Fighting Testicular Cancer
Daniel J.'s Story
His scar is small, about four to five inches on his lower abdomen, just above the groin area. He doesn't really notice it much anymore, but the six-year memory lives vividly in his mind.
Daniel J. was never aware of the importance of self-exams for signs of testicular cancer, until he became a patient himself. As a 25-year-old delivery man at a local flower shop in Oakland, Calif., with no health insurance, he was more than unprepared when the situation arose. Looking back, he is surprised how little is done to inform the male population of the dangers of testicular cancer throughout adolescence.

Note that once the gstreamer 1.0 support is available in Firefox you'll need gstreamer-vaapi 0.5.3 or later, which is currently not available in any Ubuntu version.
I'd imagine you could get very different results on a big c++ project versus a c project, for example, and with or without an SSD.
I'm just saying, ${core} + 1 is not the best optimization for me and the test confirms the part:"but this guideline isn't always perfect"
this. When using Firefox 26 on Ubuntu 13.04 with the gstreamer 1.0 plugins installed, the top centre box (H.264) was red with an exclamation mark. Also, when using Firefox 26 on Ubuntu 12.04.1 with the gstreamer 0.10 plugins installed, if I go to about:config and set media.mediasource.enabled to true, I get this.
I'm guessing that the "MSE & H.264" box in the latter pic might become green with a tick once the fix/es for https://bugzilla.mozilla.org/show_bug.cgi?id=778617 and/or https://bugzilla.mozilla.org/show_bug.cgi?id=881512 land. Off-topic note: the demo hosted at http://bluishcoder.co.nz/2013/08/20/...n-firefox.html does work if media.mediasource.enabled is set to true.
This is great I was able to watch some nice videos on vimeo, without flash finally!!
Way cool Mozilla!

I, however, wanted Compiz, and openGL etc..
This requires me to use a binary blob.
I wasn't comparing radeonHD to nvidia, I was comparing catalyst to nvidia, and I believe nvidia has less problems
I find it very strange that radeonhd is being recommended, not radeon. Surely the Arch maintainers haven't forgotten that radeon supports *all* Radeons and not just the new ones, and that it's also the one that's actually build-tested?
As to the query near the beginning of the topic regarding GLSL, the state of it is that GLSL will probably show up in classic Mesa when somebody actually cares enough to write it, and in Gallium when I start supporting programmable shaders.
The problem is, even when you begin to ignore fglrx, then users will still demand it because of better 3d performane (or they have to tell em to buy a game console instead). So they have to use the ati installer directly, if thats better or not depends on point of view.
I have no problems fixing mistakes when they are discovered.
First of all, let's state that I'm a bit disappointed that a discussion on an open development list hits Phoronix as a news article without asking anyone from the distribution about comments.
Second, when this discussion started, Andy was already pissed off for some months with the way packagers are supported and how the driver works. He has been telling me "I'm giving AMD two more months and then I won't maintain this driver anymore if things don't improve" a while ago. Two months have passed and Andy decided to post on the public development mailinglist that he doesn't like to maintain the AMD Catalyst driver anymore and that we should look for community people to invest their time in this driver.
Note that the situation is not just AMD-specific. Nvidia also has this problem more or less, but they have the advantage that 50% of our developers have an Nvidia card and their drivers are in a better state and are not limited to X.Org architecture.
Remember that none of us gets paid to do Archlinux development. We're all spending spare time in this distribution. We maintain this distribution because we like to do so. When we lose interest in a package and don't want to maintain it anymore, it's better to drop the package to a group of people who are forced to use it, or who do want to maintain it.
As for xorg-server-1.6: This is a side-effect of the problems we face when packaging AMD's catalyst for our distribution. When our catalyst maintainer posts something on the AMD secret beta list, all he gets is silence. There's no information about what's coming up, when what will be supported and when what improvements will be made to the driver.
As it looks now, we're dropping the driver completely now because of compatibility issues with server-1.6, but won't add it back to the main distribution when it receives server-1.6 support. The community can pick up this task if they really want this driver, as there's no maintainer willing to maintain this driver anymore.
As for the radeonhd driver mentioned on the mailinglist as alternative: these people don't maintain the drivers related to X.Org and don't know which driver belongs to which chip exactly. For some newer chips the radeonhd driver works, but for most others the ati driver is the driver they need. Making fun out of someone on a public news site because he inofficially states that the radeonhd driver is an alternative is not a nice thing to do.
Then again, arch-dev-public is a development discussion list, which is public readable. It's not an announcement mailinglist. Articles like these really make me think whether I want to post something to arch-dev-public or just the private arch-dev list.
For your information, my draft for the xorg-server-1.6 announcement went to the private list and won't show up on the public list until all work on xorg-server-1.6 and its drivers are done.
i think this sums up what i wanted to write anyway.My reason for it to go to community is so a TU can dedicate attention to it, Andreas does not want to waste time on fixing this drivers as they are of no particular interest to him. Maybe a TU in community can apply patches to make the x86_64 9.2 release to work. But well, I'm fine with moving them to AUR, there are some distributions that do not provide catalyst at all in any form, comes to mind paldo GNU/Linux.
i haven't been using fglrx somewhere since 8.35. i tried it few times after it improved opengl performance, but i didn't like it.
Also, this is quite relevant information for some Arch Linux users and I'm not sure everyone of them reads that list, so that news item is certainly in order.

