Portable Grindhouse won't be out until the late holidays but after a long delay I'm pleased to finally be sending Jacques Boyreau's baby off to press. What seemed like a good suggestion at the time-- to present these old beat up video tapes as austere artifacts (my "Richard Avedon" presentation according to Jacques)-- turned into a nightmare of production. But at last, rest easy VHS fans, this thing is going to press.
Featuring 200 pages of spreads showing the front and back of video boxes selected by Jacques, the book will also come inside a light cardboard slipcase, video box style. (Note, that's not the cover above (nor is the image at Amazon), that's just Flog filler.)
All this week and next week we're bringing you a sneak peek at our Fall 2009 - Winter 2010 schedule of releases! Today's excerpt from our latest book distributor's catalog includes Portable Grindhouse: The Lost Art of the VHS Box Vol. 1; a re-release of Willie & Joe: The WWII Years; The Definitive Prince Valiant Companion by Brian M. Kane; and Basil Wolverton's Culture Corner. (Note that all the info in this catalog is subject to change along the way to the books' release, including release dates, prices, cover art, book specs, etc.) Click here to download the PDF!

How to Select
How to select tower fans
Selecting a new fan can become a very complicated and time consuming process, especially when you do not know where to start. This article will guide you through the main aspects that should be considered and will help you select the tower fan that will satisfy your needs the most.
Equipping your room with a tower fan has many benefits to offer. First of all, you'll be able to receive great air flow from a compact and efficient unit. Because of the oscillating features of such devices, they are able to distribute the air flow for 90 degrees from a stationary location. You will not need to move such a fan nor will it require any additional installation. If you are looking not only for cool but also fresh air, you should consider buying a device with an ionization option.
When selecting a tower fan, first question you should answer is how much space do you want it to affect? Depending on the cooling area a capacity should be chosen. This step is really simple to complete, the larger the area, the more circulation power your future fan should offer.
The next thing you might want to consider is the sound the tower fan produces while operating. Generally, such devices are manufactured to produce the least noise possible. This makes them a perfect addition to any room, especially a bedroom or a nursery.
Easy operation is yet other useful feature to consider. The easier the operation, the more comfortable and enjoyable your fan will be. Multiple functionality can be helpful when the fan is installed in a large room or an office. For example, you might want it to have remote control, programmable operation or various levels of oscillation but such features depend on your needs only.
One of the greatest things about such devices, along with their efficient and reliable operation, is their unusual construction and design. The tower fans that are offered today become an additional decoration for your room, complementing its décor while also cooling the surroundings and making it more enjoyable during summer.
When selecting a tower fan, some of the following questions may arise:
How easy are they to operate?
The more features your tower fan offers, the more daunting it is to operate. However, there is nothing scary about this device when you know exactly what each button on the control panel does. Using a smartphone is way more challenging but everyone seems to succeed in it.
What about portability?
Additional mobility of a tower fan will not do you any harm. If you plan to use it in multiple rooms, portability is definitely the feature to look for.
How safe is a tower fan?
All of the fans and similar devices were and are designed with safety in mind. Because of their unique construction and vertical operation, tower fans offer additional levels of safety.

Remember... ignore last game and any last game sterotypes/connotations if you want to win. =D
It's a new scenario
a new atmosphere
a new crowd of people
Anything goes!
Everyone, remember to contact some people or else you'll get lonely... no allies.. and probably.. bored. Pming people, getting each other's MSN/AIM sn, getting other people's e-mails are great ways. Don't forget, you can try IRC also on #firstname.lastname@example.com If you don't know how IRC works and would like to learn, I'm more than happy to teach you how. (I'm sure lots of others will want to help too).
Everything was random. Apologies to those who didn't get a role. Nevertheless, still have fun. =D You still got a very important role in the game!

