My slang word is Barney because it's funny and it makes me laugh. A Barney is a dork or a loser -- someone who's goofy or out there or in the way. The first time I heard it, my friends and I were watching this old '80s surfer movie called North Shore. In it, there's this guy named Turtle who calls another guy a Barney. We were in, like, fourth grade at the time, and my friends all started calling each other Barnies. Then Barney, the big purple dinosaur, came out and that made it even better. Now, everybody uses it.

Student Affairs
Ferrum College is proud to welcome the class of 2018 as we begin our 101st year! Colleges today strive to achieve a healthy balance between freedom and responsibility regarding the student experience. To that end, we at Ferrum emphasize that students must take personal responsibility and be mindful of the risks associated with alcohol and drug use. Further, the entire campus community is educated about our expectations regarding sexual respect and sexual misconduct. The issue of sexual assault on college campuses has received national attention in recent months, and federal and state legislators are quickly setting forth recommendations for action. Our faculty, staff, and students have been working on this issue in a variety of ways, including during student orientation. We have a long-standing policy focused on educating students on this topic and this fall we are enacting additional measures to enhance our campus-wide training, including a website that provides information about sexual violence and how to report it - http://www.ferrum.edu/campus_life/campus_safety_procedures.html.
Vice President for Student Affairs
The Student Affairs Office is located in Bassett Hall, Room B101.

I'm playing around with the NIO library. I'm attempting to listen for a connection on port 8888 and once a connection is accepted, dump everything from that channel to somefile
I know how to do it with ByteBuffers
, but I'd like to get it working with the allegedly super efficient FileChannel.transferFrom
This is what I got:
ServerSocketChannel ssChannel = ServerSocketChannel.open();
ssChannel.socket().bind(new InetSocketAddress(8888));
SocketChannel sChannel = ssChannel.accept();
FileChannel out = new FileOutputStream("somefile").getChannel();
while (... sChannel has not reached end of stream ...) <-- what to put here?
out.transferFrom(sChannel, out.position(), BUF_SIZE);
So, my question is: How do I express "transferFrom
some channel until end-of-stream is reached"?
Edit: Changed 1024 to BUF_SIZE, since the size of the buffer used is irrelevant for the question.

Abu Dhabi and the End of Oil
Like it?
Posted December 17, 2012
Sheik Khalifa Bin Zayed Al Nayhan, Abu Dhabi's ruler officially opens one of the world's largest container ports.
The scale and quality of the construction is awe inspiring and the opening did it justice. The time and date for this auspicious event was at 12 am on the 12th day of the 12th month. 12/12/12 will go down in history as the beginning of the end of the era of oil.
The Sheik's intention is that this is one part of a plan to prepare for a future beyond the era of oil; extending the economy into new areas and building an infrastructure that will endure after all the oil has been pumped. It is a grand ambition and it is certainly a structure that will dominate the coast for centuries. Industrial archaeologists will write papers on this grand folly of the age of oil, built when the region was awash with cash and $9 billion was a small price pay to have a port to rival any in the world.
The intention is that Port Khalifa (named after the Sheik) will become a major staging post for freight from the Far East to western markets. If the current trend for long supply chains continues, Port Khalifa could become a major hub for world trade; but there is a flaw in this plan. The end of the era of oil will also bring to an end cheap transportation. As sustainability planning takes over, the one-way supply route will become obsolete. Business will no longer operate by manufacturing in China, shipping to Europe, selling, (using for a while) and then junking. New manufacturing will be around the cradle-to-cradle model of truly sustainable manufacturing and supply. It is the design and brands that will be global but physical goods will be much more localised.
I hope that Abu Dhabi will find its place in the world beyond the era of oil, but the Sheik's advisors need to think a little deeper to deliver his vision of navigating a safe path into the future.
Port Khalifa has been opened in style and will stand alongside the pyramids as a memorial to a once rich civilization but it is unlikely to have a future as a port in the new world order.

Good work Briddddddle!!
Nice pics for sure E36 does it for me
Dope rolling shot of my Bora <3.
Yes, Ben has a johnny hanging from the rear. I did have a rubber duck but it broke off when I reversed up my driveway t'other day. Drift charms on a FWD car, ftw.
Was a really good meet, can't wait for another. I know us Lowlife guys have been thinking of doing something like this for a while, and we may do one or two this year.
Awesome work Bridle, keep it up! Love these shots + write up.
those beetles are dope

Lovely shots Daniel.
The E36 is not an M3 unless for some reason they removed the M3 mirrors and fitted standard ones.
Any side ons of that FC? Would love to see those rear wheels.
Nice work brother. Some good fitment going on! Yea, just to add about the e36, a giveaway that it's non m3 is the slatted bumper grille. M3′s run a mesh grille, but you never know it couldve been given the sleeper look and slatted fitted instead!
But anyways, good work man as ever
Sorry, that E46 with the stickerbomb fender and yellow-centered wheels is just terrible. No style whatsoever. The FC is great though.
The FC 35 Mazda Rx-7 Turbo blew my mind. It is a thing of beauty!!
Love the article DB!! That silver Passat is definitely my favorite.
thats a regular 3series, mirrors give it away.
Silver E46 is gorgeous. The blue E36 is so dope, love the writing on the tires but is not an M3. Elephant mirrors.
That's good stuff, DB! And my Dad loves the FC – tell the owner he's got fans across the pond.
great post Bridle.. loving the UK Dubbs… pure euro
I want to be original and say I LOVE something other than the touring E46 but………I LOVE it! Great write up Daniel!!!
Dammit, not sure why my phone is signed into Justin Shreeves account but these last two comments were from me (Joe Ayala). Haha!!
Ok, that was NOT ME! I SO did not say that!!!
Cheers guys it's my E36. Should have realy hung around it more.
Not a M3 but a 328i sport so all the trim ect is all factory.
Im from Milton Keynes, how the hell did i miss this.
Some lovely cars on show there, that R32 is beautifull. some nice bimmers in there as well.
Good pictures man, i hope you enjoyed our city as well, yeah its full of roundabouts but there good for drifting, specialy the peanut down at caldecotte lake.
Great story, That Grey Passat and FC are so dope. Those are some mighty fine fresh McBriddle pictures Daniel!
Love those aircoolers! That e46 wagon is rad!
Great read Daniel, more on that FC3C?? Any links showing different angles?
Nice shots Daniel. Would love to see a feature on that Passat B5. Looked too fresh.
Thanks for the kind words and info everyone! Really appreciate it.
Also I'm really happy that those outside of the UK are liking what were up to on this little island!
look great, i'm loved low riders!!!!!!!!!!!
Oh man, I'm starting to really love air cooled VW's. They always look so good and the vintage accessories they have… AFKLDSJLF.
I've been thinking about throwing a VW-style wooden rack on my 510 wagon… Does anyone have any suggestion for a quality gutter mounted racks? Links or brands would be appreciated!
Hey guys, just saw this, thought id say hi!
i own the silver B6 (not B5) Passat, didnt realise it was on there, great write up!

