Let It Be track listing | ||||
"I Me Mine" is a song by the Beatles, written and sung by George Harrison. I Me Mine is also the title of Harrison's autobiography. The song traces its origins to the January 1969 Get Back/Let It Be sessions, when it was rehearsed by the band at Twickenham Film Studios. It was the last new song recorded by the band before their split in 1970.
I Me Mine is the ego problem. There are two 'I's: the little 'i' when people say 'I am this'; and the big 'I' - is duality and ego. There is nothing that isn't part of the complete whole. When the little 'i' merges into the big 'I' then you are really smiling!
—George Harrison, The Beatles Anthology[3]
The set of pronouns which forms the song's title is a conventional way of referring to the ego in a Hindu context. For example, the Bhagavad Gita 2:71-72 can be translated as "They are forever free who renounce all selfish desires and break away from the ego-cage of "I", "me" and "mine" to be united with the Lord. This is the supreme state. Attain to this, and pass from death to immortality." Gould claimed that Harrison wrote the song "as a commentary on the selfishness of John and Paul" and considered it poignant that it was only properly recorded because, in the film made at Twickenham studios, it provided accompaniment to John and Yoko dancing.[4] George was particularly upset at Twickenham "that his fellow Beatles could complain about the amount of time they had to spend learning the arrangement for 'I Me Mine' and then turn around and submit to a laborious rehearsal of a song like 'Maxwell's Silver Hammer' which struck George as a paragon of pop inanity." [5] Further, if "friends like Bob Dylan and Eric Clapton heard something worthwhile in material like 'All Things Must Pass' ... what besides sheer egotism could account for the air of complete indifference with which Lennon and McCartney first greeted" both that tune and 'I Me Mine'?[6]
After receiving his "eternal problem" inspiration, Harrison played some chords to the 6/8 time signature. The song was inspired by the incidental music for a BBC television program, Europa—The Titled and the Untitled, which aired on 7 January 1969; Harrison wrote the song that night and performed the song for the other Beatles the following morning.[7]
Musical structure[edit]
The verses of this song are in the key of A minor but the chorus is in A major. This technique of parallel minor/major contrast is also present in Beatles' songs including "While My Guitar Gently Weeps", "Savoy Truffle", "The Fool on the Hill", "Fixing a Hole", "Michelle", "Things We Said Today", "Do You Want to Know a Secret" and "Norwegian Wood (This Bird Has Flown)".[8] The song begins in 6/8 time on "All through the day" with a shift from the I minor (Am) chord to a IV (D7) which Dominic Pedler of Total Guitar magazine considers emphasises the Dorian mode.[9] The progression in 3/4 time beginning with an F melody note on "Now they're frightened of leaving it" against minor iv (Dm) chord (the ♭3rd emphasising in Pedler's view the Aeolian mode) shifts to an V7 (E7) on "comin' on strong", but here (at 0.27 secs) the hauntingly strong ♭9 (F natural) melody note results in the suitably "dark drama" of the very rare (in pop music) E7♭9 chord in the key of A minor.[10] The song is also notable for concluding on an ♭VI (Fmaj7) chord in A minor key.[11]
Recording and release[edit]
The Let It Be film features a segment in which Harrison plays the song for Ringo Starr, describing it as "a heavy waltz"; the band is then seen performing the tune while John Lennon dances with Yoko Ono.
The song was released on the Let It Be album; however, the Beatles had not done a proper studio recording of the song during the January 1969 sessions. When director Michael Lindsay-Hogg chose to include the "I Me Mine" segment in the Let It Be film, the Beatles decided to record the song for inclusion on the accompanying album. Paul McCartney, Harrison and Starr met in the studio on 3 January 1970, to record the group version of the song.[12] John Lennon was not available; he was on holiday in Denmark. Lennon had privately quit the group in September 1969 so it is not known if he would have attended anyway.[12]
The group recorded 16 takes of the song, the last of which was chosen for the album. Before take 15, Harrison delivered a mock press statement in a joking reference to Lennon's absence and the British pop group Dave Dee, Dozy, Beaky, Mick & Tich: "You all will have read that Dave Dee is no longer with us. But Mickey and Tich and I would just like to carry on the good work that's always gone down in number two [EMI Studio 2]."[13] The statement followed by take 16 was included on Anthology 3. Although final rendition only lasted 1:34, Phil Spector extended the length by copying and repeating a section. Spector also overdubbed a string and brass accompaniment. The final version, as "re-produced" by Spector, was featured on the re-titled Get Back album, Let It Be. A similar edit, without Spector's overdubs but retaining the repeated section, is available on Let It Be... Naked.
Although the sessions for "I Want You (She's So Heavy)" and "The End" in August 1969 were the last where all four Beatles were present in the recording studio, "I Me Mine" was the last new song recorded by the Beatles, albeit without Lennon, until the "Free as a Bird"/"Real Love" reunion sessions in 1994. However, it was not their last recording session. The three returned the next day, 4 January 1970, to record overdubs on "Let It Be", Harrison returned on 8 January to record vocal overdubs on "For You Blue" and Starr returned on 1 April 1970, to record overdubs for "Across the Universe", "The Long and Winding Road" and an additional drum track for "I Me Mine".
The song is playable in the video game The Beatles: Rock Band. Spector's work was removed for the game's version.[14]

Ford's "Helen Keller Was Never in a Chinese Room" claims that my argument in "How Helen Keller Used Syntactic Semantics to Escape from a Chinese Room" fails because Searle and I use the terms 'syntax' and 'semantics' differently, hence are at cross purposes.

