Cell Editor Prototype
Jan 13, 2010 Demo 45 commentsThis is the earliest version of our cell editor. Enjoy and comment!
Thrive's goal is to encapsulate the player in the wonders of the universe, and to allow them to manipulate the virtual world around them in any way they please. Our game will contain multiple editors where players can create and modify technology, culture, organisms, and entire solar systems.
When a player tires of creation, or wishes to test what they have made, they can move on to actually playing the game, and experience the evolutionary progression of a species from a eukaryotic single cell to a thriving civilization. At any point in the game, a player can play as a single organism and experience the world through their senses. Later, as organisms group together, the player can move into an RTS-style play where they command several units at once- from a few footsoldiers to fleets of starhips.
Along the way from cities to colonized planets and beyond, special tools will be discovered by your species. These "God Tools" allow for easy manipulation of entities within the game- merging together the editors and gameplay to allow the player to reshape their universe from within.
If you would like to be part of this incredible project , and can donate any amount of time at all, we are actively seeking the following:
- Graphic Artists
- 3D Artists
- Legal Advisors
- Software Developers (Games)
- Scientific Advisors
- Composer (Soundtracks)
- Sound Effects Engineer
- Promoters
- People with cool ideas and visions for the biggest game ever conceived!
If you are at all interested in contributing, please go to our Development Forums. REMEMBER that we are a FreeWare and OpenSource project, and that because of the revolutionary nature and monumental scale of the project, this game will not be completed for some time. We're all looking forward to having your help!
You can keep up with Thrive development on Facebook.

Ok guys and gals! This is the final product of my most recent upload. I've been listening to a lot of the UK band "Tesseract". I love the way they use a massive amount of reverb on certain parts and create this groovy/spacey ambient feel. I was kind of going for something like that in the middle section but nothing too crazy. Overall, I'm happy with the song and mix. I hope you all dig my tune and be sure to check out my youtube channel too! Some new subs would be nice! :D

Thanks for listening!
Rated 5 / 5 stars
so sick man, fucking class!!! Please can you give me some feedback on mine? loving the TOOOONES!!! I can't even use drum tracks :L had to invest in mics to get drums done haha
Rated 5 / 5 stars
It's been a while since I've listened to your shit, but as always you never fail to please. This is fucking phenomenal. Heavy as hell, badass as hell, and a nice cure for anger if the need ever arises. This is gold. Pure, 100%, 24-karat motherfucking gold.
Thanks dude!!
Rated 5 / 5 stars
6 stars if I could. This is one of the most motherfucking heaviest metal songs I've ever heard on Newgrounds, those odd time signatures give the song a very Djent feel. The tone is really fucking heavy too, how many tracks do you record to get such a tone? Great song, I'll be sure to check out more of your stuff, I enjoyed! Great harmonies and leads too! \m/
Thanks dude! As for my tone and how I record them. I use my podHD and just record each rhythm on a single track and pan them a hard left and a hard right. Thanks for listening!
Rated 5 / 5 stars
and another great song by metaljonus. great an. i love your work, and i always will!
Thanks! \m/
Rated 4.5 / 5 stars
I simply ADORE this! Love the riffs, and the drums are killer. However, i think that a double bass would be a better percussion tool, hence there are shreddings both at the beginning, and at the end of the song.
May you never fall down, may you always slay the dawn!
Thanks dude. But too much double bass would just kill the vibe going with this track. It has some DB but that's all its getting! lol Thanks for listening!

Haynesworth Crash Victim Now Wheelchair Bound
Albert Haynesworth, who just signed a $100 bazillion contract with the Redskins (that's adjusted to be relative to the amount of money everyone else has right now), has literally hit a bump in the road. Unfortunately, that bump is Corey Edmonson, a guy who Haynesworth ran off the road in December. Al's black Ferrari clipped Edmonson's car, causing it to careen into a concrete barrier.
And even though Haynesworth has been indicted on two misdemeanor charges (one of which carries a maximum penalty of six months in jail), it appears as if he's going to get off fairly light, considering that just four days before the accident he was cited for driving 103 in a 70 zone. And, when you consider what the victim of the accident is going through right now, it makes Haynesworth's financial windfall (courtesy of Daniel Snyder) seem all that much more disgusting.

