How Mesa County used drones in search and rescue efforts after landslide
Drones helped cut costs and keep rescuers safe, but they haven't helped find the bodies of three men lost in the massive landslide in Western Colorado.
Drones helped cut costs and keep rescuers safe, but they haven't helped find the bodies of three men lost in the massive landslide in Western Colorado.
Mesa County officials say two days of flights over a large area from Collbran to Vega Reservoir are underway. About 87 flights over the area will remap the topography of the slide and are aimed at getting a better sense of the new landscape.
Residents are told to be ready to evacuate quickly in the event of another slide at a town hall meeting on Thursday in Mesa County.
The Mesa County sheriff has warned 35 residents to be ready to leave quickly in case there is another slide.
This footage of the mudslide area was taken by the Mesa County Sheriff's office on Monday, May 26, 2014. Karen Berry, the interim State Geologist and Director of the Colorado Geological Survey, narrated the video and shared what she saw with CPR's Mike Lamp.
Authorities are watching for the possibility of another landslide as dangerously unstable conditions led them to call off the search for three missing men.
Slideshow: A massive mudslide struck a remote area of Mesa County on Sunday near the town of Collbran. The images, supplied by the Mesa County Sheriff's Office, show the area impacted by the slide.
Mesa County Sheriff Stan Hilkey says the area remains unstable and is dangerous for searchers to continue.
Crews continue to search for three men reported missing after Sunday's slide in a remote area near the town of Collbran.
Three people are reported missing after a four-mile-long mudslide near the town of Collbran.

Such negativity towards the 24 hour event. It had rave reviews with lots of publicity. I think the only bad reviews were from Annual pass holders or people who visit frequently to the parks. Of course it was going to be packed did you expect everyone to leave around normal closing hours? I'm 100% positive they will have another event like it, I honestly can't wait... well worth the price for 24hrs.
And oh, those OMDD t-shirts! I've seen people wearing them outside of DLR and they're so neat. I would have wanted one too.
Speaking of rumors, wasn't there some talk about staying open most of the Thanksgiving weekend? That would be insane. But at least, the premium annual passport would be worth its price.
OMDD was the worst day I ever worked in the park ever...the fact that Space Mountain (where I was for the night) didn't break down is nothing short of a miracle. I REALLY don't want to see another one of these events and if it does happen, I refuse to work the event. I cringe at the sight of the shirts. I knew I was in for a night of insanity when I closed the night before and already saw a line of cars piling into the parking structure that night before the event.
IF disney does it again...they better darn well have a rock solid gameplan for everything. A 2nd event should have no excuse for failure.
...As I see it
I think one thing that might help is a presale for the tickets online or through the phone only. Once they are gone then that's it. Not making them available at the ticket counter would, hopefully, eliminate the traffic caused by people who drove down just to see if there were any tickets left.
Not having it on a workday might spread the arrivals out much more through the afternoon and evening instead of bunching it all up into the after-work hours. That may be why NYE and other capacity days don't turn into the OMDD "carmageddon." (I got to OMDD in the evening but was in DL on NYE by 2 PM.)
I think that TDA will be smarter about it next time. Remember Disneyland had a 25-hour event to celebrate the 25 anniversary (something along those lines) I don't remember any press wows about that. Feb 29, I was there at opening and returned latter that evening I think will have a plan in place and will have both parks open and have Harbor Closed and DtD open. Why don't Disney do a 42 hour event?
Check out my work on openstreetmap.org
Trust me...there won't be another 24 hour day.
I attended OMDD and after that experience I would not want to attend another similar event. Disneyland seemed to encourage a nightclub/adult's only atmosphere. I saw empty liquor bottles littered throughout the park. The loud dance music being played by DJs in various locations was intolerable. I had hoped to be able to enjoy the usual atmosphere of Disneyland at an unusual time of the day, but as the hours went by the mood in the park changed considerably and not for the better. I left several hours before closing.
It would be really cool, but maybe in the next few years
The new Star Wars plot summery:
Episode 7: Luke discovers that Darth Vader is not his father, and goes on a search for his real father
Episode 8: Darth Vader is resurrected and goes on Jerry Springer, claiming he is Luke and Leia's father
Episode 9: Princes Leia is not Luke's sister, making him furious (we all know why...).
The best solution, should TDA consider another event in the manner of OMDD, is to do what they did last summer for Passholder Early Entry:
A registration system with a CAP! I believe OMDD was a disaster mainly because it was "COME ONE COME ALL!" and...well, one comes and a million follow. With a system in place with a proper CAP in effect, they can pull this off BUT it will hopefully (I say that with a grain of salt) be better...but we'll probably see hundreds of people whine that they couldn't get in.
It reminds me of how pre-sales work on Ticketmaster and LiveNation; set a cap, open presales at a certain with or without a password, and viola! It won't be easy but it is definitely better...
This is just my approach...I don't expect everyone to say "Jolly good show..." - you are always entitled to your opinion...no matter what people say.
I wouldn't go to another OMDD event again for the simple reason that the outrageous number of people and capacity-level crowds made it impossible to enjoy Disneyland. 2+ hour waits for rides, too crowded to walk, too crowded in the stores to shop. All you could do was step into the crowd and let it sweep you along and hope you could exit again when you got to where you wanted to be.

