Did you know they were cartooning classmates? Neither did we. Wonder what they talked about — if they ever did.
There was a handful of artists and we had a really big comics page for a college paper because it's the second biggest college in the country and they have a great paper. Berke Breathed came out of there. He graduated from UT, and everyone wanted to be the next Berke Breathed. I wanted to be like Berkeley because his comic Bloom County was still running in our local paper, but syndicated. They would run it because he was a former student there. So that was our inspiration, but what a lot of people don't know, the first four or five books that Chris put out, those were all the things that he'd done in college. That was his college work and it was so great. He would come in with these huge boards and he made all of us better artists because we had to be on the same page and he was just head and shoulders above all of us. Right around the time my art was getting a little better actually, I did [the movie "El] Mariachi" and got into moviemaking. His stuff was amazing. When I saw his first few books, it was like, "Yeah. That's good." He was already doing world-class work in college.
Secret Robert Rodriguez/Chris Ware connection!
Ware drew a comic strip at the Daily Texan (the student newspaper at the University of Texas in Austin) when I was at school there in the mid-to-late 1980s. One strip he did was called "Floyd Farland, Citizen of the Future" that was picked up and reprinted by Eclipse. Given the prices that book goes for now, I should have saved the original strips.
i should've told you that a long time ago back when we met for the first time. robert's cousin alvaro was the "composer" on el mariachi and my comics editor for my college paper. he'd bring back daily texan pages for me when he'd go up to austin to visit robert on weekends. a lot of the cartoonists that shared space with ware and rodriguez on those daily texan pages went on to do amazing things in comics and animation… walt holcombe, lance myers (animator), shannon wheeler, tom king (worked on futurama and spongebob), jeanette moreno, john keen (mtv animation). those guys were my heroes and a HUGE influence on me as i continued to cartoon through college and beyond.
[…] Secret Robert Rodriguez/Chris Ware connection! […]
[…] Another late add: The Beat has a couple of neat finds. Heidi offers up a Tate Modern article that has generous comic pictures and historical info, and spies a Robert Rodriguez and Chris Ware connection (check out the comments section for a Chris Ware easter egg). […]

New Hope was organized in 1938 by a group of people that saw a need to reach people for Christ. From their prayer meeting a mission was formed.
It is the desire of New Hope to continue to reach our community here in East Charlotte for the Lord.
Each week we come together to study God's Word and to seek the direction that He would have us to follow. According to His command, we are to "Go therefore and make disciples of all the nations, baptizing them in the name of the Father and the Son and the Holy Spirit, teaching them to observe all that I have commanded you: and , lo, I am with you always, even to the end of the age." Matthew 28:19-20
It would be our greatest joy if you would join us for Bible Study, Worship and Fellowship.
The New Hope Vision…
"To develop a Biblically based body of believers: A caring, loving Christian community that exalts the Lord, edifies the Saints and evangelizes the lost."

UED Locks Up Whole Computer...
Ok I've been mapping for some time now and have never had serious problems with UED. But recently I just formatted my Hard Drive. And reinstalled UT and UED. I noticed I don't have Unreal.exe anymore but I think I had it last time because I installed UT with an older disk. I have all the bonus packs and everything. Now when I load UED and map a little every once in a while it locks up when I'm in 3d view and moving the camera backwards.
Also I switch video cards but I updated all the drivers and everything and it's my original card cause the new one didn't seem to load UT fast enough and wasn't using its on board memory. But UED used to work fine with this card. Anyone know how to help? |

Patients at Randhawa Dental Corporation open wide to place their dental health in the capable hands of highly skilled dentists and their staff. Studying dentistry in India, Australia, and the United States has equipped Gurjit S. Randhawa, D.D.S., M.D.S., with skills that earned him the title of Best Cosmetic Dentist in KRON4's Best of the Bay 2009, 2010 and 2011 awards, making it the third year in a row that he has won. He is also an Elite Preferred Provider of Invisalign, who enjoys a "Top 1% in North America" ranking because of his extensive experience with the Invisalign system. Dr. Randhawa leads a team of dentists and specialists to coddle teeth for their patients.
Board-certified facial plastic surgeon Dr. Umang Mehta may specialize in rhinoplasty and other facial and eye surgeries, but his practice?s treatment list extends far beyond these services. He and his staff, including a licensed aesthetician, also deliver wrinkle fillers, laser cosmetics, and peels. After visits, complexions leave youthful and glowing like a phosphorescent corsage on prom night, and testimonials reveal that clients appreciate the team?s friendliness as much as they value their aesthetic expertise.
Realizing the challenges of balancing family, career, and health, Brien Shamp decided to help mothers reduce stress and boost self-confidence via exercise. Pulling from his years of industry experience and fitness certifications, Brien spearheaded the boot-camp fitness program that has been lauded on Best of the Bay. He works with trainers at multiple gyms to lead women and other fitness-seekers through creative, constantly varied workouts. In addition to classes, Brien provides his clients with comprehensive nutritional advice while warning them of common diet mistakes, such as eating snacks with too much sugar or the realistic-looking plastic scones in their child's tea set.
At Medical Aesthetics of Menlo Park, expert technicians use a slew of technological treatments to beautify their guests. The center's centerpiece?an Alma Soprano Ice laser?quickly and comfortably shuts down hair follicles on a wide range of skin types. They also employ the ClearLift laser to resurface skin for a smooth, youthful glow, and inject Botox or Juvederm to combat signs of aging. Their services extend to the full body with treatments including radiofrequency skin-tightening and cellulite reduction to oust the fat that stubbornly refuses to respond to exercise, dieting, or earnest, hand-written notes.
Dr. Edward Rubinstein and the staff of West Coast Foot Laser understand the embarrassment and discomfort caused by nails infected with onychomycosis. Besides limiting the desire to wear open-toe galoshes, the nail fungus can cause painful health issues if left untreated. The center combats these infections with powerful beams, which typically require a single session to eliminate the problem at the source and allow healthy nails to gradually appear.
University Mission Medical Clinic is founded on the concept of providing highest quality patient care and well-being. Our reputation has been built upon trust, ...Integrity, honesty and it is paramount to the relationships we build with our patients. Providing superior service to our clients is dominant in everything.

