The rope would need to be conductive, such as a metal.
I've built various computers (Including the one I'm on) without any self grounds, while standing on carpet on with the pc on a wooden surface (my desk) and haven't had an issue. As long as you aren't shuffling around much you're fine.
I'd suggest starting by testing the PSU and slowly moving your way up from there and see what happens.
Given that there isn't some obvious misconnection... it's likely either
1) Damage from not having the standoffs previously
2) It's a Corsair CX430, which is known to have a surprisingly high defective rate from what I've seen
Gaming: Dual Intel Pentium III Coppermine @ 1400mhz + Blue Orb | Asus CUV266-D | GeForce 2 Ti + ZF700-Cu | 1024mb Crucial PC-133 | Whistler Build 2267
Media: Dual Intel Drake Xeon @ 600mhz | Intel Marlinspike MS440GX | Matrox G440 | 1024mb Crucial PC-133 @ 166mhz | Windows 2000 Pro
Thanks for all the replies, everyone!
I eventually found out the problem. I had my PSU hooked up to the case fans, but I had done it incorrectly and it had made an incomplete circuit, so electricity would have never flown from the outlet. The computer works now.

5 Unheralded Players Poised to Break out for 49ers in 2013-14
By Phil G ,
The San Francisco 49ers hope to avenge their Super Bowl loss in the upcoming season. However, has this team reached its collective potential?
How can an already great team get even better? Well, through stunning performances by unexpected players, of course.
In every season, teams have breakout players who shock the NFL world. While some are expected to improve, a handful of players come out of left field.
The 49ers are no exception.
While this is one of the more talented rosters, improvements could definitely be made.
Here are five 49ers poised for a breakout season in 2013-14.
LaMichael James had a quiet rookie season before emerging as a key contributor in the playoffs. Backup running back Kendall Hunter went down with a serious injury, which opened the door for James late in the season.
While James played well in the latter half of the season last year, his role will be limited with the return of Frank Gore and a healthy Kendall Hunter.
With this in mind, how did James make this list? Special teams is the name of the game.
He will emerge as a fantastic returner and has already shown flashes of being an explosive playmaker in space. While the 49ers will still use him in situational downs, his role for the upcoming season will largely be based around his ability on special teams.
The 49ers have experimented with this role in the preseason with mixed results. James has had trouble with fumbles, which is concerning, but I don't foresee this to be a nagging issue.
If James is handed the role, he could provide just the jolt the 49ers need on special teams. As many people noticed last season, the special teams unit fell off a bit after a fantastic 2011 season.
In a shocking transaction, San Francisco shipped A.J. Jenkins to the Kansas City Chiefs for Jonathan Baldwin. I still believe Jenkins is a good player; however, I'm much higher on Baldwin, who was also a former first-round selection.
More importantly, this trade opens the door for another receiver to emerge: Kyle Williams.
Williams has always been an intriguing talent in my eyes, but his small stature is concerning. Receivers who fall below that 6'0" threshold usually get banged up, which isn't a surprise.
However, if he can stay healthy, look for a solid season from the fourth-year receiver. He has the speed and smarts to be a nice complement to Anquan Boldin.
In most eyes, Alex Boone isn't a usual breakout candidate. Any Niners fan will tell you that Boone solidified the 49ers offensive line last season.
He was one of those players who came out of left field.
The right guard position was in flux after Adam Snyder departed to the Arizona Cardinals, which left the 49ers to rely on the inexperienced Daniel Kilgore or injured third-round selection, Joe Looney.
The 49ers then decided to make a position switch for Boone. Instead of playing tackle, he would make the move inside to guard.
It's been peaches and roses since the switch.
He emerged into a fantastic prospect at right guard. Some would argue that he deserved a Pro Bowl invite for his 2012 performance.
However, the best is yet to come. He has the potential to be an All-Pro at guard, which was unimaginable two seasons ago.
The 49ers have one heck of a guard combo with Mike Iupati and Boone leading the charge.
The 49ers pass rush waned toward the end of last season, but the Niners could receive a boost from a now healthy Parys Haralson.
Before Aldon Smith was terrorizing offensive linemen, Haralson lined up opposite Ahmad Brooks as the starter at outside linebacker. While Haralson wasn't a versatile pass-rusher like Smith, he was a force as a run stopper.
Haralson would have eventually lost his starting gig, but the 49ers did miss his presence along the rotation.
His return to the defensive line should give the 49ers some needed depth at end in a four-man front or off the edge at OLB. In addition, the 49ers gain another great run defender off the pine.
Haralson may not reach double-digit sacks as a sort of sixth man, but he will make a huge impact for a team in desperate need of some depth along the defensive line.
Ian Williams will look to replace both Isaac Sopoaga and Ricky Jean-Francois at nose tackle for the 49ers. While Sopoaga and Jean-Francois brought some experience at the position, I love Williams' upside.
He is both strong and light-footed for an interior lineman, which should bode well in Vic Fangio's defense. The defensive coordinator is known for loving more agile and athletic linemen at the nose position.
At just 305 pounds, Williams fits the bill perfectly. He can hold the point of attack and give some much needed pressure up the middle of the pocket.
We saw a taste of his potential in the loss to the Denver Broncos in Week 1 of the preseason. He was fantastic at collapsing the pocket and opening up lanes for the 49ers 'backers.
Trent Baalke did a great job of re-signing Williams this offseason before a potential breakout season this year.

