We are Italian-Americans and Italian citizens living in the Italian region where all four of my grand-parents were born and raised. My husband's family is from Nicastro (Lamezia Terme), which we visit often and know well. While my husband's family's sur name does appear in Spanish translation in the list provided, no one from his very large extended family either in Nicastro or in the USA maintains any of the Jewish traditions mentioned in the film. To the contrary, many are devoutly Catholic even working regularly in the Sacristy and volunteering their time during town festivals which are based around the church calendar, of course.
The video also interviews Italian Rabbis Di Porto and Hazan in Italy, who interestingly enough, have never felt the need to visit Nicastro in order to remind the residents that they should start remembering that 500 years ago they may have been Jewish. The fact that Rabbi Barbara Aiello does feel such a need is most likely because she's an American who simply can't keep her own opinions, lifestyle, beliefs out of other people's business -- or religion. Actually, I'm surprised she didn't join the US military instead of becoming a Rabbi.

Andrew Bansal of Mettal Assault has posted the following concert review. "For the past few decades, heavy metal and symphony have crossed each other's paths as several metal bands and musicians have incorporated symphonic elements in their compositions, some even employing the usage of full orchestras to record and perform live. But the much-anticipated 'Symphony Interrupted' event at the Copley Hall in San Diego promised to be unique and first of its kind, with classical music at the forefront and a heavy metal icon attempting to lend his touch to it." Read the review at metalassault.com.

Firstly, Ubuntu covers about a third of desktop Linux installations. That means that majority of desktop Linux users use something other than Ubuntu. Even on Steam, Ubuntu doesn't have the majority of users. Ubuntu may have the biggest single market share of any distro, when talking about home users desktop installations, but that means nothing.
Meanwhile, Nvidia/AMD don't really care about Steam or any of that, not at this point anyway. Maybe in the future when the market grows, with steamboxes and other Linux consoles coming to market, but right now? The real Linux money for GPU makers is in render farms and workstations. That means mostly RHEL, Suse, and the like. Not Ubuntu. RHEL will use Wayland, so when the render farms move over to Wayland, at that point, Nvidia & AMD at the very least are going to offer drivers for them. They'll have to, there's just no question about it.
Secondly, there's not going to be any "Mir drivers". There will only be EGL drivers, which can be used by both Mir and Wayland. Mir is not going to ever be used by anyone other than Canonical, because no other desktop environment is willing to adapt it, they're all going to Wayland instead. There are very good reasons for this, you could ask the KDE devs, such as Martin Gräßlin about them, or you could ask the GNOME devs, read their blogs or whatever. But it boils down to the fact that Canonical is developing Mir for the needs of Unity only. They are not thinking about other distros or desktops. They're not creating a stable protocol, they're not enabling others to reimplement Mir for themselves, they control the development and do it all in-house, without collaborating with others. This all is contrary to what Wayland does: Wayland provides a way for everyone to implement their own compositors, while providing a stable protocol, compatibility, and a development model that caters to the needs of every distro and desktop environment.
Thirdly, even in the extremely unlikely situation that the GPU makers would only offer "Mir drivers" (which, again, will not happen), but even if it did... it wouldn't matter, because Wayland supports multiple backends and runs on pretty much anything, all you have to do is implement the backend. It can already run on EGL, Android drivers, or plain CPU rendering (Pixman). It would be pretty much trivial to write a Wayland backend to allow it to run on those "Mir drivers" (which, again, will not happen).
Fourthly, Mir is a totally useless waste of resources. There's nothing it offers that Wayland doesn't. There are no technical reasons for its existence whatsoever. The only reason it exists is because Canonical wants to separate Ubuntu from other Linux systems. That's pretty much shooting themselves in the foot, as an OS that is 99% dependent on community-written code, meaning that if the community suffers, Ubuntu suffers also.
Nvidia has flat-out stated that they only care about Linux workstations, and that the only reason they release Linux desktop drivers because it doesn't take any additional work for them to do so. I trust their opinion on their own business much more than I trust you.
"The biggest reason that the professional graphics market is of great importance to NVIDIA and AMD isnt just that its another market for them to sell products in, but because its not just another market. As we alluded to in our introduction, going by the volume of products shipped the professional graphics market is tiny. Even looking at revenue its far smaller than the consumer market. But what revenue hints at and what financial statements prove is that its profitable. Extremely profitable."
Wait, you are relying on web hit statistics to measure the workstation market? Do you even know what a workstation is?EDIT2: More numbers: http://www.softpanorama.org/Articles...stations.shtml Funny enough, Ubuntu also reigns in the workstation market (three times as much as Fedora+Suse together...). Time to revise some myths?
And again, the article actually makes the exact opposite point you are claiming: "Usually only Red Hat and/or Suse are certified for the usage in large corporate environment (lately Ubuntu joined them in some corporations)."
In fact, Ubuntu has been intentionally snubbing workstations, cutting out things like GIMP explicitly because they are important for workstations but not for consumer desktops.
BTW, I don't know if it was you or someone else who said drivers don't deal with Mir or Wayland directly. If that's the case and drivers will target both display managers at the same time no matter what, who the hell cares? If this is not true and Nvidia/AMD have to make a decision, I'm positive they'll support what becomes more popular IN THE REAL WORLD, not in linux-geeks-land. That's Mir, obviously.

