I've found that engineering conjures up a different picture for just about everyone I've talked to, from the Dilbert-esque cubicle dweller staring at a computer screen, to Tony Stark welding together some awesome new robot suit to save the world. In my experience as a engineering major at Dartmouth, it's a mix between the two extremes. Sometimes it's long hours trying to find a misplaced semicolon in my Matlab code, sometimes it's high-fives and hugs as an hare-brained experiment held together by duct tape and desperation finally works, and sometimes it's even a little bit of world-saving.
First things first – the coursework part of the major can be confusing. There are two undergrad degree programs at Dartmouth: you start with the Bachelor of Arts in Engineering Sciences, which is a standard 4-year Liberal Arts degree. Then, about two thirds of these 'AB' students go on to pursue a Bachelor of Engineering degree, which traditionally takes a fifth year. The AB as a solo degree is usually geared toward students who aren't planning on becoming professional engineers (consulting, medicine, etc.), while the BE is geared at students who are interested in professional engineering or advanced degrees in their field. The AB has been an awesome experience thus far, especially since it requires you to explore a variety of different engineering disciplines rather than specializing early. You start with intro classes in math, chem, physics, and computer science, then move on to core engineering classes, usually in sophomore year. These core classes are really cool, since you get to see how a lot of problems in seemingly different scientific areas can be modeled and tackled with the same set of problem-solving tools. There's also plenty of lab and project experience, even that early on. After the core classes, you move on to distributive and gateway classes, choosing from a few different disciplines. A lot of these classes have useful applications regardless of what you eventually want your career to be. In my case, I'm a chemical engineer hoping to go into energy, but I still took materials science and environmental engineering classes along with the standard chemical engineering and thermodynamics courses. From there, it's on to higher-level specialized classes and a thesis or capstone design project. If you plan on the BE, it's an extra year or so of advanced classes in a concentration of your choosing (mechanical, electrical, etc.). You can finish the BE at the same time as your AB and graduate in four years, but it's tough. I'm taking two extra terms next year and I'm really glad I have the chance to take more electives and liberal arts classes while I'm at Dartmouth.
This year, I've been spending a lot of my time working on my capstone design project: a cheap, home-scale device to remove arsenic from drinking water in rural areas. Like almost every other project in the engineering program, it's in a small group, which is great because it's a way to share ideas and learn from each other as you learn more from your own research. These senior design projects are always in collaboration with another company or organization who is interested in bringing Dartmouth students in on the project. We've been working with VillageTech Solutions, a non-profit out of California, and it's been really incredible to do engineering work this in-depth and important this early in my career. One of our group members even travelled to Nepal over winter break for a field study! I still haven't really processed the fact that this project has the potential to legitimately improve or even save lives when it's eventually deployed, but it's easily been my most personally rewarding academic experience of that last four years. Hopefully I'll post a picture in the next couple weeks when we get our full-size prototype working.
Another great thing about a Dartmouth education is how much the professors care about undergraduates. I've had several undergraduate research experiences already, either working as a Presidential Scholars research intern (not as pompous as it sounds) building a device to measure the permeability of snow using sound waves instead of digging core samples.
I also spent my off-term junior year on campus doing full-time research on ice samples (I just couldn't get enough of the Hanover winter, so I decided to spend it working in a literal freezer) and I surprisingly learned a lot about theoretical science even while a lot of the job was building things and working with my hands.
Even though engineering has been a lot of work, I'm really glad I chose to stick with it. The opportunity to learn from amazing faculty, give back to the community, and build some really cool stuff has been completely worthwhile. It's also a really collaborative environment, where nobody is terrifyingly competitive or overly concerned with a few hundreths of a point on their GPA (oh hey pre-med). It's a real community, doing really awesome things.
Anyway, sorry for the long post, I'll be back next week. Happy Presidents' Day!

I registered to download winInstall and upon downloading it ireceived an email from a guy that asked me if all went well and if i have any queries. I don't know if it has been mentioned on here (i didn't do a search :oops: ) but he then replied with this message
"Thanks for your mail. The area of MSI packaging is relatively complex however we are happy to offer you our support. To be honest the very best way that we can help you is to arrange for one of our consultants to run you through how to use WinINSTALL. We use a system called Webex so that you can dial into our system and you can see how to package and have any questions you have answered. All you need to attend is a web browser and a phone line for the conference call. It is a technical run through so will save you a lot of time getting familiar with how to use WinINSTALL. It is free of charge and we do this as it saves us a lot of time supporting potential customers and the feedback is always positive.