Hello Chuck,
The demo.pligg.com is already with the 2.0.1 Pligg version? Becauve I've realized (if I'm not wrong) that the sort by categories is still not working properly. If you open http://demo.pligg.com/upvoted/finance/ you'll be able to see that it's sorting the stories by ALL categories, not just by the Finance category.
I find that /story/###/edit/ or editlink.php loads very slowly and needs php memory resources to be set very high to load at all. All other pages load fast. What can I do to fix this?
I have SMTP working as per the instructions here:
The Forgotten Password request, however, doesn't work and throws out the error "Message Delivery Failure!" Sending a user a randomly generated password from the admin url below also doesn't work.
I have read that this may be due to the "forgotten password" part of the script using the "mail() function". If this is the case, how can I edit the script to send this using SMTP?
Thank you.
Are there any plans to update Pligg to either PDO or MySQLi ?
I have installed the last pligg version and configured friendly urls, but the trackback is not working.
Could anyone help me?

Have questions? Call (800) 615-3055 to speak to a cancer information specialist.Or we can call you.
Surgery is used to diagnose, stage and treat cancer, and to manage certain cancer-related symptoms. At Cancer Treatment Centers of America® (CTCA), our experienced surgeons have performed thousands of procedures and will discuss the surgical options that are best suited to your individual needs.
Whether a patient is a candidate for surgery or not depends on factors such as the type, size, location, grade and stage of the tumor, as well as general health factors such as age, physical fitness and other coexisting medical conditions the patient may have.
For many patients, surgery will be combined with other cancer treatments, such as chemotherapy, radiation therapy or hormone therapy. These nonsurgical treatments may be administered before surgery (neoadjuvant therapy) or after surgery (adjuvant therapy) to help prevent cancer growth, spread or recurrence.
Early in the treatment planning process, we plan for and proactively manage anticipated side effects from surgery. Our nutritionists, rehabilitation therapists and naturopathic clinicians work together with your surgical oncologist to support healing and quality of life. Our reconstructive surgeons perform procedures to restore the body's appearance and function when needed, at the time of surgery or following surgery.
Surgery is a treatment option for early-stage anal cancer, particularly stage 0, as well as some stage I and II anal cancers. You and your medical oncologist would discuss the pros and cons of surgery before deciding if it's an appropriate option for you. There are two surgical procedures for anal cancer, depending on the type and location of the tumor:
Local resection
Local resection treats cancers of the anal margin. Local resection may be an option for early stage anal cancer that has not spread to the lymph nodes or surrounding tissue. It is mainly used to remove small tumors not involving the sphincter. During the procedure, your surgeon would remove the tumor and a small amount of surrounding normal tissue. The sphincter is left intact to allow for normal bowel movements after surgery. Chemotherapy and radiation therapy may follow the surgery.
Abdominoperineal resection
Abdominaoperineal resection removes the anus and anal sphincter. This type of procedure may be an option if the cancer does not respond to other treatments or if the cancer recurs. Your surgeon would make incisions into the abdomen and around the anus to remove the anus and rectum. Then, your surgeon would create a new opening to allow for the passage of stool from the body. It's possible that your surgeon may perform a lymph node dissection to remove some lymph nodes in the groins, though this procedure may be done later.

Catadioptric system with a gradient-index corrector plate
JOSA, Vol. 67, Issue 9, pp. 1143-1146 (1977)
Acrobat PDF (453 KB)
Sands showed the equivalence of the third-order aspheric surface contribution of the aberration polynomial to the third-order inhomogenous surface contribution. This fact is exemplified by the substitution of an axial gradient for the aspheric surface of the Schmidt corrector plate. It is shown that a gradient-index corrector plate system is limited in its off-axis performance by conventional Schmidt system is.

