Recent Grants
National Park Service Cooperative Agreement: IDA signed a cooperative agreement with the National Park Service (NPS) in December 2010 to upgrade lighting in nine national parks. Innovative lighting designs will be installed in 2012 that will protect wildlife and nocturnal habitats while providing safety and security to evening visitors. Under the terms of the agreement, IDA will conduct lighting analyses and develop lighting plans for each park; order dark sky friendly lighting fixtures; and assist with the installation of the lighting. The nine parks participating in the project are: Canyon De Chelly (Arizona); Chiricahua (Arizona); Homestead (Nebraska); Mojave (California); Redwood (California); Cedar Breaks (Utah); Craters of the Moon (Idaho); Morristown Historical Park (New Jersey); and Tallgrass Prairie (Kansas).
IDA will also develop best practice outdoor lighting design standards for parks and natural environments.
The work will be completed in 2013.
The Fred Maytag Family Foundation. In January 2012, the Fred Maytag Family Foundation awarded a $25,000 grant to IDA for its Dark Sky Parks and Protected Areas Program (DSPPA). This program will expand the work that IDA began under the National Park Service Cooperative Agreement to other national and state parks that would like to upgrade their lighting but don't have funds to do so. The program will also work with parks, both in the US and around the world, that are interested in applying for anInternational Dark Sky Places (IDSP) designation.

How to Select
How to Shop for Home Intercom System
Having an intercom system is quite a convenience, especially if you live in a large home where it could take too many minutes to locate a family member. Intercoms also come in handy if you have small children since they can be strategically placed to monitor a child's nursery. More often than not, these home intercom systems are also used to screen visitors from your house or apartment before releasing the front door lock and allowing them to come into the building. Offering increased safety and security, intercom systems are even required under law in some states.
Older home intercom systems came with units wired to a master unit. Modern wireless systems are not tethered by wires and can be carried from room to room, also having the advantage of faster setup and installation times.
Several kinds of intercoms are available, each with different functions and advantages. Voice/radio intercom systems occupy a mid-range price/capability position. Many of them are limited to half-duplex communication, but some of them allow for full-duplex communication meaning that you and your interlocutor can talk simultaneously instead of alternating. Voice/radio intercom units usually have built-in AM/FM radio receivers that can play can pick up AM/FM radio signals from the master unit. Some models can even play CDs.
There also are video intercom systems that combine both video capture and a voice intercom. They are employed mainly for identifying a caller at a doorway through sight and sound and can come with a single built-in camera with a wide-angle lens or a few external cameras in multiple locations. Such an intercom can provide a one-way video feed with only one video screen in the master unit or two-way video communication where both the inside and outside devices feature video displays. Video intercoms have the advantage of letting you see and hear who stands at your door before buzzing someone in.
A home intercom can be as simple as a system consisting of two units with a microphone, loudspeaker and call button, or as complex as programmable multi-station systems with a keypad, display window, multiple channels and auxiliary inputs, as well as a multitude of other features. Whatever intercom suits you and your lifestyle best, this system allows for maximum security, baby-monitoring, convenient and easy communication without having to yell or scream and lets you enjoy your favorite music throughout the entire home.

It's one of the most hostile hacker environments in the country –- the DefCon hacker conference held every summer in Las Vegas.
But despite the fact that attendees know they should take precautions to protect their data, federal agents at the conference got a scare on Friday when they were told they might have been caught in the sights of an RFID reader.
The reader, connected to a web camera, sniffed data from RFID-enabled ID cards and other documents carried by attendees in pockets and backpacks as they passed a table where the equipment was stationed in full view.Read »

Tre Bicchieri Winners
October 18, 2010 at 9:22 am 3 comments
Just announced are the 2011 Tre Bicchieri winners, the top rated Italian wines of the past year, as judged by the editors and tasters of Gambero Rosso, that country's most famous wine publication. Here is the link
As always, lists such as this will be debated and my list will be different in some cases than that of Gambero Rosso (and so will just about every Italian wine lover's). But it's certainly an excellent list and one that highlights every region in Italy, so good for them!
Rather than bring up wines that I thought should have made the list, I want to focus briefly on a few wines I am most excited to see receive the award (an honor that carries a great deal of weight in Italy as well as some influence in America). To start with, I am excited that my friend Davide Rosso has finally been awarded a Tre Bicchieri: this is for the Giovanni Rosso 2006 Barolo Ceretta. This is good news for three reasons: first, Rosso has been crafting some beautiful Barolos from Serralunga vineyards for several years now, so this award may finally give him some overdue attention. Secondly, Gambero Rosso is in total agreement on this wine with me – I rated this wine as one of the top 10 Barolos from 2006 that I have tasted to date (out of 125) – so I guess great minds think alike! Third, taste this wine and see if you don't agree with me that this is an sublime Barolo that is floral with appealing fruit and elegant tannins. 2006 was an old-fashioned vintage with deep concentration and big tannins, so the wines will age for quite some time, but this wine is going to be more drinkable over the short term than most of its competitors. By the way, this is a traditionally aged Barolo in botti grandi – it is a gorgeous traditional Barolo. Complimenti, Davide!

