OpenArena 0.8.5 Is Out With Small Changes
Published on 23 February 2010 09:33 PM EST

While the ioquake3-powered OpenArena game is not as advanced or popular as say
, it is a fairly popular free software game amongst those using an open-source Mesa3D driver stack. It's not too graphically rich yet provides competitive and fun FPS game-play -- it can also be used for Mesa driver benchmarking.
The last notable release of OpenArena was OpenArena 0.8.1 and it came way back near the end of 2008. Since then there hasn't been anything in the way of major developments to report on, but today they have jumped to OpenArena 0.8.5 and have released it as a patch.
OpenArena 0.8.5 offers new effects (rocket smoke, shotgun sparks, flares), new maps, improvements to existing maps, improved CTF skins, and new skins for other in-game characters.
Details on the OpenArena 0.8.5 patch along with Linux download links can be found in the

Video: Cruiser pins burglary suspect to building
Suspect fled a halfway house and tried entering several campus buildings prior to pursuit
By PoliceOne Staff
UNIVERSITY CITY, Pa. — Pursuit of a burglary suspect on a college campus ended when a police cruiser pinned the suspect to a campus building.
Walter Johnson was seen on surveillance video trying to enter several locked buildings after having left a halfway house without permission.
Drexel police claimed he and another man were trying to break into the buildings using screwdrivers, according to ABC6.
Johnson's lawyer Bob Levant denied their use of screwdrivers, citing they don't appear on film. He claimed Johnson was looking for a public rest room.
"I can't get in the heads of those officers. But the video suggests that car was intentionally pointed at Mr. Johnson and driven into him," said Levant.
Philadelphia's district attorney dropped the charges Drexel filed against Johnson, according to the article.
He has been in prison since the incident for violating his parole. A new parole hearing is expected soon as well as the formal filing of a civil rights lawsuit on his behalf against Drexel University and the school police officers involved.

Art and Architecture of the Renaissance Giotto Di Bondone (1267 – 1337) – Madonna in Glory Born just outside of Florence At the end of the 13th century, several technically skilled painters emerged Broke from the frozen Byzantine style for softer, more lifelike forms (up to that point, Italian painters had portrayed subjects in a flat, unrealistic manner) Giotto's frescos were the first since the Roman period to render human forms suggesting weight and roundness Made Madonna (like other Byzantine artists) larger than the saints and angels who surrounded her Also designed the bell tower for the Duomo in Florence Madonna in Glory Duomo Florence, Italy 1296-1436 AD (Built) Third largest cathedral in the world Carved bronze doors – three arches at entrance Bell tower designed by Giotto Dome designed by Brunelleschi Gothic and Byzantine influence Considered a great engineering feat Dome was a key feature of the Renaissance Early Renaissance – 1400s Donatello (1386 – 1466) Born in Florence Great Italian sculptor Did three well-known statues of David – first life-size, freestanding nude since the Classical period, bronze Contrapposto – weight concentrated on one leg with the rest of the body relaxed, often turned Supported by Medici family David Sandro Botticello (1444 – 1510) Lived and worked in Florence Clear, rhythmic lines, delicate color, lavish decoration (Byzantine influence) Didn't share interest of fellow Florentines in nature and science – two kinds of works 1) mythological and 2) religious Painted all women the same – features, coloring, hair, etc Criticized by da Vinci Principal patrons were the Medici dynasty, for whom he created alter pieces, portraits, allegories, and banners Dreamlike, otherworldly atmosphere in art Birth of Venus (in Uffizi) Rebirth of Classical mythology in the Renaissance Well manicured hands and feet Primavera (in Uffizi) Shows the garden of Venus, the goddess of love Probably commissioned by a Medici to hang in a room adjoining the wedding chamber of his townhouse in Florence Mercury, the messenger of gods, is shown wearing his winged boots; he was the son of the nymph Maia, whose name was given to the month of May – the month in which the marriage of the Medici commissioner took place in 1482. Mercury uses his wand entwined with snakes to hold back the clouds so that nothing can ruin the eternal spring of Venus' garden. Intertwined hands, intricate drapers folds, and flowing hair of the Three Graces display his perfection of crisp lines. Their pointed faces, long necks, and curving bellies embody the ideal feminine beauty in Renaissance Florence. Venus is wearing the characteristic headdress of a Florentine married woman – a reference to the nuptial theme of the painting Cupid mischievously aims his arrow at the Three Graces Zephyrus (god of West Wind) courted Chloris (startled nymph) and made her his wife, transforming her into the goddess Flora Flora – balances the right-hand side of the painting; embodiment of beauty and is a reference of the joy of marriage; symbol of Florence "City of Flowers" Jan Van Eyck (1385 – 1444) Born in Netherlands He and his brother were the first to use oil painting – Hubert so idolized for his discovery that his right arm was preserved as a holy relic Painted the most microscopic details in brilliant, glowing color Style emphasizes natural lighting effects, vivid color, and rich precise details Arnolfini Wedding (the Betrothal of the Arnolfini) This painting is a portrait of Giovanni di Nicolao Arnolfini and his wife Giovanna Cenami in a Flemish bedchamber. It is one of the most original and complex paintings in Western art history. Currently part of the collection of the National Gallery in London (which acquired it in 1842), van Eyck executed the work with oil on oak panel