You Can Learn a Lot From a Boysenberry
Several weeks ago, I was picking berries around my property when it occurred to me that what I was doing could actually be applied to writing and producing – as well as to life in general. (What can I say – as a writer of poetry, I've developed a sort of radar for metaphor!)
Seriously, though, I started thinking about it and came up with five lessons I've learned from berry picking:
Just because a boysenberry looks ripe, doesn't mean it is. The pericarp, or outer wall of the seed, may be nice and indigo-black, but leave it on the branch for another couple of days, and it'll be practically bursting – plus, there will almost no seed left. If you can't wait, go ahead and pick 'em when they're ready…you'll definitely enjoy them. However, in berry-picking, as in life, those of us with a little patience will be rewarded greatly!
Group Effort
Speaking of seeds, have you ever tasted one boysenberry or raspberry seed by itself? Even if you did, you'd barely be able to tell, because they're so tiny. Individually, the flavour is difficult to discern – but when you have en entire berry of bulbous seeds, that's when you can really taste their true deliciousness. Although each one might be ripe, full, and perfectly developed, by themselves they would barely be noticed. But put them all together, and you're talkin' some good eating! A boysenberry truly is greater than the sum of its parts.
Don't judge a bush by its branches. The berries you see hanging are likely not the only berries on the bush. Lift a few leaves, and SURPRISE! There may very well be a plethora of sweetness waiting for you underneath.
Then again, you might have to just keep looking. I love the bushes that have big, juicy berries dangling from every branch, but sometimes there just aren't any. Sometimes you need to not only lift the leaves and poke around, but go in search of other bushes you may not even know exist. I've discovered plenty of good, healthy boysenberry bushes because I had to. When what you want can't be found, it doesn't mean it's not there…it just means it hasn't been found. Keep looking.
When you think of 'berries,' what comes to mind? Raspberries? Blueberries? Strawberries? Even if you're into the more exotic varieties like wolfberries (also known as goji berries) or acai berries, we all tend to think of berries as having a particular 'look.' Most people don't realize how diverse the berry family actually is.
Case in point: which of the following is, botanically speaking, a berry?
- grape
- persimmon
- tomato
- banana
- pumpkin
- pineapple
- avocado
- watermelon
If you guessed "all of them," well, congratulations – you obviously studied hard on your Botany 301 exam while your drunk college roomates were having that wet t-shirt contest the night before finals. Yes, every single one of these is, indeed, a true berry. I'll save you the details on why; suffice it to say that it has to do with how they grow and develop. And you know what? Boysenberries, rasperries, and strawberries aren't true berries.
Ain't that a kick in the head?
This final point is not as metaphysical as it sounds; it's actually a fact of nature. Boysenberry bushes grow on a two-year cycle – one year, they will produce tons of berries, the next year, hardly anything. Then the following year, the berries are back! So in order to try to guarantee berries every year, the bushes need to get cut down to only about a foot high at the end of the season. Pruning puts the bushes in 'regrowth' mode, so to speak, so that the following year will be berry-ful.
Likewise, in writing, audio production, or even life, sometimes it helps to just stop what we're doing and start over from where we started having problems, if not from the beginning. Is there a friend or family member who is constantly causing you grief? If they are a drain on your emotions, perhaps it's time to simpy end the relationship and move on. Are you having trouble reconciling a plot point or fleshing out a character? Perhaps you need to consider revising your plot – or eliminating or significantly changing the character. Can't get the right sound you're looking for in your audio production? Yes, you might just need to keep working on it…or it could be that you need to rethink your entire approach. Quitting and starting over can often be a wonderful thing, if you're willing to try it.
Love and other metaphors…
Did you know that boysenberries, rasperries, and strawberries are part of the rose family? For someone like me, who loves berries (even if they're not true berries!), it makes perfect sense. Roses have, for centuries, symbolized love or friendship, and being a guy, I'm not much into receiving flowers as a gift; but give me a slice of warm blueberry pie, a chocolate-covered strawberry, or even quart of fresh black raspberries, and I'm in Heaven.
Ah, yes, love is, indeed, a many-splendoured thing, and comes in a variety of shapes, colours, and flavours.
Think I'll go out to the garden and see how the tomatoes are doing.

Flood Insurance
Flood Insurance
Your homeowner's policy does NOT cover flood expenses. Your homeowner's policy can cover water back-up damage caused by sump failures and drains, but not flood damage. A Flood Insurance policy is a separate policy whose coverage depends on several factors, most importantly, your Flood Zone rating. There are three programs for Flood insurance
- Emergency – The coverage is very limited.
- Regular – This encompasses most of our area (for Flood Zones known as A, AE and Y). This coverage is mandatory for those buyers financing their purchase from a federally regulated or insured lender.
- Preferred – Flood Zones B, C and X fall into this category and will typically have lower premiums due to the lower risk of damage from floods.
The maximum amount of coverage for your home would be $250,000, plus an additional $100,000 for your contents in the Regular or the Preferred Program. The maximum amount of covered costs under the Emergency program would be $60,000. Excess amounts are available through specialty markets.
A standard 30-day waiting period is typical before flood insurance coverage goes into effect. However, this coverage can be put in place immediately upon closing on the sale of or re-financing a property. If the Flood Insurance Rate Map (FIRM) changes, policies purchased during the 13-month period after the new FIRM's effective date are subject only to a one day waiting period.