If you are the cleric, seer, or guardian please drop me the message of who you want to scrye, save, become buddies, via pm only on ST. When the Day is over, you will get a pm with the response/answer.
If you are a wolf, please send me a unified message about who to kill via pm only on ST.
If you are a seer, you cannot ping yourself to find out what type of seer you are.
To MR./MS. INSANE SEER: All wolves shows as townies. The exception is the Godfather (Because he/she does a flip in itself). The Godfather will be pinged correctly as a mafia. All Townies/special human shows as mafia. You will NOT be able to tell if people are psychics/guardians/seers/governor/ect.
There will be no Night times. (cause, I hate the Night Times) In other words, I will not be locking the game for a full day. It'll be a quick announcement at midnight. Seers gets the answer to their pms. The psychic will receive his/her news. The cleric will get to have his/her response sent out. The wolves will get their kill (if the guardian does mess up.). THAT MEANS ALL YOU SPECIAL PEOPLE WITH AN ABILITY THAT REQUIRES TO PM ME--- SEND ME IT BY 12:00 midnight, my time. If you don't, you fuck up and miss your opportunity to get data.
This has been brought up to my attention:
If you're playing the game, at all times you may not do any impersonation techniques to collect information. This includes, but is not limited to, impersonating anyone on IRC, AIM, MSN, ect.
You may not use other people not playing the game as your spies.
Furthermore, when you're dead-- you shut up. You cannot tell people still in the game who've you talked to in your life, who may have betrayed you, ect. Anything said with you is taken to your grave. Failure to comply with these rules will mean indefinate temporary bans from ST and/or HS depending on how serious the offense is.

Geography at UNC Chapel Hill
The Department of Geography at UNC-Chapel Hill brings a unique perspective to the study of some of our world's most pressing concerns. With a dedicated community of scholars, staff, and students, we are committed to the highest standards of research, teaching, and public engagement. Our faculty maintains collaborations in all regions of the globe, and we draw upon these collaborations to contribute to better education and innovation amongst our students and the state of North Carolina. As educators, we embrace the UNC vision for improving our society through teaching, learning, and public service.
Geography at Carolina is consistently ranked in the top 50 geography departments in the world in various World University Ranking exercises, but our real successes can be judged by the broader impact of our research and teaching. We addresses issues of importance to local and state communities, as well as broader dynamics of regional, national and global significance. Our faculty expertise crosses fields of physical and human geography, with world-renowned research in areas as diverse as watershed ecology, climatology, medical geography, remote sensing and visualization, conservation and agriculture, globalization and political economy, and feminist and postcolonial theory. Our students, both undergraduate and graduate, contribute to the department through research, scholarship, and student organization.
Undergraduate students are able to develop a focused area of study in environmental geography, human-social geography, or geographic information science. Many participate in faculty research projects, study abroad programs, and exchange and joint degree programs with our partner universities such as those at the National University of Singapore and Kings College University of London. After graduation geographers typically go on to work in professions dealing with environmental management, urban and regional development, land-use planning, GIS and mapping, and teaching.
Graduate students concentrate their studies in one or two of five overlapping themes:
- Environmental geography and earth systems science
- Nature and society
- Geographic Information Science
- Culture, society, and space
- Globalization and international development
The Department of Geography supports the University's core values encouraging diversity and equal educational and employment opportunities throughout the University community. These values are articulated in the University's non-discrimination policy and by the office of Diversity and Multicultural Affairs. The Department also supports the University's Gender Inclusive Language Policy 9-16-09.

Yes, there was someone who stepped into Sotiris's role (of course it's quite different in nature now), I have their contact details, their name escapes me...
I would contact them directly, but I'm trying to do things via "proper channels", & am hoping that for once; "Nokia gives a shit"....

