Special Olympics has helped Emilda Soriano gain focus, build strength and develop confidence. Now, Emilda is applying these valuable skills in her daily life.
Now 18 years old, Emilda can talk and communicate with others because of her participation in Special Olympics sports.
Emilda Soriano's coach and parents have watched her race many times. But seeing her run – and win medals – is always a powerful experience. They watch her go – and think about how far she's come.
The teen's family remembers Emilda as a young girl, before she was stricken with a high fever and convulsions, then fell unconscious for many days. When she woke up, Emilda had trouble responding to people and learning letters, colors or numbers. Her parents never gave up trying to get her the help she needs, although they struggle to cover food and basic expenses in their shanty-town in the southern Philippines. They have worked hard to pay for her schooling, including sending her to kindergarten for five years.

Now 18 years old, Emilda can talk and communicate with others, though she loses focus quickly. What gets her attention is sports, especially track and field. Her mother tries to take her to practice at a local sports stadium everyday – and Emilda has gotten very fast. Her coach says, "Winning or losing doesn't really matter. She just loves to run." Emilda won a gold medal, two silver medals and a bronze medal in athletics at the recent 12th Philippine Special Olympics. Her national triumph qualified her for the 2011 World Summer Games in Athens. But how could her family afford such a trip?
The Soriano family couldn't afford the trip, but people from all over the world have been sending in money to support Emilda's run for Greece. A student center in the Philippines covered the costs of new shoes, a uniform and other expenses. And people in a missionary group and other supporters have also pitched in from many parts of the world.
Her parents' hopes and dreams will be with Emilda as she travels to the global competition in Greece. Says her mother, "I would give everything for my daughter. Now that she is enjoying life as an athlete, I try not to worry about her future." Emilda's progress has inspired many, many people. As one of her fans remarked, "We are very proud of her achievements …We will support Emilda all the way."
Emilda celebrates her win on the medal stand.
Thanks to the support of donors and other well wishers, Emilda was given the opportunity to compete in the World Games. Her training paid off -Emilda surged to the end of the 200 metre track in third place, earning her an Olympic bronze medal.
Special Olympics transforms athletes' lives through the joy of sport. Help us make a difference.
Volunteering with Special Olympics is fun and very rewarding, for both the athlete and the volunteer!

Planet seeking Kepler Spacecraft readies for launch
Using a 96 million pixel camera array, Kepler will detect Earth-like planets over a 3.5-year period.
Article Summary
On March 5, NASA will launch the largest camera ever sent into space in an attempt to find the holy grail of astronomy: an Earth-like planet. The $591 million Kepler craft will orbit the sun for at least 3.5 years, using an unprecedented 0.95-meter diameter Schmidt telescope packing an array of 42 CCDs, each with 2200x1024 pixels, to scan over 100,000 stars in the Cygnus-Lyra region of the galaxy. The craft is seeking planets in the "goldilocks" zone – not too close to the sun, and not too far – but the scope of the project means that no matter what scientists find, our understanding of the universe will be greatly enhanced.

I am an artist, musician and occasional electronics/tech designer. Over the years I have had different sites spread about the internet, so I thought maybe instead, I would try to bring all my passions together into one place!
This blog and site will contain updates/videos about my art and paintings , my music, gigs, recordings and videos, and progress (if any!) on tech projects that I am working on.
I hope to replace this waffle with an introductory video instead (soon as I have time!)
Hopefully some of what I post will be of interest to some people, comments and criticism especially welcome.
Thanks for visiting!

Comments about Moon Climbing Bouldering Shoulder Bag:
Love this bag. much roomier than expected and comfortable. Only complaints are it takes a while to convert to a messenger bag, and if there is a lot of weight in the bag, the straps tend to get longer.
Chalk compartment is clutch. allows me to bring my gear everywhere, which means I am never unprepared to campus your proj.

In conjunction with the burgeoning online education marketplace, Silicon Valley graduate, Udemy continues to expand. According to a recent announcement, however, they're not the only ones raking in the benefits. A few months back the company said its top earning instructors were making six-figures simply by teaching courses on the online education site. As it turns out, a good number of their peers are pulling in impressive numbers as well.
The company recently told GigaOm that a quarter of its approved instructors will close out the year with at least $10,000 in income from courses purchased on its site. According to the article, "The company declined to share the total number of instructors offering classes on Udemy but said the figure has climbed 300 percent in the last year. About 60 percent of all instructors on the site are "approved," meaning their courses meet a checklist of standards and can be searchable by students online. The site has attracted about 400,000 registered students, which is about a 520 percent increase from last year."
While the most profitable courses tend to fall in the technical realm (Microsoft Excel or Python), instructors teaching courses on topics like yoga and cooking can make their fare share as well. Photographer David Nightingale, for example, has made $31,000 in just four months with his "art of black and white photography" course, suggesting that if a Udemy course is made well, it can attract a large audience.
To learn more about Udemy and the success of their instructors, click here to read the full article on GigaOm. If you are interested in teaching or taking a course on Udemy, check out their website for more information.

