I love my G13 peripheral, so dam comfortable.
I'm going to be coming back to WoW again soon and I was wondering what gaming peripherals people were using.
Has the Razer Naga caught on, or did that flop like I was expecting? Are a lot of people still using keyboards or have people switched to the products like n52te?
And what is the hardware that the pro tournaments are using/allow?
I love my G13 peripheral, so dam comfortable.
There is something so appealing about backhanding someone across the face with a shield.
I'm using the Belkin n52te and a Razer Lachesis Mouse right now.
RNGesus - Saving you unreliably since BC.
G13 vs n52te? And by you not using the Razer Naga, I assume that it isn't that great?
Is the naga even allowed in tournaments?
Not sure about the tourneys.
G-13 v n52te is personal preference, I got my G-13 as an x-mas present. It just so happened it feels really natural to use so I love it. I have not tried the n52te.
There is something so appealing about backhanding someone across the face with a shield.
Using a Razer Diamondback (I like the way it fits my hand better than the Lachesis or Naga, plus it's cheaper!) and uh...a cheap microsoft keyboard. I should do something about that.
So, if I were to get a G13/n52te, would buying a gaming keyboard be useless?
But anyway, I personally use a Razer Diamondback 3g, and the Razer Arctosa. I also have a N52TE, but at the moment it is sitting under a pile of cloths behind me. I had previously used it for vehicles Battlefield 1942/2/BC2 (never WoW), but recently replaced it with a Xbox 360 controller.
ps. The official WoW tournament doesn't restrict the use of gaming peripherals with the exception of the "macro" ability included with most gaming products. For example, you can set the driver software to have your mouse button 1 to instead press the "G" key. But you can't set it to press the "G" key, then wait one second, then press it again, then wait another second, then press it again, etc.
A blue post I read about peripherals awhile back (which I didn't bookmark for some reason) said something along the lines of this: "You can use your input devices' software to emulate what macros do in-game, but you cannot set it to surpass the ability of in-game macros."

Wilson Shock FX 2.0 Umpire's Helmet 2 2
Awesome product! This is my second "Shock FX" and this one seems better than the first. Fits very well, very adjustable. Minor modifications make this model much more comfy than the first one I owned. Took a pitch off the facemask during the first game used and it took the blow well. I barely felt the impact. This is the steel mask model. I had a titanium previously. Wish you could buy replacement ear-pads for it. July 13, 2011
Very comfortable Very comfortable to wear, easy to put on and take off. Absorbs impact extremely well. April 9, 2011

With incredible graphics, stellar gameplay, and an engaging story, Far Cry: Instincts stands proud as a testament to how good a game can be.
Far Cry Instincts not only equals its PC cousin but actually manages to better it.
The island setting is realistic enough to make you start to sweat from the heat, and the advanced AI makes for some exciting action. It's just one of those games that is experienced as much as it is played.
Far Cry Instincts offers something new to the FPS genre with its feral abilities and expertly-crafted open level design. Combined with the map editor and creative multiplayer modes it comes highly recommended.
With games like Far Cry Instincts and Splinter Cell: Chaos Theory, it's quite obvious that developers are just now starting to truly take advantage of the Xbox, and it's kind of sad to see it go so soon.
Cars, boats, guns, stealth, traps, super-strength, scent-vision - it's crowded, but its density is actually our delight, because while it may not play as strategically or controllably as something like "Halo," or as evocatively and inventively as something like "Half-Life 2," it's still atmospheric, involving, and empowering.
Instincts had quite a bit going for it (good graphics, comfortable controls, unique setting) but then does a great job of screwing it all up and making you not care (repetitive levels, stupid enemy designs, slight unfinished feel in places).

FarcryMasterMay 24, 2006brilliant grafics as always and some rearly cool story like killing mercinaries and getting powers but awsome game witch i say one you must buy!