ISSUE : gconf contains pre-shared wireless (and perhaps others) passwords + keys.
ANY APPLICATION can EASILY read the keys from gconf registry and thus steal access to ANY WLAN network.
PR1.3 firmware
Take some images in summer time (daylight savings time)
load images via USB to computer
Note that the times of the files are UTC times
wait until normal time
compare time stamps of images in N9 and in computer using USB
Time stamps should be equal
times differ by one hour (= offset of daylight savings time?)
Probably connected to daylight savings time and normal time switching.
Well, I noticed the bug when I updated my backup using rsync (in my linux PC): It overwrote the existing files that it did not overwrite before. I had set rsync to skip overwriting based on modification time. Workarounds would be to set rsync (or equivalent) to skip based on size only or checksum, though the former may not be accurate, and the latter is slower.
I've been submitting bugs to harmattan-bugs, and while most of them were "assigned" (whatever that may indicate) none of them were addressed in PR1.3. It seems to me that it, and these bug reports here, were all in vein.
Not that I will ever consider buying an ultra-limiting Windows Phone device, but given how Nokia treats their premium-price-paying and involved N9 customers I will not consider buying a Nokia at all.
That's why this thread got renamed by me to "forgotten bugs memo" (in honor to another in-famous Nokian memo)
Anyhow, jokes apart, the chances to get this fixed are VERY low, according to Nokia. But still not 0.
I wonder if they have someone who CAN actually fix any of these bugs?
If not, why dont they just open a dev channel to the community - and WE make the N9 the phone it is meant to be?
I was considering offering help to Nokia to fix this issue. But I am not sure it would be considered at all from their Management.
Nokia still says in http://harmattan-bugs.nokia.com/ front page that "We will continue to develop critical bug fixes related to security, performance and reliability of the device. If you have unreported issues that fall into these categories, please do contact us through the Nokia Developer discussion forum." Also please note what a retired Nokia developer admin Ron tells at http://www.developer.nokia.com/Commu...l=1#post888267 about this thread.
I would like to report this GConf backdoor to the bugzilla as well, considering the issue _IS_ pretty critical I am sure we all agree it falls in the category of bugsOriginally Posted by Ron
that have the privilege to be posted there.
So what you think Hamishwilee, sawwy?
The canonical statement is that support is unchanged:
It is up to the program to determine what is a critical defect.We continue to monitor and assign bug fixes for the Nokia N9, selecting those that are most critical for firmware and software updates.

Revered by ancient cultures as the food of the gods, Cacao Beans were once traded as currency. We now know that Cacao products – and especially Raw Cacao Powder - are a treasure-trove of antioxidants and mood-boosting phytochemicals. Cacao Powder is made by cold-pressing cacao butter from the beans, cutting down on fat calories while still giving you all of cacao's vitamins, minerals, phytochemicals, and antioxidants. This stimulating, nutritious powder is perfect in all your recipes: hot chocolate, fudge, cookies, cakes, and raw desserts!
- Fluffy, potent cacao powder, low in fat (11%).
- Possibly one of the world's most powerful health foods, incredibly rich in antioxidants.
- Mood-Boosting, Energizing alternative to coffee.
- Easy to use in healthy chocolate recipes
More Details
Truly Raw Cacao
When we first pioneered RAW chocolate 10 years ago, our primary concern was microbial purity. Traditionally, since the cacao destined for chocolate production is cooked and heavily processed, fresh cacao beans were fermented in the open jungle, with little concern for purity. For this reason, when we pioneered RAW cacao, we had to develop pristine fermentation techniques and facilities. The explosive popularity of RAW cacao led to many copycats selling cacao that was contaminated with mold, yeast, and bacteria. As always, we use careful processing and lab testing to guarantee that our cacao is 100% free of pathogens like E. coli, staph, and salmonella.
Sun Dried Cacao Bean
Cacao beans from freshly-split pods are fermented under control at 40°C / 104°F and then washed in potable water before being solar-dried.
low-temp fermented cacao
Making Cacao Powder
The nibs are then fed into a hydraulic press that squeezes them, pressing out the buttery golden oil. After pressing the butter from the nibs, the concentrated cake left behind is low in fat (about 11%, while our Ecuadorian cacao powder is 22%).
The cacao cake is then cold-milled to a powder and then fine sieved for use as cacao powder.
Never contaminated by clarifying chemicals or solvents,it retains high levels of nutrients and antioxidants. Prior to final packing, every lot of cacao is tested at an independent lab for a full microbial analysis. These results are always available for interested customers.
Every Product has an origin
and an impact
You stand at the finish line of an amazing journey with a miraculous beginning: Soil, Water, Sunshine...and Seed. With care and craftsmanship, Life unfolds, blossoms, and thrives. No chemicals needed. Just skill, hard work, and love for the land.

