We found ourselves amidst many interesting characters as Space Week introduced us to aliens from across the galaxy. The girls had loads of fun dressing up for dinner with aluminum foil and lots of antennae. They also thoroughly appreciated the hard work of our cooks to make them alien cupcakes.
Camp Elk River
The girls enjoyed going to connection time where they got to learn more about things at camp that interested them most, such as swimming and drama. They loved this week's special all-camp space event–they went on a rocket moon search!
Camp Lakamaga
The girls' favorite activities this week were swimming, boating, low ropes and archery. Our staff enjoyed the forever changing faces of both girls and staff coming to camps for trainings. We ended our wonderful week with a roaring fire, with several skits, lots of songs and much laughter.
Make sure to watch the videos from the rest of the summer too!

Here's a treat for all you Buddies fans. It's a four-man, anything-goes, all-out fuck fest. When Donny Wright and Dylan Hauser sneak off from the party to get sexy, they think they find a private bedroom of their own. But soon after they start feeling each other up, James Jamesson and Patrick Rouge walk in while looking for a hideaway for themselves.
Instead of telling Patrick and James to kick rocks, Dylan sees this as an excellent opportunity to turn up the heat! Soon, all four of these hotties are rock hard and enjoying some sweet action. While Patrick is sucking James's cock, James mingles with Donny who has Dylan's mouth slurping his fattie. Soon Dylan and Patrick are taking hard dicks in their asses and sharing in the gang-fuck fun. I give this scene four out of four erections - a perfect score!

Summary: Although neither China nor Taiwan wants war, both pursue policies that raise the risk of bloodshed: the first by issuing vague warnings, the second by testing their limits. To stabilize the situation, the Bush administration should help broker a temporary agreement under which Taipei would put off independence and Beijing would stop threatening to attack.

YIELD: Makes 4 servings
Bring 1 1/2 inches water to a boil with ginger in a deep 12-inch skillet and add chicken. Poach at a bare simmer, turning over once, until just cooked through, 8 to 12 minutes. Transfer chicken with a slotted spoon to a plate and when cool enough to handle, finely shred.
Whisk together soy sauce, vinegar, red pepper flakes, and sesame oil in a large bowl to make dressing.
Heat vegetable oil in cleaned skillet until hot but not smoking, then sauté mushrooms over moderately high heat, stirring, until golden, about 6 minutes. Add scallions, garlic, and salt and pepper to taste and sauté, stirring, until scallions are just softened, about 1 minute.
Add to dressing, then add chicken and cilantro and toss. Serve chicken salad with lettuce.

Nadia Radwan in Benghazi contributed to this report for Magharebia - 26/08/2014
Libya has two rival governments, after the outgoing General National Congress convened in Tripoli on Monday (August 25th) to name its own premier.
The GNC, which was replaced this month by the House of Representatives elected in June, appointed pro-Islamist figure Omar al-Hassi.
But a government headed by interim Prime Minister Abdullah al-Thani already exists.
"The meeting was illegal, its decisions are illegal and the only legislative body is parliament," AFP quoted al-Thani as saying from Tobruk in a joint news conference with House of Representatives head Ageela Saleh.
According to Libya Herald, the two officials also condemned Grand Mufti Sadik Al-Ghariani, who has criticised the newly elected legislative body and voiced support for Islamist militias.
"The grand mufti has issued illegitimate and incorrect fatwas," the prime minister said.
Overnight Saturday, the House of Representatives - also based in Tobruk for security reasons - stated its intention to fight back against the Islamists, using the regular armed forces.
"The groups acting under the names of Fajr Libya and Ansar al-Sharia are terrorists and outlaws that are rising up against the legitimate powers," parliament charged.
The move came soon after outlaw militias declared control of Tripoli International Airport.
The political upheaval in Libya also coincides with a meeting of Libya's neighbours to discuss the regional implications of the unrest.
Monday in Cairo, the foreign ministers of Libya, Egypt, Algeria, Tunisia, Sudan and Chad voiced support for Libya's House of Representatives. The countries also backed an Egyptian call for rival militias in Libya to be disarmed, and agreed that there should be no foreign intervention to stem the violence, AFP reported.
Libyans, meanwhile, are reacting to the news of the GNC reappearance.
Nasser Hussain, a 40-year-old employee, said: "The House of Representatives elected by the people is the only legitimate body in Libya."
Abdullah Nayed, a 35-year-old electronic engineer, said, "The primary objective of Operation Libya Dawn is to thwart the parliament, after the Muslim Brotherhood and groups affiliated with the Islamic movement failed to win seats." "The presence of the parliament in Tobruk means it became out of the control of the battalions and Shields of the Brotherhood, which used to do as they wished," he added.
Ahmed Alzentani, a dealer, denounced what he called an "evil attempt of coup d'état".
"Tripoli and its facilities and its airport and bridges were destroyed, its population forced out and its movement paralysed for over two months, in order for malicious people to achieve their political goals of a coup against legitimacy and the return of their domination of the reins of power," he told Magharebia.

