Regular meetups are held in the bay area – see the Facebook page and the Meetup.com page. There is also a New York meetup group (see the Facebook page) and more coming soon.
If you'd like to start a new meetup group, please sign up as a seasteading ambassador and contact us.
April 2012 – December 2013
Patri Friedman, founder and chairman of The Seasteading Institute, will talk at TEDxSF – Big Blue.
A landmark event featuring the vanguards of the seasteading movement. Network with fellow entrepreneurs, ocean law experts, maritime professionals, industrial leaders, investors, and seasteading enthusiasts for two days of cutting-edge presentations. Enjoy catered meals and refreshments throughout the day at the luxurious Le Méridien Hotel in San Francisco's financial district. Show your support for The Seasteading Institute by participating in an exclusive dinner at historic Forbes Island, a 700 ton floating island complete with palm trees, waterfall and lighthouse. Close the weekend out in style with a sunset dinner cruise around the San Francisco Bay.
For more information and to register, visit the main conference page.
The Seasteading Institute will be attending this year's Ephemerisle.
Ephemerisle is a floating festival on the Sacramento Delta originally started by The Seasteading Institute, and now crowd-sourced and community operated independently of the Institute. Last year 300-400 people passed through the festival over the course of the weekend. Participants are encouraged to "bring their own land," which means arrive on a houseboat, sailboat, raft, or other structure that provides a floating home for the course of the event. We hope attendees of The Seasteading Conference will spend the following weekend with us celebrating in a temporary floating village. More information about how to participate can be found on Ephemerisle's Wiki page and Facebook pages.
The Seasteading Institute will be tabling all afternoon at the 15th Annual Progressive Festival, on July 22 at Walnut Park, in Petaluma, CA.
More information can be found at www.progressivefestival.org.
The event is produced by the Petaluma Progressives and is cosponsored by KPFA 94.1 FM (kpfa.org), the Peace & Justice Center of Sonoma County, The Bohemian (bohemian.com) and the Committee for Immigrant Rights (immigrantrightssonoma.org), Sonoma County (peaceandjusticesonomaco.org). It takes place at Walnut Park, Petaluma Blvd South and D Street, downtown Petaluma. It is free to the public.
Confirmed Speakers:
MEDEA BENJAMIN – co-founder of Code Pink and Global Exchange
WILL DURST – Political comedian extraordinaire
CON. LYNN WOOLSEY – retiring co-chair of the Progressive Caucus in Congress.