Lucas38Oct 4, 2005With a map making tool that is a Far Cry from that of Pariah, Far Cry: Instincts has what it takes to be the best FPS on the current generation of the XBOX console! Talk about lush! The water, foliage, sound effects, and overall graphic presentation is IMO phenomenal! The story mode is alot of fun and mixes stealth with a bit of run 'n' gun brilliantly! For me , as a designer, the best part is the map maker! You can create some pretty sophisticated maps with the easy to use map making mode and there is a huge sense of satisfaction when you see the world you created literally come alive! This may very well be a "Game of the Year" title, indeed!!!… Expand

Beaufitul graphics and back-drops but what gives this game a seven is the evil save points.

November 23, 2014
PHOENIX (AP) -- Candace Parker scored 34 points, the most ever in a WNBA debut, and added 12 rebounds to help the Los Angeles Sparks beat the defending champion Phoenix Mercury 99-94 on Saturday.
The previous high in a WNBA debut was 25 points by Cynthia Cooper in 1997.
The game was tied at 79 early in the fourth quarter when Parker, who led Tennessee to back-to-back NCAA titles, took over. She scored 10 straight points to give the Sparks an 89-86 lead with 3:15 to play.
Parker, who made 6-of-7 shots in the final quarter, hit a short hook shot to put the Sparks up 97-94 with 12 seconds to go.
Parker wore a brace on her left shoulder, which she dislocated during the NCAA Tournament. It didn't slow her one bit.
Parker came within two assists of becoming the first WNBA rookie to record a triple-double. Only one NBA player did it in his debut -- Oscar Robertson, in 1960.

Royal Mail disses runaway post van man
The Royal Mail has taken a less than grateful attitude towards a Bristol man who prevented a runaway post van "careering over a busy main road", as the Times puts it. Dad of two and artist Robert Moore, 63, spotted the Transit rolling backwards after the driver forgot to apply the handbrake, in an incident last September. He ran …
I will hencefortch boycott the Royal Mail.
Except when I need to post something. I'm kind of stuck there.
He should get a medal
If you ask me he should get a medal.
I was in a similar situation albeit it was down to my own stupid fault by trying to push my car to the petrol station when it ran out of fuel. Unfortanately I couldn't catch up with the car to get in and I just managed to steer into a telegraph pole (yes it was the sort of thing that Mr Bean would do). Luckily in my case no one was hurt (although the car was a bit dented).
Paris because I do occasionally have blonde moments.
He wrote to them?
He actually wrote to them asking for 'a reward or compensation'? If he had really done it out of concern for others he wouldn't care about getting money. This is just a case of someone trying to get money for nothing. Sure he probably helped by stopping the van but it's his own fault that he got hurt and I don't see any grounds for him to demand money for it.
i can't find IT.. must be a hidden level or something..
reg is beginning to = failure to focus
Surely the correct response from the Royal Mail legal team would have been
'The Cheques in the Post' and never actually send it.
Could be worse
Could have been worse, they could have accused him of theft or of attempting to gain entry by opening the door...
Couldn't the Royal Mail sent him a book of stamps as a token reward?
Royal Mail correct for once
But they really should have phrased it better. The most they should do his put this chap forward for a "local hero" award or some such. They do not owe him a penny.
Wonder what sort of compensation Bruce Willis would ask of the Nakamoto Corporation after trashing their main office.
If you want to act the hero, accept the consequences of your actions. What about al those people who drown after jumping in the water trying to save someone else? Are their relatives entitled to some sort of compensation? Shouldn't think so. I applaud the man for trying to stop a moving van, and a letter of gratitude would have been nice, but compensation? come on!
Paris, because she, too, doesn't wear hockey-pants.
Happier days
It was all much simpler when the Post Office had Crown Immunity and there was hardly any point having a handbrake at all.
Nothing to see here, move along...
Typical NuLab sounding response from the RM. Just like the PCSOs who stood around watching some kids drowning!
Maybe RM felt that he should have phoned a copper who would have duly arrived within in 10 mins. Well if the van travelled slower than a snail, maybe!! But if the f*cking thing was about to hit someone you do what you can to prevent it.