Cracking open the last closed platform: the TV. A beautiful, affordable console -- built on Android, by the creator of Jambox.
About this project
Our Kickstarter campaign is over, but you can still get an OUYA. Head over to www.ouya.tv for more info and to place an order.
We just added game streaming through OnLive! Final Fantasy will be on OUYA...and we have an exclusive game! And VEVO has agreed to put their music videos on OUYA, XBMC adds a streaming media app, with TuneIn and iHeartRadio adding music!
We're honored by all of you who are backing us -- THANK YOU. We are focused on delivering for you, first come first served. We can only promise OUYA by March to our Kickstarter backers.
Engadget! PC World! Kotaku! The Guardian! Joystiq! Forbes! GameSpot! BusinessWeek! The Verge! Wired! IGN! The New York Times! Time!
We love console games.
There's something about a big HD TV and digital surround sound that fills up a living room. Shooters, platformers, sports games, arcade classics and experimental indie games just feel bigger on a TV screen. It's how most of us grew up gaming.
But maybe people are missing out.
We get it – smartphones and tablets are getting all the new titles – they're "what's hot." The console market is pushing developers away. We've seen a brain drain: some of the best, most creative gamemakers are focused on mobile and social games because those platforms are more developer-friendly. And the ones who remain focused on console games can't be as creative as they'd like.
Deep down, you know your best gaming memories happened in the living room.
You busted your ass just to find out the princess was "in another castle." You fought bosses that told you repeatedly how much "you suck." You taped a blanket to half of your screen so your friend couldn't see where you were. You traded the best players onto your team just so you could have the perfect season. And you did it all on the TV.
It's time to upend console gaming.
Let's open this sucker up! It's time we brought back innovation, experimentation, and creativity to the big screen. Let's make the games less expensive to make, and less expensive to buy. With all our technological advancements, shouldn't costs be going down? Gaming could be cheaper!
We're handing the reins over to the developer with only one condition: at least some gameplay has to be free. We borrowed the free-to-play model from games like League of Legends, Team Fortress 2, Triple Town, and many others. Developers can offer a free demo with a full-game upgrade, in-game items or powers, or ask you to subscribe.
OUYA: The revolution will be televised
OUYA is a new game console for the TV, powered by Android.
We've packed this little box full of power. Developers will have access to OUYA's open design so they can produce their games for the living room, taking advantage of everything the TV has to offer.
Best of all, OUYA's world-class controller, console, and interface come in one beautiful, inexpensive package. All the games on it will be free, at least to try.
Great games come from great developers.
Developers can wave farewell to the roadblocks of bringing a console game to market. Anyone can make a game: every OUYA console is a dev kit. No need to purchase a license or an expensive SDK. It's built on Android, so developers already know how it works.
That doesn't mean OUYA is an Android port. You can create the next big title in your bedroom – just like the good old days! Who needs pants!?
OUYA could change AAA game development, too. Forget about licensing fees, retail fees, and publishing fees.
And developers agree:
"This has the potential to be the game developer's console. It's about time!" -- Brian Fargo (founder of inXile)
"Who wouldn't want a beautiful piece of industrial design that sells for $99, plugs straight into your TV, and gives you access to a huge library of games?" – Jordan Mechner (creator of Prince of Persia, Karateka)
"If OUYA delivers on the promise of being the first true open gaming platform that gives indie developers access to the living room gaming market, yes that is a great idea. We will follow the development of OUYA and see how it resonates with gamers. I could see all current Mojang games go on the platform if there's a demand for it." – Mojang (developer of Minecraft)
"I'm excited for OUYA! I am a firm believer that there is always room to challenge the status quo." -- Jenova Chen (thatgamecompany, creator of flOw, Cloud, and Flower)
"The prospect of an affordable, open console -- that's an idea I find really exciting." -- Adam Saltsman (Semi Secret, creator of Canabalt)
"Our games will work so well on a TV, we just need an easy way to get them there. OUYA could be it." -- Marek Rabas (Madfinger Games)
"An open game console that gives independent game developers the flexibility to experiment with their games and business models on the TV, is something that's long overdue." – David Edery (Spry Fox, creator of Triple Town)
Design matters.
We believe a great console requires a great user experience. We are working with the award-winning designer, Yves Behar, and his firm fuseproject (designer of the Jambox).
We are designing the controller to be a love letter to console gaming. It will have everything you've learned to love: fast buttons, triggers, laser-precise analog sticks, a D-Pad – and it will have a touchpad for any games making the trek from mobile or tablet to the TV. It'll be just the right weight. We are working with select developers to play-test the controller through development. We call it 'the Stradivarius of controllers,' and we hope developers will be inspired to take gameplay to a new level with it.
Hackers welcome.
Have at it: It's easy to root (and rooting won't void your warranty). Everything opens with standard screws. Hardware hackers can create their own peripherals, and connect via USB or Bluetooth. You want our hardware design? Let us know. We might just give it to you. Surprise us!
- Tegra3 quad-core processor
- 8GB of internal flash storage
- HDMI connection to the TV, with support for up to 1080p HD
- WiFi 802.11 b/g/n
- Bluetooth LE 4.0
- USB 2.0 (one)
- Wireless controller with standard controls (two analog sticks, d-pad, eight action buttons, a system button), a touchpad
- Android 4.0
- ETHERNET! (Announced by Muffi 7/18)
It's entertainment beyond gaming.
Because OUYA is based on Android, any app developer could publish their Android app to OUYA. The possibilities are limitless, and conversations with potential partners are already underway. Here's our first: do you like watching StarCraft, or League of Legends? Watch Twitch.TV on your OUYA.
We've come a long way already. The user interface and industrial designs are far along. Our prototype is up and running. What we have left to do is simple, but it's expensive. (We're looking at you Mark Cuban! Woz! Help us out.)
All we need is you.
With your help, we need to:
- Convert our prototype to production-ready models and get all the regulatory approvals (yeah, we need these to sell them)
- Deliver developer kits (for early developers so we can have games on day one, though every console will include an SDK once we launch)