UPDATE: This game has been shutdown and is no longer available
RayCity Overview
RayCity is the second free to play racing MMO to feature a persistent game world after Drift City. The game offers plenty of single player and cooperative missions to familiarize players with the controls, and unlock access to greater parts of the city. Missions also reward cash which can be used for parts upgrades and other decor. Competitive racing is the main gameplay attraction and RayCity delivers. With up to 20 participants per race, and plenty of tracks to chose from, there's always plenty to do. Like Drift City, RayCity boasts real cars, and some extreme custom designs. The gameplay is also similar; the arcade feel does take away some realism, but its way more fun boosting down the track and easily recovering from crashes than just hitting forward and making controlled turns.
Quests & Missions - Hundreds of quests and missions divided into several categories. Complete photo-taking, chase, road rage, and party missions to earn experience, items, skills, and new map areas.
Racing Mode - Race with up to 20 players on various tracks. Race modes include single, team, and guild.
Speed Racing Mode - A twice daily event where huge groups of players race between pre set points around the city. Place in the top percentiles and earn special rewards!
Race Skills - Earn experience to unlock new cars and skills. These skills include drifting, boosting, jumping, sliding, and burnout. Watching a car 'jump' is hardcore!
Car Customization - Start with a base model and customize every aspect of your car. Engines, body parts, and the exterior. Decals, paints, rims, and other accessories give each car a unique look.

RayCity Review
By, Omer Altay
After playing and enjoying Project Torque as well as various other MMO Racing games, I was a bit excited about RayCity well before the game even came out. For those of you that haven't heard of RayCity up until now, it's a 3D Racing MMO developed by Electronic Arts and published by the South East Asian publisher PlayPark (AsiaSoft). The game have gorgeous realistic graphics and an open ended virtual world similar to that in games like Drift City and the Grand Theft Auto. Frankly, just seeing another racing MMO has me all excited, as I was upset to see games like GoGo Racer, Kart N' Crazy and Kart Rider shut down. Those looking for an engaging racing MMO should definitely read on!
A somewhat Unique Experience!
Players start off their racing career in RayCity by selecting one of four starting vehicles – Thousand, iSpa, AltoQQi and BNV3i. I'm actually pretty confident that these aren't real world vehicles, but since I'm not a car enthusiast, it doesn't make a difference to me. I'm sure some gamers would have preferred vehicles in the game to resemble popular real world cars, but that isn't the case in RayCity. After choosing a car, players can create their own character's name as well as a nickname for their vehicle. Car customization options are quite limited, as players can only choose from a handful of different colors and accessories.
The entire game is set in Seoul, South Korea, where the gameplay is broken down into two different aspects. On one hand, you have the MMO aspect of the game which takes place in a persistent world city where players are free to explore and complete various quests, on the other hand you have the 'lobby based' racing experience similar to games like Project Torque and UpShift Strikeracer. In fact, for all intents and purposes the core gameplay in Ray City is identical to that of Drift City, which in my opinion is a good thing.
A Good Start!
Before being thrown into the busy streets of Seoul, players are presented with an optional tutorial. If you've ever played a racing MMO in the past, you can hit 'ESC" to skip it. The only reason I didn't skip the tutorial was because the hot anime chick explaining the basics of the game (Named Beautiful Yuna) said if you skip the tutorial, "You can't get a lovely gift from me~." Unfortunately, after completing the tutorial, the lovely gift wasn't nearly as lovely as Yuna suggested – as all I got for completing the tutorial was a few useless starting items.