Hoop it up, baby! Some sports are just inherently better in HD because of their intimacy with the action on the playing field, and basketball certainly qualifies in that category.
Unlike other sports, too, hoopsters don't wear masks or hats (but thankfully their uniforms cover a lot more than they did in the 70s and 80s). It's even more up close and personal now, as NBA TV has launched its HD channel on DirecTV and Dish Network in time for this week's start of the season.
Judging from the lineup of live games, there's no shortage of playoff-caliber teams on there, though Laker fans (such as myself) might want to keep our fingers crossed that Kobe actually doesn't get traded, since there's eight L.A. contests scheduled. Then again, there are six Chicago Bulls games, and that Lakers@Bulls match-up on Dec. 18 could be especially intriguing. Bryant could be good for 60-plus that night no matter which side he's on.
From the looks of it, there are a good three to four games per week in high-def, so combine that with ESPN's NBA programming and your regional sports networks, if you're a basketball fan this could be an incredible season of watching. Here's the full schedule.

That Harvey's grease?
It was a grease with a petroleum base.
Probably light brown when applied, turns really dark brown over time. That is not supposed to be used for anything other than screw threads, or anything that does not come in contact with rubber components or water.
Need to use the food grade type, the kind that looks like silicone that never hardens, has no smell whatsoever. Much doesn't come in the container but I use it for practically everything these days.
That grease swelled those rubber O-rings out and destroyed them.

about The Tangled Web on Sat Oct 18 18:13:29 +0000 2008
The new location is lovely place warm and friendly. The upstairs knitting lounge and class room is so cozy, I wish it was in my house. The yarn is still the great collection it always has been.
about Down Cellar on Wed Jun 18 18:33:25 +0000 2008
What a lovely spot. It's like a little house filled with yarn. 2 floors, with really beautiful yarn every where. The only problem I had was trying to browse yarn upstairs where the communal knitting table was. I felt like I was in the way.
about Ewe and I on Sat Oct 18 15:00:12 +0000 2008
WOW! Infinitely better that the Bryn Mawr location. The yarn is better, the store is better laid out, and the staff is so much more helpful and kind compared to the last location. Good job guys. I just wish I was closer.
about The Woolly Lamb on Mon Apr 12 17:41:17 +0000 2010
I only gave it 3 stars for selection because they had practically no sock yarn (6 balls), and they didn't have the needles I was looking for. (Boo.)
The store itself is laid out well, and items are well marked. (I love that!)
They also carry needllepoint supplies, and had a basket on the table just for donations of yarn to a local church.
about Knitknack on Thu Oct 13 14:49:06 +0000 2011
Although this shop has a really good selection, it's off-putting to have to be buzzed in.
The door is constantly locked.
The hours could be better, and the prices are standard.

The star looked so elegant in a beautiful, lacy blue dress — didn't you love her look?
Kristen Stewart turned up on the orange carpet at the Kids' Choice Awards 2012 looking better than ever in a feminine lace frock by designer Stella McCartney. While the star usually dresses so edgy, this look was definitely a change — and we loved it! She truly can pull off just about anything she wants to wear.
Pulling her hair back to keep the focus on the frock, the long-sleeved mini enhanced her svelte silhouette and the bright blue pumps were a great touch — they matched perfectly!
Did you totally love her look as much as we did?

British 95th Rifles by Jasbrick
April 13, 2009 posted by Captain ZulooAlthough it's not often that LEGO® custom minifig torsos are hand painted, but rather printed from a digital image, when the necessary care and time is put into a hand painted minifig, the results can be tremendous! Just look at this custom British 95th Rifles soldier - beautiful in every way. This custom even has painting on the uniform arms!
So if you want to find out more about this stunning creation, or just wish to congratulate Jasbrick on his amazing work, sail on over to the Piate forum to discuss this 95th British Rifles custom!