Please let me know if you are happy to have a session and the best number to contact you on? I will then get one of the team to contact you to arrange a session."
I thought that this was pretty good. I don't know about their software however as i downloaded it but never got a chance to look at it. I also haven't had the time to accept the offer of training.
But it might be interesting for the people that do have the time and wish to know more about MSI packaging as there seem to be a few people that want to know just how to do it, me myself included!

"Hey DM!" Khushi dramatically slapped her forehead
on seeing her 4-year-old son, Ashar entering the room from the poolside, his
clothes caked with mud from head to toe. "What happened to your clothes?
What were you doing out there?" She asked wide eyed.
Ashar's black t-shirt and cut off jeans could hardly be seen under all the mud. His elbows and knees were literally brown from the plastered mud.
"Calm down Khushi!" Arnav said with a low chuckle, emerging from the glass door leading to the poolside as well. "Ashar helped me with gardening today." He said, smiling at his son proudly.
Khushi's face broke into a smile as she looked from father to son, both sets of identical brown eyes sparkling and faces adorned with grins.
"Did my Raja Beta have a good time?" Khushi asked her son, ruffling his hair lightly.
"Yes mum, It was sooo much funnn!" He bobbed his head in affirmation, his cheeky grin in place. "We'll do it tomorrow too, Ok dad? After you come home from office?"
"Sure buddy." Ashar smiled at his son, "Now go and take a shower!"
"But whats the point Dad? You promised we're going to swim in the pool in a bit... I'll get clean there by myself." He grinned his eye-crinkling smile.
Ashar laughed loudly, "You'll get clean but the pool water will get dirty, wouldn't it? Now off you go. Daddy will go and take a shower too!" He smiled as Ashar nodded before running away.
"Khushi!" Arnav suddenly turned to his wife, "where's my little princess? I haven't seen her in ages!"
"Yeah right! Ages!" She scoffed playfully. "You're the one who put her to sleep, Remember? She's in her cot!" She smiled while sitting down to fold the washed laundry.
Arnav quickly walked over to his 8-month-old daughter, Asmara, and murmured a 'Hello there, precious!' in a baby voice before turning to Khushi and asking in a low voice, 'Can I wake her up?? I want to play with her!" He stated eagerly.
"No, please don't Arnav! She just went to sleep." Khushi let out, smiling on seeing Arnav's martyred expression.
"But I want to play with my baby!" He whined like a child. "And I'm pretty sure she wants to play with her daddy too, don't you Princess?" He directed the last part of the speech towards his sleeping daughter.
"Yes, yes. I'm sure Asmara wants to play with you too but you know, she is your daughter and she gets really cranky if anyone disturbs her sleep. So go and take a shower. She'll be up in a while anyway." Khushi explained to him patiently.
"Okay!" Arnav said with a light frown before whispering in Asmara's direction, "Wake up quickly Princess! Daddy's waiting!" He lightly kissed his daughter's forehead before heading to the washroom, stopping midway to plant a kiss on Khushi's cheek as well, his eyes shining with mischief and love.
Khushi smiled contentedly as she felt her cheeks flush. Her family was just perfect! Arnav was such a amazing father, it sometimes seemed too good to be true. Every Sunday such as today, he'd spend the entire day with his kids and her. Not a single call from office was allowed unless it was something really very important.
Although they didn't do anything special but just the sight of Arnav enjoying with his kids made her heart burst with joy and pride. She couldn't have prayed for more perfect Sundays with her family.
"Khushi, we're baaack!"
Khushi, who was working in the kitchen preparing lunch, felt her lips curve up in an involuntary smile on hearing Arnav's voice. The father-son duo had gone out for some ice-cream after swimming, on Ashar's demands. Arnav had insisted that she accompanied them too but she had declined as she had lunch to take care of, which was already very late as Ashar and Arnav had insisted she joined them in the pool as well. And she had to admit, she had enjoyed herself to her heart's content. She had never known swimming was so much fun.
"Mum! Mum! I had 3 cones of Ice cream today! 2 Chocolates and 1 Strawberry!" Ashar whizzed straight into the kitchen, yelling excitedly.
Arnav entered the kitchen behind him, chuckling loudly at his son's innocence and excitement.
"And guess what Ashar got for you, Khushi?" Arnav asked his wife playfully.
"Jalebies!" Ashar announced proudly, grinning a toothy smile, revealing a paper box from behind his back.