As far as these gpu's charts, rumors have always offset reality for years. But as far as I see it.
1.) Ati - even if it releases cards 6 months ahead of nvidia, have a lot of work to do between performance/speed and image quality. The drivers are a mess right now, Image Quality is suspect at best and speed is not up to nvidia's parts.
2.) Nvidia IS more focused on other aspects of their company, especially Tegra. I imagine they're also in line and testing for whatever gpu Sony buys from them for the ps4 as well.
3.) Nvidia doesn't NEED something right now. I don't know how much more powerful it gets than a GTX 590. Even Metro runs with that beast. Their next "Regular/vanillia" high-end card won't match raw performance of the 590, it will simply have the dx11.1 functionality to brag about but be about 15% slower - and speaking of dx11.1....those are functions that pc gamer's won't see in games for at least another year anyway, if at all. (Remember dx10.1, no? Most don't.)
I don't see much in the next 6 month's that warrants an upgrade, the PC has been getting stiffed with shoddy ports of dx11 sprinkled games (See Arkham Asylum and Crysis 2) to give gamers some relevence with their upgrades....but realistically, until consoles move forward with their next gen, pc will be stuck in this limbo of "looks better than console but isn't take your breath away WOW like Crysis was 4 years ago" so I think nVidia is kind of slowing down until relevant upgrades are needed, in the mean time, they're focusing on nVision, Tegra, PS4 gpu, drivers, quadro, etc.
I have to disagree with you in regards to nVidia vs. AMD. Understand though that from the GF2 all the way up to the GTX260 and everything in between- I owned only nVidia for the longest time. Before my previous 5770 the last ATi card I owned was the Rage 128 way back when. I was strictly nVidia- GF2, GF4 MX440, GF4 Ti4200, FX5950 U, GF6800GT, GF 7600GT SLi, GF 7900GT SLi, GF 7900GTX, GF 8800GTS 640MB SLI (bought both on launch day), GF 8800GTX SLi, GF 9600GT SLi, GF GTX260 Core216, and then I decided to give AMD a go with the 5770, was given a 4870 that I rocked for a bit, and now have my 5870. So my history strongly favors nVidia and I am quite familiar with their IQ in-games, their driver stability and I have to say... I generaly disagree with you here. AMD's IQ in-game seems absolutely no different than nVidia's. Maybe if everything in the driver control panel is left at default AF maybe less than desirable with AMD but I have everything set to "High Quality" just like I did in the nVidia driver control panel and it looks no different than it did on NV hardware I've owned. AA quality seems the same... maybe slightly better because I have more AA options available to me in the CCC. Driver stability, the last crash I had was a BSOD but it was due to the beta of AMD Overdrive- that's not a driver that is an over clocking tool provided by AMD... and it is in Beta. I don't expect beta software to function perfectly. So just going off of my first hand experience you're wrong regarding AMD vs nVidia.
As far as everything else I'd say you're 100% correct. Today's hardware is so powerful it is insane. And we're not going to see any games that just have that "wow" factor to them untill the next generation of consoles is released as those will be supporting top end PC features such as tessellation and possibly even some form of physics acceleration. Those new consoles will have hardware that is leaps and bounds above the present gen consoles and so the new games targeting those consoles will have insane graphics and we'll finally see titles more worthy of our PC hardware.
But we've a bit of a wait for that unfortunately. Probably at least 2 more years imo, maybe longer. I am looking forward to it, however.

When I was wondering what the characteristics of a person of faith are, the first attribute which came to mind was a lack of fear. Throughout the Bible, whenever there is a divine-human encounter, the angel's first words are: "Fear not." So living life courageously seems essential.
Then I remembered that courage derives from the French word for "heart." So in order to live without fear requires a heart in the right place, so to speak.
The words on the tomb of Nikos Kazantzakis came to mind, "Sans peur, sans espoir, je suis libre." Without fear, without hope, I am free.
That's puzzling. What does he mean "without hope"? Hope seems to be another essential. Maybe misguided or unrealistic hope is not a good thing.
Some people base their religion on fear. That's very stifling. If we're created in God's image and we're afraid to live fully, that might be considered an insult to our creator.
Another characteristic of a person of faith is integrity. What you see is what you get.
The person of faith is the same in various settings.
Talking to people of status and power is no different than talking to people considered unimportant in the larger society.
Gerald Jampolsky, a psychologist who worked with catastrophically ill children. (Kids who had only a few weeks of life ahead of them) wrote a book: Love Is Letting Go of Fear.
His claim is that there are two basic emotions: love and fear. Love expresses itself in appreciation and freedom while fear is found in anger, judgmentalism and a narrowing in of life.
Psalm 15 also captured my attention: "O Lord, who may abide in your tent? Who may dwell on your holy hill?"
People with the attributes we'd expect to find listed are identified, but then "those in whose eyes the wicked are despised," make the cut.
So God thinks "despising" is all right. Does that mean avoiding, calling out and refusing to go along with some people or ideas? I'm not sure, but it is intriguing.
We do know people who believe, "God loves everyone and I should, too," which may be a part of the problem, because they don't stand against what is wrong. The Psalmist's thoughts will hold me for a while.
Again in Psalm 15 those invited to abide in God's tent are "those who do not take a bribe against the innocent."
Has that ever been possible in politics? Do we take a bribe against the innocent if we don't advocate for the hungry and helpless?
Then I wondered about likability. I would imagine the Samaritan woman at the well, who was described in John 4, didn't necessarily find Jesus immediately likable.
Are those who speak the truth in love likable?
I understand that the sign language gesture for forgiveness is to hold hands out and down as though letting go of anything in them.
I have problems, personally, with forgiveness, but do think the ability to forgive is a characteristic of a mature religious person.
So although I'm not always able to exhibit those characteristics, I continue to strive after them.