About Capital Aid Fund for Employment of the Poor
Capital Aid Fund for Employment of the Poor (CEP) is a non-profit Vietnamese microfinance institution that operates in the provinces of southeastern Vietnam and the Mekong Delta. CEP's head office is located in Ho Chi Minh City. This institution's mission is to work with, and for, the poor and poorest to realize sustained improvements in well-being through the provision of financial and complementary non-financial services in an honest, efficient, and sustainable manner. The non-financial services CEP offers to complement its basic credit and savings products include financial education, raising awareness of health and sanitation issues, and education scholarships for children.Concurrent and Successive Loans
Our Field Partners often work with borrowers over a series of loans as the borrowers build credit, take out bigger loans, and expand their businesses. In order to make it easier for our Field Partners to post loans for borrowers who have been listed on Kiva before, we allow them to post successive and concurrent loans for their Kiva borrowers. This means that our Field Partners are able to post a borrower's second, third, etc., loan on Kiva without having to re-enter all of the borrower's information.
This borrower has been listed on Kiva before, so you'll see an updated loan description, as well as excerpts of the original descriptions from earlier loans. Most borrowers take out loans consecutively, meaning that they receive a second loan after having repaid the first. However, sometimes our Field Partners give out concurrent loans, allowing borrowers to take out one primary loan and a secondary "add-on" loan along with it. These "add-on" loans are typically smaller than the borrower's primary loan and serve a different purpose. Because Field Partners can now post loans as successive and concurrent loans, you will be able to track borrower progress over time and see the various ways a borrower is working with our Field Partners through funds from Kiva's lenders.

