Journey Baptist on the move New food pantry to open, second church planned in Barrington
Friday, January 11, 2013
ROCHESTER — The Journey Baptist Church is on the move. By the end of January, it plans to have established a new facility — Joseph's Storehouse — to complement the work of Gerry's Food Pantry, and in February, the church hopes to close on a building on Route 125 in Barrington, thus opening up another worship location.
In addition, for the last five years, the congregation of the church has given a Christmas offering, and this money has been used throughout the year to help the needy with food, gas and more.
With the establishment of a 501(c)(3), the general public can now give tax-deductible donations to assist the church's charity work, and it will also be eligible for grants.
"We will complement Gerry's," said Willis's assistant, Lisa Ball. "Single parent may be working, and find Gerry's is closed when they get out. If they have a child, they can get $40 in food stamps per week, but that is not sufficient, and there are things you can't buy, like laundry soap. You can be poor and dirty."
She also thinks that homeless people are currently struggling.
Pastor Willis said that The Journey Baptist Church is currently under contract to purchase the building that was used, until recently, by the Restoration Church on Route 125, near the Route 9 junction. The Restoration Church congregation now uses just its Dover location.
The Journey Church has, in recent years, developed close ties with the veteran community in the city.

Hi: 10° Lo:5°
By Liam Moakes Tuesday 08 January 2013 Updated: 08/01 19:53
THERE were some victorious moments in the first major race of 2013 for Bromsgrove & Redditch Athletic Club members, which was held on Saturday and came in the form of the Worcestershire Cross Country Championship.
Held on Malvern Common, nestling in the shadow of the Malverns, the course was waterlogged and incredibly muddy with many steep inclines and ditches full of water.
As well as runners seeing how they coped against their counterparts from neighbouring clubs in the county, the event also served as a selection meeting for a national competition to be held in March.
Those finishing in the top eight were looking at selection for the inter-counties cross country competition, which will be held in Cofton Park.
The senior women stole the show with B&R finishing first, second and eighth to make up the winning team.
Katy Anderson finished the 6km course first in 26.36, Tamara Ball was second in 27.10, Helen Russell eighth in 29.02, Melanie Hepke ninth in 29.19, Charlotte Ball 19th in 31.19, Gemma Cone 21st in 31.31, Thomasina Ball 22nd in 31.33 and Jane Anderson 30th in 33.58.
The senior men were second in the team competition behind Halesowen over the 9.6km course. Individual performances were as follows: Rich Lomas fifth (38.25), Adam Lloyd seventh (38.39), Andy Freeman 27th (42.38), Steve Williams 29th (42.50), Kevin Lanckham 30th (43.14), Sean Bowden 39th (44.27), Anthony Warner 44th (45.36), Simon Lanckham 48th (46.35), Ian Keyte 53rd (47.19), Mark Appleton 56th (47.41), Ian Nutter 61st (49.50) and Phil Anderson 72nd (53.41).
In the junior competition many members worked hard to gain their county vest. In the U17 ladies competition (4.8km) B&R will be represented by Orianna Ball who placed fourth in 24.57.
In the men's U17 category (6km) Callum Smith placed fourth in 24.50, James Downing seventh (27.42), Alistair Mandando eighth (29.18) and Lewis Anderson ninth (33.06). Callum, James and Alistair took the silver team medal in this category.
The U15 girls competition saw Ruth Gameson take seventh place in 18.01 over the 3.6km course and Molly Tompkin finish tenth in 18.44.
In the U13 girls 3km event Halesowen took first to fourth places and B&R athletes finished in fifth to eighth positions.
B&R's Megan Nicod was fifth (14.10), Livvy Worth sixth (14.24), Amy Mijovic-Couldwell seventh (14.50) and Amy Tongue eighth (15.31). Thea Bartoszewicz placed 13th in 18.46.
Megan, Livvy and Amy Mijovic-Couldwell won themselves a silver medal in the team competition.
Three boys took part in the U13 3km competition in which Joshua Wiseman was sixth (13.20), Nicholas Jones 11th (14.53) and Jordan Hardgreaves 17th (16.08).