NuGEN Announces Launch of WT-Ovation(TM) RNA Amplification System; Enables Analysis Across the Entire Transcriptome Without 3' Bias.
SAN CARLOS, Calif. -- Built on NuGEN's Proprietary Ribo-SPIA(TM) Technology to Achieve Linear Amplification of mRNANuGEN Technologies Inc., a privately held company that develops and commercializes the new standard in nucleic acid amplification and labeling systems, today announced the launch of the WT-Ovation(TM) RNA Amplification System. The latest product in NuGEN's Ovation(TM) family, WT-Ovation(TM), utilizes an amplification approach that is based on NuGEN's proprietary Ribo-SPIA(TM) technology, achieving an average of 1,500-fold linear amplification of mRNA. Following a 3.5 hour amplification process, micrograms of single-stranded cDNA product are generated from as little as 5 ng of total RNA, delivering a cDNA product that is ready for real-time quantitative PCR. This enables researchers to conduct gene studies even when only small amounts of RNA are obtainable.
"Current RNA amplification systems are limited because they rely on the 3' end of the RNA to initiate amplification. These 3'-biased methods only amplify mRNA with intact Poly-A," said Elizabeth Hutt, vice president of commercial operations at NuGEN. "WT-Ovation provides a revolutionary approach to RNA amplification. Whole Transcript Amplification effectively initiates the process from anywhere along the mRNA without the need for a Poly-A tail. For the first time, researchers can interrogate the full length of the transcripts regardless of the presence or absence of a Poly-A tail. For example, they can now effectively study splice variants, examine archived or degraded samples, investigate prokaryotic samples, and at the same time bank or archive amplification products of precious samples."
The WT-Ovation(TM) product is powered by the company's proprietary Ribo-SPIA(TM) technology, a patented linear amplification method that generates sensitive and high fidelity results. Pre-amplification produces cDNA in proportion to the amount of mRNA species in a sample, maintaining representation, and subsequently enhancing the sensitivity of QPCR analyses. As with other Ovation(TM) products, WT-Ovation(TM) requires the same small input and delivers unparalleled yield, fidelity and representation in one day.
"WT-Ovation is a distinctly different amplification approach that delivers superior speed, performance and convenience to whole-transcript analysis," said Elizabeth Davila, CEO of NuGEN. "Studying messenger RNA populations across the entire transcriptome is now a reality, and WT-Ovation provides an automation-friendly solution to researchers who have high throughput volumes."
For pricing and availability information for the WT-Ovation(TM) RNA Amplification System, please contact NuGEN Technologies at 888-654-6544 or email@example.com.

Bolelli defeated Simon Greul 7-6 (7-4), 7-6 (7-4) in a match that took nearly 2 hours. Greul faced only one break point -- and lost it -- in the match but converted only 1-of-4 break opportunities against Bolelli. That gave Bolelli a chance to grab the match in the tie-breakers.
Pere Riba, another qualifier, advanced out of the first round with a 1-6, 6-0, 6-3 victory over Paul-Henri Mathieu. Riba won 63 percent of the points after the first set.
Florent Serra topped Evgeny Korolev 7-6, (9-7), 6-3 despite having to deal with 11 break-point situations. Also, Andrey Golubev stopped Mischa Zverev 7-5, 6-1 and Florian Mayer dropped Pablo Cuevas 6-4, 6-1.
Denis Istomin, Jan Hajek and Maximo Gonzalez each needed three sets to win Monday. Istomin got by Lukas Rosol 3-6, 6-4, 6-3; Hajek topped Andreas Beck 6-3, 4-6 7-5; and Gonzalez beat Olivier Rochus 6-4, 5-7, 6-2.
Other winners Monday were Jarkko Nieminen, Fabio Fognini, Potito Starace and Jeremy Chardy.

Penfolds Bin 138 GSM 2007
Rhone Red Blends from Australia
Winemaker's Notes
Bin 138 is more of a fruit-driven style than the other Bin wines and displays a chalkier tannin texture. Its rich, earthy nature becomes more nuanced with age.
Pairs well with cheese, duck and game.
Blend: 42% Shiraz, 30% Mourvedre, 28% Grenache
Critical Acclaim
Australian Wine Companion - "Bright clear colour; a harmonious blend of spicy red and black fruits, licorice, chocolate and vanilla oak; the fine tannins provide a neat framework for the wine." -
Wine Spectator - "Ripe, generous and focused, with a veil of fine tannins around a pulsing core of cherry, blackberry and roasted meat flavors that linger easily on the open finish." -
The Wine Advocate - "The Bin 138 Grenache (64%)-Mourvedre (21%)-Shiraz (15%) was aged for 15 months in 5 year old hogsheads and blended just prior to bottling. Dark ruby-colored, it gives up aromas of underbrush, spice box, quince, pomegranate, and black cherry. On the palate it reveals already complex flavors including chocolate-covered cherries and wild raspberry. Elegantly styled, smooth textured, and ripe, it is likely to evolve for several years." - View All
Penfolds Wines Winery
Penfolds has been producing remarkable wines since 1844 and indisputably led the development of Australian fine wine in the modern era. The introduction of Penfolds Grange in 1951 forever changed the landscape of Australian fine wine. Since then a series of stand-out wines both white and red have been released under the Penfolds masthead. Peter Gago, Penfolds Chief Winemaker and only the 4th custodian of Grange, relishes the opportunity to bring Penfolds to the world stage and is an enthusiastic ambassador and natural educator. Penfolds came to the attention of the US market when 1990 Grange was Wine Spectator's 'Wine of the Year'. Since then, Penfolds Grange has become one of the most collectable wines of the world and was honored to grace the front cover, once again, of Wine Spectator, with declarations of Grange as Australia's Icon
About Other Australia
View a map of Other Australia wineriesWith a landmass the size of the US, Australia has just as many appellations. Many wines are simply labeled from their state of origin. Some of these are the most popular:
New South Wales
- home to Sydney and other tourist destinations, New South Wales has a smaller focused wine growing region, but many wines are a blend of these smaller appellations and so are deemed New South Wales appellation.
Western Australia
– a small corner of Australia winemaking occurs on the opposite coast of the others. The largest state, Western Australia includes the smaller appellation of Margaret River.
Southeastern Australia
– This appellation encompasses the states of South Australia, New South Wales and Victoria. Grapes are often trucked in from at least 2 of these states for crushing and bottling, giving the wine a more general appellation of origin. This is the broadest appellation in the country.About Australia
Like the United States, which is about the same size, Australia's winemaking regions are huddled into one or two pockets of the country. The state of South Australia, which produces about 60% of the country's wine, also has the most wineries and sub-regions, including McLaren Vale, Clare Valley, Coonawarra and Barossa Valley. New South Wales is home to the Hunter Valley, while the smaller, southern state of Victoria is best known for theYarra Valley. Head way west to the very large state of Western Australia and you'll find the tiny region of Margaret River at the southern tip. -

