I wholeheartedly agree with this sentence.
I blame a lot but not all on the prior generations, parents who didn't teach their kids, the value of hardwork and blame the spoiled kids who didn't listen or refused to learn.
TSA is the security theater all the way. They aren't designed to solve problems or preventing anything.
I always thought of the TSA as more of a Visual for people to think they were being protected just to make people feel good rather than an actual solution to a problem.

I believe their FAQ says it will have a subscription on release.
played it today. Not bad as long as its free cause if not i can just play RoM. same thing different name.
Posted 30 December 2010 - 14:19
It's like WoW, world is open (which was annoying as hell in the Beta because the lower level zones were overcrowded and everyone was fighting over spawns), with instanced zones that I assume work similar to raids (only one was available when I played the beta and I didn't nolife the game to get to it).
How does it play in the idea of instancing, is it like Guild Wars where the towns are grouped however, the world is an instance or is it open world like WoW?

I never made it to the raid, but 3 hours is a long time for a level 20 raid, perhaps it simply doesn't feel like an "endgame activity" in the beta because he knows it's only a beta and what he was playing was only the endgame for the beta? Basically he played one of the highest level areas in the beta and he presumes raiding won't be an endgame activity because of how populated that raid area was due to it being towards the end of the beta?
oh that reminds me a friend said there's a 3 hour raid instance at level 20. sounds absolutely retarded to me, but he he championed how good it was because he got 2 levels in it and "raiding isn't just an endgame activity" in rift. idk personally i can't sit still for 3 hours straight without going afk for a few minutes and especially at level 20.
people seem to think based on beta that leveling will be fast. i'm not sure what the level cap is but in my experience leveling slows down after beta caps.
the rifts sound kinda cool but also kind of annoying. basically a rift spawns and mobs run out and if players don't fight them they spread to quests hubs and kill all your quest givers. and if players continue to ignore them they spread to the towns and kill everything there too. players are supposed to group up to beat them but if they don't there are npc's you can hire to help you fight them solo.

the guy who said the thing about the raids at level 20... idk i can't trust his opinion sometimes. he said STO beta was bad and then bought an LTS for it and CO, and mostly just played dress up in STO.

I don't think leveling will slow much, but I know the cap will go up. I want to say up to around level 50 or 70 or something but that could be a number I am thinking from a different game. Pretty sure something about the cap was talked about in their FAQ or forums or somewhere though.
Rifts were kinda stupid during the beta, any time a rift opened up you had like 10+ people in the area that swarmed to it. Even without being in a party the players generally outnumbered the monsters 2:1 so the rifts always closed quickly. There was a point during the first beta where there was talk of a rift taking over a town, but I didn't make it that far into the game.
Posted 30 December 2010 - 16:37
Yeah, most MMOs generally have an experience curve where the higher level you get the slower you level. I suppose it is no different in Rift, it's just that the beta cap is low enough you don't feel that much of a slowdown.
idk, people ALWAYS says x mmo has fast leveling in beta based on how fast the early levels go, and almost every single mmo goes live and the cap lifted and as soon as people get past the beta cap they start moaning about how grindy it is and how much it slows down. that being said there4 are always the .5% of players who grind out to max level in 2 weeks after launch no matter how grindy it is.
I never made it past level 12 or so because I kept making different characters to try out different class combinations, but every rift I was in had at least 10+ people killing stuff in the rift, these were also areas though where there were generally 20+ people you could see from any specific spot on the map and you had to fight over respawning mobs. The higher level areas probably were much more barren and rifts were probably more troublesome. The rifts are a great idea, and I like the way the landscape changes when they appear, but in the beta at least they were super easy to destroy and really weren't much fun.
that's interesting and seems to contradict whtat the guy said about his beta experience with the rifts. but that's the guy who talk about level 20 raids too.

Greenpeace activists take action in Israel's Hadera port to stop the unloading of a coal shipment, as the coal carrier "Augusta" arrives from the Ukraine. They climb a massive crane and unfurl a Hebrew and English language banner reading "Coal Kills." This action is part of an ongoing campaign to stop the construction of a new coal-fired power plant in Ashkelon, Israel.

I was going to pick Wood next, no idea why they shouldn't be available.
I don't see why they wouldn't be in the draft, given (as I understand it) all players are to be drafted :S
But given the earliest I would have picked them would have been right now (and that would have been too late since Johnners just picked them) - I will drop the issue. But note my point for future drafts that qns should be answered.
Will have my pick ready in a jiffy. Sorry for being pedantic.