UX Concerns Across Mobile Platforms
Whether you're developing applications for one specific mobile platform, or targeting multiple mobile operating systems, it is a good idea to become familiar with the established general user expectations for each device. This article discusses the importance of adhering to user expectations through these constructs, and describes some circumstances when deviation may be appropriate.
Desktop User Expectations
When working within a full desktop environment, the user has room to spread multiple applications across the desktop simultaneously. Application developers have the freedom to allow window functions such as minimizing, resizing, repositioning, generation of multiple windows, and so forth. These applications can also be tightly integrated into the operating system by associating specific file types, tapping into specific OS constructs like the Windows Taskbar, or notification tray, and request updates independent of any application store.
Desktop Experience: Windows vs. Mac
Before mobile was a real consideration for most people, there was always the concern for an adherence to certain user control paradigms when developing for specific operating systems. The most obvious of these differences, to most users, have to do with differences in the Mac OSX and Windows application controls.
Quite a big deal was made of these differences when Adobe released their cross-platform AIR runtime. AIR allows developers to build desktop applications which can run on Windows, OSX, and even Linux. This fact caused a stir among platform-specific UI purists (especially those familiar with the Apple Human Interface Guidelines) as application interface controls could take on a variety of forms due to the open nature of Flash UI design. There was a great fear that applications built using Adobe AIR on Windows could then be used on OSX and ruin the integrity of the unified Apple experience.
I'm a proponent of the idea that any experience, if done well, does not necessarily need to conform strictly to any specific guidelines. Though useful when considering the user experience, to dismiss anything which deviates from that restrictive path is probably not the most open way to approach new ideas.
How Mobile UX is Different
The mobile user experience is radically different than that of the traditional desktop, by necessity. Users generally have very small screens and therefore not a lot of room to work with. As a result, excepting Android Widgets, applications take up the entire screen. The user's full attention is directed toward the running application with few distractions. A phone call could come in, or a notification may pop up, but most of the time, as a mobile application developer, you are guaranteed a captive audience.
Screen Paradigm
The fact that an application will fill the entire screen during the entire duration of an interaction is the single most important consideration for mobile UX. It frames any other decision that is to be made about the overall UI and flow of the application. Depending upon the platform, this may mean that while an application is active, additional applications have been dismissed to the background or closed entirely. The user is always focused upon one screen at a time, and methods for navigating these screens are often dependent upon whichever operating system is in play.
Unique Hardware
The most obvious difference between various mobile platforms is their differing hardware. Android devices have four buttons along the bottom or side, which include a home key, dedicated back button, dedicated options menu button, and search. The iPhone has one button. Tablet OS devices such as the BlackBerry PlayBook have a unique bezel through which a variety of gestures can be used, moving beyond simple button presses.
On a desktop or laptop computer, the user generally interacts with the application by use of a mouse or some other traditional pointing device. With a mobile phone or tablet device, support for touch completely derails the concept of a single, clicking arrow, substituting fingertips, gestures, and sensors for the simple mouse pointer. This fact alone reshapes the entire interactive landscape when considering UX with these devices.
Addressing Concerns Across Platforms
I will discuss some of the more obvious differences between three major players in the mobile market at this time: Google Android, Apple iOS, and the BlackBerry Tablet OS.
One major difference across all three platforms is how option menus are handled. For iOS, there is normally a button within the application that allows the user to access application-specific menus. This is quite different on Android, as there is a dedicated menu button built into the device that can be programmed to reveal application options, normally via a menu at the bottom of the screen. With Tablet OS, a swipe from the top bezel will pull down or dismiss a set of menu options defined for any given application.
As a result, each of the platforms has an entirely different way of handling the same problem. Users on each platform expect to be able to access similar features in each app in similar ways, consistent with that specific platform. There is room for overlap, of course. The baseline is the iOS model you can simply render a menu button within the application UI of the other two platforms. However, this is not ideal on Android or Tablet OS and could alienate users of those specific platforms.
Also of concern is the styling of certain UI controls. A list control on Android often looks quite different than the same control on iOS. We encounter the same problem with an alert or any other standard control element such as buttons, scrollbars, etc. This is where decisions around skinning come into play. While not entirely necessary, it will aid the UX if the controls on your application look as though they belong to that particular platform, making the application friendlier to their predetermined sensibilities.
Why Adhere to Existing Paradigms?
When users have become familiar with a specific platform, they will expect certain behaviors when interacting with that device. Deviating from an established expectation can cause confusion for the user and lead to a frustrating experience, or even to total abandonment of the application.
It's important to remember the importance of a first impression. This is as true for applications as it is for people. If you lose someone right off the bat because you force him into unexpected methods of interacting with the application, it will be difficult to win that user back, even with an update that fixes the issue.
When to Deviate from Existing Paradigms
Adhering to known user conventions is the safest way to approach UX, but it may not always be the best. At times, it may be worth the risk of deviating from the norm, either due to the uniqueness of some application process, or because it better establishes a connection with your user in a tighter way than the standard paradigm allows.
An example of this is the Swype keyboard for Android. Through this virtual keyboard replacement, the user simply performs gestures across what appears to be a normal set of keys for inputting text. The application interprets the intention of the user through these gestures and lays out a series of words. This method of type input is completely different from the normal style of use of mobile keyboards, which requires the user to peck at each key on the screen to form words. Given its nonconformity with the established user experience, Swype should be a total failure, yet it has become hugely popular and has proven itself, for some users, to be more efficient than traditional methods.
Last Thoughts
The best advice to those coming to a new platform for application development is to learn what makes the device platform different from others and to take advantage of that. Only deviate from established norms when it benefits the user in some way by making interactions better than they would be otherwise. When creating an application that will be installed on multiple platforms, be aware of existing user interface paradigms and work with them for each system. Skinning your controls for each device, while not always necessary, will add a touch of polish and may go that extra little bit to win a user's appreciation.
Add new comment
Hmmm actually looking at this guy's website and his skillset I don't think he's actually qualified to talk about UX.....shame on you UXmag.
I agree with your comment about how with mobile applications, a users attention is different than with the general desktop navigation experience. I think it would be great to clarify that you don't necessarily have a "captive" audience as there is generally a lot of stuff going on when I am utilizing my mobile phone and applications, but that generally a user's intent is different when using mobile applications. As Susan Weinschenk points out in her article, often times when you are surfing the web or looking at your applications on your phone, you are very goal oriented and looking for specific, time sensitive material. I think this is what you mean by captive, as in, the focus is different than when you have users surfing the web on their ipads or laptops. Great article though. We are doing a lot of mobile development and your article is very helpful.
"I'm a proponent of the idea that any experience, if done well, does not necessarily need to conform strictly to any specific guidelines."
Hear, Hear!
However, assuming this is a Brand-related experience, aren't guidelines particularly necessary, for consistency's sake, when existing across various spaces (e.g. mediums, platforms)? And does following those guidelines become increasingly more importance when the experience needs to survive in a greater number of spaces?
Also, can common DNA be found across quality experiences? The thought being that since they've adhered to certain protocols (consciously or not) they end up well done and (hopefully) successful.
Dmitry, I have to disagree with your comments above. I am also appalled with the brash approach of your comment. I don't think that you would respond to an article in this way if you were not able to hide behind a computer. Your comment not only stifles constructive comments and contributions to this publication, but it also attacks an established professional and author trying to create dialogue and to make the user experience community more informed. I would hope that you would not verbally attack a person like this in person if you did not like or appreciate their work, but rather to ask thought provoking questions and try to understand where they are coming from. Behaving with quiet confidence will always beat berating with obvious insecurity. If you are an expert on this subject then I would suggest that you write your own article and have that published. Good article Joseph
Dmitry Nekrasovski The article seems to consist primarily of generic platitudes. How many paragraphs are really needed to express the idea that you should conform to platform conventions unless you have good reasons for doing so? The one example used by the author (Swype) is totally inappropriate for the point he is trying to make. The whole point of an alternate-keyboard app is to deviate from established OS guidelines - if it conformed to them, it would match the experience provided by the device's default keyboard. I also take issue with the author's claim that the differences between the experience offered by native desktop applications vs. those based on Adobe Air are only of concern to "platform-specific UI purists". There are well-documented examples of users of applications based on Air and other cross-platform development frameworks expressing a preference for native-like experiences. Some examples can be found in Alex Payne's excellent post Shortchanging Your Business with User-Hostile Platforms.
It's unfortunate that the author, as a Flash/Air developer, is not familiar with the UX drawbacks of the cross-platform development approach. Finally, statements like "as a mobile application developer, you are guaranteed a captive audience" make it pretty clear that the author has very little familiarity with the topic he writes about. I'd strongly suggest that a bit of time spent observing actual people using mobile applications, as well as reading work from actual experts in mobile UX (e.g. Josh Clark on microtasking) would have made for a more informed perspective.