in 1434. Example of symbolic arrangement of images within the painting The placement of the two figures suggests conventional gender roles – the woman stands near the bed and well into the room, symbolic of her role as the caretaker, whereas the man stands near the open window, symbolic of the outside world. Giovanni looks directly out at the viewer, his wife gazes obediently at her husband. The oranges on the chest below the window may refer to fertility and symbolize the purity and innocence that reigned in the Garden of Eden before the Fall of Man. They are also a token of prosperity, since these fruits could be afforded only by the wealthy few. Crystal prayer beads were typical gift from the groom The small medallions set into the mirror frame show tiny scenes from the Passion of Christ and represent God's promise of salvation for the figures reflected on the mirror's convex surface, which in turn, represent the eye of the Christian God observing the vows of the wedding. The dog symbolizes loyalty Post of bed is surmounted by a carved St. Margaret – patron saint of childbirth Chandelier has one lit candle – symbol of unity Whisk broom symbolizes bride's responsibility Whole scene is reflected in the mirror ( as well as the artist) Signature says "Jan Van Eyck was here" over the mirror. The artist signature is lettered in script normally used for legal documents. The green of the woman's dress symbolizes fertility and hope, possibly the hope of becoming a mother and her white cap signifies purity. The bride is wearing a pillow under her dress in hopes of fertility Cast off shoes – holy ground Hands are central to Christian marriage and unify picture reflected in chandelier above By applying layer after layer of translucent thin glazes, van Eyck created a painting with an almost reflective surface. The intense glowing colors also help to highlight the realism and underscore the material wealth and opulence of Arnolfini's world. He took advantage of the longer drying time (than compared to tempera) of the oil medium to blend colors and to achieve subtle variations in light and shade so as to heighten the illusion of three-dimensional forms. He carefully distinguished textures and manages to capture surface appearance precisely. Also, he rendered effects of both direct and diffused light by depicting the light from the window on the left reflecting off various surfaces. Hieronymous Bosch (1450 – 1516) Father and Grandfather were painters Historians know little about him; bizarre imagination Bosch showed that the traditions and achievements of painting which had been developed to represent reality most convincingly could be turned round, as it were, to give us an equally plausible picture of things no human eye had seen. Typical painting consists of many separate episodes and a variety of symbolic actions – paintings tell a story that have a religious or moral meaning – he saw evil everywhere Painted panoramic landscapes crowded with figures of people, demons, and fantastic dreams; Innovative torments as punishment for sinners Seemed to believe that humanity was doomed to tortures in Hell because of the foolish, greedy, and lustful nature of human beings Best known work is a triptych (three-piece painting) called Garden of Earthly Delights Paradise and Hell (Two portions of Garden of Earthly Delights) On the left we watch evil invading the world. The creation of Eve is followed by the temptation of Adam and both are driven out of Paradise, while high above in the sky we see the fall of the rebellious angels, who are hurled from heaven as a swarm of repulsive insects. On the other wing we are shown a vision of hell. There we see horror piled upon horror, fires and torments and all manner of fearful demons, half animal, half human or half machine, who plague and punish the poor sinful souls for all eternity. For the first and perhaps for the only time, an artist had succeeded in giving concrete and tangible shape to the fears that had haunted the minds of man in the Middle Ages. It was an achievement which was perhaps only possible at this very moment, when the old ideas were still vigorous and yet the modern spirit had provided the artist with methods of representing what he saw. Garden of Earthly Delights Each panel shows a separate but interrelated scene, organized around the themes of creation, fall, and damnation of the human race. Scholars are divided about its ultimate meaning, but most agree that Bosch was a stern moralist, mocking the corrupt society of his day. The center panel is the dramatic focus of the triptych, and depicts the sins of the flesh in lurid and metaphorical detail. The diverse images in this panel are thought to symbolize Bosch's perspective on the human condition: perpetual enslavement to the sexual appetite unleashed by Adam and Eve's original sin. The right panel is a repulsive portrait of Hell and the inescapable torment of sinful human beings. A horrific scene of fiery ruins and grisly instruments of torture, this panel seems to proclaim Bosch's hopeless vision of the futility of life on earth. The artist seems to say that human beings cause their own destruction through wicked desires. Nowhere in the entire work is there a hint of salvation. Pieter Bruegel (1525 – 69) Influenced by Bosch's pessimism and satiric approach Painter of Peasants – peasant life was his subject; common workers merrymaking, feasting, and dancing; Scenes are congested – lots of activity His paintings, including his landscapes and scenes of peasant life, stress the absurd and vulgar, yet are full of zest and fine detail. They also expose human weaknesses and follies. People began to think of him as a peasant, a common mistake to confuse an artist with his subject A Peasant Wedding – Best-known work features guests eating and drinking gluttonously Hunters in the Snow High Renaissance – 1500 Leonardo da Vinci (1452 – 1514) Born in Vinci – near Florence Illegitimate son of a peasant girl – time when illegitimacy was extremely frowned upon Most of life worked for foreign dukes and princes who were often at war with Florence Medici family essentially ignored him; spent his last years in the service of the French monarchy Designed parachutes and flying machines, and drew plans for hundreds of inventions – way ahead of his time; fascinated with heights; Avid mountain climber – loved to scale great heights Abandoned the use of fresco because he wanted to create shadows Portrayals of the human anatomy are excellent Lived in a hospital studying skeletons and over 30 cadavers "Renaissance Man" – omnitalented individual who radiates wisdom Constantly stressed the intellectual aspects of art and creativity, and transformed the artist's public status into a "Lord and God," as he put it. Distractions constantly lured him from one unfinished project to the next Less than 20 paintings by him survive The Last Supper (On wall of Santa Maria delle Grazie) Shows disciples in several small groups responding differently to Christ when he tells them one of them will betray him – facial expressions and gestures Christ in the middle creates balance Tried new method to create shadows, but the idea didn't work and the wall began to flake – Renovated inch by inch Church was bombed twice during WWII and the wall was never harmed; building was also used as a stable at one point Use of perspective – with all diagonal lines converging on Christ's head – Christ as apex of the pyramidal configuration Mona Lisa (Louvre) Mona – Mrs. Or Ms. Young wife of a Florentine merchant, just lost a child, and husband was at sea The Mona Lisa's enigmatic expression, which seems both alluring and aloof, has given the portrait universal fame. Pyramidal configuration – lines converge at head Hung in Napoleon's bedroom until put in louver in 1804 Stolen twice – 1911 (from the Louvre and was missing for two years) and was found two years later in a Florence hotel room, and again, slashed once then put in a case and protected 24 hrs Eyebrows are missing because it is believed they were erased in a restoration Relaxed, natural, ¾ pose – diverged from the norm Perspective, chiaroscuro, realized full potential of the new oil medium One of the first easel paintings intended to be framed and hung on a wall Most admired and reproduced image in all art Michelangelo (1475 – 1564) Born near Florence to a respectable family, full name is a Michelangelo Buonarroti; spent most of his working life in Rome Grew up absorbed with carving, drawing, and art, even though his family beat him severely to force him into a "respectable" profession. Moved in with the Medici family at age 15, after they recognized his talent Deeply influenced by Donatello; learned body movement from Leonardo Sculptor, painter, architect, and poet Pieta in Rome (1498) and David in Florence (1501-04) both created before he was 30. Sistine Chapel ceiling in Rome (1508-12) when he was in his mid-30s Driven by Christianity; God created life from clay, and the sculptor "liberated the figure from the marble that imprisoned it" When someone said it was a shame he never married and had children, he said that his demanding art was a harassing wife enough, and his works left behind would be his sons. Always carved from one block, never added marble David 14 ft high; Hands are big to show that he is not yet an adult Embodies physical beauty and mental strength (David and Goliath) Sistene Chapel Commissioned by Pope Julius II – only supposed to be a few vines on a blue background; turned into more than 340 human figures representing the origin and fall of man – most ambitious undertaking of the entire Renaissance Shows 9 OT scenes including 3 each of the story of Adam and Eve, Noah and the Flood, and the Creation. Surrounded by 12 larger than life OT prophets; Last Judgement takes up a whole wall – finished 29 yrs after ceiling Worked on a seven-story high scaffold in a cramped position Roof leaked, which made the plaster too damp, nearly ½ the length of a football field (Creation of Adam) Pieta Inside of St. Peters Originally meant to be a tombstone for a Pope; 5 feet by 5 feet Mary was supposed to resemble his mother who died when he was young. One of the first designs of a body lying in this fashion Carved when he was 21 – when first unveiled, a viewer attributed the work to a more experienced sculptor, when he heard, he carved his name on a ribbon across the Virgin's breast – the only work he ever signed Attacked by a man with a hammer – her face and left arm were damaged; it was repaired, but it is now in a protected cage. St. Peter's The Vatican in Italy 1507-1612 Built It is believed to be the site of the crucifixion and burial of St. Peter – one of the twelve apostles of Jesus Raphael (among others) was the original architect, but Michelangelo is given the credit for the design (especially the dome) 54,402 square feet Bernini designed the colonnades – 280 Doric columns surround the plaza The Vatican is the second largest church and has the largest collection of art Capacity of over 60,000 people 25.5 m tall obelisk. The obelisk was moved to its present location in 1585 The obelisk dates back to the 13th century BC in Egypt, and was moved to Rome in the 1st century to stand in Nero's Circus some 250 m away. Including the cross on top and the base the obelisk reaches 40 m. On top of the obelisk there used to be a large bronze globe allegedly containing the ashes of Julius Caesar, this was removed as the obelisk was erected in St. Peter's Square. There are also two fountains in the square, the south one by Maderno (1613) and the northern one by Bernini (1675). Raphael (1483 – 1520) Born in Urbino, Italy – died on his 37th birthday when he caught a fever after a midnight assignation, and was well-liked and would have been voted most pop out of the three High Ren (Raph, da