2010 Census: Virginia Approaches Its 2000 Mail Participation Rate
Release Information
As of Thursday, April 15, Virginia is just one percentage point away from matching the mail participation rate it achieved in the 2000 Census, the U.S. Census Bureau announced today. New rates released today show that 72 percent of Virginians have mailed back their forms so far, compared with 73 percent in 2000. The nation as a whole — at 68 percent — is still four percentage points away from matching the mail response rate achieved in 2000 (72 percent).
"We're asking all Virginians who've received a census form to fill it out and mail it back today," said U.S. Census Bureau director Robert Groves. "Your actions can save taxpayers a significant sum of money because mailing the form back is much easier and less expensive than having a census worker come to your door to complete the form with you."
The U.S. Census Bureau is emphasizing the Friday, April 16, mail deadline because forms put in the mail by tomorrow will likely be received and processed in time to delete those households from the list of addresses it will visit starting May 1. Households that normally pick up their mail from a post office box are already slated for follow-up in May from census workers.
If successful, Virginia can join North Carolina, South Carolina, Kentucky and Tennessee on the list of states that have met or surpassed their 2000 mail-back participation rate.
The rates for all states, counties, places, towns and townships are updated each afternoon through April 23 at 4:00 p.m. on the Take 10 Challenge Map (https://www.census.gov/2010census/take10map/). A final rate will be announced May 3.
The 2010 Census is a count of everyone living in the United States and is mandated by the U.S. Constitution. Census data are used to apportion congressional seats to states, to distribute more than $400 billion in federal funds to tribal, state and local governments each year and to make decisions about what community services to provide. The 2010 Census form is one of the shortest in U.S. history, consisting of 10 questions, taking about 10 minutes to complete. Strict confidentiality laws protect the respondents and the information they provide.

I see what you did there...
but what is this pumpkin chunkin thing you speak of?
haha i went to that thing once, its frickin hilarious. buncha hicks trying to throw a pumpkin as far as they can, and theres all sorts of different classes for ways to throw em' and i think the only rule is you can't use chemical propellants. there are like big catapults and stuff. i think the big air cannons get them close to a mile.
check it out:
Yeah I went last year. Sat in a line of cars waiting to get in with a keg in the back of my jeep and a handle of Sailor Jerry. Everyone just gets hammered waiting to get in..
I think I only saw like 2 pumpkins actually launched. Its like a few bucks to park and ten to get in to see all the imbreds pumping there nubs trying to get some tv time on discovery channel
we will be there man in full force. We all gotta meet up together and drank some beers and ****ttt

is there any benefit of an opensource GPU? i dont see why it should be attractive project.
Phoronix: Would A Kickstarter Open-Source GPU Work?
The Kickstarter crowd-funding development platform has successfully worked for funding many computer games, a few interesting hardware projects, and other initiatives, but would it work for having an open-source graphics processor? A company may be turning to Kickstarter to open-source their 2D and 3D graphics designs...
is there any benefit of an opensource GPU? i dont see why it should be attractive project.
I would throw some $ behind it just out of interest to see what they come up with.
it's called Open Hardware LoL, and to top that off AMD released the info we need to make OpenSource Driver for it's GPU's
I don't know if a kickstarted open source gpu would work, but i know what would work: kickstarted open source gpu drivers (aka Nouveau and Radeon)
Well one would speculate it would have the same advantages of an opensource software project in that other companies are free to expand on/fork the work, or pick up where another company left off. Once something is open source its life can go on infinitely as long as there is enough interest, unlike proprietary projects which die a lonely death behind closed doors.
The fun thing with Kickstarter projects is you can contribute as little or as much as you like to projects just to see what they come up with not necessarily because what they are doing is going to be a superior product (especially on the first attempt). The OUYA console is a great example. This was always going to be a second rate device and I had no interest in it personally but many many people just wanted to see what they would come up with because thats half the fun.
As for this company asking Michael for his opinion sounds strange why wouldnt they just attempt the Kickstarter. I'm sure if field experts were asked about many of the succefully funded projects they would have told the projects not to waste there time on crowd funding but the only way to really know if people are interested is to try it. My guess would be they are trying to build up some hype.

I don't think there would be any benefit at all. Intel and AMD are both doing well on open-source support at this point, in my opinion.
What would be cool is a completely open-source computer (I'm talking desktop here, not a little Raspberry Pi), but just a GPU isn't going to do any good.
Nvidia also do have a plan to opensource there drivers. So we better support this kickstarter projekt.
I think if the GPU can compete on a level with Nvidia and AMD, then yes, it would be a good thing to do. As far as desktop graphics, I find it hard for myself to not stick with Nvidia simply because their Linux blob driver "just works" in almost every case I need it to. Nouveau has been improving but still doesn't quite cut it for me.
A GPU that will work consistently on Linux/Windows/Mac, no questions asked, is a surefire winner for me.
I think if they market the GPU properly to their prospective user base and can actually deliver on their promises, then it will be a huge success and will really stir things up in the GPU arena. Using "open source" as the sole means to push a bad product would be disaster.
I've been thinking of this for quite some time.
I would through money behind it if it meets some specific requirements.
1. OpenGL 2 at the very very least. Much prefer 3.0 to be the minimum, but I'm aware patents and the like can get in the way of this.
2. Full Verilog Code being GPL'd, along with driver Code, no silly wrappers or fuse blobs.
3. Decent power management.
4. Support for the Linux Mir/Wayland. Would like to see Gallium framework used, unless for any reason it may be too restrictive.
5. No UVD? Point of open source card with smatterings of closed source chips on it.
6. Decent performance.. I don't expect an nvidia, amd killer, If it can outperform Intel's Iris, That would be handy.
7. Active corperate backing. I'd like to see it made, marketed, deals and talks made with Valve and any other interested gaming company.. I'd also like to see them contribute. (Think of a valve console with open Graphics )
8. OpenCL support.
9. Scalability would be nice, Desktop to phone if possible. But I can understand if the architecture doesn't initially support this.
10. Tutorials educational material to get any budding engineer working and contributing to this project.
I think that would be enough as a start. I hope I'm bot being too ambitious. The biggest part would have to be the corperate backing though. If they opensource then abandon it, hope for the hardware will be slim. However, if they release code with apropriate licensing, actively make the hardware, while contributing the open source community will back them up and contribute. Well at least I hope I wouldn't be alone in that.