For the celebration they have gone through their archives and produced a set of talks. One talk is on 100 years of amateur aerials. Bill will present this talk with photos and discussion at the Nov. 21 AMRAD meeting.
Dolley Madison Library, McLean, VA.
[[!img RSGB_100YO.gif alt="RSGB"]]
[[!img Antenna_erection.jpg size="300x200"]] #Recent Meetings * October 10, 2013 - Ron Payne, WA6YOU - "Coax Connectors - The Intimidating Interface." Ron demonstrated installing PL259 and BNC coax crimp connectors and weatherproofing methods. * September 19 - Mark Braunstein, WA4KFZ, provided an overview of printed circuit board fabrication for the electronics experimenter. Mark has personal experience using CNC routers in a commercial enterprise. Other options for do-it-yourselfers include conventional photo-etching and contact etching with laser printed masks. A number of domestic and foreign fabricators offer fast turn around at low cost but with confusing choices for software and file formats. * August 8, 2013 - Maitland Bottoms, AA4HS, introduced us to digital voice communications on HF using FreeDV software. FreeDV is an application for Windows, Linux and MacOS (BSD and Android are in development) that allows any SSB radio to be used for low bit rate digital voice. The software compresses speech to 1400 bit/s then modulates a 1.1 kHz wide quadrature phase-shift keying (16-QPSK) signal which is sent to the Mic input of a SSB radio. On receive, the signal is received by the SSB radio, then demodulated and decoded by FreeDV. Communications is readable down to 2 dB S/N, and long-distance contacts are reported using 1-2 watts power.

