack Wang of the Los Angeles Daily News. Andrews will undergo microfracture knee surgery, while Johnson will sit out another season due to shoulder ailments. Ian Taubler has also retired due to injury.
Tackle Simon Goines will undergo minor ankle surgery, according to Chris Foster of the Los Angeles Times.
It's been a frustrating last few seasons for the talented lineman. Goines has been beset by both knee and ankle injuries for the duration of his time in Westwood. At the beginning of camp in San Bernardino, he sat out the first few days as a means of precaution. Apparently, the rest didn't make much of a difference.
Goines was projected by many as the potential starting right tackle. However, the development of Caleb Benenoch has helped to assuage any possible concerns at the position. Conor McDermott, Poasi Moala and Ben Wysocki are also all capable of manning the position, if need be.
Freshman linebacker Cameron Griffin suffered a separated shoulder earlier in the week. Ryan Kartje of the Orange County Register reported that the potential prognosis doesn't look too good.
Aside from a few nicks and bruises, Griffin has sustained the only serious injury in camp up to this point.
A New Left Tackle?
Benenoch began the camp at left tackle, with transfer Malcolm Bunche slotted in at left guard.
As the week progressed, Bunche slid over to left tackle—and apparently has won the job. Offensive line coach Adrian Klemm was very effusive in his praise of the veteran lineman.
As Klemm said, "he seems very comfortable at the position. He's a grown man, he's mature and a lot different than the other guys. He's a joy to have in the room."
Malcolm Bunche got his first reps at LT today. OL coach Adrian Klemm likes him there for now. Called him a "mauler," vs P12's finesse guys.— Jack Wang (@thejackwang) August 7, 2014
Bunche truly does offer UCLA a great deal of flexibility. During his time at Miami, he competed at both guard and tackle. Based on the injury situation, he could slot in realistically anywhere on the line, save for center. As a fifth-year senior, he's also providing a veteran presence for a relatively young group.
UCLA OL coach Adrian Klemm on Miami transfer Malcolm Bunche: "I think we found our left tackle."— Ryan Kartje (@Ryan_Kartje) August 7, 2014
Starting defensive tackle Eddie Vanderdoes called Bunche "a monster with dad strength." At 6'7" and 327 pounds, he's the biggest offensive lineman on the roster.
Defensive Scheme Change?
It appears as if UCLA will be "more multiple" when it comes to a defensive scheme this upcoming year. This is necessitated by the strengths of the roster.
In 2013, the base defense was a 3-4. The Bruins operated out of it most of the time in order to maximize the ability of pass-rushers such as Cassius Marsh and Anthony Barr.
Nothing like a little Myles Jack to get you ready for some UCLA football. pic.twitter.com/03IKj6KzHy— Bruin Report Online (@BruinReport) August 6, 2014
There's a dearth of pure pass-rushers currently on the team. However, the defensive line is absolutely loaded up front. A quartet of Vanderdoes, Ellis McCarthy, Owamagbe Odighizuwa and Kenny Clark likely ranks as one of the best in the entire country.
In nickel situations, UCLA could opt to use linebackers Kenny Orjioke and Deon Hollins in rushing roles off the edge (similar to that of Barr last year). Additionally, the versatility of McCarthy and Vanderdoes also allows for UCLA to run a 3-3-5.
In the secondary, look for sophomores Tahaan Goodman and Priest Willis to battle it out for the "fifth" starting spot in the secondary.
Freshmen Standouts
Of the true freshmen in camp, several have flashed their big-time abilities from high school.
Wide receivers coach Eric Yarber believes that wide receiver Alex Van Dyke can figure into the mix as a red-zone target. Yarber also has been impressed with Van Dyke's speed and quickness. Kartje too feels as if Van Dyke has a lot of potential.
Two freshmen who seem to have clear paths to playing time: Matt Dickerson and Jaleel Wadood. Both on 2nd team D to start today.— Ryan Kartje (@Ryan_Kartje) August 4, 2014
Ed Lewis of BruinSportsReport has been very high on defensive back Jaleel Wadood. Linebacker Kenny Young has also impressed. His hitting ability has been noted, despite the lack of full pads thus far in practice.
Vanderdoes gushed about defensive end Matt Dickerson, speaking about his pass-rushing abilities and overall size. He likened the Serra High School product to "a bigger Cassius Marsh."
With the transfer of Kylie Fitts, I'd assume that Dickerson will see time right away in the rotation.
Position Changes
There have been a few notable positional changes throughout the roster.
Slot receiver Jalen Ortiz has switched over to corner in order to add both depth and speed to the secondary. Safety Tyler Foreman has moved to outside linebacker, and Taylor Lagace has moved to fullback from his outside linebacker spot.
When defensive backs coach Demetrice Martin told Adarius Pickett he was switching to RB, Pickett said, "I'll leave here the starter." #UCLA— Jack Wang (@thejackwang) August 9, 2014
Perhaps the most intriguing move is freshman Adarius Pickett, switching from cornerback to running back. In high school, Pickett was an outstanding tailback. He displayed impressive vision, patience and explosiveness.
When looking at Pickett physically, he's got a bulky, yet powerful lower body. As he gets older and matures, there could be questions as to how he'd fare as a defensive back.
By switching over to tailback, he provides UCLA with the potential to contribute right away. It will be fascinating to watch his development in the upcoming weeks.