Grid investment gap: New numbers a wake-up call
Quick take: For too long, smart grid advocates have relied on vague statements and ballpark estimates from the last decade. Now, thanks to this rigorous and up-to-date analysis, we can accurately quantify the benefits we will receive from grid modernization... and the penalties that will accrue if we delay. - Jesse Berst
Without new investments in our electricity infrastructure, service interruptions and capacity bottlenecks will become more frequent and unpredictable, imposing direct costs to businesses and households. That's one conclusion from the American Society of Civil Engineers (ASCE), which did the math on current grid investment trends versus investment needs for its new report Failure to Act: The Economic Impact of Current Investment Trends in Energy Infrastructure.
According to ASCE's analysis of the nation's transmission, generation and distribution systems, extending current investment trends for these assets through 2020 shows an anticipated investment of $566 billion, but also reveals a $107 billion shortfall compared to needs.
The report suggests that closing the gap would:
· Lead to fewer brownouts and blackouts and save American businesses $126 billion
· Prevent the loss of 529,000 jobs and $656 billion in personal income losses
· Benefit America's economic competitiveness by protecting $496 billion in Gross Domestic Product (GDP) and $10 billion in revenue from U.S. exports
"Just like the roads we use every day, when there are bottlenecks or congestion in our electricity infrastructure, it affects everyone. And fewer disruptions mean real money to American businesses and households," said Andrew W. Herrmann, P.E., president of ASCE.
The report indicates there is reason to believe the gaps can be overcome, including an upturn in investment in electricity infrastructure in the last decade.
"The outlook for our grid and the system overall is good because the rate of investment has increased substantially in the past few years. In fact, the total needs projected for each year between 2012 and 2020 fall within the range of spending seen between 2001 and 2010. We saw an increase from $44 billion to a high of $101 billion in that timeframe, and so if spending keeps pace we will be able to close the gap," said Steven Landau of the Economic Research Group of Boston, the lead author of the report.
So what's your take? Do these numbers make you feel more positive or less so about the prospects for grid modernization? Use the Talk Back comment form to tell us what you think.
Global Smart Grid Federation Publishes Report on Leading Smart Grid Projects Around the World
LONDON, April 26, 2012 /PRNewswire-USNewswire/ -- The Global Smart Grid Federation (GSGF), a collaboration among national and regional smart grid associations from around the world, announced the release of its inaugural report on the global state of smart grid.. The report investigates the key challenges facing deployment of smart grid as well as highlights leading projects from around the world. The report is based on extensive research from current GSGF member markets; Australia, Canada, Continental Europe, Great Britain, Ireland, Korea, Japan and the United States.
"The report provides industry leaders with real-world best practices that can be applied to their own projects," said Guido Bartels, GSGF Chairman. "...it also provides policy makers with insights into successful national smart grid activities, while providing regulators with models of innovative regulatory constructs that enable cost effective investments. This report is a clear indication of the consumer and system benefits gained through global collaboration as we work to transform the world's electricity systems."
Albert Cheung, Head of Energy Smart Technologies at Bloomberg New Energy Finance, said, "The report gave very insightful perspectives on the individual national context for smart grids in each of the countries profiled. I compliment GSGF for its practical approach to global collaboration and sharing of best practices".
The report interviewed leading smart grid project managers around the world and reached a few key conclusions:
- The funding of national security objectives, environmental policy goals and job growth is being passed from the tax payer to the electricity rate payer.
- Engaging consumers from the beginning of the smart grid deployment process is a key to success. Utilities should be less technocratic in their approach and employ best practices from other consumer-centric industries.
- As smart grids increasingly become the mechanism to meet environmental, security and economic goals, there is a role for governments to work closely with utilities in stating the value of consumer participation.
The report can be downloaded from the GSGF website at www.globalsmartgridfederation.org
Established in 2010, GSGF is committed to creating smarter, cleaner electricity systems around the world. By linking the major public-private stakeholders and initiatives of participating countries, the federation shares best practices, identifies barriers and solutions, fosters innovation, and addresses key technical and policy issues.
In addition, GSGF works with the International Smart Grid Action Network (ISGAN), an intergovernmental organization to address the broad challenges of deploying smarter grids. This nexus of public and private sector provides a forum for communication and collaboration, which will facilitate consensus-building within the international community to address electricity system and climate change concerns.
Member organizations of GSGF include Smart Grid Australia, GridWise Alliance (U.S.), EDSO for Smart Grids (EU), SmartGrid Ireland, Japan Smart Community Alliance, Korea Smart Grid Association, Israel Smart Energy Association, Smart Grid Canada, SmartGrid GB (Great Britain), and India Smart Grid Forum.