FreeDV is unique as it uses 100% Open Source Software, including the audio codec. FreeDV represents a path for 21st century Amateur Radio where Hams are free to experiment and innovate without being locked into a single manufacturer's proprietary technology. The same cables and hardware that you use for other digital modes that are based on PC programs will work with FreeDV, but you will need a second sound interface for the microphone and speaker connections to the FreeDV program. A USB headset of the sort used by gamers is all you need for the second sound interface.

Israel's 'Iron Dome' Changes The Face Of Battle
Israel's 'Iron Dome' Changes The Face Of Battle
AirAsia Plane Carrying 162 Lost; 3rd Malaysia Airline Shock
Unlock your personal NFL Now stream by signing in to NFL.com
Israel's "Iron Dome" defense system has emerged as a game-changer in the current round of violence with Hamas militants in the Gaza Strip, shooting down dozens of incoming rockets and being credited with preventing numerous civilian casualties. By shooting down more than 90 percent of its targets, the system is ensuring Israel's decisive technological edge that has helped it operate virtually unhindered in Gaza.
An astonishingly tragic year for air travel in Southeast Asia turned worse Sunday when an AirAsia plane carrying 162 people disappeared over stormy Indonesian waters, with no word on its fate despite several hours of searching by air and sea. AirAsia Flight 8501 vanished in airspace possibly thick with dense storm clouds, strong winds and lightning on its way from Surabaya, Indonesia, to Singapore. Searchers had to fight against heavy rain. The Malaysia-based carrier's loss comes on top of the still-unexplained disappearance of Malaysia Airlines Flight 370 in March and the downing of Malaysia Airlines Flight 17 in July over Ukraine. At the Surabaya airport, shocked family members pored over the plane's manifest, crying and embracing when they learned the news. Nearly all the passengers and crew are Indonesians, who are frequent visitors to Singapore, particularly on holidays.
Well, if this isn't a dream, then what is? John Legend just performed a wedding ceremony for his dogs. The two pups, a bulldog and French bulldog named Puddy and Pippa, were joined in holy matrimony to the tune of Legend's love ballad "All of Me." It seems John took care of every last magical detail—he sprinkled rose petals on the aisle, he tossed the bouquet, he cut the cake and he fed the newlyweds their first delicious bite. He even posed with the happy couple in the photo booth, ridiculously goofy props included. The video compilation of the nuptials is completely adorable whether you're a dog lover or just a John Legend lover.
The Late, Late Show with James Corden celebrated its inaugural April's Fools Day Wednesday, and his guests rose to the occasion. Yahoo global news anchor Katie Couric paid her first visit to Corden's new show, where she staged an elaborate prank that turned the new late night host white as a sheet and caused him to let several expletives slip. Couric employed a convincing stunt double – dressed in the same outfit and all – to make Corden believe she had taken a nasty fall down the stairs on her way to the stage.
The Fox comedy New Girl is bringing another mom into the mix. The Hollywood Reports has learned that actress Anna George of Royal Pains has been tapped to guest star as Cece's mother on newly announced fifth season. For George, the New Girl gig will mark the second time she has played the mother to actress Hannah Simone, who portrays Cece. The duo previously starred together in Miss India America. Production on season five is already under way as the series looks to accommodate star Zooey Deschanel's pregnancy. George's credits include Madam Secretary, Rules of Engagement, Law & Order and The Lovely Bones.
Howard Stern has been in a longstanding feud with Tom Hanks and Rita Wilson's son, Chet Haze, and it doesn't look like it's coming to an end anytime soon.

"It irritates ... me to see someone take that culture and appropriate it," Jude said on-air. "It's like, come on, bro, you're not from that. You learned how to talk from a video, dawg.