Management Discussion and Analysis (for the quarter)
Lean season, economic slowdown and consequential dip in industry passenger traffic coupled with high fuel prices and rupee depreciation vis-a-vis the US dollar has affected the overall results of Jet group. Fuel rates increased around 17% YOY, a portion of this was passed on to the passengers in the form of increase in fuel surcharge during the quarter. Full impact of this will be seen from the current quarter. Overall increase in yields have helped the airline to post an operating profit of 6,668 million (US$ 126.2 million) versus an operating profit of 1,466 INR Mio (US$ 29.9 Mio). Focus on ancillary revenues has started showing results; gone up over 20% YOY. There were instances of aircraft on ground, as certain routes were discontinued during the quarter, the impact of this is approximately US $ 6 million. These aircraft will be leased out in the next few months. In the current scenario, Jet Airways has managed to remain competitive through series of planned steps, such as sale / sale and lease back of aircraft, discontinuing loss making routes and stringent cost control measures. The ongoing initiatives will augment well for the airlines performance in the quarters to come. Mr. Nikos Kardassis, Chief Executive Officer, Jet Airways (I) Ltd said, "Improvement in yields has helped the group to post an operating profit, however, lean season, slowdown in industry passenger traffic due to weakened economic scenario, high fuel prices coupled with high rupee depreciation versus the dollar has pulled the overall results down. We have focused on removing loss making routes, network rationalisation and selectively adding routes which made economic sense. The result of these initiatives are quite evident from the improvement in operating profit YOY by Rs. 5,202 million (US$ 98.4 million) for Jet group. We believe and strive for customer satisfaction by investing into effective marketing strategies and proactive initiatives resulting in enhancing our guest experience. Jet airways roots for customer delight while building industry benchmark for service excellence and supreme quality."
Highlights on Domestic operations
Domestic operations of Rs. 17,008 million or US$ 321.8 million accounted for 41% of total revenues. Domestic traffic for Jet Airways went down by 6.6% for the quarter vs same period last year. (Industry traffic went down by 10.3%) Seat factors are 65.6% in Q2 FY13 and ASKMs are 3,035 million in Q2 FY13 The EBITDAR margin is at 9.3% in Q2 FY13 versus negative EBITDAR margin of 8.1% in Q2 FY12
Highlights on International operations
International operations of Rs. 24,898 million or US$ 471.1 million accounted for 59% of total revenues. Over this period, the achieved seat factor on the International routes was consistently around 80% reflecting the maturing nature of the International operations. For the quarter, International traffic went down by 2.1% for the quarter vs. same period last year, while we achieved seat factor of 79.7%. The EBITDAR margins are at 20.0% in Q2FY13 vs. 13.6% in Q2 FY12
The peak season ahead will help the airline to improve yields further. The forward bookings trends for the quarter are quite encouraging. Our focus remains to discontinue loss making routes and selectively introduce additional flights/ new flights on the sectors contributing to the bottom line. In this ensuing peak season more of business class seats will be on offer. Signs of improvement in Crude oil prices and rupee depreciation are seen. We continue with our cost reduction initiatives ex-fuel. Sale / Sale and Lease back of aircraft to be done in the forthcoming quarters. All these should help to improve the bottom line further and generate cash. Focus on various avenues of Ancillary revenues should help to boost revenues in the quarters to come.

JACKSON (AP) — Severe weather in Mississippi on Monday knocked down the wall of a fire station, uprooted trees, severed powerlines and damaged some homes and other buildings.
Many parts of the state were under tornado warnings at some point in the day and the weather advisories remained in effect until early evening in central and south Mississippi.
National Weather Service Meteorologist Dan Byrd in Jackson said damaging winds and large hail accompanied the storm system.
A tornado warning was cancelled in DeSoto and Tunica counties at mid-day but remained in effect for other areas of north Mississippi later into later in the afternoon. Forecasters issued tornado warnings for central and south Mississippi until the evening.
In Tunica County, a severe thunderstorm uprooted trees, severed power lines and produced heavy rain from Dundee in the south to Robinsonville in the north county area, said Larry Liddell, a spokesman for Tunica County.
Liddell said the back wall of the North Tunica Fire Station was blown out by high winds, but there have been no official reports of a tornado touching down. No injuries were reported.
The Mississippi Emergency Management Agency reported damages in Tunica and five other counties — DeSoto, Marshall, Quitman, Tate and Union. In DeSoto, Quitman and Union a few homes were damaged, but in other areas the damage is limited to agricultural buildings and trees.
Temperatures were not expected to drop too far after the cold front moves through. Temperatures should be in the 60s on Tuesday with lows in the 40s.
The warm weather should be back by Thursday, returning to the 70s.

After years of sitting vacant, an Alabama-based developer plans to breathe new life into the Renaissance building in the heart of Destin.
"We are completely remodeling everything," said Ashley Gleaton, property manager for Redmont Properties. Gleaton is overseeing this project on behalf of JME Building and Development LLC.
The work is the latest evidence of an old Destin redevelopment boom that has been long predicted by city leaders and developers.
With a mixture of townhomes and retail space, the Renaissance building, as it's been called, was once a flourishing center of activity along U.S. Highway 98.
The building, which boasted a pink-hued stucco, is split into 10 separate units that consist of retail space on the bottom floor and townhomes on the top. All 10 units are owned by Harbor Destin Development LLC, according to records from the Okaloosa County property appraiser.
Records list Rob Blue Jr. as the registered agent for Harbor Destin Development and James Elder as the manager.
Renovations on the building, which will now be called Harbor Village Townhomes, began a few weeks ago, and crews have been busy working on the interior. The exterior is going to receive a complete facelift, Gleaton said.
As for the units themselves, Gleaton said the retail spaces range from 659 square feet to 690 square feet. The townhomes are two bedrooms and 2.5 bathrooms. Retail spaces will rent for $900, while the townhomes will be $1,350.
"There will be all new electrical, fixtures, air conditioners and heaters, cabinets and appliances," Gleaton said.
Known more as an "eyesore" over the past few years than a thriving retail center, city leaders in Destin say they are excited to see changes coming to the property, which has been vandalized and home to squatters.
"I don't understand why it's sat so long," Councilman Larry Williges said. "It's a great location."
Councilwoman Sandy Trammell said she remembers when the building was a hub of commerce years ago.
"I think that the idea and the building was almost before its time," she said. "I would love to see it come back to life.
"We have so much more traffic in that area now, which wasn't there in the past," she added.
Gleaton said they expect work to be completed by this summer. Harbor Village Townhomes is located next to the Fishing Fleet Marina and ranges in addresses from 220 Harbor Blvd. to 236 Harbor Blvd.
"We're going to be up and running by June," she said. "It's doable for us."