Seasteading Author Joe Quirk will deliver a speech at Burning Man's Tedx: "How Ocean Cities will Save the Environment, Cure Diseases, Feed the World, and Jettison Millions Out of Poverty"
The 2012 TEDxBRC theme will be "PRO:CREATION" (see Theme) and will revolve around the nature and possibilities of Creativity. TEDxBlackRockCity will take place on August 30, 2012 at 1PM, located at Play)A(Skool —9:45 & Esplanade.
Joe Quirk is a bestselling novelist and bestselling science writer. Joe is co-writing a book with Patri Friedman, grandson of Milton Friedman, called Seasteading: How ocean cities will save the environment, cure diseases, feed the world and jettison millions out of poverty.
Global warming. Overfishing. Food shortages. Fresh water depletion. Peak oil. Resource wars. Poverty. Health care crisis. Government gridlock.
Nine entrepreneurs plan to solve these nine global problems by building sustainable cities on the ocean. Inspired by Burning Man, Patri Friedman proposed "seasteads," where ocean pioneers will be free to experiment with new societies. His idea has stirred a tsunami of marine biologists, nautical engineers, maritime lawyers, and a billionaire to make Patri's vision a reality.
Neil Sims, fisheries biologist, is transforming carbon pollution into sashimi-grade fish. Ricardo Radulovich, marine agriculturalist, plans to feed billions with seaweed and give farmland back to the songbirds. Lissa Morganthaler-Jones, a biotech entrepreneur, plans to replace oil with pond scum to end Middle East wars. Michael Strong, education entrepreneur, plans to jettison millions out poverty with "a thousand floating Hong Kongs."
Seasteading Enthusiast Steven Fowkes is opening his home for our this San Francisco Bay area meetup. Please visit the meetup page to RSVP.
Steven Fowkes address is 22560 Poppy Drive, Cupertino, CA.
This gathering will be held outdoors, so bring layers in case the temp drops in the evening.
Chef Joni will create a simple gourmet meal, served buffet style. A plate of food costs $15 per person, which should compare to the cost at a restaurant. If you have food issues, send them to Steve (firstname.lastname@example.com). The entree will be chicken and there will be plenty of veggies.
The house is three minutes from the Highway 85 Interstate 280 interchange. Exit off 280 at Foothill (the first exit north of 85). If you are coming north on 85, take the 280N exit, stay in the rightmost lane and immediately exit onto Foothill. Turn left at the light. If you are coming north on 280, watch the merge! The Foothill exit is very close to 85 and there is only 99.44 feet to make the merge for the Foothill exit.
There is a waterfall-creek feature next to the patio which makes a great place to hang out and talk. The creek will be running by 6:00 PM, if you get there early.
Ambassador Matt Pritchard of The Seasteading Institute will be featured at the NYU College Libertarian at their third meeting of 2012:
We often hear people gripe about government and society in general. Often times these sort of conversations begin with the words, "If only we could…"
In Pritchard's case, it might begin, "If only we could create floating micronations on the open sea." Wait, what? Yes. You read that correctly. The Seasteading Institute aims to establish floating cities which will give people the opportunity to peacefully test new ideas about how to live together, the most successful becoming thriving societies that might provide cues to the rest of the world.
Intrigued? Then stop by on Tuesday to hear more from the man himself, and while you wait on the edge of your seat for the date to near, try to imagine how nice a floating Libertarian society would be.
On October 29, Miguel Lamas Pardo will be presenting his PhD dissertation, "Establishing Offshore Autonomous Communities: Current Choices and Their Proposed Evolution," at the University Francisco Marroquin (UFM), a leading South American educational institution located in Guatemala. UFM is known as a leading light promoting free thought and free societies. They have awarded Honorary Doctoral Degrees to distinguished proponents of liberty including Institute co-founder, Peter Thiel, and Nobel Prize winning economists Milton Friedman, Friedrich Hayek, James Buchanan and Vernon Smith. UFM places a heavy emphasis on public choice theory, a line of thought that heavily influenced the intellectual foundation of seasteading and related enterprises. Miguel's dissertation builds on this foundation and explores the practical possibilities for seasteading. The piece was translated into English last year, and can be downloaded on our engineering research page.
Join Students For Liberty at the University of California Berkeley in Berkeley, CA on Saturday, November 3 for the 2012 Students For Liberty Northern California Regional Conference. Berkeley is home to one of the strongest pro-liberty student groups in the country and the UC Berkeley Students For Liberty are proud to welcome students from across California to the home of the free speech movement for one incredible event celebrating liberty.
Several members of the seasteading community recently launched an Indiegogo campaign to support the Voice & Exit event in Austin, TX, to be held on Saturday, March 9, 2013 (in parallel with the SXSW interactive conference). The event is designed to bring people together in celebration of big ideas, social entrepreneurship and radical community formation. Speakers will include Max Marty, CEO of the seasteading startup Blueseed, along with Institute board member Michael Strong, Reason Magazine Senior Editor Jacob Sullum, and many more. Each of the speakers will highlight a different vision for using innovative social technologies and persuasion, rather than coercive institutions, to move toward more collaborative communities.
From the campaign homepage:
We know that people are individuals with unique visions to share. But forming community means finding common values. Within a diverse range of communities, individuals will be able to seek out environments they believe best contribute to their thriving. In a world with so many different possible forms of association, everyone will need both the right to voice her opinion and the right to exit if a community isn't working for her. So we ask: What if humanity placed higher value on the rights of voice and exit? What would the world look like? We think it would be a world of continuous innovation – a world in which people "criticize by creating." This is what Voice & Exit is all about.
Those who are interested can contribute to the inaugural event, or contact the campaign organizers at email@example.com.
Ephemerisle is a floating celebration of community, learning, art and seasteading.
We construct a floating city on the Sacramento River Delta and live on it for five days. Ephemerisle has elements of Burning Man in the early 1990s: a new adventure into an alien environment, with discoveries, adventures, and mishaps along the way.
There are no tickets, no central organizers, and no rangers to keep you safe.
We are pleased to have seasteading ambassador and Florida congressional candidate Gabriel Rothblatt as the guest speaker for this July's seasteading meetup. We hope to see Fiddler's Green Seasteading Meetups make a comeback, after a period of inactivity, thanks to Gabriel's initiation. Gabriel has brought enthusiasm and a compelling perspective to the ambassadors team – now he is using his campaign for Florida's 8th District (commonly known as the Space Coast) to spread many of the values of the core seasteading community.
While the Institute does not formally endorse political candidates, we are glad to provide Gabriel with a platform to draw much-needed attention to future technology and its impact on society. Born on the 100th anniversary of the man who invented the orbit-breaking rocket, and pioneered GPS and satellite communication, Gabriel had a childhood dream to be the first mayor of an orbital colony. For him, the closest realization of that dream today is becoming the Representative from the Space Coast. In a time when politicians are becoming increasingly short-sided, we see wisdom in Gabriel's plan to restore government as an investor in science and technology. His education agenda is based on the recognition that our current system is producing false expectations and a mismatch with the real-world economy, and that young people must be equipped with skills for jobs that may not exist yet.
Gabriel has experienced multiple systems of education, from home schooling to military academies. He has worked in industries ranging from factories to franchising. Gabriel has also maintained a marriage for over a decade, and has four kids. Supporting his family on a single income in a tough economy, Gabriel knows from personal experience what it takes to achieve the American dream in the new millennium.
"Seasteading, transhumanism, human longevity and the singularity are not concepts the general public are ready to comprehend. My presence in the political arena will force a discussion on these matters, and I have decided that I would rather loose and allow them better acknowledgement, than win by distancing myself. That being said I fully intend to win this election. By expressing my passionate understanding of the intended path of space colonization (which includes seasteading as a necessary precursor), I can swing enough points to push Bill Posey from office." – Gabriel Rothblatt, July 2013
Seasteaders and Ephemerislers are invited to gather for a potluck to celebrate the holiday season.
When: Sunday, December 8, 2013 – 9:00am until 11:30am
Where: Infinity Club Lounge, 333 Main Street, San Francisco, CA
The Seasteading Institute will provide light fare, coffee, tea, and mimosas, plus plates, cups, and utensils. We encourage attendees to bring a dish to share.
The Institute will give a brief update on its progress with The Floating City Project. We will share the latest seastead concept, along with insights about the market for residential seasteads, and the prospects for finding a suitable location in a host nation's territorial waters to develop the first seastead by the end of the decade.
Ephemerislers are invited to share success (and failure) stories of the growing festival, and inspire novel ideas for 2014.
We look forward to seeing all of our old friends and making new ones.
Happy Holidays!