Air traveler exercises his right to exercise
Blog Entry:
May 02, 2013 1:26 PM | Author: SCOTT SUTTELL
Canton native Christopher Berger, 42, an exercise physiologist and professor at the University of Indianapolis, is on
something of a crusade
to persuade frequent flyers to pack a pair of walking shoes for their trips.
The New York Times
profiles Dr. Berger, complete with a shot of him walking through
Akron-Canton Airport
. He sees the delays common at airports as opportunities to move and relieve stress. Where "some see an interminable wait, he sees an invigorating walk," the newspaper says.
"What I try to promote with my interest in air travel is the simple fact that flying can be healthy," Dr. Berger tells
The Times
. "Travel does not mean deconditioning. You're stuck in a terminal for three hours, boo hoo, but you have a climate-controlled place where you can walk literally for miles at some airports if you want."
As chairman of the
American College of Sports Medicine
task force on healthy air travel, Dr. Berger "enthusiastically delivers his Exercise on the Fly public health pitch to colleagues, airport managers, travel industry officials and anyone else who will listen," according to the profile.
He "urges airport managers to develop signs and promotional materials to encourage walking,"
The Times
says. "He talks about the surprising number of airports that are adjacent to public parks and pedestrian paths, easily reachable during layovers. He points out that terminals themselves are big enough to create your own indoor walking path."
Dr. Berger sure practices what he preaches. From the story:
In March, while on a long layover in Phoenix during a trip from Indianapolis to Los Angeles, he put together his own airport marathon. Arriving in Phoenix, he bounded off the plane, got on the PHX Sky Train and took it to the Metro Light Rail connection. He caught a train to Tempe, where he disembarked and walked to Arizona State University's aquatic center.
There, he enjoyed an hour-long swim, did a bit of sunbathing, showered, dried off his swim trunks with a hair dryer in the locker room (he had worn his swimsuit under his business clothes), dressed and headed back to the airport, in plenty of time to go through security again for his connecting flight.
He ran track in high school in Canton, so Dr. Berger had the exercise bug early in life.
This and that
Two out of three ain't bad:
Proxy advisory firm
Institutional Investor Services Inc.
advising shareholders
Ferro Corp.
, which is fending off
A. Schulman Inc.'s
unsolicited takeover offer, that they should vote for two of three dissident director nominees.
Investors should vote for Quinpario Partners CEO Jeffry Quinn and FrontFour Capital Group co-founder David Lorber, ISS said in a new report, according to Bloomberg. (Quinpario and FrontFour have said they hold 4.3% of Ferro shares.) ISS didn't recommend a vote for a third open seat on the nine-member board of Mayfield Heights-based Ferro.
"The dissidents have articulated a strong case that change on (Ferro's) board is warranted," ISS said. Ferro has underperformed peer companies and its board "appears not to have given due regard to a very real initial indication of interest from a potential acquirer," according to ISS.
Shareholders are set to vote at a May 15 meeting.
In a statement responding to the report, Ferro said, "While we are pleased that ISS recognizes that FrontFour Group nominee Nadim Qureshi does not merit election to Ferro's board of directors, we strongly believe that ISS reached the wrong conclusion in failing to recommend that shareholders elect all of the company's highly qualified and experienced nominees. We reiterate our board's unanimous recommendation that shareholders vote 'FOR' all of the company's nominees."
On second thought …
Big banks aren't crazy about the Sen. Sherrod Brown/Sen. David Vitter bill that calls for banks with more than $500 billion in assets to have capital reserves of 15%, but the measure probably would be good for them, according to
this analysis
from Dealbook.
The banks so far have argued the bill is a "punishment" that would render American banks "uncompetitive" and lead to future financial crises.
Dealbook sees that as unlikely.
From the analysis:
Goldman Sachs and S&P estimate the big banks might be forced to raise $1 trillion or more. That's a lot, so much that the leviathans' agents cry out that they couldn't sell that much stock. But they don't have to raise it all at once. And they can retain their earnings and stop paying dividends in addition to selling shares.
In putting that argument forward, they don't realize they make Sen. Brown's and Sen. Vitter's case for them. If investors are so terrified of the big banks that they won't buy their stock, that's a terrific problem. Most of the big banks trade below their net worth, an indication that investors don't trust them. Brown-Vitter might actually help banks by restoring that trust.
Hitting is catching on:
Catchers in Major League Baseball "have quietly become significant contributors to their teams' offense, surpassing all positions players other than first basemen, left fielders and right fielders by one important measure" — and the
Cleveland Indians'
Carlos Santana is at the head of the pack.
The Wall Street Journal
that while catchers with exceptional defensive skills have been in vogue in recent years, this season is seeing an offensive rebirth at the position.
Through Monday's games, catchers had a collective .727 OPS (that's on-base plus slugging percentages) compared with a .724 OPS for all non-pitchers.
Mr. Santana leads the way with a 1.141 OPS, followed by the Colorado Rockies' Wilin Rosario, who's at 1.023. A number above .900 is All-Star level performance; anything above 1 is Hall of Fame territory — provided the player can do it for 12 to 15 years.