After finishing the tutorial, players are given the freedom to start exploring Seoul or jumping right into street races. I recommend following the game's main storyline by talking to an NPC named 'Sunny in Danger', as questing in the game is the easiest way to earn experience and Rain (The game's currency). Like Drift City, Raycity has a boatload of quests and an infinite amount of simple drive from point A to point B style delivery quests. As players reach higher levels, they'll have access to faster cars and more advanced components to tweak their cars. The environments in RayCity are easily one of the best aspects of the game. The entire city is gorgeously designed and feels truly 'massive'. Even just driving around aimlessly can be, for a short while, an enjoyable experience.
Repetitive Questing
My single biggest complaint with RayCity is that practically every single quest in the game involves picking up a passenger and driving them from point A to point B. There are a few other kinds of quests, but whenever you're not racing against other players in the lobby based racing area, you'll find yourself picking people up and dropping them off at their destinations. The weirdest part of all this, is that the route that the game makes you take to complete a standard taxi style mission makes no sense. I often find myself driving in circles around a city block only to drop off my passenger in the exact same spot that I picked him up. In fact, this happens 90% of the time, which leads me to believe that the game's developers either really hate taxi drivers and wants to portray them in a sadistically negative light (after all, it's not uncommon for taxi drivers to take longer routes to their destinations to earn more in fares) or the game developers are just really confused. The quests are rewarding though, so it does pay to grind set aside a few hours and just grind quests.
Genuinely Fun Gameplay
Even though questing in RayCity gets repetitive quite fast, racing in the game is genuinely fun. The racing mechanics themselves are quite simple, but what makes the game fun is its excellent presentation. Movement is fluid, the background music is great and there's plenty of room for car customization. Players can spend the 'Rain' they earn through questing and racing on new vehicles or even parts to fine tune their current car. The game's competitive racing takes place in a lobby where players can enjoy 18+ tracks and 3 different game modes supporting a maximum of 20 players in a single race.
My only real complaint with the actual racing component on RayCity is that the races are far too gear dependent, meaning the player with the fastest car and best parts will usually end up winning. This is an issue that unfortunately plagues most racing games, so I can't really blame RayCity. Luckily, the game does break down channels by levels, so high level players are prevented from joining newbie games.
Really Impressive Interface
RayCity does an excellent job in presentation. Nearly all aspects of the game, aside from some poor English translations, are extremely well done. Players can easily get from one end of the city to another by simply clicking on the map, which activates the game's auto-navigation. This makes getting around Seoul convenient. Players aren't advised to use the auto-navigate during taxi missions, as most of the missions reward players for performing various 'dangerous' tricks (Like driving close to other cars, and jumping over them) as well as avoiding collisions – both of which the game's auto-navigation does rather poorly.
The game's soundtrack is also quite impressive. Most of the tunes in the game were Korean, but they seemed to fit the game's atmosphere quite well. A few of the songs were entirely in English and hearing various Korean rock bands were quite entertaining. Even though RayCity is published in South East Asia, North American and European players can sign up and enjoy the game without restriction. The game is entirely in English as well, and aside from some less than stellar translations, things are largely easy to figure out. Some of the taxi style missions are a bit ridiculous, but it adds a bit of light hearted humor to the game. One of the NPCs I had to pick up and drive to his home for a quest took a short nap at the local park and upon waking up all of his clothes were stolen. How a thief managed to take off a person's clothes while they're sleeping without waking them up is beyond me.
Final Verdict – Good
RayCity is a fun racing game with has a certain 'high quality' feel to it. The environments are gorgeous and the gameplay is straight forward and fun. Unfortunately, questing in the game is incredibly dull and I'd also like to see more variety in the game's store.