The Commander of Gondor
7. The Princess of Dol Amroth
First, they attended to a long-needed meeting with the garrison commander and the newest captain of the Rangers, Algarath, a young Dúnedain from the North, sent with the highest recommendation by Halbarad. Thorongil hadn't recognized his name, but Algarath would have been only a youth during his five years in Fornost. In awe, the young captain bowed to the heir of the fabled Stewards of Gondor, babbling his admiration to the bemused Denethor, but when Thorongil stepped into the room after pausing to greet one of his old comrades, Algarath was struck mute. Forgetting Halbarad's warning, he sucked in his breath and all but collapsed in obeisance when he caught sight of the star brooch Thorongil wore on his uniform. The commander discreetly waved off the captain's deference before it came to Denethor's notice.
After the meeting, the two, with Algarath in tow, had forded the Anduin and rode east toward the crossroads. Grey-blue clouds hung in low rows and there was a portent of snow in the air. On the brown verge along the old road lay the fallen statues of ancient kings, pulled down and desecrated by orcs. Water trickled from ruined causeways and the fire-blackened pillars of noble houses pushed up out of the concealing brush. The last of the brown leaves crackled on the branches and the dry grass whispered its rattling death. Winter tightened its hold on this forsaken land, and whatever birds and animals remained, sought their burrows.
Although the land was abandoned, a pervading evilness, felt even by Denethor rolled from the Morgul Valley like a noxious, invisible fog. The age-old ache starting behind Thorongil's eyes, and Algarath looked terrified, ready to bolt. The Steward's son reined in, stared in the direction of the lost Minas Ithil, visibly shivered, felt the fast-approaching dusk, and suggested they ride back across the river. Leaving Algarath with his men in Osgiliath, the pair galloped into the city on very tired mounts as the horns sounded the evening locking of the gates
Ecthelion met them in Denethor's Citadel office and questioned the pair for nearly two hours on the details of what they had seen. They spent most of dinner discussing reinforcing the troops on the east bank and guarding the south road. Over the years, his father, and grudgingly, Denethor had come to respect Thorongil's opinions on the defense of Gondor and found he was usually dead on regarding Ithilien. Denethor even viewed the commander as a trusted companion and, almost, as a friend.
Now, after a sumptuous dinner, he sat in the opposite chair, booted ankle on left knee, casually playing with his spur buckle, appearing not to watch Thorongil but observing him closely. Thorongil noted his companion had been silent for some time and recognized the covert assessment of those calculating, smoky eyes. The Steward's son finally cleared his throat.
"We once talked of your background, Thorongil. I'm still curious. That new Ranger captain looked at you as if you were a Maia newly arrived from Valinor. I swear he recognized you from somewhere."
"Maybe it was family resemblance; perhaps he knows my brother. He is from the North," Thorongil said amicably.
"Your background has long remained quite secretive." Denethor held up his hand as Thorongil began to protest. "I know the story: younger son…older brother a minor land owner in the north. I begin to think that is a fine creation of yours and perhaps your friend, Mithrandir? You know, the likeness between us has been noted." Denethor slowly poured another glass and smiled. "Are you sure you aren't another of my father's indiscretions?"
"I'm quite sure of my parentage and can assure you my father was not the Steward of Gondor." Thorongil sought to distract Denethor's line of thinking. "Do you really desire another brother?" he smiled.
Denethor laughed ruefully. "I already have one I'm not sure what to do with."
"Fallon's birth is not his fault. He is a good man and a fine officer, loyal to Gondor and his family," Thorongil pointed out.
Denethor sighed and nodded. "My respect for his abilities grows, and I think we could become allies, if not friends, but Father may soon remove Fallon from my consideration anyway."
"How so, if I may ask? After all, he is my second." He and Fallon had developed a deep friendship and he wasn't sure he would enjoy commanding the Guards quite as much without the rakish captain riding at his side.
"He is negotiating a betrothal with Dol Amroth, though now that Adrahil has passed suddenly, it requires Imrahil's approval. Marriage to the prince's youngest sister would be quite a coup for Fallon. Not only would he be wedding into a noble family, he would become a landed lord. Father holds some properties in Lossernach and Lebennin through his mother. With his new bride, Fallon would go there. He would be a vassal of Minas Tirith, his lady would be close to her home, and I can always use more levied soldiers."
"Does Fallon know of this? Has he met the princess?" Thorongil secretly chuckled at the thought of a match between his captain and the lovely Finduilas, but he knew Fallon's nature well enough to know the man would balk at taking a bride not of his choosing, even one as charming as the princess.
"He brought the idea to Father. He and the lady became close when he was a lieutenant at the garrison there. Adrahil was quite taken with him, no matter what his birth, but Imrahil is different. The prince is ambitious; he might disdain such a match for his sister, though the opportunity to wed into the Steward's house could let him overlook Fallon's birth." So, Finduilas was the beautiful Dol Amroth lady that had captured Fallon's heart when he had been stationed there. By Thorongil's reckoning, they had missed each other in Belfalas by a few short months. Denethor yawned and stretched.
"I'm for bed, Commander. Oh, Thorongil, I know how much you enjoy escorting diplomats. The Dol Amroth nobility is coming to Minas Tirith for the first time in many years for Father's Yule and Yester Eve celebrations. Your company has volunteered as the escort to ride out to Arnach and meet them." He saw the protest in Thorongil's eyes and held up his hand. "It was Fallon's request." He handed Thorongil the official orders from the side table. "To leave on Thursday next."
At the door, the commander pulled on his cloak preparing to step into the cold night. "Don't be too harsh on Fallon; like many foolish things, 'twas done for love, an emotion I understand that can move one to do foolhardy deeds, but fortunately, one to which you and I aren't beholden." Denethor clapped the commander on the back and his laugh followed Thorongil out into the night.
The commander sat in his office the next morning, waiting for his captain to make his appearance. The orders lay open in front of him. Ecthelion directed full diplomatic honors including armor for the entire company of troopers and dress uniforms for the officers. In December, a fifty-mile ride and return in full armor would be painfully cold for his men. He hoped at least for clear weather since the ride would prove pure misery in sleet.
"Fallon!" Thorongil thundered as soon as his captain's auburn head appeared. "Did you volunteer us for a diplomatic escort?" he shouted in mock anger.
Fallon looked stunned. "Yes, sir!" He snapped out at full attention. "Well, we are the City Guards…" Thorongil shook his head.
"One day I'll break you to lieutenant for these "volunteer" missions you send us on, and" the commander continued, "we'll see how pleased your lady will be about that!" He grinned at the captain then.