It's almost show time. When the Super Bowl kicks off on Sunday, 40-plus advertisers will be hoping to win over the more than 110 million viewers tuning in. After paying $4.5 million for a 30-second spot, advertisers are hoping to have the ad everyone will be talking about Monday morning.
Here are some scary thoughts for the rest of the NFL: A win Sunday will stamp the Seahawks as one of the best teams of the Super Bowl era. And, given Seattle's makeup and philosophy, the future for the franchise might be brighter than for any other...
Former Arkansas Gov. Mike Huckabee on Sunday said being gay is akin to choosing to drink alcohol or use profanity — lifestyle choices he says are appealing to others but not to him.
The Super Bowl looks like a tossup in this gambling city, where more than $100 million will likely be riding on the game by kickoff.

REVIEW: 21 and Over
Written by the guys who gave us "The Hangover", this one is crude, obscene, raunchy, rude and ridiculously funny.
Straight-A college student Jeff Chang relunctantly goes out partying with two of his old high school buds the night before his big med school interview. What could possibly go wrong???
This time, the guys aren't trying to find their buddy. They're trying to find his house so they can sober him up, get him a little sleep and then get him ready to be picked up by his controlling dad.
This coming-of-ager works, thanks to it's ensemble cast : Miles Teller's first role was with Nicole Kidman and Aaron Eckhart in "Rabbit Hole" but he's really known as Willard in the latest incarnation of "Footloose". Justin Chon had a role in the "Twilight" series . Skylar Astin was the star of "Pitch Perfect". All should have fantastic careers ahead of them.
There's nothing ground-breaking here. But if you loved "The Hangover", you won't be disappointed. It's way better than "The Hangover 2".

End legalized bribery
The editorial cartoon in your Nov. 15 edition really hit home with me. I was a candidate for the State Legislature seat in Caledonia-1 and have always considered money in political campaigns as a form of corruption, unless it is governed by laws that very strictly limit amounts that can be given. My race happened to be one of the 40 or so house and senate seats that were targeted by Lenore Broughton, the wealthy right-wing Burlington heiress who poured about $800,000 of her fortune into supporting Vermont Republican candidates.
I was the challenger in the race, running against an incumbent that has held the seat for 18 of the past 20 years. Despite working very hard I lost my race, within the 5 percent of total votes that would have allowed me to have a recount. Given that the result was at the high end of the 5 percent, I decided to accept it and not use taxpayer funds to try to change something that likely would not have changed.
Broughton paid for two mailings that were sent to residents in my district, the first giving the names of my opponent and the two Republican senate candidates, advertising that their Democratic opponents had a secret plan to raise taxes. The second gave my name and those of the two Democratic senate candidates, again stating the lie that was in the first mailing, that we had a secret plan to raise taxes. When something like this happens in the last month of the campaign, its difficult to combat, especially given that most candidates dont have limitless amounts of money to do so.
Candidates on the other side claimed that they had nothing to do with those mailings and were not particularly enamored of them. I have no reason not to believe them, but given that they were not comfortable with what had happened, I wonder why they didnt make a huge public issue of it, perhaps dissuading other super PACs from doing the same thing in the future. They missed an opportunity to make a case for more honesty and less sleaze in political ads.
Ill never know how many voters were discouraged from voting for me because of this lie. If 55 people who were thinking of voting for me selected differently because of the mailings, that caused me to lose the election.
Im writing this letter because its important that Vermonters know that the Citizens United decision by the Supreme Court two years ago has the potential for corrupting our politics like nothing we have ever seen before. One thing we can do is let office holders know, prior to an election, that they will not get our votes if they accept this kind of legalized bribery.