We have a big(ger) problem at OL if Pouncey can't go.
On the other side of the ball, however, we can have success against that OL if we want it. Bulaga and Clifton both gave up their share of sacks (about 20 between them IIRC) and they're certainly not better than the Jets' or even the Ravens' OL. I don't see Rodgers having the time to look downfield all that often. Jennings has a slight edge on Ike, Jones will have the usual success versus McFadden, Driver has been pretty much a non-factor this year, and I like Timmons as much as any 'backer in the league on the tight end. In short, my early thinking is that this will NOT be a repeat of last year's shootout, probably more in the range of 47-52 total points.
A shabby Charlie Brown.

Legursky acquitted himself nicely yesterday. Sure, he's no Pouncey but if he's what there is then what can you do? Guess Arians will have to not plan on running right up the middle. Or Kemo will have to help out more on the big guy.

I was less thrilled with Legursky, but it is what it is. Never thought we'd allow another safety, but at least Legursky should get more snaps in the leadup to XLV even if Pouncey is a maybe. Which, I have no idea how he magically comes back from that nasty HAS. Seriously.
Pack has a great matchup edge in their WR3 and WR4 guys (ostensibly Jordy Nelson and James Jones, although as noted by Penso, Driver lagged behind both in 2010 reg season stats). They won't run for shit, though, and their TE dropoff after Finley got IR'd is notable. Also, looked like Rodgers took a swell hit to the noggin, and his 2H was quite the dropoff. 14 offensive 1H points, 0 2H? He's had some concussions, and I wonder if he's just being the anti-Cuntler and toughing it out when maybe he should have allowed the QB2 to take snaps. Just sayin': concussions don't always clear up in 2 weeks.
Both teams are teams that are capable of playing a great half, and then doing little to nothing, as evidenced yesterday.
Even if Pouncey is back, Raji is going to destroy the A gap. More my disdain for our duo of guards than of the centers, really. Matthews takes the Suggs role, so we know what to expect. Don't expect much from our passing game, as this GBPD has been outstanding. But Hanie did get some good completions against them, along with the predictable turnovers considering he's a QB3 (well, QB2, since Collins = shit). So that might give some clues on how to attack. But I think that we will be able to find some running room. If Mendy and Redman can duplicate some of the 1H success versus the NYJD in XLV, it spells a good outcome. Mendy was tearing off chunks like Bruce the shark.
Contrariwise, GHPO ain't running, so it will be all passing, period. They can dissect mediocre defenses (Falcons), and they got the early jump on the Bears, but the Bears tightened the screws and allowed only 14 points. If the Steelers can similarly batten the hatches, we might see that vaunted attack shut down.
Whatever happens, I respect the Packers as potent foes moreso than the Cards or Hags, and as an org moreso than most NFL teams. Just hope we send 'em home with the consolation prize.
Out of my mind on Saturday night...

Early predictions are starting to float around that this will be another shootout akin to their matchup last year. Vegas is at least trying to sell that story somewhat considering the O/U (45.5). Personally though, I could easily see this game being more along the lines of the GB/Jets game this year. Well, maybe not that low scoring, but IMO, right now I like the under in this one.

