Eugene Mirman relives the many years he spent in special education, and then reveals his marketing campaign for some well-known geometric shapes. watch
In this election cycle, the Monday morning quarterbacking that takes place after major political events consists less of determining a winner than it does exploring what new Internet memes were birthed.
Nowhere has that been more evident than after Tuesday's debate between President Barack Obama and Governor Mitt Romney — the second of three verbal contests between the two presidential candidates before the election on Nov. 6. (The final debate will be held next Monday, Oct. 22).
When Romney opted to use the unfortunate wording "binders full of women" to illustrate his efforts to create a diversified Cabinet when he was governor of Massachusetts, the Internet latched onto the phrase faster than Felix Baumgartner plummeted to earth earlier this week. By the time the debate was even over, Romney's description had spawned a Facebook page (which had more than 275,000 "Likes" by mid-morning on Wednesday), a Twitter handle and, perhaps best of all, the website bindersfullofwomen.tumblr.com, which features parody photos of everything from Paula Deen riding on a binder to Romney and Paul Ryan holding Carly Rae Jepsen hostage in a file folder.

To Drown in OIL
( From Ecointersect , EIA, EconMatters, Science Monitor, Haver, Motley Fool )
US consumption is trending down because of the slow economy and energy efficiency.
( Read US Mileage Oct 25 )
The strong growth in U.S. crude oil production, primarily attributable to growing volumes of crude oil produced from tight oil formations, has been a major oil market story in recent years.
The U.S. Energy Information Administration (EIA) estimates that U.S. total crude oil production averaged 6.4 million barrels per day (bbl/d) in 2012, the highest annual average rate of production since 1997
, and an 0.8-million-bbl/d increase from 2011 (See Figure 1 below).
This month, EIA is extending the Short-Term Energy Outlook (STEO), forecast period through 2014 for the first time. In this forecast, EIA expects continuing strong growth, with U.S. crude oil production increasing to 7.3 million bbl/d in 2013 and 7.9 million bbl/d in 2014, the highest annual rate of crude oil production since 1988.
These continuing increases in crude oil production are having profound effects on U.S. petroleum balances. A large portion of tight oil production consists of light, sweet crude oil. As previously noted by EIA, growing production has led to reduced imports of light, sweet crude oil on the U.S. Gulf Coast, the leading U.S. refining center. Without sufficient pipeline capacity to move all of the growing midcontinent production to the Gulf Coast, prices of these crudes, such as West Texas Intermediate (WTI), have declined compared to coastal grades such as Louisiana Light Sweet (LLS), reflecting the increased cost of moving the crude using marginal modes of transportation such as rail, barge, and truck. The persistent discounts have spurred many infrastructure changes, including the May 2012 reversal of the Seaway Pipeline, which runs between Cushing, Oklahoma and Houston, Texas. The availability of domestic light crude to U.S. Gulf Coast refineries is expected to continue increasing as pipeline expansions allow more crude oil to move to the U.S. Gulf Coast, including an expansion of the Seaway Pipeline expected to be completed later this month. Growing production is also encouraging crude oil movements to the East and West coasts via rail.
Finally, the choice of accounting convention for measuring liquids production also affects reported output levels.
Domestic field production of crude oil and liquefied petroleum gases, a somewhat broader focus than crude oil alone, totaled 8.5 million bbl/d in 2012, and is forecast to reach 9.5 million bbl/d in 2013 and 10.1 million bbl/d in 2014. Forecast production in 2014 represents the highest level of total field production for all liquids since 1985. ( See graph below )
The problem here is that U.S. and Canadian oil production is increasing faster and producing more oil than Cushing can build extra storage or increase pipeline capacity, and or bring new pipeline projects online from Cushing to Houston. Oil stored at Cushing basically jumped from 30 million barrels to 50 million barrels in 2012, an increase of 20 million barrels which is just an incredible feat, just imagine if there were no pipelines pumping oil to Houston in 2012. In fact, full capacity including shell capacity would have been completely filled to the gills, and Cushing would have to stop accepting oil into its facilities.
( See graph below )
There can be a major pullback in oil prices, we are presently already in the deflationary stage, but you haven`t seen anything yet, because we are increasing production (we currently produce more than we consume each day) around the world as prices are real high relative to demand. What happens when the central bank stimulus stops being effective, and it stops altogether, and the debt issues are finally addressed? That is when the real recession takes hold, and the only solution then to massive oversupply is stopping production. The real question is who stops production: is it North America, Russia or OPEC? The real answer in the boom and bust cycles that play out in oil industry is all of the above, in the end everyone is going to have to cut back production as prices are going to drop like a rock in the next bear cycle in the oil industry.
The weekly EIA report came last week and one of the noteworthy data points was the Cushing, Oklahoma storage numbers. Already at a record, Cushing added another 1.8 million barrels to storage sending total Cushing stocks to 51.4 million barrels of oil in storage facilities at the energy hub.
There has been 6.3 million barrels of oil added to Cushing during the last 6 weeks. To put these build numbers into perspective, Cushing oil inventories stood at 28.3 million barrels for this time a year ago, which is a build of 23.6 million barrels in a year.
Yet we have almost doubled Cushing`s inventories in a year. This points to a much bigger problem with analysts missing entirely, thinking this was just a Cushing log jam problem. This is seeing the trees, and missing the overall forest, Cushing is just a reflection of the bigger problem, there is just too damn much oil sloshing around the world right now with nowhere to go.
The real problem is that nobody ever planned for the US to be producing 7 million barrels of oil every day and rising, there is just not enough demand in the world for this extra oil, so it has to be stored because everyone needs the money these days. And until prices drop substantially, no one is going to cut back producing this black gold.