$250,000. That's how much David Stern is going to fine the San Antonio Spurs for sitting out Tim Duncan, Manu Ginobili and Tony Parker against the Miami Heat. Wow…..man, just wow. Here's Stern's official statement on the matter: "The result here is dictated by the totality of the facts in this case. The Spurs decided to make four of their top players unavailable for an early-season game that was the team's only regular-season visit to Miami. The team also did this without informing the Heat, the media, or the league office in a timely way. Under these circumstances, I have concluded that the Spurs did a disservice to the league and our fans….."The Spurs' actions were in violation of a league policy, reviewed with the NBA Board of Governors in April 2010, against resting players in a manner contrary to the best interests of the NBA."

Harvard head coach John Tillman agreed Tuesday night to become the ninth head coach at Maryland.
The paperwork is still being completed, but an announcement could come as early as Wednesday, according to a source familiar with the situation.
Harvard head coach John Tillman agreed Tuesday night to become the ninth head coach at Maryland.
The paperwork is still being completed, but an announcement could come as early as Wednesday, according to a source familiar with the situation.
Terps athletic director Debbie Yow and senior associate athletic director Michael Lipitz, who heads the university's search committee, did not respond to e-mail inquiries. A school spokesman declined to comment, citing the absence of official paperwork required before confirming such a hire.
Tillman has guided the Crimson to a 20-19 overall record in three years. In 2009, the team won eight games, the most the program had accumulated since 2002.
Before Harvard, Tillman spent 12 seasons at Navy, including the past six as head assistant coach. In charge of the offense, he helped the Midshipmen earn four straight NCAA tournament berths from 2004 to 2007.
Maryland junior defenseman Max Schmidt sounded enthusiastic about the hiring of Tillman.
"I think it's great," he said. "I've heard a lot of great things about him, and I'm excited to meet him. I've heard through the grapevine that he's just an unbelievable coach. He came into Harvard and turned that place around. I heard that he's a great recruiter. He's got a lot of discipline — he was with Navy for 12 years — and I feel like that's something that we can use. That's what we need, some discipline. I think he's a going to be a good fit, a real good fit, and I'm looking forward to getting to know him and having him as our head coach."
Tillman's hiring could be seen as a shot in the arm for the Maryland program, which appeared to struggle to find a successor for Dave Cottle, who stepped down the day after the team's loss to Notre Dame in the NCAA quarterfinals May 15.
Cornell coach Jeff Tambroni, Bryant coach Mike Pressler and Syracuse women's coach Gary Gait — who was an assistant coach for the Terps women's lacrosse team before Cottle was hired in 2001 — each pulled his name from consideration for the vacancy.
Names such as those of Albany coach and former Maryland assistant Scott Marr, Stevenson coach and former Terps assistant Paul Cantabene and Syracuse assistant Lelan Rogers had been floated as potential candidates. But as of Monday, only Tillman and Virginia associate head coach Marc Van Arsdale had been confirmed as having been contacted by the search committee.
Tillman inherits a team that finished 2010 ranked 14th in the country in scoring (11.3 goals per game) and ninth in defense (8.4 goals per game). The Terps graduated just two starters in goalkeeper Brian Phipps and attackman Will Yeatman.
Tillman did not immediately return phone messages seeking comment.