I'm sitting here fretting over the looming evisceration at the hands of Green Bay in two weeks.
Rodgers finds Jennings for 25! Starks up the middle for eight and a half and another Green Bay first down! Raji simply walks through the middle of the line hitting Mendenhall and causing his third fumble of the game! Tramon Williams with a new super bowl record 106 yard interception return, breaking James Harrison's old mark!
The way Rodgers has been eating defenses-- except the last two quarters of the NFCC, natch-- it seems completely reasonable for Green Bay to be favorites. I'm even about to call my guy and put some down on Green Bay before the line goes up to 5 1/2 or 6.
And then I remember. The NFC championship game. The
championship game. The Packers were the lowest seed in what might be the worst top-to-bottom conference in living memory. I know they're peaking at the right time; I know they gave the Patriots a hard time late in the year (or did they expose the Patriots? Maybe it would have been a good year to play New England in the playoffs after all). But still. Who they beat? Atlanta? Big damn deal.
But... it's a good thing when the Steelers aren't the story. I think Rex Ryan implicitly understood this, which is why there was no real trash talk in the week before the AFCC.

I definitely think the Packers are better than the Seahawks or Cardinals, and in my opinion, it's not close. We should have destroyed our earlier opponents, and it's disappointing that we didn't.
But then again, lots of teams, for a variety of reasons, don't seem to play their best in the Super Bowl. Aside from their game against the Rams, the Patriots have underperformed their regular season performance in every Super Bowl they've been in.
The Packers are the best team in the league this year, in my view. They have a great, versatile passing game that can play the dink-and-dunk like New England but also make big plays down the field and on broken plays like Pittsburgh. That's a handful right there.
They also have a great defense that cooled off New England and Atlanta. They can cover, they can zone blitz, they get turnovers. They will give our offense a very hard time, I think.
The Packers seem vulnerable to me when it comes to their running game, which I am confident will be stone-cold shut down. And their offensive line gave up sacks in bunches at times.
Other advantages the Steelers have include Super Bowl experience. Pittsburgh won't be overwhelmed by the situation, the team knows how to prepare for the game, and, furthermore, the pressure is really on Green Bay. It's the worst of all worlds for them. They are going up against a Super Bowl-tested QB with nothing to prove; it's not like Ben
another Super Bowl win. And yet, Ben is very motivated to have a great game, though, to shut up the critics who think he's been out-quarterbacked in the other two.
Overall, I respect the Packers, I'm glad we have a quality opponent, it's appropriate that they should be the favorites - and yet, I feel strangely confident the Steelers win. should be a great game.

I'm not confident. Hopeful, but not confident.
I think Green Bay has the edge on talent, mainly because of the condition of our O line. We won't run as well as we did against the Jets in the first half, and pass protection will be an issue as usual.
Coaching, I like Lebeau vs. anybody, hate Arians vs. anybody, HC probably even, so it's a wash. Unlike SB XXX, when a large talent disadvantage was almost overcome by an equally large coaching advantage.
Looks like advantage Pack, but we have a great intangible on both sides of the ball (Ben and Troy), where they have a very good defense but not that one out of this world game changer.
Honestly I think it will be close, conservative game until the 4th quarter when Rodgers and Ben get into a game of
Can you Top This
, and put up about 5 scores in the 4th, coming down to the last minute drive.
I'd love to see the first OT Super Bowl, with the new rules. GB gets the ball and kicks a FG, leaving Ben in a true do or die situation, with 4th down at his disposal. Takes it methodically down the field for the game winning TD., giving all the Steeler/Ben haters plenty to bitch about and excuses to make.
Of course, I wouldn't actually SEE it since by that point the stress would have me convulsing on the floor with blood coming out my ears, but would still be cool.

If that happened, the entire media and (non-steeler) internet boards everywhere would go into complete meltdown. Imagine the number of "THE REFS CHANZED THE RULKZ SO RAPISTBERGER WOULD WIN" posts. It would be glorious.

I'm not confident. Hopeful, but not confident.
The majority of Steelers games seem to be gut wrenching affairs. I expect no different.
Unless someone gets blown out, I don't think the loser of this game will get much bad press, unless there's a clear goat.
The Packers have always been the NFC Steelers, to me. Can't really like the Steelers, yet dislike the Pack.
That said, we just have to find a way to win this game. I know...it's getting kinda greedy, but you never know when the next chance will show itself.