Before May 18, 1980, Mt. St. Helens, a stratovolcano in southern Washington State, looked like many of the other high peaks in the Cascade Volcanic Arc: conical, steep, and snow-covered. But after that day's eruption, which moved nearly a cubic mile of debris from the peak down to the Toutle River and Spirit Lake, the landscape was grey and dead for miles around. The mountain lost 1300' of elevation, and the top became a crater a mile wide. The area was made a U.S. National Monument in 1982, hikers were allowed back on the summit in 1986. Though forests were knocked down and covered with grey ash and pumice, vegetation has made a surprising and resilient recovery, making the valley glow green in spring.
This model shows the post-eruption terrain, with its unmistakable open-sided crater and lava dome. In addition, hikers will recognize the top portion of Monitor Ridge and Shoestring Glacier. Other features on this model are Crescent Ridge and the head of the South Fork of the Toutle River to the West, part of Studebaker Ridge to the North, and Windy Pass to the Northeast. Simply put, two-dimensional maps cannot convey the magnitude of the eruption, but holding this piece in your hands, you just might begin to understand.
Model scale is 1:14000
Model covers an area approximately 4.4 by 4.4 miles
Altitudes covered: 3250' to 8337'

Product Details
Infiniti FX35 V6 2003-2007, Secret Weapon Air Intake System (304-125-101B) by Weapon-R®. The Secret Weapon Air Intake System uses patented technology to feed the engine 3 times as much air as other systems. As a result, engine performance is increased more than with any other system available.
- Patented technology increases airflow 3 times more than conventional systems
- Each system is tuned to maximize engine performance output
- Every system includes the revolutionary Secret Weapon Air Filter
- Dyno-tuned air intake pipe constructed of CNC mandrel-bent 6061 aluminum for smooth airflow
- Comes complete with all necessary mounting hardware and comprehensive installation instructions
- All Weapon-R foam air filters are backed by the Weapon-R Million Mile warranty
To create an air intake system with the highest airflow possible, the engineers at Weapon-R experimented with basic laws of physics. They found that by creating two different air velocity profiles in the intake tube, both traveling at different speeds, it increased overall air speed and volume to the engine, naturally feeding the engine 3 times more air than a conventional air intake system. To implement this patented technology, Weapon-R CNC mandrel-bends 6061 aluminum to the desired shape, and then polishes it to a show quality finish. The intake tube is then matched with Weapon-R's Secret Weapon air filter. The Secret Weapon air filter features a tuned velocity stack to increase velocity and decrease turbulence. The dramatic increase in airflow results in a greater increase in engine performance than would be possible with any other air intake system.
Every Secret Weapon Air Intake System comes with everything necessary for installation including comprehensive instructions.
Weapon-R® Ram Air Kit II turns your air intake system into a Ram Air Intake. The Ram Air Intake brings cooler air to your intake system. Cold air is denser and contains more oxygen and cooler engine air inlet temperatures result in more power. Furthermore, the Ram Air tube is made from a high temperature fire resistant plastic, to resist heat soak which robs horsepower from your engine. The Ram Air Kit is easy to install. Just connect the hose to the top of the air filter, mount the velocity stack in the lower part of the grille and attach the hose.
Weapon-R® makes high quality performance parts, at affordable prices, for sport compact cars. All products are carefully designed using the latest computer simulation and modeling techniques, followed by extensive dyno testing. Finally, all parts are rigorously street and race tested to make sure they'll perform flawlessly in your car. Weapon-R draws on over a decade's experience, involvement in various forms of motor sports, and their commitment to research and development, to bring you the highest quality and best value performance parts in the industry.

Sadly, the engines have a terrible '2-second' rattle when you start them after being off for a while (especially on the first start of the day). La Gringa (white F8GS) flashes the 'low oil pressure' light from time to time on the 1st start of the day. Oil level is good BTW. Dealer says the sound is normal even though we've compared our bikes with several other F8GS and they don't 'sound normal'. Just a couple of days ago the dealer mentioned that the flashing low-oil pressure light is not normal...& to keep an eye on it and see how often it occurs. Now, why was I at my local dealer? ... wait for the end of this RR to find out!
PS: I don't want to turn this RR into an 'engine issues' discussion, please if you have any comments about it post them HERE Haha... you're welcome Sir

I'm using the standard lens that come with the T2i Canon EF-S18-55mm f/3.5-5.6 IS. For zooming I use a Canon telephoto lens EF 70-300mm f/4-5.6 IS USM
I also use a Heliopan UV Filter and a Heliopan Circular Polirizer which definitely make a difference IMO Salud! A.