US and World Demand
Global Crude Oil and Liquid Fuels Overview
EIA expects oil markets to loosen in 2013 and 2014 as increasing global supply more than offsets higher global consumption. Projected world supply increases by 1.0 million bbl/d in 2013 and 1.7 million bbl/d in 2014, with most of the growth coming from outside the Organization of the Petroleum Exporting Countries (OPEC).
North America will account for much of this growth
. Projected world liquid fuels consumption grows by an annual average of 0.9 million barrels per day (bbl/d) in 2013 and 1.3 million bbl/d in 2014. Countries outside the Organization for Economic Cooperation and Development (OECD) drive expected consumption growth.
Global Crude Oil and Liquid Fuels Consumption
World liquid fuels consumption grew by an estimated 0.9 million bbl/d in 2012 to reach 89.2 million bbl/d. EIA expects that this growth will remain about the same over the next year before picking up again in 2014 due to a moderate recovery in global economic growth; consumption reaches 90.1 million bbl/d in 2013 and 91.5 million bbl/d in 2014. Non-OECD Asia is the leading regional contributor to expected global consumption growth.
OECD liquid fuels consumption declined by 0.4 million bbl/d in 2012. EIA projects OECD consumption to further decline by 0.3 million bbl/d in 2013, as modest consumption growth in North America is more than offset by decreasing consumption in Europe. The OECD consumption decline narrows to 0.1 million bbl/d in 2014 as European consumption begins to flatten in response to higher economic growth. EIA projections do not assume any significant deterioration of the economic situation in the United States or the European Union (EU) next year.
Oil Glut at Cushing Storage Facility
The final EIA Inventory report for 2012 : Cushing inventories increased another 4.39 million barrels to a record 51.36 million. All this build in Cushing happened even as the Seaway pipeline began pumping crude from Cushing, Oklahoma to a major U.S. refining hub in Houston, Texas in May of 2012. ( See graph below )
Total Crude Oil and Petroleum Products
US Consumption
Us Inventories
U.S. commercial crude oil inventories (excluding those in the Strategic Petroleum Reserve) increased by 2.6 million barrels from the previous week. At 371.7 million barrels, U.S. crude oil inventories are well above the upper limit of the average range for this time of year.
( See graph below )
US Production
The Rise in Domestic Production
U.S. crude oil production (including lease condensate) averaged almost 6.5 million barrels per day in September 2012
, the highest volume in nearly 15 years.
The last time the United States produced 6.5 million barrels per day or more of crude oil was in January 1998. Since September 2011, U.S. production has increased by more than 900,000 barrels per day. ( See graph below )
A New Era: Growing Economy with Lower Energy Prices ?
In fact, more supply than demand, even with a robust economy, because part of the reason the world economy will be doing so well is all the global enterprises out there producing oil. It's a good business with very high margins when compared to many other industries with the past decade of higher prices.
Consequently, even if the US economy really takes off in 2013 as some have forecasted, don`t look for demand to overtake supply in the equation. The domestic oil renaissance means that we could have a booming economy, and still have more supply than we can use each day. Thus it is actually possible to have an era with a great economy, and even lower oil prices due to the domestic oil boom.
Lower OIL Imports
US oil imports at lowest level since 1999 as trade gap shrinks
The oil and gas picture is improving. The trade deficit for petroleum-based goods alone shrank from $326 billion in 2011 to about $291 billion last year. That's still a big deficit, but oil imports fell by about $24 billion. Meanwhile, petroleum-related exports rose by more than $10 billion. According to analysis of the data by IHS Global Insight, an international consulting group, oil imports in December hit their lowest level since December 1999.
In the four weeks ended Jan. 18, the U.S. imported less oil than we've imported in any period since the year 2000, a level we haven't seen consistently since 1996. It's a product of increased oil drilling across the U.S., and there's a demand aspect as well. Even as the economy has improved over the past three years, the amount of oil supplied to U.S. consumers has fallen.
Over the next decade, it's possible that increased drilling, efficiency, and alternatives could render us almost import-free in the oil market. It's not as crazy as it once appeared.
Leading the decline in imports was an 11.0% drop (-20.9% y/y) in the value of petroleum imports.
The quantity of petroleum product imports was off 7.2% m/m and it was down 17.5% y/y.
( See graphs below )
Efficiency becomes reality
Oil drilling gets a lot of the credit for the declining imports, but declining demand should get equal play. According to the U.S. Energy Information Administration, petroleum product supplied in the first 11 months of 2012 averaged 18.639 million barrels per day, 10.4% lower than 2005. Part of this drop is due to the recession that we're still recovering from, but efficiency is playing a bigger role than many people think.
Usage has dropped since 2010 despite growing GDP, and fuel efficiency standards are playing a role. The Obama administration passed a new CAFE standard of 54.5 mpg for auto manufacturers that takes effect in 2025. This is driving long-term planning, but the reason for better efficiency may be closer to the pump.