- Place our first production orders (we are working with a manufacturing firm with lots of game hardware experience, but we need to know how many to make!)
- Ideally, fund some initial game development (i.e., 1st-party games)
And if you're international, we want your help too…gaming is global, and we will get you OUYA. We still have a lot to figure out in regards to rights and countries, but it can be done. Look what we've accomplished already!
Show the world, through your numbers, that you're out there.
Show them you're ready to level the playing field. Enlist others. The more we raise, the more we can do.
OOO-yah. Apparently it doesn't have the most pleasant meaning in Swahili.
We want you to pay only for the games you love. A "free to play" model works when everyone (gamers and game makers) benefits from directly rewarding amazing games.
For gamers, every game will be free to play: what this means is that there will at least be a free demo, or you'll be able to play the entirety of the game for free but may have access to additional items, upgrades, or other features that come at a cost.
For developers, free to play means that they can set their own prices. Developers know best: There is no better way to sell a game than to have folks that have actually touched the game share glowing reviews with their friends. By allowing some form of free play, we'll help them do just that. The only reason you used to pay for games before playing them is that you couldn't try them at the store before you brought them home – it's a relic of an old way of doing business, and one of the many things about the games business we plan to change.
It's a little early to share a final roster. We'll do that when we get closer to launch next year.
OUYA will offer the best games possible—and a wide range of them—including new games developed specifically to take advantage of the OUYA console. As you can see in this Kickstarter, we're already taking to some of the best-known game developers, and beloved indie game makers. We trust them to deliver the goods!
If you have a game you'd like to see on OUYA you can request it:
And remember, because OUYA is based on Android, any app developer could publish their Android app to OUYA.
Nope! Just let us know which color you'd like in the survey you'll receive at the end of the KS drive!
No. Nope. Nyet. Nein. Can we say it more clearly?
OUYA was not created merely to host ports of existing Android games. We've built this badboy to play the most creative content from today's best known AAA game designers as well as adored indie gamemakers.
That said, we believe many existing Android games will feel bigger and better on a TV with a real controller. And we've heard from developers like Brian Fargo and Adam Saltsman that the controller will be the most exciting reason to develop for OUYA. We hope they speak for all developers when they say OUYA will inspire new forms of gameplay.
Mojang has committed that Minecraft (and their other games) will be on OUYA -- but only if we prove that we can make a great product (that's our job) AND enough people want their games (that's your job). Show them with your numbers that you want Minecraft on OUYA!
Drop us a line! We'd love to hear from you and hear what you expect out of this platform.
Our business model is simple. It's identical to the mobile game model – nothing fancy or sneaky. We'll share revenue – you get 70 percent. We're planning to make it as easy as possible for you. And OUYA is built on Android. It will also support most of the popular engines. Already Unity is a launch partner.
We'd be pumped to have you on board. We're already talking to folks like InXile, Owlchemy Labs, Semi Secret, Storm8, Spry Fox, Madfinger Games, Trendy Entertainment, Happion Labs, Mojang, Jordan Mechner, and thatgamecompany. Let us know if you support us, and we'll add you to our list…
We would love to have you join the conversation, and make games on OUYA.
We can support any apps built for Android. We'll be launching with Twitch.TV and can't wait for more partners. If you have an Android app you'd like to see on OUYA, let us know at http://mailto:firstname.lastname@example.com.
When we say, "open" we mean it. We've made many decisions based on this philosophy:
Launching on Kickstarter – this isn't just a way to raise funds. It's our way of involving supporters from the get go. We want your feedback as well as your support.
For gamers, we believe that OUYA will be more open than any platform on the market to a broad range of content that is really new and interesting, from the best known names in games to exciting indies that you may be getting to know for the first time.
For developers, open means that any developer can publish a game – if you've got a game, you can put it on OUYA. You can price your game however you like – it's your game! We just want to help you bring it to life on the TV. Just make some part of the experience free to the OUYAs. We use open-source software and standard chipsets – we're on Android because developers are speaking the language. Our chipsets aren't proprietary or secretive – open OUYA up and have a look! We'll even publish the hardware design if people want it.
For hackers: root it. Go ahead. Your warranty is safe. Even the hardware is hackable. Want to get inside? You'll need a standard screwdriver and nothing more. Go to town. We have standard USB ports and Bluetooth, so you'll even be able to create your own peripherals.
As with every platform, though, we have to balance openness with a quality user experience. So we'll have a standard user interface. We'll curate your games in our storefront so they're easy for everyone to get to. And we'll require that all games we put in our store include a free experience. If you don't like our choices, root the device and make it your own.
Yes. Hola. Gaming is global. We wish we didn't have to charge people extra shipping to send OUYA overseas, but until someone invents teleportation, we'll have to use the tried-and-true method.
OUYA will support multiple voltages (Input Voltage Range: 110 V AC to 220 V AC), with your own adaptor. We're looking into supporting other languages, too – if you show us you want it! We're launching in English for now, though.
Lastly, some developers might choose to only publish in some countries, but that's their choice – not ours.
Very. We expect to have a finished product ready to ship to you in March. (With the very first boxes – bugs and all – ready a few months earlier.)
We have a functional prototype, and we have almost completed our industrial design (the shape and materials of the product you see here). We know the hardware specifications, and are working with electrical and mechanical engineers to test the performance of the hardware. We have begun work on the user interface and software. We'll pull all these pieces together and test how they fit, while we finalize the product.
firstname.lastname@example.com - Write to us! We'll be a little slammed when we launch our Kickstarter campaign, we'll do our best to get to you!