Gambero Rosso also agrees with me on several other 2006 Barolos, most notably the Ceretto Bricco Rocche, Vietti Rocche and the Renato Ratti Rocche (note: the Rocche vineyard of Ratti is located in La Morra, while the Rocche of the other two wineries is in Castiglione Falletto.) These are superb wines with impressive concentration and structure; expect them to be at their best in 20-plus years. It is also nice to see Gambero give their highest award to the 2006 Ascheri Barolo Sorano Coste e Bricco; this is an elegant, polished Barolo that is only produced in the finest vintages and one I've loved for some time now. I didn't have the 2006 rendering of this wine rated as high as previous vintages (such as 2004), but no mind, I have it rated as excellent and it's nice to see Matteo Ascheri receive this honor.
Briefly, I think GR missed the boat on a few bottlings of 2004 Brunello di Montalcino Riserva, but I am pleased to see that they did honor the Canalicchio di Sopra and Caprili, two excellent estates that make their wine in a traditional style. I'm also pleased to see the 2004 Lisini Brunello di Montalcino Ugolaia get the award; this winery just keeps improving year after year.
Other wines I'm delighted to note received a Tre Bicchieri:
- Pieropan Soave Classico Calvarino 2008
- Inama Soave Classico Foscarino 2008
- Agostino Vicentini Soave Superiore Il Casale 2009
- Castello di Cacchiano Chianti Classico Riserva 2006
- Monsanto Chianti Classico Riserva Il Poggio 2006
- Panizzi Vernaccia di San Gimignano Riserva 2007
- Feudi di San Gregorio Fiano di Avellino Pietracalda 2009
- Villa Diamante Fiano di Avellino Villa di Congregazione 2008
- Mastroberardino Taurasi 2006 and Taurasi Riserva 2004
Of course, there are many other wines that I'd like to salute, but can't list, given space limitations. But let me note one final wine, one you wouldn't think would get the same honor as a wine such as Sassicaia or Ornellaia. The wine is the 2009 Cantine Lunae Bosoni Vermentino Nera, a rosé from this exemplary estate in Liguria. What's that you say, a rosé from Liguria being rated as one of the year's best Italian wines? Well it's true and in my mind, it deserves the award. I tasted this wine at VinItaly this past April and loved the wine and reported about it in a previous post.
Including a Ligurian rosé is an excellent decision by Gambero Rosso and proof of the tremendous variety and outstanding quality of Italian wine being produced throughout the country today. Who says Italy only makes great red wines?

Nice to see Monsanto Il Poggio on the list again…
15 – 20 years ago, when I was at the Village, we had Il Poggio back to 1968, not every vintage, but pretty close. And not just a bottle of each, at least a case, but there were sometimes 5 cases of the best vintages. We did a dinner in the late 90s with Laura Bianchi and poured the 68 and 72 among others. The '68 was available wholesale at over $1500/case at the time of the dinner. We didn't pay anywhere near that price.
Sunday October 31st, at Citta del Gusto in Naples, Italy, there will be a grande gala to celebrate Campania's winners…I'll let you know how it goes.

