Day 1 7/7/12 11:30 am 906 miles on the odometer. Im finally ready to leave!
I didnt take too many pics starting out, i was just so excited to get riding. And i've been through parts of this area before a number of times. Honestly, i wasnt planning on doing a blob/story/thread on this when i started out. Dont worry, there will be plenty of pics later on.
Started out going south to Wyoming. Took a two lane highway down to Ranchester. At approximately 90 degrees out, its tshirt weather for sure. Jumped on highway 14 going over the bighorns. Lots of switchbacks going up the mountain, but no problem for the klr. I stopped on the east side going down on a lookout to snap a few pics quick. There was a gal there sitting outside her conversion van taking in the view. She asked me where a particular campground was, but there are so many, i didnt know offhand. I guess she had been on the road a while, up to alaska on her way out from washington state. Wished her luck after taking a few pics and i was off to Cody.
Stopped in Cody at Sierra Post Trading Company for the first time. They have billboards for 35-70% off everything, so i went in to look for a tent. The cheapest one they had was like $160 or some ridiculous amount. Much more than i wanted to spend, so i headed to walmart and got a $22 junior scout 4x6 tent. It was only about 4x8x16'' folded up and 3' tall when set up. Just perfect for those 'secret' campgrounds. After that i swung by an old fashioned cowboy steakhouses for dinner. They had a rodeo at 8pm, but i didnt want to wait around for it, so i gassed up and hit the road by 6pm. Went through Yellowstone shortly thereafter. Started to rain a little bit, but i just threw on my jacket and was perfectly fine. Lots of traffic too, being a saturday night and all.
Lookout from Highway 14 in the Bighorn mountains.
Idaho on highway 20, just after West Yellowstone.
Sorry for lack of pics, I took a bunch last time i rode through. So, i continued through the park, went through West Yellowstone, stayed on highway 20 into Idaho, then jumped on 87 and went north by Henrys lake. Drove til 11pm or so and got to Ennis. I stopped by a gas station for some snacks before camping at the Ennis state park right south of town along the Madison river. There were quite a few people there, but i found a spot by the shore to throw my lil ol tent down.
462 miles today.
Go riding today.

Jersey Shore
Ronnie Says Everyone on the Cast Wants to Do Jersey Shore Season 6 (VIDEO)
Ronnie is turning into quite the business man ever since Jersey Shore Season 5 wrapped in August 2011. He chatted with The Hollywood Reporter about his current projects, what the SamRon status is, and who his real friends are in the house.
He says that for right now, he's concentrating on "doing appearances...I moved to LA to get into acting, I got Ron-Ron Juice coming out in stores, I got [the movie remake of] Three Stooges, I got Punk'd."
Whoa, steady, Ron Ron. So. We'll get to see the gorilla get punked by Bam Margera (check out a sneak peek here) soon, and as for the acting, he says it's "different from reality TV, especially Jersey Shore where they film 24/7 and we're just being ourselves. Acting is, you have to read scripts."
That is definitely deep, but somehow we're more excited to finally get a taste of Ron Ron Juice, which Ronnie explains was created during Season 1, when he and the guys found themselves waiting around for the girls to get ready so he started throwing watermelons and alcohol and other stuff into a blender, coming up with a "tropical drink that really messes you up."
Regarding another season of Jersey Shore, he says that everybody on the cast would want to do another season, and if it's their last, he wants it to be back where it all began: the Shore house.
As for Sammi, we got the same story as she's been giving: the stress of everyday life was just "overwhelming," and they're taking time away from each other to focus on business and family.
And acting, with scripts and stuff.

I have a requirement to use headphones with my apple desk top PC., unsure which way to go with regard to wireless or solid wired, as other member of this household have iphones or iPads, would these in bluetooth format interfere with those other devices?
Regards. PA
- Asked by Phillip A
Harman Kardon Bluetooth Wireless Over-Ear Headphones
Product No Longer Available
1 Answer from the Community
No it won't interfere because each device has to be paired to the headphone and even if all the devices were paired to the headphone you still have to individually choose headphone or iPhone.

OverviewLake RathetearLake Rathetear is the largest body of water on Antonica and borders the Southern Plains of Karana to the north and Rathe Mountains to the east. Legend states that the lake was formed from the tears of The Rathe, the council governing the element of earth, as one of the council were slain by Murdunk, a great ogre warrior of the Rallosian Empire. In the center of the lake, upon a small island, stands a massive tower lit by an eternal flame. Aviaks keep watch from this tower, keeping a keen eye on all that pass through the lake. The Arena can be found along the western wall of mountains. Along the rest of the shores of the lake, many different tiny villages can be found. Beneath the waters, those with the ability to breathe underwater will find a city of aqua goblins. On one small island, an Erudite is hard at work studying in silence.