What a nice view to wake up to, rc! |
- Posted by murraysmom (My Page) on Sat, Feb 20, 10 at 10:14
Beautiful sunrise, rc!! I woke up to clouds again this morning. However, I just noticed this mound of snow that seems to be trying to sneak away!! I can't understand how it hangs there without breaking and falling. This is a glass topped table and it must have warmed up enough for the snow to start it's getaway. I'm going to try to pay attention to see how long it can hang there without breaking off. |
Very neat photos. Sunrises and sunsets are some of my favorites scenes of which to take a photo. The 'slipping' snow reminded me of a photo I saw of snow sliding off of a roof and touching the ground of a single story shed. It had formed a tunnel effect. Jane |

found a new home!
Plenty of my friends are looking
for one too. Find a pet to adopt.
Find a pet to adopt |
My name is Sidney!
Facts about Sidney
- Breed: Shih Tzu
- Color: White - With Black
- Age: Young
- Size: Small 25 lbs (11 kg) or less
- Sex: Male
Sidney's Info...
I am already neutered, purebred, up to date with shots, good with kids, and good with dogs.
his is Sidney. He is 1 year old and the most easy going dog ever, who loves to cuddle. He has all of his shots and no issues other than occasional pee in the house if you don't keep an eye on him. He is a great dog who just needs someone that will love and respect him. He previously lived outside chained inside a dog house. This poor guy lived in the elements all winter long, but now in a foster home who says he is the best guy ever. If interested, please contact firstname.lastname@example.com
Other Pets at For Pete's Sake Rescue
Why Adoption is a Great Option
Sidney, a Sherman Shih Tzu dog was adopted! Here's how you can benefit by looking at adoption as an option to buying a Shih Tzu for sale in Sherman, or seeking a Shih Tzu dog from a breeder in Sherman.
- Rescues and shelter volunteers in Sherman already know the personality and tendencies of their pets. This means they can match you with the right pet. That will makes it much easier transition to owning a pet for yourself and your new pet.
- On average adoption fees are much less than you'd pay a Sherman breeder, or pet store. Plus most often rescue pets have already been to the veterinarian for a check-up, had a round of vaccinations, and are spayed or neutered. That is a lot of savings!
- You will become a hero, and give a needy dog or cat a loving home. In fact, there are even Shih Tzu breeders who help with Shih Tzu rescue. One puppy or kitten adopted in Sherman paves the way for another one to be saved.

Request a Travel Advance
Travel advances may be issued to University faculty and staff to aid with the purchase of travel related expenses. Travel Advances must be requested through Chrome River as an Expense Report. Travel Advances are no longer associated with Pre-Approvals and are not required to be attached to the Expense Report containing the advance request.
Travel Advance Procedures
- The travel advance must be settled within 30 days from the last date of travel.
- If the advance remains unsettled 45 days from the last date of travel, paperwork will be sent to Payroll to recover the full amount of the advance through payroll deduction and the department will be charged a $50 administrative late fee . Additional travel advances will not be issued to any individual who is delinquent in settling a travel advance.
- Travel advances are not issued to employees who have a sufficient line of credit on the corporate travel card or whose corporate travel card has been cancelled by the corporate card program administrator due to delinquent payments, personal use or failure to respond to audit and compliance requests. Advances are not issued for air or rail fares, since those expenses may be paid directly to the approved travel agencies or paid through the corporate card programs.
- Advances are not issued if expenses are estimated to be less than $100. Advances will only be issued in whole dollar amounts.
- In situations where an advance remains unsettled because the traveler is no longer associated with the University, or the traveler is affiliated with the University but is not on the University payroll system, the department that approved the advance becomes responsible for repayment.
Step by Step
Process the Travel Advance in Chrome River
Log into Chrome River and go to the Expense Tab. Select Request a New Expense Report. Choose Travel Advance from the expense bar. The "Pay Date" is the date that VCU Treasury will send your deposit to your bank. Please allow up to 3 business days for your bank to make the funds available. The "Pay Date" must be no more than 10 days prior to the Start Date of travel. Please also fill in the trip start and end dates. There is no need to choose an index code since the funds come from the Travel Advance clearing account.
Track the Travel Advance in Chrome River
The travel advance will reside in your "Submitted Expenses" queue on the Expense tab. Once the travel advance has been approved, it will be sent to Banner with the status "Exported." Once the travel advance has been paid, the status will change to "Paid," and it will appear in red on your Chrome River Dashboard as a "Cash Advance" bank.
Reconcile your expenses after your trip
Complete an expense report as normal. Choose the index codes approved to source the expenses. These accounts will be debited, while the Travel Advance clearing account is credited. If completed, attach the Pre-approval with this Expense Report when time to submit. Any Expense Reports submitted for reimbursement will be deducted from your Cash Advance bank regardless of the trip. Please ensure that the cash advance is settled within 45 days from the End Date of the trip indicated on the Travel Advance request.
Reconcile your Cash Advance bank within 45 days
If you have an outstanding Cash Advance balance in Chrome River, and you will not submit any new Expense Reports to meet the 45 day deadline to settle the advance, a check made payable to VCU for the difference must be mailed or dropped off at Procurement Services. A copy of the Chrome River PDF Report associated with the Travel Advance should accompany the check.

The first tablets were rolled out to students at Theodore Roosevelt High School, Westchester High and the Valley Academy of Arts and Sciences, but the $1 billion program has since been stopped after more than 300 students found out how to remove security restrictions inside the first week.
As The Los Angeles Times reports, students discovered that, by deleting their personal profile information, they could remove restrictions on their iPads in order to install their favorite apps, browse all websites, socialize on Facebook and Twitter and even stream songs via Pandora.
In a leaked memo obtained by the newspaper, School District Police Chief Steven Zipperman said that he made the decision to prevent a "runaway train scenario".
"I'm guessing this is just a sample of what will likely occur on other campuses once this hits Twitter, YouTube or other social media sites explaining to our students how to breach or compromise the security of these devices," wrote Zipperman.
"I want to prevent a `runaway train' scenario when we may have the ability to put a hold on the rollout."
The district is now apparently considering how to move forward securely with the project, but has for the mean time banned students from using the iPads at home.