Zha Jiang Mian on Spaghetti
I was intrigued by this recipe for Zha Jiang Mian. I searched the internet and took a look at a few other recipes for the dish and came up with a this one. This recipe seems to be fairly similar to Mabo Tofu. (Which I will have to make again sometime soon.) The sauce was a nice mixture of sweet, hot and spicy. I used spaghetti noodles this time but next time I might try udon noodles.
1 teaspoon sesame oil
1 tablespoon garlic (minced)
1 tablespoon ginger (minced)
1 pound ground pork
2 tablespoons hoisen sauce
1 teaspoon chili and garlic sauce
1 tablespoon black bean sauce
1 tablespoons hsiao xing
1 teaspoon honey
2 green onions (chopped)
1 serving noodles (cooked)
Possible Toppings:
1 cucumber (julienned)
1 handful beansprouts (blanched)
1 carrot (julienned and blanched)
1. Heat oil in a pan.
2. Add garlic and saute for 30 seconds.
3. Add ginger and saute for 30 seconds.
4. Add pork and break it up.
5. Add hoisen sauce, hsiao xing, black bean sauce, chili sauce and honey.
6. Finish browning the pork.
7. Add the green onions and remove from heat.
8. Place the sauce on the noodles and add toppings.

This cleansing Formula helps to detoxify your body naturally. Earthrise Green Blends Cleansing Formula - contains a meaningful combination of Earthrise Spirulina, Chlorella, Barley Grass, Wheat Grass, Alfalfa and other natural greens for detoxification.
Supplement Facts:
Take 1 teaspoon (3.5 g) per day. Mix with juice or a smoothie. For optimum freshness, close the lid tightly after use.
Store in a cool, dry place out of the reach of children. If you have a medical condition or are on medication consult a physician before using this or any other supplement.
I have tried many Acidophilus formulas that seem to calm things for a few weeks or months. THIS formula stops the intestinal issues; smoothes things in my colon, watches over fungi growth and in all ways makes my insides feel "normal". I think the added Psyllium and the Digestive Enzyme complex make the whole combination work so well. Besides, I don't need to drink psyllium or chew as many digestive enzymes!
I've been suffering with IBS all of my life. I heard about this product on the radio, bought it, and from that very first pill, I have not had one bout with diarrhea. I can go out to dinner with my wife and enjoy a nice meal, without hurrying home. To prove how confident I am now, I actually ate a polish dog from a gas station and had no ill effects whatsoever. I am not a paid spokesman for this product, but I highly recommend it for anyone who is suffering needlessly.
Nervous stomachs and digestive ailments run in my family. I used to get terrible gastritis attacks and tried several other OTC products including one or two from a local herbal shop. All worked ok and were better than the alternative. When my GP urged me to use Sustenex, I did and that did the trick.
After taking an antibiotic I had a sore in the corner of my mouth that would not heal. The condition is called Angular Chelitis. It is like a paper cut. Apparently it caused by an overgrowth of yeast in the body. It is very common to take an antibiotic and end up with a yeast infection.
I had used a similar product 40 years ago when my children were little for cancer sores. Their ped's doc recommended it. Bottom Line, I took the Floranex for 2 days as directed and the sore healed. I know these sores are a common thing that happen and even the pharmacist didn't push this product. The price is right and the results are almost like magic.
This product has literally changed my life. I suffer from IBS and my symptoms are so much more handleable than before. I have noticed a significant difference in cramping and urgency. I started taking just 1 capsule at night, but I think after 2 months I will start to take 2 nightly. Although these capsules are a little pricey, they are well worth every penny. I feel normal most days, which is a huge improvement from 2 months ago when I never wanted to leave my house.

To avoid having to license it, you could always ship your product without the exFAT driver installed, and prompt the user to automatically download and install the GLPed driver whenever an exFAT formated device is connected. Requiring end user intervention to download the driver, I believe you can circumvent all patent issues.
Anyway, the good thing about this free driver is that if someone ships the product with the GPL exFAT code, he cannot negotiate with Microsoft any licensing that involves "per device licenses", even if he wanted to, as the GPL prohibits it. This means that the license could not cover the only the defendant but everyone in the free software community whose products are derived from that GPL.

Support on all windows systems for the past 12 (?) years or more without patches that may or not be installed, read-only part of the linux kernel (and others), every decent distro ships ntfs-3g for full rw support, OSX can read it too, write support is in there somewhere but disabled by default, and it can also use ntfs-3g.
So really, why bother with exfat, if you can avoid it. Microsoft had a real chance to promote interoperability, and they decided against it. Again.
Duh... sorry, my friend, that's not how it works.
Distribution is distribution is distribution. It makes no difference if you pre-install it, supply physical media, or have people download it from the interwebz. Its still in violation of copyright/patent/etc.