How things change...
It wasn't all that long ago...
I can remember leaving the office, happy to jump into my car and get away from those pink, While You Were Out message slips and phone calls...
Now I leave the office, jump into my car and start making phone calls...
At what point did I trade in the peace and quiet for 24/7 phone availability - and believe I was getting a bargain?

I have a cell phone. Nothing fancy. I think it cost me 10 bucks. I buy a card every now and then to load it with minutes. The cell phone rides around in my car with me. The only time I use it is to check if there are any messages on the home phone, and I make sure I'm parked somewhere when I do that. WA has a no phone law on the books.
Besides, I'm better able to listen to all those books on CD as I do my 120 mile commute!

Since this column's inception, we've received a substantial number of questions concerning air-conditioning troubleshooting. Answering each one would take quite some time, but we will attempt to address most of them over the next few issues.
Questions like "I added some refrigerant to my Corvette, but it won't get cold—what do you think is wrong?" are almost impossible to answer without further detailed information. In an effort to help take away the mystery of A/C repair, we'll cover how you can diagnose these problems yourself.
Diagnostics are the essential first step in A/C-system servicing. To get started you'll need an A/C manifold-gauge set, a thermometer, and a leak detector. The manifold gauges will allow you to obtain more information about what is taking place inside of the system.
The basic manifold-gauge set should have three hoses. The hoses are color coded to help indicate which service ports they're intended for. The hose intended for the low-pressure service port is blue, and the hose intended for the high-pressure port is red. The yellow middle hose can be attached to a refrigerant can or cylinder for charging. It can also be used when a vacuum pump is needed to evacuate air and moisture from the system. Your manifold-gauge set will have corresponding gauges and control knobs for both low and high pressure. The gauges and knobs are usually the same color as the hoses, to indicate which is which.
The low-side pressure gauge should be on the left side of the gauge set, just above where the blue hose attaches. The low-side gauge serves a dual purpose: It can be used to measure pressure or vacuum. The numbers around the outside of this gauge indicate pressure in pounds per square inch (psi), and the numbers near the bottom of the gauge (in red) indicate vacuum in inches of mercury (in Hg). The smaller scales near the center of the gauge list the temperature relationship of different refrigerants. Regardless of which refrigerant is being used, the scale designated as pounds per square inch is the one used to read system pressure when charging and diagnosing an A/C system.
The high-side gauge should be on the right side of the gauge set, just above where the red hose attaches. The high-pressure gauge is used to measure the high pressure in the system. Remember, never open the high-side control knob when the vehicle's A/C compressor is running. This could result in the pressure from the high side causing the can of refrigerant to explode. When attaching or disconnecting the A/C gauges, the vehicle should always be off.
The initial reading we'll take is the static-pressure reading. With the vehicle off, attach the gauge hoses to the corresponding service ports. The gauges should read the same (or be extremely close) on both the low- and high-pressure sides (Image A). This reading indicates that both sides are equalized. Static pressure will not show you if your system is fully charged with refrigerant. Static pressure is only an indicator that there is some refrigerant in the system, and that you can proceed with your A/C-performance test.
The purpose of checking the static pressure is to ensure that there is sufficient pressure in the system to engage the low-pressure switch and operate the compressor. There also must be enough refrigerant in the system to perform leak testing if necessary. Temperature plays a big role in static-pressure readings. The higher the ambient temperature, the higher the static pressure will read. If static pressures are under 50 psi, you should consider that the system is low. The system will need to be recharged before proceeding with any accurate performance testing or diagnostics.
The best way to ensure exactly how much refrigerant is in the system is to recover all of the refrigerant, introduce a vacuum, install A/C-leak dye, and then recharge the system to the factory-specified amount of refrigerant. Most vehicles will have a label under the hood that specifies what type and how much refrigerant that particular vehicle's A/C system should have installed (Image B).
With the gauges installed, start the vehicle, then turn the A/C on at the maximum recirculation position with the blower motor on high and the vehicle's doors closed. (Open the driver-side window just enough to allow you to reach into the car if the vehicle becomes locked.) Using these settings will help keep the engine and exhaust heat from causing abnormal heat load on the evaporator, and should give you a more accurate temperature reading. A thermometer should be positioned in the center vent, so temperature can be checked periodically during testing (Image C).

Investigate the rise and fall of civilizations.
Why should I major in History? A common question whose answer is as varied as the personalities of the students who major in History. Our grads have found careers in historical societies, education, business, finance, computer programming, law, social work, journalism, counseling, and civil service.
History majors can pursue so many different career options - not only because of the writing, analytical, and critical thinking skills the major instills, but also because of the exposure students receive through Lycoming's liberal arts distribution program. This broad-based education, which includes the sciences, languages, mathematics, arts, and humanities, prepares our students for the 21st century and offers numerous employment and graduate school opportunities.

Pursuing the Camera subject...
Kirk writes:
The LEGO Co. had an interesting response to the LEGO camera question Jim Kelly asked them at the FLL World Festival:
3. Is there a plan to create a cheap (<100$) camera sensor for autonomous robot operation?I would turn the question around and ask: what would you really want to do with a 'camera sensor'?
Reading between the lines, it seems the LEGO Co. is looking for a convincing argument(s) to create a new camera.
We could help the LEGO Co. by providing them some useful information for the development of a new LEGO camera. (Once all the comments are received, they will be forwarded to the LEGO Co.).
Please comment what improvements you would make to the original LEGO camera and its software, and how much you would be willing to pay for the new LEGO camera. Also, "what would you really want to do with a 'camera sensor'?"
I agree with Kirk wanting to pursue this, so if you've got something to add regarding the camera, please do so here... Kirk and I will try to forward this information back to LEGO in 2-3 weeks and see what they say.

