As far as hue-themed songs go, purple really pulled the short straw. Black has it made (Paint It, Back In), White is all set (Room), Blue had its eponymous 90s dance track, but purple? Purple Rain? Come on. That doesn't even make sense. Rain isn't purple, it's grey. Or maybe blue. Anyway here are some purple shirts.

PURPLE!!! Would it be wrong if I ordered one of each? These are all so amazing! Thank you Travis, thank you artists, thank you everyone who posted on the Purple Plus Planning Thread!
Just so you all know, Fresh Cake Remix is my 100th woot!
I own the original "Night Life" (one of my all time favorite Woot shirts) but I gotta say... it looks stunning in eggplant. Might have to pick one up.

Ohhhhh, perfect! And either welcome to the Black Square Club or condolences on your membership.
It says "manufactured in USA" for most of these... does this mean they're not the Anvil blanks?
Yay! Yay! YAY! Fresh Cake has been ordered! Now, I'm off to look at the others and see what else I want. YAY!
Congratulations! What a worthy design for a 100th Woot!

Bought...waffling on one more. Love the purple.
Awesome, awesome, awesome! And, now I'm broke! Picked up 2 so far, and depleted my supply of jumbowoot coupons. I am trying to scrounge up for at least one more! Thank you for making this happen. It's the best woot day in months! Hope to see a similar Teal sale in the future!
Agreed on a big thanks to the artist and TGentry for making this happen. Now to decide which shirts I should get; decisions, decisions.

Purple I love! But AA, not so much. :/ I know, I'm one of those people. Only design I'd really want would be the foxes, so cute, but I'm less inclined to buy AA L when Anvil S fits me soooooo much better. At least I got the foxes on a tote bag during that big random side sale a few months back.
AA purple! Oh happy day!

Totally Awesome Deer is one of my favorite shirts to accidentally run across + I think it looks even better on purple. Nice.
AA blanks? Purple? Fresh Cake? Nyan Cat's Dream? Wait...am I dreaming? I'm not? Squeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee!!!!!! Shut up & take my money, then. :-)
Totally love the design on awesome deer. I'm going to feel like a jackass walking around not knowing what the characters say though. edit: Someone translated for the original shirt: 健 - "health" 絶対すごい - Absolutely amazing.

I'm a purple cupcake eater. Arrest me for frostitution!!! Can't wait for it to arrive!!!
In for one Nyan Cat to support more American Apparel shirts!
Me too. Can they PLEASE make a much bigger warning that if women order their normal size, it will be two sizes too small!?
YES THANKS FOR THE SIZE REMINDER. BE MINDFUL OF THE SIZING! Consider leaning towards smaller, as these are on AA blanks. (NOW IMMA MAKE THAT A POST OF QUALITY SO PPL WILL SEE.) Sorry for the caps. I'm just....in a purple haze right now. I can't even tell ya.
I'm so excited!! My husband's first words this morning were "How many purple shirts did you buy?" Still deciding on the final tally...slightly dissappointed in the lack of kids sizes, but I'll take what I can get! Thanks tgentry for putting this sale together.
Congrats, you Woot whore you.

Ok, so just to be sure, these are the NEW sizes, not the OLD sizes where I had to order an XL instead of a M? So I should order a M? I want to be absolutely sure, because I NEED Fresh Cake! :D

Gallery: Denmark's New Odense Hospital is a Healing City of Glass Amid ...
The western part of the property will remain completely undeveloped to maintain the feel of the countryside and provide opportunities for recreation.
Hospital buildings at the OUH are closely clustered together in a dense circle, which is surrounded by a pedestrian ring and walkways that shoot off in spokes from the center. Visitors and patients are encouraged to stroll around the property and take in the landscape, which features dense old forests, extensive fields, hedges, ponds and channels. The western part of the property will remain completely undeveloped to maintain the feel of the countryside and provide opportunities for recreation. Even the inside of the hospital offers views of the tranquil countryside.
The buildings are all designed to maximize daylighting, and their height is kept below the height of the tallest old-growth tree. Rainwater is collected from the buildings and other impermeable areas to feed into a large wet meadow that will encourage a greater biodiversity of animals and plants. As Henning Larsen Architects says, "Numerous research projects have demonstrated that nature has a positive influence on patients' recovery. The objective of this project is to create a truly healing hospital environment merging all accessible knowledge, space, landscape and technology. "

Is it just me, or is that Olivia Wilde in the background of picture 11?

I always thought hospitals were just a little too clinical, as if they were designed by engineers… This is about right, because a substantial percentage of becoming healthy is just living your life. Trees, plants, wildlife and a big garden go a long way in putting people right again.

Does this 9' wood umbrella come with the canopy or just the umbrella and pole?
Last year I thought I was purchasing the canopy and pole, but I didn't understand what I was buying and I only received the 9' market canopy. Now I need the umbrella and pole so I can use the canopy.