Free market advocates across America are frustrated by the bailouts, special favors, and backroom deals taking place in Washington. The amount of crony capitalism seems to be unending, from the massive losses for taxpayers from Solyndra to the fact that 71% of recent Energy Department grants and loans went to liberal bundlers and contributors. But with the regulatory onslaught from numerous agencies and the coming 'fiscal cliff,' can business afford to not be at the table, particularly when many other special interest groups are?

Worst-Case Scenario Becomes Reality
Friday, July 23, 2010by BassFan Managing Editor John Johnson
I firmly believe that the vast majority of tournament bass anglers are of a similar mindset. I've personally met only one guy who I know for a fact tried to cheat in a tournament. He didn't get away with it, but he wasn't pilloried throughout the bass-fishing world like he should've been, either, and went on to fish more events. He'd lost the trust of his fellow competitors, but he maintained a defiant attitude toward the whole thing and was of such low character that his reputation was unimportant to him.
The guy was fortunate that the Internet was in its infancy at that time and his indiscretions couldn't be instantly broadcast to the worldwide angling community. Had the incident occurred a decade later, he would've been finished as a tournament angler and the sport would've been better off for it.
Boy, how times have changed!
In a span of a couple of hours this week, Mike Hart went from being one of the most respected anglers in tournament-mad Southern California to an absolute pariah among competitive fishermen everywhere. He'd have to change his name, hire a special-effects guy from nearby Hollywood to alter his appearance and develop a real good foreign accent to ever get into another derby.
What made him stuff those lead weights into his fish at the U.S. Open at Lake Mead? Greed, undoubtedly. It gets the best of seemingly good people all the time and instantly transforms them into scumbags when their underhanded tactics are discovered. Those closest to the offenders may choose to stand behind them – which is as it should be. But to the rest of us, their names are mud.
My late father taught me to consider not only the most likely outcome of any life decision, but also the best- and worst-case scenarios. And if the worst-case would cost me more than I could stand to lose, then I'd be better off taking a pass.
In hindsight, it's easy to surmise that Hart would've chosen not to cheat if he'd had an inkling that the fate that's befallen him was even a reasonable likelihood. He allegedly told WON Bass director of operations Bill Egan that he'd borrowed the money to compete in the tournament and felt pressure to repay it.
That's not even in the ballpark of being a rational explanation. First off, with all the money that Hart's won fishing in SoCal over the past few years, it's hard to fathom that he couldn't scrounge up his own entry fee. And if he couldn't, the solution was real simple – don't fish. The majority of us are faced with such discretionary-spending decisions all the time, and we rarely opt for the route that offers up so much peril if things go bad.
Had Hart been cheating the competitors in his region all along? That's a question that might never be answered.
But one thing's for certain – he won't be doing it anymore. If it was a one-shot deal, it was likely the worst decision he's ever made. Word of this incident will spread outside the angling world and infiltrate every facet of his life, and even people who don't care a lick about catching bass for cash will look upon him as a swindler.
Here's to hoping that this incident doesn't ruin his entire life and that he can pick up the pieces and move on. He'll need all the help that anybody who cares about him as a person can offer.
For those who us who don't know him personally, he'll likely never be able to restore his once-good name. That's life, though, and this scenario would've been easily foreseeable – and avoidable – had he considered the worst possible outcome of adding a few ounces of lead to those fish.

The latest arrest and short-term detention of Jose Daniel Ferrer Garcia continues the Cuban authorities' cat-and-mouse game with political dissidents and human rights activists. This practiceused as a form of harassment and intimidation to repress legitimate, peaceful activism and freedom of expressionmust come to a halt.
Cuba has had a history of suppressing political dissent [HRW backgrounder] through criminal prosecutions. In July, AI and the US government criticized Cuba [JURIST report] for arresting more than 40 activists who attended the funeral of prominent dissident Oswaldo Jose Paya Sardinas [personal website, in Spanish]. In December the government announced [JURIST report] that it would grant amnesty to and release 2,900 prisoners, including political prisoners. The announcement came in the wake of a scheduled visit by Pope Benedict XVI. Human rights activists have criticized the proposed amnesty because it was merely a protection of the country's image rather than a step towards a real reform. Alan Gross, a US contractor, who was sentenced [JURIST report] to 15 years in prison for attempting to undermine the communist government of Cuba, was not given amnesty.

Undergraduate Admissions - Mathematics Placement Testing
The Mathematics Placement system at Lindenwood University is designed to assess students' skills before they enroll in their first math course. This ensures the student has the skills required for that particular course. The goal is to screen potential failure rather than predict success. The student's major determines which one of the four exams they are to take: General Education, College Algebra, Precalculus, or Calculus. The math placement exams can place students in courses up to Calculus I (MTH27100). Who takes the Mathematics Placement Exam? The exam should be taken by the majority of new students. Exceptions are made for students who have transferred college-level math credit that: a) completes the math requirement for their major; or b) satisfies the prerequisite for the first math course required for their major. Students who have a score of 30 or above on the ACT or a score of 3 or higher on an AP Calculus exam, will also be excused from the math placement exam. When do I take the Mathematics Placement Exam? Placement exams will be administered to all students attending the Admissions Department's open enrollment sessions. Students who cannot attend an enrollment session will complete the Mathematics Placement Exam after arriving on campus. Math placement testing appointments should be made at least 24 hours in advance at Which Mathematics Placement Exam should I take? The specific placement exam taken by each student is determined by his/her anticipated area of study. Students who plan to major in a field of math or science, including Biology, Chemistry, Computer Information Systems, Computer Science, Economics, Mathematics, Middle School Math Education, Middle School Science Education, PreEngineering, PreMedicine, PreNursing, or Secondary Education Biology or Chemistry, should prepare to take one of the Algebra-Calculus placement exams. Students majoring in any other area, and those students who have not yet decided on a major, should prepare to take the General Education placement exam. What is the exam format? The General Education placement exam consists of twenty-six multiple-choice questions. The College Algebra, Precalculus, and Calculus exams each contain twelve multiple-choice questions. Students are allotted 40 minutes to complete the exam. Once the student completes the exam, the exam will be graded and the student will be advised which mathematics course they should take in the coming semester. Calculators are NOT allowed on any mathematics placement exam; the questions are designed to test knowledge and understanding of algebra, as well as calculation skills. How can I prepare for the Mathematics Placement Exam? Students should prepare for the math placement exam by studying the sample exams available at http://www.lindenwood.edu/admissions/placementReview.htmlCan I retake the Mathematics Placement Exam? Students may retake the mathematics placement exam once per semester. Students must wait at least thirty (30) days, following the first attempt, to retake any math placement exam. Students must contact the mathematics placement coordinator if interested in signing up to retake the math placement exam. Can the Mathematics Placement score be used to show proficiency in a particular math course? No. The math placement exams are for placement purposes only. These tests will NOT be used to show proficiency. Students who wish to validate math proficiency via examination should contact the Lindenwood University Mathematics Department for more information. |