When you are truly commited to what you do it doesn't matter what other people think, say or do. You have your game on, you're on the grind and do what it takes to reach the goals of whatever journey you have set onto.
I will embark on a new journey, starting next year (2013), and at the end of it, I hope to become very good at what it hopes it gives me. I remember and still experience my hunger for becoming a better programmer, by passion, and I have absolutely no intention of letting that go. But lately I have found out that, almost everytime I do a File > New > Project, I think about the business values of the code I am about to write. So much code and so many good projects have been thrown out, good ideas, because I have had no clue about which customers segments, channels or partnerships I needed for the project to really fly.
As a developer we all know the feeling of creating nice things, but very rarely any of us ever talk or have a sense about how to make our nice things into a business. I want to be very good at that. Turning good projects into valuable businesses! It might seem very straight forward…like writing code…but like writing code…it's hard and challenging work. There are plenty of great and outstanding developers out there, but there are very few developers who knows anything about driving a business forward, creating value, defining cost structures and revenue streams, or how to set up key partnerships. Becoming good at anything in life, I believe, takes a lot of sacrifice and probably a lot of failure. I also believe that developers need to transform themselves into more business-wise people, so they know how to discuss value and revenue inside a company or within a specific domain.
So this years blogposts will be a lot more about creating value instead of only creating code. I will stay very loyal to the future Microsofts platform and focus only on Windows/Phone and Azure. Furthermore, I will be writing about physcial businesses and how we can learn from them in the face of virtualism. From there on I will find projects/solutions and offer my insights on how to create the value, models and so on.
In the beginning you might laugh, critize me and my findings poor, but I hope, with your help, that I can grow into be a more mature and experienced technical/business evangelist :)
Have a great 2013!

Choosing Green: The Home Buyers Guide to Good Green Homes
Energy efficient, non-toxic, healthy homes are the hottest trend in the building industry. Homebuilders are constructing green homes in astonishing numbers—nearly 200,000 in the US alone in 2006.
How does a home buyer who wants a green home know what to look for, what questions to ask a builder, which green home rating systems to trust, and what homes are on the market? Nationally recognized green-building expert Jerry Yudelson provides answers to some common areas of concern, including:
- Energy-efficient home features
- Solar power
- Water conservation fixtures
- Non-toxic finishes
- Green products
- Healthy indoor air
Drawing from the expertise of dozens of homebuilders, government officials and green home experts, Choosing Green deftly takes the reader through these considerations with easy-to-use tables, charts, maps, score sheets and checklists.
"I find Choosing Green incredibly insightful and chock full of insider's experience. This is the kind of book that will help homebuyer's cut to the chase and leap frog the poseurs towards legitimate green home living."
Preston Koerner
Jetson Green blog
The book profiles green home developments and interviews homebuilders and homeowners around the US and Canada. To help readers with research, the book includes a glossary of green building terms, an extensive resource section and a list of homebuilders, green rating programs and financial incentives. This comprehensive book provides home buyers with everything they will need to make a successful search for their own green home.
Jerry Yudelson is a professional engineer with an MBA. He has trained 3,000 people in the LEED green building rating system, and has chaired Greenbuild, the world's largest green building conference, for the past four years. The founder of a green building consulting firm, he is the author of three books on green building marketing and an advisor to manufacturers, venture capital firms, design firms and developers.

For pilgrims to the uttermost part of the earth, mecca is Parque Nacional Tierra del Fuego's Bahía Lapataia, where RN 3 ends on the Beagle Channel's north shore. It's a worthy goal, but sadly most visitors see only the area on and around the highway because most of the park's mountainous interior, with its alpine lakes, limpid rivers, blue-tinged glaciers, and jagged summits, is closed to public access.
Camping is the only option in the park itself, where there are free sites with little or no infrastructure at Camping Ensenada, Camping Río Pipo, Camping Las Bandurrias, Camping Laguna Verde, and Camping Los Cauquenes. While these are improving, they're less tidy than the commercial Camping Lago Roca (tel. 02901/43-3313, lagoroca [at] speedy [dot] com [dot] ar, US$4 pp), which has hot showers, a grocery, and the restaurant confitería La Cabaña del Bosque.
At the park entrance on RN 3, the APN has a Centro de Información where it collects a US$14 pp entry fee. Argentine residents pay half.
Several books have useful information on the park, including William Leitch's South America's National Parks (Seattle: The Mountaineers, 1990), which is now out of print. Two good hiking guides are the fifth edition of Tim Burford's Backpacking in Chile & Argentina (Chalfont St Peter, UK: Bradt Publications, 2001) and the fourth edition of Trekking in the Patagonian Andes (Melbourne: Lonely Planet, 2009).
Birders may want to acquire Claudio Venegas Canelo's Aves de Patagonia y Tierra del Fuego Chileno-Argentina (Punta Arenas: Ediciones de la Universidad de Magallanes, 1986), Ricardo Clark's Aves de Tierra del Fuego y Cabo de Hornos (Buenos Aires: Literature of Latin America, 1986), or Enrique Couve and Claudio Vidal Ojeda's bilingual Birds of the Beagle Channel (Punta Arenas: Fantástico Sur Birding & Nature, 2000).
The transportation details provided for Ushuaia [1] apply to the park as well.

Welcome, guest
March 02, 2008
Jamie Dinan's York Capital Management has begun talking to potential clients about a new distressed vehicle that will invest in whole-loan mortgages. The fund hopes to profit from the restructuring and resurgence phases of the collapse of U.S. residential real estate.
Jamie Dinan
The fact that the fund will invest in whole loans (as opposed to mortgage-backed securities, like many competing products) is not the strategy's only unusual twist. York Distressed Mortgage Fund will gain exposure to whole distressed mortgage loans by investing directly in a master special servicer, Arch Bay Group. Arch is an Irvine, Calif., firm that acquires, rehabilitates and monetizes subprime and Alt-A mortgage loans. The firm is controlled by York and majority owned by York's family of hedge funds.
In a letter to investors, York said whole loans offer significant benefits over...