With Pineda out, Phelps answers call vs. M's
Elias poised to deliver series win at hostile Yankee Stadium
With Michael Pineda serving a 10-game suspension and sidelined for up to four weeks due to a back strain, the Mariners will miss the chance to face their former teammate on Wednesday in the second act of a three-game series at Yankee Stadium.
Instead, it'll be Yankees right-hander David Phelps facing off against Seattle rookie Roenis Elias in the 7:05 p.m. ET game.
Pineda, an All-Star for Seattle in his rookie season of 2011 before being traded for Jesus Montero, was suspended for having a "foreign substance" on his body when umpires found pine tar on his neck during an April 23 game against the Red Sox.
Phelps will be making his first start of the season in Pineda's place. The 6-foot-2 right-hander has a 3.86 ERA in nine relief appearances this year, though he's 7-6 with a 4.39 ERA in 23 career starts, including 12 last year for the Yankees.
That's more starting experience than Elias brings to the mound for a Seattle club that has scrambled to fill out its rotation in the season's first month while All-Star right-hander Hisashi Iwakuma and highly regarded prospects Taijuan Walker and James Paxton have spent time on the disabled list.
Elias, a 25-year-old Cuban, stepped up in Spring Training and made the leap from Double-A ball to the starting rotation. He's 1-2 with a 3.54 ERA in five starts and will be making his first appearance against the Yankees.
In his last outing, a no-decision against the Rangers, Elias gave up five hits and three runs over 5 2/3 innings. The 6-foot southpaw kept his club close against Texas, striking out the final two batters of the fourth inning to escape a jam that led to just one run despite a double and three walks earlier in the frame.
The Mariners came from behind to win that game, and manager Lloyd McClendon was again pleased with the young left-hander.
"I thought he threw the ball pretty darn good," McClendon said. "Other than that one inning, I don't think he was really stressed most of the game. He made quality pitches and did a heck of a job for us."
Elias said it continues to be a sharp learning curve as he adjusts to life in the Majors after earning Southern League All-Star honors last year for Double-A Jackson.
"I got a little out of my rhythm [in the fourth inning against Texas]," Elias said through interpreter Fernando Alcala. "You have to attack hitters and stay ahead to control the game."
Phelps is 1-0 with a 1.23 ERA in two appearances against Seattle, including a six-inning start last June 9 at Safeco Field in which he allowed three hits and one run during a 2-1 victory. Manager Joe Girardi said he hopes to get about 70-75 pitches from Phelps, who last started on July 4 of last season in a 9-5 victory at Minnesota.
Mariners: Miller, Ackley expected back in lineup
Shortstop Brad Miller and left fielder Dustin Ackley weren't in the starting lineup against southpaw CC Sabathia for Tuesday's series-opening 6-3 Mariners win, but both are expected to play when Seattle faces right-handers Phelps and Hiroki Kuroda on Wednesday and Thursday, respectively.
Miller, hitting .174, was replaced by veteran utility man Willie Bloomquist in two games against Rangers left-handers last weekend and was on the bench again against Sabathia. Ackley went 1-for-15 in the last homestand and has lost time recently to the newly added Cole Gillespie.
"I did not want to put Miller back in the lineup against CC," McClendon said. "Giving him another day will not hurt as well."
As for Ackley?
"Just giving Ack a breather also against a tough lefty," McClendon said. "He's my left fielder and he'll play."
Ackley entered Monday's game as a pinch-hitter in the seventh and finished 2-for-2 with an RBI and a run scored.
Yankees: Pineda pulled from simulated game
Pineda pitched in a simulated game for the Yankees in Tampa, Fla., on Tuesday, but was pulled after one inning of work upon feeling tightness under his right arm.
An MRI exam revealed a Grade 1 strain of the teres major muscle in Pineda's upper back -- relatively good news, given that the soreness isn't in the shoulder area, where he previously had surgery. Pineda, 2-2 with a 1.83 ERA in four starts, was originally expected to start on Monday against the Angels when his 10-game suspension will end.
Worth noting
• Felix Hernandez, who is scheduled to start on Thursday against the Yankees, has 47 strikeouts in his first six starts this season to tie for the American League lead with David Price of the Rays at 10.23 strikeouts per nine innings.
• Mariners first baseman Justin Smoak had 14 RBIs in Seattle's first 24 games. Last year, Smoak didn't get his 14th RBI until July 7.
• Shortstop Brendan Ryan, currently on the 15-day DL for the Yankees with a cervical spine nerve injury, played rehab games for Class A Advanced Tampa on Sunday and Monday and went 3-for-8 with a walk and two RBIs.

Hello! I'm a recent college graduate, trying to find my way in the world. I love literature, politics, and tea. I work in the Information Technology field.
Favorites: black, oolong, rooibos, and white teas, pu- erh, mate, and chamomile. Blends that are vanilla, chocolate, nutty, or dessert-like are especially appealing to me.
I like green teas as long as they are blended with fruit and/ or spices, and I LOVE them when they're floral.
I have a love-hate relationship with kombucha, and I'm very picky about my chai- It has to have a high-quality black tea base and be heavy on the cinnamon and light on the nutmeg.
Dislikes: Plain green teas, honeybush, fruity herbals, hibiscus in high quantities, plain peppermint. (Although I am not opposed to trying blends that cross into these neighborhoods if they come from reputable companies.)
I'm not a swapper, but I hope we can still be friends :)
90-100: Perfection and heaven and magic, all in one cup.
70-89: Good.
50-69: Meh.

ICON Aircraft unveils fold-up amphibious sports plane
A recurring theme at Gizmag in recent times has been the growing accessibility of the recreational sports aircraft, with manufacturers offering increasingly versatile and user-friendly designs combined with falling price points. Like the Cessna SkyCatcher, the ICON A5, which was officially unveiled last week in Los Angeles, is a case in point. Powered by a 100hp Rotax 912 ULS engine achieving an estimated maximum speed of 105 kts (120 mph) and a range of 300 nm, the amphibious, two-seat, composite carbon fiber plane features a sportscar inspired cockpit and retractable landing gear for flying off land and water, but the standout element is the folding wing design which allows the plane to be towed on the road like a speed boat and stored at home rather than paying for space at an airport.