Black Prophecy
UPDATE: This game has been shutdown and is no longer available
Black Prophecy Overview
Black Prophecy is a feature rich space based MMORPG that's been in development for quite some time. During development, it was uncertain what payment model the game would adopt. Fortunately, it has recently been announced that the German publisher Gamigo has picked up the game as a free to play title. Black Prophecy will draw many similarities to the subscription based Eve Online, but the two games are very different. While players can't leave their ships in either game, Black Prophecy promises much more action oriented gameplay and a much lower learning curve. With a standard level based advancement system, player will fight NPCs and complete missions to gain experience and gain access to more powerful ships & weapons.
Black Prophecy boasts a detailed backstory. An award-winning Sci-Fi author named Michael Marrack has been tasked with creating the rich universe in which the game takes place. PvP is also slated to play a large role in the game. Player run clans will be able to construct space stations and fight for control of resource generating stations. Ships design in Black Prophecy is heavily modular. Players will be able to mix and match various cockpits, wings, engines, and so on of all shapes and sizes.

Black Prophecy Review
For many years, space combat shooters remained in the realm of retail PC games, meant for single players with top-notch systems. In the last few years, though, as MMO developers have sought new niches beyond fantasy, flight has become a renewed interest. Enter, then, Black Prophecy in 2011 – a game developed by Reakktor and published by gamigo, which promised an in-depth storyline and beautiful space combat. As a free-to-play MMO, Black Prophecy may be ready to shake up and redefine expectations of the free-to-play experience.
It Begins – Epicly
Character creation in Black Prophecy has the same level of detail found in pay-to-play MMOs. Players will first select their gender, and then proceed to choose their ethnology (a blend of African, Asian, and Caucasian features), age, weight, and gravity. The expanded character creation breaks seven subareas of the face down into several sliding selections; for instance the bridge length of the nose or length of the earlobe. If all of this is too much, presets are available and players can simply tweak a few additional selections to their fancy.
After launching from character creation, players are entered into a long tutorial (well over a half-hour to complete). This tutorial seems taken right out of the AAA game book. It begins to expose the story of the game through a blend of movies and action sequences that begin to teach the gamer how to target, aim, shoot, watch weapon heat levels, fly, and navigate – all while the war that sets the backdrop for the game's story breaks loose. In short: the tutorial focuses on making the player the rookie hero, and does a stellar job at it.
A Hero Still Gets Missions
After you're done showing off your rookie skills to your Commander, you're finally in charge of your own play experience. Black Prophecy is a combination of PvE and PvP experiences, but PvE is the star player here and for a while, you won't be able to battle other players. The game will introduce you naturally, as part of an extended tutorial, to your first missions, which will slowly introduce you to more advanced aspects of the game.
Missions can come from several areas. The first and foremost place is NPCs, which can be found by hailing ships and space stations (like the SPIRE, where you begin). These are your story-based missions, which will lead you through the main story of the game and offer substantial rewards meant to help gear your ship up. Missions are also available through the mission terminal inside space stations. These missions are random, level-based missions which are usually short and quick, and they come in both PvE and PvP variety, offering good filler in between story missions. Either way, missions will be the staple of your experience and income in Black Prophecy.
Do A Barrel Roll!
Taking controls of your ship in Black Prophecy is easier than it looks, but still has the charm of a complex space shooter. By default, your ship's acceleration and movement is controlled by WASD, plus Q and E for barrel rolls. Aiming and shooting, on the other hand, is controlled by the mouse. The game also features a "mouse control" option: by hitting space, you stop navigating and can use the mouse cursor freely on the screen to target and access menus. Navigation is generally automated by selecting a sector and then being piloted between zones. The general system is very Descent-like, letting players spin and shoot in all dimensions.
