The X-MEN: DAYS OF FUTURE PAST Trailer Has Arrived
We recently showed you the first trailer for Captain America: The Winter Soldier, and now we have the highly anticipated trailer for X-Men: Days of Future Past. Wolverine has his consciousness sent back to 1973 to help Professor X, Magneto, and the rest of the X-Men: First Class crew stop the rise of the Sentinels (giant robots) that are programmed to exterminate mutants.
This trailer shows darker in tone this time around, helped by the Hans Zimmer score of course. Will you be checking out the flick? Sound off in the comments!
The film stars Hugh Jackman, Michael Fassbender, James McAvoy, Peter Dinklage, Nicholas Hoult, Jennifer Lawrence, Ian McKellan, Patrick Stewart, Shawn Ashmore, Anna Paquin, Ellen Page, Omar Sy, and Halle Berry.
X-Men: Days of Future Past opens May 23, 2014, watch the trailer below:
Trailer for THE CALL Starring Halle Berry and Abigail Breslin
It's a WWE Studios movie folks! Here is the first trailer for the upcoming thriller The Call directed by Brad Anderson (The Machinist) and starring Halle Berry. She plays a 911 operator who, after taking a life-altering call from a teenager (Abigail Breslin) that's been kidnapped, realizes that she must confront a killer from her past in order to save the girl's life.
They show a little too much for it not to be predictable, but a fun little thriller anyways by the looks of it. Michael Imperioli also stars as a guy whose car gets hit. The Call opens on March 15th.
New Trailer for CLOUD ATLAS
Here is a new trailer for Cloud Atlas, and it's another great one (see the extended one here). The film is directed by Lana and Andy Wachowski (The Matrix) and Tom Tykwer (Run Lola Run) and based on David Mitchell's novel. The all start cast take on multiple roles during different time periods and at different locations – so thank God Susan Sarandon is narrating this trailer or we would all be lost.
The film stars Tom Hanks, Halle Berry, Hugh Grant, Jim Broadbent, Hugo Weaving, Jim Sturgess, Doona Bae, Ben Whishaw, James D'Arcy, Xun Zhou, Keith David, and David Gyasi. Cloud Atlas opens on October 26th.
"Cloud Atlas" explores how the actions and consequences of individual lives impact one another throughout the past, the present and the future. Action, mystery and romance weave dramatically through the story as one soul is shaped from a killer into a hero and a single act of kindness ripples across centuries to inspire a revolution in the distant future.
The Many Faces of CLOUD ATLAS Starring Tom Hanks, Halle Berry and Hugo Weaving
Last week we showed you the fascinating trailer for Cloud Atlas, the adaptation of David Mitchell's novel co-directed by Tom Tykwer, Lana Wachowski and Andy Wachowski. The film stars Tom Hanks, Halle Berry, Susan Sarandon, Keith David, Jim Broadbent, Hugo Weaving, Jim Sturgess, Doona Bae, Ben Wishaw, James D'Arcy and Zhou Xun.

Several of the film's stars will play multiple characters, we have posted some below for you to see, there are more over on the movies official website. The movie which is said to be close to 3 hours and rated R will be in theaters on October 26th. Consider me pumped.
The Trailer for Tom Tykwer and The Wachowskis' CLOUD ATLAS Looks Phenomenal
Well that didn't take long. We showed you the first images from the movie and now we have a trailer, it's unofficially Cloud Atlas day gang!
It's a six-minute international trailer for Cloud Atlas, a movie based on David Mitchell's novel of the same name. It tracks the lives of multiple characters across multiple eras and how they come together in one way or another. I knew the movie was going to be huge in terms of scale and visuals, but wow, this looks like someones messed up dream come to life. They went for it alright, and it's going to pay off beautifully by the looks of things.

Watch the trailer below:
First Look at the Wachowski's CLOUD ATLAS
Entertainment Weekly got their hands the first photos from Andy and Lana Wachowski (Matrix trilogy) and Tom Tykwer (Run Lola Run) co-wrote and co-directed adaptation of David Mitchell's 2004 novel Cloud Atlas (out in theaters Oct. 26)
I'm very excited for this movie, the Wachowski's gave us the amazing Matrix trilogy along with a very underrated gem called Speed Racer (seriously, it's awesome). It will be interesting to see Tom Hanks in this kind of role, from the images below he looks to be fitting in quite well in this massive movie.
The film also stars Hugh Grant, Halle Berry, Hugo Weaving, Ben Whishaw, Susan Sarandon, Jim Broadbent, Bae Doona and James D'Arcy, each cast member plays multiple roles.
A reluctant voyager crossing the Pacific in 1850; a disinherited composer blagging a precarious livelihood in between-the-wars Belgium; a high-minded journalist in Governor Reagan's California; a vanity publisher fleeing his gangland creditors; a genetically modified "dinery server" on death-row; and Zachry, a young Pacific Islander witnessing the nightfall of science and civilisation — the narrators of Cloud Atlas hear each other's echoes down the corridor of history, and their destinies are changed in ways great and small.
In his captivating third novel, David Mitchell erases the boundaries of language, genre and time to offer a meditation on humanity's dangerous will to power, and where it may lead us.