One cat owner reported her cats "went crazy" when she changed cat food. A long-time breeder who feeds dry kibble said her dogs became hyperactive while gaining weight at the same time. As questions mounted, all seemingly related, I did hours of in-depth research which resulted in some very disturbing answers.
Behavioral problems, particularly aggression and hyperactivity, may be caused by excitotoxins in the food. Behavioral abnormalities have escalated in both humans and animals, from rampant Alzheimer's disease to raging elephants to uncontrollable family pets.
The science of excitotoxicity will amaze you! Many pet foods also contain additives which act as estrogen-blockers and cause frustrating problems for cat and dog breeders.
Estrogen Inhibitor Oils: Many pet foods are now touted as rich in omega 3 oils from wild salmon and other oily fish, along with cruciferous plant substances including flax seeds, oil from flax seeds, broccoli, and rapeseed oil (renamed Canola). Oil from hemp, a cruciferous plant which is 80% fatty acid, is also being sold as a supplement for dogs and cats. All these substances are natural estrogen inhibitors, plus they interfere with thyroid hormone production and with many prescription drugs.
Vitamin D in pet food is just more oil from fish and Vitamin D3 is specifically from Cod Oil which contains especially high levels of vitamin A. The significance? High levels of "A" are known to cause ii Hypervitaminosis A with side effects ranging from skin problems to birth defects.
Cruciferous vegetables, extremely healthy for humans, have been used in hundreds of cancer studies. Since 2004, cancer doctors have been telling patients to add such vegetables to their diets because they are beneficial to overall health and are believed to aid in combating the disease. But controlled studies, such as at the University of Illinois at Urbana, found that extracts of cruciferous vegetables act as anti-estrogen and estrogen agonists. These findings were published in 2000 by the American Chemical Society. Other university studies are available and indications are that over 300 studies with similar results took place.
Mercury: High concentrations of methyl mercury, an organic form of mercury, have been found in omega 3 from fish oils rendered from large, long-lived ocean fish. Mercury is a neurotoxin (as in vaccine-associated autism). Symptoms include vision impairment, lack of coordination and numbness which can lead to seizures and death. High levels are common in wild salmon.
PCBs & Fish Oil: Earlier this year there were lawsuits due to polychlorinated biphenyl compounds (once used in the electrical industry) found in nearly a dozen different fish oil supplements. Just over thirty years ago, the EPA banned PCBs from the USA but this chemical (which causes cancer and reproductive toxicity) is still found in fish from which the oil is extracted.
The Mayo Clinic web site had the following to say about fish oils: "There is evidence from multiple studies supporting intake of recommended amounts of DHA and EPA in the form of dietary fish or fish oil supplements… however, high doses may have harmful effects, such as an increased risk of bleeding."
It should be noted that fish oil, cruciferous plants and excitotoxins from MSG are not included in the AAFCO requirements published in 2008, yet they are added to many pet foods. Pet food manufacturers are just following "health trend hype."
According to researchers, omega 6 found in vegetable oils, including corn and safflower, increase estrogen activity but these oils are also thought to be pro-inflammatory. Canola oil (an estrogen inhibitor) is also believed to be pro-inflammatory.
ii Soybeans have moved into the top ten allergen list in the human population. It is hard to find soybean listed on human food labels as, like MSG, it masquerades under many aliases. It is harder still to pinpoint in cat or dog food list of ingredients. We can however, expect some of these ii Soy Allergy Symptoms to manifest in our pets. In addition, for well over 20 years, soybean in pet food has been linked to bloat (gastic torsion) in dogs. This is not simple gas; torsion is a crisis situation that requires immediate emergency vet care.
Soy protein isolate (ISP) is a source of textured vegetable protein (TVP). That sounds good but soy actually hinders protein digestion and causes red blood cells to stick together interfering with oxygen intake.
In addition to direct allergic reactions, it is widely reported that an alkaline solution is used to remove fibers from the soybeans. Fibers are acid washed in aluminum tanks believed to leach aluminum, a heavy metal that we may be absorbing and ingesting from other sources as well. Aluminum toxicity has a wide range of symptoms including colic, rickets, gastro-intestinal problems, nervousness, anemia, headache, speech problems, memory loss, softening of bones, weak/aching muscles, liver and kidney function decline; the list grows yearly.
You should also be aware that MSG and other flavorings are added to human and pet foods to cover up the soybean taste but labels usually state only "natural flavoring."
Marigold extract is considered a folk remedy for skin conditions which must be why some pet food makers are including it in their recipes even though the Association of American Feed Control Officials (AAFCO) does not consider marigold a nutritional need for cats and dogs.
Marigold extract (calendula) contains lutein. In the human population, lutein supplements can cause a tightening effect on the uterus and are not recommended while breast-feeding. Animal studies indicate that marigold/lutein is toxic to sperm and may adversely affect fertilized eggs. Symptoms of too much lutein include indigestion, chest pain, heartburn, dizziness, blurred vision, eye irritation, skin discoloration, and difficulty swallowing and there may be evidence of renal and liver overload. Marigold's best use is probably as a natural pesticide ingredient!
Dog trainers, therapists and behaviorists are multiplying almost as fast as canine behavioral problems. Even carefully bred, perfectly raised puppies turn into uncontrollable, destructive pets that often wind up at the local shelter. Loving house cats may suddenly exhibit the same behavior. Some veterinarians, at a loss for explanation, blame it on the old standby; genetics. Obviously that does not explain the crossbreds and mutts that are affected.
Excitotoxins: Sounds like a mad scientist made up that name but ii Excitotoxicity isn't new. I knew about the often misdiagnosed side effects in human foods. I wondered, could a wide range of excitotoxins be in cat and dog food and could they cause uncharacteristic out-of-control behavior in dogs and cats? Most of the known adverse effects are related to the human population, presumably because no one has studied this in animals, but I believe the effect on our pets can be even greater.
According to Dr, Russell Blalock (well known neurosurgeon, author, lecturer, and nutritionist), hidden MSG and many other specious ingredients are excitotoxins, which quite literally excite cells to death. Brain studies were in the human population but effects on pets would be more significant due to an animal's lack of inhibition.
MSG – monosodium glutamate: Most people now recognize the risk of MSG in human foods, particularly in "prepared" foods. Many products proudly proclaim "no MSG" on the packaging, but in many cases there is hidden MSG in what the label refers to as "natural flavor". What you may not realize is that monosodium glutamate (MSG) has become common in pet foods and is believed to be mildly addictive to more than the taste buds. Dogs and cats "taste" food through their olfactory senses but they ingest MSG just as we do and can therefore be equally affected.
MSG causes hyperactivity and behavioral aberrations in the human population and while studies have yet to be done, we can extrapolate that to our formerly mild mannered pets.
Once referred to as "hidden MSG" (due to that additive's pseudonyms) the following ingredients were identified by a leading research group as being excitotoxins: gelatin, calcium caseinate, textured protein, sodium caseinate, yeast nutrient, autolyzed yeast, hydrolyzed protein, carrageenan, maltodextrin, malt extract, natural food flavoring, broth, ultra-pasteurized (when containing additives), soy sauce extract, whey protein concentrate, pectin, and anything protein fortified, enzyme modified, or seasoned.
These additives are in everything from soup to ice cream, and increasingly found in dog and cat foods. Since the industry keeps coming up with new names, our best advice is: if you don't know what an ingredient is, research to make sure that it is not hidden MSG.
You may not reduce the risk of cat or dog food additives by using human foods. For example, feeding your pet raw or cooked chicken you buy for your family may not be a good idea. Check the wrapper again. If the chicken contains "broth" it probably contains excitotoxins. Associated Press reports that 30% of US chickens are injected with additives that represent up to 15% of the meat's weight. This process is called "plumping" and it is used to make former "factory farm" laying hens" more marketable. It may also be used simply to tip the scales a bit!
One particular brand, Perdue, uses broth containing "2% or less sea salt, carrageenan, xantham gum, vinegar, and natural flavor." Carrageenan and the natural flavor are the culprits. Natural flavor can be anything from MSG to rosemary (a neurotoxin) to soy (affects estrogen production). In addition, this broth doubles or triples the sodium content. These additives, like many others contained in pet and human food are hidden MSG, now known as excitotoxins.
When several pets have the same personality or health changes occurring at the same time, it is not coincidental. Unless you have moved, installed new carpet, treated the lawn, etc. it is almost certain to be a result of something that should not be in their food. For now, we can only say read the label. It is time for the FDA to do its job and to insist on plain English identification of all food additives whether for human consumption or in pet foods.
Oprah Winfrey exposed the food industry and our addiction to fake foods in her August 2010 show. As Oprah observed "non-fat foods make you FAT!" While her authoritative guests did not go in depth on additives, the message was clear. Today's food supply can be downright harmful to your health.
It would be wise for pet food companies to rethink what they are adding to their products. The cat is out of the bag. This information will be read by a quarter-million pet owners this month. It is going to become harder to market pet food contaminated by unneeded, unwanted, and potentially dangerous ingredients!