Dog Fighting in the Stars
Missions each take place in sectors, small zones that have multiple enemies and objectives placed in them. Many objectives are automatically highlighted, but you'll have to keep an eye on your manual targeting to be aware when enemy ships are close by. Once you gain within a certain distance of enemy ships, they will break off to engage you – you'll generally know because you'll hear their voices overhead on the radio.
Most ship combat pits you against several ships at once. Because the game's flight is three-dimensional, it'll take thinking and careful navigation to fight your enemies. Spinning, barrel rolling, accelerating and coming to a stop to track your targets is all key here, and a solo fighter may sometimes have a little trouble getting a ship in their sights when they're close. Combat, however, is also tactical. Each of your guns has a heat meter which needs to be watched if you don't want to become vulnerable. You can also dodge missiles and incoming attacks, which means that movement, weapon and shield selection all play a key role in battle.
She's a Beauty
Taking care of your ship means more than just gaining experience and repairing her with drones; it also means taking care of the ship's modular parts system. Ships level up with their pilots, but don't gain in power without new parts. These parts can be earned through missions, found as loot, bought, or crafted. There are plenty of parts with different benefits and drawbacks, and each also has a level. These levels indicate the power of the part, and also whether the ship can use it.
Crafting is also available in the game, and is where the most powerful parts are made. Crafting is done at stations, and require blueprints to create or upgrade items. Crafting can fail, causing all resources to be destroyed, or even critically succeed, creating a better item. Players hoping to craft for profit, however, will find some difficulty as the game lacks an auction house – requiring players to meet ship- to-ship to trade.
A Pilot's Work
Like other MMOs, your character gains experience in the form of levels. Upon gaining a level, pilots can spend points in two different areas. The first area, called "Skills," represent your ship's power. There is an overarching skill that determines your ship's overall level, and then several subskills, determining the power of various parts of your ship (as well as what parts can be equipped there, and what skills they can gain). These subskills can only be leveled up to your ship's level, so balance is required.
The second set of points to spend are called tactics. These are special skills, active and passive, which allow you to maneuver your ship better through advanced flight maneuvers like loops, u-turns, and zigzags. These flight maneuvers are activated through key combinations, for instance left-left, and improve your survivability and offensive skills in combat.
Two Factions Battle For Dominance
The game isn't all about PvE though. Once you leave the SPIRE, you'll be able to pick one of two factions: Tyi or Genides. From here on out, you're vulnerable to PvP in open sectors from the other faction. You can also join PvP missions, which let teams battle it out inside special sectors for special PvP rewards. Dying, on the other hand, only comes with a temporary penalty.
Final Verdict: Great
There's little negative to say about Black Prophecy. The game's graphics, while taxing on a system and occasionally causing some lag issues, are generally stellar and immersive. Controls are easy to use, and combat requires some thought, while missions generally keep the game going at an even pace. The story, written by Michael Marrak, is surprisingly in-depth for a free-to-play MMO: in short, the game delivers.
Still, there is room for improvement. The crafting system can sometimes be frustrating and unrewarding, and missions begin to peter out in scale, frequency, and grandeur. PvP, too, seems to have room to offer more modes or options for rewards. Black Prophecy does not forget that it is still an MMO, and you'll still be treated to a grind, even if that grind is visually impressive and takes place in space. For these small flaws, however, Black Prophecy has started off with impressive quality. If you love space combat – and your system can handle the pressure – Black Prophecy is a rewarding download.