In Minneapolis, Sid Hartman reports T'Wolves President Chris Wright said that the T'Wolves "will present a plan to the Minneapolis City Council within the next 30 days for improvements to Target Center so they can better compete for events with St. Paul's Xcel Energy Center." Target Corp. has "until Sept. 11, 2011, to decide whether to keep their name on the downtown arena." Negotiations are ongoing with the company, but team officials said that they "have more than one corporation interested in replacing Target" (Minneapolis STAR TRIBUNE, 12/16).
COMING TO YOUR CITY: Touchdown Fort Worth spokesperson Chris Gavras said that ESPN's "entire corporate headquarters" -- including ESPN/ABC Sports President George Bodenheimer -- "will relocate" from Bristol, Conn, to Ft. Worth in February for the week of Super Bowl XLV. Gavras said that the net "plans to use a 'skycam' suspended about 50 feet above its downtown footprint" in Sundance Square. In Ft. Worth, Kathy Vetter notes ESPN "will also place a camera on the fifth floor of the Burk Burnett Building, overlooking its main stage in the Chisholm Trail parking lot at Third and Main streets." A "secondary studio will be built on the west side of the Jett Building behind the Chisholm Trail mural." Major advertisers "will follow the network's corporate hospitality into town" (FT. WORTH STAR-TELEGRAM, 12/16).
GOING ONCE, GOING TWICE… In Memphis, Toby Sells reports Dover Motorsports Inc. has "approved the sale" of Memphis Motorsport Park to Florida-based Moroso Investment Partners. The final deal will total $2.06M "after a 10 percent auction buyer's premium." The closing is "scheduled to take place within 30 days." Palm Beach Int'l Raceway President & CEO Jason Rittenberry said that the Memphis racetrack will need $1.5-2M in "capital improvements to get it ready to host major events." He added that "negotiations for the facility between Moroso and Dover have been under way for the last six months," but the parties previously "were unable to agree" (Memphis COMMERCIAL APPEAL, 12/16).

Married to singer Ryan Adams since 2009, Mandy Moore isn't necessarily all-consumed with motherhood like other women her age.
PHOTOS: Adorable star families
"I'm 28, so I think I have time," Moore told Us Weekly on Wednesday at the West Hollywood launch of Rachel Zoe's Jockey-brand Major Must-Haves. Explaining that she "definitely" wants children in "a couple of years," the singer-actress says she and her rocker husband, 37, are having fun as a twosome before they expand their family.
PHOTOS: Hollywood's hottest married couples
"We're enjoying the animal children first," Moore reasons of the couple's pets: rescue cats Vincent and Theo and adopted dog Joni. Moore's also trying to learn her way around the kitchen before having to whip up baby food: "I don't cook very well at all," she admits. "I'm the girl that can't make scrambled eggs."
Another reason Moore is putting off motherhood for the time being: She's hard at work on a new album! Chatting with CBSNews.com in July, Moore revealed that she'll enlist Adams to help out with her seventh studio effort.
"There's tremendous influence right now around the house," she told the site, adding that the pair have been writing together. "From the music I've been introduced to, and being very happy and in a healthy, relationship. I think that still garners a lot of material to write about."

Installing 100.14.19 on Ubuntu
Hi there,
I'm getting nowhere really slow in my attempts to get the Nvidia driver working on Ubuntu Gutsy, and really need some help.
I have downloaded the NVIDIA-Linux-x86-100.14.19-pkg1.run package, and got the linux headers for my kernel version (2.6.20-16).
When I run the installer, I get a message that it cannot find the headers. If I run it with the kernel source path option, it will attempt to compile but fails with a variety of different error messages.
The one I am getting now is "nvidia.ko failed to build!"
I made sure my system was properly set up (following the advice in the sticky in this forum), and really don't know what to do next.
Can anyone shed any light on this or suggest anything I could try?
Many thanks
Re: Installing 100.14.19 on Ubuntu
Please see the forum sticky posts.