Good price for locationThere was nothing extra special about this hotel. However it was a really good price for a hotel near Newport, mansions were only a 5 min. drive away. They offer a good breakfast selection. Right off the main road, very easy to find. Close to everything!Rating:5
Good Value with Clean Rooms near Newport, RIThese folks take pride in providing clean rooms at a good price. We were happy to be there 5 nights. This could be the best value in lodging near Newport,RI and is only about four miles from Newport Mansions on Bellville Ave. The microwave/fridge allowed us to save leftovers from dinner and keep cold beverages.
Travelers tip on saving a few bucksWhen visiting the Newport Mansions, if parking is full at a mansion, you may find parking at the Preservation Society office on Bellville Ave near the Elms mansion. You can also park for $2 all day at the visitors center in downtown Newport if you show the attendant any bus ticket. You can ride the yellow line public trolley all day for $5 per person.Rating:3
reasonable and cleanThe hotel for the price was a good place to stay. It was close to where we needed to be. The room had a bit of an odor when you first went in, kind of musty, but once the air was turned on it was okRating:3
Mixed ReviewWe were initially placed in Room 119 on the first floor in the inside corner of the "L" of the motel. The room smelled "musty" and the lights overwhelmed the curtains to the point where we had to take the comforter off the bed and tuck in around the window to cut down the light. We got moved to a room on the second floor for the rest of our stay which had much less of a smell and vastly less light infiltration. The staff was quite nice about the move and it had been raining consistently for a few weeks before our stay, but it is a low priced motel so they dont leave the A/C on when the room is not occupied. If you want inexpensive with a good breakfast, this is a good place. If you are a little more sensitive, then you should go for the higher price.Rating:5
Very satisfiedIt wasnt fancy, but very clean and comfortable. The managers were very friendly and helpful. The location was good too, near our destination and convenient to stores and restaurants. I would stay there again.Rating:3
Problem resolvedWe had a problem with ants on the 2nd floor when we checked in....they did send someone up to check it out immediately after our call and they were able to move us to another room pretty quickly. I would give it another try because of their quick and acceptable resolution. (However, they did not go the "extra mile" and comp us anything....not a $10 refund or coupon, nothing to express that regretfulness for what happened...and we had a very upset teenage girl with us who could not handle ants all over a nightstand and the rug...)Rating:4
Pleasantly surprisedFor the price of the room, I was very happy with the hotel overall. Clean room, nice staff, great continental breakfast, and only a 7 minute drive into Newport! This is a great value and inexpensive alternative to doing a B&B in Newport and spending a lot more.
Travelers tip on saving a few bucksUse the continental breakfast!Rating:5
Pleasantly SurprisedPrice was right, location was right (close to everything in Newport), room was clean, staff was helpful and nice. Not a luxury room but comfortable. Had a microwave, coffee maker, and fridge. Bathroom needed work (wood instead of a cabinet under the sink) but shower was excellent - plenty of hot water and water pressure was very good. Pool was small but heated and never crowded, closed early though. Breakfast was good but seating limited. No fuss on the number of towels or pillows requested. No elevator so book first floor if you have trouble carrying luggage upstairs. Much better than most bargain chains. Great stay for the price, but if you want luxury, book luxury. We dont spend a lot of time at the motel so price was more an issue than luxury and we espected a lot less than what we got so we were pleasantly surprised.
Travelers tip on local attractionsCheck out Fort Adams, the mansions, and the dinner train. Brick Alley Pub was an excellent dinner on the weekends but lousy during the week. Art gallery on Thames Street has original oil paintings at extreme bargain prices. Plenty of shopping and restaurants. Parking is tough but try not to park at the Visitors Center - they charge a fortune. Bowens Wharf is a nice walk. especially at sunset. Lighthouse cruise is nice but extremely windy (fast ferry).Rating:5
Look no where else. Best place to stay.The front desk employees, Harry and Rita(husband and wife) were welcoming guests with a warm smile:) The hotel was extremely clean. The rooms were spacious with granite in the bathroom. The bed was nice and comfy. The bathrooms were bigger than most 5star hotels. Really. The employee at the front desk, will do everything to make your trip pleasureful. Dont miss.Rating:4