NASCAR Daytona testing: Adapting to 2013 car, new rules critical during three-day session
NASCAR Daytona testing: Adapting to 2013 car, new rules critical during three-day session
The Daytona 500 is still more than a month away, but NASCAR Sprint Cup teams will begin testing for their biggest race on Thursday. So what's the rush?
The rush is that by this time, teams typically have a good feel for the car they will race.
Not this time. They have a new car that's never been tested at Daytona, so the three-day "Preseason Thunder" test at Daytona International Speedway has added importance.
Drivers will do single-car runs during the morning sessions and be allowed to draft during the afternoon. They will try to learn everything they can about the new 2013 car. Only a handful of drivers tested the cars at Talladega in October so many will be getting a feel for the car.
Here are seven questions that need to be answered this week.
Use arrow keys to navigate
of 7
Does the new car resonate with fans?
NASCAR is banking on the 2013 car to generate enthusiasm for three reasons:
1. How it looks.
2. How it races.
3. How it looks.
NASCAR is banking on the new 2013 cars to generate enthusiasm for how they look and how they race. NASCAR has landed on a look for each manufacturer while its rules to create parity are still a work in progress. But in this case, how it looks might be more important, at least at first, than how it races.
Preseason Thunder typically attracts a few thousand fans that pay $20 to get into the infield fanzone, where they can stand atop the garages, peer inside the glass windows and participate in autograph and driver question-and-answer sessions after practice.
These fans need to like what they see in the new cars. For the first time since 2007, the Chevrolets look like Chevrolets. The Fords look like Fords. The Toyotas look like Toyotas.
Part of it is cosmetic — good decaling — but NASCAR and the manufacturers worked hard for aerodynamic parity with distinct body characteristics. What they got are car bodies that are completely different with the exception of the decklids.
While many of the cars will still have primer on them and not be painted with sponsor colors and logos, this will be the biggest event for fans to get their first look at the cars.
Manufacturers play a critical role in the health of the sport and Dodge bowing out after winning the Cup title last year shows that the sport must do everything it can to keep the other three committed to racing.
And with attendance and television numbers dipping, NASCAR needed something to energize the fans.
of 7
Will there be more wrecks?
One of the best tests NASCAR has had with the new car was the Talladega test last October.
NASCAR used restrictor plates with holes 29/32nds of an inch in diameter and spoilers that were 4 inches tall and 53 inches wide. And those will be the parameters for Daytona, or at least where the teams will start this week.
The restrictor plates are the same as last year's Daytona 500 but the spoiler is a half-inch taller but nine inches narrower to take into account how the air moves around in the cars.
The grille opening was decreased from 50 square inches to 40.25 square inches, making it more difficult to get air to cool the engine fluids. To compensate, the engines will spew water at about 20 degrees warmer because the radiator valve will pop off at 32psi, compared with 28psi last year. That should keep cars from overheating in the draft as easily as they did last year. The spoilers will be set at 70 degrees, the same as before.
All of this is designed to eliminate the two-car draft. But will it? What does it mean?
In some ways fans won't know until the Daytona 500. But the test should provide hints of whether drivers will run in a huge pack and whether there is the likelihood of a 25-car crash like at the end of Talladega race last October.
There likely will be a wreck early in the Daytona 500.
As drivers will learn this week, the front and rear bumpers don't line up as well — they are more rounded instead of square — making it easier to spin the car in front of a two-car draft.
This instability will be good and bad. It means fewer two-car drafts. But the risks are greater. Drivers will have to learn the sweet spots — without spinning — this week.
of 7
Will Danica feel comfortable in the draft?
This is Danica Patrick's first full season in Cup racing and while it's not her first time in a Cup car at Daytona, it's important for her to get a good feel right from the start.
Last year was a bit of a disappointment as she finished 10th in the Nationwide standings.
It was the first time a female driver finished in the top 10 in a NASCAR series but it was still below expectations of a top-five finish.
The 30-year-old Patrick, a former IndyCar star, needs a confidence boost and if she struggles at Daytona, one of the few tracks where she actually appeared comfortable in a Nationwide car, it could a long year.
of 7
Will drivers feel comfortable with new crews?
This will be the first Daytona test for many of the new driver-crew chief combinations.
Matt Kenseth with Jason Ratcliff at Joe Gibbs Racing.
Joey Logano with Todd Gordon at Penske Racing.
Those are the two biggest driver changes. Others have new crew chiefs, such as Carl Edwards with Jimmy Fennig; Marcos Ambrose with Drew Blickensderfer; and Jeff Burton with Luke Lambert.
The biggest change is Edwards and Fennig. Edwards went from tying for the top spot in points in 2011 to not making the Chase and going winless in 2012. Meanwhile, Fennig and his crew led Kenseth to three victories so they are coming off a season where they are used to performing well. Edwards couldn't make it work with two crew chiefs last year — maybe things had just stalled by the time Bob Osborne resigned with health issues and things never gelled with Chad Norris.
Whatever the reason, the onus will be on Edwards to make it work this time.
of 7
Do the teams have reliable parts and pieces?
NASCAR just finished approving parts and pieces in the last couple of months and manufacturers have scrambled to get sheet metal for the teams.
Few teams will have backup cars this week, meaning that there could be some hesitancy toward drafting in huge packs.
Because so many pieces are new and unproven, a part breaking here or there would not be out of the ordinary. Let's hope no crashes result.
Why such a late approval? It took NASCAR time to find the package it thinks will work best because each car make reacts differently depending on the track.
Which brings us to the next item …
of 7
Who will be the first manufacturer asking for help?
NASCAR Vice President of Competition Robin Pemberton said last month that he does expect manufacturer lobbying to return to the NASCAR hauler.
It's been absent for the most part the last five years compared to what it used to be, but now with the cars being significantly different, manufacturers will claim that one brand has the edge over the other.
They will lobby NASCAR for more downforce or horsepower or another change they think will help their brand.
How much they ask for — and how much NASCAR listens — will be interesting. While it can be viewed that those that whine the most get the benefit from a rules change, NASCAR also can't just ignore concerns.
of 7
Is Clint Bowyer still mad at Jeff Gordon?
This rivalry was unsettled at the end of last year as Bowyer still wasn't talking to Gordon after Gordon wrecked him on purpose in the next-to-last race of the season.
Gordon said Bowyer deserved to be wrecked but he didn't mean for it to be as violent of a wreck when he spun Bowyer.
All Bowyer knows is it ended his slim championship hopes. And that made him mad.
This might be a little bit of hype and maybe time heals all wounds. But this was a pretty deep wound considering it cost Bowyer a shot at the championship.
We'll see if Bowyer has remained mad when he gets around Gordon on the track or off the track this week.