text: The States & Capitals wiki last edited by Jeff on 01/20/14 11:48AM View full history This game was released in cassette format for the Atari 400/800 series of machines and could be booted from an Atari 410 tape recorder. Like most Atari tapes of the era, one side loaded the game straightaway, while the other played a short audio file during loading detailing basic instructions for playing the game. The audio-enabled side of the tape also took longer to load than its silent counterpart. When the game begins, a state is outlined on the map. You are asked to identify the state, and then its capital. Your scores for correct states and capitals are kept separately. States & Capitals was programmed by Bob Polaro, who would later go on to make similar games that emcompass world geography, rather than just the United States.

Designing Page Layout Using Layout Cells and Tables
The term "page layout" refers to the way your page will look in the browser, such as where a menu or images will go. One common method for creating a page layout is with HTML tables. (Tables can be difficult to use, however, since they weren't originally created for Web page layout, but for displaying tabular data.)
To simplify the process of using tables for page layout, Dreamweaver provides Layout view. In Layout view, you can design your page using tables as the underlying structure, and you can easily draw cells (table cells) onto your page, then customize and move the cells where you want them.
To switch into Layout view:
If you have a table drawn in standard view, you might need to delete
the cells before you can draw cells using the layout view.

Bear Tooth vs Chief Joseph

Trip planning help for Bears/Chief
I am in the process of planning a trip this summer/fall and got to the point where I was debating on the Chief vs Bears tooth. So now I think I am decided that I will do the chief then turn to red lodge. I am also thinking maybe I will ride them both ways. I will be coming from the east and passing through grey bull after heading through the big horn area. Then heading back east on my way home.
So I have a few questions
Should I plan to do both directions of the road in one day, or try and plan to do one direction late on day, then the other direction the next morning
Is there gas between cody and Red Lodge (im thinking no) so that will mean getting a couple gallons of fuel on the bike since the best I can figure is 170 miles between the 2
If I go Cody->Red Lodge-> Cody do any of you have a route suggestion from cody to I94. This will be where I start my return trip home. And as brutal as it sounds I will be slabbing it back through ND to MN to get home a bit quicker
Here is what I am thinking for now. I will probably trailer the bike to Fargo, leave the cage there, and trailer back home. I have ridding all over MN and that way I can get some miles behind me by leaving after work

I am a woman of Substance, Style and Sass!!!
I am a fashion designer and an aspiring actor. I love to travel and have been very fortunate to visit many countries around the globe both for business and pleasure. I am simply intrigued by different cultures, exploring and learning. I thrive on respect, honesty, integrity and simple kindness. I am a spiritual being and I strongly believe in truth and balance. My work and travel keeps me very busy. I have two amazing children ages 22 and 19 we love to spend quality time together whenever we can with our busy schedules.(and please I am not looking for a father for my children as they already have a father), also I don't want to have more children so if you are planning to have kids then I am not the woman for you!!! I love fashion, art, music, travel, reading, intelligent and stimulating conversations (sometime silly ones too :), movies, a lot of laughter, cooking, yoga, aerobics, spending time with people I love, meditate, charity, humanity and of course simple kindness! I am looking for a fun person to spend time and do fun things with in order to build a foundation based on friendship. I do not want to rush into anything, nor am I just out looking for "Friends with Benefits", "One Night Stands", "Hang Outs (the younger generation version), or simply a "quickie". If everything goes well, then I assume natural progression would take place and it would develop into more, but that is for us to decide at a later time. The man I am seeking must be brave and strong enough to be honest and not waste my time, educated, intelligent, fun loving, adventures, creative, spontaneous, great sense of humor, witty, understanding, kind, compassionate, loving, romantic, financially secure, sensitive but strong, assertive but gentle, confident but balanced, non judgmental but have an opinion, worldly, cultured and he absolutely must know how to court a lady!!! "Find the guy who calls you beautiful instead of hot, who calls you back when you hang up on him, who will lie under the stars and listen to your heartbeat, or stay awake just to watch you sleep. The one who turns to his friends and says, "thats her" – Anony-mouse I read all emails that are sent to me and if I don't respond it is because I don't feel the mutual connection. I sincerely appreciate your interest and your time in writing to me!!! Thank you and all my very best in your search! :) Kindly respect that I do not acknowledge the following: - Profiles without photos "For every beauty there is an eye somewhere to see it. For every truth there is an ear somewhere to hear it. For every love there is a heart somewhere to receive it."- Ivan Panin "Don't rely on someone else for your happiness and self worth. Only you can be responsible for that. If you can't love and respect yourself - no one else will be able to make that happen. Accept who you are - completely; the good and the bad - and make changes as YOU see fit - not because you think someone else wants you to be different." Stacey Charter Life isn't a journey to the grave with the intention of arriving safely in a well preserved body, but rather to skid in sideways, chocolate in one hand, latte in the other, body thoroughly used up, totally worn out and screaming 'Woohoo WHAT A RIDE'!