(Canton, Ohio) -- The Ohio Lincoln Highway is announcing its 2012 Scavenger Hunt winners. This competition ran in conjunction with the eighth annual BUY-WAY Yard Sale and offers "Fun Things to Do Along the Lincoln Highway" as prizes for three randomly selected qualified entrants.
First place was awarded to Joann Moritz of Canton, Ohio. Second place went to Donna McCaffery of Holley, NY, and third went to Chelle Konst of Columbus, Ohio.
Participants scavenged a list of inexpensive items during their adventures on the BUY-WAY, then sent photos of them for the chance to win prizes; consisting of overnight stays, restaurant and retail gift certificates, free passes to museums, subscriptions and free snacks, and more...all along the Lincoln Highway in Ohio.
First place winner Joann remarked that all the items were relatively easy to find, but that needing the can opener took her and her husband into the second day of the sale, and in the opposite direction of home.
This fun three-day shopping and touring event happens the second weekend in August. It offers bargains for all, and also showcases Ohio's portion of America's first coast-to-coast highway. The "Lincoln" was created by private efforts in 1913 to demonstrate that building paved automobile roads were needed for the country's growing automobile trend of transportation. The Lincoln Highway was built by improving existing roads and connecting them together for "the shortest and safest" path from New York to San Francisco.
Ohio Director MIke Hocker reported that in spite of the wet weather over 1,000 group and individual sales appeared again this year in Ohio. Sales also occurred in West Virginia as well as parts of Indiana, Illinois and Iowa.

WINDERMERE — Ty Tryon finally sold that car, the one almost every young millionaire athlete buys on impulse.
His pearl Cadillac Escalade had a shade of North Carolina blue, 24-inch rims and plenty of bass in the back.
"It was straight out of Rap City," Tryon said.
To understand the rise and fall of Tryon's golf career is to turn your ear toward the car's trunk. The subwoofers' boom used to be the soundtrack of "the next Tiger Woods." The comparisons began seven years ago when Tryon burst on the PGA Tour scene.

'tsundoku' - the Japanese word for buying books & not reading them, leaving them to pile up.
A reading corner…

I think a more appropriate title would have been "Yes, Life Can Get Shittier". Talk about one lousy situation after another, goodness gracious. When we meet the main character in She's Come Undone, Dolores Price, Dolores is a young girl that has witnessed her father abuse her mother on multiple occasions, both mentally and physically. Shortly after, her parents divorce, her mother is sent to a depression clinic, and Dolores ends up living with her strict and very devout Catholic grandmother in her mother's childhood home. And that is only the beginning. We are with Dolores as she is raped by her upstairs neighbor, is mocked at school, and as she battles the stigma that comes with being obese. We are with her when her mother is killed in a freak accident, as she struggles to be accepted by her peers in college, when she quits college, considers suicide, spends a decade in a mental institution, and eventually gets married to the wrong (WRONG) guy. There are a number of other tragedies along the way, and surprise, surprise — Dolores is still depressed. Depressed for 95% of this 550+ page novel. I am wiped out just writing that summary,not to mention reading the darn thing. And since I've given the entire plot away, I hope I have saved you hours and hours of frustration as well.
Don't get me wrong, I enjoy a depressing book every now and then. Heck, I just wrote about how much I loved Jojo Moyes' Me Before You last week and that one was a real tearjerker. The biggest difference between Me Before You and She's Come Undone is that I truly connected with the main character in Me Before You. I cried because I felt emotionally attached and could feel the pain the characters were feeling. I did not cry once in She's Come Undone. Not when Dolores' mother died, not when her grandmother died, not even when she had her abortion (okay, now I've really given away everything!). Connectedness, that is the difference, and that is what She's Come Undone lacked.
Happy Sunday :)

Tears, lots and lots of tears. That is my warning to you before I say, READ THIS BOOK! It was wonderful. I thought it was a tad slow to start, and I'm not sure why, but I'm always initially weary of novels that take place in England. It mostly has to do with all the "mums" and "cheers" that seem forced and out of-place, as if the novel were written by (gasp) an American trying to pull a fast one on me. (I digress…)
Me Before You is about Lou Clark, a twenty-something year old British girl, who loses her coffee shop job, and is forced to accept another position as a home aid to a physically disabled patient. She is surprised to learn on her first day of work that the patient is not a senior citizen but a thirty-something year-old man, Will Traynor, who has lost all feeling below his waist, as well as most of the movement in his arms. Lou and Will get off to a rough start - Will wants nothing to do with Lou and oscillates between ignoring her and berating her. Their friendship slowly blossoms, however, as Lou, a girl that has never even been out of the country, tries to bring life to a man who once lived a fuller life than she could even dream.
I loved this book so much. It was sweet and tender, and much more than just a typical love story. Sure, I cried through the last hundred pages or so, but it was because the emotions running through me were so real. There's also a twist mid-way through the novel that is completely unexpected and takes the book on a real spin. Could not recommend it more, just make sure you have some tissues!

A Hologram for the King is the latest novel from American writer Dave Eggers, who I've had a big literary crush on since Zeitoun and What is the What. The book is about an American business man, Alan Clay, who travels to Saudi Arabia to pitch a hologram teleconferencing service to the king (King Abdullah if you really want to know), in a last ditch effort to pay off his mounting debt, his daughter's college education, and ultimately prove to himself that he is capable of something extraordinary. Beyond the personal story of Clay, A Hologram also touches on the modern day themes of global industrialization, outsourcing, technology and the ramifications of those events on society, namely the people who have lost their jobs as a result.
I thought the book was just okay – not good and not bad. It felt as if I were reading someone's stream of consciousness, wandering around with no clear resolution or end in sight. I think Eggers did a wonderful job describing the main character's constant internal battle, ruminating over what the "right" thing to do was/is. But overall, I much preferred Zeitoun and What is the What.
I am a part of everything that I have read. — Theodore Roosevelt (via alittlecoconuttart)