Wow! What an awesome day for Ashley and her fans. Congratulations to her. Finally. Her win took me a bit by surprised even though I knew it could happen. I like her programs this year so much better than last, although I am not HUGE fan of swan lake for her. She skated it very well but she definitely looked like she was trying to be a swan rather than just being a swan. That type of movement doesn't come naturally to her, although she might think it does. Still, I think Ashley moves fairly pleasantly and I would love to see the perfect vehicle for her one day. During her interview it was more than clear she is aware of what she has to do to be more competitive internationally - a 3-3, the two foot landings, the flutz, etc. It's just easier said than done, as the skaters are all aware of much more than we back seat critics are
I am glad Alissa pulled off a silver and a spot on the world team even though her skate was disappointing. At least it breaks her curse of soaring one year and completely plummeting the next. She was lucky of course that others made mistakes but that's the game, I suppose. Nothing to do but wish her well for worlds. I always enjoy her skating no matter what.
I just can't believe Mirai did this to herself AGAIN. I didn't watch the ladies short but as soon as I saw her take the ice in the long I had a feeling it wouldn't go well. She looked miserable and I hear her expression was similar in the short. What happened to the Mirai who looked so calm and fierce and happy when she took the ice at 2010 nationals??? I reckon other posters are right and her training just isn't going so well. Who knows how much the distance to Frank's rink affects her training but it certainly can't help. She just looked like she didn't feel ready. My heart goes out to her but in no way am I ever losing my faith in her, as long as she is still in the game.
Speaking of faith - go Caroline!! A good day for her fans who never lost faith in her too.
I missed Rachael's skate but glad to hear she picked herself back up after her short. Considering it was her first year at Standford, she at least showed she can keep it up even if she isn't where she once was. I don't know if she will retire so quickly like some believe. We shall see.
Agnes is not my absolute favorite but I do like her skating and I think she will only improve with time. She is sooo talented. I understand her flaws but no way can anyone dismiss her big jumps and her solid spins. It makes her very competitive. It must have been hard to fall from first because of mistakes but I hope she is happy with her bronze. In a way I would have liked for this to be her first trip to worlds. I don't know how she would have fared against the international field but there has to a first time for everything and Agnes is a skater who I would love to see grow and improve and become a leading American lady. Go Agnes!!
Mirai: I thought I'd read reports either on GS or other forums that she looked good in the earlier practices, fit and landing elements and looking like she was up for the game. If so, it's not likely that her training wasn't working. From the sound of the descriptions of people who saw her live, and from what little video that's out there today on the web, she looked blank. Zombie. I've seen this look before on others and I don't mean skaters.
While this may sound silly, I think she has a bad case of what us oldies used to call "stage fright". Seriously, I think this is the crux of her competition performance issues in the last year or so. Not just "feeling the pressure" which is normal in a competition and which can lead to mental mistakes and screwups. Or the normal nervous shaky-legs/knees-knocking thing when you head out on the ice....but real fright of going out there to the point where she has to put herself on autopilot to try to just get through it. It's obvious she didn't always have this issue, it really seems to have come about since the Olympics, and it seems to be getting worse with every competition.
My $0.02.

Don't have time to read through over 30 pages of this thread yet. Congratulations to the medalists! Not a fan of Wagner's. But she really laid down an impressive skating at Nationals. Truly deserved the win! Czisny's style was so beautiful! Happy for Zhang! The most impressive skater for me was Flatt! She wasn't pretty, didn't have beautiful style and posture that a normal lady skater has, wasn't training fulltime, has priorities in study as a prestigeous university's student. But she made it! she did a top six finish against all these fulltime athletes!

I don't think it sounds silly at all! If she was looking good in practice then it could simply be a case of nerves overwhelming her and she just hasn't found a way to deal with it. When I was growing up I took ballet and piano. Well do I remember stage fright. Some ballet performances I felt like I was just a zombie throughout the whole performance with a smile plastered on and completely failing to enjoy the moment because of nerves. One time, during a piano competition, while waiting for my turn, I completely fell apart and started crying and couldn't stop. Luckily the judges were kind and let me go last after I calmed down. I did fine. And these were nothing events, MUCH MUCH smaller events than the U.S. Figure skating championships. I can't even imagine the nerves that must go along with that and deep inside have always been amazed that skaters manage to stay on their feet at all. When my piano teacher heard about my experience, she said stage fright can kick at anytime no matter how big or small the event. It can be truly paralyzing.
All I can say is that Mirai has a solid fan base - me included - and I will continue to root for her as long as she is competing.
ETA: Okay, I finally watched Mirai's SP. What a cutie. I have to say I enjoyed it and I agree with Tara's commentary that she looked like she had more polish than ever on the in between stuff. She didn't look under trained or grumpy to be on the ice. Just nervous. I still loved her spins and general flow across the ice. Also, I didn't mind Lori's choreo for her at all. Maybe it didn't hit it out of the park but it had the potential to show off Mirai's spunk.
P.S. Does anyone else think Yasmin could really be a podium contender if her body and training go in the right direction? I think she is a very charming performer for 15 and I was impressed with the positions and centering on her spins, as well as the sharpness that she went from one position to the next on them.

With so many people giving up on Nagasu (reminds me of Cohen fans in the mid-2000s), surprised to hear a few posters still sticking up for her. You guys are her true fans.
Looking back, it was a bit bizarre how things played out. I said before that this was Wagner's best shot at the title and if she was unable to do it this time, she likely never would. Everyone else didn't seem quite in it. Good on her for taking advantage of the situation and capitalizing on the mistakes of her competitors.
The two real surprises for me were a) Zhang's re-emergence (whoa) and b) Zawadzki's short program (where did she pull that from?). I figured Zawadzki wouldn't be able to hold on to that lead but I hope she does not get discouraged. She truly looked downhearted afterward and at the press conference. In time I think she'll see that this was a real triumph- she moved up one spot from 4th to 3rd. Of course this is not the way you want to do it, but it was a new experience for her, being the leader and skating last. Next time I'm sure she'll handle it better...
And props to Wagner for FINALLY having the guts to admit she wants to win on national TV. I know Cohen did it 10 years ago and was raked over the coals for it...mostly, I suspect, because she contrasted so sharply with Kwan's reserved demeanor. But times have changed. In Wagner's own words, why put on an act? She's right, everyone wants to win. Why else would Czisny and Zawadzki be so visibly upset after their performances? They knew they were in position to win but gave it away with their mistakes in the free.

