The Innova Krait is a distance driver with good straight line stability that handles power well. The comfortably smooth rim glides quite cleanly through the air. The Krait should prove popular with players who normally throw understable discs and are looking for a stable flyer.
The Krait sits between the Wraith and Archon in the speed 11 range. It has similar stability to the TeeDevil with a slightly smaller rim to appeal to a wider range of throwers. The Krait's unique ability to achieve a mellow low speed fade, while simultaneously resisting high speed turn makes it a perfect choice for long range shot shaping off the tee. The Krait provides a stable flight with a straight finish for most players. Power players can expect some turn for reliable shot shaping.
Power players will be able to use the Krait as a finesse driver or long range roller. Moderate arm speed produces a straight, long drive. Although the Krait doesn't have a lot of fade, it's still a very effective driver in windy conditions. Sidearm throwers will appreciate the resistance to turn combined with a slow fade at the end of the flight.
The Krait is a great choice for straight drives, 'Go to' distance drives and long distance shot shaping.
A special limited edition CFR Champ metal Flake Krait wa released to raise funds for the 2012 Tim Selinske US Masters championships in Louisville KY on Labor Day Weekend Aug 31 through Sept 2nd.
Available in:
Champion 165-175
Blizzard Champion 131-159 grams (130-139 float)

A Journey from Bangkok to Bali
Experience the magic of Thailand, Malaysia, Singapore and Bali, and a three-night luxury train ride aboard the Eastern & Oriental Express
Tour Details
Join us for an exotic journey to the East, traveling through sumptuous, ever-changing landscapes that showcase ancient histories and diverse cultures. In Bangkok, experience Thailand's history, customs, and art at the Grand Palace and the Temple of the Emerald Buddha, and at Wat Pho with its famous Reclining Buddha. During a leisurely cruise up the Chao Phraya River, explore the extravagant royal Summer Palace and the World Heritage site of Ayutthaya (an ancient capital of Siam), and visit a special sanctuary for endangered Asian elephants.
Board the opulent Eastern & Oriental Express for a three-night rail journey through lush tropical landscapes, stopping off to boat down the River Kwai and learn about the Thailand-Burma Railway. You'll also see the Malay, Chinese, and Indian influences in the old trading port of George Town, capital of Penang, Malaysia, and a World Heritage site. Spend a day exploring the modern city of Singapore, then fly to the luxuriant island of Bali for a three-night stay. Meet a spiritual healer, visit with students and teachers at a local school, and take in the rice fields that are so central to the culture (and considered a World Heritage site). You'll also discover an ancient temple, the Sacred Monkey Forest, and the artistic enclave of Ubud, and relax on the beautiful white-sand beaches of your resort. Limited to 28 participants.
May Departure Itinerary
Days 1-2 — U.S., Bangkok, Thailand
Depart the U.S. for Bangkok, Thailand. After crossing the International Dateline, arrive in Bangkok and transfer to the Peninsula Hotel, a Bangkok landmark and luxury hotel located on the Chao Phraya River with magnificent views of the city.
After checking in, enjoy the many amenities of your hotel until the welcome reception.
Day 3 — Bangkok
Today, learn about Thailand's history, customs, arts, and more. See Bangkok's river life as you cruise the Chao Phraya to see the famous Thonburi canals, a floating community with homes, temples, markets and more. As the cruise ends, continue your excursion on land. Visit the Grand Palace and the Emerald Buddha Temple, take a tuk tuk ride to Wat Pho to see the reclining Buddha, and stop to take a photo of Wat Arun, the Temple of Dawn. Stop for lunch of Thai cuisine at a restaurant in a century-old historic building. (B,L)
Day 4 — Bangkok, Ayutthaya
Enjoy a leisurely cruise up the Chao Phraya River to visit Bang Pa-In, the extravagant royal Summer Palace, surrounded by manicured gardens. Another highlight this morning is the World Heritage site of Ayutthaya, the grand, ancient capital of Siam from the 14th to 18th centuries. You'll also visit the Royal Elephant Kraal, a sanctuary for endangered Asian elephants, which are a Thai national symbol. Tour this exceptional facility that promotes the humane treatment and conservation of these gentle giants, newborns to seniors. (B,L)
Day 5 — Bangkok, Embark the Eastern & Oriental Express Train
Begin your day with a cruise of the famous Thonburi klongs. This canal network forms a floating community, where people live and work. Then ponder the story of Jim Thompson, the mysterious American who brought Thai silk to international attention, as you explore the teak buildings that comprise his antique-rich home. Enjoy some free time to browse the shop, which is filled with exquisite silk goods. Enjoy a Thai lunch at the Thompson Bar & Restaurant. In the afternoon, board the opulent Eastern & Oriental Express. As the train departs Bangkok, watch the cityscape fade into a lush rural tapestry. (B,L,D)
Day 6— Kanchanaburi
Sip your morning coffee as the Eastern and Oriental Express departs from Wang Po along the wooden trestle viaduct beside a towering cliff. Board a boat at River Kwai Bridge station and learn about the Thailand-Burma railway from a local historian as you float down the Kwai Yai River. Then, drive past the North Temple and Chinese Cemetery to the Thailand-Burma Railway Center and the Don Rak War Cemetery, where 7,000 Allied soldiers who died while building the railway during World War II are buried. (B,L,D)
Day 7 — Georgetown, Malaysia
The Eastern and Oriental Express arrives in Butterworth. You'll then transfer to Georgetown, a World Heritage site, and stroll the narrow streets of this colonial town, the capital of Penang, Malaysia. See the Malay, Chinese, and Indian influences in this old trading port as you explore historic mosques, churches, temples, bazaars, and shops before returning to Butterworth. This evening, sip a nightcap in the piano bar with friends on the final evening aboard the elegant Eastern and Oriental Express. (B,L,D)
Day 8 — Singapore
Arrive in Singapore this morning and during a city tour see the skyscraping Marina Bay Sands resort and Merlion Park. Drive through the Civic District past the Padang, Cricket Club, Parliament House, Supreme Court, City Hall, and more. Explore Thian Hock Keng Temple, the Temple of Holy Bliss, one of the city's oldest temples. This afternoon, check in to the Mandarin Oriental, Singapore, an award-winning hotel. (B)
Day 9 — Bali, Indonesia
This morning, depart for the airport for your flight to Bali. Bali lies between two islands, Java and Lombok and two continents, Asia and Australia. It is one of more than 18,000 islands that make up the Indonesian Archipelago. Upon arrival, transfer to the Jimbaran Puri Bali, a luxury resort on the southern tip of the island, overlooking one of the island's most beautiful beaches. The rest of the day is at your leisure to enjoy the hotel's many amenities. (B)
Day 10 — Bali
Go behind the scenes to learn about some of the many traditions of Bali. Meet a spiritual healer, visit with the students and teachers in a local school, and stop at a traditional Balinese housing compound to observe the local lifestyle and traditional activities. Continue to the rice fields to learn about subak, an ancient irrigation system still in use today. However, this cooperative system is more than a means to water fields—it is an extension of temple culture, and considered a World Heritage site. If you wish, you can try your hand at planting or harvesting rice. If you choose, surrender your feet to the relaxing experience of a traditional Balinese foot massage. During the day's activities, enjoy Balinese coffee and tea. At lunch, savor Indonesian specialties during an al fresco lunch by the rice fields. (B,L)
Day 11 — Pura Tirta Empul, Ubud Monkey Forest and a Traditional Market
Today, head up into the hills of Bali. The morning begins with a visit to Pura Tirta Empul, a temple in Tampak Siring where the water from a bubbling spring is believed to have healing powers. The temple, built in 926, features two bathing pools where the Balinese hold purification ceremonies. Continue to the Sacred Monkey Forest of Padangtegal near the village of Ubud to see the long-tailed macaques who live in this rain forest and to learn about this sacred area. The long-tailed macaques are protected by Balinese Hindu beliefs, which teach that monkeys are the embodiment of both positive and negative forces. Enjoy a lunch of Balinese cuisine in Ubud. Conclude with a visit to Ubud's famous market, where you will find batiks and other textiles, silver jewelry, woodwork, and other traditional crafts. This evening, gather with fellow travelers to bid farewell to Bali at a farewell dinner. (B,L,D)