(3 out of 5 stars)
I had high expectations for this book, I really did. A book about books? META. Mr. Penumbra's 24-Hour Bookstore is about a young man in his mid-twenties (Clay Jannon) living in San Francisco. After losing his job as a web designer (for a bagel shop!), Clay lands a gig working the night shift at a book store that is, you guessed it, open 24 hours a day. After a few nights on the job it becomes clear that this is no ordinary bookstore - the customers are few and far between, and the ones that do arrive in the middle of the night are all very strange and seem to have a peculiar agreement with Mr. Penumbra where they borrow instead of buy their books books. Clay decides to figure out what is going on with the help of some curious friends.
Perhaps my expectations for the book were too high, but the novel just fell flat for me. I was never terribly engaged, especially after (SPOILER ALERT) I found out that all the customers were trying to solve a mystery in the borrowed volumes that… dun dun dun: would reveal the secret to immortality. IMMORTALITY. Guys, I knew I was reading a fiction book. I just didn't realize it was THAT kind of fiction. Also, the article goes into excruciating detail about all the "geniuses" at Google, which I didn't enjoy. It felt like I was talking to an entitled douchebag at a bar that loved to brag about his job at Google. Yes, I've met your type before, no need to meet you again. (No offense to the many non-douche-y Googlers out there!)
Overall, not amazing but not terrible either. If you do plan on reading this book, word of advice straight from the novel: borrow, don't buy. You will not be re-reading it.
The prettiest book I've held, possibly ever? I am transfixed by the shiny gold lettering, the engraved borders and patterns, the thick, beautiful paper it's all etched on. I'm really hoping everyone is wrong about this whole judging a book by it's cover nonsense. Luxury never felt so good.
Well at least it has for the past 5 days. I've been obsessed with the Lizzie Bennet Diaries on YouTube. I just finished the last episode (100 in the series total) and I loved all of it. Please go watch! The acting is superb, the characters perfectly cast, and there are enough "modern day" re-writes of the story line to keep any P&P reader on their toes.
In this modern day version, Lizzie is a mass communications grad student who starts a vlog. The whole story is told through first-person videos, and is charming through-and-through. And each episode is only 4-6 minutes long on average, so very easy to watch in bits and pieces (or 2-hour sittings as I have been doing.)
So what are you still doing, start watching!

Hi, SP193
I have everything done in your guides but game loads and nothings happens, the game is not patched even with modes it doesn't launch and it work on pc emulators. (Kingdom heart 2)
It should work can you see the USB device with uLE if so then check for fragmentation on USB device if fragmented defragement it
Already done before I posted my problem!
Maybe is PS2ESDL using some datas from Free Mcboot, like the ESR files? Still black Screen here
works fine for me and I use FMCB myself
Maybe you don't have a good rip of Game or maybe something wrong with USB device hook to pc run fix on usb device
If all else fails try OPL it can run it too I know
So I close my question.
It's the usb stick from san disk
It doesn't work on sandisk usb sticks. Beware
So I have to use another one thanks anyway
Well that may still work but you have to remove the u3 software and make sure you use the right removal tool for the job
Removing/Uninstalling U3 Launchpad on a PC
is there any way to convert .PDI games back to iso, or at least to OPL format, and then into iso?
PS2DCDMP needs to be rewritten for readability and maintainability, which I had completed partially when I used PS2DCDMP in another project. It'll probably have that missing feature added next.
PS2ESDL itself has got some fixes that it badly needs (Includes performance enhancements)... but I can't ensure that the new EE core is faultless, which is why v0.830 has been delayed until today.
I'm now working full-time daily, so I have nearly no time for even myself. My work on the SMAP driver has been taking the time I've got, so everything else has been frozen.
SP193 use Dropbox instead. It's super easy. Upload files to your public folder on it. It is as easy to install as it is easy to install Utorrent for example, except it's private and you choose who you give your links to, and if you post the link in a forum it can be used like mediafire and anyone who clicks the link can download the file.

Karen Marie Rolstad passed away peacefully at home on November 11, 2012 with Jan Reinsvold, her loving partner of 38 years at her side. Karen was born on June 1, 1938 to Julian and Marie Rolstad, much to the delight of her twelve year old brother Don.
Karen graduated from Bremerton High School in 1956, was a delegate to Girls State and an accompanist for the All State Choir as well as the Modernaires choir at the high school. Karen was awarded a music scholarship to the University of Puget Sound, where she accompanied the Adelphian Concert Choir on tour, was elected president of the national honor society Mortar Board, was a member of the music fraternity Sigma Alpha Iota, and where she received the prestigious Who's Who Among Students in American Universities and Colleges in recognition of her scholastic achievements. Karen earned her Bachelor of Arts in education with a minor in music from the University of Puget Sound in 1960.
Karen was an accomplished musician with mastery of the piano and pipe organ, and throughout her life Karen continued to practice and find her "bliss" while playing both instruments. Her professional calling though was in education. Karen fulfilled a dream of teaching third graders and then realized she had another dream that she needed to pursue which was to be a counselor in the public schools. While at the University of Washington, she was chosen for Phi Delta Theta, the education honorary and awarded a scholarship and earned her Master of Arts in counseling and college teaching in 1962. Karen's approach to counseling was positively influenced by the client centered therapy approach espoused by Carl Rogers, whom she was privileged to meet. Karen began her counseling career at Cascade Junior High in 1963, and in 1968 moved to Hazen High School in Renton where she contributed to the formative development of this newly established school. Karen retired in 1996 after twenty-eight years as a counselor at Hazen, and was elected to the Hazen High School Hall of Fame. She loved her work and was pleased that her students understood and responded to her counseling philosophy. One of Karen's favorite memories is of a student who, after learning of her pending retirement, asked "Who will love us now?" She felt it was a privilege to work with her students and she learned much from them.
Karen traveled a "grand tour" of Europe, visited Czechoslovakia, Hungary and Poland and the former Soviet Union. Karen's favorite countries were Norway and Greece, where she and Jan were able to spend a month in each country. They also traveled to Hawaii and Sitka, Alaska where they studied with a Tlingit elder. After Jan retired in 2005, they joined the Pueblo community in Arizona where they were winter residents. Karen delighted in the community offerings and valued the many friendships.
The family is thankful for the positive energy provided over the last year by friends from South Africa, Japan, Australia, England, Greece/Cyprus, Germany, Canada and the United States. Karen is survived by her beloved life partner, Jan Reinsvold and her most loved dogs Mario and Tomas, and by nephews and nieces, Peter Rolstad, Sara Dotson, David Rolstad and Betsy Prehm.
A celebration of Karen's life will take place on Sunday, November 18th at 11:00 a.m. at the Hazen High school Auditorium, 1101 Hoquiam Ave NE, Renton, WA 98059. In lieu of flowers, you may make a donation in Karen's name to PAWS, Seattle Women's Chorus or Providence Hospice of Seattle. To share a memory of Karen, please visit: https://www.lotsahelpinghands.com/c/657156