Whether it's the stub of a toe outside your apartment or the coat-hanger vendor who once again causes you to miss the green robot, minor menaces can turn into major meltdowns with the quick flick of the anger switch. Shed the shoddy stress-vibes and loosen up livid limbs and sulky sinews with either of the following magical 60-minute massages: hot-stone massage, Swedish massage, aromatherapy massage or deep tissue massage.
Block out honking taxis and that weird guy preaching his praying-mantis doomsday theory and indulge in a relaxing day at the Royal Jade – Steam Paradise. A cocoon of soothing ambiences, the Royal Jade Steam Paradise is a unique sanctuary neatly strewn with steaming wooden massage tables, wooden buckets and other original pieces; each serving a dual-function in creating a space that induces relaxation while acting as the perfect setting for body-bettering therapies.
Because your battered body probably feels as if you've been carrying the weight of the world – and that oversized, but ultra-chic handbag – let the healing hands of the professional therapists ease your bulky burden with one of four muscle-melting massage options.
The soothing hot stone massage will smooth away troubled knots and negative notions to the point where your mind will float away on heavenly bliss as the heated stones gently roll and glide over stubborn aching muscles. What makes the Swedish massage special – and no, they don't play Euro-pop songs during it – is that it uses five different styles of stokes. Sounding eerily similar to Euro-pop dance moves, the strokes include a sliding and gliding, a rhythmic tapping with a little bit of friction and finally a vibration or shaking technique.
For the tired body and exhausted mind, awaken your senses with a one-hour aromatherapy massage. Similar to a regular massage, but with highly concentrated plant or essential oils added to the massage oil or lotion, the aroma massage has different and more effective healing properties. If you like your massages like you like your coffee, strong and revitalising, then enjoy a deep tissue massage; a treatment that might have you shedding a tear or two, but will ultimately make you feel amazing.
Massage fact: A variation of the Swedish massage is called the Norway Nudge and instead of using a sliding and gliding motion, the therapist nudges the patient with a frozen herring.

Fox to offer TV downloads on MySpace
- Related Stories
Hollywood recasts its download alliesJuly 12, 2006
BitTorrent inks licensing deal with studiosJuly 10, 2006
Warner Bros. strikes deal with video-sharing siteJune 26, 2006
Fox Entertainment Group is planning to distribute movies and TV shows to consumers from the company's network of Internet sites, including MySpace.com.
Fox, a division of News Corp., announced Monday that digital versions of TV shows such as "24" and "Prison Break," along with feature films, including "X-Men: The Last Stand," will eventually be available for download at Fox sites. Movies will go for $19.99, while TV episodes will cost $1.99.
The move is the latest sign that Hollywood studios are determined not to allow Apple Computer as much control over distribution digital content as the music industry handed over to Apple's music download site, iTunes. Apple has emerged as the gatekeeper when it comes to digital music, selling more songs than any other Web site. Movie and TV executives have said that they want a host of e-tailers offering their content.
Warner Bros. Entertainment has been among the most aggressive of the studios in the pursuit of such a strategy. In recent months, the company cut distribution deals with video-sharing site Guba and file-sharing system BitTorrent.
Apple already offers some Fox TV shows, but they can be watched only on Apple handheld products such as the iPod. In what Fox claims is an industry first, customers will be able to download a TV show or movie to two Windows-based computers, where each can then transfer the content to a single handheld device.
Fox's IGN Entertainment, which makes video games available for download, is providing the distribution platform for all of Fox's sites, and will also offer the first download, on the IGN's Direct2Drive Web site, sometime in October, Fox said in a statement.
The company did not disclose when its other sites will begin selling digital content.

- While iTunes runs on Mac and PC, it is true that you must use iTunes to play the videos/music. And, since Apple doesn't make a Linux version, and since they take pains to make sure any third-party app doesn't work, I'm stuck finding somewhere else to get music.

This article suggests that Fox's digital video content will be

that mean it will only be playable on 2 Windows-based
computers? If so, how is that better than Apple's iTunes
offering? Whilst it may be advantageous to play Fox's media on
portable devices other than the iPod, Fox and the music and TV
executives obviously don't feel the need to cater for those of us
using Mac OS X; 4% of the market still equates to millions of
users. I don't see that as an "industry first".

The Role of Women in Afghanistan in the Spotlight
The United States has announced the launch of a $200 million fund to boost the role of women in Afghan society. The ability of such a fund to make an impact on the deeply conservative Afghan culture, however is in doubt. Today Hamid Karzai's main religious advisers refused to overturn a strict religious decree which is renewing Taliban era oppression of women in Baghlan province.
US Program to Help Afghan Women
The $200 million program is being funded by the US Agency for International Development, and is the largest gender-focussed investment run by the agency:
NATO Withdrawal Could Reverse Gains for Afghan Women
Fears are running high that the withdrawal of NATO forces could endanger the few gains made in Afghan gender equality in recent years. Highlighting this danger is a religious order, or Fatwah, which is currently being imposed in the province of Baghlan and which the government in Kabul has refused to condemn. Amongst other things the decree prevents women from leaving their homes unless they have a male relative to act as a escort, and orders to closure of shops selling make-up.