I don't think Wine can work with any of the open source drivers at the moment. Also, I don't think Arcanum works really well with Wine either.
Hi, i have ubuntu 8.10 64 bit, open source drivers mesa 7.2. When i use WINE, it get me to login screen. i try to turn off compiz but did not work also. I wont to play Arcanum . Any suggestion?
I don't think Wine can work with any of the open source drivers at the moment. Also, I don't think Arcanum works really well with Wine either.
Maybe this can help. When i want to configure WINE it happens also, it get me to login screen.
Trying to break the language barrier here.
Do you come back to a user login screen (Welcome to Gnome / Ubuntu / Linux)?
or do you get to a login screen in Arcanum? (I have not played the game, so I am not much help there)
It get me back to gnome/ubuntu/linux login screen. Restart X.
So far the only thing I have read is to try to re-install the video driver.
With ATI/AMD prorietary FGLRX graphic driver it whose easy to reinstall, but with open source i am little lost. Any help?
Maybe stating the obvious, but, could you post your video hardware specs? Usually (and I'm speaking about ATi/nVidia proprietary drivers here) this is usually due to an incompatible version of the GL library being installed. You mentioned you are on a 64-bit system, however, do you also have the 32-bit Mesa packages installed? Without these Wine cannor run. Recently Wine tied the 2D graphics draw to OpenGL, hence it requires fully operational OpenGL rendering in 32-bit mode for 64-bit Operating Systems. This seems to be a case of no 32-bit OpenGL (Mesa) libGL bein present in your system.
Also, you mention Ubuntu, which IIRC does things a bit differently in its 64-bit version, using /usr/lib32 for the 32-bit library files instead of /usr/lib, considered to be the standard for 32-bit libraries and binaries, and /usr/lib64 for 64-bit libraries and binaries. This makes things a bit harder, as most programs would expect to link to files found in /usr/lib for 32-bit binaries instead of /usr/lib32 (unless some ld.so.conf magic is played)...
In short my advise would be to check if you have indeed the libGL.so files in either /usr/lib/libGL.so, /usr/lib32/libGL.so, /usr/lib64/libGL.so, etc... And maybe to see if there is a 'wine' file in /etc/ld.so.conf.d/ (if you have an /etc/ld.so.conf.d directory, otherwise, check the contents of the /etc/ld.so.conf file)

C Spire pleased with decision by FCC to block AT&T/T-Mobile merger
Executives with C Spire were pleased with the news from Tuesday that the chairman of the Federal Communications Commission took steps to block the proposed $39 billion merger of the mobile phone companies AT&T and T-Mobile USA.
"We are pleased the FCC has taken this important step toward a formal, administrative hearing to resolve questions regarding AT&T's claims regarding its takeover of T-Mobile," Eric Graham, vice president of Strategic and Government Relations for C Spire Wireless, told the Mississippi Business Journal. "C Spire Wireless has long asserted that this acquisition would be harmful to competition, the wireless industry and consumers. This action shows that Chairman Genachowski — like the Department of Justice — recognizes the harm inherent in AT&T's bid to eliminate a competitor from the marketplace."

>> SEE RELATED STORY: iPhone a coup for C Spire
>> SEE RELATED STORY: C Spire reveals iPhone plan
>> SEE RELATED STORY: Competitors react to C Spire's deal with Apple for iPhone
The chairman, Julius Genachowski, made the move after the commission's staff concluded that the deal would harm consumers, kill jobs and result in an overly concentrated wireless phone industry, F.C.C. officials said.
The decision puts another large roadblock in front of AT&T, the nation's second-largest wireless phone company, in its effort to buy T-Mobile, the fourth-largest carrier. In August, the Justice Department filed a federal antitrust lawsuit to block the merger, saying it would stifle competition.
Mr. Genachowski on Tuesday notified the other three F.C.C. commissioners that he intended to refer the proposed merger to an administrative law judge for a trial-like hearing in which AT&T would be required to show that the deal was "in the public interest." The commission — currently composed of three Democrats, including Mr. Genachowski, and one Republican — is likely to vote on the chairman's plan in the next couple of weeks, an agency official said.