(I also read through the installer guide when I first attempted to build the nvidia driver, which was enlightening but unfortunately no dice, obviously)
I'm not expecting anyone to come and hold my hand, but if someone does know anything about this error, if they could just point me in the right direction I would be very glad of the help.
I've attached my install log in case it helps. Thanks a lot.
Re: Installing 100.14.19 on Ubuntu
In your log, I see:
/bin/sh: scripts/genksyms/genksyms: not found
That is not a driver bug. You're missing scripts/genksyms/genksyms on your system. You'll need to talk to the Ubuntu folks about this.
Re: Installing 100.14.19 on Ubuntu
Thanks for taking the time netllama, I very much appreciate it.
I think Nvidia is fantastic for putting in the effort to create proper Linux drivers; I hope I didn't give the impression that I thought there was a problem with the drivers themselves, that certainly was not my intention.
I simply thought that someone on here might be able to quickly point me in the right direction, and you did, so thanks again.

Alien Ape Star`s Finished Artwork
A few of my finals.. The first one was a gift for a friend of my father`s. The second one is some kind of a homunculous-ish selfportrait done 9 years ago, when I was in the 9th grade.. the angel was a gift for my first love and it was made using only milk and holy water. She told me that sometimes it kinda glows a little in the dark and that when she looks at it she can know how I feel

The Fight for Pakistan
And the importance of Punjab.
12:00 AM, Jan 29, 2010 • By APARNA PANDE
The attacks have increasingly turned inward, directed at Pakistan's security forces rather than at India. After the October 10, 2009 attack on the army's headquarters in Rawalpindi, military spokesman Major General Athar Abbas noted that two Punjab-based jihadi groups, Jaish-e-Muhammad and Lashkar-e-Jhangvi, had built a presence in South Waziristan where the attack was planned. The April 2009 Swat offensive and the October 2009 South Waziristan offensives against the Tehreek-e-Taliban Pakistan was directed mainly against this diffuse organization, which had increasingly focused its attacks on Pakistani security forces and political leaders, including former Prime Minister Benazir Bhutto.
Under General Pervez Musharraf, Pakistan joined the war against terror. But it has always been a reluctant ally. This is because the Pakistani military and intelligence agencies do not see eye to eye with the Americans – and others – on the nature of the real threat to Pakistan. For the last eight years Pakistan has been willing to take action against "foreign fighters" like al Qaeda and others, while it has been reluctant to go up against jihad groups like Lashkar-e-Taiba or the Pakistani Taliban. They have preferred to negotiate ceasefires with some groups while allowing others simply to change their names and reappear a few months later. In this way, they avoid having to address the growing problem of radicalization in Punjab. Indeed, many security planners continue to see these virulent radicals not as threats to the state but, to the contrary, as available warriors to defend a Pakistan they believe is besieged from all sides.
Meanwhile, Punjab's struggles continue. It is hard to imagine Pakistan surviving as a democratic state, or even as a state at all, if Punjab is engulfed by jihadist movements.

Degree Requirements
The MSA program begins in June each year with Summer Session II. The MSA degree requires 32 semester hours of graduate course work of which at least 20 hours are in graduate-level accounting courses, and at least 4 hours are in non-accountancy graduate courses.
The 20 accountancy hours required are ACCY 501 through ACCY 505 (each of the five courses awards 4 hours credit). With the approval of a program advisor, students that have an accountancy undergraduate degree with appropriate course work may substitute other graduate accountancy courses for some of ACCY 501 through ACCY 505 courses. For example, advanced accountancy students may substitute ACCY 511, 512 and 560 for ACCY 501, 502 and 503.
Required Courses
|Required Hours
ACCY 501, ACCY 502, ACCY 503, ACCY 504, ACCY 505 or substitute graduate accountancy courses approved by a program advisor
Graduate electives with at least 4 hours credit in a non-accountancy graduate course
Total Hours
Other Requirements:
- Students shall earn least 24 of the 32 total graduate hours while enrolled in the Graduate College at Urbana-Champaign.
- Electives shall form a coherent program of study approved by a program advisor.
- At least 20 of the 32 graduate hours shall be at the 500-level.
- Minimum cumulative GPA, both by semester and program overall, is 3.0.
In addition, students with TOEFL scores below 613 (paper-based), 257 (computer-based), or 103 (internet-based), or IELTS score below 7.0, are required to take the English Placement Test (EPT) when they arrive on campus. Depending on the results of the EPT, students may be required to take a Business English course (ESL 505). The language course does not count toward the 32 hour degree requirement.
MSA students may also enroll in the CPA Preparation course ACCY 398 at no additional cost. This course is taught by professors who specialize in the disciplines tested by the CPA exam. MSA students may receive up to 10 semester hours of credit for the CPA Preparation course, which can help meet the Illinois Board of Examiners requirement for taking the CPA examination. These credits and grade, however, do not count toward the MSA degree or the minimum GPA required to graduate.