Most wine ranges from 10-16% alcohol by volume. Some varietals tend to have higher (for example Zinfandel and Cabernet Sauvignon) or lower alcohol levels (Pinot Noir and many white varietals), but there is always some variation from producer to producer. Some wine falls outside of this range, for instance Port weighs in closer to 20%, while Muscat and Riesling are usually a bit below 10%.Wine Style Guide
Light & Fruity
- Red wines that are more fruit-forward and lighter in tannin and body.
Smooth & Supple
- Medium bodied reds that go down easy, with smooth tannins and supple fruit.
Earthy & Spicy
- Wines where earthy and/or spicy dominate the flavors – typically medium to full body.
Big & Bold
- Full bodied wines that have concentrated fruit and are higher in alcohol and/or tannins. Some need age.

Rumours over the last 24 hours have indicated that Albert Pujols and agent Dan Lazano were in Toronto, possibly for a meeting with the Blue Jays.
Pujols has noted over the last couple weeks that he would be willing to meet face-to-face with any team with interest. So it makes sense if the Jays called, he would come.
No one can confirm or deny the reports, but just imagine the Jays are secretly ready to spend. Looking at free agents over the next few years (Josh Hamilton, Matt Cain, Cole Hamels) may have changed their minds about waiting. If true, and Rogers has the money, maybe, just maybe, the big splash is about to happen? For more on this you can read Drunk Jays Fans Post.
Projected lineup with Pujols. (and wishful thinking!)
1. Yunel Escobar SS
2. Colby Rasmus CF
3. Jose Bautista RF
4. Albert Pujols 1B
5. Brett Lawrie 3B
6. Adam Lind LF *
7. Edwin Encarnacion DH
8. J.P Arencibia C
9. Mike McCoy 2B
*Lind would have to return to the outfield
Adding a second baseman to this mix is the missing link.
Some have said that the Reds and Brandon Phillips would be a fit. Phillips has been on twitter this week discussing his latest contract situation with the Reds. One day it seems negative, the next seems the opposite, Any way you look at it, the Jays need a second baseman and the Reds want starting pitching. Trade Drabek and Janssen for Phillips?
Phillips most recent tweet.
The Blue Jays have been quiet, but won't be for long!

Just who is new Blue Jay Luis Valbuena?
If you missed the news this weekend, the Blue Jays finally made a move this offseason acquiring infielder Luis Valbuena from the Indians for cash considerations.
If your wondering about the move, it's just a minor transaction, one to improve the infield depth on the squad. With John McDonald re-signed in Arizona, and Kelly Johnson still an UFA, this move just helps down the road barring any injury to the starters come the regular season.
Valbuena in his career has hit .226 with 13 home runs and 57 RBI. In the 2009 season, he played in 103 games hitting 10 home runs. He has played second base, third, short stop, and left field over his four seasons with the Indians and Mariners.
At the Rogers Centre, he has gone 2-for-7 at the plate in four games, with one home run. Oddly enough, the homer came off Jays starter Ricky Romero.
With the winter meetings starting next Monday, I'm sure we will be talking about players other than Valbuena coming to the Blue Jays at that time.
Luis Valbuena,