The massive omnibus spending bill unveiled by congressional appropriators Monday night includes restoration of the full annual cost of living adjustment for medically retired service members and eligible survivors.
The provision preserves annual increases in military retirement pay for those with service connected injuries or illnesses deemed serious enough to warrant retirement as well as those who receive annuity payments under the Survivor Benefit Plan.
But it falls short of what most military advocacy groups seek: a repeal of the cuts for all military retirees under age 62.
The bill reflects careful decisions to realign the nations funding priorities and target precious tax dollars to important programs where they are needed the most, Rep. Hal Rogers, R-Ky., said in a statement Monday.
The $1.012 trillion bill includes all 12 annual bills that provide funding for discretionary spending, including $572 billion for the Defense Department. It meets the requirements of a budget agreement forged last month by Rep. Paul Ryan, R-Wisc., and Sen. Patty Murray, D-Wash., setting budget limits and trimming the effects of sequestration.
Included in that legislation was the provision that limited the annual cost-of-living adjustment for military retirees under age 62 to 1 percentage point less than the annual inflation in consumer prices, starting in December 2015.
The measure has generated an uproar among veterans groups who contend that the reductions are a breach of faith for those who chose to become professional troops with an understanding of the risks as well as the compensation benefits.
And some lawmakers have introduced legislation to undo the cuts, which amount to $6 billion in savings, entirely.
A spokesman for Sen. Jeff Sessions, R-Ala., said Tuesday that the lawmaker, who sought to undo the provision in December before it was approved, believes it is unfair to exempt only 10 percent of retirees.
An equivalent amount of savings and more can be easily found, and I hope the Senate will move to address the unbalanced treatment of our service members, Sessions said.
Few see a rush to change, however, as the reduction does not go into effect for two years and in the meantime, a congressional-mandated commission, the Military Compensation and Retirement Modernization Commission, is expected to make recommendations on the future of military pay and benefits.
But others staunchly have defended the cuts, including architect Ryan, who wrote in a USA TODAY editorial last December that the reform only affects younger military retirees, many of whom are eligible to retire in their early 40s go on to have second careers.
All this reform does is make a small adjustment for those younger retirees ... This is a far more modest reform than other bipartisan proposals, some of which would have fully eliminated the adjustments for inflation for working-age retirees, Ryan wrote.
Members of the Military Coalition, an umbrella group of 33 organizations that represents 5.5 million active and retired servicemembers, say they will continue pressing for repeal.
If you can do this to retirement, whats next, changing the GI Bill, cutting commissary benefits, capping military pay, housing? All these things are starting to burble to the surface and concern military members and families, said retired Air Force Col. Mike Hayden, government relations director for the Military Officers Association of America.
The omnibus spending bill will not be passed by the time an existing continuing resolution expires Wednesday at 11:59 p.m. EST. A three-day stopgap measure has been introduced that is expected to pass to keep the government open past Wednesday evening with the deadline for the omnibus expected Saturday.

Good for southlake. Hmmm....new fire engines and computers, etc while possibly poisoning yourself and your children.
I'm amazed that so many are so blind to the potential dangers of tracking. Unbelievable! Aesbestos was once declared safe. So was lead paint. DDT...the list can go on and on.
Too bad southlake is an island surrounded by drilling and they are breathing polluted air anyway.

This derby is killing me... I already bought the shirt yesterday... and now i'm buying this one too. Love Love the why bother size! and if only they sell trente
I'm feeling a bit left out this derby round. I don't do coffee in any of it's incarnations. Oh well, there'll be plenty of nerdy math/science/video game shirts coming later. ;P
Excuse my terrible ignorance...but the "Why Bother" size would be traditionally known as Tall, right?

awesome work, congrats on another print!
I always thought a "Why bother?" was a decaf ...
Truthfully, I'm more of a soda drinker, so all of them are a "why bother," to me. Still, I'd almost buy the tiny one just so the poor little guy wouldn't have to feel so left out.

Why Bother is actually barista slang for a sugar-free (if there's syrup,) decaf, nonfat latte.

Trenta isn't an option for hot drinks. But yeah, I don't think I've gotten anything smaller than a grande in many years.

Can I pay with my Starbucks card?
There should be a Sub-caption saying, This Information was based off a study of starving college students, all drinks were fully caffeinated.
Whoa! Totally did not expect to see this today. Thanks so much for choosing my cute cups filled with some type of caffeinated beverage that is not necessarily coffee!! *True confessions: I usually get the Tall which we all know should really be called a Short. :P
Perfect shirt for all the fat Americans who think drinking that much coffee and/or milk is appropriate. Yet another example of how Starbucks is ruining coffee. But maybe this is just the bitter Batista (of an independent coffee shop) of 10 years in me talking.