Speaking to The New Paper from China, where they were rehearsing for a TV programme, the pair defended their FHM shoot by saying they were going for a healthy sexy image instead of a sleazy one. But older sister Miko admitted: "We were quite nervous during the shoot as we were wearing skimpy clothes and were worried about wardrobe malfunctions." She added: "It was a full-day shoot and we had to strike very difficult poses that required twists and turns. Our muscles were aching at the end of the day." Yumi also admitted that the duo had concerns that the public might not take to their new image. But she said: "Since we are young, we want to try different looks and styles. It was also a good way to mark our coming of age at 21 years old." By2 were talent-spotted in 2006 at the Extraordinary Singer's Course organised by homegrown record label Ocean Butterflies' subsidiary school, MusicForest. The duo, then students at Yio Chu Kang Secondary School, created a stir when they decided to drop out of school and skip their O levels to pursue stardom. They were sent to Japan, China and Taiwan for vocal and dance training and are now based in Taiwan. Known for their bubble gum pop tunes and cute, sweetie-pie image, the pair released their first album in 2008 to moderate success. They kept their youthful image until last year, when they surprised fans with a sexy look in their photobook 2020 which portrayed them as teasing, nubile starlets in matching bikinis and soaked translucent tank tops. If their aim was to get attention and increase sales, it worked. The New Paper reported previously that at an autograph session in Jingzhou city, Hebei, more than 1,000 copies of the book and the accompanying EP were reportedly snapped up, with one male admirer alone buying 2,000 copies. This time round, the girls' have upped the ante with their FHM Taiwan photoshoot, revealing even more skin. And By2 are not the only female artistes who have gone for a new image, from squeaky-clean to sex sirens. Raunchy new image Many former Disney stars in the West have followed a similar trajectory in their careers, most notably Selena Gomez and Miley Cyrus, who capped her raunchy new image with an outrageous performance on Sunday at the MTV Video Music Awards that shocked many and sparked much criticism. Taiwanese singer Jolin Tsai has also undergone a similar transformation, from her pretty girl-next-door image when she first started out in 1998 to a sultry dance diva in 2003, when she released her fifth album Magic . Mr Colin Goh, 50, managing director of Ocean Butterflies, which signed By2, defended the girls' new image, saying it was a natural progression as they grow up from teenagers to become young women. He said: "There is no deliberate intention from the record label to make them take on this sexy image in the future but we will not rule out the possibility. FHM Taiwan has been very sincere in inviting By2 for the photo shoot, and the girls have been working out a lot lately, so they were keen to show off the results of their hard work to the world. "Their new sexy image will draw attention for sure. "But as long as they carry themselves well and not do anything unacceptable in public, I think it is fine. The girls cannot stay in their teenybopper phase forever." Local music experts say that the change for By2 is a good one and will work for them. Mr James Kang, artists and repertoire director of Warner Music, said: "It is a good thing that the girls are carving out a niche for themselves in the competitive Taiwanese music industry. They might attract more male fans because of that." The 38-year-old added: "There is a fine line between sexual and sexy. If the image they are portraying is sexy and healthy, then there is nothing wrong with that." Miss Low Xin Hui, promotions manager of HIM Music, 32, said: "Changing an image is the key to leaving an impression and drawing attention in the saturated music scene. Every time there is a change in looks or image, the artist might attract a new group of fans or create some news." She added: "I am not saying that it will work, but every change is worth a try. Having some changes is better than being stagnant." But Mandopop fan Joseph Lim, 32, hopes the girls will retain part of their sweetness. He said: "I remember By2 as the sweet young things who went overseas to further their showbiz career and now they look completely different, with their new sexy image. "They are only 21 and are still very young. I hope they will keep part of the innocent image that they started out with."

Budget Process
The Budget Process
The City of Oakland operates on a two-year budget cycle. The budget process is the formal method the City uses to establish its goals, program priorities and desired service levels for the upcoming fiscal period, and identifies the resources necessary to achieve them. In this process, the projected revenue must balance with the expenditure, and the budget must be adopted on or before June 30. Essentially, it is a process through which policy is made, programs are articulated, and resources are identified in order to put them into effect.
The budget process consists of several important stages: 1) Budget Development, 2) Budget Adoption, and 3) Budget Amendment.
Budget Development
Baseline Development | The Budget Office begins the budget development process by working with departments and agencies on baseline revenue and expenditures—taking into account the latest applicable regulations, federal and state budget impacts, debt payment schedule, economic projections, outstanding obligations, and projected retirement and health care costs. |
Special Budget Workshop | On April 2, the City Council will hold a Budget Development Workshop to provide the City Council and the Oakland community with an overview of the current status of the City budget and other information that will help establish the baseline conditions relevant to development of the FY2013-15 Proposed Budget. The Administration will present the State of the Budget; an overview of economic indicators and trends; revenue analysis and projections, including a five-year forecast; various police costing scenarios; and alternative scenarios if ballot measures are passed (Measure Y and the Wildfire Assessment District). |
Proposed Policy Budget Released | The week of April 15, the Mayor and City Administrator release the FY 2013-15 Proposed Policy Budget Several scenarios will be presented for consideration. The document will be available on City's website. |
Proposed Budget Presented to City Council | On April 30, Mayor Quan and the City Administrator formally present the Proposed FY 2013-15 Budget to the City Council. |
May: | Budget Town Hall Meetings and Community Input Throughout the month of May, the City Council hosts a series of town hall meetings on the proposed budgetto discuss the proposals with the community and solicit their feedback. |
June: | The City Council holds formal budget hearings to deliberate and reach final decisions. |
Budget Adoption
By June 30, 2013: Council Budget Adoption | As required by the City Charter, the City Council adopts a balanced budget by June 30, preceding the start of the fiscal year commencing July 1. The Adopted Budget provides two-year appropriation authority for all funds, and first- and second-year appropriations for the Five-Year Capital Improvement Program (CIP). |
Budget Amendment
Apr-June 2014: Midcycle Budget Amendment | During the second year of the two-year budget cycle, the Mayor and Council conduct a Mid-cycle budget review limited to significant variances in estimated revenue and/or revised mandates arising from Federal, State or Court actions. |
Year-Round | The budget is a policy document that provides a comprehensive framework of resource allocations for implementation of the City's goals, priorities and program activities covering the two-year fiscal period. Amendments to the budget may be made throughout the two-year period. Appropriation of new money or transfers between funds and Agencies/Departments requires formal action through Council resolution. Transfers between departments / divisions within an agency, accounts or projects may be made at the administrative level. These transfers can be authorized by the City Administrator, Budget Office, Controller's Office or Agency Directors, depending on the nature of the transfer. |