"Oh Really?? My Raja Beta got me Jalebies? Thank you so much!" Khushi squealed happily before grabbing hold of her son and kissing him on his cheek enthusiastically and he beamed back, mighty proud of himself.
"Ashar, what do we say in return when someone thanks us?" Arnav asked his son with a smile.
"You're welcome, Mum!" Ashar told Khushi, grinning cheekily.
"Thats right, buddy!" Arnav smiled proudly,
already training his son into a perfect gentleman. Something Khushi found
absolutely adorable.
"Dad helped me too, Mum. He was the one who gave the idea of getting Jalebies and then we went together to get them. You should give him a thank you kiss too." Ashar said, nodding intelligently and Khushi felt herself blush as Arnav leaned his cheek towards her with a smirk to receive his reward.
"Arnav! Not in front of Ashar!" Khushi whispered hastily.
"Oh well, guess I'll have to wait till we're alone but the delay will cost you." He winked at her mischievously and Khushi hit him on the shoulder, smiling herself.
"Mum, do you know what I did today?" Ashar intruded, "I drove Dad's car!" He continued happily in one breath before Arnav could stop him.
"What?? What do you mean by that, Ashar?" Khushi asked him sweetly while throwing Arnav a Oh-you-are-so-dead look.
"Khushi, he just sat in my lap while I was driving. Nothing dangerous!" Arnav quickly defended himself.
"It was so much fun! I held the steering wheel and turned the car too." Ashar bobbed his head happily and Arnav cringed, mentally kicking himself for not telling Ashar that this was going to be their little secret.
"Ashar, lunch is ready! Why don't you go and wash your hands?" Khushi blabbered the first excuse that sprung in her head to get him out of the impending war zone. She never fought with Arnav in front of her children.
"Ok Mum!" He gave Arnav a hug around his legs before running out of the kitchen.
"Arnav!" Khushi thundered once Ashar was out of earshot. "Do you even realize how dangerous it is to drive with a kid on your lap?"
"Relax Khushi! I only let him on my lap on our street. You know there's almost no traffic there." He defended himself.
"I don't care, Arnav! Its still very dangerous! And Ashar's saying he turned the car by himself?" She asked in a shrill voice.
"Khushi! He's 4 year old! He can't turn an SUV by himself. I did! He was just holding on to the steering and I let him think he was the one doing it." Arnav explained patiently.
"Ok, but what if Ashar starts thinking that he can drive by himself and try it when he's in the car alone?" She retorted.
"Ashar is fully aware of the fact that he's not allowed in the driving seat by himself. He has promised me. And you know that kid doesn't go against my wishes. So stop freaking out!" He told her gently.
"Arnav, its still very dangerous to drive with a kid on your lap. You can get distracted and that is what leads to accidents!" Khushi almost shrieked.
"Sshh Khushi! Hold on a second!" Arnav suddenly held up his hand halting her speech for a moment.
"No, I will not shut up, Arnav!" Khushi began but Arnav quickly placed his hand on top of her mouth shutting her up effectively while listening intently.
"Asmara! I'll get her!" He let out, before turning on his heels and dashing away. Khushi then too registered their daughter's faint crying and smiled involuntary on seeing her husband's care for their daughter before she remembered that she was very angry at him and her face hardened. She had to talk him out of this driving thingy.
Arnav went straight to the cot where his daughter was lying, waving her tiny fists in the air and crying softly.
"Sshh, Daddy's here, Princess!" He whispered soothingly picking her in his arms right away and she stopped crying immediately.
"Daddy's so bad, he left his little Princess all by herself!" He cooed softly, cuddling her to his chest.
"But you know Sweetie, it isn't really my fault. I wanted to take you out with us too but your Mum wouldn't go and Bhaiya was really insisting on having ice-cream so I had to. But I missed my little angel so much! Bet you missed your Daddy too, right?" He continued his murmurings in her ear as he took her to the kitchen.
Khushi always loved listening to Arnav talking to their daughter but right now, even that didn't lift up her mood. Just as most people sing to pacify their kids, Arnav talked. He would talk nothings into Asmara's ears in a low husky baby voice for hours, telling her about his day at office, the traffic he faced on the way and all sorts of random things and she would listen with rapt attention as if understanding each and every word of his. Khushi found this all adorable and often joked about how he talked more with his daughter than her.
"Arnav, we weren't done yet!" Khushi let out with her hands on her hips as soon as Arnav entered the kitchen.
"Khushi, lets not fight in front of our daughter. What
will she think?" Arnav let out playfully, smiling as he kissed his
daughter's chubby cheeks, too happy with the fact that she was finally awake to
pay much attention to Khushi.