Very clean and comfotable hotel for the priceIf you are not looking for fancy hotel with luxury then this is the best hotel with clean room and friendly service . I would recommend this hotel to all who is visiting Newport or surrounding area.
Travelers tip on local attractionsDont miss the Newport Mansion tour just awesomeRating:5
Well Maintained Hotel Close to NewportFor value and location, this hotel cant be beat. Very well maintained property with friendly desk staff.Rating:4
Cheap Motel to stay close to NewportThe hotel staff was friendly and the rooms cleans. This is a motel and good value for the price.Rating:4
Continental BreakfastContinental Breakfast was included - with fresh Belgian Waffles too!Rating:5
Fine Economy MotelRoom was obviously redone recently. Clean, nicely decorated, plenty of hot water. Very good free breakfast, along with the daily paper. Office staff very friendly and helpful. Convenient location just outside of downtown Newport.
Travelers tip on local attractionsGansett sunset cruise is a must, along with the Cliffwalk for spectacular views.Rating:5
Very niceI wasnt expecting much when we went, but we were nicely surprised. The hotel was in good condition, looked nice, was reasonably priced and the staff friendly and helpful. I would like to have seen the complimentary breakfast start an hour earlier, but I have no complaints about the breakfast. Overall, a very pleasant stay.Rating:4
Nicest travelodge Ive stayed inClean, comfortable. Nice shower. Decent continental breakfast.Rating:1
Worst hotel everI was not expecting a 4 star hotel but I was expecting a clean room It was so bad my 17 year old son who we are visiting college with would not sleep in the bed.We will never stay at a travel lodge againRating:3
Satisfactory place to sleepThe hotel was adequately clean-it was located within driving distance to the beaches and Thames Street shops. The breakfast bar was sadly lacking compared to others we have visited inthe past. There was no fruit on either day we were there. There was only a few tables and we were forced to carry food back to our room in the rain. The pool was tiny, but appeared clean. Adequate place to sleep while visisting the area.
Travelers tip on saving a few bucksThis hotel was a bit more inexpensive than many others. If you plan to just sleep here...it is a good choice.Rating:5
Great for family getawayCheck in/out was quick and easy. the staff was very freindly and helpful. the pool was slighly small but plenty of room for the family and it was heated! The rooms were clean and are equipped with a safe for your valuables. Complimentary breakfast was terrific, something for everyone and a nice area to sit and eat. We will definitely be back. You can not find better value for the money!Rating:3
clean room hard bedthe room is small but very clean .There is a stale oder about the room but we bought a candle and had no further problems.The bed is very hard,but if your looking for a good location for a budget price this is your place.
Travelers tip on local attractionsthis hotel is literaly down the street from newport beach.Rating:2
So SoBed was extremely uncomfortable and the room smelled Funny.Rating:2
You get what you pay for...Wanted a cheap place to stay, and it was in an otherwise pricey area. However, room was small dark and mildew-y. I suspect there are more values for the money to be had.Rating:4
Great value for the moneyIt was very clean and spacious. Not fancy but a great place to stay for the money. It includes a breakfast as well.
Travelers tip on local attractionsIts a hop skip and jump away from Newport. The mansions were a sight to see and a cruise through the harbor was fun. Drive along the 10 mile Ocean DriveRating:4
Good for the moneyThis one was a good value for the money. We enjoyed the continental breakfast.Rating:5
Clean And ComfortableThe rooms here are clean, with the standard ammenities you would expect; small fridge, tv, iron and ironing board, table with a couple of chairs. Housekeeping made their rounds on Saturday morning while we were out and did a nice job on the room. I felt safe here with my wife and kids and felt comfortable in the room at night (it was clean). We could make it to downtown Newport in a matter of minutes and had a wide variety of restaraunts to choose from right next to the motel. The price was right compared to some of the other Hotel/Motels in the immediate vicinity. We would definitely stay here again if we returned to the area.
Travelers tip on diningWe prefered to eat breakfast outside of the motel, there are plenty of places to choose from. They do however offer a continental breakfast. They put out waffle batter for you to prepare your own Belgian waffles!