Day 7 (283km): On the road to nowhere
This is a tale of two halves and it all started at 20 degrees this morning. It didn't really cool down overnight, and the campsite was cooking pretty early in the morning. We packed up in a hurry. It was a straight shot back onto the paved road to 150 Mile House. The speed of the road and the coolness of the morning were very nice. We got kind of lost when we hit highway 97, accidentally turning into 150 Mile House before continuing on to Williams Lake. Where are the signs?
We gased up and supplied up in Williams Lake. In th parking lot of Save On foods a nice gentlemen from Likely gave us a present, some booze. It was a very nice gesture and we thanked him for his kindness. Going grocery shopping Free booze from a good samaritan After stocking up in Wlliams Lake we headed for familiar territory, the turn off for Chimney Lake. This time though we went straight, en route to Dog Creek. The road was paved to Springhouse and then turned to gravel, however it was a very nicely maintained road. Kinda of busy with traffic actually. The start of the dirt section We enjoyed beautiful desert vistas throughout the ride to Dog Creek, quite a contrast to yesterday which was typical BC mountains and forest. The weather was really starting to heat up too. It felt like we were in a different country, this is not the riding we typically associate with BC. When we reached Dog Creek we saw all the sights because once again we got lost. It seemed like a nice little town but very hot and dry. I think the people that saw us riding by, twice, were a little surprised. Another sunny day! that's 7 straight days of sunshine now? Climbing up Drier lands towards Dog Creek Ever changing BC vistas Just amazing I wanna be in the picture too! Naomi snapping a photo of me It is a good workout to get the 'perfect' photo The road to freedom A hint of New Mexico? Black and white for a change. Nice eh? After leaving Dog Creek down down down we went as we descended the valley down to the Fraser river. We crossed the river, and to our surprise there was a sign, so we knew which way to turn. Yay! The riding was amazing, nice and twisty with a really consistent road surface. We were really getting into a rhythm. Everything was flowing together nicely. I was having a blast. This could be in Peru... or Bolivia The descent to cross the Fraser River The money shot The road ahead Naomi is somewhere in there There she is! What a ride it was! Another bridge shot We eventually left the valley and dry plains as the road snaked into the forest. Still some of the best riding we have done in BC. Los of elevation changes, up and down, turns and challenging road conditions. The riding had it all. We took a short lunch break at the side of the road in the shade. It was a nice break with some tasty treats. A quick map check showed we were making good progress and expected to be in Gold Bridge for the evening. The riding continued in its awesomeness until suddenly we reached the gate for Black Dome Gold Mine, it was locked, and after we consulted our map we realized this wasn't the road we wanted it be on anyways. The plot thickens. Leaving the drylands and into the forest Lunch break Road block #1 ... more to come? Anyone interested in buying a gold mine? So we went back the way we came, keeping an eye out for the turnoff we had missed. There were no signs, and we didn't remember seeing any turnoffs so we were guessing. There was a a road but it seemed a little less travelled at first, and then became really sketchy. We hoped for the best though, and continued taking it. There we're huge ruts, and it was very difficult riding. I fell twice. Up, down, side to side the road twisted and turned through the forested mountains. We came across a couple of side roads but continued on the main path, as the side roads looked even sketchier. When we eventually saw a sign it was for the Churn Creek Protected Area, wait a second we left that area a little while ago. Hmmmm.... Left or right? ... decisions, decisions... Naomi landed hard on her shoulder on this one Having some fun Tight corner, uphill, loose gravel... loss of grip... heading into the ditch: ABORT & JUMP SHIP! We crossed a creek, drove through a field, up a hill, stop. There was a gate, but we were free to open it, just unfortunate that it was at the top of a steep hill with large loose rocks. Alberto dropped his bike trying to park and open the gate. Through the gate, up some more hill and oh wait, we are merging into a more "main" looking road. Right or left, we chose right. We continued for a ways and then came to the conclusion that we were heading in the wrong direction. We looked at our map and still had no idea where we were. There were no signs, no landmarks for reference and no working gps. We figured that we might as well continue on the road and hope that it was either going the right way or that it would lead us to somewhere that we could use to locate ourselves on our map. The good news was that it did lead us somewhere we could place on the map. The bad news is that it was back on the Black Dome Mine road that we had left hours ago. We had just ridden a frustrating circle to get back to the corner where all the cows were hanging out. We looked at our map again, and decided that we should have taken a left instead of a right back at the intersection. So we went back the way we came. Sadly taking a left led us to a dead end at a quarry. Strike 2. Crap. We were going round in circles, and starting to get tired and frustrated. We looked at the map again. Hmmm there was a Perlite Mine on the map, which is where our dead end led to and where we were currently located. Based on all the information we had collected in our travels we now had enough landmakrs to locate ourselves on the map, and we thought we knew what to do now. Back on the road we turned off at the intersection, back through the gate, through the field, over the creek onto the new road, which was descending. Good this is good, we are going in the right direction. It was a little rough going but progress was being made. Round we came through a switchback and oh crap a tree and washout in our way. This is a dead end, and a tricky place to turn around. We both dropped our bikes trying to retreat. Now Alberto's turn... tight corner, uphill, ... y'know how it goes Another angle La Gringa resting on her belly. Hard to tell in the photos but it was STEEP as hell Amazing how much heavier the bikes get when you are getting very tired PSSOR to the rescue Found lots of these little plants all over the place This led to quite a bit of energy expended, and a lot of faith lost. Exhausted we had one last option to try, another road we remember seeing and that was shown on the map. This was it, for all the marbles. The road started off okay, there were a few fallen trees but nothing Alberto couldn't move. We were making slow progress due to the obstacles but we were getting somewhere. I fell again in some mud, and then there was a river crossing followed by a huge rut. Some more trees and large rocks and then we hit a roadblock, a large tree that could not be relocated. It had already been kind of tough, and now things just got a whole lot tougher. Riding w/out a helmet... not a good practice. Things we do when we're completely exhausted Easy to make mistakes when you're tired. 5 trees later this one was the one Alberto couldn't move.... what now? Still determined to make things happen Alberto road the bikes into the forest around the tree. It was pretty intense, but he made it. This little side project ate up a huge chunk of energy and time. But we were moving again. A few more small trees and then finally we had to admit defeat. There was a full tree roadblock in our way, again. We weren't getting past this one and we were both completely exhausted and demoralized. We couldn't go on, we didn't want to face all the obstacles we has left behind in our current state. Riding uphill in the forest is no easy task... many fallen trees on the wet ground didn't help Exhausted ... @ full speed, trees everywhere... very sketchy stuff It was 6:30pm and we were done. Couldn't go on, our hydration packs were empty. We camped at the side of the road. So exhausted we could barely set up camp. What started out as such a good ride has now deteriorated. We have reached a dead end and will have to retreat. Tomorrow we tackle the obstacles we thought we were leaving behind, sigh. This is the face of defeat
We've camped on 'the side' of the road before... but never 'ON the road' @ the time it all felt like a bad dream....

any chance you were tempted to harvest that interesting looking plant you found and smoke it after the day you both had? If this was Cheryl and me I can only imagine the language that would have come out of our mouths! Great stuff but I am sure you both were so frustrated eh?