For some users this would be great. I know myself, for my desktop computer, I would love this. Not so much for my server though, but I would assume Ubuntu will still have the regular LTS release every two years.
Bring it on I say.
Phoronix: Ubuntu To Turn Into A Rolling-Release Distribution?
There's been a lot of Ubuntu announcements coming down the pipe lately from ditching the GNOME Shell in favor of their own Canonical-developed Unity desktop to eventually shipping with the Wayland Display Server instead of X.Org. Here's another interesting one: Ubuntu may become a rolling-release distribution...
For some users this would be great. I know myself, for my desktop computer, I would love this. Not so much for my server though, but I would assume Ubuntu will still have the regular LTS release every two years.
Bring it on I say.
Combined with a LTS release every other year... yes, I'd appreciate that.
This is a great idea! The system core might be kept in a locked version, but for most user-visible apps there's no problem in having the latest version also available.
Why should I wait months to get a new version of my IM client, or my music player?
You can already kind-of get this with the openSUSE build service, but that's pretty unsupported and you have to tread carefully. (I run various openSUSE versions, but all have latest KDE and Firefox, for example.)
If this were to really happen I'd pull a McDonald's: I'd be loving it.
It annoys me to no end to have to reinstall every 6 months if I want to update. In fact, I've been thinking about moving away from Kubuntu (for a KDE4-based rolling distro) because of the reinstalling.
And yes I'm aware that strictly speaking, there is support for a nice ol' sudo aptitude update && sudo aptitude full-upgrade but I've seen it go wrong too many times on Kubuntu to trust that process for updating to a new Kubuntu release.
This would be a good thing. If they did this and it proved to better meet the fine line between cutting-edge/stability, I would definitely consider switching back to Ubuntu on at least 1 or 2 of my machines.
I wonder how this would affect Mint.
There used to be the backports repository, and that worked well in the past. With newer releases, however, backported packages decreased a lot, only 3 now for 10.10:
I don't know if this is a good thing for Ubuntu, since if they're aiming to be easy to use then I think this is a step backwards. Users will have to deal with all kinds of issues, and not just bugs in newer packages. In Gentoo sometimes libraries just break, so your application won't run because it can't find the library and you have to run revdep-rebuild once in a while.
I use Gentoo, so I love rolling release, but I don't think it's the right way to go for most people.
As someone who maintains PPA's, this is much appreciated and can't come soon enough. I don't think I'll stop using aptosid as my main distro, but I may start using Ubuntu for more than packaging purposes again.
sounds like a march towards newer stuff and easier testing. however api breaks will have to be addressed carefully i guess. still grea news
hell must have frozen!

Santa Maria schools were all placed on lockdown just before 1:30 p.m. Thursday as a precautionary measure.
Santa Maria Police assisted the Santa Barbara County Sheriff's Office in chasing a vehicle believed to be driven by a robbery suspect.
Police say during the lockdown, a child at Fesler Elementary School contacted a family member. The family member misinterpreted the student as saying they were on lockdown because a man was on campus with a gun. The family member contacted the police who secured the perimeter surrounding the campus. The police did not find a gunman and talked with the student who had placed the call.
Police want to stress that at no time was there any danger to the students.