Release Dates For Wachowskis CLOUD ATLAS and SIN CITY 2, Jessica Alba Returning
We have a release date for Sin City: A Dame to Kill For, Robert Rodriguez and Frank Miller's sequel (but it's more of a prequel) to Sin City will open in 3D on October 4, 2013. Mickey Rourke will return to play Marv and Jessica Alba will reprise her role as Nancy Callahan. Rodriguez and Miller co-wrote the screenplay with Oscar-winning screenwriter Willliam Monahan (The Departed). Here is a synopsis via Amazon.
Unbearable Trailer For Valentine's Day Follow-up 'New Years Eve'
The trailer for Garry Marshall's New Year's Eve has been released and left me angry and confused. Robert De Niro…need I go on? I don't tolerate these movies that put a huge cast together leaving most of of them with just a few minutes of screen time all so they can make a fancy poster with pretty faces and big names. They were on the set for half a day filming what is basically a cameo and I'm supposed to be impressed? Jog on.
The cast includes Robert De Niro, Ashton Kutcher, Halle Berry, Jessica Biel, Michelle Pfeiffer, Sarah Jessica Parker, Hilary Swank, Zac Efron, Sienna Miller, Lea Michele, Sofia Vergara, Abigail Breslin, Til Schweiger, Seth Meyers, Jon Bon Jovi, Josh Duhamel, and Carla Gugino.
New Year's Eve opens on December 9th, just in time for…Christmas? Hit the jump to watch the trailer.
Cloud Atlas, The Wachowskis Next Starring Tom Hanks
The next film from The Wachowskis is officially underway with some seriously big casting in the form of Tom Hanks. They will be adapting the novel Cloud Atlas by David Mitchell, co-writing and co-directing with Tom Tykwer (Run Lola Run, Perfume).
Deadline has the scoop saying the novel is a set of six interconnected stories that have very different settings, subject matter and style. So that might be where having three directors makes sense.
Deadline has this synopsis: An epic story of humankind in which the actions and consequences of our lives impact one another throughout the past, present and future as one soul is shaped from a murderer into a savior and a single act of kindness ripples out for centuries to inspire a revolution.
In addition to Tom Hanks, other cast inductions that have not been made official but are likely include Halle Berry, James McAvoy, Ian McKellen and Natalie Portman.
Trailer: Frankie & Alice
Halle Berry's latest now has a trailer; in Frankie & Alice she stars as a young woman in the 70s affected by multiple personality disorder, struggling to keep her racist white alter ego at bay. Berry should be hoping for the Oscar nod as she looks to be doing great things with this one. Frankie & Alice is screening for Academy members and opens in New York and LA on December 17th with limited release on February 4, 2011. Trailer after the break. (more…)

RIP Claudette Colbert | September 13, 1903 - July 30, 1996Father Grear was invited to lunch; Claudette looked every inch the movie star, with every hair in place, except that her condition was at odds with her image: Marie had to feed her. Father Grear was so captivated by her sheer presence that he could not help sounding like a fan: "I only know of one word to describe you." Claudette was intrigued: "What is it?" "Exquisite," Father Grear replied. Beaming, Claudette acknowledged the compliment. The end came on 30 July. Claudette, barely breathing, said, "I want to go home," pointing upwards. O'Hagan stayed with her until the end. Father Grear and the Bellerive staff remained outside her hospital room. Then O'Hagan noticed something unusual: a double rainbow arched across the sky. At the reception at Mortimer's after the memorial service, Marie Corbin, who faithfully served her for thirty-one years, recalled a dream she had after Claudette's death: "I dreamt that she's happy; I saw her laughing." And that is the way Claudette Colbert should always be remembered - happy and laughing.