Hola Amigos Apparently you missed the resident Griz who lives near the top of the Hill, munching clover and scaring the crap out of mountain bikers and others. I can appreciate your frustration, as I had planned to ride from Lee's Corner, through the Gang Ranch, and south to Clinton....somehow ran out of a southerly trending road south of the Ranch and ended up at Williams' Lake. The Chilcotin Plateau is larger than life, and without the mountains to aim at, difficult to navigate, even with BC Back Roads. Hope you manage to ride and report on Kelly Lake road, Pavillion, and the High Line: Lots of potential for the money shot..

That's what it's all about Yeah... we - eventually - found our way to Argentina after 155 days...a couple of years back... no GPS, no compass, just good old fashion maps. We got lost countless times but I always say that the most memorable days were the ones when we had NO CLUE where we were... I generally know more or less where East-West is by reading the sun's position and shade on the ground... then you can figure out where North and South are but there is evidence that it is not always a reliable source of information it works better near the Equator, me thinks. But you are probably right, a compass would probably help at not getting lost so often... but then again, we wouldn't have as many memorable days as we do now Cheers Quote:
More than frustrated we were beyond exhausted. I can only recall one other time (Sonora desert Mexico comes to mind) when I was SO TIRED that i couldn't even drink/swallow water... let alone eat anything. It is pretty weird when your body goes into that state. I knew I was DONE. We rode nearly 60 km in 1st gear because the narrow road was technical and had not been used for a while (years maybe?) lots of rocks, potholes, branches, ruts, trees... you name it. Anyone that has ridden an F8GS knows how snatchy this bike is on 1st gear... 60 km of that wasn't easy. It wasn't safe for me to keep riding. I had no energy to control the bike or focused on what lied ahead on the road. Hands were shaking, muscles were cramping. Naomi wanted to keep pushing... but I was a done duck So we camped on the road Quote:
I think we went through the places that you mention... but I'm not sure... I don't know where we go really, Naomi does the planning ... I am just happy to ride my bike wherever, 'crash and look pretty' (as once an individual under the n.name of DirtyBones described my riding style ) Wait of the next instalment to find out! Quote:

Stafford Arima, whose re-imagined Carrie was given an Off-Broadway life last season, directs Bare, a book musical that features music by Damon Intrabartolo, a book and lyrics by Jon Hartmere and additional songs by Hartmere and Lynne Shankel (Altar Boyz, Cry-Baby, Company). Intrabartolo is not attached to the current Off-Broadway staging, which will officially open Dec. 9.
"The biggest change [is] having more space to explore the characters," explained Hartmere as to why the work is no longer sung through. "To know these characters a little bit better… you just need more room — you need more room for book scenes, and I personally just wanted to get under the hood and investigate a little bit further."
Joining Trensch (Wicked) and Hite, who makes his Off-Broadway debut, as the main students at St. Cecilia's Boarding School are Elizabeth Judd (Spider-Man: Turn Off the Dark) as Ivy, a misunderstood transfer student; Gerard Canonico (Spring Awakening) as Matt, who longs for a steady relationship with Ivy; and Barrett Wilbert Weed (Lysistrata Jones) as Nadia, the always-discontented sister of Jason.
New to the plot are the characters of Father Mike, played by Jerold E. Solomon (South Pacific), and Sister Joan, played by Missi Pyle (Boeing-Boeing), who oversee the high school's production of Romeo and Juliet. They replace similar characters from the 2004 staging — the Priest and Sister Chantelle, respectively.
"I was not aware that this show even existed until I got an audition for it," admitted Hite, who stars as Jason, the teenage "golden boy" struggling with his sexual identity. "Stafford is an actor's director. He loves having conversation[s] and building this character — we built it together. And, Jon has written it so beautifully on the page. I think the biggest challenge for me is really getting out of the way of the words. The words say enough… Jon has written [Jason] with this true feeling and soul that is quite heartbreaking to work on."
Unlike Hite, Trensch — whose character mirrors the Juliet to Jason's Romeo — was familiar with the work. "I went to a performing arts high school, so I was surrounded by theatre nerds, and we got our hands on the demo for that original [Off-Broadway] production, so I fell in love with the music back in 2004," he said. "It now is a book musical. We have so much text to work with, and this relationship has just gotten to be such a huge, amazing story."