What kind of upset me was that when the commentators were talking about Agnes during the LP, they were saying that her coach was not very optimistic of a good performance because she drew to skate last. Because so much of this sport is between the ears, I hope the coach didn't suggest this to Agnes, because if the coach expresses doubt of a skater's abilities then I could see that having an effect on the performance.
^ That struck me too. How odd to put that out before your skater hits the ice. He must not be used to the limelight. That's the most charitable interpretation I can put on it.
ETA: I like this phrase: "so much of this sport is between the ears." Sad but true. (My faves so often lose it there.)
Some more tidbits
Flatt got a longer standing O than Ashley. Also had more stuffs thrown to the ice than Ashley. It took forever to clean up the ice before Vanessa can come in.
Poor Vanessa, skated after that rousing performance. She's a nerdy, timid girl outside. I saw her walking around with her parents and they seemed scared and out of place.
Saw John Nicks at Arcadia, disheveled, wandering from table to table. I almost threw him a dinner roll.
Saw Alex and Maia there as well. I guess all of them are staying at the Marriott downtown. Saw Keegan's coaches in the Marriott. They looked rough and bad***. Can't believe they coach figure skating. One of them look like Mickey Rourke in the Wrestler.
Saw Ashley walking around with her friend. From listening to her talking, I find her very unlikable. Such a turn off. She's pretty, so it helps a bit.
Saw Rachael running somewhere. She's so tiny. She might be chunky for a skater, but for mere mortals, she's Kate Moss.

Can you be more specific. What was Ashley doing or saying to her friend that made her unlikable? Was she getting loud and obnoxious? Gossiping and badmouthing people? Cursing? Please tell me what she did that was unlikable in your opinion.

- person in the U.S. has this name View Jessica Scrape on WhitePages
Meaning & Origins
Apparently of Shakespearean origin. This was the name of the daughter of Shylock in The Merchant of Venice (1596). Shakespeare's source has not been established, but he presumably intended it to pass as a typically Jewish name. It may be from a biblical name that appeared, in the translations available in Shakespeare's day, as Jesca (Genesis 11:29; Iscah in the Authorized Version). This occurs in a somewhat obscure genealogical passage; Iscah appears to have been Abraham's niece. Notable bearers of the name include the British actress Jessica Tandy (1909–94), the British writer Jessica Mitford (1917–96), and the American actress Jessica Lange (b. 1949). The name has been extremely popular since the 1990s.

Protesters forced to scale down at Obama inaugural
Friday - 1/11/2013, 5:39pm EST
By BRETT ZONGKER
Associated Press
WASHINGTON (AP) - A protest group planning to stage a demonstration about unemployment at President Barack Obama's inauguration says it's being forced to scale down plans because it won't have much space on Washington's Freedom Plaza.
The ANSWER Coalition said Friday that the Presidential Inaugural Committee is taking over the plaza where protests have been held. Protesters will have a 10-yard-wide strip of sidewalk below the plaza.
ANSWER had expected to have bleachers with thousands of demonstrators. National Coordinator Brian Becker says there's a long history of reserving Freedom Plaza as a place for dissent.
In 2009, the group shared the space with inauguration organizers.
A National Park Service spokeswoman says the protest group applied for the space first but that the inaugural committee has preference under regulations that took effect in 2008.

The Eco-Pro Premium brings back the design of many popular OEM floor tools from the past. While many modern hard floor tools use wheels to support the tool the Premium is all bristle. A full wrap of natural fill bristle encompasses the perimeter of the nozzle shoe with a window cut front to allow in larger debris. Where wheeled floor tools are tall and deep their bristle is lengthened to reach the floor and easily bends. Without wheels in it's design the Premium floor brush uses a compact short natural fill to support the tool. The depth of the Premium from front to back is closed to narrow the field of suction and increase airflow velocity. This design not only makes for a more maneuverable floor tool, it also increases the tools ability to lift large debris by focusing suction along a wide but narrow path.
The Premium floor brush also provides a low 1-3/8" height to easily reach under the corners and toe kicks. The top of the nozzle body is only 2.5" for easy access deep under beds. The forward swept design helps the Premium floor nozzle pull debris from corners and reach close to baseboards for single pass cleaning. A classic design with quality materials, the Premium Floor Brush from Eco-Pro will provide years of efficient cleaning service.
Sold 1 each. Black color, vinyl housing with polypro neck and shoe & natural fill.