"Arnav, this is serious! I don't want you driving with Ashar on your lap after this. You guys could've had an accident or something! What would I have done then? You know I can't live without you guys!" She shrieked, her voice getting louder and more high pitched with every word.
Seeing Khushi's distraught state made Arnav realize how serious she actually was and he quickly lowered his daughter in her pram before going up to his wife and quietly engulfing her in his arms whispered, "Calm down, Khushi!"
He then held her by her shoulders and looked into her eyes reassuringly. "You know that I would never... I repeat, never ever do anything that could harm our children. They're way too precious for that! Our street was deserted and Ashar literally begged so I gave in. It was nothing dangerous. So please take a deep breath and calm down!" He instructed slowly.
"But still Arnav..." She began but stopped when he raised his eye brows and taking a deep breath, she continued, "I know you'll never let anything harm our children and I trust you. You're an amazing father Arnav but you have to learn to sometimes say no to our children. For their own good... You know after what happened to my Amma and Babu Ji, I fear accidents as it is. So please don't do this again. Please?" She pleaded softly, holding his face in her hands.
Arnav felt tears suddenly stinging his eyes as he realized that he had failed to comprehend the reason and the insecurity behind Khushi's anger. "Ok, I promise! And I'm so sorry for upsetting you." He added in a husky voice, kissing her forehead gently.
Khushi showed her gratitude by placing a soft kiss on his stubble making him smile.
"As we're already on it, how about we take care of all the other pending kisses as well?" He smirked to lighten the atmosphere and it worked as Khushi let out a giggle, pushing him away.
"Not in front of Asmara!" She teased, her eyes dancing merrily.
"How about now?" Arnav smirked pulling her behind the kitchen door making a shy but still dazzling smile light Khushi's face.
"Do you have any idea how breathtakingly beautiful you look when you smile?" He asked, caressing her pink cheeks making her blush even ever darker shade of red.
"Always keep smiling Khushi. Its the second best thing you can do with your lips." He added, smirking.
"Second? Whats the first one?" She asked, confused.
"Let me show you." He whispered in a husky voice, his eyes twinkling as he planted his lips on top of hers.

She tells you to make a wish and says it should come true if the bamboo floats. You can wish for one of three things: animals, family, or weather. Select "Animals" if you want yours to be happy and healthy. Select "Family" if you want to have a baby soon. Select "Weather" if you want good weather, so you do not have to trek to the Goddess Pond every time a typhoon threatens.

Modulus Checking is a procedure for applying a mathematical algorithm to an Account Number (or an account number and Sort Code combination) to check that it is valid for a particular range of sort codes. In the absence of an entire database of every bank account, it is the next best way of checking the likely validity of an account number. In most cases modulus checking works by validating a set of numbers against a specific check digit or digits.
In the UK, there are 66 modulus checking rules published by APACS/Bacs. Experian Payments significantly exceeds this number with 115. These rules are available as tables on disk and require coding into a software application. However, these modulus rules change regularly and when rules are added or amended, corresponding changes must be applied to the application which uses them.
Although modulus checking is often promoted by the banking industry as the solution to data accuracy, it is only one aspect of validation - it does not check the actual existence of a sort code or provide any details of branch names and addresses.
If the modulus check fails, it is not necessarily the account number which is incorrect. It could be a valid account number, but the sort code has been mis-interpreted or keyed-in incorrectly. Even worse, if the sort code that is incorrectly keyed-in is outside of the validation range, the standard modulus checking rules would pass the details.
Modulus checking does not provide any indication as to whether a sort code or account number supports Direct Debits or Direct Credits.
Modulus checking does not carry out Transposing of account numbers. The numerous routines for transposing non-standard accounts into standard eight digit accounts must be coded separately. Where transposing is required, modulus checking must be applied once the transposing has been completed.

The movie business has always had trouble making quality sequels of successful films in any genre. Nearly 40 years later "Godfather II" is still jumps out as one of the rare films that was as good, if not better, than the original film. The law of diminishing marginal returns has been especially true with respect to comedy sequels. Very few talk fondly about either "Ghostbusters 2" or Wayne's World 2," and you would be very hard-pressed to find anyone who had anything positive to say about this year's "Hangover III."
Will Ferrell is arguably the most bankable comedy film star today and while he has made his mark playing laughably immature and egomaniacal guys, he has proven that he can be a credible lead in a drama. I urge everyone to check out "Everything Must Go," in which he plays a corporate manager who has just been fired because of alcoholism.