I'm trying to find out when my apples should be harvested, and hope someone knows what variety they might be. I put the photos and information in the thread where I asked about harvesting, so wonder if anyone will check there and give me ideas. |
Here is a link that might be useful: when to harvest apples thread
Follow-Up Postings:
I guessed "Prairie Spy" because of the similarity in names, but I doubt it, after looking at pictures. How about Jonagold? You could do much worse! |
I agree with marknmt. It does look very much like my Jonagolds but this photo is of a much smaller apple. I would side with a small Jonagold. Mrs. G |
- Posted by party_music50 z5a NY (My Page) on Mon, Oct 28, 13 at 9:04
Thank you both so much! I looked up Jonagold and I would agree with nearly everything that was said about them. The minor exception would be that my apples may be a little more red and less green than was often described for Jonagold. I assume that the somewhat smaller apple size is due to less than ideal growing conditions. The tree was planted around 10 years ago in very sandy and acidic soil -- it probably even gets some road-salt in the winter due to the snowbanks! It was supposed to be an ornamental flowering crab, after all. :p So I guess I'm out to harvest everything from the tree today then. No frost here yet, but they're predicting anything from 23-30F for a low tonight. I assume they should be harvested from the tree before the frost/freeze can damage them. Thanks again! |
OOps. If there isn't another pollinator (another apple tree that blooms at the same time) its not Jonagold. Jonagold is a triploid. (sterile). Mrs. G |
- Posted by party_music50 z5a NY (My Page) on Mon, Oct 28, 13 at 10:10
MrsG47, how close would a pollinator need to be? there may be crabapple trees within 100yds, but I'm not sure if there are other apple trees as close by. Could be... just don't know. This is the 3rd year the tree fruited. The first two years it had something like 6 apples, then 12 apples -- the squirrels got most of whatever was there. Then last year NOTHING fruited here due to unusually warm weather early, followed by a week of hard freeze. I didn't even get a single lilac bloom last year. Everyone here has a huge crop of apples this year! Based on the first two years of fruit, I thought this was an early apple variety. In 2010 I planted a Lodi (I think) near this tree as a pollinator, thinking as an early apple it would help... I don't think that flowered this year though. At least I didn't see flowers on it. I believe this year's fruit is unusually late for the tree due to our extremely rainy cold start to the summer. Hence, this fruiting time may be misleading you in determining the variety. |
- Posted by party_music50 z5a NY (My Page) on Mon, Oct 28, 13 at 10:44
I assume that I should pick these apples before the frost/freeze tonight, but some just don't seem to want to let go! Should I just leave those on the tree? |
I had to tug to get my Enterprise apples off of the tree. I realized they probably were not going to get any better hanging on! I don't really know the distance for pollenation. I have read that the distance was about 20 yards. Maybe some of the experts will chime in on this. By the way, where is Scott, Fruitnut, Noogy and Tony? |
100 yards is plenty close. Crabapples make fine pollinators for apples. |
This post was edited by ltilton on Mon, Oct 28, 13 at 16:19
My own experience, which is bolstered by comments here, is that apples will manage temps down into the middle twenties, F, without difficulty. (How that might affect long term storage characteristics is another question that might enter into it.) I'm eating Liberty, Yellow Delicious and Carousel off the tree right now after a low of 24 F and my one Winesap was underripe but still edible at that point a couple of days ago. But we're dropping into the middle teens tonight, they say, and I've got everything off the tree and hoping that it will be OK in the unheated garage. We'll see. Good luck! M |

Ender ReedSenior Policy Advisor
The Senate Finance Subcommittee on Fiscal Matters, chaired by Senator Glenn Hegar (R-Katy), will be hearing testimony on two restrictive revenue cap bills -- SB 102 and SB 144 -- at 9 a.m. Monday, March 25, in Room E1.036 of the Capitol Extension. These bills diminish local control by setting strict standards that take the decision-making process out of the hands of locally-elected commissioners courts regarding tax rates.
SB 102 by Senator Patrick (R-Houston) seeks to lower the revenue cap (rollback rate) from the current 8 percent level to a 5 percent level. Under SB 102, any tax rate that the governing body seeks to adopt that would exceed the 5 percent rollback rate would trigger an expensive automatic rollback election. Current law requires a petition process to call for an election to rollback a tax rate that exceeds the revenue cap.
SB 144 by Senator Williams (R-The Woodlands) seeks to reduce the current 8 percent rollback rate on counties to 5 percent, except under a very limited set of circumstances in which the local governing body would have to go through a series of procedures to raise the rollback rate to 8 percent. The limited circumstances that would allow a higher than 5 percent rollback rate include instances when the county is located in an area declared a disaster by the governor or president, or if the commissioners court finds the higher rate necessary for the protection of public safety.
For more information, review this legislative brief, which explains the impact of revenue caps on local control, and this accompanying document, which details the top 10 reasons why revenue caps are a bad idea.
If you are concerned about these revenue cap bills, please consider coming to Austin on Monday to testify or sign in opposing the legislation. If you are not in Austin, you may contact the members of the Senate Finance Subcommittee on Fiscal Matters. Contact information is listed below:

Chronicle (Fox)
— $64.6 million
Fox's $12 million teen super-power thriller is exactly the type of movie that many movie-buffs love to complain never gets made anymore. Where are all the sensibly budgeted movie ideas?! Every. Single. Movie released these days is a dumbed-down action tentpole! As much as the Internet whines, a film like Chronicle (or The Woman in Black, The Grey, Project X, The Lucky One, Contraband, Think Like A Man, The Vow, Magic Mike, or 21 Jump Street — all of which were made for $30 million or less) is always a refreshing reminder that these films still exist. Chronicle's tracking was distressingly low in the weeks leading to its release, but Fox effectively captured a young Twitter-friendly demographic with a smart (and cheap!) viral advertisement about people flying in New York City. When it debuted in February, the lo-fi story scored $22 million and garnered good word-of-mouth (it's a totally fresh twist on the superhero genre), which led it to a sturdy $64.6 million.
Ted (Universal)
— $63.1 million
21 Jump Street wasn't the only breakout R-rated comedy in 2012. Ted, which opened last weekend with $54.4 million, scored the best debut ever for an original R-rated comedy. (The Hangover Part II and Sex and the City opened higher, with $85.9 million and $57.0 million, respectively.) The $50 million Mark Wahlberg/Mila Kunis feature, which was directed by Family Guy creator Seth MacFarlane, led the box office to a June record without the use of 3-D, IMAX, or any explosions. And with an "A-" CinemaScore grade, it's headed for a finish in the $150-200 million range. It will likely be Universal biggest hit in 2012 (sorry, Battleship).
The Devil Inside (Paramount)
— $53.3 million
How can a truly awful horror movie, which received an "F" CinemaScore, plummeted 76 percent in its second weekend, and dropped from number one to number 25 in three weeks, be on this list? Because it cost $1 million to make and earned $33.7 million in its debut weekend — that's how. The Devil Inside hit theaters at the perfect moment in the post-Paranormal Activity "found footage" zeitgeist (both are Paramount films), and though it didn't possess the top spot for long, its breakout debut on Jan. 6 kicked off 2012 with a bang. On the downside, it also spawned the inevitable 400 found-footage horror movies that will be released over the next two years until they go the way of torture-porn.
Magic Mike (Warner Brothers)
— $44.1 million
Magic Mike, which was financed for just $7 million by Steven Soderbergh, proved to be truly magical at the box office, scoring a sizzling $39.1 million in its debut weekend. The male stripper film brought in legions of women — the same crowds that turned out in droves for Sex and the City and The Vow, yet for some reason are still not recognized as primary Hollywood targets. Sure, a more appropriate title for the film might have been Magic Mismarketing (the film is much darker than the glitzy trailers would lead you to believe), but Warner Bros. was savvy — waiting until just a month before its release to roll out trailers and whore their stars out on TV, leading to a massive groundswell of excitement. It could become Channing Tatum's third $100 million hit in six months.
The Best Exotic Marigold Hotel (Fox Search.) — $40.6 million
The British comedy, which stars Judi Dench, Tom Wilkinson, and Maggie Smith, has quietly turned into this year's Midnight in Paris — a lighthearted trifle with European sensibilities that lit up the box office. Fox Searchlight has a knack for effectively platforming limited releases so as to give them maximum box-office potential, and despite never playing in more than 1,298 theaters or climbing higher than sixth place on the chart, Marigold has humbly trotted away with $40.6 million in the U.S. over the past nine weeks — and $122.6 million worldwide. Not bad for a travelogue starring accented octogenarians!
The Secret World of Arrietty (Disney) — $19.2 million
You've got to give Disney credit for remaining totally committed to bringing Japanese filmmaker Hayao Miyazaki's animated films to the U.S. despite the fact that they always post modest numbers. In 2002, Spirited Away earned only $10 million. In 2005, Howl's Moving Castle earned $4.7 million. In 2009, Ponyo climbed to $15.1 million. But Arrietty, which was only produced by Miyazaki (though it shares his style), suggested that Disney's strategy is paying off. The film climbed past $19 million during its run — and sure, that's less than Brave made on its opening day — but foreign movies are tough sells in America, and Arrietty's modest success reveals an encouraging trend of box-office globalization. Internationally, the film earned $126.4 million — $100 million of which came from Japan alone.
Moonrise Kingdom (Focus)
— $18.5 million
Wes Anderson's latest quirky effort is only a few days away from passing Fantastic Mr. Fox ($21 million) and The Life Aquatic with Steve Zissou ($24 million) to become his second-highest grossing film behind The Royal Tenenbaums ($52.4 million). Prospects were immediately encouraging for Focus Features when the $12 million film found an amazing $523,000 from just four theaters in its debut weekend. In the ensuing five weekends, Focus has gradually expanded Moonrise, allowing its weekend grosses to rise without squashing its per theater averages. (Not many movies can boast a $5,769 venue average on their sixth weekend in release.) The sleeper hit may not even be halfway to its final gross — keep an eye on it over the rest of the summer.
October Baby (Samuel Goldwyn) — $5.4 million
The conservatively-valued pro-life drama earned a meager $199,000 during a three-week run from 13 theaters in 2011, but distributor Samuel Goldwyn, who propelled Kirk Cameron's Christian marriage drama Fireproof to $33.5 million in 2008, picked up the tiny film for a slightly wider release. The film surprised analysts with an eighth-place finish in its debut weekend, after earning $1.7 million from 390 theaters. I won't argue that the $5.2 million it's made in 2012 is an especially amazing figure — but what makes October Baby's run so impressive is that it reached that level with minimal media attention and no buzz in New York or L.A., where many indies thrive. The heartland hit played in just one theater in New York City.
*Wondering why some of the top grossing movies of the year aren't included? Well, like I said, cuts had to be made. Sure, Madagascar 3: Europe's Most Wanted is well on its way to becoming the franchise's top earner, but it also carried a $145 million budget and benefited from elevated 3-D ticket prices. Yes, Men In Black 3 has found $170 million domestically, but that looks a lot less impressive against a $230 million budget. Indeed, The Woman in Black was a profitable little venture with $54.3 million, but was its performance actually more impressive than Chronicle's? I don't know — but then, this is all rather subjective. (Unless you're trying to argue that Dark Shadows, Battleship, John Carter, Ghost Rider: Spirit of Vengeance, What to Expect When You're Expecting, or A Thousand Words were successful. Then you're just wrong.) That's why I'm letting you sound off in the poll and comments below:

From swinging '60s dramas (''Pan Am,'' ''The Playboy Club'') to Simon Cowell's return (''The X Factor'') to sitcoms about buddies (''2 Broke Girls'') and babies ('Up All Night,'' here's our scouting report on top TV prospects
Monday, 8-8:30 p.m., CBS
The warlock has left the building. With the spectacular, bridge-burning, jumping-down-
emergency-slide exit of Charlie Sheen from Two and a Half Men, the show's raunchy, hedonistic playboy is gone and with him, the show's primary source of bawdy jokes. Now a younger, hipper, prettier model is here. But can he be funnier, too? Five years after That '70s Show, Ashton Kutcher returns to sitcom TV as Walden Schmidt, a brokenhearted Internet billionaire who has no game with the ladies. Schmidt presumably takes over the now-deceased Charlie Harper's Malibu pad, thrusting Alan (Jon Cryer) into the unfamiliar role of giving love lessons. ''I'm a terrible mentor,'' Cryer says, ''and that's where a lot of the fun of the show comes from.'' Sept. 19