About The Metropolitan Opera
Founded in 1883, the Metropolitan Opera moved to its Lincoln Center home in 1966.
The opera house was designed by Wallace K. Harrison. Five distinctive arches clad in white travertine form the entrance. The lobby is dominated by a cantilevered stairway, two murals by Marc Chagall, and 11 crystal chandeliers resembling constellations or starbursts.
The two paintings by Marc Chagall decorate the front lobby. On the south wall is "The Triumph of Music," on the north wall is "The Sources of Music." There are also statues by Aristide Maillol and Wilhelm Lehmbruck. The crystal chandeliers in both the lobby and auditorium were designed by Hans Harald Rath of J. & L. Lobmeyr of Vienna. Numerous portraits of great Met artists of the past are on display in Founders Hall, on the lower level of the lobby, and costume and memorabilia displays can be found in several locations in the lobby.

Improving the Energy Performance of Buildingsby Charles P. Ries Oliver Wise Joseph Jenkins
This study examines how policies to increase energy efficiency in buildings in the European Union and Australia have worked and draws implications for the design of similar public policies for the United States. It appears that effective policies to promote energy efficiency can be devised using information disclosure, building codes, financial incentives, and benchmarking. Insights are presented to help designers of analogous U.S. policies.

The "Hundred Years' War" between England and France had broken out for the first time in 1337, but had met a lull in 1347 after the English forces had succeeded in taking Calais. This largely resulted from the arrival in Europe of the Black Death in 1350. This devastating pandemic, now agreed to have been a manifestation of bubonic plague, killed between 30 and 60 per cent of Europe's population. In 1355, however, war was renewed, and the following year Edward III's eldest son, the Black Prince, invaded France and won a decisive victory at the Battle of Poitiers.

Key facts
Rooms that have a modern design are often impressive in their simplicity. But when it comes to using the room it emerges that the acoustics have been sacrificed. The experience in historic rooms it is often not much better: the design elements predominate. The system we have developed provides numerous options for every type of room, providing freedom to adapt to different styles. The ceilings and walls are all brought into play when it comes to improving the acoustics, producing positive auditory and visual outcomes. The acoustic results are proven by the German TÜV Institute, which verified the outstanding absorption rates. In contrast to to other room acoustics solutions, our system creates an optical highlight. The panels are produced exactly in line with your wishes, and your individual needs (such as holes for speakers or lights) are catered for.