"You know my reason!" Fallon smiled almost shyly. "I'm sorry I didn't tell you about Finduilas sooner. I never believed she and I could wed, but her father was a good man, who saw to his daughter's happiness." He spent the rest of the morning regaling Thorongil with stories of Finduilas and her family. The tales evoked many memories for Thorongil and many times, he wanted to announce he knew the lady well, but he was unwilling to spoil his rakish captain's enthusiasm for Dol Amroth and his obvious infatuation with the princess and his plans for introducing her to his commander.
On Wednesday, the selected troopers rolled out of their barracks at dawn: duty assignments were posted, mounts declared fit, armor assembled and polished, and instructions for bivouac at Erui sent ahead. In the commander's office, Quillion's brush swished over Thorongil's dress jacket. The boy had the officers' best boots lined up for polishing next. The young squire sniffed occasionally, revealing his wounded heart. He was feeling particularly sorry for himself since he was to be left behind, and begging to go had earned him a sharp set-down from his idol, the commander. There was silence in the room except for Quillion's brush and the crackling of the fire in the brazier. The boy stole secretive glances at Fallon, who sat wool gathering, and at Thorongil, who sat working, willing them to change their minds.
A knock on the door heralded the tailor's boy with a large package for the commander. He signed the acceptance with a flourish, and both Fallon and Quillion looked on expectantly to see what the frugal commander had purchased.
To his surprise, Thorongil handed the package to Quillion. "An early Yule gift." He stood back, and with pleasure, watched the boy's eyes grow wide as he unwrapped a black cloak, edges finely embroidered, lined with red and clasped by a silver dragon. It was the exact match of the officers' ones.
"Oh, sir!" he breathed in awe, fastening the clasp at his neck and letting the soft wool folds drape to his ankles.
"You'll need the warmth tomorrow on the Harlond Road, Quillion." Thorongil watched as the boy nearly burst with excitement as he realized what the commander meant. He seemed about to hug the commander but Fallon's stern look of warning brought a proper salute instead. "Go see to your mount." Thorongil advised. "We can polish our own boots." Fallon shook his head at the commander's weakness for the boy, but graciously picked up both pairs and took them along with the polish to his desk, as the boy flew out in a whirl of cloak and shrieks of joy.
The next day dawned dry. Dagor snorted great puffs of dragon-smoke as he curveted in the morning air, for it was frigid cold. Fallon had Quillion buttoned up to the chin in his black uniform jacket. The new cloak was snugged around him, and tucked between his knees and the saddle as Fallon had shown him, to keep it from flying back uselessly as they galloped. The boy's riding lessons had improved his skill and he handled the sweet-tempered Elendi quite neatly. At least, Thorongil thought, he was no longer in constant danger of falling off. They trotted up the flagged streets to rendezvous with the troopers at the Citadel.
Usually the last to gallop up as the troop assembled for a sortie, Fallon had been waiting impatiently in the grey dawn. He looked polished and gallant in his dress coat and cape atop his chestnut stallion, Hafur. Both Fallon and Quillion seemed unaffected by the biting cold but Thorongil cast a sympathetic eye over his steel-clad troopers. They made a fine picture: armor glinting in the morning sun and banners unfurling in the breeze, horses stamping impatiently. With a salute to Ecthelion, who had come down to see them off, Thorongil led the troop, standards flying, out of Minas Tirith to the Harlond Road.
Very quickly, cold sapped any joy out of the ride. The afternoon wore on long and cold, and the first night's bivouac at the Ford of Erui was miserable. The night was so cold, Thorongil abandoned his tent for the warmth of the fire. He had made a shivering Quillion, wrapped in both of their blankets, as comfortable as possible before it, and sat up most of the night, huddled in his cloak and wearing two pairs of gloves, smoking. Fallon swore his feet were frozen and finally went off to the picket line where he made Hafur lie down, and slept leaning against the stallion's warm side. The hot-blooded Dagor rolled an accusatory eye at Thorongil in the freezing dawn and laid back his ears even at his master's soothing Elvish coaxing.
By late afternoon, Arnach was a welcomed sight. They trotted through the town to the inn. The large sandstone building's adjoining storehouses had been converted to barracks for the troopers. Thorongil made sure his men were warm and well fed before be went in for his own dinner. In the private dining room, he threw his gloves on the table and took off his cloak. He was cold to the bone and wondered how the Lady Finduilas fared riding in this frigid weather. Fallon was ready with a warm drink and Quillion had the fire blazing. The commander chose to have his dinner sitting before it, his feet propped on the raised hearth. Quillion seemed to have survived the cold; his only concession was apple-red cheeks. He chattered on through the meal, mouth full or empty, about what he had seen that day. Fallon ate little, obviously fed by an inner glow. Just as they were finishing a delicious, preserve-filled cobbler brought in by the innkeeper's proud wife, a messenger in Belfalas blue arrived saying the prince's party was at Minas Brethil and would reach the River Sirith by mid-morning tomorrow. Thorongil shook his head when he considered the distance to be covered in so few hours, but who was he to gainsay a prince?
The next morning in blackness, the troop was up and saddling their mounts. Even the troop farrier's iron arms wielding an ax could not break the ice on the troughs, so water had to be hauled from the relatively warm pump house for the horses. The troopers swung into their saddles as the eastern edge of the star-littered sky grew golden for a two hour, bitterly cold ride up the river to the Kelos Wood where they would meet the prince's party. Thorongil's men reined in there at mid-morning. The woodland was silent and deserted, except for branches creaking in the rising breeze. After standing for nearly an hour in the keen wind, Thorongil could almost hear the men's armor rattling from their shivers. Fallon finally had the horses walked to keep them warm. With no sign that the prince's party would appear soon, Thorongil ordered the men to collect windfall branches for fires.
An hour after noon, the commander's scout clattered across the bridge with the announcement that the Dol Amroth party was approaching. Thorongil ordered his troop to mount, and soon they were saluting smartly as the prince, flanked by his captain led the party, including several Swan Knights, down the woodland road. Finduilas cantered alongside her brother, wrapped in white furs. While Imrahil wheeled his horse before Thorongil, saluting the commander of the escort, she had eyes only for Fallon.
"I regret our delay, Commander." the dark-hair prince began, "Finduilas' ladies chose the baggage wagons instead of the frigid air this morning so we traveled at a slower pace." Several creaking, covered wains were already lumbering down the road.
"Shall we then to Harlond?" Thorongil suggested. Imrahil agreed and urged his grey up to the long-striding Dagor, who though tired still fought the snail's pace at which they traveled. Thorongil found the prince a pleasant companion. They spoke of the threat from the east and the unusually cold weather, defense works for both cities, and incursions from the sea. As the afternoon wore on, the pace seemed to slacken and the wind grew sharper. At one point, Thorongil noticed Quillion silently ambling beside them, his teeth chattering and his lips blue. The commander reined in and ordered Lieutenant Landaral to set the boy up before him on Dagor. He tugged his own cloak around him, and warmed by Thorongil, Quillion forgot all discretion and fell asleep.
"Your son?" Imrahil asked, amused at the dark-haired lad's ease with the stern officer.