The Flaming Lips Announce Details of Record Store Day Collaboration-Heavy Album The Flaming Lips and Heady Fwends
The Flaming Lips have finally revealed the details of their collaboration album set for a Record Store Day release. "The Flaming Lips and Heady Fwends" features Ke$ha, Bon Iver, Jim James of My Morning Jacket, Neon Indian, Chris Martin of Coldplay, Yoko Ono and many more.
Throughout 2011 we have seen The Flaming Lips at their weirdest. They released an EP inside of a gummy-fetus, a 24 hour song inside of a human skull, played Dark Side Of The Moon in its entirety, freaked out with Yoko Ono on New Years, played a small house show on Halloween and have collaborated with seemingly everyone. We have reports of The Lips working with Death Cab For Cutie, Black Moth Super Rainbow, Lightning Bolt, Neon Indian, Ke$ha, and Bon Iver and Erykah Badu. After what seems like years The Flaming Lips have announced the official track listing for their collaborative album.
The album titled "The Flaming Lips and Heady Fwends" will be a limited release exclusively on Record Store Day. It has been pressed on high quality multi colored vinyl discs. No two discs will look exactly alike. Once these have sold out it will not be rereleased. It is safe to say this is the most anticipated release for Record Store Day.
The Flaming Lips and Heady Fwends Track List:
Side One:
1. 2012 (feat. Ke$sha and Biz Markie)
2. Ashes In The Air (feat. Bon Iver)
3. Helping The Retarded To Know God (feat. Edward Sharpe and the Magnetic Zeros)
Side Two:
4. Supermoon Made Me Want To Pee (feat. Prefuse 73)
5. Children Of The Moon (feat. Tame Impala)
6. That Ain't My Trip (feat. Jim James of My Morning Jacket)
7. You, Man? Human? (feat. Nick Cave)
Side Three:
8. I'm Working At NASA On Acid (feat. Lightning Bolt)
9. Do It! (feat. Yoko Ono)
10. Is David Bowie Dying? (feat. Neon Indian)
Side Four:
11. The First Time I Ever Saw Your Face (feat. Erykah Badu)
12. Thunder Drops (feat. New Fumes)
13. I Don't Want To Die (feat. Chris Martin of Coldplay)
Record Store Day is Saturday April 21st. Be ready or you may miss out.

You don't need NASA... (64 comments)
Having participated in FIRST myself during my high school years, our team was lead by a local University, 2 engineers from a locally based (but still large enough to be middling on the Fortune 500 list...) company, and in my first year, we won the championship in the early 2000s, and have since then won a few more times after I left.
It's an amazingly fun experience, and besides, as a HS student, this should be more of a learning experience for you. It's great to see the whole engineering process, from problem definition to solution implementation... including some of the work-place drama that goes on >_>
Re:That will last about five minutes (90 comments)
Going to have to call bullshit on that. Potatoes arrived in Europe from the "New World", then planted in the US from plants brought over from Europe. Irish potato famine destroyed one breed, but not others. If they were genetically identical, no species would've been safe, but that's obviously not the case.
Re:Let the public education (488 comments)
Other than your sarcasm not entirely helping your argument, I don't really disagree with you on most of your points, except maybe this one:
Here's a hint: to do your job. If you believed that placement in a special education classroom was necessary, then your job was to demonstrate that that placement is necessary, not to railroad the parents. If the placement was necessary, it could surely survive some scrutiny from "a lawyer" during an assessment or IEP meeting. Rumor has it that school districts and Departments of Education even employ their own laywers versed in IDEA.
How would you go about demonstrating that the placement was necessary? And do you really believe that just because you've provided evidence of such necessity, the parent's won't threaten to sue regardless, wasting massive amounts of money? From what I can gather in Loughla's post, he/she teaches in a small community, and so their school department may not have the funds to mount a proper legal defense, especially seeing how the autistic student's parents were willing to spend the money to hire a lawyer from quite far away. The whole point of these legal threats may just be to say "i can waste a lot of your money", as to dissuade any real action, even if the reason was legitimate... because let's face it, frivolous law suites are not at all rare in this country.
Yes, because the Nobel prize is only for... (178 comments)

Re:Who did the work? (193 comments)
Quoting from the winning project's abstract:
"Optimal layering was determined using a scanning electron microscope."
Ok what? How does a high school student get access to one of those? I highly doubt most HS in this country has one of those for their students to use...
Re:Makes no sense (580 comments)
While i'm from MA, and I'm quite happy that my state is tied for first... but... 44%????? Only 44% of the kids tested passed the test, and it somehow tie for FIRST among the nation? If this was a test, then all 50 people (state) in the class (country) have failed. This is not good news
Re:First Post Metaphor (But this isn't First Post) (105 comments)
Well, i don't think just building a repository will be too hard. The AI doesn't have to understand it, it just has to be there stored somewhere. Maybe you can get something like reCaptcha for the analysis part?
Re:First Post Metaphor (But this isn't First Post) (105 comments)
so is that meta-first?
Re:On the flip side (463 comments)
There was this brief clip i caught on TV years ago that made this exact point. It was something about steroids, and one of the guys that was promoting its use said "Don't worry, the stuff's all natural", to which another guy replied "So what? Heroin is all natural!"