Change on a Dime: Agile Design
What does it mean to have a good experience? Think of your favorite restaurant, the interior of your car, and the software on your phone; how do people craft these experiences? What details, planning, and design go into the process?
Would it be possible to create a great experience if you were limited from laying out a full design before you got started? That's the typical scenario in designing a user experience within the realm of agile software development. As a designer, how do you manage in an environment with such a quick pace and changing specifications? This article provides a brief overview of agile development and gives several tips for working as a designer in this environment.
Development Through Agile
In large part, the movement towards agile is a response to an industry perception of heavy, slow, and bloated software development. Specifically, agile is a movement away from the typical waterfall model of software development that requires an initial comprehensive design ("big design up front"). With the waterfall model, deliverables and the value from having a functioning product take the form of one bulk delivery near the end of the process. The drawbacks are that development can be delayed, come in over budget, or be irrelevant by the time the product is finished.
Agile was conceived as an alternative approach that delivers a constant stream of value through much smaller deliverables. Typically, agile development takes place through defined iteration cycles that are usually 1-2 weeks in length. At the end of each iteration, a customer-defined set of features, called a story, is delivered. Stories have their own progression through development (typically a backlog, in-process, review, and production queue) and are continuously prioritized by the client. This means requirements can change quite frequently through development. Along the way, refactoring takes place from time to time in order to ensure that features fit together into a single cohesive application.
The primary values of agile are to quickly deliver functioning software and allow for changes in requirements throughout development. As a designer, you may be asking yourself how (or why) requirement change is even allowed. Because no big design up front is delivered, developers can start working on simple features for clients that add immediate value. Although this potentially leads to a larger discussion as to what exactly is conveyed by the term "value," in this case, I am specifically talking about functioning (versus theoretical) software. Through agile development, changes are not only allowed but also expected.
Assume for a moment that you're tasked with creating a mobile travel application. Specifically, your client wants the user to be able to browse destinations, write reviews, and book travel. With agile, it's possible to deliver the smallest units of functionality (e.g., browse destinations) almost immediately. Furthermore, because feature sizes (i.e., the stories) are small, a large UX design may not immediately be necessary (or in some cases, budgeted). However, what this gives your client is a product that can stand on its own at any given time throughout development. It's important to clarify that deliverables prior to the final product will likely not provide a response to all problems the product set out to solve. That said, these deliverables will allow your client to see progress and steer the course of development as they see fit.
The sunny side of this methodology is it allows development to adapt to customer needs, budgets, innovations in the field, and potential ventures into uncharted territories (e.g., completely new concepts). The dark side encompasses the same notions that make it great: the client can change requirements at any time, features developed independently of one another may feel disjointed, and there is rarely time to create a comprehensive user-centric design.
As a designer, someone who is responsible for the end-user experience, how can you best react in such an environment? Let's take a moment to examine some of the more prominent issues as well as some possible solutions for working in this periodically unpredictable and sometimes volatile field.
Designing Without Design Upfront
The sooner you understand and internalize the fact that big upfront designs may not exist, the better. Because of the pace of an agile environment, it can be difficult to produce high-fidelity designs and systems ahead of development. The only exception may be when style or branding guidelines are clearly defined. Even then, you may actually be wasting your (and your client's) time by flushing out a high-fidelity mockup if requirements are to change.
Even though you will not likely have an opportunity to create a big upfront design, you may be able to take advantage of the period immediately before development begins (known as iteration zero). In this time, try to get as much groundwork done as possible. If you're lucky enough to have direct contact with the client, ask as many questions at this time. What are they envisioning? What features are they aiming for? What theoretical features could be introduced? Why are they building the application? Who are their users? What would their ideal scenario be?
This information may save you from potential rework or dead ends in design.
Reacting to Course Change
The course of development may change at any time. This may cause frustration if the newly proposed idea deviates too far from a preconceived idea or design.
Let's jump back to our theoretical travel application and assume that after using the first implemented feature, your client wants to drop the ability to write reviews and instead provide the ability to message other users within the application. How do you react to this? While potentially frustrating, it's important to remind yourself of the client's current needs and requirements. Additionally, you must able to separate and drop what is no longer needed. Sometimes this means removing something you just spent an entire day on; know that this is okay.
Keeping Designs Simple
Because the horizon may be unknown, try to keep all solutions and designs as simple as you possibly can. Reduce problems down to their lowest common denominator and create only what is necessary—nothing more, nothing less. Not only are such systems easier to maintain, but they may also save you time in case something gets changed, added, or scrapped.
Simple and quick solutions may be all that are necessary. This means ditching perfectionism (pixel counters, I'm looking at you). However, this does not mean relinquishing your perspective on the entirety of the application. On the contrary, sometimes the most important time to consider your high-level design is when you're creating specific solutions. In any case, respond accordingly within the scope of stories, features, and iterations.
Maintaining Consitency Through Development
Even though a comprehensive application design may not be created, it is important to understand feature consistency and congruence. As a designer, one of your greatest challenges may be ensuring that all implemented pieces fit together into a single cohesive experience. One barrier may involve implementation problems; your design for a feature may be spot-on, but due to the quick pace of agile, it may not be fully (or properly) implemented. Because of this, it's important to review all stories that go through iterations.
Alternatively, sometimes your feature designs are properly implemented but the over-arching design feels disjointed. To combat this, try creating a low-fidelity task flow diagram or outline to keep in mind how it all should fit. Not only does this give you some sense of direction and context, but it can also provide your developers with immediate direction if needed.
At times, it will be necessary to jump out of the iterative flow and examine the whole system for congruency. Do components fit? If not, why? As you work through these potential problems, keep in mind the scope of your iteration and deliverables. Refactoring for the sake of consistency is great, but if it means holding up your development team, you may need additional planning for these efforts. Try creating stories specifically for reviewing and updating the UX of your product.
Avoiding the Design Vortex
As a designer, sometimes the most difficult activity to do is to stop designing. It's important to mind the scope and pace of agile, which sometimes means your prototypes will not be pixel perfect. That's okay. Just be able to communicate to your development team how everything should work.
One strategy for this is to conduct basic whiteboarding sessions with fellow designers and your development team. This allows your ideas to be quickly communicated and allows for technical validation of any solutions or features you are considering. If a more formal deliverable is required, try wireframing for multiple screens and layouts.
Considering Your Project
Even though agile development is quick, stay focused on your users, clients, personas, or the closet thing you have to visualize who will be using your product. It's important to be able to visualize who is using your application. How are they using it? Where will they be? Under what conditions? Keep this in mind and help others to understand the project.
And continually ask yourself if the product is still a success. It's really that simple. Is your client happy? Are the users happy? Though subjective, sometimes this is your only metric to check your efforts.
Last But Not Least
Design in an agile setting may be challenging (and even jarring), but it's not all bad. Agile allows for a consistent stream of feedback from your client. Because features are released each iteration, you can potentially gain continuous insight into how your designs are being interpreted and used. Though this provides no substitution for traditional user testing, client demonstrations do provide some level of feedback. In a way, agile may be a great training ground for designers as it provides an opportunity to create smaller, more manageable solutions with a rapid feedback cycle.
For some, creating an effective and memorable user-centric design within an agile environment may seem tricky. Then again, the challenge may also be fun and exciting. It's important to note that there is not one proven method or process that works best. Like all human interaction and patterns, we're still figuring this out. However, as long as you actively consider your end users and design with them in mind, you should do just fine.

I'm glad someone has expressed the very issue at hand with UX -- upfront design goes hand-in-hand with up-front analysis and post-development testing. That is, its a Waterfall world, not an Agile one.
Interesting article and one that addresses many of my frustrations as a designer working in an agile development process.
There's a fine balance to the pixel-perfect and iterative deadline process. If you aren't pixel-perfect enough, you end up over-time looking like "Ling's Cars" with your public-facing product. Quality-compromises add up. It seems like there's never enough "dev time" in the sprints to correct blatant visual pixel-poo.
I definitely appreciate the style-guide exhortation and this is one that I've been feeling convicted of lately. I need to create something like this for our developers to help streamline the process and allay some of my frustrations with dev front-end output.
Do you have any helpful links that will guide us designers through the process of creating a style guideline for developers?
Great article. As an implementer of someone else designs, i love to have it pixel perfect, saves them coming back afterwards and pointing this out!
Hey John,
Your point that "The only exception may be when style or branding guidelines are clearly defined. Even then, you may actually be wasting your (and your client's) time by flushing out a high-fidelity mockup if requirements are to change." is a great one.
I would even go further and say that if you have the benefit of clearly fleshed out branding guidelines, it's a waste of time to develop high-fi mocks--even if the requirements won't change.
Instead, you should just be able to annotate your low-fi mocks with references to the appropriate styles. That saves you the time of developing hi-fi mocks for every feature, but still gives developers enough specificity for them to fill in the details by referencing the branding guidelines.
My company's product/design team has been doing a lot of work to move in this direction recently. I blogged about it yesterday: http://unpackingtech.blogspot.com/2011/07/accelerating-design-accomplishing-more.html