Really like these shorts
Familiarity: I've used it once or twice and have initial impressions
Fit: True to size
They are very light with a relaxed fit. They feel like boardies but more durable. They have a nice waist drawstring since there aren't any belt loops and double velcro/button top closer with zip fly. Great for climbing and biking.

Originally written on Fox Sports Carolinas | Last updated 12/22/11
Rookie defenseman Justin Faulk can receive the best experience by staying with the Hurricanes instead of playing for the U.S. team in the world junior championships. The decision comes in part because Faulk has been playing regular minutes since a brief stint in the American Hockey League with Charlotte. So the decision to keep Faulk instead of releasing him to the national team means it's almost guaranteed that Faulk will stay with the NHL club. He has proved himself in the top-six mix among the team's defensemen. "We believe it is in the best interest of our organization and his development for him to remain with the Carolina Hurricanes this year," general manager Jim Rutherford said in a statement. On Wednesday night, Faulk skated a game-high 24 minutes, 43 seconds in a 4-3 loss to the visiting Phoenix Coyotes. It's no secret that the Hurricanes' defense is shorthanded, particularly with Jay Harrison coming off a multi-week absence and Joni Pitkanen remaining out of the lin...

* When Charlie first plays his song "Nightman" in "Sweet Dee is Dating a Retarded Person," everyone points out that the second half of the song sounds like a description of a man breaking into Charlie's room and raping him while he's asleep. A season 1 episode had already implied that Charlie had an uncle who may or may not have molested him, and the implications get worse every time the uncle appears.
* The title is ''It's Always Sunny in Philadelphia'' but the opening credits show Philadelphia's sights at night. Right from the start, you understand the irony of the title.
* Frank's gradual {{flanderization}} over time, including his degrading physical state, are to be expected within the world of the show. In his first appearance, when he's introduced as an upper-class businessman, he makes a conscious decision to embrace the Gang's grimy, depraved lifestyle because his wife divorced him and he's been depressed to the point of suicide about losing most of his money. He was pushed into his upperclass lifestyle by his wife, but after his divorce he decides that he's more comfortable being a debauched drunk. He gets worse and worse in each season as he goes deeper and deeper into the Gang's world.
* In "Sweet Dee has a Heart Attack" Charlie insists that he's got boxes of mail addressed to Pepe Sylvia and Carol in HR, neither of which actually exist. He seems to be going insane, but we know that Charlie is nearly illiterate. Pepe Sylvia = Pennsylvania and Carol in HR = Care of HR. However, this is all countered when Mac insists that everyone he's talking about really does exist. Charlie's delusion might have been an earlier draft of the script, or it might be intentionally vague as to just what is going on.
* In the season 6 premiere, Dennis says that Mac owns literally nothing in the apartment. Seems impossible, but then you remember that when Mac had faked his death in Season 4, Dennis went through the apartment and threw away everything of Mac's ("Goodbye Mac's shit, goodbye Mac's shit...").
* So [[spoiler: Dee's neighbor Gary]] was the serial killer. That explains [[spoiler: how he knew the shears would cut though bone]]. The gang insists that Dee doesn't fit the victim profile, but he's clearly attracted to her. Was he just biding his time? Did she really not fit the profile well enough to murder? Did he kill all those other people ''because'' Dee was taking advantage of him?