State champs South/Mukwonago prevail in Highlander swim invite
Mequon — At the state's largest invite, the Waukesha South/Mukwonago girls swim team made the biggest splash.
The defending state champions secured three individual and two relay titles at Saturday's Highlander Invite en route to a first-place finish in the 16-team field.
Waukesha South/Mukwonago scored 400 points, while second-place Middleton posted 268.5. Verona Area/Mount Horeb finished third with 259.
South/Mukwonago coach Blaine Carlson said it was the type of performance he expected, "for now."
"The girls are a little tired right now," Carlson said, "but they did a pretty good job. A little up and down. For the most part pretty good."
Waukesha South/Mukwonago sophomoreKierston Farley-Sepe won the 100-yard butterfly (57.26 seconds), senior Abby Jagdfeld took the 100 freestyle (51.99) and senior Kaersten Meitz paced the 500 free (4:53.85) by 10 seconds.
The 200 free relay (1:38.23) and 200 medley relay (1:49.72) also went to top-ranked Waukesha South/Mukwonago.
Homestead coach Mark Gwidt, whose team hosted the invite, said the gap between first and second place wouldn't have been as large had Arrowhead attended.
Gwidt said he didn't know why the Warhawks, ranked second in the area by the Journal Sentinel, couldn't attend. He said this was the first time in the 12 years he has headed the event that they weren't there. They told him last week they wouldn't participate.
Warhawks or not, Cedarburg coach Amit Kaul wasn't stunned by the Waukesha South/Mukwonago display.
"They're the state champions," said Kaul, whose team placed fourth with 207 points. "They're coached well. They're the team to beat and probably will be for a while."
Cedarburg's Katie Drabot also didn't surprise Kaul.
Drabot was the only swimmer to win two individual events — the 200 IM (2:03.73) and 200 freestyle (1:50.22).
"She's really talented," Kaul said of Drabot. "I think that it's tough to do those two events back to back and I wanted to see how she handled it. And she did pretty well. She won two close races."
She also helped Cedarburg to second place in the 200 free relay (1:39.43) and 400 free relay (3:39.26).
"They were all good," Drabot said of her four races. "No one stood out in particular."
The sophomore said she was happy with her individual times, setting a personal best by 2 seconds in the IM and finishing less than a second slower than usual in the free.
Last season she typically swam the freestyle in 1:55 and the IM in 2:06.
Drabot said the key to her improved freestyle was executing her strategy, which she declined to detail.
"There's still improvement to be made between now and state. But I think it was pretty good today," Drabot said.
Kaul said Saturday's performance by Drabot, who has competed in Dubai and participated in Olympic trials, was a good indication of her ceiling for this season. Beyond that, he added, it's tough to project where she'll be but he's "excited" for what's in store.
"I think we have a good future," Kaul said. "But she's still probably somebody that doesn't come along very often."

True board flex means true board control.
Thanks to its soft flex and skate-style board feel, the Union Contact Snowboard Binding is Scott Stevens' favorite binding. Feel your presses and bluntslides lock in like never before, thanks to the Asym S2 highback and board flex-enhancing Stage V baseplate design. The Asym S2 highback is super-tweakable in all the right places so you can poke grabs and bone-out slides, but with extra lateral support towards the outside to provide more control when jumping and spinning.
The baseplate makes minimal contact with your board so it flexes more naturally, netting you superior board feel and control. An extruded 3D aluminum heelcup reduces weight while maintaining strength and stiffness. EVA in the footbed absorbs vibrations for a smoother ride. The 3D Direct-Connect ankle strap provides a secure and responsive fit without creating painful pressure points, and the Ultra Grip toe strap is low-profile and cored-out to wrap around the front of your boot for a comfy and secure fit.
- Mellow-flexing binding for freestyle progression
- Softer flex allows you to get loose in the park
- Asymmetric binding for improved comfort
- Minimal board contact allows true flex and feel
- EVA bushings dampen vibration
- Low-profile straps conform to boot
- Item #UNN001Z

- Familiarity: I've put it through the wringer
The Union Contact got a REFRESH this year taking the award winning Contact Pro base design with the mini disc. This means the board feel and comfort gotten from the Contact Pro can now be had in the more affordable Contact too! The solid high back has a great natural flex and gives you the immediate confidence to start ripping. The straps are comfortable and the 2017 Contact has the best color ways of the line in my opinion.
That Scott Stevens colorway, tho
A day in the park
- Familiarity: I've put it through the wringer
The go to binding for Scott Stevens, The Contact, is a binding more on the soft side set up for any park or urban scenario. It is now on the mini disc chassis so that you have 5% contact with the board giving you the most natural board flex underfoot which then creates more performance and strength. The over size eva bushing system gives you natural canting as well has reduces chatter and creates more torsional flex. The mini disc is also compatible with any hole pattern on the market. The Asym highback is tweaked to the lower outside giving you more lateral leverage to tweak that butter or press as far as you can take it. If your looking for that loose truck feel on your snowboard don't miss out, this binding will change your game.