"My squire." The prince's raised brows let Thorongil know Dol Amroth squires did not nest against their commanders on long rides, though the insightful prince recognized what the act said about the true nature of this grim soldier. However, the cold was not just affecting the young; the temperature drop numbed the hardiest among them, so the prince suggested they rest the night at Arnach and continue the half-day journey to the encampment the following morning.
In the yard of the inn, Thorongil set Quillion down. He ordered Fallon to see to the guests and busied himself with his troopers. While they untacked their mounts and divested themselves of the armor, he walked among them, making sure they and their horses were properly housed and fed. The men nodded after him. They were grateful to serve this commander who saw to their welfare before his own. The barracks were dry and warm; the food plentiful. The men owned the travel was cold but they agreed it was better to be herding the finery around than facing Harad arrows in Ithilien.
It was full dark when Thorongil finally entered the inn. The private dining room Fallon had bespoken for them the previous night glittered with Finduilas' ladies and the Swan Knights. Quillion was making himself useful serving drinks, but seeing his commander, he set down his tray. Wearily, Thorongil handed him his cloak and sword. The evening would probably prove long. Diplomatic escorts always took twice the time to get anywhere and the charges must be entertained at the end of each day. He pasted on a polite smile as Fallon came up with a warm cup and Finduilas in tow.
"Commander, I'm not sure you met Lady Finduilas earlier." Finduilas, truly a lady grown after seven years, her auburn curls caught up in a braid, politely extended her hand for his kiss, but when she looked up at him, recognition dawned in her violet eyes. Before he could take her hand and make his bow, she threw her arms around his neck, to the sputtering astonishment of Fallon. All his memories of the girl who had saved him half-drown from the hurricane came rushing back and Thorongil's deep laughter warmed the room.
"My lord pirate!" she exclaimed, stepping back but holding both his hands still. "Lord Thorongil! You look well and prosperous."
"My lady." He bowed low to her. "Have the seas presented any unusual finds of late?"
"None near as wondrous as you, Lord Thorongil," she teased coquettishly. Fallon stood beside the pair, his mouth agape, at a loss. For once, he had thought to steal a march on his commander and present the royal princess of Dol Amroth to him. But, Thorongil already seemed on intimate terms with the lady! Realization dawned on Fallon's face as the teasing words of their greeting struck him.
"You're the pirate?" he gasped astonished. "I might have known! Oh, I know the story well. When I asked her to give me her heart, she cruelly claimed it was already given to a pirate lord washed up on her shores!" Finduilas blushed scarlet.
"Fallon! I was jesting!" she protested. At that moment Imrahil entered the room. He had changed into a formal military jacket, its blue facings embroidered with the white swan ship. He was a handsome man, but unlike Finduilas in coloring, with his father's dark hair and grey eyes, standing near as tall as Thorongil. Finduilas caught his hand and led him to the commander.
"Brother, you did not say you had met my pirate!" Imrahil assessed Thorongil with a new eye and the commander felt his worth was being judged by the prince.
"I suspected it when I first heard your name," Imrahil admitted. "But Findulas' description of a suave pirate lord didn't fit your demeanor at all."
"Of that I am sure I'm grateful," Thorongil admitted. Imrahil laughed easily and inquired after his men, returning the conversation to the mundane.
With the prince's appearance, the party moved on to dinner. The conversation proved as warm and plentiful as the food. Finduilas' ladies were fascinated when they discovered Thorongil was her legendary pirate. The Gondorian was also handsome, pleasant, and well situated as a commander of the White City. Although his family was a mystery, his position made him quite eligible and they vied for his attention all evening, but the reserved officer maintained a polite distance. Finally, the last fluttered away disappointed, and Finduilas and the prince went wearily off to their beds.
As on the evening before, Thorongil and Fallon again shared chairs before the fire. Quillion was already napping on the hearthrug. Thorongil tossed a blanket over him.
"I suppose I shall have to carry him to his bed," Thorongil commented. Fallon raised a brow.
"That is his bed, unless you'd have it for your own."
"I'm sleeping here?" There was no amusement in the commander's voice.
"We are sleeping here. By time the ladies and the knights were all settled, there were no rooms left for us," said Fallon. Thorongil wearily dragged off his boots. Removing his coat, he pulled another blanket from the stack and wrapped himself in it.
"If I'd have known this excursion would take longer than a month, I would have brought more clean linen." Thorongil exaggerated. For many long minutes, the room was silent except for the cracking of the fire logs.
"Thorongil---" Fallon blurted out suddenly. The commander mumbled half-asleep. "What is Finduilas to you?" Fallon asked hesitantly. Thorongil heard the dread in his captain's voice.
"I made passionate love to her on the beaches of Dol Amroth," he said without opening his eyes. By Fallon's sharp uptake of breath, he knew his captain had not sensed the humor in the statement. He sat upright and looked directly at Fallon. "You truly do not know me well after the years we have served together." His eyes glowed like coals in the firelight. "She was a young girl. I was nearly dead. She treated me as her brother and I have never considered her as aught but a sister and I will always be beholden to her for saving me. I could refuse her little. Does that answer you?" he asked sternly. Fallon could only nod. "Now, I have a question for you, my captain. After all of our time together, I do know you well and I would not have her hurt. As I told you, I am indebted to her for my life, and would protect her as an older brother. You are a notorious rakehell---"
"Not with Finduilas!" Fallon interrupted. "You need not worry. I would never compromise her honor. I love her! I would bring her to Minas Tirith as my bride!" He was silent for a moment. "Does that reassure you?"
"Only in that I won't have to kill you soon, unless…" Thorongil added, wrapping himself in the blanket again and stretching out his legs to the fire. "…I find myself on another winter diplomatic escort of your making." He had slept in many worse places and soon drifted off.
"Isn't that charming!" The morning still was shattered by a loud feminine voice. "They sat up all night guarding us! How gallant!" Thorongil peered into the pale morning light at Finduilas' brassiest lady trailed by a bevy of others. He rose, begged their pardon, and left the more gallant Fallon to his fate. Thorongil sought a private place to wash, shave, and make himself presentable.
"I hate diplomatic escorts!" Thorongil groused to the mirror. Quillion, at the ready with shaving kit and towel, grinned.
After a prolonged breakfast, a long wait standing in the courtyard while the ladies made ready, and a cold and painfully slow two-day ride to Minas Tirith with the freshening wind from the north smelling more of snow by the hour, Thorongil gladly relinquished his charges to Ecthelion and Denethor at the Citadel guesthouse. Amid the first swirl of flakes, he dismounted at his own house, sent the horses to off with Sedeth, his groom, and guided a tottering, exhausted Quillion inside. He sent his squire to his room, and then collapsed on his own bed, only taking time to remove his coat and boots.

