Customer Reviews of Western Digital My Passport for Mac 1TB USB 2.0 Portable Hard Drive
It is a great deal for the money and it's performa8/12/2012
I just recently received and didn't have time to use my new western digital passport 1 tb portable hard drive until 4 ays later. However, I was very pleased with the size , weight, sturdiness, and with the ease of use. There could have been a true instructive manual. This seems to be a real draw back with every computer related product, even my android 7inch tablet, it's Incredible but I NEED a Proper manuel. the hard drive backups fast with Mac's Time Machine. The problem is with encryption
We love this USB Drive. It's not too big so it fits really well. The capacity is adaquate for what I'm looking to do but you can never have too much storage. It runs fast and the USB speed is much better than my old one. I would give this a must buy and a 5 STARS!!!!!!

Pros: "It needed a little more leg room, front and back."
Cons: "Not good for tight turns."
Likely to recommend this car? (1-10): 10
"I purchased this RAV4 new in 1999 and although I had problems with a 1995 Toyota Tacoma, I have been extremely happy with this car. I delivered mail out of it, use it for family and now put my walker in the back. It's never let me down in the 14 years I've had it. Never a breakdown and completely reliable."

"Oh, my gosh, where do I start...I LOVE my Rav!! I got it with 119K and it now has 164K and still going strong! Regular maintenance, brakes, tires, previous owner put a new timing belt on at 94K. Nothing major. I would recommend this car in a heartbeat. In fact, my husband and I can't wait to get rid of our Pontiac Montana (when carpooling ends in June) and trade it in for another Rav. The Pontiac has been nothing but expensive trouble and the Rav has been nothing but dependable. I love that it gets into small parking spaces so easily and I love that I get 30 mpg with a mix of city and hwy. driving! I'm sad that they made it bigger, I like this smaller version. One last thing...I'm older and I don't like climbing in and out of smaller cars like a Corolla. The Rav is the perfect height for someone who just wants to get in their car without twisting a hip or knee out of joint."

"Never owned an Asian vehicle and boy, have I missed out. This is the best vehicle I have ever owned period. Yes, I bought it used and it was maintained somewhat, but wow! With 126000 miles when bought and now 140000 and doesn't leak anything at all. Doesn't burn or use oil or smoke. It is flawless in every way. A bit small even with four doors, but superior handling and driving. The reliability can not be matched and I have driven imports and domestic vehicles of all sorts. I bought it cheap and to just check out and simply feel in love with it in everyway. I can't find anything wrong with it at all. The proof is in the pudding for sure. I can't imagine what one of these things would be like brand new. In fact, the girl who sold it to me actually bought a new one and same color and I see why. It is over built like the Lexus. I'm sold and will drive this one for a very long time and will purchase a Toyota next time, no doubt about it."

"I'm the second owner of my 1997 Rav4 and at 218,000+ miles I keep hoping it will conk out on me so I can justify buying something new, but it just keeps on ticking! I have put nearly 100,000 miles on the car since purchasing it and have not had to do ANY repairs on it! It gets regular oil and fluid changes, checkups, etc., but that's it! I do admit that finally . . . about 5 or 6 thousand miles ago, a very small oil leak became apparent on my garage floor and it is burning a bit of oil now, but what the heck, look at the mileage on it! No compression loss at all so I'm tooling merrily along. We also have a 2000 Mitsubishi montero and with the seats folded down, there's more cargo area in the mighty Rav than in the Montero. I also love the AWD option - hands down better than any 4WD vechicle I've owned, and living in the boondocks, I've owned many. It handles EXCEPTIONALLY well in the snow and inclement weather. In 1997 it wasn't built to be a luxury car, so yes, there's some road noise and the seats aren't exactly Lexus type, but I've driven it all day before and the driver's seat remains more than adequately comfortable. It still idles perfectly - I was getting a smog check recently and the technician asked me to turn on the engine - I told him it was already running and he couldn't believe it. The cruise control works great - it doesn't slow down or speed up slightly, like some CC options. I did replace the stereo and front speakers a few years ago with some good equipment, but given the rig's road noise, I wouldn't put a lot of money into high end speakers. Oh yeah - the one thing that's always been "wrong" with it is when I put the fan all the way to defrost, for some reason the A/C light kicks on, but it doesn't affect the functionality. For a 10 year old car, I'm not gonna worry about that. For me, it's just been a great value, and a very dependable rig, I'd buy a new one in a heartbeat, if they weren't so dang expensive now!"

"My 99' RAV4 is a vehicle that I'll continue to rave about long after it's gone. It has given me little by way of repairs...a little bit of brake work, a new set of tires and that's all about that. The ac works just as well as it did that day I took delivery. The handling and control are still as agile and the fuel consumption still gives me a good return for my dollars. Mine's a hunter green color, and once again, it still looks as good as it did years back. No rust, a few pings and things here and there but still very decent looking. I am considering adding leather to refresh the interior, that's how much I love this car. My advice is, should you encounter this gem grab it and keep it. Period"

On February 19, the UK Financial Services Authority (FSA) published an updated "one-minute guide" summarizing the changes to the FSA Handbook that will come into effect when the FSA's two successor regulatory bodies, the Prudential Regulation Authority (PRA) and the Financial Conduct Authority (FCA), acquire their legal powers on April 1.
The guide confirms that the FSA intends to publish the FCA and the PRA Handbooks during March. The FSA expects to publish the designation and editorial changes online in early March. The remaining substantive changes that have been subject to FSA consultation will be published later in March, together with the relevant FCA and PRA Policy Statements.
The new FCA and PRA Handbooks will reflect the new regulatory regime (for example, references to the FSA will be replaced with the appropriate regulator). In some areas more substantive changes will be made to reflect the existence of the two regulators and their roles and powers as successors to the FSA. This will include the future processes for obtaining permissions, passporting, controlled functions, threshold conditions and enforcement powers.