My impression is that Starbucks gives you pretty much the same amount of espresso no matter what size you order, and just fills the rest with milk foam and sugar syrup. I think if I were a barista at an independent coffee shop, I'd be more annoyed by people ordering "venti" sizes, or "macchiatos" and expecting a drink which is not a macchiato in any sense of the word.
YOU LEfT OFF the size: SHORT http://starbucksorder.tumblr.com/drinksizes
Congrats fishbiscuit5
how do you say gallon in italian?
How dare you order a tall with one shot of espresso. You need a gallon of coffee to start the day cause this is 'merica!
Pleasant surprise ... I really like this shirt. As some have pointed out, Starbucks doesn't have a Trenta/SuperSize for hot drinks. However, a Starbucks secret that most people don't know about is that Starbucks actually sells a size smaller than the tall (12 oz). It's called a short (8 oz) and is usually about 20-30 cents cheaper than the tall. The stores are actually supposed to have the short-sized cups in stock, even if it's not advertised on the boards. The short size, for me, is something along the lines of, "Don't bother." Starbucks might agree.
Starbucks is to coffee what keystone light is to beer.

Bowers, was born april29, 1829, at Moore's Hill, Indiana. In 1851 Bowers obtained a law degree from teh State University at Blomington, Indiana. After practicing law in Indiana for a short imte, Bowers came to Burnet (then called Hamilton), Texas, in march 1853 with $4.25 in his pocket and no prospects. He Organized a school which he taught briefly before developing a law practice in Burnet and the vicinity. Narrowly defeated in an election for District Judge in the fall of 1856, by February of 1857, Bowers claimed not to be political althoughhe usually voted with the Democratic Party. By November 15, 1856, bowers was in Austin practicing law where he was at different times in partnership with J.J. Dennis and Alexander Stewart Walker. During the summer after his move to Austin, Bowers had a severe attack of what he called hemorrhage of the lungs, the disease which would eventually kill him. After his marriage in Indiana to mary M. Batterton (16 September 1858), Bowers considered moving to Cincinnatti to set up a law practice but found he could not leave his new home in Texas.

During the troubled days of reconstruction following the Civil War, Bowers delivered a speech in the Senate which opposed the right of the Governor to declare martial law. That speech was said to be one of the factors which resulted in the overthrow of the radical regime in Texas. A devout Baptist and a member of the Masonic Order, Bowers died on march 3, 1872, at his home in Austin of consumption after having suffered from the disease for much of his life. He was survived by a widow and four daughters, a son having preceded him in death. |

What do you think of the
SUGOi RS Glove
? Share a...
Good price and good quality
- Familiarity: I've put it through the wringer
This is my first time having Sugoi stuff. I'm very satisfied with the brand. Can tell you the padding is very comfy and didn't have problems with the size. Could be because I have small hands.
Sugoi RS glove
- Familiarity: I returned this product before using it
These gloves run very small, don't believe the size chart.
Great padding
First Sugoi glove and I am impressed
- Gender: Male
I had many gloves or maybe too many cycling gloves because I wear them out or loose them. I saw the Sugoi RS on sales and I could not resist it. I have Sugoi bib and jersey so the glove must be good. I was not wrong, I like the fitting and very happy with the quality. Let's see if it will survive the heavy cycle season in and machine wash. (I air dry them). I love that it fit nice like a glove without the velcro strap and sufficient padding. I love the padding the wrist which is perfect for road cycling.

This is of course your decision but, if you want to do a windows version then just do it. You'll be the first and maybe only one providing a gpl benchmark software for Windows. If you can, go for it
Phoronix: Windows 7 Benchmarking With The Phoronix Test Suite?
One of the most common questions that gets brought up with regard to the Phoronix Test Suite is whether support for Microsoft Windows will ultimately come to our open-source benchmarking platform. After all, even on Windows there really is no public software readily available (as far as we know) that is quite like what we have designed with an extensible test profile architecture/framework, support for uploading of any tests to a central repository (Phoronix Global), full automation of the testing process, remote test management (Phoromatic), etc...
This is of course your decision but, if you want to do a windows version then just do it. You'll be the first and maybe only one providing a gpl benchmark software for Windows. If you can, go for it
Then what about providing a donation system specifically for you to buy a Windows 7 disc, putting a counter showing when you reach the goal, for example if Windows 7 costs 100$ you put a counter and when you reach it you stop the donation system and then get a Windows copy
Just an idea of course
It would be very interesting to see which one of the two systems is faster in what areas.
What do you need a port for? Just use "anti-wine" to run it on Windows, :P
Even better, why waste money on Microsoft.
Please test those GPL programs which are available on Windows but have no Linux version. They are more than you might believe.
At work, I use Notepad++ instead of the standard Windows Notepad. Notepad++ is only available for Windows.
I run Notepad++ perfectly through wine, but have not tried benchmarking it, like replacing 1,000,000 comma-signs with a semicolon; that is more common than you might think, for a moderately large table with 100 columns and 10,000 rows.
SourceForge and Freshmeat can list many more GPL programs which are Windows only.