10.5: A number of ways to access Screen Sharing
Yes, you can type in something like this:
10.5: A number of ways to access Screen Sharing
I was actually wondering if it would allow true internet addresses (mapped to the appropriate IP address), such as http://www.something.com. I have my computer IP address mapped to and dynamically updated to an internet "http" address so that I don't have to remember my dynamically changing IP address (dumb cable company).
10.5: A number of ways to access Screen Sharing
http and vnc are different protocols, but they use the same addressing. It will work with any hostname as long as it can resolve it to the IP address of a computer running a VNC/ARD server, but if you use http for the protocol part of the address, it will think you're trying to access a web page (or possibly webdav share) and it will connect the wrong software to the wrong port and you won't get screen sharing. In the case of your example, you would want vnc://www.something.com (although it's unlikely that the www subdomain will be used in this case).

Mmm mmm good (if you're a zombie, I'd imagine). A parody of a popular soup brand, this tee is made in vintage style with a modern macabre kick to it.
As evinced in Romero's later films, zombies will begin to reacquire portions of their human intelligence over time, so who's to say that well after the Z-Pockalypse they won't remake civilization (complete with consumerism) in their own, rotting, smelly, hungry, shambling image?

Beating Porsche, Lamborghini and Ferrari should make Camaro enthusiasts quite happy.
Chevrolet is the latest brand to brag about setting a 7-minute-something lap time on Germany's 12.9-mile Nordschleife, a closed toll road that lets anyone speed to their heart's content. The 2014 Camaro Z/28 posted a 7:37.40 time, beating the Porsche 911 Carrera S by a few tenths and the more powerful Camaro ZL1 by several seconds. And because 'Ring laps are not the place for modesty, Chevy said that the 505-horsepower Z/28 would have been six seconds faster had the track not been wet.
Of course, the Camaro Z/28 is nowhere near Porsche's all-time record for a production road car. In September, the German automaker claimed the first sub-7-minute lap time in its 918 Spyder, ripping apart every exotic car ever to post a public time (you can see the 100 best times here).
Driver has to drill down into multiple menus just to change the height and other aspects of the head-up display.
Head-up displays (HUD) help drivers keep tabs on important information without having to take their eyes off the road. The HUD in the 2014 BMW 328i xDrive Gran Turismo I recently tested is one of the best I've seen.
It provides all the typical information of other HUDs, such as vehicle, audio, phone and navigation info. And I liked that it clearly shows how to navigate very complex intersections and maneuvers when on a route using a lane guidance display, for example.
But one thing I didn't like is that adjusting aspects of the HUD is too complicated, and the operation is buried deep within the car's iDrive controller.
The annual Amelia Island Concours d'Elegance brings incredible cars for display. Here's some of the beauties that sold.
While Amelia Island kicks off the global concours circuit with smaller crowds than at the Pebble Beach Concours in California, the cars lining this pristine slice of northern Florida coastline are just as significant.
That $6.6 million Delahaye, a 135 Competition Court Torpedo Roadster from 1937, became the most valuable car to ever sell at auction in Amelia. The French-built two-tone roadster, known to its last owner as the "French mistress," was derived from a racing chassis with a body fashioned by Parisian coachbuilder Figoni et Falaschi and illustrator Georges Hamel. According to RM Auctions, the Torpedo caused a legal controversy when Figoni et Falaschi refused to credit Hamel for his work, and their resolution was to affix a small brass plaque with his nickname "Geo Ham" on three of the 13 cars, including this one.
Father of current Ford chairman William Clay Ford, Jr. was also owner of Detroit Lions.
William Clay Ford, the last surviving grandchild of automotive icon Henry Ford and current director emeritus of Ford Motor Company, died at his home near Detroit on Sunday. He was 88. The cause of death was pneumonia.
He is also the father of current Ford chairman William Clay Ford, Jr., and "the last direct link to the days when the company belonged entirely to the Ford family, the company's largest shareholder and the last Ford family member to be a confidant of founder Henry Ford," according to the New York Times. The newspaper added that he "once steered a car from his grandfather Henry's lap."
