Sanjay Rajpoot will graduate from the University of Southern California in December and will ship the first Genesis Controllers, automation systems for hydroponic farms, early next year. He will soon complete a successful Indiegogo campaign to get the company called Sustainable MicroFarms off the ground. Sustainable MicroFarms
The UpTake: A University of Southern California senior used his college days to find the right career, surround himself with the right people and launch a business that could make hydroponics farming mainstream not just in the United States but in underdeveloped nations around the world.
Like many college students, Sanjay Rajpoot had one goal in mind after graduation from the University of Southern California: make money.
Investment banking would have done the trick. And maybe he could have started a hedge fund one day.
But he just couldn't get a nagging feeling out of his head that he was meant for something bigger, more significant and world changing than just raking in cash for himself. His humanitarian doctor parents had instilled it within him on missions to India when he was as young as 8 years old.
Fast forward to November 2013 and Rajpoot has successfully raised nearly $200,000, including $54,185 on Indiegogo this month for a system he designed to automate the most challenging aspects of hydroponic farming, improving output by 10 to 30 times. His new company, Sustainable MicroFarms, is on track to manufacture the first few hundred $750 Genesis Controllers, which he believes will introduce more Americans to the alternative farming method and will provide a more efficient way of growing fruits and vegetables in countries where huge populations suffer from malnutrition and disease.
"My mission is to provide people with sustainable access to healthy, high-quality produce and to make farming more affordable," he says.
Rajpoot's first move in finding a new life mission was to change majors, setting himself up to be the first (he thinks, in the world) to graduate with a trio of degrees in physics, chemical engineering and nanotechnology. Soon after, he learned about the aguaponic rooftop gardens used on buildings in Singapore, and wondered why they weren't used everywhere. He began to study hydroponics, the practice of growing plants in water without soil.

Wendell Walters, Crooked Former Housing Official, To Plead Guilty To Corruption Charges
Wendell Walters, a former assistant commissioner for the New York City Department of Housing Preservation, is expected to plead guilty to corruption charges this afternoon for a scam that cost the NYCDHP hundreds of thousands of dollars -- and lined the pockets of Walters and his cronies.
Walters, 49, and six others were indicted in October and hit with charges including racketeering, bribery, extortion, and money laundering for accepting bribes from private contractors in exchange for HPD contracts.
According to the U.S. Department of Justice, Walters and the other defendants -- Stevenson Dunn, Lee Hymowitz, Michael Freeman, Sergio Benitez, Robert Morales, and Angel Villalona -- raked in nearly $2 million in bribes since 2002.
The feds say Walters and a general contractor -- identified only as "John Doe" in the indictment -- would meet at a driving range in the Bronx, where Walters would have the contractor a slip of paper with a number written on it. For example, if "250" was written on the envelope, that meant Walters expected the contractor to cough up $250,000 in exchange for a contract from the NYCDHP.
The contractor would then meet with Walters a few days later and start making payments by putting cash -- often times in excess of $25,000 -- in Walters' golf bag.
During the same time period when the contractor was making the bribes, he was awarded five NYCDHP contracts with an estimated value of over $10 million.
Walters is expected to make his plea at 12:30 this afternoon. If convicted of the most serious offense, Walters faces up to 20 years in prison and would have to forfeit nearly $22 million in assets.

The Zapper can not control your iPad while you use it for keynote presentations. The only thing you can do is to plug the Zapper to your iPad and use it to control a keynote presentation on your infrared enabled Mac.

Leizhou Peninsula is located on the southwestern end of Guangdong, with the Gulf of Tonkin to the west and the 30 km wide Qiongzhou Strait to the south, separating the peninsula from Hainan Island/Province.
Geologically, basalt terraces account for 43% of the peninsula's area. The rest is divided up between marine terraces (27%) and alluvial plains (17%). Leizhou Peninsula is dotted with a few inactive volcanoes, beaches and low-lying diluvial plains.
The peninsula lies in tropical South China. The region is under the influence of continental northeastern monsoons and maritime southeastern and southwestern monsoons. Typhoons occasionally occur, both from the Pacific Ocean and the South China Sea. Annual precipitation is of 1400–1700 mm.

This year the San Francisco Mint, which traditionally produces proof coins for collectors, will strike 2012-S America the Beautiful Quarters in circulation quality — the same standard used for coins minted for everyday change which normally come out of Philadelphia or Denver.
These circulation quality quarters from San Francisco will not make it into circulation, however, as they are intended for collectors and will be offered only within various — yet to be officially announced — collectible products.
Reports on the ATB quarters site, CoinNews.net and other coin collecting news locations like CoinWorld suggest that there will at least be two products — bags and rolls filled with the 2012-S America the Beautiful Quarters. CoinWorld reports that the U.S. Mint plans to produce a total of 7 million 2012-S quarters, split out with 1.4 million for each of this year's five quarter designs.
As circulation quality products that will be available only to those who order straight from the U.S. Mint, each will carry a premium. In other words, a roll of quarters will cost more than the face value or exchange amount from a bank. Prices and products will be announced later this year, according to the U.S. Mint.
"We were looking for a new numismatic product with an "S" mark. Feedback we had received from customers was that there was always great anticipation with products that had the "S" mint mark," U.S. Mint spokesperson Michael White tells CoinNews.net.
Great anticipation for collectible products combined with limited mintages can equate to potential sell outs, notes CoinNews.
San Francisco minted 2012-S America the Beautiful Quarters will include those with reverse designs that depict El Yunque National Forest in Puerto Rico, Chaco Culture National Historical Park in New Mexico, Acadia National Park in Maine, Hawai'i Volcanoes National Park in Hawaii and Denali National Park in Alaska.
The ATB quarter series will celebrate a total of 56 national parks and other national sites between 2010 and 2021. One site to honor has already been selected for each U.S. state and territory as well as the District of Columbia.