Striding: 1. Striding
Striding by Mar'isu 3/22/2006
"Elladan! Elrohir! Wait up!"
The twin lords of Imladris turned to face their thirteen year old foster brother. Elladan raised a questioning eyebrow in imitation of his father, but the young Man was too busy panting with exertion to notice.
"Let me come with you," Estel pleaded once he could breathe again.
"Can you keep up, gwador?" Elrohir asked. "We will not wait on small steps and short breath."
The boy squared his shoulders and raised his chin defiantly, "I can match pace; just watch me."
Despite the warning glare that Elladan threatened to roast him with, Elrohir shrugged as if it made no difference whether three hunters set out or only two. "If you can stay close as we track, I see no reason why you shouldn't come. It's not like you're actually going to hit anything." Elrohir teased.
A huge smile blossomed on the teen's face. "Thank you," he said, giving the elf a bear hug before dashing off to retrieve his bow.
Elladan shook his head at his younger twin. "You had to do it, didn't you?" he finally challenged.
Elrohir blinked in false innocence. "And what have I done?"
"'Hope will fly if given wings,'" the saying rang true in more ways than one, "and you, mellon, just made an eagle of him."
"By Manwë, Aragorn, can you not hurry?" Legolas came darting back to his traveling companion. "At this rate, I shall be old 'ere we cross Nimrodel."
The young Ranger smiled at the impatient prince. "It is but a half-day's journey to the Golden Wood," he remarked.
"Yes, and Arien has already turned for home," Legolas replied, walking backwards to glare at his friend. "I am not sleeping on the ground tonight, Arathornion."
"Peace, Legolas," Aragorn soothed, maintaining his pace. "We will reach Lothlórien by nightfall, and there is no need to push ourselves to arrive earlier."
"Ah, but we shall miss the farewell feast," the Mirkwood prince murmured, as if to himself.
"What was that, mellon?" Aragorn asked.
The young elf shrugged. "It is nothing, mellon nin. I had heard that the Evenstar was visiting her grandmother but returning home soon. No matter." Having said that, Legolas shot forward, eager light shining in his eyes.
Aragorn smiled and lengthened his stride. It would not do to be left behind again.
Before the éored could pursue the wildmen, a shout went up from the edge of the camp. The grooms tried in vain to calm frightened horses, but one had broken his tether and was fleeing the camp with speed born of terror.
"Thengel King!" the master of horses cried, distressed. "The colt!"
Before Thengel could even think, the Ranger who had recently joined their company took off running in the direction the horse had taken. Rohirrim noble and commoner alike watched in awe as the dark figure chased the white horse . . . and caught him. With a final sprint and a touch to the neck, the man had the gleaming animal still.
The high-spirited colt tossed its head, but allowed the Ranger to take hold of its lead rope and draw it back to the group.
"He has a good heart," Aragorn murmured half about the colt, half to it. "But it is not meant for battle."
"My lord, how did you catch him?" The horsemaster took the harness, stroking the spooked colt on the nose. "Snowmane was sired by a Mearas, and his dam was Lightfoot, one of our swiftest horses. Surely we should call you Wingfoot for such a display."
"I have pursued others just as swift," the newly christened Wingfoot replied, reaching up to absentmindedly stroke the silver pendant he wore about his neck.
"My Lord Thorongil!" Gondor's captain checked his pace as he heard his name shouted behind him. The star broach on his right shoulder bumped slightly against his collarbone as Thorongil executed a smooth turn.
Denethor smiled as he approached the soldier. "You walk as though Umbar itself is fleeing from you," he commented. "There is no need to chase what is fixed in place."
"But not in time," Thorongil replied. "I would see Gondor safe, and soon. Before . . ." The captain trailed off, slightly distressed at to whom he had almost revealed himself.
"Before you claim what is yours," the Steward's son whispered.
"I claim nothing," Thorongil answered, hand automatically hovering over the pendant hanging beneath his leather shirt. "I have no right, not anymore."
"You mean 'not yet,'" Denethor corrected.
The Dúnadan sat in the Hall of Fire, smoking a pipe with his dear friend and recounting some of his adventures. Eventually, as it always seemed to do with Aragorn, the talk had fallen to names as a new round of "Label the Ranger" had come up.
"Quite frankly, I preferred Longshanks," Aragorn mused. "The older inhabitants of Bree still call me that, but the younger . . ."
"Oh, you have to admit they're right," Bilbo chuckled. "The way you go stalking up and down the Wilds as if life itself won't wait for you." The elderly hobbit shook his head. "There's just no two ways about it, my friend. You are a 'Strider.'"
"'Twill be another twenty years ere I can shed that name," Strider groaned.
"Likely," Bilbo agreed, enjoying his friend's resigned sigh. "And by then, who knows? Perhaps the King will come again."
"Perhaps," Estel murmured.