Moore is such a tight-knit community and it really helped me grow as an artist and individual. I decided to come to Moore my senior year of high school. I always knew I wanted to be a teacher and I loved art so I thought why not do both. Moore has offered me an education that I could not get anywhere else. The teachers here really care about putting the student first and want to help you as much as possible.
Moore has offered me so many experiences that I did not believe I would ever have the chance to do. I studied abroad this past summer in the Rome program and I was amazed at the time I had. It was one of the best decisions I have ever made. Another experience was becoming a Resident Assistant. It led me to some of the best relationships and has helped me grow as an individual. I believe because we are such a small school we have better relationships with the other women who attend this college. I like the fact that I can walk down the hall and feel as though I fit in and can talk to or ask questions of my peers.
I believe the impact of going to an all women's college is that we understand each other more. In class there is always someone you can relate to as well as a peer you can grow from. The Art Education program at Moore is difficult, but totally worth it. I feel that it is really shaping the students for a bright future. I know at the end of four years I will be ready to go into a new classroom and be a great teacher.
The Art Methods and Curriculum class with Deb Deery has really helped me grow into the teacher I want to be. Photo 1 and Projects in Clay really helped me discover what kind of art I want to make.

looking for team to bandwagon, pls help
And dont be too harsh with Monty. He knows EXACTLY what is going on. He doesn't want to throw his player under the bus.
He is a better man than me, because I would have thrown him under the bus, driven the bus myself, then performed the Bus driver Tiger Uppercut on him if he tried to get on without paying
"I've checked with Doc," Williams said, "but for him to explain to me what's going on with his body and then have Eric feel a certain way doesn't matter. You know what I'm saying? If Doc says one thing and the guy is feeling another, then you have to . . . what am I supposed to say?
It sounds exactly like Monty is saying, the doc says it's fine and Eric says it hurts him. Not visa versa.
He doesn't "really" want to play here. By his body language and overall demeanor he just like it's whatever to him till he goes some where else. Well that or he is made out of styrofoam lol
R.I.P. to HunnyB/FlyGirl