Contains realistic air vehicles. They can be controlled with mouse, keyboard and joystick.
Currently it contains these vehicles:
AH-1Z Viper, an attack helicopter with Hydra rocket pods, Hellfire missiles and a 20mm machine gun,
AH-6 Little Bird, a small helicopter with gatling guns and Hydra rocket pods,
MH-6 Little Bird, the same as above without weapons,
Mil Mi-28, a russian attack helicopter with dumb rockets, laser-guided rockets and a pretty hefty 30mm cannon,
UH-60 Black Hawk, a general purpose and transporting helicopter,
and the Cessna 172 Skyhawk, the most-produced plane in the world.
This is part of WAC (WeltEnSTurm's Addon Compilation), the main thread for it can be found here:
R: Start engine.
W, S: Lift up and go down.
A, D: Roll left/right.
Mouse: Aim helicopter nose.
Space (pilot, hold): Temporarily look around in the cockpit.
Control: Switch between third/first person view.
Left Mouse: Fire current weapon (not all helicopters/seats have one)
Right Mouse: Switch to next weapon.
If your server runs with tick 66 (default is 33), the RPM bar will not fill up fully.
To fix that you can either check the box in settings if you are running in single player,
or run "wac_air_doubletick 1" on the server console.
I've heard of games crashing when spawning the Black Hawk, but I've never been able to reproduce it.
If you want to report a bug, please create a post in this thread and specify what went wrong, and include aLua error when possible.
Q: How do I change controls/settings?
A: In Q-Menu/Settings/WAC/Aircraft.
Q: Will you make tanks?
A: Probably some time in the future.
Q: Will you make jets?
A: I don't know. Source maps are too small for realistic jets, but maybe I'll do miniature ones.
Q: Will you add more helicopters and aircraft?
A: First I want to polish the base, then build upon it.
This addon is only available via SVN at the moment.
You need two folders for it to work:
Code:http://weadco.googlecode.com/svn/trunk/Addons/WAC Aircraft/ http://weadco.googlecode.com/svn/trunk/Addons/WAC Base/Note: The Base addon has some stuff you might not like, you can disable most of it in Q-Menu/Settings/WAC.
To use the joystick, you need the Joystick Module.
There are already some user-made helicopters in a separate repository.
To Developers
I would appreciate it if you don't call your helicopters WAC, since they're not included in WeltEnSTurm's Addon Compilation.
Just call them 'for WAC' or something, this would avoid people complaining about me while using stuff not made by me.
You are also encouraged to use dev instead of trunk, as some updates might break your helicopters and
this ensures it happens before I release the update, so you can react properly to it.
StarChick for porting BF2 models
Henner for testing in early-alpha stages
Nutcake for testing
Flyboi for inspiration and porting the A/MH-6 models
I'm doing this in my spare time, mostly as a hobby and because I love flying.
If you enjoy these and want me to keep developing, I'd appreciate a small donation.

The FIFA World Cup came to a close on Sunday, July 11, with a deserving win by Spain over The Netherlands. The match was far from pretty, but people watched in large numbers, including here in the US. According to reports (http://bit.ly/aCZQvB), over 15.5 million people watched the final match on ABC, setting a record for US viewership, while another 8.8 million watched Spanish-language coverage on Univision. There is no doubt the numbers are impressive and had the US team not lost in its first elimination match against Ghana, who knows if that number could have gone even higher.
On the heels of World Cup came news of Thierry Henry, the French soccer superstar, signing with MLS's New York Red Bulls. Without question, the news for soccer in the US has been pretty decent of late. So, it's probably a good time to once again ask the question (paraphrased for timeliness) I posed several posts ago. What will the interest in World Cup and the signing of Henry mean to soccer in the US at the professional level? (more…)