Modified Mustangs & FordsFeatured Vehicles
1991 Ford Mustang LX - White Lightning
There Are Some Mustangs You Come Across That Really Strike A Chord - Such As This Turbocharged '91 LX - Whose Previous And Current Owners Have Now Become Friends.
DJ Mayle's 1991 Mustang LX
Our cover car story this month begins back in 1997, in the state of Maine, when one Chris Nowak went to gander at a 1991 Mustang LX 5.0 hatchback - a clean, stock, Oxford White five-speed car with a Scarlet Red interior, that the original owner was selling. The car was too clean for Chris to pass up, so he bought it. Of course, this particular project began with the little things, kicking off with replacing the clutch. After that, a set of 3.73 gears went in and Chris pulled off the entire stock exhaust and installed aftermarket headers, mid-pipe and Magnaflow catback. Like a lot of Fox Mustang owners, Chris wasn't exactly keen on the Scarlet interior, but instead of taking the quick and easy route, he opted for a different path. "I wanted a genuine black interior for the car, so that meant a lot of searching for the right parts. I found a dashboard, but it turned out to be painted black, which wasn't what I wanted, so I kept looking, eventually scoring another one. The best part about looking for new interior parts was the two black, 7,000 mile door panels I found in my backyard - they were mint." While swapping out the interior, Nowak figured he'd change the axles and rotors over to five-lug and install a set of Eibach Pro kit springs on the car. It was while doing this that he made another big-time score. "A guy I knew had a genuine set of 2000 Mustang Cobra R rims and tires. This was around 2001 and nobody had really caught on to installing these rims on Fox cars yet and there were very few vendors selling them. I gave him a new set of drag radials and $550 and I got these Cobra Rs (they're the rims on the car in the photos). I put a set of 285 series tires on the back wheels, but had a little problem mounting the fronts, because they were designed for spindles with sealed bearings, which the Fox cars don't come with, so I modified the dust caps to stay on."
A Step Further
A couple of years later, in the winter of 2003, Nowak got serious, lifting the original 302 out and making plans for installing a seriously worked drivetrain. "With the motor out, I got to filling and smoothing all the little 'swiss-cheese' holes in the engine bay and painted it. Then I got to work on the motor." Nowak had got his hands on a Stage 1 turbo kit from HP Performance, along with Tial 44mm wastegate and set about mating that to the car's original H.O. V8, along with upgrading the 302's breathing capability to handle the extra air from the turbo. "I ended up installing a Motorsport E cam; TFS Twisted Wedge heads and a Ford Racing valvetrain. I also took the precaution of o-ringing the heads so I wouldn't face any problems down the road with blown seals." As for the turbo kit install? "It actually went pretty well. There were a couple of places where I had to do some cutting in order to get it to fit in the engine bay, but I liked the way it turned out." Chris upgraded the fuel system to 42 lb Lucas injectors and installed a GSS 255 lph pump in the stock gas tank. He also decided at this point to swap the 3.73 ring and pinion for a milder 3.55:1 final drive, but being the renaissance motorhead he is, actually tuned the car himself. "I used a Tweaker RT to dial it in with the stock processor. It took me a while to figure out how to use it, but in the end I was rewarded with a smooth idling, quiet Mustang that cranked out 478 horsepower and 515 lb-ft of torque at 10 lbs of boost, yet would still get over 20 miles per gallon on the highway - I was very happy." Nowak was very meticulous with every aspect of this car, even as the mods progressed. "Attention to detail was very important to me when building this car, I took extra steps - basically nobody else touched it during the build except me. I even used an X-acto knife to make sure the gasket was nice and neat when I installed the timing cover." Clearly others appreciated his efforts, because when Nowak took it to the 2003 Fun Ford Weekend New England Nationals, he came home with an Editor's Choice award trophy. By early 2005, the white LX had morphed into quite the machine. It had a Hurst Line Lock, Corbeau Carerra seats and harnesses, full-length subframe connectors and strut bracing; Strange adjustable struts and shocks, Hotchkiss lower control arms at the back; 13-inch Cobra front and '88 Lincoln Mk VII rear disc brakes. It also had a S.P.E.C. Stage 3 clutch, aluminum driveshaft and safety loop, full cooling system upgrade including silicone hoses and SN95 electric fan, along with a full ignition upgrade - including MSD billet distributor, Jacobs control box, cut-off switch and 130 amp alternator to handle the stereo system - which included an Alpine deck, three Rockford Fosgate 40, 60 and 100 amps and a pair of Orion 10-inch subs. Chris did take it to the track and managed to bang out a 12.40 at 122 miles per hour with the stock T-5 gearbox and Nitto NT555 drag radials, but in his words "faced a few traction problems." Still his '91 had proved to be a great car to enjoy. It was smooth, dead reliable and with plenty of power on tap to leave unsuspecting challengers in the dust and; save for a cowl induction hood and the rims, it looked bone stock on the outside, heck even most of the paint was the original Oxford White sprayed on at River Rouge.