Im holding out till Everquest Next is released and hopefully will bring back some of the magic that mmo's had back in the early days.

TimePharaoh posted...theject posted...Also to note Guild Wars 2 was, in my opinion, the best take on the MMO genre since World of Warcraft combined all the good things (that existed at the time) and launched in one game. It's exceptionally good if you like the action based combat. I was pretty wrapped up in it until the end game, unfortunately that is where they hurt themselves. It was pretty awful in my opinion, however, the different classes were very well made, and fun, most importantly.
Maybe he was watching a youtuber play a different game while looking for a snarky opinion to copy and paste, then had it confused with Guild Wars 2.
"Since this game rely on micro transaction when people leave for mop this game will be I survive."
I have to agree here. In the past 10 to 15 years, most genres have gotten more engaging over time, with better story telling, more impressive visuals in some genres improved gameplay. However, the MMO genre has remained incredibly stagnant, even to the point that the same game that was the biggest MMO almost 10 years ago is still the biggest MMO today, and new releases follow that blueprint very closely (even though the game has evolved over time, I will give them that).

MMOs getting big was a fluke. Prior to WoW they were a niche genre, then WoW hit and it was a mainstream phenomenon. Now the time for MMOs is essentially over, but you still have companies making cheap MMOs to exploit people who are either late to the party or not wanting to admit to themselves that it's over.
Of course we'll still have companies releasing highly-polished MMOs over time but who really wants to play with hundreds of other people all the time anymore? That's like saying you like driving in traffic or long lines.
Man, you are think. - KrazyDago101's attempt to insult me
I remember when I first played Ragnarok Online a few years ago, it was more social, you got to know other people more. Now all I see is people just trying to level up and get more gear, to me thats just boring.

I'm hoping that Camelot Unchained gives me the same feel as DAoC did back in the day. I loved everything about DAoC pre-TOA, even doing pygmies for hours to get the last few levels to hit cap.
IMO the grind part of MMOs is what builds the community. You spend so much time leveling and conversing with people that it builds a community.
I'm just trying to catch a glimmer of that game/community from back in the day. And of all the MMOs I've tried, I haven't found it.
Although of the past decade, I'd say I've had the most fun with DC Universe Online.

"My fiance and I are having a formal wedding and had a hard time finding invitations that would reflect that but still include a design that wasn't boring but not too frilly, either. We chose the standard paper weight included in the price and it's wonderful quality. WPD also did a really nice job making adjustments to the font size and spacing to make sure everything was formatted perfectly before printing. Really, I can't say a bad thing about these invitations - if you're looking for great quality and a beautifully finished product I would recommend these one hundred percent."
"I am so in love with the finished product. WPD was amazingly attentive when it came to the little details in the font and grammer. I did change the wording some and they made it look natural and seemless. I also had a special request for a poem to be printed on the back which turned out beautifully since the design continued onto the back. Overall my fiancé and I are very satisfied with our wedding invites!"
"I absolutely love these! I couldn't be happier with how they turned out! I was able to personalized the font, wording, spacing and color to make them completely one of a kind. They are exactly what I had in mind!"

BATH TOWNSHIP — If you like teams that press, this may have been your night.
Bath and Wadsworth both rolled out a suffocating man-to-man press. And both gobbled up steals and converted the turnovers into fast-break points at the other end.
Bath cruised past Lima Central Catholic 70-28 in the opening round of the Bath McDonald's Holiday Tournament on Friday at Bath.
In the other opening-round game of the tournament, Wadsworth, from northeast Ohio, ran past Minster, 54-25.
That sets up a 7:30 p.m. championship game tonight between Bath (9-0) and Division I Wadsworth (9-0). In the 6 p.m. consolation game, LCC (6-3) will play Minster (6-2).
"You want to play teams that will help you grow as a team, and I feel Wadsworth is that type of program. It's going to be a good battle," Bath coach Greg Mauk said.
In the second game of the night, Bath forced LCC into 20 turnovers in the first half and 30 for the game.
The Wildkittens' man press forced nine turnovers in the opening quarter. That helped Bath rip off a 17-0 run to pull out to a 23-5 lead. Bri Smith's 5-footer gave Bath the lead to stay 6-5 before the Wildkittens hit their power surge.
Leading the spurt was Bath guard Alyssa Manley, who scored eight points during the 17-0 run. Manley, who scored 10 in the first quarter, finished with a game-high 22 points. Most of Manley's points came on her ability to drive and weave her way through traffic to the basket.
"We were up on them and quick," Manley said of the press. "We really didn't want them to have a look on the ball."
Mauk said, "When she (Manley) attacks the rim, it opens up her game and the floor. Tonight they couldn't stop her from getting to the rim."
Madison Dackin also drove to the basket for 11 points for Bath. Danielle VanDyne had six points, seven rebounds and two blocks. Audrey Brandon added six points and seven rebounds.
But the key was the Bath press, which the LCC guards had difficulty negotiating.
"We have to be able to get after people in the full court, that's what gets our game going," Mauk said.
Bath led 43-14 at the half wasn't challenged in the second half.
Bath won the boards, 36-30. Bath shot 45 percent from the field, while LCC shot 22 percent.
Wadsworth 54, Minster 25
Wadsworth used its man-to-man press to force Minster into 15 turnovers by the half and 24 for the game.
The press-and-run game kicked in the Wadsworth transition game, which helped it roll off a 14-0 run to close the second quarter. Wadsworth took a 16-13 lead and converted it into a 30-13 lead at the half.
"Our bread and butter is probably our man-to-man run and jump," Wadsworth coach Andrew Booth said. "We always play that. We just mix in a zone (press) to mix things up. That's the way we like to play. I wouldn't claim us to be the most athletic team, but our kids play hard and I think they are very good at what they do, in terms of pressure defense. We really don't know how to play any other way. We want to try to play as fast as we can."
Booth's daughter, Peyton Booth, had 12 points, six rebounds and five assists. Jodi Johnson led Wadsworth with 20 points.
Wadsworth made the trip across northern Ohio for the tournament after Bath made the trek to northeast Ohio last year.
"I met Greg (Mauk) a number of years ago and struck up a good friendship, and he agreed to come to our place last year," Booth said. "So when he came over, he said we have to play in his tournament. We'll go where we have to go to play good teams."