Rumour Roundup: Lovullo out for BoSox? Cain to Yankees?
While the big news in sports may be taking place in the NBA Boardrooms, the baseball rumor mills are churning.
- The Boston Red Sox have narrowed down their managerial search, and every indication is that the search no longer includes Blue Jays first base coach Torey Lovullo according to John Tomase of the Boston Herald.
From the article:Love the first base coach intensity shots
The team hopes to make a decision early next week in order to have a manager in place before the winter meetings, which begin a week from tomorrow in Dallas. Blue Jays first base coach Torey Lovullo, the only other candidate still in the running as of Monday, will most likely not receive another interview.
- The Red Sox and Rays could be looking to the Yankees bullpen for pitching help, as they have reported checked in on Luis Ayala who pitched for the Bronx Bombers this past season, according to Jon Morosi of Fox Sports.
- You're the GM of the San Francisco Giants, Brian Cashman calls up and offers you Nick Swisher, Jesus Montero and two of his top prospects for Matt Cain. Do you take it?
All you need to know is that phone conversation happened and went absolutely nowhere. The Giants shot that down right away, as they appear to want Cain and Tim Lincecum to be the cornerstones of their rotation for years to come, according to Frank Russo of the NY Baseball Digest
In the same article, Russo suggests that the Yankees could also be pursuing Dan Haren and Matt Garza this offseason. Insert your obligatory "yikes" thought here. - Apparently the Chicago White Sox thought that Mark Buehrle would only attract five or six teams, according to Joe Cowley of the Chicago Sun-Times
Celebrating a pay day?
Because of their apparent naivete, the White Sox are now one of the least likely destinations for Buehrle when it's all said and done. As far as most likely:Well, the Miami Marlins, Washington Nationals, New York Yankees, Boston Red Sox, Toronto Blue Jays, Minnesota Twins, Texas Rangers, Kansas City Royals, Arizona Diamondbacks, St. Louis Cardinals and even the Cubs have given them a reality check. The list of interested teams continues to grow, and several three-year offers have come in already.
It looks like Buehrle has played his last game as a member of the White Sox after all.
He looks... dazed. |
Nice hair, Matt |
Morrison has a Pujols update...sort of
So.. did he have the inside info on King Albert not re-signing with the Cardinals?
At first you think, maybe, until the next tweet minutes after...

AL MVP announced today
With the announcement only 30 minutes away for American League MVP. Here is a quick recap of what might happen.
Watch the live stream at 1:55 PM ETon thescore.com from the guys from Getting Blanked.
ESPN says its a 5-horse race.
Richard Griffin of the Toronto Star thinks it may go to Curtis Granderson of the Yankees.
SportingNews looks at the possibility of it being a pitcher (Justin Verlander)
Bleacher report doesn't want it to be Granderson.
Getting Blanked thinks Jacoby Ellsbury may actually win this, although they hope Bautista does.
With Jose Bautista, the league leader in home runs, Verlander, the AL Cy Young Award winner, Jacoby Ellsbury, Curtis Granderson, and Miguel Cabrera all in contention, whoever wins will and should be without controversy.
By the numbers, Bautista should win, but I have a feeling Justin Verlander will take this one.
We will find out soon.
If Jose Bautista wins, will it be a bigger story in Canada than Sidney Crosby's return? Doubt it, but it should be.

Ortiz tweet a sign he may come to Toronto?
With offseason rumours of possible interest in the veteran DH, could this be a signal that he may actually be thinking of joining the Blue Jays. Again, I know one tweet thanking a few players for coming to his golf tourney doesn't mean he's close to signing, but what it may signal is that the players have been talking. Funny how he hashtagged #beastmode as well.
It's been said that free agents always check in with other players about the city they play in, team chemistry, etc...so maybe Romero and Bautista have mentioned all the good things about Toronto Ortiz may not have known about...and the new retro looking jerseys may also help out as well.
The Red Sox have offered him a new contract, according to several reports, but no decision has been made by the Ortiz camp.
Last season, Ortiz hit .309 with 29 home runs and 96 RBI.
Some feel Ortiz the last few seasons was starting to show his age, as he got off to a bad start in 2010 hitting .143 with one home run, but rebounded the rest of the way hitting 31 homers after April. Same thing happened last season, as he hit only two home runs in April only to hit 27 the rest of the way. Slow starter for sure, but definitely not washed up by any means.
In his career against the Blue Jays, Ortiz has hit 42 home runs, the most against any team. At Rogers Centre, he has hit .270 with 29 home runs and 80 RBI. The 29 homers are the most he's hit in any road park in his career.
Wishful thinking, but maybe the tweet was a sign.