Drawing, Model Shop
By John Paul Chase
1944Recreational activities kept inmates constructively occupied. Many inmates filled their off-duty hours by painting and drawing. They were permitted to have art supplies in their cells. Artist Chase relaxed by making pen-and-ink drawings of the principal work assignments at Alcatraz, including: making clothing for the military personnel and inmates; making wood products (such as letter trays, drawers, and boxes) in the "model shop;" and working in the prison blacksmith and tool shops.

Which is more confusing?
Chronologically? The Malazan Books of the Fallen.
In any other way? Bakker.

I loved Kehlus in Bakker's books but I haven't gotten to the judging eye yet. Akka was pretty good except when he obsesses about his dilemas... which happens far too often. My biggest problem though is that there was so much sex in the books. It was (imho) pretty graphic in some scenes and really seemed unnecesary.
Based on characters and philosophy, Bakker is more complex. Based on plot Erickson is more complex.

I don't find the Malazan books all that confusing. Of course there are issue with the books but the ride is always worth taking.
With the PoN books I also found them to be an easy read I just had a hard time with the characters as none of them had any redeeming qualities.
Both are decent it just depends on what you are in the mood for.

Both are very strong series; both are intended for a mature audience. Perhaps the best testament to both series is that they will leave you with mental images and ideas that will stay with you a long time. I personally give the nod to PoN - the characters are better developed, a I found Bakker's prose more rewarding (both Khellus and Cnaiur have several monologues are amazing). MBotF is more epic in scale; but also requires a bit more work to get through. I get that Eriksson wanted to write "smart" fantasy and largely he succeeds.. but at times, the whole "you must figure out what's going on and it's going to take a while" starts to feel a bit like a gimmick.. it's kinda hard to stick with a story where repeatedly you're watching from someone's viewpoint and it takes 25 pages before you even know whom that person is... that being said - some of the scenes (Chain of Dogs?) are flat out amazing.