Kim Kardashian's Twitter photo album just got a whole lot more interesting...! Instead of sharing her usual bikini clad snaps, this time the reality TV star has gone underwater to make her bum to focus.
Kim Kardashian showed off her curves underwater this time. Copyright [Twitter/Kim Kardashian]
While most of us spent Sunday glued to the Olympics, Kim Kardashian went for a leisurely swim and got her best Little Mermaid pose on as she swam through the water.
Kim switched to a monochrome filter for this photo. Copyright [Twitter/Kim Kardashian]
With the help of a waterproof camera she posed for a series of pics looking like an amphibian beauty although her bum couldn't help but be the focus of the frame.

She captioned this blue-hued image "Swim Good" — but we think she should have really said 'looking good' — as that's exactly what she did!
The brunette beauty then opted for a monochrome filter as she swan in a more upright position showing off her toned tummy and incredible figure.
Kim shared this snap of Kyliee Jenner underwater too. Copyright [Twiter/Kim Kardashian]
She superseded these snaps with an image of her younger sister Kyliee Jenner also taking a dip in the pool, this shot showed off a striking bikini with ripped effect.

How do you write good parameterized unit tests? Where do they work the best? Are there some Test Patterns ? Anti Patterns?
How do you write good parameterized unit tests? Where do they work the best? Are there some Test Patterns ? Anti Patterns?
This is the kind of questions that we have received many times from Pex users. We just released Pex 0.7 which contains a list patterns and anti-patterns for parameterized unit testing (this is still a draft but we feel that we already have a number of good patterns that would be helpful for anyone giving a shot at Pex):
Note that most of the patterns in this document are not Pex specific and apply to parameterized unit tests in general; including MbUnit RowTest/CombinatorialTest/DataTest, NUnit RowTest, MSTest Data Test, etc…
The amazing 'quadruple A' pattern
The 'triple A' pattern is a common way of writing a unit test: Arrange, Act, Assert. Even more 'A'crobatic, we propose the 'quadruple A' where we added one more 'A' for assumption:
Pex is an automated white box testing tool from Microsoft Research. More information at http://research.microsoft.com/pex.
I've upgraded QuickGraph to C# 3.0, and it's extension methods and lambdas (requires .net 3.5). The result is fairly nice, specially the extension methods who make algorithms more discoverable.
For example, the following snippet shows how to get the topological sort of tables out of a DataSet (useful when you need to fill/delete tables):
DateSet ds = …; // get some DataSet// ToGraph() is an extension method on DataSet, which builds // the Table/Relation graph from the data set schemavar g = ds.ToGraph(); // TopologicalSort() is an extension method on IVertexAndEdgeListGraph<T,E>// which returns the graph topological sort var tables = g.TopologicalSort(); foreach(DataTable table in tables) Console.WriteLine(table.TableName);
DateSet ds = …; // get some DataSet// ToGraph() is an extension method on DataSet, which builds // the Table/Relation graph from the data set schemavar g = ds.ToGraph(); // TopologicalSort() is an extension method on IVertexAndEdgeListGraph<T,E>// which returns the graph topological sort var tables = g.TopologicalSort(); foreach(DataTable table in tables) Console.WriteLine(table.TableName);
More changes were made on the API to take advantage of delegates (i.e. since it's easier to write them): no more predicate interfaces, dropping dictionaries for delegates in shortest path algorithm etc…
In the previous post, we implemented the insertion method of a binary heap using Test Driven Development (TDD) and parameterized unit tests (I'll leave the full implementation of the insertion method as an exercise).
In this post, we will take a closer look at the development flow that we used and show how it relates to traditional TDD. For many people, combining TDD and automated test generation makes no sense. I believe this is not true anymore, and this is what this post is about.
Test Driven Development Flow
TDD has a well-defined flow where developers
During this flow, practitioners also refer to the green state when all tests are passing and red state when some tests are failing. The little picture below depicts this little state machine.
A key aspect of this approach is that the design of the API is inferred by writing the 'scenarios', i.e. tests. Therefore, unit tests are a critical building block of the TDD flow.
Note also that xUnit-like test frameworks (pick your favorite framework here) provide the automation tools so that the execution of the test and the investigation of a failure is painless for the programmer.
Test Driven Development Flow With Parameterized Unit Tests
Parameterized unit tests and Pex change the TDD flow while retaining its essence: building the design from tests. Here are the steps, we'll discuss them in detail later on:
The key difference is the shortcut from step 4 (generating unit tests) to 3 (fix the code), without passing through step 1 (write a new test). This is illustrated by the yellow feedback loop in the diagram below:
To the risk of repeating myself, let me emphasize some important points here:
The shortcut from 4 to 3
As mentioned above, the main difference in the flow is that jump from running the tool (step 4) to fixing the code (step 3), without writing new tests (step 1). This happens because a parameterized unit tests captures equivalence classes rather than a single scenario like closed unit tests. As a result,
To Pex and not to Pex
An important aspect of parameterized unit tests (and tools like Pex) is that you do not have to drop (completely) your existing habits: in many cases, it is easier to write closed unit tests! In fact, you can always start from a closed unit test and refactor it later. We do not expect users to parameterized unit tests write exclusively (another nice read here), but when you do write them, we expect you'll get much more 'out of your buck'.