Flipper attended Atlanta University during Reconstruction. There, as a freshman, Representative J.C. Freeman appointed him to attend West Point, where there were already four other black cadets. The small group had a difficult time at the academy, where they were rejected by the white students. Nevertheless, Flipper persevered and in 1877 became the first of the group to graduate, becoming a second lieutenant in the U.S. Army cavalry. He was assigned to the 10th Cavalry Regiment, one of the four all-black Buffalo Soldier regiments in the army, and became the first black officer to command regular troops in the U.S. Army. (Previously, even all-black regiments were led by white officers).
He was soon sent to Texas and later to Fort Sill in the Indian Territory, where he served as an engineer, supervising the drainage of malaria-infested ponds and the construction of roads and telegraph lines. By 1880, he had worked his way up to the position of quartermaster. Throughout this period, his rise through the ranks was encumbered by racism in the military, though he did have the support of many of the white civilians he encountered, who were impressed by his competency. In 1880, while serving as quartermaster at Fort Davis, Texas, he was brought before a court martial, after money went missing from the post commissary. Realizing that this could be used against him by officers intent on forcing him out of the army, he attempted to hide the discrepancy, which was later discovered. He was charged with embezzlement, and although he was eventually acquitted, he was found guilty of "conduct unbecoming an officer" and in 1882 given a dismissal, the officer equivalent of dishonorable discharge. For the rest of his life, Flipper contested the charges and fought to regain his commission.
After his dismissal, Flipper remained in Texas, working as a civil engineer. In 1898, he volunteered to serve in the Spanish-American War, but requests to restore his commission were ignored by Congress. He spent time in Mexico, and on returning to the United States, he served as an advisor to Senator Albert Fall on the revolutionary politics in that country. When Fall became Secretary of the Interior in 1921, he brought Flipper with him to Washington, D.C. to serve as his assistant.
In 1923 Flipper went to work in Venezuela as an engineer in the petroleum industry. He retired to Atlanta in 1931, and died in 1940.
Throughout his life, Flipper was a prolific author, writing about scientific topics, the history of the Southwest, and his own experiences. In The Colored Cadet at West Point (1878) he describes his experiences at the military academy. In the posthumous Negro Frontiersman: The Western Memoirs of Henry O. Flipper (1963), he describes his life in Texas and Arizona after his discharge from the army.
As reported by the U.S. Army, in 1976 descendants and supporters applied to the Army Board for the Correction of Military Records on behalf of Lieutenant Flipper. The Board, after stating that it did not have the authority to overturn his court-martial conviction, concluded the conviction and punishment were "unduly harsh and unjust" and recommended that Flipper's dismissal be changed to a good conduct discharge. The Assistant Secretary of the Army (Manpower and Reserve Affairs) and the Adjutant General approved the Board's findings, conclusions, and recommendations and directed that the Department of the Army issue Lieutenant Flipper a Certificate of Honorable Discharge, dated 30 June 1882, in lieu of his dismissal on the same date. On 21 October 1997, a private law firm filed an application of pardon with the Secretary of the Army on Lieutenant Flipper's behalf. Seven months later, the application was forwarded by the Acting Assistant Secretary of the Army (Manpower and Reserve Affairs) to the Office of the Pardon Attorney at the Department of Justice with a recommendation that the pardon be approved. Many pardon applications had been rejected in the past - as a matter of policy - because the intended recipients were deceased. However, President Bill Clinton pardoned Lieutenant Henry O. Flipper on 19 February 1999.

Memorial Day Weekend: Remembrance
Most of us are craving the upcoming 3-day weekend, time with friends and family, and barbecuing, but let's not forget what the holiday is really about: to remember the women and men who have served and sacrificed for our nation in uniform.
If you're in need of some food inspiration for the weekend, here are a few healthy recipes your friends and family will absolutely love.
Vegetable Grill with Balsamic-Red Wine Glaze
Chocolatey Coconut Chia Pudding

Apple and the Environment
Apple announced hat its Maiden, N.C., data center will run entirely on renewable energy by the end of 2012. The company is building its own facilities which will produce sixty percent of the clean power needed. Apple's new facilities will be the nation's largest private solar arrays and the largest non-utility fuel cell installation operating anywhere in the country. Apple also says plans are in the works to use renewable energy to power data centers in Newark, Calif., and Prineville, Ore.
Climate Science Education Graduates to the Next Level
Climate science has been a tricky subject in the classroom. Climate change is a complex subject to teach, and it puts teachers smack in the middle of what is, but shouldn't be, an ideological battle. Things are starting to change though as more standard-setting groups and educators come to an agreement about what kids need to learn about climate science.
Navy Crowdsources Future Energy Strategy with Wargame
The U.S. Navy introduced a new version of its Mmowgli (Massive Multiplayer Online Wargame Leveraging the Internet) – an online gaming project that encourages players around the world to figure out how the military can best meet its energy demands. Drilling for oil isn't an option though — thinkers must find solutions that aren't reliant on fossil fuels.
In North Dakota and Nationwide, A Boom in Health Problems Accompanies Fracking
North Dakota is the second-largest oil-producing state in the country. But this boom comes with a heavy price: public health officials are concerned that the pollution from the wells is making people very sick.

Finished with diets that don't work?
Confused about what to eat? Running low on energy and enthusiasm?
Could be what you are eating. Or maybe what you're not eating. Eating make-believe food leads to make-believe health.
Maybe it's time to upgrade your nutrition. To learn how to work with your body instead of against it. To make self-care a priority. To take care of YOU so that you can take care of others.
No one diet works for everyone.
Every body is different. That is why what worked for your best friend, might not work for you. Having a knowledgeable counselor work with you to find a way of eating for life that best supports your body is key to success. By using a holistic approach, we can look at areas like sleep, exercise and lifestyle that greatly affect your overall health.
Get off the diet rollercoaster.
Diets don't work. If you go on a diet, you have to go off a diet. Then what? What if you could learn how to eat food, real, wholesome, delicious food and lose weight? My Real Health System will teach you how to gradually add in the good while gently nudging out the bad. No more confusion about what to eat. No more deprivation. Just giving the body the nutrition it is really hungry for.