Windows Phone Development MVP
Matteo Pagani
discovered the community world in 2010, thanks to some new colleagues that were part of the MVP family and started to involve him in their activities. Thanks to his strong passion about the mobile world, he connected with Windows Phone from the first announcement; he immediately found himself at home, thanks to a fresh and innovative user experience and a great developer experience, which allows him to reuse the skills acquired during his years as a .NET developer.
His experience with the community world started with his first blog in Italian, where he published tutorials and articles about developing applications for Windows Phone. He continued to grow those contributions in the next years, by opening an English blog; by speaking at many community events and conferences; by publishing the first Italian book about Windows Phone 8 development; and by becoming a Nokia Developer Champion.
After some years working on the Windows Phone platform, Matteo had the chance to turn his passion into a real job: first a web developer, he is now a software engineer in Funambol, part of the team that develops the Windows Phone client for the cloud services offered by the company.
Becoming a Windows Phone Development MVP in 2011 was not just a great honor, but it also gave him the chance to turn his passion into real ideas, thanks to the support he received from Microsoft and from the communities.
One of the best experiences he has had as an MVP was possible because of that kind of support, which made it possible to organize the Windows Phone Week. Born as a simple and crazy idea by three MVP friends from different countries (Matteo Pagani for Italy, Joost Van Schaik for The Netherlands and Rodolpho Marques Do Carmo for Brazil), with the purpose to expand their passion outside the national borders, it quickly turned into a global event. Thanks to the support provided by Microsoft, Nokia and local communities all around the world, during October 2013 more than 20 countries hosted an event about Windows Phone Development, attracting more than 3000 people.
There is a growing interest about the new mobile platform by Microsoft, thus more and more people are looking for resources and information about how to develop an application and how to leverage all the main Windows Phone features. For this reason, the community activities on which Matteo is focused right now are dedicated both to support new developers (that are taking their first steps) and experienced developers (which need to go deeper and to know how to make good use of all the features offered by the platform).
An example of these kind of activities is the new webinar initiative, which became possible thanks to the support of Nokia and the Italian Nokia Developer Champions. From September to December 2013, Matteo and other champions are regularly offering live webinars about different topics connected to Windows Phone development. The initiative started to cover the basic concepts (like the tools and the user experience) and it will go on until the end of the year to propose more advanced topics.

Luanda — The Republic of Angola is seriously engaged at international level, in the struggle for peace and security in the world and for fairer relations, said today, Monday, in Luanda, the minister of National Defence, Cândido Pereira Van-Dúnem.
"In particular, we remain apprehensive and deeply concerned about the conflicts that occur in Africa and have caused enormous loss of lives, displaced persons, refugees and irreparable economic harm," said the minister while speaking at the opening session of official talks between Angola and Brazil.
He stressed that, for this reason, the Angolan government, as always, stood prepared to be part of peace efforts that are being undertaken in the Democratic Republic of Congo, Guinea-Bissau, Central African Republic, Mali, Sudan and South Sudan.
"We think that all interested countries to should endeavour efforts to establish a political order in the Middle East and other parts of our planet," he said.
To Cândido Van-Dúnem, through dialogue and consultation policy, you can find understandings conducive to the preservation of peace and world security scenarios required for the development of humanity.
He stressed that as part of its foreign policy, always and unequivocally Angola defends the values of freedom, solidarity and justice in the relentless pursuit of well-being for all people, principles that should allow its triumphal march toward building a better world.
In official talks taking place at the premises of the Ministry of Defence between delegations headed by the Angolan minister, Cândido Van-Dúnem, and his Brazilian counterpart Celso Amorim, the parties assess the state of bilateral cooperation in this field, with emphasis on the development of industry Angolan military and training of military cadres.
Even today Celso Amorim, who is accompanied by general officers of the branches of the Army, Navy and Air Force and a large number of entrepreneurs linked to Brazilian military industry, will visit the Naval Base of Luanda, belonging to Angolan Navy.
On Tuesday, official talks end in the morning with the signing of the final documentation, followed by the reading of a press release.
Angola and Brazil maintain friendly relations and cooperation in various fields since 1975, when the Brazilian government to recognize Angola as a sovereign state.

YIELD: Makes 32 hors d'oeuvres
ACTIVE TIME: 1 hour
TOTAL TIME: 1 1/2 hours
Pulse cream cheese, feta, walnuts, and dates together in a food processor, stopping occasionally to scrape down side of bowl, until nuts are finely chopped and mixture is combined well. Quick-chill filling by freezing until cold (to make it easier to handle), 15 to 20 minutes in freezer.
Stack 8 sheets of phyllo and cut stack crosswise into 4 strips (each about 12-by 4-inches), reserving remaining phyllo for another use.
Stack phyllo strips, then place stack between sheets of wax paper or plastic wrap (to keep phyllo from drying out) and cover with a kitchen towel (to help keep the paper or plastic wrap in place).
Preheat oven to 400°F with rack in the middle.
Place 1 sheet of phyllo with a short end nearest you on a work surface (keep remaining sheets covered) and brush with butter.
Roll a scant tablespoon of filling between your hands into a 3-inch-long log and place log in center of phyllo sheet, parallel to short end. Fold phyllo in half, enclosing log, and brush with butter.
Roll a scant tablespoon of filling between your hands into a 3-inch-long log and place log in center of phyllo sheet, parallel to short end. Fold phyllo in half, enclosing log, and brush with butter.
Starting at log end, roll up pastry to resemble a cigar. Transfer, seam side down, to a lightly buttered baking sheet.
Make more rolls, leaving 1/2-inch of space between cigars on baking sheet. Bake until phyllo is golden, 15 to 20 minutes.
Cooks' notes:
Filling can be made 1 day ahead and chilled, covered.
Unbaked cigars keep frozen for up to 1 week. To freeze, put cigars on a rimmed baking sheet and freeze until very firm, about 1 hour, then transfer to a sealable plastic bag. When ready to bake, do not thaw. Place frozen cigars on a baking sheet and place directly in oven for 20 to 25 minutes.
If using frozen phyllo, be sure to follow manufacturer's instructions for thawing it; if you are in a hurry and try to thaw it too quickly, you'll likely end up with a frustrating mass of stuck-together sheets or a pile of shreds.
Fresh phyllo thats never been frozen is a delight to work with; you might find it labeled 'strudel dough'. Look for it in international, Greek, Middle Eastern, or Eastern European markets.