Burn Permits Needed
Cal Fire reports you will need a permit to burn starting Wednesday, May 1st by 8 a.m. in Tuolumne and Calaveras Counties.
Below is CAL FIRE's list of stations were you can get permits which will be available only during business hours, Monday through Friday:
CALFIRE Headquarters, 785 Mountain Ranch Road, San Andreas (closed from noon to 1PM)
Twain Harte FFS, 22978 Meadow Drive, Twain Harte
Station 51, 1950 Hillsdale Drive, Mono Village, Sonora
Groveland CSD, 18930 Highway 120, Groveland
Ebbetts Pass FPD, 1037 Blagen Road, Arnold
Below are Cal Fire's requirements for debris burns:
- Burn permit terms include limiting pile size to a maximum of four feet by four feet (four feet in diameter, and four feet high) and clearing down to bare mineral soil 10 feet from the outer edges of burn piles.
- Burn hours will remain open. Weather conditions will be monitored daily and when conditions warrant, burn hours will be restricted or burning will be suspended.
- Outdoor burning may be done ONLY on permissive burn days. Remember burn day status is determined on the basis of air quality: how quickly smoke will disperse. Therefore, many permissible burn days are very windy.
"Even if it is a permissible burn day never burn on windy days. Remain in attendance of your burn project and have tools and water close by in order to suppress any escape from your burning operation," says Acting Unit Chief Steve Lawshe.
You will also be required to check to make sure it is a permissive burn day. You can find that out easily on myMotherLode.com by just clicking onto the home page.
Cal Fire also urges resident to create and maintain 100 feet of defensible space around all structures.

France was shocked after the discovery of an underfed and dehydrated baby girl who had been forced to live hidden in a car boot, possibly since birth.
The little girl, aged 15 to 23 months, was found by mechanics on Friday when her mother took the car to a garage in Terrasson, in central France.
Police on Monday said one of the mechanics heard "bizarre noises, like moans" coming from the car boot and opened it to discover the girl, who was naked, lying in her own excrement, dehydrated and feverish.
The girl was taken to hospital where doctors said she was suffering from delayed growth and mental problems.
The girl "was hidden, it seems since birth, and more seriously, she is suffering from significant [developmental] delays," local prosecutor Jean-Pierre Laffite told AFP.
The situation "defies belief", he said.
The girl's mother, 45, and her 40-year-old partner were arrested and charged on Sunday with child abuse and endangering a minor. They face up to 10 years in prison.
Birth in secret
The mother told police that she had given birth in secret and hidden the baby's existence from everyone, including her partner, the girl's father.
The couple have three other children, a four-year-old girl and two boys aged nine and 10, who were handed over to social services following their parents' arrest.
The mechanic who found the girl, Guillaume Iguacel, told AFP on Monday that he was still reeling from the discovery.
"I'm still having trouble sleeping, it was a horrifying sight, seeing this little girl in her own excrement, not able to hold up her head, white as a sheet," he said.
Iguacel said the girl's mother appeared to have little concern for her daughter.
"We were deeply shocked because she didn't find this abnormal. We told her to remove the little girl (from the boot) and give her something to drink right away," he said.
The couple, who were both of Portuguese origin and both unemployed, lived in the village of Brignac, about 10km from the garage where the baby was found.
Neighbours told French media the mother had been behaving strangely and was seen spending an unusual amount of time in the car.
"We had the impression this woman lived in her car. She never left it," a neighbour identified as Pascale told Le Parisien newspaper.
"I remember seeing her several times a week with her car parked in a lot about 200m from her home. The boot was always open. I was wondering what she could be doing," she said.