Maybe RM will give the bloke a book of stamps!
Thumbs up for the bloke's bravery.
Lawyers Scum
Blood lawyers! Complete scum of the earth. The world would be a better place without them.
Paris... cause she knows how to swing her legs in the air without causing bodily damage!
they are correct. Morally they are bankrupt.
What kind of lawsuits would have ensued had this selfless man not put his own life at risk for others?
Let's hope they are properly ashamed and see him right. I expect updates on this one REG!
Please remove the adverts which cover half the page with no way to close them (The stupid MS Advert)
Did he write to them and royal mail work out who he has, in the past, used for legal advice, or did he get a solicitor to write to them demading money?
It seems like the second, and he deserves a responce like that. I don't doubt it was a nice act, but he got exactly what I would expect in that situation, the driver said sorry and thank you, and nothing more was said. He has probably got the driver fired now.
too right
Royal Mail are spot on here, they are not liable for his stupidity and if he is so proud of having 'saved' a bunch of kids then that should be reward enough in itself.
Suitably ashamed?!?!
Not at all. I totally agree with Royal Mail.
It's his fault for leaving the handbrake off in the first place. If he hadn't jumped on to try and stop it rolling back, and the van had injured anyone, he'd have been prosecuted for driving without due care an attention (or similar).
All he got was a few grazes and bruises on his legs, nothing life-threatening or permanent. I get more than that most times I fall off my mountain-bike (which is also self-induced).
Good for Royal Mail not caving in to this crap (although the last para implies they have now :().
What did he expect a bunch of lawyers to say?
Or did he expect that his begging letter would be met with open arms?
Can one of your coder monkeys please take a look at the annoying video ads which keep blocking part of the text instead of sitting nicely in the space left for them?! It's frikkin' annoying.
I'm using IE6 (work supplied before you start!) so nothing unusual...
what a retarded country
where someone would, after doing something seemingly brave, then go on to ask for compensation for doing it.
Royal mail was absolutely right to refuse, his injuries are no-ones fault but his own.
I find this story doesn't quite sit right.
Who performs a public spirited action like this and then ASKS for a reward? Surely the fact that he saved *all those pensioners and children be reward enough?
*in reality, the van was rolling toward a parked car and nowhere near any pedestrians.
What an idiot
He should have run after it shouting "get out of the way" and waving his hands madly. Attempting to open the door of a transit van whilst its moving is only going to end badly, and it did. Okay unless there was a group of children having a picnic directly in its path or something then yes but there wasn't was there. Probably just a wall or hedge or tree. I stopped a car rolling backwards across the BP garage on the A3 once from hitting the big kerb that divides the lorry bit but I wasn't stupid enough to actually put myself in danger. I'd probably think twice now though, what if I was sued for damaging their paint with my finger prints?
I am in two minds
1 - I really hate people sueing for compensation, its just wrong, work for a living and accept your own mistakes and accidents do happen you dont need to blame some one
2 - Royal mail could say thank you and at least send the guy some flowers. If the van had hit somebody or something then they (their insurers) would have to pay up
but this will be seen a LOT more in the future as companies seek to exclude themselves from any liability. Daft thing is it'd probably cost themless to give him a small reward than to pay the legal team for the letter, and they might even get som positive publicity from it, whereas this will only turn out badly for them.
It'll be interesting to see if the driver retains his job...
But more importantly....
...did the Postman's CAT survive unhurt?
@Oliver Mayes
Sadly I have to agree. Yes it was very brave thing to do, in fact I probably would do the same thing, but actually asking for something afterwards, does seem a little big greedy.
Whenever I see these stories splashed across the gutter press, that little cynical demon lurking at the back of my mind always makes me think that there is more to this than meets the eye. We never get to the read all the facts only the writers opinions of the facts.
Re: He wrote to them?
I agree.
I wonder what he hoped the reward would be?
Paris because she has probably suffered from grazed knees at some point.