For the past decade or so, the battle of the desktop computers has focused on two combatants: Microsoft's Windows and Apple's Macintosh operating systems. To be sure, the Windows operating system has overpowered Macintosh on the desktop at about a twenty-to-one ratio. However, a third contender has entered the scene in recent years and has been gaining ground. By some measurements, Linux has already surpassed Macintosh and is now the second most popular operating system.
Linux has been very successful in the server marketplace. In fact, Linux is already more popular as a web server than is Windows. Sixty-one percent of all web servers run Linux, according to Netcraft's June 2006 Web server survey at http://news.netcraft.com/archives/2006/06/04/june_2006_web_server_survey.html.
While very popular, Microsoft Windows has several major weaknesses. For many years, Microsoft's desktop products were plagued with crashes and system lockups. The latest version, Windows XP, is far more reliable although still not perfect. Even XP systems will occasionally freeze at the most inopportune times.
Probably the worst part of Microsoft's products is the large number of security holes. The operating system as well as Microsoft's Internet Explorer web browser and Outlook e-mail programs have been exploited time and again by virus writers and other hackers. In fact, evil-doers have been able to steal data from Windows PCs connected to the Internet. All Windows users need to obtain anti-virus programs as well as anti-adware programs and personal firewalls in order to keep their systems and private information safe. Such additional security software typically adds $50 to $100 or more to the initial purchase price of a Windows computer. Conversely, Macintosh and Linux have experienced a much smaller number of security problems. Modern Macintosh and Linux systems have built-in firewall software at no additional charge and may be operated safely without anti-virus software, due to the increased security of those operating systems.
NOTE: Windows XP does include a built-in firewall, but it is not considered to be as secure as those provided by third parties or those built into the latest Macintosh and Linux systems. Earlier versions of Windows do not have any firewall capability at all.
Many people also question the pricing of Windows XP. The lowest price is $99.00 for an upgrade edition to convert an existing copy of Windows 98 or ME to the newer Windows XP Home Edition. Prices then go up to $299.00 for a complete copy of the Windows XP Professional version to be installed on a new computer that does not have a previous version of Windows on it.
The most cost-effective method of obtaining Windows XP is to purchase a new computer with Windows already installed. Microsoft sells licenses to manufacturers at prices far below retail. You will also find that Windows XP requires much more memory and disk space than the earlier versions; you may need to purchase more hardware power. That increases your expenses still further. Purchasing an entire new system may be cheaper than buying and installing the required software and hardware components separately to upgrade an older computer.
When you add the cost of required anti-virus software and the recommended firewall software, plus the high prices being charged for Windows XP, you may be encouraged to look for alternatives to Microsoft's operating systems. The leading alternative these days is Linux, a "grass roots" upstart that began as a clone of UNIX but now has evolved into a very stable and rather mature operating system. Best of all, Linux is free. Yes, you can legally obtain a copy of the Linux operating system from a friend and install it on your PC. You can even make additional copies of Linux CD-ROMs and pass them on to others, all without worrying about copyright violations. In fact, the producers of Linux encourage you to do so.
NOTE: Several companies use the free "core" of Linux in their products and then add commercial software that they have written to add extra functionality. Those products do claim copyright on their added software and may require payment for their complete "package," even though the included Linux base operating system is free. For the remainder of this article, I will only discuss Linux versions that are completely free for all and contain no extra-cost software.
Linux first appeared in 1991 when Linus Torvalds, a student at the University of Helsinki in Finland, created the very first version of a new operating system for his own needs. This very rudimentary program was intended to run on the 80386 PC of the age. Torvalds was very familiar with UNIX, so he created his new operating system as a clone of the expensive UNIX systems of the day. The name Linux evolved from Mr. Torvalds' first name, Linus, and the operating system he was emulating, UNIX. In other words, it was to be "Linus' UNIX." Torvalds also had the good idea of making the operating system available to others at no charge as he wanted to collaborate with others to improve it. Thanks to the support of the emerging Internet network and the newborn community of developers, Linux went on to become a full operating system. Today its power is unrivalled, and its stability is now legendary. Software developers around the world are still improving Linux for the fun of it, not for monetary gain. The basic Linux operating system remains free of charge for everyone.
Linux is stable, much more so than Windows XP. A properly installed Linux system never crashes or locks up. Also, installing new software on Linux normally does not require a reboot of the operating system. Many Linux systems have been left up and running for a year or more without difficulties, a claim that is matched by very few Windows systems! Next, Linux is less demanding of the hardware. The latest version of Windows suggests you need at least 128 megabytes of RAM memory and a rather high-speed CPU to run even one of today's applications. Even 128 megabytes will result in slow operation of Windows XP, and running two or more programs simultaneously is difficult with Windows using 128 megabytes of RAM memory. Most people purchase even more memory. Linux runs happily on 128 megabytes of memory or less and an inexpensive Pentium processor. In fact, a minimal Linux installation without the graphical user interface will be quite happy on a Pentium 1 processor and 32 megabytes of RAM memory. Adding in the fancy graphics user interface and some more powerful programs will require more memory and CPU power, but still less than that required for Windows XP. Linux is both faster and more powerful than Windows XP, assuming both are running on equivalent hardware.
Another unique feature of Linux is its resistance to viruses. Unlike Windows, very few viruses have ever attacked Linux desktop systems. This is probably due to two factors: (1.) Linux is less popular, so the virus writers don't pay much attention to Linux; and (2.) Linux is inherently much more secure than Windows. There are fewer "holes" in Linux for virus writing scoundrels to take advantage of. If you have ever dealt with a virus in your Windows system, you may appreciate the relative safety that Linux users enjoy!
Linux runs well on most PCs, as well as on some other hardware. There are versions of Linux available for Macintosh, Amiga, DEC systems, Sun workstations, and more. There is even a mini-Linux available for the Hewlett-Packard iPAQ shirt-pocket-sized computer. The most popular hardware platform is the PC. If your PC can run Windows, it can also run Linux. Your eight-year old Windows 98 computer may not have enough horsepower for the latest version of Windows XP, but it will probably be quite happy running a full version of Linux. However, as with almost all operating systems, more memory and higher-speed processors will always improve the performance.
Unlike Windows, Linux is available from a variety of companies and organizations. Therefore, you will find less standardization in Linux than in Windows. Whenever you buy Windows XP, you know that it will look the same as every other version of Windows XP that you find on friends' computers. In contrast, each distributor of Linux is free to modify the "look and feel" and to bundle or unbundled things differently. As a result, there are many different "distributions" of Linux, a variety that may be confusing to the newcomer.