The Pain of Miscarriage… and Respect Dare 37

What to Do with Pain… and Dare Thirty-Six
Eyes wet, tears slipped down her face. Drowning in sorrow over wrong doing and lack of hope, she fought the hardening of her heart, somewhat unsuccessfully.

Bukharov struck after 21, 56 and 63 minutes to put Rubin in control after Maksim Zinoviev's opener.
Substitute Ivan Cvetkovic grabbed a second for the hosts three minutes from time, but it was too little too late.
Rubin are now a point clear of second-placed FC Moscow after 12 games, while Khimki remain rock bottom, still without a win this season.

Tomorrow morning, the U.S. Court of Appeals for the D.C. Circuit will hear oral arguments in Halbig v. Sebelius, a case that challenges the IRS's ability to implement ObamaCare's health insurance subsidies and mandate penalties in the 34 states with federally established health "exchanges." Though the IRS prevailed at the district-court level, its allies have been inadvertently undermining the agency's case ever since.
First, a little background. The Patient Protection and Affordable Care Act of 2010 clearly, repeatedly, and consistently says that the above-mentioned subsidies and penalties are authorized only "through an Exchange established by the State." The IRS breezed right past that explicit, recurring, and uncontradicted indicator of congressional intent, however, when the agency announced it would implement those subsidies and penalties in states that did not establish an Exchange and the federal government established one by default. The IRS is thus taxing the Halbig plaintiffs, who reside in states that did not establish Exchanges, without congressional authorization. The plaintiffs don't like that.
The IRS won at the district-court level thanks to an opinion in which Judge Paul Friedman concluded that Exchanges established by the federal government are "established by the State." That's not quite as absurd as it may seem at first. Congress could have deemed federally established Exchanges to be "established by the State" in which they operate, if that had been Congress' intent. Indeed, that's what Congress did with respect to Exchanges established by U.S. territories. But Congress did not do so for federal Exchanges. Thus we are firm ground describing Friedman's ruling as absurd. Congress intentionally offered subsidies only in states that established Exchanges for the same reason it makes numerous categories of federal spending and tax benefits conditional on state action: to induce states to carry out federal priorities.
Ever since the IRS's victory, however, its friends have been inadvertently undermining the agency's case.
For one, the Obama administration says it is implausible that Congress meant "established the State" literally. It "makes no sense," the government asserts, to think that Congress even contemplated allowing federal Exchanges to operate without subsidies. Yale law professor Abbe Gluck writes, "it would be nonsensical to deprive citizens in federal-exchange states of the subsidies."
Except…several of the government's friends — including professor Gluck — have now conceded it does make sense, because Congress was actively considering that very idea. Separate amicus briefs by the AARP and the seven congressional Democratic leaders most responsible for the PPACA, as well as a recent blog post by Gluck all acknowledge that allowing federal Exchanges to operate without subsidies was a live issue during the debate that produced the PPACA. (Fun facts: two of those seven congressional Democrats sponsored the idea. And all seven ultimately voted for it in the PPACA, though they now disavow all knowledge. They were for it, before they were against it. Another group of key congressional Democrats complained back in 2010 that the PPACA's Exchange subsidies, like the State Children's Health Insurance Program, were conditional and that states could block them. They then voted for the PPACA, yet now claim they never intended subsidies to be conditional. They were against it, before they were for it, before they were against it.)
Gluck further concedes that Congress contemplated withholding those subsidies specifically if states failed to establish Exchanges when she acknowledges the Health, Education, Labor, and Pensions (HELP) Committee's health care bill would have withheld subsidies from such states for four years.
The government has also argued that Congress deemed federally established Exchanges to be "established by the State," despite the statute containing no explicit or implicit language to that effect. Gluck undermines this claim as well. In her discussion of the HELP Bill, she concedes that Congress knew how to deem a state to be an "establishing state" even if the state did not establish an Exchange — something the PPACA did not do. We already know, from the PPACA provisions concerning U.S. territories, that Congress knew how to treat non-states as though they were states. Gluck's reaffirmation is appreciated nonetheless. Unfortunately, she goes on to assert that courts should interpret the PPACA as if it contains such deeming language for federal Exchanges, simply because a prior bill does.
The more the IRS's defenders write about this case, the more they will undermine the agency's position in court, because its position is untenable.