This is personal.

Great article Michael!
Its quite sad to see how little these tweaks boosted performance on the r600 (46xx and 48xx) series. Maybe, just like AMD, all the resources are being put into the newer generation cards.
Two comments about the graphs:
1. At some point, the order changes, Catalyst moves position to between the two mesa results, which is confusing.
2. Why not have vertical indicators at 30, 60, 120 ... fps instead of automatically determined by the results? From my point of view 30 is ok, 60 is the maximum for most displays, and more than 120 is uninteresting in practice.
Also, why not put the Xonotic results directly after Nexuiz if you refer to them anyway?
It does, in applications that enable texture compression the fps are higher when libtxc-dxtn is installed.
Great article Michael!

hey i do have the same problem here: http://phoronix.com/forums/showthrea...n-driver/page2
hd4770 13fps hd6770=4xfps
but its 6xx shaders vs 800 shaders and 750mhz vs 800mhz
the hd6770 should not be 4 times faster maybe 1/3 faster.
Thanks for this benchmark. The problem is that I already knew the results. The OSS driver performs bad and misses plenty of features. Catalyst driver performs good for 3D but is a piece of crap under all the other aspects.
Under Linux you can never have 1 thing that works good for all scenarios. You have to choose between 2 or more things depending on your needs and will never be 100% satisfied because one day, soon or later, you will surely need that missing feature that only the other choice has.
So it's pretty much the same old story: despite all the effort spent tweaking the OSS drivers, they're still running at a tiny fraction of the speed of the closed-source binary blobs. Other than supporting older chipsets that Catalyst has put out to pasture, it's difficult to put a positive spin on this.
I did hear that the nouveau driver performs much better in relation to the blob.
I don't really understand why the open ati driver is still that slow after several years and with ATI itself as the major contributor.
They needed to catch up on multiple generations - there are now three open AMD drivers - r300g, r600g and radeonsi.
Then there's all the work they have done that wasn't been able to be released.
Actually 4 developers, a fraction of a manager and no lawyers but don't let me slow you down
IIRC the main differences between radeon and nouveau in terms of performance progress are :
1. the NVidia hardware equivalent of two performance improving features (what we call tiling and HyperZ) are implemented in such a way that "turning them on" requires less driver work than doing the same on ATI/AMD hardware. Jerome and others been making great progress here recently.
2. the VLIW shader core probably requires relatively more shader compiler effort to get to comparable levels of HW utilization. I'm not sure this is an issue but we should know more once the SI open source driver starts to run beneficially.

Comments about Native Remedies PetAlive Thyroid Soothe:
My feline willingly takes this remedy sprinkled in food so as long as he likes his food, he takes the dose. It took a while for us to establish his dose but I feel confident his weight gain and his returned behavior to seak warmth (as felines normally due) can be attributed to this remedy. He is certainly much more healthy than a few months ago.

Series: "Lost World of Genesis One" Book Club (7 entries)

Companion series to the spring 2015 book club featuring "The Lost World of Genesis One: Ancient Cosmology and the Origins Debate" by John Walton.
Jim Stump explores the meaning of the Lenten season from the perspective of evolutionary creation.
In both form and content, then, Genesis 1 reveals that its basic purposes are religious and theological, not scientific or historical.
All creation is the doings of God's hands, no matter how he did it. When I look at a painting, I can connect somehow with the painter, and the same goes with the universe and God.
The words we use to talk about the Bible and science often predispose us towards unnecessary conflicts.
Here are some of the best responses from around the web to David's Barash's controversial editorial about God and Evolution in the New York Times.
If discussions of science and religion sometimes get bogged down in Genesis, perhaps that is because they have not made the preparatory journey through the rich material of the Wisdom books.
We must press beyond the various creation narratives in the Hebrew Bible, including the final chapters of Job, to the picture of God revealed in the New Testament—the Creator who does not rationally explain away the scandal of suffering but who instead enters into it.
What we do learn from scripture is that there is only one Creator and that there's a clear distinction between God and the created world. And that we who are created in the image of God are able to investigate a creation that is remarkably tuned for our discovery.
Sometimes, out of fear or some sense of being required to defend our position, Church leaders and teachers have hastily set up a boundary marker around some doctrinal theory which they have confused as a core doctrinal issue.
"It's tempting to think that the church needs to decide quickly which of these [original sin] scenarios is right, and which ones must be wrong. I believe the church is better served by taking its time, holding several different scenarios in tension for a while as we think through the implications of each."
Critics of Christianity look to evolution to show how the emergence of human life on earth demanded enormous ruin and ravage, billions of years of apparent waste and futility, species extermination and organism road kill. Not only was the massive dying off rampant, it's mandatory too.
The gift of Love must be the gift of freedom, the gift of a degree of letting-be, and this can be expected to be true of all creatures to the extent that is appropriate to their proper character. It is in the nature of dense snow fields that they will sometimes slip with the destructive force of an avalanche. It is the nature of lions that they will seek their prey. It is the nature of cells that they will mutate, sometimes producing new forms of life, sometimes grievous disabilities, sometimes cancers.
These excerpts from Origins: Christian Perspectives on Creation, Evolution, and Intelligent Design, written by BioLogos president Deborah Haarsma and her husband Loren Haarsma, offer a sampling of the book's many topics, from exploring our disagreements and agreements on origins as Christians to explaining scientific processes to looking at how we read Genesis.
In this video Conversation, Denis Alexander asserts that contemporary Christians are not taking the early chapters of Genesis seriously enough.
Although committed to the principle of sola Scriptura, Calvin recognized that the Bible would have been written in terms its original recipients would have understood. Calvin inherited the medieval cosmology of his time, a way of viewing the world heavily influenced by Greek thought and one which was about to receive shocks from astronomers such as Copernicus and Galileo. But not just yet.
This ongoing series written by historian Ted Davis begins with a brief synopsis of his personal background, and then goes on to reveal his passion for debunking "the now-common view that the history of science and Christianity is one of ongoing, inevitable conflict."
Augustine had a great deal to say about those chapters in Genesis that are especially controversial within Christianity today.
In this series, David Buller pays careful attention to the original language and cultural context of Genesis 2, revealing that our responsibility to care for creation is a sacred task given to us by God, not merely a modern secular activity. By taking Scripture seriously, we learn that we have a God-given mandate to be diligent stewards of His creation.