Making a Retro/Vintage Style Badge With Illustrator - Yassine Bentaieb. This week we will be making a nice retro/vintage style badge.
We will create the badge with all the shapes and text we need in Illustrator and then finish it off in Photoshop with some nice textures to give it that vintage feeling. You will learn more about the Pathfinder, Offset Paths, playing with type, and making an awesome badge! Artistic Printing Inspiration in Illustrator and Photoshop. This morning I was tidying up my apartment then I decided to organize my books, I didn't bring many books to San Francisco, only the ones I really like, and among them there is The Handy Book of Artistic Printing: Collection of Letterpress Examples with Specimens of Type, Ornament, Corner Fills, Borders, Twisters, Wrinklers, and other Freaks of Fancy .
I love this book because it's full of letterpress examples, like type, ornaments, corner fills borders and much more. Vintage Badge in Illustrator and Photoshop. It's been more than two weeks since I've finally moved permanently to California, USA.
Before the big move I was playing with Illustrator and Photoshop to create a vintage look badge. After a few hours trying different typefaces I got a nice result and published it on my Dribbble profile. I have received quite a few emails since I published that asking me how I did the effect, so in this tutorial I will show you how to create a vintage look badge using Illustrator and Photoshop.

DIY: How To Make a Professional Softbox for Under $20. Nowadays a softbox needn't be all that expensive - you can get nice results for $100 or even less.
But what if there's a way of making it much cheaper, with the same results? That's what we'll be explaining in this DIY tutorial; how to make a softbox with professional results for less than $20. Step 1: What is a Softbox? A Softbox is a type of light modifier, used specially in studio or outdoor portraits. It creates a soft diffused light by directing light through some diffusing material.
Studio lighting on a budget. Words and pictures Philip Weston If you want to take ultra modern style portraits with the pure white backgrounds, but think you can't because you only have one studio light think again.
Experts may tell you that you need five lights comprising main or key light, fill light, hair light and at least two background lights, and who on earth can afford five studio flashes? The secret lies not in throwing money at the idea, but at flexing the old brain power. The only photographic equipment you'll need in addition to your single light is a meter capable of measuring whatever your light is to within a half f/stop accuracy. Photoflex Lighting School - Your Free Lighting Lesson Resource. Basic Lighting A good place to start.
These lessons demonstrate professional lighting techniques using only basic lighting tools. Having good lighting equipment is important, but knowing how to use it well is paramount! Lessons with Video.

VOTE: Who's Your Favorite Star Judge?
by Sarah De Heer in Judges, June 20, 2013This season, Alton, Bobby and Giada are playing two roles: mentors and judges. When they're not sharing their expert advice with the remaining contestants during challenges, they're making the tough decisions — who stays and who goes each week. While they work together as a team to make these verdicts, each judge has his and her own personality and point of view that will help shape these decisions.
During Season 8 of Star, viewers saw even more of their characters come out as Alton, Giada and Bobby had to compete against each other for the first time. Both Bobby and Alton have admitted that while Giada is sweet, she loves to win and is a serious competitor. Bobby certainly has the cooking chops, and as Chad said earlier this season, "Alton knows just a little bit more about everything than you do." So that leads Star Talk to ask fans this question: Who's your favorite Star judge? Vote in the poll.

Paula Deen is 66. What part of retire is not a good idea. Let some young blood into the Food Network.
First place: Alton. Second place: Bobby. 6th place; Giada. She is awful. Anorexic looking, with a fake smile, and a huge bobble-head. Not to mention an attitude that screams "I'm better than you", even though there is no evidence that she can even cook. Most of her recipes I have tried were taste-less and unpleasant. Ick. Why not swap her out with Anne Burrell? Alton, Bobby and Anne would be an amazing tag team!
Anne Burrell!? I hate her. My family's joke is Man Burrell
How many years have viewers been forced to look at Giada's shirt line...I am not interested. And yet she humiliated Damaris over a shimmy??? She loved hurting her and that makes me sick. I will NEVER watch Giada again, last year was bad enough but this year her arrogance has gone too far. ALSO shame on you for Paula Deens :Witch Hunt."
Love the judges and the show but why is Rodney's filthy mouth still on the show. I get so tired of him speaking in circles and not very professional. good show but I am really tired of listening to him.
Alton and Bobby are both good judges who balance one another. I am not a fan of Giada for all the reasons previously stated by others. I turn the channel when her show comes on and can't imagine why anyone would watch her. She is pretentious and off-putting. I continue to watch the Food Network Star even though she is a judge but cringe whenever she is offering comments. Hope you will decide on some other worthy female judge next time - one who is genuine and is not condescending and who is confident enough to dress appropriately.
don't ever have these judges back!
I found it hard to watch this years finals. Sad that Giada has allowed herself to become somewhat of a sex SYMBOL chef...instead of the chef she has proven herself to be. You APPEAR TO HAVE sold yourself out to low-cut dresses and heels...instead of standing up to the professional you have PROVEN yourself to be. Young girls are watching...you are hurting the dreams for girls/ future chefs with less physical attributes. SO DISAPPOINTED IN YOU.

(We also have a local agent.) Deal direct with the owner...no middle man. Check with us for availability. New Renovation 2011. Don't be fooled...no disappointments in this condo. Contact us for details or last minute reservations. This condo is completely redone from top to bottom with all new appliances, the largest chef's kitchen with granite counters, tile throughout, walk-in shower, new ceilings, furniture, pictures, paint and lots of extras. It is one of the best penthouse one bedroom vacation condos in the complex with an ocean view, quiet and private.
A queen-size bed with high thread count sheets and a very well-equipped condo awaits you after your long journey. Awake to the sounds of the ocean and then enjoy a morning walk along Alii Drive, stop by Lava Java and return to breakfast on the ocean view lanai. This condo has been totally renovated with tropical art work, a flat screen TV, all the small appliances needed and a washer and dryer in the unit.
Dining on the lanai is a special treat morning to evening. Linens and candles are an added touch in this condo. You may also wish to dine a few steps away at the barbeque deck where there are 2 barbeques and lots of dining tables and chairs for larger groups. If you are having a larger gathering or party, you may want to reserve a space and date with the manager.
(We also have a 2 bedroom, 2 bath condo on the same property with an amazing panoramic ocean view from the lanai and most rooms in the condo. Pictures and site available upon request. This condo may be available even if the availability calendar shows "no vacancy". So don't hesitate to ask me. It has recently been renovated inside.)

The complex is direct oceanfront with additional viewing from a special sea wall with benches for sunset evenings with neighbors and friends. We enjoy going down in the early morning to watch the morning gloaming.
Gene & Charlie was perfect host!! The condo was also perfect! Gene response to my email almost immediately when I did the booking and that we very helpful. He also email us information on where to go for site seeing and where to eat. The contract was very detail and was very easy to read.

Thanks Gene and Charlie.

Breakfast Topic: Performance anxiety {WoW}
Mar 16th 2009 4:07PM To be honest, the post by Zach is so sad in the grand scheme of things.
Eventually Ulduar will be just another raid like Naxx and this whole businnes of tryouts will be extremely silly in a few months. There is a chance that Ulduar will stay on the difficulty meter like BT or Sunwell but even so, guilds that pull together are the ones that have successful runs.
Also, it's a pitty that guilds that are selective about people are the ones that have difficulty scraping people together to do runs. That uber MT or Healer's work schedule changes and now you're short people. It happens every time.
Zach, since you're an officer, please take some advice. Screw the tryouts. Make sure all your guild mates are welcome to go. Include more people in your 25-man Naxx runs and start doing full clears in one night. Don't do elitist 10-man runs on off nights. Start putting together regular runs that include the entire guild.
The more qualified people you have in your arsenal the more successful the guild will be.