Women in History
Women's History is celebrated in March. Try these three recent books by and about special women.
The Immortal Life of Henrietta Lacks
Henrietta Lacks, or HeLa to scientists and physicians, was a poor tobacco farmer from the tiny community of Clover in Halifax County, Virginia. She worked the same land as her slave ancestors until she moved to Baltimore with her husband. Lacking an education and prospects, she found her main focus in life in holding her family of five children together, yet her cells--taken without her knowledge--became one of the most remarkable tools of modern medicine. During treatment for cervical cancer at Johns Hopkins, a researcher scraped some of her cells for study. These were the first "immortal" human cells grown outside the body and reproduced over and over again, and they are still alive today, more than sixty years after Henrietta's death. HeLa cells furnished the vital tools for developing the polio vaccine, in vitro fertilization, cloning, and gene mapping, for researching causes of cancer and viruses, and have been bought and sold by the billions. They have been known to every medical student for decades. Yet Henrietta Lacks is buried in an unmarked grave. Her family did not learn of her immortality or her role in scientific research until more than twenty years after her death, when scientists began using her husband and children in research without their informed consent. This is the compelling story of Henrietta and her family, especially her daughter Deborah, and their link to a chain of experiments on African Americans, the birth of bioethics, and the legal battles over whether we control our own bodies. Author Rebecca Skloot first heard about HeLa cells when she was in a community college class for alternative school students and became curious about the identity of the donor of the cells known only as HeLa. This book is the result of years of investigative work to flesh out the cells' structure with a name and a history. A fascinating story that I found impossible to put down, this is Booklist's Top of the List for best adult nonfiction of 2010. It would appeal to readers who enjoy biography, history, or science, and could inspire teens to develop an interest in medical research. (Laurie Roberts)
The Grace of Silence
Michele Norris, the cohost of National Public Radio's "All Things Considered" set out to write a book about "the hidden conversation on race" that is going on in this country. Along the way she unearthed painful family secrets that compelled her to question her own self-understanding; she traveled extensively to explore her own complex racial legacy. Her exploration is informed by hundreds of interviews with ordinary Americans and their observations about evolving attitudes toward race in America.
The Brave Escape of Edith Wharton
Edith Wharton was born in 1862 to Lucretia and George Frederic Jones. The expression "Keeping up with the Joneses" originated with her family. They represented wealth and high social status. Edith grew up during an era when it was believed that if a woman were to learn a lot it would affect her health in a negative way. It was also believed that it was detrimental for a woman to be intelligent because this would prevent her from being married. Women were to learn only what was needed. Edith's mother worried about her daughter because from the time she began to speak she made up stories. Edith would hold a book and proceed to speak stories from her sensitive nature and vivid imagination. At the age of six, her dad began to teach her the alphabet and then words like cat and dog. One day she was sitting quietly with one of her father's books. Her parents asked her what she was doing and she told them she was reading. Teasing, they asked her to read and, to their astonishment, she began to read from the book, which was a play about a prostitute. Edith had taught herself to read. They quickly found her more appropriate material and carefully monitored which books she read. Edith devoured all the adult classics. She spent those first ten years mostly in Europe and she learned to speak Italian, French and German. She also loved to write, but had to hide this from her mother for a long time except for a few poems that were more acceptable. I was captivated by this story. It was very interesting to me how this young woman learned to navigate within her society. She continued to educate herself by finding mentors and seeking out conversation with intelligent men. Edith was persistent in following her dream to be an author, eventually becoming one of the most successful writers of her time, publishing under her own name. I was especially moved to see how this wealthy young woman as she grew older was transformed as a result of her experiences of World War I into a deeply compassionate woman. She decided to remain in France during the war and established a place where first twenty, and then fifty, seamstresses and secretaries out of work could earn money and a meal each day. The numbers continued to grow. Edith also established a charity that helped refugees, a daycare for children suffering from tuberculosis and she made contributions to many other charitable organizations, writing friends in the U. S. to keep them abreast of what was happening in Europe, seeking to engage their involvement. Edith Wharton was an incredible woman, with failings, faults, successes and strengths. She persevered overcoming many seemingly impossible obstacles. This story will warm your heart and inspire you. If you enjoy biographies and are interested in seeing how a woman could evolve during this period in history, then you will love this book. (Jeanne Denton)

Another addition should be editable menus for the mouse buttons.
Phoronix: KDE 4.10 Will Support Menu Buttons In The Title Bar
A number of interesting features have been merged into KDE's KWin compositing window manager for the next KDE release. One of the features just added is support for merging the menu buttons into the menu/title bar, in order to save vertical screen real estate...
Another addition should be editable menus for the mouse buttons.
I never understood the recent push to title bar buttons. If we were using 800x600 resolution displays, then sure, it would be important, but now... Well, I suppose more choices don't hurt. Hopefully it won't be on by default, though.
Does it play well with wayland, where decorations are client side?
What I think would be interesting is a plugin that does a crude ribbon bar. I know a lot of people hate it (I used to myself) but there are points where it is more handy than a standard menu. Since this would be automatic for every program, it obviously can't be as dynamic and feature rich as a ribbon that was made intentionally but it should be easily doable.
The option looks very nice. Most KDE apps have the most important functions in the navigation bar, making the menus useless most of the time. This option just puts the menus in a drop down menu when you click on the button in the window decoration of that window. I feel it's a very clever use of appmenu (versus having a global menu-bar).
Another new option is to have the menu autohide until you put the mouse on the top of the screen (sort of like a panel set to autohide).
Last edited by CTown; 01-14-2013 at 03:29 PM.
Crude ribbon bars already exist, they are called icon bars with adjustable height. Not all programs support that (oddly enough), but at least those that use KDE UIs have it:
Something like the megamenus concept for gnome.
is much better than the osx ripoff of global menus.