wow, this is a FANTASTIC design! great use of space...
p.s. it would be even better if the white glowed in the dark!
Perfect retro game reference!
For a moment I thought that the clouds were brains.
And having heard War of the Worlds, the city dwellers knew just how to defeat the alien threat - a computer virus! How to upload it was less obvious...
A great (and geeky) example of Pareidolia.
Reminds me of the flying brains from Futurama coming down on you.
the protrusions on the buildings look like they are cloud cannons XD
I also think that if you look at this from a horizontal perspective it looks like the space invaders' version of the LHC
So much for using a building as a shield..
At first glance I thought this was a terrible design and just an excuse to put a video game character on a shirt. Now that I look at it more closely though it's actually pretty cool.
That's pretty slick. And since that good old 4bit game is what my husband pulled up to play promptly after hooking a laptop up to our tv....that's an insta gift.
Looking at this design for too long made me dizzy. Love the perspective though.
I need buildings that jut out on the top for reference please...
I really like the optical effect and the whole DFA vibe. Plus I was a ginormous Space Invaders fan when I was a kid.
partly cloudy with a chance of invasion
Great shirt but I have so many black shirts =\
makes me want to go play this awesome neo-retro again. hooray paradox. :D
That's one way to avoid a copyright lawsuit lol.
I like this alot. It has both a retro (cut my teeth on SI) and a modern look, but what really impresses me is the nearly seamless interweaving of so many different elements. It looks like building - no - it's a futuristic computer screen. It's got meteors - no those are eyes! It's a mask - no, it's the sky. Brilliant!
Tang Yau Hoong always makes you think.
First thing I thought was Tron for some reason. Then Space Invaders. Pumped to see the movie on Friday!

Seeing it myself at midnight Thursday at the local IMAX screen. Been waiting for this one all year. Actually, longer.
This is probably the best shirt I've seen that uses only three colors (including white).
Reminds me of this font.

I agree. Reminds me of the arrow on the Fedex logo. Once you see it, you can't unsee it. O_O
When I saw it I immediately thought of Contra and the tunnel levels.
God, I love that game.
Wait...now it's an xbox 360 controller...
What a SHIRT!
Sephirage wrote:I agree. Reminds me of the arrow on the Fedex logo. Once you see it, you can't unsee it. O_O
I immediately went to go look at the fedex logo.
strange coincidence that I was just now reading a book that opens with this passage:
"Toward the end of the nineteenth century, Lord Kelvin, one of the best known and most respected physicists at that time, commented that "only two small clouds" remained on the horizon of knowledge in physics. In other words, there were, in Kelvin's view, only two sources of confusion in our otherwise complete understanding of material reality—the results of the Michelson-Morley experiment, which failed to detect the existence of a hypothetical substance called the ether, and the inability of electromagnetic theory to predict the distribution of radiant energy at different frequencies emitted by an idealized "radiator" called the black body. These problems seemed so "small" that some established physicists were encouraging those contemplating graduate study in physics to select other fields of scientific study where there was better opportunity to make original contributions to scientific knowledge. What Lord Kelvin could not have anticipated was that efforts to resolve these two anomalies would lead to relativity theory and quantum theory, or to what came to be called the "new" physics.
What is most intriguing about Kelvin's metaphor for our purposes is that it is visual. We "see," it implies, physical reality through physical theory, and the character of that which is seen is analogous to a physical horizon which is uniformly bright and clear. Obstacles to this seeing, the "two clouds," are likened to visual impediments which will disappear when better theory allows us to see through, or beyond, them to the luminous essence which explains and eliminates them."
This space invader is literally made of space!
It's rare to see negative space as the focus of a shirt. Clever stuff, TYH. ^__^
Congrats on your print!
Creative designs like this are definitely worth buying. In for one.
Wow, this is fantastic. I had to get two, one for my boyfriend and one for my brother.
Almost got one for me too, but that would have been a little too much I think. : )
Great design!
Based on the view point of this one, some worm is going to have a really bad day.
That's what you said about that cloud insurance. Look at them up there...plotting.
It looks like a combination of Space Invaders and Tempest.
Looks like rain today.
...at least I hope it's just rain.
The new Bioshock game is about "Sky Invaders" pretty much, right?
So creative and amazing design!
Space invaders has been done to death, but somehow you made it new again. I'm not big on pop culture tees, but when they're fresh/done well it's a different story.
Also, I think I actually achieved vertigo when I first looked at this.