Where I stayed
Hotel Happy Happy
We've had no Internet connection for the past couple of days, which is the reason I haven't posted anything recently. Things are going to change soon though, when we get back to Bali. I'm writing this in the afternoon of the 30th. Here is a recap of our adventures from Ruteng to Bajawa:
After a somewhat sleepless night, at least for me, we woke bright and early, took cold showers then wandered down to another building in the convent complex for our complimentary breakfast. Our meal consisted of hours-old fried eggs (cold), cold bread, cold butter, marmalade, and instant coffee. Oh, and a banana. It was pretty sparse, and the eggs were especially unpalatable. Soon enough, we were back on the road with Gabriel at the wheel. He offered to take us to his house there in town so we could meet his famliy and have a cup of tea with them. Turns out they live in a small shack with a tin roof, woven bamboo walls, and a concrete floor. The living room had a TV and several plastic chairs to sit on. Gabriel has three kids, a young girl and two older boys, ages 3 to 8. His wife was very pretty, and she and the kids sat on a purple plastic mat on the floor while someone in a dark back room prepared our drinks. We had brought along some small toys which we distributed to the boys. This made them very excited. We also had some candy that the little girl got ahold of before her mother took it from her; she tried a tiny nibble herself--and made some funny faces at the strange flavor (which was lime--it was a chewy candy coated in sugar).
Soon we were back on the road headed for a hill town called Bajawa (Bah JAH wah), about the mid-point of our overland tour. The roads continued to be extremely twisty and narrow. We climbed into the mountains where it began to rain. The vegetation became more and more jungly. I found out that clove trees are not actually what I described in the last entry. The trees I described, with fluffy cream-colored bracts, are actually macadamia. Clove trees look more like English holly in their stature and overall shape. We saw such a cornucopia of trees, shrubs, and flowers that it started to get confusing. But here is a partial list: Rubber, clove, macadamia, cashew, cocoa, banana, papaya, mango, jack fruit, various palms, bamboo, sandlewood, rubber, tree ferns, kapuk (has fluffy seed pods, of which mattresses are made), as well as angel's trumpet in full bloom, everywhere. That was just what we saw from the car windows and no doubt there are thousands of different species we didn't even know about.
Partway into our drive, Gabriel stopped at the side of the road so we could visit an arak distillery. Arak is the local liquor bottled and sold everywhere. It looks like watered down gasoline and is highly flammable. It's made from a certain palm tree (which has clusters of big palm-shaped leaves which, when the wind blows, clack together in a strange way). The locals climb the tree, apparently pierce the nuts and place bags underneath to catch the drippings. The next day they climb the tree again, take the bags down then empty them into the distillery on the ground. After some weird process, the fluid exits the distillery and runs down a hollow bamboo pole where it's bottled. The bottles used are empty water bottles. As in, used empty water bottles. In fact, Gabriel cleaned out our vehicle of empties before we walked up to the distillery, and left them in a pile on the ground for later use. Bill actually bought a small finished bottle of this arak. Disgusting. He later gave it to Gabriel, after tasting it. He said it was unbelievably strong.
After what seemed like forever, banging around in the car through what felt like hundreds of switchbacks, up and down one mountain and then on to the next, passing small villages, wide vistas, unending rice fields, sheer 1000 foot drop offs (roadway with mostly no guardrails or if there were, they were either bashed over or made of bamboo fencing), narrowly passing fuel trucks, bemos and motorcycles, etc., we finally entered the town of Bajawa. We decided to eat lunch before finding a place to sleep. Gabriel took us directly to his choice, called Dito's, whose motto is "Have Enjoy Your Meal." We both ordered some kind of chicken chow mein with very little chicken in it. I didn't like my meal, and turns out it didn't like me either. It's probably fortunate I didn't eat more than a few bites because I definitely started paying for it later on in the day. We stopped at a hotel (I'm using the term loosely because accommodations on Flores really leave a lot to be desired--just wait until I tell you about our lovely stay in Moni, coming up tomorrow). So the first place we stopped at we were less than thrilled about and declined. We remembered seeing a funny named hotel right when we first entered town so backtracked to it. Turns out it was an oasis of comfort. It is called Hotel Happy Happy. There are big yellow smiley faces painted on the front walls of the place. It really lived up to its name. The Dutch owners had just opened 10 days before, so everything was fresh and clean. We had our choice of rooms and selected one near the back, away from the road. We had clean sheets, clean towels, free water, free Wi-Fi, a wonderful flushing toilet, and in the morning a delicious breakfast. The owners, Henk and Marie, were super friendly and helpful in every way. We would recommend this place to anyone looking for that proverbial port in the storm.
After we'd unpacked a bit, it was time to take another drive to some local hot springs. We twisted and turned our way for about a half hour, with amazing views of the resident volcano, named Gunung Inerie out in the far distance, until we stopped at the entrance to the springs. After paying for admission, Bill and I walked down some paths and found a perfectly circular indentation in the earth, filled with very warm water. You had to sort of drop in to the water from above, landing on smooth rocks. The water level was not deep at all, probably 2 feet, so we did a lot of crouching and just enjoying the warmth. The spring was fed underground, and the overflowing water formed a rushing, emerald-colored stream at one end. We got out of the first spring and walked over to the stream and crouched around in that too. We shared the first pool with a small family and the stream with a bunch of local kids. It was really nice.
Once back at the room, we changed our clothes and headed out for dinner. We ate at Dito's again. Gabriel liked it there because they have a TV in the dining room that he could watch. Plus we figured he got some sort of kick back for bringing customers in. We had originally thought to eat at a place across the street, but we received zero service and soon gave up and went to Dito's. My tummy was quite upset still, so I decided to lay off the Asian fare for awhile and ordered the most American of foods I could figure out from the menu. I had a plate of cooked potatoes and a scrawny piece of fried chicken (drumstick attached to thigh). It was actually very tasty. Bill continued with the Asian theme, although I can't recall what he ate. There was some Japanese Star-Wars type adventure show on TV which everyone in the dining room watched. It had an exciting conclusion, in which a Chewbaka type character with Asian features and fur performed a gravity-defying kung-fu maneuver on a bunch of bad guys. We were all in suspense to see whether Chewie would save the day or not, and when he did, everyone in the dining room let out a huge collective "Ohhhh!" I found myself nodding and sharing satisfied smiles with the other diners including Bill, Gabriel, his friends, some Indo people seated next to us, a Dutch couple two tables away, etc. It was just kind of a stupid moment, looking back on it.
Back at Hotel Happy Happy, I immediately crashed, feeling quite done in. Bill stayed up and yacked with the owners. The next day--well, I'll save that for the next entry.
Wow, keep the blogs coming, totally fascinating. Anyone entranced by the travels of our intrepid adventurers, should check out "nathaniels nutmeg" a book by giles milton on the incredible adventures of the british & dutch in that part of the world during the 17th century. Still I'm curious were the cold eggs payback for bill messing with the nun's tv?