My personal favorite is Ubuntu Linux, which is available at no charge at http://www.ubuntu.com. Even better, a specialized version of Ubuntu has been developed for genealogists. The Linux Genealogy Desktop CD is reviewed in a separate article this week. Other excellent versions of Linux for newcomers (in my opinion) would include Red Hat, Fedora, Xandros, and Novell. You can download any of theses at no cost from the producers' Web sites. However, these are huge downloads that may not be practical on dial-up connections.
If you have a high-speed Internet connection at home or at the office, you can legally download the latest version of Linux from a number of online sites. Typical Linux "distributions" these days require a download of 500 to 1,800 megabytes: enough bytes to fill two or three CD-ROM disks. If you do not have a high-speed Internet connection and cannot find a copy of Linux to borrow, you can purchase a copy at a local bookstore or computer store. In-store prices for a barebones Linux installation run about $5 to $30. Some companies will include extra application software and charge a higher price. Twenty bucks may seem high for an operating system that is supposed to be free, but the in-store packages normally include a printed user's manual of a few hundred pages. The same book without the Linux CD-ROM disks probably sells for nearly the same price, typically $15 to $25. If you download or borrow a free copy of the operating system, you probably will want to buy such a book anyway. In short, $20 or $30 seems to be a bargain for an operating system on CD-ROM plus a good reference manual.
At an even lower price, you can purchase CD-ROM versions without printed manuals for modest prices from a number of disk replication houses, such as Linux Central at http://linuxcentral.com/catalog/?cat[]=lccd&id=C1CIbScuSsACP. Prices run from $3.00 to $15.00, depending upon the number of CD disks required for each Linux version.
If you would like to take Linux on a "test drive" on your PC without having to first install it, try either the Linux Genealogy Desktop CD or else use Knoppix. Both contain Linux versions that fit onto one CD-ROM disk that is booted directly. You do not need to install anything on your computer. Simply insert the Linux Genealogy Desktop CD or the Knoppix CD into the CD-ROM drive and re-boot your computer. It will load a very full-functioned version of Linux into memory and not write anything to your hard drive. Details about the Linux Genealogy Desktop CD are given in a separate article in this newsletter. You can download Knoppix from http://www.knoppix.com or purchase it for $3.95 plus shipping from http://linuxcentral.com/catalog/index.php3?prod_code=L000-489&id=C1Cr5iFAMSoCy.
Keep in mind that Linux was developed by techies for use by techies. Early versions of Linux were difficult to install and use. The newer distributions, especially Ubuntu, have become much more user-friendly. Unlike earlier versions of Linux, I found the Ubuntu release to be very easy to install. In fact, it asks fewer questions during installation than does Windows XP. Unlike XP, Ubuntu automatically detected my wireless in-home network on the laptop computer and configured the network settings appropriately without asking any technical questions. Conversely, installing Windows XP on the same computer required the user to answer a number of technical questions about the network's configuration.
Installing new programs and operating system upgrades is easier on Ubuntu than on Windows XP. However, some other versions of Linux may be exactly the opposite: Linux traditionally has been a difficult system to update. Only the latest versions of Linux have new software that makes the installation of updates an easy project for the casual user. Ubuntu, Xandros, and other versions of Linux based on the Debian platform include especially easy software installation processes.
When considering the switch from Windows, keep in mind the fact that Linux will not run programs written for Windows unless an emulator is used. When you first install Linux, you will only be able to run programs written for Linux. However, many Linux programs can open and read files that were created with Windows programs.
The biggest drawback of Linux, in my mind, is the reduced number of application packages available. However, that is changing daily. You can now obtain free Linux word processor, spreadsheet, e-mail, web browsers, instant messaging, and other programs that are equally as good as their (sometimes expensive) Windows equivalents.
Not only is Linux a free operating system, but most of the applications programs are free as well. You can find high-quality, user-friendly software for many purposes available at no charge. Most of these free applications can be downloaded online. I have installed a state-of-the-art e-mail program, a word processor, a spreadsheet program, and a graphics presentation program on my Linux system, all of which cost nothing and are as high quality as the leading equivalent programs for Windows. In some cases, the Linux programs are better than their Microsoft equivalents.
OpenOffice.org for Linux has approximately the same capabilities as Microsoft Office (Word, Excel, PowerPoint and Outlook) and yet is free of charge. By contrast, Microsoft Office for Windows sells for about $500, depending upon which version is obtained. For a Windows system you need to add in $199 for Windows XP Home Edition or $299 for Windows XP Professional operating system. Anti-virus software will cost another $30 or so, and firewall programs vary from free to $50. Now you can quickly see the difference: a Microsoft operating system plus an office productivity suite will cost you $700 to $800 total versus zero cost for the same functionality on Linux. Much of this week's newsletter was written with OpenOffice.org. You can find more information about OpenOffice.org at http://www.openoffice.org.
I should point out that OpenOffice.org isn't the only free office productivity program; it simply is the one that I use. You can find others as well.
So, what is available for Linux genealogy programs? The quick answer is, "Not as many programs are available." You can only find one full-powered Linux genealogy program for Linux.
GRAMPS (Genealogical Research and Analysis Management Programming System) is the leading genealogy program for Linux as well as for BSD and UNIX systems. GRAMPS has numerous advanced features, including the ability to generate HTML files suitable for uploading to a Web site. GRAMPS is very easy to use, as easy as any of the Windows genealogy programs. However, GRAMPS does not yet approach power of the "for pay" Windows programs. You can find more information about GRAMPS at: http://gramps.sourceforge.net. I also will be writing a review of the latest version of GRAMPS soon.
In summation, Linux is a great operating system for many experienced computer users. This free operating system features rock-solid stability and a lot of good, free software to meet common needs. However, it is somewhat hobbled by limited availability of software for specialty applications.
Is Linux suitable for everyone? Probably not. Computer novices should avoid Linux unless they have a Linux guru available on short notice to help on "support questions." However, if you are an intermediate level computer user, Linux may be a good fit for you if you are looking for a new challenge and want to learn more about operating systems. Here is a suggestion: if you recently upgraded to a new computer for Windows and still have the old system lying around gathering dust, you might want to load Linux on the older system and experiment a bit.
There is a wealth of information about Linux available online. One place to start is at LinuxNovice.org at: http://www.linuxnovice.org.
At home, I have a Linux system alongside my Windows systems and an iMac. I find myself using Linux more than Windows these days. Depending on your feedback and feedback from other readers of this newsletter, you may find more information about using Linux for genealogy in future editions of this newsletter.
If you have experience with Linux, and especially if you have experience with genealogy recordkeeping on Linux systems, you might post a message at the end of this article at http://www.eogn.com and describe your experiences there. Reports of bad experiences and good experiences alike are welcome. Other newsletter readers can benefit from your experiences.