Extremity angiography is a test used to see the arteries in the hands, arms, feet, or legs. It is also called peripheral angiography.
Angiography uses x-rays and a special dye to see inside the arteries. Arteries are blood vessels that carry blood away from the heart.
Angiography of the extremity; Peripheral angiography; Lower extremity angiogram; Peripheral angiogram;
This test is done in a hospital. You will lie on an x-ray table. You may ask for some medicine to make you sleep and relaxed (sedative) if you are anxious about the test.
The health care provider will shave and clean an area, usually in the groin.
Certain treatments can be done during this procedure. These treatments include:
The health care team will check your pulse (heart rate), blood pressure, and breathing during the procedure.
The catheter is removed when the test is done. Pressure is placed on the area for 10 - 15 minutes to stop any bleeding. A bandage is then put on the wound.
The arm or leg where the needle was placed should be kept straight for 6 hours after the procedure. You should avoid strenuous activity, such as heavy lifting, for 24 - 48 hours.
You should not eat or drink anything for 6 - 8 hours before the test.
You may be told to stop taking certain medications such as aspirin or other blood thinners for a short while before the test. Never stop taking any medicines unless told to do so by your health care provider.
Make sure your health care provider knows about all the medicines you take, including those bought without a prescription. This includes herbs and supplements.
Tell your health care provider if you:
The x-ray table is hard and cold. You may want to ask for a blanket or pillow. You may feel some stinging when the numbing medicine is injected. You may also feel some pressure as the catheter is moved.
The dye can cause a feeling of warmth and flushing. This is normal and usually goes away in a few seconds.
You may have tenderness and bruising at the site of the catheter insertion after the test. Seek immediate medical help if you have:
Your doctor may order this test if you have symptoms of a narrowed or blocked blood vessel in the arms, hands, legs, or feet.
The test may also be done to diagnose:
The x-ray shows normal structures for the age of the patient.
An abnormal result is common due to narrowing and hardening of the arteries in the arms or legs due to plaque build-up (hardening of the arteries) in the artery walls.
The x-ray may show a blockage in the vessels caused by:
Abnormal results may also be due to:
Complications may include:
There is low-level radiation exposure. However, most experts feel that the risk of most x-rays is smaller than other risks we take every day. Pregnant women and children are more sensitive to the risks of the x-ray.

Strife spreads?
It's being reported this morning in the NYT … that Iraqi Shia Jihadis are being transported to Syria to fight on behalf of Assad! All with the help/assistance of Iran. (Of course, Sunni Jihadis have been used in Syria for months and months!)
Can you say … SECTARIAN WARFARE? This is a war WITHIN the Arab/Muslim world …
BTW … what's Israel or the Palestinians got to do with it? Just asking? Do you jerks out there believe … that Israel/Palestine is No.! on the agenda of the masses? Did you ever buy that BS?
It's always been about the dysfunctional Arab/Muslim world … the Ottomans were at fault leaving their former subjects … POOR … UNEDUCATED … UNPREPARED FOR THE 21st C … and deeply unaware of their depraved condition.
It's like a film I just saw about China called Red Sorghum … while watching the film it appears the time period the film is portraying should be 1000 YEARS AGO … the people are uneducated … poor … unaware of the world … and then the Japanese Army appears and it's evident the time frame is the 1930's !!! There's no difference between that world and the world of the Arab/Muslims in MOST of the Middle East! IT'S AS IF NOTHING HAS CHANGED FOR CENTURIES. Wake up … sleepy heads. It's 2013 in a couple of months … NOT 800 or 1200 ACE !!!
"not 800 or 1200 ace" you are right,but let us take it the positive way.At leat when the Messie comes back ,He won't need any guide to show him around ,It is an Unchanged area since He left.

Nats look to continue Wild charge in finale vs. Braves
Club tries to gain in race as Wood, Atlanta aim to cut magic number
An emotional 48 hours in the nation's capital have confirmed that a new National League East champion will not be crowned in Washington on Wednesday night.
After the series opener between the Braves and the Nationals was postponed in light of Monday morning's shooting at the Naval Sea Systems Command headquarters just a few blocks east of Nationals Park, the teams reconvened at the field on Tuesday to play a day-night doubleheader. The Nationals staged an improbable ninth-inning comeback to take a 6-5 walk-off win in the first game thanks to three runs off All-Star closer Craig Kimbrel and a rare fielding error by shortstop Andrelton Simmons.
Then in the nightcap, rookie Tanner Roark tossed seven shutout innings to become the first rookie this season to win seven decisions in a row, as the Nationals completed the doubleheader sweep with a 4-0 victory. The Nationals head into Wednesday night's finale looking to stay hot against an Atlanta team that has dominated the NL East all year and cap off a thrilling season series between the two division rivals on a high note.
"We like playing them," shortstop Ian Desmond said of the Braves on Tuesday. "Things may have become a little more adverse, but I think if any of us saw each other in the offseason, we'd be buddies and sit down and have a drink together or a sandwich. It's all about baseball and it doesn't really matter who is on the other side. Just play and be professional and do your job."
Ross Ohlendorf gets the ball for the Nationals on Wednesday night with a chance to bring his team closer to the final Wild Card spot in the National League -- the Nats trail the Reds by 4 1/2 games -- and force the Braves to take their celebratory champagne to Chicago ahead of a three-game series with the Cubs.
Ohlendorf has answered the call throughout the season when the Nationals have asked him to fill holes in their rotation and bullpen. He is 3-0 with a 3.34 ERA in six starts and has posted a 2.86 ERA in nine appearances out of the bullpen.
Braves rookie Alex Wood will take on the Nationals for the second time as a member of the rotation, looking to recapture the magic that lifted him to a Majors-leading 0.90 ERA in August. In his first two starts of September, the 22-year-old left-hander was knocked around by a pair of teams who were seeing him for the second time, surrendering seven earned runs in 2 1/3 innings to the Marlins and four runs in 4 2/3 innings to the Phillies. The Braves skipped Wood's spot in the rotation at the end of last week to ensure he would stay fresh for October in his first Major League season.
"It's exciting to me, because it's nice that they're looking out for me enough to where they feel like they want to give me a break so I can hopefully be as fresh as I can for the playoffs, which is what I hope they have in mind," Wood said. "It's nice, it makes me want to go out there and do even better than I already wanted to do before."
Nationals: Span tacks on two to hit streak
• Denard Span extended his hitting streak to 28 games with an opposite-field single in the fifth inning on Tuesday night, passing Colorado's Michael Cuddyer to stand alone with the longest hitting streak in the Majors this season. Earlier on Tuesday, Span had tied Cuddyer with a single up the middle in the second inning of Game 1.
• Stephen Strasburg was tabbed to start Thursday's series opener against the Marlins after a successful bullpen session on Monday afternoon. The right-hander felt tightness in his forearm last Friday while experimenting with a new pitch in the bullpen and was scratched from his start.
"I think I was trying to stretch it a little bit too aggressively," Strasburg said on Tuesday. "I've been messing around with pitches all year. The trainer said when you try to stretch it too much, your body's natural reaction is to tighten up, which is what I was feeling."
• Catcher Wilson Ramos went 1-for-3 in Tuesday afternoon's win while making his 24th consecutive start behind the plate, the longest streak of any catcher in the Majors this year. He was replaced by Jhonatan Solano for the nightcap of the doubleheader, snapping the streak at 24 games.
Braves: Veteran Johnson back in the fold
• Outfielder Reed Johnson got into a game for the first time since July 28 when he struck out in a pinch-hit appearance in the ninth inning of Game 1. Johnson was recently activated from the 15-day disabled list after a lengthy rehab process from tendinitis in his left Achilles.
• Evan Gattis continued his clutch-hitting ways with a two-run home run to give the Braves a 4-3 lead in the eighth inning of Game 1 of Tuesday's doubleheader. The 0-2 blast off Nationals reliever Tyler Clippard was the eighth of Gattis' 20 home runs this season that have given the Braves the lead.
Worth noting
• Both teams observed an extended moment of silence before Tuesday afternoon's game in remembrance of the victims of Monday's shooting. Nationals players wore Navy hats during batting practice given to them by Adm. James A Winnefeld, Jr., Vice Chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff.
"I've been all over the Naval base, and we're neighbors," Nationals manager Davey Johnson said. "It's just hard to believe, but that's this day and time. It's hard to believe stuff like that goes on. It's just tough."
"It's 'get back to normal, get these guys back to doing what they know how to do,' which is play baseball," Braves manager Fredi Gonzalez said. "It seems like the sooner we get back to normal, the healing process starts."
• Nationals third baseman Ryan Zimmerman's solo shot in the eighth inning of Tuesday night's game was his 10th home run this month and 25th of the season.
• The Braves' magic number for clinching the NL East is four.