Canes blast Duke with 25-1 run
When you are the No.1 ranked team in college basketball, you always have a bullseye on your back and you had better play like it. Duke's second run in the top spot lasted about 48 hours as the Blue Devils were pummeled 90-63 at Miami. It was the third worst loss by a No.1 team ever and the Dukies worst regular season loss since 1984.
Memphis routs Lakers as things get bad to worse
Even a high-tension team meeting couldn't get the Lakers out of their current funk. Wednesday night, the Lakers lost their fourth straight game, seventh straight road game and 10th in their last 12 games overall, a 106-93 drubbing at Memphis. The Grizz, who hadn't scored more than 85 points in six straight games posted 106 Wednesday to improve to 12-0 when they hit the century mark. Darrell Arthur came off the pine to lead Memphis with 20 points becoming the 29th player this year to have his season high against the Lakers.
NFL News and Notes
The NFL fashion police were at work on Wednesday fining the 49ers Frank Gore $10,500 for wearing his socks too low in the NFC Championship game. The socks eveidently didn't affect Gore on the foeld as he rushed for 90 yards on 21 carries with two touchdowns.
Tom Brady was fined $10K by the league for his kick slide on Ed Reed in the AFC Championship game. Brady called Reed during the week to apologize and things are all good. FYI, a 10K fine to a guy making $14 million a year is the equivalent of a $36 dollar fine to a guy making $50,000 a year.
The family of Junior Seau filed a wrongful death lawsuit Wednesday in California Superior Court in San Diego, blaming the NFL for its "acts or omissions" that hid the dangers of repetitive blows to the head. It says Seau developed chronic traumatic encephalopathy (CTE) from those hits, and accuses the NFL of deliberately ignoring and concealing evidence of the risks associated with traumatic brain injuries. Seau died at age 43 of a self-inflicted gunshot in May. He was diagnosed with CTE, based on posthumous tests, earlier this month.
The Jets are said to be exploring their options to deal Darrelle Revis. The star shut down corner is coming off ACL surgery and set to make $6 million dollars this year and cannot be franchised be franchised in 2014.