In category theory, the concept of catamorphism (from Greek: κατά = downwards or according to; μορφή = form or shape) denotes the unique homomorphism from an initial algebra into some other algebra. The concept has been applied to functional programming as folds.
The dual concept is that of anamorphism. See also Hylomorphism (computer science)
Catamorphisms in functional programming[edit]
In functional programming, a catamorphism is a generalization of the folds on lists known from functional programming to arbitrary algebraic data types that can be described as initial algebras.
One of the first publications to introduce the notion of a catamorphism in the context of programming was the paper "Functional Programming with Bananas, Lenses, Envelopes and Barbed Wire", by Erik Meijer et al.[1], which was in the context of the Squiggol formalism.
The dual concept is that of anamorphisms, a generalization of unfolds.
The following example is in Haskell:
data Tree a = Leaf a | Branch (Tree a) (Tree a) type TreeAlgebra a r = (a -> r, r -> r -> r) foldTree :: TreeAlgebra a r -> Tree a -> r foldTree (f, g) (Leaf x) = f x foldTree (f, g) (Branch l r) = g (foldTree (f, g) l) (foldTree (f, g) r) treeDepth :: TreeAlgebra a Integer treeDepth = (const 1, \l r -> 1 + max l r) sumTree :: (Num a) => TreeAlgebra a a sumTree = (id, (+))
Here foldTree (f, g)
is a catamorphism for the Tree a
datatype; treeDepth
and sumTree
are called algebras.
Catamorphisms in category theory[edit]
Category theory provides the necessary concepts to give a generic definition that accounts for all initial data types (using an identification of functions in functional programming with the morphisms of the category Set or some related concrete category). This was done by Grant Malcolm.[1][2]
Returning to the above example, consider a functor F sending r
to a + r × r
. An F-algebra for this specific case is a pair (r
, [f1
]), where r
is an object, and f1
and f2
are two morphisms defined as f1: a → r
, and f2: r × r → r
In the category of F-algebras over such F, an initial algebra, if it exists, represents a Tree
, or, in Haskell terms, it is (Tree a, [Leaf, Branch])
Tree a
being an initial object in the category of F-algebras, there is a unique homomorphism of F-algebras from Tree a
to any given F-algebra. This unique homomorphism is called catamorphism.
The general case[edit]
In category theory, catamorphisms are the categorical dual of anamorphisms (and anamorphisms are the categorical dual of catamorphisms).
That means the following. Suppose (A, in) is an initial F-algebra for some endofunctor F of some category into itself. Thus, in is a morphism from FA to A, and since it is assumed to be initial we know that whenever (X, f) is another F-algebra (a morphism f from FX to X), there will be a unique homomorphism h from (A, in) to (X, f), that is a morphism h from A to X such that h . in = f . Fh. Then for each such f we denote by cata f that uniquely specified morphism h.
In other words, we have the following defining relationship, given some fixed F, A, and in as above:
Another notation for cata f found in the literature is . The open brackets used are known as banana brackets, after which catamorphisms are sometimes referred to as bananas, as mentioned in Meijer 1991.