Trine 2 seems to be working fine with r600g here. The crash you're seeing does not seem to be related to graphics at all?
When I try to launch it I can set my settings in the launcher, please "Start Trine 2", but then get a black screen and I am kicked by to the desktop.
Here is my terminal outputs:
My question is has anyone gotten this working on the free drivers yet? They are not officially supported by Frozenbyte according to the readme, but that was true of their previous titles as well. If no one has yet managed to get it working, I will take it as red that is the problem and sit on it for a little while and wait for it to start working (it took a little bit of effort to get Trine running initially after all). If someone has gotten it working, I might try to talk with their technical support again.Code:[hamish@Griffindor bin]$ /usr/local/games/Trine2/trine2.sh Changing working directory to /usr/local/games/Trine2 [hamish@Griffindor bin]$ nohup: redirecting stderr to stdout [hamish@Griffindor bin]$ export LD_LIBRARY_PATH=/usr/local/games/Trine2/lib/lib32 [hamish@Griffindor bin]$ ./trine2_linux_32bitAL lib: ALc.c:1879: exit(): closing 1 Device AL lib: ALc.c:1808: alcCloseDevice(): destroying 1 Context(s) Assertion 'pa_atomic_load(&(b)->_ref) > 0' failed at pulsecore/memblock.c:589, function pa_memblock_unref().

Trine 2 seems to be working fine with r600g here. The crash you're seeing does not seem to be related to graphics at all?
It's a 32-bit system.
I am not sure if it is graphics or not, but I could not pin it down to anything else.
Are you running the latest git drivers or system supplied ones though? I am just running the stock ones that ship with my distro.
I am running Fedora 16 (32 Bit) and my graphics card is a Radeon HD 4670.
EDIT: I lowered the graphics settings and made it run in a window and it loaded properly now.
EDIT 2: I have isolated the problem to be completely specific to it running full screen. I guess I should report this to Frozenbyte.

Seems to already have been reported:
In this thread there was already someone who had the same problem and who posted that same workaround.
Also in this thread I had posted that with r600g it works before you asked.
To the game itself... Sure, the artwork is great, but some things get increasingly annoying to the point where I actually don't want to play it anymore.
The pseudo-fullscreen is nice where it pretends to be fullscreen while NOT disabling the second screen. What is not so nice is that it doesn't catch the mouse.
While fighting with the knight or drawing things near the edge I keep clicking on the other screen and thus minimizing and pausing the game.
I can't really play with 1920x1080 with r600g for performance reason but I wouldn't necessarily blame the game for that.
But: The pseudo fullscreen with a smaller resolution creates artifacts around the game. At first it is black as it should probably be, but when the game was minimized some parts of the wallpaper appear as artifacts.
Either I have just massive input lag and I don't notice it directly or there are many parts that are just hard because the jumping is hard to control. I sometimes really wish the characters would jump more like super mario.
If you die right after that part you are going to have a bad time (little spoiler?):
I have not seen a good way to get up there except changing to the wizard and placing a crate on the right leaf so it comes down and allows me to jump up on the left, all while not getting killed by that purple things from the right...
All in all a great game, but some really off-putting elements.
I have added Trine 2 to the Radeon Program page over at the XOrg wiki:
The performance is actually pretty good, although I am only playing it in an 800x600 window.
Although it does make my GPU heat up more than any other game I have ever encountered...
I'm really disappointed that Frozenbyte didn't push out native 64bit binaries.