AT&T will continue Blizzard hosting {WoW}
Mar 4th 2009 4:33PM Just to clarify, obviously internet evolved out of ARPANET. UUNET is responsible for helping build the various internet exchange points that evolved into the internet we use today.
AT&T will continue Blizzard hosting {WoW}
Mar 4th 2009 4:21PM AT&T is smart move for only one reason; they are a Tier 1 provider.
However, AT&T has the most antiquated infrastructure in their industry. It's simply due to them being such an old company. AT&T is one of the slowest to upgrade and improve their infrastructure. They are also famous for charging way above average for their services.
I think we would see a performance increase if Blizzard switched to Verizon for their backbone connections. Verizon's enterprise internet connections are basically UUNET. UUNET invented the internet. Verizon acquired this infrastructure from MCI when MCI folded.
You're connections are only as good as your peering relationships. Verizon/UUNET has some of best peering agreements in the industry. They also happen to own more fibre than anyone else which means they don't have to hand off the data to other networks as often.
AT&T will continue Blizzard hosting {WoW}
Mar 4th 2009 4:05PM I wouldn't go that far.
Blizzard uses Oracle for the database backend. There is no doubt that they have database and Oracle geniuses working at Blizzard.
However, Blizzard has simply evolved and matured over the years as far as their infrastructure is concerned.
If you follow Blizzard news closely and read between the lines you'll find that Blizzard often throws more hardware at the issue to overcome performance issues.
The ones that revolutionize the internet are the ones that do more with less. The ones that optimize their infrastructure backed to use less CPU cycles and less hardware. I don't think Blizzard falls into this category.
Phat Loot Phriday: Staff of Trickery {WoW}
Feb 20th 2009 10:56PM I'm glad there are a few people with a brain. The person that wrote the article obviously didn't have one.
As someone has pointed out, only the Druids see the Feral Attack power in the stats. No one else does.
Blizzard has done this on purpose because Druids and Hunters now share loot. They don't want Hunters looking at certain gear and passing on it when they see FAP.
Just to make my point clear, when a Hunter sees this drop they will naturally be interested. They can't see it has feral attack power on it!
I feel so bad for the Hunter and Druids and raid groups that will get thrown into this mess.
This staff and others are now equally useable by multiple classes. You also can't expect Hunters and other classes to know every piece of gear and know that druids are drooling over a drop when everyone can't even see what the Druid is seeing.
If WoW Insider has any self respect they will update the article to point this out.

Is your home secure? Burglary prevention is all about being proactive, and it doesn't take tremendous effort to protect your home against thieves. It's all about having the right tools at your disposal. The majority of burglars in the U.S. are committed by unskilled males under the age of 25, most of whom are looking for easy targets. There are a lot of home security products out there, from full-fledged systems to simple burglary deterrents, but we have narrowed down the three most important, which no home should ever be without.
1. An Alarm System
First and foremost, every home should have a quality alarm system in place. It is the single most important ingredient in any home security recipe, and it's the first thing that criminals look for when casing a home. Home security systems are more affordable than ever, and many of the newer wireless systems are incredibly easy to install. Make sure to advertise your system with plenty of yard signs and decals, so that any would-be intruders are made instantly aware of your armed security.
2. Surveillance Cameras
No, you don't need to drop $3,000 on a government-grade surveillance system. Even a couple of simple, inexpensive IP (Internet protocol) cameras can be extremely effective for optimizing your home security. And when placed in a highly visible location (such as on a front porch), security cameras can make excellent burglary deterrents. In the event of an actual home invasion, your cameras may help to secure a conviction, while improving your odds of recovering any stolen property. Most importantly, the footage removes the mystery from the crime, thereby enabling you to maintain your power in the situation. If you're on a budget, you can use dummy cameras to scare away burglars.
3. Security Lights
It may surprise you to find lights included among the top 3 security essentials, but hear us out. Even though the majority of burglaries statistically occur between the house of 9 a.m. and 3 p.m., security lights are tremendously effective for deterring the most dangerous of home invaders: the nighttime burglars. When you remove the cover of darkness, the thieves are left visible and vulnerable, and in most cases, this will send them running in the other direction. Invest in a set of quality motion sensor lights, and never allow criminals to lurk in the shadows while your family sleeps.
Honorable Mention
If you already have your security, surveillance and lighting needs covered, consider maximizing your home safety with a few additional components. For instance, a driveway alarm makes an excellent early warning system, and can provide you with instant alerts whenever someone creeps onto your property. You might also replace your locks with keyless biometric readers, in order to eliminate the vulnerabilities associated with traditional locks. Finally, consider reinforcing your windows with windows bars or aftermarket locks (latches alone are insufficient).
Do You Have Kids?
If you have small children in the home, you're going to need a few additional safety essentials not typically included in your standard home security plan. Home Security is about protecting your family not only from outside forces, but also from potential dangers within the home. Pool alarms, door latches, cabinet locks, baby monitors…these are just some of the child safety essentials that you'll want to incorporate into your home security equation. You can find many of them here.
If you're looking for a top-grade home security system at an affordable price, check out the wide selection at Home Security Store. Arm your home with the ultimate protection, and experience renewed peace of mind.

New York tries to create Gardens of Eden on city streets
The Bloomberg administration sets up oases of plants and blooms of umbrellas along Broadway in a quest to devise a new urban aesthetic. Is it the Left Bank of Paris or just a bank of shrubs?
Ann Hermes/The Christian Science Monitor
New York
Public spaces along Broadway, the original Manhattan thoroughfare that slashes through a rectangular grid of streets, creating triangular intersections with paradoxical names like Times Square, have hardly been havens for people out for a leisurely walk or an outdoor cappuccino.
In fact, the quintessential Broadway tableaux bring images of the Canyon of Heroes and ticker-tape parades, the flashing din of 20-story advertisements and New Year's dropping crystal, or the glitz of the theater district and its blaring marquees. For the most part, there are no New York pedestrians on its narrow sidewalks – only New York crowds.
But for the past few months, the city has been unveiling a remarkable new approach to its streetscape, including a subtle transformation of the famous Manhattan way, meant to make its streets more green than mean. In addition to closing off selected "summer" streets from vehicles, the Bloomberg administration has begun to line its thoroughfares with bike paths, patchworks of greenery, and the colorful bloom of umbrella'd tables and chairs.
While dozens of relatively quiet spaces exist throughout the city – not to mention the vast 843-acre swath of ponds and trees in Central Park – New York foresees a million more residents by 2030 and a need for an enhanced street life at once more walkable, livable, and public.
"To accommodate that kind of growth, we have to use our streets much more effectively and efficiently," says Janette Sadik-Khan, commissioner of New York City Department of Transportation. "So we're taking a fresh look at our streetscape, our 6,000 miles of streets, with an eye toward the best and highest use of some the most in-demand public space in the country, if not the world. Surely we can do more than just move cars as quickly as possible from point A to point B."