This is missing something really important.. that agile isn't just about risk management and iterative delivery, the other half of the agile manifesto is just as important - better relationships with your team members and your stakeholders. Those are the things that can really make or break a project and can't be understated.
There's also a common misconception illustrated perfectly here by the agile development timeline diagram. That isn't how the process works, that's just how the actual build process works.
There's a whole load of stuff that has to happen before that. There is a brief mention here of sprint zero, but even before sprint zero there's all of the planning and discussion and and proposals and green-lighting and research and debate that always happen before a project kicks off in earnest.
So there's already a mechanism in place for doing stuff up-front. By the time your iterations take place you should already have done your audience research, worked out your overarching goals and design principles, and have a rough sketch of what it is that you are building.
That rough sketch may change shape a bit as the project goes along, but really the iterations are about fleshing out the details and changing as and when change is needed.
This is of course nothing new to designers, who are already used to a cycle of user testing and reworking as a project goes along.
If your valuable stuff is being junked then the project isn't being run properly. There are three possible factors, quality scope and time, and agile is designed specifically to safeguard quality and time by allowing flexibility with scope. So things that are dropped should ALWAYS be the things that have the lowest value. An ability to convincingly explain value is a crucial skill for a designer.
Lastly, there's always enough time to get feedback. That's the point of things like sprint reviews and the product owner role. If your feedback is from user testing which has a longer lead time than a single sprint, then that's not a problem at all either - there are many future sprints that findings can be implemented in.
It's all possible, there are plenty of organisations running agile UX very successfully, without
As an agile designer I'd like to use iteration zero to actually work out what the hell we are doing.
As a UXD I'd like to see the primary user centric stories lopped off the project to get it out the door.
As a UXD guardian I'd like developers to design web apps and prioritise user needs with arbitrary decisions based on technology priorities.
Somethings should just be upfront...
It's just another type of process that is delevoper centric not necessarily better for businesses or end users.
Good agile can work with robust discussion and prioritisation of key UXD stories, however design has to be weighted or understood by a team, a good team, to have any chance at success.
It's a little dance we do...but ya gotta know the steps
In theory and in practicality, this post is nothing more then Agile/ UX development 101.
My issue is with subtitle "Last but not Least".
Having worked in an Agile environment for years (even before the term "Agile" was official) , designers have always been that eccentric, liquid, free flowing, adaptable knowledge worker which the Agile environment tries to forge. The problem I find is that even though the Agile process should host an environment for quick change and turn around, the Scrum Master or accidental Scrum Master does not as a matter of fact allow this "down" time at the end of a cycle to collect feedback from customers, team developers or stake holders.
Obviously this is not the way to conduct an Agile development process, however more often then not, this is what is happening in the background.
Even though we as designers would like to step away from a Waterfall approach to development, this is simply not happening enough in the Agile world.
I hear countless complaints from designers who are led to believe one thing, but when the project kicks off, it's nothing more then business as usual.
I even hear from Scrum Masters, that there's not enough time to collect feedback. Who's fault is this?
The regular shortcuts kick in and the Scrum Master get into their near-sighted monocular vision of simply getting the job done.
I've yet to see a real and true Agile environment that truly embraces the flexibly and agility of allowing free flowing design thinking and development with the proper time for feedback and the addressing of those issues at hand from the people that really matter.
I bet you soon enough we'll coin a term entitled "Lean Agile, or Swift Agile Process" to address these same issues.
Ever hear of "Lean UX" anyone?
Let's stop defining the damn thing and lets do things properly- Stake holders take note.
"Be water my friend"- Bruce Lee
Great article - its only natural that we extend agile development cycle into UX design. One issue I run against is the visual design... rough sketches are no problem to iterate, but you can only go so far with sketches. Eventually you'll need a pretty polished design to present.
Nice article! It addresses the issue I struggle with, that is: how to get the visual design done well? You say it is alright to not have it pixel perfect when designing, but in what phase do we get to the pixel level then?
I work in an agile environment but one in which ux is a fairly new component. I don't consider any of what I do "deadwork" because it all adds experience and helps to solve other problems down the road.
Any advice on how to stay positive when what you design gets sliced down for a quick release and then may not ever get revisited and reworked?