Unmatched Among Chameleons?
Photograph courtesy Frank Glaw
Match-tip tiny, Brookesia micra (juvenile pictured) is the smallest of four new chameleon species found on the African island country of Madagascar. With an average adult length of just over an inch (2.9 centimeters) from snout to tail, B. micra is among the tiniest reptiles in the world.
(Related: "Record-Breaking Chameleons Live Only a Few Months.")
Scientists think the diminutive new chameleon species might represent extreme cases of island dwarfism, whereby organisms shrink in size due to limited resources on islands.
"The extreme miniaturization of these dwarf reptiles might be accompanied by numerous specializations of the body plan, and this constitutes a promising field for future research," study leader Frank Glaw of Germany's Zoological State Collection said in a statement.
The new chameleon species study was published this week in the journal PLoS ONE.

Scientists think Brookesia micra (juvenile pictured) might have achieved its small size through a "double" island dwarfism effect, in which the dwarf species Brookesia minima on the Madagascan resort island of Nosy Be found its way to an islet, Nosy Hara, where it shrank even further.
"In this scenario, Madagascar, as a large island, led to the evolution of the Brookesia minima group, whereas the ... islet Nosy Hara might have favored the extreme miniaturization found in Brookesia micra," the researchers write.

Not Amused?

On Madagascar a member of the newly discovered chameleon species Brookesia desperata peers at a photographer through widely spaced eyes.
The small sizes of the four new chameleon species make them especially vulnerable to habitat destruction, and some of their names were chosen to reflect this. The latter part of B. desperata's name, for example, means "desperate" in Latin.
"Its habitat is in truth barely protected and subject to numerous human-induced environmental problems resulting in severe habitat destruction, thus threatening the survival of the species," the scientists write.
Another species was named B. tristis, or "sorrowful"—a reference to "the fact that the entire known range of this species suffers from severe deforestation and habitat destruction."

Although the four new chameleon species look very similar (B. micra pictured), genetic analyses suggest the reptiles are in fact different species, according to the new study, published Wednesday.

Seemingly embodying her species' new name—B. confidens, or "confident"—a female chameleon stares down a camera lens. The nomenclature, though, has little to do with the reptile itself.
Scientists chose the name because—unlike some of the other newly discovered chameleon species—B. confidens's range is a well-protected nature preserve, and the animal's home is not in immediate danger of habitat destruction by humans.

Unfortunately the only thing i see coming from this discover is a new craze in developed natures for this miniature creature.
tanks god
Island drawfism seems logical.. Each generation is smaller and smaller because of lack of food and other resources, and somehow they hold on, just getting smaller..
I find it fascinating that the creature this small maintains the structure of the large variety. Often such miniature scale seems to produce a different and less complex structure. Look at its complex eyes, skeletal structure and typical chameleon chromatophore. Basically as if a shrink ray existed.
There is a terrible double-edged danger here, first the forests of Madagascar are almost all gone and the mega fauna (think giant panda or African Elephant) that would have made the island famous, the elephant bird (that's right) and the giant lemur (as big as a gorilla and also a plant eater) have both been wiped out by the usual suspect since the dawn of the Christian era, in just the last 2000 years. Now we know where these little critters are we will try to protect some piece of land where they live and by the same token the international illegal wildlife syndicates will move in to catch every one they can by what ever methods work best no matter the cost to the critters' environment. From the inability of the island's government to protect anything there except its' own existence (recent coup) and the inability of the international community to protect things as big as rhinos, I think discovering and then publicizing the existence of these charmers was something akin to giving the species a death sentence.
simply awesome and amazing. What is the life cycle of the small creature ?
wow so small what did they eat?
Those look like they would be great for salad toppings, yum!
this is a great picture! Amazing to know they exist!
soooo cute :))

Wow, they would make great pets....really low maintainance...they don't eat much and need very little cleaning!! :-)