Reliance Electric was founded in 1904 in Cleveland, Ohio, as a partnership between two cousins: inventor John Lincoln and industrialist Peter Hitchcock. Lincoln had been working on a new type of direct current motor. Direct current was the primary means of electrification at the time because alternating current was considered dangerous and unpredictable. Lincoln invented the first adjustable-speed direct current motor. They shipped their first industrial electric motor in 1905. The two named their new company after the inventor, Lincoln Electric Motor Works.
In 1907, Lincoln sold his interest in the company to Charles and Ruben Hitchcock, Peter's sons. The youngest, Ruben took over the company. But having little business or electrical experience, Ruben sought a new president. He found one in Clarence Collens, a Yale graduate, who stayed with the company in that capacity for the next 40 years. When Collens came on as president, the company was incorporated as Reliance Electric and Engineering Company.
The variable-speed motor was Reliance's only product until 1913. That year, the company's chief engineer, Alex McCutcheon, designed a new DC motor that soon became Reliance's primary product. It was used in many of Cleveland's booming steel mills and was a mainstay of the DC product line until the early 1950s.
Reliance began to design and manufacture industrial alternating current (AC) motors in the 1920s, but the company was late to join the race to convert to AC.
Reliance executives realized that they needed to find a niche for their company to remain competitive and profitable. They decided that the company would concentrate on becoming a flexible, timely supplier of industrial motors and emphasize the applied engineering aspect of the business. To accomplish this conversion, the Reliance sales department was organized with technically knowledgeable people. These representatives would not just sell Reliance products, they would also investigate customers' needs and recommend equipment to get the job done.
One of the salesmen, Jim Corey, proved his technical expertise when he received a patent for an adjustable-voltage, multi-motor control system for use in the paper and textile industries.
Reliance made its first inroads into the AC business in 1927 with a modification of the General Electric enclosed fan-cooled motor.
The company grew quickly on the basis of these new technologies, and in 1929, on the eve of the Great Depression, Reliance's sales peaked at about $3 million. The Corey motor helped partially insulate the company from the severe economic downturn, since the textile industry was virtually depression-proof. The introduction of the first electrical variable-speed drive package during the 1930s established Reliance's enduring leadership in that facet of the business.
During World War II, Reliance served as a primary supplier of motors to the military, especially the Navy. The company also supplied the motors needed to build hundreds of tanks.
During the 1950s, the company expanded its electrically based products to include mechanical power transmission products through the acquisition of Reeves Pulley and the Master Electric Company.
Mergers and acquisitions continued in the 1960s and 1970s. The Mechanical Group was expanded with the purchase of the Dodge Manufacturing Company in 1967.
Reliance became the largest industrial motor manufacturer in the United States with the April 1986 purchase of the Medium AC Motor Division from one of its oldest competitors, Westinghouse Electric Co.
In November 1994, industry leaders Reliance and Allen-Bradley joined Rockwell Automation, becoming the number one provider of high-performance automation products in the world.
A new motor plant was opened in Columbus, Nebraska in 1995. Reliance and Allen-Bradley drive systems realigned to form Rockwell Automation Drive Systems.
Reliance employs the newest satellite technology to train and communicate with its sales force.
New innovations included:
In 1996, Reliance, American Superconductor and the U. S. Department of Energy develop the Superconductivity Partnership Initiative.
Installed VPI tank (largest in the United States) at Houston Service Center, allowing for high quality remanufacturing of larger motors.
AutoMax PC3000 introduced to provide tight integration of high-performance controllers via personal computer-based control.
In 1997 IQ Intelligent AC Motors, the worlds first motors with on-line motor-related process diagnostics, win five major industry technology awards.
VSM 500 Integrated Drive motor introduced.
Powerful new electronic marketing tools developed
Madison, IN plant awarded Demand Flow Technology 1997 Plant of the Year.
Drives production transferred from Athens, Georgia, allowing for expanded motors production at Athens plant and greater drives' manufacturing efficiencies in Mequon, WI.
Long-standing support to motor efficiency initiatives continued through commitment to Motor Challenge partnership with the U.S. Department of Energy.
In 1998, KATO Engineering sold to Caterpillar, its largest customer for generators.
Initiated innovative way to communicate to customers and distributors through WREL 100.1, live radio broadcast at EASA 98 Show.
Reliance Electric Motors joined DODGE Mechanical to form Rockwell Automations Power Systems Business in Greenville, SC.

We have identified three new tumor necrosis factor-receptor associated factor (TRAF) domain-containing proteins in humans using bioinformatics approaches, including: MUL, the product of the causative gene in Mulibrey Nanism syndrome; USP7 (HAUSP), an ubiquitin protease; and SPOP, a POZ domain-containing protein. Unlike classical TRAF family proteins involved in TNF family receptor (TNFR) signaling, the TRAF domains (TDs) of MUL, USP7, and SPOP are located near the NH(2) termini or central region of these proteins, rather than carboxyl end. MUL and USP7 are capable of binding in vitro via their TDs to all of the previously identified TRAF family proteins (TRAF1, TRAF2, TRAF3, TRAF4, TRAF5, and TRAF6), whereas the TD of SPOP interacts weakly with TRAF1 and TRAF6 only. The TD of MUL also interacted with itself, whereas the TDs of USP7 and SPOP did not self-associate. Analysis of various MUL and USP7 mutants by transient transfection assays indicated that the TDs of these proteins are necessary and sufficient for suppressing NF-kappaB induction by TRAF2 and TRAF6 as well as certain TRAF-binding TNF family receptors. In contrast, the TD of SPOP did not inhibit NF-kappaB induction. Immunofluorescence confocal microscopy indicated that MUL localizes to cytosolic bodies, with targeting to these structures mediated by a RBCC tripartite domain within the MUL protein. USP7 localized predominantly to the nucleus, in a TD-dependent manner. Data base searches revealed multiple proteins containing TDs homologous to those found in MUL, USP7, and SPOP throughout eukaryotes, including yeast, protists, plants, invertebrates, and mammals, suggesting that this branch of the TD family arose from an ancient gene. We propose the moniker TEFs (TD-encompassing factors) for this large family of proteins.