"Commencing to drink after a period of sobriety, we are in a short time as bad as ever. If we are planning to stop drinking, there must be no reservation of any kind, -- nor any lurking notion that someday we will be immune to alcohol." ~pg 41, Big Book
You don't believe it? Just ask us! Most of us have experienced this.
I'm grateful -- that so far, yet... 25 yrs ago was the last time it happened to me! However -- this day is not over yet. And, today -- is the most important day of my sobriety.
Recovery IS Possible! We can recover. And, we DO recover! But, we are NOT cured!
If I don't keep sobriety as my #1 priority in life -- I'll lose it. I don't have to be hungry, angry, lonely or tired -- I can be well fed, peaceful, feeling like I have many friends, and be celebrating the good life! My last drink was on Nov. 14th., 1986. And, all I've got to do is let up on doing the actions -- that keep me sober -- and, I'll be drinking again.
Do I think about drinking? No.
Am I fighting it? No.
Am I afraid I'll drink again? No.
However -- I try to not let one minute consciously go by that I don't remind myself that -- I'm an alcoholic! I've seen what happens to those -- that forget.

Also, I have been making a lot more bread than pizza so this question stems from that -- I am looking for a workflow that would work equally well for bread or pizza. I find if I cold proof, that my bread suffers a lot more than my pizza (as compared to all room temp).
I don't understand what the allure of cold fermenting is unless it is just about scheduling.
That being said, I have read some some studies that introduced some uncertainty about how optimal proofing is as the point where retardation should take place (specifically in regards to sourdough and how it is affected by different temps).
Craig, have you cut your 60F dough against cold retard doughs...I know that VPN joints cold retard their dough...And if there is no difference, it seems to be much more convenient to place the dough in a refrigerator at approx 37-40F, than to set up a cooler situation.
Sorry, no it was not, it was with ADY....But tell me on ADY, does it make a difference? Thx, RJelli

History Column: What's in a name? Quite a bit
There is a story behind every name. A name can provide vital information when searching the family tree or maybe even prove some interesting stories to be carried on throughout the generations.Relatives are often the most common source for naming a child. Norwegian custom dictates that the oldest son be named after his paternal grandfather, and the second son his maternal grandfather. In a similar fashion, the eldest and second daughters were named after the grandmothers. As you may know, this is a very common practice in this area.The culture here in the United States often states that the husband's surname is passed down to the children. However, many women over the years have used their maiden name as a middle name or a first name to pass along their heritage as well.Virgil Fiegen's middle name is Cornelius, the maiden name of his maternal grandmother, Mary Hilreka Cornelius Anderson.The Merry family has long lived in Dell Rapids since the early days of settlement. When Roberta and her husband, Robert DeVaney had a daughter, she was named MerryAnn. The more common spelling may have been Mary, but Roberta's maiden name is Merry, hence the spelling.In most circumstances the naming of a child is a happy, joyous event.However, sometimes there are tragedies involved. The child may be named after a relative that died far short of their life expectancy, due to an accident, illness or a tragic even.Merritt Blow, son of Margaret Blow, died at a young age of thirteen years due to fever in 1887.His brother would eventually name his son, born in 1909, Merritt. I am sure to honor his brother's life. The younger Merritt, by the way, lived to be 104 years of age.Thelma Busk was named after an aunt on her father's side. Thelma Lowe Robinson was born in 1931. Her life was abruptly cut short at the age of 26, when her husband intentionally murdered her on May 6, 1957.A few of the streets in Dell Rapids are named after notable individuals that once lived here.Juniata Street is named after Juniata Alexander Peirce, the daughter of Robert Alexander who would eventually plat much of Dell Rapids. Pearl Street (now called Fourth Street) was named after the first child born in Dell Rapids.Not wanting to leave out the male gender, Alva Street, was the first male born in Dell Rapids.Your name is just a spelling of a word. Whatever the reason may be, there is always a story behind the name.What is your story? Share your story with your children, ask your parents, exchange that story with your neighbors and friends. That's when it becomes interesting!

Review: The Macallan Fine Oak 17 Year Old Whisky
Posted by Arctic Wolf on April 24, 2011
The Macallan Fine Oak Series is a range of single malt Scotch whiskies, produced at The Macallan Distillery at Craigellachie, in the Speyside region of Scotland. These whiskies are matured in seasoned American oak casks, (sherry as well as bourbon), as well as seasoned sherry casks from Spain. I have previously reviewed the The Macallan Fine Oak 10 Year and The Macallan Fine Oak 15 Year Old expressions here on my blog, and I am happy to continue this series with a review of The Macallan Fine Oak 17 year Old. Here is an Excerpt from the review:
You may read my full review here:
Review: The Macallan Fine Oak 17 Year Old Whisky
Please enjoy the review!
Note: This review is based upon a small sample provided to me from the personal collection of J. L. Wheelock, who is part of the Beam Global team here in Alberta. The sample was smaller than my normal 200 ml minimum sample size, and the reader should be cautioned that I was not able to give the sample my normal rigorous tasting regimen of five independent tasting sessions. Instead I completed two tasting sessions of the sample and completed my review on that basis.
Sorry, the comment form is closed at this time.