Quantifying Luck in Head-to-Head Fantasy Leagues
If you've played fantasy football you know that success is somewhat dependent on luck.
Teams face off in head-to-head matchups and the higher scoring team wins (i.e., a team wins if it happens to be matched up against a lower scoring team during that particular week). If you post the second-highest score in your league during a particular week, you still lose if you are matched up against the highest scoring team. That's bad luck. Meanwhile, a low-scoring owner can luck out by facing an even worse owner.
Sports league scheduling is a dissertation unto itself (and a multi-billion dollar business when it comes to scheduling games for professional and college leagues) but in its simplest form, a fantasy league's schedule is a round-robin tournament among the owners. (Fleaflicker's scheduling algorithm is a bit more sophisticated, balancing inter- and intra-divisional matchups according to user specifications.)
During any given season, the ordering of the matchups is random. The schedule introduces an element of luck to an owner's win-loss record.
There are several ways to quantify this luck.
The brute-force approach is to enumerate all conceivable schedules for an owner and tally the results of each to yield a probability distribution for wins. For example, in a 12-team league in which each owner faces every other owner exactly once, there are 11! possible schedules for each team (this isn't entirely accurate--there are actually far fewer ways to schedule the league correctly for all teams--but from a single owner's perspective there are 11! possible schedules).
A less computationally-intensive approach is to compare each matchup's outcome to the probability of beating any owner in the league. For example, an owner who posts the league's lowest score has a 100% chance of losing that week--no luck is involved. An owner who posts the 2nd-lowest score of the week has a 1/11 chance of winning and a 10/11 chance of losing. If the owner lost, the owner was the victim of a tiny bit of bad luck. But a victory means the owner was the beneficiary of a lot of good luck.
(We added a luck column to your team schedule page so you can see this effect on your fantasy teams. Here is mine for a particularly lucky season.)
Can scheduling luck affect a fantasy owner's fortunes?
Across all 2008 Fleaflicker leagues, teams were involved in 3 luck games on average (games involving 50%+ luck as defined above).
Call a team lucky if it finished at least 2 games over .500 in luck matchups and unlucky if it finished at least 2 games under .500 in luck matchups. 20% of all teams last season were lucky and 20% were unlucky (so about 5 teams in a 12-team league were affected by luck).
Call a team good if it finished in the top-third of the league and bad if it finished in the bottom-third. 22% of good teams were lucky and 16% were unlucky while 18% of bad teams were lucky and 21% were unlucky.
Taking it one step further, call a team very lucky if it finished at least 3 games over .500 in luck matchups and very unlucky if it finished at least 3 games under .500 in luck matchups. 8% of all teams last season were very lucky and 8% were very unlucky.
10% of good teams were very lucky and 5% were very unlucky; 7% of the bad teams were very lucky and 9% were very unlucky.

My brain... it hurts!
InSpades Aug 27 '75
You could have just said something like:
+/- 0-30%: Luck did not have much to do with your win/loss
+/- 30-50%: You were a little lucky/unlucky to win/lose this game
+/- 50-70%: You were definitely lucky/unlucky to win/lose this game
+/- 70%+: You were VERY lucky/unlucky to win/lose this game!
I would have made understand a lot easier! :)
InSpades Aug 27 '75
Okay, after, obviously, losing my grasp of the English language with the last line of this post (It should have read: "It would have made understanding a lot easier") I hate to make mention of a grammatical error. But, when you roll your mouse over the Luck column header the last line reads: "that is bad very luck"
I'm sorry to say, that is bad very grammar. ;)

Storm huffs and puffs through Maine High winds knock out Internet service at SHS
Thursday, February 7, 2013
SANFORD — A wind storm that swept through Maine last Thursday brought gusts of more than 50 miles per hour that knocked out power to more than 110,000 homes and businesses in Central Maine Power's service area before it was over.
In Old Town, the wind ripped a metal roof off a business, and in Bath large sections of a copper roof on the Maine Maritime Museum were ripped off by gusts as high as 63 miles per hour, according to WGME television. And in Franklin, which is just east of Ellsworth, the steeple was blown off the United Methodist Church on Main Street, according to the Bangor Daily News.

Phoronix: Canonical Working On Mir's Performance, Mir On Mir
This past week Canonical developers made a little more progress on their Mir Display Server stack and the next-generation Unity desktop interface...
So when will the first version of Unity 8 and Mir will land in Saucy? Anytime soon?
I can't wait to test it!
The mobile Unity 8 shell with Mir will be avaible for the desktop as an option for Ubuntu 13.10.
The Unity 8 desktop shell is coming with 14.04.
I like that many of the new features I read about are the ability to test and analyze MIR while they are still developing it. One thing Canonical is doing right is doing thier due diligence to make sure MIR and Unity8 are well tested during thier development and not just tested after development. Get the bugs out now while they are easy to see and not coded around.
It's not hard to see that Michael really really doesn't like Mir.
Hey Michael, how about at least trying to be objective when you talk about canonical and Mir in particular?