Tanaka fans 10 in Yanks' loss to Orioles
NEW YORK -- The game was supposed to showcase Masahiro Tanaka, the Yankees' prized new starter pitching in front of his new fans in the Bronx for the first time, but even his dazzling debut and major offensive support from fellow newcomer Carlos Beltran weren't enough, as the Orioles prevailed, 5-4, following a four-hit, two-run ninth-inning surge.
Hailed by opposing manager Buck Showalter as "the best acquisition of the offseason" before the game, Tanaka showed those in attendance why the franchise made such a financial investment in him. The $155 million man went seven innings, yielding three runs on seven hits and one walk while striking out 10. Orioles hitters whiffed at 22 of his 101 offerings, with half the misses induced by his splitter.
Beltran, meanwhile, went 3-for-3 with a single, double and homer, and two runs scored, and was issued an intentional walk in the eighth inning with the potential go-ahead run on third base.
Brian Matusz got the win in relief for Baltimore, and Tommy Hunter survived a hairy ninth inning for the save after allowing the first two runners to reach and one to score. Starter Miguel Gonzalez logged a quality start with a three-run, six-inning outing.
New York's interim closer, Shawn Kelley, took the loss after entering in the ninth with the score tied at 3. A leadoff double by Baltimore's Ryan Flaherty preceded a series of soft singles by Jonathan Schoop, Nick Markakis and Delmon Young and a sacrifice fly from Chris Davis for the game-winning rally. All four hits came off Kelley's slider, and three came with two strikes.
"I felt like I made some good pitches early in counts to get ahead of guys," Kelley said, "and then [against] a couple of guys with two strikes, I got the ball down, but I would have liked it to have been in the dirt. I felt like they did a pretty good job getting the barrel to some good pitches."
Despite the no-decision, Tanaka was the story of the night. He featured a fastball that he ran up to 93 mph to go along with a devastating swing-and-miss splitter and at least one slider he wishes he could have back.
"Throughout the game, I think, I was able to battle," Tanaka said through an interpreter, "but with two runners on and [giving] a home run to the ninth batter, that I can't do."
Tanaka worked in and out of trouble, stranding five runners -- including three in scoring position -- but the only damage imprinted on the scoreboard came in the second inning, when Schoop crushed a 1-0 slider to the upper deck in left field for a three-run blast.
The start followed a similar progression as his Major League debut in Toronto on Friday, when he also allowed three runs in the first two innings before holding his opponent scoreless the next five.
"I thought he battled out of some tough jams today," manager Joe Girardi said. "I thought he made some pitches when had to. Again, it seemed like he got better as the night went on."
Beltran retaliated with his own second-deck shot in the second inning, crushing an 0-1 changeup to right field for a solo homer. Kelly Johnson added a solo homer three batters later to cut Baltimore's lead to one run.
Beltran's 359th career blast was his first as a Yankee and pushed him past Yogi Berra on the all-time list.
In the fourth inning, Beltran lined a double into the right-field corner before moving up to third base on Brian McCann's deep flyout. Beltran scored on Alfonso Soriano's grounder to shortstop, even though the Orioles' infield was partially drawn in.
Tanaka was well supported defensively, especially in the sixth inning. Center fielder Brett Gardner ranged deep to snare a deep fly hit by Nelson Cruz, Soriano made a diving catch on a sinking liner down the left-field line off the bat of Steve Lombardozzi and Brian Roberts scooped a short hop smacked by Flaherty and made the play to first for a one-two-three innings of defensive highlights.
Tanaka barely needed any help in the seventh, as he struck out two and fielded a comebacker for the other out. He walked only one, but it was enough to snap the rotation's five-start streak -- that he started -- without issuing any free passes at all. Tanaka exited having thrown 101 pitches, 71 for strikes. In Japan he was used to throwing more pitches per outing but also having more days of rest to recover.
"I probably would have been able to [pitch more]," he said, "but I understand that there's only four days in between [starts] and also that it's going to be a long season, so I'm just basically going with what the team is telling me to do."
After striking out eight last week, Tanaka is now the second Yankee in franchise history with at least eight whiffs in each of his first two big league starts, joining Allen Russell, who did so in 1915.
As for Beltran, he entered the game just 5-for-27 but broke out against Baltimore. The 17-year veteran with more than 2,200 hits was just a triple shy of the cycle and is hopeful that he regained his timing in the batter's box.
"You always need a good game to gain a little bit of confidence at the plate," Beltran said. "It's not that I don't have confidence, it's just that I felt like I was a little bit in between [on my timing]. I was a little bit out front on the breaking pitches and a little behind on the fastball. Today I was aggressive, and I was swinging at strikes."
The Yankees threatened to break the tie in the eighth inning. Gardner led off with a double but was ultimately stranded on third. Derek Jeter laid down a sacrifice bunt to move Gardner within 90 feet of the plate with only one out, but Jacoby Ellsbury hit a foul pop to the third baseman and, after Beltran's intentional walk, McCann flied out to center.