Consumer Reports: Forget what we said before, new iPad is the best we've ever seen
Consumer Reports took a beating for measuring the new iPad's heat and charging non-issues under intense loads. However, it still overwhelmingly recommended Apple's new device.
The high-resolution screen of the new iPad establishes a new benchmark in excellence, providing the best rendering of detail and color accuracy we've ever seen on a tablet display. As a result, the iPad tops our new tablet Ratings, posted today.
Performance on the new iPad ($500 to $830) was superb in virtually every other way as well. The 5-megapixel camera took very good photos. Verizon's 4G network yielded very fast, dependable connectivity to a 4G-compatible version of the iPad in our informal tests. And despite the energy-intensive display and graphics, the iPad still has longer battery life than all other tablets.
Responding to consumer comments on the new device, and to coverage from other reviewers, we also carried out further tests that confirmed the new iPad is warmer in its hottest spots than the iPad 2. But we didn't find those temperatures to be cause for concern. In addition, further tests of observations we made that the new iPad was not recharging when playing a demanding, intense video game, showed that the problem was limited to times when the device was playing a demanding game with the screen fully bright. Our high overall judgment of the new iPad was not affected by the results of either battery of tests.
The biggest downfall? Read more
Netflix spins off by-mail group as Qwikster
Some interesting news from Netflix this morning: They are spinning off their by mail group, which will also include video games and giving it a new name 'Qwikster'.
While the video below and the announcement blog post set a conciliatory tone for the way the recent changes (price hikes) happened, those changes are still in place and will continue going forward.
In fact, it sounds like Netflix is set to spin off its old mailing business in the future even though in-house Qwikster now sells game rentals as well as movies and TV shows.
The future of video and gaming is clearly streaming and it appears that Netflix doesn't want to be associated with that entity.
Apple, for what it is worth, has been shunning optical for years, refusing to put Blu-ray optical discs in its Macs or Apple TV products and instead pushing the streaming of media.
PlayStation Vita: Low battery life, expensive memory
Sony seems to be hampering its PlayStation Vita console right out of the gate according to a report today from Ars. What may have seemed like OK battery life before Apple's iOS devices came on the scene, now seems downright paltry. Compare the iPad's 10+ hours of usage to the Vita's claimed stats, with the screen at the default brightness, Bluetooth turned off, and headphones used for audio:
- Game: Approx. 3-5 hours
- Video: Approx. 5 hours
- Music (in stand-by mode): Approx. 9 hours
Even the diminutive and probably better-compared iPod touch (released a year ago) pretty much destroys that with 40 hours of music playback and 7 hours of video (right).
As for memory, the Vita has none built-in like iOS devices. But Sony (just being Sony) will offer a proprietary memory card format, instead of say just using SD or speedy SDXC cards that are about a buck a Gig. Prices?

The first Atari Joystick I've wanted in 20 years…
Update: DVICE has a review up with the following notes:
- It is a 30 pin dock connector, not Bluetooth. It runs on the iPads battery and gets 8-10 hours of battery life (pretty efficient!). The downside to that: Portrait playing only.
- The Atari Arcade is scheduled to drop on October 2 at Target and then in November at Toys "R" Us and Walmart for $60.
Coming soon to DiscoveryBayGames, a new Atari controller that will go head to head with the popular iCade box. The appliance was discovered in the Atari's Greatest Hits update by MacRumors.
What's New in Version 1.3
Hello Atari fans! We've been paying close attention to your feedback and have made a ton of improvements:
• New and improved control schemes
• OpenFeint integration
• Optimized iPad layouts with larger playfields
• Better multiplayer connectivity
• Compatibility with the Discovery Bay Games Duo Controller
• Play with the official Atari® Arcade – Duo™ Powered joystick. http://bit.ly/atariarcade

Coleco makes a comeback on iOS
That's right, Coleco the gaming powerhouse of my youth is back, (mostly in name) with a game for kids called 3 little pigs Pop-up adventure ($4.99, screenshots below). My kid is testing it as soon as he wakes up tomorrow morning
In this initial book, we've created a new 3D engine/platform that we believe raises the bar for children's interactivity when it comes to story books on this platform.
But can we get back to the old Coleco part of it?
Mitch Schussler, CIO of Coleco Entertainment Corporation wrote in to tell us about how they were getting the band back together and…
we're getting close to releasing some of the classic remakes as well as a full product line to be introduced in the second quarter of next year.
I can't even wait. Mitch, you know where to send the redeem codes. Read more

We developed a conversion system from three-dimensional computer-aided design (CAD) drawing data to MCNP geometry input data. This system consists of programs of "void creation" and "conversion into MCNP input data." By using this system, it is possible to convert large and complicated CAD drawing data such as a fusion reactor into MCNP geometry input data. We applied this system to ITER CAD drawing data and created MCNP input data for ITER nuclear analysis. We calculated the neutron flux and nuclear heating using this input data. The calculation results agreed well with those by the other parties participating in this ITER research and development.

Amit Agarwal reports on Gmail's new MP3 Player feature that allows users to play MP3 attachments within Gmail rather than downloading them to play in a client application:Google MP3 Player found in GMail ?Ç¬Ş Digital Inspiration
A new GMail feature lets you play MP3 files right inside the GMail interface without having to download the MP3 or open an external media player.When you receive an audio file as an email attachment, click the play button and Google will play the audio file for you in a popup window.

Please Tell Gov. Schwarzenegger the Eyes of the Nation Are On Him:
Sign AB 2743 Without Delay!
Thanks to the tireless efforts of the Paw Project, last week the California state legislature passed AB 2743, which will prohibit landlords from requiring tenants to declaw or devocalize their cats and dogs.
Great news but...
It's not law until Gov. Schwarzenegger signs it. And it won't be if the California Veterinary Medical Association (CVMA) has its way. Your voice is important to protect vulnerable dogs and cats--and the people who love them.
Ironically, while landlord associations supported AB 2743, CVMA has lobbied very hard against it. The Paw Project reports that CVMA is now urging its members to send letters of opposition to the governor. That's disappointing but not surprising: Mass. Veterinary Medical Association (MVMA) lobbied against Logan's Law, which took effect July 21, making Massachusetts the first state to ban cruel devocalization of dogs and cats.
You didn't let MVMA win at the expense of vulnerable animals; don't let CVMA.
No Matter Where You Live, You Can Help In 5 Minutes or Less!
Please call email or fax Gov. Schwarzenegger right away; tell him the eyes of the nation are on him, and people of goodwill are waiting for him to sign AB 2743 into law. Then forward this eAlert to family and friends throughout the U.S. who care about animals.
- Put "(NAME OF YOUR STATE) Wants You to Sign AB 2743" in the subject line, whether you email or fax.
- Include your name and address.
- Keep it short and polite.