I recently evaluated all of the other distros since Ubuntu 12.10 was such a turd.
What I discovered was that even though 12.10 sucks, it was still better than anybody else's.
1. Mint - slightly less stable than Ubuntu, less useful desktop, it has nothing on Ubuntu
2. Arch - A toy, not a real distro meant for real work
3. Fedora - 17 was decent(except for the bugs), 18 is unbelievably shitty
4. OpenSuse - Are they still around?
5. Mageia - Might be contender someday, but not yet
6. Debian - I appreciate them being the extremely FOSS-minded, but they always have a dinosaur kernel that can't boot a newer PC. Debian Unstable is... Unstable.
So Android comes out of nowhere with it's own display server to become the dominant consumer OS, better than Windows OSX, iOS or anything else. Maybe Wayland isn't as good as everybody claims, and if Ubuntu can write something that's small, simple, and fast, and STILL beat Wayland to market, then why shouldn't they? Should they have also just went with Gnome3 instead of Unity so that they could be as crappy as Fedora 18? Or why not the perpetually buggy KDE? In all fairness though, the latest Gnome3 is so buggy that KDE is probably the stable one now, and I never thought I'd say that. More competition in Linux standards is great, because a some of the current standards suck and need to be dethroned by a new contender.
Those of you that think Ubuntu should wait until Ubuntu 14.10, 16.10, or whenever to adopt Wayland when it's finally ready, probably have no credentials to be telling Ubuntu how to operate. Ubuntu just works, and the only other distro that can make that claim is RHEL and it's copy-cats, and RHEL accomplishes that by sitting on really old versions of software. Ubuntu is the only distro in LInux history that can properly do bleeding edge kernels and other software, I trust them over the armchair-quarterbacks of the internet.

Just extremely old and ugly burner trays James B. • Corinth, TX • November 17, 2014 Appliance: Model JBP24W0H2WW My Repair & Advice I spent hours searching for the right trays, knowing only that the stove is GE, and what the trays look like, including exact dimensions. I ordered one set that had exact measurements, and they even explained how the measurements are taken. But the trays were larger than described by 3/8 inch, and I had to pay shipping to return them. I suggested that they correct their description, but the lady did not think I was right. I said just measure them yourself, as per the method that your website describes. The owner of the stove returned from her summer overseas trip and pulled the owner's manual. The manual, which supports several models, tells where to find the stove model, which is on the front leg of the stove - you have to open the bottom drawer to see it. Armed with the stove's model number, I was then able to quickly locate the proper trays on your web site. I found your web site very well done, the trays were priced quite fairly, and the shipment arrived more quickly than I was expecting. After all the hassle I went through, it was quite a relief to see that the trays were the proper size. And what a difference the new trays make! Was this review helpful to you?

2013 Bonneville Speed Week
Written by on January 28, 2014 Setting Records On Slippery SaltIf there's one thing worse than not having a race car to take to Bonneville for Speed Week, it's having a race car that's in pieces. Circumstances, including completing the build of the R&C Tribute T, and a busy schedule, meant my roadster pickup wasn't finished in time, but that didn't stop me from making a banzai run to the Salt this year, without a trailer! The prospect of the heavy-hitter streamliners gunning for records was enough, as was a friend's record attempt—successful I might add—with a new engine.
Rod & Custom has a long tradition of covering Bonneville, and it's not hard to see why; it's pretty much the last bastion of "little guy" motorsport, and while there are stringent rules, it's still a doable proposition for a homebuilder. It's also a great vacation destination for a gearhead (well, it is when Speed Week is running, maybe not so much for most of the rest of the year when it's often under a shallow covering of water from rain and snow!).
The quality of the salt is also improving, thanks to the work of the Save The Salt Coalition (www.savethesalt.org) with over 1 million tons of salt returned to the Bonneville Salt Flats over the past two winters. It's still only inches thick, rather than the few feet it once was, but awareness and action are slowly bringing the surface back. It's been a land speed racetrack for 100 years, and long may it continue.

Patients in Alabama will soon be able to be evaluated and, in certain cases, treated by physical therapists (PTs) without first having to obtain a physician referral. With the enactment of Alabama House Bill 163, Alabama becomes the 47th state to achieve some form of direct access.
HB 163, sponsored by state Rep Ed Henry and signed by Gov Robert Bentley yesterday, goes into effect July 1. Prior to implementation of HB 163, PTs were prohibited from performing a physical therapy evaluation unless the patient had a referral. The new law provides for direct access to evaluation, fitness, wellness, and prevention services, and for treatment under certain conditions.
The legislation, which faced significant opposition, primarily from physician groups, is the culmination of many years of difficult work by the Alabama Chapter. Despite numerous obstacles, fierce and well-financed opponents, and the devastation of the April 27, 2011, tornado, the chapter was able to obtain a compromise from opponents on the bill that allowed its passage by the legislature. Per APTA's Strategic Plan, the chapter was provided direct access grants in 2011 and 2012 from the association.
Read more about the chapter's advocacy efforts in APTA's press release.