Ryan Zimmerman went Yardo Montalban as he Tattooed the ball three times. Da plane, da plane…is flying right next to Zimmerman's homers! My dear guests! I am Mr. Albright, your host. Welcome… to Fantasy Baseball! Smiles, everyone, smiles! No, seriously, smile, you paid a lot of money for those caps. Since it was a game between the O's and Nationals, they shared announcers (since they share channels). So, the O's announcers said everyone's crazy for Machado, Jones, Zimmermann and Harper and not Ryan Zimmerman or Nick Markakis much anymore, after they were the stars of their respective clubs. Then the Nationals announcer says, "I can't say I know much about Markakis myself." Burn! I'd play that over the clubhouse speakers before every game. Not to motivate Markakis as much to mess with him. Oh, and Zimmerman! Right! Yeah, he had a huge game, and you might remember he goosed me in my nethers last year when I dropped him, because he hit 10 homers in July of 2012. Might be the start of another special run. Anyway, here's what else I saw yesterday in fantasy baseball:
Please, blog, may I have some more?Xavier Paul
They say baseball is a game of inches. When 'they' say that, 'they' are wearing a plaid jacket and flood pants. They also have adult acne. But if baseball really is a game of inches, the Tigers are packing heat in their lineup like John Holmes. So, for all other teams' fans, I ask you gently, Tigers, please don't have good pitching too. I mean, besides Verlander and Scherzer and Fister and Anibal, because that would just be unfair. Yesterday, it appeared they had that with Rick Porcello. He went eight innings with zero earned runs, four baserunners and 11 Ks. After his eleventh K, the sound system played, "Rick's a Jolly Porcello." That is the best game I can remember from Porcello, by far, and I use all of his game logs as toilet paper, so I'd remember. I mean, what else am I doing in the john? Answering comments? Well, maybe. Just keep that in mind when you're asking me who I'd drop. Porcello's xFIP looks solid and his walks have always been stellar. The one flaw in his game I didn't like was his ability to K people. So far this year, his K-rate is up and way up after yesterday. If you're struggling to find a starter, I could see adding Porcello, but there's risk because he does tend to have huge blow ups. Anyway, here's what else I saw yesterday in fantasy baseball:
Please, blog, may I have some more?Much respect to the mothers. Without my emergence from my mother's vagina, I wouldn't be able to bestow on you my fantasy baseball 'pertness. We are one people and everyone has popped out of a mother's vagina at one point, unless you're an alien — I'm looking at you, Andrelton! — and with our emergence from our mother's vagina — or that Cesarean stuff that I don't fully understand — I say we should all live together, loving each other, and never speaking of Ike Davis again, cause he sucks. With all that mother loving out of the way, yesterday was about the worst offensive day I've seen during a full schedule day for rosterable fantasy hitters. I mean, there were a ton of Brayan Pena's and Donald Lutz's doing work, but not a whole lot from guys actually owned. Though, it would be awesome if someone got caught corking their pink bat. Corking a pink bat is like A-Rod growing a mustache. Then the nadir of that offensive dearth (pinnacle of pitching success?) was Chris Sale. He tossed a shutout, one-hitter with 7 Ks vs. the Anathema Angels. Still don't trust him to stay healthy all season, but it looks pretty likely that he's going to be pitching well until his arm falls off. Then, if his arm doesn't fall off perchance, he's going to be a number one pitcher. Anyway, here's what else I saw this weekend in fantasy baseball:
Please, blog, may I have some more?I really don't want to spend much time on Endy Chavez. Which means basically two things. 1) I don't think to much of the guy. 2) The Mariners outfield situation is bad. Really bad. Boy, wouldn't it be nice if they still had a fourth outfielder that could play center and have some pop? Granted, they could have claimed Casper Wells, after the either previous DFA's this past week, but pride goeth before a fall, or so they say. Well, now that I'm thinking about it, if I'm going to talk about Shelley Duncan and Don Kelly in previous iterations of this series, might as well make Chavez feel right at home. Hitting 269/308/367 for his career, that's basically who he is. But he's getting at-bats, so he's filler if you need it. And if you need filler like that, bless your heart.
Please, blog, may I have some more?I've given much love to Desmond Jennings already on this blog, and since what I've previously wrote still works, indulge me for a second, "Desmond's time is nigh, a word that only sounds negative. DJ is currently on the ones and twos for top ranked MLB prospects. He's ranked number one for me. Numero uno. The Big Mahoff. Dora the Explorer, Boots the Monkey and Swiper the Fox all wrapped in one! (What, not street enough?) If he reaches the top end of his ceiling, you're looking at Carl Crawford. More likely, you're going to open up this Crackerjack and get half a Carl Crawford. Say a Carlford. You ain't got the Craw yet, kid!" And that's me quoting me! In 2010, he swiped 37 bags with a .362 OBP in Triple-A. In only 57 games in Triple-A this year, 9 homers and 10 steals. Somebody gag Sam Fuld, put a gorilla suit on him and send him to Africa. We want Jennings. *fast-herpes-medication-side-effect-voice* Fuld should be benched any day now for Jennings' call-up. Or in the next week or so. It's worth the flyer for upside. If conditions persist for longer than 48 hours, call your doctor. Anyway, here's some more players to buy or sell this week in fantasy baseball:
Dee Gordon – Gordon is so fast he just ran into Kitchen Stadium, spit on Michael Symon's head, buffed it and ran out without Alton even noticing. I see no reason why you shouldn't own Gordon everywhere for a few weeks to see if he not only sticks but steals some bases. For more on my Dee Gordon fantasy, see that link. I wrote it while picking out all the strawberry Dippin' Dots from the Banana Split mix.
Please, blog, may I have some more?Actually, the title's completely inaccurate. I don't rock rough or anything with Aubrey Huff. I think he's one of the few players in the major leagues that I've never owned anywhere. Sometime you gotta give me a call and let me know what it's like to own him, loyal Razzball reader. Um, yeah, my number's listed. Under mustache. Speaking of which, is there anything sadder than the people who call you to see if you got a Yellow Pages? Not only am I not sure why they still make Yellow Pages, but calling to find out if I got it? Really? Are they calling from 1987? Hey, go see the movie Wall Street, it's great! So, Aubrey Huff hit three homers and drove in 6. In the last two games, four homers.
Please, blog, may I have some more?