Deadmau5 Dating Celebrity Tattoo Artist Kat Von D
September 18th, 2012 6:59pm EDT
Electronic dance music superstar Deadmau5 has found love with TV mechanic Jesse James' ex Kat Von D.
The top DJ has been cooing about his new romance on Twitter.com, posting snapshots of himself with the celebrity tattoo artist and singer.
Confirming his relationship status in a tweet on Sunday, Deadmau5, real name Joel Thomas Zimmerman, wrote, "Yeah, im (in) love... inb4 I find a f**k to give over the Internet implodes over it... (sic) at least I'm happy!"
Von D called off her engagement to James last year, six months after Sandra Bullock's former husband asked her to marry him.

Note to self cut closer to the darn line. degoose: Thanks, the freehand box started out looking like a flower laid on its side. By the time I was done it looked more like a duck.

Nice looking boxes. Unfortunately, sanding is inevitable, especially with these boxes. A spindle sander (oscillating, even better) is definitely the way to go. These gained great popularity in my family this year. I gave away one this year at the family Christmas and now I have requests enough to keep me busy for the next few months! Now to find 'paying customers'.... :) As far as designs/appearances, I am often reminded by LJ's that there are no "flaws", just artisic variations. Keep it up!! -- If you don't have time to do it right, do you have time to do it twice? |

How To... Your Food Fresh
We all know that making the most of your money is more important than ever. So who wants to spend all that money at the grocery store just to watch it go to waste due to spoilage? Here are a few tips to help you get the longest shelf life out of your fruit and veggies, meats and non-perishables.
Step 1: Check the datesWhen you're doing your grocery shopping, be sure to check expiration dates on all perishable items. Step 2: Look at your fridgeMake sure that your refrigerator is set at the right temperature. Manufacturers' settings usually recommend the temperature be set between 38 and 40 degrees F to keep your food fresh, but not frozen! Step 3: Dry the produceIf you wash your produce before refrigerating, be sure it is completely dry before you store it. Moisture can invite rotting and mold. Step 4: Remove the bagsAvoid storing produce in plastic bags – allowing it to breath will help maintain its shelf life. The bags will trap the ethylene that fruit produces, causing it to ripen faster. You can keep meat in its packaging if you will be using it within a few days. Step 5: Wrap the meatIf you are going to freeze meat, use foil or freezer paper to help preserve it and ward off "freezer burn." Step 6: Store dairy carefullyDon't store milk in the shelves of the refrigerator door, where it is warmer. Wrap cheese in wax paper or plastic wrap, then store it in the deli drawer of the refrigerator. Step 7: Seal berriesStore blueberries, strawberries and raspberries in a resealable plastic bag at the back of the refrigerator. Step 8: Free the bananasKeep bananas on the countertop, unbagged. Step 9: Secure the lettuceAfter you wash your lettuce allow it to dry, then wrap it in damp paper towels and store it in a plastic bag.

Laugh it off. Both my husband and I while we might be big flirts, we would never cheat on the other. Jealousy would be the last thing to cross my mind, it just has no place in our relationship.
I would have gotten angry with my hubby he if didn't tell me about it. Honestly is the best policy. I would have been proud of him and felt very loved knowing that he said no and threw away her number and told me about it all.
It's not my husband's fault he is insanely good looking. I would have let it go and teased him to death.

You heard it people, God decides who Fedor fights! You got a problem with his management now.... I didn't think so! LOL
samboWeak3Sharp | 2Funny | 0Cool | 0
This is starting to follow the pattern of Cro Cop. A famous fighter who has always been reserved towards the media suddenly giving a lot of interviews and talking about things they wouldn't before. Hinting at retirement? I think this is Fedors' last fight.
Also Fedor said recently he wouldn't enter politics till he was done fighting, but he has been nominated to run for election in Russia and has not publicly declined the nomination.
I hope i'm wrong cause i love watching Fedor and CroCop fight....but i think they are both done. -

"It'll be God's will to see who I fight next" Wow, when did Fedor start referring to Vadim Finkelstein as God?

This place is lovely. We usually have 6 children and 5 adults and have never felt crowded even when it rains. It is very well maintain and is just like home away from home. We are spoiled, after coming here it would be impossible for us to rent a cottage at a resort and feel as comfortable. The owners have been terrific. This has become our family vacation place for 4 years. The town of Battle Lake has lovely restaurants and gift shops. The Lake is perfect for children and fishermen alike. every year we take canoes and kayaks thru the channels. Highlight of our vacation.Recommended for: Sightseeing, tourists without a car, girls getaway, families with young children, adventure seekers, romantic getaway, age 55+, families with teenagers.

We have been traveling up north nearly every summer for many years. We have stayed at several resorts and rented other homes for the week, but nothing compares to this home and the lake. The home is beautiful and spacious. We have had up to 18 people there at one time and we have never felt too cramped or closed in. The house is very spacious and gives people room if they want to take in a nap or just to have some time for themselves. With the main floor being so open, one never feels isolated when preparing food or cleaning up after meals. You can always communicate with whomever you need. The spacious deck off the main floor gives us more eating area plus just a great place to hang out and be so close to the lake. Love the gates on the deck. We have children of all ages in our family and it's great that the younger ones can be outside without worrying about them getting to close to the lake. The lake itself is spectacular! It is so clean and clear. I have never seen another like this one. It is plenty big to go tubing on but yet you can find those quiet areas to do some fishing. It's a great lake to take a pontoon cruise on and see all the wonderful lake homes. The past 2 years we have stayed the week of the 4th of July. One would think the lake would be so crowded with boat traffic, but because of the size of it, you never feel like it is too busy, it is actually quiet from what you would expect. The location of this home is ideal. You are just barely out in the country, but so close to town that you can go in for groceries, take in the ice cream shop, shop the small town stores or take in one of the local restaurants. A nice balance of being at the lake but with amenities so close by. The ice cream shop is my kid's favorite!! I would recommend this home to anyone and everyone. The home is beautiful but comfortable. Very well kept. The owners have always been available per phone call or email if we ever had a concern or question during our stay. They make things very easy and that is what a vacation is all about. We hope to return for many more years!Recommended for: Girls getaway, families with young children, romantic getaway, age 55+, families with teenagers.