Dot to Dot Percale Cases 335 335
I Love my Dot to Dot bedding I've purchased sheets, duvet covers and pillow cases time and time again. They wash well, stand the test of time and the quality is simply superb. I love Portuguese cotton. Well Done Garnet Hill. June 26, 2015
Best sheets EVER I love how they feel...I love how the wash. They feel so crisp. I have had them about a year and they look brand new. Truly BEST SHEET EVER. June 17, 2015
Loved It!! ....Just a little on the wrinkly side but soft fabulous cotton fabric, LOVE the dots and color, would highly recommend!! May 27, 2015
Stop selling these as sets-only!! My 3 kids have used the dot-to-dot sheets forever; the older kids even took them to college. I want to refresh my kids' rooms with new dot-to-dot but I don't want to buy entire sets as my kids refuse to use the flat sheet. They have colorful GH comforters that they like to wrap around their bodies without an annoying flat sheet (that's what they tell me). So, GH: please let us buy these sheets separately. May 11, 2015
Beautiful, cheerful sheets.... Love, love these sheets & have bought many sheets from Garnet Hill. I like to mix & match. However, now Garnet Hill is selling only as a set instead of individually. My double antique bed takes a double fitted, but a Queen size flat as the double flat doesn't give you enough material on each side. So very disappointing. Also, I noticed that the solid blue with white dots faded easily even with no bleach & washing in cold water. May 9, 2015
The Happiest Sheets Ever! These sheets are fun, whimsical and can be mixed and matched with almost any decor. I have many a set and love them! Always go to bed with a smile on my face when I use these. And yes, I call them the Happy Sheets! March 28, 2015

Answer:For minimal wrinkling we recommend removing the sheets from the dryer while still slightly damp. However, they may still have some minor wrinkling. These sheets are not treated with wrinkle resistant.

SanDisk MP3 seizure order overturned

SanDisk unveils 8GB music playerAugust 21, 2006
A German prosecutor issued the seizure order for the MP3 players on Friday, Sept. 1. The Societa Italiana per lo Sviluppo dell'Elettronica (Sisvel), which licenses patents for the popular compression technology, says the players use MP3 technology that the company has not properly licensed.
The order allowed local officials to remove the devices from SanDisk's booth at IFA, a consumer electronics trade show held from Sept. 1-6 in Berlin.
SanDisk was one of 19 companies whose products were seized at IFA for similar patent violations. It's unclear whether other companies challenged the seizure order.
But by Wednesday, attorneys for SanDisk had the order overturned, and the company's digital audio players were permitted to be displayed on the last day of the show, said company spokesman Bob Goligoski. SanDisk maintains that its MP3 players do not infringe on any patents.
Sisvel continues to pursue the matter, and has appealed the decision to overturn the seizure order, company spokesman Alberto Leproni said in an e-mail on Thursday.
The Italian patent management firm is also suing the Sunnyvale, Calif.-based company in the Netherlands, Germany, the United Kingdom and two U.S. states with the same complaint. Sisvel says that if the devices can play MP3 files, then by definition SanDisk must pay a license fee to use the technology, developed and owned by France Telecom and Philips. More than 600 companies pay a licensing fee to Sisvel, including Apple Computer, Sony and Toshiba.
"Everybody else who is somebody in the consumer electronic industry has taken a license under these patents," Leproni pointed out.
In a statement, SanDisk said its MP3 players "operate a technology which is completely different from certain audio data transmission and reception techniques that has been patented for Philips and others many years ago."
Without offering a name, the SanDisk statement says "one of the founders of MP3 digital audio compression" affirms the company's position.
SanDisk recently announced an 8GB flash-based MP3 player priced to compete with Apple's 4GB iPod Nano.

The number of antigovernment "Patriot" groups on the American radical right hit an all-time high in 2012, the fourth straight year of explosive growth, according to a report released today by the Southern Poverty Law Center (SPLC). As the new year began, serious talk of gun control, prompted by a Connecticut school massacre in December, fueled even more rage on the right, and the threat of violence loomed .
The new report, contained in the latest issue of the quarterly investigative journal Intelligence Report, found that the conspiracy-minded Patriot groups, which numbered only 149 in 2008, soared over the first four years of Barack Obama's presidency to 1,360 in 2012 — an astounding 813% increase. At the same time, it found that hate groups remained at near-record levels of over 1,000 (see interactive map and state-by-state lists of 2012 hate groups here).
The resurgence of militias and other Patriot groups and an uptick over recent years in non-Islamic domestic terrorism caused SPLC President Richard Cohen today to write (letter pdf) U.S. Attorney General Eric Holder and Homeland Security Secretary Janet Napolitano to request the creation of a new interagency task force to assess the adequacy of federal resources devoted to the threat. "As in the period before the [1995] Oklahoma City bombing," Cohen wrote, "we are now seeing ominous threats from those who believe that the government is poised to take their guns."
Patriot groups generally adhere to variations of a conspiracy theory that suggests that the federal government has secret plans to impose martial law on the United States, most likely with the aid of foreign troops; seize all guns held by American citizens; toss all those who resist into concentration camps run by the Federal Emergency Management Agency; and, ultimately, force the country into a kind of socialistic one-world government, commonly known as the "New World Order."
The resurgence of the Patriot movement, which first rose and fell in the 1990s, has largely been a reaction to the election of the nation's first black president in 2008 — and the demographic change, including the loss of the country's white majority predicted for 2043, that he represents — as well as the difficult economy. The recent talk of gun control, which has sparked state legislative efforts to "nullify" any federal legislation and also a movement of rural sheriffs who promise to resist, is now adding fuel to a fire that was already burning at white-hot temperatures (see also my editorial).
Other articles in the new issue of the Intelligence Report (table of contents is here) include:
- An investigative story looking at women in the white supremacist movement and the sometimes explosive secrets they keep.
- A broad look at the comeback of the John Birch Society, once exiled from the respectable conservative movement, and its role in furthering a leading conspiracy theory about the United Nations sustainability plan known as Agenda 21.
- An account of the way that Warren Jeffs, the racist polygamous leader now serving time for sex crimes against young girls, continues to rule two towns on the Arizona-Utah border from his cell.
- A piece about the nation's largest "sovereign citizens" group and its apparent weakening in the aftermath of the arrest of its leader.
- An interview with an Iowa politician who left mainstream politics to take up as a "senator" with a major sovereign citizens group.
- An account of the sputtering rage and name-calling of the radical right that was prompted by President Obama's re-election last November.
- A description of the rapid decline of the once-powerful movement of hard-line citizen border patrol and other nativist groups.
- An examination of the troubles besetting Stormfront, the world's largest white supremacist online forum.
- A look at Christian extremists who have moved from worrying about the War on Christmas to launching their own War on Krishna.