Not a Boy Scout obviously
I agree, he should get a medal, but to ask for money after having done a good deed is a bit over the top.
Compensation Culture or Deserved Reward
I aint sure about this one, I mean, on the one hand, he stopped one of their vans from possibly killing people, cause lets face it a van moving at 20mph only has to knock you under it and you're pretty much a goner (better if you go over the top, at least you're precious face and skull doesnt get squished).
But on the other, did he have to ask?
I think they should have offered him a reward for what he did, but I also think that he shouldn't have asked for it, because by asking, don't he paint himself as a ambulance chaser? It's kinda easy to see their point of view on this, I mean, nobody asked him too and maybe they were going to give him something, then got this letter asking for compensation.
It's like arriving at a birthday party only to be asked for your present for the birthday boy, when you were about to give it, now doesnt it feel like your purpose at the party isnt to celebrate the birthday, but just to provide presents? If you had given the present from your own hands, it feels better, cause you "gave" it, not "handed it over" because it was asked for.
Although nowadays a company can't admit fault in any way cause then they open themselves to liability from people who are less than honest, so what is a company to do? say thanks, give a gift, perhaps pay for some treatment (thanks for NOT getting us a lawsuit for manslaughter and putting that idiot driver in jail) THEN open themselves up for "HA HA!!! I'm in your bank accounts, cleaning your moneys!!" Cause by giving the gift, you acknowledge the fact that something happened and you feel responsible, some people would just jump all over them, what if the gift wasnt enough for the guy, ok, hire a lawyer to get a better gift.
So of course the company won't do anything because they, like others, are afraid of people suiing them, which is completely understandable. But at the same time, the guy does deserve something for possibly saving lives
Catch-22 I think, what you reckon?
What a shitty culture we live in where some guy goes after compensation for doing a good deed, gets a shitty letter from some faceless bastard corporation and then goes whingeing to the papers about old men and kids
Really no one comes out of this with any credit whatsoever
A real hero would have shrugged it off as all in a days work. You don't see Superman claiming his dry cleaning costs back off the state every time he rescues an elevator full of innocents, do you?
Sod him
"However, when Moore subsequently wrote to Royal Mail to see if he was "entitled to a reward or compensation", the company replied to his solicitors"
Where exactly did they find out who his Solicitors were? Oh wait, let me guess... He wouldn't perchance have enlisted a solicitor to write this letter for him? If a company receives a letter from someone's legal representatives requesting payment from them what do you expect them to do? If they admit guilt they are basically setting themselves up to write a blank cheque for treatment. The guy wasn't looking for a thank you letter, he wanted cash and the Royal Mail didn't want to give it to him.
Oliver Mayes - shame on you!
This guy prevented 1 or more people getting run over or an accident with other vehicles without regard for his own safety. In my book that makes him a "hero".
Misery guts Oliver Mayes would rather not get involved and let these kids, old people and other motorists be subjected to fate and the incompetence of a royal mail employee.
Re: He wrote to them?
Actually, it's much worse than that: He did not *write* to them, he sued! From the response letter, at least, it seems that Royal Mail was contacted by Mr. Moore's lawyers, and at the end they advise that the claim--pressumably a lawsuit--be withdrawn.
Outrageous indeed!
Re: He wrote to them?
Also, it would have helped if his "adventurous" antics would have, you know, worked. As it stands, he didn't manage to stop the vehicle. It was later on that it was finally halted with the help of others, proving that his stunt was dangerous and not only unnecessary, but useless; which is why none of the other participants were injured.
I succeeded in stopping a run away car, gimme a reward!
I'm with Oliver. He chose to take the risk by attempting to stop the vehicle. ASKING for something because he tried sounds like money grabbing to me. I don't knock the guy for what he did as it is very possible he has saved lives, but to ask for money for doing so is a bit much!
Damn right they should tell him to get lost!
I remember back in the olden days, a better time when the first words to come out of a have-a-go hero's were not "Now where's my money?" and I'm a mere 25 years on this earth.