Ferrell has often admitted that the question that he has been asked more than any other in the past nine years is "When will there be a sequel to 'Anchorman'?" It was in that surprise 2004 hit movie that Ferrell created his most indelible character, blowhard self-absorbed 1970s San Diego TV news anchor, Ron Burgundy. "Stay classy, San Diego!" was how signed off every broadcast. That expression has become a source of civic pride for San Diegans.
"Anchorman 2" has a lot of good ideas in its script but the execution leaves a lot to be desired.
The idea of moving Burgundy, and his old local broadcast team of loudmouth redneck sportscaster Champ Kind (David Koechner), nutcase weatherman Brick Tamland (Steve Carell), and ladies' man investigative reporter Brian Fontana (Paul Rudd nicely channeling a younger Geraldo Rivera) to 1980 New York to be part of the first 24-hour news network, Global New Network (GNN, get it?) would be in itself enough fodder for a movie.
There is very little of the time period here with the exception of such great songs as Christopher Cross's "Ride Like The Wind," the Steve Miller Band's "Jet Airliner," and Heatwave's "Groove Line" in the soundtrack. There is also very little of New York City here as most of the filming was done in Georgia where the costs are lower and the tax rebates are higher than here in the Empire State. While I understand Paramount Pictures' desire to keep the film's budget under control, today's audiences are too sophisticated. Atlanta is a wonderful city but Paramount shouldn't insult our intelligence trying to pass if off as New York City.
The film starts out with Burgundy being let go by another network while his wife and co-anchor, Veronica Corningstone (Christina Applegate) gets a promotion to be the evening news broadcast. That predictable plot device leads to a drawn-out and unfunny temper tantrum by Burgundy who walks out on his wife and child.
He gets a second chance when he is hired by Freddie Shapp (Dylan Baker), a producer at GNN, to anchor the graveyard 2-5 AM shift. The new network is a chance to introduce some new foils for Burgundy such as the handsome and preening Jack Lime (James Marsden) who seems himself as the alpha male anchor at GNN; as well as Aussie GNN founder Kench Allenby (Josh Lawson) who is an amalgam of Richard Branson, Rupert Murdoch, and Ted Turner.
Instead of utilizing those characters fully, they are merely there to serve as quick cameos as most of the time is spent Burgundy snapping at his old San Diego buddies and recovering from blindness caused by a head injury incurred while ice skating. I don't know whose idea of humor that is.
A work romance with African-American GNN news director Linda Jackson (Meagan Good) leads to a "Guess Who's Coming To Dinner" spoof. Only the biggest fans of cringe comedy will enjoy it after the first 30 seconds.
The biggest flaw of "Anchorman 2" is that director Adam Mckay and lead actor Will Ferrell (they double as the screenwriters) spent so much time worrying about the cameos of big names as Liam Neeson, Harrison Ford, Kanye West, Tina Fey, Amy Poehler, Vince Vaughn, and Will Smith, that they forgot to create a coherent ending.
To be fair, there are a good number of laughs in "Anchorman 2" but they get diluted by the two-hour running time of the film. Wait until it hits cable or Netflix.

This is a very old graphite study (done when I was just thirteen!), taken from a photo.
It's strange to look back at works like this and see how scratchy the pencil marks are! That said, I am still very proud of these drawings: they almost make me wonder if I could even still draw like that now!
Back when I created these studies, I was determined to make a living as a dedicated wildlife artist – a dream I later abandoned for various reasons.
I have recently realised that, regardless of the outcome, I need to return to doing what I love more than anything. These simple early sketches remind me of that and of the person I was back then (fourteen year old Alice was so much cooler than twenty-nine year old Alice! Aaargh!).
Loving these new works AVS!
Thanks Bart, I'm doing a lot of work on extant species at the moment, so hopefully you should be seeing more stuff like this in the weeks to come!
So glad you like 'em! : )
Please participate in THIS FORUM where you can view and congratulate your fellow featured members on their works… You can also find the link to the special Challenge for this lovely feature!

Bearing Drift was founded by J.R. Hoeft in 2004 and is today Virginia's premiere conservative web site. What's the name mean? Bearing Drift is a nautical term that describes relative motion. Having bearing drift is good, as it means that the likelihood of a collision is low. Without bearing drift, the risk of collision dramatically increases as range decreases. According to the U.S. Coast Guard "rules of the road", the best course of action when there is a risk of collision is to alter ones course to starboard – the right. In this case, we believe that's also true in public policy. When it looks like the ship of state is going to wreck, alter the course to the right. You can't go wrong! Bearing Drift is part of Virginia Line Media LLC, which also produces the weekly radio program, "The Score", the weekly news letter "Dead Reckoning" as well as Bearing Drift Magazine (on temporary hiatus).