Phillies turn to Lee on short notice to even series
Stults hopes to take series and win Padres' fifth straight
Winners of six of their last seven and four straight, the Padres will try to win a fifth consecutive game Wednesday in Philadelphia for the first time since mid-June, when the club won seven in a row to move two-games above .500.
Standing in San Diego's way will be Phillies left-hander Cliff Lee, who was originally supposed to start Thursday before the club decided to give Roy Halladay an extra day's rest due to flu-like symptoms.
"I think he lost a lot of strength for a couple days there," interim manager Ryne Sandberg said of Halladay. "He actually went home the first day with it. He's feeling much better."
Because of an off-day on Monday, however, Lee will still be on normal rest when he takes the mound Wednesday. The last time the 35-year-old started, he took down the Braves by tossing eight dominant innings, allowing just one run on two hits while striking out 10 as the Phillies won, 2-1.
Opposing Lee for the Padres will be left-hander Eric Stults, who will try to bounce back from one of his worst outings of the year his last time out. The southpaw surrendered seven runs on nine hits over just 4 2/3 innings against the Giants.
"He just wasn't making pitches consistently," Padres manager Bud Black said after the game.
Boding well for Stults is the fact that he pitched well earlier this year against the Phillies, allowing two runs over seven strong innings back on June 24.
Before the game on Wednesday, the Phillies will hold a ceremony commemorating those lost on 9/11. The Philadelphia Police and Fire Departments will do the honor of presenting all 50 state flags on the field.
All on-field personnel, including players, coaches and umpires, will wear an American flag patch embroidered on the side of their caps.
Padres: Medica could debut Wednesday
The Padres still aren't quite sure what to make of first baseman Tommy Medica, who on Sunday was helping the Double-A San Antonio Missions advance in the Texas League playoffs.
They're about to find out, though. Padres manager Bud Black said there's a good chance Medica could get his first start Wednesday.
"There's a little something in his bat," Black said. "We think here in September that he brings us another bat on the bench. He'll get some starts, too. We're looking forward to getting him into the lineup. We feel as though he's deserving of this."
Medica hit .296 with 20 home runs, 65 RBIs and 45 extra-base hits this season between five games in the Arizona League and 76 games with the Missions.
Phillies: Rupp collects first big league hit
Cameron Rupp rose steadily through the organizational catching ranks this year, and he got his reward Tuesday against the Padres at Citizens Bank Park, starting behind home plate and collecting his first Major League hit in the eighth inning.
Rupp hit a combined .258 with 16 doubles, one triple, 14 home runs and 45 RBIs in 94 games between Double-A Reading and Triple-A Lehigh Valley.
"I'm anxious to see where he's at," Phillies interim manager Ryne Sandberg said before Tuesday's game. "I haven't seen him catch at all. It'll be the first time. I know that he's come a long way and he's developed a lot, so I'm anxious to see him work behind the plate and swing the bat."
Rupp ended up going 1-for-4 on Tuesday with a run scored.
Worth noting
• The Padres opened their third and final 10-game road trip of the season on Tuesday with an 8-2 win over the Phillies.
• Since 2004, Philadelphia has gone 44-20 vs. San Diego.

Get Cost Benefits by CNG Vehicle Conversions
Any driver will agree that filling up gas these days can be quite costly. The national average cost for gas is estimated to be around $3.5 per gallon; which is actually a drop as compared to the prices registered back in 2013, about $3.80 per gallon. This price is often subject to change due to the changes in the international price of oil; which constantly fluctuates depending on several factors like domestic issues for instance, natural disasters and government policies; decisions made by OPEC; as well as international conflicts.
During most of the period the price of crude oil has been on the rise, the price of natural gas has on the other hand been on the drop. This can largely be attributed to the continued use of hydraulic fracturing to reach deposits of natural gas that were earlier deemed as inaccessible. This drop in price is being exploited by many buyers of modern vehicles. The financial, environmental and operational benefits associated with CNG cars are driving more people into CNG vehicle conversions in OKC.
It is very clear that the future of energy innovation is greatly dependent on CNG and other sources of clean energy. Some of the cost benefits you get with CNG vehicle conversion include:
- Pollution of air with toxic gases is a cause of a host of respiratory conditions. The occurrence of these conditions can greatly be eliminated with the use of natural gas vehicles which have been designed to emit close to zero emissions. Fueling emissions in gasoline cars can account for up to 50% of the total emissions of hydrocarbons. Furthermore, global warming is costing the globe more and more dollars in trying to pay for the climate changes. This can greatly be eliminated by the use of CNG vehicles that produce significantly fewer pollutants as opposed to gasoline-powered vehicles that release CO2 through tailpipe emissions.
- The average cost of CNG is between 15% and 50% less expensive than an equivalent gallon of gasoline. In addition, the financial incentive advantage on CNG offers an investment tax credit of 50% for any vehicle that is converted to CNG fuel system.
- Vehicles driving on natural gas have no carbon deposits similar to those found in gasoline engines. As a result, there is reduced friction which means the engine is not subject to wear. This ensures a long lasting engine that eliminates frequent maintenance costs thanks to the product's clean-burning qualities.
- CNG systems are becoming more and more popular as each day goes by. This is because more people are discovering the benefits that are associated with using CNG vehicles. The initial cost of buying a CNG vehicle may be high for many people out there; but the cost of owning one is greatly lower than owning a gasoline car. However, today cars can be converted from gasoline or diesel into CNG vehicles by fitting a CNG conversion kit and are now enjoying many of these benefits of CNG vehicle conversion