In future posts, we'll discuss different ways to write parameterized unit tests: from refactoring existing unit tests to using test patterns.
To be continued...
Next time, we'll go back to the heap and look at implementing the 'remove minimum' method...
(Pex is a automated structural testing tool from Microsoft Research. More information at http://research.microsoft.com/pex.)
The other day I stumbled on a first draft on a new book on algorithms (Data Structure and Algorithms). After taking a peak at the draft, I found some (hidden) motivation to finally write a decent binary heap for QuickGraph. A heap is a critical data structure for Dijkstra shortest path or Prim's minimum spanning tree algorithm, since it is used to build efficient priority queues.
In this post, we'll start building a binary heap using Test-Driven Development (write the tests first, etc...) and parameterized unit tests.
The heap is a tree where each parent node has a value smaller or equal to the child nodes. The binary heap is a heap implemented through a binary tree, and to make things more interesting (and fast), the tree is usually mapped to an array using indexing magic:
The indexing magic is typically the kind of things that introduce bugs.
Let's write that first test
We start by writing a test that simply fills any binary heap with a number of entries. A possible test for this is written as follows:
public void Insert<TPriority, TValue>(
[PexAssumeUnderTest]BinaryHeap<TPriority, TValue> target,
[PexAssumeNotNull] KeyValuePair<TPriority, TValue>[] kvs)
var count = target.Count;
foreach (var kv in kvs) {
target.Add(kv.Key, kv.Value);
AssertInvariant<TPriority, TValue>(target);
Assert.IsTrue(count + kvs.Length == target.Count);
There are a number of unusual annotations in this test. Let's review all of them:
There are also two assertions in the test. Inlined in the loop, we check the invariant of the heap (AssertInvariant). We'll fill up this method as we go. At the end of the test, we check that the Count property.
BinaryHeap version #0
We start with a simple (broken) implementation that does nothing:
public class BinaryHeap<TPriority, TValue> {
public void Add(TPriority priority, TValue value) { }
public int Count { returnt 0; }}
Now that the code compiles, we run Pex which quickly finds that a non-empty array breaks the count assertion.
BinaryHeap version #1
We have a failing test so let's fix the code by storing the items in a list:
public class BinaryHeap<TPriority, TValue> {
List<KeyValuePair<TPriority, TValue>> items = new List<KeyValuePair<TPriority, TValue>>();
public void Add(TPriority priority, TValue value) {
this.items.Add(new KeyValuePair<TPriority, TValue>(priority, value));
public int Count {
get { return this.items.Count; }
We run Pex again and all the previous failing tests are now passing :)
There's a new object creation event that happened (bold events should be looked at). Remember that the test takes a binary heap as argument, well we probably need to tell Pex how to instantiate that class. In fact, this is exactly what happens when I click on the object creation button:
Pex tells me that it guessed how to create the binary heap instance and gives me the opportunity to save and edit the factory. The factory looks like this and get included automatically in the test project:
public partial class BinaryHeapFactory {
[PexFactoryMethod(typeof(BinaryHeap<int, int>))]
public static BinaryHeap<int, int> Create() {
BinaryHeap<int, int> binaryHeap = new BinaryHeap<int, int>();
return binaryHeap;
All our tests are passing, we can write the next test... but wait!
We have an invariant!
The nice thing about data structures is that they have fairly well defined invariants. These are very useful for testing!
In the case of the heap, we know that the parent node priority should always be less or equal to the priorities of both of his left and right children. Therefore, we can add a method to BinaryHeap that walks the array and checks this property on each node:
public void ObjectInvariant() {
for (int index = 0; index < this.count; ++index) {
var left = 2 * index + 1;
Debug.Assert(left >= count || this.Less(index, left));
var right = 2 * index + 2;
Debug.Assert(right >= count || this.Less(index, right));
}private bool Less(int i, int j) {
return false;
Remember that AssertInvariant method, let's call ObjectInvariant in that method and run Pex again.
void AssertInvariant<TPriority,TValue>(BinaryHeap<TPriority,TValue> target) {
Pex immediately finds an issue:
This assertion is due to our overly simplified implementation of Less, which always return false.
Fixing tests, and finding new failing tests
We have failing tests so it's time to fix the code again. Let's start fixing on the Less method by using a comparer:
readonly Comparison<TPriority> comparison =
private bool Less(int i, int j)
return this.comparison(this.items[i].Key, this.items[j].Key) >= 0;
We run Pex and it comes back with the following tests:
Two interesting things happened here:
The coolest part is we did not have to write any additional line of code to get to this point: Pex updated the previous tests and generated the new failure for us.
This is a new kind of flow that occurs when using Pex in TDD: a code update has fixed some issues but created new ones. We are still moving towards our goal but we did not have to pay the price of writing a new unit test.
In fact, to fulfill the invariant and make this test pass we will have to write a correct implementation of the Add method.... without writing a single additional line of test code :)

U.N. Telecommunications Conference
By editor
Originally published on Mon December 3, 2012 4:00 am
Representatives from more than 190 countries are convening in Dubai to discuss the treaty regulating global telecommunications. It hasn't been updated since 1988, when the Internet was in its infancy. There is fear that countries known to censor or restrict Internet access will push for global governance that could hamper speech and innovation. Renee Montagne discusses the issues with Ambassador Philip Verveer, who coordinates U.S. policy on global communications.