The other day I was out shopping in London and decided to pick up another game for my imported US PS3 (FEAR, for those of you who are curious). This is the first PAL region game I've bought, but knowing that the PS3 is region free I wasn't worried about compatibility issues. When I got back and put the disc in the drive, I was met by a very disappointing message: "This game not supported (80028F10)". Confused, and a bit pissed off, I did some Googling and stumbled on a very helpful thread on the official European PLAYSTATION forum.
It turns out that there's an issue with US/JAP PS3s running 576 lines of resolution (the European standard). That is, they can't do it. So European games that don't support 480i/p simply won't play. The only solution is to step up to the lowest common resolution for all regions, 720i/p. Of course, for that you'll need a HDTV and a high definition connector for your console. As a result, FEAR is fast becoming the most expensive game I've ever bought.
It's difficult to say whether this will affect people who are planning on nabbing themselves some US games for their PAL PS3s. If you have any anecdotal evidence showing that this works fine, then let us know. As for the Americans out there who are looking forward to importing Singstar next month, you'll probably suffer from this same problem if you've yet to take the plunge and gone HD.

Dr. Georg Ehlers
Lead Instrument Scientist: Cold Neutron Chopper Spectrometer (CNCS), SNS
PhD in Experimental Condensed Matter Physics, the Hahn Meitner Institut, in Berlin, Germany
Description of Research
Dr. Ehlers joined the Spallation Neutron Source (SNS) in 2003 as the lead instrument scientist for beam line 5, the Cold Neutron Chopper Spectrometer (CNCS). CNCS is a high-resolution, direct geometry, cold neutron, inelastic multi-chopper spectrometer, designed to make use of neutrons with an energy of <50 meV.
Before joining the SNS, Dr. Ehlers worked at the Institute Laue-Langevin (ILL), a leading European neutron research facility situated in Grenoble, France for six years. At the ILL, he was instrument-responsible for the spin-echo spectrometers IN11 and IN15, and established a strong research program using the neutron spin echo technique in the study of geometrically frustrated and other exotic magnetic materials. While at the ILL, he also helped launch a project to build a new spin echo instrument known as the Wide Angle Neutron Spin Echo Spectrometer Project (WASP).
Dr. Ehlers has published more than 70 research articles in international peer reviewed journals. He is a referee for the journals of Physical Review Letters, Review of Modern Physics, Physical Review B, Journal of Physics Condensed Matter, Physical Chemistry Chemical Physics, and Nuclear Instruments and Methods.