This is the crap we got after Spectacular... a Spiderman show that caters to the Avenger/Shield fans and that´s not really about Spiderman but about a group of Shield metahuman teenagers, among which, Spiderman can be found.
Marvel.com has posted the new trailer for the second season of Ultimate Spider-Man. It's nice to know that we can always find the true Peter Parker somewhere. This cartoon will have to do until the Dan Slott story line runs its course.
Ultimate Spider-Man premiers Monday, January 21 at 7:00 p.m. ET on Disney XD.
This is the crap we got after Spectacular... a Spiderman show that caters to the Avenger/Shield fans and that´s not really about Spiderman but about a group of Shield metahuman teenagers, among which, Spiderman can be found.
Real Spider-man is bouncing around in Ock's head, he should be back within a year.
Even my young kids don't like this Spider-Man cartoon. It's too idiotic and immature to be enjoyable for us.
While I wasn't too much of a fan of the animation of Spectacular Spider-Man, what won me over though was it's mature story themes and situations and drama, but it had a good mix of Spidey fun that we all know and love.
Sadly, I can't say the same about Ulitmate.
This show is insipid. Spider-bike? Never made it past that. SO lame, so very very lame. Kids like it though so I guess they got their audience. I'll just go watch the classic Spiderman animated series again on Netflix. Tome that Spiderman show that was and will be the best one.
Jeez...when did everybody get so stuffy around here? I think this show is hilarious. I'll be honest, with all the narration and breaking the 4th wall, it comes off more as a Teen Deadpool show, but that's what appeals to me about it. There's a fantastic episode that pokes fun at James Bond movies and Die Hard called "For Your Eye Only" in which Spidey and Fury fend off a group of baddies from taking over the helicarrier...at the end it said, "Peter Parker will return in Dr. Octopussy"...hilarious.
And Axia - besides being a blatant attempt to sell more toys, the Spider Bike was something that S.H.I.E.L.D. dreamed up for him once he signed up. Spider-man with gadgets and government backing him up. Don't see what's so wrong with that.
Gadgets for Spiderman yes. A bike? Lame. Peter is Spiderman, he needs no bike or land vehicle of any kind. I found it to be minorly funny, but to me it feels like it is trying WAY to hard to be funny. Avengers Earth's Mightiest Hero's is funny but no cheesy. But that is just me.
I'm with Caveman here. I really enjoy this show. It seems like everyone wants even the cartoons to be aimed at grown ups. I'm OK with throwing something the kids' way especially if it makes me smile and laugh on occasion
I wish they were still making new Super Hero Squad Show episodes, I really dug that series
My 13 year old loves this show. I also enjoy this take on the Spidey story. It is a kids show, if you don't like it... that might be a good thing. It can make me laugh as I watch it with my son. The bobble head looking mini guys stuff really makes me laugh. I hope they keep going a long time.
The crew that made Avengers Earth's Mightiest Hero's should be in charge of making all the Marvel cartoons. It is simply the best to be made since the animated Spiderman series and the animated X-Men.
I usually hate to be this guy, but I'm feeling like a bit of a dick today...must be something in the water...If Avengers: Earth's Mightiest Heroes was so great, it wouldn't have been cancelled to make way for yet another new Avengers cartoon.

Maybe a big duh question, but what can the OGL 3.0 mesa drivers run now that they couldnt run before?
Not that I don't appreciate the work, I do!
Maybe a big duh question, but what can the OGL 3.0 mesa drivers run now that they couldnt run before?
Not that I don't appreciate the work, I do!
Many of these features have been supported forever.
I hope it goes without saying that most people don't even need OpenGL 3/4. The proprietary drivers provide that and I don't particularly care about provides them. None of the software I use needs it. I forecast that there is a 100% chance of not giving a rat's ass continuing for the next year. (if it even takes them that long).
What even uses that crap aside from a couple of proprietary games and maybe some expensive proprietary software that I have no use for?
Seriously, what is wrong with you people? (With all due respect to the rare exceptions like Veerappan.)
There is a new milestone hit in an open-source software and everybody is like "who the fuck cares".
While I can see why you think it's late, etc. you should still be greatful or stfu, at the very least.
And I thought that it was just Micheal being depressed -- only negative headlines -- for over a months now.
This is the typical mid/eastern-european attidute, which I'm not proud of, so please don't learn it!
No, I'm glad that it is adding new features, I just don't have any burning need for them at this time. Any ground they gain on proprietary software that makes them more competitive for people who currently do need something that only the proprietary software provides, is of course a good thing.
I didn't mean to come off as "I don't care", I do, just not personally.
So there's a care that's not personal? Is this all because no one likes OpenGL?
If I understand things correctly, this nonchalant attitude has nothing to do with Mesa at all. Even if AMD released perfect, bug-free Catalyst drivers for OGL 3.0 with %400 performance increase or something ridiculous like that, the response would probably be the same. At least from this crowd.
Here's my summary of responses here...
The only purpose of openGL drivers for linux or any OS on a desktop system, is to accelerate their superior DirectX equivalents.
The level of inspiration here, is killing. You guys are lucky to have a kernel, let alone a 3D framework. Even bad musicians don't get this much heckling.
I don't use anything that requires DirectX, and don't have Wine. Hope that helps.
And yes, I do hate OpenGL and DirectX. They're both overgrown and have to support too much legacy crap. OpenGL is not "open" enough, since it requires you to navigate a thicket of patents to implement it properly.