Vinci, Mich) Born and died on Good Friday Father was a court painter – taught him basics By 17, he was big time; called to Rome by the Pope at age 26 to decorate the Vatican rooms; he completed the frescoes, aided by an arm y of 50 students, the same year Michelangelo finished the Sistine ceiling Incorporates architectural features into his paintings Popular works are gentle paintings of Madonna, uses pyramidal compositions His art most completely expressed all the qualities of the High Renaissance art – from da Vinci he borrowed pyramidal composition and learned to use light and shadow with faces (chiaroscuro), and from Michelangelo, he adapted full-bodied, dynamic figures and the contrapposto pose. The Sistine Madonna The figures stand on a bed of clouds, framed by heavy curtains which open to either side. The Virgin actually appears to descend from a heavenly space, through the picture plane, out into the real space in which the painting is hung. Titian (1487 – 1576) Born in Venice Recognized by his contemporaries as "the sun amidst small stars", Titian was one of the most versatile of Italian painters, equally adept with portraits and landscapes (two genres that first brought him fame), mythological and religious subjects. Mannerism – exaggeration of the stylistic achievements of the Renaissance; contorted and elongated bodies, strong light-dark contrasts, extremely unclear special alignments, Bright colors, bold brushstrokes, showed human facial expressions and gestures Generally uses red background, 30-40 layers of glaze to tone down the vivid hues – through this method he was able to portray any texture (polished metal, shiny silk, red-gold hair, or warm flesh) convincingly. Influenced El Greco and Rembrandt Broke the time-honored rules of composition – moved Madonna from center of paintings His work, which permanently affected the course of European painting, provided an alternative, of equal power and attractiveness, to the linear and sculptural Florentine tradition championed by Michelangelo and Raphael; this alternative was eagerly taken up by Peter Paul Rubens, Diego Velazquez, Rembrandt, Eugene Delacroix, and the Impressionists. His paintings create a Venetian counterpart to High Renaissance style: equally complex, monumental, and dynamic, but one which made full use of the traditional Venetian resources of color, free brushwork, and atmospheric tone. Most of Titian's work is deep and emotionally charged, marking the transition of High Renaissance period into the emerging Baroque era. Fame almost paralleled Michelangelo Painted with his fingers as opposed to brushes at the end Died of the plague at roughly age 90 The Allegory of Time Governed by Prudence Painted three heads alluding to the three ages of man: youth, maturity and old age. This series of portraits, painted when Titian was nearly eighty years old, could be said to be a metaphor for "a life lived." The left head resembles Titian himself in old age, the bearded central man has been thought to represent his son Orazio, and the youth may depict his cousin and heir, Marco Vecellio (born 1545) Hans Holbein (1497 – 1524) Known for portraits – one of greatest portraitists ever Famous painter of Henry VIII and his wives Set the standard for portraits – tended to show his subjects in a flattering light Henry VIII Albrecht Durer (1471 – 1528) Born in Nuremberg, Germany Admired by Raphael and was known as the "Leonardo of the North" Fascinated with nature, and believed art should be based on careful scientific studies – insisted on tramping through a swamp to see the body of a whale and died of a subsequent fever Best known for his graphic work and woodcuts and first to use printmaking as a major medium for art Study of Praying Hands El Greco (1541 – 1614) Born in Italy, did most of his work in Spain 7 of his works are in the Metropolitan Museum of Art due to late popularity. Mary Cassatt purchased them for the Museum while she was in Europe First started in the highly patterned Byzantine style, but was then influenced by Michelangelo, Raphael, and the Mannerists in Rome Self-confident and said Michelangelo couldn't paint and offered to revamp "The Last Judgment" Unnatural light of uncertain origin and harsh colors like strong pink, acid green, and brilliant blue and yellow – mannerism Elongated limbs, distorts forms, swirling movement in religious paintings to emphasize emotion – mannerism; Surreal, emotionally intense paintings View of Toledo The Spoliation The Spoliation is considered one of the most stunning depiction's of Christ, particularly given the luminous red robe in a crowed of muted figures. The scene depicts Christ at the foot of the cross as it, as well as he, are prepared for the crucifixion.

Geeky, artistic jack of all trades.
I'm not going to say I can't describe myself, I can. I just don't like to, if I were put my personality into just a few words, they would be smart, creative, caring, loyal, loving, and hidden. I'm a photographer by trade and passion. I'll photograph just about anything or anyone...except weddings. It's easier to explain in person than here. For the past few years I've been trying to make the move to working for myself. But it's pretty tough when everybody has a camera and is satisfied with casual snapshots. I'm looking for someone who can appreciate the fact that no one is perfect and be willing to give a second chance if I make a mistake, someone who is not high strung, and someone who enjoys; art, movies, tv, and relaxing with friends or a loved one. It would be great to find someone that is geeky and creative as well.

James Does Sapphism??,
This review is from: The Bostonians: A Novel (Penguin Classics) (Paperback)
Firstly I should warn anyone reading this Penguin edition, the print is a bit on the small side and may not be easily read by some people, also if you have never read any Henry James before, this isn't the best book to start with.