Petition - It's Me Again? Yes!
Since the end of 2005, when I first got my hands on the SYOTOS bonus CD, I wish Korn would play this one song live. What I'm talking about is song #1 on this CD - "It's Me Again"!
"All the secrets that I hide, would die, with me."
Replies to This Posting
Re: Petition - It's Me Again? Yes!
It'd be great if they play It's me Again!! I also would like Faget (If I'm not wrong they played it for the last time @ Argentina 04-18-2010) Proud, A.D.I.D.A.S, BBK, Trash, etc.
Sorry for my english!
Re: Petition - It's Me Again? Yes!
One of my favorite songs by them,
How would I be able to purchase that bonus CD?
Can someone send me a link or something? Please!
Re: Petition - It's Me Again? Yes!
That'd be killer. It's a stomper for sure haha.
Also what about these gems (or again):
Sean Olson
Love My Way
Christmas Song
Broken Soul
Be yourself, let you come through...
Yeah Sean Olsen, Broken Soul, Faget, and Mr. Rogers would be AMAZING!!!
"I am who I am, There's nothing I can do; I try to hide it, And it keeps breaking through!" -Trapped Underneath the Stairs
Re: Petition - It's Me Again? Yes!
Korn can play pretty much all of their songs if you ask me. So yeah, It's Me Again would be a welcome addition to the setlist. Besides the B-Sides from SYOTOS are some of the best songs from that era.
Re: Petition - It's Me Again? Yes!
Dude ray would work the fuck out of the opening. that would be so sick to see

Ali Hutton, of the Treacherous Orchestra and many another outfit, was that local rhythm section, and a fine job he did of it, lending guitar accompaniments that spurred on Ni Charra's fiddle and concertina tunes with well-judged impetus and framing her songs with apposite harmonic colour and shape.
Kerry-born Ni Charra is an able musician – she had to be to improvise her way around melodies in trying, not always successfully, to avoid that rogue note – and her fiddling especially has character, her woody tone redolent of a long tradition being carried on, whether through venerable jigs, reels and hornpipes or her own tunes such as the now cheekily renamed The Rhubarb & Ginger Jam That My Grandmother Used to Make.
Her singing, while never over-demonstrative, follows the emotional thrust of her always informative introductions. This was particularly evidenced by a lovely version of the immediately post-American Civil War cautionary tale, Paddy's Lamentation, an apt choice and performance on this first night of the Carrying Stream Festival, held in honour of the late folklorist and song collector Hamish Henderson. The festival continues until next Wednesday (www.carryingstreamfestival.co.uk).

Automated grape harvester
There are actually two types of robots involved in the grape harvesting. One picks the grapes from the vines, while the other recieves and delivers the grapes to a refinery. The robots operate independantly, and navigate with GPS and built in cameras. The picker rotates on it's axis once every 15 seconds, so it's constantly grabbing fruit from the vines. The reciever leaves for the refinery once it's internal weight machine calculates that the bin is full.
Artist: Pixie Trick
Current apple picking machines rely on people picking while standing on slow moving platforms. However, this machine uses the basic idea of fruit falling when ripe. It drives over a fruit tree, closes the basket around it and gently shakes the tree until all the ripe fruit has fallen. The apples (or other fruit) then fall through the holes in the bottom of the basket where they continue into a pipe to the conveyor which takes it up the the tank above. The motor for the wheels (housed in the green box behind the wheel) are separate from the shaker motors so that the they can be turned off while shaking is happening, thereby saving fuel. To continue on to the next tree, the basket separates into two parts (see the image above) and lifts. The driver then drives to the next tree and begins again.
It's large wheels keep the compression of the ground to a minimum and can be used up to twice a week without harm to the trees. The baskets are made of waxed hemp netting, which is nearly unbreakable, in order to allow any twigs, or insects etc. from being harvested and to prevent bruising of the fruit.
Artist: Janto
This simple machine is used to harvest natural and artificial 'designer' plankton for the busy uplifted dolphin on the go. Its upper body is coated in a photosensitive layer which, combined with the breakdown of certain byproducts, powers a series of fans and certifuges along the length of its body, driving it forwards through the water. Numerous lights make the harvester highly visible, and also attract certain types of plankton. Sonar baffles line the harvester's 'mouth' enabling it to drive away larger fish and stun smaller creatures such as krill. The frontal sieve is designed to grade the catch and ensure that as few undesirable debris as possible are taken into the harvester's drive. Small buoys are used to latch onto the dorsal fin, which includes a tube through which the partially refined plankton is forced for storage and automated delivery to feeding stations.
Artist: Vorp
Massive scale farming of the near future.

Some notes on this round:
Yeah..ehm...it seemed this round was off to a great start but it ended up with only 4 finished pieces. Was it the topic or was it just that everyone had something else on his/her mind? Not that I'm complaining, I'm just wondering what made this round less succesfull than previous rounds.
Janto: Next time please post the finished piece and its description in one post please
February 17th, 2008 #4
Timothee, I'm a sucker for cool rendering and composition so you got my vote. As you can see in my entry I'm solid on perspective but still can't pull together nice colors and composition fast.
BTW, the only significant perspective flaws in your image are the bright white circles on the tank treads. Make sure that the minor axis of your ellipses (circles in perspective) are aligned with the vanishing lines from each ellipse center. Yours are aligned with the x axis of the page. The main robot drive chassis looks dead-on and I love all your lighting and surface indications. That's where I was hoping to take mine. Nice.
February 17th, 2008 #5
Here is my late entry. Wish I could have put it together a bit faster, but I'm happy that I learned lots from giving this a try. Maybe my next attempt will be tighter and faster!
Inspired from some of nature's best harvesters. Working in small "swarms" a team of these robotic harvesters can be employed to collect orchard fruit and some types of vegetables. With advanced sensors for detecting readiness for collection, these harvesters can pick it's crop at the height of it's readiness, while leaving others for collection later. When not in use, these harvesters collapse into a small cylinder, which fits into it's storage tray/charger.
February 17th, 2008 #6
My vote has to go to Pixie Trick. While I love the work done for Timothee's, I feel Pixie Trick really put a lot of thought into the design and function of his harvester.
Janto's just missed it for me, as it looks a bit nose heavy to function properly. A little more on the rear end to balance it, or something else perhaps, would have helped that perception.
Vorp's was successful in looking massive, but I don't see any reason to BE that massive. Seems like it would be as destructive as it is helpful.
February 17th, 2008 #7
PixieTrick- Voted for yours. Nice idea for an apple picker, although it seems a bit top heavy. I especially like the orthos you did on how the machine works.
Janto- Your machine has a real interesting design, but the front may need some tweeking to make the machine flow properly in water.
Vorp- That's one big-ass tractor, the only thing that confuses me is the reason for the elevated cockpit.
Thanks for the vote. I know what you mean about the wheels, i'll see about fixing that.
TheDweller- I would have voted for yours if it had gone to poll. It has a sweet design, and it was well thought out.