Pixel Press CEO Robin Rath Dilip Vishwanat
The UpTake: Pixel Press will produce a create-your-own video game app for Cartoon Network's "Adventure Time" program, the network's most-watched show with around 3.1 million viewers per episode in 2013.
K ickstarter is the gift that keeps on giving for St. Louis-based startup Pixel Press.
Pixel Press has developed technology that lets its users draw their own video game using a pencil and paper, and then play them on an iPad or iPhone.
In 2013, Pixel Press successfully raised $108,950 on Kickstarter — one of the best-funded crowd-funding campaigns to ever come out of St. Louis. During the campaign, Pixel Press co-founder and CEO Robin Rath said Cartoon Network reached out to the company about a potential partnership.
For more news from the St. Louis Business Journal, check out Brian Feldt's work.
Those discussions led to the deal announced Friday, in which Pixel Press will produce a create-your-own video game app for Cartoon Network's "Adventure Time" program, the network's most-watched show with 3.1 million viewers per episode in 2013.
"Development companies, or a company like Cartoon Network, keep track of Kickstarter and eye it for potential opportunities," Rath said. "That wasn't something we really knew about until Cartoon Network reached out to us."
Through the partnership, Pixel Press is acting as a publisher of the app, which is slated to be available for purchase sometime this winter, and share in the revenue with Cartoon Network. Neither Rath nor Cartoon Network disclosed further terms of the deal.
Ryan Harwell, partnership manager for Cartoon Network Digital, said mobile games are a cornerstone of Cartoon Network's content strategy.
"Our brains started spinning when we saw that Pixel Press was creating a mobile platform for game creation," he said. "But the appeal went deeper than just being aligned on mobile. "Besides pencil and paper being common denominators of both animation and the Pixel Press technology, we were drawn to its ability to let kids create games without any programming knowledge."
Harwell said Pixel Press set itself apart from other game creators by its ability to "motivate kids to step away from a screen and design with the basic tools anyone can use – pencil and paper."
He said in the Adventure Time app, users will be able to create single-level games as Pixel Press users have become accustomed to, but also use multiple-sheets of paper to create a larger game.
"We are providing players with an innovative tool set to tell a story built on one of our most imaginative brands, and that's a really powerful thing," Harwell said.
Rath said the Pixel Press team has been working full-time on the "Adventure Time" project for the majority of 2014. He said he hopes to use the partnership with Cartoon Network as a model for future initiatives.
"We hope to leverage the power of this partnership to find more opportunities to release more self-titles or build similar partnerships and work with brands directly," Rath said. "Similarly to how YouTube is a platform for brands to engage directly via content, we would like to be through video games."
To date, Pixel Press has raised nearly $700,000 to date, including the Kickstarter campaign and its most recent $520,000 financing round led by Chicago-based investment firm the Chaifetz Group, led by Richard Chaifetz, the naming donor for Saint Louis University's arena.

Weight Distribution
Matt Jones: Front-to-rear and left-to-right weight distribution is heavily determined by how a vehicle is designed from the factory. Moving components around within the chassis for the ideal static weight distribution is best, but adding ballast isn't preferable if a minimum weight rule applies. Before ballast is added to correct left-to-right imbalances, the builder must first determine if the extra weight added to correct the imbalance will outweigh the shortcomings of additional overall vehicle weight. Just about every vehicle can benefit from a 50/50 left-right distribution, as this will help equalize grip in left and righthand turns. However, the same can't be said for front-to-rear weight distribution. In my opinion, slightly adjusting front/rear weight distribution should typically be done for tuning rather than adding weight to hit the magic 50/50 figure. Drag cars, of course, can benefit from more rear bias since little is needed from the front tires.
John Hotchkis: Wedge or reverse-wedge simply refers to intentionally biasing the crossweight of a car to help it turn in one direction. If the right-front-to-left-rear crossweight is greater than 50 percent, a car has wedge. If it's less than 50 percent, then it has reverse-wedge. Since oval track cars only turn left, they run wedge to assist with corner exit speed. This is also done in conjunction with running lots of positive camber on the inside tire. The result is a car that's so weight jacked in one direction that they don't even drive straight down the straightaways. You actually have to turn the wheel to the right to get them to turn straight. Although that's an extreme example, for cars that turn left and right you usually want to get the crossweight as close to 50 percent as you can, even if the road course or autocross that you're on has more right turns than left turns, or vice versa. Typically, whatever you'll gain turning in one direction by biasing the crossweight will be overshadowed by the decrease in handling when turning in the opposite direction. If a car turns right more than it turns left, then setting the camber differently on the right front tire is a much better alternative than biasing the crossweight. The next step is tuning a car to the racing surface with tire pressure and shock valving adjustments. CHP

Intel's 14nm Broadwell GPU takes shape, indicates major improvements over Haswell November 5, 2013 at 10:21 am
Ahead of its 2014 launch, Intel has started open-sourcing the Linux driver for Broadwell's GPU. Broadwell is the 14nm die shrink of Intel's Haswell microarchitecture, and while the CPU side of things isn't expected to change much, Broadwell's GPU looks like it will be a broad (!) and significant reworking of the Intel HD 5000-series (Iris) GPU found in Haswell.
PS4 vs. Xbox One: Battlefield 4 on next-gen consoles closes the gap on PC gaming master race October 31, 2013 at 9:45 am
Attention glorious PC master race: If you've played boat-deep in Battlefield 4 on your gaming rig, laughing at the obvious inferiority of the PS3 and Xbox 360 versions, you might want to have a seat and maybe stop maniacally cackling for a minute. In just two short weeks, the PS4 and Xbox One versions of the game will release and subsequently invade the internet with posts from next-gen early console adopters. While you may initially think that means you can continue your maniacal cackling from that very high horse of a mesh-back manager's chair, it turns out the next-gen versions of the game will nearly be on par with the PC.