Just dreaming, I'd like to use a camera for wireless internet, remote surveillance. I realize that would probably reqire other hardware (like Charmlab's Qwerk controller, for example).
But wireless, remote surveilance from your NXT is the dream for me.

Wow, I can think of several awesome uses for a wireless camera if Lego made one - I'm thinking of a wireless camera that has Vision Command-type abilities.
- Motion detection: a camera would be able to detect and track motion much better than an Ultrasonic sensor. For example, an Ultrasonic sensor can't track an object moving around, but a camera could do it no problem. This would be really useful for making robots that could follow other robots or people, for example.
- Color sensing: camera would be very handy for detecting different colors in several different places.
- User-control features: a camera would open up WAY more possibilities for user-controlled robots, by giving the user a view of the surroundings.
- Combo Sensor: A camera can act as a light sensor, color sensor, motion sensor, and object sensor (?) all in one. This greatly increases the abilities of a robot, as it lets the robot have more sensors.
Is that good? I've been dreaming about a wireless camera like Vision Command since I first got the RIS - I would probably be willing to pay about $100 for one if Lego made it.
- Apr 28, 2007, 10:20:00 AM
I built a three wheeled robot that is operated remotely using a second Lego Intelligent Brick and Ultratechnic's Tilt Sensor. I want to be able to run the robot from place to place and be able to see where it is going on the Remote's screen. If Lego would produce the Camera Sensor that would do the above I would be one of the first to buy it. <$100 would be a good price.
- Apr 28, 2007, 10:26:00 AM
I could use the camera sensor to make obstacle avoidance systems based on robot vision. Motion detection, face detection, control based on light sources. I could even think of processing the information gathered from the camera sensor and feeding it to a neural network or a cellular automata to do a lot of things.
Image processing, Machine Learning, Robot Cooperation... There are a lot of things that could be done!!!

So nobody has any good uses for a LEGO camera?
Remote surveillance and remote operation are easily done using any wireless camera. What is the added value from LEGO, easy mounting and power from the NXT?
Motion detection, color sensing and object recognition would be cool. But that will require the camera sensor to have a lot of memory and a powerful processor. Sounds spendy. How do you program the camera, and how would this information be conveyed to the NXT? What is the format and transport mechanism? What would a LEGO solution give you that you can't do right now with a wireless camera and vision processing software on your laptop?

Basically I want a CMUCam2...getting that to communicate w/ the NXT, and keeping it under $100 would be difficult.
So if that's not the option, here are the capabilities I want:
1. Can draw power from both Battery pack and NXT brick (motor port A...Thanks Philo!)
2. Can communicate with Brick in a closed loop. Sensor port 1.
3. Has ability to send information to a computer/video monitor.
4. Vision Command capabilities w/ on board processing.
5. I want it to match JP Brown's Rubic's Cube solver...without the computer...make it just the camera and the NXT brick.

The open-source AVRCam is what I had in mind. All it does is on-the-fly blob recognition. This does NOT require a memory big enough for a single frame! Other algorithms which can be implmented w/o frame buffer are discrete cross-correlation (track camera motion) and probably more. The BOM of such device in mass-production, surface-mounted electronics and manufacturing in the east (as all Lego electronics..) would substaintaly less then 100USD. The advance of mobile camera technology can allow putting better, higher resolution camera chips at low cost. It would be nice to have video streaming (e.g. MPEG4 compressed) via RS485 port 4 and BT to a PC/Mac but not a must. Also object recognition will be great, maybe with something simpler like using algorithms from augmented reality open-source packages like ARTag.

To try to put the camera issue in perspective, though I may be incorrect, I can see 2 main options for LEGO to pursue if they decide to release a camera:
1. Have the camera with a built in processor for on-board image analysis to directly command the NXT to respond. (It may be useful to have the camera and processor separate so the camera can be replaced/upgraded.) Also the camera should have wireless communication to a computer for observation by the user.
2. Have the camera send wireless images to the computer for image analysis or observation by the user (no on-board processor for the camera on the robot).
I would be happy if LEGO would sell any of the above camera systems, but I prefer (1). I would be willing to pay up to $150 USD for (1), but only up to $100 for (2). My key point is that the camera has to be wireless! (This would probably require LEGO to offer some kind of wireless receiver as a separate purchase.)
More importantly, what LEGO would have to do is have a "plug and play" solution, as they would be marketing this to children, primarily. Not too many children could be able to program the vision processing softwares that are currently available, and get the vision program to command the robot what to do. (Many adults are looking for a "plug and play" solution, as well). This is what a LEGO SOLUTION COULD PROVIDE that no one else can currently provide.
Equally important, the vision system should be programmable in NXT-G with the inclusion of some basic image analysis blocks, such as for motion, object, and colour detection. Also, the Mindstorms community could create their own vision blocks (facial expression recognition, etc). National Instruments has a machine vision software package that is an add-on to LabVIEW, hence it makes sense for LEGO to have them produce the NXT-G machine vision add-on.
And if LEGO will not have a camera, I want to at least have an NXT-G vision software add-on that can work seamlessly with NXT-G, and be compatible with a variety of camera systems.