timothee: as already mentioned, your circles on the treads are off, otherwise wonderful image. You have my vote.
janto: I just keep on getting this image of the dolphin getting a current into the mouth thing and sucking the dolphin down. Ouch for the dolphin. I'm not sure if that would actually happen though. Also, how would the dolphin breathe? They are mammal and not fish after all. Also, I wasn't sure if you were trying to show the sieve by making the inside of the mouth black with the little blue lines.
vorp: Other than no colour (green, John Deere's are green!) You only have one problem, which my brother pointed out and which makes pretty much no difference to me. Each of those triangular spikes off of the harvesting bit at the front is meant for a row of corn (therefore 2 in this case) in order for the corn to not just get run over but stand up. Now, if you had giant corn...
dweller: Marvelous. I likes very much. The almost scary bit personally is that when it unfolds it looks a lot like a bee. You would have had my vote for this even unfinished.
myself: I just realized that my little orthos don't quite match each other or the image, mainly in terms of the cabin and the basket. Oops.

Keep on changing
By admin | October 5, 2009
The whole world does nothing but changes. Everyday a lot of things happen and we are not even aware of them. Did you know that a newspaper covers only one percent of events happening on our planet? People around us change… Why don't you do the same? Maybe it is time to give all your bad habits up? Let us see how can a single person change everything around.
If we take an addicted person, for example, we will see that in many cases rehab los angeles is a very helpful thing. But it should be admitted that everything depends on us. If a person is ready to give up this addiction he/she won't experience any problems with that. It will be really hard in the beginning, but will definitely become better if you work with professionals and are not left all alone.
What is more, sport and healthy way of life is the solution to many problems. It is important to enroll in yoga class (don't forget to buy quality yoga props), gym (again equipment is necessary here) or enjoy bike riding with your family. If you don't have one of your own, just rent it.
Finally, keep on changing, this trend is useful and you will like it. Only in this case you will become a "new" person and be proud of yourself.

Staying Healthy in Times of Crisis
By admin | August 9, 2009
One can never really tell what would happen in his life because everything is uncertain and nobody can tell anybody the situations that they might have to face in the future. This is why they say that life is so unpredictable. You wouldn't know exactly what to expect because everything can change in an instant. Take the world's health for example. Nobody ever predicted that a virus from pigs can actually affect people and eventually take lives. We all must try to protect ourselves since at this day and age, our health is our greatest treasure, because without it, we can never be able to perform our jobs properly, hence making us unable to pay bills and debts if any. It is hard enough doing debt consolidation with credit card debt, which is I am sure a lot of people are experiencing right now, and debt consolidation loans can't do it alone because no matter what, you still have to work to earn money to pay for that loan, and if you are unhealthy, it is basically the end of your chain, as it would start to weaken, until you just can't control of your money anymore because the loan that was supposed to save you from your debt has become the debt itself.

Good Mattresses for Your Back
By admin | August 3, 2009
Having the right mattresses for the bedrooms can be quite helpful for our backs as it helps us have a wonderful sleep at night without thinking of how we might feel tomorrow morning. Doctors have also been quite creative in this day and age because they were able to design some good mattresses that can perfectly support our backs when we really need it. There are several mattresses out there that were designed by doctors so there are a lot to choose from so we could have enough sleep at night and waking up like a million dollars in the morning. There are even some air mattresses created for people who have very sensitive backs. It is advisable for use since air mattresses supports your whole body's shape and weight as it adjusts on its own when a person lies down on it. But the problem with these kinds of mattresses is that if you are not used to a lot of movement when sleeping, this one is not advisable because a sudden movement can make the whole bed move, much like a waterbed. Ultimately, cotton mattresses are still the favorites all over the world, since it is much more stable efficient.

Health and Security Measures
By admin | July 23, 2009
I was watching the NBC network just recently and I found some several interesting and alarming news that came out about robbery and the problems on the Influenza A (H1N1) virus that has scattered all over the world. After seeing such news, I thought I should look for West VA burglar alarm stores and buy some alarms for my home, just to make sure that we won't be experiencing the things that I saw in my television about some people getting killed and robbed of their belongings. I also thought that we should also take a lot more caution in the house for any contamination from that swine flu pandemic that already took hundreds of lives. It was told though that the best way to prevent getting any kind of infection from this dreaded disease is to always be clean in the house, food, your own body and of course, intake of vitamins would always be good to prevent anyone in the household in getting infected by the disease. In this time where the economic situation is still full of dirt, I don't think that anyone could actually afford to get hit by this kind of disease. I just hope that cure would be made available to everyone really soon.

Eggs to Donate
By admin | July 16, 2009
Egg donation is basically the process where a woman makes available one or more than a few, usually 10-15, eggs for uses of assisted reproduction or in biomedical examinations. For assisted reproduction usages, the egg donation involves the procedure of in vitro fertilization as the eggs are fertilized in a laboratory. After the eggs have been acquired, the part of the egg donor is done. Egg donation is part of the procedure of third party reproduction as part of ART or what they call the Assisted Reproductive Technology. The American Society of Reproductive Medicine or ASRM has issued rules for these procedures, and the FDA has a number of guidelines as well. There are some other boards in countries outside of the US that give the same directives. According to history books, the very first successful transfer happened in July of 1983, where the result was a healthy baby that was born 3rd of February 1984. This has basically given a lot of women around the world that suffer in infertility a big hope to be able to bear child. Infertile women all around the world were given a chance to be able to experience the magic of giving birth and gave them the completion of their thoughts.

Hair Loss control with Zulvera
By admin | July 8, 2009
Zulvera herbal hair growth shampoo is very different from the array of hair loss cure mediation present in the market today. That's primarily because of its ingredients and the coinciding results. The ingredients in Zulvera are natural herbs such as witch hazel, arnica, birch, bay and hop, whereas most of the other hair loss medications that one comes across are chemical based. These pills, serums, creams etc are harmful not only to your hair and scalp but also to your overall health. There have been reported cases of sexual side effects and other kinds of side effects too. This is not the case with Zulvera hair growth shampoo.
On top of all this Zulvera is completely natural and manufactured in most sterilized and standardized environment. This guarantees that it is safe and thus there is no risk on of any kind of side-effects at all. Next it has been tested over and over again and been proven to be side effect free. And the icing on the cake comes with the price, which is very low for its hair loss control qualities. It's time to get on the path to healthier hair today and treat your hair loss and bald patches with Zulvera.