Although William Clay Ford never got the chance to run the family business like his older brother Henry Ford II, he served as vice chairman from 1980 to 1989 and headed the company's influential finance committee from 1987 to 1995.
He starting working at Ford on the assembly line during summer vacations while attending Yale. After graduating in 1949 with a degree in economics, he worked for Ford in sales and advertising and later in industrial relations, helping to negotiate a contract with the United Auto Workers.
New preview gives better look at retro-inspired Bumblebee, 'old-school' Optimus Prime — and yes, robot dinosaurs.
After months of promotional pictures, car reveals and a 30-second teaser that debuted during this year's Super Bowl, we now have the first trailer for the upcoming "Transformers: Age of Extinction" film.
The fourth movie in director Michael Bay's robotic car series, Age of Extinction is a reboot of sorts, bringing along with it new stars (most notably new leading man Mark Wahlberg) and a new gaggle of "star cars" — which is all we really care about anyway, right?
Let's take a look at what we've seen and what we know so far about the vehicles of Age of Extinction.
The 2014 Fiat 500L and Chrysler SUVs from 2012-2013 need software updates.
The 2014 Fiat 500L, when equipped with the dual-clutch automatic transmission, can be slow to shift out of park or engage other selected gears. A "microcontroller" controlling the transmission can fail due to "certain temperature extremes."
In most cases, dealers will install a software update to correct the problem, but on about 200 cars the shift module may need to be physically replaced to work with the new software. A total of about 18,100 cars are affected in the U.S.
Another 25,250 SUVs -- the 2012-2013 Jeep Grand Cherokee and Dodge Durango -- are being recalled to fix the braking system. Specifically, there may not be enough brake fluid circulating through the system during a panic stop, which could cause the pedal to feel softer than normal.
Electric 3-wheeler has maneuverability of a motorcycle, cabin of a car and ease of vehicle sharing.
If futurist predictions come true, the global population will become increasingly urbanized, leading to the further growth of "mega cities" — and to what's been termed as global gridlock as more vehicles take to the roads.
Toyota's solution is the i-Road, a compact all-electric three-wheeled vehicle that has been turning heads on the streets of Toyota City, Japan, for its unusual appearance as well as its potential. The i-Road's rear third wheel (think of it as a reverse tricycle) gives it a pivotal form of operation that's similar to riding a motorcycle, although it's more stable and therefore safer — and also fun.
Like a motorcycle or bicycle, the i-Road can weave through traffic and is far more maneuverable than a car since it takes up less space. Unlike a motorcycle, the i-Road has an enclosed canopy so the driver won't get windblown and can stay warm and dry.
Entire surface is an LCD display that can be switched off to reveal a conventional mirror.
Some rearview mirrors have small LCD monitors embedded in them to display an image from a backup camera. But now Nissan has introduced what it calls the world's first rearview mirror that incorporates a full LCD monitor as well as a traditional mirror, and that offers the best of both worlds by switching between the two.
The LCD built into the mirror housing is connected to a high-resolution camera at the rear of the vehicle. Nissan said this combination eliminates a traditional mirror's blind spots and the obstructed views caused by a car's C-pillars. The LCD mirror and camera combination also doesn't have to deal with other visual impediments such as tall passengers in the rear seats or a cargo compartment stacked with luggage.
With a special roll cage and suspension and a massive set of wheels and tires, it could turn heads even in Crimea.
All eyes are on the Crimea because of the standoff between Russia's Vladimir Putin and Ukraine and its Western allies. But if this crazy Russian custom car were to enter the scene it would turn heads -- and maybe bring some much needed levity to the tense situation.
According to the website English Russia, the design for the crazy project car began with the creators using 3-D modeling software, and then evolved into stripping a Nissan Maxima for parts.
Although it looks like what Digital Trends called "Darth Vader's Baja Bug," you can still see remnants of the Maxima in the main body, including the roof and doors.