Wow, it's always fun to see how other readers experience the series one is reading. A lot of very strange proclamations in here
Some stuff that comes to mind:
PoN is not really finished after the third book...the first 3 books are just the beginning. True, the second trilogy starts some 20 years later but it takes up the thread of the first books and if you stop at PoN you have no real closure for almost all the major threads! Scott definitely sees his first two trilogies as something that belongs together. The third series that should follow...that is a bit more up in the air.
Malazan book characters all purely static and only serve a narrative purpose? Uhm yeah, i guess you must have read different books than i did.
Overall i really enjoyed those two series a lot. Bakker and Erikson are THE epic fantasy authors of our time, imo. Complexity of story and depth of worldbuilding is superb in both series and the intricacies of the stories only come to light if you read them with all your brain attending and/or some rereads.
People who think they got everything those books have to offer in one read-through are kidding themselves And that is also what makes them so good in my opinion...they are both very reread-worthy...which i enjoy in a good series.
Which one is more confusing? Well i echo DurzoBlint. In other words, i can not recommend a reading order for you...the only thing i want to say is : definitely read both series...no matter in what order.
August 19th, 2014, 02:00 PM #25
Malazan for me, without a doubt, and I would add deliberately so. Erikson never fully or clearly explains his world history and his magic system. The reason I gave up on the series after I think 8 books is when it became clear that I was reading only half of the epic, with many events and characters reserved for the books written by Esslemont.
Bakker is dense and demnading, but rarely confusing. The only issues I had where those left for the later books in the series, like the exact nature of the ancient adversaries.

I'm a big fan of epic fantasy, and found Malazan so deliberately confusing that I stopped after volume I. Its perhaps my least favorite epic fantasy that gets recommended (by some) on this site.
I think there is a philosophical divide between people that "want to work for it" and "not be handed everything on a silver platter" and people that don't appreciate having to say "wait, WTF is that guy, and WTF is he doing that?" again and again, over and over, repeatedly and with vehemence. Yeah, ok, I'm biased -- I didn't state that entirely fairly. But there is definitely some truth to it.
August 19th, 2014, 11:16 PM #27
Mordecus the necromancer. Not complaining!
Both great books. Malazan is by far the most confusing. Both are very philosophical and dark. But Malazan purposely throws you into the middle of plots with no explanation. PoN is somewhat linear plot lines. I like Malazan only slighter better, just because of the massive scope. Then again I read 14 malazan books and only 3 of the The Second Apocalypse, PoN trilogy.

I would say that the timelines in the Malazan BOTF are the more confusing of the 2. There are so many things going on concurrently that it can get confusing. A lot of the so called "Re-writing of history" in MBOTF is more that the POV of one character is mistaken or flawed, but I understand the point. MBOTF is truly epic in scope but if you are the type of reader that just wants one or two POVs, then you may want to hold off on MBOTF..... There are about 15 to 20 POVs throughout the series.
The confusing thing for me with PON is that I steadily disliked every single major character more and more as the story went on. Drusas is the only character that I at any time had any real empathy for. Eventually as the story wore on he went from sympathetic to pitiable finally to loathsomely weak and my pity turned to disgust. As the Aspect Emperor series continued (through white-luck warrior anyway), my primary joy and motivation for continuing to read the series has been to watch all the horrible things that start to happen to these hideous and hateful characters. Drusas does finally start to fight back a bit in the second trilogy and for me has partially redeemed himself ...... a bit. I look forward to The Unholy Consult in the hope that somebody somewhere can find something that Kelhus actually cares about and then crush whatever Kelhus loves (if there actually is anything that he even remotely cares about) just to hurt that callus son of a B.
Both authors do an outstanding job, but the stories aren't even remotely similar.
August 25th, 2014, 05:55 PM #29
I'd look at it as PoN books are confusing in better ways. There are more philosophical and historic fantasy elements in Bakkers books I find. Malazan is confusing in timelines and occasional continuity hiccups.
Both are great, but if i was forced to choose it would be Bakker. I've read both completely through twice.
August 25th, 2014, 06:25 PM #30
I think the Malazan series was very confusing and even though I am not a fan of the series at all I would still suggest reading them just because of the fact that the people who do enjoy the series seem to love it. I thought Prince of Nothing was a breeze compared to Malazan.