I don't think that compile benchmarks are needed on win - you can only use em as hardware test or maybe to figure out kernel differences but NOT betweens distros/win systems. You compare gcc X vs. gcc Y. But if you want to test gfx speed then use the precompiled binaries for the multiplattform games/benchmarks, that makes more sense and shoulnd need so much time to implement. Time
start /w xxx.exe
For those which have got binaries - maybe special handling for those apps currently tested via wine.
I'm willing to donate despite the fact that it will go to MS.
To have Win 7 32 and 64, XP and Vista yo need less then 1k USD.
It will help Linux in general since (PR anyone).
in addition to
1. More Secure
2. More Customizable (personal)
3. More Stable
we can have
4. Definitely faster.
and it will help developers to focus on the parts where improvement needed (read slower than Win).

Brady Fuller joined the Uley pack at the age of 13, making him one of the youngest known shapeshifters. On his grandmother's side, he is a distant relative to the Ateara and Clearwater families.
He is portrayed by Swo-wo Gabriel in the first movie adaptation of Breaking Dawn.
Early life
Brady Fuller was born and raised in La Push, Washington. He joined the Uley pack shortly after Leah and Seth Clearwater started phasing, without his parents knowing.
Brady makes his first appearance in the series in Eclipse, when the pack meets the Cullens to learn how to defeat a newborn vampire army created by Victoria.
Due to their age and inexperience, he and Collin are ordered to remain behind to guard the tribe and La Push while the rest of the pack fight off the newborn vampire army. Like Collin, he only appears in wolf form.
Breaking Dawn
In Breaking Dawn, Brady remains in the Uley pack when Jacob forms his own pack - joined by Seth and Leah - to defend a pregnant Bella and the Cullens from their offense.
Even after everything was resolved, Brady still remains with Sam, as one of the "pups" of the tribe.
Brady makes his first movie appearance in Breaking Dawn - Part 1, at First Beach with the rest of his pack and their imprinted lovers. He later appears in wolf form while spying on the Cullens' house. When Emmett, Carlisle and Esme run out to hunt, he and Collin chase them, only to lose them at the ravine and alert the others. He is also present when Sam goes to tell Billy that they may have to fight him to get to the baby and then erupt a fight with the Cullens until Jacob emerges to stop them.
He takes part in the show of force against the Volturi near the end of Breaking Dawn, standing alongside the packs, the Cullens and their allies in defense against the Volturi's confrontation. In Alice's vision, he is seen destroying a Volturi guard with Collin's help, while Sam gets ready to kill Jane.
Physical appearance
Brady is noted as having black hair and brown eyes, and being nearly 6 feet tall.
In the movie, his hair is dark brown, and he is shorter than Sam, Embry, Paul, Quil and Jared.
Wolf form
In wolf form, Brady has dark, ashy-brown fur that almost appears gray. In the films however, his fur is gray with brown spots on his forehead and sides.
Film portrayal
Brady Fuller is portrayed by Canadian actor Swo-wo Gabriel in Breaking Dawn - Part 1. In the ending credits of Breaking Dawn - Part 2, he is credited as "Young Quileute".