Online fraud is skyrocketing, and the stakes are significantly high for IT decision-makers and their companies.According to the Internet Crime Complaint Center — a joint operation between the Federal Bureau of Investigation and the National White Collar Crime Center — Internet users reported losing nearly $560 million to online fraud last year.
By Courtney Macavinta
Webroot Software, Inc.
That's more than double the losses from the previous year. These days, online fraud includes a wide range of activities, such as exploitation of online banking and e-commerce sites and their customers. Your company's reputation might also be on the line in spamming or denial of service (DoS) attacks, where there is no direct financial gain for the perpetrator. Fraud is also now conducted in minutes, leaving your IT department little time to respond with damage control measures.
Internet users reported losing nearly $560 million to online fraud last year. That's more than double the losses from the previous year.
Amid these growing threats, the pressure is on IT departments — especially those in such industries as financial services and e-commerce — to deploy counter-fraud measures to protect the company and its customers. Geoffrey Turner, a senior analyst with Forrester Research Inc., offers these guidelines as you battle online fraud:
Turner says one of the biggest areas in which companies need to up the ante on security is authentication."Identity theft is a huge problem and the root of all online fraud," he says."Ultimately, online fraud is of the magnitude it is now because we have a poor capability to know who's who." It's critical to also evaluate emerging authentication technologies and understand whether they'll work in your business.
Internet users reported losing nearly $560 million to online fraud last year. That's more than double the losses from the previous year.
Before deploying a new technological measure, you should take stock of current online authentication processes and determine if fraud risks justify adding more layers of sophisticated measures. On top of that, Turner advises determining where and when online fraud can impact your operations and customers. You need to evaluate whether the level of risk to your organization means you should work more to prevent fraud or to recover from it. If you do employ anti-fraud technologies and processes, make sure there's an auditing system to measure effectiveness. This is particularly critical in making sure your anti-fraud efforts keep up with new threats.
Belt-tightening and focusing on revenue-generating business strategy is already driving companies to evaluate the ROI of any investment they make. When it comes to investing in online fraud prevention, you should first concentrate on risk-driven security controls, advises Turner."Rather than put all the expense on the front edge, you do it based on the level of risk of the transaction," he says.
Finally, it's smart to look at how government agencies are bolstering online security."The more strategic security exploration is being done by governments," says Turner."You need to be aware of what the government is doing to see what can be leveraged in the private sector."

Disabled Sports Eastern Sierra held its annual Springtacular for all the "Stars" (participants) with cognitive and developmental disabilities from April 23 - 26.
Amid the many voices at last Tuesday's special (and fascinating) Town Council meeting, there was a proposal to initiate a kind of philosophical, ongoing debate around here.
"I'm Dog Armstrong! Pass the Hammer Gel!"
The Mammoth Lakes Planning Commission on Wednesday approved firearms sales in the town's commercial zones.
The vote was 4-1, with only Elizabeth Tenney voting no.
"I support firearms in the Industrial Zone," she said, "but I can't support firearms in the commercial/lodging zones.
"We decided a long time ago that this is a special place. It's four square miles. We decided not to permit big-box stores, for example.
"This (a gun store) would change the character of our community. So based on considerable thought on this, I can't support it in commercial zones."
The director of Mammoth Lakes Tourism went before the Town Council Tuesday night with one basic message regarding the town's fiscal crisis.
The message went something along the lines of, "Damn the torpedoes, full speed ahead." Citing tourism fiascos in Colorado, Wisconsin and Washington State, John Urdi warned the council that any cuts in tourism spending would be imprudent.
First, to all the mothers out there: THANK YOU! ..
South of Mammoth to Paradise, east to the Tri-Valley and Benton, big sprawling District 2 is a distinctly nonhomogenous district that will require its county supervisor to be something of an acrobat to be eff ective.
It has Crowley Lake, essentially a bedroom community to Mammoth.
It has Swall Meadows and Paradise just down the hill, but whose kids go to Round Valley or Bishop schools and whose residents do most of their shopping in Bishop. Swall and Paradise never saw a development project they loved, or a deer or coyote they didn't.
For veteran downhiller Steven Nyman, Mammoth is a re-start.
Amid the many voices at last Tuesday's special (and fascinating) Town Council meeting, there was a proposal to initiate a kind of philosophical, ongoing debate around here.
Councilman Rick Wood raised the question, and as esoteric as it was, it nevertheless struck us as being somehow important in the long run.
Wood, an attorney who is no stranger to the dais, acknowledged the many people who showed up to emphasize their support of tourism.
Yet when it came his turn to speak directly to the issue, Wood veered.
We have all seen and are probably using compact fluorescent lamp (CFL) bulbs. In many states, these will be the only light bulbs that will be available as the incandescent bulbs are phased out.
Competing in the Brewers Association 2012 Ninth Bi-annual World Beer Cup competition last weekend, Mammoth Brewing Company won a gold medal for its Double Nut Brown Porter in the Brown Porter Category, and a bronze for its Real McCoy Amber Ale in German Style Brown/Dusseldorf-Style Altbier Category.
The Mono County District 4 supervisor race has mostly been ignored by Mammoth in the past. After all, the district was way up at the north end of the county, with a good part of its shopping, jobs, and services allegiance to a whole different state—Nevada.
The end result was North County didn't talk much to Mammoth and Mammoth didn't talk much to North County.
But that changed last year, when a good chunk of Mammoth was redistricted into District 4—the whole eastern chunk of the town north of U.S. 395, in fact.
Mono County's District 3 is made up of parts of Mammoth, June Lake, Lee Vining (after redistricting last year) and the Mono Basin. It ends at the Conway Summit line, where District 4 takes off.
It's a district made mostly of people with links to Mammoth—for jobs, hospitals, shopping. When Mammoth suffers, District 3 suffers.
Vikki Bauer has been the district's supervisor for the past seven years and five months. Candidate Tim Alpers was a county supervisor two times before—once as a District 2 supervisor from 1983 to 1989 and then as a District 3 supervisor from 1993 to 1997.
Town Councilmember Skip Harvey may be running out of time but he's not running out of punches. At Tuesday's special Town Council meeting that dealt entirely with the town's fiscal crisis, the outgoing, two-term councilman went off.
"What a mess! What a total mess!" he said to people who squeezed into a crowded Suite Z. He then issued a public apology for the actions of the current Town Council as well as for Town Councils past. "I'm sorry. I am truly sorry for what is going on here," Harvey said.
Author Rebecca Solnit's book, A Paradise Built in Hell, asks perhaps the most elementally human question of all—and comes up with a surprising answer
Most of us have wondered how we would react in the event of a terrible disaster or tragedy. Would I run, would I stay, would I lead, would I fight? Would I die for what I believe in, would I die to save someone I love, or, even, someone I don't love? The most elemental human question: What am I made of?