I agree about the virtual desktops, but unfortunately not everyone uses them even when they have the option.
Will this mean that Firefox can finally have the same cool orange menu button in Linux as it does in Windows?

Don Henley And Others Among 2013 Rock Hall Inductors
Friday, January 25, 2013
The first inductors for April 18th's Rock and Roll Hall of Fame ceremony have been announced. Foo Fighters Dave Grohl and Taylor Hawkins will induct Rush, Don Henley will induct Randy Newman, John Mayer will induct blues great Albert King, and he along with Guy Clark Jr. will perform in his King's honor. Both Christina Aguilera and Jennifer Hudson will perform for Donna Summer. There's been no word as to who will do the honors for the other 2013 inductees -- Heart, Public Enemy, or Lou Adler and Quincy Jones who will receive the prestigious Ahmet Ertegun Award.
This year's ceremony will be held on April 18th at L.A.'s Nokia Theater, and like last year's induction in Cleveland, tickets will be available to the public. A truncated version of the evening's events will air on HBO on May 18th.
Taylor Hawkins is one of many modern rock artists who paid tribute to Rush in the 2010 documentary Rush: Beyond The Lighted Stage. Guitarist Alex Lifeson told us that he was touched by the outpouring of respect and love: "Seeing all those other musicians, and hearing them say the things that they said about us was really moving. I mean, I was blown away. They spoke very eloquently about what the band meant to them and they seemed to be really right on, the way we've always thought about what we do and how we like to be presented."
Heart's Ann Wilson told us that during the band's acceptance speech, she and sister Nancy Wilson plan to talk about the importance that gender played -- both as an obstacle and an attribute -- to Heart lasting all this time: "It's going to be really, really amazing to get up there and talk about that. (To) say a thing or two about that. And I don't know what we're going to say up there yet, but this was really hard for a lot of reasons that a lot of dude rockers don't (laughs) understand , but it's very sweet, 'cause I guess this shows that we did kick some doors down, or at least kick 'em open a little bit."

I think that Margaery is no longer a maiden. She was married to Renly for too long. Renly may be gay, but he was all ready to go on his wedding night according to Lady Merryweather. He was dumb but he wasn't so dumb as to leave that particular deed undone.
The only way that I can see Cersei getting out of her little jam is finding out about Arys Oakhart being dead and making the Mountain in the dungeons one of the Kingsguard. If that is the case, Margaery also would use him as a champion, and she would get out as well.

As for Cersei utilizing Mountainstein for her champion, I think you are right. But I don't think he will stick around to defend the young queen.

favorite things
favorite confirmation of something I'd suspected: Jeyne Westerling's mama was a no-good bitch, giving her daughter contraceptives on the sly
favorite thing I figured out for the first time: the "younger brother" Cersei dreads is not Tyrion -- it's Jaime!
favorite totally new plot twist: Doran Martell scheming to bring back the Targaryens
favorite what-on-earth-is-going-on: Pate ("like the pig boy") same person at end of book as at beginning, looks like. serious weirdness there
and also I thought the teaser chapter from Dragons was fabulous. that GRRM always making his fantasy world more complex than you expect
November 8th, 2005, 12:36 AM #65Originally Posted by asmah
2- yes, I thought Jaime at first, too, since Cersei popped out first, but the Maegi says the "volonquar" will strangle her pale white throat with his bare hands... Last time I looked, Jaime was missing an appendage- seems like he'd have a helluva time using that golden claw for much more than holding a goblet.
ALSO- the Maegi never says "your volonqar" only "the volonqar" so it may be somebody else's little bro.
just a thot
3- I'm looking forward to our gowty prince kicking some u know what. I think he's sly as a fox, with much more story comin'
4- Pate is the same in the beginning as Pate is in the end. And I believe if you asked J'qar about him you'd find some truths but maybe that's just me grasping
November 8th, 2005, 12:05 PM #66
Great forum. Frankly, I missed most of these theories the first time I read the books, be they large (Jon Snow's father) or small (Sandor is alive!).
Any other examples of reverse names such as the Alleras/Sarella character(s)?
I have my own theory to contribute. Whose head was sent to Dorne? I doubt it is Gregor's, for a number of reasons. We know that the Frankenmountain is not headless (as preposterous as that sounds) because of Sansa's vision (stone giant, blood from mouth, etc.). The idea that Martin would have Qyburn switching heads on the Mountain's body sounds a little off to me.
So whose head is it? Well, Cersei seems to take delight in the head that is ultimately sent, and she isn't happy very often. Gregor's death might make her happy, yet, I don't think her inner monologue ever reveals that she believes the head to be Gregor's. I have a strong suspicion that the head is Robert Baratheon's. I think he was interred at King's Landing, giving Qyburn access to his "recently" deceased body, and while he wasn't as big as the Mountain he was big enough that his head would be convincingly large (Qyburn does comment on the size of the head).
This would explain Cersei's satisfaction, and be the type of poetic "justice" Martin loves. Robert was, in a way, responsible for what happened to Elia and her children. I am going to look for passages to bolster this.
Any thoughts/theories on whose head it was? I don't think it is a dwarf's head as previously suggested), as dwarfs have heads that are disproportionately large only in relation to their bodies.
***isn't there a shield somewhere in feast for crows that bears the crest of Arlan of Pennytree ("Ser" Duncan's mentor from the Hedge Knight)? I think Brienne or somebody grabs it from storage. It's an oak tree with a falling star, if I remember correctly. It has to be the same shield Ser Duncan bears.