You know, there was a Mindstorms camera for use with the RIS that you could use as a sensor. I don't have it but I've heard it had built-in IR so the RCX could send msg's to it so it would start filming or take a pic that was sent via a USB cable to the PC. It had a software that made you able to program your bot to use the camera sensor as either a "distance" sensor like thing and as a color sensor. It has a BAD resolution in pixels and the quality of the pix and movies was poor. But ofcourse, rather that then nothing. I only hope it use BT instead of USB to send movies and pix to the PC so it could drive where ever you want it to as long as it stays in range. I also hope they make a add-on or a separate software that let's you take advantege of the camera sensor and let's you program the robot so it could be automnus. Just my cents.

I will also add:
There is one thing for certain, that LEGO would have to offer a better camera than the original camera release (Vision Command) before anyone would start buying it, or at least myself.
The new camera, at minimum, would have to be wireless (something with a higher transmission rate than BT, such as Wi-Fi), have a higher resolution, work in low light conditions, and have improved vision software.
Not necessary, but I would like it to have infrared LED's for night vision, and a built in microphone. The signal from the microphone should also be transmitted wirelessly to the computer (in surveillance purposes, its nice to not just see, but hear too).
To help keep the cost of the camera expansion kit down, no need to supply any Technic parts, as was done with Vision Command.

Powered via the NXT (using Philo's method would work).
Have it connect to a sensor port on the NXT? That depends on what I want the NXT to do with it. I don't think the NXT brick is powerful enough to handle much of the video processing.
I would like to see a package deal.
A LEGO form factor small color camera. A small USB device to receive signals from the camera and feed them into the PC (these are already available). And a good communication protocol to send commands and input back to the NXT wirelessly (bluetooth would work, it just needs to be simple to implement).
But, I would also like to see this capable of handling multiple camera signals.
I think that starts getting pricey.
- Apr 30, 2007, 11:02:00 PM
I don't want the camera to send the signal back to a PC. I want it on a robot connected as a sensor to the Intelligent Brick which would transmit the picture to another Intelligent Brick used as a remote thorugh Bluetooth. That is what I want a camera sensor to be able to do. I don't want to have to carry a laptop around to see where the robot is going as I am remotely operating a robot. It would mean two way communication- remote Brick communicating angle of movement for the robot Brick and the robot Brick sending pictures back to the remote control Brick.

What I would really like from the camera function would be just to have it take a picture when the program states. Then store it on the NXT, and finally allows to take it off of the NXT and turn it into a jpeg. If it was a nice camera I would pay around $50 or so.

For an NXT camera sensor I would like it to take a picture when the program states. Then store it as a file on the bot. Lets you take it off when you plug it into your computer and will store it as a jpeg. i would pay around $50 or so looking the cost of the other camera sensors out there. Hopefully the design of the product would be as nice as the starting sensors that the NXT came with.

Usually, in the artistic world, your culture and race determine what kind of art you present. For example, the black race has developed Hip Hop from their roots of the beat and from the oppression they have faced. Hip Hop holds roots in the traditional storytelling and has taken form as a way to express the oppression they have faced in America. Also, Hip Hop has transcended through the United States to countries in Europe and in Latin America.
Taking Hip Hop as an exampke, it is easy to see how gender and sexuality play out. To be included and taken seriously women have to make themselves more masculine and be able to prove themselves on that male level. The other option is to sexualize themselves completely as sexy women that rap. Usually the poor, blackfolks make up the Hip Hop world in their struggle for equality ad respect.

The more things change in the Republican race, the more they stay the same. Punditry had it that Tuesday's primaries and caucuses would be conclusive, because punditry yearns for the conclusive when it can't have the purely chaotic. "The beginning of the end," was the result that commentators anticipated, by which they meant the final collapse of the final anti-Romney incarnation—as precipitated by Rick Santorum's stall in Michigan last week—and Romney's consolidation of the nomination. Forty-eight hours later, nothing is different at all. Romney is still the front-runner and the only candidate whose ultimate victory is fathomable, even as more and more he appears the weakest nominee of either party since the 1980s.
What's most striking about this—not in the sense that it's surprising, which it isn't, but rather in the sense that it's so characteristic—is that nothing rocks this race, nothing shifts the inherent dynamic. The race is hermetically sealed, impervious to untamed truths in the way that ideological rigidity dictates, in the way that orthodoxy insists on bending perceptions of the outside world to fit preconceptions. If the Republican Party alienates the independent vote as much as it seems intent on doing, it will be because of a collective disconnect with the rest of the country that barely skirts the sociopathic, and to that end, this has been the month when one of the great political parties of the Western World in the last 200 years, a party co-founded by the nation's greatest president, revealed itself to be in the grip of a sexual hysteria. Gonzo radiohead Rush Limbaugh's character assassination of not just one young woman but, by the simplest of extrapolations, tens of millions of women belied once and for all the right's contention that the recent contraception controversy is about religious freedom. Though just enough bungling by the Obama administration allowed the ruse some oxygen for a while, the contention was always specious given Santorum's promise, in an interview last October, to address the "libertine" nature of birth control from the Oval Office.
When the hysteria peaked with l'affaire Limbaugh last week, there was general bewilderment over whether Rush understood that the birth-control pill is not female Viagra, that a woman takes the same daily dosage of estrogen and progestin regardless of whether she's going to have sex one time, a thousand times, or zero times (entirely leaving aside the fact that three out of five women take the pill for reasons having nothing to do with sex or pregnancy). Perhaps indeed it's true that someone previously investigated for an oxycontin addiction would be of the mind-set to think of the pill in these terms; more likely, however—since no clear-headed person ever has called Limbaugh stupid—is that he understands the basics of contraception but wasn't going to let them get in the way of invoking for his program's listeners the sexual spectacle of orgiastic women caught on videotape. Thus the Limbaugh comments about Sandra Fluke transparently were not those of a naïf but rather a bully at best and a pervert at worst, with many shades of creep lying between the two. When women of whatever political stripe heard Limbaugh, they heard several millennia of familiar male piggery.
Just on cravenly political grounds, the response of the right should be more stupefying than it was. John McCain (whose condemnation of Limbaugh has been bracingly unequivocal and dishearteningly rare among conservatives) polled 43 percent of all women voters in 2008. At the rate the Republican Party is going, it will struggle to get 33 percent in 2012, leaving the party to try scaring up seven out of ten men (whom women outvote). That none of this had any apparent impact on Tuesday night's result, that the candidates showed no more cognizance of what happened these past eight days with the female electorate than they did the Tuesday before or the Tuesday before that, and that Romney's opportunism was so determinedly unfazed may mean—in terms of Republican prospects in November—that the more things stay the same, the more they change, and not for the better.