[Slocum & Cahoon A8]
On 30 October 1904, James and Nora Joyce moved on to Pola, Austria, where Joyce had printed his satirical broadside aimed at Yeats and George Russell, The Holy Office. With the successful publication of his verses and short stories in periodicals, Joyce approached the London publisher Grant Richards on 15 October 1905 with a collection of stories he called Dubliners. Joyce composed these original twelve stories in less than a year and a half, but it would take him nearly ten years to get them published. Joyce signed and inscribed this copy of Dubliners : "To | an unknown and generous friend in | gratitude for a munificent | gift | James Joyce | Zurich: Switzerland | 26 March 1917."
The New Freewoman, London (15 June–1 December 1913). 15 October 1913. (86K)
The Egoist: An Individualist Review: formerly The New Freewoman, London (January 1914–December 1919). "A Portrait of the Artist as a Young Man," (15 July 1914) Vol. 1: No. 14, pp. 273-74. (81K)
Founded in 1911, Dora Marsden and Mary Gawthorpe's paper, The Freewoman: A Weekly Feminist Review, was attacked for being immoral from the start. In time Marsden extended the review's focus from suffrage to debates on wider social issues. By October 1912, Harriet Shaw Weaver rescued the review from financial ruin, for the first time; and by June 1913 it had to be reconstituted as The New Freewoman, with Weaver as the principal shareholder. The New Freewoman described its editorial mission as a "doctrine of philosophical individualism." Rebecca West had contributed book reviews to The Freewoman and now became regular contributor to The New Freewoman and soon afterwards its assistant editor.
West introduced Ezra Pound, who was then the foreign correspondent for Poetry, to Marsden and Weaver, and he took the initiative in shaping the literary focus of the review. The list of contributors Pound brought to the review was formidable: Richard Aldington, H.D., Ford Madox Hueffer, F.S. Flint, and William Carlos Williams. Nonetheless, Pound's ability, taste and character prompted West's departure and the appointment of Aldington to the post of assistant editor. On 23 December 1913, The New Freewoman became the more famous The Egoist. Pound's influence on the review was obvious as he continued to "discover" new writers and artists, just as subsequent assistant editors, Aldington, H.D. and T.S. Eliot would in turn. Although The Egoist could not pay their contributors, it gave some of the American poets European exposure. Most of the Imagists that appeared in The Egoist had already published their work for payment in Poetry. Pound contacted Joyce immediately with the prospect of getting A Portrait of the Artist as a Young Man serialized in The Egoist. In the second issue, 15 January 1914, Pound relayed Joyce's account of Dubliners' publishing difficulties, with the title "A Curious History," and the third issue, which happened to appear on 2 February, contained the first installment of A Portrait. It ran serially in The Egoist in twenty-five installments from 2 February 1914–1 September 1915 (Vol. I, No. 3–Vol. II, No.9), except for Vol. I, Nos. 18–22 and Vol. II, No. 5.
Marsden remained editor of The Egoist for another six months, but then the responsibility fell to Weaver, who until then had been the review's business manager. The Egoist maintained the exact physical layout of The Freewoman and The New Freewoman, which were more overtly political journals, even though more than half of its content now featured contemporary poetry and literature. From this perspective, The Egoist presented literature as a vehicle of social and political critique and change on par with its political, philosophical and economic commentary. By 1918, The Egoist had become a monthly review, and although Weaver reduced the number of pages by a fourth, she still had trouble issuing the magazine. Nonetheless, having successfully serialized A Portrait, Weaver ventured to publish Ulysses simultaneously with The Little Review (item 27).

Joyce signed and inscribed this copy to his patron, whom he did not yet realize was also the publisher of this, the first English edition of A Portrait: "To | an unknown and | generous friend in | token of gratitude for | a munificent | gift | James Joyce | Zurich: Switzerland | 26 March 1917." Weaver has laid in "Extracts from some Press Notices of Portrait…" (item 20).
Harriet Shaw Weaver was born in Frodsham, Cheshire, England in 1876. She was a socialist activist, suffragist, editor and publisher. Her patronage of Joyce, the artist and the man, began in 1914 and endured long after his death as Weaver acted as literary executrix and administrator of the Joyce Estate. Weaver passed away on 14 October 1961.
EXTRACTS FROM SOME PRESS NOTICES | OF | A Portrait of the Artist | as a Young Man | By JAMES JOYCE. | THE EGOIST PRESS : LONDON : 1916 : 23, Adelphi Terrace house, 2, Robert Street, W.C. 2. | Price 6/- net : by post, 6/4. (19.3M)

As a publisher and patron, Weaver subscribed to several news clipping agencies in Paris, London, and New York including Argus, Durrants, and Romieke & Curtis. By instructing the agencies to cut any article that mentioned Joyce's name or works, Weaver built an impressive collection of contemporary critical opinion. It was a useful advertising resource then and is a scholarly one now. Joyce, Weaver, and Beach (and later Paul Léon) circulated these articles among themselves and among Joyce's other friends and colleagues. To increase public interest in Joyce's work in anticipation of Ulysses, they inserted this leaflet of reviews of the Egoist publication of A Portrait into the first order form for the Shakespeare and Company edition of Ulysses (item 30; figure 9). These English, American, French, Irish, Italian, German, Greek, Swiss, Dutch and Belgian reviews date from February 1917 to January 1918. Pound's declaration heads the list: "James Joyce produces the nearest thing to Flaubertian prose that we have now in English." This is Weaver's copy laid in her Egoist Press edition of A Portrait of the Artist as a Young Man (item 18).