This tale came out in 1886 in novel form, after first being serialized. The year saw two James novels come out in print, this one and The Princess Casamassima (Classics), neither of them received very flattering reviews and both of them are now referred to as his 'political novels'. This book has always been more popular on this side of the Atlantic whilst the other one has always been more popular in the US. I won't go into details why this is so but looking at the US site for Amazon I see that this book has obviously gained in popularity.
The story itself is very simple, but of course with most of James' tales it is drawn out. Olive Chancellor feels it her duty to invite her cousin, Basil Ransom to visit her in Boston. Going to one of her radical meetings they both come across Verena Tarrant. Basil disapporves of her views and opinions, after all this is a feminist meeting and he has old world values. Olive on the other hand has the same views as Verena. So more or less starts a fight for Verena's heart and soul by these two cousins.
Why this novel has gained much deeper appreciation in later years is because people are more and more realising that Olive is undoubtedly a lesbian. That you can read this between the lines isn't difficult, but that James is even more open in the text is surprising. You read quite early on that when Olive tries to get close to working class girls they shun her, and as Verena is to all intents and purposes naieve and innocent would account for her not running. It is never made clear whether a definite lesbian relationship is experienced between the young women, but a close reading would seem to suggest that there probably is. But will Olive be able to hold onto Verena, especially after Basil formerly makes his proposal?
You have to wonder whether James went through his life after writing this, chuckling away to himself that he hadn't caused a furore at the time. Richard Lansdown gives a very good introduction here explaining why this is James' most humurous novel, as well as there being two appendices, both extracts, one from de Tocqueville, and the other from James, as well as copious notes.

Mexican-American Boy's National Anthem Sparks Racist Comments
When Sebastien De La Cruz, 11, performed his rendition of the National Anthem during Game 3 of the NBA Finals dressed in traditional Mexican attire there was nothing but applause, however off the court it was different story. People took to Twitter make fun of his attire and challenge his American citizenship: "How you singing the national anthem looking like an illegal immigrant," were among the negative tweets.

My dream Avengers
Here I'll probably throw continuity out the window and compile my idea of a perfect team. Heck, I'll go all Inception and put people in who may be dead.
Here I'll probably throw continuity out the window and compile my idea of a perfect team. Heck, I'll go all Inception and put people in who may be dead.
The leader - replacing Steve Rogers.
Every team needs a symbol and a steadfast leader. In my opinion, Bucky (as Captain America) has the grit needed to make the tough decisions. Sure, he lacks the respect and charisma that Steve has, but the battlefield isn't a nice place, and Bucky isn't nice either.
The genius.
Iron Man and Avengers are synonymous. He brings a certain attitude and skillset to the table that no one else really has. Plus, he is more than willing to stand up against his fellow team mates if he doesn't like their methods. This, oddly, is that missing piece of the jigsaw puzzle. The team needs a genius, and Tony is it.
The cosmic force - replacing Thor.
When she's not psychotic as Dark Phoenix, Jean has the potential to use the Phoenix Force for virtue and greatness. Often times the Avengers come up against threats that regular tactics don't necessarily work against. When you have someone like Jean, who possesses near limitless power, she could easily take Thor's position. Of course, for the sake of exciting writing, I'd nerf her a bit. Cut down her powers a bit so that they are not limitless.
The specialist.
Clint is a must have for the Avengers. Not just for his attitude and his daring style, but also for the, as Loki put it, 'heart' that he has. Despite his, somewhat irritating arrogance, he truly would sacrifice himself for the team (maybe not Tony) without hesitation. Plus, the Avengers needs street-levellers and none are as stylish as Clint.
The power.
I want him to go back to his roots of not being able to really control the Hulk. That way, it adds so much more excitement to the team and brings a level of near unrestricted physical power. It is a fear thing - the Avengers know he's the wildcard, and that he can be the most powerful weapon and the most dangerous. A cannon that could, at any moment, swivel around and shoot them in the face.
The assassin - replacing Spider-Woman.
She's here partly because I'm a massive shipper of her and Bucky, but more so because the team needs a stealthy weapon, and who better than the most famous spy in all of Marvel comics? The team of Bucky and Nat could infiltrate the Kremlin blindfolded, not to mention she is, arguably, the most level-headed person on this team.
The unbreakable will - replacing Spiderman .
When all goes to hell, when the world is on fire, you need someone who never gives up. Someone who will always find the light in the darkness. Who can bring the team from the brink of despair and nothingness and rally their spirits. No one can do this better than Dany. Plus, he's got the healing abilities to protect his team.

BBR's turning out dry
Cooked a lot of ribs on other grills, but this was my first try on a new setup. Temp dropped to 175 for about 30 min while i had to leave. I quickly got it back up to 250 and finished them in 4 hrs. They turned out extremely dry. Could i have pulled them off too soon? Overcooked? I will provide more specific info if anyone is willing to try to help.
Were they tough or mushy? 4 hours sounds slightly long on Baby backs but not overly long.
Need more info...
What type of cooker?
Were the thermos calibrated or verified for accuracy?
Direct or indirect heat?