There is a petition asking Clear Channel to discontinue Limbaugh's radio show here:
If you haven't already signed the petition, please consider joining the 435,164 of us who have signed as of this posting and over the last 48 hours. Reading the comments at the bottom of the page also gives me hope that we can make it more difficult for people like Rush and their hate speech on the airwaves.

Are you also going to petition HBO to remove Bill Maher for calling conservative women c***s, or ask Obama to return the one-million this misogynist raised for Obama's campaign? Hello?....crickets. How about getting David Letterman off the air for claiming Sarah Palin's daughter went to Yankee stadium to get knocked up by a Yankee player? Knock, knock...anyone home, hello?

Let me complicate a premise--that these goings-on are actually repelling women voters. The exit polls from Ohio and Tennessee seem to indicate that slightly fewer women than men are turning out, but if one disaggregates those who are by marital status, one finds that Santorum, the guy who's put contraception front and center, is actually doing *better* among married women than the other candidates are. It's *single* women who are fleeing him in droves, as, indeed, it has been single women who have generally driven the "gender gap" when it has appeared. One complicating factor, to be sure, is the Paul campaign, which is drawing lots of young single guys to the ballot box and is thus inflating the female percentages of the other candidates. But nonetheless, Santorum is doing just fine among the married women who are showing up at the polls--and, one suspects, because there's a large but unacknowledged *intragender* divide among women.

David it is best to keep Romney on the radar for voting him off in NOV-women have no way to vote against this guy unless he is the candidate or any of them are candidates in November. so I discount any info being guessed at this time about the power of women- young and old- except the wealthy in 1% they can get anything done at any price so have no concerns about issues like this just protecting their $

It seems these people are just lacking in some native smarts. I work in a high-tech environment with a broad spectrum of political beliefs. Also a broad spectrum of innate intelligence. Yesterday a network administrator could not find a virtual hard drive installation path for a virtual guest. He came to me for information which I readily gave him and his response was that he would have never thought to look there. This guy has been building and configuring Windows servers for twenty years. I guess being a rethugnocant isn't just about the political arena.

I guess I could swallow your premise whole, IF, I believed women were the one-dimensional simpletons your hypothesis demands. So women cannot see that Sandra Fluke is a whinny cry-baby "activist?" And they cannot see that Obama is trying to play this like Nero played his fiddle as Rome burned? And the issue is clearly about not demanding everyone else pay for your birth-control, NOT about limiting or denying birth control. If you always eat like a pig and get fat, must I pay for your stomach-stapling? I am sure you get the analogy.

Portrait of a Woman (possibly Mrs. James [Hester Stanton Plaisted] Gooch)
John Smibert's Boston portraits were often plain in composition and color, and stiff in expression (like this work). Nevertheless, for a time he was the most experienced and influential artist in New England. The Scottish-born Smibert had trained in London and traveled through Europe before settling in Boston. His studio and "colour shop" (art-supply store) contained his copies after important European works of art. Such images were crucial in inspiring and instructing early colonial artists, who had little access to art instruction and no museum collections at their disposal.

I think they're brilliant. Very well written, with characters you can become fond of, and are very funny.

I got On the Loose the other day, and read it last weekend. Took it to my friend, Mary, on Monday morning, and she greeted me with "Look what I've got. A new James Patterson".
I then showed her the B&M book, and she was torn as to which one to start first.
Bryant & May won!

Midwest Living Review
Art and nature lovers alike will enjoy this art park in Indianapolis. The 100 Acres: The Virginia B. Fairbanks Art and Nature Park consists of woodlands, meadows, wetlands and a lake. It opened in June 2010 on the site of a former gravel quarry between the Indianapolis Museum of Art and the White River. From woodland and meadow trails, visitors view a collection of artwork, including a pair of massive rings suspended overhead that on solar solstices cast a single shadow. There is also a huge, stylized human skeleton reclining in a meadow and a bubble-shape structure, Indy Island, that serves artists as a temporary floating home on the 35-acre lake. The artists sometimes row visitors out to see their place. There are 10 works in all, and like the ever-evolving natural setting, they will change over time as new artists add to the collection. Wide crushed-stone trails make for easy walking through the woods and along the lake to a visitors pavilion, slightly elevated to protect it from occasional high water. The pavilion has a meeting room and modern restrooms.
Up the hill from the park is the Indianapolis Museum of Art (a 7-10 minute walk with some steps) as well as the Lilly House and formal gardens. (The complex is on the estate of the late J.K. Lilly Jr., an Indianapolis businessman, collector and philanthropist who was the grandson of Eli Lilly, founder of Eli Lilly & Company.) Before you go, be aware that the art park is located near some iffy neighborhoods. Free parking is available at a small lot (about 40 spaces, so it fills quickly) off an exit ramp from the westbound lanes of 38th Street just west of the art museum. Other than that, the only exit is pretty awkward: one-way only, south onto White River East Drive. There is much more free parking and easier access at the art museum, but you'll have to complete the walk down to and back up from the art park. Admission is free, and the park is open dawn to dusk.