T-Mobile USA just announced that the iPhone is coming to their network on April 12, and they also provided details on their new Simple Choice plans that cover their new LTE network. Plans start at $50 per month for one line that includes unlimited talk, text, and web with 500MB of high-speed data. T-Mobile is also offering plans for 2GB and unlimited high-speed data.
Customers can add a second phone line for $30 per month, and each additional line is just $10 per month. They can also add 2GB of high-speed data for $10 per month more per line. Unlimited 4G data is only $20 more per month per line. No caps. No overages. Just simple value.
There are no overage fees if you exceed your allotted data amount on the 500MB and 2GB plans, though you are throttled until your next billing period begins. These plans, along with T-Mobile's iPhone pricing, mean that a single user would pay up to $90 per month for an iPhone 5 with unlimited high-speed data.
Do you like the look of these plans? Has it got you considering a switch to T-Mobile, or will you have to wait and see their LTE coverage first? Let us know in the comments below.
Source: T-Mobile USA
NOPE! T-Mobile coverage in the Seattle area (where the US headquarters is for the company) is still shotty, at best! There's not a snowball's chance in hell that I would give up my top tier VZW coverage for bottom tier T-Mo coverage.
The only real value is if you use a ton of data in a month, or of you plan on keeping your phone more than the 20 months to "pay it off"
Example. Verizon share everything plan. 4 GB data. Two smartphones. $150
Tmobile is $140. Which would drop to $100 if you keep your phone longer than 20 months.
Depending on your corp discounts, could be a wash (I have a larger discount on Verizon)
I like the move though. Would like to get a $40/month discount after 20 months (ironically the same time AT
So funny how all the experts have talked about how much more momentum Samsung has then Apple, when Apple didn't have one phone available on the carrier T-Mobile. Apple's done more harm to their momentum than the competition with the slow to fade exclusivity.
"along with T-Mobile's iPhone pricing, mean that a single user would pay up to 90 dollarsper month for an iPhone 5 with unlimited high-speed data."
Same as Verizon. Better pricing for the device, though I'm sure all prices shown here are for only 16gb models.
Is your math correct? You said a single user would pay $90 for unlimited data, but wouldn't it be $70 (50$ base plan, plus 20$)?
EDIT: I apologize you are including the 20$/month payment for the iPhone, that is what makes their plan as expensive as everyone else (unless you are someone who likes old phones).
The saving really comes in when adding a second line. I pay nearly $200 after tax to ATT for two iPhones with 2GB each. If I went with T-Mobile I would drop to $161 (including guesstimated tax).
A year later than I thought T-Mobile would get the iPhone, but finally here it is. Not going to make me switch, but gives all the complainers about their carriers one other place to go to now
I got my iPhone 4s from At&t for $100 then paid my ETF $350 and Unlock code from eBay $20 = $470 and I'm with T-Mobile $60 a month
My with is still with At&t with her iPhone $200 and paying $130 unlimited talk & text with 3g of web and with her company discount and after discount = $110 now $280 ETF and unlock code from eBay $20 = $500
With T-Mobile new plans I'm going to pay $100 and no activation fee with my wife's discount $85 and saving of $85 a month
My Wife's ETF $500 with my saving just over 5 months everything will be paid off and oh yeah i'm not on contract
What is At&t upgrade fee if we were to upgrade $36
My internet on my 4s has been faster than my wife's 5 on At&t
Wish we had plans like this in Canada. The CHEAPEST plan you can get is $50 a month, comes with 120 mins of talk time and 100 Mb of data. Canada has the WORST wireless options out there. This is because the market is dominated by three players who have a strangle hold on the politicians and have been able to prevent competitors from entering the ring. So frustrating.
What is meant by "unlimited talk, text, and web", but also having a 500MB data cap. How do you separate "unlimited web" from the data limit?
I'm enjoying what T-Mobile is doing with their new plans and I hope they catch on and/or bring the other companies' plans down in price. My favorite is think..$80 for 6.5G and unlimited talk/text. I will definitely switch to T-Mobile if this stays alive by the time I get the iPhone 5S or I win this contest. I'll switch in a heart beat. I'm sick of Verizon.
That is a pretty good value, especially if you're someone who just buys their phones off contract. Also it is very nice that your monthly bill doesn't stay at the higher price once you pay off your phone. That's something none of the other carriers seem to bother with.
Now I am really gonna have to crunch some numbers and see what canceling my contract would cost. I'd love to get back to T-mobile and support the good guys.
I'm glad that Tmo finally got iPhone 5 :-)
But like mentioned before, coverage must improve. I switched from AT&T to Verizon because AT&T never deployed LTE in my area
Iphone is will be One of T-mobile's most Grossing Plan because of its High Speed Internet and Unlimited Talk and Text, Great!
It seems this equalizes the playing field for carriers (at least device wise). Now for T-Mobile to work on coverage...
I just noticed that the black iPhone 5 in the picture is showing "E" for Edge, which is 2G. Not exactly the best advertisement for T-Mobile. Might want to fix that...
It's funny because until recently, Edge was all T-Mo had in my area, so my old unlocked iPhone's screen usually looked just like that (with "T-Mobile" and "E" at the top). Tho now they've improved a great deal and finally have HSPA+ 42, which is pretty impressive (faster than AT&T's LTE in my area _and_ my Wi-Fi at home).
50$ a month is pretty solid I think. I'm fortunate enough to have my unlimited data AT&T pan for 30 a month with a 40$ voice plan and no text plan. That comes to 70 and with my work discount is low 60's every month. I rarely go anywhere near 500MB in a month (mostly because I'm always on wifi) so 50$ is pretty awesome. Then again, if TMobile has crap coverage or no coverage than even 1$ a month for free everything wouldnt be worth it. Need something that works!

Congress doesn't write laws. Corporate ghost writers write laws and Congress signs them.
I guess that's what you get for not paying attention to congressional elections instead of the, in reality, completely inconsequential presidential election which instead has become the only election anyone seems to care about in the US these days. The entire reason why your founding fathers designed the electoral college system is because there's really no need to elect the president popularly -- he is merely the chief of the executive branch, whose task it is to carry out what Congress decides. You're not supposed to elect him "for his political agenda" (if anything, that's what the congressional elections are for; though I'd argue otherwise in another rant), but for his ability to lead the government. Which is why he was supposed to be elected by professional electors tasked with the elucidation of such properties in people.
See, you're better off over there then we are here in the Democratic People's States of Europe precisely because you get to elect your congressmen personally, rather than voting for pre-selected party lists as we get to do under our varieties of proportional voting. It means that you actually can elect people on such virtues as incorruptibility and honesty, rather than the ability to climb the party ranks by spouting the party line.
Electing a president popularly based on "political agendas" is, if anything, directly undemocratic, since it implies that the entire nation has to elect as one entity, leaving the majority with no other choice than to oppress the minority (where, of course, the "minority" is 45% or so of the people).