Were the bones slightly exposed?
Were the bones slightly moveable when tugged?
Did the rack's crust crack when bent?
Any moisture (spritz) applied?
not really tough or mushy, just really dry. Could I have not cooked them long enough to get the fat to render down and make them juicy?
175 is Jerky making temps.
First off welcome to the forum, and nice avatar, man! (The Dude Abides)
Four hours does sound a bit long for BB's, and did you spritz them during the cook? I usually get my BB's to finish in three+/_ hours or whenever they're done, and I always spritz with apple juice. I find that helps a lot since they're pretty lean to begin with. What cooker were you using? Method? We needs ta know!
I have both keg and themo calibrated
bones slightly exposed, but not like I typically see from a good rib.
I would not say they were movable.
The crust did not crack like i would have liked.
Spritzed with some cider vinegar sauce.
even if it was only there for 30 minutes or so? You think that drop could have caused it?
I would say if your using a defuser on the babba most time the great would be like 25 degrees less.
If you were at 250 you would see the the pig candy coming to the top.
These were done on saturday char siu style naked.

after 2 hrs.
Under most circumstances @ 225-250 would be around 4 hours total... give or take a half an hour.
Crust cracking, bones moving, and exposed bones are all good signs towards a finished rib.
Have cooked BB @ 300* (indirect) for three hours (unwrapped) - done.
Was there a deflector plate?
I did have a diffuser in. I did not have anything in it though.
Should I put some liquid in the diffuser?
If they were dry AND not falling apart, I'd guess undercooked.
What crimsson said about grate temps being lower than a dome mounted thermometer also applies. Looking at your pic, I see the probe inbetween the ribs on the grate. I wonder if it was touching the meat or grate.
Try bend, poke, or bone pull test for determining when ribs are done.
My vote is overcooked. By the looks of that, the bone is just barely starting to pull back, it probably would have only needed another hour maybe.

Venezuelan President Hugo Chavez is said to be in better health after undergoing cancer surgery in Cuba, VP Nicolas Maduro said on Saturday. Earlier Chavez was described as being in a stable condition. Chavez underwent surgery to remove cancer from his body on December 11 suffering complications in the process. Chavez suffered "bleeding that required the use of corrective measures" during the operation, Information Minister Ernesto Villegas said earlier, adding that the recovery process will require "a prudent period of time as a consequence of the complexity of the surgery performed."
Eleven people have been gunned down near the Iranian border as they tried to flee the country illegally, officials announced on Saturday. Authorities said that six unknown gunmen on three motorcycles attacked a convoy of "illegal immigrants", presumed to be Pakistanis and Afghans who were attempting to leave the country. the assault took place in the Suntsar Dasht area in Gwadar district. No group immediately claimed responsibility for the attack.
The Philippines has introduced legislation intended to prevent the abduction of civilians alleged to be involved in anti-government actions by law enforcement agencies. Now such kidnappings will be punishable by life in prison. It also holds superior officers responsible for captures by those under their command. Political kidnappings by security forces in the Philippines is a legacy of martial law introduced in the 1970s under the dictator Ferdinand E. Marcos.
A petition has been started in the US to try to force the Obama administration to add the Russian law makers responsible for a law banning US citizens from adopting Russian children to the black list, known as the Magnitsky Act. This bans certain Russian officials suspected of involvement in the death of lawyer Sergei Magnitsky while he was in prison in Moscow from travelling to the U.S. It also freezes their U.S.-based assets. The Russian adoption laws is viewed by many campaigners in Russia and abroad as a kneejerk act of revenge against the Magnitsky Act, which was signed into law by President Obama on Friday.
Russian activists have been bringing toys and flowers to State Duma entrance all day Saturday as a way to protest a new law prohibiting American citizens from adopting Russian children. Security guards have been taking "the offerings" away, but new activists would come by and contribute to the silent protest. On Friday the State Duma adopted a bill that, if approved by the Upper House and the President, will end all American adoption in Russia, a law has fueled a divisive debate in Russian society.
Authorities in Nigeria have blamed a radical Islamic sect for twin suicide car bombings which targeted two major mobile phone companies in the northern commercial hub city of Kano. At about 8 am local time a suicide bomber drove a car laden with explosives into the Nigerian subsidiary of Indian company Airtel damaging the switch station. At about the same time, another bomber struck a subsidiary of the South African based MTL group, but the attack was thwarted by security officers who shot the bomber. Authorities suspect the Boko Haram sect of Islamic rebels is behind the attacks.
A German aid worker who was kidnapped in Pakistan 11 months ago has been seen begging authorities to meet his captors' demands and warns that otherwise he will be killed within days. The video, which was undated, was broadcast by Pakistan's Dunya TV on Saturday. The aid worker identified himself as 59-year-old Bernd Muehlenbeck and said he was being held by the Mujahedeen, but didn't specify any of their demands. Germany's foreign ministry said it was aware of the case but didn't confirm whether this was one of its workers who were abducted in Pakistan in January.