Not only did Weaver publish Joyce, but her Egoist Press issued first editions of Tarr by Wyndham Lewis, Prufrock by T.S. Eliot, and Quia Pauper Amavi by Ezra Pound, all of which are advertised here. Though short-lived, The Egoist Press had a significant impact on modernist letters, and brought the works of H.D., Robert McAlmon, Dora Marsden, Richard Aldington, and Marianne Moore to the English public, often for the first time.

In later years, Joyce insisted that the translations of his prose works had to follow the order in which they had been published originally: Dubliners, A Portrait and only then Ulysses. But the situation with the French translations was different. One of the first things Joyce did when he arrived in Paris was try to get A Portrait translated and published. La Sirène published Ludmila Bloch-Savitzky's translation of that work on 22 March 1924, although the contract was signed almost four years earlier on 11 August 1920. Similarly, Joyce signed a contract with Librarie Plon in July 1923 for Dubliners but the publication of Gens de Dublin was delayed for almost four years. Nonetheless, just after the first edition of Ulysses appeared, several of Fernandez's translations came out in Swiss and French journals: "Un Incident Régrettable" in Le Revue de Genève (March 1922) and "Un Petit Nuage" in Les Écrits Nouveaux (December 1922). As was also the case with Savitzky, the Joyce, Fernandez and Du Bos families were all friends. Joyce received only 1,250 Francs and just 5 copies of the Librarie Plon edition, one of which "Jacques le Joyeux" presented to Weaver several months later.

Joyce signed and inscribed this copy of Vico's treatise to Weaver when she visited him in Paris in the autumn of 1924: "ad | Harriet Weaver | questo libriccino in segno | di sua grande riconoscenza |James Joyce | Parigi | li [sic] 17 Sbre 1924." In December, after Weaver had returned to Frodsham, she began to read the Scienza Nuova and soon received another gift from Joyce, a new edition of Victor Bérard's L'Odyssée Poésie Homérique. Where Weaver may have found the Odyssey an aid to reading Ulysses, readers of "Work in Progress" and Finnegans Wake have found the allusion to Vico more obscure. Indeed Joyce claimed later that he did not pay undue attention to the theories of Vico (or those of Bruno, whose work Joyce had also recommended to Weaver).