What happened to the days of a cheesy photo call with the area manager gushing about how thankful they were in front of the local free rag and that being enough?
Stupid thing is, if he took it to court, he'd probably win. Britain's personal injury legal system is becoming more and more like the USA's every single week. Coming soon to a street near you: Royal Mail vans with "Warning chasing this vehicle down a hill towards a busy road may result in injury" emblazoned on the side.
</grumpy git>
@Oliver Mayes
Assuming he managed to hop into the van and apply the handbrake without getting smashed up in the process - Im pretty sure he wouldn't have bothered asking for compensation.
However when faced with one of the many retarded people Royal Mail employs and in addition to his own injuries when trying to fix someone elses mistakes I think anyone would have asked for compensation - I certainly would have!
There is a difference between a good deed (generally not involving you being battered and bruised from it) and one done out of necessity due to retarded employees.
I say fair play to the guy - I hope he gets a decent payout!
@Steve - I agree - I also wouldn't put it past this countries PC culture to do it!
@Lol Whibley - Its in bootnotes for a reason - stop whining!
@lol whibley
Did you consider the small possiblity that that's why this article's in the 'Odds and Sods' category?
If it had been a sysadmin chasing down a runaway server then maybe it might have been in one of the other categories.
@Oliver Mayes
You sir, are a bell-end. A bell-end I say.
Could it possibly be that he saw a runaway van and the dangers it posed, and instead of just standing there thinking "Well, it's going away from me so I'll be OK, shame for those kids / elderly persons / small kittens etc. though" he actually tried to make a difference.
Once the van was safe and the adrenaline wore off he realised that he was injured. Because of Royal Mail's negligence (no runaway van no need to try to stop it). I for one would expect him to get compensation if not a big fucking medal and the personal attention of a pair of page three models.
If you hadn't noticed this particular article happens to be posted under Odds & Sods>Bootnotes. That is generally a pretty good indication that the article in question may not have an IT Angle. If the article did have anything at all to do with IT it would probably be posted under Hardware/Software/Security/etc...
Your powers of observation = Fail.
Bloke averts disaster, demonstrating presence of mind and physical courage. What's not to like ? He deserves appreciation, and a reward is the simplest way of showing that. If he did the same for my car, I would sure give him a present.
@Charles Calthrop: I dare say the bloke was driven to write by the silence of the Royal Mail. And he wasn't thinking about getting a reward when he acted.
I thinks its fair to say that a moving car presents a potentially lethal threat. The employee in this case is negligent and thus the royal mail is also negligent .
While the man in question has no real claim for compensation it is fact that he helped bring (to his detriment) a very serious situation under control unless that is of course you find it acceptable that vehicles should be allowed to roll around driverless in public places?
It is my opinion that at the very least the Royal Mail should admit negligence on their part, commend this man for his bravery and for saving their collective asses from a potential law suit and make some form of goodwill gesture.
Long live email
Couldn't he have warned people?
Surely the less dangerous, but almost as effective effective, way of dealing with this would be to warn people that the van was coming? That said, I'd have probably done the same in the circumstances -- but only because of the fun factor in playing the hero.
@lol whibley By Secretgeek
"If it had been a sysadmin chasing down a runaway server then maybe it might have been in one of the other categories."
Yes, I believe the category would have been BOFH :o)
Leave it in gear.
I blame the muppet driver for not leaving it in reverse :-P
@ Neil Porter & Lee
I'm not dismissing what he did, he stopped the van and that's a good thing. But I just think It's really arrogant of him to then demand payment for something he did off his own back.
There's no evidence that there was anyone else around at the time so as far as we can tell from the facts we have, there was no immediate danger to anyone other than the possibility of property damage. (Which would be paid off by the RMs insurance)
He's clearly entitled to a thank-you from the Royal Mail and at most a commemorative stamp of him, but I don't see any reason to give him anything else.
Too many RETARDS can't read.