Dot.com Accounting - Anyone's Guess?
The rules focus on how Generally Accepted Accounting Principles (GAAP) are applied to e-Commerce and online businesses. Discrepancies as to which rules are followed has attracted the attention of the Securities and Exchange Commission, who now has asked the Financial Accounting Standards Board (FASB) to step in and investigate 20 issues that may come about due to dot.com accounting.
In turn, the FASB has asked it's Emerging Issues Task Force to step in and report back to them with their findings.
Already, FASB knows one of the contested areas is revenue recognition.
A recent Fortune magazine series [1] outlines clearly and distinctly many of the issues the SEC and now the FASB are investigating:

DeNiro, Eastwood, Lucas help present early Oscars
Several governors of various academy branches spoke about the groundbreaking work of controversial filmmaker Jean-Luc Godard, who did not attend Saturday's ceremony. The French-born director has been the subject of media reports in recent weeks that suggest he is anti-Semitic, and the academy received some complaints about selecting him to receive an honorary Oscar, though many filmmakers, including Quentin Tarantino and Martin Scorsese cite him as an inspiration.
"Godard dared us to misbehave, both as grown-ups and as artists," said Lynne Littman, governor of the academy's documentary branch. "He is still misbehaving, and I like to think this is the first time we've given an Oscar for it."
The academy established its Governors Awards last year to pay tribute to winners of honorary Oscars and the Thalberg bust - prizes previously presented during the Academy Awards telecast. Governors from its 15 branches chose Saturday's winners.
Highlights from the untelevised event will be available online at Oscars.org and included in the Academy Awards telecast on Feb. 27, 2011.

The term "Bring your own device" or BYOD has become more mainstream as of late. Gone are the days of IT simply handing out a device prescribed in part because the solution was thought of as secure and easily managed. More and more, "Mobile Workers" are enticed by the latest and greatest smartphones released and look to capitalize on their investment by dual purposing their device for personal and business use. There are benefits to allowing users to supply their own smartphones, but if not secured and managed properly the threat of lost or stolen data could outweigh the benefits. Microsoft addresses this issue and arms IT administrators through a combination offering of both the recently released System Center SP1 and Windows Intune.
System Center 2012 SP1 provides integration between Configuration Manager and Microsoft's Windows Intune. Utilizing a single and familiar management console, IT organizations securely manage BYOD, helping ensure secure and productive employee experiences with applications and data on virtually any device, anywhere.
The following are a list of tools to help IT professionals properly plan a BYOD implementation at their organization utilizing System Center 2012 SP1 and Windows Intune:

What about those two little guys in the "Silent Running" ship that were sent out to save our trees??? Or, that "Drac" guy who has a baby "Drac" in "Enemy Mine"??? Where's he now? PS: I also saw a tribble. He had a great paying gig, although he was spray painted orange, for a wig for Bruce Willis on Letterman... Was a fun skit! And, I hear the pay was huge!
Pluto is still a planet, at least according to many astronomers. This debate is far from over. Only four percent of the IAU voted on the controversial demotion, and most are not planetary scientists. Their decision was immediately opposed by hundreds of professional astronomers in a formal petition led by New Horizons Principal Investigator Dr. Alan Stern. Stern and like-minded astronomers favor a broader planet definition in which a planet is any non-self-luminous spheroidal body in orbit around a star. The spheroidal part is important because it means the object is large enough to be rounded by its own gravity, a state known as hydrostatic equilibrium and characteristic of planets, not of shapeless asteroids. Also, Pluto is not located in the Oort Cloud. It is located at the beginning of the Kuiper Belt, which begins beyond Neptune and is a lot closer to the Sun than the Oort Cloud is.
but Pluto is now a dwarf planet, it is official, that is the way the planet plummets.
Became a speech writer for an incredibly unsuccessful politician.
Gort was actually a "he" and anatomically correct. However, that wasn't apparent until a front panel was opened. When the panel was opened, the result was difficult to ignore. Since he was eight feet tall, everything was to scale! < This factoid is the result of the viewing of several scenes that were originally cut from the film by the 1951 censors. >
I can't spell but I know a planet when I see one and they ain't changing my mind and I think that funny too !! Love Sci-Fi can see the humor in all of this. You guys are Great thank for al the humor. Oh yes two Internets I hear that is comming
as a planet. http://ssd.jpl.nasa.gov/sbdb.cgi?sstr=pluto;orb=1;cov=0;log=0;cad=0#orb Play with the controls, kinda cool.
Um, my Humane Society of America calendar ends December 31, 2011. After that, well, there is no after that. Nada. Where you all getting this 2012 stuff from? What a bunch of optimists! Unless and until HSA revises their calendar I just don't see how there can be any 2012.
too disturbing if true. The Aztecs were right 2 years to go and that is it. Or not.
Please don't tell me the Earth's ephemerides cannot be calculated beyond 2012, now. :0
program is somewhat in question, they give a disclaimer about the long term accuracy of going out too many years. But it is fun to look at, and a nice find, but it looks like some of the outer planets will be on the wrong side of the Sun for viewing.
It'll give our great great great great great great great great grandchildren all sorts of crazy doomsday stories and theories and hoaxes to listen to and get all riled up about... (that's 8 generations downstream for me, 7 or 6 for some of you, just cut out a couple of "great"s).
Based on the orbit program, some time in 2169 around February 12, a lot of planets will be in a line within a VERY small angle.
Voyager II is 6.684586454211886E+91 AU from the sun.
so the end of time for Pluto is 3000-MAY-05 23:58:53.8144 UT, seems Jupiter will not fair so well, end of time for Jupiter is 2500-JAN-02 23:58:53.8163 UT. Sorry, I won't be here for either.
one goes here: http://ssd.jpl.nasa.gov/horizons.cgi?find_body=1&body_group=sb&sstr=134340 Ephemeris Type [change] : OBSERVER Target Body [change] : Pluto Barycenter [9] Observer Location [change] : Sun (body center) [500@10] Time Span [change] : Start=2011-01-09, Stop=5600-02-08, Step=1 d Oops! No ephemeris for target "Pluto Barycenter" after A.D. 3000-MAY-05 23:58:53.8144 UT Oh-oh.
by that standard the internet should be banned. :)
You must have not understood the whole trinity thing like I did ;)
that's exactly why it's forbidden in the Bible.
Is a solution of which I am familiar with; nonce, I got rid of her, and she, of me.
myself, easy, I let the wife handle that.
As if we do not have enough to worry about -- the end of time, notwithstanding. How [i]do[/i] you put up with yourself?
you can also speed it up, or show all orbits, if you like getting dizzy you can change the center, it stops at 2200 years, guess that is the end of time.
Like being stoned and munchies served.
to observe the orbit of Pluto, then the slider on the right will enable you to see the inclination of the orbit. Use the >> button to put it in motion, the days will count up, use the zoom to go to the center of the solar system and see how fast the inner planets move, cool I tell ya.
Probably because I have no clue about 3-body celestial mechanics.
I enjoy you when you come by.
It's the first of its new class of objects - Plutoids. It got a promotion and is now in charge of other dwarf planets, including Eris, which is bigger than Pluto. Don't cry! :D
Now he's lord of the undersized ;)
Great laugh to start off a snowy Sunday here... thanks. Gotta love a sharp sense of humor. I'll gift ya half of one of my intertubes, too. I've sent your bags on ahead... where was that you're staying? Now I have an image of a shrine to Pluton in the chapel of the underpants gnomes... Lord means Lord, that would be all the undersized, right?
probably smites people that don't put back the undermeasure fish, too. ;)
They will be shipped to the mailing address you provide. :D
Like him or not (Most of us in Illinois don't), At least get the name right!
Um.... Pluto was designated a planet in 1930... not 2003. Quote: Having been a part of the planet ?club? since 2003, you can imagine what a blow it was to Pluto to be kicked out unceremoniously on August 24, 2006.
There were a few chuckles and a full on belly-laugh in that gallery. I heard that some of the Tribbles have taken part-time jobs as dust bunnies inside PCs. I also think Roy Batty's death was faked. The man who does the yardwork for the doctor down the street looks awfully familiar...
Jar-jar is now occupying some very expensive real estate in Washington DC. Notice the similarity in the walk and hand/arm gestures? Notice the similarity of speech patterns, and credibility? Notice similar back ground, never having held a regular job, but becoming a senator...the narrative ends here
Glen Beck might pick it up. It would do wonders for his reputation...
On the whole "where are they now"...not funny
If you are going to paradize a famous sci fi character make sure you spell his name right - It's Gort not Gork and I am very sensitive about the spelling of my name. Afterall I have been typecasted since 1951 and have never gotten any more movie offers until 2008 but I had to work with Keanu Reeves - luckily I have a nuclear power supply and I don't require food or drink and I live in LA where the weather is pretty nice.