Bearing Drift does not solicit, accept or otherwise receive any funding from political campaigns or candidates for public office in exchange for favorable coverage, unfavorable coverage of opponents, or silence on issues of the day. All posts on the site reflect the personal opinions of the author and do not necessarily represent the opinions or beliefs of Virginia Line Media LLC, its owners or other Bearing Drift contributors. Bearing Drift no longer issues endorsements of candidates for public office, although individual contributors may do so. All Bearing Drift contributors are required to disclose any financial relationships with candidates or campaigns they are affiliated with and failure to do so is grounds for removal from contributor status.

An exhaustive search of the Ginga data on γ‐ray burst GB870303 reveals two separate time intervals during which statistically significant line features are evident. One (previously unreported) interval shows a single prominent line feature at ≊20 keV; a second, corresponding to the interval reported by Murakami et al., shows two line features at ≊20 and 40 keV. From model fits to the data, we find that both sets of lines are well‐described by cyclotron resonant scattering in a magnetic field B≊1.8×1012 G, and that the differences in the line strengths between the two intervals are significant. The variations are qualitatively similar to those produced by a change in the viewing angle θ relative the magnetic field. We conjecture that the change in θ is due to rotation of the neutron star, and derive limits 45 sec ≲P≲180 sec on the rotation period P.

Perhaps it seems a bit silly to be complaining about how a game will soon devour everyone's free time, especially in this age where games are mostly getting shorter and we're always crying about how we're not getting our $60 worth, but dammit, we're still terrified of certain impending releases because we're gamers, and by god if we had the willpower to stop ourselves from playing games we wouldn't be in this whole mess in the first place, would we? We swear we actually get heart palpitations and break out in a clammy sweat when we think about this handful of upcoming games, because any one of these could mean that we'll miss out on every other good game for a while as we pound away at our obsession. These games aren't necessarily long in the traditional sense, like old-fashioned RPGs that took a minimum of fifty hours, but rather these titles will likely have endless sidequests and general dicking-around options that we'll choose to take a hundred hours before we begrudgingly schlep into the final quest.
Dark Souls
Friggen' Dark Souls is going to be so bad for us because not only will it eat a good sixty hours of our time, but half that time will be spent dying and cursing. We're going to be miserable for a good portion of those hours, and we're going to love every minute of that misery. If that doesn't make sense, then you need to play Demon's Souls. Now. Preview
The Elder Scrolls V: Skyrim
The Elder Scrolls games are always enormous timesinks (as anyone who's played Oblivion or Morrowind can attest), filled with epic quests and optional tasks that can easily suck up hundreds of hours, and Skyrim promises to be the biggest one yet. Not only is it more ambitious than Oblivion, with sharper visuals, around 120 distinct dungeons and Bioshock 2-inspired, two-fisted weapon/spell-wielding, but its Radiant Story system will mix up pre-written quests with semi-randomized ones. Preview
Kingdoms of Amalur: Reckoning
We had no idea how huge this game would be until we learned some recent details, although do we really need to know more than that it has 120 unique dungeons (how did that end up as the same number as Skyrim)? Fine: there are hundreds of items which can be crafted into hundreds of other items, and the combat is more like God of War than Elder Scrolls, which means the combat alone will likely make us want to play this forever. Preview
Saints Row: The Third
We loved the shit out of Grand Theft Auto IV, but as a "sandbox game," Saints Row: The Third makes it look as if Rockstar's lost its way. Where are the needlessly violent Rampage missions, the skydiving gun fights, the civilian loss, and, for the love of god, the dildo-based weapons?! Well, thankfully, they've all taken up residence in Steelport, and this time around Volition Inc. decided a total lack of restraint is how to best present a wonderfully gratuitous open-world with an infinite amount of options for you and a co-op buddy. Care to fire a missile into a group of nuns from a supersonic jet you're piloting in the nude? Saints Row: The Third has a place for you… Preview
The Elder Scrolls V: Skyrim
As promising as the other nominees look, we're calling this one for Skyrim. Part of it is down to the game's pedigree – like we said above, the previous Elder Scrolls games were legendary timesinks that ate up more weekends than we can count and took months to finish, and Fallout 3 – created by the same development team – was no less involving. However, Skyrim brings a host of additions that have us extremely intrigued, not the least of which are its dragons, which are huge, appear randomly and can grant you new powers once you've brought them crashing down to earth. There are smaller improvements as well, including villages with their own dynamic economies, a more customizable leveling system, an elaborate crafting system and a greater focus on story when exploring dungeons. It all adds up to a game that promises to dominate our lives this November, and we can't wait to let it.