Steve Hochstadt: Once the enforced segregation of black and gay Americans into closets and ghettos was broken, discriminatory ideas have lost their persuasive power.
The Real Culprits in America's Decline Are Shifting Responsibility to Schools and Teachers
Mark Naison: Are 28 percent of the homes in the United States under water because of union teachers? Can they also be blamed for the 44 percent Black unemployment rate in the city of Milwaukee?
Race, Racism and Online Housing
Jessie Daniels: Do roommate matching sites facilitate racial discrimination in housing? if users on the sites engage in racial discrimination, what is the responsibility of the sites' owners?
Faith Predators: Looting the American Dream
Sikivu Hutchinson: The solipsism of the prosperity gospel as vehicle for commodity capitalism mires African-American communities in an endless spiral of dependence on the supernatural.
Why Won't Cities Fight Real State Budget Cuts?
Paul Hogarth: While some may see Jerry Brown's proposal as a "power grab" by the state that tells local governments how to spend their money, the truth is that it can prevent some devastating budget cuts that have been afflicting localities for years.
How Redevelopment Agencies Subvert Democracy
Randy Shaw: As mayors, developers and Agency staff try to fend off Governor Brown's proposed transfer of redevelopment funds to local governments – earning far more media coverage than cuts to programs serving more vulnerable Californians – little has been said about the fundamentally undemocratic nature of redevelopment agencies.
Housing Authority Officials Must Treat Residents with Dignity and Respect
Alvaro Huerta: How, then, does a public servant like Montiel in good conscious evict these needy individuals in the midst of a Great Recession?
Blacks Prison and Unemployment
Sherwood Ross: Slumlords charge exorbitant rents. "Convenience" stores charge higher prices. Military recruiters have their pick of jobless youth desperate for work. And the for-profit, private prisons increase their head count (and income) as the judicial system hands off the young drug peddlers caught in the legal web. As the Kaiser Family Foundation reported, African-Americans fill 40 percent of the nation's prison cells. Yet they make up just 13 percent of the nation's population.
Retail Wars, Urban Sores: A New Jobs Project
If we can defend democracy overseas we can rebuild our decaying Main Streets. This could be a building stimulus project both political parties could respect if we see it as a restoration after a retail business war.

A Visual Guide to Day-Con 9
0 Comments | Posted by Florian Horsch
Welcome to Dayton
In mid-October our friend Bryan Fite aka Angus Blitter invited the community for the ninth edition of Day-Con. Bryan's annual security summit, which we regard as the sister event of TROOPERS, is a pretty good reason to visit lovely Dayton, Ohio.
And so we did… ERNW sent in five delegates. Delegates is Day-Con-speak for all attendees and speakers and such a subtle choice of wording sets the tone for the whole event. People seemed to be really focused and the roundtable-like setting during the talks (see above) provided a cozy atmosphere for in-depth expert chatting.
DayCon VII
1 Comment | Posted by Florian Grunow
Some of us had the pleasure to participate in this year's Daycon VII, three days of Real Hacking and Relevant Content, in Dayton, OH. The event began on September 16th with the Packetwars bootcamp. We had the chance to teach some really promising young students and to prepare them for the Packetwars battle that was scheduled four days later. The students had to go through topics like Windows security, network security and web application security both practical and in theory.