In Search of Memory: The Neuroscientist Eric Kandel
Goethe-Institut Chicago
Thursday, April 18, 2013 from 6:00 PM to 9:00 PM (CDT)
Director: Petra Seeger, color and b/w, 95 min., 2008
A portrait of Eric Kandel, Nobel Prize Winner and probably the most significant neuroscientist of recent times. A captivating older gentleman, whom Petra Seeger observes in New York, Vienna and Cahors. He speaks about his research and its connection to his life. As a child, he witnessed the Holocaust. Every person, Kandel explains at the start, will be changed by seeing this film – as with every other experience, too. Learning leads to changes in the synaptic transmissions of the brain. According to the scientist, memory holds our spiritual life together and thereby ensures continuity in our lives. Since the 1960s, he has been researching how short and long term memory works. In those days, this was a new area of science. Today, Kandel works with a young team from all over the world – the film depicts him as a team player, too. In Brooklyn Hall, New York, Kandel reads from his latest autobiographical book. A young woman explains, spellbound, that Kandel is the "rock star" of brain research. Petra Seeger accompanies the researcher and his family on a journey into the past, to Paris and Vienna. Kandel's wife Denise – whose father was a Polish Jew – owes her survival to a French woman, who hid her from the Nazis in Cahors, in the region of Midi-Pyrénées. In Vienna, Kandel visits his childhood haunts, his father's shop, the flat which used to belong to the family, and he pays a visit to the "Ritz" bakery, whose owner was a famous supporter of the Nazi party. The close bond between Kandel's research work and his painful, personal experiences becomes ever clearer. It is as if he has tried to find an explanation for the bitter memories – at least he has researched how they work and how they are made stronger through visual impressions and emotions.
Petra Seeger tries to make this relationship visible by depicting scenes from Kandel's childhood. She has worked as a director since 1979. She has also worked as assistant director, actress and – in some of her own films – as a camera woman. Her films focus on documentaries and portraits, amongst others of Christoph Schlingensief, Peter Zadek and Wim Wenders.

Personally, I think that the "whining" part is not about the closed-source drivers, but simply the fact that the current nVidia drivers don't yet support the latest eye candy. And that just comes down to impatience, which is indeed a slightly childish thing
I also think that we need to give nVidia some credit here. Now, I'm not arguing whether they should release their "IP" or not - as far as I'm concerned, it's theirs and the decision about whether to make it open or not is theirs alone. But given that they have made the decision *not* to release it, they are giving us the next best thing: binary drivers that are of a pretty high standard, and a demonstrated commitment to supporting the changing face of Linux over time.
See, what is "Linux"? Linux users have a bunch of kernel versions with slightly different driver interfaces, some with procfs and others with sysfs, static /dev versus devfs versus udev, various threading mechanisms, and X11Rx.y with all its changes as well. This is daunting for a hardware manufacturer contemplating building drivers, without even considering the *BSDs and Solaris that nVidia supports as well.
I love that Linux is so dynamic. I run Gentoo, because I'm addicted to the latest new toys and I've reached a level where I can fix the breakages when they occur
. But since I've been using it for my production PCs rather than just a toy, I do need some stability. nVidia's fairly conservative approach to releasing drivers probably prevents me from having display foul-ups that could seriously kill my productivity!
I would like to see the odd beta release, because I'm a software developer and I think that widely-distributed betas are very valuable. But once again, it's nVidia's call. Testing Linux drivers must be a real nightmare, compared to (say) Microsoft with their relatively static driver interface and WHQL service. Of course, it can't hurt that Microsoft seems unable to actually deliver a new OS at this point, which gives driver providers plenty of time to iron out their bugs
As was the case with the 2.6 kernel 4k stacks issue, nVidia *will* eventually come through with a high-performance driver that works nicely with X11R7.1. They are currently the only display hardware that I have that confidence in. And you can also bet that sometime down the track (X11R7.2?) a new breakage will occur and people on this site will be "whining" about nVidia's slowness to respond to it.
Until GNU/Linux takes over the world, or the AMD/ATI merger changes the face of the industry, or some other cataclysmic event happens, I suspect that this is how life will continue to be

Many times mild groin pain is caused by a minor injury that
you may not have even noticed. Home treatment is usually all that is needed to
relieve your pain.
Most of the time when a serious problem is
causing groin pain, you will have other symptoms. It is important to look for
other signs of illness when you have groin pain but no known injury. Most
hernias have other symptoms besides groin pain, though
pain may be an early sign of an inguinal hernia. See a picture of an
inguinal hernia.
Pain felt in the groin may be
coming from other parts of the body (radiating or referred pain). This kind of
pain may be caused by:
Pulled muscles, ligaments, or tendons in the leg may cause
symptoms in the groin. Be sure to look for other symptoms when you have
groin pain that is not related to an injury.