General U.S. Grant
Click on image to enlarge
Ulysses S. Grant was actually born, Hiram Ulysses Grant, in 1822. His name was accidently changed when he was accepted at West Point after a mistake by his Congressman, Thomas Hamer. After graduation, Grant was posted to the 4th Infantry, and served in the Mexican War, serving as a regimental quartermaster.
He was working in his fathers store when the Civil War broke out and he offered his services to the War Department but could not gain an appointment. He organized volunteers from Illinois and on April 24, 1861, ten days after the fall of Fort Sumpter, Captain Grant arrived in Springfield Illinois with a company of men he had raised. The governor appointed him a colonel and by August he was a brigadier general of the volunteers.
Grant's willingness to fight, and his ability to win, impressed President Lincoln who was tired of ineffectual generals. He promoted Grant to lieutenant general on March 2, 1864, and on March 12, Grant became general-in-chief of all the armies of the United States. He became a four star general in 1866, the first since Washington.p>Medium : 1 negative : glass, wet collodion

Gallery: Spectacular Handbuilt Home Blossoms Out of Coastal Rocks in Sp...
We've reported on homes built into cliffs and caves before, but it's not often that we see such a simple take that forgoes the use of heavy-duty machinery for traditional hand-building techniques. While most of coastal Spain is dotted with modern condos and brick and mortar construction, these humble cottages use craggy promontories and volcanic caves for their structural base. Despite their austere nature they still offer spectacular views over the sparkling ocean, which is literally just a few feet away.
The home featured here, photographed by Knechtel, is a wood construction that is used as a retreat by its owners during the hot summer months. The area is primarily made up of solid rock, but this material helps regulate the home's interior temperature – particularly in the summer when it keeps things cool for residents. The full integration of the natural landscape also makes for stunning, natural interior decor – in some instances walls are white washed to open the space, and in others the rock is left untreated.

It seems these homes have been destroyed – not without lots of painful events and polemics. The coastal law of 1998 has prohibited any construction within certain limits from the coast, applying it retroactively also to homes built much earlier in time (but not to the luxury hotels on the sandy beaches and rocky lines, of course). Villages like Cho Vito have been literally demolished in 2008 and people sent homeless elsewhere (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=FO5XQdqOY0s&feature=related – http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=O54jlTZ751g&feature=related). Incidentally, no official news nor evidence is available of these specific homes having been demolished too. And the big hotels are still there too and pumping money.

How Does The Hulk Keep His Pants On
July 5th, 2013
Looking at the Hulk in graphic novels often depicts him with no shoes, socks or shirt but still wearing pants. Obviously the alternative to suspending the belief that his jeans stay on while his stretchy t-shirt tears and falls off would alter the rating of the comic book hero to an adults-only status. It is a necessity of common decency that has been addressed in different ways as the character has been remade over the years.
The television series with actors Bill Bixby and Lou Ferrigno respectively playing Dr. David (Bruce) Banner and the Hulk was Read the rest of this entry »

Ravens beat Colts to advance
Monday, January 7, 2013
BALTIMORE (AP) — The Baltimore Ravens want one long final ride for Ray Lewis. Having disposed of Andrew Luck and the Colts, they now face a more imposing challenge.
He followed with a victory lap, his right arm, covered by a brace, held high in salute to the fans after playing for the first time since tearing his right triceps on Oct. 14 against Dallas.
He was upbeat following the defeat to the team he served as an assistant coach for four years.
His main target Sunday was Boldin, who had receptions of 50 and 46 yards, plus his 18-yard TD on a floater from Flacco in the corner of the end zone with 9:14 to go.
Reggie Wayne had 108 yards on eight receptions and moved into second in career playoff catches with 91 — 60 behind leader Jerry Rice. But the Colts, who moved from Baltimore to Indianapolis in 1984 — they still are despised here — became the second NFL team to improve to 11 wins following a two-win season and then lose in the opening round of the playoffs.
Notes: Ravens LB Dannell Ellerbe sprained an ankle late in the game. The Ravens didn't specify which ankle. ... Harbaugh is 6-4 in playoff games, as is Flacco. ... Rice finished with 70 yards rushing and Flacco threw for 282. ... Rookie Vick Ballard rushed for 91 yards for Indy. ... Colts T Winston Justice injured his arm.