Plain white letters hanging on kids' bedroom doors are so yesterday! Pretty up and personalise your child's bedroom by making a stylish paper-covered plywood letter. Simply follow these super-easy step-by-step instructions to make one yourself. Get creative and choose whatever coloured paper or design takes your (or your child's) fancy!
NB: you can buy plywood letters, pretty paper and spray glue from Spotlight stores and other craft suppliers)
Place the plywood letter on top of the pretty paper facing right-side up. Roughly cut around the shape of the letter, leaving a margin of around a centimetre, to get a rough letter shape.
Place the paper letter right side down onto newspaper and spray with glue adhesive. Follow the instructions on the can, but it'll usually tell you to wait until it's a bit tacky before sticking.
Place the paper letter onto the plywood and press firmly all over so the glue sticks evenly.
Turn letter over, hold firmly with one hand and carefully cut the excess paper off using a stanley knife. Use the letter itself like you would a ruler to cut it perfectly to shape.
All finished! Leave to dry and hang your new pretty letter using a picture hanger on your child's door or bedroom wall.

Bloomberg Terminal
Definition of 'Bloomberg Terminal'
A computer system that allows investors to access the Bloomberg data service, which provides real-time financial data, news feeds, messages and also facilitates the placement of trades. Bloomberg charges a monthly fee, typically in the range of thousands of dollars per workstation for access to its system.
Investopedia explains 'Bloomberg Terminal'
Bloomberg terminals are one of the main product offerings from Bloomberg L.P. and it is one of the most heavily used and highly regarded professional investment systems to be created for the financial marketplace. Institutional investors are the typical customers of this product, since the relatively high ongoing cost makes it unfeasible for individual investors with relatively small amounts of capital to purchase.

Home Languages
A generation's identity can be altered when we stand in the way of children using their home language(s). My hope is that positive changes will come from what we are learning in our generation.
- The demise of the Breton language
"For decades, French authorities have forbidden children to speak Breton in school, punishing and humiliating those who disobeyed. Very quickly speaking Breton became shameful. Few dared to speak Breton even at home and only local elders spoke it fluently. Breton is the only language in history that has declined so dramatically in such a short period of time." CLICK HERE to watch the video.
- Stark lessons in mother tongue
"…failure to provide schooling in the language that children are most familiar with – the one that they speak at home – is a root cause of education failure…" As Margareta suggests on our Facebook page: "If a marginalized group is 'forced' to be schooled in a language they do not have a positive attitude to, their education is most likely going to suffer, with lack of motivation, perhaps even some form of 'rebellion' against that language." Head over to the Facebook page and share your views.
How Does Being Multilingual Change Us?
The minute we make the choice to raise our children multilingually, we are also making the choice to change their lives in more ways than we can ever possibly know. Here are two articles about the way languages can change us.
- Here is a very informative article from The Edge on how language shapes the way we think. Very interesting!
- Does learning a language give you a split personality? And is this true for children growing up with more than one from the beginning?

Transparent Metals for Ultrabroadband Electromagnetic Waves. | |
MedLine Citation:
PMID: 22431279 Owner: NLM Status: Publisher |
Making metals transparent, which could lead to fascinating applications, has long been pursued. Here we demonstrate that with narrow slit arrays metallic plates become transparent for extremely broad bandwidths; the high transmission efficiency is insensitive to the metal thickness. This work provides a guideline to develop novel devices, including transparent conducting panels, broadband metamaterials, and antireflective solar cells. |