When is IDC and Michael going to realize that they can make much more profit and have much more sales by having things like product reviews on this website, with carefully considered and balanced "pros and cons" of each device, and a link at the end of the article that both gives the user a small discount (coupon code) and gives the site a referral bonus?
Little flashy ads that say "MY PRODUCT IS COOL, BUY IT NOW" have very little effect on the percentage of the population that thinks for themselves -- and a large portion of Phoronix readership is in that category. We respond to reasoned argumentation in the form of prose, not whizzling flash ads. If anything, those make me less likely to ever buy that product because I interpret the advertising company as full of sleezeballs.

I have no lower opinion of Gigabyte than I did before this e-mail. Nearly every board in my house (Main PC, Garage PC, 3 HTPCs) is a Gigabyte. They have never had any issues with Linux. You (and your boss) are making a mountain out of a mole hill.
Oh well. I think it is often a problem running into a help- and clueless hotline/email person that doesn't know shit and is scared of that strange L-Word. So they block it with a copy and paste "blahblah" lame answer. Then, a lot of stuff lies in the hands of the BIOS Vendors themselves (see agd5f's post here).
I personally use pcie_aspm=force and it seems to be ok. Still, we really need that secret password to reach the better informed hotline.
My experience: I called a few times hotlines when I really ran into a problem I couldn't seem to fix on my own but that person was normally 100x more clueless than I. One of the few exception were a now defunct internet provider (but really depends whom you reach in the callcenter) and iiyama (the monitor folks).
Especially with mainboard vendors it seems that they have one single support person that barely speaks English and is overloaded with support request from the whole world. Often they just send you pre-compiled blahblah from the FAQ not even having actually read your question. Sad thing that support is often so lousy.
Can't tell about Gigabyte since I didn't have one but I checked their webpages from time to time and afair they had this "Linux users pls download drivers from chipset manufacturer" and iirc. they provide a BIOS update mechanism that enables you (like ASUS) to put the BIOS image to a FAT32 medium (floppy, HDD, stick) and just load it from a small program "inside" the BIOS setup. No DOS or Windows required.
And when it comes to boards I guess a lot is just
a) chipset from AMD, intel or nv or whom ever
b) additional network chip (Realtek, via, something)
c) audio chip
d) USB3 from Renesas or NEC if not in chipset
e) firewire from via
f) SuperIO from e.g. ITE or Fintek
... whatever I forgot.
But all compiled mainly from "standard" components without much own input.

the good point of gigabyte mainboard is the dual-bios they have on all mainboards .
the highest model of it with x58 , is very liked by those doing sli/crossfire with 3 cards or more @ 16x
this model also has radiators for chipsets ready to get in water cooling loop . that is a great good point and i never seen others doing that .
for the rest , like all others motherboards makers , they have all prices and quality . benchmarks based on chipset show clearly that all brands have close results when no overclocking . overclocking leads intel boards to be last ;']
Maybe the solution is to some vendor support a way to reflash BIOS with some open BIOS. For sure the actual scenario we have is a lock down.