Methinks that's missing the point. Judging by the summary, what his friend misses isn't crafting or just housing, but the opportunity to be a griefing fucktard with impunity. He doesn't miss just housing (which half the games have nowadays anyway), but more specifically thieving, which in the context of housing really boiled down to exploiting some clipping bug to nick someone's furniture that per the game rules you shouldn't have had access to. Basically he's missing a game that's equally half-baked, buggy, exploitable, and with equally piss-poor GM support, so he can be as big a griefer as in the good old days of UO.
As one of the writers of Haven & Hearth, I have to disagree. The reason me and my friend wanted to write the game is that we wanted a world where the actions that players can perform actually have an impact on the world itself, rather than just another theme park where you can just enjoy yourself withing the very strict frame set by the authors of the game; and those of our current players that seem to enjoy the game the most seem to agree with that. It leads naturally to a game world where the emergent phenomena become the most defining feature of the world, rather than the mechanics that we, as the game authors, build into it. The coolest thing about the world, if I may say so myself, is that there isn't a single structure in the world that hasn't been built by the players themselves.
It is true, of course, that theft and raiding are important parts of that, and the primary enjoyment of many players is the politics that arise out of factions competing with each other; but mind you that theft and raiding does not necessarily equal "griefing". In Haven, despite only having a few hundred players, there are actual wars being played out without us authors having to write a back-story for them. We don't have to write a back-story at all since that can be done entirely by players; and it also leads to a story that the players can actually care about since they are part of it themselves, rather than having had it pushed upon them.
I shan't pretend that Haven isn't buggy and exploitable, but those are things that we do plan to remedy before going into beta without having to rip out the most defining aspect of the game, viz., its mutable world. "Piss-poor GM support", as you put it, is an intended feature: We don't want to set the rules for the game any more than is necessary as a part of writing basic game mechanics, and in the end, we believe that it leads to a more meaningful player experience since players don't have to be bothered by any arbitrary rules of morality that we may set up. The point is that most of our players don't want to be "griefers" -- they simply want to be a meaningful part of the game world itself, which they cannot be in a theme-park game like WoW. I don't want to pretend everyone wants a game like that (there is obviously a reason why WoW has four or so orders of magnitude more players than we do), but it's not like it's just for griefers.

The point is that the systems the vast majority of people use (say, Debian, Ubuntu, Fedora, &c.) are heavily based on GNU. So much so, in fact, that it if you really seek a single qualifier for it, it would be more appropriate to call it GNU than to call at Linux. At the core of the system lies all of the GNU system, including the coreutils, GCC, binutils, bash, texinfo, gzip, glibc, all the reimplementations of basic system tools like grep, sed, awk and what have you not. What you're normally actually using, as a user, is more often than not GNU code. (And that applies to very many GUI users, too, seeing how GNOME is part of GNU.)
Also, I'm not trying to force you to call the system GNU/Linux instead of Linux, honestly. I, too, usually call it Linux, but only because that's what I and others have become used to, not because I think that it is the most correct denomination to use. (Well, only when I speak with laymen, though, really. When I speak with my friends, I can usually leave out the "Linux" part of it completely and just say that I use "Debian".) On the other hand, I certainly have no wish to actively discredit GNU's extremely pivotal role in the system.

You are right and the meaning is the same in the second example.
We can also use 'should have' to speculate about events that may or may not have happened.
They should have all read that first email by this stage. It's time to send the next one.
If you say that someone is gibbering, you mean that they are talking very fast and in a confused manner. [INFORMAL]
I was a gibbering wreck by this stage.
I suppose that in the first example by this stage can mean "at this point", am I right? But what does that mean in the second example?
Thank you
You are right and the meaning is the same in the second example.
In both sentences, the expression means 'at or before this point'. 'By' has a greater suggestion of the process or time leading the the situation mentioned, in my opinion.