People's Basketball Sim League presents...
1995-96 Season

Key Reserves: Dikembe Mutombo | Todd Day
Just got some footage from a local gas station.
Sounds to me like team doctors are saying Gordon can play, and Gordon is saying he's in too much pain to play. And Monty is trying to convince himself that "it's got to be medical."Originally Posted by Monty Williams
Is Phoenix still interested? Dragic, picks, and expirings for Gordon?
As far as knowing how a person is feeling, no one truly knows. I went to a dentist once and she was hurting me. I told her i felt pain and she insisted it was pressure I felt. I got the hell up and left.
I think if Gordon isn't truly hurting, he should play games, showcasing himself, then get into the office with Dell, Monty, Mickey and whomever else and let them know that he'd prefer if they found another home for him. They can get working on finding the best deal for us.
I for one am shocked, SHOCKED, by this turn of events.

The esqueleto package
This is a preview release.
persistent is a library for type-safe data serialization. It has many kinds of backends, such as SQL backends (persistent-mysql, persistent-postgresql, persistent-sqlite) and NoSQL backends (persistent-mongoDB).
While persistent is a nice library for storing and retrieving records, currently it has a poor interface for SQL backends compared to SQL itself. For example, it's extremely hard to do a type-safe JOIN on a many-to-one relation, and simply impossible to do any other kinds of JOINs (including for the very common many-to-many relations). Users have the option of writing raw SQL, but that's error prone and not type-checked.
esqueleto is a bare bones, type-safe EDSL for SQL queries that works with unmodified persistent SQL backends. Its language closely resembles SQL, so (a) you don't have to learn new concepts, just new syntax, and (b) it's fairly easy to predict the generated SQL and optimize it for your backend. Most kinds of errors committed when writing SQL are caught as compile-time errors---although it is possible to write type-checked esqueleto queries that fail at runtime.
Currently only SELECTs are supported. Not all SQL features are available, but most of them can be easily added (especially functions), so please open an issue or send a pull request if you need anything that is not covered by esqueleto on https://github.com/meteficha/esqueleto/.
The name of this library means "skeleton" in Portuguese and contains all three SQL letters in the correct order =). It was inspired by Scala's Squeryl but created from scratch.

Wise Mans Fear March 1st [SPOILERS!!]
March 1st Wise Mans Fear comes out. He is also doing a book signing tour starting march 1st. Here are the dates at his blog.
I'm so stoked for this book.
January 12th, 2011, 04:47 PM #2
I do not do book signings never have. Never cared about that kind of crap but I am almost tempted to go to one of the signings. Rothfuss is the literary equivalent of the band Tool for me.
January 12th, 2011, 05:50 PM #3
Lots of discussion on this one here:
Excerpt from Patrick Rothfuss' The Wise Man's Fear.
I've got a copy of it myself.
January 12th, 2011, 05:53 PM #4
For those who enjoyed The Name of the Wind, you can go ahead and pre-order The Wise Man's Fear. It's everything its predecessor was, and then some!
If you weren't thrilled by Rothfuss' debut, then you need not bother with volume 2. Style-wise and plot-lise, there is likely nothing that can win over readers who were not that impressed with TNotW.
In terms of style and tone, both novels are pretty similar. So I doubt that The Wise Man's Fear can satisfy readers that weren't enchanted by the first one. But for fans of the author, it should definitely scratch that itch!

Review written and done for Shadowheart, will be posting soonish.

I am reading so many books right now, but I want to re-read TNOTW. I think I will download from audible... I've got a 45 minute commute twice a day, should be a good way to refresh myself to that world.

iCloud Action In Apple Store In Hong Kong,Greenpeace activists play off the theme of Apple's "genius bar" by setting up their own "Supergenius bars" near a store in Central, where they gave customers advice on how to ask Apple for a cleaner cloud. Part of Greenpeace's international Clean Our Cloud campaign is calling on industry laggards Apple, Microsoft, and Amazon to join the growing number of tech companies who are taking steps to power their electronic data centers substantially with renewable energy. 05/05/2012

Rated 5 out of 5Â by Ashblackwell These bottoms have perfect coverage! I'm happy with these bottoms- very comfortable. I definitely recommend this product! May 2, 2014
Rated 5 out of 5Â by cindy8 great fit This basic bottom has great coverage . Perfect fit and classic style. January 27, 2014
Rated 4 out of 5Â by hokietonya just a tad too small I am 5'5", 118 pounds. I usually wear a 4 or 6 in pants, shorts or jeans. I ordered a S based on the size chart for Tommy Bahama (normally in a department store I would probably try the medium first). It fit but was a tad small in covering my bottom. I don't know if it was due to the cut, but I think the M would have been better. June 28, 2013
Rated 5 out of 5Â by tlf65 Best fit ever! Each year, I search high and low for 1) a place that sells swimwear as separates, 2) a places that sells a top to fit my small rib cage and ample "you know", and 3) sells extra-small bottoms. After trying on 24 suits that a sales associates assured me would work for my frame, I was almost in tears. Then I found Pearl. Pearl is an underwire halter bikini top with a tie at the neck and the back AND the bottoms come in extra small! I bought a nice periwinkle blue. After one long weekend lounging by the pool, I loved it so much I just had to buy a couple more. Red and black. I'm storing two of them for future use. When it's this difficult to find a perfect fit, it's worth the extra cash to store one or two. The truly great thing about Pearl is it will work for just about any body type. The bottoms come in seversl different styles and the top is extremely flexible for different body types. I can't say enough good things about this suit. August 21, 2012