Having just finished "Feast", I can now read this thread without a guilty conscience!
I thought I would come upon one or two comments concerning the following (yes, a SPOILER, of course) - but couldn't find any.
Why on earth did Arya kill Dareon (pages 515 - 518)? I suppose I must have missed something, but it came as a total surprise to me. That is, assuming she did kill him, though there doesn't seem to be much room for doubt.

Think of the first chapter of GotM. Eddard executed the man because he was a deserter from the Night's Watch, and that's the law back in Westeros. Ned always taught the kids that these laws had to be upheld.
A definate sign Arya is still a Stark, whatever else she becomes.
November 8th, 2005, 03:18 PM #69Originally Posted by Murrin
I was hoping there might be another explanation, but perhaps not...
November 8th, 2005, 03:25 PM #70
Well, I'd say that's only part of it, but it's the part I'm best able to explain.
There's the fact he's a deserter, oathbreaker, etc, and the fact he was generally an insensitive person. In that chapter, she seems to think of him as a bad person ("fair of face, foul of heart") simply because she had hoped he would take her to the Wall before she found out he was deserting.
November 8th, 2005, 03:47 PM #71
She says it was "Arya of House Stark" that did the killing; which is a somewhat ritualistic response. The inclusion of her house name inclines me to believe her Stark character had resurfaced in the face of the deserter, however briefly.
November 8th, 2005, 04:19 PM #72
Okay - I guess that's just the most likely thing, then. Was it just me that got a bit jolted by this, though? If it had been a bit more foreshadowed, I wouldn't have minded at all - as it was, it just sort of came (rather obliquely) out of the blue.
Frankly, that happened a few other times during "Feast" - Cersei's downfall especially comes to mind. Rightly or wrongly, I feel this book didn't really flow very well, occasionally.
Ah well, just my first thoughts, of course!
November 8th, 2005, 06:18 PM #73
Soooooooooooory, Double post! read the one below!Originally Posted by Julian
As to the question of Arya's future personality, i think she may use ' Arya of house Stark ' as her alter ego, if you will. Her was of striking out at the people who have comitted a wrong, remember the linaty of names she spoke to herself ' Dunsen, Raff the Sweetling' etc
Her future role as a Faceless man/woman ( err? ) may revolve around killing, yet if thats the case who woud she work for, herself? some higher person in Bravos? i think shes destined to meet up with J'qar again ........ eh who knows!
And good observation Overlord, i think i remember something like that, though i don't have the book on hand to check it up,

I don't blame her for killing him- I was actually pleased by it. And I think it was not viewed as negative by her mentor, either. I think it meant she was ready for the next phase of training- seeing without the eyes.
As far as her meeting J'quar- I believe she will find him in the form of Pate- working with/near Samwell.
'tis destiny