Lift Table Replacement
By admin | July 7, 2009
There was a suggestion within all the doctors to have a pneumatic lift table replace the old operating bed that we have been using because it would be more efficient and would give us easier time to handle our work. Those kinds of tables are often used in applications with existing, readily accessible air supply. It is also used in functions where average electrical apparatus is a concern such as paint shops and other hazardous areas. In health, this can basically perform well with surgery and other kinds of tests due to its durability and adjustable features that a normal bed cannot do. It can be rotated, lifted and tilted according to your preference of usage, and can easily adjust without any complications whatsoever. The suggestion has gotten a lot of attention and made a buzz within the doctors and nurses within the hospital and I think it is being considered. The owner of the hospital just needs to get the request and everything should be fine. The doctors within the hospital just wanted to get an easier way to do their jobs and the majority believes that this lift table can give the doctors what they want to perform better.

A Healthy Kind of Dish
By admin | July 3, 2009
I'm doing a home based job. There's a wide area to choose from, teaching, editing, writing even selling. My friends are doing it too and they agree with me that results are very much rewarding. It's quite practical not to mention healthy. Imagine working at home, where you can have all the comfort under minimal stress. Based from what I learned, one of the main causes of stress is pressure from work. Just the thought of not being late at work itself is a big factor to becoming how stressed out you are. Not to mention pollution and some degree of accident risk that you may encounter in the daily routine of work schedule. It's pretty easy; all you need is a computer and internet connection. I know a satellite internet company that provides a very convenient and efficient and hassle free connection. You don't even have to worry even you live in the most rural area, wild blue dish is known for its very accessible and reliable function. In my four year freelance experience, I don't have any regret and the best part of it is I can attend to my family right there and then. Thanks to my computers and satellite dish.

Hormone Treatment
By admin | July 2, 2009
I don't really know if I want to praise the HGH therapy process or not because it is not exactly something that everyone can afford to get due to the price that this kind of therapy has and yet, it is indeed an effective way to reverse the materializations of aging in and out of a person's body. At this point in time, it is one of the most effectual when it comes to reducing fat, wrinkles, gaining muscles, re-growing internal organs, increasing bone density, strengthening the immune system and basically a lot more. On the other hand, HGH therapy can't extensively undo the damage to human proteins, it can't undo the results of cardiovascular disease and it can't get rid of the effects of the decline of other hormones. This is also considered a luxury treatment due to the fact that it is an expensive way to lose weight or gain muscles. And yet, even though it is done with human growth hormone, it doesn't have the effects that those anabolic steroids have to the body, making it really safe and efficient. I guess with this kind of therapy, you just have to weigh in if you really need this kind of procedure or not because it may or may not get your condition better.

A Balloon in My Belly… Literally
By admin | July 1, 2009
I am part of the statistics in the US under the obese category and I have been trying to do a lot of things to make myself to at least lose weight but seemingly to no avail. I always have exercises in my program as well as eating less, but I always end up giving in to temptations anyway, making me maintain, and sometimes even gain more weight than losing some. I was told by a friend about a certain gastric balloon surgery where he said he read it in some internet web site. He said he had the initiative to look more in to the process and he said he found out that this gastric surgery is done by swallowing a silicon made balloon, inflating it from the inside and leaving it there for a couple of months to give that "always full" feeling, then after a certain number of days or months, they will surgically remove the balloon. He said that it appears to be safe since the companies that he saw wouldn't be given permit to operate if it is not. While I honestly think it is tempting, I am still a bit hesitant to try this process for the reason that silicon already had some negative issues in the past. Maybe a few more research would do the trick for me.

FOR most pilots of commercial airliners the first sign of an impending mid-air collision comes when a synthesised voice in the cockpit calls out: "Traffic, Traffic".
This voice comes from a complex piece of equipment called a traffic alert and collision avoidance system (TCAS). Compulsory on European and American commercial airliners, TCAS is designed to prevent a mid-air crash even if a pilot or an air traffic controller has made an error.
The system is based around the transponders fitted into every airliner that air traffic control uses to determine an aircraft's identity, height, course and speed. On most incident-free journeys, pilots barely need to give their TCAS monitors a second glance.
But if two planes are heading towards each other for some reason, the system sounds its first warning, highlighted in amber on the TCAS screen, when they are 40 seconds away from potential collision.
Then, if neither changes ...

Here's a new track from DJ Spoko's Ghost Town EP. Unlike a
lot of his peers in South African house music, who emulate the rhythms and melodies of European deep-house, Spoko's productions have a raw ominous tone – bringing to mind the feeling of hardware techno and Detroit house. and THAT's why we love him! Pre-order Ghost Town HERE. Ghost town is out worldwide on March 5, 2013. Follow DJ Spoko on Twitter HERE TRACKLIST 1. Azange (ft. Magaula & Puzuzu) 2. Batauweng (ft. Kapa Kapa) 3. Ghombhonyoka (ft. Buthi Henesy) 4. I Remember (ft. G-Dog) 5. Sound Of Our 4Fathers DJ Spoko was born Marvin Ramalepe, raised in the rural town of Tzaneen in northern South Africa, where he says "there was no first or third class—all the same." He started producing on a PC at age 12, after moving with his brother Kelly Rams Ramalepe to Atteridgeville, a 99%-black township outside the mostly white city of Pretoria – to find their father. They lived in an area called Ghost Town, near Atteridgeville's cemetery, where as the neighborhood's premiere producer, young Spoko earned the nickname Ghost. The title of his new Ghost Town EP—Spoko's first release in the West, via True Panther—neatly bundles both the man and the place, and serves as an introduction to the raw sound of Bacardi House, the genre he invented that now rules over the clubs of Atteridgeville. Bacardi House has been fermenting for a decade. For three years in the early 2000s, DJ Spoko traveled 40 miles south to Soweto, where he studied sound engineering in the studio of Nozinja, creator of the hyper-speed, hip-shaking Shangaan Electro style. After, when Spoko built his own studio back home, he took a producer named DJ Mujava under his wing, leading to Spoko's great but uncredited triumph, as the percussion mastermind behind Mujava's Bacardi House indebted "Township Funk." His sound consumed the township, passed around on numerous full-length cassette releases with names like Grave Yard Session, The All C'Ing I, and Tombs & Graves. On Ghost Town, Spoko pushes that sound's simple yet ear-worming "space" synths, raw kicks and punishing military snares even further. Ghost Town is party music, sure, but there's a stern and harsh reality, too. Guest vocals by Spoko's Ghetto Boyz Entertainment crew address the warnings of forefathers, the violence of township life, and the rural world Spoko left behind. It's the electrified sound of a country boy taking over his township. And next, maybe, the world.