Luxurious and expensive goods owned by the former Tunisian president, Zine El Abinde Ben Ali, have been put up for auction by the government. Ben Ali, who had been president since 1987, fled to Saudi Arabia after a revolution in Tunisia in late 2010 early 2011. In June 2012 he was given a life sentence for inciting violence and murder and in late 2011 was given a 35 year sentence for the embezzlement of state funds.
The president of Italy Giorgio Napolitano has dissolved the national parliament in connection with the government crisis, the official statement said. The decision follows Premier Mario Monti's resignation on Friday and sets the stage for general elections in February. Monti is expected to announce whether he will run for office in news conference on Sunday.
At least five people have been killed and dozens wounded on Saturday after a car bomb exploded in the Qabourn district of Damascus, the capital of Syria, the Syrian Observatory for Human Rights reported. Another activist group gave no figures for the bombing, but said that bodies were still being recovered from the wreckage. The Qabourn district is near the Palestinian refugee camp Yarmouk, which was seized by rebel forces this week.
Pope Benedict XVI has pardoned his former butler charged with leaking papal document to the press, the so-called 'Vatileaks' scandal, the Vatican officials said during a press briefing Saturday. Paolo Gabriele was also freed from the police barracks in the Vatican, where he had been serving an 18-month jail sentence. The Pope communicated the pardon to the ex-butler personally. Gabriele, who was taken into custody in May and convicted of aggravated theft by a Vatican tribunal in October, will not be able to resume his butler duties and will have to seek employment elsewhere.
A Finnish couple and an Australian man have been kidnapped in Sanaa, the capital of Yemen, officials said. One report alleged that gunmen seized the hostages at a shop in the city's center. The demands and the identity of the gunmen are not yet known, but kidnappings of foreigners are common in Yemen and are usually resolved peacefully. Al-Qaeda militants groups, which are very active in Yemen, sometimes claim responsibility; tribes have also been known to kidnap people as leverage to force the government to address a local grievance.
Russia and the European Union have called for Palestinians and Israelis to begin direct peace negotiations with no preconditions, Russian Foreign Minister Sergey Lavrov and EU High Representative for Foreign Affairs Catherine Ashton said in a statement adopted at the Russia-EU summit in Brussels. The statement urged both sides of the conflict to refrain from any steps that would undermine a two-state solution, and said they should undertake "clear and resolute steps towards peace between Palestinians and Israelis." Russia and the EU also said they are ready to cooperate with their international partners and revitalize the mediation work of the Quartet on the Middle East in order to reach "peace, stability and prosperity" in the region.
Russia's Foreign Ministry has urged South Sudan to fully investigate the shooting down of a UN mission helicopter that led to deaths of the deaths of the four Russians and one Sudanese national on board. The African country earlier said its army had mistakenly targeted the Russian MI-8 helicopter, which was working with the United Nations Mission in South Sudan (UNMISS). Moscow has demanded that Sudan prosecute those found guilty of the Thursday incident, and prevent future such accidents.
Newly elected Japanese Prime Minister Shinzo Abe has vowed to improve ties with neighboring China upon assuming office next week.. His pledge followed reports that Japan would send Masahiko Komura, the vice president of Abe's Liberal Democratic Party, to deliver a letter to Chinese authorities next month. The move comes a day after China sent naval ships into the territorial waters of disputed islands in the South China Sea.
Egyptians are making their way to polling stations to vote on a Shari-based constitution that has effectively polarized the nation. The first round of voting last week saw the new charter approved by a narrow 57 percent. The opposition has condemned the new document as too routed in Islamist doctrine and discriminatory to Egypt's minority groups.
Four South Korean employees of Hyundai Heavy Industries have been freed after being kidnapped in Nigeria on December 17, officials in Seoul said. The four hostages were handed over to South Korean officials in the African country late Friday, local media reported. No information was available on the fate of the two Nigerians abducted along with the Hyundai employees. Foreign companies' workers are often a target for kidnappers in oil-rich Nigeria, as companies are expected to pay large ransoms to secure their release.
Argentina has issued an official summons to the UK ambassador to explain why part of Antarctica has been renamed for Queen Elizabeth II. UK Foreign Secretary William Hague announced the name change to 'Queen Elizabeth Land' on Tuesday, inciting Argentine ire and provoking a "strong rejection" to Britain's claim to the territory. Both Chile and Argentina have claimed the 169,000-square-mile section of Antarctica.
Entertainment magazine Spin has become the latest major publication to seize its print edition, after 27 years in business. The periodical, owned by Buzzmedia, will now only be available online. After Buzzmedia took over Spin in July, the company laid off a third of the magazine's staff and announced that the October and December print issues would be dropped. Spin's decision follows Newsweek's announcement that it would end print operations beginning in 2013.
Mexico has seen a 51 percent hike in the kidnapping rate with 72 people being abducted on average per day, the Council for Law and Human Rights NGO reported. The numbers vary drastically from the government's figures. If the figures are accurate, it makes Mexico the abduction capital of the world. Federal Police suggest there were 4,671 kidnapping over the past six years, an average of about two per day.