The Beach Boys Raid The Vault For 'Made In California' Box Set
Friday, June 14, 2013
The Beach Boys are gonna make a lot of fans happy with the August 27th release of Made In California, the band's latest box set -- and the followup to the Grammy Award-winning 2011 box set, The Smile Sessions. The new career-spanning collection features over 60 previously unreleased songs, home demos, alternate mixes, and live recordings, and is presented in a "yearbook-inspired" hardbound book. The project was compiled and produced by the Beach Boys' archival team, producers Mark Linett and Alan Boyd, with the help of label exec Dennis Wolfe -- all three of which shared the Smile Sessions Grammy win with Brian Wilson earlier this year.
Beach Boys co-founder Mike Love personally had a hand in compiling Made In California and said of the new collection, "This box set captures the evolution of a dream which started with a family singing Everly Brothers songs around a piano, to creating the harmonies that fans would carry in their hearts for a lifetime. Seeing these photos and rediscovering some of this music, I'm reminded of the immense love I feel for Brian, Dennis, (and) Carl (Wilson), Bruce (Johnston), Al (Jardine), and David (Marks). I'm still floored that our stories continue to inspire new generations to catch a wave and ride it is long as it lasts."
Made In California features plenty of the Beach Boys' legendary hits, but its main draw is the release of numerous previously unreleased gems -- many of which have never been bootlegged before and only rumored about existing for decades. Highlights include the previously unreleased Dennis Wilson tracks "(Wouldn't It Be Nice To) Live Again," "Mona Kani," "Barnyard Blues," and "My Love Lives On," the band's original 1963 version of "Back Home," Brian Wilson's 1974 home demo of "California Feelin'," his one-man-band 1976 rendition of "You've Lost That Lovin' Feeling," "Sherry, She Needs Me" -- utilizing the 1965 track and 1976 vocals, 1979 outtakes featuring Carl Wilson's take on "Da Doo Ron Ron" and Mike Love's recently completed "Goin' To The Beach." Also making their first appearance on an official release are the two unfinished Beach Boys 1995 reunion tracks with Brian Wilson -- "Soul Searchin'" and "You're Still A Mystery." Previously unreleased live highlights include "Runaway" (1965), "Friends" and "Little Bird" (1968), "Wild Honey" -- featuring Blondie Chaplin on lead vocals (1972), "It's About Time" (1973)," "I Can Hear Music" (1975), "Wonderful" and "Vegetables" (1993), and a poignant 1995 performance of "Sail On Sailor by Carl Wilson shortly before his death. The collection also features numerous alternate mixes, BBC performances, and acapella mixes.
Beach Boys co-founder Al Jardine told us that ultimately, the group's biggest hits serve a bigger purpose than just entertaining fans: "Each song, or each track selection is a special little messenger. And they convey a certain optimism, I think. And collectively, they're extremely powerful and it reminds of a better time -- a more positive time of growing up and experiencing things as a culture."
Producer Alan Boyd says that his and Linett's primary public duties for the Beach Boys are locating the masters to the band's earlier work, and remixing them into modern stereo mixes for the band's numerous career-spanning compilations. On the new box set, for the first time, Linett and Boyd were able to utilize the master tape elements needed to produce the first official stereo mixes of 1967's "Country Air" the Beach Boys' 1968 Top 20 hit, "Do It Again": "The fans and the public at large really seem to like these new stereo mixes, and that was really apparent when Mark did Pet Sounds in 1997. And the reaction to that is so strong that he started looking at other albums and other tracks, so every time we have the opportunity -- we did a lot of this on the Hawthorne record -- we've been going back and doing that, 'cause there's so much pressure brought to bear, y'know, in the market, for things to be in stereo."

Summer of Freedom
Fifty years ago today began a significant event in the Civil Rights Movement.
On this day in 1961, black and white students joined James Farmer, head of the Congress of Racial Equality (CORE), to conduct "freedom rides" on public transportation from Washington, DC across the South to New Orleans. Federal law prohibited segregation in interstate travel but localities throughout the South ignored the law, separating the races on buses and in depots at water fountains, restrooms, and waiting rooms. Farmer's objective with the freedom rides was to force the Kennedy administration to enforce the law and desegregate bus depots. A disciple of Gandhi and nonviolence, Farmer trained the riders to take abuse.
On their first stop, in Fredericksburg, they found the segregation signs had been taken down. Further South, the climate was fiercely resistant.
In several places riders were brutally beaten by local people and policemen. On May 14, members of the KKK attacked Freedom Riders in Birmingham, Alabama while local police watched. In Mississippi, Freedom Riders were jailed. They never made it to New Orleans.
Farmer later became a professor at Mary Washington College in Fredericksburg and, in 1998, President Clinton presented him with the Medal of Freedom.
Freedom Riders by Ann Bausum focuses on the story of two participants in the Summer of Freedom, John Lewis and Jim Zwerg. Lewis, son of a black Alabama sharecropper, was a seminary student in Nashville and leader of the student nonviolence movement. In contrast, Zwerg, a student at Beloit College, came from a privileged background as son of a white Wisconsin dentist. Different though they were, Lewis and Zwerg shared in common a commitment to civil rights for all citizens and were willing to risk their lives for their beliefs. This is a dramatic story that will keep readers on the edge of their seats as they race to learn the outcome of this terrible time.
Walking with the Wind: a memoir of the movement is John Lewis's own account of his life, from his dirt poor boyhood to election to the U. S. House of Representatives from Georgia. Part III retells the events of the Freedom Ride.
Spies of Mississippi: the true story of the spy network that tried to destroy the Civil Rights Movement by Rick Bowers unearths the lengths to which powerful politicians determined to preserve the segregationist status quo would go. The Mississippi State Sovereignty Commission, established in 1956 to ensure states' rights, spied on private citizens, maintained secret files, arrested civil rights advocates, sent money to white power groups, forced black-owned businesses to close, interfered with voter registration, and was linked to the assassination of Medgar Evers and the murder of three Freedom Summer volunteers. This is a chilling account of a dark time in our history. It will open eyes of young people born after this time, and serve as a vivid reminder of the tension, hostility, and fear of those days to people who are old enough to recall them.

Korean ground control apparently never sent satellite a critical startup signal that is needed to power up the electronics
CNN — There were preliminary signs on Wednesday that North Korea may not be in total control of a satellite less than 24 hours after it was blasted into orbit, a U.S. official told CNN.
"There are some initial indications they might not have full control," the official said of the device that was the payload for North Korea's first successful long-range rocket launch.
The official, who has access to the latest U.S. assessment, declined to be identified by name due to the sensitive nature of the information.
The satellite, described by one U.S. defense official as a rudimentary communications satellite with limited capability, is on a Polar orbit, meaning it is moving between the North and South poles.
Since there are issues about control, the United States is not certain the satellite is in a fully stable orbit.
"We don't know. We are still trying to figure that out," the U.S. official said.
However, he also cautioned the satellite could stay in its relatively low altitude orbit for months before either burning up or falling back to Earth.
Defense Secretary Leon Panetta alluded to the problem in an interview Wednesday that was to air on CNN's 'Erin Burnett OutFront."
"I think we still have to assess exactly what happened here," Panetta told Burnett in the interview.
Panetta said part of that scrutiny was to look at the final stage that launched the satellite into orbit "to determine whether or not that did work effectively or whether it tumbled into space."
The official cautioned that the North Koreans could resolve whatever technical issues they may be facing. While not necessarily fully handling the satellite, it is not thought to be spinning uncontrollably.
In a key indicator of a potential problem, there was no indication that North Korea's ground control had sent a crucial radio signal to the satellite, the official explained.
That type of signal is expected almost immediately as it is used to order the satellite to deploy solar panels that power its electronics.