RETARD <<it's his fault for leaving the handbrake off in the first place. If he hadn't jumped on to try and stop it rolling back, and the van had injured anyone, he'd have been prosecuted for driving without due care an attention (or similar).>>
Read "The driver came down - he was a young guy - and said, 'Did I forget to put the hand brake on?'." Guess he wasn't the driver, then...
<<in reality, the van was rolling toward a parked car and nowhere near any pedestrians.>>
RETARD .Pedestrians move unpredictably. Parked cars (PO van excepted) generally don't.
RETARD BLoad <<'Mr Moore has been summarily dismissed and we are reviewing our recruitment procedures to ensure we don't employ any more lemmings.'">> He wasn't employed by PO.
Or maybe they're using a different version of English.
the only difference
between a have-a-go hero and an idiot, is the outcome and police prosecution.
Why wasnt he charged with being in charge of a vehicle without permission? no insurance etc, trespassing (he wasnt a RM emlployee, no right to enter the van)
come on Royal Mail, just telling him he shouldn't have wont stop others from saving kids being killed by runaway vans.
No wonder no one wants to get involved nowadays, if this is the thanks they get for saving lives, but then the courts only value killing at 18 months probation and a holiday abroad at taxpayers expense

Teachers Noticing Teachers, 2002-2003
The Teachers Noticing Teachers, or TNT, program is an important aspect of ongoing faculty development run through PLNU's Center for Teaching and Learning. Each semester the Center's director identifies one of the University's best teachers as the TNT host professor and a group of 4 to 6 professors volunteer to observe several of the host professor's class sessions during the semester. Participants then meet as a group with the Center director and the host professor to discuss what they liked in the host professor's class and what they think they could adapt to fit their own classes and their own teaching style. These meetings serve as a springboard for stimulating discussions of teaching. But the classroom observations are where the real treasures are found, as is evident from the description below of the two TNT professors for the 2002-2003 academic year.
In an article on liberal arts education, Jedediah Purdy implicitly compares good teaching to good gardening and suggests some truths about teaching in the picture he paints of his mother gardening. "I sometimes think that … she must have resisted [any] union of thought and dirt. Thought resents the gnarled roots that trip it, the mud that sullies it, the endless tasks that stake it to a place and a routine. Thought wants the privilege of cleanliness, and the liberty to leave. Yet [my mother] has succeeded in embedding her thought thoroughly in the dirt, the growing things, and the labor of that place. Her thought, which might once have carried her away, is now her way to stay. The shape of her thought is her concern for her place, her love of it, and her fear for its future, and so her devotion to the work that its maintenance requires."
As a gardener of student hearts and minds, I resonate with this image, with the desire to find clarity of focus and freedom of thought in a universe devoid of the gnarled roots of student problems, academic and emotional, no longer tethered to the stakes of homework and class preparation. I long at times for the ivory tower, that idealized place of solitude in which to work. But Purdy is right. The things I care most about grow in dirt, in the repetitive, mundane, ever-so-human daily reality of a classroom with real students, with real problems, with real limitations, doing real work that I really have to grade.
It was a privilege during the 2002-2003 year to watch two wonderful gardeners at work. In the fall several of us observed Linda Beail, particularly in her general education class The Politics of Race, Class and Gender. Dr. Beail is skilled at fostering discussion that has content and purpose. First, she provides a wealth of clearly summarized background material so that students can access it for discussion. Second, she asks questions that are open-ended, that can have more than one "correct" answer. Third, she waits in a comfortable, non-judgmental attitude for students to answer. Most important, perhaps, she knows how to do what Parker Palmer calls "hear students into speech." She recognizes that many students are silent not out of laziness or stupidity but through a sense of disempowerment. She affirms something of value in what every student says, takes every proffered idea seriously, but helps students see where they need to develop their ideas further. She is skilled at creating a free and fearless space in which students can explore all ideas.
What most impressed me, however, was the personal discipline by which she so often chose the harder path and refused the easy fix. Rather than provide all the paradigms of thought for students, she often pushed them to formulate these for themselves, to do some of the crucial tasks of higher thought. Yet she also showed great wisdom and sensitivity in gauging when students were tired of struggling with the task of thought and needed a bit of help. Watching her work in her academic garden was exciting, encouraging and energizing.