The US leader has called on Congress to pass the fiscal cliff agreement after Christmas so it can come into force before New Year. President Barack Obama says he's willing to look at a fiscal deal in stages or all at once to avoid dropping off the cliff and to prevent tax hikes on middle class Americans and an expiration of unemployment benefits. "Nobody can get 100% of what they want" the president states. He has also spoken with House Speaker John Boehner and the architect of the failed House bill Majority Leader Harry Reid, to enact the necessary compromise.

Jan Brett is the illustrator of many well-known folktales, fairy tales, and poems, such as Goldilocks and the Three Bears and The Owl and the Pussycat, by Edward Lear. Her special signature in her detailed artwork is the intricate borders, seen in this book as birch-bark panels with embroidered details and mitten-shaped vignettes offering additional insights into the story line. Brett is at her best when she illustrates animals, and the expressions on the faces of her creatures are a delight. She carefully researched the costumes, furniture, and house in this traditional Ukrainian tale--all are authentic. A fine story to read on a frosty night with a cup of hot chocolate, and if you ever get your fill of The Mitten, you can always try its delightfully original companion book, The Hat, winner of the 1998 Boston Globe-Horn Book Award. (Ages 4 to 8) --This text refers to the Hardcover edition.

Also, follow the advice below. When buying an investment or commercial property - be insistent on reviewing the financials of the current owner.
There isn't a one sentence answer to this question. There are many variables that go into determining net income. You need to find out all the income and expense numbers from the current owner. That is a start but doesn't always give you the answer your need. For example, lets just say that you find a six unit place, but the owner lives in one, or maybe converted two into one for his/her use. His income would be lower than you may get if you owned it and rented everything out. Also this can be the case with expenses. Maybe, because that owner lives in the property, he/she manages the rentals and doesn't use the services of a rental company. I think the best way to get an idea of what to expect is to put together a price range, location, and other preferences. That way I could send you a link of selected properties that fit your criteria. You cold look them over , pick one that you want me to investigate, then I can do a cash flow for you. That wold give you a sample idea of how it all works. Then if you decide to take the plunge, and become a resot property owner, I would be happy to help you find the best property for you. I hope this helps to answer your question.. If you have further questions, please feel free to contact me at email@example.com.
Good Luck,
Terry Looney
If you're buying a building that's already an income producing investment , you should ask for a minimum of the last 2 years worth of financials. The best indicator of what you can expect (income wise) is to look at what they've been getting in the recent past.
There is a difference between a traditional apartment building (with yearly leases) and a weekly vacation rental. When you buy a multifamily building, the active leases are also conveyed. I'm not sure about a seasonal rental complex, but I would think you could ask for the list of past renters. It would be worth reaching out to them to see if you can get them back year after year.
I assume the number of bedrooms is already determined if this is an existing building. But in general, for a vacation or weekly rental, I would think a 1 BDR would not be in high demand.
Hope this helps!

If the property you are considering has had a previous income stream, I would request to see what rental income it has generated in the past. That will be the best way to determine your future potential. Also, has there been repeat tenants that come back year after year.? Very good information to gather.
Each multi family property will be different. There are many variables to evaluate to help determine your expenses. For example, the age of the building will help you to work towards a cost for maintenance.
What is the cost of their existing insurance policy? Going to the current owner, who has these numbers readily accessible is the best place to start.
If I can be of further assistance, please be in touch. My husband and I have been selling real estate (commercial and residential) in Ocean City since 1976.
My best. Monica

A Nishi-Ki handmade USB keyboard is a guaranteed stunner, graced with one of a selection of fantastic illustrations. At $155, however, that's a lot of cash for a commodity 86-key board. What is it about technology that inhibits appreciating examples of it that ask for a high premium in return for artistic quality? Expected obsolescence, perhaps? NISHI-KI Keyboard [GeekStuff4U via GeekSugar]
Handmade art keyboards are beautiful and expensive
• Discuss this post in our forums
7 Responses to "Handmade art keyboards are beautiful and expensive"
Perhaps it's because after a week of typing on such a gorgeous keyboard, the artwork would have dissolved and the whole thing would be a mess due to my apparently caustic sweat. Ordinary keyboards show serious signs of wear after a month of me using them – I'd hate to think what it'd do to one of these beauties.
Better for looking at than using, but what's the point of tech you can't use?
The green curly cue one is sweet!
Man, that green curly-cue one is fantastic. It would discourage anyone else from using my keyboard, too!
Matthew- my sweat isn't caustic, but it proliferates, and I bet it'd tear these apart too. I feel your pain.
"…At $142,700,000, (Selling cost of Jackson Pollock's 'No. 5, 1948′) however, that's a lot of cash for a commodity Stretched Linen Canvas…"
is possible to make keyboard like this?
with some moore keys?
the green curly-cue is a vine pattern for a traditional japanese wrapping cloth called "furoshiki". when i was growing up in japan, just about every family had one of these wrapping cloths tucked away somewhere in the house. growing up i remember manga/cartoons dipicting thieves using them to carry their loot away. this image of thieves and this viney-furoshiki pattern is so prevelant, it's still being used today… by the cops in osaka.
How cute, I wouldn't mind the Nishi-ki on my desk.