Did the US do similar studies? It seems like it would have been a pretty good idea to study those effects during the cold war.
Re:Warranty? (529 comments)
Equivalent in terms of light output, not current tolerance. if you used a product outside of its design specs, and complained when it failed, no one would listen to you.
But then again, I guess the American legal system has seen sillier things...
Re:Warranty? (529 comments)
Well... if you've got some fixtures that seems to burn through light bulbs faster than normal, then maybe it's not the light bulb's fault? And if that is any indication of an average household's (electrical) current stability, maybe the lack of a 5 year warranty is somewhat justified. Seriously, you can't fault the manufacturer of the product if you're providing bad running conditions.
Re:The way the market has gone (734 comments)
Yeah this is really true. I was just thinking about when was the last time I actually watched a DVD movie on my computer... and realized... i don't remember. Netflix/youtube/torrented stuff has basically replaced DVDs for all intents and purposes. While initially this move by MS sounded a little annoying, it's actually pretty reasonable.

Jul 8th 2009 12:35AM "The use text is a little odd in that it notes the "tome is consumed when read." To me that means that the book is only a one use thing and really has no reason to be Bind on Account."
Actually it's very similar to the old days when the mounts weren't BoP and were the higher priced of the two (the training being the other) and your 60 (at the time) could buy them up and send them out to the alts, who then just had to pay the 10g for the training.
This way, your 80 can buy the book (since it's in Dalaran from the same vendor who sells the Armored Brown Bear) and send it off to the 68 alt who's just arrived in Howling Fjord or Borean Tundra and can't get to Dalaran without a mage or warlock to portal/summon them.
Ten things I hate about Wrath Beta {WoW}

Ten things I hate about Wrath Beta {WoW}
Aug 20th 2008 9:57AM Interesting article...I almost hoped it was a sarcastic title until I read the "Top 10". After getting my invite I moved a couple of 70s over (after a 4 day wait like most folks who got their invite over the 8/10/08 beta wave). In the 4 days I took me to get them copied over, I created a Death Knight. She's currently sitting at 72 finishing up the last of the quest lines in Borean Tundra and Howling Fjord (I brought her up at 68 AFTER the XP change). I have a few problems with your hate list:
1. Think about the TWO servers that currently house BETA players. That's ONE PvP and ONE PvE server for all the beta testers running around trying to break the game (which most will agree is the premise for beta testing). We still get the "World Server Is Down", which you will agree isn't a "beta-only" issue.
2. None of my family, friends or guild mates got in either. So...do I flaunt that when I go back to live? Nope, I let them know about what's up, any changes, etc. I also blog about it on our guild website.
3. I guess changing schools must've been tough for you then as well... I found a pretty good group of folks to run with in a guild that has carried itself over from Alpha, and they are from all different servers, and all sorts of play experience.
4. I remember launch day (ok... MIDNIGHT) for Burning Crusade. First thing everyone did is make a Blood Elf Paladin or a Draenei Shaman. You expected less from a Death Knight.
5. Oh, speaking of DKs, since they are ENTIRELY new, I think having tons of evil, death dealing mushrooms is good for feedback for the developers. Bloodworm healing, Blood Aura refunding talent points every time you zone/hearth/etc. These things are needed for Blizzard to get the kinks out. Oh, and those DKs looking for a healer for Ramparts? Please, at 58 you can 4 man Ramparts AND Blood Furnace if they are all specced Blood...which by the way only costs 1c each time.
6. Finally, if you hate it so much, think about all those who DIDN'T get in the beta and use sites like this to glean every possible bit of info so they can know what to expect (more or less) when Wrath finally goes live.
I respect this site greatly and the quality of articles are generally very high. To be perfectly honest, your article belongs more on the live "General Forums" on the World of Warcraft site than it does here.

Softball: Crown Point takes second straight Twin Lakes title
By Steve T. Gorches 314-3797 or firstname.lastname@example.com May 4, 2013 11:36PM
Crown Point batter Miranda Elish hits RBI double at the Twin Lake Softball tournament. | File photo
Article Extras
Updated: June 6, 2013 7:23AM
MONTICELLO — There's just something about the Twin Lakes Softball Invitational that fits Crown Point like a glove.
The Bulldogs have only competed in the 16-team tournament — the largest in the state — four times. And after a 3-1 victory over Twin Lakes in Saturday's championship, they have now won back-to-back titles and three in four years.
And Crown Point (14-3) showed its versatility by winning in multiple ways in a 24-hour span. The Dogs came from behind late on Friday night against Andrean (4-3), blasted the ball all over the place in blowout wins over Lewis Cass on Saturday morning (10-0) and Pioneer in the semifinal (15-1), and played solid defense behind stellar pitching in a 4-0 win over Lafayette Jeff to advance out of pool play, and in the championship.
"We got done what needed to be done," said CP coach Ginger Britton with a more relaxed smile amid the celebration on the field this year. Last year's Twin Lakes victory came weeks after she took over as coach following Brett Crutchfield's removal as head coach.
After scoring eight runs in an inning in the semifinal — it included back-to-back home runs by Mandey Shrader and Rachael Honaker — the Dogs scored all three of their runs against Twin Lakes (11-6) without the benefit of a hit in the second inning to erase an early 1-0 deficit.
In fact, not one ball got out of the infield. Ally Rock walked with one out. She moved to second when Siena Gyure laid down a sacrifice bunt, but there was an error on the third baseman. Amanda Rock reached on an error on the shortstop, scoring her twin sister. Morgan Matalin, who was pinch running for Gyure, scored on a passed ball, and then Amanda Rock scored on a wild pitch.
"The girls did a nice job taking extra bases, taking advantage of mistakes and playing some small ball," Britton said.
After that, it was all Miranda Elish, who retired the last 19 batters — seven of them were strikeouts. The host Indians hit her hard in the first inning with a pair of scalded singles sandwiched around a sacrifice bunt. But Elish changed things up a little after a short talk with Britton.
"I made sure I hit my corners better," Elish said. "I was throwing pretty hard today."
Her coach was quite impressed with the freshman's energy level during the long day.
"She's really came into her own," Britton said. "She did a great job today considering the amount of innings she logged. She came into her groove."
And her teammates fed off that groove and her energy.
"She definitely is all that," catcher Ally Rock said. "We play with a lot of confidence when she's (in the circle) — she plays with a lot of confidence, too."