Marauding with Monsters is a book written by Gilderoy Lockhart. It covers information on some magical creatures along with later-proven-false personal reminiscences of Lockhart's.
Chapter I - Animal, Vegetable, Horklump or Gnome?Edit
A Horklump can be overcome by casting Flipendo to retract its spikes and then pulling it out of the ground. During my myriad travels across this magical globe of ours, I have beheld many strange sights and encountered a veritable bestiary of peculiar and exotic creatures. The vast majority of creatures I have had the misfortune to encounter have been of a decidedly threatening variety – not so the Horklump, which is similar to a large, bristly toadstool and is actually an animal rather than a plant. I well remember the time when, during a particularly satisfying sojourn with some fans of mine in the wilds of Essex, I offered to clear a pathway in their quaint, suburban yard (I quail from terming this square of scrub and turf a 'garden'), which had been ubiquitously blocked by several Horklumps. The usual technique for Horklumps is to hit them with a Knockback Jinx then, taking a good firm hold on them, twist and yank them from the ground. Needless to say, when I had cleared the pathway of every last Horklump, my fans were more than grateful and rewarded me with several bottles of their home-brewed Celery and Beetroot Wine – which, of course, I promptly declined.
Gnomes are rather more threatening than the inert and somewhat tedious Horklump. These little pests are endemic to even the most well-tended garden – like my own, for example, which stretches to eight, well-manicured acres. A rather common way to deal with garden gnomes is to grab them as they pop up from their burrows, and spin them in a circle. After doing so, keep spinning them (make sure that they are well away from your hair) above your head and then launch them as far as possible. However, I have found that the most efficient way of dealing with this potato-headed garden blight is to Flipendo the little blighter, grab him by the legs and fling him over a low wall or hedgerow – preferably not into your neighbour's smaller and less cared for garden! One must be careful of the gnome's tiny, yet razor-sharp teeth, but a well-targeted Flipendo Knockback Jinx will deal with them most assuredly.
Chapter II - Of Impish IdiosyncrasiesEdit
To dispose of an Imp, Flipendo it then pick it up and drop in the nearest cage, hole or bottomless pit. I well remember the time when, on a particularly dangerous trek along the banks of the River Clyde in Glasgow, Scotland, in search of the fabled 'Weetimorousbeastie', I chanced upon a snickering cluster of Imps. Not to be confused with the pixie, these small, spiteful creatures are mischievous in the extreme and often waylay the unwary traveller, pushing and tripping them in a most unpleasant manner. As a well-seasoned traveller across this magnificent globe of ours, I, of course, am never 'unwary' and immediately upon spotting the snickering gang, I whipped out my trusty wand and cast a particularly well-aimed Flipendo Knockback Jinx at their cavorting leader. Before his gibbering cohorts could react, I then proceeded to grab the upended Imp by its slimy ankles (being careful not to besmirch my lime green robes) and threw it into the Clyde where it floundered most satisfyingly before dragging itself on to the opposite bank and fleeing in the direction of the nearby sewage works. Thus were the Imps defeated – the remaining band of jabbering pests running back to the filthy hole from whence they came.
Chapter III - A Frenzy of Furious Fire CrabsEdit
Subdue a Fire Crab by casting Flipendo then casting Incendio. I well recall the time when, on a peculiarly perspicacious journey into the heart of the Fijian rainforest, while engaged in a legendary odyssey to rescue the Giant Fire Crab from extinction at the hands of unscrupulous wizard poachers, I had occasion to rest awhile in the shade of a banyan tree. While performing certain urgent ablutions, I was attacked by a veritable horde of furious fire crabs – these dastardly crustaceans obviously ignorant of the fact that I was endeavouring to save one of their kind from going the way of the dodo. Gracefully, I managed to dance away from the fearsome blasts of flame roaring from their posteriors and immediately whipped out my trusty wand. With several deft and delightful casts of the Knockback Jinx, the fire crabs were all flipped on to their backs, their pathetic legs waving uselessly in the fetid Fijian air. Leaving their exposed bellies to the burning rays of the searing Fijian sun, I went jauntily on my way – with an avowed intent to join the unscrupulous wizard poachers and assist them in wiping out every last trace of these cruel and savage crustaceans.
Chapter IV - Dire Dog SpiritsEdit
Gytrashes are only hurt by the light directed from a Lumos Spell. The black, vampire-infested forest of central Romania is not so bleak and forbidding a place than the twisted heart of the New Forest in Hampshire, England. It was here, several winters ago that I chanced upon two of the most dreadful creatures known to wizards and witches. I well remember the hour, late in the day, as I wandered gaily through the blighted woodland in search of the infamous Wild Ponies of that area. I entered a leafy glade, only to be confronted by a pair of prowling Gytrashes. These large dog-like spirits barred my way and so, whipping out my trusty wand, I cast Lumos to illuminate its tip, whereupon the Gytrashes retreated from the light and I was free to pass through the forest unmolested.

Gallery: Atelier Tekuto's Earth Brick House is the Epitome of Efficient...
The magnesium/clay brick has been shown to surpasses the strength requirements of the Japanese construction standard.
Atelier Tekuto's goal for the project was to utilize an environmentally friendly building material that was not limited or hindered by the economy. They focused their attention on soil and researched methods and techniques that improved its strength. By adding magnesium oxide to natural clay soil, they increased the strength and longevity of the material so much so that it can pass Japanese structural standards. Magnesium oxide is produced almost everywhere in the world, is non-toxic (it's even used as a food additive), and it can safely return to the ground.
In 2008, Atelier Tekuto started the Earth Block Project, which drew together universities, corporate entities, and specialists to develop a 100% natural earth brick that could be used anywhere. Clay soil is very common throughout the world, and bricks can easily be produced in factories or even by hand. Handmade bricks can be stronger than concrete masonry, and they can be made locally with local materials.
Atelier Tekuto designed and built a single family residence with 2,600 bricks as a testament to their architectural viability. All of the work to create the material – including mixing the ingredients, sourcing the soil, and manually making the bricks – was completed in the same prefecture. A volunteer staff of 4-6 people can make about 30 bricks a day, each of which weighs 20 kilos. Because of building codes, the house also required 400 mm thick walls, a supportive wall every 10 meters, and a top beam of concrete or steel. The home also features glass blocks below the roof line, LVL layered veeners, and a terrazzo floor.