We actually stayed at the house in January with lots and lots of snow. The owner arranged to have the driveway plowed out for us. The house is beautifully decorated, very roomy with everything we needed for the weekend, including an assortment of games! It was very relaxing - and yes, we did do some ice fishing too! The owners were very helpful when making the reservation and were able to accomodate our needs. I would highly recommend this home.Did you find this review helpful? Yes | No Helpful votes: 1/1

We had a great lake at the week. You have made it so nice with the steps and the fire pit as well as all of the rip/rap along the shoreline. I cannot get over how CLEAN W. Battle Lake is. The DNR shows clairity of 12 - 15 feet for several years. Our group fishes!!! Dick was out every day by 6:00 a.m. - often with our two sons. Right out in front of the cabin they troll/drift back and forth. Must have caught over 100 Northerns - (seriously!!!) as well as walleye, bass, and perch. Another plus is that the little kids can always catch fish right off the dock. The young women in our group took their "floaties" and waded over to the neighbors' weed bed and fished right from the water. We all enjoyed tubing and swimming. My favorite thing, of course, is sitting on the dock with my cup of coffee just watching the water! Went in to Battle Lake on Thursday to the 11 o'clock turtle races. WHAT A MADHOUSE!!! This is a "MUST" event - (at least once!) :-) If we can get our far away family members to commit you KNOW we will be back. Thanks for letting us use your beautiful home.

HERNDON, Va., March 22, 2013 — The PLANET Academic Excellence Foundation (PLANET AEF) presented scholarships and awards to students at the 37th annual PLANET Student Career Days—The National Collegiate Landscape Competition—held March 7–10, 2013, at Auburn University in Auburn, Ala. Since its inception in 1998, the PLANET AEF has given more than $730,000 in scholarships and awards to 720 students. In 2013 alone, the PLANET AEF has given a total of $75,700 in awards and scholarships.
Fifty-two scholarships were presented at a special reception, sponsored by STIHL Inc., which kicked off the event on March 7. A list of the recipients of the PLANET AEF scholarships can be found on the PLANET AEF website.
"On behalf of the entire PLANET AEF Board of Directors, we congratulate the 2013 class of scholarship recipients," said Jim McCutcheon, Landscape Industry Certified, PLANET AEF president.

The President's Scholarship is awarded by the PLANET AEF judging panel, which looks for a student who demonstrates all the criteria set forth by the PLANET AEF Board of Directors and who has high scholastic achievements, industry-related activities, and community service.
The PLANET AEF also awarded the three top scoring Student Career Days students, known as Superstars, a total of $3,000 at the Closing Ceremonies held on March 10:
1st Place – $1,500 2nd Place –$1,000 3rd Place – $500 |
Chase Ricks, Brigham Young University – Provo Alex Nisbet, Alamance Community College Jeff Elshoff, Michigan State University |
Dr. Joseph Eakes, a professor at Auburn University, was also awarded $1,000 as the 2013 PLANET AEF Outstanding Educator of the Year.

Thai inmates perform "Gangnam Style" dance on the stage during the dancing competition at a prison in Bangkok, Thailand Tuesday, Nov. 27, 2012. The event was held to encourage inmates to do more exercise and coincide with the concert of South Korean rapper PSY's "Gangnam Style" to be held in Bangkok on Wednesday, Nov. 28. (AP Photo/Apichart Weerawong)
BANGKOK - A day before South Korean rap sensation PSY brings his "Gangnam Style" to Thailand, scores of inmates have danced to the hit behind barbed wire and bars in a Bangkok prison.
Seventy out of 4,500 prisoners at Bangkok Remand Prison put on a show Tuesday for the media and corrections department executives after competing in a "Gangnam Style" dance contest last week.
Officials said the program was to relieve inmates' stress and help them keep fit.
PSY's "Gangnam Style" this month became the most watched video ever on YouTube. It has spawned hundreds of parodies and tribute videos, including a popular one earlier this year by members of the Thai navy.
PSY will perform in Thailand on Wednesday night — his first show in Asia outside of South Korea.

The novel that took shape put an unlikely pair at its center: An anthropologist and college professor who lived in Africa among the Mbuti and fathered a daughter there, and a young woman released from prison after shooting her wife-beating husband who, as the pastor of a church of serpent-handlers, forced her to thrust her arm into a box of snakes to see if God would spare her. Hellenga deftly guides these characters through wildly different worlds: a Pentecostal church, women's prison, small liberal arts college, timpani music, Pygmies, Freud, Marx, dot-com stocks, and how to make poule au riz (chicken in rice).

Al Capp: A Life to the Contrary by Michael Schumacher and Denis Kitchen
More than a comic and humorist, Al Capp is an iconic figure in our cultural history, as is his popular and widely-syndicated comic, Li'l Abner. A probing and comprehensive tome on the American satirist with unprecedented access to Capp's personal archives and the support of his estate, Al Capp will explore the artist's cultural ascendancy, his deeply-rooted anger and debilitating depression, and his eventual plummet into alienation and reclusion. The story of Alfred Caplin is one of dramatic contrasts—of incredible highs and lows, of popularity and villainy, of success and failure.
Michael Schumacher—author of Will Eisner—-and Denis Kitchen—in possession of what is arguably the largest archive of Capp's art—are uniquely qualified to deliver it.