COLUMBUS _ "Dear Mr. President: Get out of Afghanistan!" Uncle Chet read as I scraped maroon epoxy paint off an antique dining room chair.
"Amen to that," I said as I knelt on the concrete barn floor, drawing a curved blade across the wide seat. Try as I might, it skipped along the glossy surface, making little progress.
"Get out now, while the gettin's bad," he read. "And before it's worse."
"This isn't going to work," I said. "I'm going to have to use a heat gun or stripper."
"If you have stripper, go with that," Uncle Chet said. "Goop it on and come back in an hour."
"I'll look in the shed," I said as I arose.
"Do you want to hear this?" he gave the yellow legal pad a little shake.
"Sure," I said. "I've just got to keep moving."
"I understand," he said from the lawn chair, but made no move to come with me to the storage shed -- our little Love Canal in old cans and plastic bottles.
Pennzoil, Brasso, Raid, paint, lacquer, Waterlox, turpentine, mineral spirits, waste oil, antifreeze, red grease, foamy white de-greaser, and of course propane, gasoline and diesel. All the usual smells were there, but I couldn't find StripEase -- methyl-chloride -- that incomparable brain arrester.
I walked back to the barn and took out a heat gun.
"Better get a mask," Uncle Chet said. "And I'm leaving if you're going to use that thing. I've already inhaled a lifetime quota."
"I couldn't find any stripper, except that orange-scented stuff," I said. "And that doesn't work."
"If the can doesn't have a skull and crossbones on it, what's inside is useless," he said. "Tell you what: give me five minutes, then I'll borrow your rowboat for an hour and let you work."
I sat down on the lawn tractor. "So, you've written the commander-in-chief again?"
"Last week, his office sent me an e-mail asking me to sign an electronic birthday card, and this is what I wrote back," he said.
"Let her rip," I said.
"Dear Mr. President: Get out of Afghanistan! Get out now, while the getting's bad, and before it's worse.
"You have no moral way to win this occupation. Yes, you could nuke the country in frustration, but short of that, the resistance will not be crushed," he read. "It's too diffuse, too desperate.
"Afghanistan is a graveyard of foreign ambition. Perhaps an outside power could win hearts and minds in that country, but anyone who comes in with fleet of gunships is doomed, and that's how we arrived.
"You can't bomb your way to popularity. You can bomb your way to respect, but only when your cause is just, and ours is not.
"The Afghanis have done nothing to warrant this last nine years of war.
"Before you say 9/11, Mr. President, remember that not one of our attackers in 2001 was Afghani. Before you say 9/11, Mr. President, remember the Taliban offered to turn over Osama bin Laden if we could supply proof of his guilt.
"Before you say 9/11, Mr. President, I ask whatever happened to this bin Laden, this madman, we are supposedly tracking down? Where is Ronald Reagan's former freedom fighter, who armed his men with $1.97 box cutters and led us into two trillion-dollar wars? Is he dead, except for the occasional, predictable audio tape?
"Or is he alive and well, a director of one of the corporations that has profited so handsomely in the search for him?
"One problem with war, Mr. President, is that it spreads like influenza. Afghanistan has already bled into Iraq, and now threatens to blow up Iran and Pakistan.
"Two wars have brought us nearly to our knees economically. Four would bring down the house and might lead to Armageddon.
"I know, you didn't start this mess, but only you can lead us out of it.
"Please, start leading.
"And, have a happy birthday..."

Stockport 2004. Peter Holmes' dad is mastering his card tricks. His sons are plotting ways of leaving home. His wife has never looked so tired. And something is about to happen that will change all their lives forever. Set over the course of nine months, On the Shore of the Wide World is an epic play about love, family, Roy Keane and the size of the galaxy. It is also a play about recovery.
Our Review:
31 May 2005
My colleague Glenn Meads reviewed Simon Stephens� big, bold domestic family drama On the Shore of the Wide World (see below) when it premiered at Manchester�s Royal Exchange Theatre in April. There, he found it both too long and too circuitous, but noted its ambition and good intentions. Something good has clearly happened in the transfer to the rather more intimate Cottesloe where � reconfigured to have the audience seated in the round as at Manchester � it now emerges as a beautiful, poignant slice of theatrical realism.
It�s true that the style is sometimes televisual in the fractured nature of the narrative�s telling and the fact that the action is telescoped into cross-cutting scenes from the lives of three generations of a Stockport family. But audiences � and writers like Stephens � have been trained by television to absorb information in a different way now, and are far quicker at picking up on the trail of reverberating emotions that this famil...
Latest User Review
126.96.36.199) - 29 July 2005:
The key word in Mark Shenton's review is "televisual" as this is just like watching a rather soapy TV drama. Although the extended Holmes family are put through a range of situations, love, children moving away, grief, frustration, etc I didn't feel that Simon Stephens had anything particularly new to say about any of it. The play is lifted above mediocrity by some outstanding acting, especially from Nicholas Gleaves as Peter, struggling to come to terms with the changes in his previously predictable life. This was an enjoyable way to spend a couple of hours, especially at just �10 for a prime seat, but it will not stick in the memory for long....

Tools used all the time should be simple.
Especially productivity tools, because if they aren't,they waste your time instead of saving it.
They should always be there when you need them,they should get out of your way when you don't.
Few buttons, few features and no configuration. The simpler the better for your productivity.
Tadam lives in the status bar, so it's always just a click away.
Glance at the icon and you already have a sense of how much time is left. Neat!
You know that feeling when you're really focusing on something, then the timer rings and you need just one or two more minutes to finish that little thing?
In Tadam, when the time is about to run out, the app icon starts pulsing, so you know you need to hurry up.
You can do nothing and after three minutes or so, you'll be prompted to take a break
or you can click on the icon and take a break now (or give yourself more time)
Your brain needs rest to stay focused. That's why taking breaks regularly is essential to Pomodoro.
Tadam makes sure you do.
When the timer rings, a big black window pops out, prompting you to take a break. You cannot ignore it. You can either take a break or choose to work a little more.
You can move it — you're still the boss — but it will move back in a few seconds. It's designed to be annoying enough that you will take the breaks you're supposed to.