Red House (original 2012; edition 2012)
by Mark Haddon
Work details
The Red House by Mark Haddon (2012)
No current Talk conversations about this book.
I wanted to like this one a lot more than I did, especially after The Curious Incident of the Dog in the Night-Time and A Spot of Bother. Maybe it was just me, but I had to re-read sections to know who was saying what (not sure if I wasn't engaged or if it was the writing). The ending kind of trailed off without much resolution. I wouldn't read this one a second time.
You probably recall the quirky narrative voice from the author's previous book, [b:The Curious Incident of the Dog in the Night-Time|1618|The Curious Incident of the Dog in the Night-Time|Mark Haddon|http://photo.goodreads.com/books/1327882682s/1618.jpg|4259809] (which, full disclosure, I loved). This time around, though, Haddon shifts the narrative perspective amongst his ensemble cast of four adults and four children. I have discovered that I really, really hate when I start reading a bit of dialogue and have no idea who's speaking. (That's actually the primary reason I abandoned [b:Girl Reading|10702453|Girl Reading|Katie Ward|http://photo.goodreads.com/books/1327932980s/10702453.jpg|15612733], it drove me so insane.) In this book, I felt like I kept running into passages like this one: I poured myself another glass of the Monbazillac. As I raised it to my lips something moved in the darkened hallway. Was it the white shoe? My heart hammered, the stimulus rushing through my sensory cortex and hypothalamus to the brain stem, flooding my body with adrenaline. I walked over and found that my coat had slipped off its hook. The problem was, I didn't remember Monbazillac being mentioned, and what white shoe??? Eventually I realized it was an excerpt from a novel one of the characters is reading, so really, it's just put in there to be confusing, as far as I can tell. Grrrr.
And so when I was about twenty-five pages into this book, I was thinking it would be a close call on whether it managed to get two stars from me. The other problem was that for the first quarter of the book or so, I had trouble remembering the relationships. Two adult women and two adult men form two married couples, but one of the women is the sister of the man she's not married to, and I just had trouble keeping it straight. The kids were easier: a teenage boy, rather stereotypically but probably realistically full of hormones; a haughty teenage girl used to being popular but secretly insecure; a misfit teenage girl who's recently found religion, making everyone else a bit uncomfortable; and a pre-teen boy, the kind who begs for a toy sword in a souvenir shop and can entertain himself with it for hours afterward. Perhaps not surprisingly, that last character was easily my favorite: He occupies, still, a little circle of attention, no more than eight meters in diameter at most. If stuff happens beyond this perimeter he simply doesn't notice unless it involves explosions or his name being yelled angrily.
So it took me awhile to settle into this one, but I'm glad I stuck with it. The stream-of-consciousness style is not my favorite; the sentence fragments can be a bit annoying. Judy Hecker at work. Awful breath. Ridiculous that it should be a greater offense to point this out. Arnica on the shelf above his shaver. Which fool did that belong to? Homeopathy on the N.H.S. now. Prince Charles twisting some civil servant's arm no doubt. But in the end, almost despite myself, I found myself wrapped up in the intricate family dramas, in the way each person's secrets implicate others, affecting their behaviors, and changing the relationships. I'd say worth a read, especially given that it's a quick one.
An interesting read. A kind of multi perspective view of a family holiday with troubled secrets emerging. I felt for most of the characters and found it an engaging read.
I wish there was a star level between "I didn't like it" and "I liked it" which covered a feeling like, "meh. I finished it." That would describe this book.
I wish there was a star level between "I didn't like it" and "I liked it" which covered a feeling like, "meh. I finished it." That would describe this book.
Haddon's tone is flawless, so compassionate and detailed and precise that this novel beguiles without cloying, illuminates without demystifying. All happy families may be alike, but oh, how wonderful to witness the myriad unhappiness of the others, conjured by a virtuoso wordsmith.
If you want truly great literature set in an English country house, you still can't beat Wodehouse's Blandings books for deep-core contentment and unbridled comic zip. "The Red House," on the other hand, reads as if it were written to silence those critics who damn Haddon with the faint praise of being too "readable." Mission accomplished.

Wikipedia in English
Amazon.com Product Description (ISBN 0385535775, Hardcover)An dazzlingly inventive novel about modern family, from the author of The Curious Incident of the Dog in the Night-time
The set-up of Mark Haddon's brilliant new novel is simple: Richard, a wealthy doctor, invites his estranged sister Angela and her family to join his for a week at a vacation home in the English countryside. Richard has just re-married and inherited a willful stepdaughter in the process; Angela has a feckless husband and three children who sometimes seem alien to her. The stage is set for seven days of resentment and guilt, a staple of family gatherings the world over.
But because of Haddon's extraordinary narrative technique, the stories of these eight people are anything but simple. Told through the alternating viewpoints of each character, The Red House becomes a symphony of long-held grudges, fading dreams and rising hopes, tightly-guarded secrets and illicit desires, all adding up to a portrait of contemporary family life that is bittersweet, comic, and deeply felt. As we come to know each character they become profoundly real to us. We understand them, even as we come to realize they will never fully understand each other, which is the tragicomedy of every family.
The Red House is a literary tour-de-force that illuminates the puzzle of family in a profoundly empathetic manner -- a novel sure to entrance the millions of readers of The Curious Incident of the Dog in the Night-Time.

LAS VEGAS - In only a few years, smartphones and tablets have dramatically altered how people connect with one another via the Internet. This year's International Consumer Electronics Show, which opens here Tuesday, illustrates how the next frontier centers on using the Web to connect devices.
The long-heralded "Internet of things" is finally taking center stage.
Interconnected devices were everywhere this weekend as journalists and bloggers got an early look at some of the 3,200 exhibitors expected to draw 150,000 visitors to the massive show.
The key is the declining price and increasing ubiquity of all sorts of sensors - thermostats, cameras, motion sensors, and the like - that can be embedded just about anywhere and send data to the Internet.