GoGo Racer
UPDATE: This game has been shutdown and is no longer available
GoGo Racer is a new 3D cartoony kart racing MMO by Gamers First that closely resembles Nintendo's Mario Kart. Race through the game's twelve distinct stages while throwing items at your opponents to try and slow them down. Unlike other cartoony racing games, GoGo Racer has a large selection of items available in its shop, so the game certainly has a lot of playability.

This game has been SHUT DOWN – It is NO LONGER available. This means the official servers are offline and no one can create new accounts or log in to the game. For all intents and purposes this game is dead. This page will be updated if the game ever re-launches.
GoGo Racer Overview
GoGo Racer is Gamers First's foray into the online kart racing genre. GOA has Kart' N Krazy, Nexon has Kart Rider, and Alaplaya has Racing Star: Come On Baby. It seems like the cartoony racing genre has really caught fire, as more and more publishers are releasing similar titles. GoGo Racer is a casual, fast-paced racing game that draws a lot of its inspiraton from Nintendo's Mario Kart. Actually, all kart racing MMOs draw their inspiration from Mario Kart, which unfortunately makes them all a bit too similar. Unfortunately, GoGo Racer, although fun, doesn't really bring anything new to the table, even though its one of the newest kart racing MMOs. It's still a fun game, though, so if you're looking for a new game to play, GoGo Racer is certainly worth checking out.

GoGo Racer Review
By Omer Altay
GoGo Racer is the newest Kart Racing MMO on the block. It seems like 'Cartoony' racing games are starting to become more and more popular. I remember Nexon basically pioneered the MMO Kart Racing genre with the open beta of Kart Rider back in October 2007. The game's open beta service has since ended, but the game has yet to be released. Nexon's short term success with Kart Rider led to the release of many similar kart racing games, like GOA's Kart n Krazy and Alaplaya's Racing Star: Come on Baby. Every single one of these Kart Racing MMOs drew their inspiration from Nintendo's Mario Kart, so it shouldn't be too surprising to hear that they're all very similar. GoGo Racer, although similar to its competitors, is still a fun MMO that's worth checking out for fans of the genre.
First Impressions
I went into GoGo Racer without knowing what to expect, as I've already had a chance to play Nexon's Kart Rider, which is without a doubt the most popular game in the genre. Although Kart Rider isn't released yet in North America, I just can't imagine a new game like GoGo Racer to beat Nexon's title. When I first logged into the game, I was required to play through the game's five or so 'tutorial' quests. These quests were designed to introduce newbies to the game by teaching them the basics of the game while rewarding them with experience points. The tutorial quests are actually all incredibly short. I finished all of them in a few minutes, so it shouldn't take too long to for players to be able to get through them and into the actual multiplayer races.
Gameplay in GoGo Racer mostly plays a lot like the other kart racing MMOs out there. Players lob items and drift while racing. Like Kart Rider and Drift City, players fill their boost gauge as they perform drifts. One unique aspect of GoGo Racer's gameplay that I really liked was the game's 'jump boosts'. Players that let go of the acceleration key while in the air immediately before they land receive a small boost. This may not seem like much, but this small feature alone adds a lot of enjoyment to the game, as it adds a layer of skill to a game that is largely luck-based. One small complaint I had with GoGo Racer was that simply moving around felt a bit awkward and glitchy. It just doesn't have the same fluidity that other racing MMOs like Drift City and Project Torque have.
Too Similar
Perhaps the most generic aspect of GoGo Racer is its core gameplay. It just feels way too much like Kart n Krazy and Kart Rider, but with less features. Heck, GoGo Racer currently only has one game mode and mostly dull maps. I'm not sure what Gamers First was thinking when they decided to launch GoGo Racer. It's not like all the other racing MMOs out there are so overpopulated that players are looking for a new place to go. It's actually quite the opposite – both Racing Star: Come on Baby and Kart n Krazy have a fairly low playerbase. The kart racing MMO market is already too saturated, so I'm still not sure what the publisher was thinking when they launched GoGo Racer.
Last Lap Syndrome
Unfortunately, like most racing MMOs that have items, GoGo Racer suffers from 'Last Lap Syndrome'. This simply means that since items are so incredibly powerful, the only lap that really matters is the last one. One player could easily be leading for a good 90% of the race, but a timely rocket can quickly turn the tides. This isn't exactly a drawback to the game, though, as a lot of players prefer chaotic, item-based racing games. The powerful items sort of level out the playing field, as even first timers can defeat 'pros', which is one of the genre's appeals.
Okay, Seriously, Nuff' Negativity
So far, a good majority of this review has been largely critical of GoGo Racer, so it's only fair if I dedicate some space to the game's positive aspects. Perhaps the single best aspect of GoGo Racer is its varied item shop. Players can customize their own vehicles with new parts and designs or purchase new vehicles entirely. The item store also has a large selection of aesthetics for sale like shirts, pants, hats and other accessories. Far too many MMOs neglect their item stores, which in and of itself can ruin an otherwise good game. GoGo Racer also has a large selection of maps and a single player 'time attack' mode that's actually quite fun. The game's experience rate is also fair-paced, so levels never feel out of reach. Another interesting aspect of the game is that at the end of every race, players can select one of three 'cards', which yield a random reward. It's an interesting way of keeping players coming back for more and it works, as playing the game feels rewarding. A lot of the game's more advanced features, like additional quests and game modes, are still under development though.
Final Verdict – Fair
GoGo Racer has solid game mechanics and some interesting gameplay, but unfortunately it's just too similar to the other Kart racing MMOs out there. It does have some unique aspects, and is worth playing until Kart Rider is released in North America.