A conversation 'Found In Translation': Steven Naifeh's work shown at the Columbia Museum of Art
Posted 6/28/2013 4:02:00 PM
This is one of those posts where I should take the subject at hand and translate it for those of us who don't have an extensive background in art history. The problem is, I'm not sure that I can. I'm going to try, but there are concepts at play that I don't fully understand — concepts of mathematics, concepts of ancient history, concepts of universal principles that
-based artist
Steven Naifeh
doesn't even fully understand.
These are concepts that weren't even understood by the craftsmen who intricately carved out the ancient Islamic screens that many of the works in
"Found In Translation: The Art of Steven Naifeh"
are based upon. That is the glory of the exhibition that is on view at the
Museum of Art until Sept. 1. The large-scale works are at once simple and complex, primitive and modern … and they challenge artist and viewer alike to ask, "what makes this art?"
I was able to have a chat with Naifeh at the museum among the large-scale works that have been capturing the imaginations of the many who continue to travel to see the show. Naifeh has a calm presence and is very humble about the depth and breadth of his artistic knowledge. Not only is he an avid collector who's known throughout international circles, he and his partner, Gregory White Smith, have written 12 books about various topics in art. They won a Pulitzer Prize for their biography of Jackson Pollack. So one might understand if Naifeh were to come off as a bit intimidating in an artistic setting. Instead, he is engaging and curious — always excited to see what people are thinking or experiencing, and always grateful for the support of others.
We walked around the galleries and chatted. He kept looking around as if he couldn't believe what he was seeing. He gestured toward the huge works that Mike Dwyer, the museum's exhibition designer, had carefully arranged. "He hung them lower than I would have, and it's really interesting because it changes the perception of them dramatically. You almost look down at them from this height — depending on how tall you are — and they're more personable that way. They sort of interact with the viewer more than when they're sort of up there gazing down at you … I'm very, very gratified by how well the museum hung this."
The work in "Found In Translation" could be described as modern geometric abstraction, but it's more than that. The work that you see as you walk through the galleries reaches back in time — possibly all the way to 1000 B.C. — thanks to Naifeh's exposure to and careful study of Islamic and North African culture. The son of American diplomats, Naifeh spent his childhood traveling the Islamic world. During the 1960s his father, who was the son of Lebanese immigrants, was one of the few in the diplomatic corps who was a specialist in Arab culture. As a result, Naifeh spent his formative years surrounded by the intricate beauties that make up the aesthetics of Islamic motifs. The culture's ornate carvings, careful patterns and meaningful colors were an important part of his childhood. When he was 15, Naifeh's father was appointed Cultural Attaché of the U.S. Embassy in Lagos, Nigeria. The area is considered by many to be the artistic epicenter of Africa, thanks to its rich pre-colonial artistic history and its continued strength when the British added their own culture to the mix when the country was colonized.
Naifeh had already been showing promise as a young artist, but it was after this move that he began to show serious interest in geometric abstraction. He began to study with Bruce Onobrakpeya, one of the most successful Nigerian painters of our time. During this period of study Naifeh began to work in geometric abstraction while surrounded by a culture that continued to be fed from old sources. There were the contributions of the Nok culture, which, while flourishing from 1000 B.C. until it mysteriously vanished around 300 A.D., produced incredible terracotta heads that are still studied today. The bronzes of the former kingdom of Benin were an important source of pride in Nigeria. Also, the woodcarvings of the ancient Yoruba and Ife tribes were a significant part of the national heritage.
Armed with this education and exposure, Naifeh eventually went off to study art history at Harvard and Princeton before eventually — years later — settling down in
to write about and produce art. While he has continued to study the ingenious mathematical and aesthetic concepts of Islamic and West African art, Naifeh has also looked to similar concepts in India and other cultures.
The collection featured in
takes the concepts that have fascinated the artist and breaks them down. Where one might look at an Indian Jali screen and see a complicated, lace-like pattern, Naifeh has taken one of the many complex patterns and blown it up to grand proportions for his Jali series. Using ancient mathematical formulas, 72 x 144-inch white canvases, and only one shade of acrylic paint per canvas, the artist created a pattern that is difficult to look away from because of its size and continuity.
One of the most fascinating parts of the exhibition is Naifeh's Uzbek series. The idea came from a 1,000-year-old dome in an Uzbek mosque. The mosque was built in a small town along the Silk Road, so it is more crude than its urban counterparts in Damascus or Cairo. The lines on the outside of the structure aren't quite as perfect, and the laborers who built it were likely to be less skilled. The result is a more primitive building than many of its contemporaries.
On the mosque's interior, the dome is covered in glazed turquoise squares that are placed in a rough spiral. Naifeh took this image and interpreted it for his own. He and his team, with the help of a computer program, calculated out the perfect alignment of dots to make what is a very controlled spiral. Then, Naifeh called upon a shop that repairs fiberglass boats in North Augusta to help make the 100 x 100 tiles. Then, the tiles were sent to California, where a machine was fed an image of the spirals in order to punch holes in the fiberglass according to the mathematically mapped out pattern.
The result can be seen in the Columbia Museum of Art gallery, with an LED light shining behind the spiral that tricks the eye into seeing an image that is wildly out of control. Through this process, Naifeh has essentially digitized a primitive work, while at the same time, harkening it to the 1960s Op Art movement. It's an incredible trifecta of juxtapositions — primitive vs. modern, control vs. chaos, and crude vs. polish.
At every step, there are surprises in the two- and three-dimensional works that appear so simple at first glance. Naifeh used whole teams of people to create pieces that are as perfect in symmetry and layout as can possibly be done. The majority of the work was done by South Carolinians; in some cases by laborers who never would have imagined themselves working on a conceptual art project. For Naifeh, this was an added pleasure to producing his work.
"When Jackson Pollack would create his masterpieces, he was constantly asking the question, 'But is it art?'" he says. The process of creating the geometric forms that are now hanging in the Columbia Museum of Art brought that question out of an artist's contemplation and into a greater circle of conversation. Now, that conversation has been brought to Columbia, where scores of people are arriving each day to stand in front of the huge works, tip their heads to the side and say, "Which part of this makes it art?" It is a beautiful thing.

Went to Los Angeles Brewing Company last night before the Jeff Mangum show. the space is okay, i like how big it is and the really high ceilings. They had a nice number of good beers for $3 specials, and the fried chicken dinner I had was really good. Unfortunately, the place is severely under-staffed, and the waitress we had was completely unable to answer any question we had about the menu. Surely when you have a menu item called "fresh mixed vegetables - varies by day" you should be able to say what vegetables those are. At one point I waited nearly 20 minutes for a beer, and the place, while busy, was not that crowded. There's nothing so special about this place that i feel any real desire to go out of my way to return.

ALSO I am fairly sure I got food poisoning from oysters from Perch. It was either that or the local veggies antipasto or anchovies pizza at Urbano. Those are the things my girlfriend ate last Wednesday evening and we both ended up with the same violent symptoms on Friday. Shame since I enjoy both places so much.
Los Angeles Brewing Company has dirty taps or something because my beer(Goose Island's Matilda) did not taste that well and I couldn't taste that awesome belgian sugar taste it normally has.