The spring semester's participants in Teachers Noticing Teachers visited Mike Lodahl's class, especially his general education Christian Tradition class. Mike's exemplary ability to control a class, even in the disorganized, centrifugal space of Boney Hall, results from his endless enthusiasm for the thing to be studied, his boundless love for and acceptance of students (he tries to know them all by name), and his cheerful determination that students will grow into their best selves. Mike backs this determination up with the personal discipline to confront inappropriate behaviors effectively but graciously. When a student started throwing paper at another student, Mike could have ignored him—and taught that the best way to handle problems is to pretend they aren't there. He could have humiliated the student and implicitly taught an even worse lesson. Instead, he told the student to not throw paper and distract the class, thanking him sincerely when he stopped, in a tone devoid of anger.
Parker Palmer recommends finding the "holographic" spot of every discipline, the small piece that represents the whole. "A critical episode in a novel, a particular historical event, a classic puzzle in science—any one of these, properly approached, can be the grain of sand in which a world is revealed." I was fortunate enough to attend a class when Mike engaged in a brief reflection on the following popular student chorus.
He came from heaven to earth
To show the way
From the earth to the cross
My debt to pay
From the cross to the grave,
from the grave to the sky,
Now I lift your name on high.
He took what I have always seen as just one more theologically thin student chorus and showed how it contained, in miniature, the incarnational theologies of three major Christian thinkers whom the students had already studied. Then he reminded us that such a theological stew was permissible because Christianity has never settled on one orthodox interpretation of the incarnation. Watching Mike give meaning to a student chorus and structure to Boney Hall was watching a master gardener at work.
We are all gardeners and the work is dirty because it is so real. It is frustrating because growth takes so much time. And it is tedious because it takes so much repetition, makes so many false starts, leads to so many dead ends. But the work is important because our students are the future of our church and our country and our world, because the growth of Christian hearts and minds is indeed God's work, and because there is as much—no, more—joy in the path itself as in the end product. So I publicly thank Linda and Mike and all the rest of my fellow gardeners for patient, painstaking labor in the soil God has provided us here at PLNU.

Anyone yearning for another glimpse of Christopher (The Rat Patrol) George? Anyone think it would be really neat to see a young woman vomit up her intestines? Anyone turned on by the idea of seeing a young man drill-pressed through the head? No? Well, for anyone else, this sickening, lame-brained film about another of those nights when the dead come out of their coffins would be an inexcusable waste of time and money. This little bit of excrescence was directed by Lucio Folti, with a largely European supporting cast whose lines have been badly dubbed in English. (R)

Quantum dot conduction impacted by stoichiometry, not dangling bondsPosted by Stephanie C on May 29th, 2013
Quantum dots are semiconducting, nanoscale clusters that show electronic characteristics distinct from both bulk-scale materials and single molecules. Their special characteristics make quantum dots attractive for a broad range of potential applications, including photovoltaics and nanoscale transistors. The size and shape of quantum dots impact electrical properties and can therefore be used to tune the [...]
Germanane: germanium's answer to graphanePosted by Stephanie C on May 15th, 2013
Soon after graphene sheets were being produced on a laboratory scale routinely, researchers began producing the hydrogenated version graphane (with a hydrogen atom on each carbon). This step is one of many approaches aimed at harnessing graphene's powerful conductivity and is also being explored for hydrogen storage and other potential applications (more info in this [...]
Silicene: silicon's answer to graphenePosted by Stephanie C on May 1st, 2013
**Updates: July 2014 — Research out of Argonne National Lab suggested that silicene may have never actually been successfully synthesized, rather that spectra indicate a mixture of silicon and silicon-substrate alloy; see article on Phys.org. August 2014 — Research out of Italy suggests that their spectra establish the presence of silicene though not in a [...]