Liz LaPlante enters her 36th year as head coach of the Triton women's tennis team in 2014-15.
During her 35 years on the La Jolla campus, LaPlante has amassed a .677 winning percentage with her 523-250 overall record. She has posted double-digit win totals in all but five of her 35 campaigns at the helm, and has notched winning seasons in all but four. Only four times in her career has she had a team with double-digit losses while recording 20 or more wins on five different occasions.
LaPlante earned her 500th career victory as head coach of the Tritons in the season finale against Hawaii Hilo on April 22, 2012, when UCSD cruised to a 5-0 win.
In 2013, UCSD finished the season with a 14-7 overall record and a final ITA national ranking of 19th. The 14 victories were the most for the Tritions since the 2010 season.
2012 was LaPlante's 12th year at the NCAA Division II level after 21 seasons during which she became the most successful coach in Division III women's tennis history. Her teams qualified for the NCAA Division III National Championships a total of 19 times, winning four national titles and finishing second on five other occasions. The Tritons also placed third nationally three times while at the D-III level.
Despite UCSD's conference winning streak being snapped at an amazing 65 wins with a loss to Cal Poly Pomona, the Tritons rebounded to defeat Cal State Stanislaus in the final match of the 2010 California Collegiate Athletic Association (CCAA) slate to capture their seventh-straight league title. UCSD finished the season with a No. 15 national ranking and earned the third seed in the West Region, advancing to the program's 30th-consecutive appearance in the NCAA Tournament. Despite the Tritons falling 5-1 in their May 6 return to Hawaii, the season-ending loss did not take away from the stellar campaign.
LaPlante was recognized as the 2009 CCAA Coach of the Year as well as the Intercollegiate Tennis Association (ITA) West Region Coach of the Year after leading the Tritons to their sixth-straight undefeated CCAA championship season. Under LaPlante's tutelage, UCSD recorded wins against Hawaii Pacific, Hawai'i-Hilo, No. 17 Florida Southern, No. 22 Cal State Stanislaus and No. 25 Delta State. LaPlante's coaching prowess helped the Tritons extend their CCAA winning streak to an amazing 59 games, as the team earned the second seed in the NCAA Division II West Region.
The 2008 season was another banner year for the women's tennis program as LaPlante guided the Tritons to their fifth-straight conference title. The team posted a 14-11 overall record and a perfect 10-0 mark in CCAA play. The undefeated league campaign ran the Tritons' win streak up to 50-straight in conference action, a streak that dates back to the final league match of the 2003 campaign.
LaPlante earned her fifth-straight CCAA Coach of the Year award while also placing five of her student-athletes on the All-CCAA Team.
In addition to the team's success during the regular season, LaPlante also guided her squad to the NCAA postseason for the 27th-straight season. The Tritons won their first round matchup, defeating Cal Poly Pomona by a 5-0 margin before traveling to BYU-Hawaii and losing in the second round by a 5-0 score.
In 2006, LaPlante directed her squad to a CCAA title and a 14-8 overall record. The Tritons advanced to the second round of the NCAA Division II Tournament before being ousted by Hawaii-Hilo in a narrow 5-4 decision. UCSD placed four student-athletes on the All-CCAA teams while LaPlante earned CCAA Coach of the Year honors. Ina Dan was tabbed the CCAA Freshman of the Year.
The 2005 campaign marked the second-straight season that the Tritons went undefeated in conference play. The CCAA title led to another NCAA Championship appearance in which the Tritons won the West Regional at home and moved on to the round of 16 in Florida.
While in Florida, UCSD won its round of 16 match and advanced on to the Elite Eight for the first time since 2002. The run through the NCAA brackets came to an end in their first match as the Tritons fell to Armstrong Atlantic State. The team ended the year with a 20-4 overall record, including LaPlante's 400th career win, its best mark since the 23-4 campaign in 2002.
2004 marked a season of firsts for the Tritons at the Division II level, going a perfect 8-0 in league play and winning their first CCAA championship. Coach LaPlante guided her squad to an 18-9 overall record and a final national ranking of No. 15 following her team's advancement to the second round of the NCAA Tournament.
In 2003, UCSD finished with an overall record of 17-6 and a final ITA national ranking of 19th. The Tritons were a near-perfect 7-1 in conference play, finishing as runner-up at the CCAA Championships for the third year in a row. Three Tritons were named All-CCAA. Following an opening-round win over Hawaii-Hilo, the Tritons lost to eventual repeat national champion BYU-Hawaii on the road in an NCAA second round match in Laie, Hawaii, to conclude the season.
LaPlante was honored as the NCAA Division III Coach of the Decade in 1991. She was also the 2000 ITA Division III Coach of the Year.
Since LaPlante took over the program in 1980, 29 Tritons have earned All-America honors.
LaPlante has served as a member of the Western Region Ranking Committee since 1981, and has also been on the ITA National Ranking Committee and the NCAA National Subcommittee, which governs the national championships for men's and women's tennis.
LaPlante graduated from San Diego State University in 1979 and played varsity tennis for three years as an undergraduate. Prior to that, she was one of the top junior players in San Diego County. LaPlante currently plays club tennis.

If you back bitcoin you are doing the same as those that buy the fake currency in Free2Play games.
Phoronix: AMD Optimizes Bitcoin Mining On R600 LLVM OpenCL
Earlier this month I wrote about Bitcoin Mining coming to the open-source Radeon Linux GPU driver. In the weeks since, Tom Stellard of AMD has made more improvements to the AMD R600 LLVM back-end that benefit the performance of Bitcoin mining...
If you back bitcoin you are doing the same as those that buy the fake currency in Free2Play games.
Is this supposed to be a better -real world- test for the OpenCL implementation??
Its a variation of the Thomas Theorem for Sociology: "If men define situations as real, they are real in their consequences."
Whether you like it or not, Bitcoin is important to a lot of people for various reasons.
Of course also for AMD, as it has created significant demand for their high-end cards. There was a time when 6990 cards were really difficult to buy because the Bitcoin community snatched all of them as soon as they hit retail.
Somehow it feels that Con Kolivas is disliked by some guys, or why else would you talk about bfgminer, a fork of Koliva's cgminer that mainly just merges in his patches as he keeps on developing?
Also the whole situation of BFS not being in-kernel. Many tests show BFS to have superior performance to CFS in some workloads and anyone can agree the complexity is an order of magnitude smaller.
What has he done to be closed out like this?
Last edited by varikonniemi; 04-30-2013 at 03:55 AM.
It might not be that he is being closed out, perhaps the people behind bfgminer are more proactive about talking to external developers/community engagement.