Steelers QB has shoulder sprain
PITTSBURGH (AP) — Pittsburgh quarterback Ben Roethlisberger (RAWTH'-lihs-bur-gur) has a sprained right shoulder and left Heinz Field with his arm in a sling. His status for Sunday's showdown with AFC North rival Baltimore is uncertain.
Roethlisberger left Monday night's overtime win over Kansas City in the third quarter after getting slammed to the ground by Chiefs linebackers Tamba Hali and Justin Houston.
Veteran backup Byron Leftwich filled in and completed 7 of 14 passes for 73 yards.
Tomlin said safety Troy Polamalu (pah-luh-MAH'-loo) remains doubtful with a right calf injury. Polamalu hasn't played since a win over Philadelphia on Oct. 7.
Black on IR
TAMPA, Fla. (AP) — Tampa Bay linebacker Quincy Black will miss the remainder of the season after injuring his neck making a tackle.
The Buccaneers have said they expect Black to recover from a collision with San Diego's Ryan Mathews, but that the sixth-year pro is experiencing some complications with his left arm.
Black was injured during Tampa Bay's victory over the Chargers on Sunday. He was taken to a hospital for observation and later released.
Black started five games and finished with 32 tackles.
Bears sign back-up quarterback
LAKE FOREST, Ill. (AP) — The Chicago Bears have signed veteran backup quarterback Josh McCown with Jay Cutler's status for this week uncertain. Cutler sat out the second half of Sunday's loss to Houston with a concussion. Jason Campbell took over and is expected to start Monday at San Francisco if Cutler can't go. But the Bears needed a backup.
McCown appeared in three games with Chicago last season and made two starts, completing 35 of 55 passes for 414 yards, two touchdowns and four interceptions.
Charged dropped against Minnesota running back
HOUSTON (AP) — A grand jury in Houston has dismissed a misdemeanor resisting arrest charge against Minnesota Vikings running back Adrian Peterson after hearing from the four-time Pro Bowl running back and other witnesses.
Derek Hollingsworth, one of Peterson's attorneys, says the case stemming from Peterson's July 7 arrest outside a nightclub is expected to be formally dropped on Wednesday. Peterson was due in court for a pretrial hearing on Thursday before Judge Natalie Fleming.
Minnesota governor chide Vikings on planned seat fees
MINNEAPOLIS (AP) — Minnesota Gov. Mark Dayton says he will fight any effort by the Vikings to charge fans extra fees to buy season tickets in the new publicly subsidized football stadium.
In a sharply worded letter, Dayton told team owner Zygi Wilf that he is distressed by reports the team may charge seat license fees to help generate money for the stadium. Dayton says he will urge a public authority to block any such move.
The team is due to pay slightly more than half of the $975 million price tag. Dayton told Wilf that the contribution is the responsibility of team owners, not fans.
The governor has long pushed for what he calls a "People's Stadium." He says he won't let the result be a "Rich People's Stadium."
Manager of Year awards to be announced
UNDATED (AP) — The baseball post-season awards continue with the top manager in each league set to be named later today.
The National League honor will likely go to Washington's Davey Johnson. The 70-year-old led the Nationals to their first NL East title and a majors-high 98 wins. Washington lost to the St. Louis Cardinals in an NL division series, blowing a 6-0 lead in Game 5.
Cincinnati's Dusty Baker and San Francisco's Bruce Bochy (BOH'-chee) are the other finalists.
In the American League, it's expected to come down to Baltimore's Buck Showalter and Oakland's Bob Melvin.
Showalter guided a young Orioles team into an unexpected playoff spot after four successive last-place finishes. Melvin led the Athletics to the AL West championship with a late-season surge. Oakland became the first team in major league history to win a division or pennant after trailing by five games with under 10 to play.
Chicago's Robin Ventura is the other finalist.
Cubs sign former Twin Baker
CHICAGO (AP) — The Chicago Cubs have agreed to a one-year contract with former Minnesota Twins pitcher Scott Baker that guarantees $5.5 million next season.
The veteran right-hander could earn an additional $1.5 million in performance bonuses. The Cubs announced the move Tuesday.
Baker was 63-48 with a 4.15 ERA with Minnesota from 2005-11. He underwent Tommy John ligament replacement surgery April 17 and missed last season after being limited to 23 appearances (21 starts) in 2011.
Vonn in hospital
UNDATED (AP) — Four-time World Cup overall champ Lindsay Vonn remains hospitalized in Colorado with "severe intestinal pain" that has been affecting her for the past two weeks.
Vonn's ski technician, Heinz Haemmerle, tells the AP that this isn't the first time she has gone to a hospital but it is the first time she has remained. He says that Vonn hasn't trained since going out in the second run of the season-opening giant slalom Oct. 27 in Austria.
Haemmerle added that Vonn told him she feels has pain all over her body and that her bones are hurting.
Budinger out after surgery
MINNEAPOLIS (AP) — Minnesota swingman Chase Budinger will miss the next three to four months while recovering from surgery to repair a torn lateral meniscus in his left knee.
Dr. James Andrews performed the surgery Tuesday, three days after Budinger was injured in a game against the Chicago Bulls.
Budinger is averaging 11.8 points and had helped fill in for Brandon Roy, who has missed two straight games with knee soreness.
Unbeatn Knicks in action
UNDATED (AP) — The NBA's only remaining spotless record goes on the line tonight when the Knicks visit Orlando as part of a six-game schedule. New York is 4-0 for the first time since starting the season with seven straight wins in 1993-94 on the way to the NBA Finals.
Carmelo Anthony is pacing the Knicks with a league-leading 27.3 scoring average.
San Antonio's not unbeaten, but they're off to a 6-1 start for the second-best record in the league. They have a high-profile meeting in Los Angeles with the Lakers tonight.
It will be the Lakers' first game since naming Mike D'Antoni as the new coach, replacing the fired Mike Brown. But D'Antoni isn't expected to be on the job yet while he recovers from knee replacement surgery. Interim coach Bernie Bickerstaff will be running the team as he has in the Lakers' two previous wins since Brown's departure.
The Wizards will try to break into the win column for the first time this season when they pay a visit to Charlotte. Washington has dropped its first five games.
Ranked showdowns
UNDATED (AP) — A pair of early-season top-25 showdowns highlight the college basketball schedule tonight.
Third-ranked Kentucky and No. 9 Duke square off in the first meeting of the storied programs since 2001. The Wildcats managed to survive a scare from Maryland in their season opener while Duke opened with an easy win over Georgia State.
The opening part of the doubleheader in Atlanta tonight has No. 7 Kansas meeting 21st-ranked Michigan State. The Jayhawks are coming off a 19-point win over Southeast Missouri while the Spartans suffered a three-point loss to then-unranked Connecticut in their opener.
The Huskies rode that win into the No. 23 spot in the AP poll this week. UConn takes on Vermont tonight as part of the seven-game Top 25 schedule.
Baylor hosts Kentucky
WACO, Texas (AP) — Top-ranked Baylor gets an early-season challenge when it hosts No. 6 Kentucky in women's college basketball tonight.
The Bears are led by national player of the year 6-foot-8 Brittany Griner and are considered a favorite to repeat as national champs. They return their entire starting line-up from last seasons's 40-0 team.
Kentucky is considered a favorite to win the Southeatern Conference.

New Maryland General and Limited Power of Attorney Act
There has been a serious problem with the lack of consistency when Powers of Attorney are presented to banks and other institutions such as title insurance companies and real estate settlement companies. Not infrequently the agent under a Power of Attorney would be informed that the Power of Attorney was not acceptable. There are also problems with people acting under Powers of Attorney doing inappropriate things, some even to the extent of stealing money.
Maryland has passed a new statute that becomes effective October 1, 2010 that attempts to solve many of these problems.
The new statute includes statutory forms for both General Powers of Attorney and Limited Powers of Attorneys and provides that, if a lawsuit has to be filed to force someone to accept it, there can be a request for reasonable attorney fees.

Hello people i am Adam nice to meet you all..I'm new and i was hoping for some help.
i have Recently purchased a Mk6 1.4 zetec fiesta it was going cheap as it has had a host of issues and i thought as abit savy with cars i could fix it and have a cheap run around whilst my Granada is being rebuilt.
Firstly i was told the head gasket redone by the previous owners expense which cost over 700 pounds in total.
things that have been changed
cam belt and runners
head gasket set
HEGO sensor
was sent to ford and had the EML reset 108 quid later! wow!
i have checked the timing and its fine aswell.
BUT! there is a slight problem i have discovered , ( the reason its so cheap) it keeps on stalling.... all the time , it idles okish.. any flick of the excelerator to say move off the engine dies...
So i purchase the car for a small fee coff! coff! 400 quid coff! coff!
i pop bonnet POP!!
started the engine idling badly
and av a good look! i couldn't see anything obvious in my face but i could hear a very loud hissing almost like a air leak coming from some where , i pulled the large air box off the top of the engine it sounded alot better when removed, which reveals the edis on the right and piping going too the injector rail and too a electromagnetic switch with piping going too the throttle body and then going to something else possibly the EGR then again i couldn't see.. does this engine even have one? there is another pipe which leads from the fuel pressure regulator and i think its leading too the TB aswell but i can't actually see..
My next idea is the Throttle body. it looks like a total sod to get too even though its in my face is it a common issue for these to stop working?
So i was wondering if anyone has had this problem them selfs and it would be fantastic if for your help.