Structural properties of multi-component silicon oxycarbide glasses derived from metal alkoxide precursors
UNSPECIFIED. (1996) Structural properties of multi-component silicon oxycarbide glasses derived from metal alkoxide precursors. JOURNAL OF NON-CRYSTALLINE SOLIDS, 204 (3). pp. 217-227. ISSN 0022-3093
Full text not available from this repository.Abstract
Existing sol-gel polymerisation/pyrolysis routes employed to form simple silicon oxycarbide (Si-O-C) glass compositions have been adapted to form more complex, multi-component glasses based on borosilicon oxycarbide (B-Si-O-C) and aluminosilicon oxycarbide (Al-Si-O-C) systems. Each system has been characterised at the gel, glass and glass ceramic stage by X-ray powder diffraction (XRD), Si-29, Al-27 and B-11 magic angle spinning nuclear magnetic resonance (MAS NMR) and transmission electron microscopy (TEM). The boron component of the B-Si-O-C glass system exhibited predominantly BO3 coordination. The Al component of the Al-Si-O-C glass system exhibited combinations of tetrahedral, pentacoordinated and octahedral coordination over a range of pyrolysis temperatures. For both systems Si-C bonds were formed and retained throughout the hydrolysis, polymerisation and inert atmosphere pyrolysis stages with evidence of beta-SiC crystallisation at elevated temperatures (> 1300 degrees C). Crystallisation of both spinel and mullite phases has also been observed at elevated temperatures (> 1300 degrees C) in the Al-Si-O-C glass system.