The Micropreneurial Age: The Permanent Freelancer and the New American Way of Work by Richard A. Greenwald
The American economy, and America with it, is transforming before our eyes. With our focus on the short-term perils of markets in crisis, we're missing what might be the most basic economic shift since the Industrial Revolution. While the ideal "American way" still centers around middle-class family units, home ownership, and 9-to-5 jobs, the 40-hour corporate work week is going the way of the gas-guzzling car.
Nearly 30 percent of Americans work as free agents, temps, consultants, and self-employed "micropreneurs," according to government statistics. The real number may be higher than half—fewer and fewer Americans have long careers with a single employer providing benefits, retirement, and time off. The white collar world is a lot riskier than it was for Baby Boomers—and maybe even riskier than it was during the Great Depression. Few young workers will even know the stability of worklife that their parents enjoy.
The transformation of the workplace into a freelance economy will be as crucial to the course of the 21st century as the shift from farm to factories was in the 20th. There will be critical—and thus far unexamined—social and cultural consequences. Policy, politics, power, and even how we raise our families will be affected.
Business and work historian Richard A. Greenwald has the perfect profile to document The Micropreneurial Age. He is a ten-year veteran of the Associated Press, and also a noted scholar of American business and labor history, Dean of the Caspersen School of Graduate Studies at Drew University in New Jersey. He has written for the Wall Street Journal, BusinessWeek, In These Times, and a host of other publications and Web sites.
The Micropreneurial Age will blend reporting, relatable narrative encounters with the inhabitants of Freelance Nation, rigorous statistical analysis, and a deep understanding of the history of work to capture a world on the threshold of a quiet revolution in how we work, who we are, and where we're headed.

A Color Miscellany By Jude Stewart
In this beautifully illustrated and packaged book, designer and raconteur Jude Stewart unravels the historical, social, and cultural meanings of all the colors of the rainbow, from the green of envy to the yellow of cowardice and everything in between.
Color is a daily mystery we all swim in. In the cartoon strip of everyday life, panel after panel is crammed with colored objects, every blank outline shaded in: pencils, subways, umbrellas, ties, cherries, leaves, smoke. Color is so ubiquitous, it's invisible – until, suddenly, it's not. When we're young, red first means apples, fire trucks, and stop signs. Then we add lobsters, valentines, short wavelengths of light, fire, Communism, Republican states, and Chinese celebrations.
We learn these free associations for every color everywhere. But how do we ever make sense of what we actually see? What color makes our curtains look literary, marital, or like the British empire? In her analytical way, Stewart stockpiles the meanings of what's literally before our eyes, then lays them out for sorting, edification, and visual delight.
In this bursting-with-color book, you'll learn:
• how speakers of Hungarian differentiate between living and inanimate reds
• all the words that rhyme with "purple"
• the complete list of Wittgenstein's impossible colors, such as "gray-hot" and "reddish-green"
A must-have for designers and trivia lovers, this book will stimulate the eyes and the mind in equal measure.
Jude Stewart has written on design and culture for Slate, The Believer, ID, Metropolis, BusinessWeek, Nextbook, Fast Company, GOOD, ReadyMade, and many others. A contributing editor for Print magazine, she writes Colorswatch, a twice-monthly column on color. She has lectured about design at RISD, the Adult Education series in Brooklyn, and the Fachhochschule Mainz in Germany; and been interviewed on NPR's Day to Day and by Brian Lehrer on WNYC. She lives in New Haven and her website is www.judestewart.com.

Introduced by Paul Holdengräber.
When the Shooting's Over. What is the effect on the mind of hellish wartime action? In fiction, how are the experiences assimilated into characters' lives? Short readings followed by a discussion and Q&A. Featuring Susan Abulhawa, (Mornings in Jenin), Feryal Ali Gauhar (No Space for Further Burials) and Chang-Rae Lee (The Surrendered).
Shortlisted for the Man Booker Prize 2010
Julian Treslove, a professionally unspectacular former BBC radio producer, and Sam Finkler, a popular Jewish philosopher, writer and television personality, are old school friends. Despite a prickly relationship and very different lives, they've never quite lost touch with each other – or with their former teacher, Libor Sevick, a Czech always more concerned with the wider world than with exam results.
Now, both Libor and Finkler are recently widowed, and with Treslove, his chequered and unsuccessful record with women rendering him an honorary third widower, they dine at Libor's grand, central London apartment.
It's a sweetly painful evening of reminiscence in which all three remove themselves to a time before they had loved and lost; a time before they had fathered children, before the devastation of separations, before they had prized anything greatly enough to fear the loss of it. Better, perhaps, to go through life without knowing happiness at all because that way you have less to mourn? Treslove finds he has tears enough for the unbearable sadness of both his friends' losses.
And it's that very evening, at exactly 11:30 pm, as Treslove, walking home, hesitates a moment outside the window of the oldest violin dealer in the country, that he is attacked. And after this, his whole sense of who and what he is will slowly and ineluctably change.

GL_MAX_DRAW_BUFFERS indicate the maximum number of buffers in which you can simultaneously draw, not the number you can create. So your problem is not here.
Do you call wglMakeCurrent in each thread in order to use the correct context?

Look for Bundler (http://phototour.cs.washington.edu/bundler/) for the Structure from Motion part (retrieving of cameras position, orientation, ...) and after that PMVS to generate a point cloud of the surface (Bundler gives a script to generate PMVS input from its own output). Then you can try http://www.cs.jhu.edu/~misha/Code/PoissonRecon/Version4.51/ or maybe Meshlab to obtain a triangulation of the point cloud.
There is also 123D Catch (http://www.123dapp.com/catch) that generate a triangular model and a texture atlas from images, but I never been able to obtain as good results as with Bundler + PMVS.