Pac-man Pizza Parlor Review
, 12th February 2012 at 01:31 PM (1339 Views)
There is something I have wanted to do for a long time, but never really did it. It's reviewing games. This time, I decided to take the initiative and review a game that I have played occasionally and come up with something. I chose this game because it is a much-unheard game from a popular franchise. Because this is my first game review, I request that you provide your feedback.
Pac-man Pizza Parlor
(Title screen. No, you don't get to know my real name. Thank you, Rename button!)
Even after several years since his debut, Pac-man remains one of the most popular video game characters because his game about eating dots and avoiding ghosts back in 1980 was a very good game that anybody could play, including women. Over the years, the character had partaken in different genres. Some of the games he starred in include an action puzzler known as Pac-Attack, several platform games including Pac-Land and the Pac-man World games, and the traditional maze Pac-man games are known for, like Pac-man Championship Edition. Even though Pac-man may have starred in games outside the food maze he is known for, elements from the original game are still around, like ghosts and fruits. One such genre is the time management genre, made popular by Diner Dash. Do you know that part of Pac-man's design inspiration is a pizza with a slice missing? While I do not know if this was the basis of this game, I find this fitting because it ties to the original inspiration well. Courtesy of Namco Networks, this game was released back in 2010.
Despite having Pac-man's name on the title, the titular character isn't the only one around! As you can see on the title screen, there is a girl named Cathy, who is the main character of the story, because time management games have typically female leads (Cake Mania and Delicious are prime examples). The story, told in comic format, basically goes like this: Cathy's father was working on a night shift one night, when a ghost toppled a box of tomatoes, in which he slipped and hit his head (of course, the ghost took pleasure from it). As soon as Cathy found out about this, her father is sent to the hospital, where he is revealed to still be healthy. Unfortunately, he suffers from amnesia, so Cathy had to be in charge of running her father's shop, with the friendly help of Pac-man after putting a quarter in an arcade machine.
(A gameplay screenshot showing Pac-man in action, along with the different types of customers.
Pokemon anime fans might think the middle customer look like someone)
In the game, you control two characters: Cathy and Pac-man. Cathy on the left not only serves the food to one of the customers waiting in line, but is also in charge of putting certain food in the oven to be baked, or throw away unwanted food. Pac-man, on the other hand, is supposed to go through a grid to reach for certain food that automatically appears when a customer orders something to put on a tray when space is available. Some dishes require more than one ingredient (salads, baked potatoes and of course, pizzas), so you need to reach out for the required ingredients to complete the dish. In some occasions, you will see ghosts. In true Pac-man fashion, they are fatal to Pac-man and you lose points, but luckily, the game's pathfinding is intelligent so that, under normal circumstances, you won't be hitting the ghost from point A to point B. Sometimes, the ghosts will turn into fruits, meaning you can gobble them up for some points and provide some extra customer satisfaction. They won't be fruits forever, so if you are late for the fruit and are about to move to the ghost, you better press the right mouse button to cancel movement. Like the original Pac-man, pellets also appear, but no power pellets. The way to turn the ghosts blue like the original Pac-man is to collect enough pellets to fill the "Skill Meter" so that there is a brief period when you can gobble the nearer ghosts to accumulate points.
Another thing you will be seeing later on is the stage moving. The "Scroll Timer" will indicate when the stage is about to move, and there will be an indicator on whether the stage will move up or down. It's a bad idea to be on a spot where you will go under the belt, as that will cause you to lose points as well. If the stage had moved to its farthest, then it will reverse its flow until it reached its farthest, so the stage movement is consistent. The moving will also replenish any ghosts and pellets that might be located off-spot, so you can recollect those when they appear. In addition to that, any foodstuff that went off from the belt will be relocated somewhere, but there might be a risk of it falling under a dangerous or unreachable spot. Frankly, the levels with moving stages are hectic, especially if they are moving fast, as you don't exactly have a lot of time to react to the movements of the maze, making it a case of needing to know the stage well if you want to succeed. I should tell you this now: focusing on two things at once is definitely not in my league, so I find the double-tasking hard. In fact, there are moments when I got overwhelmed that I lost my concentration at times, although that's just a matter of me being pressured. If you can focus on two things at once, you would probably do fine.
Of course, there are different types of customers who will be ordering things. Because the game never really tells you the customer's characteristics, it's usually assumed that all of them are quite identical besides their looks. However, each customer is actually different in their own way, although the differences are never mentioned. The type of food they order is almost always the same type, so for example, a young woman will, under normal circumstances, order a salad. I also felt that patience levels between the different customers are not the same, although that's just my unproven observation. It would be nice to see how each customer differentiate from each other in some help screen, like say, Diner Dash. Still, one nice thing about the customers is how you never quite have a situation where two customers look the same. It gives the impression that there are a few regulars, though. One thing I noticed is how there is a male and female counterpart for each type of customer. There are a pair of children, African-Americans, teenagers, working people and fat people, making it a total of ten different customers.