Rounding out the cast are Casey Garvin (West Side Story national tour) as Zack, Ariana Groover as Vanessa, Sara Kapner (Hollywood Arms) as Madison, Alice Lee (Spider-Man: Turn Off the Dark) as Diane, Justin Gregory Lopez ("Law & Order: SVU") as Beto, Michael Tacconi as Nick and Alex Wyse (Lysistrata Jones) as Alan. Anthony Festa and Megan Lewis (Spider-Man: Turn Off the Dark) are swings.
Emmy Award nominee Travis Wall ("So You Think You Can Dance") provides movement for the piece. He explained that it's "expressive [and] definitely not a dance show… I was one of these characters five years ago, and [I remember] how dark I felt and how much I was trying to just get someone to hear me. I couldn't talk to anybody, and no one would listen to me, and [I was] always reaching out for that person who's not there, so I definitely pulled from that."
Tony Award-winning scenic designer Donyale Werle (Peter and the Starcatcher, Bloody Bloody Andrew Jackson) has painted the world of Bare in over 14,000 four-by-four inch Instagram pictures from the musical's fans as well as the cast and creatives. Other creative team members include costume designer Tristan Raines (Tribes, Murder in the First), Tony Award-winning lighting designer Howell Binkley (Jersey Boys, Memphis) and sound designer Keith Caggiano (Soul of Shaolin).
Here's how producers Randy Taradash, Paul Boskind and Martian Entertainment and Gregory Rae bill Bare: "Set in a co-ed Catholic boarding school, Bare explores the subject of teens exposed to the issues of identity, sexuality and religion. With provocative lyrics and a thrilling rock score, the musical demonstrates how today's generation is forced to navigate, for the first time, the tightrope between adolescence and adulthood and how far they will go to keep their world intact."
Throughout the show's run, the production will host a series of post-performance TalkOUTs with leaders of the LGBT community. The TalkOUT series begins on Bare's first preview with Judy Shepard, mother of Matthew Shepard, the University of Wyoming student who died from a hate crime in Laramie, WY, in 1998. Click here for more information on Bare's TalkOUTs.
Bare had its world premiere at the Hudson Theater in Los Angeles, CA, where it began performances Oct. 14, 2000, and ran through Feb. 25, 2001. Following the Los Angeles production, Bare began its run at the American Theatre of Actors (Chernuchin Theatre) March 25, 2004. It opened April 19, 2004, and played through May 27, 2004. Bare has since had more than 100 productions worldwide.
New World Stages is located at 340 West 50th Street (between 8th and 9th Avenue). Tickets for Bare are available at Telecharge.com or by calling (212) 239-6200.

Hello. Please help me understanding (i'm new to linux graphic drivers)..
What is the difference in definitions between Mesa, Gallium & LLVMpipe. I don't understand how they relate to each other.
Thanks in advanced!
Phoronix: Intel Core i3 LLVMpipe Performance
Last week I put out new numbers showing the LLVMpipe performance with the latest Gallium3D code found in Mesa 7.9-devel. This Gallium3D driver accelerates all operations on the CPU rather than a GPU as a better software rasterizer than what is currently available for Linux, but even with a hefty Intel Core i7 CPU the OpenGL acceleration was still quite slow. In this article using an Intel Core i3 mobile CPU we are looking at the LLVMpipe performance again, but this time comparing it to the Intel graphics performance and also looking at the impact that the clock frequency and Hyper Threading have on this Gallium3D driver that heavily utilizes the Low-Level Virtual Machine for its CPU optimizations.
Hello. Please help me understanding (i'm new to linux graphic drivers)..
What is the difference in definitions between Mesa, Gallium & LLVMpipe. I don't understand how they relate to each other.
Thanks in advanced!
if i understand it correctly, its like this:
mesa is the old classic linux driver (lacking performance optimisations in many cases)
Gallium3D is a layer thats somehow pushed in between the kernel and the driver itelf, which provides some kind of environment for the speciaöl gallium drivers. its an attempt to generalise graphics drivers (somehow).
LLVMpipe is a kind of Software Rasteriser (no hardware acceleration by the GPU) which is being developed on the Gallium3D infrastructure using LLVM (Low Level Virtual Machine) which somehow has some pluses in Linking optimisations while compiling the driver (or even recompiling for optimisations while at play???)
well, correct me if im wrong...
how can it actually be that the framerate doesnt jump to twice the framerate as without HT when the HT is being reactivated? (@2.60GHz)
is it some kind of bottleneck or overhead or is the state of the driver not as finished as it seemed to be to me?
the game itself isnt using multiple cores i guess, but does LLVMpipe really do?
I think it's inappropriate to call software-rendering LLVMpipe "accelerated". Acceleration in graphics context means hardware acceleration, that is, use of hardware that is dedicated to increase graphics performance. If you render using the CPU you're using the non-accelerated way of drawing graphics. That is not say that non-accelerated couldn't be faster than "accelerated". First "3D accelerators" were notorious for being slower than drawing things with just CPU. :-) To get real feeling of performance of LLVMpipe it should be compared with classic Mesa software renderer.
PS. For neophytes that are wondering why bother with software-rendering at all, LLVMpipe's real importance is that it's a prototype for GPU acceleration. LLVM can be adapted to compile for GPUs and thus get the most out of GPU-driven architectures (after we first get LLVMpipe work, and get LLVM to compile for GPUs.) Also, Brian Paul's Mesa has been a software reference for proper OpenGL. So you could verify that your hardware driver works correctly if it produces the same output as software Mesa.
Mesa is a software library that is an unoficial implementation of OpenGL. In Mesa there are also drivers for accelerating 3D rendering with graphics cards.
There are two types of driver inside Mesa:
Gallium3D is a new kind of architecture for writing drivers to take advantage of modern graphic card architectures.
Gallium3D is a bit of a mindfuck, but brilliant at the same time:
All Gallium3D drivers have one purpose: Expose an API. All graphics cards out there with Gallium3D drivers expose the same API.
On top of this API features are written. So when somebody creates OpenGL on top of this API than suddenly all graphics cards support it. So when ATI/AMD would create an OpenGL or a DirectX program on top of this API than suddenly nVidia cards would suddenly also have OpenGL and vice versa.
Now Mesa without any drivers can also render 3D, but painfully slow. This is called the Mesa softpipe renderer. Enter LLVMpipe. LLVMpipe is a much faster software only driver that uses the LLVM compiler collection. Part of the LLVM compiler collection is a JIT compiler, that is an on-the-fly compiler that optimises everything before it is being rendered to the performance of the software only rendering is much, much faster.
The rest you can Wikipedia for details
Hey that was actually a Test on Phoronix which was quite good.
No endless rowing of charts and more trying to interpret things.
Also, I don't know why phoronix feels the urge to release soooo many tests. Most good testsites keep the numbers down and quality up.
You guys can just keep it low a bit and take your time making good tests.
But one thing I wanna know is, why differ the memory usage numbers between different clockrates so much?
I don't understand why you're comparing a software rasterizer to one in which there is hardware acceleration. It's not an apples to apples comparison. There shouldn't be any relation between the two.
LLVMPipe over time is what's the most interesting. That and comparisons with classic mesa software rendering.
I think it's just to give a meaningful point of reference...
... and maybe a response to all the people saying that software rasterizers will stomp low end GPUs into the dirt