I just listened to the show and was "awestruck" listening to Mr. Gurr. I can see why Walt had him as part of Disney! His stories were amazing to hear! I especially got a big chuckle out of when he was telling the story about driving the fire engine to Disneyland from the studios. I have retired from the fire service after thirty plus years of service, and Disney's fire stations and fire engines have a special place in my heart!
You did a wonderful job interviewing Mr. Gurr. I could definitely sense it was one of the highlight's of your career. Your enthusiasm, passion, and admiration for Disney was shining that day as it ALWAYS shines on ALL your projects. Your behavior and attitude is one of the reasons I like listening to the podcast.
Keep up the good work. And remember to not only keep moving forward but to keep inspiring others as well my friend!

INE Ultra
10G (40 Gbps aggregate capacity) Multi-Path Network Simulation
iTrinegy Network Emulator-Ultra (INE Ultra ) is our award-winning Next Generation network emulator that replicates high speed, high volume networks for large scale testing. INE Ultra is supplied on a rack-mount chassis.
INE Ultra can handle upwards of 1.4 million packets per second and in excess of 100,000 individual streams or unique end points (e.g. users or network devices) per emulation, with performance of up to 10 gigabits per second. This makes it ideal for the testing of converged networks carrying data, VoIP and Video streams.
New Network Creation GUI
INE Ultra has a new simple, yet sophisticated drag-and-drop multi-platform GUI, where users can configure and control the emulator through a rich pallet of objects such as buildings, people, computers, routers etc which will build the scenario needed with the added ability to connect these objects by lines representing the network paths.
The short video below shows how easy it is to replicate the required network (there is no sound associated with this video):
INE Ultra's new rule system can automatically control network conditions for multiple and/or individual IP streams, TCP/UDP ports or network interfaces, without laborious manual setup. This new approach eliminates the need to manually create specific rules for each stream, typically encountered with other network emulator products and which does not lend itself to large scale testing.
INE Ultra Features include:
- Sophisticated, but easy to use drag-and-drop GUI for quick network set-up
- Sophisticated multi-platform command line (useful for automated testing)
- Every user /device and/or application can have an individual network experience
- Sophisticated Internal Routing provides support for many different forms of QoS/MPLS networks
- Control of link speed, bandwidth, delay (latency), jitter, errors and loss by class
- Real time adjustment of network parameters during a running emulation to give a more realistic test environment
Other Network Emulator Products
iTrinegy now offers one of the most comprehensive ranges of network emulation products to help you simulate realistic network environments. Please visit our network emulator products overview page to see what other solutions are available.

couple of questions
Just a couple of questions...
Code:function pull_Files($dir){ $FileList = array(); $dh = opendir($dir); while(! is_bool($file = readdir($dh) ) ){ if( is_file( "$dir$file" )){ $FileList[] = "$file"; } } closedir($dh); return $FileList; }
2. After retrieving items from the database I can use:
while ($row = mysql_fetch_assoc($array)) {
But I need to use something like:
$row = mysql_fetch_assoc($array[$x]);
Like javascript to retrieve the id of the record before and after. Problem is the for loop doesn't work. How do I fix it?Last edited by c1lonewolf; 10-25-2012 at 09:03 PM.

- Show an example of the usage of the function pull_files. If it doesn't work with a return, but it does work with a global, this indicates to me that you are incorrectly using the function itself in assignment and handling of the variables for the caller. Scandir or glob may be easier; it won't work with just files, but if all your files have extensions than global can use *.* (although .htaccess for example would not match). You can also walk them after or use a filter.
- I won't suggest that extract is the best thing to use. Without a prefix modifier its far too easy to overwrite variables with no warning. However, short answer is you cannot. Resources cannot be treated as an array; you may use a data seek method to choose the row you want first, then execute a fetch, or dump the entire resultset into an array. If the second block of code were valid, there would be no difference in the output. They both contain single variables representing the last record in the resultset.

N.C. Cancer Hospital Patient and Family Advisory Board holds its first retreat
The first retreat of the N.C. Cancer Hospital Patient and Family Advisory Board (PFAB) was held on Saturday, September 15 at Carolina Point II.
Eighteen patient/caregiver board members and four staff members attended the day-long event. The retreat was facilitated by three team members from the Departments of Operational Efficiency and Innovation.
Marlene Rifkin, RN, Senior Vice President for Women's and Children's and Oncology Services, gave the welcome address and thanked the board members for their commitment and many hours of hard work. Ken Steenson, MSW, Women's and Children's Hospital, UNC Health Care, spoke at lunch.
From the beginning the board members came to work and learn, to collaborate and listen, to plan for the next three years and get to know one another in a non-working relationship.
The purpose of the retreat was multifaceted: the board wanted to clarify its mission statement, discuss the partnering relationships between board members and staff, see where the board will be in the coming three years, gain a better understanding of "collaborating with patients and families" and evaluate the board's performance and identify opportunities for improvement.
What has the board accomplished? They have become a model for other areas of the hospital and the PFAB is being integrated on all planes – administration, nursing, and teaching. They are recognizable and part of the mechanism of culture change. Board members currently serve on 11 cancer hospital committees and five committees from UNC Health Care.
How does the organization benefit from our work? The hospital has become more patient and family centered, the board is a vital source for feedback and there is an increase in patient satisfaction and efficiency.
What makes the organization successful and effective? The diversity and background of the board, its consensus of core values and the drive of its members to make improvements are among the reasons staff seek the board's input.
What are other organizations saying about the board's work? The board is recognized for its honesty, integrity and commitment to excellence. It is not uncommon to hear staff members ask, "Have you run it by the PFAB?"
How does the work of this team affect change? There has been an increase in patient satisfaction scores, better overall experiences for patients, continued patient and caregiver advocacy, better communication with staff and more community visibility.
Top priorities for next three years
Improve the patient and caregiver experience by:
- Increase the rounding on all areas
- Patient to patient support to link disease specific patients with a patient recovered patient
- UNC hires a full time coordinator to develop the caregiver program
- PFAB member interacts with clinic process
Increase endowment and philanthropy
Internal improvements
- N.C. Cancer Hospital PFAB becomes a national model of patient and family centered care
- Partnering with decision makers in the institution
- Reflecting the community it serves
- Developing an evaluation process to gauge progress
- Developing a training program for new board and committee members
Strategic involvement on all levels of the cancer hospital
- Work closely with existing PFAB to change from top down
- Find evidence of hospital's focus on Partnering with Patients and Families
- Collaborate with administration
- Collaborate with other boards in the hospital
- Board involvement in hiring department heads and evaluations of same