To refer to Rubens a inn is an insult. There are no battered bars, or heaving bosoms, or the scent of stale beer and tobacco smoke. There are no crowded common rooms, or cheap entertainment. The flooring is plush, the rooms are exquisite, and the bill is out of this world…
This large shrine the god Sunglory, is not famous for religious reasons as for architectural reasons.
Over three hundred years after the destruction of Linnarson, the ruins of Linnarson remain deserted; the warped magical environs inhabited only by the twisted and bizarre creatures that have been created. Amongst it all, however, the Senior Masters remain, continuing their eternal pursuit of knowledge.
...In the hallowed halls of the University of Linnarson a glimpse may sometimes be caught of the Senior Masters, learned sages and masters of knowledge. They seldom leave their dusty studies full of learned tomes, other than to dine - each evening they will be found shuffling down the dimly lit corridors to the dark and shuttered Great Hall. After feasting at high table by candlelight they will be gone, returning once more to their studies. None but they know of their pact with death, how they have willingly embraced an eternal undeath in which to pursue knowledge, yet this is the reason for the darkened corridors and the shuttered hall, for those who are undead cannot abide the light of the sun…
Sab Rejak, also called the City of the Lost, was once a thriving city until a curse and a plague brought an end to its glory.
Some say that Darigus was murdered for his treasure. Others say that Darigus's court magician did away with the nobleman and ran off with his daughter. And some say that Darigus isn't dead, and took off with his treasure. But no one knows for sure…
Something occured and those in the grand city went mad. Was it a curse, a prophecy, a spell gone wrong, or a magik item opened? Nobody allegedly knows. The city guard on the city walls, saw the madness and were apparently not touched. They tried to keep the crazy ones inside, by blocking the gates and sealing the entrances to the large city wall. The region's leader, eventually sent the Army there to reinforce the city guards, to hold the mad ones in. Since the mad men are incredibly strong and immune to pain, if they escape it would be a plague upon the land. There is still hope that someday they could be restored (perhaps a royal heir or a royal household was in the city). Perhaps they are nearly immortal. The city guards who occasionally decend into the city to drop supplies and stop fires believe that to be true.
Now it is a small town, with its own walls, that rings the old grand city. Over the years, the army and guards, have created a town that supports them. They think themselves immune to the madness, yet their proximity to them, means they are only slightly odd… perhaps becoming mad. The crazed watch over the mad. A running joke is that someday, someone will man their walls to hold them in.
My group had to locate the hidden entrance to an abandoned Gnomish city. They searched for two days before they found what they thought was the entrance. It was the entrance…., to Kiddieland, the Gnomish equivalent of a modern funhouse for children. Evil, nasty super-gremlins had infested the place and had warped much of the magic there to terrorize suckers, er, characters who found the way in.
As long as any can remember, these certain paths allowed one to travel up to and over 20 extra miles a day by using them. One moment one was deep along a small trail, the next he would find himself 20 or more miles farther down the path without realizing it. All was fine until recently. Reports returned talking of the failure of these areas which revealed miles of ancient paths. The protection hiding them has finally failed. Will it release monsters of ages past or reveal magic of unknown worth?
One of the PCs comes across a magical ring that grants some power but has odd aura as if cursed. Yet this curse is different than the standard curse. When the PC puts on the ring he/she suddenly feels married. There is now an illusionary woman, who he/she cares deeply for but who is also always very critical of the PC. The wife is demanding of attention and constantly giving the PC directions. The PC wearing the ring is the only one that can see and hear the bride. The curse can never completely be lifted. Even if the PC takes off the ring and somebody else puts the ring on; the PC will still be visited by the ex-wife at least once a month. During this visit she will demand money and apologies.