Tweet from AT&T says Samsung Infuse 4G to get fed Gingerbread this month
But this is about to change. In response to a question sent from a Samsung Infuse 4G user as to when he might receive Android 2.3, AT&T responded that the Gingerbread update will becoming to the device sometime this month. If the carrier keeps its word, in just a bit more than 2 weeks, owners of the Samsung Infuse 4G won't have to have that perpetual scowl upon their face-no more ranting about devices with smaller screens running more recent software. Now that doesn't mean that some delay won't occur, pushing the process into September, but as of right now, all lights are green and all systems go for the Gingerbread update coming to the Samsung Infuse 4G before the end of August.
By the way, if you click on the link on the tweet, you are sent to an AT&T press release that says that all AT&T Android phones released this year by the carrier will be receiving Android 2.3 at some point during the year. Besides the Samsung Infuse 4G, that includes the HTC Inspire 4G, LG Phoenix, Motorola Atrix 4G, Pantech Crossover and Samsung Captivate.

Summer Chemistry Camps
During a summer Fun with Chemistry Camp one of our undergrad group leaders works with a middle school Chem Camper.
Fun with Chemistry camps have been a local Madison tradition since their inception in 1984. The 5-day morning or afternoon summer programs offer a perfect combination of innovative hands-on curriculum and fun! In summer 2014, campers entering grades 5 to 8 will carry out a variety of laboratory experiments including:
- Metals flame tests
- Plating pennies
- Paper chromatography
- Reaction of monomers to create slimy polymers
- DNA isolation
- Substance analysis
- Ferrofluid synthesis
- Synthesis of gold and silver nanoparticles
At an ICE Fun with Chemistry camp, campers actually get to do science, not just watch it happen! Through experiments, projects, and discussions they explore chemistry and science in laboratories in the Department of Chemistry at the University of Wisconsin-Madison. Experienced staff supervise students in small groups emphasizing lab safety while communicating fundamental concepts in science and encouraging campers to exercise their reasoning skills.
The registration fee for each one-week camp session is $200. Campers may register for multiple sessions. Support from Sigma-Aldrich enables us to offer scholarships for those who document the need. For more information about scholarships or to apply for a scholarship, you must contact ICE at email@example.com or by phone at 608/262-3033 before proceeding.
Chem Camp Comments
See what parents and past campers have to say about the Chem Camp experience!
- The program was wonderful. My daughter learned so much and can't wait to attend in 2011.
- Great experience for a boy who loves science!
- Can't wait to go again. [My child] told [their] 6th grade science teacher about it...and showed [their] class the things they brought home!
- They absolutely loved it. [My kids] came home every night excited. Loved the labs and pretty much everything!
2014 Summer Chem Camps were a great sucess! Look for 2015 Summer Chem Camp schedules and registration this winter.
A description of the 2014 chem camps and schedule are below.
Fun with Chemistry Camp
July 7–11, and July 21–25, 8:45 a.m. to 12 noon
At the Fun with Chemistry camp, each day your camper will have two hours of laboratory work, and a period of group discussion. Experiments students will run include flame tests of common metals, making acid-base test papers, reaction of an acid and a new penny, chromatography (several), plating copper, polymer (several).
Fun with Chemistry Inventions
July 7–11, 1 p.m. to 4:15 p.m
In this hands-on camp students will learn and practice concepts from chemistry, engineering, and materials science. A variety of new experiments have been added for 2014! Campers will learn: to use a Scanning Tunneling Microscope (STM); how to add a graphene layer to a copper foil and observe the change of physical properties; to synthesize ferrofluids, gold and silver nanoparticles, liquid crystals and more.
Fun with Forensic Chemistry Camp
July 21–25, 1 p.m. to 4:15 p.m.
During each session of the Fun with Forensics Science camp participants will gather evidence from a crime scene, collect DNA information, gather and interpret fingerprints, employ the scientific method to solve mysteries and crimes. Guest speakers from forensic science related careers enhance the program's connection to real-life science.