Created by | Joss Whedon, Jane Espenson |
Portrayed by | Adam Busch |

Affiliation | Trio, Amy Madison |
Classification | Technology expert |
Notable powers | A genius-level intellect, especially in the fields of technology and robotics |
Warren Mears is a fictional character that is portrayed by Adam Busch in the American television series Buffy the Vampire Slayer. The character also appears in canonical comic book series continuation of that series. He is the main antagonist in season six, until Willow turns to her dark side.
Warren's first appearance is in the Season Five episode "I Was Made to Love You" (2001) when a sex robot he built, April (Shonda Farr) goes on the loose in Sunnydale. After Warren falls for a real girl (in Dutton), Katrina Silber (Amelinda Embry), he leaves April to run out of batteries and die. That episode's exposition establishes that Warren briefly attended Sunnydale High with the show's main character before transferring. April attacks Slayer Buffy Summers (Sarah Michelle Gellar) out of jealousy for Warren, but dies shortly thereafter. At the end of the episode, the vampire Spike commissions Warren to build him a Buffy robot; Warren delivers it to him in "Intervention".
In Season Six, Warren is re-introduced in "Flooded" (2001), having become leader of "the Trio," a gang of self-styled genius supervillains who attended Sunnydale High. Along with sorcerer Jonathan (Danny Strong) and demon-summoner Andrew (Tom Lenk), he plans to eliminate Buffy. They are a nuisance to Buffy; they plague her with a time loop in "Life Serial" and freeze rays in "Smashed", and turn Buffy invisible in "Gone". Warren tries to use technology in "Dead Things" to force Katrina to sleep with him against her will; when she snaps out of the trance, she accuses him of rape and threatens to go the police. Panicked, he kills her and tries to make Buffy believe she committed the crime. In "Normal Again", they make Buffy believe her whole life is a mental patient's delusion. In "Seeing Red", Warren tries to acquire mystical orbs to give him superhuman strength to rival Buffy; when she foils him yet again, he shows up at her house with a gun and shoots her, with a stray bullet accidentally killing Tara (Amber Benson). In "Villains", Buffy recovers due to the magical abilities of Tara's girlfriend, Willow (Alyson Hannigan), who then seeks revenge on Warren. When Willow attacks and defeats him with black magic, he begs for his life. After realizing that Tara wasn't his first victim, confirmed by an apparition of Katrina, Willow flays him alive.
Warren reappears in the Season Seven première episode, "Lessons" (2002) as an apparition of the First Evil (a primordial evil entity), taunting Spike. The First assumes this form again in "Never Leave Me" and "Conversations with Dead People" as a means of manipulating Andrew. In the episode "The Killer in Me", a repentant and good-once-more Willow begins to take on Warren's appearance and personality after kissing Kennedy (Iyari Limon). She later discovers that it is the result of a curse from her former friend Amy (Elizabeth Anne Allen), who tells Willow that her own subconscious chose the punishment; kissing Kennedy triggered the transformation because of Tara's memory, and moving on from her grief helps her revert to normal. Warren appears one last time in "Storyteller", in which Andrew re-imagines the circumstances of his friendship with Warren in the course of his storytelling.
Warren appears in the canonical comic book continuation of Buffy, as a surprise reveal in the final panel of an issue of Buffy the Vampire Slayer Season Eight. In "The Long Way Home, Part Three" (2007), Warren is revealed to be the "boyfriend" that Amy had been living with beneath the Hellmouth following the collapse of Sunnydale in the television series finale. In Part Four of "The Long Way Home", he reveals the means of his survival. Amy saved Warren's life and suspended his life with her magical powers. In penciller Georges Jeanty's interior artwork, Warren is depicted as skinless, as in his last on-screen moments in "Villains". Warren bears a considerable grudge against both Willow and Buffy. Though he lobotomizes a captive Willow, she is rescued by Buffy and Japanese Slayer Satsu on a rescue mission; Warren escapes by teleporting away with Amy. With regards to the continuity issue of the First Evil impersonating dead people, and Warren being "saved" by Amy, Whedon clarified in the Letters column of a later issue by stating that Warren had been legally dead for "like a second".[1] In "Time of Your Life, Part One" (2008), serving under series' villain Twilight, Amy and Warren attack Buffy's Scottish citadel with a missile and spectral warriors, killing seven Slayers. In the "Retreat" (2009) story arc, Warren and Amy assist Twilight in tracking Buffy and Willow's movements through their use of magic, forcing the group into hiding in Tibet, where they learn to suppress their abilities, leading to an all-out brawl between Twilight's military forces and Buffy's depowered Slayers. Later, in "Twilight" (2010), Warren discovers he has been working for Angel, Buffy's ex-boyfriend, and Twilight's true identity. When extra-dimensional demons start pouring in, Warren and Andrew (now Buffy's trusted associate) squabble over who gets ownership of a geeky composite superhero defensive armor (working replicas of Iron Man's glove, the Punisher's vest, Batman's utility belt, Captain America's shield, a Star Trek tricorder and a Star Wars X-wing helmet). After Andrew takes a severe injury, Warren is left to protect him (and shows genuine concern for Andrew) using the Iron Man repulsors. Later, once Spike arrives, he and Amy are taken as prisoners aboard Spike's ship; they escape, however, when the ship arrives in Sunnydale. In the final arc, in "Last Gleaming, Part IV", Buffy destroys the Seed of Wonder and thereby dispels all magic from the universe. Warren is with Amy at a cafe away from the fray in Sunnydale when the spell that replicates his skin ends. He turns to a pile of blood and bones before Amy's eyes.
Powers and abilities[edit]
Although Warren displays no independent supernatural powers, he does possess a genius-level intellect, especially in the fields of technology and robotics. He is capable of building highly advanced robots which look like and can pass for ordinary humans, though their mannerisms and speech patterns are imperfect by human standards. The Buffybot he built successfully masqueraded as Buffy Summers for several weeks while the real Slayer was dead, in addition to fooling Buffy's friends and family into believing that it was the real deal, and a robotic duplicate of himself easily fooled Willow, even with her mystical tracking abilities. Some of his other creations include a freeze ray, a small microchip capable of slowing and speeding up time, and at least two jet packs (cf. "Seeing Red"). Other items which were fused with magic and technology, included an invisibility ray with a magic diamond (cf. "Gone"); and a cerebral dampener, which strips the will of any female within its range, rendering her a slave; In Season Eight, he also displays enough knowledge of biology to perform a lobotomy (cf. "The Long Way Home, Part Four").
In Season Six's "Seeing Red", Warren gains the power of the Orbs of Nezzla'khan, two orbs which grant him superhuman strength and invulnerability, respectively. In this state, he is more than a physical match for Buffy and overpowers her, until Jonathan reveals the source of his power to her. During this time Warren doesn't display any particular affinity for martial arts as Buffy does, instead relying on brute power.
Actor Adam Busch claims that he doesn't see Warren as simply a villain or purely evil person. He explains that the character has various flaws and positives, and is always given the chance to redeem himself. "He's always given that moment where he can do the right thing that he never ever does," says Busch. "Because he is flawed and he does have a lot of issues and an inability to communicate or talk to anyone or really explain what it is that he wants." Writer Jane Espenson draws comparisons between the characters of Buffy and Warren, claiming, "When Buffy's talking with Warren about his break-up with April, she's actually identifying with him, because she did a lot of the same stuff with Riley that he did with April." Warren has, on multiple occasions displayed misogynistic tendencies seen clearest in 'Seeing Red' and other episodes[2]
Romantic interests[edit]
- April: Lonely, Warren built the robot April to be the perfect girlfriend, but eventually grows bored of her, abandoning her rather than dumping her face-to-face. Despite her pleasant and cheerfully optimistic nature, April is dangerously loyal to Warren and physically attacks anybody who came between them, including Spike, Buffy, and Katrina. April is designed with the ability to growl and included several fetish programs (as seen in her POV), along with other details, such as an inability to cry.
- Katrina Silber: Has at least one sibling mentioned in "I Was Made to Love You", a sister. Warren is found to be in a relationship with Katrina in the Season Five episode "I Was Made to Love You". Although seemingly happy at first, Katrina grows more and more suspicious of her boyfriend throughout the episode, only to discover his robot-girlfriend, April. This discovery repulses her, resulting in their immediate break-up. In "Dead Things" Warren tries to have sex with her while she is under the influence of a mind-control spell. When Katrina fights back Warren smashes her head in with a glass bottle.
- Amy Madison: In the Season Eight comics, Warren reveals that he had been with Amy since she saved his life offscreen in the Season Six episode, "Villains". Amy refers to him as her boyfriend on several occasions and addresses him as "sweetie".