Xbox One graphics currently output in 900p, worse than PS4's 1080p (Updated) October 15, 2013 at 2:45 pm
In the ongoing prerelease war between Sony's PS4 and Microsoft's Xbox One, the PS4 continually appears to be the clear victor, from Sony's E3 showing and Microsoft's DRM and indie game debacle, to the PS4's superior hardware and the Xbox One's higher price. Now, a mysterious insider that has leaked correct Microsoft info in the past, is claiming that the Xbox One can't output in 1080p, and tops out at a mere 900p.
Xbox One games will have more access to the GPU, better graphics in the future, says Microsoft October 3, 2013 at 3:17 pm
While it's common knowledge that the PS4 has more horsepower than the Xbox One, Microsoft isn't content with being labeled as "underpowered." Coming up to the next-gen launch (and beyond), Microsoft is actually increasing the amount of processing power that developers have to work with. We've already seen increases in CPU clock-speed, but it turns out that Microsoft is actually willing to give up some of the OS-dedicated resources down the road.
PS4 and Xbox One: The diminishing returns of next-gen console graphics September 30, 2013 at 2:33 pm
While the PS4 and Xbox One boast hardware specs that are much more powerful than their predecessors, the actual difference in visual quality between the PS3 and PS4 or Xbox 360 and Xbox One will be minimal. We would be much wiser to focus on other attributes that aren't yet affected by the diminishing returns of faster chips, such as AI and art direction, but we'll soon see if developers and publishers feel the same way.
The future of ray tracing, reviewed: Caustic's R2500 accelerator finally moves us towards real-time ray tracing August 1, 2013 at 12:58 pm
Caustic Professional launched its new dedicated ray tracing solutions earlier this year, and we've gotten one of the high-end samples to test. Is this the future of consumer graphics?
Nvidia demos Tegra 5 (Logan): Kepler finally comes to mobile, and it's amazing July 25, 2013 at 9:24 am
Nvidia has taken the wraps off the Logan (Tegra 5) SoC. Nvidia isn't talking about the CPU yet (it's probably Cortex-A15, like Tegra 4), but the GPU… oh the GPU is a mobile version of Kepler that blows every other mobile graphics solution out of the water. Mobile Kepler can match the performance of the iPad 4's GPU while consuming one-third of the power. Perhaps more importantly, though, mobile Kepler finally brings feature/API parity to PCs, next-gen consoles, and smartphones.
Chip startup plans new mobile processor that enables always-on cameras July 11, 2013 at 9:30 am

Generally speaking, I love strange people. Let me clarify. I love the quirky, offbeat, and freakishly brilliant. These are people who might obsess over a certain historical figure or know everything imaginable about farming practices during the Neolithic period. They might read 5 books a week on whatever topic has captured their keen attention and then move onto their next area of study. If they were teenagers in the late 1980s, they made hundreds of mix tapes full of songs by unknown bands. While perhaps a bit socially awkward, these kinds of people are both infinitely gifted and g
Recently, another librarian and I were batting around title ideas for a new book discussion group when I had to stop and double-check the names for two authors. Was I remembering their names correctly? Surely they didn't BOTH share "Moriarty" as a last name. I mean, that's kind of unusual, isn't it?
Eighth grade. I was sitting in Mrs. Wolffes's English class wearing bell-bottom hip-huggers and a smock top. I wore small gold wire-framed glasses and my nails were perfectly manicured in frosty lilac. At the end of class Mrs. Wolffes approached me and said she had just finished a book she thought I would enjoy. She gave me the title and the author's name; Zelda by Nancy Milford.
When Donna Tartt published her first novel, The Secret History, in 1992 I was smitten. For me, she had written the perfect book—one that appealed to me on every level—the setting (college in New England), the characters (intellectuals with a dark side), the plot (taught psychological drama), and exquisite language that made me read slowly to savor every word.
I recently stumbled upon a new book that caught my attention; Shakespeare Saved My Life: Ten Years in Solitary with the Bard by Laura Bates. Who could resist such a provocative title? I must admit that as a librarian I already subscribed to the notion that books have the power to change lives, so the author was preaching to the choir. However, this book made me think about a lot of things, not the least of which was the U.S. prison system.

Yahoo Resignation Letter
Yahoo! has been losing exec's faster than, well, AOL used to. If you have been following the Terry Semel firing and the failed MSFT take over news, you know that Yahoo has really lost a lot of talent lately. Techcrunch.com had an article on a site that makes the resignation easier for people still there. And it is rather funny.

A Knot
As a follow-up to my Jamestown post, one of the things we learned was where the sailing term "Knot" came from. I have always known that a knot is 15% smaller than the same speed in miles/hour. But where did that term come from?
Below is what the sailing term "a Knot" is based off of. The sailor used a spool of rope like the one shown below. They put the end of the rope with the wooden "paddle" in the water and allowed it to un-spool with the speed of the ship. They timed the process with a sand timer (about 30 seconds) and then counted the number of actual knots that had been spooled into the water (the knots are on the rope and you can see one of them on the right side of the spool). They used this in the 1700's to get from England to the "New World".
Today I use a wrist watch which receives microwave signals from a constellation of 30+ satellites which can tell me within 15 feet where I am anywhere on earth.
Oh, and this marvel of technology can still tell me how fast I am going in Knots!!!