sunday portrait week 144
001. What a week! The post Christmas blues have kicked in and the return to reality has well and truly hit me in the face. I'm super unmotivated although it's nice it be getting back into some sort of normal routine, I'm not quite there yet! I haven't done anything of note this week apart from going to see The Hobbit which I thought was really good, even though the 3d was a bit weird at times. I'm not the biggest fan of 3d films so it was a bit odd at first but I did get into it in the end! I actually really enjoyed it and would recommend people going to see it if you're a LOTR fan!
002. A few new videoed are up on my YouTube channel if you haven't seen them already. Including a Primark Haul, an Outfit and one on some of my favourite lipsticks. I'm not sure what I'm going to be filming this week so if you have any thoughts or suggestions please do let me know! I know I need to do a December favourites video as I actually completely forgot to do one at the end of the month!
003. I know Im always super slack when it comes to giveaways, but I need to pick my winner for my GHD giveaway tonight, so I'll email the winner tonight as well as finally get I'm touch with the winner of my LLYMLRS Box that I did a few weeks ago. I have all the bits for the second giveaway but I might go and grab a few more bits for the box before posting towards the end of the week!
004. Currently trying to decide which boots to add to my collection- Either these ones or these ones. Help!? I've decided I want something quite masculine and tough rather than my usual dainty style of shoe. I think something clompy to stomp around in would be the perfect addition to my wardrobe!

I'd go with the first pair ;)
Sam Muses xx
£250 Boohoo GiveawayThe Abyss boots are a bit more different as the others are a very close but slightly less clompy copy of the JC Coltrane's! Alert are nice and chunky too.

So different to your usual type of boot which is out there at the minute.
- Keeley | Walking-FashionLily! Barbara from thepersianbabe got some very similar stompy boots to the 2nd link but from H&M - check out her christmas haul because I bet they are cheaper than the topshop! x
also do check out my blog -- its quite new but its set to be a food, fashion and design blog about me and my three sisters living in Notting Hill.
krellworld.blogspot.comI'd go with the Abyss boots! They definitely give that masculine, tough girl vibe you're looking for.
tiny darlingReally love the Arabel ones. Well, whatever you wear is gorgeous and you always pull it off anyway!! :)

iCloud.com goes live for everyone
Apple has flipped the giant switch in their giant data center and taken the beta tags off iCloud.com, the web front end for their new sync store/push system. Head on over, enter your Apple ID, and free Mail, Calendar, Contacts, Find my iPhone, and iWork documents in the cloud, can be yours.
Sure, people have been sneaking in and checking it out for a while now, but with the wrapper officially off, no doubt more will come in for the tour.
If you've been a MobileMe user or Google user previously, we'd love to know your thoughts on Apples latest set of web app.
Tip: Thanks Sean!

iCloud.com goes live for everyone
Mobile Me users can't get on and move their stuff over until Apple releases a Lion update and officially releases iOS5 (although that one is pretty easy to get early)
Same thing happened to me on my MacBook Pro.
Lion is a pre-requisite?
Tried it on my 3GS.
iCloud page opens. There are 3 choices:
- Set up iCloud on this device
- Install Find My Phone
- Install Find My Friends
Tried #1.. 404 error Page not found.
Hmmm, why would that page even appear if IOS 5 isn't installed yet?
You need to setup the Lion sync software, but they point to a page that isn't live yet - http://www.apple.com/icloud/setup
Mine asks me if i want to convert over to iCloud..i click YES, but when i log into MobileMe, it tells me iCloud is still in Beta form.
Minor detail but you can't yet convert your mobile me account to icloud - so it's not really available yet :(
Can you use iCloud on a PC?
I tried to go to the website using IE and it says 'unsupported browser'. I am at work so I'll try with Google Chrome and Safari (installed on PC) when I get home... hmm, might be time to back a MacBook Air!!
7am on east coast and still can not convert over to iCloud. So someone please explain what "iCloud.com goes live for everyone" means.
Hold your horses peeps - you'll need to wait until 10am PST 1pm EST & 6pm BST when iOS 5 is released...
THEN you can access & convert as required (apart from Europe who possibly won't be able to convert Me.com to iCloud just yet)
I'm a MobileMe user. I attempted to login and it directs you to the MobileMe website. After you log into there, a message comes up saying that you can't switch over at this time that it's just for developers.
People it's not the end of the world just wait Apple said october 12 not an exact timr so technically apple have till 11:59 pm of cupertino time to put everything live! If doesnt work yet go to see youtube, go to the mall, turn on hBO or do something with ur life!!!!!
my stuff is all in Google too, what would be the point for us really, other than just to check it out.
i'm running the iOS 5 GM and when i go to set up on this device it gives me 404 error page not found. It worked when i signed in on Lion though
The migration process for MobileMe users will move Mail and Calendars to iCloud, and MobileMe users will continue to be able to use Gallery, iDisk and iWeb publishing through June 30, 2012 even though those services are not making the transition to iCloud. A number of syncing services that had been available for MobileMe, including Dashboard Widgets, Dock Items, Keychain, Mail Accounts, Mail Rules, Signatures, and Smart Mailboxes, and Mac OS X Preferences, will become unavailable immediately upon moving to iCloud.
How do you keep all this other stuff sync'd???
Something that has always been a pain for me with Google Calendar is the shared public calendars not syncing to the iPhone. For example, I'm on a couple College Football schedules, and can see them on Google calendar and not on the iPhone.
I'm hoping this has some better way of dealing with that (although not holding my breath on it)