Those nice TechRepublic folks are on the ball. Spelling corrected! Klaatu Barada Neato
It's Klaatu Barada Necktie, and we're all doomed.
Not everyone. maj
Get help . . .
Don't need any thank you. maj
planet: a material object who's self-gravitation pulls it into an oblate spheroid shape, and independently orbits a star. Moons orbit planets. Planets orbit stars. What do you call an object the size and composition of the Earth that doesn't orbit another planet or star, but floats free in the universe? Beats me. We'll come up with a term for it ifever and whenever we actually find one.
I personally like Bob. MIcrosoft isn't using it anymore...
I agree with you and others that Pluto is still a planet in my book, but I am not sure about your definition. Aren't most of the comets roughly sperical? maj
Not that I agree that Pluto should have been demoted, but Pluto doesn't fit the definition you placed in your post. As with any multiple body system in the same orbit, the barycenter (center of mass) of the system orbits around the center of mass of the solar system. In the Earth-Moon case, the barycenter of the system is ~1000 miles below the Earth's surface. In the Pluto-Charon-Hydra-Nix system, the barycenter is actually outside the surface of Pluto. So Pluto doesn't independently orbit our Sun. Pluto orbits around the barycenter, and the barycenter orbits around the Sun. See this for some more info on the Pluto system: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Moons_of_Pluto The big problem the IAU had was if you keep Pluto as a planet, you pretty much have to include Charon and several asteroids (Ceres, Vesta, etc). Then you end up with 12-13 planets and really mess up the mnemonic for learning the order of the planets. The answer to your question about what you call a planet that floats free in the universe: Rogue Planet
Pluto and Charon can be said to orbit the Sun as a binary system. The problem is, the IAU definition rules out the possiblity of any binary systems because by definition, planets in a binary system have not cleared their orbits of one another. Mnemonics are not an issue, and neither is memorization. We don't ask kids to memorize all the rivers on Earth or the 63 moons of Jupiter or all the elements in the Periodic Table. Most asteroids wouldn't be considered planets anyway. Ceres would, as it is not an asteroid because it is rounded by its own gravity. 19th century astronomers did not have telescopes powerful enough to resolve Ceres into a disk. Vesta and Pallas are borderline. If the solar system has 50 or 100 planets, then that is what it has. Artificially limiting the number for convenience has no scientific basis.
Saw Gort in Seattle at Scifi Museum!
They got it right in the title, but messed it up in the description. Also messed up the description for Sol Roth, they called him "Green" in the description. Oh well, mistakes do happen, still a pretty funny article.