I participate in fantasy football. I did not say "play" as that would suggest some type of physical exertion being involved. You don't play "Dungeons & Dragons," dipshits, you take part in it. Same with sex, for that matter, Level 8 "Mage." I'm not one of these off-the-deep-end guys that has 24 teams and tracks which receivers lead the league in YAC (one point each!). I am in one league. I have one team. The smack-talking and one night a year of binge drinking it constitutes completely validate my involvement as far as I'm concerned. So, yea, I bought one of those Fantasy Football Ranking Magazines the other day to see who I should draft. It took until page 32 until I read a SINGLE GODDAMN THING about the Steelers. So I bout another; page 29. And another; page fucking 33. The returns of Tom Brady, Favre and Vick, The "Wildcat" and Mark Sanchez all took precedence.
Look, I don't say this to decry Fantasy Sports, far from it. They draw non-fans to the sport, give casual fans a reason to watch just about every game and expedite the divorce precedings of avid fans. And this slighting isn't germane to fantasy coverage, either. Of course, Ben's joke of a litigation issue had it's few days mention mid-summer, but otherwise it's as if The Steelers' earning of a 6th Championship simply cannot be book-ended with a 7th.
I get it. We're boring. We win without as much flash as most and we don't mix with celebrities, have front office fisticuffs or appear on the police blotter as much as some teams. Hell, Ben has to donate a shitload to regional police organizations just to keep them up to date with the Bengals' latest arsenals.
I'm not ashamed to say I openly wondered what it would take to motivate me as a fan this year. Would repeating be enough? For a long time watching and then passing the Niners and Cowboys in Lombardis was a big motivator. Sure, I'll always hate the Ratbirds and want to paste our Ohio divisional opponents (SEE: Pathetic Franchises). I'll always be found at Heinz or in front of the biggest HDTV that can be commandeered on Sundays. But would the FIRE be there?
But the more I read and hear, the more I realize The Steelers are an afterthought. Many will concede that we'll take the division, though not all. But as far as being the "Top Dog"? Forget about it, only Chahida at ESPN things we're #1. Perhaps this is because it is so difficult to repeat? But who/what did we really lose? 2 defensive starters and our 3rd wide out? The fuck?
This slight, at least as far as predictions are concerned, pisses me right off. I wrote about this last year, how The Steelers' simply are too boring for their own good in this manner. Fine. Myself (and the Rooneys, I'm sure) prefer it that way.
Of course, if we make it to the playoffs all sorts of assholes will take credit, saying they "called it." from the start. They'll run story's like "Can #7 take the Steelers to a 7th?" and Dynastic comparison pieces. BUT WHERE IS THAT SHIT NOW? Crickets fucking chirping.
More on why I'm getting fired up next week...

The other night on one of the pre-season games, one of the douche-nozzle talking heads, when discussing teams that run the 3-4 defense, mentioned the Steelers dead last as an afterthought. While I don't mind the Steelers flying under the radar, some recognition might be nice. Anyway, what I really mean is, thanks for the picture.
Dude, you spend too much time around the crappy ass "writers" at KSK. They are seriously ruining you thought patterns.
You're a Steelers fan with a book in print, and you're fretting about what others are saying about your team in print?
You must separate reality from fantasy. How does one win in fantasy? By drafting players from teams that score a bunch of points because that HAVE to score bunches of points. I won one of my two leagues last year because I drafted players from the highest scoring teams (read, no defense). Skip the magazines and just join a info warehouse for fantasy like FBG.
Fuck all the preseason prognosticators I say...this is why we are die hard fans.
Enjoy the NFL as a Steelers fan, and good luck in the fantasy realm.

Personally, I prefer they not talk about us. But maybe that's because of the Cowher Era and expecting us to shit the bed when we're the favorites and to crack skulls when we're a 6th seed with no chance or a team with a flawed offensive line that can't get it done.

Generic Viagra is a prescription drug that takes care of the physical dilemma of erectile dysfunction in men. Sildenafil citrate is the major component of generic viagra pills that dilates the arteries in the penis and allows filling of blood in small spaces of penis that hardens and gets erect.

Hydrocodone Online
is one of the most commonly abused prescription pain medications today. One of the most widely prescribed medications, Cheap Vicodin
and its related medications, loricet, loritab percodan, and oxycontin are opioid-based pain medications. Cheap Hydrocodone
is a derivative of opium, which is also used to manufacture heroin. Individuals with a Vicodin addiction become deeply depressed, and their thinking, attention, and judgement become impaired. Their thoughts dwell on the next high, although they tell themselves they are still taking Vicodin for pain or to avoid the withdrawal symptoms. Individuals with a Vicodin addiction often truly feel physical pain, but it is psychologically produced.

Generic Cialis functions by inhibiting the action of an enzyme, known as PDE5. Generic Levitra helps increase the flow of blood to the penis, so it may help men with ED get and keep an erection that lasts long enough to have successful sex.

Teri "Lyric" Green
Take The Stage Webseries Finalist
I literally went from Orphan to Engineer, emancipating from Jane Adams Hull House at the age of 21.
With an unfortunate hand being dealt, I was and still am inspired by poets such as Maya Angelou, Nikki Giovanni, Indie Arie, and Lauren Hill.I read their stories and realize life doesn't end because of tragedy.
Life is based on choices. My past gives me the fuel to succeed and strive to be better than what others perceive me to be.
My favorite quote is "It's not where you come from, but where you decide to go".
I've mixed my love for technology, writing, and music to create a sound that is unique. My music is defined with truth, passion, pain, and love, and I tell the stories that only are within me.
My poems are like testaments, and as I preach I entertain.
When asked what helps me define my name, I say I am the voice of the unheard that refuses to be silent; I am the strength for the weak who has no clue how to fight back. I am softly crafted words formulated together creating Lyric.