The sign says this was used on a submarine just like the USS Ling.
It is just an open shell, so you could go inside of this.
All over the grounds here are lots of items related to submarines.
This is a torpedo tube.
And the side you don't usually get to see !
Torpedoes abound.
Oooops, that can't be good !
A deck gun.
The back of a torpedo.
The very back of a torpedo.
Opposing propeller blades.
Some more internals of a torpedo.
I never knew there was so much inside of one of these.
I found the irony interesting.
That was off of this rescue boat from:
The dock you see leads to the sub.
The bridge in the background is the one I was on earlier.

Around the park are all kinds of items related to submarines and or the Navy.
Yes, those are life size missiles.

Also located here are two and three man submarines !
Something I had never heard about before.
Although the black one is Japanese and the Gray one is German.
I would guess we had our own too!
Looking inside.
The black plate you see is the pilots seat !
Looking fore.
Looking aft.
Looking up!
And the Japanese sub.
And a US River Patrol Boat.
And that ends our tour of The New Jersey Naval Museum.

Next stop was a hamburger joint.
They have been around since the 1939 New York World's Fair.
This building has been here since 1946.
The original building from the World's Fair was moved to Jersey City, and it is still there.
And YES, it is on my list of things to see !
Nice light !
I could not get over how small this place is.
Some old Neon.
They were open by the time we got here.
The corners are rounded and made of glass blocks.
Someone amongst us was ready for breakfast !
While the rest of us watched !
Well, not all of us.
I don't think we could all fit in there anyway !!!
And NO ! he did not eat all of those !
The stools were pretty small as well, and the counters too !
No booths in this place !
Even the counter/grill sides had curved glass blocks.
A painting of this nice little place in Hackensack, NJ along the Hackensack River.
I took pictures of articles that hang on the walls.
I never know if I will find this information online or not.
The 20 Hamburgers You Must Eat Before You Die !
Sorry that most of this is out of focus.
There was not much light in the back of this place.
Even though it was tiny.
Did I mention this place was small ?
I was surprised by the nonchalant fancy windows in this place.
I also noticed a competitor across the street when I looked out the window !
Still a youngin', they didn't start until 1954.
I took a lot of pictures of this little place !
So I will make two posts out of it.
The place in Jersey City is spelled White Mana,
but that was a mistake made when they had to have their sign redone.
WHITE MANNA is the correct spelling of the original franchise like this sign has.
But I am not really sure you could call this a franchise because I could only find two places using this name.
I would assume the word manna comes from the 'Manna from Heaven' that fed the Israelites for 40 years in the wilderness.
Manna actually means "What is it?"
Information on Wikipedia
They do not seem to have their own website, that I can find.
Here are some other links.
google with some reviews from slider eaters / connoisseurs !
(Yes, I had to look up how to spell that !!!)
Sliders is what they call these small hamburgers.
They competed with White Castle, who makes a smaller hamburger, or slider.
They were founded in 1921.
The burgers here are actually made from fresh ground beef.
No formed and frozen hockey pucks here !
And don't forget Diners, Drive-ins and Dives YouTube video.
You HAVE to check out that video.
It gives a real sense of the place, and how busy they get during the day, and how small they are.
It mentions that they make between 800 to 1000 burgers a day in that microdiner !!!!!
Good thing DDD has small equipment.
The place is only 15' X 30' total !

Now out of curiosity, and kind of joking, I asked if they had a bathroom.
They said it was out back.
When I got back there this is what I found.
OK, the thing on the right is a freezer.
The window was out.
There were no doors on the sides of the building.
So, let's check out the only other option !
NO, not the trash can !!!
I opened the back door.
You could see where I had just been !
But there was hope.
There was a door on the left.
And it said, "Restroom" !
You can barely see the frame on the left before the tank.
Needless to say, it was small too !
But the view wasn't bad.
No, I was not sitting down when I took that !!!
So, after a short pit stop I check out where everyone else parked out back.
Someone Tagged a tree next to the White Manna and I was looking to see if I could figure out which one it was !
Can you see the nice RED bike ?
This puny place is squished between a major road, River Street, and the Hackensack River.
A very busy and active road.
I guess someone stole a Big Mac !!!
Looking down the other direction.
I see another odd site.
A Sears Roebuck and Co. sign!
I thought they were all gone too !
So, as far as the tree was concerned, it had to be one of these two clumps !
The driver of the moving van is sitting behind the guard rail in the wilderness section of Hackensack, NJ !
You can barely see his green shirt.
No camo for sure.
Unless he was trying to hide in a billiard parlor !
I guess technically we were customers, because at least one of us ate here.