Superparamagnetism-explicated-for usPosted by Stephanie C on April 17th, 2013
Even though the sound of it is something quite atrocious, superparamagnetism may become a familiar term in the context of nanoscale electronics and devices. Loosely speaking, superparamagnetism is a size-based phenomenon in which materials that are ferromagnetic on the macroscale — meaning predisposed toward strong magnetization at room temperature, such as iron and nickel — [...]
Atomically precise placement of dangling bonds on silicon surfacePosted by Jim Lewis on April 5th, 2013
Nanotechnology researchers in London have used a scanning tunneling microscope to create atomically precise quantum states from dangling bonds on a silicon surface.
RNA-protein motor for unidirectional movement of DNA in nanomachineryPosted by Jim Lewis on April 1st, 2013
Revolution of DNA around a central channel, rather than rotation, is the method used by a viral molecular motor to package DNA. A structure facilitating bottom-up assembly may lead to roles in nanotechnology for these nanomotors.

DENHAM SPRINGS, La. (AP) - A newly formed law enforcement task force has begun investigating drug cases in Livingston Parish.
Authorities said tell The Advocate the Livingston Parish Sheriff's Office and Denham Springs Police Department have created an inter-agency task force that officials with those agencies said they hope would grow to include more members.
Denham Springs Police Chief Scott Jones says it gives the agents more flexibility.
Both the sheriff's office and Denham Springs police have assigned three people to work together on the task force and the Walker Police Department is considering assigning an officer to the group as well.

NAPLES, Fla.- Hundreds of tea party members rallied in Naples on Friday, spending their Tax Day protesting big government spending. But a brand-new Internet tool introduced by President Obama promises to show you exactly where your hard-earned cash is going.
This Tax Day, hundreds of Naples Tea Party members took their message to the streets....rallying on the corner of U.S. 41 and Pine Ridge Road, protesting big government spending.
"We are way too overtaxed. The government is taking all the money and not letting the states run things that need to be run," Naples Tea Party member Nancy Lange said Friday.
But also on Friday, the White House debuted its new tool showing taxpayers just where their money is going. It's called the Federal Taxpayer Receipt, a brand-new program introduced by President Obama this year.
"Every American should look at it. See where our tax dollars are going," rallier Debbie McComb said Friday.
After entering your Social Security, Medicare, and Income Tax amounts, the online program quickly computes how and where your tax dollars are being spent.
"I think it's a terrific idea and when you see it, it's shocking to see where all your hard-earned money goes and what wasteful spending is going on in our government," rallier Jennifer Miller said.
The receipt breaks down tax contributions to individual categories such as national defense, health care, and education....the White House's effort to create a more transparent government. Still, some Tea Party members aren't sold.
"If it's run by the government, I don't trust it. I can't trust the government so I don't know if I'd even do that," Lange said.
The online Federal Taxpayer Receipt also breaks down what percentage of your Income Tax goes toward different government departments.
To see what you're paying, visit the White House website at: http://www.whitehouse.gov/taxreceipt

Let's not get it twisted. Bon Iver's "Woods" is an amazing, mesmerizing song, a sort of Daft-Punk-gone-acapella existentialist mediation on loneliness and self-doubt that deftly exploits repetition and Autotune to make a gothic, isolationist point about how every man is, ultimately, an island.

"C'mon, team. Let's go paint the undefended town a nice shade of 'BLAM'."In the course of a Cruel and Unusual Death or even when it's just that Everybody Was Kung-Fu Fighting, things get messy. And the things that suffer most are the buildings (inside and out) in town that get covered in everyone's blood. It's usually also the sign of a particularly violent person walking around just doing what they do best. Someone may help the job along by leaving a Bloody Handprint. High-Pressure Blood could also do the trick, as well as a victim dealing with a gaping head wound. Particularly shown when a director takes creative liberties on death scenes. If a hero comes running back home only to find his family and friends used this way, it may lead to a Heroic BSOD. Usually goes well with Gorn with a side of Ludicrous Gibs for in-your-face action.