Stunned. That's the only word to describe the Wheelock College bench and crowd Saturday afternoon when Bay Path College junior forward Jessica Hunt of Madison, CT found nothing-but-net on a half-court shot that lifted her team to a dramatic 69-67 New England Collegiate Conference (NECC) win over Wheelock at Pine Manor College.
It looked as though Wheelock would survive the rally when freshman Caitlin Kerr of Hartford, CT hit a free-throw with 2.2 seconds remaining to give her team a 67-66 advantage. Bay Path wasted no time in getting the ball to Hunt, who squared up and launched the perfect shot.
Hunt, who ranks second in NECC scoring (19.1ppg) and first in rebounding (13.0), steals (3.5), and blocked shots (4.0), literally put the team on her shoulders, scoring 16 of her game-high 35 points in the last four minutes of the game as part of a 20-1 Bay Path run that resulted in the team's first win in the newly formed NECC. Hunt also led all rebounding with 21, the second straight game she has netted at least 20 boards.
The game looked like it belonged to Wheelock when junior Sharrell Brown of Brooklyn, NY knocked in a three to give her team a 16 point advantage with 3:09 remaining. But Wheelock went on to turn the ball over six times to set up the dramatic finish from Bay Path.
Wheelock owned the game for the first half and most of the second, led by the hot shooting of Joy Holliday of Milford, MA, who was 8-12 from the field and 2-3 from behind the arc. The sophomore guard scored a game and season-high 18 points. Wheelock shot 44 percent from the field in the first half to take an eight point lead into the locker room.
Junior Sarah Brown turned in a double-double for Wheelock with 11 points and ten boards while Sharrell Brown was also in double-digits with 10 points. Also in double-digits for Bay Path was sophomore Kaitlin Begin of Weare, NH with 20 and junior Christina Calabrese of Hamilton, NJ with 10.
The Wildcats will be back in action on Tuesday, January 20, traveling to Newbury College in Brookline, MA for a 7:00 p.m. tip-off.

Promotion of the film will go as planned
"While it is studio policy not to comment on the personal lives of actors, Summit is moving full steam ahead and looking forward to this November's opening of The Twilight Saga: Breaking Dawn – Part 2. We are confident that the film delivers amazing entertainment for our passionate fans and general audience alike."
David Cronenberg's latest project with Pattinson
However, despite the difficulties, Cronenberg's new project has been green-lit and is set to star Robert Pattinson in the lead role, along with Julianne Moore, John Cusack and Sarah Gadon. Filming will begin in Toronto and Los Angeles in July of this year.
Pattinson has been attached to the project almost since its inception and, as was the case with Cronenberg's 2012 thriller Cosmopolis, it's largely thanks to the involvement of the highly bankable star that Maps to the Stars has received funding and is heading into production.
Noticeably absent from this cast list is Viggo Mortensen, who was attached to Maps to the Stars for almost as long as Pattinson was. It's likely that the project's spell in development limbo meant that Mortensen ended up with scheduling conflicts that prevented him from staying committed, as the actor has since signed on to produce and star in Argentinian director Lisandro Alonso's new drama.
Hmm, Edward or Caius?
Funny video about 'Twilight' quirks

Pattinson will portray the interrogator who helped find and capture Saddam Hussein
[Maddox's] subsequent book, "Mission: Blacklist #1," is the basis for the new movie. He spoke recently before an audience of students at Oklahoma University, from which he graduated.
"Somebody wants to make a movie about my story – it's very exciting," Maddox told the crowd of about 300 in Oklahoma Memorial Union's Molly Shi Boren Ballroom, according to a campus report.
Maddox said he has already met and gotten to know Pattinson, and is more than satisfied that the "Twilight" hunk will be playing him in the movie.
"He's a great guy. When they brought his name up to me, I had never heard of him before," he said. "I don't believe in vampire movies and stories. I just didn't know who he was."
Maddox said he wore the same blue shirt for months while he searched for the Iraqi dictator near his hometown of Takrit. The shirt has a bigmouth bass embossed on it, Velcro pockets… and bloodstains.
"I've still got it [the shirt.] I think Rob is gonna wear it in the movie," Maddox said.

VOLTERRA, Italy – Feb. 29, 2013 – After the roaring success of Stephenie Meyer's Twilight Saga, fans of the beloved series have been left thirsting for more of her fantastic world and mythology. "Twilight in Volterra" slakes that thirst: set in the real town of Volterra, a sparkling gem nestled in the hills of Italy, this documentary explores the locations Meyer so carefully described. "Twilight in Volterra" is scheduled for worldwide release on March 2nd, 2013.
Three-time Emmy Award-winning director Jason Brown takes you in stunning HD through this beautiful Italian town. Fans can visit the alley where Edward nearly exposed himself to save Bella, and follow Alice and Bella's frantic dash through the Italian countryside in real time. The beautiful and formidable Piazza dei Priori clock tower and Palazzo Viti, which marks the seat of power for the formidable vampire Volturi, give up their historical secrets under the spell of a local tour guide.
Viewers will gain new admiration for the accuracy with which Meyer reproduced this town, even though she had never set foot in Volterra before penning New Moon. From the hints at magic and mystery on every corner to the fascinating traditions of the residents, Volterra is revealed as the perfect setting for vampire lore. It's the glamorous world of Twilight like you've never seen it before – even in the movies!
Produced by Jason Brown and York Baur, this family-friendly documentary is a must-have for Twilight fans of all ages. If you enjoyed "Twilight in Forks" and "Destination Forks," "Twilight in Volterra" is a must-have to complete your collection.

He wins the only 'Breaking Dawn, Part 2' award
"I put on a little weight," he joked to MTV News after the show. "I turned 21, recently, a couple months ago. The drinking just ... it was overboard. Metabolism stopped. It just went straight to the abdomen."
But Taylor planned the stunt because, you know, it's so hard to say goodbye to yesterday, and he just didn't want to take the award too seriously. "One, I was so shocked to find out that the award was being televised. I was like, 'Wait, Best Shirtless Performance is gonna be on TV?' So I was like, I had to do something funny," he said.