I don't have a sister.
(That either means everything or it means nothing.)
So of course we learned that the third will be a boy and we had to rearrange the vista of our daydreams. Is the same poetry found in two girls and a boy? It may be more hidden, so it will have to be our task to encourage it.
The important thing is this.
We want: Our Three (of whatever gender flavor they're comprised)
We don't want: Them (the girls) / and Him (the other)
Still, you see things a certain way, and they become hard to unsee. And so whenever another smiling (always smiling) thoughtless voicebox says to me, "Oh! a boy this time! You must be so excited!" I shrug in first response. Because the most important part is just that he IS, that he's healthy, not that he's He. And I speak in follow-up response. I make a joke a little, because this moment is awkward for me. It's a moment of shoving that assumption in the speaker's reflection, of acknowledging that lost vista, as well as simultaneously recognizing that he is, of his own merits, wonderful and loved. "Yeah, but we don't know what to do with one of those."
A boy. What is a boy?
The two girls sit next to each other now in my car, holding hands and kicking toes close. We scooted them together to make room for the infant carrier whose base already shares the backseat that was just theirs. Most days, they love this arrangement. Yesterday, E was cranky and L wanted E's attention and E was withholding it and so L wouldn't stop with the kicking of her sister's toes. MaMAA! E whined. L's kicking me! I asked L to stop. E was trying valiantly to pull her limbs out of reach.
Mama, E continued, Ms. L at school says that if someone hits you or pushes you it's okay to hit back.
Did her teacher really tell her that? And so we launch into a careful seesaw of conversation hinging on the twin notions of It's Okay to Defend Yourself/It's Even Better if You Can Solve Problems Without Hitting and Pushing. What a tiny fulcrum point, that Please Don't Be the First to Hit. So much weight on a millimeter-lengthed restraint of impulse.
During which, I noticed, and even in the minutes before, she never kicked her sister back. She continued to inch and squirm away, trying to diffuse the physical annoyance rather than engage it. Is that a girl?
I don't know. That is a sister. And so I had to answer her next question honestly: "Well, yes, if you kicked L back just once it probably would make her stop kicking. But I'm glad that's not how you took care of it."
It would have been faster, though, she mumbled in the back.
Up front where she couldn't see me, I smiled. I didn't answer.
We got to school and the girls ran into their respective rooms. In L's room, a trio of boys love the fridge. They love to 'help' unpack everybody's foods. Many of the other kids are happy to abandon this chore to the crew, the faster to go play, my dear. Not L. You no put my food away! I put my food away by myself! She yells this at the same boys day after day after day and yet they hover, so anxious of fridge duty, so unperturbed of girl-yelling are they.
(None of the three have sisters. (That either means everything or it means nothing.))
So because they never leave her food-unpacking side, L has begun dispatching them with her breakfast items du jour, that they may deliver her food table-side. The other children unpack food, retain what they want for breakfast, and carry it to the table. L has three boys sherpa-ing her halved grapes and applesauce. She speaks, they carry. She commands, they act. Boy One takes her juice box from her hand. Boy Two accepts her cheese stick. Boy Three grabs her bowl of diced mango. They lay out her repast upon the paper towel placemat that sits waiting at her favorite breakfast seat. And though I remind her every day, she doesn't even thank them. She gets busy with the business of eating. And yet, the boys walk away from her with self-satisfied grins, having again partaken in the food-unloading ritual for another day.
In the other room, E spots her (boy) friend. She runs to him and gives him a morning hug. He smiles down and to the side, faux-shy, and his dimples emerge. He wraps his arms around her. She smiles in the teeth-gritting grimace she reserves for her fiercest loves. She lifts him off the floor. "Gentle!" I admonish. He only giggles. She squeezes harder and drops him by her side. They run off to play superheroes.
A friend generous of heart and of boy handmedowns and who happens to be the mother to the up-picked (boy) friend answers the questions she's heard me a hundred times these past few months half-voice. "Well, boys are nothing to worry about. I just have to teach you about the schmegma."
I stop my movement entirely to look her directly in the eyes. Ahem. "The schmegma?"
And she answers in a very casual manner about white cottage-cheesy stuff and foreskin retracting as part of regular cleansing habits and Penis Care 101.
So, then.
There is a picture of the lovely husband from when he was maybe six, and I'm basing that age-guess on the two missing front teeth in a huge smiling grin that make the picture wonderfully want-to-keep-forever. Could you look at the boy of then and foresee the man of today? I don't know; I didn't meet him for another decade. Can you look at the Lovely of today and see the Lovely in that boy? Yes. Same face. Same hair, same eyes. Same cheeky attitude. That punk's always up to something. Is that a boy?
For years I kept that small photo on my bedside table until a few months ago, when E stole it from me to claim as an amulet offering protection from the dark and scary of night. He sits on her bedside table now, a boy who is her daddy who is barely older than she is today. He watches over her while she sleeps. And with his guardianship she feels safe.
There is a folksong I know in another language whose lines ask, if you'll allow my translation, of God to protect all of these things: the honey and the bee sting, the bitter and the sweet; this newborn child; the fruit that is not ripened yet and the fruit that is already harvested; the quiet and the crying. It asks God to protect those things from the rustle of a tree in the wind and from the distant falling star and from the questions my heart might ask in the darkness.
So there will be vistas rearranged and gender roles played out and gender assumptions upheld and gender clichés torn down. There will be trilateral sibling relationships established to our hopes and expectations, or far beyond them, or far beneath them, or maybe above and beneath at once. There will continue to be comments about the kids and the crazy and the how do we do it and their rambunctiousness and I'll need to find new pat answers with which to deflect my irritation with your assumptions and my vulnerabilities. There will be trees that rustle in the dark and scary of night and there will always be the questions my heart might ask before day breaks. But there will be also two girls, and a boy, and schmegma, I learned, is no thing to fear, because that same vocabulary word also describes the clitoral goo found in the folds of newborn girls. Well, then!
We are, in fact, already schmegmal experts.
Which proves: it is okay to face the dark questions. To believe in these children, all three, and not in their genders. To play interior decorator to both baby boy nurseries and mental landscape projections.
To protect the sweet it is imperative also to protect the bitter. The vision of the sisters three was something I've been loathe to drop but in holding it so tight this boy has had the playspace to become the bigger question mark than he might ever have otherwise been. He can be anything, any boy, because I didn't stick him in any Box of Expectations.
He'll come, and he'll have all the room in the world to roam. And I feel lighter and brighter for having realized it. There's truth in my weak joke: we don't know what to do with a boy. But we'll figure it out.