National Editor Tom Karst We here at the Karst household are tentatively in the market for a "Smart TV," the kind of television that can access the Web. During this process of searching out the lowest price, I have been Googling "40-inch smart TV" and reading customer reviews posted on various sites.
Amazon has a ton of customer reviews, like this one from Kyle in Kent, Wash.
Whoah, I really did my research on this one (I always do when I make huge investments into things that I plan on owning for a long time) and I am.... et cetera, et cetera....
We are social creatures and find comfort in hearing the opinion of other consumers, even if they are identified by the moniker "Kyle in Kent." We can take these opinions in stock, and perhaps invest those electronic verdicts with even more weight than the confident spiel from the salesman at the brick and mortar store.
These online consumer reviews have also come to our local supermarket. For example, in Google Plus, the local button invites the opportunity to search for local businesses. I type in "Aldi" and found this consumer review:
Aldi is a Grocery store from Germany. This one is clean and the staff is nice. I don't know what they take for cleaning but they should change it because the smell is a bit wired. Nevertheless I can recommend this Aldi store at 135th Street (Santa Fe) in Olathe. Be aware of that due to the custom in Germany you will not get any free bags and you have to provide a quarter in order to get a shopping cart. The time you pull back the shopping cart after you are done, the quarter gets reimbursed. This place gets a nearly full moon from me.
Then I typed in Hyvee and found this review at the ready:
I've been shopping at this location of Hy-Vee for 9 years. When I moved into Kansas, I'd never heard of Hy-Vee. This store is really excellent: clean, good selection, fresh meats, fresh produce and very helpful and happy employees. I've noticed that my grocery bill is lower when shopping at Hy-Vee and that makes me feel like I am getting good quality food for a decent price. If it's raining, snowy or my children are being crazy, I can get "drive-up" service and they will put my groceries in my car for me. I really like this store and would absolutely recommend it to others without hesitation." L

I realize this is a great cheap hairspray. My hair can get frizzy and lose its shape easily. After learning about a hair changing tip about taming all my loose hairs (from breakage) by using hairspray and combing it through your hair; I used the only hairspray I had which was this one. And my hair looked instantly better! It calmed down my hair, took out some of the fluff from blowdrying, and tamed all my little flyaways when I combed this hairspray through. My hair looked like a million bucks! The style held up well as well. You can use too much of it and it will cause your hair to look greasy.
I understand that hairspray with propellant in it is scented to cover the smell of the propellant. But dear Dove, does the scent have to be so overpowering that it lingers from sunup to bedtime? Overpowering your perfume? Blech.
This hairspray also has a dry, powdery finish and a nonexistent working time. Hate it.
1 out of 1 people found this review helpful. Did you? Yes No
Why oh why did you change a good thing Dove? I used to LOVE the old version of this in the greenish blue/white can. but the new version in the pink/white not so much. if you spray too much on your hair it turns your hair white. this might be good for a quick spray but i need more hold and dont want to walk around w/white hair. Please bring back the old formula!!!!
Yesterday, I was reminded why the Dove Flexible Hold is my favorite hair spray. Heres the story: I had a hair appointment and purchased a small travel size container of Be Sexy Volume Hair Spray. I got home and was getting ready to go to dinner, used some of my new Be Sexy Spray, and left the house. A little while later, I went to run my fingers through the side of my hair, and I couldnt. They got about 1 inch away from my scalp and would not budge! The hairspray had formed some kind of ultra-tangled net on my hair, and had frozen it into a voluminous wiry mess.
Ive used Dove Flexible Hold for the past 3 years, and have never been disappointed. It provides just enough hold but doesnt feel at all sticky or hard. My hair is coarse, thick, and wavy but I style it in every form imaginable. Dove has never let me down, and I love the fresh scent of their hair spray. I was looking for a product that would build volume, so thats why I bought the Be Sexy uh if I wanted volume like that, I would have just bought a football helmet! The Dove spray doesnt provide much volume, but it holds your style, prevents frizz, and allows your hair to look naturally pretty without feeling stiff.
This is the only hairspray that I use. I've strayed and tried others, but always come back to this one.
I have very thick, multi-texture, wavy hair that I flat iron almost every day. This hairspray goes on light, but has hold that lasts all day. When my hair was short and flippy it held without making it look crispy or dry.
I am very sensitive to scents and I don't find this one to be strong at all, it's of the reasons I keep coming back to this product. The scent also fades quickly and isn't noticeable, even by others, after a couple of minutes.
This really is the best hairspray I've tried...and I've tried a ton.
1 out of 1 people found this review helpful. Did you? Yes No
This is my favorite hairspray.
I use it daily, and it holds everything in place, but isn't too "hard", and my hair is still able to move.
I love the way it smells, and I can't imagine switching to another hairspray.
It's regularly $5.99-$7.99 depending on the store, but it goes on sale regularly, so I buy it for $1.99-$2.99. I usually buy 3 or 4 whenever I find it on sale.
The pros are that it doesn't have a ton of superfluous ingredients and has a pleasant scent.
However ... the scent is really overpowering. I'd rather use a hairspray that smells nasty for 10 seconds, then stops, than one that makes me smell soap and powder all day long.
I have thick, straight hair, and this spray does not hold curls in it very long. I have had dramatically better results with Nexxus Comb Thru, which is at least as flexible and soft if not more.
For those who like the scent, don't need holding power, and like the very reasonable price, maybe. Otherwise, there are better choices out there.
The hold is not flexible, it is more like, a medium hold. No crunchy, helmet hat hair. This is more of a finisher for a non-hairdo. For example, if I wear my hair down, I'll use this to give it somewhat hold without looking like a complete 'do. It is scented, so your hair will have the subtle smell of it.

This hairspray holds ok - but, it doesn't really provide a "flexible" hold, and it takes a long time to dry. I prefer a drier hairspray (like Biolage).