Since 2008, The Freeride World Tour has made sports history bringing together top international freeride skiers and snowboarders, men and women, competing at prestigious resorts around the world, battling for the World Champion title.
The Freeride World Tour season 2015 will start off at the mecca of freeriding, Chamonix-Mont-Blanc in France, January 24, 2015, on Brevent Ski area, then head to Austria and Fieberbrunn Kitzbüheler Alpen, January 31. One week later, the athletes will take on Vallnord Arcalis in Andorra for the first time, February 14. After the event at Vallnord Arcalis, there will be a cut for Alaska, USA, with 60 per cent of the men skiers and snowboarders qualifying.
In Alaska, there will be a longer weather window to ensure the best possible conditions, March 14-22. The exact location in Alaska is yet to be confirmed. Again 60 per cent of the riders after Alaska will qualify to the grande finale and the 20th anniversary of the Xtreme Verbier, March 28!
Highest freeride competition standards
FWT 2015 will be the 8th season that the top freeride skiers and snowboarders on the planet will be competing in a complete Freeride World Tour of the highest competition standards.
A total of 28 male skiers, 14 male snowboarders, 14 female skiers and 7 female snowboarders will start in the respective categories. After the first three events, the field starts to narrow down to only the riders with the best results and the Grande Finale in Verbier is limited to only the very top of the field.
The tour stops are carefully selected at outstanding destinations around the world each offering excellent big mountain terrain to ensure the best conditions for riders and top entertainment value for fans and media. The total prize money for this season is a record high just above 400,000 USD.
Chamonix-Mont-Blanc, France (January 24)
The tour starts off with a giant season opening freeride festival in Chamonix-Mont-Blanc. Besides it's impressive mountains that provide the stage for the riders to show the world how they have stepped it up from last year, the village transforms into a freeride fair, exhibiting the newest gear and ski and snowboard movies and offering plenty of chances to interact with the pro's.
Fieberbrunn Kitzbüheler Alpen, Austria (January 31)
The Fieberbrunn event really confirms that Austria knows how to welcome spectators to the mountains! A complete snow arena including a bar made of snow, entertainment and a festive atmosphere. This FWT stop has the live spectators in mind and dedicated fans come from near and far to be part of the party and watch this classic.
Vallnord Arcalis, Andorra (February 14)
Andorra has been one of the best kept secrets in terms of freeriding that up until now only locals and a few insiders have known about. With the FWT coming to town, the secret will be out, and the world's best riders will be leaving their mark. The new terrain will be a challenge for all the riders and is a great opportunity for the rookies to break through. Not to be missed!
Haines, Alaska (March 14)
Haines, Alaska is the epitome of freeriding. No lifts, no pistes and this makes the event unique in the FWT calendar. It's a mythical and dream destination for riders, tourists and the FWT alike. The Alaska stop also marks the first cut in the field and the lower placed riders will have to watch their peers compete from back home (the exact cuts can be seen in the calendar below).
With these two facts in mind this stop is of the upmost importance to the riders. When the stop was first announced, the female snowboarder Anne-Flore Marxer (FRA/SUI) didn't hide her determination to qualify: "I'm thrilled to compete in Alaska, having a FWT stop in Alaska is essential as it is the mecca of freeriding. The terrain is challenging yet very exciting... I definitely want to take part in it!"
Verbier, Switzerland (March 28)
The season ends with a special anniversary: the 20th edition of the Xtreme Verbier. Only the top riders in each category will have a chance to ski in this prestigious FWT final event. This stop with its intimidating competition face, the Bec des Rosses, is the ultimate challenge and honor of any freerider.
Two-time winner at the Bec des Rosses, the solid Swede, Reine Barkered (SWE) is happy to be part of the history of the "Bec": "I'm excited to have the chance to compete at the 20th anniversary of Verbier Xtreme. Verbier is the crowning point for a freerider and I will do my very best to step up to the top of the podium here a third time!"
Location Domaine skiable Brévent - Flégère , Chamonix-Mont-Blanc

Minutes from the December 13th Meeting in Arch Hall:
Bob Crisler gave an overview of the two committees involved in the 'Next Generation' of the UNL Website:
The Next Generation Committe and the Redevelopment Group.
The Committee will establish recommendations for infrastructure and guidance for the overall organization of the web at UNL.
The Committee is chaired by Brian Moore.
The Redevelopment group will develop the designs and code to be used for the re-designed website and next iteration of the UNL Templates.
The redevelopment group consists of a subgroup of the Web Developers Network, and will work in conjunction with all the members of the WDN.
Bob introduced a new tool for the WDN. A wiki for storing collaborative documention on the UNL Templates.
Aaron Coleman demonstrated an easy way to add background images to jazz up your content.
Samples of the technique:
Aaron has put together a snippets page demonstrating how to add it to your page: Coming soon.
Brett Bieber demonstrated a new tool to help convert Template pages from the old table-based templates to the new templates. This tool will be coming soon, and should help tremendously when converting an old table-based site to the CSS-Based Dreamweaver templates.
The Frontier Log Statistics have been updated to allow viewing past months of statistics. Available here:
If your web pages reside on frontier/cwis/www.unl.edu (even virtual hosts), we can give you detailed statistics for your site. Just post here or send Brett Bieber an email or IM.
Update on sIFR inclusion into the templates: Uhh. Soon.