Ever since Melanie Alexander moved to Fort Walton Beach this fall, she has been bothered by the signs on the corner of Yancey Street and Beal Parkway.
Saturday, she decided to do something about them.
Holding a green sign that said, "Honk if you hate racism," she stood on the sidewalk in front of the signs, with the Confederate flag waving high behind her.
View photos from the protest »
"Something just sort of told me to do it, so I did," she said of her four-hour, one-woman protest. "A lot of people thanked me. Only one guy came up to argue."
The vacant lot is owned by Larry Ford. On large wooden signs, he has expressed his frustration with Obama's election in terms that have angered folks over the years.
The signs have been vandalized several times. Folks have also called the Okaloosa County Sheriff's Office, expressing concern that the signs may "incite" people, according to news accounts.
Though the sign's sentiments may offend some, Ford is exercising his right to free speech, which is protected by law.
Alexander said she was doing the same.
"I worried about putting myself out there, but if he has a voice, I want to have one, too," she said. "I just felt a personal responsibility for saying something. Here's what people can do — they can't infringe on this man's rights.
"They can just use their own."

The Period of PURPLE Crying is a new way to help parents understand this time in their baby's life, which is a normal part of every infant's development. It is confusing and concerning to be told your baby "has colic" because it sounds like it is an illness or a condition that is abnormal.

The Apple Watch is the most ambitious, well-constructed smartwatch ever seen, but first-gen shortfalls make it feel more like a fashionable toy than a necessary tool.

Smith inquiry being delayed
State backlog of tests stalls investigation
Texas Rangers said Monday the investigation into a sexual assault allegation against Police Chief Bryan Smith could take as long as six more months before it is presented to a grand jury.
Robert Garza, the Texas Ranger in charge of the investigation, said he sent a sexual assault examination kit to the Department of Public Safety lab for testing after a 32-year-old woman went to a local hospital April 21 and reported she had been raped by Smith, who denies the allegations. But a backlog at the DPS lab could delay those results by as much as six months or longer, Garza said.
The Rangers did not ask the DPS lab to expedite the case because it is being treated like any other, Garza said.
What about other cases? Why would they be put on the back burner? Garza said. I dont tell the lab how to run their business.
Smith, who said he was falsely accused by an ex-girlfriend, is on voluntary leave and has said he planned to use vacation time until the investigation is complete.
Assistant Chief Ken Bung is leading the department while Smith is on leave.
City Manager Skip Noe said Monday that he is waiting on the outcome of the criminal investigation before deciding Smiths future with the city.
The administrative decision is secondary to the criminal investigation, Noe said.
Noe doesnt know how many vacation days Smith has left, but said he has met with Smith, and Smith is not concerned about running out of days.
Pamela Smith, laboratory manager for the local DPS crime lab, said the lab is about a year behind because of staff turnover and lack of space for additional personnel. She did not know how many cases were ahead of Smiths.
Once the lab starts working on a case, it could take two to three months to process depending on how much evidence there is, said Pamela Smith, who is not related to Chief Smith.
The examination kit typically includes tests to detect forensic evidence and could include blood, semen, hair and clothing fiber, Garza said. He didnt know specifically what evidence was collected in Smiths case because the kit was sealed when he picked it up from the examining nurse at Doctors Regional Hospital.
Other aspects of the investigation are ongoing, Garza said. Texas Rangers still are interviewing witnesses and waiting on requested phone records. Garza wouldnt say who they were interviewing or whether the phone records were from a personal or business phone.
The woman told police she had received a text message from Smith on her cell phone about 2 a.m. on April 21 saying he was outside of her apartment. She told officers she let him inside to avoid waking up her son, and the assault later happened in her living room, according to a police report.
Once the Rangers investigation is complete, the case will be sent to District Attorney Carlos Valdez, who has said he will take the case to the grand jury to determine whether charges will be filed.
Both Valdez and Garza said most sexual assault cases go before a grand jury before an arrest is made. They said a person can be arrested immediately if they are a flight risk or if the victim is in fear for his or her life.
The womans attorney, Abraham Moss, said Monday that he is glad to see the investigation is being taken seriously and investigated thoroughly.
Im happy that theyre taking their time, Moss said. Theyre obviously doing a deliberate, thought-out investigation. I think thats important for the process.
Tony Canales, Smiths attorney, said the investigation should be going more quickly. He said he planned to ask the Texas Rangers for a preliminary report of the lab results.

How long are you willing to sit in a room with 25 or 30 people? Imagine that a non-profit you support has a meeting, and it stretches 5 1/2 hours. Is that too long?
It's common sense that 30 people sitting together won't accomplish much. If you really want to get something done, sooner or later you have to break into smaller groups, or let people work on their own. Otherwise, you waste enormous amounts of time and don't get much accomplished.
Unfortunately, this is the way most classrooms operate. Students sit in groups of about 30 while a single teacher attempts to impart knowledge. It's inefficient, illogical, and outdated.
Let's do the math. To use rounds numbers, let's assume a class of 30 students meets five days a week for 60 minutes each. That's 300 minutes. Imagine that right now, all of that time is spent in a group.
Students get zero personal attention from the teacher.
Now imagine that the teacher allows each student to spend half the "class" time working on individually tailored assignments; during this time, the student does not have to be in the classroom. That means the average number of students in the class at any given moment is now 15.
Suddenly, the teacher is working at the equivalent of an elite private school. He or she can much more easily observe how each student participates in the class discussions, and how prepared they are. It's a different world.
The technology exists to do this. The main reason it's not happening is inertia, and a bunch of rules that have little to do with the welfare of students.

Actually yesterday: I Put it away until I receive CJ's WP upgrade!
I went for a little rain-ride to get some saddle time in and do some Xmas shopping yesterday, the first real ride after flushing the cooling system and changing the oil. At that time I knew the WP seal was probably leaking, there was a little coolant in the oil and the filter was deformed. I didn't think it was bad because the oil was pretty clean when I test rode it and when I changed the oil after putting about 100miles on it. I knew I'd eventually have to change the seal and shaft so I ordered CJ's kit a couple days later.
Anyway, I figured I'd be out more than half a day, maybe 150 - 200miles. I stopped at about 50miles (the coolant level was low) and checked the oil:
It looked like cappuccino with extra foam on top! Called it a day.
Anyway, dummy me, I didn't ask the PO about the WP seal when I test rode it.
I know, I know: caveat emptor. I was so excited to find a reasonably priced 990 I was blinded by desire! (for the