Lincecum, Beckett look to start seasons off right
Three years ago, it would have made for a marquee Opening Day pitching matchup.
Instead, when Giants right-hander Tim Lincecum and Dodgers righty Josh Beckett square off in Wednesday's 7:10 p.m. PT series finale at Dodger Stadium, both pitchers will be taking the mound with something to prove in 2013.
For Lincecum, it's a matter of showing that his disastrous 2012 season was truly an aberration. After winning back-to-back National League Cy Young Awards in 2008-09 and finishing in the top 10 in the voting in '10-11, Lincecum wasn't even recognizable last season.
He posted career worsts in nearly every major pitching category, including losses (15), ERA (5.18) and walks (90), all while failing to throw a single complete game in 33 starts.
"I think I want what any player wants," said Lincecum, whose ERA last year jumped more than two runs from 2.74 in 2011. "At the end of the year you want to be playing in October and into November. Obviously on a personal note, coming off a lackluster year for me, coming back and surprising myself in a way and obviously surprising some [other] people would be a big thing for me."
Beckett gained his share of doubters last season as well, after struggling for a majority of the season with the Red Sox. He went just 5-11 with a 5.23 ERA in 21 starts in Boston before a late August trade sent him to Los Angeles, where he put up a much more respectable 2.93 ERA in seven starts.
The key, in Beckett's mind, to turning things around in 2013 will rely heavily on his performance the first few times through the rotation.
In 2010, Beckett had a 7.22 ERA in five April starts en route to a 6-6 record and career-worst 5.78 ERA. The following year, he started strong with a 2.65 April ERA leading to a solid 13-7, 2.89 ERA bounceback campaign. His early-season struggles returned last season, with the veteran going 2-3 with a 4.45 ERA in the opening month on his way to a long summer in Boston.
"In years when I've been good, I feel like I've gotten off to a good start and built some confidence in April," Beckett said. "In years where I fall behind, whether it be health or results, I've had some struggles trying to catch back up. I think a lot of that is just me being stubborn and trying to make up a few starts in one start and then I fall behind. I'm looking to get out to a good start."
That figures to be easier said than done Wednesday, as not only will each pitcher be dealing with the added individual pressure, but they will also be battling for the early bragging rights in the rubber match of one of the game's fiercest rivalries.
"You naturally rise to the occasion here because of the rivalry," Lincecum said. "Playing for the Giants, Dodger Blue is obviously going to get you a little bit more riled up. I think the environment here adds to that, too."
Giants: Belt dealing with illness
First baseman Brandon Belt sat out Tuesday's 3-0 victory due to nausea and a lack of energy. Belt initially played through the illness Monday, going 0-for-3 with two strikeouts, but felt even worse upon reporting to the clubhouse Tuesday.
Manager Bruce Bochy called the timing of Belt's illness "a shame, really" considering the first baseman was coming off a stellar Spring Training in which he hit .410 with eight home runs and 19 RBIs.
On Tuesday, Belt was replaced in the lineup by utility man Joaquin Arias, who went 2-for-4 with a pair of singles and an RBI. Bochy is hopeful that Belt can return to the lineup for Wednesday's series finale.
Dodgers: Crawford expected to return Wednesday
Carl Crawford is expected to start Wednesday's series finale in left field after being held out of Tuesday's starting lineup for precautionary reasons. He entered as a pinch-hitter in the ninth inning, popping out before Mark Ellis struck out to end the game.
Coming off Tommy John surgery last August, Crawford is still working his left elbow back to full strength after being limited to 31 games with the Red Sox last season. He went 2-for-4 on Opening Day, singling in his first at-bat and later doubling and scoring a run during the Dodgers' decisive eighth-inning rally.
"We want to be able to ease him in," manager Don Mattingly said.
Jerry Hairston Jr. started in Crawford's place Tuesday, going 0-for-3 out of the leadoff spot before giving way to Crawford with one out and nobody on in the final inning.
Worth noting
• This is the first time in Matt Kemp's six full seasons with the Dodgers that he has gone hitless (0-for-6 with two strikeouts) through the first two games. From 2009-12, Kemp was a combined 13-for-31 (.419) with two homers and nine RBIs in the Dodgers' first two games of each season.
• The Dodgers and Giants have played to a perfect 37-37 split in their 74 meetings since the start of the 2009 season.

Honda's Fuya-jo Party-on-wheels Concept
Article Summary
History has produced some wonderful concept cars that became significant production models. It has also produced many that were somewhat less than well received. Japan in particular, has an automotive culture which takes significant chances with its concept vehicles, and is often prepared to go well beyond the traditional to explore new niche markets. One such long shot was the Fuya Jo from Honda – the vehicle whose name means "Sleepless City", was designed specifically to transport "party animals who demand the full excitement of night life."

A wind farm is a collective of wind turbines in an area that is used to produce energy. Some of the wind farms in Texas cover large areas and the remaining pasture is used for agriculture purposes. Texas produces more electricity than any other state in the United States. The wind farms consist of over 40 different projects and create 10 of the total renewable energy resources in the state.
The state's Renewal Portfolio Standard was created in 1999 a provided a marketplace for trading renewal energy resources. http://www.electricitycompaniestexas.com/, and The programs created rules and regulations for public and private utility companies to collect money for providing various renewable energy resources and wind energy has been a profitable project.
Individual land owners have benefited monetarily by providing their land for wind turbine use and are compensated with royalties. Wind turbine installation and technology has also created high paying jobs and jumpstarted local communities for West Texas.
Energy credits are paid for by companies and individuals towards generating electricity for Texas communities through the use of wind turbines. Many website companies advertise that they offset their electricity usage for renewal energy credits and these benefit the communities that promote renewal energy resources and technology in the United States and Canada.
Texas is leading the country in construction and technical innovation for wind turbine energy. Every two years the state requires that the 40 projects increase the amount of megawatts of electricity. There is currently a storing system for wind energy being constructed in Texas to store excess amounts of electricity that were not being previously stored.
This year a construction project started in Texas for the largest wind turbine farm in the country with 650 wind turbines generating 1,100 megawatts of electricity. Wind turbines are typically installed in phases over a two year period. The projects can be expanded with new technology and when additional acres become available from local communities leasing their land for wind turbine usage.
Roscoe wind farm currently generated in 2012 the largest amount of electricity than any other wind farm in Texas with 781 megawatts of electricity per year and comes in a close second to a larger farm in California. China also joins the United States in collecting electricity through wind turbines. Locally and internationally wind turbines are a great investment for individuals and local utility companies betting on the future of renewal resources.