ASU Polytechnic Academic District
Bill Timmerman
2012 AIA COTE Top Ten Project ASU Polytechnic Academic District in Mesa, Ariz., designed by RSP Architects and Lake Flato Architects.
AIA Announces 2012 COTE Top Ten Green Projects1315 Peachtree StreetASU Polytechnic Academic DistrictChandler City HallIowa Utilities Board Office of Consumer Advocate Office BuildingKensington High School for the Creative and Performing ArtsMercy CorpsMusic and Science BuildingPortland Community College Newberg CenterUniversity Classroom BuildingUniversity of California, Merced Long-Range Development Plan
Jury: "This is a really big program that the architect was able to address creating a sense of scale. The outdoor courts, the spaces between buildings, and just the vocabulary of the architecture really gives it a strong sense of place and allows you to understand it. It never falls down."
Architect: "There is a connection every minute of the day between students and the natural environment. Walking from class to class, people are always funneled through generous, shaded courtyards. The design truly engages students and fosters campus identity as they gather in the courtyards and atriums where daylight filters in. The openness and visibility in these spaces create a sense of community." —Andrew Herdeg, AIA, partner at Lake|Flato Architects
Arizona State University Polytechnic's campus began taking shape on the former Williams Air Force Base in Mesa, Ariz., in 1996 with 1,000 students. It was expected to reach 10,000 students by 2010, so to accommodate this growth, RSP Architects and Lake|Flato Architects crafted a 245,000-square-foot program with five high-performance buildings. The five new academic building more than double academic space on campus, and they are all LEED Gold–certified.
The older buildings on campus had larger footprints and were isolated on individual blocks. The new buildings, in comparison, are a dense network of linear spaces that are connected by arcades, atria, and landscaped courtyards. A new desert mall replaces a main four-lane street.
The new building typology seeks to minimize conditioned space and maximize shade and natural ventilation. Circulation patterns were moved outdoors and the buildings were pulled apart, substituting a three-story open atria for an artificially lit double-loaded interior corridor. The atria are aligned with the campus's existing exterior north-south walkways to integrate the new structures with the existing campus framework. The outdoor spaces are designed to protect pedestrians from the desert environment, providing shaded courtyards—one of which includes a pistachio orchard, and another that incorporates a demonstration yard for experiments. The buildings are oriented with their longest sides on the east-west axis in order to shelter the courtyards and block dust.
Replacing hardscape surfaces on site with courtyards, indigenous landscape, and water features that use recycled water helps reduce the heat-island effect. To avoid previous flooding issues on site, the landscape is designed to manage stormwater flows in tinajas, seeps, arroyos, and manmade irrigation tunnels.
More than 80 percent of the spaces in the buildings are daylight, and glazing and sun-shading strategies were calibrated to specific orientations: The north-south-oriented wings incorporate a window-to-wall ratio of 30 percent open area, while the east-west wings have a 50 percent ratio on the north and 25 percent ratio on the south. The south-facing façades have horizontal sunshades and light shelves to minimize direct light penetration while spreading daylight indoors, and the north façades use either perforated steel or Teflon-coated fabric vertical sunshades to filter light.
The buildings are designed to support a variety of programs and rely on a simple configuration of a repeating 30-foot-by-30-foot module.

Simulating the Moving Parts of a Generator
Model ID: 2122
In this model, a rotor with permanent magnets and a nonlinear magnetic material rotates within a stator of the same magnetic material.
The generated voltage in windings around the stator is calculated as a function of time. COMSOL Multiphysics models the rotation with assemblies and identity pairs. The nonlinearity of the magnetic material is also taken into account using an interpolation function.

SMU Student Affairs
Office of the Vice President
Strategic Plan
The Division of Student Affairs at SMU has formulated a strategic plan with an emphasis on enhancing student success, student learning and the overall quality of campus- life for students. The Strategic Plan for the Division of Student Affairs at SMU is the product of many hours of intentional, thoughtful work and involvement by Student Affairs professionals, faculty, university staff and students. It provides a "road map" for our continued development as a Division and is the culmination of our collective commitment to fostering the potential of each student (undergraduate & graduate) at the University.
The development of this strategic plan coincides with the appointment of new leadership within the Division of Student Affairs, and is one that is imbedded in the overall University strategic planning goals, with particular attention to Goal Four: To Support and Sustain Student Development and Quality of Life. (http://www.smu.edu/AboutSMU/StrategicPlan/GoalFour.aspx)
For any university that emphasizes student learning as a core principle, the identification of student learning outcomes and the assessment of the educational curriculum, activities, programs and services in support of these outcomes, is paramount. In addition, students and their parents have increased expectations that campuses will provide: safe and secure environments for student learning, high-quality facilities and services that are responsive to student needs in a technological and "instant" environment; and inside-of- and outside-of- the-classroom experiences that facilitate opportunities for student growth and development toward successful post graduate careers and life.