So with one satisfied customer and one picture taker we head off to our next stop in Glen Rock.
Make a left on Glen Avenue at the Glen Rock Inn.
Our destination, the Glen Rock rock !
Yes, a big rock sticking out of the ground.
The only one around !!!
NO, I didn't do it,.........HONEST !
Plus this was a fly by picture.
You can see the police officer with his car lights on.
So no stopping for a close up of the Glen Rock rock !
I have no idea what they were up too.
We rode around to see if we could come up behind it, but ....
There was a marching band there taking up the road and blocking some of the rock !
There is no school near hear for a football game.
There were some floats in the area now that I think about it, so they must have been having a parade.
And that was the rock at Glen Rock.
Some history from Wikipedia:
"Glen Rock was settled around a large boulder, weighing 570 short tons
(520 t) left by retreating glaciers in a small valley (glen). From a 1985
article in The New York Times, "Glen Rock is named for a 570-ton boulder,
believed to have been deposited by a glacier, that stands at the northern
end of Rock Road, the town's main street. Called Pamachapura, or Stone
from Heaven, by the Delaware Indians (Lenape), it served as a base for
Indian signal fires and later as a trail marker for colonists."
Very interesting.

Our next stop was also in Glen Rock.
We were looking for another hard item, but not a rock this time.
We had to park across the street in a nice neat group.
Our destination was behind those bushes, I think !
Ah Yes, there they are.
Three Men Sitting on a Bench.
OK, the fourth guy belonged to us !
Can you guess which one?
#1: This donut looks like a giant washer!
.......Do you think our break is over yet?
#2: I don't know, my paper has nothing but old news.
#3: Can I read that after you are done with it?
.......And are you going to finish that donut?
I am guessing one of these guys is Mike !
Oh look, another rock !!!
I have no idea why there are three men sitting on a bench in front of a children's gym !
And there WERE children in there !!!
Looks like we helped them get some exercise !
My Gym Children's Fitness Center, just in case you know a kid who needs a gym.
I guess you are on your own to come up with why there are three men on a bench
next to a rock with a Mike's Garden plaque on it in front of a children's gym.
As I was putting the marker on the map I noticed these guys were here before this place was a children's gym.
There is a truck near these guys that says "Cheesecake Aly".
But the still does not explain these three men.
Perhaps they are just not aware of what has gone on around them.
Or maybe they took too long of a break and are now unemployed and homeless !

OK, our next stop was another thing I had been yearning to see.
Yes, that is off of the USS Enterprise Aircraft Carrier CV-6, and not the Starship Enterprise NCC-1701 !
This was on the stern of "The Big E".
It was saved from the scrap yard and now resides in a park in River Vale, NJ.
I would have thought the steel would have been a little thicker on a Navy Ship !
At the park there are pictures and some information about the Enterprise.
This tells how it wound up here in River Vale.
Well, it doesn't really explain why this town was chosen.
This park also holds memorials to those who gave the ultimate sacrifice from River Vale.
USS Enterprise Aircraft Carrier CV-6
There have been EIGHT ships with the name Enterprise in the American Navy.
This is off of Enterprise VII.
Big E 8 was:
The Legend of Enterprise, on a Navy site showing all 8 ships.
They apparently do not take many pictures of the back of their ships !!!
But have no fear, I finally found some pictures showing this on the ship on the following website.
Here is a picture of E going through the Panama Canal in 1939 and the lettering is painted black.
The name looks so small on the ship !
Here is a picture from 1945 near NYC with the letters painted white.
And another picture.
This USS Enterprise was in 5 of the 6 major carrier-versus-carrier Naval Battles of WWII.
The enemy claimed several times that they had sunk the Enterprise, which earned her the nickname "The Grey Ghost" !!!
Cool name huh?
Her planes sank THREE enemy carriers during the Battle of Midway after Pearl Harbor.
There were six carriers made before World War II and she was one of the three that survived the war.
And she was the most decorated war ship from WWII.
Such a shame they had to dismantle her.

Next stop was an old Dutch Barn.
Wortendyke Barn in Park Ridge.
I did get a picture of the back !
The info sign by the road.
Passed this getting here just up the road.
They had a lot of information here too.
This barn was built around 1770, and it is still standing.
A testament to good workmenship.
The barn is shown on the right.
The owners lived in the house on the left.
I saw a sign over there where the house is but I forgot to go over there and get pictures of the house and sign !

A lot of these names look familiar.
Not just from riding around New Jersey, but some are also names in my ancestry.

We were supposed to go to the Cleveland Bridge, but the lunch stop we had planned was further away than I had wanted, but it all worked out.
So, on our way to lunch we stopped by to see a man about a snowman !

Actor Ashley Hamilton and singer Macy Gray, the first dancers voted off "Dancing With the Stars," said they had fun in their one week on the show.
Hamilton and Gray appeared on "Good Morning America" today with their professional dance partners, Edyta Sliwinska and Jonathan Roberts.
"It was the first time I had ever done anything like that," Gray said, adding that she never studied dance. "It was a huge learning experience, I learned a lot … I'm actually a better performer now."
The Grammy Award winner looked awkward and ill-prepared during her Viennese waltz Tuesday night but, Roberts said, she deserves a lot of credit for rehearsing daily while on tour in Europe.
"What a great job Macy did," he said. "She really did great, I was really proud of Macy."
Judge Carrie Ann Inaba said Gray's dancing was "beautiful in its own bizarre way." Still, the chanteuse received low scores from the judges.
Hamilton, who is still recovering from a motorcycle accident, said, "It was so much fun to go out there and be able to do this thing. ... I've had such a great partner."
The judges found Hamilton's foxtrot lackluster, and while the others tried to be kind to the son of actor and one-time contestant George Hamilton, judge Bruno Tonioli said Hamilton had "a total lack of showmanship."
Sliwinska, who also partnered with George Hamilton, said, "It was kind of nice to have that continuity, but they are very different."
The older Hamilton taught her a few dances, she said, while "Ashley had no idea how to dance. He came with no experience but he worked way harder than his dad and he did an amazing, amazing job."
Hamilton joked that they're starting a support group for dancers kicked off first.
Gray said she's grateful for the friends she made on the show.
"That was one of the best things. I met some really great people that I hope to hang out with in the future," she said. "It was a fun one week."