Christmas Songs That Don't Suck: Part II
So the season hops along, and what's happening in the Valley? Snow in Scottsdale? Madness indeed. Perhaps it's an overload of crappy Christmas tunes driving the folks at Weather Control crazy. Let's fix that with some quality tunes, shall we?
In this week's installment, a little sadness courtesy Low, and some old-school jams alongside brand-new delights. Read on, children, read on.
Low, "Just Like Christmas"
A particularly cheery turn, at least for a band many consider a downer, this rendition of the classic is unusually poppy. If you prefer the band's more Slowdivey stuff, check out "Long Way Around the Sea," also on its 1999 EP Christmas.
Kurtis Blow, "Christmas Rappin'"
A disco beat and yuletide rhymes, and Santa goes straight to Brooklyn circa 1979.
Clarence Carter, "Backdoor Santa"
The blind soul singer whose hit song "Strokin'" raised a few eyebrows delivers a tune about some backdoor gift delivery courtesy a guy who comes more than just once a year. What, he's just talking about sneaking in while a husband's out... honest! Y'all got dirty minds.
Run-D.M.C., "Christmas in Hollis"
A bag of goodies, a dude with a beard, and Santa's lost his wallet! The Queens rap heavyweights sample "Backdoor Santa," "Jingle Bells" and "Frosty the Snowman" on this 1987 jam.
Diamond Rugs, "Christmas in a Chinese Restaurant"
This brand-new indie supergroup hasn't even released its debut album yet, but here's a fresh-out-the-oven holiday tune assembled by the band which boasts members of Deer Tick, the Black Lips, Los Lobos, Dead Confederate and Six Finger Satellite.

A number of cultivation methods in Organic Agriculture, such as diversified crop rotations and the application of organic manure, have a long-term effect, especially on the physical, biological and microbial parameters of soils. It often takes decades for the quantity and quality of soil organic matter to reach a new dynamic equilibrium. Long-term experiments are thus essential to investigate the effects of crop rotations and organic fertilization on soils and, as a result, on crops. The continuation of long-term experiments is therefore of particular importance to Organic Agriculture.
This volume contains a selection of 12 long-term experiments conducted under different site conditions in Germany, the USA, Italy, Denmark, Switzerland, Austria and Israel. Each experiment has a unique concept and scientific approach. But their common objective is to investigate characteristics of Organic Agriculture regarding key parameters of soil fertility, crop yield and quality. Many also examine environmental and economic parameters.
This volume is the first comprehensive publication of that kind, based on the activities of ISOFAR's working group for Long-Term Experiments (LTE).

Transform-Limited, Injection Seeded, Q-Switched, Ring Cavity Fiber Laser
Journal of Lightwave Technology, Vol. 30, Issue 16, pp. 2589-2595 (2012)
Acrobat PDF (1202 KB)
We report an Er-doped, actively Q-switched, fiber laser, generating transform-limited pulses based on single-frequency fiber laser seeded ring cavity. The output pulsewidth can be tuned from hundreds of nanoseconds to several microseconds by changing the repetition rate or the open time of the electrical pulse trigger. This injection-seeded, Q-switched ring cavity fiber laser can be operated over the whole C-band. In addition, a theoretical model is developed to numerically study the pulse characteristics by changing the acousto-optic modulator transmission as well as several cavity parameters, such as the cavity length and loss. The numerical results are in good agreement with the experimental results.

If you are beginning to detect clunking noise, wandering, and poor handling, it might be time to have your Buick Skylark ball joint changed. Your ball joint is a spinning coupling sandwiched between the vehicle's tire and suspension to serve as their rotating point; so when it gets damaged, you may expect abnormal wear patterns in the tires and also troubles in vehicle handling.
It is easy to spot a ball joint defect: just check the tread of your tires for scallops and too much wear. If just after your check up you discovered that your factory-installed component is already replacement, ensure that the one Buick Skylark ball joint you'll get will give the resilience and overall performance that will definitely answer the demands of many motorists. Getting a well-performing ball joint replacement a way to make sure that your automobile's knuckle is firmly kept in the right spot particularly when the wheels start to move down and up, right and left.
You will not encounter problems in finding reliable ball joints for almost all makes and models since it is found in Parts Train's more than 1 million parts and accessories on hand. Right here, the Buick Skylark ball joint order will sure be taken at all times since we are open 'round the clock and we have outstanding customer support so all your inquiries will definitely be resolved.

The Beach Boys FAQ -- John Stebbins
If you're a Beach Boys fan, or if you're at all interested in the history of popular music, you need this book. It's full of information on the group and the individual members, gossip, facts, trivia, you name it. No punches pulled. If you care about the addresses of the houses where the various group members lived, they're here. If you don't know who sang lead on every single, now you can find out. Film and TV appearances. Solo albums by group members. Concerts. Photos. I can't think of anything that's left out. Great stuff for browsing, and you'll hear the songs in your head as you read. Highly recommended.