Your objective in this game is to generate enough profit so that you will beat the level. In any time management game, there ought to be a kind of challenge in every level where the player needs to go the extra mile to score higher. Usually the other games give you the challenge of scoring higher for the nice token in each level, but this game is different. Instead of the score, you need to serve a certain number of food and/or beverages to customers. This basically means that you are rewarded for serving more customers during opening hours, which is a nice challenge. If you fail to generate the profit, you have to start the level all over, so you need to do your best this time.
With your money, you have the option to buy an upgrade, which includes embellishments, speed upgrades, and quantity of trays and ovens. These are quite possibly some of the most uncreative upgrades, because they are standard fare at making the game easier, and it doesn't have something unique like say, free samples and a path upgrade where Pac-man can go to the right edge of the field in order to end up on the left (this one can be seen in the original Pac-man).
(The seventh minigame for the first seven weeks)
The levels are split into "weeks", meaning that there are seven levels per week, appropriately called "days". There will be six normal days for the first six levels, followed by a special seventh level. The seventh day in each week within the story contains a minigame, where you have to match-three items in the style of Bejeweled. The objective of this section is to clear each block so that they reveal a memento kept by Cathy's father, so that his memory will return. If clearing a certain block is too hard for you, you can use one of the game's powerups, which you can do by clicking it, and then the place you want to put it. There are three types of powerups: a hammer that destroys one block, a bomb that explodes the entire column and a bomb that explodes the entire row. Occasionally a powerup block would appear, and to collect it, you have to make it reach the bottom. By the way, there is a time limit in this minigame too, but this minigame shouldn't be too hard because there should be plenty of time to reveal the picture, and the powerups help a ton. It's a nice breather from the harder levels you might have faced.
(One of the Expert levels. Notice how that guy is angry? He starts off with low happiness so that your spaces are filled with pointless drinks, meaning you need to throw precious drinks away. Only the fat woman and him do this.)
If you completed the game's story, you can choose to play the stages you had been through (so you can endlessly horde your cash), but more importantly, you can try out the more challenging levels, available after the story. When I say challenging, I mean it. Most levels require me a few tries to complete the level's mission, so I think this would not be different for other players. Some elements that you will see in the challenging stages are customers ordering a lot of things just to leave immediately, stages that move fast, and customers starting out unhappy. It is a good idea to fully upgrade your facilities before attempting this, because it will be a lot harder otherwise. Another thing different from story in the challenging levels is the seventh day of the week. Instead of the former's match-three minigames, you are treated with a Pac-man-only level, where you need to navigate him through a moving maze with pellets and ghosts so that you will reach the goal score. Unlike the former minigame, this one is hard, as the mazes generally move fast and some planning is required to maximize your score.
Like any time management game, there is an endless version of the main game, so that the life of this game is extended. Things work differently in this version, however. First of all, if you lose three customers, you lose the game. Secondly, your facilities are prepared and not optimal, and there is no way to upgrade them as far as I know, so you are stuck with what you got till the end. Thirdly, as an endless game, it is expected to get harder as you play, so expect to see customers ordering more complex combinations and more obstacles in the maze. It is something that I have the ability to go on, but personally, I am not too thrilled to go on.
In terms of aesthetics, the game did them quite well. Pac-man's playing field looks simple, which is great because you can easily see where you are going. The customers have a distinct look, although I felt that the humans look a tad complex-looking for my own liking. As for the sound effects, we have the classic Pac-man sound effects, which never get tiring to hear because they are not grating, and fit the Pac-man theme of the game. The music is also decent and alright to my ears, so that's a great thing because it's not too noisy or irritating that gameplay is hindered. There are not many tracks though, so it might get repetitive.
All in all, Pac-man Pizza Parlour is a great game, and if you are interested in a different kind of time management game, you could always try the demo of this game first to test the waters. It's just that the game starts off really easy initially, and the challenging bits won't come into play until much later. The expert portion will really test your limits, so if you like a real challenge, be sure to give this game a go. If you do like it, you might probably buy it, as it's rather affordable. As of writing this, it's only worth US$6.99 at most.
Score: 8 out of 10!
Pros: Different take on the time management genre; Control two characters at once; More to do after finishing story (Endless and Expert); Expert mode is very challenging; Pac-man elements utilised well; Original characters doesn't feel shoehorned with the Pac-man franchise; Good aesthetics; Affordable
Cons: Power-ups are uninspiring; Bejeweled-style minigame might be too easy; Inability to upgrade in Endless Mode; Beginning might not be too challenging
That's all for my review. I hope you enjoyed reading it. How did I do with my review?
Thanks for reading.

This is the story of Katan, a little aztec critter who works as a stonemason on huge pyramid projects. He's an eager, talented employee who beleives strongly in what the project stands for, putting in endless overtime to get things done.
When a less committed, self-serving employee hatches a plan to steal the soul jewel of the temple, the mysterious crystal skull, Katan finds himself under blame and attack from the very monument he helped to create.
I started making this toon November 2008 and finally exported it in January 2010.
Various delays, injuries, graduations and jobs made it hard to focus on for a lot of the time- but it is fairly safe to say that it took a year to make... Which also accounts for the style changes and quality progression evident throughout the four mins of play time ;)
Thanks for watching- and thanks again to Newgrounds for letting me upload such large movie files