Wednesday night's results show also featured a tribute to actor Patrick Swayze, who died Sept. 14 after a long battle with pancreatic cancer.
Swayze was best known for his role as dance instructor Johnny Castle opposite co-star Jennifer Grey in the hit movie "Dirty Dancing." A lifelong dancer, Swayze, whose mother was a dance instructor and choreographer, took lessons as a child in his hometown of Houston.
Professional dancers performed to "Unchained Melody" from Swayze's film "Ghost," and "She's Like the Wind" and "The Time of My Life" from "Dirty Dancing."
The ninth season of "Dancing With the Stars" began this week with a live three-night event.
On Monday night, the male contestants gave their first performances, followed by the female contestants Tuesday night.
Aaron Carter and Donny Osmond led the way among the male performances, but all eyes were on former House Majority Leader Tom DeLay.
"My biggest fear is I might embarrass myself," DeLay said during rehearsals.
He and partner Cheryl Burke -- a two-time "DWTS" champion who said she didn't know who DeLay was and had to Google him -- danced their cha cha to the song "Wild Thing."
Tonioli said DeLay, who lip synced along with the song and wore a sequined vest, was "crazier than Sarah Palin."
"The little cha cha cha you did was not bad," he added.
"I've got bigger critics than those judges," DeLay said after his performance.

So over the course of the years, one finds it imperative that if he wants to improve performance, he must write his own memory management system.
Can someone elaborate on this? I understand that for games 10 years ago this could be considered imperative but I don't see how this would make that much of a different for modern games. Memory isn't (or shouldn't be) newed and deleted excessively every frame and it seems like most games these days are GPU bound. I would guess that energy spent on parallelization would have a bigger performance impact.
Is there something I'm missing? Are there any benchmarks showing significant performance increase in a game based on a custom memory management system?

Once you've done that, if you still need to improve things, then I find that the Windows API VirtualAlloc pretty much rules here. All memory allocations from other API calls (and even from malloc/new) end up going through VirtualAlloc behind the scenes anyway, so you can short-circuit that and take control directly, using some problem-domain-specific knowledge to help you out.
There are no hard and fast rules, but as a general guideline what you would do is VirtualAlloc a pretty large block with MEM_RESERVE at startup, and keep a low mark counter, initially at 0 (also keep a counter of the amount currently allocated). When you need memory you can then VirtualAlloc with MEM_COMMIT from your low mark to low mark + size (round this up to a page boundary or more for better results). Free is just a rewind of the low mark, and if the low mark + size is less then the total you've committed so far you don't need to do anything, just return a pointer. That's a fairly rough description and I may have left something out. You can easily wrap this in a nice memory manager class, by the way.
That's good for big allocations at startup or load time, but it's a little inflexible sometimes, so you can use HeapAlloc instead. This uses VirtualAlloc behind the scenes of course, and will give you much of the flexibility you currently get from malloc but with some nifty extra options (like being able to specify an initial commit size).
One really nice thing about these is that they hugely simplify the task of freeing memory. Instead of needing to fret over each idividual allocation, you can just rewind your low mark (if using VirtualAlloc) or destroy your heap (if using HeapAlloc). This comes in particularly handy if you want to quickly and safely release all memory used during a game level, and you'll be more or less immune to leaks.
It appears that the gentleman thought C++ was extremely difficult and he was overjoyed that the machine was absorbing it; he understood that good C++ is difficult but the best C++ is well-nigh unintelligible.

Depends on many things. For instance fragmentation created by uncontrolled heap calls may turn out to be a problem on some platforms, other problems may benefit from memory pools due to their allocating strategy. Therefore a custom allocator to solve those problems may be a solution. I say "it may" because it is problem specific (ie: specific linked list allocator that keeps data contiguous) and platform specific( ie: performance gain from replacing heap allocation on a OS system like Windows to your custom allocator may turn out to be a harder problem to solve than what you think, for a general purpose allocation strategy). General allocators are quite doing their job, that's why it may not be worthy to replace them.
And definitely the almighty hint: do not optimize until you profile.