Digital Photography and the Need for Speed
Posted By Sean Johnson On June 30, 2009 @ 7:59 am In Advice for Clients | 4 Comments
Progress has long been associated with the ability to do things faster. So it has been with digital photography.
Along with zillions of megapixels, fourth-generation Photoshop, and cameras that can sometimes make hobbyists look like seasoned pros, the digital age has brought us the ability to finish jobs faster.
It has also led to impatient clients with a "need for speed" when hiring out photography assignments.
Faster vs. Better
But is faster always better?
Sure, the car is better than the horse and buggy. But is fast food better than "slow" food?
Whereas once photographers shot on film, took the film to the lab, waited for the film to be processed, and only then revealed the finished product to the client, we can now simply press the shutter release and have an image ready in seconds. Shooting tethered has taken this to an extreme — enabling us to connect a computer to the camera and see our images appear on screen at almost the moment we shoot them.
No doubt, this is technological progress. And it gives us the capacity to increase our turnaround speed dramatically on assignments.
But just because you can do something, that doesn't always mean you should.
Patience Rewarded
In the days of film, we had the ability to proof on Polaroid film as a compositional and exposure measure. We could take a clip test from film stock that would again allow us to ensure all was well and then "push or pull" processing times, allowing us to compensate for exposure if required (within reason). We could affect so much in the print production from slide or negative film stock — and that's not mentioning the necessity and potential in marrying the right film stock to the project in the first place.
Digital photography allows the photographer an even greater degree of control. And unlike with film, all the tools to create a polished finished product are in the photographer's hands, if he or she takes the time to use them.
The problem is often the client's expectation — and increasingly, demand — for speed.
If you are a photography client, understand that you are only short-changing yourself by rushing the process. By allowing the photographer adequate time for post-production, you will receive considerably better images than if you insist on downloading them onto your computer immediately after the shoot.

#1 Comment By Will Seberger On June 30, 2009 @ 5:50 pm
Sure, digital is in some ways faster. Mainly in the speed at which a photographer can go from camera to edit.
But it, in my experience, does not allow for faster processing. Through a loupe or on-screen it can take time to find, crop and dust-spot images.
Additionally, the digital era has ushered in a client-side concept that poor planning and weak subjects can be fixed in Photoshop. Somehow a boring, poorly lit conference room can be transformed into the Taj Mahal through the magic of electrons and silicon wafers.
The same old rule applies: Good, fast, cheap. Pick any two.
#2 Comment By ThePortfolioPro On July 1, 2009 @ 1:43 pm
You bring up and interesting argument about Digital Photography and I agree with lots of your points. Quantity doesn't not equal Quality. It's an easy ratio.
#3 Comment By bryan grant photography On November 9, 2010 @ 11:59 am
digital post processing should take longer then film because we now go threw each image by "hand" and apply more editing ourselves then leaving it up to a lab to do.
#4 Comment By Paul On March 11, 2013 @ 2:21 pm
most clients only want shoot and burn so they can print at Walmart and all we have around here is photographers at 20$ an hour ...its not easy going for the 1500$ shoots ...im getting some but i work my ass off 24/7 trying to make it ...in a small hick town like here people dont care about quality ...its how many pictures can i get .
I actually had one client complain that i only gave them 60 pics for a senior portrait shoot ...and i only charged 250$. I had to give them the pics the next day.
So does quality over power quantity ? Not always ...they want 5$ buffet crap .
I think that i get around 1 out of 5 clients that want quality ..the rest want more ,more more and forget quality .

Upping the Aunty
Follow this project through the Upping the Aunty Tumblr.
Upping the Aunty is a work in progress of mixed-media paintings that celebrate the iconic "South Asian Aunty"; her personal style and her unique role in our lives.
In South Asian culture, an aunty may or may not be a biological relation. She may be a friend of the family or a stranger. But if she is older than you – old enough to be your mother's friend – then she is accorded the status of aunty. Neither our mothers nor part of our peer group, aunties may be trusted confidantes or gatekeepers of social decorum.
There are many aunties, and we may meet them every week, occasionally or only once; however they have a considerable impact on our lives. In jest, we may fondly mimic their gold and diamond studded hand gestures or their pairing of traditional clothing with running shoes. This mimicry is a form of distancing, while simultaneously drawing attention to cultural traditions that may continue unbroken, be discarded, or are transformed.
Upping the Aunty will honour this unique relationship through portraiture by paying homage to the fabulousness of aunty style and the importance of their role as transmitters of social and cultural knowledge and practices.
Who's your aunty? Do you dig her style. Post a photo on your preferred social network with the hashtag #uppingtheaunty and make sure to tell me about it at email@example.com.
A special thank you to the Ontario Arts Council and the Canada Council for supporting this project.

MILLIONS of insects are forced to march across great swathes of western North America each year. They are driven not just by terrible hunger but also by the merciless cannibal jaws of their comrades.
Unfortunately for Mormon crickets, this is not an invertebrate horror movie, it is real life. When they march together, they can move up to 2 kilometres a day, driven by the need for food and salt. The insect army can cause serious crop damage, but unlike locusts they don't devour all the plants in their path.
Curious as to whether nutritional requirements could explain this behaviour, Stephen Simpson of the University of Sydney, Australia, and Greg Sword of the US Department of Agriculture's research service placed foods rich in either proteins or carbohydrates in the path of the marching insects. The crickets showed a clear preference for the protein-rich food (Proceedings of the National Academy of ...

Poor Mandy Moore. First she split from flirty Zach Braff, then she battled depression, and now, just when things are starting to look up for the good girl, Britney rolls in trying to hog her limelight.
Last Friday, as paparazzi hovered outside a Santa Monica hotel where Moore was doing press interviews inside, Spears supposedly cruised by in her car, desperate for the cameras to turn on her. A source who saw the sad attempt go down said, "She drove really slowly and doubled back on herself to make sure that everyone who wanted to get a shot, got a shot."
Mandy has an album and a movie about to drop, and all Brit's got going on is a bad weave and a nipple slip. Oh wait – and this great pic of her flipping the bird. She's accomplished so much this week! How dare the photogs ignore her?