Something that happens in the Monkey Bowling 2 minigame of Super Monkey Ball 2. It is when you bowl something that should have been a strike, but there's still one pin standing there.
I got the curse in Super Monkey Ball 2 today while trying to bowl a perfect game.

an easier way for red sox fans to admit their team sucks, without saying they suck. dated back to the trade of babe ruth, it is a liberal maneuver, in where it is much easier to blame your own problems on something that doesn't exist, instead of taking responsibility for your actions I.E. management, pitching, fielding errors etc.
the yankees just crushed us 19-8...man i hate the curse. why does this always happen to us.

ok, let me get this straight, THERE IS AND NEVER WILL BE A SUCH THING AS A CURSE!!!! I've said it before and I'll say it again three hundred trillion times if I have to. Its is just some retarded ass excuse that the worst team in baseball the red sox. And it is funny and just goes to show how right I am, that when the red sox were loseing they always would say "Well, its not our fault its the curse of the bambino!" but once they win a world series, the "curse" suddenly went away. And another thing, how the fuck do you get a curse from tradeing Babe Ruth to the yankees???
The curse is a bullshit excuse and the red sox STILL and will ALWAYS suck the yankees balls.

My fiance and I went to look at wedding bands from Zales and Kay Jewelers as well as some other stores. Seriously a band like this cost 400 dollars or more. Needless to say we were wanting to look at some more inexpensive options. He went on to Overstock.com and found this BEAUTY!!! I say that because it is! The price was also a steal!!!! I was nervous at first because I wasn't able to see it up close to my engagement ring. However, I got it today tried it on and I was almost in tears it was so pretty and matched my ring so well! It is such a pretty ring, and because it is raised on the side, it matched up with my engagement ring we got from Zales! I was ecstatic! The ring has a vintage feel to it, with the diamonds on top of the band and the design on the side and it is GORGEOUS! Other reviews said it might be a little small for some, but I think it looks very pretty on its own as well. This would make a GREAT anniversary band or addition to an engagement ring I am in love, and I can't wait to wear it everyday once we get married! I RECOMMEND THIS RING!!!!
The ring was purchased for my wedding band and when it is worn next to my $10,500 Tacori engagement ring, you have to look closely to catch the detail differences. It has similar milgrain detail and crescent design on the sides of the ring. I ordered the same size as my engagement ring, and it fits perfectly. I wish I could upload a picture. The matching Tacori wedding band is listed at over $5,000 so I was happy to pay less than $200 for this ring. Bottom line, I am a very happy customer.
I am happy with the ring itself. The diamonds are a good color and have plenty of sparkle. Unfortunately, the ring is a 5 3/4 size, though I ordered a 5. I've read that returns are pretty bad on Overstock.com so I am just having it re-sized by a local jeweler. He is charging $30 due to rhodium required. Inconvenient and costly.
I was so happy with the ring when I got it. Then it turned yellow. For $XXX I really don't think that should happen. Ohh and there's no warranty. So now I am stuck with an ugly ring that customer service could care less about. NO MORE BUSINESS from me. DO NOT BUY THIS PRODUCT.
This is such a beautiful, cost effective wedding band. And priced just right, I wouldn't have paid more for it, but it does look more valuable once it's on the finger! I wanted to buy a second one for the other side of my engagement ring, so hopefully they come in stock soon!
I have been searching for the perfect match for my wedding ring and found it with this ring. It compliments my wedding ring perfect. It is the right size and quality. Bummed they are sold out currently. I want one more.
This ring is pretty. I will give it that. The side detail is amazing. BUT the diamonds are awful. While they are only 1/10th of a carat the diamonds make it look cheap and just not good quality. Those are like little glass chips. Takes away from the character of the ring. AND the ring is SUPER TINY SKINNY.....no thank you.
The ring was perfect! Loved it! It went with my engagement ring and is good to wear just as a wedding band by itself.

WORLD PREMIERE: "Lasers" Album Cover
Latest News
Filed under:37
We gotta show up as a fan base when Lupe drops the new single on February 1st and when the album comes out. We gotta make him look better, and not make him be the one who has to change his music just so people know who he is. Lets pull an Avenged Sevenfold and get him to #1 on the Billboard. FNF UP!
Is allright kinda reminisent of BluePrint 3
it doesnt scream lupe to me though,Record Label probably had something to do with it..hope he comes out with an alternate cover you know with that lupe feel to it.
he said lasers i expected some anime sci fi star wars kinda thing.
it should have his logo on it though like on the cool it had that arabic style font to his name that was so ill.
i just had higher expectations.
get at me