Got into the last beta, but given that it was right between Christmas and the New Year I didn't have time to play it. They let me in again though, and I just got through playing about an hour of it.
It's WoW. With a different look.
I'm not complaining, as I love WoW. But it really is almost exactly the same. The only difference is the class customization... Though one could argue that the classes are all available in WoW as the separate talent trees. For example, the mage lets you choose between Chloromancer (balance druid), Pyromancer (fire mage), Warlock (description sounded like an affliction warlock), Necromancer (demonology warlock), Stormcaller (elemental shaman/frost mage mix), etc. So while it seems like there are a lot of options, it's really just splitting it differently. Instead of 10 classes with 3 specializations each, you have 4 classes with 8 specializations each (3 can be active at a time, I believe).
Once again, this is not a complaint, just an observation.
And being able to mix and match so much isn't necessarily a good thing. You end up with abilities that are duplicates (or otherwise extremely close). For example, I made a rogue and went with Assassination first, and then Blade Dancer. Both had a finishing move (yes, it uses combo points, just like WoW's rogue) that did exactly the same thing, except one did slightly less damage. Why? Why not make them a bit different? Perhaps give me a DoT or something on one of them, something that gives me a reason to use both. Instead I had one that I took off my action bar as soon as I realized it was completely useless.
All in all, it seems pretty cool, but I don't really see too much to differentiate it from WoW, other than the look. Is that a bad thing? Not necessarily. But what are they going to do to pull in players?
This is all just from an hour or so of playing. Maybe end-game content or PvP are different than WoW; I'm not sure yet.

Absolutely great video about Rift, made by the guy that makes the WoW tankspot videos. I must say, i'm growing to like this game. WoW has been getting stale (nothing against the game, it's great, but damn i've been playing 5 years), and the fact that if players don't take down Rifts they will get out of control and eventually take over the map is absolutely amazing. That means players will have to care about them, because eventually they will spread so far players will have no option but to fight back.

Posted 10 January 2011 - 22:40
I started playing it today, it's nice but it'll take me a while to get used to having played WoW for 4 years. I'm still only level 7, but everything is going well so far. Only gripe if I had to list one would be that my FPS is very low, even with settings turned down, and I have a GTS 450.

Yep, it is.
i'm thinking about it. there's a couple people i could play with from another forum. i love trying out new mmo's at launch too, so much rage in them and such good trolling in zone chat.
mostly depends on if it's on steam or not. anyone know? i got another xmas cheque last week so i have more gaming money.

Boxing (GN163), Arroyo's piece for the Swatch & Art Collection, is an invitation to step into the ring for a 15-rounder with a heavy-handed cartoon kangaroo. This amusing character punches well above his weight—his fists are set like he's ready to right-hook time into the future. Waving the colours of the Spanish flag, Arroyo's creation is a frank, funny and creative expression featuring back-to-basics primary colours and a firetruck-red strap offset by a Superman-blue buckle and yellow loop. With its charming, children's book image of a pugilist kangaroo whose boxing gloves indicate the time, this Swatch Art Special is a knockout!

In a rapidly changing and complex society, the vital role of leadership in all sectors is more important than it has ever been. As companies continue to adjust to ever-changing demands, cultivating a workplace environment in which employees are motivated, productive and innovative becomes vital to the growth of the organization.
Since 2008, Gonzaga University's Emerging Leaders Program (ELP) in Spokane, Washington, has been giving rising talent and high-potential corporate employees the chance to stretch the skills they already possess, making them an even more valuable asset to their teams. In short, the mission of the Emerging Leaders Program is to accelerate one's leadership development.
In this nine-month program, ELP participants collaborate with direct supervisors to create, or continue working on, a company project. In conjunction with the project, each participant undergoes thorough leadership assessments (360 and EQ), and attends six full-day courses on relevant leadership topics. At each session, participants will have the opportunity to learn directly from guest CEOs, who will present real life case-studies and offer their wisdom in navigating the complexities of leadership.
While Gonzaga University has long been known for excellent leadership programs at the undergraduate, graduate and doctoral level, the ELP grew out of a need for more leadership development within the local private sector. By extending training and mentorship opportunities to the Inland Northwest's up-and-coming corporate leaders, the Emerging Leaders Program provides the mechanisms for promising professionals to develop their self-awareness, confidence, and communication skills as leaders.

now- here's the problem. i'm able to map the share to windows (see screenshots in attached doc) and open it, but when i try to drop a file in, it hangs and then comes up with an error (says it can't connect), then the share no longer becomes accessible from 'my computer', i can no longer view the /tower page in a browser window, and the connected telnet session ceases to function. furthermore, it often will crash my network and render the wifi in the house and sometimes ethernet to my other pc useless until i power cycle the router. this has been repeated several times.
i ran ethtool and ifconfig commands in unRaid cmd before and after trying to add the file (and subsequently killing the internet) and got the syslog file from doing so if that is helpful (looks like gibberish to me). i've attached that along with screenshots and brief explanations along the way. please let me know if i can do anything else to evidence this issue! i have no idea.... it seems wild...
not sure what people know about unRaid here but a friend pointed me at this forum (sorry if the syslog file isn't useful then). other note, looking at ipconfig via cmd appears normal (to me) before and after trying to move file into the share. let me know what other information will be helpful here!
thank you!