Thanks very much for the publication and information. I am an architect from Argentina, and since years ago do research on sustainability of construction materials, and of course, we investigated solid bricks and masonry. My commnet is that, even though earth and clay are all around the world, they are non-renewable natural resources, and more, solid bricks need fertile soli to achieved good quality. We already have a serious problem regarding the progressive degradation of our Pampa, one of the most fertiles soils in the world, so, it is great to use construction materials that cannot cause a negative impact when building and inhabiting new construcions, but it is very importat to consider the raw material they need and the impact in the short, medium and long term. Thanks for allowing me to express my opinion and concerns. Susana Mühlmann – Energy and Habitat Research Centra, Faculty of Architecture, Desing and Urbanism of the University of Buenos Aires.

Transurethral resection of the prostate (TURP) is a surgery to remove part of the prostate gland.
The prostate gland is part of the male reproductive system. It makes and stores a milky fluid that forms part of semen. The prostate is below the bladder and in front of the rectum. It also wraps around a tube called the urethra. The urethra allows urine to flow out of the body.
A TURP is done when a man has an enlarged, noncancerous prostate. This is called benign prostatic hyperplasia (BPH). In BPH, the prostate grows and presses against the urethra and bladder. The pressure can cause problems with the normal flow of urine. A TURP is done to improve the flow of urine.
A TURP may also be done when a man has prostate cancer. It may be done if the doctor thinks that a complete prostate removal surgery is too risky. In this case, TURP is also done to relieve urine blockage and lessen symptoms. It is not done to treat the cancer itself.
Problems from the procedure are rare, but all procedures have some risk. Your doctor will review potential problems, like:
Some factors that may increase the risk of complications include:
Your doctor may do the following:
Leading up to your procedure:
TURP surgery requires general or spinal anesthesia. You will sleep through the surgery with general anesthesia. Spinal anesthesia will make your lower body numb, but you may be awake.
A special scope that looks like a thin tube with a light on the end will be used. The scope will be passed through the hole at the tip of the penis where urine comes out and passed into the bladder. The bladder will then be filled with a solution. The solution will let the doctor see the inside of your body better.
The prostate gland is examined through the scope. A small surgical tool will be inserted through the scope. This tool will be used to remove a part of the enlarged prostate.
A catheter will be placed in the bladder. Urine will flow out the catheter to give the area time to heal. Your catheter may also be used to flush the bladder and to remove blood clots.

Removed tissue will be sent to a lab for testing.
About 60-90 minutes
Anesthesia will prevent pain during surgery. Pain and discomfort after the procedure can be managed with medications.
An overnight stay is typically planned for a TURP. In some cases, the stay can be up to 2 days.
You will be taken to the recovery room where your breathing, pulse, and heart rate will be monitored. You will be given pain medication.
During your stay, the hospital staff will take steps to reduce your chance of infection, such as:
There are also steps you can take to reduce your chance of infection, such as:
Recovery can take up to 3 weeks. During this time, you may have to change or restrict activities until your doctor says it is okay. Arrange for help at home for a couple of days. You may be given specific exercises to do at home to promote healing and maintain strength. Pain can be managed with medications.
If you go home with a catheter, the hospital staff will teach you how to take care of it. Follow instructions carefully to promote healing and prevent infection.
Do not return to normal or sexual activity before your doctor gives you permission to do so.
It is important for you to monitor your recovery after you leave the hospital. Alert your doctor to any problems right away. If any of the following occur, call your doctor:
If you think you have an emergency, call for medical help right away.

For five years, Alma belonged to one of the most violent gangs in Guatemala City. She has committed murder, battery, and brutality. Brutalized herself, she has been jailed many times. With 18 murders a day, Guatemala is a country undermined by violence. Alma is typical of her generation, where youths grow up in a world in which laws and justice are flouted with impunity. Families mired in poverty, despair, and alcoholism destroy each other in gang warfare that has become an ordinary way of life – and death. She was sentenced to death by her 'homies' the day she wanted to quit the gang. Yet she survived the bullets. Although she will never walk again, she is striving to rebuild her life.

MOTUC Buzz-Off by far...
I just got my MOTUC Buzz-Off, and I have to say he is my favorite out of all other versions. But who is yours? Do you love the nostalgia of the vintage figure, the unique sculpt of the 200X version, the articulation and size of the MOTUC, or did you use your stamper on every piece of paper you could growing up? So what do you say fans?
Worlds Biggest Meteorb Fan!
MOTUC Buzz-Off by far...
"Wheresoever on earth he dwells, man is prey to two weaknesses: the need to pray and the need to love."-Marquis de Sade
"It is not by reasoning or by our understanding that we have received our religion; it is by external authority and command."-Michel De Montaigne
Heretical Vintage Purist and Non-Fan Extraordinaire!
200X Buzz-Off wins this face off.
The Blonde Teela Thread
The Cloak and Dagger Evil-Lyn Thread
Sagitar (Jetlag) Horde Wraiths Azdar Belzar Chazdar Cloak and Dagger Evil-Lyn 200X Teenage Prince Adam 200X Teenage Teela 200X Sorceress General Rattlor (MYP) 200X King Randor and Queen Marlena 200X Battle Armor King Randor and Battle Armor Queen Marlena Ice Armor He-Man WMD Roboto
I agree about the 200X being the winner. >.> <.< "Hyper Detail" FTW
MOTUC. Huge muscles + detail.
I still don't have him in hand. From the comparison picture though I would say MOTUC Buzz-Off.
You know his name still cracks me up. I still love the old mini comic where if you read it quickly it looks like He-Man tells Teela to buzz off. Obviously he is just telling Teela to pair up with Buzz-Off but as a kid that a kid the way it was worded always gave me a chuckle.
Anyway Classics Buzzy for the win. I just wish DR would have not screwed up in shipping him to me.
"I summon forth the portal to the terrible dimension of Despondos!"
I vote MOTUC Buzzy, but only when he's put into that knees bent, battle ready, vintage pose. Something always looks weird to me when MOTUC figures are posed with totally straight legs.
I will place my vote for MOTUC Buzz-Off. I really like him, and he is certainly my favorite of the bunch.
Oh, and Twitch FTW!!!