Kurt Brown, Poet and Advocate, has Died
August 13, 2013
American poetry, and the larger literary world, lost one of its biggest champions on the night of June 16, when Kurt Brown died from a stroke in his sleep, in California. Poet, editor, memoirist, essayist, teacher, and administrator, Kurt Brown was the founding director of the Aspen Writers' Conference, now in its 37th year, and founding director of AWP's Writers' Conferences & Centers (formerly Writers' Conferences & Festivals) now in its 23rd year. He served on the board of Sarabande Books for many years, and on the board of Poets House in New York for six years.
Brown was the author of six chapbooks and six full-length books of poetry, most recently Time Bound, from Tiger Bark Press, which will publish his new and selected poems in 2014. He also edited or co-edited seven poetry anthologies, including, most recently, Killer Verse: Poems about Murder & Mayhem. He was the editor of three anthologies of lectures: The True Subject, Writing it Down for James, and Facing the Lion, which gathered outstanding lectures from writers' conferences and festivals.
Lost Sheep: A Portrait of Aspen in the '70s, Brown's memoir describing the town during a crucial period in its history, was published in 2012. A book of translations, with his wife, the poet Laure-Anne Bosselaar, entitled The Plural of Happiness: Selected Poems of Herman de Coninck, was published in 2006.
Brown taught poetry workshops and craft classes at Sarah Lawrence College, and he was recently the McEver Visiting Chair in Writing at Georgia Tech in Atlanta as well as a visiting writer at Westminster College in Salt Lake City. He was also an editor for the online journal, MEAD: The Magazine of Literature and Libations. Kurt is survived by his wife.
A celebration of the life and work of Kurt Brown will be held at AWP's Seattle conference in 2014.

Statement from Commanding Officer of NYPD's 90th Precinct
Monday, April 21, 2008 - 10:56 AM
Here's what John Corbisiero, Commanding Officer of the 90th precinct wrote to us in response to our request for more info on the perceived increase in police presence in the Williamsburg area:
There has been an increase in officers assigned to patrol the Southside of the precinct because of a slight up turn of crime within the area, we did have a local robbery pattern of knife point robber m/h who committed about 4-5 robberies , but the 90 pct detective squad has made the apprehension.
One of the biggest problems we face in the area is a delay in reporting when something happens, this causes the department to lose precious time in responding and apprehending the person, so please ask your listeners to call 911 when they feel there is someone in the area who may look suspicious or when they are a victim of a crime so we can respond quickly and attempt to apprehend nd identify the perpetrator whom commited the crime. I hope this was helpful and feel free to contact dcpi with any further inquiries.

Williamsburg is a neighborhood that is in a transformative period. It is a neighborhood that has been undergoing the process of gentrifaction for over a decade. It is traditionally a very rough neighborhood. But at the same time you have huge developments and new boutique buildings on every block.
In many cases the building is dispruptive to the neighborhood. poorly built buildings, and ever changing demporaphic. Not unsimilar to Richard Prices view of the LES, but with more yuppies. In williamsburg we have the poor to the rich, people of all colors and ethnic backrounds and a glut of thai restaurants and a lack or respect for the history and architecture of the neighborhood.

Storm over SA's "archaic" mining laws.
South Africa's mining policies have been largely determined in the past by the needs of the six great mining finance houses: Anglo American and De Beers, Genmin, Anglovaal, Goldfields, JCI, and Rand Mines. While these policies have been the source of much of South Africa's wealth, they have also directly created a great deal of the social and economic abuse associated with the apartheid regime.
"The mining industry in this country is the seed-bed of industrialisation and is also the fountainhead of the vices that were refined by the National Party," says Mr Kglama Motlanthe, Secretary General of the Miners Union (NUM). "Whether you're looking at detention without trial, whether you're looking at single sex hostels and compounds, these are found in the mining industry and were copied by the then Government," he adds.
Mr Motlanthe says the time is now ripe to "overhaul the archaic practices that obtain in the mines and we need Government intervention to do so."
For Mr Nelson Mandela's Government, this has been a thorny issue. The large mining houses, indeed most of the white-owned industrial sector, have been warning the Government that unless union pressure is resisted, the economy could go into a tailspin.
To the unions, particularly the NUM, the time for a comprehensive change of legislation is overdue. The Government has been dropping heavy hints to the mining industry, urging it to reform itself.
This is not good enough for the NUM: "Left to its own designs, the mining industry is incapable of changing. To them a good deal is a deal where they win 100%. They have this uneven contest, if you like, with the workers out there. I don't think they're capable of changing unless they're nudged quite hard by the Government."
So far, the "hard nudge" from Government has come in the form of a commitment to major policy and legislative changes within a tight timetable. While it is unlikely the timetable will be adhered to with the volume of work passing through the South African Parliament, all parties are agreed that change must and will come, as much through discussion and consensus as through legal instruments.
Meanwhile, the NUM can celebrate at least one victory. The Leon Enquiry into Health and Safety, commissioned after three years of intense pressure from the NUM, published a damning indictment in May this year. The report, which ran to 2,600 pages, detailed the unsafe and often inhuman conditions in many of South Africa's mines and drew attention to the high levels of inadequately recorded occupational diseases among mineworkers.
Since the Health and Safety law is part of the Minerals Act, changes to this law will also require the developing of a new mining policy Act.
Some in the industry are anxious to prevent a confrontation between the mining houses and labour.
Mr Marcel Golding, MP and Chair of the Mining and Energy Sub Committee explains: "The basic thrust of the Leon Commission report has been accepted and a task team has been established: It is drafting the law, which will be negotiated by the tripartite bodies, the Government, the National Union of Miners and the employers. By early next year, we will have a new health and safety law implemented in the country, and over the next six or seven months we'll debate and finalise this."
The Mining and Energy Policy Centre (MEPC), is a key body in advising on a new mining policy. It identifies one of the major issues now as a lack of new ideas from the mining giants. Reactive rather than proactive responses are the order of the day, says Dr John Bristow: "Practically every mining executive is saying that the industry has real problems but no one's saying let's put some new ideas on the table. Its trying to work out a problem from the status quo and I don't think we can do that any more."
The MEPC, Chaired by Mr Cyril Ramaphosa, Secretary General of the NUM and currently ANC Secretary General is actively researching new models for the mining industry. It has looked in detail at the Canadian Whitehorse Mining Initiative, a model which operates on consensus between all the involved bodies to produce a "socially, economically and environmentally sustainable and prosperous mining industry". It is perhaps the best practice to be found in the industry, covering environmental questions and community needs as well as industry development. Whether it will be adopted remains to be seen.
Commission of inquiry
The ANC has also proposed a commission of inquiry into South Africa's diamond mining industry, to be announced later this year. Mr Marcel Golding has outlined the brief of the Inquiry: "I think there's a recognition that the mining industry has to change in its broadest aspects, certainly with respect to the diamond industry. Apart from the beneficiation side in the future, on the production side, if one's going to achieve the objectives of greater black participation and develop greater equity in the industry, then some reform is necessary".
The Inquiry will look at the production side of diamonds, foreign exchange earnings for South Africa, and equity of participation for black people. The ANC also wants to know how South Africa links into the world diamond market.
At present, De Beers Consolidated mines 93% of South Africa's diamonds in its six land based mines and offshore operations. Its other interests include the South African elements of the CSO and companies manufacturing synthetic diamond and abrasive products. All other De Beers interests are incorporated in Switzerland as De Beers Centenary.
A key element in these inquiries is the need for transparency within industry, says Mr Golding: "Greater transparency does not apply only to diamonds; there's a whole range of sectors in South Africa that operate in that way - oil is another example. We've got to break the tradition where business is not open."
That the mining industry needs reform is beyond question. Apart from the mining houses' need to improve productivity, there is an urgent need to create jobs and improve the conditions for workers.
Thus far, South African mineworkers have been little more than "human batteries" plugged into the system and disposed off at will. Changing the mining system will go a long way to severing the residual roots of the old discredited apartheid order.
The old system is no longer even productive for the mining houses who benefited so substantially from the cheap labour. High-technology mining needs a skilled workforce and miners now want not only their existing skills formally recognised but also the education and training denied them by the apartheid system.