Resilient Structures Play Vital Role in Achieving Sustainable Communities
The Department of Homeland Security Science and Technology Directorate, National Institute of Building Sciences, National Building Museum and the Concrete Joint Sustainability Initiative will host a free, interactive Resilient Buildings Workshop this fall to promote the importance of creating and maintaining resilient, high performance structures.
When: Thursday, October 18, 2012, 8:30 a.m. to 4 p.m. EDT
Where: the National Building Museum, 401 F Street, NW, Washington, D.C.
The workshop is a joint effort between the public and private sectors of the building/construction industry, designed to educate building professionals on the vital role of resilient, high performance structures in achieving sustainable communities. Several of the most knowledgeable professionals in the field of structural resilience and sustainability will present at this interactive workshop.
Topics of these presentations will include:
- Cutting-edge tools and resources available to help achieve high performance and resilience, including the Integrated Rapid Visual Screening for Buildings tool and the Owner Project Performance Requirements tool
- Building materials as they relate to high performance building enclosures
- Resilience as a critical component in sustainable design
- Assessing a building's capability to withstand natural and man-made hazard events
- High performance design and the role of Life Cycle Assessments
- The role of building codes and standards in achieving resilient building enclosures and structures
Speakers will include:
- Blaine Brownell, Professor of Sustainable Design, University of Minnesota
- Mohammed Ettouney, Principal, Weidlinger Associates
- Roger Grant, Program Director, National Institute of Building Sciences
- Henry Green, President, National Institute of Building Sciences
- Earle Kennett, Chief Operating Officer, National Institute of Building Sciences
- Mila Kennett, Program Manager, Department of Homeland Security Science and Technology Directorate
- Lionel Lemay, Senior Vice President of Sustainable Development, National Ready Mixed Concrete Association
- Terry Ryan, Program Manager, Raytheon UTD
- John Sullivan, President & Consultant, JJSFIM Consulting
In addition to presentations from the nation's top experts in the field, attendees will have the opportunity to ask questions and participate in an interactive breakout session on the workshop topics.
"Natural and man-made hazards are constant threats to our communities and infrastructure systems in the U.S., and these issues facing our built environment have led the research community to look at the use of alternative materials to increase resilience and durability in our structures," said Mila Kennett, Science and Technology Program Manager for the Department of Homeland Security. "This workshop will introduce and help communicate and promote the adoption of new, advanced, high performance standards, materials and technologies that have been developed by the building industry and research institutions."
Sponsoring the workshop is the Concrete Joint Sustainability Initiative (Concrete JSI), which is currently leading the efforts in the concrete industry to promote the creation and maintenance of more resilient and durable communities. It comprises 28 national and international concrete-related organizations committed to working together with the goal of educating themselves, their members, and their customers about the role and responsibilities of concrete in sustainable development.

Fashion + Style Friday: Pop-up clothing sale at Clementine and Capitol Hill's sugary new shop
PHOTO CREDIT: http://www.shopolivine.com
As you might expect, our resident stylist Hope Misterek (who styles fashion features for Seattle Bride magazine, as well as pitching at Seattle) has pretty enviable wardrobe. Lucky for us, she's cleaning in house and will sell off her designer duds at Clementine in West Seattle over the next two weeks. Starting today, rummage through over 200 pieces from the likes of Vivienne Tam and Marc Jacobs. Prices run from $20-$200.
Hope also lent her style eye this week to local fashionzine On This Day in Fashion, recapping New York Fashion Week shows. Get caught up on the latest fall fashions from Halston, Tibi, Alice + Olive and more.
Maybe it's because they're surrounded by some of the coolest shops in the city, but usually it takes a pretty unique shop for Hillsters to get up in arms. Sweet little SugarPill Apothecary has been open for a grand total of 8 days, and already the myriad of Yelp reviews, comments and tweets are insanely positive, glowing reports on the selection of fleck salts and spices, chocolate bitters, soaps and cards. I think it goes without saying, but it passed the Capitol Hill cool test with flying colors, so a trip to the apothecary seems to be order.
I retired my last headband in the 7th grade, but after spotting these sweet and chic headbands on Olivine by Prize, I'm reconsidering the retirement plan. Hey, Brett Favre can un-retire approximately nine times, I'm using the same philosophy to bring back the band. Join me, won't you?

The legislated Highlands boundaries for water protection were wrong in Warren County from the start. Trenton officials placed Warren's water resources in the planning area, making them more vulnerable to destruction than ever before. Designations for critical waterways in Warren were removed by the governor and the Department of Environmental Protection, particularly in the nationally significant Pequest Watershed. DEP water protection policies continue to be at odds with federal recommendations critical to water supply. The final product of the Highlands Council doesn't protect water in Warren.
The council staff took great pains in laying down comprehensive and correct science, revealing 114 watersheds in deficit throughout the region. With the musical chairs in council appointments came a shift in policy development. Previously sound policies morphed to policies rife with loopholes. With errors by legislators, withholding of critical waterway designations and loopholes that ignore watershed science, New Jersey water is no more protected than it was before the Highlands law. What could have been made equitable is again good only for the few. Gov. Jon Corzine should reject the Highlands plan and insist on a plan that protects water throughout all Highlands counties.

Gledhill, Duke (2009) 3D Panoramic Imaging for Virtual Environment Construction. Doctoral thesis, University of Huddersfield.
| PDF - Accepted Version Available under License Creative Commons Attribution Non-commercial No Derivatives. Download (4MB) | Preview |
The project is concerned with the development of algorithms for the creation of photo-realistic 3D virtual environments, overcoming problems in mosaicing, colour and lighting changes, correspondence search speed and correspondence errors due to lack of surface texture.
A number of related new algorithms have been investigated for image stitching, content based colour correction and efficient 3D surface reconstruction. All of the investigations were undertaken by using multiple views from normal digital cameras, web cameras and a "one-shot" panoramic system. In the process of 3D reconstruction a new interest points based mosaicing method, a new interest points based colour correction method, a new hybrid feature and area based correspondence constraint
and a new structured light based 3D reconstruction method have been investigated.
The major contributions and results can be summarised as follows:
• A new interest point based image stitching method has been proposed and investigated.
The robustness of interest points has been tested and evaluated. Interest points have been proved robust to changes in lighting, viewpoint, rotation
and scale.
• A new interest point based method for colour correction has been proposed and investigated. The results of linear and linear plus affine colour transforms have proved more accurate than traditional diagonal transforms in accurately
matching colours in panoramic images.
• A new structured light based method for correspondence point based 3D reconstruction
has been proposed and investigated. The method has been proved to increase the accuracy of the correspondence search for areas with low texture.
Correspondence speed has also been increased with a new hybrid feature and area based correspondence search constraint.
• Based on the investigation, a software framework has been developed for image based 3D virtual environment construction. The GUI includes abilities for importing images, colour correction, mosaicing, 3D surface reconstruction, texture recovery and visualisation.
• 11 research papers have been published.