Writing a memory manager is the wrong solution; it's like finding out you have a leak under your sink, and dropping a nuclear bomb on your house so you can rebuild the entire surrounding city with new pipes. Just replace the leaky bits and be done.
Put another way: you're talking about memory allocation being slow. If you do something 200 million times, and make it 20% faster, you have a gain of .... 20%. If you do that exact same action twice instead, you have a gain of 1,000,000%. Worse, gaining that 20% is an exercise in extreme masochism. Don't try to whittle away at the symptoms; cure the disease.
The disease, in this case, is doing lots of small dynamic allocations. Look into pools, arenas, and disposable heaps - all of these are already implemented for you, can be found in free libraries or even your OS APIs themselves, and are basically drop-in compatible with everything you do with a small amount of effort.

Write your game, then if you are having issues, look for ways to fix those issues. Is it CPU cycles? Memory? Disk access? The reality is that preemptive optimization almost never fixes a real problem, only takes time from working on the real project.

For starters, when we say we've rewritten the memory manager, we're talking about a general-purpose heap allocator -- Now, that's a very specific type of allocator, which is one of many options. Why should we use this particular allocator for 100% of our use cases?
If we go back to basics, C/C++ gives us "the heap" and "the stack". We allocate from the heap via new/malloc, and we allocate from the stack by creating local variables.
In many ways, the stack is superior to the heap, as it attaches very well defined lifetimes to each allocation (a local variable is destroyed when execution of it's parent code block goes out of scope), whereas on the other hand, there is no implicit lifetime attached to heap allocations (they're destroyed whenever we choose to destroy them).
Because of this, we often go to great lengths to attach heap allocations to stack lifetimes, e.g. via RAII objects like auto_ptrs.
Going back to the discussion, for some reason most of the discussion on rewriting your memory manager is focussed on reinventing the heap... but why not also reinvent the stack? There are many benefits of doing so, the most obvious is that your own stack can have different lifetime guarantees, other than the current execution scope.
You can have many stacks (alongside the C stack) as well as many heaps (alongside the C heap), and alongside all of those, you'll also have various rings and pools!
Advanced memory management isn't writing a better heap, it's making appropriate use of different allocation structures, instead of shoving everything into a single heap. Ironically, doing so actually makes memory management simpler overall, not more advanced (e.g. if everything is managed in stacks, then you'll automatically have no leaks without even having to use a single delete or shared_ptr!)

So over the course of the years, one finds it imperative that if he wants to improve performance, he must write his own memory management system. I've figured out how to globally override new and delete to make a quick call to malloc(...) and free(...) while printing where the memory is being allocated as a test. The next challenge is to provide an alternative to malloc(...) and free(...) to improve performance. From what I've seen, you can't provide your own definition for malloc and free under Visual Studio without recompiling CRT, and I don't get brk or sbrk under windows. Is there any other way to allocate memory?
If you have ALOT of objects with static data structs (of same mem size) with constant construction/destruction of them then Free Pools can greatly increase your performance.
Allocate/deallocate is as simple as modifying a next pointer on the object and the header pointer of the pool (plus any needed data prepopulation on construction)
Each mem size of pooled objects can have its own free pool (Ive even done minor struct variants all forced to be the same mem size so that a free pool would work more flexibly)
A Free Pool can grow if needed using allocated blocks of additional nodes instead of static arrays.
Dynamic freepool allocated subobjects belonging to normally allocated irregular objects can be done if the lifecycle and sizing limitations are met.
Many games have many similarly staticly sized objects like projectiles, inventory itemes, state/event messages, registration markers, packetbuffers, etc .. who have patterns of usage that shortcutting the allocate/deallocate process could bring significant processing improvements.
As someone else also mentioned ring buffers for certain processing can also increase efficiency (this is basicly the same idea as freepools taken a step further)

Williamson Tea of Kenya Falls, Heads for Three-Month Low
Jan. 25 (Bloomberg) -- Williamson Tea Kenya Ltd., the country's second-biggest tea company, headed for its lowest close in three months after the country's industry board said tea production may decline this quarter.
The stock dropped 3.4 percent to 255 shillings by 1:17 p.m. in Nairobi, the capital. A close at that level would be the lowest since Oct. 21, according to data compiled by Bloomberg.
Tea output may decline to about 70 million kilograms (154 million pounds) in the three months through March, from 85 million kilograms a year earlier, after dry weather and frost damaged the crop, the Tea Board of Kenya said today.
"They got windfall gains last year from the currency which will not be repeated again unless they were smart enough to buy cover when the exchange rate was at a good level," Aly Khan Satchu, chief executive officer of Nairobi-based investment company Rich Management, said in a phone interview today.

Weaver had already cast a ballot from the student's account, which was why she couldn't vote.
The techs called campus police, who found Weaver at the school computer. He had keyloggers with him and was arrested.
After a brief jail stay, Weaver and a friend created fake Facebook pages using the names of real students. They posted fictitious conversations on those pages to make it look as if those students had conspired to frame him.
The "conversations" on those bogus pages were sent to reporters at U-T San Diego, 10News and the campus newspaper but none took the bait.
Meanwhile, the school scrapped the election and held another one. They also cleaned up the security breach at a cost of more than $40,000, Feve said.
The school wants the money back, and Weaver will return to court this month for a restitution hearing.