MOTUC. I must have lost that stupid bug-eyed hat the same day I opened the vintage package as a kid though as my memories of him are without it.
I like 200X Buzz-Off but I must say I completely forgot he also came with a helmet since I put it in a drawer the moment I opened the package... I think he looks weird with it!

Art Spectrum are Australia's most respected oil paints because they conform to the classic tradition. To make a permanent artists' paint, it is of the utmost importance to not only have lightfast pigments and pure linseed oil (safflower oil in whites) but to ensure they are thoroughly milled as well. All colours are triple-milled to ensure that every pigment particle is completely coated with the vehicle, and evenly dispersed. This results in a stable paint film which has even surface tensions. Genuine oil colours characteristically smell of pure and natural vegetable oils.
Available in 40 ml.
Health & Safety: Non Hazardous. Due to its low vapour pressure, it is not considered to be an inhalation hazar at normal room temperature (25ºC).

Although what I stated in a previous post about the language in "To Wives" is true for me, I'm pretty much with Dallas here. Words are only symbols. It's like people that have a problem with the word God. They have such a problem with the word that they can't gey past the word to what the reality is behind the word.
You will recall a General Service Conference agenda item of a few years ago. It proposed to put a disclaimer in the front "Twelve Steps and Twelve Traditions" basically apologizing for the way Bill wrote it, using the language and terminology of those times. Of course it didn't fly.
In short, get over it. I haven't let the way the chapter "Two Wives' is written deter me from using it in my work with others because it does contain some very good principles.

Name: Lawrence Stephen Lowry
Nationality: English
Born: Manchester, England 1887
Died: Manchester 1976
Lawrence Stephen Lowry was a very private person. Lowry never drank nor smoked but said that he derived all the pleasure he needed from his work.
The death of his mother before he came to taste success was a devastating blow to him. A frequently used phrase of Lowry's was that it all came too late referring to the fact that his mother didn't get to see how successful he had become.
Today Lowry is known the world over as the man who painted matchstick men and matchstick cats and dogs and for scenes depicting working class northern England.
However, Lowry painted other things besides Industrial Landscapes such as houses, buildings, portraits and seascapes.
Lowry died at the age of 88.

sleepylover215 @__reddawn It was done not to move J/L along but to get a response from the audience. It was a ploy, and it was never addressed again.

sleepylover215 @__reddawn 2 years later?? I know I'll catch hell for this but to me that was the worse line in all of TM.
Pussinabox Red Dawn was okay. But then I remember the original was nothing great either lol :)
graigs43 @adamcarolla I got excited that it was an unknown sequel to Red Dawn

You think it's time to lock this thread because someone expressed opinions that are different than yours or not considered mainstream or politically correct? Is that the meaning of free speech? I'm surprised to see such closed-mindedness on a FOSS forum, where I'd expect it the least.
Again, you catched on to the word 'inferior' and I was a bit wary to use it for fear people would pick on that.
I don't get your argument about the Nobel Prize, really: http://www.nationmaster.com/graph/pe...rize-laureates
Guess what, the first twenty something countries listed there are composed, with the exception of Japan, of a majority of white people.
Per capita the statistics speak even a clearer language: http://www.nationmaster.com/graph/pe...tes-per-capita
The first ten countries are _all_ in middle/north Europe.
And here is another winning conclusion, from the Wiki page http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of...obel_laureates:
'As of 2008, there have been 754 male Nobel laureates and 35 female laureates.'
And I bet many of those (probably recent) 35 are the result of overly political correctness, which is unfortunately pervading too many aspects of our lives and twisting our perception.
I'm not ignorant, I'm not even generalising, I'm just looking at facts. Men have better technical thinking, women are more feeling-driven. I don't know whether it's a good or a bad thing, it's just _reality_. Political correctness is humans trying to twist nature into their belief that "all people are equal". No we're not. Unless you're going to argue that men can bear babies.

... and thanks for visiting the pages for OLPC related matters in Senegal. OLPC is the One Laptop Per Child Universal Primary Education project and largest educational project undertaken by Humanity ever. Supported by United Nations, OLPC is an "Open Commmunity" project, similar to the Wikipedia and Open Source Community projects, like Linux, OpenOffice, etc. and it is working along Agenda 21 and Millennium Development Goal nr.2: Bringing Universal Primary Education. To edit text on this page or add pages, log in and and "edit page / save page" button will appear.

- 2' video - OLPC Intro part 2
The aim of this educational project is on one hand to bring Universal Primary Education by 2015 as - anno year 2000 initiated - United Nations Millennium Development Goal nr.2. On the other hand, OLPC's mission is to manage the open hard and software project, to bring forward the best possible laptop combination for education: the XO-XServer combination. For this and above approach, - and also a lot of lobbying by the right persons on the right places and time - the United Nations is a Partner in this Open Community project! It is the largest educational project undertaken by Humanity ever, and deemed by many as one of the most inspiring projects out there. Things are moving very fast indeed: 2008 saw the first 3 countries with full coverage, i.e. with all kids age 5 to 12 equipped with these smallest schools in a box-laptops and Australia is now following at fast pace too, over 86.000 eBooks available, all education disciplines covered, etc. etc..
Beaucoup d'inhabitants cherchent fortune ailleurs. Therefore there is a very very large diaspora. We hope that this diaspora will work their way to these pages, set-up, link-up their projects with OLPC, coordinate projects and that they can inspire many in their host countries to come along. It is so difficult in these host countries to develop additional value and hence make money. In many regions in the home country however it is so easy as everything is to be developed.
Also the societies from the host countries will benefit from the Senegal diaspora who has one leg in the host country and another still in their countries of origin. Maybe it will start by developing leadership for OLPC, but soon it will be accompanied by exporting technologies, know-how and experience from the host countries along Agenda 21, the MDG's and together you will be able to accelerate bringing the level of quality of life in Senegal to a level that will inspire others, existing generations and generations to come.
Please feel free to create links, (sub-)categories or list or start collaborating, teaming up and expanding our and your projects, existing and new ones in one of these (sub-)categories.