© Copyright 2015 Clayton News Daily
By Greg GelpiA fight broke out involving at least a dozen students at North Clayton High School Friday and the school had a school safety plan, but so far the plan has not been approved by the state. In fact, none of Clayton County's 53 schools have had their safety plans approved. The state made it law that every school have a school safety plan in 1999. All Clayton County public schools have safety plans, but of the more than 1,300 schools with plans approved by the Georgia Emergency Management Agency, none are from Clayton County. "Our plans are being reviewed by (GEMA)," Jack Warren, the school system's administrative assistant for policies/legislation, said. "We will be revising them as needed. We have a number of them that are approved." Warren points out all county schools submitted plans to GEMA for approval and he said they meet all the requirements for approval. Lisa Ray, a spokeswoman with GEMA, said no Clayton County school safety plans have been approved by GEMA. The Clayton County Emergency Management Agency, instead, is reviewing the school safety plans before sending them to GEMA for approval, Ray said. "This is more rare than common, but we welcome it," she said. "They've given their stamp of approval to eight." Those plans are being passed to GEMA for the state agency's approval. The plans will be reviewed again in the spring for the coming school year. These plans are for responses to more than just criminal activity, Warren said. The plans are also for severe weather and other emergencies. As part of National Severe Weather Week, the school system is rehearsing its safety plans with fire and tornado drills. School safety plans weren't an issue at Friday's school "brawl," Clayton County Police Capt. Jeff Turner said. There is no set procedure in place for "pandemonium" as that at North Clayton. Student resource officers and special tactical units train and rehearse procedures for specific problems, such as bomb threats or gunmen. Friday, though, didn't require specialized procedures to be implemented. Tossing a plastic bottle around during a school assembly at North Clayton led to fights breaking out in the school gym and cafeteria. Clayton County police arrested 12 students involved in the fight. "Our objective at that point is just to get in there and restore order," Turner said. The school was placed in lockdown to prevent the "all-out fight" from escalating, he said. "When the school has that much pandemonium going on, the school goes into lockdown," Turner said. A male teacher suffered an injury to his arm, but no other injuries were reported.

Jan 12 PS - Day 1
Welcome to the Studio's first Progressive Scrap in 2012!
This month we will be using theStudio's beautiful January Mega Kit Winter Wonderland:
Here are the rules:
This progressive scrap will go on for eight days. For the first seven days I will give you a download link with two or three pieces you are required to use according to this day's instructions. You have two days (Saturday and Sunday) to complete the last step (or catch up) and upload your finished layout.
The first download is free, you will get the others via pm after completion of the day before. You can join in until Wednesday, but you have to complete the days to get the next download - and your last layout should be done and posted by Sunday night!
You can recolor and/or crop the pieces or change their opacity but you have to use them as specified in each day's instructions and once placed are not allowed to move them. Make sure you save your layout in a .psd format so you are able to place new pieces below others if you should wish to do so.
On Sunday night I will post a poll to choose the winner who gets this month's Mega for free! There's also a participation prize for all of you who finish their layouts - you will get a coupon for 1 $ off this Mega.
I will host a QP exchange for those of you who'd like to gather a great matching QP album - if you plan to participate, please make sure you create your layout at 12 x 12 in, 300 dpi!
You will get five papers to begin with, they were created by Aimee aka Aimee Harrison Design Studios, Boo aka BooLand Designs, Darlene aka Darlene H Designs, Min aka Deli Scraps and Maureen aka Let Me Scrapbook:
(Click image to download)
Instructions: Use three of the five papers to create your background!
If you have questions regarding the instructions, feel free to post them in this thread.
Upload your layout to the Progressive Scrap Gallery, then come back here and post the link to your layout so I can pm you on Monday with the download link for Day 2!
See you tomorrow!