Circumcision is the removal of the foreskin of the penis. The foreskin is a sheath of skin that covers the tip of the penis.
Copyright © Nucleus Medical Media, Inc.
Circumcision may be done for cultural or religious reasons. It is usually done during the first few days of life. Circumcision may be done on older boys as a treatment for medical problems. Problems may include foreskin that is too tight or foreskin that cannot retract.
Circumcision may be associated with a decreased risk of:
Talk to your doctor about the risk and benefits of circumcision for your child.
Problems from the procedure are rare, but all procedures have some risk. Your child's doctor will review potential problems, like:
Factors that may increase the risk of complications include:
Your child will have a physical exam. The penis will be examined for any abnormalities. Your child may also need blood and urine tests done.
Your child may not be able to eat or drink after midnight the night before the procedure. Ask your doctor when your child should stop eating and drinking.
General anesthesia will be used. Your child will be asleep during the procedure.
The anesthesia will be given. After your child is asleep, the foreskin will be pulled away from the penis. The foreskin may have some areas attached to the head of the penis. The doctor will cut these attachments. The excess foreskin will then be cut away. If needed, stitches may be placed to stop bleeding.
Petroleum jelly or an antibiotic ointment will be smeared on the penis. A bandage may be applied.
Your child will be monitored in a recovery room.
Less than one hour
Anesthesia prevents pain during surgery. Your child will be given medication to relieve pain or soreness during recovery.
There may be swelling of the penis. A clear scab may also develop over the area. The penis should heal within 7-10 days of the circumcision.
It is important to keep your child's penis clean while the circumcision heals. Follow these steps to promote good healing:
Your child may have some discomfort while urinating for the first few days. Use pain medication as prescribed.
It is important to monitor your child's recovery. Alert your child's doctor to any problems. If any of the following occur, call your child's doctor:
If you think you have an emergency, call for medical help right away.

To complete the credentialing process to become a dual enrollment instructor for VWCC, a public school teacher is required to:
As soon as the high school teacher has submitted his/her Commonwealth of Virginia application and current resume to Dr. Beard, and after all of the official transcripts have been received by her, the credentialing process can begin. Once the official transcripts have verified the necessary degrees and the content course work equates to 18 graduate semester hours of credit in the teaching field, the candidate is issued an EMPLID number and becomes an adjunct faculty member for Virginia Western Community College.
As a adjunct faculty member at VWCC, an instructor is fully credentialed and recognized by the College, the Virginia Community College System and the Southern Association of Colleges and Schools (SACS) as having met the basic criteria and standards to become a college-level instructor.
This same credentialing process applies to career and technical education instructors who usually do not possess a master's degree, but who may have a bachelor's degree, an associate degree, or work experience in a particular field. Once these teachers have submitted a Commonwealth of Virginia employment application, a current resume, and official transcripts of any and all college work, the credentialing process begins with an examination of any work experience listed on the resume and the length of time the teacher has been employed in the educational setting.
Usually, a combination of some advanced schooling/training and employment experience will qualify a career and technical education teacher to instruct dual enrolled classes.