Talking to yourself out loud? Jabbering? Muttering? Wittering away on some flight of fancy?
Why not? Why wait to get compliments from someone else? If you deserve them, pat yourself on the back, give yourself a good pep talk! Create a dialogue with yourself so that you can hear what you're thinking! Whether you're living on your own or living with others, you're always living with yourself and you can always be there FOR yourself with a cheerful word of wisdom or two hundred. So, help yourself yourself with Soliloquous! You won't feel alone without it.
But please, remember to be respectful and try not to hurt your own feelings. And shut up when you hear yourself tell yourself that's enough.

Haiti's Michael Brun Talks EDM Stardom and Label
By Jacob Katel
King Tubby was one of the originators of dub, a record-production style that began in Jamaica in the late Sixties by simply wiping the vocals off a popular rock steady or reggae ditty. The resulting stripped-down mix gave dancehall DJs space to talk over the instrumental track, clearing the way for "dub poets" like U-Roy and Big Youth, who essentially invented rap. Tubby exponentially expanded the dub palette around 1972 by adding echo and reverb effects to keep the mix of a song in constant flux, while simultaneously bearing down hard on the thunderous drums and bass. Before him, dub versions were consigned to the B-side of a 45 rpm single. But he broke tradition and launched a new art form by issuing an album consisting entirely of versions in 1974. His first two dub LPs are collected on the double-CD import The Dubmaster Presents the Roots of Dub and Dub from the Roots (distributed in the U.S. by Caroline Records).
Tubby's compositions were often as successful as the hit songs from which they were derived. While you can appreciate one of his versions without knowing a single note of its source material, a song like "Declaration of Dub" only becomes fully resonant as a redefinition of the Abyssinians' "Declaration of Rights." To hear it is to mentally cross-fade between his dub and the original record. Not that he made the comparison easy. Unlike today's club remixers, who slice and dice vocals and instrumental hooks to provide signposts for the original verse and chorus, Tubby's minimalist productions provide few aural landmarks. They also take studio craft to the extreme with treatments that feed back into one another until the instruments dissolve together into a metallic fizz. It's the sound of pop music eating itself. Comparing "Declaration of Dub" with "Declaration of Rights" is simple enough for the first few bars. The opening organ riff and "ooh-ooh" background vocals let you easily fill in Johnny Clarke's lead voice. A slightly different drum and bass mix from line to line takes you to the chorus. But no further markers appear, and you soon lose your way, with no choice but to surrender to the throbbing drums and bass.
Few tracks on these albums feature vocals at all. The ghostly singing on "Roots of Dub" is pushed so deeply into the background, you wonder if it isn't merely bleed-through from oversaturated master tapes. Vinyl surface noise, not to mention the comparatively low fidelity of Seventies hi-fi gear, would have concealed the voice that even today requires close listening to discern, but Tubby left it in on purpose -- presumably because the large sound systems used in Jamaican clubs would have made it evident.
One reason that Tubby's original creations survive his own radical surgery is the strength of producer Bunny Lee's house band, the Aggrovators, who provided backing for Clarke, John Holt, Cornell Campbell, and other top-selling singers whose songs Tubby reimagines. The Aggrovators boast the skin-tight rhythm section of influential bassist Robbie Shakespeare and Wailers' drummer Carlton Barrett along with guitarist Earl "Chinna" Smith, keyboardist Augustus Pablo, percussionist Aston "Family Man" Barrett, and other now-legendary members of the reggae pantheon.
By peeling back the layers of well-known tunes and reducing them to permutations of sheer rhythmic glee, Tubby was way ahead of his contemporaries. Whether you appreciate his dubs as a reaction to the smooth sheen of classic Jamaican pop or simply love the low-frequency slam, his art feels palpably vibrant on this two-disc set.

Sebastian Stan
Stan's leather high tops with contrasting soles break up the black of his trousers and compliment his white shirt. Fresh and smart sums this one up.
Spencer Boldman
Don't forget about the versatility of a pair of corduroys. While at the American Hustle premiere, Boldman shows how they can be worn with more than just a sweater, it only takes items like a leather jacket and jodhpur boots to give them an edge.
Jon Kortajarena (right)
The double-breasted suit has always been a sharp look, but it's recently made a huge comeback in the world of #menswear. The extra set of buttons cinches in the waist, making every guy's physique just that much better.
Hugh Jackman
A classic two button blue suit is something every man needs, it'll take you from the office to dinner with the change of a tie. On another note, Jackman's recent skin cancer scare, underscores the importance of facial care.