This cat is definetly boy's best friend. A father posted the dramatic video from a dog attacking his son in their front yard, and the family cat intervening before the dog could do further damage.
A money-saving experiment by a few Minnesota school districts that switched to four-day school weeks is coming to a close because of academic performance concerns.
There is a new project being launched that focuses on women, moms and kids riding bike in Minnesota, and they are looking for 5 to 7 Ambassadors. Are you interested?
The story about 8-year-old Anna Cymbaluk from Fosston, Minnesota has been shared all over social media. Sarah Cymbaluk posted a video of her 8-year-old daughter, Anna, describing bullies on the school bus with her brother, 7-year-old Benjamin.
John Krasinski officially introduced his and Emily Blunt's daughter to the public by sharing the very first photo of adorable Hazel on Twitter.

YOU turn me on!
Chilling out in my favourite polo this evening, reading your comments and requests. An impromptu film of me.. with you on xtube.... This is the natural Rasha.. spontaneous - no plan, prep.. just turned on! Hope you enjoy.. no music as requested ;-) P.S - I am not really into promoting my vids.. but...if you think others would like this vid too.. how about pressing the 'FEATURE THIS VIDEO' button so that it is included in the featured vids on the 'Home page'?
Top Comment
All Comments
Just spent an hour edging to your videos, seeing you slowly get worked up put me over the top
anyone who likes this vid and understnds the turn-on watching it may sympathise with my predicament in the attached tribute - just can't control it!!
pictures say more than words
of all your views on this vid i think i can account for at least 100 of them.... thanks so hot
Wonderfull. So, now YOU turn me/all of us on.
Just a great view and and beautiful body. whats a nice turn on, than seeing a sexy girl get herselfe wet and ready ;-)
First of all, you are totally gorgeous and your legs are divine. Very sexy as always. Thanks!
This is such a hot video. Nothin' better that watchin a fine lookin woman like yourself casually get off on the naughty things we say to you. Watchin you play with yourself, possibly you doin this as you reading this gets my cock all hard and me stroking it... just thinking of how your luscious body might taste and feel if I could get the chance to bathe you with my tongue, mouth and hands!
I have never been so turned on by a video as much as this one.. its the living fantasy of every man I believe to picture a woman behind her computer like this when he is not around.. its so erotic and such a treat. I could not help but stroke myself and cum all over my stomach watching you.. my fantasies have come true!
Hi Rasha
There's something about the way you slowly pull away your panties to reveal your gorgeous pussy that makes me almost explode. It's possibly the sexiest thing I've ever seen! I feel like i've struck gold discovering your video collection as every one is incredible.
You are so stunningly attractive, have a perfect body and seeing you get all turned on and slipping those slender fingers into yourself is just mind blowing.
Love and kisses
Shrinking Moo
Brave woman.. love the moans ^_^: and hair and legs and.. well you just have a gorgeously feminine figure anyway...
Knowing that you are real and actually surf xtube... just makes me cum 10x harder.
Just gorgeous. Posted a vid, first one ... next time, will be one of me watching your vid here ... guaranteed to be ... very ... wet.

Released: Mar 01st, 2005
Running Time: 73
Company: Don Goo Enterprises
Taylor (I), Kyla Young, Angelina West, Heidi (I)
Critical Rating: AAA
Genre: All-Sex
Stock it with your lesbian-themed videos.
For a snatch-centric video, the title is fantastic, but the 'likor' theme is beat to death. Booze and bottles of the hard stuff play a prominent part in several scenes to the point of being really cheesy. Some of the interactions seem forced, and most of the performers look like '80s throwbacks. Kitsch is OK, but it just doesn't work here.
In the intro scene, Kyla and Taylor are sharing a bottle of wine and a tender lesbo-erotic moment. The scene cuts to Angelina behind a bar wearing Lucite high heels a micro mini. She plays with her pussy lips and panties, carefully fingering her moist self. She twists and bends and plays.
Also, some hetero action, but it's minimal.

People on Sheares Bridge in front of the two durians bidding farewell to LKY. It was a very wet day.
Buffer stock for HDB
Today's ST editorial suggested that HDB build a buffer stock to meet contigency demands of flat buyers. I hope no one is going to reply that once there was a 30,000 stock of unsold flats and very costly. And I hope that no one would comment that last year they sold so few flats and sufferred a deficit of $2b, so if sell more and build buffer stocks, the deficit will be even greater.
The idea of a small buffer stock is elementary, and no one needs to teach super talents about this. It is only whether there is an intent to want to do it. Who doesn't know that having a small surplus will shorten the waiting time and become very handy and expedient for those who need flats urgently?
Like I said earlier, there are many things that can be done to help the people who need flats urgently. The current system is shitty at best.
2 comments:
The current system is shitty at best, but good for the kitty.
Why did they not retain the old system? It is good for the people, but bad for the HDB.
So, the suggestion of a buffer stock will fall on deaf ears, no question about that. - March 10, 2010 2:48 pm
The day of reckoning is coming'
the End is near. - March 10, 2010 8:37 pm

This ethnographic study, which includes participant observation research and in-depth interviews with police officers in a major California city and a large East Coast city, explores how police officers use their discretionary time on the job—and the consequences. Providing highly textured insights into police discretion, the authors show that America's "tough on crime" approach to justice has too often proved to be a smoke screen for controlling people deemed undesirable, rather than a genuinely effective strategy for reducing crime.