LA Brewing Company is such a damn disappointment. They could be packed to the gills in that location everyday but they are fucking it up big time.
That said, I walked by The Counter this morning and they pulled off all the screens from the windows. The inside looks great and it should be opening soon.
Girlfriend and I are excited about The Counter being downtown. Om nom nom
I went to Sunset Beer in Echo Park for the first time last night...holy crap this place is awesome! It's a craft beer bottle store that is also a bar. The first seection is a smallish store with a bunch of coolers where you can buy beer like any liquor store, and the whole selection is craft brew. next to that is a very comfortable loungy area where they not only have 5 taps, but you can also bring bottles from the store in the lounge and just hang out with them like a bar! Most nights they have a $2 "corkage" fee, but you can still buy $1.70 12oz bottles of great beer and have a great deal. Wednesday happens to be No-Corkage night! We weren't there too long last night, but I ended up having a 750ml bottle of Surf City's rye pale ale and a bottle of Russian River Damnation for $10 total. Fucking awesome!
I'll definitely be returning. Having dinner at The Park and then hanging out here would be a great pre-party activity before Echo shows. It[s really awesome too that you can basically hang out in a great bar for a couple hours and then buy more good beer to go as you leave!
Not sure if you're familiar, but Buzz (buzzwinebeershop.com) in downtown is now essentially the same thing. It's a great beer and wine store and you can also buy and drink tastings served in their "bar" section. Great deals too, usually $2 for a 5 oz flight of good beer or $2 for a nearly full glass of wine. And it's open pretty late too. Great alternative to most other bars in the historic core.
Awesome, i was not aware of Buzz. Thanks!
Walked by The Counter on my way home to lunch and it is now open.
Buzz has "Thursday flight nights" and Friday night "beer o'clocks." Sign up for their email list to get info on what beer/wines they serve each night. Last time I went it was $7 for a paddle of 3 beers about.. half? pint each. It was pretty mellow and nice.
Melgarde Pub House @ Melrose and Gardner has a wonderful happy hour special - buy a beer, get a free cheese pizza - they have a GREAT selection of beers (Lost Coast!) and the food there isn't too shabby either.
Also formerly the Bungalow Club, now called Bugatta @ Melrose & Formosa - little overwhelming euro vibe at times with the music, but the happy hour is hard to beat. Most appetizers $6-$8 (filet mignon skewers/chicken satay skewers/lobster ravioli *WOW* ) and all their martinis are $6 and specialty mixed drinks are the same. Wonderful to do afternoon meetings at. You leave quite tanked for under $30-40
Hm, thought we had talked about them here before. Guess not. If you live in the area this place actually delivers. There's a girl that will take your order over the phone and then haul out to your place on her bike to drop the booze off. Check out the site for more info. My only gripe would be they don't often update the site in parallel with what they have in stock. Understandable.

Hey guys I really want to eat some good Korean BBQ this weekend. I haven't eaten at any of the KBBQ restaurants in Koreatown because I usually go to this place in West Covina that I've been going to for like 8 years cuz my g/f knows the owners. I've heard I'm really missing out though. Anyone have any suggestions on KBBQ restaurants in the Koreatown area for a guy on somewhat of a budget? Like maybe walking out spending no more than $20-25 per person?
Awesome. Thanks Drinkey. Next time I'll search through the thread more lol. Some great suggestions here!
My parents are visiting this weekend. Taking them to a play at the Music Center in downtown on Saturday. I think we're going to a late post-theatre dinner. Any suggestions for places still serving their full menus after 10:30pm? Downtown would be the preference.
Baco Mercat. Godamn I want one of their Bacos right now.
Edit: Rivera might also work. Mas Malo as well. Both are Mexican food.
Last edited by mmsk123; 06-06-2012 at 07:10 PM.
Thanks, I'll check those out. I was actually looking at Mas Malo right now. It seemed perfect, because we could do dinner at Mas Malo and then walk to Bottega Louie for dessert -- Bottega is way too loud to enjoy any sort of dinner conversation. The menu looks great at Mas Malo, but I'm kind of astonished at the number of negative reviews they've recently received on Yelp. Almost all about rude and downright unacceptable service. Have you had a better experience there?

Baco Mercat is fantastic. Great recommendation!
So excited that I'm moving downtown next week! Though my bank account is probably not going to be happy with so many tasty places to eat just steps away from my apartment!
I was just there two weeks ago. Service was ok? I'm not too keen on paying so much money for Mexican food, especially when the taco truck a block away has tacos that taste just as good for 1/3 the price. Note that Bottega closes at midnight I believe so I'm not sure if you'd be able to get anything if you take some time for dinner. Honestly if you haven't tried Baco Mercat I highly suggest it. It's something interesting and new that doesn't really fit any specific sort of cuisine. Everyone I've taken there has been totally into it.
Oh, I definitely will try Baco Mercat, especially since Josef Centeno of Lazy Ox is the Exec Chef. But I think I'm taking them to Langer's Deli for the world famous pastrami sandwiches at lunch, so we probably won't do sandwiches for dinner. Thanks, guys!
BTW - finally did Library Bar a few weeks ago. Shared some appetizers/small plates with some friends and shared a really nice bottle of pinot grigio which I'm forgetting the name of now. It was all decent. Hardly a place I'd rush to get back to, but all in all enjoyable.
I have a bunch of friends that have been going on and on about Don Cuco's taco truck in Sylmar. i really need to check that out soon.
Also, Cactus Taqueria on Vine between Santa Monica and Melrose and Casita's in Burbank are two of my favorite small shops. Om nom noms

The People's King |
When King Edward VIII made a visit in November 1936 to the steelworks in South Wales which were about to close, he found the whole area was a virtual wasteland. He promised the men who were about to lose their jobs that something would be done for them. At that time, very few people knew that he was in love with Wallis Simpson, who had just divorced her second husband, and that he intended to make her Queen. He knew he would probably have to give up...
